Angels will DIE if Hulk Hogan shaves his mustache ... so says the leader of a powerful mustache organization.

TMZ spoke with Dr. Aaron Perlut -- Chairman of the American Mustache Institute and self-professed doctor of "nuclear mustacheology" -- who says he's particularly upset with Hulk's plan to shave ... since he is "seen as a longtime leading figure in the sexually dynamic Mustached American community."

Perlut says, "Not only would the removal of his lower nose foliage cause angels in heaven to die and fall to earth -- as is written in biblical texts -- but it would send a poor message to young people of Mustached American descent who wish to embrace the Mustached American experience."

"We do hope that Mr. Hogan, for whom we have great reverence, reconsiders shaving his upper lip shading device as millions of those he has inspired would be greatly let down, leading to mass chaos and deep bouts of depression in the Mustached American community.”

Neither Hogan nor his mustache could be reached for comment.

The Gina Carano vocal mystery is OFFICIALLY OVER -- because the rib-cracking MMA fighter has finally admitted that her voice WAS altered for her role in the movie "Haywire."

Carano appeared on a podcast for the "No Holds Barred" MMA blog yesterday ... when she explained why director Steven Soderbergh felt he needed to do some "altering and mixing" to her voice.

Long story short -- Carano says Soderbergh wanted people to believe that Gina and her character are "two completely different entities" ... and felt the vocal change would help.

Carano added, "I'm just honored to be a part of it ... there was a little joke that I was saying that even if [Soderbergh] would have shaved my head and put Bill Clinton as my voice, I would have still done it."

It's the most famous mustache in the universe, but Hulk Hogan says he's finally ready to shave off his iconic facial hair -- FOR A MOVIE!!!

Hulk announced his plans to shatter the space-time continuum yesterday in Florida -- telling TMZ, "I'm getting ready to go on some auditions. I'm getting ready to shave my head and my mustache. So that should be scary ..."

Hulk also said he's all better after his dental surgery Tuesday night -- when doctors operated to remove a metal tack from his mouth ... and clean up the surrounding infection. Long story.

Hulk added, "Theme for the day is ... kids, take care of your teeth."

Manny Pacquiao could decide today or tomorrow whether he will fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th -- this according to Manny's trainer.

Freddie Roach just told TMZ Manny and promoter Bob Arum are in the Philippines, figuring out if they can put off several deals to fight other boxers ... to clear the decks for a Mayweather fight in May.

Roach is scoffing at Mayweather's tweet, in which he calls Pacquiao a "punk," saying, "He should look in the mirror. He's been ducking us for 2 years."

As for what weight class Pacquiao will fight Mayweather ... Roach said 147 lbs -- that's the upper limit of welterweight.

Hulk Hogan's mouth is seriously messed up, after a dentist accidentally ripped out 50 stitches from his mouth.

Hulk tells TMZ ... in October he went in for dental surgery to get implants. The doctor performed a sinus graft -- placing a donor bone in the mouth to support the implant. Hulk then went to a cosmetic surgeon to begin the implant process. When the doc removed the mold in Hulk's mouth, it ripped out around 50 stitches from the donor bone procedure.

Hulk says he's been dealing with the problem ever since ... his mouth became infected and the antibiotics just weren't doing the trick.

So recently Hulk had a CAT scan, which revealed -- get this -- that one of the doctors left a metal tack in his mouth.

Last night, Hulk went to the hospital for surgery -- to remove the tack and clean out the mess.

Hulk tells us ... "They had to drill a f**king hole in my face!"

And, Hulk says, he's already home and, "I have to have a meeting with my lawyers now." But it's not to sue the dentists. He still has legal issues with his ex-wife.

The LAPD is on the hunt for a cyber-douchebag who threatened to attack the people at FoxSports.com ... all because they blocked the idiot from posting on their message board.

The drama began on November 1, 2011 ... when Fox Sports banned a user who posted an "inappropriate comment" on a FoxSports.com team page.

According to official police documents, Fox Sports later received a threatening message which the user sent to the "report abuse" tab ... which read, "All you moderators are c**ksuckers and one day you are going to get your faces caved in to your brain."

