Screw a Wheaties box, put these boys in a centerfold.

After losing to Belgium in the first round of the Olympics 0-1, the Oly-Whites (as they're called back home) broke out the Haka -- a traditional Maori war dance teams from NZ usually perform before a match to scare the holy hell out of the other team.

Here's little Mikey back in 1993 at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club.

All it takes to be a stud is 11 gold medals.

Olympian b-baller Dwyane Wade rode pine when he should've been out pimping his restaurant chain, and now his biz partners want serious jack -- we're talkin' $25 mil -- from Wade because of it.

A couple of guys who say they sunk millions into developing the D. Wade's Place restaurant concept have sued the hoopster for ditching what they claim were his marketing obligations. They also say Wade blew more than $350K on etching his uni number into the rims of his Rolls, and $30K for his 26th b-day bash.

Mark Rodberg and Richard von Houtman tell the Palm Beach Post they were supposed to have 13 restaurants by now -- but they only opened two, both of which are now closed.

That's basically the apology members of the Spanish Olympic Basketball team have issued to the Chinese people after mocking their eyes in a photograph that ran in a Spanish newspaper.

In a statement, Spain's Pau Gasol -- who's also a Laker in the NBA -- said, "It was something like supposed to be funny or something but never offensive in any way. I'm sorry if anybody took it the wrong way and thought it was offensive."

But wait -- it gets better. Another Spanish player, Jose Calderon -- who also plays for the Raptors -- wrote on his blog, "We felt it was something appropriate, and that it would be interpreted as an affectionate gesture." He added, "Without a doubt, some ... press didn't see it that way." DUUUUHHHHH!!?!?!!?

Confucius say: It's not wise to make fun of those who are different from yourselves.

Unbelievable footage of the Team USA star has surfaced on YouTube, showing Alicia throwing a punishing left hook into the face of a beefy, shirtless dude -- who appeared to have asked for it.

Wearing a shirt reading, "Born on the Streets," the guy famous for bringing hip-hop to SportsCenter brought his delicate, emotional side to a karaoke session at the Jimmy V classic afterparty in NC. Not only did Stu bust out the Edwin McCain rock ballad "I'll Be," he knew all the words without the aid of a TelePrompTer!

There's a highlight for ya. Da na na. Da na na.

The Spanish national basketball team, gold medal contenders at the Olympics in Beijing, was featured in a full page ad that shows the team pulling back at their eyes in a slanty-eyed gesture. According to the Guardian, the ad (which is for a freight company) ran in a Spanish newspaper.

It looks like Green Bay Packers New York Jets QB Brett Favre is selling out -- of his new jersey!

Sources tell TMZ that the QB has continued his record breaking ways by selling 3200 jerseys ... and counting! That sets a single day sales record and single day, single player jersey sales record.

Just as amazing -- it hasn't been 24 hours since the official announcement of the trade.

Favre's Green Bay jersey is the top selling jersey of all time.

They got to do what few mere mortals get to -- play a game of soccer with David Beckham on Tuesday.

Ex-NFL star Bernie Kosar says that his old biz partner is trying to strongarm him into shelling out over $100K -- by threatening to air his dirty laundry to the press.

And Bernie's getting a heavy rush from the tax man as well: the Miami Herald says that the IRS has filed a $228,000 lien against him on income tax owed for 2006, and he's also delinquent on his 2007 property tax, to the tune of $52K. Kosar is blaming the mailman on that one -- he says he just got the bills after moving.

Barry knows there's nothing like a little fun in the sun to take that edge off.

We're told reports that Kim is pulling diva moves and getting ignored by Reggie down at the Saints' training camp just ain't so. Our spies say Kim was cheering for her muscle man during practice, but Reggie couldn't hear her because everyone else was screaming too. We're told Kim has also ingratiated herself with all the other players' wives and after one of the games, she and Reggie even treated everyone to a screening of "The Dark Knight."

Sorry haters, but Kim is a team player.
