Bieber got some face time with some of the most famous people in the Staples Center -- including Denzel Washington, David Beckham, Jaden Smith ... and of course, the Laker Girls.

The 16-year-old even got some quality time with Phil Jackson's brand new championship ring.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (The Situation), tight end Todd Heap (Edward from 'Twilight'), and rookie linebacker Sergio Kindle (piiiiiiiiiimp) all dressed up for the Raven's Halloween Charity Bash at a Dave & Busters near Baltimore.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the guest list for tonight's NBA season opener at Boston's TD Garden -- and it includes a pile of New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox players and brass.

Included on the list: Patriots' players Deion Branch, Jerod Mayo, Brandon Meriweather, Wes Welker, Vince Wilfork, Fred Taylor, and team owner Robert Kraft.

Representing the Red Sox -- who started vacation early this year ... David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, team president and CEO Larry Lucchino and owner John Henry.

TMZ has learned ... San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom (right) and the mayor of Arlington, TX, Robert Cluck (left), have agreed to make a wager on the series.

Here's the deal -- each mayor has agreed that the loser will provide a day of community service in the winner's town while wearing a jersey of the winning team.

But there's more -- the losing mayor will also ship the winning mayor a bunch of delicious hometown goodies. If SF loses, Newsom has agreed to ship Dungeness crab, sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate and Anchor Steam beer.

If Texas loses, Cluck has agreed to ship over BBQ food from a local joint called Spring Creek BBQ ... said to be the best in TX.

The coven gathered this morning at 100.7 WMMS in Cleveland ... armed with a pentagram, pig and cow bones, a fake skull, and a voodoo doll to curse LeBron before tonight's Heat-Celtics matchup.

One of the evil chants -- "Tie a knot against the king. May he die without a ring."

Vince's beef is with a new directive from the Sec. of the State's office that gives officials the power to turn away anyone who wears WWE clothing within 75 feet of a polling place ... because it could be interpreted as a solicitation on behalf of Linda McMahon's candidacy.

In the documents, filed today in federal court in Connecticut -- McMahon claims the ban will "threaten the constitutional rights and liberties of voters who have expressed a desire to wear WWE paraphernalia to their poling places."

Vince also states in the docs that he will fight the power -- and "intends to wear WWE paraphernalia when he enters the polling place to cast his vote on November 2, 2010."

Vince -- who also notes that Linda is not employed by WWE -- is demanding that a judge immediately reverse the ban.

TMZ has obtained the police report, which says Maloof was going 72 MPH in a 45 MPH zone when he lost control of his vehicle trying to make a left turn and drove into oncoming traffic.

Maybe more significant -- Maloof told cops he popped an Ambien 20 minutes before losing control. Oh yeah, he also said he had 4 Coronas.

Maloof's blood alcohol level was .091 -- which exceeded the legal limit and does not account for the Ambien reaction.

The arresting officer also stated in the report, "[Maloof] almost backed into my parked police motorcycle while siren and lights activated, twice."

One final thing, in the report, the officer said to Maloof, "Without looking at your watch, do you know what time it is?"

The cop says, "[Maloof] looked down at both wrists, before saying, 'I don't know.'"

The accident happened last week, and in the lawsuit -- just filed in L.A. Superior Court -- Roman Gasparyan claims he was in the median, waiting to make a left turn when Eva ... driving in the opposite direction ... "made a sudden lane change into the median lane" and collided with him.

According to the suit, both Eva and Roman were driving BMW X5s -- his a 2002, hers a 2010. In addition to the SUV damage, he claims he suffered mental and physical suffering -- and he's suing for unspecified damages.

By the way, Tony Parker was not involved in the accident, but the three-time NBA champ is the registered owner of the BMW. Eva, through her rep, says, "There is absolutely no truth to this claim, and any indications to the contrary are completely false and untrue."

As Kobe left a practice session in El Segundo, CA yesterday -- the Los Angeles Lakers superstar had a religious experience ... caught on tape.

Check out the video -- this random woman is either crazy or a genius ... because the whole "I prayed for you" thing scored her two autographs from the Lord of the Rings.

Jessica White -- who's been linked to Sean Penn and Terrell Owens -- was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly smacking another woman "numerous times in the face."

The fight reportedly began while White was attempting to hail a cab. According to the police report, White struck the other woman in the face "causing lacerations, swelling, and substantial pain."

Stefan Porwoll -- the manager at the Oberhausen Sea Life Center, where Paul lived -- said Paul "appears to have passed away peacefully during the night, of natural causes."

Paul rose to international fame this summer when he correctly predicted all seven of Germany's World Cup matches -- as well as the final between Spain and the Netherlands. Paul picked the winners by choosing between two food containers that had the competing teams' flags attached to them.

He was two years old.

During Sunday night's premiere episode -- there was one official cast member missing from the show, Mercedes Nelson (left) ... reportedly the ex-girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber.

Multiple sources involved with the production tell us hell broke loose while the girls were taping a scene recently ... after Nelson "flipped out" and threw a bunch of tabletop items at Chanita Foster (right).

We're told producers shut down production and "came to an agreement" that it would be best for Mercedes to leave the show because it just "wasn't for her."

Mercedes was suspiciously absent from Sunday night's premiere ... but VH1 is adamant that she wasn't asked to leave, explaining, "She only ended up being in a few episodes due to story lines."

Despite an intense standoff between Lesnar and The Undertaker at UFC 121 this weekend -- in which Undie challenged Brock to a fight -- UFC president Dana White tells us, "Brock Lesnar is still under contract with the UFC ... he is not going to wrestle in the WWE. He cannot wrestle, box or fight anywhere else.”

Back when Brock fought with the WWE, he and Taker had a pretty nasty rivalry -- and The Undertaker claims he still has "personal" issues with the former UFC champ.
