The brazen gun-slinging robbery at golf legend Chi Chi Rodriguez's house wasn't just extremely premeditated, it was an inside job -- this according to investigators.

Authorities in Guayama, Puerto Rico tell TMZ they believe they can prove an employee at Chi Chi's compound slipped the robbers a key to the house before it all went down.

We're told two of the suspects were charged this morning with several crimes -- including robbery, illegal possession of a weapon and burglary. Bail for the men has been set at $350,000 each.

Sources close to the situation -- but not too close -- tell us the daughters really wanted to get their dad a Lakers jersey for his special day. So, AEG president Tim Leiweke -- whose suite they happened to be sitting in -- ran down to the Lakers team shop in the Staples Center and had an Obama jersey made up on the spot.

To top things off, Phil Jackson even autographed the gear for the kids after the game.

Way cooler than that ugly tie you were gonna get your dad.

According to a team official, members of the squad are under strict orders to stay within the confines of their swanky home away from home -- for both safety reasons ... and to make sure they keep their focus on the tournament.

We're told there's plenty of stuff on the premises to keep the men busy -- like ping pong, darts, foosball and video games. They also have a private pool area where they can unwind.

Hopefully, they're enjoying the place -- if things work out, they could be there until July 11.

TMZ has learned Michelle Obama will be attending tonight's NBA Finals game between the Lakers and the Celtics at Staples Center in L.A.

The White House just confirmed rumors that had been circling all day.

We're told the outing is a "family event" -- so we're expecting one of the First Daughters to be with her.

No word who she's rooting for -- we're sure she just wants to see a good game.

TMZ spoke to two major earplug suppliers based in South Africa -- Ear Plugs Online and Sheppard Medical -- and each are boasting ENORMOUS increases in sales since last week.

A rep for EPO tells us their sales are up 121% -- selling more than 10,000 sets of plugs and counting. Sheppard Medical tells us they've moved more than 400,000 sets since kickoff -- a 20% increase.

Both companies attribute the increase to those damn horns -- which people are constantly blaring both in stadiums and on the streets. Reps for both companies tell us neither would be surprised if they each sold over one million sets by the end of the World Cup.

The Cup was the ultimate wingman, as the 21-year-old NHL star -- who scored the winning goal in the Stanley Cup finals -- hoisted it over his head on his way into Industry nightclub.

We asked Kane if he was gonna score chicks with the Cup -- to which he simply responded, "I better."

Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young has officially apologized to his teammates for that whole strip club fight, noting that he's praying to God ... not for forgiveness ... but in the hopes that the NFL Commish won't "come down hard" on him.

After practice today, Young said, "I just made a mistake, I made a mistake even being there and I let that guy provoke me into doing what I did ... I pray to God that Roger Goodell doesn't come down hard on me, because I definitely want to be here for my teammates."

As you may have heard, SC was just hit with a hardcore punishment for some bad stuff that went on with the football program during Carroll's reign.

Ronaldo was voted the 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year.

Woods was seen driving around in Newport Beach late Saturday night -- wearing a spiffy blue party shirt.

Multiple sources who were inside Club Onyx tell TMZ the fight started when Vince went to take money out at the "cash cage." We're told Vince was complaining about a surcharge to withdraw money -- and that's when the manager got involved.

We're told the manager is from Oklahoma and flashed an upside down "hook 'em horns" hand signal and said "F**k the Longhorns" to Vince -- who, if you don't know, was a National Championship quarterback for the University of Texas Longhorns.

That's when Vince allegedly socked the manager in the face and had to be dragged out of the club, according to sources. Vince's reps haven't gotten back to us yet.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young is a suspect in an alleged assault that went down this morning at a strip club in Dallas ... this according to police.

The Dallas Police Department told KTVT the altercation occurred at Club Onyx at around 3:30 AM -- and that one person was injured.

KTVT is reporting that Vince is the prime suspect -- but a warrant has not yet been issued for his arrest.

A Titans rep says the team has been in touch with Vince -- and they "continue to gather additional information."

Robert O'Ryan -- who went looking for Shawn last year with two guns in his car and then broke into the set of "Dancing with the Stars" -- was also found guilty of carrying a loaded firearm in his car, as well as felony burglary.

Dennis Rodman wants the world to know he never fell behind on child support payments ... that is, the ones he could afford to pay.

Rodman's rep tells TMZ the former NBA star's estranged wife Michelle convinced a judge behind his back to jack up his child support ... and now he's in over his head.

Rodman claims he has been faithfully paying upwards of $10,000 a month since the beginning -- but the court hiked it to $50,000 a month and now he can't afford it.
