The Motley Crue drummer just fired off a letter to SeaWorld -- accusing the park of keeping Tilikum the whale in captivity because, "he is your chief sperm bank."

Tilikum -- as you may know -- made national headlines for being involved in the deaths of three people.

But Tommy is especially pissed about the way he believes SeaWorld extracts semen from Tilikum -- saying, "We know from SeaWorld's own director of safety (as well as videos on the web) that the way you get his sperm is by having someone get into the pool and masturbate him with a cow's vagina filled with hot water."

Lee continues, "Even in my wildest days with Motley Crue, I never could've imagined something so sick and twisted."

Tommy and his friends at PETA have called for the whale's release into the wild. SeaWorld has always maintained that the animals receive expert care at its parks.

As we previously reported, Jesse had moved to Texas several months ago without his escape artist canine ... because he wanted to make sure the place was poochie-proof before Cinnabun arrived.

The former MLB superstar turned financial guru turned alleged deadbeat dad had filed for bankruptcy to protect his remaining assets -- but one creditor has filed new documents, asking a judge for a green light to sell everything Dykstra still owns.

The creditor has filed a list of Dykstra's assets, totaling $715,000 -- which includes $100k in jewelry, $15k in art and a $10k German Shepherd.

Just last year, Dykstra had bragged to HBO's "Real Sports" the dog was a "champion."

Anhalt tells TMZ he was outside his Beverly Hills home on Tuesday "sunbathing and eating Kaiserschmarrn" -- which is totally normal -- when he somehow swallowed a bee ... that ended up stinging his throat on the way down.

Anhalt says he suddenly "could not breathe and turned blue" ... and had to be rushed to a local hospital.

The seemingly always-on-the-run Quaids were reunited with Doji when they freed him, legally, from the shelter in Vancouver -- right after they themselves were released from an immigration holding facility.

As we first reported, Doji had been locked up at the shelter -- where he could have been put to sleep -- ever since last week when his owners got busted on an outstanding warrant for a felony burglary arrest in Santa Barbara.

As we first reported, Doji was placed in an animal shelter after Evi and Randy were arrested in Canada last week on an outstanding warrant in Santa Barbara ... and under Vancouver law, dogs that go unclaimed after several days for more than a week could be put to sleep.

But a rep for the city of Vancouver tells us they received a call today from someone on behalf of the Quaids who informed them that someone will be "coming to the shelter in the next couple of days to pick up the dog."

While Evi and Randy are still "in detention" after being nabbed on an active arrest warrant ... we've learned Doji has been placed in an animal shelter in Vancouver for the time being.

But Doji's days could be numbered -- because according to Vancouver law, any dog that has been impounded for more than 72 hours becomes city property ... and the pound keeper is then given the authority to "destroy, or sell by auction or private sale, an impounded dog."

We spoke to someone at Animal Control in Vancouver who told us they "make every effort to not put the dogs to sleep" ... and generally try to find the animals a home through adoption.

Stefan Porwoll -- the manager at the Oberhausen Sea Life Center, where Paul lived -- said Paul "appears to have passed away peacefully during the night, of natural causes."

Paul rose to international fame this summer when he correctly predicted all seven of Germany's World Cup matches -- as well as the final between Spain and the Netherlands. Paul picked the winners by choosing between two food containers that had the competing teams' flags attached to them.

He was two years old.

Hilton and her BF Cy Waits ... and two of her dogs ... hit a West Hollywood costume shop yesterday ... and (surprise!) tried on a bunch of really provocative outfits!

One is often seen in small harems or large herds.

We're just sayin'.

O'Brien tells BV Buzz she was horseback riding with her 2 daughters when her horse "got spooked by another horse and ditched me."

As we first reported, the venerable Von A-Hole called 911 a couple weeks ago, claiming he saw a giant snake hanging from the front gate of their Beverly Hills mansion.

You may remember Cinnabun went through a whole ordeal earlier this year when she went missing -- and returned 23 pounds lighter. Jesse's prized pit bull is working on getting stronger -- pretty clear from the video.

Some dog people will tell you ... this type of "exercise" is SOP for pit bulls -- others say it's inhumane and dangerous.
