"Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele has been called many things ... but subtle isn't one of 'em ... and last night she told her BF Orlando Scandrick it's time to pony up for a RING!!!

Draya was leaving Boa Steakhouse on Sunset when we asked if her Dallas Cowboys superstar BF has thought about how he's going to spend his playoff bonus money.

That's when Draya dropped the not-so-subtle hint to TMZ Sports ... saying, "I don't plan for other people's money ... but I hope that he has a nice investment that he's going to buy that has to do with rings and things and sparkly stuff."

She playfully added, "I like diamonds!"

No pressure, Scandrick.

Teresa and Joe Giudice just DRASTICALLY reduced the asking price for their New Jersey mansion, because they MUST move out stat for cheaper digs.

The convicted couple just slashed half a mil off the asking price. But the situation is more dire than it seems. They had initially listed the house for $3.99 million, but there were no takers, so in November they lowered the price by $500,000. Still no takers.

The latest cut brings the asking price to a relatively reasonable $2.99 mil. Their realtor believes that should do the trick.

Teresa and Joe are cash strapped after their conviction and they want to radically downsize.

No, a backdoor didn't smack Farrah Abraham in the face ... she got what could well be the worst lip injections in the annals of medical history.

Farrah may look monsterish, but that didn't stop her from posting the pics online herself with the caption, "Girlfriends don't say I didn't warn ya ! #BOTCHED California #ER #fixit"

We're told Farrah was getting a new procedure, where the doctor puts an implant in the patients lip ... which in theory is cost effective because you don't have to maintain the work with fillers.

Farrah says she researched the doctor and the procedure and decided it was a safe bet. She was wrong. She says the doctors injected her with an anesthetic before the procedure ... and believes she had a MAJOR allergic reaction.

Farrah is no stranger to artificially enhancing body parts, but this takes the cake.

The "Backdoor Teen Mom" star tried to put a good face on it, comparing herself to Leela from "Futurama."

The goal of "The Bachelor's" 3-hour Season 19 premiere was to end up with a rose ... not an IV bag.

Former "Bachelor in Paradise" contestant Clare Crawley got comfy with paramedics Monday night ... after experiencing hot flashes, severe cramping, and unbearable nausea following a full day of partying leading up to the show's premiere party.

Clare tells TMZ after walking the red carpet she began to feel sick ... so while the rest of the crew partied she went back to her hotel room with former Bachelor contestant Michelle Money.

She was in such bad shape, Money called 911 ... LAFD came to the rescue with anti-nausea meds and tons of fluids ... while Money snapped an Insta-pic to chronicle the illness.

Crawley thinks dehydration and an empty stomach played a big part -- that and the fact she claims she never drinks ... which she did that night.

DATING TIP: Guys like a woman who can handle their liquor.

11:30 AM PT -- Sheen tweeted an apology to Kim. He wrote:

Dear Kim,
my extreme bad.
really embarrassed by my
actions.
I was already pissed about some other crap that had nothing to do with you.
I heard a story that
bothered me.
wrote some trash you didn't deserve. Ever.
I'm an idiot as often as I'm a genius.
that day, clearly I was the
former.

Charlie Sheen isn't done with Kim Kardashian, telling TMZ, "Zero gratitude, zero awareness, zero talent, a pox on the face of entertainment she is!"

Charlie tells us he actually didn't mean to send the vicious tweet this morning, saying he wrote it a month ago and it accidentally posted Tuesday morning. Nevertheless, he says he stands by it.

Charlie ranted that Kim turned a cold shoulder to a 6-year-old girl who wanted her autograph. Charlie wrote, "Go f yourself," saying Kim's ass was "gross" and "giggly."

Although he deleted the post, he says he stands by his comments. Charlie tells us it's a true story which he heard from C. Thomas Howell. Charlie says Howell told him the girl waited for Kim at a lunch place and politely asked her for her John Hancock when they were alone in the parking lot. He says Kim told her assistant, "Oh God, can you handle this."

