Big night for the coppers down in Shreveport, LA -- rapper Rick Ross and Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Peters were both arrested last night in separate incidents.

Charlie Gets $$$ Advice From Lenny Dykstra ... Really?
If you needed someone to drive you somewhere, would you pick the guy who crashed his car into a tree the week before? Of course not ... so why then did Charlie Sheen enlist financial help from bankrupt former baseball star Lenny Dykstra?
According to real estate records, Sheen closed Friday on a $7 million house located in the exclusive Mulholland Estates ... near where he lives now.
Sources close to Sheen tell TMZ ... when it came to getting financing, he asked none other than Lenny Dykstra for help. Lenny worked as Charlie's middleman to secure a loan.
Remember ... Lenny filed for bankruptcy in 2009 after declaring he was between $10 million and $50 million in debt.
And ironically ... Lenny's $17.5 million home went into foreclosure. His Rolls Royce and jet got repossessed, etc. etc.
Oh yeah, it got so bad, one of his creditors tried to repo his dog.

Kurt Angle Arrested for Being Drunk in a Car
Wrestling superstar Kurt Angle was arrested early this morning in North Dakota ... TMZ has learned.

During the conversation, cops say they smelled alcohol on Angle's breath. He failed a field sobriety test and was arrested.

Strahan: Ochocinco WON'T Make Pro Soccer Team
NFL legend MIchael Strahan thinks Chad Ochocinco's attempt to join a pro MLS soccer club is way out of his league ... saying flat-out, "I don't think he's gonna make the team."
Ochocinco was supposed to finish his NFL lockout inspired 4-day trial with Sporting Kansas City tomorrow -- but he's been asked to stick around until Monday so he can participate in their reserve game.
After that ... it's pretty much curtains ... a certainty even SKC's coach is preaching.
But Strahan doesn't think it's all for naught ... saying, "[SKC] know what they're doing. Give [Chad] a chance and get a little bit out of him at the same time."
Good publicity ... that's something OCHOCINCO knows a thing or two about.

City Officials to A-Rod: Fix Your Pool, Or Else!
A Florida apartment complex owned by Alex Rodriguez has been targeted by housing officials -- after residents lodged complaints about safety code violations ... TMZ has learned.
A-Rod -- who owns a property company that holds title to the Normandy Park Apartment complex near Tampa -- has been under fire for poor living conditions. But now residents have risen up and forced management to clean up its act -- at least partially.
There are holes in walls, rusty pipes, overflowing trash, but the swimming pool has become the trigger for official action. Residents complained to the city that the pool has been unusable for 2 years, and local code enforcement officials have now ordered that it be drained and cleaned by next week ... or else.
The assistant property manager tells us, they're aware of the violation and have a plan to give the swimming area an immediate face lift -- but they wouldn't comment on the other obvious problems.
Sound like the place for you? Rent starts at $600 a month.
A-Rod's rep tells TMZ, "Mr. Rodriguez's real estate portfolio is handled by a professional team and problems brought to his attention will be addressed in a timely manner."
The rep adds, "Over the last 12 months, several hundred thousand dollars in improvements have been made to the property."

Mike Vick Dissed By Former High School ... Again!
Michael Vick's former high school has REFUSED to re-hang the NFL star's framed prep football jersey in their hallway ... despite a spirited student-initiated campaign ... TMZ has learned.
Vick's jersey had been on display in the hallway at Warwick High in Newport News, VA until 2007 ... when he was busted for that whole dogfighting ring. However, after Vick's incredible NFL comeback this past season, hundreds of students rallied to get administrators to forgive Vick and re-hang his old #7.
But school officials have made their decision -- telling TMZ the jersey will NOT be returned on display for the remainder of the year.
Officials tell us they believe the jersey would be a "distraction to the student's education" ... plus, faculty members are concerned the jersey could be vandalized or stolen.
We're told the decision is not set in stone -- and school officials tell us they may consider returning the jersey to a place of honor sometime in the future.
