Porn star Holly Sampson -- alleged mistress #79 -- talked openly about allegedly bedding Tiger Woods on an adult website called Naughty America back in May.

Nobody believed it back then -- but that was before Tiger admitted his "transgressions."

It takes five gun-toting men to keep Kobe Bryant from stepping on the basketball court -- we're told the superstar had to miss a Los Angeles Lakers practice this morning in the wake of a violent robbery in his neighborhood.

Sources close to the team tell TMZ Kobe was issued an "excused absence" from a team shootaround at the Lakers practice facility this morning.

Unfortunately for the Utah Jazz, we're told Kobe is expected to play tonight.

The cop from Village People just chalked up the first victory in college football bowl season -- dominating the people behind a major bowl game who used his image without permission.

The cop -- real name Victor Willis -- has settled a lawsuit he filed against the Sun Bowl after they allegedly used his voice and image to promote a halftime show at the 2009 game featuring the Village People ... even though Willis left the group back in 1984.

According to Willis, the Sun Bowl has agreed to run a disclaimer should they ever book the Village People again reading, "The original lead singer of the Village People, Victor Willis, is not performing."

"You can put your mind at ease."

Kobe Bryant's upscale neighborhood in Newport Beach was a dangerous place to be last night -- cops believe several gun-toting henchmen broke into a home near Kobe's place, roughed up a few residents and then ran from police.

Newport Beach police tell TMZ they suspect five men -- armed with handguns -- broke into one home, struck three residents over the head and then tried to rob them.

After a 911 call was made by someone in the backyard, cops arrived and arrested three of the men -- the other two got away and are still on the run.

We haven't been able to verify if Kobe was home at the time.

After the two men escaped, cops authorized an automated phone system to call every home in the neighborhood -- warning residents to be on the lookout for two armed men.

The call also instructed people to lock their doors and windows and call 911 immediately if they suspected anything fishy.

According to a couple of Jeff Beacher's infamous Oompas, the allegedly straying golfer also likes 'em short, orange and topped with green hair.

Gatorade is shutting down production of their special brand of Tiger Woods' brew this month -- but the drink giant tells TMZ it has "absolutely no connection" to Tiger's current predicament.

Gatorade says Tiger Woods Focus Gatorade will conveniently be discontinued as of December 26, saying "We made the decision several months ago ... our relationship with Tiger continues.''

Chalk it up to coincidence ... or not.

Foley tore off two-thirds of his ear in a 1994 match -- and reportedly had to choose between reattaching it or wrestling in a title event.

FYI, he went with the latter ... and won.

Miguel Cotto -- the boxer who just got beat up by Manny Pacquiao -- is accused of sexually harassing a former female employee ... and according to the lawsuit, he used the show "Nip/Tuck" in an attempt to score below the belt.

The woman behind the suit claims she worked for Cotto at a residential complex he owned in Puerto Rico -- but soon after Cotto hired her, he offered "money and other benefits in exchange for sustaining a sexual relationship with him."

As for the "other benefits" -- according to the lawsuit, Cotto offered the woman lingerie, body creams, lotions, champagne, and DVDs of "Sex and the City" and "Nip/Tuck" ... which the accuser calls "pornographic material."

According to the suit, filed in federal court in Puerto Rico, the woman claims she reported the alleged sexual harassment to another superior, Miguel's dad, who told her "Do absolutely everything that my son asks of you."

The woman admits in the suit that she eventually "acquiesced" to Cotto's sexual advances, until she decided she "could not cope morally or spiritually with the situation and expressed her objections again." It was then, the woman claims, she was fired.

Officials from Health Central Hospital confirm Barbro Holmberg, Elin Nordegren's mom, was rushed to the hospital from Tiger Woods' home early this morning after complaining of stomach pains.

She is still in the hospital and listed in stable condition.

UPDATE: According to a rep for the hospital, Barbro is suffering from stomach pains ... but they're not sure what's causing her discomfort. We do know Barbro is in stable condition ... she's undergoing tests right now.

Tiger Woods was admitted to Health Central Hospital the day after Thanksgiving as an overdose.

Sources connected with the hospital tell TMZ the admissions chart lists "OD" and that he was having trouble breathing.

We're told the fifth floor of the hospital was put on lockdown when Tiger arrived. Tiger was admitted under an alias -- William Smith. His wife, Elin Nordegren was by his side.

As we first reported, Elin gave paramedics two pill bottles at the accident scene -- we now know the prescriptions were for Ambien and Vicodin. Tiger was in and out of consciousness, snoring at the scene, and our sources say he clearly appeared to be under the influence of something -- not alcohol.

We're also told doctors used a breathing tube to assist his respiration.

We're also told hospital officials changed Tiger's alias after a few hours to another alias because they feared people would find out he was there.

Tebow -- a very outspoken virginity-possessing super-Christian -- is in NYC for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, and on his way out of the airport, we asked the dumbest question one could ask Tim Tebow -- "So you got all your ladies in check?"

Tebow responded, "No, no ladies for me right now." Duh.

Tebow did drop a bible verse on us on the way out, but the real question: Does this guy have a prayer of winning the Heisman this weekend?

Story developing ...

An ambulance reportedly raced to Tiger Woods' block in Windermere, FL overnight and transported a middle-aged woman to the hospital ... but there are conflicting reports.

Orange County Fire officials confirm a rescue call came in at 2:36 AM from a home on Deacon Circle. TMZ has confirmed the woman was indeed transported to the hospital.

A person from County Fire tells TMZ the responding address does not sync up with Tiger's home, suggesting it's a neighbor (see update - it was Tiger's address)

But WKMG TV in Orlando is reporting someone was transported (see below) and a blonde woman in a black Escalade followed an ambulance from Deacon Circle to Health Central hospital -- the same hospital that treated Tiger the night of his accident.

The Escalade's vehicle tag is similar to the one that crashed -- and, we know, Tiger has a second Escalade.

Story developing ...

It lists the chronology of calls, beginning at 2:32 AM which says, "Blk Escalade vs. Tree... driver on ground unconscious."

It also shows that Tiger was transported to the hospital.

The log also shows the next day, at 2:45 PM, Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg, called the Florida Highway Patrol to reschedule the meeting with Tiger to talk about the accident. Steinberg said, "He's still too sore from the accident."

Tiger Woods will not be showing up for his best friend's wedding this weekend, where he was scheduled to serve as best man.

Woods' childhood friend, Bryon Bell, is getting hitched in South Carolina on Saturday. Bryon got caught up in the whole mess with Rachel Uchitel. As we first reported, Bryon is the one who secretly booked and paid for Rachel to rendezvous with Tiger Woods in Australia last month.

Even though Tiger will be a no-show, people involved with the wedding tell us the wedding party has laid down the law -- no cell phones or cameras.

Here's Heidi at Club Nokia Sunday night for an event for the L.A. Kings, the team she hosts a webcast for, before hopping into her car and getting arrested.

As we previously reported, Androl was later pulled over for driving way too slow on the freeway, where she then performed "poorly" on field sobriety tests and was taken in.
