Ex-NFL running back Montee Ball was arrested near a Wisconsin bar this weekend -- after cops say the 25-year-old violated the terms of his bail ... by boozin'.

FYI -- Ball was out on bail stemming from a previous domestic violence case in which he's accused of attacking a former girlfriend in 2014. One of the terms of his bail was to stay out of bars, taverns and liquor stores ... and completely REFRAIN from drinking alcohol.

So, when cops were called to the 841 Brewhouse bar on Saturday night -- and found Ball nearby reeking of booze -- they immediately arrested him.

Ball denied he had been drinking and refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. Cops did take a blood sample to be tested. So far, no word on the results.

It's every skater's dream ... having carte blanche to grab your board and RIP down empty waterslides at an empty waterpark ... without security trying to chase you out the door.

And that's exactly what happened at the Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai when 3 pro skaters -- Milton Martinez, Alex Sorgente and Jan Hoffmann -- hooked up with Red Bull UAE and got the ultimate all-access pass.

You gotta watch this video ... these guys are hitting tricks on open-air tubes HIGH above the ground -- meaning one false move and SPLAT.

A makeshift memorial to ex-Saints player Will Smith has sprung up at the New Orleans street corner where he was shot and killed this weekend ... and it continues to grow.

We spoke with John Harkins -- owner of Harkins the Florist Inc (a flower shop near the memorial) -- who tells us fans and non-fans have been streaming into the shop all day Monday buying arrangements to contribute to the memorial.

But it's not just flowers ... people are also leaving Saints memorabilia, gold and black balloons and signs condemning the senseless violence.

Smith was killed Saturday night during an altercation following a car accident. Cops have arrested the shooter, who insists he only fired in self-defense.

A jury has found NY Jets superstar Brandon Marshall did NOT obliterate a woman's face during a melee outside of a NYC nightclub back in 2012.

Marshall had been sued by Christin Myles -- who claimed Marshall punched her so hard outside of Marquee nightclub that she now suffers from severe headaches, sensitivity to light and has reccurring head and neck pain.

Myles submitted security video which she claimed proved Marshall punched her -- but the video was grainy and clearly the jury didn't feel it definitively showed Brandon delivering the blow.

Cleveland Browns superstar Joe Haden just announced that his wife is pregnant -- but they JUST learned the sex of the kid in one of those fun "gender reveal" videos.

It's actually a pretty cool moment.

Haden wrote, "Words can't even describe how overwhelmed with JOY I am!"

"This year has been so tough, but God has continuously sent me blessings and I couldn't be more excited for this new chapter in my life."

Daisy Lewellyn, who starred on the reality show "Blood, Sweat & Heels," died Friday after battling a rare form of cancer.

Daisy suffered from bile duct cancer, which attacks the digestive tract leading to the liver. She revealed her diagnosis to the cast during season two of the Bravo reality series.

A Bravo spokesperson said, "Daisy passed on in peace and filled with joy, surrounded by her family and friends. We are all saddened to lose this wonderful woman."

The California native had worked at several fashion publications before securing a spot on the show in 2013. She was known as the Queen of Effortless Chic in fashion circles, and had written for InStyle, Glamour and Essence magazines.

Daisy was 36.

Meadow Walker struck a deal with the driver of the car in which her dad died ... a deal worth $10.1 million.

Attorney Jeff Milam, who reps the 17-year-old, says the basis of the settlement was that driver Roger Rodas was partly to blame for the fatal accident, even though he was "not directing the car through any particularly unsafe maneuvers when it went out of control."

It's unclear how much of the settlement will be paid by Rodas' insurance company and how much, if any, from his estate itself.

The settlement was actually made in 2014, but it went under the radar in the courts because it was filed under the name Meadow W. She got just over $7.2 mil and her lawyer snagged just under $3 mil.

Meadow is not done. She's pressing on with her lawsuit against Porsche, claiming various design defects in the racing car caused the crash.

Meadow's lawyer says the $10.1 mil only represents a small fraction of what his client should get given his status as a bankable movie star and the lead in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.

Ex-Baylor football star Shawn Oakman -- a top prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft -- is being investigated for rape ... but he has NOT been arrested or charged with a crime.

Legendary Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan is battling both Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia ... according to a report in the Salt Lake Tribune.

