Peyton Manning and younger brother Eli were spotted in Brooklyn last month sporting police uniforms for a video shoot.

TMZ spoke to a rep from DirecTV who tells us the whole thing is part of a project for DirecTV -- but insisted it's NOT a commercial.

As we previously reported, producer Jonathan Heap showed up to court today in L.A. -- where he expected the judge to lower Lenny's bail amount -- but the judge refused to budge ... demanding the full $500,000 to spring Lenny from the pokey.

We're told Heap was banking on the judge to lower his number, and didn't bring enough cash to cover the $50,000 bail premium -- 10% of the full bail amount.

Heap tells TMZ, he's still committed to freeing Lenny -- and will come up with the extra cash this weekend ... to bail out Lenny next week.

According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's report, "The primary and underlying cause of death is ischemic heart disease due to coronary artery pathology."

The report lists the manner of death as, "Natural."

However, the report continues, "Drugs ... particularly, methadone and cocaine, are other significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause."

Producer Jonathan Heap tells TMZ, he is willing to put up the $50,000 required to spring Lenny from the pokey -- because "everyone deserves a second chance."

As we previously reported, Lenny's people have been scrambling to come up with $50,000 -- 10% of the $500,000 bail price -- hitting up Lenny's famous friends for a handout ... but they haven't had any luck, until today.

Shocker -- Heap is also currently producing a movie based on Lenny's life.

Sources connected to the former MLB great tell TMZ ... Lenny's people are scrambling behind the scenes to come up with $50,000 -- 10% of the $500,000 bail price -- so they can spring Lenny from an L.A. jail where he's been stewing since he was booked on 23 felony charges earlier this week.

We're told Dykstra's right-hand guy tried to set up a meeting with Lenny's pal Charlie Sheen -- who helped bail Lenny out of jail earlier this year -- but Charlie's assistant turned him away.

Lenny's people then approached two wealthy members of the Philadelphia sports community -- but they weren't willing to fork over any cash either.

Since they can't score a check, Lenny's people are now toying with the idea of throwing a celebrity fundraiser -- in the hopes some of Dykstra's friends like Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden and Sheen will donate their time for the cause.

Sports question -- which NFL team, if any, will sign Plax?

The giant 30-year-old Spaniard and his pals soaked up the sun while on a boat in Ibiza on Thursday.

Seven months after Irons died in a Dallas hotel room, Andy's family released a statement today explaining Irons died from a heart attack caused by the hardening of his coronary arteries. The family says they spoke with a prominent forensic pathologist who explained Irons had a genetic predisposition to early development of heart disease ... which was SOLELY responsible for the heart attack.

However, the toxicology report and the autopsy from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner note a second cause of death -- "acute mixed drug ingestion."

Kardashian has fired off a new demand letter to Lockett, obtained by TMZ, which warns him if he doesn't retract his allegations and cease from making fresh ones, his new position will be defendant on the left side of the courtroom.

Lockett went on TMZ Live Wednesday and insisted he did indeed have an online and physical relationship with Kim this year, at the same time she was dating now-fiance Kris Humphries.

In the letter, Kim's lawyer, Michael Kump, says, "To put it very plainly and clearly, and as Mr. Lockett knows, there is not now, and never has been such a relationship," adding, "Ms. Kardashian does not know and has never even met Mr. Lockett."

They're selling out like hot cakes ... but the owner of El Viejo Lazaro Botanica -- which hocks all sorts of bizarre religious supplies, including voodoo stuff -- tells TMZ, he has no idea which Mavs are being targeted by the hexes.

If they're not buying voodoo dolls, we're told Miami fans are turning to herbal remedies -- buying what are called "Paraiso" herbs to use in a bath.

According to the owner, you put the herbs in a bath, get in, then visualize what you want to happen -- in this case, a Miami Heat victory.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops observed Grace in his 2009 Jaguar weaving in and out of his lane around 1 AM on May 30. Once officers pulled him over, cops say Grace -- who had a female passenger in the car -- admitted to "having a few drinks."

According to the report, Grace said he had consumed two glasses of Macallan scotch earlier that evening -- one of which he finished "5 minutes before the stop."

TMZ broke the story, Kim threatened to sue Lockett and In Touch Weekly for defamation -- over a story in which Lockett claimed Kim's been cheating on her fiance Kris Humphries ... with him.

The Warrior went crazy on a 7-minute video tirade, saying, among other things, that Hulk is a cocaine user who had an open marriage and encouraged ex-wife Linda Hogan to have sex with other wrestlers.

For starters, Hulk says the allegation of drug use is "a blatant lie."

As for claims about Linda, Hulk says, "None of that ever happened. This guy is out of his mind."

TMZ has obtained a demand letter, written by Kim's lawyer, threatening "In Touch" that if it ran the cheating story Kim would take legal action. The letter put "In Touch" on notice ... the cheating allegations "are, at a minimum, damaging, defamatory, and an invasion of her privacy."

Kim's reps tell TMZ ... Kim has never even met or spoken with Lockett.

Nevertheless, "In Touch" is publishing the story in its new issue. In the story, Lockett is quoted, saying, "I knew this was a game to her, and this is what she does." Lockett adds, "She pursued me."

Warrior released the rant yesterday to tease a 55 minute anti-Hogan video he plans to release later this month ... the latest attack in a bitter personal feud that's been going on between the wrestlers for years.

Warrior offers no hard evidence to back his claims -- but gives specific details about Hulk's alleged drug use and sex life.

When Hulk was asked if he's seen the new video, Hogan posted on his Twitter page, "I have no interest to even lower myself to communicate with [Warrior]."
