Erin Andrews broke down on the stand Monday as she testified about how she learned she was secretly recorded through a peephole in her Nashville hotel room in 2008 by Michael David Barrett.

Andrews' testimony was part of her $75 million lawsuit against the Nashville Marriott and Barrett ... who got a two-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to interstate stalking.

Her father Steve testified last Wednesday, saying his daughter is "a shell of her former self" because of the video.

Houston Texans WR Jaelen Strong was arrested in Scottsdale, AZ this weekend -- after cops say he admitted to smoking weed without a medical card.

Strong -- who was a superstar at Arizona State -- was busted Sunday night ... after the car he was in was stopped for not having visible license plates.

When cops approached the vehicle ... officers say another NFL player was also in the car -- GB Packers cornerback Damarious Randall (who also went to ASU).

Cops say the car reeked of weed -- and Strong ultimately admitted to smoking the weed. Cops say he also handed over a cigar box with 3 joints inside.

Another big star dropping a sneaker ... this time it's Kevin Hart who says there's a big difference between his and the Yeezys and the OVOs ... 'cause normies can actually afford them.

Kevin hit the Grove in L.A. to do a promo event for the "Hustle Harts" -- his fitness shoe with Nike -- when we asked the question everyone wants to know ... how much are these bad boys gonna cost?

It's a good question ... other celebrity shoe lines are hitting pockets harder than Mike Tyson in his prime ... with some of the Kanye West and Drake shoes running into four figures on the secondary market.

Check out the clip -- Kevin says his kicks are function over fashion ... and hilariously bristles at the notion that anyone's shoes could cost that much money.

11:50 AM PT -- We spoke with Cantor's lawyer who tells us ... the 59-year-old man was at the game with his son when he reached out with his hand to block the puck from hitting his kid's face.

We're told Cantor was struck in the left thumb -- leaving him with significant damage to his thumb, hand and shoulder ... damage which required surgery to repair.

A hockey fan who says he was hit by a puck at a NY Rangers game is suing the team -- claiming he was permanently injured during a 2013 game ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The man behind the suit is Robert Cantor -- who claims he was in the stands at Madison Square Garden on March 3, 2013 to watch the Rangers play the Sabres when things went terribly wrong.

In his suit, filed in state court in NY, Cantor claims he was "struck by a high speed projectile (puck) and [sustained] severe and permanent injuries."

Cantor says he suffered pain, shock and mental anguish and is unable to perform normal activities.

Chris Paul has something in common with Floyd Mayweather -- they both LOVE Justin Bieber ... and considers his friendship nothing short of a "blessing."

Paul opened up about his relationship with the singer to For the Win -- when he was asked if his 6-year-old son, Chris, had an influence on his playlist.

"A lot. It’s funny my son’s favorite artist is Justin Bieber and it’s been that way for awhile. I feel so blessed and fortunate to know Justin and Scooter Braun, who works with Justin."

CP3 then goes on to explain how they became friends ...

"When little Chris was about two years old, Justin came to a game and little Chris sat with him and then I took him to a concert and now anytime we go to the bus stop [we listen to] Bieber. If it’s not ‘Austin and Ally’ then it’s Justin Bieber all day.”

So, what's his favorite Bieber hit?

Here's Marshawn Lynch vibin' on a camel while blasting Bay Area hip-hop during a goodwill trip to Egypt ... and it's awesome!!!

As we previously reported, Lynch -- along with 9 other NFL stars -- are in pyramid country as part of the American Football Without Borders camp ... bringing the sport to countries where it's not super popular.

But the guys also made time to take in the local culture -- including cruising through the desert on a camel!!!

Check out Lynch gettin' down to "F**k It Up" by rapper Tay Way ... who, like Marshawn, is from the Bay Area. The guides bumpin' the music is pretty hilarious.

There's more ... we also got footage of Dolphins tight end Jordan Cameron catching passes on one of the pyramids (don't worry, he's got great hands -- the pyramid was never in danger).

A drug mule tried to put the "sneak" in sneakers last week -- but got busted at JFK with $90,000 worth of heroin in 3 pairs of Nike Air Force 1s ... officials say.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the drug mover was on a flight from the Dominican Republic -- and when he got to the inspection, officials noticed his shoes were unusually heavy.

In the end, officials say they found 3 POUNDS of heroin hidden in the kicks ... with an estimated street value of $90,000!!!

The perp was arrested and handed over to Homeland Security -- and now faces federal drug smuggling charges.

Egypt was Anubis-pound territory this week ('cause he's part dawg) with Cleveland Browns TE Gary Barnidge owning Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams in front of the pyramids ... and it was all on video!

The guys are both in Egypt as part of the American Football Without Barriers camp -- which exposes football to parts of the world where it isn't exactly super popular ... like Egypt.

And as Williams was trying to proudly show off his Steelers gear for the camera ... Barnidge snuck in from behind with a pretty solid prank.

