As you may recall, the alleged incident went down in Costa Rica during Tom and Gisele's wedding -- two photogs (both from Costa Rica) claim the security guards threatened them and then opened fire. The photogs wanted more than $1 million in damages.

But today, a judge decided that the NY court, "does not have personal jurisdiction over either of the defendants." The judge added, "Costa Rica is a substantially more convenient forum for the parties' disputes than New York."

Bass and Sanchez hooked up for a karaoke duet at the Canal Room in NYC this past weekend.

The two busted out a version of "Livin' on a Prayer" -- and we're told it was actually pretty good.

Sources close to Alves tell TMZ Pitbull had an angiogram yesterday morning -- a post-operation procedure that took several hours -- but the results were good.

We're told Alves' doctor is currently sending a letter to the New Jersey Boxing Commission declaring him physically fit to fight. Alves has told us in the past that he wants to get back in the ring ASAP.

The two partied it up at Underground nightclub in Chicago on Saturday night -- where the unemployed NFL superstar tried to make an impression on Cutler and his teammate Greg Olsen (not pictured).

TMZ has learned an emergency motion was filed yesterday in Cook County, IL by Siohvaughn's attorney, Marsha Fisher -- requesting she be withdrawn as Siohvaughn's representation in her ongoing divorce battle with the Miami Heat star.

That means Marsha is the NINTH lawyer Siohvaughn has parted ways with in the case.

And just for fun, here's the list of her former attorneys in chronological order (you're welcome): Dorene Marcus, Burton Hochberg, Michael Berger, David Stein, John Rokacz, Rosaire Nottage, Andrew Leinoff, and Michael Bruck.

All except one withdrew from representing her, one was only used for an appeal which was subsequently denied.

As we first reported, Kobe and his wife Vanessa's former maid sued the couple for wrongful discharge, invasion of privacy, emotional distress and unpaid wages. (The lawsuit was crazy It involved dog poop. Read it here.)

We've now gotten a look at the confidential settlement documents which state ... Kobe and Vanessa forked over $200,000 to the maid -- the maid agreed to drop her lawsuit and the Bryants agreed to drop their countersuit.

His wife, Dorca Astacio, told ESPNdeportes.com, "Jose was complaining while sleeping and I just thought he was having a nightmare ... I called the paramedics, but they couldn't help him."

A rep for the L.A. County Coroner tells TMZ the death is now under investigation, but that there are no signs of foul play.

If Lawrence Taylor manages to convince a jury that he merely self-pleasured himself in front of a 16-year-old girl -- he could still wind up as a registered sex offender.

Here's the rub -- aside from the statutory rape charge, LT is accused of patronizing an underage prostitute.

If the jury buys LT's expected argument -- that he masturbated in front of the girl but did not have sex with her -- he would qualify as a sex offender ... and could be forced to register as one.

TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by Evelyn Lozada (ex-fiancée of former NBA star Antoine Walker) in which she claims Vanessa Davis (former wife of NBA star Ricky Davis) smeared her reputation all over the Internet after Davis was "not selected" to be on the reality show.

According to Lozada, Davis took to a gossip blog and called her a "high end prostitute," a "drunkard," and a "hoe ass" -- and even accused Lozada of neglecting her daughter.

But the nastiest part -- Lozada claims Davis hacked into her email and stole topless photos ... which Davis allegedly sent to TheYBF.com.

Lozada claims Davis is out to "ruin her reputation" -- and now she wants Davis to fork over at least $15,000 in damages for all the trouble Davis has allegedly caused. Attempts to reach Davis have been unsuccessful.

Our friends at SpyOnVegas.com shot a pic of the racing legend posed up with a fan.

A former L.A. Kings hockey player-turned-assistant coach was arrested this morning in Washington D.C. for allegedly sexually abusing a 21-year-old woman -- his own daughter.

TMZ has learned 51-year-old Mark Hardy is in police custody after his daughter told cops that Mark "put his hand down [her] shorts and touched her genital area without her permission."

Hardy was arrested at the legendary Mayflower Hotel in D.C. -- where the alleged incident was said to have occurred early this morning. He's set to face a judge later today on the charge of misdemeanor sexual abuse.

Last night, the UFC badass hit the L.A. bar scene -- hard -- and on his way out, dude startin' jokin' around with some cops outside one of the watering holes. Josh thought it would be funny to "borrow" one of their helmets ... but they weren't laughing.
