NFL cornerback Antonio Cromartie -- who's reportedly expecting to be released by the Jets this offseason -- made a major release of his own today ... his wife just posted a video of Cromartie nearly crapping his pants.

Cromartie was driving home from lunch with his wife Terricka ... when he felt a warm bubbling in his intestinal region, and demanded she pull the car over at the nearest toilet.

Judging by some pics Antonio posted to Instagram just before the car ride ... it looks like they were eating sushi for lunch.

Hilary Duff and ex-NHL star Mike Comrie have just announced they've separated ... and it's pretty obvious divorce is just a matter of time.

The couple says they "have mutually decided to an amicable separation" and will "remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives."

26-year-old Duff and 33-year-old Comrie were married in Aug. 2010 in Santa Barbara ... and Hilary gave birth to a baby boy, Luca, March 20, 2012.

Hilary's mom, Susan Duff, tells TMZ, the couple has already decided on joint custody of Luca. Susan says she loves Mike but sees the breakup this way, "They're better friends than a married couple."

A rep for the couple says they are dedicated to parenting their son together.

Hilary just tweeted saying, "Mike and I are sitting here, we are so appreciative for all of your kindness & well wishes."

She continued, "Not an easy day but we're getting thru it together."

Hilary and Mike were most recently spotted together on New Year's Eve.

Marcus Allen's still got it ... 'cause the 53-year-old NFL legend just became a daddy, TMZ Sports has learned.

We know ... Allen's girlfriend Lauren Hunter gave birth to Marcus' son, Drake Connor Allen, on January 5th.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... the two met several years ago on MySpace (back when MySpace was a thing) and they hit it off.

We're told Lauren has two children from a previous marriage -- and it appears the child is Marcus' first.

FYI -- Lauren is a fitness model ... and she's SMOKIN' HOT.

Nice work, Mr. Allen.

Dennis Rodman is NOT on Kim Jong-Un's payroll, despite allegations from NBA Commish David Stern ... so says Dennis Rodman.

TMZ Sports spoke with Rodman's rep who tells us, "Dennis did not receive, nor has he ever received, any compensation from the North Korean government."

Of course, the statement is a direct response to Stern, who told CNN that Dennis only organized the basketball trip to Pyongyang because he was "blinded by a flash of North Korean money."

But Rodman's rep insists the bills were all covered by an Irish gambling company, Paddy Power, which withdrew its sponsorship from a "branding perspective but still honored all of their financial obligations to make the basketball diplomacy event happen."

Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud ... because Charles Barkley finally cast aside his prejudice against beer pong and decided it's OK for black people to toss a little white ball into Solo cups.

We broke the story ... Sir Charles came out strong about African American people competing in the drinking game after seeing our video of his buddy Michael Jordan playing in Florida.

"Black people don't play beer pong," Barkley said at the time.

But yesterday, Barkley pulled a total 180 when he appeared on the set at HLN and was challenged to a game by one of the female anchors.

After the anchor made her first shot and forced Charles to to drink, he said ... "I wanna lose this game apparently!! Why would you wanna make it? I want YOU to win!"

Another anchor quips, "She's trying to get you drunk." Charles responds, "I can live with that."

He finally admitted, "This is not a bad game, by the way ... [but] I don't understand why you gotta go through all this hard work just to drink beer."

Terrell Owens is finally gonna get his ring ... 'cause the former NFL star is GETTING MARRIED ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We know ... the 40-year-old wide receiver has obtained a marriage license in L.A. which shows he's planning to get hitched to Rachel Snider, a 33-year-old postal worker from Texas.

FYI -- Snider is NOT one of Terrell's FOUR baby mamas. As far as we know, they have no children together.

It's unclear how the two met ... but here's a shocker, it WASN'T on T.O.'s old VH1 reality show, which documented his (unsuccessful) search for the perfect mate.

As for the wedding, the marriage license is only good until April 8 ... so T.O. and Rachel have to swap "I dos" sometime before then, or else they'll have to apply for another license.

We're told the couple has been pretty hush hush about their engagement -- because, unlike Terrell, Rachel isn't obsessed with the spotlight.

Ya gotta love kickers ... because Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin hit the bars with David Arquette last night and predicted he'd make the "winning punt" in next year's Super Bowl.

The two were leaving Hooray Henry's in L.A. when they united in support of the Lions -- with Arquette so confident in his pal, he PUT $500 that Detroit would take the Lombardi Trophy next season.

