Carrie was cremated but some of her ashes were placed in an urn shaped like a giant Prozac pill next to her mother.

Published | Updated

Future is so reckless with his money he won't be able to pay off the debt he owes his ex-label owner, Rocko ... according to Rocko, anyway, who wants a judge to protect the money.

Future's ex-pal and producer filed docs asking the court to force Future to put his salary from the upcoming Nobody Safe tour in escrow. Rocko claims Future is set to make upward of $5 million ... and he wants some of that set aside to cover the $10 mil he's planning to win from Future.

We broke the story, Rocko sued Future for a cut of his lucrative deal with Epic Records. Future countersued, claiming he didn't have an exclusive deal with Rocko.

Mask off? Rocko says Future's gonna squander his money if the court doesn't force him to save it.

David Geffen Sells Mega-Malibu Estate For a Record $85 MILLION!!!

Published | Updated

Multi-media mogul David Geffen is one day away from selling his Malibu compound and breaking a record for the most expensive single residential transaction in Malibu history ... TMZ has learned.

Our real estate sources say the movie/music/political influencer will pocket $85 MILLION in the sale that closes Tuesday.

The oceanside estate sits on 5 lots and has 5 separate buildings, including the main residence and 2 guest houses. It has a pool, theater, gym and on and on.

The buyer is a financial guy, which makes sense. The area is called Billionaire's Beach. It used to be riddled with celebs, including Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, Courteney Cox and many others, but it got too rich for the blood of just about everyone but the titans of industry.

As for Geffen, we're told he's selling because he now spends most of his time on his ridiculously amazing yacht and his NYC apartment.

Kurt Rappaport is repping both the buyer and seller. He didn't return our calls, but the only thing we wanted to ask ... what's it like getting a commission like that?

The Game Sues Viacom for $20 Mil You Gotta Pay My Sexual Assault Accuser

Published | Updated

The Game says Viacom should cover the $7.1 million owed to his sexual assault accuser, because it cast a violent criminal on his reality show, despite a doctor recommending she get the boot.

The rapper's going after the parent company of VH1, which he says cast Priscilla Rainey on "She's Got Game." In docs, he says a doctor working on the production cited Rainey's long rap sheet -- which includes multiple felony arrests for aggravated battery.

According to the suit, the doctor said ... "In moments of jealousy, [Rainey's] normal composure dissolves, leaving her to acting out of control."

Game says the show thought Rainey would add a spark -- aka ratings -- so it ignored the doctor.

Rainey ultimately was kicked off the show, and shortly after filed a suit against Game alleging he sexually assaulted her at an off-camera outing. She won a $7.1 million judgment and Game says Viacom should take that hit, plus another $13 mil in damages.

We've reached out to Viacom. No word back.

Kris Jenner Alleged Stalker Arrested at Her Home

Published | Updated

A fired security guard at Kris Jenner's home has been arrested for felony stalking, and we're told it's the 3rd time he's broken into the gated community to get at Kris.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Joshua Jacobs broke the arm at the security gate in the Hidden Hills gated community where Kris lives. He made it to the front of her house when Kris' private security detail pounced on the guy and held him until cops arrived.

We're told Jacobs has repeatedly busted into the development to get at Kris since he was fired from his security job with the gated community.

And our sources say when Jacobs was apprehended cops say he had a sign-in sheet that security uses. They believe he stole it and we're told it's likely he'll also be charged with theft.

As for why Jacobs is so determined to get to Kris ... it's unclear, but clearly scary.

Chris Soules Asks Judge to Dismiss Criminal Charge In Fatal Crash

Published | Updated

Chris Soules says he did everything he was legally required to do at the scene of his fatal accident, and his lawyers have just filed legal docs asking the judge to dismiss the felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident that results in death.

TMZ broke the story ... Chris was arrested and charged with the crime after slamming into a tractor on an Iowa road, killing the driver.

Chris' lawyer says the 911 call is bulletproof against any prosecution, because it shows Chris made the call, ID'd himself as the driver involved in the crash, and then he tried to help the tractor driver by checking his pulse. Only after EMTs arrived did Chris leave the scene.

As we reported ... Chris left before cops arrived and we know the police wanted to administer a field sobriety test. When they caught up with Chris at his home he refused to come out and it took hours to get a search warrant -- by that time any blood alcohol test was essentially useless. Chris' lawyers say drivers aren't required to stay at the scene of an accident until police arrive.

Aaron Hernandez Prosecutors Fight to Keep Murder Conviction

Published | Updated

Prosecutors in Massachusetts don't think Aaron Hernandez should die an innocent man and just filed a motion to stop his murder conviction from being dismissed.

