Vanderbilt has suspended all 3 football players involved in a botched cell phone recovery incident -- in which 2 of the players were shot ... the school has confirmed.

As we previously reported, police say WR Donaven Tennyson rounded up two of his teammates to get back a stolen cell phone on Monday night. During the incident, one of the players pulled a pellet gun on the thieves -- but the thieves pulled REAL guns and opened fire, striking two of the players.

Cops are on the hunt for the thieves -- so far, no arrests have been made.

But Vandy head coach Derek Mason has announced Tennyson -- along with cornerback Frank Coppet and safety Tae Daley -- have been suspended from the team indefinitely.

FYI, Daley was shot in the leg from a pistol and Coppet was hit in both arms from the spray of a shotgun blast. Both are expected to be fine.

White Goodman is BACK -- and he wants slam his dodgeballs right into Justin Bieber's pretty little unblemished grill!!!

Yes, Ben Stiller's legendary 'Dodgeball' villain is calling out some of the most famous people on the planet -- including LeBron, The Rock and Katy Perry -- to square off in the ultimate Dodgeball game.

In fact, Ben reunited just about every member of the original cast (including his estranged wife, Christine Taylor) to help raise money for the Stiller Foundation, which mostly helps rebuild schools in Haiti.

Tony Hawk has already rejected White -- instead, joining Vince Vaughn's Average Joes squad when they face off this Fall.

Just remember -- dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.

"WWE Tough Enough 3" winner Matt Cappotelli says he's undergoing emergency brain surgery on Thursday after doctors found a "very large tumor" in his brain.

Cappotelli was diagnosed with a tumor in 2005 -- just a couple years after winning a WWE contract in the reality TV competition. His big break was coming ... but surgery forced him into retirement at age 27.

Everything seemed to be going well ... until the tumor returned.

"Waiting to be taken for my MRI and get prepared for my second brain surgery tomorrow," Cappotelli said in a statement Wednesday on his wife's Facebook page.

"Just found out the tumor that I had removed 10 years ago has come back much more aggressively and needs to be dealt with."

"It's a very large tumor and there is a portion that is inoperable."

"The portion that they're hoping to remove will be sent for pathology, which will determine what exactly we are dealing with and provide insight on future treatment plans and the next steps for the inoperable portion in my brain stem #John9:1-3."

Cappotelli was a tough S.O.B. on the reality show -- taking a beating from wrestling legend Bob "Hardcore" Holly ... and still coming back to win the show.

We rooted for him then. Rooting harder now.

An all-out chaotic brawl broke out between opposing fans at the Dodgers vs. Angels game Monday night ... leaving one fan with a bloody face.

It all went down in the pavilion section of Dodger Stadium when 2 fans started barking at each other ... but things quickly turned physical when they dragged each other to the ground and started throwing punches.

Other fans joined in by throwing haymakers and beers ... while a mother and her crying daughter try to separate themselves from the altercation just a few feet away.

Stadium security and off-duty cops broke up the fight ... but surprisingly, no arrests were made and the aggressors left the game on their own. A police report was not made for the incident.

Here's video of Klay Thompson going full EDM DANCE MANIAC at a nightclub in China -- fist-pumpin' and tongue-waggin' like his life depended on it ... and it's pretty awesome.

Klay posted up next to the DJ booth at Face Club in Shenzhen on Wednesday -- when Tiesto's track "Wombass" took hold.

Thompson got super into the music -- he spun. He crotch-grabbed. He bounced around a lot. Everyone loved it.

One person at the club tells TMZ Sports there's a good reason Klay wasn't mobbed -- he had a full team of bodyguards watching his back so he could let loose.

UPDATE:

Steph Curry has weighed in with an emoji reaction ...

Bill Belichick is secretly the Bill Belichick of music -- so says his longtime girlfriend who just revealed the Patriots coach is a closet SINGING SENSATION!

Linda Holliday dropped the musical bombshell in an interview with N Magazine, saying:

"I’ll tell you something about Bill ... He can sing. And he can sing well."

She noted, "You won’t hear it. You won’t see it. But he can sing well.”

Belichick -- who was sitting next to Holliday for the interview -- reportedly busted out a "boyish grin" when Linda spilled his secret.

So, we did some digging and actually FOUND a clip of Bill's pipes in action -- singing with Jon Bon Jovi!

Look, he ain't exactly Pavarotti ... but cut the guy a break -- he was probably just a little tired from WINNING SUPER BOWLS!

One more note, the interview was to raise awareness for the Bill Belichick Foundation which helps kids through sports.

Bernie Madoff's family is not done paying back the money he scammed from thousands of investors.

The estates of Bernie's late sons -- Mark and Andrew -- have agreed to forfeit $23 million in money they acquired through years of their dad's infamous Ponzi scheme. It's part of a deal struck with Irving Picard, who's responsible for recovering cash for Madoff's victims.

Both sons died years ago -- Mark of a suicide in 2010, and Andrew of cancer in 2014. Neither was ever charged in connection to their father's crimes. After the payback, their estates will still reportedly be worth $1.75 mil for Mark, and $2 mil for Andrew.

This is weird and fun ...

Taylor Swift just made a congratulations video for newly crowned NBA MVP Russell Westbrook joking with the guy like they've been buddies for years -- even though they've never met.

The Oklahoma City Thunder star got the award Monday night -- and hours later, Taylor released the video saying, "Russell, it’s Taylor. Remember? I was the one who taught you how to play basketball?"