Charlie says, "The assistant and dooshy got in her car and pulled out and sped past the poor little 6-year-old without even a glance to the child."

Charlie Sheen went on a wild rant against Kim Kardashian in the wee hours Tuesday morning, telling her to go "f yourself" for allegedly crushing a little girl's dream.

Charlie says a friend told him about a 6-year-old girl who worshiped Kim and asked her for her autograph. Charlie says Kim turned the kid down flat, adding, "She cries about it every night before she goes to sleep."

And that's when he goes off: "you are lucky that ANYONE cares about your gross and giggly [sic] bag of funk you dare call an ass."

He dares her to compare resumes with him, and then says, "your public loves u. give something back or go f yourself."

His parting shot, "My apologies to your hubby, great guy I'm sure, I hope his vision returns one day."

He signs it "c." Not even a "sincerely."

Sheen deleted the post a short while later.

11:30 AM PT -- Charlie has now apologized.

Teresa Giudice played a form of "Let's Make a Deal" before going to prison ... and she ended up losing a huge cash prize.

Door #1: We're told Bravo was prepared to offer her a "huge deal" if she allowed them to film her final days before entering the big house. Our sources say she would have scored in excess of $50K.

Door #2: Turn down the offer because it might piss off prison officials and others who could possibly grant her an early release.

We're told Teresa chose Door #2.

Teresa says she didn't want to exploit her family's goodbyes -- which is ironic because she had no problem putting them on 6 seasons of 'Housewives' and sitting down with Andy Cohen for $$$.

Sources close to Bravo say the talks Teresa had with Bravo were "informal."

Lil Wayne's baby mama Toya Wright is about to be single once again ... because TMZ has learned she's separated from music producer hubby Memphitz ... and they're now living 2,500 miles apart.

According to our sources, Wright (who has a kid with former husband Lil Wayne) and Memphitz have been having big problems ... Memphitz recently moved to LA, leaving her behind in ATL.

We're told Memphitz -- who appeared with Toya on the BET reality show "Toya: A Family Affair" -- no longer wanted to be part of a "celebrity marriage." For him, it's now all about career.

The couple has been married since 2011. Neither side has filed for divorce yet ... but we're told Memphitz will let Toya file the papers. He's made it clear ... reconciliation is NOT in the cards.

As for rumors Memphitz knocked another woman up, not so ... apparently he had a vasectomy years ago.

The more you know.

Brooklyn Tankard -- one of the stars of Bravo's "Thicker than Water" -- is proving everyone wrong after she was arrested last year for allowing her kid to skip school ... because the kid is now a scholastic star.

A judge ordered Brooklyn to become a more serious parent, monitoring her daughter's homework and school attendance, and apparently it paid off.

11-year-old Diamond just made the honor roll in her 6th grade class.

It's a big turnaround ... Brooklyn's arrest followed 16 unexcused absences and 35 unexcused tardies. Authorities felt Brooklyn was enabling the kid to become a truant.

She got schooled!

Sweet freedom tastes just like a sad egg sandwich -- at least that's what "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice wants to remember it was like.

Teresa was snapped at 2 AM Monday, somberly chowing down her last meal as a free woman -- a hot egg sandwich at Elmer's Diner in Danbury, where she'll be spending the next 15 months.

We're told she spent most of her time at the table with her lawyer ... on her phone, saying goodbye to friends.

Pretty sure she perked up when she saw that prison commissary list.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" inmate Teresa Giudice will be living in the relative lap of luxury while locked up for the next 15 months ... bathing with Dove soap and sipping cappuccinos.

TMZ got its hands on the commissary list from Danbury prison ... it ain't Whole Foods but it's a whole lot better than you'd think. Her food choices include:

-- Hummus and macaroons
-- Albacore tuna
-- Cilantro cubes
-- Louisiana hot sauce
-- Deli meat
-- Oreos
-- Dove bars
-- Wild berry frozen yogurt

And there's plenty she can buy to pass the time, including MP3 players w/ Skullcandy earbuds. She can also buy make-up and cover up those zits with acne cream.