We're guessing they'd been drinking before this footage was shot ... but, hey, they might have a point ... if the Lions can land the right coach, right??

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has a problem ... he can't take a dump -- but he's hoping Michael Jordan can inspire him to push through his problems.

The Heisman Trophy winner Instagram'd a selfie from his toilet Thursday night -- in which he writes, "So constipated lol dang but I got greatness behind me even when I take one # realninjaish."

The "greatness" that Jameis is referring to is the picture of Michael Jordan hanging behind his crapper.

You're never too young for a pimped out mouthpiece ... just ask Rip Hamilton's daughter.

The former NBA sharpshooter hooked his kid up with a swagged out pacifier that's made to look like she's got a full upper and bottom set of grillz ... a la Lil Wayne, Paul Wall, Nelly, etc.

The guys from O.C. Choppers are in the process of making one of their biggest bikes ever for Shaq ... and TMZ has learned it was customized for the big man with his NBA injuries in mind.

Shaq -- a huge bike fan -- asked for his ride to be taller and longer than normal to accommodate his arthritic hips ... and, of course, the shop obliged. We're told the completed bike will measure roughly 14 feet long (most are 10 ft.).

We're told ... since it's such a big project (due to the size of the bike) ... the guys are putting in a ton of extra work -- and it's all being caputured on tape for their new CMT show "Orange County Choppers."

Seattle Seahawks defensive stud Michael Bennett not only abandoned his dog -- he caused the puppy to have an emotional breakdown that destroyed his health, this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... Bennett was in deep dog crap with a pet boarding facility in Tampa, FL, where he allegedly LEFT his 4-month-old boxer Koa back in March after he signed with the Seahawks.

The facility claims it made multiple efforts to contact Bennett, but he blew 'em off -- so now, it's taking his ass to court.

In the lawsuit, filed in Florida, the Lucky Dog Daycare & Resort (ironic name for Koa) claims the puppy was so distraught after being abandoned, he "eventually began refusing to eat, losing his hair and clearly failing to thrive."

There's more ... Lucky Dog not only claims Bennett screwed them out of daycare bills for Koa, but says it also had to pay for "costs of arranging a foster home" for the dog.

Lucky Dog is seeking more than $5,000 to make things right. We reached out to Bennett for comment -- but he abandoned our phone call.

Who Dat with a stomach full of chicken? Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints ... cause we broke the story -- Popeyes is loading 'em up with buckets and buckets of their good luck charm before the Seahawks game. You biting on this superstition?

Plus, Blake Griffin did the impossible -- he actually made people feel sorry for Kris Humphries ... after dropping a monster dunk on his head. It was so nasty, even Blake's own brother has pity for Kris. How 'bout you?

Not every female athlete needs to prove they can hang with the boys ... so says LPGA star Lexi Thompson who tells TMZ Sports she's actually TURNED DOWN a chance to take on the men.

The 3-time LPGA tour winner was in Midtown, NYC today ... and we asked her if she's ever felt compelled to test her skills in the PGA.

Lexi says she not only DECLINED the opportunity, she doesn't WANT to play with men ... telling us, "The women's tour is good enough for me."

She continued, "It's hard enough out in the LPGA."

Paulina Gretzky's pro-golfer fiance is really rubbing off on her ... 'cause the model's swing is looking as tight as her ass in those yoga pants.

The Great One's biggest accomplishment posted the video to Instagram today ... and credits Dustin Johnson (her golfer husband-to-be) for improving her stroke.

"Getting a little better thanks to my coach @djohnsonpga."

Of course, Paulina probably inherited some of her dad's hand-eye coordination ... and luckily, all of her mother's good looks.

50 Cent has SERIOUSLY upgraded his personal security team ... 'cause one of the guys watching his back is UFC Hall of Famer (and ex-WWE superstar) Ken Shamrock!!!!

49-year-old Shamrock was spotted on the rapper's personal protection detail at the CES convection in Las Vegas yesterday ... and afterward, Ken confirmed he's now working for a company that does private security for several "high-end clients," including Fiddy.

After the convention, Ken tweeted that it was a "pleasure" working for 50 ... and said the rapper is, "By far one of the classiest gents I have ever worked with."

As for Ken's fighting career -- he may not have given up on the ring entirely ... just last month, he appeared in a wrestling event in Costa Rica.

But for now, don't screw with Mr. Cent ... or you might end up in a nasty ankle lock.
