Liz Cambage has a message for WNBA players -- if they really wanna make a buck, they're gonna have to find it outside of their salaries ... 'cause she sure as hell didn't buy her mink coat and blinged-out teeth with a game check!!

The former Los Angeles Sparks star turned to OnlyFans after leaving the W ... and it wasn't long before she made more dough on the subscription-based platform than she did on the court.

She reportedly made more than a million bucks in no time. Remember, the supermax in the W is just over $200K -- an obvious reason why she jumped on OF ... and she tells us other players should follow her lead and earn a living in other ways on top of their day jobs.

Aaron Phypers has filed docs to the court about his financial troubles amidst his messy divorce ... now, it looks like he's changing up his approach -- looking it hit it big with the lottery!

The estranged husband of Denise Richards walked into a liquor store in Calabasas earlier this week ... and, he walked out while holding a stack of red and white papers we're told are lottery tickets.

Check out the pics ... Phypers has a serious look on his face -- and certainly a lot on his mind.

Taylor Swift not only dropped the album of the year on Friday, AMC Theatres also released the surprise cinematic experience "Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl" ... and let’s just say the Swifties not only showed up, but made cinematic history!!!

AMC Theatres Distribution tells TMZ ... the release of 'TLOAS' album debut cinematic experience is the "biggest album debut event in cinema history" -- just from opening day domestic sales alone.

With no Thursday previews, no morning shows, and a start time of 3 PM ET, most films would have struggled to build momentum -- however, Taylor pulled in a jaw-dropping $15.8 million on opening day ... and we're told as of Saturday morning, the domestic weekend box office forecast remains $25-30 million.

1:55 PM PT -- Aaron Phypers' request was denied by the judge due to "Insufficient evidence of immediate loss or damage to property subject to disposition in the case." In the order, the judge reminds both sides to adhere to the terms of their respective restraining orders ... and writes Aaron may file a request "seeking attorney fees and or interim spousal support."

11:11 AM PT -- Denise Richards just filed a response to Aaron Phypers' request ... She does not consent to the order requested and wants it denied.

Aaron Phypers is asking a judge to order Denise Richards to give him access to their joint bank accounts ... because he says he needs $150,000 or he might end up homeless.

The actor filed the document earlier this week ... and, in it, he claims Phypers and Richards had millions of dollars in joint accounts before he filed for divorce, saying Richards "took control of the accounts and has not allowed me access to any of the funds."

Phypers acknowledges a good chunk of the money comes from Denise's OnlyFans ... though he also mentions he took many of the photos on the page -- and insists he owns the copyright to those pics.

12:00 PM PT -- TMZ Sports is told Sophie Cunningham is planning to donate all of the proceeds from the GoFundMe to a Ronald McDonald House charity.

Sophie Cunningham just launched a GoFundMe for a good cause -- raising money to help pay for all her fines from the WNBA ... and it got some folks all worked up before they peeped the fine print.

The Indiana Fever guard shared the campaign on her X page on Thursday ... with a goal of $26,000 to settle her debt with her employer due to penalties she received during the season.

"I could use your help with my fundraiser on GoFundMe," Cunningham said. "Please share, support, or donate -- every small action counts. Might as well have fun with it, huh?"

Elon Musk just achieved another milestone ... because he hit the halfway mark on his way to becoming the world's first trillionaire.

And just in case you were wondering ... he's on track to become a trillionaire in 2033, when the first of two vesting dates for his proposed $1 trillion pay package from Tesla kicks off.

Bella Thorne just cashed out on her sweet Los Angeles digs ... unloading her hilltop canyon estate for a cool price ... TMZ has learned.

Real estate sources tell us the actress sold the Topanga Canyon property on Monday for $3.9 million. The 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom property is tucked past a private gate on 10 acres of prime land, and whoever scooped it up is walking away with a one-of-a-kind retreat.

Bella purchased the home in 2019 for $3.3M ... it comes with a floral installation that Bella and renowned florist Kristen Alpaugh created.

Rod Wave's "Last Lap" tour didn't conclude as planned, and the Florida rapper is now staring down a new lawsuit filed by concert giant Grizzly Touring, who says Wave made costly mistakes ... to the tune of $27 million!!!

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Grizzly claims Rod Wave and Hit House Entertainment owe the touring company approximately $27 million in unearned advances, insisting the "Rags To Riches" star flat out REFUSED to honor his contractual obligations to secure exclusivity to his live performances.

