50 Cent is a financial shadow of his former self … this according to new bankruptcy docs obtained by TMZ.

The mogul claims in the legal docs his bank booty totals $7.4 million. Add to that his real property holdings of around $8.8 million and his total assets are just north of $16 million.  

It’s a breathtaking number, but not in a good way. 50 sold his interest in Vitaminwater for somewhere between $60 million and $100 million. Mind you … that’s just the water. At his peak, 50 was reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars. 

50 has put it out there that he has declared “rich man’s” bankruptcy … and that he’s still rolling in the dough. He’s got more money than most, but compare him to The Game, who deposited more than $13 million in his charity account alone.

It’s one strike and you’re out when it comes to domestic violence … so says the GF of ex-NFL linebacker Keith Mitchell … who says she dumped him after he got violent, despite the fact she’s pregnant with his child.

TMZ Sports broke the story … the former New Orleans Saints linebacker was arrested earlier this month after cops say they noticed a bruise on his GF’s face following a domestic incident.

We spoke with the woman at the center of the incident, Sasha Gradiva (who gave us permission to use her name and image) … and she says there’s no 2nd chance when it comes to violence.

Gradiva says she was shocked by Mitchell’s behavior — considering he’s now a famous yoga instructor and should be able to channel his anger in a non-violent way. 

“It was not an easy choice to call the police,” Gradiva says … “But I don’t think his actions should be tolerated under any condition.”

It’s especially difficult for Sasha since she’s due to give birth any day — and the last thing she wanted was to have to separate with the father of her child — but she felt he gave her no choice.

“I have to think about myself and my daughter … I want her to grow up in a healthy environment.”

We reached out to Mitchell for comment — so far, no word back.

TMZ Sports pop quiz … did you know they actually made a sequel to the 2002 fantasy basketball film “Like Mike“?

We didn’t think so.

Someone who does remember? Shad “Bow Wow” Moss — star of “Like Mike” — who says the direct-to-video “Like Mike 2: Streetball” failed for one HUGE REASON … he wasn’t in it.

Bow Wow was out in L.A. when he threw shade … and when you look at the box office success of the first film … you can’t really disagree with the guy.

Check out the clip.

Looks like someone’s ready to go down …

The premiere episode of Master P‘s new Playboy Radio show “Doin Tha Most” went off with a bang — because P nearly banged his co-host Sassee Cassee, the world’s smallest stripper.

We got video of the taping and let’s just say the sexual chemistry is palpable, and a little uncomfortable — especially when P’s co-host, J Tweezy, starts talking size … and not Sassee’s.

But hey, Master P is single and as Cassee says … once you go small, you never go tall.

Blake Griffin has broken his silence about his broken hand … saying he regrets punching his friend in the face during a dispute in Toronto … and apologizes for “creating a distraction.”

Griffin just issued a statement about the Jan. 23rd incident — saying, “A situation among friends escalated and I regret the way I handled myself towards someone I care about.”

“I want to apologize to the Clippers organization, my teammates and the fans for creating a distraction.

“I am working with the team on a resolution and getting back in the game as soon as possible.”

Griffin reportedly punched the team’s equipment assistant in the face during a dispute at a restaurant. The NBA star broke his hand in the process and underwent surgery that will keep him off the court for 4 to 6 weeks.

Just because Chris Soules didn’t score a wife on “The Bachelor” … doesn’t mean he’s searching for one on FarmersOnly.com — according to a lawsuit he just filed.

Chris says a TV and web commercial for the site — where farmers “don’t have to be lonely” — used his “persona” without his permission. The spot claimed Chris needed the site’s help in the romance department because “he picked a city girl” while he was on a TV show.

Soules picked Whitney Bischoff on ‘Bachelor,’ but they famously broke up after a 6 month engagement.

Here’s the odd thing … the FarmersOnly ad never actually shows Chris’ face, or says his name — it’s just a silhouette of a cowboy over the Hollywood sign, while a spokesman talks about the cowboy’s love problems.

But as Chris says in his lawsuit … he’s “one of the most famous celebrities in the United States” — so he and his attorneys think he’s the lonely cowboy in the FarmersOnly ad.

Chris wants all the money the site made off “his” commercial, plus damages.

Breaking News

Doc Rivers says he does NOT believe alcohol was a factor in the Blake Griffin fist fight … and confirms the NBA star and the man he punched were “good friends” before things got violent. 

Rivers talked to reporters before the Clippers game on Tuesday — and said Blake is learning a hard lesson about how to behave like an adult. 

“We have to learn lessons and sometimes we have to learn it the hard way … and this is one hard way. This is a hard lesson for Blake.”

When asked specifically if the two men were drunk during the fight — Rivers said, “They’re grown men. They’re at the legal age that they can have a drink but I dont think honestly alcohol had anything to do with this.”

So, what triggered the fight? Still seems to be a mystery. 

The Oregon State football team was thiiiis close to playing on top of a MAMMOTH GRAVEYARD … because officials say bones have been found at the site where workers are expanding the stadium! 

School officials say construction workers have dug up an intact femur from a mammoth — as well as bones from other animals — while excavating the site of the Reser Stadium expansion project. 

We’re told archaeologists examined the bones and determined they are at least 10,000 years old!!

Officials say the discovery will not stop the project from moving forward — they have been cleared to continue construction. 

Officials say they’ll be releasing more info on the discovery very soon. Stay tuned …

If Eddie Lacy is on  the fence about training with the P90X guy … this could be the video that pushes him into the “yes” camp. 

We ran into Troy Aikman in NYC — and since he’s a huge fitness enthusiast (not to mention an NFL Hall of Famer) … we asked if P90X could actually do the trick for Lacy, who’s been under fire for being overweight.  

Long story short — Aikman approves in a big way. 

And in case you forgot … Troy is pretty shredded.