As we previously reported, Hernandez's legal team asked a judge to throw out his 2015 murder conviction citing a Mass. legal doctrine called abatement ab initio -- which means if a person dies while appealing a criminal case, the conviction is thrown out.

However, the Bristol County D.A.'s Office is opposing, saying Hernandez should not be "rewarded" for killing himself, and the abatement law shouldn't be recognized in this case.

In docs, the D.A. says the law is outdated and not recognized in several states. They also claim it's not applicable if someone dies by suicide instead of natural causes.

Further, the D.A. says the dismissal would be disrespectful to the victim's family, and screw up the civil suits pending against Hernandez.

Beyonce & Jay Z Eyes on the Ball ...

Jay Z's ball handling skills are impeccable ... even if Beyonce isn't impressed.

The couple hit up the Jazz-Clippers playoff game Sunday in L.A. and Hova couldn't resist feeling Bey's bump. She wasn't looking so thrilled at the moment, but then again ... she's doing all the heavy lifting.

The 2 have become regulars at Clippers games, but after the Game 7 loss -- the twins will be born into a world where Chris Paul and Blake Griffin's squad still hasn't made it to the NBA Finals.

Or even the Western Conference finals.

Ja Rule's Fyre Festival Bahamas Drops the Hammer ... New Party Rules in Effect

Published | Updated

The Bahamas learned a hard lesson after Ja Rule's Fyre Festival crashed and burned ... and now the government is promising serious policy changes for future island events.

Sources at the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism tell TMZ the agency will be implementing a stricter vetting system for future festivals, and it will check in with organizers multiple times during the planning process.

We're told the only reason the Ministry didn't step in sooner with the Fyre Festival is because it didn't have the authority. It was a private event, so the government couldn't get involved until guests' safety became an issue.

As we first reported, the Fyre disaster could end up costing the island nation millions of dollars -- it's a bad look for a country that relies heavily on tourism. The MOT says organizers for Fyre have taken full responsibility, and going forward ... the Bahamas will take appropriate steps to protect its good name.

Also, not shockingly, we're told Ja and Billy McFarland have been barred from repeat business on the islands.

MOVIN' ON?

Tyga was transfixed by a great ass down in Miami, but he might have to take a hard pass -- because there's already a bf attached to this blonde's butt.

The rapper was out Sunday on his pal David Grutman's boat "The Groot", along with David's model wife, Isabela, and a bunch of other smoking hot chicks -- but Tyga seemed to be vibin' with the blonde in the thong.

Turns out she's Josie Canseco -- Jose's daughter. Last we heard, she has a serious bf, but who knows? Tyga seemed interested ... in a Kylie-rebound kinda way.

Still, our Miami sources say he showed up -- without Josie -- at LIV Nightclub Sunday night. Blac Chyna was there, and we're told they waved at each other ... but that's it.

The rebound will have to wait.

Fyre Festival Ja Rule, Billy McFarland Sued for $100 Mil For Fraud, Lying

Published | Updated

Billy McFarland and Ja Rule defrauded the chumps who plunked down thousands of dollars for the Fyre Festival in the Bahamas, a festival that more resembled "The Hunger Games" or "The Lord of the Flies" than Coachella ... at least that's the take in a new class action lawsuit.

A concertgoer, who's trying to set up a $100 million class action with others, calls the festival a get-rich-quick scam, saying Billy and Ja Rule knew months before the event it was in crash-and-burn mode.

The suit, filed by Mark Geragos, claims Billy and Ja Rule outright lied about the festival's accommodations and safety. It claims people put down between $1,200 and $100,000 a ticket for the event, which left most people who showed up stranded on the island.

The lawsuit takes particular aim at the FEMA tents that were the so-called luxury accommodations. It even alleges wild animals were roaming the festival grounds.

And it gets worse. The suit claims Billy and Ja Rule warned celebs not to attend in advance, knowing it would be a disaster.

Ryan Seacrest Tapped by Kelly Ripa as Co-Host

Published | Updated

Ryan Seacrest is the new co-host of 'Live' with Kelly Ripa ... which means a coast-to-coast move for the former "American Idol" host.

Ripa has been without a co-host for a year, since Michael Strahan bailed for "Good Morning America."

Seacrest has had a long-standing relationship with NBC, so it looks like he's bailing from the Peacock.

We know talks have been in the works for more than a month, and there's no doubt he's making wheelbarrows full of loot.

Unclear if he'll still do stuff for E!.
