Kobe Bryant -- Nailed It

Published | Updated

Kobe Bryant's hands and feet are worth millions of dollars -- so it's only right he pampers them every now and again.

Kobe hit up a nail salon in Newport Beach, CA for a little mani-pedi action last Monday -- the day after his Lakers lost a tough game to the Boston Celtics.

To the best of our knowledge, Black Mamba is not a nail polish color.

'Basketball' Wife -- Bouncing Herself Off the Show

Published | Updated

Suzie Ketcham – one of the stars of VH1’s “Basketball Wives” – won’t be returning for a third season … because TMZ has learned, she just couldn’t handle life in the spotlight.

According to a source close to the production, shooting the show was draining and Suzie “couldn’t take the heat" as a reality star anymore -- so Season 2 will be her last.

And the random people constantly trash-talking her on Twitter didn't help either -- we're told by the end of the last season, all the cyber-hate was beginning to take its toll.

Welcome to Hollywood.

Deion Sanders Kids Come Before Hall of Fame

Published | Updated

Deion Sanders showed up to the NFL Hall of Fame induction press conference on Saturday (for which he was the main honoree) wearing a sweatshirt and track pants -- that's because he didn't want to leave a youth football game before it was over.

Deion's team took on a team coached by Snoop Dogg in something called the Snooper Bowl (so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Snoop's team won in a landslide).

We're told Deion got calls early in the morning asking him to show up for the announcement -- but Deion told them the kids came first and he didn't want to disappoint them.

The man they call "Primetime" made it eventually, wearing the same black Under Armour sweatshirt he'd worn all day.

Charlie Sheen -- Super Bowl Party, Minus the Party

Published | Updated

In the pantheon of great parties, a Super Bowl shindig at Charlie Sheen's house would be the most legendary bash imaginable -- but not this year ... TMZ has learned Charlie is playing it low key.

Sources close to the actor tell us there will be no girls, no gambling ... and no booze at the Sheen house this year. We're told Charlie will just hanging with "his team" and watching the game without all the hubbub that usually comes with a Super Bowl party.

And as for rumors there was a party at Sheen's house last night -- we're told it was just the neighbor having a party for his daughter ... and Charlie was actually in bed by 11:00 PM.

Who are you and what have you done with Charlie Sheen?
