In what has to be one of the oddest marketing campaigns ever ... a San Diego exotic car dealer actually wants Jesse James' AM#1 to be photographed driving their car.

We're told McGee traded her BMW for the slightly used Maserati ... a sweet deal for her. As for the exotic car company ... we're wondering how many people who fit Bombshell's profile are really in the market?

Supermodel Beverly Johnson brought a gunman to force a boyfriend to breakup with her, according to a lawsuit filed by the ex.

In documents filed in Riverside County, CA -- Mark Anthony Burk claims Beverly showed up at his home with an armed Chuck Zito, and a separation agreement.

Burk alleges Zito was flashing a gun during the January, 2008 incident -- while Beverly yelled at Burk to sign an agreement that would have paid him $2,000 to get out of her house, according to the papers.

Legendary "Godfather" producer Robert Evans is also being sued. As for why, Burk's lawyer tells TMZ he's alleging Evans -- who was once romantically involved with Johnson -- was involved in the scheme.

In the docs, Burk claims he escaped and hid at a neighbor's home until Beverly & co. left.

Burk also claims in the papers that Walter Morgan took personal belongings from Burk's home -- including his mother's ashes.

Burk is suing for emotional distress and unspecified damages.

UPDATE: Chuck Zito tells TMZ the day of the alleged incident Beverly Johnson hired him as a bodyguard. Chuck says, "I was not carrying a gun and don't need to carry one."

The white Tim tells us he got

Tuesday informing him they were shutting down his account because they believed he was trying to "impersonate" the Black, much taller Tim Duncan.

For some reason Twitter had a change of heart yesterday and his account was re-activated.

We reached out to Twitter and we're still waiting for an explanation ... in 140 characters or less, of course.

Baby Gaga was at a zoo in Australia last week, when she decided to get grubby with a long-necker.

TMZ has learned today's banner will read: "You knew, Stevie...You knew" -- a reference towards Tiger's caddy Steve Williams, who has vehemently denied any knowledge of Tiger's multiple affairs.

Still no word on who is financing the aerial pranks, but one thing is certain: the banners certainly didn't knock Tiger off his game ... yesterday, dude posted his best first round scores since he began playing in Augusta.

UPDATE: Our boy at SportsByBrooks is reporting that there are three more banners set to fly.

TMZ obtained the restraining order -- originally signed by a judge January 29 and still in effect -- in which Dash claimed her husband, Emmanuel Xuereb, hit her in the face, head and body during their two-plus years of marriage ... but she was afraid to report it to police.

Dash, 44, also claims a drunken Xuereb once violently pinned her down to a bed and threatened her, saying it would be the worst night of her life.

Xuereb must stay 100 yards away from Stacey, her two children (neither of whom are his) and the family home. They're due back in court in June.

Lawyers for Anna's estate -- who effectively rep Dannielynn -- just

with the federal appeals court that shut down the estate's claim for a big piece of J. Howard Marshall's fortune.

In the papers, filed today and obtained by TMZ, Dannielynn's lawyers note that the same three judges who shut them down last month did the same thing years before, only to have their decision reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The new legal docs are a not-so-veiled threat to the entire 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Dannielynn's lawyers want 11 judges on the 9th Circuit to review the case and side with the cute little kid. The lawyers warn ... if the 11 judges don't heed this advice, they will be embarrassed when the U.S. Supreme Court tells them for a second time they're all wet.

Cops executed two search warrants yesterday in connection to the Jesse James vandalism/stalking cases ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told the Long Beach Police Department was looking for evidence connected to a March 25 incident in which Jesse claimed he was being stalked by a paparazzo ... and the paparazzo claimed Jesse vandalized his car.

Sources say investigators rolled through two homes where the pap had been staying and seized several items including videotapes and photographs -- which presumably show the confrontation.

Both Jesse and the pap made citizen's arrests. No charges have been filed.

The mystery prankster -- who flew a plane banner reading "Tiger: Did you mean Bootyism?" over Tiger's tee-off at the Masters -- has another trick up his sleeve ... and it's gonna fly overhead any minute now.

TMZ has learned the anonymous gagster has ordered up another banner which reads: "SEX ADDICT? YA, RIGHT. SURE. ME TOO!"

If you're in Augusta right now, look up.

Donald Faison from "Scrubs" may be the next celebrity domino to fall in the great housing crunch.

Luther Burbank Savings just filed a lawsuit, claiming he hasn't been paying the mortgage on an apartment complex he bought in Inglewood, CA for $525,000 back in 2008.

The bank claims Faison hasn't paid a dime since November and wants permission to initiate a foreclosure action.

The bank is also suing for $514,657.76

"Scrubs" -- like Faison's apartment -- is in limbo.

No comment so far from Donald's people.

Frank McCourt's lawyers went to court today, objecting to Jamie McCourt's request to bring D.C. attorney David Boies into the case to represent her. Boies had applied to the court for permission to practice in a California court for this case only.

Frank's lawyers filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- arguing that Boies violated a cardinal rule in the legal profession -- interrogating an L.A. Dodgers employee, despite the fact that all Dodgers employees are represented by counsel.

Boies grilled a security guard at Dodger Stadium on March 27, when Jamie tried in vain to get inside to move her stuff out of her office. Frank's lawyers say the guard is an employee of the Dodgers, who are represented by counsel and Boies had no right to intermeddle.

Nonetheless, the judge allowed Boies to enter the case. BTW, for whoever ends up paying the legal bill, Boies is really expensive.

We're told Mel and Robyn have agreed on pretty much every big issue. In fact, it's so smooth, a judge isn't even involved yet. Instead, Mel and Robyn are using lawyers, accountants and business managers to hash out a settlement.

There is one complicating factor: The large majority of the couple's assets are in the form of houses and other non-liquid property. Robyn will get roughly half in the property settlement. The problem is -- property doesn't pay the bills month to month, and it's a bad time to sell.

Nevertheless ... the suits are busy valuing the assets, and we're told everything should be settled in the next two months.

But the divorce won't be the end of their relationship. We're told Mel doesn't have the ready cash to buy Robyn out of Icon Productions, his film company. So the plan is for both of them to stay in business together after the marriage ends.

So it is possible to end a long marriage without going to court every five minutes.

After seeing how the popcorn affected his white interior, Martin -- who's making roughly $16 million this year -- went back into the locker room and told his teammates, "I swear to God, boy ... when I find out who did it ... I'm gonna put my mother f*ckin' hands on one of y'all."

Martin continued, "I'm gonna put my hands on whoever did it ... you best believe dat ... it's f*ckin personal ... you best believe it."

After Martin calmed down, Kenyon learned the perp was the driver of teammate J.R. Smith. The driver later apologized for the prank ... but Martin reportedly won't accept the mea culpa.

Nic owned two adjacent properties in the hills of Malibu ... hundreds of acres total. We've learned Nic lost the Malibu properties to the bank Wednesday.
