Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

Rodman: You Think I Hit? You're Full of S**t
You can accuse Dennis Rodman of doing a lot of things -- because he has -- but he tells TMZ that he's never laid his hands on a soul.
Rodman spoke with TMZ from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. where he is doing outpatient rehab (whatever that is). He read off a laundry list of things he doesn't do -- of course, the stuff he has done ain't bad either.
Rodman was arrested on April 30 on suspicion of felony domestic battery after an incident involving his girlfriend.

NFL Star Popped for DUI at McD's
Seattle Seahawks star Lofa Tatupu was arrested early Saturday morning for DUI after he was pulled over in a McDonald's parking lot. That order is to go!
Tatupu, a three-time Pro Bowler, allegedly failed a breathalyzer test after he blew a .155 and .158 -- nearly twice the legal limit in the state of Washington.
Tatupu just recently signed a new six-year contract worth $40 mil -- so the attorney fees should be covered.
The Seahawks had no comment.
LeBron James Makes an Ass of His Mom
Mother's Day was Sunday, so what better way for LeBron James to follow it up then scream "Sit your ass down!" to his mama last night on national television.
After a Celtic player fouled King James into the courtside seats where his mother was sitting, Mama James got a little hot. Good thing her little boy was there to keep her in check.
BTW, Lebron's team won.

LeBron Not a Cheap Ass After All?
Could LeBron James' whole $10 tip on an $800 meal incident be just a big misunderstanding?
The owner of the XO Prime Steaks, where the whole stingy scene went down, has issued the following statement:
For the record, XO would like to clear up a misunderstanding resulting from a story that appeared in the Cleveland Scene on May 7th...Upon completion of his meal, Mr. James paid his bill with a credit card. Our waiter mistakenly read the receipt, inferring that Mr. James had left him only a $10 tip. To clear up the misunderstanding, Mr. James arranged for an appropriate tip to be delivered to the restaurant for the waiter.

Waiter Calls Foul on LeBron James
Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James recently dined at Cleveland's XO Prime Steaks where he ate like a king, but tipped like a servant.
According to Cleveland Scene, LeBron and a few friends stopped by the restaurant for a late night bite. The group stayed well past closing time, until nearly 4:00 AM, ordering drinks and racking up an $800 bill. When it came time to pay up, LeBron allegedly left a measly $10 tip. Brick!
Maybe LeBron should take a lesson in tipping from Barack Obama.
Calls to LeBron's rep were not returned.

Gisele -- How Much Is Tom's Allowance?
Our photog actually had the stones to ask Gisele what it's like to make 3x more moolah than her BF -- but our guy's math was waaaaaaay off.
According to Forbes, the supermodel takes in $35 million, whereas Brady's salary cap figure with the Patriots is $14.7 mil. Of course, those figures don't take Tom's endorsements -- which hovered around $9 mil for 2007 -- into account.
Also not included: Whatever Gisele pays him to be her errand boy.