She jokes that she taught him everything he knows about basketball ... he gave her the idea for "Shake It Off" ... and that they go back 20 years.

She then admits they've actually never hung out together once.

Kinda funny. Kinda weird. Kinda sweet.

What's interesting ... Taylor really hasn't done any public interviews or appearances since February -- so this is sorta like her reintroduction to the spotlight. Who'da thunk she woulda used the NBA as a way in?

It's official: The WWE is about to get body slammed by the Big Baller family.

LaVar Ball -- rockin' a fresh Triple-B tee -- was photographed backstage with WWE superstar Titus O'Neil at Staples Center ... confirming a ProWrestlingSheet report that Vince McMahon and co. had been recruiting the Ball fam for Monday Night Raw in L.A.

WWE announced that both Lavar and Lonzo would be guests on "Miz TV" ... a bit hosted by WWE intercontinental champ The Miz.

The Balls might not be the only stars in attendance ... there have also been rumors that Stone Cold Steve Austin could make a cameo.

Watch out for the stunner, LaVar!

Green Bay Packers legend Ahman Green was arrested in Wisconsin on felony suspicion of child abuse ... official records show.

The Brown County Sheriff's Dept. confirms 40-year-old Green was booked early Monday morning for an alleged incident on Sunday evening.

Green has been booked for felony child abuse -- intentionally causing harm/cruelty toward a child. The charge carries a maximum of 6 years in prison if convicted.

A rep for the Sheriff's Dept. tells TMZ Sports ... "We had contact with Mr. Green on Sunday June 25th at 11:30 p.m. He was arrested for physical abuse of a child in a family related incident."

"The referral has been made to the Brown County District Attorney’s Office and any additional requests will need to be made to them as we cannot comment on pending cases."

According to his booking sheet, Green is being held without bond until he goes in front of a judge.

Green was a 4-time Pro Bowl running back during his career and was later inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame.

Story developing ...

Here's Dwyane Wade taking a very expensive doggie for a walk ... a canine-shaped designer man bag and it costs a FORTUNE!!

Yes, this is fashion now ... and the designer is Thom Browne (who also makes man bags in the shape of penguins, turtles, whales, fish and boats).

Price tag on Wade's pooch -- $2,600.

Wade is wearing the bag out in Paris -- where he's been on a fashion-driven trip with his wife, Gabrielle Union.

She also has a Browne bag. Her purse runs about $4,500.

10:36 AM PT -- A rep for Dali's foundation say they are currently preparing an appeal to oppose the order.

Maury Povich ain't got nothing on this paternity test -- a judge has ordered the body of Spanish painter Salvador Dali be exhumed to get to the bottom of a baby daddy dispute.

The court handed down the order Monday after a Spanish woman claimed her mother had an affair with the artist in 1955. But with no biological remains or personal objects of the artist available to help determine whether he's the father, a judge ordered his body exhumed.

Surreal. We know.

Salvador -- who died in 1989 -- had no children with his wife. The alleged daughter, who's a tarot card reader, has made this claim twice before ... but never gotten any paternity results.

There's a lot at stake. Dali was extremely wealthy when he died. Dude lived in a castle with a pet anteater.

Unclear when the testing will be done, but just imagine Salvador doing this dance.

Hillary Clinton jumped off the political sidelines and fired a shot at Republicans over the new healthcare bill ... saying, in not so many words, it's gonna kill Americans.

The former candidate said the GOP will be "the death party" if they pass the proposed healthcare measure. In her tweet, she referenced an article citing Harvard researchers. Their study says the Senate bill could result in "18,000 to 28,000 deaths in 2026."

Detroit Pistons star Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been suspended 2 games without pay for his March drunk driving arrest ... the league announced Friday.

He'll serve the suspension at the beginning of the 2017-18 season.

KCP was initially pulled over for speeding in Auburn Hills on March 29 when cops claimed they could smell alcohol and noticed his eyes were glossy.

During the incident, Caldwell-Pope told police he had 2 drinks of Hennessy that night -- but thought he was under the legal limit to drive.

Police gave him a breathalyzer and he blew a .08, resulting in the arrest. KCP struck a deal with prosecutors in May in which he pled guilty to 2 lesser DUI-related charges. In exchange, he got 12 months probation.

Johnny Depp's assassination remark about President Trump will cost him dearly ... in Hollywood ... if the White House gets its way.

Trump's been silent about Depp saying, "When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?" -- however, a White House spokesperson just said, "President Trump has condemned violence in all forms and it's sad that others like Johnny Depp have not followed his lead."

The statement continues, "I hope that some of Mr. Depp's colleagues will speak out against this type of rhetoric as strongly as they would if his comments were directed to a Democrat elected official."

It's just a matter of time ... but y'know the Prez is loading up some "Pirates of the Caribbean" cracks.

And now, the comedic stylings of Rob Gronkowski ...

"You wanna know why Jews do play football??? To get their quarter back you cheap f*ck."

WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA!

Yeah, that was the kind of material Gronk was workin' with at the Roast of David Ortiz in Boston on Thursday -- where he dropped everything from black jokes to fat jokes to penis jokes.

Hey, it's a roast ... right?

Among the highlights ...

-- Gronk pointed out female comics he wouldn't bang

-- told Anthony Mackie (who's black) he was impressed by his role of Falcon in Captain America because he could fly "when he's not being chased by the cops"

-- told Ortiz he "jerked off" in his green room on the set of a Dunkin' Donuts commercial

There's more. Eight minutes of it. Enjoy.
