As TMZ previously reported, the couple just registered at Williams-Sonoma yesterday -- and the gifts they're hoping for include a $100 panini press, $200 waffle maker and even a $400 deep fryer.

But the crown jewel of the registry: The $500 Premium Margaritaville Trio Frozen Concoction Maker -- a blender that can make three different pitchers of drinks ... at the same time.

Sure, they're all great presents in theory -- but the only things purchased so far have been a set of bowls and some measuring spoons.

Wedding etiquette states you get up to a year from the big day to give a gift. Our suggestion: Wait a couple months, see if this one lasts.

Plaxico is currently in the Manhattan Detention Complex, but Plaxcico's lawyer, Ben Brafman, tells us Plax is expected to be shipped to the famous Rikers Island correctional facility and then quickly moved to the Fishkill Correctional Facility in upstate New York.

We're told Plaxico will spend a total of 4-6 weeks going through the Rikers and Fishkill systems -- while authorities determine where Plaxico will spend the bulk of his sentence.

FYI -- Fishkill, which was constructed in 1896, was originally used as a hospital for the criminally insane.

The New York Giants gave us the following statement:

"This has been a tragic, sad, disappointing situation from the beginning. Our concern has always been for Plax's welfare, and for his family, and that continues to be our overriding feeling."

Plaxico caught the Giants' game-winning touchdown in Superbowl XLII -- when they beat the undefeated New England Patriots.

Burress -- who was surrounded by his wife, son and father -- was immediately taken into custody following the hearing which happened just moments ago in New York.

Right after Plax heard his sentence, the 32-year-old NFL star hugged his wife and cradled his son. It was during this emotional moment that Plax began to tear up. The other members of Plaxico's family also began to cry in the courtroom.

Moments later, Plaxico stood up and made a statement in front of the judge saying, "I apologize to my family ... I thank everyone for their support."

Plaxico then walked from the courtroom into a holding area. He was never placed in handcuffs while inside the courtroom.

Plax accidentally shot himself in the leg in a NYC nightclub back in November 2008.

Sources close to the situation tell us every member of Lamar's team got an invite to the "secret" wedding -- including Kobe Bryant. We're also told all of the Lakers coaches were invited to the event.

Don't go blaming the Khloe Kardashian-Lamar Odom whirlwind wedding on the bride -- TMZ has learned this whole thing was Lamar's idea.

Sources close to the situation tell us it was Odom who was putting the rush on the "I do" swapping because the Los Angeles Lakers star wants to tie the knot before his NBA season begins.

If Dallas Cowboys fans are looking for a scapegoat ... we might know where to find one...

Just hours before Tony Romo's squad lost in a last second heartbreaker to the NY Giants in Dallas last night ... the 'Boys' most famous bad luck charm decided to publicly weigh in on the match-up.

Here's the message Jessica Simpson left on her Twitter page: "First home game of the season in the new stadium...GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!"

Merriman was at the club again this past Friday -- less than two weeks after a night of partying there led to an alleged altercation with reality queen Tila Tequila.

The San Diego D.A. decided there wasn't enough evidence to charge Merriman.

We stopped Mark Wahlberg on his way to the Emmys -- in the middle of traffic, no less -- to talk a little smack about the NY Jets beating his beloved New England Patriots.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is already bobbing and weaving -- and he doesn't even fight Juan Manuel Marquez until tonight.

Mayweather has been sued by a law firm in Las Vegas for allegedly not paying them for some legal real estate work.

They are suing for $10,000 -- plus interest and costs. Mayweather reportedly will make a minimum of $10,000,000 for tonight's fight, so 10k should be no sweat off his back.

Ben Roethlisberger's lawyer claims any idiot could figure out the woman who's accusing him of sexual assault is a fraud and he wants the judge to nail her lawyer for filing a "frivolous and abusive" lawsuit.

Andrea McNulty accused the Pittsburgh Steelers' QB of sexually assaulting her at a Lake Tahoe hotel in July, 2008. She filed a civil lawsuit a year later.

In the new legal papers, Roethlisberger's lawyer claims McNulty's attorney knew or should have known his client's suit was bogus. Roethlisberger wants McNulty's lawyer formally sanctioned by the judge -- which, among other things, could mean he would have to pay Roethlisberger's attorney's fees.

Roethlisberger's lawyer says the suit is "designed to harass and embarrass him [Big Ben] and countless other individuals," adding the explicit content in her lawsuit is designed "to stir the prurient interests of the media and public."

Roethlisberger's lawyer says even a casual investigation of the facts would have proven McNulty to be a liar. Among other things, Roethlisberger's lawyer claims McNulty told a co-worker she wanted to have sex with Ben and she wanted him to get her pregnant. She also allegedly sent an email less than 24 hours after her sexual encounter with Ben, stating she was looking forward to having dinner with him.

And there's this -- Ben's lawyer cites a letter written by McNulty's attorney, which reads in part: "Our client is currently struggling with whether or not she wants to come forward and seek criminal prosecution of the celebrity."

Ben's lawyer wants the judge to throw the book at his legal adversary.

In a well-crafted statement to NBC Philadelphia, a confident Emily Monforto explained, "I dropped the bahh."

Seriously, she's the cutest thing we've ever seen.

The video starts a few seconds into Serena's explosion -- after she threatened the judge by saying, "If I could, I would take this f**king ball and shove it down your f**king throat."

In our video you can hear her tell the line judge, "You better be freaking glad I don't do that ... you don't know me!"
