Sources close to Chad tell us the Cincinnati Bengals star shipped boxes of shirts featuring the "Mad Chad" character from his iPhone app to Falcons cornerbacks Brent Grimes, Dunta Robinson and Chris Owens and safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud.

If you recall, Chad sent gift baskets of deodorant to the Baltimore Ravens last year ... so they didn't sweat the matchup. And in 2004, he sent Pepto-Bismol to the Cleveland Browns -- insisting they would be sick to their stomachs trying to cover him.

A rep for the Gotta Have It! Rock and Pop Culture Auction wouldn't identify the buyer ... but confirms the "Fuschia Pink Evening Dress by Victor Edelstein" fetched $205,429.20 (to be exact) during its huge online auction that ended Saturday morning.

A number of other sweet items were also sold for huge prices, including:

TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by VaNeisha Robinson -- in which she claims Maverick Carter and his mom staged a 9-man ambush to jack a $10,000 pendant she claims she bought at a garage sale for $5 back in 2005 thinking it was costume jewelry. Turns out, it was real.

Carter maintains the pendant was stolen from him roughly 3 years ago ... and he had no idea where it went until he saw that Robinson was trying to sell it on eBay.

But in the suit, filed in Ohio, Robinson claims Carter concocted a diabolical plan to lure her into his home, insisting that LeBron would be present to make a deal -- instead, she claims, a horde of 8 or 9 people held her in the house against her will and forced her to give up the bling.

For the record -- Robinson claims LeBron was never at the house.

Now, Robinson wants the pendant back and more than $50k in damages from Carter -- claiming she was robbed, falsely imprisoned and suffered some serious mental anguish.

9021-no, no, NO!

66-year-old Prince Frederic von Anhalt tells TMZ, "It's the original uniform of the Duke of Anhalt. I risked my life in 1978 when I went to East Germany to get this uniform. The f**king communists hated me." He adds, "The uniform I really love, but I love my wife more."

According to Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, the uniform is a steal -- dude claims the 17th century chain alone is worth $80,000 ... and the whole shebang is valued at $250,000.

One is often seen in small harems or large herds.

We're just sayin'.

Sources tell us ... Judge Reva Goetz has discussed ending the conservatorship with the lawyers during the last few court hearings, although no decision has been reached.

Judge Goetz requested the meeting with Britney today, and they had a sit-down in her chambers.

No word on how close the conservatorship is to ending, but we know this clue -- someone will file a petition to terminate it.

We'll let you know ...

Starting Friday, the custom-tailored $2,000 Ermenegildo Zegna suit and an audio "kill-switch" Judge Ito used during the trial are being showcased at the Newseum in D.C. to mark the 15th anniversary of the innocent verdict.
