Floyd Mayweather Rips Chrissy Teigen ... Back Off My Tiger!
Floyd Mayweather is ANGRY that Chrissy Teigen would dare insult his decision to get a pet tiger -- and now he's lashing out at the supermodel over it.
After Mayweather revealed his new pet -- Teigen went to Twitter and wrote, "I'm okay with people having pet tigers because it increases their chances of being eaten by a tiger."
Well, Floyd no likey -- 'cause he just appeared on FightHype.com and fired off some not-so-subtle insults right back at her.
"John Legend's wife said something? I've never had anything negative to say about John Legend. I really don't even know what his wife does."
Ouch.
And then the worst insult a supermodel can get -- "I never seen John Legend's wife in my life. And if I did I probably just don't remember it."
Ouch again.
For the record, Mayweather promises he'll be responsible with his new pets -- "I'm not getting a tiger to let my tiger run around the city and bite people. We're trying to help save tigers."

Mandy Moore My Divorce Is Going to the Dogs ... and Cats Too
Mandy Moore's divorce has hit a hiccup thanks to her house full of cats and dogs.
Mandy filed to divorce singer Ryan Adams back in January, and she just filed new docs saying they've been unable to agree on a settlement because Ryan won't pay spousal support, beyond splitting their mortgage.
In the docs, she says Ryan earns $151k per month while she rakes in less than a quarter of that.
Her other issue ... their EIGHT pets -- 6 cats, 2 dogs -- that she says she's been taking care of on her own since they separated. Mandy says Ryan promised to take at least 2 of the cats, but didn't.
Translation: He p**sied out.
Now Mandy wants Ryan to pay her $37k per month until they sort out the divorce terms -- and she's insisting he take 4 of the pets immediately. Sounds like someone's gonna be shoveling s**t.

Kobe Bryant ATL Zoo Names Black Mamba ... After Black Mamba

The zoo even issued a statement saying ... "Mr. Bryant is a legend on the court, and the black mamba is a legend in the wild."

Might be something to do with that whole deadly venomous poison thing.

Kylie Jenner Animal Control Investigates ... For Dog Neglect
Kylie Jenner could be in the doghouse with Animal Control -- TMZ has learned the agency is looking into whether one of her dogs is being neglected.
A spokesperson for LA County Animal Control tells us they received complaints of possible animal cruelty after Kylie posted a video of her Italian greyhound, Bambi, appearing to be scary thin.
The rep would not say how many complaints were made but said they don't need multiple complaints to launch an investigation, since they investigate ALL complaints of animal neglect.
We're told if they find evidence of neglect charges could be filed, and the dog could be seized.
However, as TMZ first reported ... the Italian greyhounds are naturally lean dogs, and experts we spoke with didn't see anything out of the ordinary in Kylie's Snapchat clip.

The Game Scores Puppy Bro ... To Fetty Wap's Bitch
Game just dropped $5k on a male American Bully puppy from Different Breed Kennels, the same Cali breeder where Fetty Wap picked up his little girl pooch, Trap Queen.
Owner Tyrone Carter says Game and Fetty Wap's dogs are from the same litter. He says he approached Game about the pooch when they met in an L.A. strip club.
We're told the name is Makaveli ... an homage to Tupac. Game hasn't picked up the 3-month-old pup yet -- he's still prepping his house. We're guessing that means hiding his Jordans.

Kylie Jenner Thin Greyhounds Are Okay ... Dog Org. Sign Off
All the haters calling out Kylie Jenner for animal cruelty are barking up the wrong tree ... this according to no less an authority than the Italian Greyhound Club of America.
Experts with the club tell us the video Kylie posted of one of her pups is perfectly normal for the breed ... despite the flood of people accusing her of being a crappy pet owner.
A spokesperson for the Club says the pups are supposed to be lean, since they're bred for running -- and, in fact, a healthy Italian greyhound should show a hint of 3 ribs and its hip bones.
The IGCA rep also points out the still photo from Kylie's video could be misleading ... since the dog could be taking a big breath which would exaggerate the rib cage.

Paris Terror Attacks Diesel The Police Dog Killed During Raid
A police dog trained to sniff out explosives is being hailed a hero after it was killed in Wednesday's raid on the terrorist cell linked to last Friday's Paris attacks.
Diesel, a 7-year-old Belgian Shepherd, met an atrocious end after the canine was reportedly blown to pieces by a suicide bomber.
The heroic pup had been sent into an apartment in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis to sniff out booby traps where the raid took place.
Word of Diesel's death spread like wildfire across social media via the hashtag #JeSuisChien, which translates to "I am a dog" ... a play on the galvanizing "Je Suis Charlie" following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January.
Five other officers were injured in Wednesday's raid.
RIP Diesel.
