Skateboarder Ryan Sheckler Don't Worry About Me ... The Jewelry Was Insured!
Skateboarding superstar Ryan Sheckler is no dummy -- even though he got nearly $100,000 worth of jewelry stolen from a Las Vegas hotel room, he tells TMZ it was all insured.
As TMZ first reported, Sheckler had a Rolex, a bracelet, a ring and a necklace jacked from his room, allegedly by a woman he's known for over four years.
But yesterday at the Wet Republic Ultra Pool in Las Vegas, Sheckler told our photog he wasn't stressing over the incident, since he had insurance on his bling. He also said he hasn't heard from the girl who allegedly stole it since the incident.
Can ya blame him?

Dennis Rodman Makes It RAIN in Vegas -- Who's Broke NOW?!?!
If Dennis Rodman's really broke, he hasn't gotten the memo -- because earlier this month in Vegas, he LITTERED the floor of some clothing shop with cash ... and the rainstorm was all caught on tape!!!
Sources tell TMZ, Rodman had just wrapped a hosting gig at Tabu nightclub -- and a few hours later, he hit up a clothing store at the MGM Grand with his entourage.
Before long, The Worm was flinging stacks of singles into the air ... lining the floor of the entire store with cash. We're told he also spent a couple thousand on new threads while he was there.

Ryan Sheckler -- a world-class skateboarder who has also ventured into reality TV -- had nearly $100k worth of jewelry stolen from his Las Vegas hotel room while he was snoozing, and the woman he planned on spending the night with has been arrested.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, on February 27, Ryan was staying at the Palms Hotel and at 3:45 AM he took Stacy Salazar back to his room -- a woman he says he's known for 4 years.
Ryan claims he fell asleep but was awakened by the sound of his door closing. He then noticed Stacy was no longer in his room. A few hours later he noticed his jewelry was missing -- a Rolex watch valued at $12,500, a gold/diamond bracelet worth $14,975, a diamond and white gold ring ($63,275) and a diamond necklace of unknown value.
Ryan called the cops, who took a report.
The security camera shows Ryan and Stacy taking the elevator up to the room, and cops observed the Rolex on Ryan's wrist.
As for Stacy, the security camera shows her leaving Ryan's room at 5:05 AM. According to the police report, "As she is walking she is fumbling with her purse that she carries over her shoulder." She got to the elevator, wedged the door open at the last minute, got out, went to Ryan's room where they spoke at the door for one minute, and then she left.
Cops spoke with Stacy who claimed a childhood friend of Ryan's was setting her up and that he was the real culprit. Apparently cops didn't believe her, because she was arrested and booked for grand larceny.

Bruno Mars Prosecutor You're a Disgrace, Go to Jail
The cracked out Las Vegas District Attorney who prosecuted Bruno Mars and Paris Hilton for cocaine just got 9 months in jail and a public ASS-CHEWING from the judge in his own drug case.
Former Deputy District Attorney David Schubert struck a plea deal with prosecutors after cops say they found $40 worth of crack cocaine and an unregistered pistol in his car last March.
As Schubert hung his head in shame, the judge dished out the 9 month jail sentence ... and then trashed him as a "disgrace to his oath as a prosecutor and a lawyer."

Schubert has until March 12 to turn himself in so he can begin his sentence.