Sloan -- who coached great Utah teams featuring Karl Malone & John Stockton -- told the paper he decided to reveal his diagnoses because his symptoms have become visibly noticeable.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Lewy body dementia is a condition that causes a progressive decline in mental abilities and can sometimes cause hallucinations.

Despite the setbacks Sloan says he's still walking 4 miles a day and is adamant he's not looking for sympathy from anyone.

Ray Lewis may be harder on illegal gun owners than he was on running backs ... demanding that anyone caught with illegal firearms should get a MANDATORY 25 year prison sentence.

The ex-NFL superstar was going off about gun violence in the U.S. -- specifically in Chicago -- when he offered up his solution to stop the shooting.

"I would put barrels on each corner and I would give you 30 days to drop all illegal weapons in these barrels," Lewis said.

"And if you found yourself going outside of that, the moment I found you with 'em that's 25 years MANDATORY."

FYI -- first time offenders caught with an illegal gun in Illinois face up to a 1 year behind bars ... so Ray's plan is much more severe to say the least.

Atlanta Hawks player Thabo Sefolosha has filed a lawsuit against the 5 NYPD officers involved in his violent arrest outside of a NYC nightclub last year ... and he's playing the race card.

Sefolosha suffered a broken fibula and ligament damage when he and teammate Pero Antic were taken into custody outside 1 OAK on April 8th ... after another NBA player had been stabbed in a separate incident.

31-year-old Sefolosha was initially charged with obstructing justice, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest -- but he took the case to trial and was eventually exonerated.

Now, he's looking to make the officers and the City of NY pay -- and while he hasn't said a specific number, he previously filed docs allowing him to sue for up to $50 million.

In his suit, Sefolosha accuses the NYPD officers of false arrest, excessive force, malicious prosecution and false imprisonment.

Tyga just broke ranks with Kylie Jenner and the fam ... by speaking out, and giving Rob Kardashian and baby mama Blac Chyna props on their engagement.

Tyga says, "It makes me happy to see the mother of my son happy. My only concern in this situation is my son." Kylie's BF is the first person even remotely close to Kris Jenner or her daughters to say a word about Rob and Chyna's big news.

Tyga -- who took off for Vail with the rest of the family on Monday -- added, "Everybody deserves 2 be happy."

Michael Vick's younger brother and former NFL QB Marcus Vick was arrested in Virginia for assault Sunday night.

Vick -- also a standout QB at Virginia Tech back in the day -- was booked in his hometown of Newport News for felony assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice and destruction to property.

Newport News police say there was a warrant out for his arrest stemming from an incident in another county. They learned that he was in town and found him at a local business.

When cops tried to arrest him, he pushed one of the officers and ran away.

Drew Barrymore and her husband Will Kopelman are reportedly calling it quits after 3 years of marriage.

The two have already separated and although divorce docs have not been filed, it's apparently imminent ... according to Page Six, which first reported the split.

Drew and Will, an art consultant, have 2 toddler girls ... Olive and Frankie.

Candace Parker just issued a statement on the whole "should the WNBA lower the rims" controversy ... and it goes a little something like, "BOOOOM!"

The WNBA star just posted a video of her dunking on a regulation size rim ... and then tells the camera, "8 feet, 10 feet ... it don't matter."

This comes on the heels of WNBA star Elena Delle Donne suggesting the league lower the rims to make the game more exciting ... you know, with crazier dunks and alley-oops.

But Parker ain't buyin' it ... adding a caption to the video that included some strong hashtags:

"People WANA know how I feel about the "rim discussion" .... Here's my ANSWER. #Dunk #WhyIsntThereABallDiscussion #SinceWeMakingThingsTheSameWhyCantWeMakeMenPlayWitCramps #BarefootAndPreggoInTheKitchen #Equality #10Feet8FeetDontMatter #Controversy #SpartanWoman #BEASTMom #Mama."

The NCAA is adding a twist to its annual "One Shining Moment" montage at the end of the Final Four tourney ... Ne-Yo will be doing a version this year -- but he's NOT bumping Luther.

Luther Vandross' version of the song has been mostly used since 2003 ... with 1 exception, in 2010 he was replaced for Jennifer Hudson. But people got pissed so they brought back Luther's version the next year.

Now, the NCAA has announced a new singer will be taking on the song ... Ne-Yo -- but warn he will NOT replace Luther on the main broadcast.

Instead, Ne-Yo's version will reportedly be featured on TNT and truTV -- while Luther's version will air on the main broadcast on TBS.
