Oakland Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey insists ... he didn't drive drunk on a San Francisco bridge last month -- pleading "not guilty" to DUI today in a California court.

As we previously reported, Darrius was charged with DUI a couple weeks ago -- after allegedly driving while intoxicated on the Bay Bridge early in the morning on April 7th.

According to police, Darrius was pulled over for speeding and weaving in his lane. Officers administered a field sobriety test ... and Darrius didn't do so well. He was cited for DUI and later released.

TMZ has obtained the mug shot for UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones -- snapped moments after the fighter was arrested for DUI last week in upstate New York.

TMZ broke the story, the 24-year-old was popped May 19th in Binghamton after crashing his $250,000 Bentley into a pole, totaling the car.

According to law enforcement, there were two 25-year-old women in Jones' car at the time of the accident. Both were taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries. Neither woman was Jones' fiancee.

Jones' license has been suspended and he's due back in court June 19th.

Terrell Owens got the crappiest severance package ever when his indoor football league team fired him this week -- an eviction notice, plus a piddly $50 buyout for his 50% stake in the team ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to T.O. tell TMZ the Allen Wranglers notified their star player, in writing, he had 48 hours to get out of the house they provided him -- and to hand over the keys to the 2012 Jeep Cherokee they gave him to tool around the Texas town.

But the biggest diss of all -- the $50 check the Wranglers wrote T.O. to repurchase his hefty share of the team's ownership! The financial screwing is most likely tied to the team's belief that T.O. breached his contract by missing a charity event and sitting out 2 away games.

But we're told T.O. is saying his contract allowed him to skip away games. As for the missed event ... we're told T.O. claims the team publicist told him the wrong date.

The whole matter could be settled in court -- as TMZ reported, T.O. is consulting with his lawyers since he feels he was wrongfully terminated and slandered in the team's media release regarding his firing.

The Wranglers have not returned calls for comment.

NBA legend Allen Iverson believes his wife should be locked up for ransacking his house while he was out of the country -- this according to new legal docs.

A.I. recently filed a motion for contempt in Georgia against his estranged wife Tawanna Iverson, claiming he had a basketball gig in Asia earlier this month ... and when he returned home, his house was totally gutted.

According to the docs, Iverson's wife infiltrated his home while he was gone -- pillaging furniture, art, memorabilia ... and a large sum of cash.

Iverson says he's asked Tawanna several times to return the stuff -- but so far, she's refused. Tawannna and A.I. have been warring since she filed for divorce last year. Last month she requested a restraining order, claiming her ex was harassing and threatening her.

Now, A.I. wants a judge to hold Tawanna in contempt for harassing him ... and throw her in jail ... at least until she returns the stolen goods. He also wants an order barring her from entering the home.

Former boxing champ Johnny Tapia's wife believes her husband used illegal narcotics in the week before his death -- this according to law enforcement.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the police report taken after Johnny's body was found in his New Mexico home this past weekend -- and according to the document, Teresa's suspicions stem from Johnny's longstanding drug problems. Teresa said she had no evidence to back it up.

Police found no proof of illegal drugs in the home, but did come across a locked safe filled with prescription meds -- including Hydrocodone (generic Vicodin) and Quetiapine (a drug used to treat schizophrenia).

Cops say they also found a Hydrocodone pill by Johnny's body.

Family members told police Johnny had been complaining of stomach problems in the hours before his death -- which might explain the Pepto Bismol cops also found on the scene.

Terrell Owens ain't taking his latest pink slip laying down -- TMZ's learned he's considering a lawsuit against the Allen Wranglers ... claiming they breached his contract when they 86'd him yesterday.

Sources close to T.O. tell us the former NFL superstar is pissed because Wranglers execs blasted him for skipping a team appearance at a children's hospital. We're told T.O. believes he was not required to attend the event by the terms of his contract -- and as a result he feels the team is in breach.

A rep for T.O. confirms he's considering a lawsuit, saying ... "Mr. Owens' legal team is addressing the details of the Wranglers release statement."

The rep added, T.O. "played all games according to his contractual agreement and was proud to be part of the IFL and the Allen Wranglers."

For his part, T.O. is only saying he wishes "the Allen Wranglers all the best moving forward."

In court?

Terrell Owens -- once considered a lock for the NFL Hall of Fame -- has been released from the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League ... and his infamous prima donna ways are to blame.

Team president Tommy Benizio tells TMZ the decision was "performance based" -- but says the final straw was T.O. skipping a recent team visit to a children's hospital in Allen, TX.

