L.A. Dodgers Star Sued Over Maserati- Smashing Car Crash

Published | Updated

Another interesting twist in James Loney's bizarre Maserati-crashing, eyelid-twitching, super-sweaty, breathalyzer-refusing incident -- TMZ has learned the L.A. Dodgers star has been sued over one of the cars he allegedly hit that day.

Mid-Century Insurance Company just filed a lawsuit against Loney -- claiming the baseball player CAUSED the infamous multi-car wreck in L.A. back in November ... and therefore he's liable for the $30,506.79 worth of damage to a 2008 Mercedes that was banged up in the pileup.

At the time of the crash, cops said Loney was acting incredibly strange ... and blamed the accident on another driver -- telling one officer, "The b*tch hit me from behind."

Cops said Loney didn't know what day it was ... and spit the mouthpiece of a breathalyzer at a cop when they tried to test him for booze.

Shockingly, Loney's toxicology tests came back NEGATIVE -- and officials decided not to prosecute him over the incident due to insufficient evidence.

Metta World Peace I Look Good in a GRIZZLIES Jersey

Published | Updated

It's either a sign of respect ... or a sign that he wants out of L.A. ... but Los Angeles Lakers star Metta World Peace donned a Vancouver Grizzlies jersey this weekend while rapping in Canada.

A couple of noteworthy points -- first, the Grizzlies left Vancouver in 2001 and moved to Memphis.

Second, the bar where Metta was rapping is located in Vancouver.

Still, an interesting move, considering Metta is in the middle of a 5-year $33 million contract he signed with the Lakers back in 2009 ... and when a team's paying you $33 MILLION ... you don't put on another team's uniform.

So, we gotta ask ...

Kris Humphries Sicks FBI on Ex-Flame

Published | Updated

Kris Humphries is no dummy when it comes to alleged extortion, because we've learned his lawyers contacted FBI agents Friday, claiming his ex-flame Myla Sinanaj tried to extort him by demanding a large sum of money, or else she'd release damaging information about their relationship to the media.

As we first reported, lawyers for Kris and Myla were jawboning Friday ... Kris' lawyers were trying to get her to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

As for why they want to muzzle her, sources connected with Myla say she has emails, texts and other documents chronicling their relationship that could hurt Kris if they became public.

Sources connected with Kris say ... Myla threatened that if she didn't get money she would "ruin" Kris. We're told the two sides could not reach an agreement, and that's when Kris' people decided to take it to the FBI.

Our Kris sources would not say whether the alleged extortion was in person, over the phone, via email or text, but we're told it is in some electronic form that would give the FBI jurisdiction to investigate the extortion allegation.

We reached out to Myla ... so far, no word back.

NBA Star Gilbert Arenas Buries the Hatchet with 'Basketball Wives' -- For Now

Published | Updated

It's a win-win situation for NBA star Gilbert Arenas -- a judge has granted his request to officially drop his lawsuit over his fiancée's role on "Basketball Wives" ... but gave him the option to bring it back whenever he likes.

If you recall, Arenas sued Shed Media last year in order to stop "BB Wives" from airing ... all because he felt his baby mama, Laura Govan, had no right to exploit his name on reality TV. When a court shot down his request to axe the show ... he continued to sue for cold, hard cash.

But after the former exes got engaged, Arenas changed his tune and asked for the suit to be dismissed, but only if he could still pick it back up -- a condition the the show vehemently begged a court not to allow.

Earlier this week, the court sided with Arenas ... dismissing the case like he asked and made it possible to bring back any time he wants (ya know if the whole marriage thing doesn't work out) ... and all Arenas has to do is cover the show's attorney fees to the tune of $32,618.

A small price to pay ... for freedom to sue your loved ones' show.

Kris Humphries It's Not What You Think

Published | Updated

Kris Humphries was once again spotted on the beach in Miami with a mystery girl ... but TMZ has already cracked the mystery.

The girl is Kris' nutritionist, Tracy Paradise, and we're told there is absolutely nothing romantic between the two. Our sources say she works Kris out when his other trainers are not available (not like that, you pervs) and sometimes serves as his assistant.

Considering how things seem to have ended with Myla Sinanaj -- confidentiality agreements are never good for a relationship -- it's fair to say Kris will take it easy on dating for now.

Manny Pacquiao Fight Was the Fix In?

Published | Updated

Manny Pacquiao lost a VERY controversial split decision last night to Timothy Bradley, setting the stage for a rematch ... that seemingly was already in the works! Something smells fishy ...

The internet set on fire last night when Pacquiao was declared the loser ... even though anyone with two eyes (or even one) could see he won the fight easily.

Our good friends over at TheBigLead.com point out ... Bradley tweeted a photo of a poster for the rematch back on May 29. Most experts agree that a decisive Manny victory would have meant no rematch.

So we gotta ask ...

MLB Star Vladimir Guerrero My Baby Mamas Cost $25k/Month, But It's Cool

Published | Updated

Former MLB star Vladimir Guerrero should be sweating the thousands of dollars he owes in child support to FIVE different baby-mamas ... but turns out the baseball star is loaded with over $25 million in the bank, this according to legal docs.

A new paternity lawsuit filed by Heidy Ogando required Guerrero to reveal his finances -- and turns out he has 8 children with 5 different women ... and shells out $25,621 a month in child support.

Baby Mama #1 (1 kid): $5,237
Baby Mama #2 (1 kid): $3,214
Baby Mama #3 (2 kids):$1,655
Baby Mama #4 (2 kids): $3,465
Heidy as listed in the suit (2 kids): $12,050

In fact, Vlad lists his total monthly expenses at more than 70k, which might be a big problem for a guy who doesn't currently have a major league contract -- but it seems VG is smarter than the average jock.

According to the docs, Vlad has more than $25 million in stocks and bonds -- accumulated over his 16-year MLB career.

Looks like he can keep swinging for the fences ... in bed.
