Reggie Miller is denying accusations he got down with someone else's fiancee -- but the former basketball star does admit he flirted a little bit ... well, actually a lot. But judging by the pics she texted Reggie, two played that game.
The entire Southern California coastline was roped into the story last weekend, after Alex von Furstenberg -- the son of designer Diane von Furstenberg -- hired a small plane to fly over the beaches with a sign that read, "Reggie Miller Stop Pursuing Married Women."
It's all over Alex's fiancee, Ali Kay.
According to Reggie's rep, Miller and Ali met at a Malibu supermarket back in March. Reggie says the two flirted and spent the rest of the day texting like crazy -- each sending more than 50 texts to the other in a 6 hour span (we obtained Reggie's phone records and verified the number of text messages that were sent back and forth).
Reggie claims Ali -- a clothing designer -- even texted him 2 provocative photos of herself (above), which TMZ has obtained.
But according to Reggie, in April he had enough and took her out of his phone contact list. But Reggie says in May, Ali reconnected with him, wanting to know why he had closed the door. Reggie says the next day he got an angry call from Alex.
Smokin' hot Maxim model Joanna Krupa's fiance didn't just put a ring on it -- he put a small fortune on it.
Krupa was showing off her new accessory outside Katsuya last night, and told us her man dropped enough dough to get her 8.23 carats!
We're told by experts in the field of ice that a high quality 8 carat diamond can go for upwards of $1.5 million on the retail market -- but look at what he goes home to every night ... worth every penny.
Eddie Van Halen seems destined for Las Vegas ... it's generally the next step for badass rockers who register at Crate and Barrel.
We noticed an online wedding registry for Eddie and Janie Liszewski -- the next Valerie Bertinelli. As for their wish list, it includes bamboo salad hands, appetizer forks and two -- count them -- two different types of whisks.
Not that we don't love C & B. But seriously, there's also a chip and dip bowl ...
The blood-feud between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets is so nasty, Carmelo Anthony's fiance had to be escorted out of the stands in last night's game after an argument with opposing fans got way out of control.
While Melo unsuccessfully tried to lead his Nuggets to a victory in Dallas, his fiance, LaLa Vazquez, who is ironically a judge on VH1's "Charm School," got into it with some people sitting near her. In the video, shot by KDFW in Dallas, a visibly upset LaLa can be seen trying to throw something and then cussing at security as they tried to get her to leave.
If you haven't been following the NBA, both teams pretty much hate each other. A few nights ago, Mavs owner Mark Cuban made some kind of a comment to the mother of a Denver Nuggets star. He since admitted he was wrong and apologized, but you know how fans get ...
Jennifer Hudson spent her Wednesday night like most Oscar winners -- by watching a bunch of hot, sweaty, dudes in Speedos roll around in the ring.
Hudson went to the Florida Championship Wrestling event last night to watch her fiance, stage name Dawson Alexander, Esq, throw down -- and definitely enjoyed a few of the sights fights.
Not only has former SNL funnyman Chris Kattan gotten engaged to a woman, but his fiancee is a hot model!
Chris and his soon-to-be bride, Sunshine Tutt, were caught having lunch in West Hollywood over the weekend.
Sunshine was thumbing through a bridal magazine while Chris chowed down. Although they're definitely not your average Hollywood couple, you can never tell what's gonna work in Tinseltown.
1) Sandrine Has Just GOTTA KNOW: Why are Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie not friends anymore? What did Paris do to Nicole? Or what did Nicole do to Paris?
Paris and Nicole -- two people we all thought were a match made in heaven, well at least celebrity heaven. However friends forever they would not remain. After announcing that they no longer had any desire to maintain their friendship, Paris went on to comment on the "disappointment" she felt about her relationship Nicole. She claimed Nicole was jealous of all the attention Paris got when the two were together, adding that "people don't really care about [Nicole]." Nicole, on the other hand, says she and Paris simply have nothing in common any longer and that she "didn't want to be her friend anymore." Not quite the simple life after all.

Two weeks ago Angelina sought out CNN's Anderson Cooper to voice her concern about the state of the world's refugees. She also revealed what initially intrigued her to do such work. The combination of having traveled to Cambodia, along with studying a particular chapter in a UN book (which focused solely on refugees and their state of being) helped catch her attention. Angelina has also said that the one-on-one time spent with refugee families is what ended up becoming the "deciding factor." To get more on the Angelina-Anderson interview, read on.
3) June and Stephanie Have Just GOTTA KNOW: What is the truth about Chad and his 18-year-old fiancé, Kenzie Dalton?
Many people have made speculations concerning the time, or lack there of, between Chad Michael Murray's split with Sophia Bush and his taking up with young "One Tree Hill" extra Kenzie Dalton. However, in attempts to set the record straight, Murray spoke with People magazine and let them know that the quick engagement has nothing to do with rumors that Ms. Dalton is bearing a child. While Murray is determined to have a lasting marriage, no plans have been made for wedding bells to ring. For the latest on co-star Bethany Joy Lenz, keep reading "I Just GOTTA KNOW!"
