Zach Smith OSU Strip Club Pal was Tom Herman ... Report Says

Zach Smith may have outed Tom Herman as the unnamed Ohio State assistant football coach who accompanied him to a strip club during a 2014 high school recruiting trip ... and it's all on his IG.

The incident was mentioned in the OSU investigation report into Urban Meyer -- which says Smith "ran up a significant bill at a local strip club along with another OSU football coach" in Florida on May 8, 2014.

Because Smith was on an official OSU recruiting trip -- and at least one high school football coach was also at the club -- Meyer reprimanded Smith and threatened to fire him if it happened again.

The report did not identify the other OSU coach -- but Smith's Instagram page may hold the clue. On May 7, 2014 Smith posted about being in Florida with Tom Herman.

Plus, Lettermen Row -- a news website covering Ohio State athletics -- is citing multiple sources confirming Herman was the mystery strip club buddy.

Unclear if Herman was ever punished for the incident.

After leaving Ohio State, Herman went on to take the head coaching job at the University of Houston where he had great success. He has since become the head coach at the University of Texas.

We reached out to Herman for comment -- so far, no word back.

Urban Meyer Made Strip Club Rule ... After '14 OSU Recruiting Trip

Ex-Ohio State WR coach Zach Smith blew stacks at a strip club with another OSU coach and at least 1 high school coach during a recruiting trip in 2014 ... and afterwards, Urban Meyer threatened his job.

It's all in the Ohio State investigation report detailing Meyer's history with Smith ... who was fired in July after a series of incidents stemming from domestic violence allegations.

In the report, investigators say, "In May 2014, in connection with an out-of-town recruiting trip to Florida, Zach Smith ran up a significant bill at a local strip club along with another OSU football coach and one or more high school coaches."

Smith spent at least $600 in the club -- which investigators say came from "personal funds."

Urban Meyer later learned about the incident and told Smith that, if it happened again, he would be fired.

Meyer also changed up the 2014 coaches manual to include a “morality clause,” telling staff to avoid strip clubs "or venues that would embarrass The Ohio State University."

The revised manual also prohibited coaches from having porn on any university-issued computer, phone, iPad, etc.

Of course, that part is relevant because Smith took penis pics while at the White House on the official Ohio State trip to D.C. to meet President Barack Obama in April 2015.

He also took explicit pics of himself in various OSU football facilities.

Unclear why Smith wasn't punished for violating the terms in the 2014 manual.

Ohio State ultimately suspended Meyer for 3 games for failing to take sufficient management action relating to Zach Smith's misconduct.

V Live Strip Club Crazy L.A. Casting Call Brings Out Twerkers, Acrobats

BOTTOMS UP
TMZ.com

It's that time of the year again, folks -- when wannabe strippers shoot their shot with V Live America to get some work on a pole ... and damn, this casting call was WILD.

TMZ crashed an open audition for V Live L.A. at OHM Nightclub in Hollywood, where a ton of ladies off the street threw on their thongs and came out to shake it ... and Lord, did they put on a show. There's a lot going on here -- beer bottle butt squeezing, half-naked gymnastics moves, crazy body contortions ... and, yes, some good old-fashioned twerking.

One lucky dude ended up having up to 3 different women on him at once -- ass in his face and all over his body. Looks comfy for sure ... even on the hardwood floor there.

This is kinda V Live's thing -- they did it last year in Memphis, and in Chicago the year before that. Those casting calls were pretty bonkers too ... but this takes the cakes.

Stormy Daniels Bails on 'Celebrity Big Brother' ... At Last Minute

Stormy Daniels is persona non grata in the UK ... 'cause she's getting torn to pieces after bailing on "Celebrity Big Brother" after allegedly demanding and not getting more dough, but her lawyer's calling BS.

Stormy was supposed to make her reality TV debut with Thursday night's launch, but she was a no-show. There's a report out in the UK saying Stormy wanted an additional $125k on top of the $950k she was reportedly scoring from the show. 'CBB' producers supposedly balked and Stormy walked.

President Trump's alleged mistress was supposed to appear on the UK's biggest midday talk show Friday but also never made it outta the green room. One of the show's panelists said Stormy told her there was a development in her custody battle with her estranged hubby, Glendon Crain.

Stormy's attorney, Michael Avenatti, tells TMZ ... the money dispute's a joke and insists the reason his client bailed is because producers wanted Stormy to stick to a script, but she was not gonna play that game. As for the custody development ... Avenatti says it did play a factor in Stormy pulling out.

TMZ broke the story ... Stormy and Glendon have joint custody of their 7-year-old daughter but he wants her to pay child support.

Stormy Daniels' Divorce Since She's the Breadwinner ... Pay Child Support!!

Stormy Daniels is quickly finding out divorce will prove costly ... she's been ordered to pay a bunch of bills because she's clearly the money earner.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Stormy must pay her estranged hubby, Glendon Crain, $1,000 per month in child support. That's just for starters -- she'll also pay the mortgage (doesn't say how much) on their house and make payments on their BMW and Cadillac. She's also on the hook for cell phone bills, boarding expenses for their horses and riding lessons for their 7-year-old daughter.

