Money

Kevin Spacey booked a massage therapist and then made sexual advances and offered to pay extra money in exchange for sexual favors during the massage ... according to a new lawsuit.

The actor is being sued by a male massage therapist in New York who claims Spacey booked three 90-minute massages in August and September 2016 in a room at the New York Edition Hotel.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the message therapist claims Spacey made unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances and repeatedly pressed him for sexual favors, including him insisting on starting the massage with a focus on the buttocks.

The therapist says Spacey also insisted on doing yoga poses during the massage, exposing Spacey's butt and genitals in the process and making the therapist feel uncomfortable.

In the suit, the therapist claims Spacey repeatedly became sexually aroused during the sessions and even offered extra money in exchange for sexual favors. He also says Spacey repeatedly made sexual comments on his looks and physique.

What's more, the masseuse claims Spacey grabbed the therapist's hand and tried to place it on his genitals, despite the therapist repeatedly rejecting Spacey's alleged advances.

The massage therapist says Spacey booked the appointments through an app, using a different name ... meaning he never knew he was going to see Spacey until he got into the room. He also says Spacey "insisted upon wearing a ski mask" during the appointments.

After the third alleged incident, the masseuse claims he stopped taking appointments altogether at the hotel Spacey allegedly frequented.

The massage therapist claims the Spacey sessions resulted in mental and emotional distress ... saying he still suffers from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and fears for his livelihood as a massage therapist, husband and father.

The masseuse is going after Spacey for damages.

The lawsuit comes a couple months after Spacey was found not guilty on sexual assault charges in the United Kingdom.

As we previously reported ... Spacey was accused of forcing a different male massage therapist to touch his genitals during an in-home massage in 2016, an accusation Spacey denied, and the case was dropped when the alleged victim died during the investigation.

Rick Ross and Meek Mill are solidifying their union as a dynamic duo with a joint album that'll be here right around the time you're handing out candy to costumed kids.

The Maybach Music rappers dropped their new track "Shaq & Kobe" on Friday, the first sounds from their upcoming project entitled, "Too Good to Be True. " A source close to the album's production tells TMZ Hip Hop it'll drop at the end of October.

On the lead track, Meek sets up the alley-oop to Rozay as they flex jewelry and cars inside an airplane hangar near the Boss' private jet -- the references to winning big like the Lakers legends make perfect sense here.

The album will drop on the MMG imprint and the duo's chemistry in the clip surprised many fans who thought they were beefing after Rozay was absent from Meek's last album.

Our source tells us contrary to public opinion, Rozay and Meek have always remained cool ... Meek's rants in the past year were directed at outside parties as the two never had a dispute over money.

They'll have the opportunity to make even more when the project drops.

Michael Oher's conservatorship is officially over.

A Shelby County Probate Court judge just ordered that the conservatorship that's been in place since Oher was 18 will come to an end, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The ruling breaks up a legal arrangement that the former NFL star put in place with Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy back when he was living with the couple before he went to college.

As we reported, Oher had requested its termination in August ... after essentially alleging the Touhys tricked him into getting into it. In a court filing, he said he initially believed the legal docs were a way for the Touhys to formally adopt him.

He claimed in his filing, however, that he later found out it allowed the Touhys to control contract negotiations on his behalf -- potentially screwing him out of a ton of cash ... especially in the deal that led to the creation of the blockbuster movie based on his life, "The Blind Side."

The Touhys, meanwhile, have called BS on Oher's allegations ... with their attorney, Marty Singer, saying in a statement that the conservatorship was simply "established to assist with Mr. Oher's needs, ranging from getting him health insurance and obtaining a driver's license to helping with college admissions."

The Touhys were adamant they'd have no objection to dissolving it.

There are 167,000 speakers in the joint, and they say the sound is just incredible.

Of course, there's a big AI presence ... 5 AI humanoid robots will greet visitors as they gawk at what's inside.

The venue will not only host concerts, there will be super cool events like a feature called "Postcard from Earth" directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Home Depot says Tyrese Gibson is lying about racism in his $1 million lawsuit against them ... and they say there's video evidence backing them up.

