Bosh and the giraffe were debuting their new "Got Milk" ad at the L.A. Convention Center -- and the giraffe made it clear it didn't want to be there.

Luckily, the handler was able to regain control of the animal ... and no one was hurt.

The party is supposed to be INSANE -- with organizers dropping roughly $50,000 to give Boulevard 3 nightclub an Asian-themed makeover in honor of Kobe enshrining his hands and feet at Grauman's Chinese Theater earlier that day.

But not just any schmuck with a wad of cash will be allowed to get all schmoozy with Kobe -- event producer Jeru Tillman tells us they will have a vigorous screening process for anyone who wants to purchase a VIP table near Kobe's private section.

So far, no word on why Vick pulled the plug.

Mike has one hell of a story to tell -- after seemingly turning his life around and putting together an unbelievable season with the Eagles after being out of the game for two years.

UPDATE: Vick released a statement saying, “After careful consideration, I will need to postpone the taping of the Oprah Winfrey interview scheduled for February 22."

The woman -- who called herself Paige -- went on the air Tuesday claiming she and Chad had a secret affair and she is now 3 months pregnant with his kid.

But sources close to Chad -- who's engaged to "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada -- tell us Ochocinco is adamant the woman is merely giving birth to a BS rumor ... because the two have never, ever met in person.

We're told Ocho exchanged some Twitter messages with the woman more than a year ago ... but insists nothing ever came from it.

Sources at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada tell TMZ, reports of Simpson being beaten to a "bloody pulp" during a prison yard fight were so ridiculous, guards pulled O.J. from his cell ... just to tell him about the crazy rumors.

Simpson found the mass confusion incredibly entertaining -- in fact, we're told he "laughed his ass off" at reports of the racially-motivated prison attack.

It's an unbelievable story -- Lozito was brutally attacked and stabbed in a NYC subway train on Saturday by Maksim Gelman -- who had been targeted in a massive manhunt after allegedly murdering four people and injuring five during a 28-hour stabbing spree.

But after being stabbed in his head and his arm --Lozito managed to drop Maksim with a single leg takedown ... a move he learned from 20 years of watching the UFC.

Cops swooped in moments later and took Maksim into custody.

Bieber was kickin' it with the Globetrotters backstage at "Lopez Tonight" last week ... when the professional ballers broke out some of their best moves -- and Bieber managed to keep up.

It all went down at the Dubai Desert Classic -- and after the incident, golf officials announced Woods would be fined for breaching the tour code of conduct.

So far, no word on how much cash Tiger will have to cough up for the spit shot.

The 60-year-old "Caddyshack" star was teamed up with pro golf star D.A. Points -- and together, they rallied to a come-from-behind victory in the last round.

After winning the tourney, Murray told reporters, "I didn't know what to do with myself. Holy cow, I think I can die now."

It's a Cinderella story.

The health conscious lovers worked on their fitness together in Miami Beach this weekend.
