Floyd Mayweather Watch Me Party with Manny ... And Watch Me Beat Him Up Again

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have decided to put in another night's work ... a night that will produce a 9-figure payday.

Floyd says he and Manny will have a rematch later this year, saying, "I'm coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year another 9 figure pay day on the way."

It's not like Floyd needs the cash ... he made around $220 mil from his 2015 fight against Manny. Money Mayweather added to his 401k to the tune of $275 mil with his Conor McGregor fight last year.

Floyd's 50-0 and it sure seemed like the stat was right for hanging up the gloves, but $$$ is $$$.

The video (above) was shot Saturday at a Tokyo concert ... where Floyd and Manny are together.

Kinda funny ... they clearly don't hate each other, but are willing to beat the living daylights out of each other for a price ... and the price is right.

The first time around, Floyd won in a unanimous decision. Most people called the fight boring.

STAKE IT ON SMITH

Alex Smith is gonna make you a LOT of money this weekend -- if you put your cash on the Redskins to beat up the Colts ... so says Cousin Sal.

Sal's now a pro gambling adviser on FS1's new show, "Lock It In" -- so, with the NFL entering Week 2, we asked for a freebie.

And, why's he so confident Washington will cover the 6-point spread over Indy?

Two words -- Alex. Smith.

"Alex Smith is gonna expose [the Indianapolis defense]. I think he throws for like 2 or 3 TDs. They're gonna win like 30 to 13.

By the way, Sal is Jimmy Kimmel's real-life cousin (hence the name Cousin Sal) -- and the two have been making friendly wagers with their pal, Bill Simmons, for years.

And, what do they bet on? Everything from inappropriate Al Michaels comments to "Dancing with the Stars."

Get that money!!!

Byron Allen Pouring Million$ into Weather Channel ... Look at the Results!!!

Published | Updated

Byron Allen is sparing no expense as he seeks to revamp The Weather Channel ... and his $100 MILLION investment is sparkling at the perfect time.

Byron tells us loads of cash went into developing the channel's new Immersed Mixed Reality graphics ... and he believes the super cool tech will help save property and human life. Especially because it debuted just as Hurricane Florence was making landfall.

The comedian-turned-TV-mogul purchased TWC earlier this year for about $300 MILLION. It's looking like a really smart deal now.

Based on the way Byron broke down the virtues of his new virtual reality in-studio toy ... it sounds like he was that kid who always killed it on show-and-tell day at school.

The cool part is ... this weather show-and-tell will undoubtedly save lives.

Pete Rose 'I'm In Poor Health' ... 'and Disabled'

Published | Updated

Pete Rose says his health is "deteriorating" -- and his income has taken a serious hit -- and he's worried his ex-wife is bleeding him dry.

The ex-MLB star had previously acknowledged that he had heart issues -- with 3 major procedures in the past 5 years -- but now, Rose has filed new docs saying his health is getting worse.

"[Rose] is currently disabled and can barely walk or travel," the 77-year-old said in new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

"His health is deteriorating and has a heart condition and on blood thinners."

Rose added, "I am in poor health and disabled ... and have trouble walking."

In addition to his health concerns, Rose also says he lost 2 jobs in 2017 -- he was axed by FOX Sports and Hit King -- and because of that, his yearly income has already dropped by $550,000.

Rose says he still makes $453k per year -- but has major expenses including attorney's fees and other "great debts."

The docs are all part of his nasty divorce with his estranged wife, Carol Rose. Pete is trying to block her from getting more spousal support and attorney's fees.

Pete has previously begged the court to finalize the divorce once and for all, so he can marry his current girlfriend while he's still relatively able-bodied.

Danielle Bregoli Cash Me on Billboard, Haters ... Even If I Gotta Pay for It

Published | Updated

Danielle Bregoli is bragging about her paid advertisement wrap on the upcoming issue of Billboard ... telling us it's a message to her haters.