Home Depot just responded to Tyrese's lawsuit ... pushing back against his claims of racial discrimination on the part of their cashiers.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Home Depot claims Tyrese came into their store and brought a bunch of items to the cash register, where the cashier scanned everything. HD says Tyrese then went back for more shopping, leaving the register for 25 minutes and forcing the cashier to clear out his transaction.

It's a different story from Tyrese's original complaint, where he claims a computer glitch caused the delay. He also said that because of the alleged delay, people started recognizing him and, feeling uncomfortable, he went to the parking lot instead of staying around to oversee the transaction

Tyrese claimed he told the cashier his two helpers would finish the purchase with his credit card and said she understood his instructions before he left the store ... and said he was told he could go wait outside and she would finish the transaction.

Home Depot claims their surveillance shows Tyrese did NOT speak face-to-face with any of their cashiers.

Remember ... Tyrese also got on FaceTime with a cashier from outside the store and authorized her to complete the transaction his partners were trying to make with his card, but she -- and her manager -- said that wouldn't work, and he would have to come back to the store to show ID.

That's about the only part of the story both sides agree upon -- and, further, Home Depot says its surveillance footage shows Tyrese coming back into the store and getting into a heated discussion, which ends with him showing his ID and the cashier completing his transaction.

Tyrese told us it was hard to sue Home Depot because he's a longtime customer and the store is like his Disneyland ... but Home Depot says they don't know how long he's shopped there and aren't sure how much he's spent over the years -- Tyrese claims it's close to $10 million over 2 decades.

Home Depot dice a Tyrese Gibson que está mintiendo sobre el racismo que acusa en su demanda de $1 millón contra ellos, y aseguran que hay pruebas de video que lo respaldan.

Home Depot acaba de responder a la demanda de Tyrese, contraatacando a sus afirmaciones de que sufrió discriminación racial por parte de sus cajeros.

Según los nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Home Depot afirma que Tyrese entró en su tienda, llevó un montón de artículos a la caja y el cajero escaneó todo. Home Depot dice que entonces Tyrese volvió a hacer más compras, dejando la caja registradora por 25 minutos y obligando a la cajera a borrar su transacción.

Es una historia diferente a la que cuenta Tyrese en su denuncia original, en la que afirma que un fallo informático causó el retraso. También dijo que debido a la supuesta demora, la gente empezó a reconocerlo, se sintió incómodo y se fue al estacionamiento en lugar de quedarse alrededor para supervisar la transacción.

Tyrese afirmó que le dijo a la cajera que sus dos ayudantes terminarían la compra con su tarjeta de crédito y que ella entendió sus instrucciones antes de salir de la tienda. Añadió que le dijeron que podía ir a esperar fuera y que ella terminaría la transacción.

Home Depot afirma que sus cámaras de vigilancia muestran que Tyrese NO habló cara a cara con ninguno de sus cajeros.

Recuerden, Tyrese también afirmó que se conectó  con un cajero de fuera de la tienda por FaceTime y que ella lo autorizó a completar la transacción que sus socios estaban tratando de hacer, pero afirmó que no les permitió pagar los artículos con su tarjeta hasta que regresara a la tienda a mostrar su identificación.

Pero según Home Depot, el cajero simplemente le pidió a Tyrese su identificación y le dijo que FaceTime no era suficiente y que tenía que volver físicamente a la tienda para mostrar su identificación.

Home Depot dice que las imágenes de vigilancia muestran a Tyrese volviendo a la tienda y entrando en una acalorada discusión, que termina con él mostrando su identificación y el cajero completando su transacción.

Tyrese nos dijo que era difícil demandar a Home Depot porque él es un cliente desde hace mucho tiempo y la tienda es como su Disneylandia, pero ellos dicen que no saben cuánto tiempo ha comprado allí ni están seguros de cuánto ha gastado en los últimos años. Tyrese afirma que el momento es cercano a los $10 millones en las últimas dos décadas.

