With his future on the Patriots in question, Chad Ochocinco is trying to do good by anyone he can -- in this case NYC -- dropping nearly $8,000 on a massive fried chicken dinner last night ... for 200 local fans.

In case you don't follow him on Twitter -- the football stud sent an open invite to anyone in the New York area ... offering a free dinner to the first 200 people to show up at the famous Sylvia's soul food restaurant in Harlem.

Needless to say, hordes of people came -- just check our video for proof -- and sources tell us, Ocho treated the hungry mob to a full array of Southern-style deliciousness ... including BBQ ribs, fried chicken, mac & cheese, and red velvet cupcakes.

Sources at the restaurant tell TMZ, Ocho spent $7,914 on grub altogether -- but they wouldn't specify how much he tipped.

Pittsburgh Steelers legend Hines Ward had ONE concern during his DUI arrest last summer ... the media finding out about it -- this according to police dash cam footage obtained by TMZ.

During the tape, Ward asks one of the arresting officers, "This going to be all on the newspaper though?" The officer replies, "Only if you tell somebody."

DUI is no laughing matter -- but there is one funny moment, when Hines was sitting in the back of the squad car and the officer slammed on the brakes ... sending Ward's forehead into the plastic divider.

TMZ broke the story -- Ward was arrested in DeKalb County, Georgia last July after a police officer observed the football star failing to maintain lane in his Aston Martin ... and hitting a curb.

Michael Vick is conquering his economic demons with a VENGEANCE -- tackling creditors in his bankruptcy case left and right ... and TMZ has learned, he's just a paycheck away from total financial freedom.

You'll recall ... Vick filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2008 after the infamous dog-fighting scandal -- when he lost his NFL salary and several lucrative endorsement deals. According to court docs, Vick owed approximately $20 MILLION to dozens of creditors.

But Vick's been busting his ass to pay off his debts ever since he was reinstated with the Eagles in 2009 -- in fact, according to a new filing in his bankruptcy case, he's already reduced his outstanding debt to less than $400,000.

According to the docs, the outstanding debt is owed to Bank of America (related to one of his properties), BMW financial services, and his friendly neighborhood tax collector.

Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada have signed their deal to do a "Basketball Wives" spinoff show with VH1 ... and they each have 300,000 reasons to celebrate ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, filming on the new show will begin in the next few weeks, right after taping for "Wives" ends. We're told the show will focus on the couple as they get ready to exchange vows this summer.

Our sources say negotiations finally wrapped last week and the two will each take home $300,000 for about two months of work.

As TMZ first reported, when Evelyn re-upped her contract with "Basketball Wives" last year, part of the deal called for VH1 to give her and Chad their own show.

LA Dodgers star Matt Kemp (and his $160 million contract) wants to unload a fancy-schmancy LA condo -- in the same building where Larry King also owns a place -- and it can be allllllll yours for a cool $2.5 MILLION.

The swanky 2-bdrm, 2-bath pad -- located at the glitzy Carlyle Residences -- is 2700 sq. feet of AWESOME with marble baths, outdoor terrace and a GINORMOUS master suite.

Also included for your millions ... a full service doorman, valet, climate-controlled pool, private elevator for EACH resident, wine cellar and round the clock concierge service ... for all your late night Taco Bell cravings.

EMTs came to the aid of Hall of Fame baseball player Frank Robinson during today's Los Angeles Lakers games against the Boston Celtics ... TMZ has learned.

According to a witness, Robinson was attended to during the fourth quarter of the game. He appeared to be in stable condition after medical workers checked him out, which included taking his blood pressure.

Robinson left before the game ended, walking under his own power while being escorted out by a few EMTs.

Robinson, 76, had 586 career home runs during his playing days and is the only player to win league MVP honors in both the National and American Leagues.

Sources close to Kris Humphries say he has no beef with the story we posted yesterday -- that he made a bundle off of his wedding to Kim Kardashian -- but according to Kris' camp ... the bballer hasn't seen a penny and Kim has it all.

We're told before they were hitched ... Kim and Kris opened a joint account in which they deposited all the money they made from the wedding and other ventures. Our sources say Kris did indeed get money for selling wedding photos and appearing on the Kardashian reality show ... but they say all that money went into the joint account and Kris never got any of it.

Here's what's perplexing. Since it was a joint account, Kris would have as much access to the money as Kim. But sources connected to Kris say he's never attempted to withdraw any of it.

As we reported yesterday ... Kris wants millions from Kim as part of the divorce settlement, even though they were together in marriage for only 72 days.

Sources close to Kris tell us ... he doesn't even care about the money -- all he wants is an annulment.

Problem for Kris is .... in order to get an annulment, he has to prove the marriage was fraudulent, and that's going to be tough.

Kris' lawyer had no comment.

More bad news for former baseball player Lenny Dykstra -- not only was he just sentenced to three years behind bars for felony grand theft auto, but he's currently in debt to the state of California for nearly 30 grand.

According to docs filed last month at the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office, Lenny is delinquent on taxes from 2008 and 2009 to the tune of $29,571.12.

Lenny has gotten some good news lately ... he probably won't serve most of his three years in prison and he was given permission to attend the funeral of former teammate Gary Carter.

Glass half full?

