TMZ has obtained an LAPD document called "Receipt for Property Taken Into Custody," dated July 15, 2010. Judge Scott Gordon ordered Mel to surrender his weapons, after Oksana filed for a domestic violence restraining order. The order to surrender is standard operating procedure when domestic violence is alleged.

Here's what Mel surrendered:

-- A blue steel, semi-automatic 9 millimeter Glock handgun

-- A blue steel, semi-automatic 9 millimeter Beretta handgun

-- A blue steel, semi-automatic 12 gauge Benelli shotgun

-- A blue steel, lever action Winchester rifle

-- A magazine for the Glock

-- A magazine for the Beretta

-- A speed loader for the Glock -- which allows someone to load the gun quicker

Oksana claims Mel waived a gun and threatened her life during their January 6 blowout. Mel denied doing any such thing.

Just hours ago, Kanye went to his Twitter page and pounded out the following message, "I'm not performing on the Today Show for obvious reasons. I'm so happy the world got to see just a small piece of 'the set up.'"

As we previously reported, Kanye butted heads with "Today" over an interview they aired on Wednesday -- in which Kanye said, "I would tell George Bush, in my moment of frustration that I didn't have the grounds to call him a racist."

Among the lyrical gems in this instant classic:

"I take a shot ...
It hits the spot ...
Then dance a lot ...
Until i drop ...
I shop ...
And shop ...
I just can't stop ..."

The masterpiece continues:

"You can't replace ...
Or crowd my space ...
So step off bitch ...
Or I'll punch your face ... "

As we previously reported, Angelina tried to stop the song's release because the producer allegedly screwed her over with a crappy contract.

UPDATE: Angelina is lashing out the producer saying, "This song was supposed to be a catchy and playful song!!" She also confesses, "I didn't wanna release the song because truthfully I think the song needed a lot more work!! In blunt terms it sucked!!"

And just in case you forgot ... here's The Situation's equally incredible rap tune (click the player below).

TMZ has learned DeVante Swing -- real name Donald DeGrate Jr. -- was arrested at a Subway in Burbank, CA this past weekend. Cops say he was so hammered, he couldn't even walk straight ... and it was all caught on tape.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... police received a call from a concerned citizen around 5:00 PM on Sunday ... after DeVante was sloppily crashing into tables and falling on the floor.

When officers arrived, they arrested the 41-year-old singer for being drunk in public -- and hauled him to a nearby jail.

Oksana wants the judge to yank overnight visits from Mel.

The dynamic duo's next court date is November 22.

Mel's voice cracked as he talked about his 1-year-old during his testimony.

Oksana Grigorieva -- who wants Judge Scott Gordon to strip Mel of overnight visits with Lucia -- testified that whenever the baby spent the night at Mel's, she came back "acting funny." We're told Oksana did not get specific as to what "funny" meant.

On cross examination Mel's lawyers did a show-and-tell, playing video of Oksana talking to PEOPLE magazine and other media outlets, asking, "Do you think by talking to the media you are looking out for the best interests of Lucia?" Oksana was also grilled about allegedly talking to TMZ.

Oksana's lawyers were trying to get the judge to invalidate the mediation agreement, but Judge Gordon shut them down, saying that issue wasn't before the court.

As for Martin Garbus, the judge still has not given the out-of-state lawyer permission to represent Oksana in a California courtroom ... all the paperwork was not in order.

The next court date is November 22. Oksana will take the stand for further cross-examination.

Sources tell TMZ ... Oksana Grigorieva's lawyers did not want a gag order, partly because other people -- including members of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department -- were talking about the case and impacting Oksana's public profile. In the end, Judge Gordon did not see it fit to issue a gag order.

We're also told both Mel and Oksana testified today about the custody arrangement. Oksana is asking the judge to deny Mel all overnight visits, on grounds Mel's nanny allegedly cares for the baby and she needs full-time parenting ... also she believes Mel is a danger to Lucia. But Mel is sticking by the tried-and-true formula -- he's already successfully raised 7 kids.

We're told the judge did not rule on whether to alter any of the custody/visitation arrangements.

