TMZ sources at the fight say the Brits booed the "Star Spangled Banner," and a holy commotion went up for Tom Jones' rendition of "God Save the Queen." Meanwhile, Kid Rock counterpunched with "Born in the U.S.A." when Mayweather entered Jet nightclub at The Mirage for the after-celebration of his tenth-round KO.

Disgraced NFL star Michael Vick has been sentenced to 23 months in prison for dogfighting and conspiracy.

In August, Vick pleaded guilty to operating a dogfighting ring on his Virginia property and assisting in killing dogs involved in the fights.

Vick could have faced up to five years in prison.

Tons of celebs came out to witness the royal ass whoopin' "Pretty Boy Floyd" laid on Hatton. Blood and aggression are so hot these days!

Residents of the Newport Riverside complex -- one of 16 properties the slugger owns nationwide -- complain of cardboard taped over broken windows, roaches and shoddy plumbing. Home rundown!

"My mom ... thinks I live in the projects," one tenant tells The New York Times. "She's scared to come over here."

Tony made his way through LAX on Sunday after spending the weekend with Jess on the left coast. While TMZ got the first video of the couple as they left Love Field in Texas on a private jet over the weekend, it looks like Tony was forced to fly commercial without her.

Just six weeks ago, Tony signed a $67.5 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Loosen the purse strings a little, will ya?

Brittany Spears (second from left) is a freshman from Pasadena, Calif. and the second leading scorer for the team at 13.3 points per game. Whitney Houston (far right), a sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., is a backup point guard.

But they were distinctly divergent this weekend in New York, when TMZ spotted Jeter filming a spot for Gatorade's new lo-cal G2 energy drink, and A-Rod getting his morning paper from a local newsstand. While Jeter gabbed and signed for everyone in sight, A-Rod kept his distance, though oddly enough, so did fans. Aloof, party of one!

Daisy Duke and the Dallas Cowboy hitched a ride on a jet at Love Field in Dallas late last night and headed to Hollywood. They landed within shooting distance -- at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.

They've gone out of their way to avoid being seen together, and up to now they've pulled it off. They reportedly spent Thanksgiving dinner together with a turkey bigger than Britney's "Blackout" CD.

Tony's Cowboys beat the Packers on Thursday night -- thus, no game for him on Sunday. Will Jessica play receiver? Stay tuned.

Miami-Dade Police Department spokeswoman Linda O'Brien identified the men as: Eric Rivera Jr., 17, Venjah K. Hunte, 20, Jason Scott Mitchell, 19 and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18.

Miami-Dade County Police Director Robert Parker said the suspects didn't expect Taylor to be home when they broke into his home Monday morning. The NFL Pro Bowler surprised them and was fatally shot. The suspects -- all of whom have prior arrests -- are expected to make their first appearance in a Fort Myers courtroom sometime today.

Denver Nugget star Carmelo Anthony threw a bash in Hollywood to debut the latest installment of his new signature shoe line the Jordan Melo M4. The event attracted a large crowd of celebs, athletes and starry-eyed gold diggers fans.

Let's play ball!

Garcia tells the Miami Herald that Taylor's "heroic action" saved Jackie and daughter, also named Jackie, and called the incident "a testament to his humanity and courage." Taylor was shot when he grabbed a machete to confront an intruder, while Jackie Garcia reportedly hid in the bedroom with the 18-month-old baby. Until now, Andy and his family had not given any public comment on the killing.

"We will always remember him as a caring and loving individual, especially to his new family," says Andy. The couple met at Gulliver Prep School in Miami-Dade county.

"Shot in the leg and died," he asked our cameraman. "Where the hell was the ambulance? Flavor Flav was real when he said 911 was a joke."

Then, just like a pre-skankified Flav would have done, Rampage got racial. "Black folks, when you get in trouble [and you] call 911, please sound white when you call ... We all sound white when we need to."

Tough words from a tough man.

In the lawsuit, filed in Hillsborough County, Fla. and obtained by TMZ, several management and venture capital groups claim Oren Koules ("Saw" dude) broke an agreement by contacting and eventually purchasing the team -- without discussing it with the VCGroup -- which he was partnered with. Slapshot!