And, get this ... the house Stormy's paying for? Glendon gets exclusive access while the divorce winds through the legal system. He also gets to drive the Beamer. She gets the Cadi.

There's also this ... the court's ordered that any money Stormy makes from any upcoming book deals or on the UK's "Celebrity Big Brother" has to be placed in registry of the court ... meaning it's put aside and will probably be divided up when their divorce is final.

According to the docs, they have joint custody of their daughter.

As we reported ... Glendon filed for divorce last month ... about a week after Stormy was arrested at an Ohio strip club.

Le'Veon Bell Strip Club Booty Slappin' ... During Steelers Holdout

DATE NIGHT

Le'Veon Bell is spending his time away from Steelers camp in epic fashion ... turning up with his girlfriend and smackin' a whole lotta butts at a strip club -- and it's all on video.

The Pro Bowl running back is staying away from Pittsburgh practices after he didn't get the contract extension he wanted ... and he's livin' it up in Miami with his GF, Marliesia Ortiz, in the meantime.

The two hit up Rockwell in South Beach on Monday ... where we're told gold bottles of Ace of Spades were flowing to his table all night.

The party didn't stop there ... Bell bounced to a strip club after -- where he got pretty hands-on with some booty ... while Marliesia watched!!

FYI ... Steelers coach Mike Tomlin shaded Bell before his big night out Monday, telling CBS Sports he hopes Le'Veon shows up in better condition than he did after returning from his holdout last season.

We're pretty sure this isn't the conditioning that Mike wanted to see ...

Lil Pump Ca$h Me Outside of Strip Club!!! ... Literally

PUMPIN' CASH
TMZ.com

Lil Pump's clearly tired of the crazy L.A. heatwave ... thus bringing some much needed relief with a burst of rain with Benjamins.

The "Gucci Gang" rapper was at Sam's After Dark strip club in L.A. around 6 AM Thursday when he posted up in the joint's parking lot for what appears to be an impromptu photo shoot. You can see LP -- along with rapper Smokepurpp -- on top of what appears to be a Rolls-Royce, grabbing stacks lined up inside his waistband.

Hard to tell which track's blaring in the background or if they're shooting a new music video, but what's clear ... it's got Pump pumped the hell up because he made the weather outside go from frightful to delightful (if only for a few minutes).

Stormy Daniels Arrest Evidence Cops Were Trump Supporters ... Reporter Claims

TOTALLY POLITICAL
TMZ.com

Some of the cops who orchestrated Stormy Daniels' Ohio arrest openly revere President Trump ... according to a reporter who says there's proof the bust was political revenge.

Derek Myers is the interim editor-in-chief at the Fayette Advocate who uncovered emails to and from the arresting officer. He tells TMZ ... one involved officer would openly say "Make America Great Again," and another had a Twitter "shrine" to POTUS.

As we reported ... Myers obtained several emails between high-ranking Columbus cops who gathered details about Stormy 2 days before she was scheduled to perform at a strip club there.

Michael Avenatti has claimed all along his client's arrest was really about politics, and Myers says that's more than just a theory.

The Columbus Police Chief said there would be an internal investigation into the officers' motives. We don't know the status of that probe ... we've reached out to the department.

Stormy Daniels Sued Screw You and the Lies You Rode in On We Didn't Kill Your Horses

Stormy Daniels is champing at the bit to destroy a family horse business, of course, of course ... according to a new suit.

A married Texas couple who run Pegasus Eventing claim Stormy's been on the warpath to trash their reputation and ruin their careers due to the deaths of a few of her horses ... but they say her accusations are outright slanderous.

According to the docs ... Stormy and her husband, Glendon Crain, were boarding as many as 7 horses with Pegasus, and one of them named Bailey tragically died in a flash flood in 2015. Stormy allegedly kept working with Pegasus after the flood, but removed her horses from their stables about a year later when another horse named Ziggy suffered an injury in a hail storm.

Pegasus claims, after Stormy pulled her horses and started boarding them elsewhere, Ziggy and another one of her horses died in a freak galloping collision ... which Stormy blamed on Ziggy's injury while at Pegasus.

According to the suit ... Stormy then went on a social media smear campaign against the Pegasus owners, accusing the wife of being "autistic and mentally challenged" and calling the husband a drunk. She also allegedly claimed the couple kills horses with no regret, denies them proper vet care and drugs them.

The Pegasus couple, repped by Christine Renne, says these allegations are all lies, and the lies are ruining their business. They're suing Stormy and her husband for up to a million bucks.

Stormy's lawyer, Michael Avenatti, says the lawsuit is "complete nonsense and entirely bogus."

Gary Payton 50th Birthday Booty Bash

LETTING LOOSE
TMZSports.com

Gary Payton spent his 50th birthday smackin' a whole lotta butt -- and TMZ Sports has the video.

The NBA Hall of Famer celebrated his half-centennial at a raging nightclub in Vegas -- surrounded by a bunch of hot chicks in thongs and pasties.