While millions of people watch New Year's Eve celebrations on TV, an intriguing competition will be going on behind the scenes, as many celebrities battle it out to have the hottest New Year's Eve party of the year.
In the ring: Sister against sister, and ex-lovers against ex-lovers. Even D-List reality stars have jumped into the fray, as many of them host their own New Year's Eve parties. Who will win? TMZ sizes up the competition and predicts who will emerge the winner.
Mariah Carey vs. Maroon 5's Adam Levine, New York
New York City has the world famous Times Square ball drop, and now the Big Apple hosts a showdown between two music stars with competing par-tays. Carey will throw a bash at Cipriani in midtown Manhattan, with ticket prices starting at $200. The party will be hosted by the ubiquitous Ryan Seacrest; he and Carey will presumably head to the event after they appear on ABC's New Year's Eve telecast. (Cipriani says that Carey and Seacrest will show up at the blowout around 3 AM) Meanwhile, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, who will be on MTV's New Year's Eve show, will host his own party at the luxurious Skylight Studios in the Village, complete with outdoor swimming pool, with a minimum $150 admission price.
TMZ's winner pick: No contest. Carey's party will be the biggest celebrity magnet in the Big Apple.
Paris vs. Nicky, Las Vegas
The notorious Hilton sisters usually throw parties together. But this year, Paris and Nicky will both host competing New Year's Eve bashes in Las Vegas: Paris at Tao in the Venetian Hotel, while younger sis Nicky, along with her boyfriend, 'Entourage' star Kevin Connolly, will hold court at Pure at Caesars Palace in a winter wonderland-themed event. Both parties will feature views of fireworks displays and the hosts doing the midnight countdown.
But there are some major differences. Nicky's party is a black-tie event with a ticket price of $499. Paris' party is more accessible (at a ticket price of $200) and doesn't require formal wear. At the stroke-of-midnight, Nicky and her beau will open a bottle of Cristal champagne worth a reported $100,000. At midnight during Paris' party, 2006 pink balloons will drop and a snow machine will turn the place into a winter wonderland.
TMZ's winner pick: Paris is the bigger celebrity, so it's a no-brainer that her party will likely have more star power. Paris is also more likely to take off some of her clothes and do something wild at the party, which would also motivate people to be there. The bottom line: Paris' party sounds like a lot more fun.
Lindsay vs. Wilmer, Miami
Lindsay Lohan and Wilmer Valderrama's breakup is rumored to have caused hard feelings between the two, especially since Valderrama went on to date Lohan's friend, Ashlee Simpson. Now the two former lovebirds will be competing in a Miami showdown of New Year's Eve parties.
Lohan's bash at the indoor/outdoor club Prive/Opium will feature several DJs (including Samantha Ronson and DJ Irie), and will have a minimum admission price of $150 to $200 per person. Valderrama's party at Mansion will have DJ AM (aka, Nicole Richie's ex) and a live performance from trendy rock band the Bravery. The cost of admission to Valderrama's bash starts at $225.
TMZ's winner pick: Although Valderrama's party will have better music, Lohan's event will draw the cooler crowd. We're betting that a lot more of the beautiful people would rather see Lohan up close than Valderrama, and Prive is a much nicer space.
Pamela vs. Kid Rock
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock were once engaged, and they've definitely gone their separate ways when it comes to what they're doing this New Year's Eve. Anderson will be in Los Angeles to host a party dubbed "Gridlock" on the Paramount Studios back lot. The Pussycat Dolls will perform, and the minimum admission price is $125. Kid Rock will DJ at the new Vegas nightclub Jet in the Mirage Hotel, with admission prices starting at $200.
TMZ's winner pick: Anderson's party will draw a hotter crowd since Kid Rock's party will have so much more competition in Vegas. Having a party on a movie-studio back lot is much more unique than just another hotel. And a lot of partygoers may not admit it, but a big appeal of Anderson's party is to see what she's wearing...or not wearing.
Reality Stars vs. Reality Stars
For anyone who wants to party with reality stars of dubious fame, there's no shortage of New Year's Eve choices. In New York City, Brittny Gastineau of 'Gastineau Girls' will host a bash at Nest, with tickets going for a minimum $50. Also in the Big Apple, Wes Bergmann and Johanna Botta of 'The Real World: Austin' will host a party at the sci-fi-themed restaurant Mars 2112; ticket prices start at $145. And from the first season of 'The Real World: New York,' Eric Nies will preside over a bash at Sequoia, with the cost of admission starting at $125.
Meanwhile, in Miami, a minimum $60 ticket price will get someone into a party at Crobar hosted by 'America's Next Top Model' first-season winner Adrianne Curry and her fiancé, Christopher Knight, who both starred in their own reality show, 'My Fair Brady.'
TMZ's winner pick: None. Why party with reality stars when these cities will be packed with bigger celebrities at relatively accessible bashes?
