Alleged MJ Lovechild Won't Accept Rejection
Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson -- the 24-year-old who claims to be MJ's lovechild -- is going back to court in the hopes of getting a slice of Jacko's fortune, even though he was already rejected by the people who run MJ's estate.
PMMJJ just filed "objections of rejection" paperwork in L.A. County Superior Court, in which he begs a judge to "have determined that he is the biological son of decedent Michael Joseph Jackson ... and gain whatever benefits he is entitled to."
The Jackson estate had rejected PMMJJ's claim back in August, even though he provided a California birth certificate which lists Michael Joseph Jackson as his father.

Verne Troyer: My Former GF Tells Tall Tales
Verne Troyer claims his ex-girlfriend -- who recently obtained a restraining order against him -- is just a lying gold-digger who had a bone to pick.
In a response filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Verne admits he started dating Yvette Monet after meeting her at a party at the Playboy mansion in December of '08.
Verne claims Yvette eventually wanted him to give her money so she could pay her bills -- but when she refused to cough up the actual bills, they got into a big fight.
Verne says he ended up cutting her a check for $2,000 anyway ... but they broke up a week later despite his generosity.
Monet eventually filed for a temporary restraining order against him -- which was granted -- claiming Verne wouldn't stop texting her ... and even threatened her life by saying his friends carried guns and would do anything he asked.
In the documents, filed by attorney Ed McPherson, Verne says "at no time did I ever threaten Ms. Monet or even hint to her that I would harm her in any way."
Verne says he found out about the restraining order by reading about it in the media.

Florida Troopers Go After Tiger
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Florida Highway Patrol will move to have charges filed against Tiger Woods in connection with the accident last Friday.
We are told the FHP will announce the case is against Tiger -- not his wife. We do not know if the FHP will arrest Tiger or refer the case to prosecutors.
We know FHP was investigating whether Tiger was driving his SUV under the influence.
Tiger was drifting in and out of consciousness after the accident. As we first reported, his wife gave paramedics two bottles of prescription meds she says Tiger had taken though she did not know when. There was no evidence of alcohol.
The FHP is holding a news conference at 3:00 PM ET. We will livestream.

Tiger Woods -- Bloodless Clues
Tiger Woods did not bleed in the vehicle he crashed Friday morning -- not a single drop -- according to law enforcement sources.
Cops from the Windermere PD, who first responded on scene, observed Tiger's lower lip split open and we're told he had other marks as well. But TMZ sources say there was absolutely no blood in the SUV.
What's more -- we've learned Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, told Windermere cops she smashed the back passenger window with the golf club, then unlocked the driver's door and dragged Tiger out. Yet there were no traces of blood.
This has created even more suspicion with law enforcement ... that Tiger's wounds may have not been the result of SUV meets fire hydrant.
We're told the Florida Highway Patrol has been frustrated by attempts to secure video of the accident. Even though we know there were surveillance cameras on Tiger's property, his lawyer isn't making video available. The people who manage the gated community have said they have no video of the crash.
As we first reported, the FHP sent troopers to the hospital where Tiger was treated yesterday in an attempt to secure medical records, which could unlock the mystery of how Tiger was injured. We're told, so far no luck. Although an FHP spokesperson has said the department has not asked for a search warrant to obtain medical records, we know they are pursuing that route.
As for what charges could be filed -- there are two possibilities on the table. The main focus now is Tiger's injuries. If the injuries have the markers of a domestic dispute, we're told Tiger's wife would almost certainly be arrested.
As for Tiger, troopers are looking at whether he was driving under the influence. As we have already reported, the paramedics on the scene saw that Tiger was unresponsive and asked Elin if he was taking any meds. She went inside, retrieved two prescription bottles and gave them to paramedics. Elin said she did not know when Tiger had last taken the meds. We already reported Tiger had told a friend he was taking prescription pain meds.
But in Florida, it's almost impossible to charge someone with DUI unless someone actually sees the suspect behind the wheel, driving the vehicle. No one has come forward saying they saw Tiger driving.

Hulk Hogan -- King of the Ring
Hulk Hogan may have taken one too many fake punches to the head. Just four months after his nasty divorce with Linda was finalized, he's preparing to crown the next Mrs. Hogan.
We talked to Hulk and his girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel at LAX yesterday, where the Hulkster pointed out the massive ring finger bling he just bought Jennifer ... and told us she "could be the new Mrs. Hogan."
Hulk really moves fast ... only a week ago he was getting some unfortunate ass from Ric Flair.

Dwight Howard Blocks Out His Baby Mama
You'll never hear a negative word said about Dwight Howard by his baby mama ... because according to a judge, she's not even allowed to speak his name.
According to documents filed in Florida, the Orlando Magic superstar went to war in October with Royce Lyndsay Reed -- the mother of his 2-year-old son -- after she allegedly called him a deadbeat dad on her blog, Twitter and even during an ESPN interview.
Dwight also alleges Royce "is attempting to become a celebrity" from being his baby mama ... even agreeing to "participate in a VH1 television show called 'NBA Wives.'"
Dwight ended up winning a permanent injunction against Royce -- and according to the documents, she's banned from "using or publishing (orally, in writing, or otherwise), directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness."
That finely manicured line of lawyerspeak makes it damn near impossible for Royce to appear on "Wives" ... unless she calls herself the baby mama of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Yeah, that was a Harry Potter reference. What?