They grinded on Gary. He danced and threw money. At one point, he handed out some spankings. Good times had by all.

Oh, yeah ... there was cake too, along with the cakes. But, let's be honest, no one gave a crap about that.

Happy birthday, Glove!

Stormy Daniels Husband Accuses Her of Cheating ... Gets Restraining Order

Stormy Daniels' husband doesn't just want a divorce -- he wants her to stay clear of him and their child -- and he's accusing her of cheating.

We've learned a judge has granted Glendon Crain a restraining order which he requested with his divorce petition. The judge, among other things, agreed to prohibit Stormy from coming in contact with Crain or their 7-year-old daughter, which Crain says was necessary because Stormy wanted to bring her on tour where she would be on a bus with other adult performers and at risk for both physical and emotional harm.

The restraining order also prevents Stormy from falsifying any document or withdrawing or transferring any assets from their accounts or from cutting off Crain's access to his credit cards. There's no evidence in the docs she's committed such misdeeds.

Crain also got exclusive use of the couple's home and 2 cars.

As for the cheating ... Crain isn't specific, but merely says Stormy "committed adultery."

As we reported, Glendon filed for divorce last week. He married Stormy in 2015 but the 2 have rarely been seen together in public since she emerged with allegations against Donald Trump.

We knew something was up earlier this month when Stormy was arrested at a Columbus strip club. On the police report, she marked "No" when asked if she was married.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday, where Crain will try to get the restraining order made permanent.

Stormy Daniels Husband Files for Divorce

Stormy Daniels' husband has filed for divorce, a week after Daniels was arrested at an Ohio strip club, and told police she was no longer married.

Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, made the announcement Monday, saying, "My client Stormy Daniels and her husband Glen have decided to end their marriage ... Stormy's daughter remains her number one priority."

Daniels married former porn honcho Glendon Crain in 2015 ... the two have rarely been seen together in public since Daniels came forward with claims against President Trump.

According to docs, Crain has filed for a restraining order against Stormy.

TMZ broke the story -- on the police report from the Ohio arrest, Daniels marked "No" when asked if she was married -- a clear indication things had gone south with Crain.

It's unclear why Crain filed.

Story developing ...

Stormy Daniels Strip Club Arrest Footage Released ... Chaos At Tour Bus

8:56 AM PT -- As for the other two strippers -- Miranda Panda and Brittany Walters -- charges against them were dropped too ... the city attorney said in a statement, "After reviewing the charges for each of these cases closely, I’ve determined that the facts of these cases do not meet the elements required to prosecute under this law."

Stormy Daniels stayed calm during her strip club arrest, but new video of the incident shows her team was anything but.

In footage released by the Columbus Division of Police ... undercover officers swarmed Daniels' tour bus following her show at Sirens strip club. Daniels' security team tried their best to stay by her side during the bust ... and at one point told cops if Stormy was going to jail, they'd go too.

Officers were eventually able to separate Stormy from her team -- after she gave out a few hugs -- and they loaded her into the cruiser.

As we reported ... Daniels' arrest last week was bogus from the get-go. She was busted for inappropriate touching during her strip show -- but, Ohio law specifically states dancers who don't regularly appear at a club can't be arrested for the crime.

Jerry Rice Busts Out Topless Stripper Moves ... Again

THE LADIES MAN
TMZSports.com

Jerry Rice is gunnin' for a new G.O.A.T. title after yet another memorable weekend trip to Lake Tahoe -- Greatest Of All TOPLESS!!

The 49ers legend was back at the annual American Century Celebrity golf tourney earlier this month ... where he stripped off his shirt and got down like Channing Tatum to R. Kelly's "Bump N' Grind."

He danced with a bunch of chicks ... doing some pelvic thrusts and body rolls ... and if this all looks familiar, it's 'cause it is.

Jerry gave a shirtless lap dance at a similar event in Tahoe back in 2016 ... and shook it skin-on-skin with a thong'd out model at another similar party in 2015.

So, if you're counting at home ... that's three Super Bowl rings for Rice -- and now three topless performances (that we know of).

Stormy Daniels Motorboating Not Allowed At Next Strip Club Gig

Stormy Daniels better keep her boobs to herself at her next strip club gig, unless she wants more pokey time ... TMZ has learned.

Stormy's scheduled to get on the pole at the Pink Pony in Atlanta on July 22, but the club tells us absolutely NO motorboating will be allowed. We're told Georgia laws prohibit contact of any kind between dancers and patrons, and it will be strictly enforced.

We're told the PP ain't about to risk losing its license, especially on the heels of Stormy's Ohio arrest.

As for other concerns ... the club tells us it always has security when a celeb is in the house, but they're adding a few extra guards for Stormy. We're told there haven't been any threats, but some angry Trump supporters have filed complaints.

As we've seen in recent months, motorboating is Stormy's go-to move while stripping, but that's precisely what got her busted in Columbus. The charges were quickly dismissed because the city's "no touching" statute only applies to strippers who are regulars.

No such loophole in Georgia, so Stormy better stay abreast of her breasts and patrons' faces and hands ... at all times.
