The victim, who has asked not to be identified, tells TMZ he blacked out after being hit and has no recollection of what happened. His friends, however, claim they saw the whole thing -- and witnessed Cromartie smash a bottle of Moet into the victim's head.

Before the incident, the friends claim Antonio had been hanging out with fellow Chargers defensive stars Shaun Phillips and Stephen Cooper when "a bunch of people" began spraying champagne all over the dance floor.

During the "celebration," the friends claim Cromartie took things too far and "out of the blue" approached them and smashed the bottle into the back of the dude's head.

After the attack, the victim was taken to a local hospital, where he received three staples and underwent a CAT scan.

Law enforcement sources tell us Cromartie is still under investigation for assault with a deadly weapon -- so far, no arrests have been made.

The doctor who may have been responsible for the death of Michael Jackson will see you now.

Dr. Conrad Murray, personal physician to Michael Jackson at the time of his death, will resume his medical practice this morning, his lawyer said on Sunday.

Murray will be at the Armstrong Medical Clinic in Houston -- which was searched by police on July 22.

Murray has good reason to hang his shingle again. A judge has told him no more chances -- he either pays $1,000 a month in child support or he goes to jail, and that's just for one of his seven kids.

For references, please contact Katherine, La Toya or Janet Jackson.

UPDATE -- Earlier Sunday, Murray appeared at the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, where he appeared to cry during the service.

O.J. Simpson is a popular man while he's sitting behind bars. A slew of documentarians want to get a sit-down with The Juice.

Sources at the Lovelock Correctional Center tell TMZ at least 10 people who have never met O.J. have contacted the prison in hopes of landing an interview with Simpson. We're told all were shot down by Lovelock's PIO.

"If I Did It ... Again" would make a catchy doc title, don't you think?

The ASB director at Valencia High School in California tells TMZ Rudolf was paid the $7k to sing at their homecoming dance ... but instead of singing, we're told he just popped in a DVD and lip-synced his two most popular songs -- "Let It Rock" and "Welcome to the World."

The ASB director tells us when he confronted Rudolf on his Britney-esque performance, some guy in the singer's entourage said, "Forget this place. Let's get out of here." And then left.

Adnan Ghalib, Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend/paparazzo, was booked into jail on Friday -- and here's the mug shot. Soul patches are all the rage in prison.

He'll be doing 45 days in the pokey and was also on formal probation for 36 months and has to complete 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of Caltrans (hard labor).

Back in October, Ghalib pled no contest to leaving the scene of an accident after he allegedly ran over a process server in February.

The hosts of "Jojo, Reagan and the Mix Morning Show" are demanding Pratt cough up the $1,000 he bet them on Friday morning, when he claimed Heidi's performance on the Miss Universe pageant this year was the most watched television event in the history of time and space.

Jojo and Reagan tell TMZ they did their homework, and although the pageant was watched by an estimated one billion people (who knew?) ... Princess Diana's funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion.

And, according to a third grader ... 2.5 billion > 1 billion.

Jojo and Reagan want Spencer to pay up but tell TMZ they don't know how to get in touch with him to let him know. So ... ARE YOU LISTENING SPENCER????

TMZ spoke with Jason Soprovich, who tells us he's been inundated with emails from "house stalkers" -- mostly female Twi-hards who have no intention of buying the house and just want to stay there for a little while.

Because who knows ... maybe they'll find a strand of RPattz's hair lying around and their lives will be complete.

All the crazy emails aside, Jason's still close to selling the place -- so far, a few serious buyers have already expressed interest.

Rex Lee -- who plays Lloyd on the show -- was out in L.A. yesterday, where he claimed certain members of the crew "occasionally" make fun of his ethnicity and sexuality on set. Rex added, "I try not to let it bother me."

After Lee's admission, the show's creator Doug Ellin told TMZ he's "shocked and horrified" to hear about the situation and "will be speaking to everybody before we start filming again in March. It's not something condoned or acceptable."

Ellin also told us he already spoke to Lee -- and during the convo, Rex re-confirmed that crew members had made "insensitive gay jokes."

Ellin claims he's now going to lay down the gauntlet, telling Rex if it happens again, the culprit will be fired.

Joe Francis has cojones. He's taking on Uncle Sam in court over a small bill -- around $34,000,000.

TMZ has obtained legal docs Francis filed in federal court, asking a judge to order the feds to release his money the government has frozen.

The IRS issued a tax lien against Francis earlier this month to the tune of $33,819,087.14. According to the new docs, the government went in and froze Joe's accounts over at UBS and Morgan Stanley. Joe told TMZ the accounts total $100 mil.

The "Girls Gone Wild" chief wants the judge to release the money, stat.

Joe says the frozen accounts have put him on the brink of bankruptcy.

Britney Spears' paparazzo ex boyfriend was just sentenced to 45 days in county jail after pleading no contest last month to leaving the scene of an accident.

But it's not as bad as it seems ... Adnan Ghalib gets ONE day credit for time already spent behind bars. Score!

Ghalib will also be placed on formal probation for 36 months, has to complete 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of Caltrans (hard labor).

This all stems from an incident back in February, when Ghalib allegedly ran over a process server with his car. Ghalib was initially charged with three felonies: assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run, but the first two charges were dropped as a part of his plea deal.

Even Becks has to bribe his kids with Swirly Goodness every once in a while.

Officials also confirmed the driver of the bus was the only fatality -- one other person was transported to a local hospital due to injury.

Officials are investigating whether the driver died before the crash or after -- which could explain why the bus drifted off the road. Officials also tell us the roads were really wet from overnight rain. A man at the scene says the bus appears to have drifted off the road for a fairly long stretch before tipping over.

TMZ has learned a kid named Kanan Wolf is the latest "person of interest" in the Burglar Bunch investigation.

According to law enforcement sources, Wolf is close friends with primary suspects Rachel Lee -- who cops believe is the mastermind behind the burglaries -- and Diana Tamayo -- who's been charged with felony first degree residential burglary of Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Tisdale's homes.

Wolf's not yet a suspect -- but cops really want to talk to him.
