Jordan Belfort -- aka "The Wolf of Wall Street" -- is issuing a stern warning as YOLO fever once again shakes the market via meme stocks ... telling GameStop-ers to invest wisely.

Here's the deal... shares for GameStop and AMC skyrocketed in the past few days as traders jumped on the wild meme stock ride anew ... all because of a single X post from the dude who kicked it all off in the first place back in 2021 ... Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty.

As TMZ reported, the viral day trader whipped everyone into a frenzy again just by posting memes after silence for years ... and while everyone's excited, JB's offering up caution.

Another wild Wednesday for TMZ ... and we've got a bunch of clips for you to check out. See the best from our TV shows.

On "TMZ Live," Jacob and Charles discuss major shakeups at Kanye West's company Yeezy including parting ways with his Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos.

It took years, but Rusell Wilson and Ciara are officially done with Seattle ... the A-list couple finally closed on their massive, waterfront property, and their bank account's $31 million fatter!

The 11,104 square-foot mansion, built in 2007 and just 10 miles from Lumen Stadium (where the Seahawks play), officially closed this week for $21.25 million ... after it was originally listed for a whopping $28,000,000.

The superstar athlete and singer opted to knock down the price, and they ultimately found a buyer.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's charitable foundation is no longer on Cali's s*** list -- 'cause it ain't delinquent anymore, and it sounds like it never should've been to begin with.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell foundation has officially been changed from delinquent to "current" on the State of California's charities page -- a 180 that seems to have happened overnight ... which, as we've learned, is the result of mistake on the state's part.

As it turns out ... Harry and Meghan's org was never actually delinquent -- as sources with direct knowledge tell us the payments that were owed in association with renewal fees had, in fact, been paid way back in November ... amounting to $200.

The last pair of trousers Tom Brady ever wore in an NFL game are up for grabs -- the super-rare piece of history has hit the auction block ... and could fetch a TON of money!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the uniform pants TB12 wore during Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2023 NFC Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys have been made available via Grey Flannel Auctions ... with bidding starting May 20.

The opening bid is $10k ... but considering the GOAT's jersey from the same game fetched $1.4 million last year, it's safe to say these slacks are gonna sell for a pretty penny.

The man who could've potentially turned a hundred bucks into a whopping $1.7 MILLION on one bet is taking the guaranteed money and running ... cashing out of his viral championship-winner parlay at $80,900.

Wayne Shelton became internet famous over the past few weeks ... after it was revealed he was an Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Finals title away from becoming a millionaire thanks to a three-leg parlay he placed last year -- when he picked OKC, the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Chiefs to win their respective championships at +1143000 odds (with 50% boost).

Of course, the Rangers and Chiefs did their part ... leaving Shelton one leg away from a MASSIVE payday -- but with each Thunder win and loss in the 2024 playoffs, his cashout option fluctuated like crazy.

Rudy Gobert apparently didn't learn the first time around -- the Minnesota Timberwolves Defensive Player of the Year was fined AGAIN for making a money gesture toward officials during a game ... this time, getting hit with a $75k punishment.

Gobert was clearly upset with calls during the Wolves' Game 4 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday ... and an offensive foul late in the fourth quarter led the 31-year-old to throw up another money gesture -- implying the refs were influenced by sports betting.

The league announced the consequences on Tuesday ... saying Gobert was fined 75 racks for making an "inappropriate and unprofessional gesture that questions the league and its game officials."

Fiona Harvey is eyeing a big payday from Piers Morgan ... this after allegedly being paid chump change for her now-viral interview all about "Baby Reindeer."

The real-life inspiration behind Netflix's new hit series told Daily Record she's hoping for a seven-figure payout after claiming to have only received about $313 for the sit-down seen round-the-world ... in which Fiona suggested Richard Gadd had defamed her in his show.

She says ... "I asked if that was what they paid everyone and, if so, I wanted to see documentation to that effect. That documentation has not been forthcoming. I have not signed a contract for the interview and I will be seeking far more than a piddling £250."

