Shaq shot this video calling out the giant after a recent training session -- and according to the clip, it seems like the challenge could be legit.

Hong's the guy who made Jose Canseco his mini-bitch back in May ... but really, is that an accomplishment?

The parade hasn't even begun yet -- and injuries have already been reported along the parade route. Plus, the S.W.A.T. team is already on scene to keep the peace, this according to our friends at KLAC radio.

Should be fun...

Euro-Greasy rocked the Baywatch style shorty-shorts out in L.A. yesterday.

LeBron James rocked this egotistical t-shirt during a shopping break in N.Y. yesterday.

For the record -- you won't see Kobe Bryant wearing a shirt with his individual accomplishments plastered on the front of it during his championship parade today -- he's gonna let the trophy do the talking.

We know it's a stretch to think a guy who hit 36 homers in '97 and then 66 in '98 was doing more than eating his Wheaties -- but that's exactly what a new report is alleging.

Legendary Chicago Cub Sammy Sosa is now accused of testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, according to the New York Times.

A total of 104 cheaters -- including A-Roid -- failed that fateful round of '03 tests, back when there was no penalty for first-time use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The list, which the MLB sealed but never destroyed, was recently seized by the Feds in order to investigate how so many drugs were making their way into clubhouses.

Something must have really, really been lost in translation here -- cause after a question about her upcoming fight, female Brazilian MMA fighter Cris "Cyborg" Santos suddenly threw this reporter into one of the most devastating headlocks you've ever seen.

Dude eventually woke up ... but he didn't remember a damn thing.

He's just European. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Mega-huge wrestler The Big Show lied when he said he was leaving wrestling for boxing, according to a new lawsuit.

The suit claims the 7' tall, 500 pound behemoth cut a deal with SoBe Entertainment in 2007 to become a boxer. SoBe claims they paid Mr. Show $84,000 a month and fronted him an extra $1 mil for a house.

But SoBe was horrified when B.S. suddenly jettisoned his fighting plan and rejoined the WWE in 2008. To add insult to injury, Show's WWE comeback match was against a boxer -- Mr. Floyd Mayweather.

SoBe alleges Big Show conspired with the WWE to ace them out of its deal.

By the way, the Mayweather/Big Show match grossed the WWE $31,000,000, according to the suit.

It all started during Artie's guest appearance on the "Joe Buck Live" show on HBO last night -- but the war of words only escalated during the "overtime" segment, which takes place after the actual show and is only shown on the web.

During the webcast, Joe did his best to fight back against Artie's relentless barrage of insults -- and even managed to sneak in a few jabs of his own -- but it was clear Joe was wayyy out of his league as Artie did nothing short of brutally roast the host.

But that seems to be exactly what went down last night in Orlando during the NBA final game between the L.A. Lakers and the Orlando Magic.

We're told Chris came with a dude and Teyana Taylor (right, with Rihanna on 5/08), a singer who must have thought it was funny to dress up like Rihanna. Apparently Chris felt it was funny too.

So Chris got a laugh at the expense of the woman he's accused of beating.

We'll see if Chris is still laughing when they come face-to-face in court next Monday.

Rihanna's doppleganger is hella, ella mad at the AP and Yahoo for misidentifying her as RiRi at the Lakers/Magic game last night -- and now she's putting them on blast via her Twitter page.

Teyana Taylor -- who is one of Pharrell's singer protege's -- wrote:

"omgggggg if one more reporter say that im rihanna im gonna go crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... I wish the AP would do a little research. since wen am i RIhanna ... yahoo and everybody else just did a biggg f***in s**t"

Right, because it's a huuuuge stretch to think someone with a RiRi mohawk, wearing RiRi hipster shades and sitting one person away from RiRi's old boyfriend Chris Brown could possibly be RiRi.

Is it just us or does the girl just two seats from Chris look just like RiRi?

We're guessing the guy giving Euro Greasy a leg massage at the Palms Place Hotel and Spa pool was a personal trainer, but we could easily find quite a few ladies who wouldn't mind doing the job ... for free.

Check out the message Shaquille O'Neal just posted on his Twitter page ... spelling errors and all:
Congratualtions kobe, u deserve it. You played great . Enjoy it my man enjoy it. And I know what yur sayin rt now "Shaq how my ass taste "

Obviously, this stems from Shaq's incredible rendition of "Kobe How My Ass Taste" -- a freestyle rap he dropped when Kobe and the Lake Show lost in the NBA Finals last year.

For the record -- that song ruled.

Sorry Mr. Greasy -- that stuff's permanent.
