Kris Humphries hasn't burned ALL of his Kardashian bridges -- it seems he still has a friend in Khloe ... who insists her sister's estranged husband is a "good guy."

Khloe was leaving La Scala in Beverly Hills yesterday when we asked how she felt about Kris' extortion case with his ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj.

Khloe -- who seemed pretty concerned about Humphries -- replied, "Well, that shouldn't happen to anyone ... Kris is a good guy."

We asked Khloe if she thought Kris and Myla really had a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship ... Khloe shot back, "I don't know who [Kris is] f**king, it's just not my sister, that's all I know."

Kim Kardashian has just served Kris Humphries' ex-girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj, with a subpoena in the divorce case ... TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, Myla was in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with Kris since mid-January -- something Kris was desperately trying to hide ... to the point his people lied about the relationship.

As for why Kris wanted to cover it up ... sources tell us Kris and his lawyer were worried it would have an impact on the divorce case. We know Kris demanded $7 million from Kim, claiming she devastated him by filing divorce papers. It's hard to say he was devastated when he moved on two months after divorce docs were filed.

Sources say Kim's lawyer wants to know if Kris said anything about his marriage which might relate to his claim Kim defrauded him -- in other words, did he blow his cover during pillow talk. We're told Kim's lawyer also wants details about hundreds of texts and emails exchanged between Myla and Kris.

Myla's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, accepted service on behalf of Myla.

Tacopina tells TMZ his client will comply with the subpoena.

Mike Tyson had a serious problem with banging hookers -- a confession he blurted out during a bizarre interview on live TV.

Iron Mike was on NBC Today when Ann Curry asked him about becoming vegan -- but his answer had ZERO to do with vegetables ... "There's too many prison cells, jails, lawsuits, bankruptcies, women, venereal diseases, too many everything. I got tired of umm, everytime a prostitute girlfriend came back from a trip I had to sleep with them."

BOOM.

You gotta see Spike Lee -- who was trying to promote the Broadway play he's doing with Tyson -- try to get Mike back on topic.

New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker was kicked out of a fancy restaurant in Aspen, CO Friday night -- after his posse allegedly got into a physical altercation with the bouncers.

According to the NY Post, Welker and a few of his pals hit up the Patron-sponsored Summerology event at Above the Salt restaurant -- part of the Aspen Food & Wine Classic.

Welker and his boys reportedly tried to rush inside the event without checking in with the door people ... so security stepped in and physically restrained the Super Bowl scapegoat.

Welker's crew was pissed -- and sources tell the Post, tensions were running so high, a fight nearly ensued.

According to the Post, cops responded to the scene and booted Welker's group from the property.

Roger Clemens was found NOT GUILTY of lying to Congress when he denied using steroids and HGH back in 2008.

In fact, the former Cy Young winner was acquitted on all 6 charges -- including 2 counts of perjury, 3 counts of making false statements and 1 count of obstructing Congress.

Here's the backstory -- a federal panel was tasked with investigating several baseball players in the wake of the Mitchell Report, which connected tons of MLB players to performance-enhancing drugs.

Clemens had been named in the report, but denied using any illegal substances. But Roger's longtime personal trainer Brian McNamee later accused Clemens of lying ... saying he personally injected Clemens with PEDs for years.

Prosecutors believed McNamee and filed charges against Clemens -- but today, a jury found there was not enough evidence to convict Roger on any count.

2:43 PM PT -- Roger just gave a very emotional statement to the media ... thanking his legal team, his family and all of the former teammates that came to his defense.

There were no Tigers at the U.S. Open trophy ceremony ... but there was a crazy Bird Man ... and now the guy who snuck past security and stole the show by bird-calling on live TV is vowing to do it again.

TMZ spoke with the man ... (he ONLY refers to himself as "Jungle Bird") ... who admits he had a few beers before jumping in front of Bob Costas and U.S. Open Champ Webb Simpson at Sunday's big trophy celebration at the world famous golf tourney.

But this was no drunken stunt -- JB says it was a premeditated mission to raise awareness about global deforestation ... explaining, "I want people thinking about saving trees."

Of course, security ripped him off the course and handed him over to the San Francisco PD -- but JB says the officers were laughing with him and making bird noises at the station. They eventually let him go because the U.S. Open did not want to press charges.

So how did JB manage to breach security in the first place? "It was quite easy," he explains ... "There was security there but everyone was caught up in the moment and they were distracted."

Jungle Bird Man insists we haven't seen the last of his foul feathered ways ... telling us his next bird strike will go down in the U.K. -- "The House of Commons is the next port of call."

Former UFC champ Tito Ortiz is backing down in his war with an alleged drug-fueled stalker ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... Ortiz had filed a request for a restraining order against Shana Burroughs -- a former friend of his baby mama Jenna Jameson who would allegedly come to his house with all sorts of prescription drugs ... including Xanax and Oxycodone.

The Oxycodone is problematic because Tito has said in the past that Jenna has struggled with the drug.

Ortiz also claimed Burroughs was stealing stuff from their house and would scare their children.

A hearing on the restraining order was set for Friday -- but Tito was a no-show ... so the judge tossed out the case against Burroughs.

OK, so HE was the one who went topless ... but DAMN.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski ditched his shirt ... and donned a pair of d-bag shades ... to host the Hot 100 party at Wet Republic on Vegas this weekend.

