Jessica Simpson -- Tony's Teammate's a 'Hottie'
Just when Dallas Cowboys fans were moving on from that whole Yoko Romo curse thing, Jessica Simpson has her eyes set on Tony's teammate -- wide-receiver Miles Austin.
We got Jess out in NYC last night, where she said she thought her ex's Vegas wingman was a "hottie."
Austin has been scoring like crazy this season -- but if you believe in curses, this is one end zone he might wanna stay away from!

Tiger Woods' Wife Asked for Help
Tiger Woods' neighbors -- the ones who made the 911 call -- just hired lawyers to talk to the media ... and one of them just offered up new details about what happened after the crash.
Attorney Bill Sharpe said the Adams family was awake when the crash occurred -- and that they were surprised, obviously, when they discovered it was Tiger lying on the ground outside their house.
Sharpe said Tiger's wife Elin asked them for help -- which is why they called 911. The lawyer said they gave Tiger a pillow and a blanket while they waited for an ambulance.
Sharpe said the family told him there were no indications the Woods were fighting that night -- and Elin was very concerned for Tiger's safety.
The next guy, attorney Christian Conrad, wasn't as forthcoming ... reading a brief statement about how the Adams family want to remain good neighbors by shutting their traps about what happened ... and want to be left alone.
Tiger Woods -- Bloodless Clues
Tiger Woods did not bleed in the vehicle he crashed Friday morning -- not a single drop -- according to law enforcement sources.
Cops from the Windermere PD, who first responded on scene, observed Tiger's lower lip split open and we're told he had other marks as well. But TMZ sources say there was absolutely no blood in the SUV.
What's more -- we've learned Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, told Windermere cops she smashed the back passenger window with the golf club, then unlocked the driver's door and dragged Tiger out. Yet there were no traces of blood.
This has created even more suspicion with law enforcement ... that Tiger's wounds may have not been the result of SUV meets fire hydrant.
We're told the Florida Highway Patrol has been frustrated by attempts to secure video of the accident. Even though we know there were surveillance cameras on Tiger's property, his lawyer isn't making video available. The people who manage the gated community have said they have no video of the crash.
As we first reported, the FHP sent troopers to the hospital where Tiger was treated yesterday in an attempt to secure medical records, which could unlock the mystery of how Tiger was injured. We're told, so far no luck. Although an FHP spokesperson has said the department has not asked for a search warrant to obtain medical records, we know they are pursuing that route.
As for what charges could be filed -- there are two possibilities on the table. The main focus now is Tiger's injuries. If the injuries have the markers of a domestic dispute, we're told Tiger's wife would almost certainly be arrested.
As for Tiger, troopers are looking at whether he was driving under the influence. As we have already reported, the paramedics on the scene saw that Tiger was unresponsive and asked Elin if he was taking any meds. She went inside, retrieved two prescription bottles and gave them to paramedics. Elin said she did not know when Tiger had last taken the meds. We already reported Tiger had told a friend he was taking prescription pain meds.
But in Florida, it's almost impossible to charge someone with DUI unless someone actually sees the suspect behind the wheel, driving the vehicle. No one has come forward saying they saw Tiger driving.

Florida Gators Star Busted for DUI
One of the most valuable players on the Florida Gator football team was arrested last night for DUI -- don't worry, it wasn't Tim Tebow.
Gainesville PD busted defensive superstar Carlos Dunlap early this morning when they saw his car stopped at an intersection -- while the light was green. When the officer approached the car, he found Dunlap asleep, slumped over the wheel of his car.
Dunlap -- who was the defensive MVP of last year's national championship game -- failed a field sobriety test, refused to take a breath test and was hauled into the station where he was booked.
The arrest comes just days before the Gators take on number two Alabama in the SEC championship. No decision has been announced about whether Dunlap will play in the game.
UPDATE: Florida coach Urban Meyer says Dunlap, and his team-leading seven sacks, will not play in the SEC championship. 'Bama nation rejoice.
Dwight Howard Blocks Out His Baby Mama
You'll never hear a negative word said about Dwight Howard by his baby mama ... because according to a judge, she's not even allowed to speak his name.
According to documents filed in Florida, the Orlando Magic superstar went to war in October with Royce Lyndsay Reed -- the mother of his 2-year-old son -- after she allegedly called him a deadbeat dad on her blog, Twitter and even during an ESPN interview.
Dwight also alleges Royce "is attempting to become a celebrity" from being his baby mama ... even agreeing to "participate in a VH1 television show called 'NBA Wives.'"
Dwight ended up winning a permanent injunction against Royce -- and according to the documents, she's banned from "using or publishing (orally, in writing, or otherwise), directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness."
That finely manicured line of lawyerspeak makes it damn near impossible for Royce to appear on "Wives" ... unless she calls herself the baby mama of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Yeah, that was a Harry Potter reference. What?

