Shaunie Wants Overtime with Shaq!
Like a lot of his NBA's foes, Shaquille O'Neal's wife is holding onto the Diesel for dear life, telling him in court papers that she doesn't think their nearly five-year marriage is "irretrievably broken."
According to her response, obtained by TMZ, Shaunie O'Neal also slam-dunks any notion, as Shaq had alleged in his own divorce petition, that she was "secretive" about her assets and also says she hasn't done anything "untoward with assets or monies" that belonged to Big Daddy. Shaq had alleged that Shaunie had put some of their money in "other entities," about which she says she knows nothing.
Mrs. O'Neal also adds that all of Shaq's sharp legal elbows have caused her "emotional pain and embarrassment."

Shaun White: No Jacket Required
Snowboarding superstar Shaun White is used to be being bundled up in giant winter coats and ski masks. So when he gets the chance to come to sunny Los Angeles, he gets comfy.
Looking like a pre-op Carrot Top, White was dressed down as he went into Hyde last night -- wearing just a sleeveless black t-shirt and a pair of black jeans.
Pale, skinny arms are all the rage -- with female models!
No Brady Bunch for Tom
NFL quarterback Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan's child's birth certificate makes it official -- Bridget is using her name for their kid. Take that unnamed Brazilian supermodel!
TMZ obtained a copy of little John Edward Thomas Moynahan's birth certificate that makes it official, there's no Brady in his name. Instead, his initials read JET. How patriotic!
The QB did, however, manage to sneak in his middle and first name for his son. Unnecessary roughness!

Wrestling Star Popped for DUI
UPDATE: TMZ just received the following statement from Angle's attorney:
"Kurt Angle maintains his innocence relative to the charges brought by the police in this matter. The improper arrest occurred in the middle of the afternoon after Mr. Angle showed no signs of intoxication. The police have no blood alcohol content and not firsthand knowledge of his operation of his vehicle. We believe the motivation for this arrest is based upon Kurt Angle's celebrity status and we are confident that we will prevail when the truth becomes evident."
Kurt Angle, the former WWE and current TNA wrestling star, was charged with DUI and careless driving after being pulled over on the afternoon of September 28.
Angle was arrested at his home in Moon Township, Penn. after a witness spotted a white Cadillac Escalade driving erratically after pulling out of a local bar. The registration of that vehicle led police to Angle's home, where cops say he admitted to driving the vehicle and that he had just left the bar in question.
Officers then say Angle showed "signs of intoxication," and they administered a field sobriety test, which he failed. Angle was then placed under arrest and taken to a local hospital where he refused to take a blood test.
No future hearing has been set.
Angle won an Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling in 1996. Calls to Angle's reps were not immediately returned.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. TMZ Ends in TKO
TMZ cameras caught up with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and said absolutely nothing -- even more resoundingly when asked about the Oscar De La Hoya "picture" scandal. For someone who can talk his fair amount of trash inside the boxing ring -- outside, he's a cold piece of work!
The one thing that spoke for itself was Mayweather's car -- a Maybach! The sweet ride has a "Mayweather" symbol identifying the make, and the lowest-end 2007 model starts at an insane $335,500! When you shell out that kind of money, you can pretty much not say anything you want!

Rodman's Hummer Handicapped
Dennis Rodman likes to put his Hummer wherever he wants! What a baller!
While at Hennessey's Tavern in Dana Point, Calif. on Sunday, it looked like the 46-year-old former NBA star parked his graffitied, gas-guzzling urban assault vehicle in a handicap accessible spot. Well, he has always been a little special!
Rodman's rep tells TMZ, "Dennis would never do something like that, and he was driven around all weekend . His driver might have done it and left the car there for a short time. Dennis would never do something like that." So, allegedly, there is something he won't do!
TMZ's buddy, John, was kind enough to send us some additional pix of Rodman's wacky ride!

Michael Vick Case Goes to the Dogs
TMZ has obtained court documents filed by representatives for eleven animal rights groups who want Vick's dogs to have a say in the sentencing of Michael Vick. Woof!
Attorneys for the group filed a brief they say is on behalf of the dogs "which were brutally slaughtered by Vick and his cohorts." The brief, which outlines the horrifying abuse the dogs endured while involved in dog fighting, requests that the proceeds of any fines paid by Vick go to provide care and rehabilitation for the canine victims. It also asks that any fines paid by Vick go toward establishing a no-kill shelter or sanctuary to care for abused dogs, and to fund a public awareness program designed to educate the public on the "abhorrent nature of dog fighting."
The dogs also ask that Vick be sentenced to nearly six years in jail.
Lance -- Me or Tony Soprano? Fuhgeddaboudit!
As though he weren't competitive enough already, TMZ gave Lance Armstrong some added motivation to keep himself in world-class shape.
When our photog caught the Tour de France champ on his way to work out yesterday, we informed him (jokingly) that James Gandolfini was whacking him in our daily "Who'd You Rather?" poll (not true: he was kicking Gandolfini's butt). After admitting that he was "torn" about the choice himself, he got worried: "I better go running."
For the record, Lance beat James soundly, with 68 percent of voters taking Lance, even in New Jersey!
WWE Divas: Fake Sport ... Real Stupid
WWE is looking for their next diva, and TMZ has obtained footage of some of the muscled ladies who auditioned. The tryouts are peopled with some pretty hot gals ... with precious little talent.
The wacky women do their best at bad singing, head stands, Shakira impersonations and even a chick who can do a mean one-armed push-up. This is just a bowlful of ka-razy! But at least they look good doing it!