This was T.O.'s first season with the Wranglers ... and when he announced the move to the IFL in January it was considered a huge fall from grace for a former NFL superstar.

T.O. put up 10 touchdowns in 8 games for the Wranglers, and had hoped his performance would get him back into the NFL. T.O.'s been trying to impress teams for years ... back in 2010, he flaunted his athleticism for a TMZ camera guy.

By the way, Benizio says T.O.'s also been cut from the Wranglers' ownership group.

Smoking hot UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste kicked her boyfriend straight in the nose this weekend in Vegas, inciting a blowout argument that eventually led to her arrest -- this according to the police report for the incident.

According to the report, 26-year-old Arianny and her 34-year-old boyfriend Praveen Chandra were arguing inside a limousine early Saturday morning when Arianny kicked him in the face.

Arianny later told cops the fight was over text messages Chandra had sent to other women -- but the report isn't specific.

According to the report, the argument escalated inside the couple's Wynn hotel room. A hotel employee heard crashing sounds and responded to the room around 4:30 AM, when Arianny came running out.

Police were called -- and Arianny told officers Chandra had choked her and grabbed her arm inside the room. Cops observed marks on Arianny's body.

Chandra told cops Arianny had kicked him in the face -- and after the argument moved inside the hotel ... she threw two vases at him.

TMZ has obtained the mug shot of UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste -- snapped moments after the model's domestic violence arrest this weekend ... and it was obviously an extremely emotional experience.

TMZ broke the story ... Arianny was arrested early Saturday morning in Nevada on suspicion of domestic violence. The circumstances surrounding the arrest are still unclear.

Arianny spent about 12 hours in custody before she was released.

Dennis Rodman's just learned a hard lesson about not paying child support -- if you don't a judge will come down on you like a hammer.

An Orange County judge just held Rodman in contempt for raking up a whopping $808,935 in unpaid child support for his 9- and 10-year-old children -- and an additional $51,441 in unpaid spousal support.

Rodman was placed on 3 years probation and ordered to perform 104 hours of community service.

While on probation, Rodman is required to stay current with child support and cover alimony. It's unclear how he's gonna dig himself out of the hole.

Dennis previously responded to his ex-wife's demands, saying he couldn't pay because he's broke. According to Dennis, Michelle's six-figure child support bill is based on a $50,000-a-month child support order she obtained behind his back. Rodman's been fighting it since 2010.

Clearly, the judge wasn't buying what Dennis was selling.

UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones just pled guilty to DUI -- after his boozy arrest last week in upstate New York.

TMZ broke the story, the 24-year-old was popped in Binghamton May 19th after crashing his Bentley into a pole, totaling the car.

Jones posted an apologetic message on his Facebook after the arrest, writing, "I screwed up, big time." The message was subsequently deleted (shocker).

A rep for the Broome County D.A.'s office tells TMZ, Jones refused a breathalyzer at the time of his arrest, but admitted he had been drinking.

Authorities will perform an autopsy on Johnny Tapia today -- two days after the former boxing champ was mysteriously found dead in his home ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the New Mexico Medical Examiner's Office has scheduled the autopsy ... which will include toxicology testing to determine an exact cause of death.

As we previously reported, the five time champ's body was found by a family member on Sunday evening. Police have said there was nothing suspicious about the death.

In an odd bit of foreshadowing, Justin Bieber hung out with Mike Tyson and got some boxing tips from the legendary fighter just days before his alleged run-in with a paparazzo.

Check out the Biebs working the heavy bag with Tyson. They posed for a pic with another guy, which Tyson tweeted with the caption, "Me, @john and @justinbieber before we started training JB"

As TMZ first reported, Bieber is now a suspect in a criminal battery after Bieber allegedly got into it with a photog in Calabasas. Cops were called to the scene -- Bieber and GF Selena Gomez had already split -- and the photog was transported to a nearby hospital and later released.

Witnesses say the pap incited Bieber and got tips from a lawyer at the scene about calling an ambulance and filing a police report.

Kind of.

Boxer Johnny Tapia was found dead Sunday in New Mexico, this according to local police.

Family members say Albuquerque police were summoned to Tapia's house at 7:45 PM Sunday by a family member who discovered the body.

Cops say the death does not appear suspicious, but an official cause has not been determined.

Tapia is a 5-time world champ. His life was marked by tragedy. Tapia's dad was murdered while his mom was pregnant with him. And when Tapia was 8, his mother was kidnapped, raped and hanged.

Tapia was admitted to the hospital in 2007 in critical condition from a cocaine OD. The day after he was admitted, his brother-in-law and nephew were killed in a car accident on their way to visit him.