The message continued, "You think just because you do this over the Internet you cannot be located. You are wrong .... Watch your ass you f**king b*tches. I am coming for you ..."

FoxSports.com security officials told police they were "extremely concerned for the safety" of the staff ... and insisted they are "not taking this threat lightly."

Now, detectives from the LAPD Threat Management Unit are on the case .. hoping to track down the suspect.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. just issued the challenge the world has been waiting for -- demanding Manny Pacquiao fight him once and for all ... May 5th in Vegas.

As we reported, Floyd's jail sentence was postponed to June so he could fight at the MGM Grand on May 5th -- but so far, his opponent hasn't been determined.

Fight fans have been clamoring for Mayweather-Pacquiao for years -- and now Floyd himself is calling out Manny with the message, "Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see."

Floyd sounded off in the tough and hardcore forums of Twitter and Facebook -- and punctuated his challenge with, "Step up Punk."

Gina Carano is the REAL DEAL in the world of MMA ... but there are allegations she's not totally the real deal on the big screen ... because her voice in the new movie, "Haywire" ... may NOT be her voice at all.

Sources connected with the production tell TMZ ... the folks behind the movie didn't like the way Carano sounded when they filmed the flick ... so they changed it in post. It's unclear if they used fancy electronics to alter Gina's vocal quality, or whether they dubbed in another female voice.

Monday night, Carano was at The Grove in L.A. ... where she totally spoke with us ... and sounded great ... at least that's our opinion.

We placed multiple calls to the production company ... so far, no comment.

Before there was Tebow 3:16 in the NFL ... there was Austin 3:16 in the WWE ... and now the wrestling legend says he's willing to surrender his iconic numbers to the NFL star, pending one GIANT condition.

TMZ spoke with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin -- who tells us he watched Tebow's Mile High Miracle this weekend and was blown away when he learned Tim threw for exactly 316 yards in the playoff victory.

FYI -- the numbers have a special meaning with Stone Cold, who created the famous faux bible verse back in the '90s to humiliate his enemies -- "Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!!!"

Now, Austin tells us, "Austin 3:16 still rules" ... but adds, "If Tebow can throw for 316 yards again this weekend then hell, he can have the numbers and I'll have no problem with it."

Austin continues, "A guy named John was using it before me ... so if Tebow can do it again, more power to him!"

"I wish him all the luck in the world," Austin says ... adding, "I'm not a Denver fan but Tim's a great role model for kids."

Baltimore Ravens star Anquan Boldin claims his agent -- the man he trusted with his career -- swindled him out of $220,000 ... and now, it looks like he'll never get his money back.

Boldin filed a lawsuit against Darrell Eugene Wills in Florida bankruptcy court, claiming Darrell asked to borrow $170,000 to start a sports management agency in 2004 ... and never paid him back.

Anquan claims he supplied the loan on the condition that Darrell repay him with interest -- and reduce his agency fee -- but the venture failed ... and Darrell filed for bankruptcy.

Boldin sued Wills soon after to get his money back -- but a bankruptcy judge ruled that Darrell was such a financial wreck, he didn't have to repay his debts ... meaning Boldin is SOL.

Tim Tebow might have God on his side ... but he won't have the backing of some religious leaders in New England when the bible totin' QB takes on the Patriots in Foxboro Saturday.

TMZ spoke with a couple of holy men who are not only backing Tom Brady ... they're throwing jabs at Tebow's Broncos. Reverend Stephen Ayers from the Old North Church in Boston says, "I'm not sure God is a huge football fan but Tim Tebow is more than welcome to come worship with us on Sunday morning ... after hopefully losing to us."

Meanwhile, Reverend Amy Alletzhauser from Calvary United Methodist Church in Rhode Island tells us they'll be selling a Tebow sub sandwich at a church fundraiser this weekend. The catch? Rev Amy says it's a veggie sub "without meat, guts, or glory." Boom, God smack!

Tebow does have one brave soul backing him in the land of chowda heads -- Pastor Joseph Coppola went on TMZ Live today to explain why he's still praying for Tebow.

St. Louis Rams rookie Robert Quinn was LOOKIN' SHARP after he was picked 14th overall at the 2011 NFL Draft ... but now the guy who allegedly hooked up his fancy threads is suing ... TMZ has learned.

