Tareq Salahi's celebrity boxing opponent on November 5 is Jose Canseco, but when he steps into the ring with him ... all Tareq will be thinking about is the man who stole his wife, Neal Schon.

When we caught up with Tareq sparring yesterday, he made it clear he REALLY wants a piece of Neal -- and called him a word Marty McFly would not appreciate.

Let's get ready to rumble!

It doesn't pay to play matchmaker for Jose Canseco ... at least according to a Hollywood manager who claims she set the former baseball star up on a date, only to get screwed herself.

Gina Rodriguez has prepared legal docs targeting Canseco, claiming she booked him on a TV show called, "Celebridate" back in June -- where famous people are set up on a date with regular people. But Gina claims Jose never forked over the commission check for her work.

Gina claims Jose was paid $3,500 to appear on the show and she's entitled to her 10% -- $350.

For the record, Gina says she's not the only woman Jose has let down -- apparently, Canseco's "Celebridate" didn't go very well either.

Ozzie Canseco -- the twin brother of infamous MLB star Jose Canseco -- was arrested early this morning for DUI.


Canseco was busted at 2:13 AM in Tampa, FL by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. According to the arrest report, Canseco had a blood alcohol level of .109/.108 ... slightly above the legal limit of .08%.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office website, Canseco was released on $500 bond.

Ozzie had a brief major league career, having never hit a home run in 65 career ABs.

Is Lil Jon gonna be on the next season of "Celebrity Apprentice" ... YEEEAHHHH!!!


TMZ has identified some of the contestants Donald Trump has selected for the upcoming season of his hit reality show ... which includes former MLB star turned steroid finger-pointer Jose Canseco and the original "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch.

Trump also signed supermodel Niki Taylor ... because that's
how Trump rolls.

TMZ has learned self-admitted steroid user Jose Canseco was just evicted from a home he was renting in Los Angeles.


According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the former MLB star ... turned steroid finger pointer ... turned reality star ... turned celebrity boxer ... turned alleged deadbeat  ... received a notice to "vacate" a Northridge home he had been renting since last year.

A source connected to Canseco tells us the trouble began after Jose missed two months of rent.

We're told Jose left the home late Wednesday night ... and won't be allowed back.

Yesterday morning, we spotted Jose at Fred Segal on Melrose ... who gave us the 'ol "no comment" when asked about the situation.

Self-admitted steroid-aholic Jose Canseco is 6'4" and 240 lbs -- yet it appears he still buys his shirts from the kid's section.

Jose Canseco showed off his newly created punch-and-run technique during his Mixed Martial Arts debut last night in Japan -- and needless to say, it didn't work at all.



Canseco fought the superhuman-sized 7'2" 330-pound Hong Man Choi at the Dream Super Hulk tournament in Yokohama -- which mercifully ended after ONE MINUTE when Choi mounted the old "Bash Brother" and beat him to a pulp.

Unfortunately, they don't make a steroid that turns you into someone with fighting ability.

Danny Bonaduce made a bunch of MLB players jealous last night. He was legally allowed to hit steroid rat Jose Canseco in the face.


Fans who witnessed the fight (apparently due to a lack of high-speed car chases on TV) were treated to three rounds of punching and grunting, followed by a heart pounding majority decision -- draw.

Bonaduce, standing a foot shorter than Canseco, told The Post Chronicle, "Part of me says there's a decent man right there that didn't want to kill the little guy. I feel weird that we tied."

Mark McGwire isn't the only one who'd like to throw down with the Bash Brother behind the book "Juiced" -- an "American Gladiator" thinks Jose Canseco is a certified "idiot" too.

Former juicer and original Gladiator Nitro, real name Danny Lee Clark, has some major 'roid rage over Canseco's book -- and man was he pissed when we asked him about it outside Coco de Ville last night.

It's good to see that Jose Canseco has a sense of humor about steroid use -- because all the MLB players he outed in his book "Juiced" probably don't feel the same way.

This clip is from a failed reality show pilot, where people would win a day with Jose and could do anything they wanted with him. The only guy who got the chance decided to make Canseco do stand-up comedy -- and the former slugger just ended up looking like a huge prick.

Is it really a crime for a man to try to fix the shrinking effects of steroid use? If it involves smuggling drugs across the Mexican border, the answer is si.

Baseball's most famous 'roid head, Jose Canseco, was charged today in a U.S. Federal court in SoCal on one count of misdemeanor transport of misbranded medication.

Canseco was allegedly trying to smuggle Spanish-labeled vials of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) through a border patrol checkpoint in San Diego last week.

Jose returns to court on Nov. 4 -- until then, we advise him to see a shrink.
