Team Lesnar: Brock Will Fight Again

Brock Lesnar's longtime friend and Jiu-Jitsu coach tells TMZ the hospitalized fighter WILL return to the Octagon -- and he guarantees Brock will return to battle condition in the next six months.

We spoke with Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros -- a 7-time World Jiu-Jitsu champ -- who tells us the reigning UFC heavyweight champ "is getting better and that is the most important thing ... He will be fine and be fighting again within 6 months."

Medeiros adds, "I can just say that the heavyweights can stop laughing and get ready to start crying because the champion will be back soon."

As we previously reported, Lesnar had been hospitalized due to a mysterious intestinal disorder. UFC president Dana White claimed the illness is so severe, Brock may never fight again.

So far, Brock has yet to release a comment himself.

Still Gonna Bet the Cowboys This Weekend...?

The Dallas Cowboys are 6-3, leading their division, and are favored to beat the Washington Redskins by 11 points this weekend ... but after seeing this pic, do the odds even matter???

Jessica Simpson
This photo of Jessica Simpson rocking a 'Boys sweatshirt was taken yesterday in Beverly Hills.

The last time Jess publicly professed her support for the team, they lost to the Giants.

Before that ... she took all sorts of heat for going on a trip to Cabo with several Dallas players just days before they lost a big playoff game in 2008.

David Beckham -- They Call Me Tenderfoot

There's a reason David Beckham is rocking a "precautionary" walking boot on his right foot -- and it's not very precautionary at all.

TMZ has learned David is suffering from a "tender foot" -- a result of a "series of knocks" he took to the appendage after an MLS playoff match against Chivas USA earlier this month.

A rep from the L.A. Galaxy tells us the foot is already better, and he's "practicing with the team today ahead of Sunday's MLS Cup."

... whatever that is.

Andrews' Alleged Peeping Tom Officially Charged

The man who allegedly secretly filmed ESPN reporter Erin Andrews naked in various hotel rooms followed her around the country ... according to federal charging documents obtained by TMZ.

Erin Andrews

In the docs, the feds claim Michael Barrett called 7 hotels in Columbus, Ohio on January 28 and 29 of 2008, trying to find out where she would be staying. The documents officially charge Barrett with 1 count of interstate stalking.

After striking gold with the Columbus Hotel, Barrett got a room next door to her, altered the peephole device and secretly shot video of Andrews.

Barrett then used the Internet to send the video to his email account.

Fast forward to July. He called 14 hotels in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and found where she was staying there. Again, he checked in, altered the peephole device in her room and shot video.

Then again on September 2, Barrett called a hotel, located Andrews' reservation, requested the room next door and on September 4 he altered the peephole and shot video of Andrews naked.

The email he sent the video to -- handsfouryou@yahoo.com. He eventually sent TMZ the video but we did not post it.

The feds say Barrett then posted the videos on a Google video account calling the video, "Erin Andrews Naked Butt."

TMZ received a statement from Barrett's lawyer, saying, "Mr. Barrett would like to express his deep regret for the circumstances that have caused the issuance of the charges against him today. It is his sincere hope that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."

Dodger Divorce -- Sooooo Hollywood

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and estranged wife Jamie spent a lovely evening with their respective lawyers at Spago restaurant in Bev Hills recently. Actually it wasn't lovely at all.

Frank McCourt Dining

Our sources say Jamie and her mega-lawyer, Dennis Wasser (back to camera) asked Frank and his legal eagle, Marshall Grossman, to join them at Wolfgang's joint on October 8th, 3 months after the couple split. Someone we know at a table nearby took the pic.

Grossman tells TMZ it was "awkward ... a chilly evening," adding he thought it was going to be a conciliatory dinner but was more like "the last supper."

We're guessing it went something like this ...

Frank
: Marshall, would you please tell the shrew to pass the salt?
Jamie: Dennis, please tell Frank he's a moron.
Frank: Marshall, tell her at least this moron owns the Dodgers.

Grossman groused that Jamie and Dennis split before the bill came, so Frank picked up the tab.

As for Wasser, he tells us he also reps Wolfgang, so he didn't have to bring a special taster for safe measure.