Four years after his team left Seattle for the Midwest, NBA superstar Kevin Durant is finally severing his last tie with Emerald City -- he's putting his house up for sale.

Durant was a member of the Seattle SuperSonics for just one season before the team moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. Kevin has kept a home in Mercer Island ever since, but has now listed the 5,910 sq. foot home for $2.799 million.

The home -- which is listed by The Campins Company, owned by former "Apprentice" contestant Katrina Campins -- features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a home theater, and a state of the art security system.

Touchdown-machine Santonio Holmes better not get too attached to his giant new paycheck from the Jets -- because TMZ has learned, a woman he knocked up back in 2002 wants a fat raise ... in child support.

Just months after Holmes signed a 5-year deal with the Jets worth nearly $50 million, a woman named Nicole King has filed a petition in Florida for child support modification ... demanding way more money from the star wide receiver.

King cites Holmes' new contract in the docs -- claiming, "There has been a substantial change in circumstances in that [Holmes'] income has substantially increased since the entry of the final judgment and the needs to the child have increased."

King doesn't specify how much extra cash she wants now that Holmes is rolling in more dough than ever -- but according to the current child support order, Holmes is already required to pay the woman $4,000 a month ... and even buy her a house.

Kris Humphries is secretly demanding $7 MILLION from Kim Kardashian to walk away from their marriage ... TMZ has learned.

Sources directly connected to Kris tell TMZ ... the bballer -- through his Minnesota lawyer -- has given Kim an ultimatum ... either pay up, or endure an ugly, public trial.

Our sources say Kris and his lawyer have been told to pound sand, and with good reason.

For starters, even if there wasn't a prenup, the marriage lasted a grand total of 72 days, so the community property wouldn't be in the universe of $7 mil.

Second, there was an iron-clad prenup, which provided that Kim owes Kris zilch.

Third, Kris actually MADE MONEY from the marriage. Sources tell us ... Kris raked in around $1 mil from the wedding and the TV special that showcased the nuptials. And Kris made off like a bandit because Kim ended up using a portion of what she got to pay for the ring.

In addition, we're told Kris made somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000 from the Kardashian reality show.

Allen Iverson's highly-publicized money troubles might be taking a turn for the better for a change -- because a judge has ruled the former NBA star is still entitled to a $4 million judgment ... if he can get his hands on it.

Iverson won a lawsuit back in 2010 against Martin Sepulveda over a house Iverson purchased in Georgia that had major construction defects ... so much so that Allen and his then-wife were forced to move out.

A.I. scored a $4 million judgment, but later in 2010 ... Sepulveda filed for bankruptcy, putting Iverson's big pay day in jeopardy.

But a federal court judge ruled last month in Iverson's favor, saying the debt could not be discharged and Iverson was still owed the giant chunk of change.

Deion Sanders is re-joining the ranks of reality TV stars -- but TMZ has learned Prime's new project will center around his other new project ... a charter school in Texas.

Sources close to Sanders tell TMZ the legendary NFL star is working on a show that will focus on Deion and his work coaching the football team at Prime Academy, the school Deion is opening later this year.

We're told the show will also show Deion off the field ... as a single father raising his kids. Our sources say Deion does not want the show to slant negative or bash anyone ... such as his ex-wife Pilar.

According to our sources, the show will be executive produced by Tracey Edmonds, the ex of Babyface and Eddie Murphy, who was recently dragged into Deion's divorce and has produced several shows and movies. Sources close to Deion tell us he first approached Tracey about the show after he filed for divorce.

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco (soon to be Johnson again) are busy formulating their wedding guest list -- and Evelyn says that while Chad's superstar teammate Tom Brady is invited ... she doesn't sound so sure he'll attend!

We caught up with Evelyn in NYC yesterday where she said paring down the guest list and deciding who sits near who has been the toughest part of the planning process.

Evelyn said she's only inviting some of her "Basketball Wives" co-stars (we're told Jennifer Williams won't be invited), but she did extend an invite to Tom and Gisele. She told us, "They are invited. I hope they come. They have a busy schedule."

Michael Vick is finally speaking out about his troubled younger brother Marcus Vick ... telling TMZ he hopes the former college football star "will learn" from his current stint behind bars.

As we previously reported, Marcus Vick is serving 10 days in a Newport News, Virginia jail for failing to appear at 2 court dates stemming from a driving on a suspended license charge.

Now, Michael tells TMZ, "Marcus is now taking responsibility for his actions. I hope he will learn from this and move forward in the right direction.”

Kris Humphries has filed legal documents in his divorce case appointing himself as his own lawyer ... TMZ has learned.

Kris -- who makes $8 mil a year with the New Jersey Nets -- wanted his Minnesota business lawyer to rep him in the Kim Kardashian divorce. But in California, an out-of-state lawyer must have a local attorney by his side. So Kris hired a Los Angeles lawyer.

But we found out the L.A. lawyer has withdrawn from the case, so the Minnesota lawyer doesn't have a sponsor anymore. Translation: Mr. Minnesota is persona non grata in court.

As if that's not bad enough for Kris ... guess who he's squaring off with in court? That would be disso-queen Laura Wasser, one of the most powerful divorce lawyers in Hollywood with a celeb roster that includes Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Ryan Reynolds, Kiefer Sutherland, Stevie Wonder ... get the picture.

Bottom line -- Kris has no chance on this court ...
