With a war raging back in England over his team's disappointing performance in Euro 2012, soccer stud Wayne Rooney has escaped to L.A. with his scorching hot wife.

Wayne and Coleen Rooney went on a quiet date to BOA Steakhouse in Hollywood last night ... and despite the fact he's estimated to make more than $14 MILLION per year ... the couple didn't leave in a limo ... or a private car ... they left in a plain old, regular taxi cab.

Everyone ... literally EVERYONE ... in the U.K. is still bitching about England's loss to Italy ... but instead of asking about the tournament ... or his contract with Manchester United ... or what he ate at the fancy steakhouse ... our photog asked not one, but TWO of the dumbest frickin' questions, maybe ever.

Anthony Davis is going first in tonight's NBA Draft -- not because he's a sick baller, but because no one is immune to the charms of his amazing unibrow! You know you're staring.

Former Super Bowl champion Corey Dillon is experiencing a case of divorce deja vu ... 'cause his longtime wife is calling off their marriage ... for the second time.

The former New England Patriots running back has been hit with divorce papers from his wife of 12 years, Desiree Antoine-Dillon.

According to the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Desiree is blaming the split on irreconcilable differences.

Desiree is asking for full legal and physical custody of their 3 minor children ... with Corey getting visitation rights. She's also asking for spousal support.

Desiree had filed for divorce from Corey back in 2010 ... but the split was called off a month later.

Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire is owning up to a homophobic message he sent to a fan on Twitter this weekend -- and now wants to publicly apologize, telling TMZ, "I should have known better and there is no excuse."

Amar'e adds, "I am a huge supporter of civil rights for all people. I am disappointed in myself for my statement to a fan."

The NBA just announced ... Amar'e has been fined $50,000 over the incident -- for what the league called "offensive and derogatory language."

Amar'e sent the message Saturday in response to a bitter fan, who criticized Amar'e for the Knicks' poor finish last season. The fan wrote, "@Amareisreal you better come back a lot stronger and quicker to make up for this past season mannnnnn deadasss!!!"

Amar'e responded in a direct message, saying, "F**k you. I don't have to do anything f*g."

Kris Humphries swore under oath during his deposition Monday ... Myla Sinanaj was just a friend, who was mighty curious about Kim Kardashian ... sources connected with the bballer tell TMZ.

Kris -- who was required to sit for the depo by Kim's legal team -- insisted he only knew Myla for a few months, even though we're told they were banging since January.

Sources connected with Kris tell us ... he admitted he spoke "generally" to Myla about Kim, but only when she asked questions, such as ..."What's she like in real life?" Kris testified he never spoke to Myla about his divorce.

And our sources say ... Kris was asked various questions about his allegation that Kim defrauded him into marrying her and her motivation was just a crass ploy for ratings. We're told Kris offered no specifics ... no evidence of fraud.

Sources connected with Kris say they don't want to disclose evidence of fraud until the trial. Thing is ... his testimony was under oath and we're told he offered nothing.

Stay tuned

Terrell Owens has great hands ... just ask Terrell Owens ... who's now at the center of a XXX photo situation involving some VERY graphic images featuring himself ... with himself.

TMZ has learned ... someone is shopping several pictures to various media outlets ... but no, you won't be seeing them here.

The woman shopping the pics claims the two met on Twitter ... and after several conversations, the two went to Skype, where they engaged in a cyber-sexual relationship ... and apparently, the women snapped a few action shots for good measure.

It's unclear if the woman has received any offers on the photos ... but one thing is certain -- when T.O. famously said "I love me some me" ... he meant it.

Jerry Sandusky was mercilessly taunted for HOURS during his first night in jail back in December -- when his fellow inmates chanted Pink Floyd's famous lyrics ... "Hey teacher, leave those kids alone!"

One of the men in the facility at the time -- a 22-year-old named Josh -- described the events to The Daily, saying they sang the song over and over ... all night.

68-year-old Sandusky spent the night in jail following his second arrest on December 7th, 2011 -- after a grand jury voted to charge the former Penn State football coach with an additional 12 counts of child abuse, bringing his new total to 52.

That's when the above mug shot was taken.

Four counts were eventually dropped, leaving 48 remaining. Last week, Sandusky was found guilty on 45. He's currently awaiting sentencing behind bars.

The bad news for Kris Humphries -- he's about to face hours of grueling/brutal questioning from Kim Kardashian's legal team. The good news -- the lawyer is really hot.

We've learned Kris is minutes away from taking an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and then disso queen Laura Wasser's associate (who's just as hot as Laura) will fire questions at Kris. Por ejemplo ...

-- If you were so devastated by Kim pulling the plug on your marriage, why were you banging a new girlfriend 2 months later?

-- Why do you think you're entitled to $7 million when you signed a prenup saying you'd get nothing?

-- Did you not profit from the marriage, by becoming the celebrity to which you have aspired?

