Joe Francis is flattering himself by thinking Madonna will sing her new song, "Girls Gone Wild," during the Super Bowl halftime show ... so says Madonna's rep.

As TMZ first reported, Francis had his lawyers fire off a letter to Madonna demanding she negotiate a licensing agreement for using his infamous trademark in her song ... and also insisting she NOT sing the new track during Sunday's performance.

But a rep for Madonna tells TheWrap the song is not part of her set list.

But the matter isn't settled ... because Joe's lawyer wants money from Madonna for putting the song in her album.

Rickey Jackson was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2010 -- and while he was wearing his Hall of Fame jacket out and about in Indianapolis last night, you might be surprised to hear where he keeps it stored when he isn't wearing it.

While the anticipation of Madonna's half-time show at Super Bowl XLVI builds, take a mystical trip back in time and see who has also scored on this famous stage on the 50-yard line.

Kris Kristofferson's 6'2", 230-pound BEAST of a son has finally begun his career as a WWE superstar ... and TMZ has obtained pics of the 24-year-old in action on his first day of training camp.

"Big Country" Jody Kristofferson locked horns with several other up-and-coming wrestler's in the WWE's private training facility in Florida this week ... just weeks after inking a developmental contract with the organization.

Jody has been busting his ass for years in the minor league wrestling circuit ... paying his dues in small town wrestling matches ... until he recently attracted the eye of WWE scouts.

We're told officials like the fact that his father is famous ... but they feel he's not just a flash in the pan, and has real potential to be a break-out star.

Giants owner Steve Tisch confessed his Super Bowl superstition on TMZ Live today ... saying he won't remove 5-week old nail polish from his toes because he's afraid it could sink his team.

Tisch says 5 weeks ago his young daughters painted his toenails red and blue ... and his team hasn't lost a game since -- so now he's afraid to remove the polish.

Tisch adds ... he's barely washed his feet since his girls shellacked him -- and he has no plans to clean up ... at least until after Sunday.

Takeru Kobayashi is gearing up to poop out the remains of 168-and-a-half chickens ... after putting on one of the GREATEST competitive eating displays of all time.

Kobayashi WOLFED DOWN 337 chicken wings at Wing Bowl 20 in Philadelphia ... defeating Jonathan "Super" Squibb and Bill "El Wingador" Simmons.

After the competition, Kobayashi told reporters he could probably take down another 100 wings.

Takeru -- the former world hot dog eating champ -- walked away with the new Wing Bowl record and a check for $20,000 (that's $59 per wing).

Jack Nicholson has never been one to mince words ... the notion of going to the Super Bowl this Sunday makes him nauseous.

Nicholson grabbed some dinner with CSI minx Marg Helgenberger -- no they're not dating ... just old friends -- and a photog asked the die-hard Lakers fan if he was going to the big game.

Surrounded by an army of perfectly toned asses, devout virgin Tim Tebow appeared UNFAZED at a Super Bowl pre-party in Indianapolis last night ... but he did pull off one pretty awesome maneuver for a fan.

Tim was hanging out on the balcony at the Bud Light Hotel party ... when his buddy heard a fan down on the street begging Tebow to sign his hat.

Tebow -- being awesome -- instructed his buddy to signal to the fan to throw the hat up to the balcony ... which he did. Tebow put his Hancock on the lid and got it back to the fan.

Elton John's hubby David Furnish -- the guy who BLASTED Madonna after the Golden Globes -- tells TMZ ... there's NO WAY IN HELL he'll watch her Super Bowl halftime show.

It seems like another OBVIOUS diss aimed at the Material Girl ... but Furnish, who was leaving Red O restaurant in L.A., insists it's nothing personal ... he just doesn't watch football ... or anything football related.

Suuuuuuure.

In case you forgot ... Furnish labeled Madge as a "desperate" narcissist after she beat out Elton for Best Song at the Globes a few weeks ago. He later backed off the statement ... but never really apologized.

So ... is anyone actually buyin' what Furnish is selling ... that he won't be watching the biggest TV event of the year? Or is this yet ANOTHER attack in the cattiest feud in Hollywood?

NBA legend Bill Bridges claims he was left permanently scarred by a recent trip to a Marriott spa -- where the steam room allegedly seared his skin and eyes -- and now, he's suing the hotel for ruining his life.

Bill -- who won a championship ring with the Golden State Warriors in 1975 -- filed the lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming he visited the steam room last year at the Le Merigot Spa in the Marriott Santa Monica ... and upon entering, a cloud of steam "engulfed Mr. Bridges' face."

As a result, the 72-year-old Bridges claims he "suffered severe burns to his face and to his eyes, skin discoloration, and permanent scarring."

According to the lawsuit, Bridges has sought expensive treatments from both a dermatologist and ophthalmologist -- and has since been unable to see clearly, drive, work, and play golf.