Hit-Boy is looking to cash out on his recent work by actively auctioning his publishing rights to Travis Scott's smash "Utopia" album ... the song that featured Beyoncé!!!

The superproducer surprisingly posted a listing on eBay Wednesday evening ... offering his 5% publishing stake on the track "Delresto (Echoes)."  It's an unprecedented move, but one that seems to be working -- the song has a current bid of $15,000!!!

Travis hands-down has the biggest rap album of the year ... topping Billboard's 200 album chart 4 times now, and the project was certified platinum after just a month.

A song like "Delresto" may prove to be even more valuable down the line on such a notable album, but HB tells TMZ Hip Hop he literally doesn't GAF about hoarding stocks and wants the money A-S-A-P!!!

To sweeten the deal, HB's also including the AKAI keyboard he used to make the beat in the sale, a real steal for music-makers.

It's not like HB is in the minority with his thinking ... rappers have been selling their catalogs more frequently these days, and some are even blatantly lying about offers in hopes of generating interest.

Nelly's one of the real deals ... we broke the story back in the summer when the "Country Grammar" rapper became $50 million richer for parting ways with just half his catalog.

So, HB's just striking while the iron is hot.

He and Travis have made plenty of music and money together, their "Sicko Mode" classic literally went Diamond this year!!!

La gente que hizo una fortuna revendiendo entradas para algunos de los conciertos más populares del año, como el de Taylor Swift o Beyoncé, o incluso grandes eventos deportivos como los partidos de Lionel Messi en Miami, van a tener que pagar, por cortesía del IRS (el Servicio de Impuestos Internos de Estados Unidos).

Las nuevas normas para el formulario 1099-K dicen que los que descargaron entradas en StubHub o Ticketmaster y vendieron más de $600 por los tickets de este año, estarán obligados a declarar las ganancias como ingresos sujetos a impuestos.

El formulario 1099-K se centra en los pagos recibidos de tarjetas de crédito y débito, tarjetas de regalo y las redes de pago de terceros y comercios online, categoría en la que encaja perfectamente Ticketmaster y StubHub.

Como saben, los revendedores fueron prácticamente los principales jugadores en el mundo de los eventos en vivo este año, ya sea vendiendo entradas de segunda mano a los Swifties para el Eras Tour o a los fans de Queen Bey que querían ir a su Renaissance Tour.

Incluso las entradas para los partidos de fútbol de Messi estaban siendo revendidas con un gran sobreprecio.

Folks who made a killing reselling tickets to some of the year's hottest concerts like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé -- or even big sporting events like Lionel Messi's Miami games -- are gonna have to pay up, courtesy of the IRS.

New rules for the 1099-K form say those who unloaded tickets on StubHub or Ticketmaster, selling more than $600 worth of tickets this year, are now required to put the earnings down as taxable income.

The 1099-K form focuses on payments received from credit and debit cards, gift cards, and third-party payment networks and online marketplaces -- which fits Ticketmaster and StubHub right in that lineup.

As you know, resellers were practically top dogs in the world of live events this year ... whether it be selling back to Swifties at the Eras Tour, or fans of Queen Bey wanting to go to her Renaissance Tour.

Even tickets for Messi's soccer games were getting resold for a steep markup.

2:10 PM PT -- Travis Kelce got wind of Mark Cuban's plea to Taylor Swift ... and fired back at the Mavs owner with a playful post on X.

"Just sign me to a ten day [contract!] 😎"

Mark Cuban has seen what Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce has done for the NFL, and he's hoping her influence can transition over to the NBA ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to hook her up with a Mavericks player!!

T. Swift's appearance at the Chiefs game on Sunday had a massive positive impact on Kansas City and the league as a whole ... resulting in massive television ratings and Kelce jersey sales.

The billionaire businessman and Mavs owner is now giving his two cents on the Swift/Kelce sitch ... and he tells us he's not only witnessing a budding romance -- he's also seeing dollar signs.

"Taylor Swift impacts the economy," the Shark Tank star said out in NYC on Thursday. "She adds value everywhere she goes."

"Literally every city she brings her tours to, you can see the economy get a bump out of it. The NFL's gotta be loving this."