Dean Martin's Ex-Wife Sues -- You Dirty Rat
Dean Martin was considered royalty and his ex-wife wants royalties -- but according to a new lawsuit, Dean's estate is allegedly screwing her out of a huge chunk of change.
Jeanne Martin -- who Dean divorced in the early 70s -- filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court today, claiming one of the co-executors of Dean's estate -- Laura Lizer -- has been stuffing her pockets with Jeanne's money.
Jeanne claims Lizer pocketed at least $130,000 from Dean's music royalties since 2003 ... and Jeanne wants her to pay up.
Shaq Wants Wife Thrown Out of Cali Court

We've learned Shaq's lawyers filed legal docs, alleging Shaunie has no right to use the California divorce courts because they are residents of Florida.

Eyewitness Account Tiger Woods' Accident
TMZ now has an eyewitness account of what happened immediately following Tiger Woods' car accident.
According to a witness, Tiger had a cut on his lower lip when emergency responders and witnesses arrived. The wound was bloody.
Tiger was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and no shoes. It's illegal in Florida to drive without shoes.
Tiger was lying on the ground unconscious when EMT workers arrived. They used "pain stimulus" -- a method where pressure is applied on an unconscious person to make them alert -- but Tiger only briefly opened his eyes and then lost consciousness.
We're told EMTs asked Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, if Tiger was taking any medications. She went in the house and brought out two pill bottles. She said she did not know when he had last taken the meds.
Elin was extremely upset and was told twice by paramedics to stand back while they tended to her husband.

Debbie Rowe Photog 911 -- Attacked with a Bat
TMZ has obtained the 911 call made by a photographer who claims some rabid Michael Jackson fans attacked him with a bat earlier this month ... an incident the photog blames on a lawsuit he recently filed against Debbie Rowe.
In the call, which was made on November 22, you can hear photographer Ed Frommer tell the dispatcher it all started when two cars pulled up beside him on a road in Lancaster, CA.
Frommer says three men exited the cars -- and that one of the guys told Frommer to stay away from Debbie, while another man began "pushing me with the bat through my window."
Frommer told us last week he thought the goons were mad at him because of the defamation lawsuit he filed against Debbie -- but he doesn't believe Debbie had any connection to the alleged incident.

Obama Crasher Penetrated Redskins Defense
The chick who famously sneaked her way into a White House party last week had some prior experience in the field -- FedEx field ... as in the home of the Washington Redskins.
TMZ has obtained photos of Michaele Salahi posing as a Redskins cheerleader during a halftime event in 2005.
Salahi had told people she was a member of the squad back in the '90s, but team officials have no record proving her claim.
However, these photos make it clear she was successful at passing herself off as one -- because the event she crashed was to honor Redskins cheerleader alumni.
We're told Michaele and her husband, fellow crasher Tareq Salahi, had a private box at the stadium and invited some of the cheerleaders back to the their seats to hang out after the halftime performance.
Troopers Make Hospital Visit Over Tiger Woods
TMZ has learned two Florida Highway Patrol troopers paid a visit today to the hospital where Tiger Woods was transported early Friday morning.
Witnesses at the hospital say the troopers were looking for information related to Woods' visit.
An FHP spokesperson has just said the department has not sought a search warrant for Tiger's medical records associated with his treatment. However, as TMZ first reported, the department is pursuing a warrant -- though it has not formally sought one out -- after being shut down by Tiger's lawyer.
The FHP wants to know if Tiger's wounds were the result of the SUV accident or a domestic dispute with his wife, Elin Nordegren.
We do not know if the troopers obtained medical information from hospital personnel. We do know the troopers have left the hospital.

Pamela Bach Sued in DUI Crash
Pamela Bach is being sued for her DUI this year -- no, not the one she got over the weekend ... the one before.
Mitchell Paulson claims Bach was driving under the influence when she slammed into his car and injured him.
Bach -- David Hasselhoff's ex -- pled no contest to the DUI -- which occurred in March -- and was placed on probation.
As we first reported Bach was arrested Saturday night for DUI, blowing a .13 and a .14. She will likely go to jail for the repeat offense. A law enforcement source tells TMZ Pamela was "hammered" behind the wheel.
As for the lawsuit ... Paulson is seeking unspecified damages.

Tiger Woods -- Let's Go to the Videotape
There's something the Florida Highway Patrol wants even more than catching a glimpse of Tiger Woods' wounds -- the video from the surveillance cameras at the family home.
TMZ has learned the home of Tiger and wife Elin Nordegren is fully loaded with security cameras and we're told at least one of the cameras show Tiger's exit from the house. We know the FHP wants the video.
As we first reported, the FHP wants a search warrant for Tiger's medical records. They also want the video. The question, even if the FHP gets a warrant for the video: What, if any, footage exists at this point?
Then again, it's possible Tiger would willingly fork over the video. Or maybe not.