Eyewitness Account Tiger Woods' Accident
TMZ now has an eyewitness account of what happened immediately following Tiger Woods' car accident.
According to a witness, Tiger had a cut on his lower lip when emergency responders and witnesses arrived. The wound was bloody.
Tiger was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and no shoes. It's illegal in Florida to drive without shoes.
Tiger was lying on the ground unconscious when EMT workers arrived. They used "pain stimulus" -- a method where pressure is applied on an unconscious person to make them alert -- but Tiger only briefly opened his eyes and then lost consciousness.
We're told EMTs asked Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, if Tiger was taking any medications. She went in the house and brought out two pill bottles. She said she did not know when he had last taken the meds.
Elin was extremely upset and was told twice by paramedics to stand back while they tended to her husband.

Obama Crasher Penetrated Redskins Defense
The chick who famously sneaked her way into a White House party last week had some prior experience in the field -- FedEx field ... as in the home of the Washington Redskins.
TMZ has obtained photos of Michaele Salahi posing as a Redskins cheerleader during a halftime event in 2005.
Salahi had told people she was a member of the squad back in the '90s, but team officials have no record proving her claim.
However, these photos make it clear she was successful at passing herself off as one -- because the event she crashed was to honor Redskins cheerleader alumni.
We're told Michaele and her husband, fellow crasher Tareq Salahi, had a private box at the stadium and invited some of the cheerleaders back to the their seats to hang out after the halftime performance.
Troopers Make Hospital Visit Over Tiger Woods
TMZ has learned two Florida Highway Patrol troopers paid a visit today to the hospital where Tiger Woods was transported early Friday morning.
Witnesses at the hospital say the troopers were looking for information related to Woods' visit.
An FHP spokesperson has just said the department has not sought a search warrant for Tiger's medical records associated with his treatment. However, as TMZ first reported, the department is pursuing a warrant -- though it has not formally sought one out -- after being shut down by Tiger's lawyer.
The FHP wants to know if Tiger's wounds were the result of the SUV accident or a domestic dispute with his wife, Elin Nordegren.
We do not know if the troopers obtained medical information from hospital personnel. We do know the troopers have left the hospital.

Cops Pursue Warrant in Woods Case
Sources tell TMZ the Florida Highway Patrol is now focusing on obtaining a search warrant -- allowing them to seize medical records from the hospital that treated Tiger Woods -- in an attempt to determine if the wounds Woods sustained are consistent with a car accident or domestic violence.
We're told authorities believe they can show probable cause a crime was committed, a necessary step in obtaining a warrant.
One big piece of evidence showing probable cause ... sources tell us Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren told FHP troopers she went looking for Tiger in a golf cart, came upon the accident and then used a golf club to break the window to gain entry. That's a very different story from what she first told Windemere cops shortly after the accident -- she never mentioned a golf cart. Nordegren told Windemere police she had walked out of her house, saw the crash, went back inside to get a golf club and returned to the vehicle.
TMZ has reviewed 21 photos from the scene -- no sign of any golf cart. But we just found another photo (below) from the scene, where you can see a golf cart in the foreground.
And there's more ... although alcohol was not involved, Tiger was in and out of consciousness and TMZ has already reported Tiger told a friend he was taking prescription meds for pain, which could be evidence of DUI. This, too, could constitute probable cause to obtain a warrant.
We're told the FHP is pursuing the search warrant option after getting shut down again Sunday in an attempt to interview Tiger and Elin and eyeball Tiger's wounds.
As we first reported, according to sources, Tiger told a friend Elin had attacked him after she confronted him with reported allegations he had cheated on her. We're told Tiger told the friend Elin then followed him out of the house and struck the moving vehicle with the golf club, causing him to get distracted and hit the hydrant.
If the FHP determines Elin attacked Tiger, we're told she could be arrested for domestic violence.

Serena Fined for Dropping F-Bombs on Judge
Serena Williams must now put her money where her foul mouth is. She's just been fined a record amount of cash for going ballistic on a line judge at the U.S. Open back in September.
A Grand Slam official announced that Serena was fined $82,500 and will be placed on a "probationary period" for the next four Grand Slam events ... meaning if she blasts off again, she could get barred from the next U.S. Open tournament and fined $175,000.
Serena's fine is almost twice as much as the last person to hold the record for highest Grand Slam fine -- Jeff Tarango had to fork over $48k for telling an umpire to "shut up" after a call back in 1995. Oh, Jeff's wife also slapped the umpire in the face. Good times...
Serena went all John McEnroe at the Open on September 12 when the line judge called her out for a foot fault -- check out our video of the incident -- which ended up costing the 11-time Grand Slam singles champion the match.
