Tony made his way through LAX on Sunday after spending the weekend with Jess on the left coast. While TMZ got the first video of the couple as they left Love Field in Texas on a private jet over the weekend, it looks like Tony was forced to fly commercial without her.

Just six weeks ago, Tony signed a $67.5 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Loosen the purse strings a little, will ya?

Brittany Spears (second from left) is a freshman from Pasadena, Calif. and the second leading scorer for the team at 13.3 points per game. Whitney Houston (far right), a sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., is a backup point guard.

But they were distinctly divergent this weekend in New York, when TMZ spotted Jeter filming a spot for Gatorade's new lo-cal G2 energy drink, and A-Rod getting his morning paper from a local newsstand. While Jeter gabbed and signed for everyone in sight, A-Rod kept his distance, though oddly enough, so did fans. Aloof, party of one!

Daisy Duke and the Dallas Cowboy hitched a ride on a jet at Love Field in Dallas late last night and headed to Hollywood. They landed within shooting distance -- at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.

They've gone out of their way to avoid being seen together, and up to now they've pulled it off. They reportedly spent Thanksgiving dinner together with a turkey bigger than Britney's "Blackout" CD.

Tony's Cowboys beat the Packers on Thursday night -- thus, no game for him on Sunday. Will Jessica play receiver? Stay tuned.

Miami-Dade Police Department spokeswoman Linda O'Brien identified the men as: Eric Rivera Jr., 17, Venjah K. Hunte, 20, Jason Scott Mitchell, 19 and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18.

Miami-Dade County Police Director Robert Parker said the suspects didn't expect Taylor to be home when they broke into his home Monday morning. The NFL Pro Bowler surprised them and was fatally shot. The suspects -- all of whom have prior arrests -- are expected to make their first appearance in a Fort Myers courtroom sometime today.

Denver Nugget star Carmelo Anthony threw a bash in Hollywood to debut the latest installment of his new signature shoe line the Jordan Melo M4. The event attracted a large crowd of celebs, athletes and starry-eyed gold diggers fans.

Let's play ball!

Garcia tells the Miami Herald that Taylor's "heroic action" saved Jackie and daughter, also named Jackie, and called the incident "a testament to his humanity and courage." Taylor was shot when he grabbed a machete to confront an intruder, while Jackie Garcia reportedly hid in the bedroom with the 18-month-old baby. Until now, Andy and his family had not given any public comment on the killing.

"We will always remember him as a caring and loving individual, especially to his new family," says Andy. The couple met at Gulliver Prep School in Miami-Dade county.

"Shot in the leg and died," he asked our cameraman. "Where the hell was the ambulance? Flavor Flav was real when he said 911 was a joke."

Then, just like a pre-skankified Flav would have done, Rampage got racial. "Black folks, when you get in trouble [and you] call 911, please sound white when you call ... We all sound white when we need to."

Tough words from a tough man.

In the lawsuit, filed in Hillsborough County, Fla. and obtained by TMZ, several management and venture capital groups claim Oren Koules ("Saw" dude) broke an agreement by contacting and eventually purchasing the team -- without discussing it with the VCGroup -- which he was partnered with. Slapshot!

Sean Taylor, the Washington Redskins safety who was shot early Monday at his home in Miami, has died, according to a family friend. He was just 24.

The Pro Bowl safety had taken a bullet in his upper leg, reports the AP, damaging an artery, causing serious blood loss and loss of consciousness. According to his former lawyer, Richard Sharpstein, Taylor seemed to show signs of recovery when he squeezed a nurse's hand late Monday night, but never regained consciousness thereafter.

Washington Redskins Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor was shot in his home and has been airlifted to a local hospital where he is in critical condition, police said today.

"It could have been a possible burglary, it could have been a possible robbery," Lt. Nancy Perez said. "It has not been confirmed as yet."

Local authorities were called to Taylor's Florida home at 1:45 AM today. The Miami Herald is reporting paramedics found Taylor with a gunshot wound to the groin. ABC-TV 10 in Miami says a family friend told them that Taylor was shot twice.

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Rodman's manager, Darren Prince, says, "Security was watching the whole incident and apparently did nothing. The hotel knows Dennis very well, and if they felt this woman was in harm's way, then why didn't they do anything about it? And waiting a year and a half is very peculiar. Anyone that knows Dennis knows that he would never hurt or harm anyone."

What could possibly stand in her way?

Kristi says that her fear of being judged and live audiences "make her really nervous." Huh?! You'd think that someone who made a career performing live and being judged would have an edge up, but apparently for Kristi -- that's not the case.

Dressed ready for nuclear winter, the 30-year-old Olympic gold medalist was snapped in NYC on Saturday -- looking like the illegitimate spawn of a nouveau riche Moscow streetwalker and Grimace!

The entire ramifications from the fallout of this disaster are unknown, but persons nearby already experienced nausea.

Dog lover Michael Vick has surrendered to U.S. Marshals three weeks before his formal sentencing was to take place.

ESPN is reporting that the former Atlanta Falcons star made arrangements with the U.S. Marshal Service to turn himself in today to begin serving his sentence -- meaning whatever sentence the judge hands down on December 10 could potentially end earlier.
