Steve Nash was in a surprisingly good mood this afternoon on his way into court -- where his ex-wife is currently fighting him tooth and nail to move their kids to L.A. ... and squeeze him for tons of child support.

We asked Steve a bunch of questions on his way back from lunch -- like why he really doesn't want his kids to move to L.A. ... and whether he can elaborate on his refusal to retire from basketball. He responds to one of them. Check the clip.

TMZ broke the story ... Alejandra Nash filed court papers last week, asking a judge to lift a restraining order Steve had obtained against her ... blocking her from moving their 3 kids to L.A.

Alejandra believes Nash wants her to stay put in Phoenix because it's a lot easier to obtain child support in California ... and Steve doesn't want to pay up.

For his part, Steve has said he wants Alejandra to stay in Phoenix in case he's traded or forced to retire ... so the family isn't uprooted a second time.

The community mall in Calabasas was teeming with action this morning ... as Keyshawn Johnson arrived in the Prius that cornered Justin Bieber and his Ferrari ... and angry residents unloaded on the Biebs.

Keyshawn was mum about the showdown ... but it was cool to see how the former NFL star rolls (hybrid style).

In the meantime ... an older crew from the 'hood made it clear ... they think Bieber is a rich, entitled, spoiled brat who just wasn't brought up right.

39-year-old Steve Nash swore under penalty of perjury ... the Los Angeles Lakers star has no plans to hang up his jersey and retire from basketball, TMZ has learned.

The revelation ironically came in the middle of a legal war he's having with his ex-wife over her plans to move with their kids from Arizona to California.

Steve is trying to block the move ... his ex believes it's because Nash fears a California judge would nail him for child support.

Steve is on the stand right now ... and that's where he revealed he plans to stick around the NBA for a while. In fact, Steve said he has more than a year left on the lease for his sweet pad in Manhattan Beach, the city that a bunch of the Lakers call home.

It was Team Cruise vs. Team Beckham at the L.A. Kings game last night.

Wearing father and son leathers, Tom Cruise and Connor Cruise watched the Kings beat the San Jose Sharks sitting alongside David and Victoria Beckham and their kids Romeo, Cruz, Brooklyn and adorable little Harper Beckham.

While the two A-list broods have no rivalry and have been good friends since back when Katie Holmes was still in the picture, Team Cruise clearly had the better seats in the house.

Everyone watches hockey for the fights ... and last night, the L.A. Kings announcer did his part to set up Keyshawn vs. Bieber by calling out JB during the live broadcast.

Right before the 3rd period, the camera found Bieber and some pals sitting rinkside at last night's Game 7 between the Kings and the Sharks (Go Kings Go!).

The announcer -- clearly abreast of the whole "Keyshawn Johnson vs. Justin Bieber Showdown in Calabasas" -- had a personal message for Key ... come and get him, HE'S RIGHT HERE!!!!

San Diego Chargers legend LaDainian Tomlinson will NEVER return to the NFL -- despite reports of a lucrative offer from his old team -- telling TMZ, retired life is just too good to give up.

LT was out in L.A. Monday when we asked about the Chargers reportedly offering Tomlinson a new contract this spring ... after he retired last year.

Tomlinson told us ... life after the game is so amazing, there's no way he'd ever accept another contract ... which is pretty crazy considering how integral a player he was. Watch the clip.

Billy Crystal says the L.A. Clippers won't lose Chris Paul when he becomes a free agent in a few weeks.

Billy Crystal is an L.A. Clippers superfan.

Billy Crystal is also rich and famous.

Therefore, Billy Crystal must know something we don't.

Keyshawn Johnson is still furious with Justin Bieber -- claiming the pop star is "playing with dynamite" by endangering Keyshawn's family with his reckless driving.

TMZ spoke with Keyshawn's agent Jerome Stanley who tells us ... Keyshawn is "very, very, very livid" with Justin for blazing through their Calabasas community in his Ferrari on Monday ... right where Keyshawn was walking with his children.

As we previously reported, Keyshawn chased after Bieber in his Prius -- and tried to confront the singer at Bieber's house -- but JB ran and hid inside of his home when Key pulled up.

"Keyshawn is taking the situation very seriously," Stanley says ... "He wants Justin to slow down and be a responsible neighbor."

Cops received multiple phone calls from concerned neighbors reporting Justin's dangerous driving -- and now the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. has launched an investigation into the matter.

We asked Stanley if Keyshawn plans to aid in the investigation -- to which he replied, "Keyshawn is a law-abiding citizen and he'll do whatever it takes to help the authorities."

When Justin Bieber allegedly raced his Ferrari past ex-NFL stud Keyshawn Johnson ... he learned a valuable lesson -- never underestimate an angry man in a Prius!

Especially one way bigger than you.

Forget "Mr. Nanny" ... or "Suburban Commando" ... Hulk Hogan tells us, burning his hand last weekend was by far the dumbest thing he's ever done in his life.

We posted the gnarly photos over the weekend showing Hulk's injuries -- but the wrestling legend has never explained what happened ... until now.

Hulk called in to "TMZ Live" today, telling us the accident occurred Sunday when his speedboat overheated. Hulk says he tried to be a badass and tried to hit the radiator release valve with his bare hands, and the radiator cap popped off ... burning the bejesus out of his hand.

In the words of Hulk, "It was the dumbest thing I've ever done."

You gotta listen ... it's hilarious.

NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson says he's personally witnessed Justin Bieber racing his Ferrari around the streets of Calabasas ... and tells TMZ he's worried the singer could seriously hurt someone if he doesn't slow his ass down.

We spoke to Dickerson -- who's lived in Calabsas for years -- and the NFL legend tells us he doesn't blame Keyshawn Johnson for confronting the singer yesterday.

"I've seen [Justin] driving fast around Calabasas before in the Ferrari," Dickerson says ... "It's just not safe."

Dickerson says he owns two Ferraris and understands how dangerous the car can be if an irresponsible person happens to be in the driver's seat.

"I used to drive fast," Dickerson admits ... "but that was on the freeway ... and even that wasn't safe."

As for Keyshawn's decision to follow Bieber to his home, Dickerson says -- "I don't blame Keyshawn, he's got kids ... I don't blame him for trying to get [Justin's] attention."

"I would've been the same way ... when you're a father it takes on a whole new meaning. Plus, we got that football mentality."

The St. Augustine PD is doing some hardcore backpedaling ... admitting they ACCIDENTALLY told the media Maurice Jones-Drew was charged with battery, when in fact, he hasn't been charged with anything ... yet.

Earlier today, the S.A.P.D. issued a statement to the media ... which stated very clearly, "The [S.A.P.D.] has filed charges of misdemeanor battery against Jacksonville Jaguars player Maurice Jones-Drew that stemmed from an altercation at the Conch House 'Reggae Sundays.'"

Now, a rep for the S.A.P.D. tells TMZ ... they screwed up and "misrepresented" the situation.

According to cops ... no charges have been filed against Jones-Drew, however, he IS being investigated for allegedly punching a security guard in the face ... and is a "person of interest."

TMZ has obtained a photo of Maurice Jones-Drew -- taken hours before his alleged beach bar fight -- and one thing's for sure ... tank tops are not slimming.

The photo was taken on Sunday May 26th at The Conch House in St. Augustine, FL -- where MJD and some of his friends were partying before MJD allegedly socked a bouncer in the face.

We broke the story ... the Jacksonville Jaguars running back has been charged with battery stemming from the incident.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew has been charged with battery after allegedly KO'ing a security guard at the Conch House in St. Augustine, FL ... TMZ has learned.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ, MJD is accused of striking the security guard with a closed fist on the guard's left cheek, knocking him out.

According to cops, the punch was intentional.

The incident went down during "Reggae Sundays" at the Conch House restaurant on May 26.

According to the police report, witnesses say ... MJD's buddy was told by security to stop touching a young female. The buddy allegedly "slapped" a security guard on his chest ... and a melee ensued.

One of the security guards reportedly put MJD's friend in a headlock to stop the fight ... and that's when MJD stepped in and clocked the guard.

After the incident, the security guard spoke with police -- and cops noted that the guy's jaw was "swollen a great deal and had a large lump on his jaw bone."

The security guard was hospitalized after the incident -- and doctors found contusions and a bone bruise, but no broken bones.

We reached out to MJD's people for comment -- so far, no word back.

1:25 PM PT -- The St. Augustine P.D. says they screwed up ... and misinformed the media that MJD had been charged with a crime when, in fact, he has not been charged ... yet.

Cops say MJD is a person of interest -- and officials are still investigating.

Keyshawn Johnson chased down a speeding Justin Bieber this weekend -- and tried to confront the singer about his dangerous driving habits -- but JB ran away like a scared little child ... eyewitnesses tell TMZ.

Sources tell us ... Keyshawn -- a former NFL superstar -- had just left a party Monday night inside of his exclusive gated community in Calabasas (with his child in the car), when Bieber zoomed by in his Ferrari at breakneck speeds.

We're told Keyshawn was furious -- feeling Justin could've killed someone -- so he brought his kid home, then chased after the singer in his Prius (yes, a Prius chasing a Ferrari).

When KJ got to Bieber's pad -- he blocked Justin's Ferrari in the driveway and got out of his car to confront Justin face-to-face ... but Justin ran inside of his house and refused to come out.

FYI -- Keyshawn is 6'4", 212 lbs ... Justin's about 5'7", 110 lbs (soaking wet).

As we previously reported, at least 2 people called the police on Justin that night -- and cops responded to the singer's home.

There's more ... sources say SEVERAL people witnessed the speeding incident -- and say Justin was definitely in the driver's seat. We're told the witnesses told Sheriff's deputies ... Bieber appeared stoned at the time.

We're still waiting to hear from Bieber's camp.

10:15AM PDT Now an NFL Hall of Famer is weighing in ... Eric Dickerson, who also lives in Calabasas, just tweeted ... "Justin Bieber needs to slow his ass down."

Justin Bieber is under police investigation for ANOTHER reckless driving incident -- allegedly driving his Ferrari at breakneck speeds in his gated community.

The incident occurred at around 8 PM Monday night. L.A. County Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore tells TMZ ... cops received 2 separate calls in different locations in the Calabasas community. Sources say one of the callers was Keyshawn Johnson.

Whitmore says the callers reported Bieber was driving at a "startling high rate of speed." At least one child was playing in the area where Bieber was allegedly driving.

We're told cops responded but Bieber refused to speak with them.

Bieber has had a history of alleged reckless driving. You'll recall prosecutors are currently reviewing a case where Bieber allegedly drove recklessly and then spit on a neighbor who confronted him. The neighbor says Bieber also threatened to kill him.

As for Sunday's case ... Whitmore says the case will be presented to the L.A. County District Attorney.

We spoke with Bieber's rep -- so far, no comment.
