Kristin Cavallari -- The TRAGIC Wedding Dress Photos
In one of the worst cases of horrible timing EVER, Kristin Cavallari posed in wedding dresses for a photo shoot last Thursday -- 4 days before it was announced her engagement to Jay Cutler was OVER.

NFL Star: Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed?
Former Miami Dolphins defensive end Adewale Ogunleye claims a man responsible for keeping his condo clean invaded his space, slept in his bed and even ate his cake ... and the football star is now going after the modern-day Goldilocks in court.
Ogunleye owns two units in the swanky Mondrian South Beach. He claims in the lawsuit ... last month, in the dead of night, he came home to find the silhouette of a large male behind a glass bathroom door.
The imposing NFLer demanded to know the identity of the stranger -- the intruder responded, "Roberto, head of housekeeping."
According to the lawsuit, Roberto was actually Daniel Anaya, who works for the Mondrian. Ogunleye says he was shocked to discover Anaya used his crib as a crash pad, sleeping in his bed and even eating a piece of cake.
Ogunleye is pissed at the Mondrian, claiming it had no policies in place to prevent this type of misconduct, so he's suing Anaya and the Mondrian for unspecified damages.
Maybe the Mondrian will use the Marie Antoinette defense ....

Ron Artest -- In Talks with 'Dancing w/ the Stars'
Ron Artest has a back-up plan in case the NBA lockout torpedoes next season -- we're told, Mr. World Peace is currently in talks with "Dancing with the Stars" ... and is seriously thinking about competing.
Nothing's official yet -- but sources tell us, both Artest and "Dancing" producers have been in touch to hash out a possible deal ... and Ron's pretty excited about the prospect.
But here's the catch -- "Dancing" won't end 'til November and basketball season typically starts in October ... which means if the lockout ends early, Ron could be S.O.L.
That said, Ron could theoretically handle both commitments simultaneously -- because as TMZ first reported, "Dancing" producers are desperate for A-list talent ... so there will be NO minimum rehearsal requirement next season.

Maryse says Silber's letters have gotten scarier over the last few weeks ... with Silber promising that he will be "coming to LA for me" ... and will "take me to heaven with him."

The firestorm unfolded on Twitter this weekend -- where, Francis unloaded on the woman behind the groping allegations ... a singer named Shauna Simien who was signed to Francis' record label at the time of the alleged assault.

Steve's rep tells TMZ .. Francis adamantly denies the allegations.

The case is still open. So far, no charges have been filed.
