Rick Ross I Dropped $230k For the Boss of G-Wagons
Rick Ross just paid the cost to truly be the boss of luxury SUV owners -- snapping up a rare version of the popular G-Wagon that blows away the rest.
Rick traveled to Fort Lauderdale on Monday to purchase a new white Mercedes-Benz G65-Wagon from Euro Motorsport. He was beyond lucky to snag one -- only 65 make it to the U.S. each year, and it's not just some well-to-do soccer mom's ride.
This $230,000 whip comes with a V-12 twin turbo engine, and 630 horsepower that goes from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds! Hell, if it's good enough for the Pope -- who's used this model -- it's good enough for Ricky Rozay.
We're told he dropped some extra cheddar for the two-tone, diamond stitched leather interior.
No biggie for Rick, who's hit up EM's Gene Morales for at least 35 cars in the last decade.
Drake Yeezy Shmeezy ... My Gold Kicks Aren't THAT Pricey
Drake just bought 24 karat gold Air Jordan 10s that put the sneakers in your collection to shame -- and if you're insanely rich ... they come at a bargain.
Drizzy commissioned the shoes a couple months ago and got them last week. We're told reports that the kicks cost $2 million and weigh in at 100 lbs are just plain wrong. Artist Matthew Senna -- who made the shoes -- fetches between $3,500 and $30k a pair. Drake's shoes are on the higher end.
We're told the shoes aren't made entirely from gold. They're a mix of gold and other materials, including parts of real shoe. Each shoe is around 16 inches long and weighs 20 lbs.
Drake's in good gold company ... the artist has made everything from a gold nail bat for Post Malone to a life-size bronze statue of Jadakiss' head. Check it out below ...

Sources tell us JB locked down an entire cinema for himself and about 10 friends to get a private viewing of the #1 movie. It's unclear what size theater Justin secured at the AMC theater in Times Square Monday night -- but it would've cost him somewhere between $750 and $3,000.
And guess who made the cut -- Bieber's ex-gf Chantel Jeffries.
Soooo ... now we know who shared popcorn with Justin.

KFC 'Hillary Special' Is NOT Finger Lickin' Good
KFC is clucking pissed about an anti-Hillary Clinton button comparing her to one of the Colonel's combo meals ... TMZ has learned.
A blatantly insulting pin is making the rounds at the RNC with the slogan, "KFC Hillary Special: 2 Fat Thighs, 2 Small Breasts ... Left Wing."
A KFC spokesperson tells us they had nothing to do with the production of the button, and further ... the company "does not endorse any political candidate and certainly does not support offensive, derogatory portrayals of any person."
Aside from the obvious misogynistic shot at Hillary ... the rep thinks the button also disparages KFC, and is an infringement of its trademark.
KFC isn't ruling out legal action if it can find out who's making the buttons.

Jeremy Irons Gimme Some Volcanic Mud ... IN THE FACE!!
Since you're not Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, you probably get mud mask treatments at a boring spa -- but he has a dude in a Speedo apply his ... while sitting in Italian volcanic ash. Baller!
Irons and his wife, Sinead Cusack, caught a boat ride to Ischia -- a volcanic island off Naples, known for its natural hot springs. While the couple soaked, Irons got the mud literally painted on his face.
Totally affordable ... if you've got the cheddar for an Italian yacht ride.

Ex-RNC Chief Michael Steele Paul Ryan 'So White' Interns Pic ... Yeah, That's a Problem
Michael Steele was RNC Chairperson for 2 years -- and the first African-American in the seat -- so he has a great take on Paul Ryan's whitewashed shot of mostly Republican Capitol Hill interns.
Steele, who lead the RNC from 2009 to 2011, is in Cleveland and our guy, Colin, asked him about the Speaker of the House's group selfie that went viral ... due to its intense lack of diversity.
Check it out -- at first, he claimed there's a "significant number" of interns of color on the Hill, but Steele had not seen Ryan's pic. You gotta see his reaction when we reveal it!
Shoulda put on your shades, Michael.

Kardashians Girls Have Legal Right to Talk Trash On Beauty Company
The Kardashians have every right to trash the beauty company they once promoted, because they got royally stiffed ... this according to a judge no less.
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney were hauled into court by Haven Beauty, which had a deal with the girls to promote its makeup line. The product line was called "Kardashian Beauty" and everything was just fine, until the girls decided to pull the plug on the deal just before the product launch.
The 3 Ks went ham on the company, claiming they had no affiliation with the company anymore and the company was trying to deceive consumers.
Haven wanted $10 million in damages and an injunction muzzling the girls. But the judge just ruled Kim, Khloe and Kourtney had every right to talk trash, because Haven didn't pay them what was owed. So the injunction was denied.
The damages claim is still alive, but based on what the judge did today ... it seems like it's advantage Kardashians.

Katy Perry CoverGirl Sued ... Her Makeup's a Hard Candy Copy
Katy Perry's makeup line is no "Teenage Dream" -- it's a straight ripoff of cosmetic company Hard Candy ... according to Hard Candy, anyway.
The company is suing Procter & Gamble -- the parent company of CoverGirl -- over its KP line of lipsticks, mascaras and other face paints ... which launched earlier this year. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Hard Candy says it's had trademarks for 10 plus years ... and the Katy line is infringing.
It's not spelled out in the lawsuit, but it appears Hard Candy's taking issue with the heart in the middle of CoverGirl's Katy makeup logos -- since that's very similar to its logo.
HC wants Katy's line yanked off shelves, and a cut of profits made since the Spring launch.
