The biggest threat to morale for Team USA at Sochi this year is ... a SWEATER -- this according to several American athletes who tell TMZ Sports their Olympics outfits are straight up ugly.

Ralph Lauren just revealed the U.S. opening ceremony outfits the other day ... and the jocks we spoke to tell us there's a buzz in the Olympic community about how unattractive they are.

"Initially, the reaction was 'Are we REALLY wearing that?" ... one Team USA athlete told us.

Another reaction -- "HAHAHAHAHA, oh man ..."

Another Olympian was more optimistic -- saying, "Maybe people will see us wearing the sweaters and they'll become a trend. Or maybe they'll be worn at ugly sweater parties."

One thing's for sure -- the design isn't turning off fans. The online team store is SOLD OUT of the sweaters … which cost a cool $595-a-pop.

Seattle Seahawks star Golden Tate wouldn't be the Super Bowl caliber player he is today if not for attempted maple bar theft gone bad ... so says the owner of the donut shop Golden tried to jack.

We broke the story back in 2010 ... Tate was confronted by cops after a baker at the Top Pot donut shop in Washington caught the wide receiver trying to steal maple bars after business hours.

The 911 call was LEGENDARY -- with the baker telling the 911 operator that a "drunk" and "retarded" Tate stole her keys and some tasty donuts and wouldn't give 'em back.

Cops met up with Tate -- and the receiver was given an official warning. He later apologized and went on to form a business relationship with Top Pot.

Now, 4 years later ... we spoke with Top Pot co-founder Mark Klebeck who tells us Golden used the incident as a learning experience and matured into a better player and a better person as a result.

"I think he’s a great guy," Klebeck says ... "He was straight out of college in a big city and made some mistakes, but didn’t hurt any body."

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins got real pissy during a wrestling event last week -- and by pissy, we mean he went pee in the middle of a match.

Rollins dropped the urinary news during an interview with the Wonder Years lead singer Dan Campbell ... after Seth was asked what his all-time worst mistake in the ring was.

The ex-tag champ says he badly had to go during the match ... but the best part is how he solved the problem.

Believe in the not breaking the seal.

Justin Bieber just ratted on one of his drug suppliers to police -- telling cops, HIS MOM is the one who gave him the prescription medication he took shortly before his DUI arrest.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, cops grilled Bieber on what substances he had ingested before his arrest ... and the singer admitted he was under the influence of Rx meds, alcohol, and weed.

When asked what kind of Rx meds, we're told Bieber said anti-anxiety (such as Xanax) but he wasn't sure exactly what kind ... because he just takes whatever his mom Pattie gives him.

It's unclear if he has his own prescriptions for the drugs -- and his mom just handles them -- or if he's using his mom's prescriptions ... which would be illegal. If Bieber does have a valid prescription , the presence of the substance in his system probably won't be held against him.

As we reported, when police raided Bieber's house following the infamous egg attack, they found Xanax pills in the home ... so it all syncs up.

As we reported, Bieber also allegedly had a blood alcohol level of .04 ... and that will definitely come back to bite him in the ass.

We've reached out to Bieber's mom ... so far, no comment.

Justin Bieber's father helped facilitate the insanely stupid moves of his son that landed him in jail ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... 38-year-old Jeremy Bieber was not only present when Justin was arrested early Thursday morning ... he was one of the people who helped block off the residential street so his son could drag race.

It's even worse ... Jeremy was in SET nightclub just before the arrest with Justin and was around him all day, when the self-confessed little pothead was smoking weed.

As we reported ... Justin admitted that he was under the influence of Rx drugs, alcohol and weed at the time of his arrest ... and Justin's dad was right there in the mix.

Unbelievable.

"Bold and the Beautiful" star Victor Alfieri is safe from future attack ... because the man he accused of assaulting him with a hair brush has been ordered to stay out of his hair ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Alfieri had a close shave last month ... claiming his neighbor, Christopher Veech, hit him in the face with a hairbrush. The soap star claims Veech has been hair-rassing him for more than a year.

Alfieri says he can't escape the guy ... because they live in the same building.

Suck it up Northeast, and learn a lesson from Andy Samberg ... who made the most of the massive storm which dropped at least a foot of snow in NYC.

The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star strapped on a pair of skis and cruised right down city streets.

That's how you handle a snowstorm ... like a boss.

Ke$ha's gonna have to find a new art project in rehab ... one that doesn't involve asking her fans to send in their teeth ... because her treatment center tells TMZ they have a strict no-tooth policy.

While Ke$ha is still being treated for an eating disorder, the singer recently had a friend post a message on Twitter asking her fans to send in their chompers so she could "make art" to pass the time.

As weird as it sounds, K's been dabbling in tooth art for a while ... using real teeth in bras, bandanas and various pieces of jewelry.