Grizzly says they advanced Rod Wave and were set to pay him $40,250,000 for 35 shows -- and even advanced him $20,125,000 upfront to cover various costs, including production ... and then advanced even more money for various expenses, bringing the grand total to more than $57 million.

Yet to date, the touring giant says Rod has only performed 26 shows, earning $29,900,000 against the guarantee, and Grizzly says he or Hit House haven't complied with their demands for the extra $27 million owed on the advances!!!

To add insult to injury, Grizzly says they've been watching Rod's pockets and saw how he spent the unearned advance money on private jets and a lavish 2nd home.

The lawsuit claims Rod Wave also announced plans to launch a new tour through his own touring company ... which Grizzly says is a blatant violation of his obligation to give them exclusivity under the contract.

All in all, Grizzly says it is owed more than $27 million for the advances plus additional damages for their lost profits ... and they want the judge to block Wave from performing any concerts in violation of the exclusivity provision of their deal.

Spencer Dinwiddie's time in Calabasas is coming to an end -- the former Laker just listed his mansion for a little over $6 million after signing with the Hornets this offseason.

The 6'5" guard put his house back on the market this week with Josh & Matthew Altman of Douglas Elliman ... a 7,269 square foot property that's close to the Malibu coast and has breathtaking views of the Santa Monica mountains.

Hot Boys rapper Turk was unceremoniously booted from the Cash Money Millionaires' 30th Anniversary Tour after clashing with his groupmate B.G. ... but Turk says the promoters still owe him more than $300K on his contract, and he's taking legal action to get it!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained legal docs on Friday filed in Broward County, Florida, showing Turk is suing Artists By Artists Agency LLC and Dope Shows Inc. for breach of contract, unauthorized use of his name and likeness, and more.

According to the suit, Turk was booted from the tour in July after he was faced with a pay cut and refused to budge, citing the contract he previously signed ... he says the contract was for $400K and he wasn't going to walk away from the hundreds of thousands still owed to him under it.

Daymond John says Las Vegas has taken a big hit recently ... but, hotels and casinos in the area may just hit the jackpot with a new game plan and a fortuitous schedule next year.

We caught up with the "Shark Tank" star on "TMZ Live" Friday ... and, we talked about Sin City's well-documented downturn ... with many avoiding the city because of high prices.

John tells us the USA isn't as welcoming as it used to be ... which he thinks could be leading to a decline in international tourism to the area. Plus, the younger generation isn't drinking as much ... so, there's less incentive to go to a place like L.V.

Wilt Chamberlain's game-worn uniform from his epic 1969 NBA Finals battle with Bill Russell's Celtics is on the auction block ... a piece of basketball history that'll almost certainly rake in over 7 figures!

The iconic jersey and shorts combo -- worn by the NBA legend during the regular season AND in two games during the Finals --  is currently being auctioned by Sotheby's, and will close Tuesday afternoon ... where it's expected to sell for over a million bucks, and potentially much more.

The current bid is $320K.

Yolanda dubs the property a slice of heaven -- and it sure does look it with a main house, three guest cottages, barn and resort-style pool -- all decked out under Yolanda’s personal design vision.

Nas and his sturdy team of investors within the New York State Gaming Commission just voted to close on a $5.5 billion Resorts World Casino in his Queens hometown ... and at least one politician couldn't resist ribbing Jay-Z, whose bid to open a Caesars Palace casino didn't share the same fortune!!!

The "Illmatic" legend wasn't present at the meeting ... but Queens Borough President Donovan Richards took it upon himself to eulogize Jay and Roc Nation's casino plans before he cast his deciding final vote.

"Sorry, Jay-Z, we win again," Richards quipped ... while letting it be known he was flinging some of that ether in Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso's direction to make his soul burn slow.

Logan Paul's got a new house -- a $32.5 million crib in Puerto Rico -- and on Wednesday, he showed his fans it has ALL the bells and whistles.

D4vd was making lots of money by the time he was finishing up high school ... because he was just 17 years old when he signed a record deal that started to line his pockets with a multi-million dollar advance.

D4vd put pen to paper in September 2022, when he was 17, and the deal called for him to be paid at least a $3 million advance for an EP, an album, and various other deliverables.
