Serena Williams has already chosen sides in the Caroline Wozniacki, Rory McIlroy break up -- telling Caroline she's got her back NO MATTER WHAT.

Wozniacki finally broke her silence Thursday morning ... on Twitter ... saying she's going through a "hard time right now" ever since Rory announced that he dumped her ass after mailing out wedding invitations because he got scared.

In her message on Twitter, the tennis star also noted that she supports the Liverpool soccer team right now because "I know I'll never walk alone."

Soccer Note -- "You'll Never Walk Alone" is the anthem of the Liverpool team, which just came off their best season in 20 years ... while Rory's favorite team Man U just came off one of it's worst.

After she posted the message, Serena Williams tweeted back at her ... writing, "I'll always walk with you #friendsforever."

More shots fired in Charles Barkley's war with San Antonio ... now the ex-NBA star is calling the fans "idiots" and warning them to keep their distance or he'll "BEAT THEY ASS DOWN!"

Of course, it all started a while back when Sir Chuck blasted the women of S.A. on "Inside the NBA" -- saying the city is overloaded with great, big, hulking fat women.

When Barkley arrived in S.A. last night for the NBA Playoffs, he was greeted with chants of "Barkley Sucks" -- so he went on the air and fired back saying, "I want them to know that I hear them and I'm not just gonna take it."

Barkley continued, "THEY SUCK TOO!"

He added, "Most of the people in S.A. have been great to me and they can take a joke ... talk is never gonna hurt me, but if they get too close, I'm gonna beat 'em like a drum."

It's gets worse ... and even more awkward for the Spurs star the "Inside the NBA" team was trying to interview during the segment.

NBA star Brandon Jennings is one step closer to marrying girlfriend Lashontae Heckard -- because the ex-video vixen has filed papers to END her domestic partnership with another woman ... TMZ Sports has learned.

There are rumblings that Jennings and Heckard are engaged -- but fact is, Heckard can't legally tie the knot until she terminates her relationship with a woman named Monique Blanton ... who she domestically partnered up with back in 2008.

According to court docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Lashontae took Monique's last name -- so, their relationship appears to have been more than just a way to save on taxes.

Either way, Tae notes in legal docs that she and Monique separated in 2011 ... citing irreconcilable differences.

TMZ Sports has just obtained the call a Burger King employee made to police in 2013 -- when she accused Jameis Winston of stealing soda from the restaurant ... and it's clear, SHE'S PISSED.

The call was made to a non-emergency police hotline by the assistant manager of a BK located right near the Florida State University campus on July 21, 2013.

According to cops, Winston allegedly entered the burger joint with 3 other men and began to fill ketchup cups with soda without paying for it.

During the call, the employee tells the operator she told Winston what he was doing was a crime -- but "he said he didn't care."

The employee noted Winston and his group were "causing a big scene out front" ... and were "fighting with me and refusing to leave."

Ultimately, the case was dropped when the manager of BK decided not to prosecute ... and Jameis went on to steal crab legs from a grocery store.

Aldon Smith just plead no contest to 3 felony weapons charges and 1 misdemeanor DUI charge in a Santa Clara, CA courtroom ... stemming from 2 separate incidents over the past 2 years.

The gun charges stem from a party at Smith's house back in 2012 -- at which he was stabbed, btw -- where cops found 3 illegal assault rifles.

The DUI stems from the an arrest in September 2013 ... where Smith crashed his car into a tree while allegedly drunk and in possession of weed.

Smith is due back in court for sentencing in July -- and faces up to 4 years in jail. It's unclear why he copped a plea without a sentencing deal in place.

3:30 PM PT -- WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

Congrats to Walter Ryan ... who submitted the winning nickname, "Meowiano Purrvera."

Enjoy the fight!

Elin Nordegren says "the word betrayal isn't strong enough" to describe how she felt when she learned Tiger Woods had been banging around behind her back ... but says she's finally moved on.

Aaron Hernandez's TATTOOS could unlock important information in his double murder case ... this according to cops who are now trying to track down AH's tat artists.

The Suffolk County D.A. issued a statement saying they are "seeking assistance" from anyone who put the needle to Aaron's RIGHT FOREARM in the aftermath of the 2012 drive-by shooting that killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.

