Is Clemens Ready for His "Moment of Truth"?
The most popular new show on television is giving former Yankee pitcher Roger Clemens a chance to clear his good name -- and he can pocket a cool half mil in the process!
The FOX show "The Moment of Truth" -- which premiered to 23 million people on Wednesday -- sent a letter to the Rocket's manager, asking Roger to appear. Contestants on the show are asked a series of questions while hooked up to a polygraph machine -- and then have to own up to their answers in front of an audience comprised of their friends and relatives.
Howard Schultz, creator and Exec. Producer of the show, says Roger can put the steroids question to rest once and for all -- and donate his winnings to the charity of his choice. Schultz writes, "People have stood in awe at your incredible accomplishments in baseball. This show could let the world know that you are an incredibly courageous person, as well as to clear your name in front of a nationwide audience, all in the name of charity."
Calls to Clemens' management were not immediately returned.
Basketball Star Bounced from Nightclub!
You'd figure Sacramento Kings star Ron Artest would appreciate a solid defense, but last night the NBA star was a little pissy when some shrimpy bouncer shut down the 6'7" baller on his way into Villa nightclub. Reeeeeejected!
After a failed attempt with the manager to shmooze his way in, Artest left, and did the Tara Reid walk of shame.
Cryer to TMZ: Eat Crow!
TMZ made fun of Jon Cryer for picking the Giants to beat the Packers on Sunday, and Jon wants us to know that he knows we screwed the pooch on that one.
We posted this video of Jon proclaiming his love for the Giants with the headline "Jon Cryer in for Giant Letdown?" So when the Giants pulled off the overtime win, we got an e-mail from "Jon Cryer," rubbing it in. He wrote, "Ha HAAAA!!! Go Giants!!! I called it."
We get a lot of mail, so we checked, and it really was Jon who e-mailed us! He wrote us again to say, "Yes it's me ... Go BIG BLUE!!!! The Patriots are only favored by 13 points!! It'll be a walk in the park."
Never go against Jon Cryer.

Cops on Foot Patrol for Tom Brady
Tom Brady and his "busted foot" caused a major scene outside Gisele Bundchen's NYC apartment yesterday -- and cops had to come when photogs got too close to their stoop.
Paps and press have been swarming the apartment since TMZ caught Brady leaving Gisele's place with a foot cast Monday afternoon. There was no cast when our cameras caught him twice yesterday, and -- sorry Giants fans -- barely a hint of a limp.

Brady -- Maimed or Messin' with Heads?
TMZ just caught Tom Brady and Gisele emerging from their downtown lair in NYC, and guess what -- he's not wearing that walking cast!
He also looked pretty comfortable amblin' around, which raises the question: Could the whole Castgate have been a ruse to throw off the New York Giants as they prepare for the Super Bowl?
Remember, earlier this season the Patriots got caught spying on their opponents' signals. This team knows how to play head games!
Brady Broken?!
He ain't so perfect after all!
TMZ shot exclusive video of Super Bowl bound QB Tom Brady wearing some sort of cast on his right foot and limping to the doorway of Gisele's doorway in NYC earlier today! This is a big deal! Even ESPN.com says so! Maybe the Giants do have a chance!?!

Just as Vegas shifted the odds on the big game, a seemingly broken Tom Brady looked good as new during a dinner date with his supermodel GF Gisele Bunchen last night in Manhattan. It's a miracle?
Cameras caught the Super Bowl bound quarterback strolling out of Butter -- without the walking cast he was wearing earlier in the day! Is he healed already -- or just really, really tough?!