Cuban sends a personal message to Swift ... saying he'd love to introduce her to a hooper so the Association can get in on the big biz, too -- that is if things with the Chiefs tight end fall flat.

"The Mavs -- we got a lot of really good-looking, young single guys. Come on!"

Mark Cuban ha visto lo que la relación de Taylor Swift con Travis Kelce ha hecho por la NFL y espera que su influencia pueda pasar a la NBA, diciéndole a TMZ Sports que quiere que salga con un jugador de los Mavericks.

La aparición de Swift en el juego de los Chiefs el domingo tuvo un impacto positivo masivo en Kansas City y la liga en su conjunto, lo que se vio reflejado en ratings masivos de televisión y ventas de camisetas de Kelce.

El multimillonario hombre de negocios y propietario de los Mavs ahora está apostando por este modelo de negocios y nos dice que no solo es testigo de un romance en ciernes, sino que también puede ver signos de dólar.

"Taylor Swift tiene un impacto en la economía", dijo la estrella de Shark Tank en Nueva York el jueves. "Ella añade valor donde quiera que vaya".

"Literalmente, en cada ciudad a la que lleva sus giras, puedes ver cómo la economía recibe un empujón gracias a ello. A la NFL le tiene que encantar".

Cuban le envía un mensaje personal a Swift, que básicamente dice que le encantaría presentarla a un jugador para que la Asociación pueda entrar en el gran negocio.

"Los Mavs... tenemos un montón de chicos solteros muy guapos y jóvenes. ¡Vamos!"

Charlie Puth is picking up the street performer who was left to pick up his piano when a woman smashed it to the ground ... offering words of encouragement and a special invite.

The "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer reached out to Andrew Hsu, the Georgia street performer from a recent viral video, messaging him over the incident.

TMZ obtained the DMs Charlie and Andrew exchanged ... with Charlie telling Andrew, "I'm sorry that bull s*** happened to you ... Don't let it ever discourage you from performing, I know it won't ... But that video just upset me so much. You're a wonderful player and I wish you nothing but success and constant musical inspiration."

Andrew thanks Charlie for the kind words, tells him he's not going to give up performing, shares how he went to Charlie's show in Georgia and says he hopes to meet him and Billy Joel.

As we reported ... video shows Andrew playing Billy's anthem, "Piano Man," in Athens, GA when a rude woman comes up and smashes his piano to the ground. Andrew also accused her of stealing from his tip jar, and she eventually apologized after tons of backlash.

Charlie says he can't really set Andrew up with Billy, who apparently doesn't have a cell phone, but he says he would love for Andrew to come to one of his future shows.

Andrew tells TMZ ... since the video went viral, tons of folks requested to donate to a new piano ... and he put his Venmo on social media and got $2,000 in just two days, earmarking the money for a new keyboard and keyboard stand.

So, it seems like this story has a happy ending for Athens' piano man.

Charlie Puth está apoyando al artista callejero que tuvo que recoger su piano cuando una mujer lo lanzó contra el suelo, ofreciéndole palabras de aliento y una invitación especial.

El cantante de "We Don't Talk Anymore" se acercó a Andrew Hsu, el artista callejero de Georgia protagonista de un reciente video viral y le envió un mensaje sobre el incidente.

TMZ obtuvo el DMs entre Charlie y Andrew, en donde Charlie le dice: "Siento mucho que esa m*** te pasara. No dejes que nada te desanime a actuar, sé que no pasará, pero el video me disgustó mucho. Eres un músico maravilloso y solo te deseo éxito e inspiración musical constante".

Andrew agradeció a Charlie por sus amables palabras y le dijo que no iba a renunciar a sus actuaciones en la calle. También le contó de cuando fue a uno de sus shows en Georgia y le dijo que espera reunirse con él y Billy Joel.

Como informamos, el video muestra a Andrew tocando una canción de Billy Joel en la calle en Atenas, Georgia, cuando una mujer grosera se acerca y bota su piano al suelo. Andrew también la acusó de robarse su tarro de propinas, y eventualmente ella se disculpó después de recibir toneladas de reacciones en su contra.