As we previously reported, 10 NFL stars are currently on the trip ... including Marshawn Lynch who got on a camel to pose with the gang out in Giza (he's one of the guys below).

Former L.A. Lakers player Samaki Walker is adamant he did NOT attack his girlfriend in a motel parking lot last week ... though his accuser says Walker was violent and is lying through his teeth.

Here's what we know ... both Walker and his accuser Unique Allen (who gave us permission to use her name) had an altercation at a motel in Encino, CA early Thursday morning.

Allen tells TMZ Sports ... the argument (which started in their room) moved to the parking lot -- but when the two got inside Samaki's Range Rover, he struck her several times in the jaw and arm.

Allen says Walker also choked her. Allen sent us a photo showing what she claims is bruising on her arm.

Cops were called to the scene regarding a fight between a man and a woman in an SUV -- but the two were gone by the time cops arrived.

40-year-old Walker tells us he absolutely did NOT strike Allen during the dispute -- and says she was the aggressor ... hitting him multiple times though he swears he did not strike back.

Allen has NOT filed a police report, but says she is still considering her legal options.

Michael Rapaport perfectly captured what all of us were feeling when someone other than Sylvester Stallone won the Best Supporting Actor award Sunday night ... "WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON?!"

You gotta watch the video ... Rapaport goes off when Stallone was upset by someone named Mark Rylance.

"YOU MOTHER F**KERS! WHO THE F**K IS THIS?!"

Hilarious.

By the way, Sly's friend Arnold Schwarzenegger also had a message for the actor -- but there's not as much yelling and cussing.

Oscar time in L.A. ain't just for the (white) movie stars ... some of the biggest names in sports come out too .. and they were looking their best Sunday night.

Serena Williams, Aaron Rodgers, Robert Kraft and GRONK all took part in the Tinseltown festivities ... most opting for the Vanity Fair after-party in Beverly Hills.

So, who looked the best? Hard not to go Serena here ... but Aaron Rodgers seemed to have the entire media talking about his classic look ... and his smokin' hot date Olivia Munn.

But yeah, it was Serena ... check out the pics.

First off ... props to Aaron Rodgers and his girlfriend Olivia Munn for reaching into their pockets and shelling out some cash to help the Girl Scouts at the Oscars Sunday night.

That being said ... WHO THE HELL BUYS SAVANNAH SMILES?!

(FYI, Savannah Smiles are zesty, lemon-flavored cookies dusted with powdered sugar ... which sound fine, but they're no Thin Mints).

The good news ... Munn got a full box of Thin Mints, because she clearly has taste.

Oscars host Chris Rock says he ultimately raised more than $65k in his Oscars Girl Scout cookies stunt -- including $20 from Vice President Joe Biden.

Hopefully, he got something better than SAVANNAH SMILES!!!

A celebrity doctor who's famously treated tons of Hollywood stars has a message for embattled NFL defensive end Dante Fowler -- CALL ME, I CAN HELP YOU!!!!

Johnny Manziel spent his Thursday night pounding champagne in a hot Miami nightclub -- a bizarre way to spend the night hours after officials announced his domestic violence case was going to a grand jury.

TMZ Sports spoke with multiple witnesses (including a staff member) -- and obtained video -- showing the embattled QB drinking straight from what appears to be a champagne bottle at Story nightclub in Miami.

Manziel tried to go semi-incognito in a big hat and sunglasses ... but it's obvious it's Manziel.

Hours before Johnny hit the club, the Dallas PD announced the investigation into allegations Manziel struck Colleen Crowley on Jan. 30th was sent to the grand jury, which will decide if charges should be filed against him.

There's a lot at stake for Johnny ... not just his NFL career, but jail time is on the table if he's ultimately convicted of misdemeanor assault/domestic violence.

Maybe the move to party is to show people he's not worried -- but it doesn't seem like the best PR move to us, considering his past ... a past that includes a stint in a treatment center (though he never said what the treatment was for).

Kate Upton is squarely on team Ashley Graham in the plus sized model brouhaha.

Kate apparently didn't hear what former SI Model Cheryl Tiegs had to say about Ashley ... that the whole deal is "unhealthy."

WNBA star Brittney Griner has LOST the battle over her Keurig coffee maker -- and will hand it over to her estranged wife as part of the terms of their split ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It's the latest development in one of the nastiest breakups in pro sports history -- with WNBA players Griner and Glory Johnson finally agreeing on how to divvy up their stuff.

The good news for Brittney ... she won't have to pay spousal support and gets to keep their home in Arizona.

But Glory made out pretty well too -- according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Griner has agreed to pack and ship several items including:

-- Johnson's wedding dress
-- The griddle/grill
-- The steamer
-- 1 wine cooler
-- The Keurig coffee maker
-- The juicer

Britney also has to cut a check for $25,000 ... PLUS she has to cover the $2,326 debt to Kay Jewelers for the cost of her own wedding ring.

The war is far from over -- the two are still fighting over several other issues ... including the twin babies Johnson was pregnant with during their relationship.
