2:20 PM PT -- Wale's current rep tells us the rapper's ex-manager booked the show, and took the money for it. The rep says Wale never saw a dime and the ex-manager never returned the cash.

Wale took a bag of money to headline a concert, but dropped a lotus flower bomb on it when he skipped the show and kept the cash ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Upfront and Personal Global, the promoters who say they hired Wale for a performance in NYC this summer, just filed suit against the D.C. rapper claiming to have paid him $25k with nothing to show for it come the day of.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Upfront shows an alleged signed contract between Wale's camp and the company, plus 2 wire transfers for $12.5k a piece. They claim after Wale bailed on the show, he went radio silent on 'em when asked for a refund.

Now, they want their dough back -- plus interest. We've reached out to Wale for comment ... so far, no word back.

Joe Jonas got pretty handsy with Sophie Turner over the weekend.

The Jonas brother and "Game of Thrones" star looked pretty couple-y checking out the Kings of Leon warm up at the Old Luxor Theater in the Netherlands ... ahead of the MTV European Music Awards.

Good catch.

Reggie Bush's alleged baby mama's saying it loud and clear ... her kid's gonna need a LOT of stuff.

Angelina Jolie is ready and willing to fight Brad Pitt in court over the custody of their children and "until he gets his s**t together" she only wants him to have monitored visitation ... sources connected to Angelina tell TMZ.

TMZ broke the story, Brad filed legal docs Friday, asking for joint custody of the couple's six children. Angelina has drawn a line in the sand, asking for primary physical custody, with Brad getting visitation ... our sources tell us she wants the visits monitored.

Angelina's wish list is basically what she and Brad agreed to temporarily while the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services investigates a confrontation between Brad and Maddox. As we reported, DCFS is looking more broadly at interactions in the family.

Our Angelina sources say she ultimately wants the family repaired so she and Brad can resume a "normal" parenting regime, but until then she will fight hard for sole physical custody. She believes Brad has substance abuse and anger issues that must be addressed.

One Angelina source said this is looking more and more like "War of the Roses redux."

T.I. is absolutely destroying Lil Wayne for his rant against Black Lives Matter ... saying he pulled some "Uncle Tom s***" when he blew off the movement on "Nightline."

T.I. begged his longtime friend to stop embarrassing himself ... "You have to get outta that bubble that you've been living in & get out here & educate yourself on what's going on around US!!!" He offered to educate Wayne on the issues, but added ... "u MUST STOP this buffoonery & coonin' you out here doin."

T.I.'s IG post to Wayne was deeply personal ... reminding him their children grew up together and each looked after the other's families while they were in prison. In fact, T.I. said he was watching the "Nightline" clip and struggling to explain Wayne's comments to his kids.

Shortly after T.I. posted his plea ... Weezy tweeted, "fk ya." Soooo, message not received?

Wayne has sort of apologized for the "Nightline" rant, saying he reacted poorly after Linsey Davis asked him questions about his daughter.

Marisa Miller got burned in court -- the tanning company she was supposed to promote just scored a $1 million verdict against the model and her management company.

TMZ broke the story ... Glissin filed a breach of contract suit against Marisa for stiffing them on a spokesperson deal. They say she never followed through on most of her duties as its brand ambassador, after it paid her $1.8 million.

World class athletes from all sports came to the Big Apple this weekend to run the New York City Marathon -- where they were ALL smoked by that skinny dude from "Catfish."

James Corden isn't always the jolly host he plays on TV ... and that's probably 'cause he can't always get the guests he wants for his sing-along shtick.

We got James leaving Craig's Sunday where he got short and defensive when asked what songs he would have sung with The Rolling Stones for "Carpool Karaoke" -- assuming the rumors he got snubbed by them are true.

Nothing brings warring factions together like a good ol' soccer match -- just ask Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen ... who finally got on the same side to cheer up the Sevilla soccer team.

Steve Wilkos knows polling locations could look like an episode of 'Springer' this year -- with Trump and Clinton supporters so fired up -- but just like his old gig, he's ready for action.

We got the talk show host at LAX and talked about the palpable tension leading up to Tuesday's vote. He agrees America's options might not be the best this time around, but as a former Marine ... he has an interesting perspective on what happens Wednesday morning.

The Game's sexual assault accuser won't get access to his financial records ... now that a judge has shut down her request.

Priscilla Rainey had requested Game's books so she could determine his net worth ahead of the trial, but the judge denied her because she skirted the court's procedural rules. Rainey can refile her request, but she's gonna have to hurry ... the trial's less than 2 weeks away.

Jaime Pressly agreed to settle with her ex-accountant who allegedly screwed her out of almost a million dollars -- for a lot less -- but he says she's now reneging on the deal.

TMZ broke the story ... Pressly sued Daniel Rivero in January 2015 for $900k, claiming he overpaid her landscaper and messed up her taxes. According to the new docs ... the 2 agreed to settle the suit for less than a third of that -- $260k.

Rivero claims this should be a done deal, but there's a big problem ... Pressly won't sign standard paperwork releasing him from further claims. He says she's being unreasonable and it's a "thinly veiled attempt" to renege on the settlement and try to get more money.

Audrina Patridge has grown leaps and bounds from her drama filled days on "The Hills" ... opting for a nice quiet Hawaiian dinner with family and friends before her big wedding day.

Audrina and longtime boyfriend/baby daddy, Corey Bohan, spent Friday night greeting guests and family as they showed up to the St. Regis resort on the island of Kauai. Audrina wore a pretty white dress with a flowery lei.

We're told Audrina and company gathered in the hotel bar lounge after a quick wedding rehearsal -- and instead of Audrina's former reality TV co-stars, the guests appeared to be family, friends, and lots of kids running around.

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall has decided to end his national anthem protest --- and will STAND when the Star Spangled Banner is played for the rest of the season.

Marshall was one of the first NFL players to join Colin Kaepernick's protest -- and said he would be taking a knee during the anthem to "raise awareness for social injustice and to start conversation about what all of us can do to make a positive change."

Marshall explained his decision to call off the protest on Instagram before the Broncos vs. Raiders game Sunday night ... saying:

"Going forward, I will be standing for the National Anthem -- not because everything is perfect, or because I'm changing my stance on things. But because of my hope for what we can become."

"Just because I am standing doesn't mean the work will end. There’s much work to be done. I’ll continue to recognize and support organizations that are stepping up as leaders and making a real difference in our community, and I will do my part to be there for those in need."

Marshall added, "I really appreciate the support from my family, teammates, coaches and fans. I’m grateful for those who have taken the time to hear me out. I’m excited for what all of us can accomplish when we truly work together."

FBI Director James Comey is full of surprises ... after multiple reports the agency would not be able to release its findings on the newly-discovered Hillary Clinton emails, he sent a letter to Congress Sunday saying the FBI has reviewed everything and the conclusions are the same ... i.e., Hillary didn't commit a crime.

Comey told Congress, "Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusion that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton." The FBI director had harsh words for Hillary ... saying she was careless, but the conduct did not rise to the level of a criminal offense.

The new emails surfaced in connection with an investigation into Anthony Weiner, where thousands of Hillary's emails were discovered on his computer. Weiner's estranged wife is Clinton's right hand woman, Huma Abedin.
