NBA Star Al Harrington WELCOME TO KARDASHIAN COUNTRY!
Bieber did it. The Kardashians did it. And now, NBA star Al Harrington did it -- he just bought a mansion in Calabasas ... TMZ Sports has learned.
The Washington Wizards star -- who's played in the league for 15 seasons -- was out at The Commons in his Rolls Royce Phantom (he'll fit right in) ... when we told him all about his celebrity neighbors.
Check out the clip -- we give Harrington the 411 on his new hood ... though, we did have to break the news that Justin Bieber moved out.
Don't worry Al -- ya still got Selena Gomez!!!
Ray Rice & Wife LOOK HOW HAPPY WE ARE (Seriously, Please Look)
In yet another attempt to prove everything is cool between them, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his wife Janay posed for a couply, non-violent photo together on Instagram.
Janay -- who previously apologized for her role in allegedly getting K.O.'d in an Atlantic City casino -- included the message, "We gon show the world the definition of real #therices #usagainsttheworld."
Of course, Ray & Janay were arrested back in February after an alleged physical altercation at the Revel casino ... and cameras captured Ray dragging Janay's unconscious body out of an elevator.
Just last month, the two addressed the media and said they felt counseling after the incident has helped them grow closer as a couple.
You buyin' it? They hope you are.
Johnny Manziel PENIS CLEARED OF WRONGDOING Hoax Lawsuit Thrown Out
Good news for Johnny Manziel ... and his penis ... a Florida judge has just THROWN OUT the $25 MILLION hoax lawsuit filed against him ... and ripped the dumbass who filed it in the first place.
You know the lawsuit ... some wannabe prankster filed actual, legal documents in District Court in Florida posing as HLN host Samantha Schacher -- when, in fact, the prankster is a man.
In the bogus lawsuit, the hoaxster claimed the NFL star bombarded "her" with naked selfies and X-rated videos ... including a clip where he was "jingling" his penis to the tune of 'It's a Small World."
Well, it didn't take long for a judge to call B.S. -- and last week, Judge Steven D. Merryday dismissed the suit ... calling it "immaterial, impertinent and scandalous."
Translation ... Johnny's dong is off the hook.
Donald Sterling 'Get The F*** Outta Here!'
The always charming Donald Sterling ran a clinic on "How to Win Friends and Influence People" yesterday ... when a photog asked the disgraced Clippers owner how he was doing.
Sterling's response -- well, he basically told our guy to go F himself.
It's not like Donald's got a lot to be happy about these days -- his estranged wife sold his team, he's been banned for life from the NBA and he's being sued by an alleged former employee who claims D.S. subjected her to a bunch of offensive comments.
Hard to believe, right?!

'Big Time Rush' Star POSSIBLE DRONE SIGHTING At Secret Service Golf Tourney
What do Secret Service members do when they're not protecting the President ... or boozing in Colombia?? THEY GOLF!!!
And at a recent Secret Service charity golf tournament in L.A., there was definitely some sort of drone keeping watch from the sky.
TMZ Sports has obtained footage showing a fast-moving flying object hovering over the event -- where stars like Kendall Schmidt -- the lead singer from "Big Time Rush" who joined current and past agents on the links at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes.
We're told the event raised a ton of cash for families of former agents ... including $2,500 from Schmidt, who sponsored the first tee.
As for the U.F.O. ... our sources on the course tell us the drone hovered over the area throughout the day, zipping around the sky. Unclear if was it was keeping watch over the agents ... or just recording the action for fun.

Chris Paul Geeks Out Over Kelly Kapowski Autograph 'She Was My 1st Love'
Chris Paul musta been super jealous of Zack Morris as a kid ... because the NBA superstar was OBSESSED with Kelly Kapowski ... which is why he freaked out when she gave him a signed pic for his birthday last month.
Paul just revealed the gift -- a personalized autographed pic of Tiffani Thiessen that read, "Happy birthday my dear."
Paul said the pic was "easily one of the best Bday gifts I've ever received in my 29yrs on this Earth!!! #KellyKapowski #My1stLove #WeWereTogether #SheJustDidntKnowIt #CuzImSavedBytheBell"
After he posted the pic, another huge sports star chimed in -- Andy Roddick -- who wrote, "I'l literally am having issues containing my jealousy ... Back off CP!"