Bridges claims he "also suffers from psychological trauma, and has been unable to go to [another] steam room."

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram is 5'10" and 215 pounds ... but dude SWEARS he can dunk a basketball ... and he's willing to prove it.

The former Heisman Trophy winner was hanging out in Indianapolis last night, getting ready to take in the Super Bowl ... when we started talkin' hoops.

Ingram -- who's still nursing a busted foot -- told us, "I CAN dunk ... if you don't believe me ... when my foot gets right, we can go to a court ... and you put your money where your mouth is."

Deion Sanders says his estranged wife is straight up LYING ... telling friends he NEVER offered her cash for sexual favors ... and insists Pilar is simply trying to extort him for millions.

TMZ broke the story ... Pilar just filed an emergency motion in Texas, claiming Deion is holding her as a "financial hostage" ... cutting off her cash flow ... and only offering to give her cash in exchange for X-rated activities.

Sources close to Deion tell us the accusations are entirely untrue ... and claim the NFL legend recently sent her a cashier's check for $10,000 ... which Pilar REJECTED.

Pilar's lawyer, Larry Friedman, tells us she refused to accept the money because Deion presented the check as a "partial payment" towards the prenup ... a prenup she believes is invalid.

We're told Pilar was only promised $1,000,000 in the prenup ... but Friedman believes she's entitled to MILLIONS more ... saying, "The offer does not reflect the assets in the estate and does not account for the time, effort, devotion, and faithfulness Pilar has invested in the marriage."

The Rolling Stones memorabilia museum in Germany isn't the only place in the world with giant mouth-shaped urinals -- Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian got one too ... and TMZ has a pic!!!

As we previously reported, several women in Germany are pissed over the lippy whiz receptacles in the German museum -- claiming they're demeaning to women -- but the museum owner is refusing to remove them ... because they're damn expensive.

But according to sources, Khloe and Lamar's urinal isn't so lucky -- and will be getting the heave-ho in the near future as part of a remodeling project in their Tarzana, CA home.

We're told it has nothing to do with how offensive the urinal may or may not be -- it just doesn't fit with the new decor ... so it's gotta go.

Golf pro Phil Mickelson says he has NOT been sinking his putts where it doesn’t belong … and now he’s sicking his lawyers on the people who’ve plastered the Internet with accusations he fathered an illegitimate child.

Mickelson was pissed when he learned some jerkwad or jerkwads using the screen names “Fogroller” and “Longitude” had been posting scurrilous claims about him and his wife on a message board … which implied the Mickelsons are BOTH screwing around on each other Tiger Woods-style.

Phil claims he was able to track the I.P. address to an Internet service provider in Quebec. And now, he wants a Canadian judge to force the ISP to hand over any information which could identify the mystery poster – so Phil can tee up a defamation suit against the offender.

Pilar Sanders claims Deion Sanders is holding her as a "financial hostage" ... completely severing her cash flow ... and has only offered to give her money in exchange for sex ... this according to new court papers obtained by TMZ.

Pilar has filed an emergency motion in a Texas courtroom ... claiming the NFL legend has canceled her credit cards and left her without any financial means to support herself and their children ... and she needs the judge to force Deion to give her money so she can survive.

In the docs, Pilar claims, "Since [Deion] filed for divorce on December 21, 2011, he has given [Pilar] $300.00 and offered her money in exchange for sexual favors."

She then notes, "Pilar turned down the money."

Pilar is begging the court to force Deion to give her money stat ... claiming "The children and I have lived in survival mode for several months, and the emotional toll on all of us is palpable."

Pilar also claims Deion has canceled her cell phone and has "engaged in a pattern of systematically removing my belongings from the house and haphazardly throwing them into piles in the garage of the residence."

Pilar claims Deion still rakes in more than $1 million per year ... and she NEEDS a cut of his income to survive.

L.A. Dodgers 1st baseman James Loney has dodged a MAJOR bullet ... because prosecutors have rejected the DUI case against him ... even though he allegedly acted like a complete maniac on the night he crashed his Maserati.

TMZ broke the story ... Loney was popped in L.A. back in November after colliding with a Toyota around 6 PM and then careening into 2 other vehicles.

According to the police report, the officer on the scene claims Loney's behavior was incredibly bizarre ... noting the athlete "exhibited eyelid tremors and his shirt was soiled and moist from perspiration, from his armpits down to his waistline."

Loney also allegedly refused to take a breathalyzer ... and spit the mouthpiece back at the cops. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI and cops took a blood sample to test for drugs and alcohol.

But the toxicology report came back NEGATIVE ... and now, the L.A. City Attorney's Office has decided NOT to pursue the case "due to insufficient evidence to proceed."