We got Bhad Bhabie Thursday in Los Angeles and the rapper tells our photog she bought the cover to tell "these f**king old hip-hop people" she's in the rap game for good.

Danielle isn't trying to hide the fact she dropped some major cash on the paid ad ... it's spelled out pretty clearly ... peep the shopping list poking out of her purse.

Danielle is mum on the cost of the ad, but sounds like it's in the same ballpark as her $45k bling.

As for the actual cover ... Danielle explains why she's not sweating featured artist Lil Wayne.

SHE'S EASY!
TMZ.com

Meghan Markle is a royal, so you could forgive her for being high maintenance when it comes to picking an ensemble, but designer Jason Wu says she's easy like Sunday morning when it comes to fashion.

We got Jason Wednesday at LAX ... and he tells us Meghan simply picked out a dress from his upcoming spring collection to wear to a charity concert in London.

There's been speculation Meghan might be pregnant based on the fit of that dress, but Jason says he isn't privy to that royal secret ... IF it's true.

The royal clothing budget for Meghan, Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton has reportedly increased by $2 million to a whopping $6.5 mil -- which certainly doesn't sound low maintenance, but Jason says that ain't on Meghan.

Meghan is a fashion icon now and has been compared to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Di famously poured over fabrics and designs in Kensington Palace -- but Jason says Meghan's just not that picky. Everyone's different.

Still, it's easy to see why Jason is dying to work with Meghan again.

Henry Cavill 'Superman' Conflict is Fake!!!

Published | Updated

The social media firestorm over Henry Cavill's fate in the next installment of 'Superman' turns out to be an invented conflict ... TMZ has learned.

Sources in the know tell TMZ, there's no real discussion over the main role because there's no active 'Superman' project. It's true ... Cavill has felt he was underpaid for the role and that's an issue, as is what some say was an underwhelming performance.

We're told if and when the next 'Superman' project is greenlit, Cavill along with others would be in play. If, for example, a director felt he was the perfect guy for the role, he could end up with another cape assuming he and the studio could come to terms.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Cavill posted a video Wednesday insinuating the door is not closed.

The whole brouhaha started when Cavill turned down a cameo in "Shazam!" over money, and then accepted a Netflix deal for "The Witcher." Apparently, some people thought he moved on from 'Superman,' but the fact is there's no conflict ... because up to this point there's no movie project.

John Schneider's Ex I've Got Plans For Your 'DWTS' $$$ ... Pay My Lawyers $350k!!!

Published | Updated

John Schneider's bills keep piling up, but that's not his estranged wife's concern ... she's demanding he cut a HUGE check to cover her legal expenses.

Elvira Schneider filed new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- asking the judge to order the 'Dukes of Hazzard' star and new "Dancing with the Stars" cast member to cough up $348,999.50. That staggering amount is how much she says her divorce attorney and accountants are charging her.

According to the docs, Elvira's legal team will walk if they don't get paid ASAP. She claims John earned at least $1 mil last year and has no doubt he can cover the nut.

John has claimed he's not that flush with cash -- as we've reported, he's still on the hook for tons of spousal support, and even went to jail for 3 days for failing to pony up that dough on time. You'll recall ... he recorded and posted his journey to jail.

Elvira says she has no source of income and needs John to step up.

NBA's Chris McCullough Shells Out $100k For Iced Tea ... Chain

Published | Updated

With a nickname like Brisk, you gotta look the part ... and that's exactly what Chris McCullough did ... droppin' a ton of cash for his new chain -- a Lipton Brisk Iced Tea can!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the 2015 1st-round pick wanted something that would symbolize his unique nickname, so he hit up Moses the Jeweler in NYC to hook him up with the one-of-a-kind piece.

We're told the piece -- which is made with 14k white gold and heart and arrow cut diamonds -- took about 6 MONTHS to complete due to all the details.

BTW -- Moses is the same dude who made a $150k gold chain of Larry David's face for producer and manager David Weintraub.

So naturally, his stuff ain't gonna come cheap. We're told Brisk dropped $100k for the piece.