But a rep for the rehab center tells TMZ ... there will be no canine crafting during her stint in treatment because "We can't accept human remains."

The rep explains, "There is always a risk that it could be of bio-hazardous material so we are not able to bring in anything that's real."

However, the center WILL accept fake teeth ... if her fans wanna round up a bunch of falsies.

So, chew on that.

Forget supermodel butt washer ... there's a new best job in the world ... SUPERMODEL BOOB HOLDER.

And just in time too -- Maryna Linchuk nearly suffered a wardrobe emergency on the beach over the weekend in St. Barts ... stripping out of her bikini and into another outfit ... and her loyal boob-covering attendant jumped to the rescue. No nip slips here! Unfortunately.

WWE Diva Brie Bella's bachelorette party wasn't filled with muscular dudes thrusting their junk in her face ... it was packed with a bunch of hairy chicks instead.

Brie and her sister Nikki Bella celebrated Saturday night at Prep Kitchen in San Diego ... and judging by the photos, some of the bridal party enjoyed the fake beards a little too much -- we're looking at you four-eyes.

Brie's wedding to WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan -- who also has a giant beard -- is expected to be filmed for the second season of their reality show, "Total Divas."

Kanye West flashed his lion-like dong in public Friday afternoon during Fashion Week in Paris ... is what we thought when we first looked at this photo.

Then we saw other photos from the set ... and realized it's just a bad angle.

One of the hosts of "The Doctors" has filed a lawsuit with a very clear message ... wrestling isn't always fake ... because he says he was thrown into a match on the show that left him badly hurt.

Dr. Drew Ordon claims in his suit ... he was filming the show on the Paramount lot in 2012. The premise of the stunt was pretty thin -- they mention wearing a sumo suit is like a sauna and you can lose weight and also get a good workout.

Ordon claims the company that provided the suits didn't properly train him before squaring off with another host -- the one wearing the red belt.

Ordon claims the company was careless and reckless ... failing to give him instructions on preventing injuries.

Madonna has a strange way of bragging about her son -- she posted a pic of him boxing with the hashtag ... "disni**a" ... and she immediately got blasted for it.

Madonna posted the photo of Rocco Ritchie on Instagram Friday night with the caption, "No one messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out! #disni**a."

Dirty Soap is clearly a nickname for Rocco. As for the hashtag -- who the Hell knows?

Some outraged followers ripped her for it ... with comments like, "MADONNA U NEED TO TAKE UR arthritis medicine instead of trying to be hip on the internet."

#truth.

Joe Jonas has found a new gig after the dismantling of his band ... he drives a fancy cab.

Joe has been officially certified by Uber to drive drunk and sober people alike through the streets of L.A.

The middle Jonas took random passengers to Pinkberry this week. The question is ... why?

We're told he's working with a mystery company -- not Uber -- to film a spot they hope will go viral. We're getting conflicting info on the company ... some people are saying MINI Cooper, but we're not sure.

Justin Bieber has an saboteur in his camp ... a guy who claims he has text messages that the singer sent to Selena Gomez and others ... complete with pictures of his junk -- but TMZ has learned the texts and pictures are bogus.

The guy is trying to sell the texts to various media outlets through an intermediary. The alleged texts include an argument with Selena Gomez in which Bieber supposedly tells her to f off, and rejects her plea for him to go to rehab.

In another text there are supposed conversations that Justin's inner circle would stage an intervention at 11:30 last night. That didn't happen, because the text is bogus.

As for the penis photo, it was supposedly sent to Selena.

The photo appears to taunt her -- "Come on, don't tell me you don't miss this."

The response is: "Stop it. You need to listen to Scooter and go to rehab. u r sick."

Justin texts back: "F**k you. F**k scooter. F**k all y'all I AM DONE!" He also says, "Can't hear you over my cash, babe!" You're only famous cuz of me."

Sources who are privy to the situation tell TMZ ... these texts are all phony and someone who is actually in Bieber's world has turned on him.

If you thought this guy was weird on Wednesday night's "American Idol" premiere, just wait til you get a load of his rap sheet -- and we literally mean load -- the guy was convicted in 2010 after allegedly jerking it in a frozen lemonade truck ... while parked in front of a group of kids.

Sam Atherton had just finished serving frozen lemonade to a group of churchgoers and their kids when he was popped for "open and gross lewdness."

An eyewitness told police he saw Atherton "bobbing his head up and down ... with an intense look on his face" while vigorously moving his arm and shoulder. The witness claims when he approached Atherton to confront him, the guy's pants were around his ankles.

Atherton's excuse was classic ... he said he was just scratching his foot because of a severe fungus.

Atherton was convicted on two counts of lewdness and sentenced to two years probation.

Just when you thought nothing could be worse than his audition.