Of course, Rob isn't shy about his ridiculous physique ... dude tore off his shirt at a Super Bowl after-party back in February ... a move that was highly scrutinized 'cause his team had just LOST.

Kris Humphries' ex-flame Myla Sinanaj threatened to release sordid details about her relationship with Kris ... and TMZ has the voicemail.

Sources say ... after photos of Myla and Kris began leaking, Kris broke off all contact with her. Myla became enraged after trying in vain 17 times to reach Kris and then called one of his friends.

Myla left a message, demanding that Kris stop stonewalling her and return her calls.

Myla says, "If he's going to play me like that, I have way more sh*t I can put out."

The voicemail does not show alleged extortion on Sinanaj's part, as Humphries claims. Nonetheless, we're told Kris' lawyers gave it to the FBI when they made their extortion complaint.

Myla's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, tells TMZ, there was no evidence of extortion and unless Kris and his lawyer apologize immediately they will both be on the receiving end of a defamation suit.

Tacopina says Myla was indeed angry when she read that Kris was calling her a "booty call." Tacopina says hundreds of emails and text messages show Myla and Kris were in a "substantial relationship," with Myla meeting Kris' parents, helping his sister shop for furniture for her new apartment and spending many evenings together at home cooking meals.

Chris Webber has run out of timeouts with the State of California and now they've filed a six-figure tax lien against the five-time NBA all-star ... TMZ has learned.

According to documents filed by the California Employment Development Office, CWebb owes the state for unpaid taxes from the last few months of 2008 and all of 2009. The initial amount was for $81,427.36, but with $25,874.56 in penalties and $11,629.05 in interest ... the former Sacrament King now owes $118,930.97.

Chris Bosh's 3-year-old daughter will have to watch her daddy's 2012 Olympic run on TV -- a judge has refused to give the Miami Heat star permission to take his baby girl to London next month.

TMZ broke the story ... Chris asked the judge to give him the green light to take her to London to watch him play -- a move his baby mama Allison Mathis was fighting because of possible terrorism.

The judge mulled it over and has now sided with Mathis -- refusing to let Bosh take their daughter overseas. It's unclear exactly why the judge ruled against Bosh.

NFL star Pacman Jones has been ordered to pay roughly $11.6 MILLION in damages to the victims of a 2007 strip club shooting in Las Vegas ... TMZ has learned.

Pacman had been sued by Aaron Cudworth and Thomas Urbanski -- two security guards who were shot outside Minxx strip club during an NBA All-Star weekend back in 2007.

The incident was widely reported -- things went crazy inside the club after the NFL star made it rain with hundreds of dollars in singles. According to reports, Jones got upset when one of the dancers began taking the money without his permission.

A fight ensued outside the club ... and three people were shot ... including Cudworth and Urbanski.

The security guards sued Pacman over the shooting -- even though he was not the shooter.

Moments ago, a Nevada jury found Jones to be responsible for the shooting and awarded Cudworth $1.3 million in damages. Urbanski -- who was paralyzed from the waist down in the incident -- got $9.6 million. The winning lawyer was Richard Schonfeld.

Urbanski's wife sued for loss of marital relations and won $750k.

Cleveland Browns superstar Josh Cribbs smacked one outta the park with college baseball fans ... 'cause he just came through strong on a promise to put $10k towards a fan road trip to the College World Series.

Cribbs -- who famously attended Kent State University -- was fired up when his alma mater finally earned a spot to play in the CWS in Omaha, Nebraska ... and wanted to make sure the stands were packed with Golden Flashes fans.

So Cribbs put $10k of his own money towards a fan road trip from Cleveland to NE ... so 46 KSU fans could afford to make the journey.

Josh's cash went towards a charter bus, food, shirts, tickets to the games and hotel accommodations -- and in the end, the fans only had to fork over an extra $150 each to cover the remainder of the bill.

Cribbs -- who holds the NFL record with eight kickoff returns for touchdowns -- was there when the bus hit the road this morning (see video) and plans on flying out tomorrow after practice to see the Golden Flashes play their first ever game in the CWS.

NBA superstar Tony Parker says he suffered a serious eye injury during the Chris Brown vs. Drake bottle-tossing mega-brawl.

Parker was inside club W.i.P in NYC Wednesday night when the bottle and the fists began to fly.

Parker addressed the media today and said he got some shards of glass in his eye during the melee.

"I was there with a bunch of friends when a fight broke out. They started to throw bottles about. I got it all."

Parker continued, "The cornea has been touched. I can't do anything for seven days. But I was lucky. The injury won't prevent me from competing in the Olympics in any way."

Boxing champ Floyd Mayweather really needs a pacifier -- 'cause he's a huge whiner! Money's begging to get out of jail, but fortunately for us (after airing this) ... the judge shut him down. Waaugh!!!

The Stanley Cup was a whore last night ... because it let all sorts of strangers rub their mouths and butts all over it for hours ... and TMZ has the pics.

The enablers were several members of the world champion L.A. Kings -- who treated Stanley to a night of mayhem at Beacher's Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood.

During the show, the Kings were entertained by The Little Kings -- a band of little people dressed up like their NHL counterparts ... who used the cup as a chair when their tiny feet got tired.

We're told the Kings arrived to the party with David Beckham ... and were met at the venue by UFC legend Chuck Liddell ... who filled the cup with beer and had the Kings hoist it up so he could chug with the champs.