Now, that's icy.

Madonna Note Railing Over Infamous Letterman Show Could Go for Thousands

Published | Updated

A letter Madonna penned about her infamous appearance on David Letterman's show in the '90s is up for grabs, and the rant is likely to fetch big $$$.

Boston-based auction house RR Auction is putting Madge's handwritten note from May 1994 on the auction block at the end of the month. What's puzzling ... she apparently published the letter on her fansite ICON, but no one took notice.

As for what the letter said ... she wrote about "how sexist the world we live in really is" following her disastrous appearance on 'The Late Show,' when she dropped the f-bomb 14 times in an excruciatingly awkward interview with David Letterman. It made censorship history.

She rants in the letter that, had Andrew Dice Clay or Snoop gone on the show and done something similar, "no one would have given a f***."

She goes on ... "In this country you are not allowed to be a girl, look good, have a point of view and have a good time all at once. Need I say more."

The auctioneers say they expect the letter will fetch $2k-$3k ... but we know the drill. If the bidding gets hot, it will go way higher.

Online bids will start being accepted Thursday, and the live auction is on Sept. 25.

NBA's Jimmy Butler My Bev Hills Whip? IS A MINIVAN!

Published | Updated

TO THE BUTLER-MOBILE!

Jimmy Butler has made more than $60 MILLION in his NBA career -- and will most likely sign another $100 MILLION contract soon.

The guy can clearly afford to drive whatever fancy car he desires -- especially when dining in Beverly Hills.

But, there was no Ferrari. Or Bugatti. Or even a BMW. On Wednesday afternoon, Butler was behind the wheel of a minivan ... and damn proud of it.

The Minnesota Timberwolves star was leaving Il Pastaio -- one of the fanciest restaurants in town -- when he told us he needed to get to his car ... a 2017 Toyota Sienna, which starts at $29k.

It's the perfect car for a family -- or even just a couple big dudes getting lunch ... which seemed to be the case for Butler.

We tried to ask about his recent interaction with Iggy Azalea -- and if they're actually dating or not -- but he was laser-focused on his minivan.

Can't blame the guy, the Sienna is a good car -- 0 to 60 in 7 seconds with "spacious, high-quality interior," according to U.S. News and World Report. Oh, and 14 cup holders!!!

Cynthia Nixon Hollywood's Got My Back for NY Gov. ... Donation $ Pouring In!!!

Published | Updated

The stars are aligning with Cynthia Nixon in her bid to become the next governor of New York.

Lee Daniels, Marisa Tomei, and Aaron Sorkin are just some of the MANY celebs who cut checks totaling thousands of dollars ... this according to the NY State Board of Elections Campaign Finance Disclosure records.

The list is impressive:

-- Daniels $5,000

-- Tomei $1,500

-- Sorkin $1,000

-- "Sex and the City" creator Darren Star $5,000

-- 'SATC' costume designer Patricia Field $7,000

-- Sigourney Weaver $1,000

-- Christian Siriano $1,000

Alec Baldwin donated a whopping $16k back in July and TMZ can now report he cut Nixon's campaign another $5k check on Aug. 31.

Chelsea Handler is another repeat contributor ... first with $1k in June and again in July with $1,500. John Slattery, Amy Sedaris, Sarah Paulson, Andy Cohen, Edie Falco, Debra Messing and Rosie O'Donnell are other celebs who are rallying behind Nixon.

BTW ... Nixon's raised nearly $2.5M in 2018, but her rival, incumbent Andrew Cuomo, is way ahead with more than $12M in donations. Super BTW -- 'cause we know you're wondering -- T.I. is a big Nixon fan (even though he has no idea who she is), but he hasn't put his money where his mouth is. At least not yet.

Scooter Braun's Co. Suing Gaga's Ex-Mgr for Unpaid $10 Mil Loan Manager Plays Race Card

Published | Updated

3:00 AM PT Carter just told TMZ, he does indeed owe money, but the amount was being negotiated when the lawsuit was filed.

