You Might Want to Rethink

You'd think a bunch of super tall, super athletic rich guys with beach houses would KILL IT at beach volleyball ... but you'd be wrong.

Here's Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, DeAndre Jordan and the rest of the Team USA hoops squad taking a break from the hardwood to mess around on the sand.

A bunch of Kerri Walshes they ain't.

Still, good to see the guys blowing off some steam and having fun before the medal rounds.

Thomas Gibson has been suspended from the hit television series "Criminal Minds" after going ham on a writer, kicking him in the leg.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actor was directing and acting in a scene a few weeks back when he got in a creative dispute with one of the writers. We're told the argument escalated and Thomas exploded in anger, kicking the writer in the leg.

We're told the writer was not about to let it go ... he called his agent, who then called network honchos. At that point the network had to take action and suspended Thomas ... it's unclear for how long, but he's been gone for 2 weeks.

Thomas claims he kicked the writer "in retaliation" after the writer became "aggressive."

Gibson tells TMZ, "There were creative differences on the set and a disagreement. I regret that it occurred. We all want to work together as a team to make the best show possible. We always have and always will."

Sometimes "Criminal Minds" don't think alike.

Mel Gibson's baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, just got word from a California appeals court ... she made one of the worst business decisions in the history of business ... because they just ruled she's only entitled to 1/60 of what she could have gotten from him had she just shut her trap.

The California Court of Appeals just dropped the hammer, saying Oksana screwed herself when she went on Howard Stern in 2013 and claimed domestic abuse at the hands of Gibson. The actor was on the hook for $750,000 -- a settlement he had struck with her -- but had only shelled out $250,000.

The agreement said she would forfeit the balance if she blabbed about her allegations, and the court said that's exactly what she did when she went on Stern. So, Mel does not have to pay the $500k balance.

Mind you ... Mel had agreed to pay Oksana $15 million if she kept those horrible audiotapes secret, but she changed her mind thinking she could get even more and disavowed the deal. Instead of $15 mil, she eventually struck a deal for $750k ... and that has now been whittled down to $250k.

Maybe she's just bad at math.

O.T. Genasis was in court Wednesday after learning the hard way -- you can't fly strapped -- especially if you're traveling with heat that's stolen and loaded.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the "CoCo" rapper was leaving LAX last month and got stopped at a security screening when officials noticed the weapon. We're told cops found the loaded Regent R350 CR in his bag ... and after further investigation, determined the handgun was stolen.

O.T. was booked for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a stolen firearm.

He was in court Wednesday for his arraignment.

Members of the Kardashian family were blowing up Tyga's phone Tuesday after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, several family members got Tyga on the horn and railed on him for being super irresponsible and missing a court hearing. They told him it would be a disaster if he was driving with Kylie and got pulled over by cops and then arrested.

The Kardashians don't want this kind of street cred because they think it messes with the heart of their brand.

As for why Tyga was a no-show, we're told he's in Turks and Caicos, celebrating Kylie's 19th birthday ... which is Wednesday. We're told he's already hired a lawyer to clean up the mess.

As we reported, Tyga is on the hook for $480k after his Malibu landlord got a judgment for back rent and damage. The court hearing Tuesday was so the landlord's lawyer could grill Tyga to find out where he was keeping his money.

Team USA gymnastics superstar Gabby Douglas says she never meant any disrespect by not placing her hand over her heart during the national anthem Tuesday ... saying, "I apologize if I offended anyone."

Pro skater Nyjah Huston says the crazy all-night ragers that got him in trouble with the po-po WILL RETURN ... in about 2 years ... 'cause he's shut them down based on a judge's orders.

Nyjah was ordered to stop having his (epic-sounding) Orange County parties earlier this year ... after being slapped with a litany of criminal charges surrounding the nocturnal disturbances he was causing (click here for the details).

The judge was super specific ... telling Nyjah to shut it down between the hours of 8 PM and 8 AM, and when we got Nyjah out in L.A. recently he assured us ... he's obeying the long arm of the law.

"I'm on probation ... maybe in a couple years."

File Under: "Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dennis Rodman says he's had 3 MAJOR ACCIDENTS involving his penis ... snapping it multiple times over the years during sex ... and it got bloody every single time.