Officials say they want information on "specific tattoos" they believe Hernandez got between February 2012 and June 2013 -- and it seems they believe AH got the tats to memorialize his role in the shooting.

Investigators are stressing that the tat artists are NOT accused of any wrongdoing ... they just want to see if they know anything.

We pulled up some photos of Aaron's arm from before and after the time period mentioned by cops -- and noticed one major difference ... stars.

Alex Guerrero -- the Dodgers minor league prospect who had part of his ear bitten off in a dugout fight Tuesday -- told cops immediately following the fight he did NOT want to press charges against the biter ... officials tell TMZ Sports.

Guerrero was allegedly attacked by Triple-A teammate Miguel Olivo during a minor league game in Salt Lake City -- with Olivo allegedly taking a bite out of Guerrero's ear.

Guerrero -- who signed a $28 million contract with the Dodgers -- is scheduled to have plastic surgery to reattach part of his lobe.

Now, the Salt Lake City PD tells us ... they were contacted by the hospital where Guerrero was treated -- and sent investigators to meet up with the injured player.

"Upon responding to the hospital and interviewing the man, the alleged victim declined to file a complaint," officials tell us ... "He didn't want to generate a report."

Guerrero told investigators he wants to consult with his lawyer and league officials-- and could change his mind ... and if that happens cops says, "If at any time the alleged victim does want to, we will take the report."

As for the fight, Olivo was reportedly pissed that Guerrero missed a tag on a play earlier in the game ... and the two had gone after each other on the pitcher's mound before the fight spilled into the dugout.

They stood together through Donald Sterling ... fought together through the playoffs ... but there's one thing driving a wedge through the L.A. Clippers -- Batman.

DeAndre Jordan and Glen "Big Baby" Davis were leaving Boa Steakhouse in L.A. last night when we asked a pretty harmless question ... favorite comic book movie.

They both said "Batman" -- but that's where the problems began.

DeAndre is all about the Christian Bale trilogy -- Big Baby explained why he's more of a Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton kind of a guy.

Novak Djokovic has donated 100% of his prize winnings from a tennis tournament in Rome to flood relief in Serbia ... a donation that totaled roughly $750,000.

Djokovic -- who hails from Serbia -- defeated Rafael Nadal to win the Rome Masters in Italy on Sunday ... and immediately dedicated the championship to the people who have died in the massive flooding in the Balkans. So far, at least 43 people are reported dead.

Now, Novak has announced he has donated the entire cash prize from the tourney -- €549,000 ... which is roughly $750k. Immediately following the tournament, Novak told the crowd, "It's also a special dedication to my country, which is suffering a lot right now. My heart is with them."

Just 5 months after poppin' the question ... and days after wedding invites went out ... golf superstar Rory McIlroy has BROKEN OFF HIS ENGAGEMENT to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.

Game loves the kids ... in fact, the rapper built a regulation size basketball court in his own front yard specifically for a youth basketball team he helped to fund ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The rapper sponsors an AAU basketball squad called the California Frog All-Stars -- named after a friend of his who was murdered last year.

Game -- who's extremely passionate about basketball -- told us he loves having the kids over to his L.A. home to train ... but knows his role ("I'm more like an owner") and leaves the coaching to the coaches and the NBA stars he brings in to teach the players.

So far, Game has already had New York Knicks superstar Tyson Chandler over to work with the team -- as well as Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozen.

Game tells us he hopes to grow his program -- and shares Snoop's goal of doing everything he can to send his players to the next level.

Pretty baller, right?

She's a regular Justin Purrlander ... or Clayton Furrshaw ... 'cause Hero Cat threw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game tonight -- AND CRUSHED IT!!

TMZ Sports has obtained pics of Hero Cat and Jeremy (pictured below) -- the little boy she saved from that vicious dog earlier this month -- taking the mound together at the Bakersfield Blaze game (the Class-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds).

Of course, the now famous cat-beats-dog incident took place only miles from the stadium -- and the Blaze reached out to honor their hometown hero.

We're told the crowd cheered like crazy for the pair -- and after the pitch, they stayed to take in the rest of the game from seats right near the CATcher.

Ha.
