Tiger Woods Banners Fly the Skies ... Again!
Those pesky banners that taunted Tiger Woods at the Masters are set to return today as he tries to win the U.S. Open this afternoon.
The banners -- which had such delightful phrases as "TIGER DID YOU MEAN BOOTYISM" and "SEX ADDICT? YA, RIGHT. SURE. ME TOO!" -- were commissioned by an anonymous person back in April.
Ted from NationalSkyAds.com says he has been hired to fly two banners over Pebble Beach today. The first will say, "TIGER: ARE YOU MY DADDY?" and the second will read, "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TIGER LOL."
Tiger tees off around 2:05 PM PT. He could also tee off at around 2:10 if the banners fly over.

Yankees -- No Ban for Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga wasn't banned from the clubhouse at Yankees Stadium -- but she doesn't have free reign there, either.
Gaga went into the clubhouse after the Yankees lost to the Mets on Friday night and met with Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano. A report in the NY Post said Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner was furious about Gaga being in the clubhouse and banned her for life -- but that's not true, said GM Brian Cashman.
He told reporters, "She's not banned ... Celebrities aren't banned. If Michael Jordan showed up here he would have access [to the clubhouse], but not after a loss."
Even Lady Gaga has to play by the rules.

Lamar Odom and wife Khloe Kardashian didn't board the party train Thursday night after the L.A. Lakers hoisted another championship trophy ... their evening was way sicker than that.

Maybe next year.

TMZ has learned porn star Devon James has just filed a paternity action against Tiger Woods.
Alleged mistress #15 filed legal docs in Manatee County, Florida, asking a judge to determine the paternity of Austin Brinling, her 9-year-old son. James filed the action under her legal name, Melinda Jannette. The respondent on the petition is Elderick [sic] Woods.
According to documents attached to the petition and obtained by TMZ, the legal action is designed to "establish paternity, parental responsibility, time-sharing, and/or child support of a minor child or children."

James does not believe her mother really has any DNA results and her rep tells us she wants to force Tiger to submit to DNA testing.
