Ex-QB Kosar Gettin' Heavy Pocket Pressure
Ex-NFL star Bernie Kosar says that his old biz partner is trying to strongarm him into shelling out over $100K -- by threatening to air his dirty laundry to the press.
And Bernie's getting a heavy rush from the tax man as well: the Miami Herald says that the IRS has filed a $228,000 lien against him on income tax owed for 2006, and he's also delinquent on his 2007 property tax, to the tune of $52K. Kosar is blaming the mailman on that one -- he says he just got the bills after moving.
Meanwhile, the ex-chef and partner in Bernie Kosar's Steakhouse in South Miami, Dan Harri, wants over $140K from Kosar that he says he loaned Bernie in the venture. Kosar says it's the other way around -- and that Harri and his lawyer have "threatened" him with personal revelations if he doesn't pony up.

Kim K: I'm No Yoko Romo
Reggie Bush, his teammates and their wives can't get enough of Kim Kardashian, at least according to sources close to Kim Kardashian.
We're told reports that Kim is pulling diva moves and getting ignored by Reggie down at the Saints' training camp just ain't so. Our spies say Kim was cheering for her muscle man during practice, but Reggie couldn't hear her because everyone else was screaming too. We're told Kim has also ingratiated herself with all the other players' wives and after one of the games, she and Reggie even treated everyone to a screening of "The Dark Knight."
Sorry haters, but Kim is a team player.

Cops Put Paul Pierce on the Foul Line
We've obtained video of Paul Pierce being questioned by Las Vegas police after he was pulled over early this morning.
As we first reported, Paul was pulled over around 3 AM for an illegal lane change. After cops smelled booze coming from his car, they made Pierce take two field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer. Although Pierce registered on the breathalyzer, he did not blow above .08 -- the legal limit.
The fuzz let Pierce go without giving him a citation. He left his car and took a cab home.

Cops Say Paul Pierce Not Drunk Enough
Now we're learning cops believed Boston Celtic Paul Pierce was under the influence of alcohol after stopping him because they smelled alcohol on his breath.
As we first reported, Pierce was pulled over at 3:30 this morning after he was "driving erratically." Cops now tell us he had made an illegal lane change without signaling in his white BMW when officers in a paddy wagon spotted him.
We're told they smelled "alcohol coming from the car." We're also told the breathalyzer showed Pierce had alcohol in his system but was below .08, which means you're legally drunk in Vegas.
The pic shows Pierce at the scene.
As for why he wasn't cited for an illegal lane change or erratic driving, cops say it was a minor offense so they let him skate.