7:30 PM PT -- Troy Carter tells TMZ, he never borrowed money from Scooter. He says he agreed to "re-purchase" Atom Factory -- a management company which Scooter bought from Troy -- and Scooter offered him a discount if he paid up front. Carter does not specifically say if he still owes Scooter money.

Troy says he feels he's the victim of extortion because Scooter threatened to sue him for fraud if he didn't pay him the money, adding, "It's ironic how I can make it out of the streets, only to be extorted by paper gangsters and their attorneys."

He then goes after Scooter, "The only fraud is Scooter Braun professing to be a high integrity individual. The spurious speeches about equal rights don't square when you make excuses for clients that make jokes about 'n******s.' Or, attempting to spin the press when a client diminishes the horrific crimes of slavery. He goes on ... "Had these comments been anti-semitic, he would've made sure those clients never worked again. It's financial gain over personal principals."

And, he says, "There are only a handful of African-American executives left in our business and yet he's okay with attempting to falsely ruin my reputation."

Scooter Braun's company is going after Lady Gaga's former manager for millions it loaned him, but never got back ... according to a new lawsuit.

Ithaca Management Holdings, Scooter's Co., is suing Troy Carter -- in addition to managing Gaga, he used to be a muckety-muck at Spotify. In the docs, Ithaca Management says it loaned Carter in excess of $10 mil in June 2016.

IMH says the deal was if Carter's company got paid from a case it was arbitrating, it would fork over the $10 mil-plus it was loaned. Sources connected to the case tell us Carter was arbitrating a dispute with his ex-client, Gaga.

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Carter's firm did settle the case but tried to hide the money, instead of paying off the loan. IMH sent a letter to Carter in August demanding its funds ... to no avail.

Now, Scooter's lawyers want a judge to force Carter to fork over the dough -- or start foreclosure on the property and other assets he put up as collateral for the loan.

Marc Anthony Credit Card Thief Getting Hard Time At Least 2 Years in Prison

Published | Updated

The guy who robbed Marc Anthony blind for years just got slapped with a sentence that'll put him behind bars for at least a couple of years ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Kyle Tessiero was sentenced to prison Wednesday in New York after pleading guilty back in June to first degree grand larceny. The judge gave him 2 to 6 years in a state prison. We're told prosecutors were pushing for 3 to 9.

Tessiero was also ordered to pay back $9.1 million to Marc. It's unclear if Anthony will file a civil suit to force Tessiero to pay up.

We broke the story ... prosecutors say Tessiero was using Marc's Amex card and siphoning funds from the singer's bank account for years. He worked at the accounting firm Marc and other celebs used. He really went hog wild after getting access to Marc's finances ... spending upwards of $2.5 million just between 2009 and 2017.

Nicki Minaj Broken Promise ... Actor Geoffrey Owens Hasn't Received a Dime

Published | Updated

Nicki Minaj can dodge a shoe, host a weekly radio show and get millions of views on her music videos ... but when it comes to honoring a pledge to help a struggling actor -- so far, nothing.

Last week on her 'Queen Radio' show, Minaj said she was sending Geoffrey Owens -- the 'Cosby Show' star who took a gig at Trader Joe's and was shamed for it -- $25,000 to help him out.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Minaj and her team have yet to even contact Geoffrey or his people, much less hand over the cash.

Here's the thing ... we're told Owens is not looking for a handout, and if Nicki does end up making good on her pledge he'll likely donate the loot to his favorite charities.

On Monday's episode of 'Queen Radio,' Nicki discussed her pledge ... saying she was having a tough time getting in touch with Owens' team -- but our sources say Geoffrey's team hasn't heard a peep, and are easily reachable.

$25,000 or not -- Owens has had a ton of success since the Trader Joe's pic hit -- joining Tyler Perry's "The Haves and the Have Nots" for 10 episodes and landing a gig on "NCIS: New Orleans."