Muggsy Bogues 'REAL MEN DO YOGA' ... Even Short Ones!
Here's a short story -- Muggsy Bogues is doing yoga now ... and TMZ Sports has the pics!
The 5'3" NBA legend is a newbie to the practice ... but he's already falling in love with it.
In fact, the 49-year-old hosted a big yoga event in Charlotte this weekend with 6'5" Carolina Panthers lineman Byron Bell.
But Bogues says size doesn't matter when you're on the mat -- telling TMZ Sports, "As the smallest player to ever play [in the NBA], doing yoga comes quite natural to me."
He added, "So when I hit the child's pose position, I felt like I was in a crib."
Nate Robinson Rocks $5,000 Yeezys to Dinner 'I'd Wear 'Em With a Suit'
NBA star Nate Robinson didn't drop thousands of dollars on some ultra-rare Nike Air Yeezys to keep them in his closet -- he rocked 'em out to dinner last night ... and tells TMZ Sports they also work with a suit.
The Denver Nuggets point guard hit up Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Monday sportin' a pair of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October kicks ... which usually run around $5k -- with some pairs selling for THREE times that much.
The Red Octobers are one of the most bootlegged sneakers on the market right now -- with Kanye famously calling out a fan who had fake Yeezys in Paris last month. But Nate insists his shoes are the real deal.
But the real question ... when you drop $5k on a sneaker, can you pull 'em off with formal wear??
Check out what Nate has to say.
Rev. Al Sharpton I'm Meeting with NBA Commish To Prevent Another Sterling Debacle
The Rev and The Commish will meet face-to-face in NYC tomorrow -- for a closed-door meeting about the L.A. Clippers and how the league should handle civil rights issues in the future.
Al Sharpton and Adam Silver are all set to sit down together at NBA headquarters at noon tomorrow -- it seems Silver wants to make sure they're on the same page should another racist Donald Sterling situation come up during Silver's reign.
Of course, in the hours after TMZ Sports posted the Sterling audio, Sharpton threatened to organize a boycott and a rally in front of the NBA offices if Silver didn't immediately drop the hammer on Sterling.
Ultimately, Silver did everything Sharpton had called for ... banning Sterling for life and driving a quick sale of the team.
Seattle Seahawks Star WHEN BOOZING GOES RIGHT
Seattle Seahawks superstar Michael Bennett was poppin' bottles left and right this weekend -- with 12 of his teammates -- but they weren't spendin' money ... they were raising it.
Bennett -- along with Percy Harvin, Russell Okung, Jordan Hill and more -- threw on some fancy clothes and hit up the Columbia Center in Seattle on Saturday for Michael's "Champs & Cocktails" event.
The gang raised more than $35k at the event ... signing autographs and hanging with fans. Bennett even took over server duties ... grabbing bottles of wine and pouring for some of the VIP guests who paid $300 per ticket.
Bennett’s charity event, Champs & Cocktails For A Cause, will benefit OCEAN — a program founded by Bennett dedicated to fighting childhood obesity.
A spokesperson for the event tells TMZ Sports, "Bennett was the perfect host, mingling with everyone in the crowd, and of course helping out with some of the service by pouring wine for donors -- and even taking over the DJ booth at one point!"
The rep added, "We're very proud of what Michael and OCEAN are doing."

Adrian Peterson watches Lifetime Television ... and he's not ashamed.
Sure, the network may be geared toward women ... but the NFL superstar tells TMZ Sports there's one Lifetime show his girl forced him to watch ... and it actually grew on him.
Don't worry -- it's not the Tori Spelling show.
FYI -- Peterson is out in NYC doing promotional work for EpiPen ... an emergency medical device he actually had to USE back in 2012 when he had a bad allergic reaction to shellfish.

Rob Gronkowski BRO DANCE PARTY On 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'
He danced his face off ... he made multiple boob jokes ... he benched pressed a comedian -- safe to say, Rob Gronkowski CRUSHED IT on last night's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
The Patriots tight end appeared as a special guest on the improv show on the CW -- and was a pretty good sport ... playing along with all of the goofy situations they put him in.
The dancing was spectacular ... the breast jokes were cheesy ... it was everything we expected and more!
Best part ... when he threw a stiff-arm at Wayne Brady and sent him flying across the stage ... GRONK!!!!!!