Charlie dice que realmente no puede organizar un encuentro entre Andrew y Billy, quien aparentemente no tiene teléfono celular, pero dice que le encantaría que Andrew viniera a uno de sus shows la próxima vez que esté en EE.UU..

Andrew le dice a TMZ que desde que el video se hizo viral, toneladas de personas se ofrecieron a donar dinero para un nuevo piano. Él puso su Venmo en las redes sociales y consiguió $2,000 en solo dos días, suma que destinará para un nuevo teclado y soporte.

4:45 PM PT -- Bill Cosby's rep, Andrew Wyatt, tells TMZ … “No comment at this present time because this is utterly ridiculous and pointless.”

Bill Cosby is being sued by one of his accusers for an alleged sexual assault ... one she claims happened over 50 years ago.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Cosby accuser Donna Motsinger claims he took advantage of her way back in 1972, when she was working as a server at the famous Trident restaurant in Sausalito, CA.

Motsinger says she met Cosby at the bayside restaurant, then a celeb hangout, claiming he came by constantly just to see her, ultimately inviting her to accompany him to his show at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos.

In the docs, Motsinger says Cosby picked her up in a limo and gave her a glass of wine on the drive over. She claims he took her to the dressing room, where she began to feel sick and says Cosby gave her what she believed was an aspirin.

Motsinger says she took the pill and started falling in and out of consciousness. She claims Cosby's handlers but her back in the limo with him and the last thing she remembers was flashes of light.

In her suit, Motsinger claims she woke up in her house wearing only her panties and says she "knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby."

Motsinger says she's suffered mental, physical and emotional distress ... and she's going after Cosby for money.

She previously came forward in 2014 with similar accusations against Cosby ... and now she's followed up with a lawsuit.

We reached out to Cosby's camp ... so far no word back.

4:45 PM PT -- El representante de Cosby Andrew Wyatt dice a TMZ: "Sin comentarios en este momento porque esto es totalmente ridículo y sin sentido".

Bill Cosby está siendo demandado por una de sus acusadoras por un presunto asalto sexual, uno que ella afirma que ocurrió hace más de 50 años.

Según una nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, la denunciante de Cosby, Donna Motsinger, afirma que él se aprovechó de ella en 1972, cuando trabajaba como camarera en el famoso restaurante Trident en Sausalito, California.

Motsinger dice que conoció a Cosby en el restaurante junto a la bahía, en ese entonces, un lugar de reunión de celebridades, afirmando que iba constantemente a verla, y que al final la invitó a acompañarlo en su show en el Circle Star Theater en San Carlos.

En los documentos, Motsinger afirma que Cosby la recogió en una limusina y le dio una copa de vino durante el trayecto. Ella afirma que la llevó al camerino, donde comenzó a sentirse mal y que luego Cosby le dio lo que ella creía que era una aspirina.

Motsinger dice que tomó la píldora y empezó a perder el conocimiento. Ella afirma que la llevaron nuevamente a la limusina con él y lo último que recuerda fueron destellos de luz.

En su demanda, Motsinger afirma que se despertó en su casa vistiendo solo sus bragas y dice que "sabía que había sido drogada y violada por Bill Cosby."

Motsinger dice que ha sufrido angustia mental, física y emocional, y que va en busca de compensaciones económicas de Cosby.

En 2014, habló de acusaciones similares. Ahora ha procedido con una demanda.

Ex-New England Patriots star Dion Lewis has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charge he was hit with following his arrest last week, TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court records, Lewis' attorney submitted the plea for the former running back in his Hillsborough County, Fla. court case on Tuesday.

Lewis is now due back in court next month.

We broke the story ... Lewis was arrested on Sept. 18 after authorities alleged he had been unruly and belligerent at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. They claimed the 33-year-old caused a disturbance -- and then refused to leave the premises, leading officers to slap him in handcuffs.

Lewis was hauled off to a Hillsborough County jail ... and later charged with misdemeanor trespassing.
