The NFL and Ryan Seacrest go together like Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.

Nonetheless, word on the street is, the "Idol" ringmaster will handle pre-game and halftime hosting duties of the Super Bowl on Fox next February. Because nothing says manly man like a guy with frosted highlights. Seacrest out!

Suspended NFL player Adam "Pac Man" Jones -- yeah, the guy who allegedly "made it rain" on strippers before a shootout in a Vegas strip club -- may soon be wrestling with more than just felony charges. Sources close to the star tell TMZ that Pac is just about set to go from the gridiron to the wrestling ring. Intercepted!

The troubled Tennessee Titans cornerback is currently facing felony charges related to a trigger-happy melee at a Vegas strip club in February. The hot-headed Jones is also accused of punching a stripper at the club while she was trying to grab some dough off the stage. Maybe he already knows how to pack a punch! TMZ has confirmed he's on his way to Nashville-based TNA, also known as Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. A source connected with the deal says an official announcement will be made soon. Can ya wait?

NFL stud Matt Leinart has scored himself another high profile job -- but TMZ has learned the pretty boy QB is busting his ass to make sure his new Hollywood gig doesn't interfere with his daddy duties.

A spy on the L.A. set of a new Adam Sandler project has confirmed that Leinart landed an acting role in the untitled flick, featuring "Scary Movie" star Anna Faris. While sources claim Leinart is serious about the part, we're told that he's only shooting on days he's not scheduled to visit his 9-month-old son with baby mama Brynn Cameron, and when he's free from any football obligations with the Arizona Cardinals. But according to Brynn, Leinart's "Hollywood stuff" is taking his focus away from being a good parent, as she complained to the Ventura County Star, "It's kind of hard for me as the mom ... he comes and goes whenever he wants."

When contacted by TMZ, Leinart's rep wouldn't talk about the movie, but assured the Cardinal faithful that "Matt is focused right now on his way to training camp. He has a job to do with the Arizona Cardinals. That's all we have to say about that."

As TMZ first reported, Leinart is embroiled in a nasty legal battle with his Cameron, who is asking for more than $30K a month in child support from the $50 million-contract jock.

He's taken on some of the biggest, baddest men on the planet, but it's his baby mama who's hitting football stud Matt Leinart where it hurts the most -- his wallet!

TMZ has learned that the NFL pretty boy is locked in a raging legal fight with his ex-girlfriend, Brynn Cameron, over the couple's 9-month-old son Cole. According to sources close to the case, Brynn wants Matt to hand over more than $30,000 per month! That's a ton of jack for a 21-year-old living with her parents! According to sources close to the case, Leinart's pissed -- having already bought her a car, as well as voluntarily giving her around six grand a month. Leinart signed a six-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 -- reportedly worth around $51 million.

Brady has a full plate at the moment -- with the impending birth of his child with ex Bridget Moynahan, and romancing his current love, $30-million $upermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Rumor has it that Brady's in Los Angeles today for the birth of his little bundchen of joy.

Legendary rap star and hockey enthusiast Snoop Doggy Dogg dipped into his 'stache stash last night, in an effort to stay under the radar at the Stanley Cup Finals in Anaheim. Somehow, despite the incredibly convincing disguise, he stood out from the crowd.

TMZ spies caught the Heisman Trophy winner putting himself in scoring position with the bombshell brunette dress shop owner at a party this weekend at TAO in Las Vegas. Gotcha!

And get this -- despite weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship -- TMZ has confirmed that Bush & Tush are on like Donkey Kong! Hope Kim's a Saints fan!

The Doggfather is in the OC for the Western Conference Quarterfinals, where the Anaheim Ducks clinched the first-round playoff series in a 4-1 victory in game five against the Minnesota Wild. Puckin' great!

Actor Louis Gossett, Jr. says he's the victim of an identity thief -- and that someone forged his signature to get their hands on a pair of $37,000 Lakers tickets.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Gossett swats away allegations that he took the tickets and didn't pay for them -- and, by the way, he's had his own Lakers seats since the Magic-and-Kareem era!

