UPDATE: Penny has signed with the Giants, according to SportsIllustrated.com.

The Spanish tennis hunk showed off his God-given talents while practicing at the U.S. Open in New York this weekend.

Love all.

A sports bar owner in Minnesota just pissed away $750 on one of the most infamous pieces of non-sports related sports memorabilia in recent history -- a "Whizzinator" once owned by a former NFL running back.

For those unfamiliar -- the "Whiz" is a penis-shaped, urine-storing device used for cheating on a drug test. (Click here for a better explanation.)

But the particular "Whizzinator" that was snatched off the auction block Friday night has a history -- it was found on ex-Minnesota Vikings running back Onterrio Smith during an airport security search back in 2005.

According to TwinCities.com, the guy who bought the pee-shooter plans on displaying it in the bar for everyone to see.

NBA star Tracy McGrady's autograph is over 16x more valuable than fellow baller Deandre Jordan's -- this courtesy of a lawsuit filed against a trading card company.

Nine NBAers -- McGrady, Jordan, Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, D.J. Augustin, T.J. Ford, Antawn Jamison, Anthony Randolph and DeAndre Jordan -- are suing Topps, claiming they were all only partially paid for their autograph deals.

The most interesting part ... how much Topps paid per autograph.

McGrady -- $50
Rose -- $25
Roy -- $18
Westbrook -- $10
Jamison -- $10
Ausgustin -- $8
Randolph -- $7
Ford -- $6
Jordon -- $3

All nine combined are suing for $300,000.

At least two of them probably make more than Jeter, but the real question ...

Shaquille O'Neal thinks he can take on peeps like Michael Phelps and Oscar De La Hoya for his reality show, but we found one thing he definitely can't beat -- a ticket.

TMZ has learned Shaq was ticketed early this morning in Hollywood after officers saw him intentionally stopping his car in the middle of the road in front of a few clubs. O'Neal was cited for impeding traffic and let go.

FYI -- Shaq is a reserve cop ... you'd think he'd know better.

Just days after being dropped by the New York Mets for being a terrible baseball player, Livan Hernandez had a lawsuit dropped in his lap for allegedly being a terrible payer.

A guy named Franklin Vizcaino -- who claims to have been Hernandez's personal driver -- just filed a lawsuit in NY claiming the pitcher owes him $15,800.

TMZ spoke with Vizcaino, who gave us the breakdown on the cash: $7500 for unpaid wages -- and the rest, he claims, is what's owed to him after Hernandez borrowed (and then wrecked) his Lincoln Navigator back in June.

Las Vegas police searched the home of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. today after the boxer's car was spotted at the scene of a shooting that occurred last night.

The shooting happened at the Crystal Palace Skating Center sometime yesterday evening -- our law enforcement sources say no one was hurt or injured. We're told cops don't know if Mayweather was actually at the scene at the time of the incident.

According to KVVU, a search warrant was served at Floyd's home today, but it's unclear as to what they were looking for.

Our sources say cops are looking to talk to Floyd to see if he knows anything about what went down.

UPDATE: We just spoke to Floyd Mayweather, Sr., who said his son had nothing to do with the shooting.

Mayweather Sr. tells us he spoke to Floyd about 30 minutes ago. He said cops ransacked his son's home today looking for a gun, but didn't find anything.

Retired NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson has caught passes for the Jets, Buccaneers, Cowboys and Panthers ... but now he's been accused of dropping the ball on more than $1 million in payments to a construction company that worked on his house.

Gordon S. Gibson, Inc. has just filed a lien on Keyshawn's Calabasas, CA home, claiming the ESPN broadcaster owes them $1,115,500 for "supervision and construction of the Johnson residence."

According to the docs, Johnson's tab is getting bigger by the minute -- gaining 10% annual interest since January 14.

Jenna Jameson's babydaddy was given the glass pipe by a lady at one of the vendor tents -- and all he had to do was sign one of her hookahs.

Just what a new father of twins needs!

Kobe Bryant and his wife have filed legal papers, claiming they have the poop on the lawsuit their former housekeeper filed against them.

The housekeeper, Maria Jimenez, claims Kobe's wife Vanessa was incredibly abusive and disrespectful -- screaming and swearing at her, even forcing her to put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve a tag from her blouse.

In Kobe's docs, he and Vanessa say they paid the maid $50,000 a year, gave her time off, lavished her with gifts, yada yada.

The Bryants say the maid ate meals with them and when she asked for time off to visit her family in Peru, Vanessa gave her a paid leave of absence.

So, we've gotta ask...

He'll be sentenced on September 22 -- the prosecution recommended two years in prison.

The judge says Plax will get two years or less ... unless he screws up before he gets sentenced.

Geez, one bad night...