And forget sandpaper to clean yourself ... she can buy Charmin, baby! And for those lingering smells, she can purchase fragrance oils.

The best part ... we're told Teresa can spend more than an entire family -- $320/week -- and get this ... her family can put as much money in her account as they want.

So when she's not stocking up on vitamins and beauty supplies she'll be binge eating Fruity Dyno Bites.

She's going to be VERY popular.

Bill Cosby was the elephant in the room for the season premiere of "Celebrity Apprentice" ... where Keshia Knight Pulliam revealed she has had virtually no contact with the comedian for 5 years.

The episode was filmed way before the latest round of allegations surfaced against Cosby, but years after a female employee at Temple University sued him for sexual assault.

Cosby became the focus of the episode because Pulliam refused to hit him up for a donation as part of the show's challenge. Pulliam was called on the carpet by Donald Trump for not making the call.

Pulliam explained her decision not to reach out to her TV dad ... saying she hadn't spoken to him in years.

But she tweeted Monday, insinuating the silence between them has nothing to do with sexual assault allegations, saying, "That's just not the man I know, so I can't speak to it."

In the end, Trump fired her.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice is ringing in the New Year as an inmate ... after checking herself into prison early Monday morning.

Giudice will be serving her 15-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. According to our sources, Giudice showed up at 3:00 AM ... without husband Joe in tow. He was spotted later in the morning driving the couple's kids to school.

Giudice pled guilty in March to bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

Once Teresa is sprung, Joe will serve a 41-month sentence for fraud. This way while one parent is behind bars, the other can do double duty.

"America's Got Talent" star The Horse -- who famously got his nuts smashed on the show -- gave his girlfriend some wood in a creative proposal of marriage.

Zac Gordon tells us he proposed last weekend by placing the ring in a specially made Groot statue. replicating the popular character from "Guardians of the Galaxy."

Gordon says he didn't even have to pay for it ... his friend crafted it free of charge. Horse did pay for the chainsaw.

Judith Hill -- who's signed to Sony's music label and was a contestant on "The Voice" -- reportedly recorded a new track giving praise to Kim Jong-un while roasting James Franco ... but her people say the story is bogus.

According to Page Six ... Hill originally wrote an ode to James Franco and reportedly submitted it to "The Interview" producers for the soundtrack. But when it didn't make the cut -- and the hacking scandal went down -- she changed the lyrics and the title to "A Love Letter to Kim Jong-un."

Hill was reportedly attempting to mediate peace between North Korea and the U.S. by making K.J.U. the object of her affection in the song. Some choice lyrics:

- "You got me transcending heaven, so don't be confused ... James Franco ain't got nothing on you."

- "I could wait here 127 hours ... it's true ... there's only Oscar and baby it goes to you."

Hill was reportedly signed to Sony last year ... and is best known for performing with Michael Jackson in the movie "This Is It." She placed in the top 8 on "The Voice."

A rep for Hill tells us they did NOT submit the track to "The Interview" producers ... it was requested of them by a Sony A&R rep. She also says the song is not putting James Franco down.

The rep also claims she was not attempting to mediate peace ... and never changed the lyrics or title. The rep says it was simply a parody version of her song.

Bruce Jenner and his boys could be battling the Kardashians for TV ratings -- multiple production companies are interested in inking a deal with Bruce and his clan to do their own show.

Sources close to the situation tell us most of the offers involve shooting, ironically, Kardashian-style -- following Bruce and his 3 sons while they race cars, travel, and just generally bro out. Think "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" ... with a bit more testosterone.

No deal's been signed yet. As we've previously reported, Bruce has soured on shooting reality TV. However, we're told he'd be game for a new opportunity -- where Kris Jenner is NOT the executive producer ... like she is on 'KUWTK.'

Bruce is still under contract on that show, so if a Jenner project takes off ... he'd probably have to fight to get out of his E! contract.
