Lance Armstrong's Bike FoundStrong

Published | Updated

Lance Armstrong rallied the online community to help him find his stolen bike -- and find it they did.

Lance's stolen Trek bicycle was returned to the Sacramento police by an anonymous citizen yesterday morning. The cops are saying, "The facts surrounding how the person came into possession of the bicycle are not being released at this time due to an ongoing investigation."

Lance advertised the missing bike on Twitter and a group of concerned fans started a Facebook group called "1 Million Citizens Looking for Lance Armstrong's Stolen Bike" -- though it only had 1,282 members. A for effort.

Kimo -- Mug Shots Reveal Self-Destruction

Published | Updated

TMZ has just obtained yesterday's mug shot of former UFC superstar Kimo Leopoldo -- and it's just plain sad.

TMZ has learned Kimo has a history of legal issues besides the drug and stolen property charges he's facing from an arrest in Tustin, Ca yesterday. Back in '93 he was arrested for assault and battery and in '07 he was arrested for domestic violence.

Since then, he's become virtually unrecognizable -- a shell of the former fighting machine he used to be.

Kimo was released from custody early this morning. No word on when he'll be back in court.

Cops: UFC Legend Has Finally Meth His Match

Published | Updated

He's kicked the crap out of all sorts of UFC fighters, but now Kimo Leopoldo is battling a serious drug charge.

TMZ has learned the famously tatted MMA badboy was arrested by Tustin police Monday afternoon after they spotted the 6'3", 235 lb fighter wearing a Long Beach Police Dept. jumpsuit, complete with patches and a cloth badge -- a badge only cops are allowed to wear. The officers -- the real officers -- then searched Kimo's ride, where they claim to have found "a small amount of what is believed to be meth."

Kimo, who famously lost to Royce Gracie in UFC 3, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and is still in police custody. Cops say there will also be an investigation into where the 41-year-old got his hands on the LBPD gear.

No Pot Charges for Phelps

Published

The ridiculously stupid Michael Phelps pot investigation is finally over.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said today he was not going to charge Michael Phelps over that photo of him smoking a bong.

The photo was taken at a party in November when Phelps visited the University of South Carolina. Sheriff Lot defended his investigation by saying, "Michael Phelps is truly an American hero ... but even with his star status, he is still obligated to obey the laws of our state."

Eight other people were arrested in connection with the photo -- seven for possession and one for dealing.

UPDATE -- On his Facebook page, Michael Phelps released this statement: "I'm glad this matter is put to rest. But there are also some important lessons that I've learned. For me, it's all about recognizing that I used bad judgment and it's a mistake I won't make again. For young people especially -- be careful about the decisions you make. One bad decision can really hurt you and the people you care about. I really appreciate the support my family and fans have shown me and now I will move forward and dive back into the pool, having put this whole thing behind me."

Nicole Kidman -- Not Worth Fighting Over

Published | Updated

Tom Cruise and Keith Urban, the former and current husbands of Nicole Kidman, came face-to-face during the driver's meeting today at the Daytona 500, according to TMZ spies.

Cruise, who's at the NASCAR event to drive the race's pace car, and Urban, who's playing a concert at the race, squared off -- you would think to talk about the whole wife swap thing.

But our spies say the country singer and Scientolostar shook hands and had a few laughs -- probably about sharing a bed with Nicole and treating the inevitable frostbite that comes after such a risky move.

The wife of former NBA star Jayson Williams is throwing everything plus the kitchen sink in a new divorce filing -- a sink in which he allegedly urinated in.

Tanya Young Williams claims she's the victim of "cruel and inhumane treatment" and that it's unsafe to live with her hubby anymore.

In divorce papers filed today in New York City and obtained by TMZ, Tanya claims, among other things, Jayson faked suicide and stomach cancer, and told her he was "going down on white girls" (she's Black).

Tanya also claims she found cocaine and condoms in Jayson's drawer. She says he threatened to kill her and once threatened to kill her. She also says Williams repeatedly refilled prescriptions for Cialis, even though they had limited sexual interaction.

And she claims he peed in the sink.

Tanya wants a cut of Jayson's assets, their New York home, sole custody of their two kids, spousal support and other stuff.

Williams is awaiting retrial for allegedly shooting his chauffeur to death.

A rep for Williams could not be reached for comment.

Bon Jovi Sues -- Hands Off My Soul!

Published | Updated

Jon Bon Jovi is accusing someone of trying to sell parts of his "Soul."

A former employee of the Philadelphia Soul -- the 2008 Arena Bowl champs -- is being sued by team owner Bon Jovi and his Arena League Football team for allegedly making his own version of their championship rings and selling them to the general public.

According to a lawsuit filed yesterday, Joe Krause -- a former sales manager for the team -- organized an event at which the rings were for sale. Bon Jovi alleges that the design for the ring, as well as any use of the Soul logo, belongs to him.

JBJ is suing for damages and asking for all the infringing materials to be destroyed.

Side note -- Krause sued the team and Bon Jovi last month for $125K, claiming he still should have gotten paid even though the 2009 Arena Football League season was canceled.