No, we're not talking about Quinn's tailor ... the dude with the beef is an agent who claims he repped Quinn during the draft ... but was kicked to the curb right before Quinn signed his MASSIVE $9.4 million contract.

According to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ ... Carl Carey claims he signed a deal with Quinn when the former University of North Carolina defensive end decided to turn pro.

Carey claims Quinn was viewed by NFL teams as a guy with some serious "character flaws and health concerns" ... until Carey reconstructed his image.

In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in North Carolina, Carey claims he did EVERYTHING for Quinn ... including party-planning, media training, and even "arranging for tailor-made suits."

Quinn also claims he negotiated deals with Nike and trading card companies.

But just before Quinn signed his contract ... (months after the draft) ... Carey claims he was fired ... and has not received the 3% cut he was contractually obligated to receive.

Fresh from vacationing with George Clooney, Stacy Keibler and Cindy Crawford in Mexico, Alex Rodriguez and his new girlfriend/wrestling diva Torrie Wilson continued soaking up the sun and showing off their lean, ripped physiques at his house in Miami this weekend.

Gym. Tan. Lovers.

And if that wasn't convincing enough -- here's a pic of the new couple getting nibbly in A-Rod's pool.

Pilar Sanders wants everyone to know she's NOT an adulterous floozie who cheated on Deion ... and now she wants to take a lie detector test to prove it.

Pilar is still fuming about the allegations Deion's daughter Deiondra made about her during an epic Twitter rant last month ... in which she claimed Pilar was a "gold digging h*e" who cheated on the NFL legend.

Now, Pilar's attorney, Larry Friedman, tells TMZ ... "It is extremely unfortunate that, in addition to the mental distress caused by the unexpected and untimely filing of the divorce by Deion Sanders, he has not stopped his daughter Deiondra from falsely accusing my client, Pilar Sanders, of infidelity in order to cause her more pain and suffering and further damage her character and reputation."

Friedman adds, "This matter doesn't require praying for Pilar as Deion has stated; it calls for telling the 'truth' -- as well as a retraction of the false accusations made about Pilar and a public apology."

"Perhaps it's time for the parties to submit to and release the results of a polygraph examination to determine whether infidelity was committed during the marriage and to put an end to the speculation once and for all."

Elin Nordegren is SO rich -- she's basically building a replica of the multimillion dollar estate she knocked down.

TMZ has obtained renderings Elin submitted to the Palm Beach County Dept. of Planning, Zoning & Building. The exterior elevation drawing is verrrry similar to the house that was on the $12 million property before Elin razed it. Both are traditional/colonial homes with a very similar shape. The drawing looks similar to the 9,000 square foot house that was demolished.

Elin's builder told PEOPLE the house Elin 86'd was 90 years old, didn't meet code provisions to withstand hurricanes, and was infested with termites.

Of course, the house Elin builds will be brand spanking new. The supporting documents describe the house in detail.

-- 9 bedrooms
-- 2 large living rooms
-- huge formal dining room
-- 2 kitchens
-- large pool
-- GROTTO!!!
-- pool cabana with HUGE living room
-- 2 jacuzzis
-- detached guest house with 3 bedrooms
-- 3 guest bungalows
-- wine cellar
-- ginormous master wing with crazy big walk in closet
-- basement that runs the entire length of the house

There's 120 feet of retaining walls, and they are bringing in 4100 cubic yards of soil -- which is an enormous amount.

County officials have sent the architect back to the drawing board for some changes before the plans will be approved.

Chad Ochocinco has saved his relationship with Evelyn Lozada the old fashioned way ... with a lot of groveling ... and the wedding is back on, this according to sources close to the couple.

As TMZ first reported, Lozada put their wedding plans on hold after she suspected Ocho was stepping out on her.

But according to our sources, Ocho broke down this week and apologized. We're told Ocho said he would do whatever it took to win her back and suggested the two go to couple's counseling.

Our sources say Evelyn agreed and they will seek help to work out their trust issues.

Through a rep, Evelyn tells TMZ, "The strain from both our busy schedules started to take a serious toll on our relationship. Yet after spending some much needed quality time together, Chad and I are in a good space."