Rodman gave the gory details to Vice -- explaining how pushing the boundaries during certain sexual escapades resulted in emergency room visits to repair his wounded soldier.

So, the big question ... does The Worm's worm still work?

Several Team USA hoops stars made a bonehead move in a foreign land -- thinking they were walking into a spa that turned out to be a whorehouse.

DeAndre Jordan, DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins, DeMar Derozan and possibly 3 other players went out on the town Wednesday night in Rio and strolled into Termas Monte Carlo ... which Rolling Stone called "one of the high end brothels in Rio."

When you call the place, they'll tell you it's a spa that plays music ... and it's just for male customers. Oh, and they have a full bar.

A source close to the team tells us the players got the standard line, so they assumed it was kosher. The source said, "They realized it wasn't the right place for them and immediately left."

As for what happened inside, the players were only seen hanging at the bar. Multiple sources tell us they bought booze ... nothing more.

Someone should've hit the translate button on Yelp.

Ben Affleck's out of the loop in London.

The usually suave Affleck looked a hot mess Wednesday night rushing into the "Suicide Squad" premiere after-party -- belt askew, fly open and pants barely hanging on.

"America's Got Talent" viewers just witnessed a truly scary moment when one contestant accidentally shot her husband in the throat with a flaming arrow.

Contestants Amber and Ryan, a sideshow duo, have made their mark on the show performing dangerous stunts. Tuesday's stunt was supposed to end with Amber hitting a target in Ryan's mouth with the arrow ... but her aim was way off and it struck him in the throat instead.

Our 'AGT' sources say Ryan's fine, he was just shaken up after the mishap.

Justin Bieber went out of his way to greet a fan for her birthday, but still had to call in police to deal with her ... because she made a surprise visit to his house.

TMZ has learned Justin's security team called Burbank police Friday night after a girl who just turned 18 waited about 12 HOURS in her car in front of Bieber's house for a photo op.

Officers spoke to her, but because she was on a public street they couldn't do anything about it. When Justin finally came home that evening, police filled him in on the situation. JB decided to join cops when they spoke to her a second time.

The Miss Teen USA needs to reassemble all the contestants and redo this year's entire pageant -- but this time with more women of color onstage and at the judges' table ... according to Miss Alaska's mom.

Ifeoma Isolokwu's daughter, Nneamaka, was one of very few African-American contestants, and Mom's not just upset Nneamaka didn't win -- she thinks it's a disgrace there was only one minority in the top 15, period. Not to mention the now infamous blonde brigade in the top 5.

Ifeoma says the only fair thing would be to hold the competition again with a more diverse judging panel. On Saturday night, 4 were white and one was Latina.

However, Sheila Wakeman -- mom to Miss North Carolina Emily Wakeman -- thinks the lack of diversity claims don't hold up. She believes the top 5 all made it on merit. Keep in mind, her daughter was 1st runner-up.

Miss Teen USA has already said it stands by Saturday's results, and Karlie Hay will remain queen.

Lindsay Lohan is just barely holding it together ... and the 'it' we're referring to is her rack.

LiLo had way too much confidence in a strappy black wrap Saturday as she ventured out on the island of Sardinia. She's still yachting around Italy with friends during her getaway from fiance Egor Tarabasov.

As we first told you ... Linds thinks they can work things out after their blowout fight in London, and you can see she's still flashing her engagement ring.

No doubt, it's gonna be a struggle ... for those tassels! Damn.

Yeah, he's not good.

Here's Brazilian soccer superstar Neymar trying his hand at golf ... and failing miserably.

The overzealous fan who slapped Justin Timberlake on a golf course was beyond drunk at the time of the incident, according to cops.

TMZ obtained the Douglas County Sheriff's report which says Keith Weglin's BAC was 0.18% when he got to jail ... more than twice the legal limit.

TMZ broke the story ... Keith was nabbed by cops after striking Justin in the face at the American Century Celebrity Pro-Am in Lake Tahoe. He could have gotten off scot-free, but cops say he refused to leave the course ... so, they arrested him for disorderly conduct.

One law enforcement source said Weglin talked himself right into jail. We've reached out to him, but no word back yet.