Gossett tells TMZ that he recalls being offered the Staples Center Premiere seats, which are good for nearly any sporting event at the arena for two years, but denies ever agreeing to take them -- adding that the signature on the "contract" he signed is a fake. What's more, Gossett says he hasn't been served with the lawsuit from L. A. Arena Funding which accuses him of deadbeating on the Premiere Seats, and that he first learned about the suit through the media.

The Oscar winner adds that he doesn't really give a layup about any other team that plays at Staples, other than the Lakers, whom he considers "family," counting Magic as a "good friend."

A Lakers rep confirms that Gossett has been a Lakers fan in good seating for "twenty years," and that he's fully paid up. A call to lawyers for L.A. Arena wasn't returned.

Actor Louis Gossett, Jr. is being slammed for allegedly not paying for a pair of $37,000 Lakers tickets, and now the brass behind the basketball team is crying foul.

In a lawsuit filed recently in Los Angeles Superior Court, the former "Iron Eagle" is accused of signing a 2003 contract for a pair of exclusive Premier Seats at Staples Center -- home to the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers and the NHL's L.A. Kings -- but never forking over the dough. The tickets, located close to the floor, are good for nearly any sporting event at the arena -- for two years!

Now, L.A. Arena Funding, the company that handles ticket sales for Staples Center events, is asking for $38,850 in damages. To put things in perspective -- that's less than 1% of what Kobe Bryant made this year (endorsements not included).

Reps for Gossett had no comment.

Jon Bon Jovi flashed a double bird at the referees at an Arena Football League, after the team he owns gave up a late touchdown -- just as ESPN2 cameras cut to him for a reaction shot. Yeah, that's a reaction all right!

It happened Monday night after Jon's Philadelphia Soul gave up a controversial score late in the game. But it was only controversial because Bon Jovi didn't quite understand what happened, which resulted in his aforementioned gesture. He expressed regret afterwards, saying, "I apologize for the middle-finger thing. I didn't understand the rule. Simple as that."

It's gotta be a drag when your NFL quarterback BF dumps you after three years and takes up with a Victoria's Secret supermodel ... and then you find you're three months preggers. Now Tom Brady says that knocked-up ex Bridget Moynahan is trying to make him "look like a jerk." That shouldn't be tough!

While Tom and Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen (who used to date Leonardo DiCaprio) were vacationing in Paris, Bridget dropped the bomb that she was in the family way ... an out-of-wedlock event which couldn't have pleased Tom's staunchly Catholic family. Apparently, Bridget was trying to embarrass Gisele and make her look bad. That'd be tough!

Reports say that Gisele has never been happier, despite Tom's lil' pigskin slip, and that the two will probably marry. GB and her QB are headed to Milan so G can appear in the D&G show there.

Cee-Lo, half of the Grammy-winning duo Gnarls Barkley, partied it up at JET Nightclub at the Mirage on Monday with his entourage in tow. Our spies tell us he sipped on Patron with about twenty groupies surrounding him. When the DJ decided to put on his hit song, "Crazy," Cee-Lo grabbed the mic to belt out the song to the packed room.

The relationship is over, but the drama has just begun -- and it looks like Cameron Diaz is hooking up to make Justin Timberlake jealous.

According to TMZ spies, Cameron is currently camped out on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii with super surf stud and current ASP World Tour champ Kelly Slater.

We're told the couple shared a romantic oceanfront dinner at Haleiwa Joe's restaurant before heading back to Slater's place. Indeed, we're told Cameron is staying with Slater. The two have been friends for years; Slater even appeared on Cameron's MTV show "Trippin" in 2005.

Other TMZ spies tell us that during the Golden Globes, Cameron kept coming up to Justin's table, trying to engage him in conversation.

Each time she left, a frustrated Justin made it clear he just wanted a clean break.
