It's all over a $2 million lawsuit filed by Merriman back in December, in which the San Diego Chargers star claims Tila made a series of horrific -- and untrue -- statements about him in an attempt to ruin his career.

Tila never officially responded to Merriman's suit -- so the court has entered a default judgment against her.

But the decision doesn't mean Tila has to fork over the money just yet -- she will probably move to set aside the default and duke it out in court.

NBA Commissioner David Stern announced today that the two Washington Wizards players have been suspended for the remainder of the season without pay.

Stern released a statement on his decision, claiming "The issue here is not about the legal ownership and possession of guns, either in one's home or elsewhere. It is about possession of guns in the NBA workplace, which will not be tolerated."

Stern noted, "It is not disputed that ... both Mr. Arenas and Mr. Crittenton brought guns to the Verizon Center locker room and ... displayed them to one another in a continuation of their dispute."

Stern claims he met with both players -- and they each expressed remorse. Stern added that both men "have volunteered to engage in community service in order to turn the lessons they have learned into an educational message for others.

Here is Stern's letter in its entirety ... "The NBA has conducted a thorough investigation of events relating to this matter ...

Arenas pled guilty January 15 to one count of carrying a pistol without a license -- a felony.

Arenas will be sentenced March 26.

TMZ has learned Reggie Bush's favorite asset will be hitting the town on Super Bowl weekend in a Vault XXL2 Limousine by Armor Horse -- which is a tank/limo hybrid built with composite ballistic panels and bullet-resistant windows.

And that's not all: Both doors on the limo are fitted with emergency gun ports -- so, whether the limo is rockin' or not ... it's best if you don't come a knockin'.

In a quick press conference at his team's practice facility, the perennially injured Portland Trailblazers star said he was sorry for getting caught with his pants down -- and apologized to "everybody ... Portland, the fans, the organization"

During the presser, Oden said the pics were taken for a "lady friend" over a year-and-a-half ago.

The 22-year-old evangelical Christian will probably keep his man-nips covered when he stars in a very expensive pro-life commercial during the Super Bowl -- a spot that's creating all sorts of controversy.

What's not controversial -- Tebow is ripped.

Question is ...

We kid. Khloe is there because her husband, Lamar Odom, is there with his L.A. Lakers teammates to celebrate their 2009 NBA championship.

Crittenton pled guilty to one misdemeanor in exchange for dropping the other.

Javaris was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and received a $1,000 fine.

A rep for the Wizards released this statement: "The charges filed today against Javaris Crittenton and his subsequent plea represent another disappointing development in what has already been a long and frustrating process for the team, the NBA and, most importantly, our fans. Javaris clearly used very bad judgment in this situation and will now face the consequences of his actions."

Washington Wizards player Javaris Crittenton has been hit with gun charges after the locker room firearms standoff with Gilbert Arenas.

Crittenton has been charged with one misdemeanor count of unlawful possession of a firearm, and one misdemeanor count of attempt to carry a pistol without a license ... this according to the Washington Post.

As we first reported, sources say Crittenton threw the gun he pulled into a laundry bin after the incident and someone wheeled it out before anyone knew what went down.

Cops searched Crittenton's home but, we're told, they did not find a weapon.

Arenas pled guilty earlier this month to one felony count of carrying a pistol without a license, and is due to be sentenced in March.

UPDATE: Crittenton's lawyer says there is a plea deal in place, telling TMZ, "With today's misdemeanor plea to possession of an unregistered firearm, [Crittenton] accepts responsibility for his conduct."

TMZ has learned Khloe -- along with Vanessa Bryant and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers wives -- are currently on a private tour of the White House ... while their husbands are stuck at practice.

We're told the ladies are not expected to meet President Obama yet -- that moment will come later today during a special ceremony honoring the team's 2009 NBA championship.

And the genius himself, Larry Platt, was a surprise guest at a Minnesota Vikings team meeting today to perform the song for the team. Is it too late to bet on the Saints?

Former boxing heavyweight Evander Holyfield is attempting to change up his child support payments -- claiming he's just not pulling in the cash he was 10 years ago.

According to documents filed last month in Cobb County Superior Court in Georgia, Holyfield wants his agreement with ex-wife Janice Itson from 2000 modified because his "income has decreased."

The docs also say he now has other children "for whom he is also responsible to support."

We spoke to Jimmy Blaze -- who runs a wrestling organization called POWW Entertainment -- and he tells TMZ Kovar has already begun his training regimen with the company ... and will start wrestling for POWW in a couple months.

Blaze says the plan is to get the reality star/recovering addict in the big leagues ... starting with a contract with TNA -- Total Nonstop Action Wrestling -- on Spike TV.

The reason for TNA in particular? We're told it's because Hulk Hogan just signed with them -- and the Hulkster is Kovar's biggest hero. Awww.

The ex-girlfriend of Matt Kemp -- the L.A. Dodger who is currently dating R&B star Rihanna -- is lashing out at Kemp's people, claiming they are lying about a relationship that was abusive and threatening.

David D. Diamond, Felisha Terrell's attorney, tells TMZ he's pissed off that Kemp's agent is now saying Terrell lied in her 2008 restraining order application against Kemp.

Terrell claimed Kemp was verbally abusive and threatening, but both sides ultimately agreed to drop the matter.

When news of the restraining surfaced earlier this week, Kemp's agent told one outlet, "She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it based on the fact that the statements made within were false."

Diamond says his client never lied: "The temporary restraining order was granted because of an actual and real threat. The matter was quietly resolved until Mr. Kemp's agent began making false public statements."

Diamond adds, "...my hope is that Ms. Terrell tells her story, because it is a compelling tale of betrayal, abuse and survival."

Calls to Kemp's agent were not returned.