The New York Knicks put on a full court press this weekend to kiss the ass of their #1 free agent -- Jeremy Lin -- with Coach Mike Woodson wining and dining the point guard at a fancy Beverly Hills steakhouse ... and TMZ has the footage.

Woodson -- who just took over the team at the end of regular season -- seemed pretty chummy with Jeremy as the two exited Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills ... one of the best (and most expensive) restaurants in town.

But Woodson didn't come alone -- Knicks stars Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler joined the two for dinner.

Lin -- who broke out as a superstar last year -- becomes a free agent in just a couple of weeks ... and Woodson has already announced that he wants Jeremy to be his starting point guard next season.

Kris Humphries told his ex, Myla Sinanaj ... he KNEW Kim Kardashian hooked up with Kanye West because he was mysteriously absent from the big wedding ... sources close to Myla tell TMZ.

We're told Kris groused to Myla about how Kris Jenner suspiciously referred to Kanye as "a close family friend" -- someone Kim knew for a long time. Kris H told Myla, "If he was such a close family friend, why wasn't he invited to the wedding?"

We're told Kris confided in Myla he "felt played" by the whole thing and was genuinely devastated when news of Kim's new relationship broke.

Here it is ... video footage of "Half Pint Brawlers" star Puppet botching a jump from the top rope last weekend ... and smashing his entire face on the concrete floor. Enjoy!

TMZ broke the story ... Puppet suffered major damage in the wrestling accident -- requiring 8 stitches in his head and a brand new set of teeth to replace the ones that were knocked out of his mouth.

The good news ... Puppet has already received some brand new chompers (below). The bad news ... he still has stitches in his mouth so they're only temporary.

He won't get a permanent set till next week.

Broke NFL legend Warren Sapp just pulled a Garey Busey and officially graduated from debt school!!!!!!

TMZ broke the story ... the Superbowl champ filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in April -- claiming he was over $6.7 million in debt to creditors -- but as part of the deal he was ordered by a court to complete a financial management course to learn how to better handle his dough.

Looks like Sapp owned that course ... he just received his "Certificate of Debtor Education" on June 19, 2012 from a company that offered the class online called Credit Card Management Services ... officially putting the former NFL star on the path to financial recovery.

An attorney for Jerry Sandusky said Saturday his client has been placed under suicide watch for his own safety.

Karl Rominger told CNN that Sandusky is being held in protective custody -- separate from other inmates -- as he awaits sentencing.

He explained, "The judge in this case and the warden in this case decided to take a measure not meant to suggest in any way that he is suicidal, but simply to put the precautions in place first and then evaluate later."

W.i.P. nightclub feels it's absurd that Tony Parker is suing them over the Chris Brown/Drake fight ... saying there is no way they could have predicted what went down ... sources directly connected to the club tell TMZ.

Parker filed a $20 million lawsuit against the club on Thursday, claiming the club should have known "there was bad blood between Drake and Brown" and only fueled matters by selling them and their posse alcohol.

But sources close to the club tell TMZ that Drake and Chris Brown are not prone to such violence, with one source saying, "Chris Brown and Drake are not Biggie and Tupac."

We're told the club feels the fight was out of their control and they did everything they could to stop it as quickly as possible.

Our sources say the club finds Tony's allegation they were understaffed to be ridiculous ... saying they had around 15 security guards working that night and the owners personally choose who goes in the club and who doesn't.

Jerry Sandusky was found guilty tonight of child molestation, and will almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison.

The former Penn State assistant football coach was found guilty of 45 of the 48 counts involving 10 boys over a 15 year period.

The jury reached the verdict after deliberating a little more than 20 hours. The judge didn't want to wait until Monday so he had the verdict read at 10 PM ET.

68-year-old Sandusky showed little emotion as the verdicts were read.

He was sent immediately to county jail, where he will await formal sentencing, probably in about 3 months.

8 victims took the stand to testify against Sandusky -- often in graphic detail -- describing how the former PSU coach abused them, from inappropriate touching and group showering, to forced oral and anal sex. Other witnesses described accounts pertaining to the remaining two victims.

Sandusky did not take the stand in his own defense.

Sandusky's lawyers insinuated the witnesses were financially motivated -- but the defense fell flat.

Sandusky met many of the children he abused through his Second Mile children's charity ... which Sandusky claimed he founded to help underprivileged boys.

Dwyane Wade's father wasn't always banking on his son becoming a gazillionaire ... because he took out a loan to attend trade school back in the day ... a loan he allegedly never re-paid.

TMZ has learned ... D-Wade Sr. is being sued by the U.S. Govt. for defaulting on a $4,630.46 loan intended for higher education.

According to the docs, Wade Sr. borrowed the cash to attend the Environmental Technical Institute -- which specializes in the heating, air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

The loan was approved in 2001 -- the same year Dwyane Wade Jr. entered his freshman year at Marquette University.

The U.S. Govt. is going after Wade Sr. for the full amount of the loan -- plus interest -- totaling $6,221.44 ... which DW Sr. could probably find in his son's couch cushions.
