Nicole Murphy went on a search and destroy mission to find Michael Strahan in a Beverly Hills hotel room -- where she suspected he was cheating -- and flew into such a rage she got kicked off the premises.

It all went down at the famous Beverly Wilshire Hotel back in January. Sources tell us Nicole had gotten word that Michael was staying there ... and she suspected he was with another woman.

We're told Nicole showed up at Michael's hotel room, unannounced ... and began banging on the door shortly before midnight, causing a major scene.

Witnesses tell us Nicole was screaming Michael's name, saying, "I know you're in there with some bitch." She also yelled, for all to hear, "It's Michael from 'Kelly and Michael' in there."

The commotion woke up several guests in neighboring rooms -- some of whom stuck their heads out into the hallway. She ranted for 20 minutes before hotel security booted Nicole from the hotel.

We have no idea if Michael was ever in the room ... but the door never opened.

If you want to make Terrell Owens cry, just ask him about Tony Romo ... or get him to watch a certain chick flick ... because then the waterworks are sure to flow.

Our photog spotted T.O. Wednesday afternoon at LAX and hit him up for his favorite romantic film. Owens had an immediate answer, noting the movie touches on a topic that hits close to home for him. He even admits getting teary-eyed when he watches it.

Gotta love T.O. -- never afraid to show his emotions.

Everyone knows Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. leads a lavish lifestyle, but this is INSANE -- video of his assistant giving him a bath ... and it's no big deal to Floyd.

The clip is straight out of "Coming to America" -- Money has a female assistant sponging down his back as he sits fully nude in a bubble bath ... brushing his teeth!

Floyd posted the vid on Instagram Thursday morning ... which, unfortunately, means it's limited to 15 seconds. He added the caption, "This is how I get my day started, everyday. - MR. MY LIFE IS THE SH*T."

Epic NBA draft bust Greg Oden was arrested early Thursday morning after he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to the police report, officers arrived at the Lawrence, Indiana home of Oden's mother at 3:30 AM ... to find a woman lying on a bed and holding her face.

Soon-to-be-hitched NBA player Dorell Wright has learned the most crucial lesson of matrimony -- picking his battles ... telling TMZ Sports he would've walked down the aisle in Jordans, but he got overruled.

The Portland Trailblazer was out at LAX picking up guests for his upcoming nuptials when we asked if he'd ever say his I dos in a pair of high priced sneakers -- 'cause it's kinda becoming a thing in the world of wedding planners

Judging by Wright's response he was all for swagging it up, but there was one problem -- his super "fashion forward" wedding guests were totally against it.

Corey Dillon's ex-wife did not run for 11,241 yards, score 82 career touchdowns, or help the New England Patriots win Super Bowl XXXIX, but she was married to him when all that went down ... so she's getting exactly what she's entitled to under the law.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Dillon's divorce from Desiree Antoine was finalized late last month. The two agreed to joint legal custody of their 3 kids and Dillon will fork over $1,421/month in child support. Antoine waived her right to spousal support.

As far as assets go, it's a pretty even split and the couple will sell off a lot of their stuff (their Calabasas home and several cars, including a few classic Chevy Impalas) and split the profits 50/50. Dillon does get to keep his 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass.

The movie about Brian Banks' incredible life story just got a huge boost -- Oscar-nominee Lee Daniels has signed on to direct the project.

As we told you ... Banks signed a deal back in January to turn his ordeal into a movie with Amy Baer producing -- but just today "The Butler" director Daniels came on board as well.

Banks was a high school football star star who spent 5 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit. He was released after the supposed victim confessed she'd made up the whole thing.

He had committed to USC at the time of his conviction, but that was all derailed by his time in prison. Banks eventually got a shot with the Atlanta Falcons during the 2013 preseason, but ended up getting cut.

Even as Nicole Murphy suspected Michael Strahan was cheating -- new pics reveal she was getting cozy with former NBA star Jimmy Jackson in Puerto Rico … which is awful. Until you take a closer look at JJ.

Damn! Hard to blame a girl … unless your name is Michael Strahan.

Legendary NBA dunk machine Darryl Dawkins is convinced Stevie Wonder is fooling the world and can actually see way more than he lets on -- and his proof is the fact Stevie gave him his famous nickname.

Back in DD's playing days, Stevie dubbed him Chocolate Thunder ... a totally appropriate moniker if you've ever seen the 7-footer throw down one of his monster jams. But it does raise the question -- how the hell did Stevie know?

The Oakland A's are so desperate to maintain their hold on the best record in baseball, they are willing to let a wild opossum run free in their stadium ... as long as it doesn't reproduce.

The Dallas Cowboys finally played like champs last night -- not on a football field, but on the Sunset Strip ... where Jerry Jones' son parked a giant team bus outside a nightclub and proceeded to pull a bunch of hot chicks.

Playing catch with John Legend paid off ... because Chrissy Teigen nailed her first pitch at Tuesday night's Los Angeles Dodgers game.

TMZ Sports posted the video over the weekend of Teigen warming up for her big day ... and she didn't let nerves get the best of her when she took the mound. Possibly because she tweeted, "Crap I'm pretty drunk" ... shortly before the game.

Teigen passed on the fancy gymnastics gold medalist McKayla Maroney used during her first pitch in Chicago over the weekend.

And yes, they're both better than 50 Cent.

Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose were among a group of NBA superstars set to travel to Israel to support a basketball team co-owned by Amare Stoudemire -- but TMZ Sports has learned the trip's been 86'd due to the Gaza conflict.

Renowned ass-kicker Bob Barker is at it again ... throttling a "Bold and the Beautiful" actor the same way he did Adam Sandler in the iconic "Happy Gilmore" scene.

Sources close to the show tell TMZ ... Bob was on the soap set Tuesday filming a frame-by-frame reenactment of the fight that made him a cult comedy legend.

Bob's been on 'Bold' a couple times now playing himself for an animal awareness story line.

He moves ridiculously well for 90 ... throwing his famous left jabs and the devastating right cross -- but he does admit to our camera guy there's one move he needs a stunt double for now.

And he's still got it with the ladies -- the Barker charm is on display at the end of this clip. Don't forget to spay and neuter ... your pets.

WNBA legend Teresa Weatherspoon thinks the women's game needs more balls ... on the sidelines -- telling TMZ Sports male cheerleaders could actually help the WNBA.

Teresa was beaming Tuesday in New York about the groundbreaking news -- the San Antonio Spurs hiring of Becky Hammon as an assistant coach. So, naturally we brought up another barrier that needs to be broken … dude cheerleaders working WNBA sidelines.

You gotta hear T-Spoon's take on it, but believe it or not -- she says a little spirited dong could be the perfect bait for WNBA fans of all sexes and sexual orientations.