This photo -- taken by Nicole -- was attached to legal papers filed in support of the restraining order, showing Fabricio Luis Mariotto lurking at Harlow's preschool.

Nicole says in her petition for the restraining order, "[Mariotto] drives erratically around my children and others, yells, screams and attempts to scare us so that he can photograph our reaction. He trespasses on preschool property to photograph the children."

Nicole adds, "He has often left his car in the middle of a busy street just to chase me for a photograph."

Nicole, who did not show up in court but was represented by Tamar Arminak from Mark Geragos' law firm, adds, "His predatory behavior caused and continues to cause severe emotional distress as I fear for the safety of my children."

Sources tell TMZ ...the Medical Board is itching for a full copy of Michael Jackson's medical records, for the purpose of initiating license suspension/revocation proceedings. But there's a rub ... someone needs to release the records, and the board thinks Katherine has the power to do it.

As we previously reported -- the Texas Medical Board has already prohibited Dr. Murray from administering Propofol or other heavy sedatives while he continues to practice medicine at his Houston clinic. The restriction was triggered by the criminal case in California.

No word from Katherine's camp on whether she'll play ball with the Medical Board. Sources tell us the family has a complete copy of MJ's medical file chronicling the events that led to his death.

Sources tell us both Mel and Oksana will testify this AM. Oksana is trying to yank overnight visits as well as some visitation from Mel.

Even more significant ... both Mel and Oksana will be cross-examined. Fireworks expected.

On her way into court, Oksana said, "I'm fighting for my daughter and for her safety and that's all I'm doing. There's no money involved. It's all about my daughter."

UPDATE 9:30 AM PT: Oksana's mom -- who was subpoenaed -- was ordered by Judge Scott Gordon to leave the courtroom because she's going to be called as a witness.

And Sorrell Trope, who repped Oksana until recently, just left the courthouse after asking for Mel to pay his firm's attorney's fees. Sources tell us Trope asked for around $200,000.

UPDATE 11:00 AM PT: We know the identities of some of the witnesses who will be testifying today. Mady Shany, Oksana's facialist, is in the hallway, sitting next to Oksana's mom. Also in the hallway -- Jimmy Hoyson, the music engineer who claims he saw the explosive January 6 fight between Mel and Oksana.

UPDATE 1:41 PM PT: Mel is heading back into court. It begins again...

TMZ has obtained the subpoena sent to Eric George, who repped Oksana during her mediation with Mel Gibson back in May. The subpoena requires George to show up for a court hearing on Wednesday.

Up to now, George has been muzzled by the attorney-client privilege, but if Oksana's lawyers plan to ask George about his conversations with Oksana, the privilege would probably be waived.

As TMZ first reported ... Oksana's emails and texts to George and Gibson during the mediation figure prominently in the L.A. County Sheriff's Department extortion investigation.

L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells TMZ investigators are knee-deep in downloading and reviewing data from Oksana's computer.

Oksana's lawyers tried to block investigators from reviewing most of the data in her computer, but last month the judge said it was all fair game.

We're told one of the major downloads is almost complete, but there's still a lot of other data that must be retrieved and reviewed.

Whitmore says all the witnesses have been interviewed and when the data is reviewed it will be sent on to the L.A. County District Attorney, who will decide whether to prosecute Oksana for extortion. The D.A. will also decide whether to prosecute Mel Gibson for domestic violence.

On an episode of "Oprah" airing today, Katherine explained how everyone at the hospital was reluctant to tell her what happened to her son.

There had been some debate in Michael's family about whether the vocals are really Michael's, but numerous experts say it is 100% definitely, positively MJ. There is little doubt, especially since we know it was recorded in 2007 at a home studio in New Jersey, the exact place and time Michael had been living with his family.

Mann published a Jackson song on his website that was touted as an "unreleased MJ track" that came with the blessing of Katherine. As we previously reported ... it was neither of those things.

Mann knows that now, and in a letter to TMZ, apologizes for his "act of stupidity and random ignorance." Mann says he had no idea the track he thought was called "Opis None" was really just a version of an old track called "Destiny."