GameStop stock soared to 110% Monday ... all thanks to a cryptic social media return from viral day trader Roaring Kitty -- who memorably caused this to happen a few years ago.

The internet personality -- whose real name is Keith Gill -- hinted he's stepping back into the public eye after almost 3 years away ... by posting an eyebrow-raising meme on X late Sunday.

The post in question ... RK shared a photo of a man leaning forward in a chair holding a video game controller ... providing no caption as an explanation. It's a well-known meme -- and it just means that someone's ready to get serious ... presumably, Kitty is too.

Sylvester Stallone is about to score a massive payday after putting his watch collection up for auction, because one of the timepieces could fetch a literal king's ransom.

As you might have heard, the 'Rocky' star is selling 11 watches from his personal collection through Sotheby's next month ... and one crown jewel, in particular, has a watch expert going bonkers 'cause it's incredibly rare (and damn expensive).

YouTube personality Nico Leonard van der Horst -- who knows all things watches -- tells TMZ ... he simply can't believe Sly is parting with his ultra-rare Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.

Tyrese's legal woes appear to be following him wherever he goes, but he dodged a bullet out in Georgia this past weekend ... bailing on a concert after someone tried serving him.

A video making the rounds online shows the singer serenading a crowd at the Stockbridge Amphitheater a couple days ago ... when a security guard attendant appears to whisper something in his ear while he's in the middle of performing.

Tyrese keeps singing for a bit before abruptly jumping down from the stage and booking it up the side steps towards the exit, telling the crowd he loves them (and continuing to sing!)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charitable org has hit a snag -- being declared delinquent by the state of California, but there's a perfectly good explanation ... snail mail.

Here's the deal ... the Archewell Foundation was found to be "delinquent" this week on paying its renewal fees -- and it's technically barred from fundraising until that gets fixed. On its face, it sounded like the charity wasn't taking care of business ... but that's not quite the case.

We're told the reason Archewell was able to hit this not-so-great status is because a check to pay for these registration fees was simply never received, although we hear it was sent.

Kendrick Lamar dropping "Not Like Us" at the height of his battle with Drake sealed the deal for his victory ... and the numbers speak to his big win!!!

On Monday, Billboard unveiled the new Hot 100, with "Not Like Us" leading the charge and his other Drake disses, "Euphoria" and "Like That" (with Future and Metro Boomin), ranked at #3 and #6, respectively.

Taylor Swift is officially laying claim to a nickname for a new part of her "Eras" tour -- and while it remains to be seen if it'll amount to anything ... she's at least locking down the rights.

The singer filed a trademark application last week -- and it touches on something she shouted out this weekend during her Paris stint ... namely, 'Female Rage: The Musical.'

In documents obtained by TMZ ... TAS Rights Management -- a company owned by Taylor -- filed paperwork to trademark the phrase ... which, as the singer explained on social media Sunday, was the theme of her newly added "Tortured Poets Department" set.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are on their way to Connecticut for the WNBA season opener, and the women are traveling in style -- ditching the commercial flights for a charter -- and they couldn't be more HYPED!

Of course, the WNBA announced last week that they were scrapping regular commercial flights, instead revealing the hoopers would now travel on a plane exclusively for the squad this upcoming season.

The Fever are set to open the season on Tuesday against the Sun ... and Erica Wheeler -- who signed with the Fever in 2023 -- couldn't help but show off the new mode of transportation on social media.

Watch out, Nike ... Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand is continuing to make a splash in the sports world ... this time by partnering up with the WNBA, and tapping some of the league's best and most popular players, including Kelsey Plum and Candace Parker, to model the undies!

"I’m proud to launch this new WNBA campaign starring such an incredible cast of athletes," Kardashian said on Monday. "Championing women and women in sports is incredibly important to SKIMS."

Kardashian hired some of the best female hoopers for the campaign ... Plum, a 2x WNBA champ, retired WNBA legend Parker, and 6x WNBA All-Star Skylar Diggins-Smith.
