Ex-College Football RB HE THREATENED MY LOUBOUTINS ... Wife Claims

Published | Updated

Wanna piss off your wife??? THREATEN TO BURN HER LOUBOUTIN SHOES ... 'cause that's now at the center of a nasty divorce war starring a former University of Oklahoma running back.

The man who allegedly threatened shoe-icide is Brennan Clay -- who's marriage hit the skids when he accused his wife of banging ex-teammate DeMarco Murray (allegations he later retracted).

But according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Clay's wife wants Brennan thrown in jail -- after he allegedly sent her a picture of her expensive shoe collection in a pile with the caption, "I'm setting all of your Louboutins on fire."

Oh hell no.

It appears Clay backed off his alleged threat -- but his estranged wife says the fact he messed with her property is in violation of a court order to not harass each other during the divorce.

When reached out for comment, Clay told TMZ Sports the allegations are false -- he never threatened the shoes -- and says text messages are bogus.

The judge will ultimately decide how this thing plays out ... stay tuned.

One of the gunmen who shot up the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino was at a holiday party at the facility earlier Wednesday ... got into a dispute, then came back with his "buddies" and opened fire ... this according to a well-placed law enforcement source.

The party was being held in one of the conference rooms that was rented out for the event ... and when the gunman returned, he went to same room and shot it up.

Chris Brown Strikes Out in Australia ... Entry Denied

Published | Updated

Chris Brown's tour of Australia has been cancelled due to his Rihanna beating conviction ... TMZ has learned.

Brown's camp announced they were pulling the plug on Oz and New Zealand tour dates -- set to begin in a couple of days -- but never mentioned Chris' issues with the government. As we'd reported ... the government was inclined to deny him entry based on the Rihanna case.

Our sources confirm Chris' lawyers were unable to change the minds of Aussie officials. Truth is, it was always going to be an uphill battle -- even the Prime Minister had voiced opposition to letting him in the country.

The tour promoter says the dates will be rescheduled, but if you're a Brown fan Down Under ... don't hold your breath.

THE HITS JUST KEEP COMIN'

Rick Ross seems to be taking sides in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Adrien Broner beef -- partying with Broner in Miami this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

It's interesting ... considering Ross had MAJOR beef with Floyd in the past -- but they seemed to bury the hatchet a few years ago.

Now, with Broner and Mayweather seemingly at war ... Ross seemed to make a pretty statement by allowing Broner into his VIP section at LIV nightclub on Sunday, where he kicked it with DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne.

FYI -- the beef between Ross and Floyd was SUPER HEATED back in the day, with Ross dropping a major diss track ... saying things like "f**k Floyd Mayweather" and calling him another word for a cat.

Ross sent Floyd $10,000 worth of champagne before the Pacquiao fight -- leading many to think the feud was over -- but now that he's hanging with Broner ... should we expect a new diss track??

**WARNING -- DISS TRACK CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE**

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Helps Save 'The Rock' ... Doggie Version

Published | Updated

A very sick pooch named Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is going to get a life-saving heart operation in the nick of time thanks to his namesake.

Dwayne, the dog, was all fur and bones with his mouth wired shut when L.A. shelter SPOT! found him. Turns out, Dwayne has a grade 6 heart murmur that requires a $4,500 surgery.

Someone started a GoFundMe page for the patient, and the two-legged Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson got wind of it. The actor has a real soft spot for dogs, and dropped $1,500 toward the $5k goal.

The Rock's not the only celeb to open his wallet ... we're told 'Real World' and "Hangover 2" star Jamie Chung donated $600 for a heart echo and x-rays.

As of now, the little guy's about $365 shy of the goal. The shelter plans on putting any extra cash it raises towards surgeries for other sick and injured dogs.
