NFL star Adrian Peterson was arrested early Thursday morning in Houston, TX and charged with resisting arrest ... TMZ has learned.

Peterson, who is recovering from a torn knee ligament suffered on Christmas Eve of last year, was booked into Houston Police Department Central Jail and posted $1,000 this morning.

On the jail's website, Peterson's charge is listed as "RESIST ARREST/SEARCH-UNCLASSIF."

A rep for the Minnesota Vikings told ESPN Radio in Minneapolis, "We are aware of the situation and are gathering more information. At this point, we will have no further comment."

Kris Humphries finally got the news from ex-GF Myla Sinnaj -- the news TMZ broke -- that's she says she's 3 months pregnant and claims he's the dad -- but sources close to Kris tell us ... he's not convinced he's the daddy.

According to our sources, Kris didn't express his doubts to Myla ... but we're told he'll take a paternity test for proof positive.

As TMZ first reported, Myla is sure Kris is the baby daddy but wants to raise the baby on her own. But that could change, because we know Kris is making sounds he may get back together with her.

Our photogs spotted Myla yesterday, looking only mildly baby bumpy so far.

Kris Humphries is going to be a daddy -- at least that's what his ex-girlfriend says. Now if someone can just explain the birds and the bees to Kris ... he might be able to react to the news.

And now ... some photos of Hayden Panettiere in a really small, wedge-tastic bikini ... because it's summer.

Hayden hit the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico this week ... showing off her tiny physique as she tanned by the pool.

Increased appetite ... it's one of the clearest signs of pregnancy -- and earlier today, Kris Humphries' ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj finally got some relief ... dropping by a Five Guys in New Jersey ... with her new baby bump-looking belly.

It's pretty funny -- considering Kris' dad reportedly owns several Five Guys locations.

On her way out, we asked Myla about her alleged pregnancy -- but she didn't say a word.

Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose still isn't healthy enough to get on the court ... but he felt like hitting the club scene in Hollywood last night ... gimpy knee and all.

TMZ shot footage of the 23-year-old -- who tore his left ACL back in April -- limping his way out of The Roxbury nightclub around 1:30 AM ... surrounded by his entourage.

Yes, we know, we asked a stupid question considering the situation ... but still, Rose's appearance at the club is a pretty shocking move, considering he signed a $95 million contract extension back in December. Taking his busted knee to a place filled with stumbling, drunken people might not be the wisest decision.

Rose reportedly had surgery on the knee on May 12 -- and depending how his recovery goes, he could miss the start of next season.

Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson thinks African-Americans are more athletic thanks to slavery -- an explosive issue best handled by qualified professionals ... or us. Buckle up!

Kris Humphries may not be the sharpest tool, but he sure is potent, because TMZ has learned his ex-girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj is PREGNANT.

Sources directly connected with Myla tell us Myla confirmed Monday that she's 3 months pregnant and says Kris is definitely the father.

This could be used in Kris' divorce with Kim Kardashian, because Kris has claimed he was devastated by the break-up and suffered emotionally. This development further cements the fact that Kris moved on quickly.

We're told Myla plans to have the baby but wants to raise it alone, because she believes Kris has betrayed her by talking crap about their relationship.

But here's the rub ... We're told for the past 3 weeks, Kris and Myla have been communicating regularly.

Oh yeah, here's the other rub -- she hasn't told Kris yet.

Tim Tebow has begun training with some of the baddest men on the planet ... men who revolutionized the art of hand-to-hand combat ... the legendary Gracie family.

In case you're unaware, the Gracie family basically built the UFC -- and badasses like Royce Gracie have destroyed countless opponents by using a special form of Brazilian jiu-jitsu created by his father, Helio Gracie.

Now, the New York Jets quarterback has joined up with the Gracie family at their headquarters in Beverly Hills -- where he was training with Royce's nephew Ryron Gracie and UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub (in the grey shirt).

After the training session, the Gracie brother's tweeted about their newest pupil, "Everyone please give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Gracie Family."

U.S. Olympic legend Michael Johnson believes hard work only accounted for some of his record-breaking athleticism ... the rest can be chalked up to the fact that his ancestors were slaves.

Johnson -- one of the greatest Olympic sprinters of all time -- was talking to Sally Beck of the Daily Mail -- when he was asked about his world class athletic talent.

Johnson explained, "All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it's impossible to think that being descended from slaves hasn't left an imprint through the generations."

He added, "Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me -- I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us."

In 1999, Johnson set the world record in the 400 meter dash at 43.18 seconds. He still holds the title.

Boxing legend Jake "Raging Bull" LaMotta -- played by Robert DeNiro in the famous movie of the same name -- is being sued by MGM Studios because Jake green-lit a crappy sequel without its permission.

MGM claims it snagged the rights to produce a movie based on a book LaMotta co-wrote in 1986 -- "Raging Bull 2" -- as a sequel to the 1980 hit movie. MGM claims the deal was ... Jake could take the project somewhere else ONLY if MGM passed.

But according to the lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court -- LaMotta went behind MGM's back and shot a "low-budget B movie" that is so bad, it threatens the "integrity and value" of the original.

While bronzing his already golden muscled skin on a yacht in St. Tropez on Monday, soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo had more important things to do than pay attention to his ridiculously hot bikini clad girlfriend Irina Shayk ... like take a nap.

62-year-old super rich former Formula One manager Flavio Briatore -- who is the biological father of Heidi Klum's eldest daughter -- enjoyed the sight of his 32-year-old bikini-clad model wife Elisabetta Gregoraci in Sardinia, Italy the other day.

Who says money can't buy you happiness?

The Kardashians will not destroy the Los Angeles Clippers ... so says Chris Paul ... who's adamant Lamar Odom (and his family) will NOT be a distraction to the team next season.

Chris was leaving Cecconi's restaurant in L.A. with his wife last night when we asked about the newest addition to the Clip Squad ... who was just acquired in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks.

Not only is Paul convinced that Odom won't be a distraction ... he told us, "L.O. is one of the best players in the league, man."

In a move that was most certainly NOT "like Mike" ... Marcus Jordan, youngest son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, was arrested early this morning Omaha, NE.

Police tell the Omaha World-Herald ... Jordan (a member of the University of Central Florida's basketball team) was spotted outside a hotel at 2:10 AM by an off-duty officer who was working security for the hotel.

The officer said Jordan, who appeared to be intoxicated, was arguing with two females. Police told the paper Jordan became uncooperative when the officer approached him and it eventually took multiple police officers to handcuff him.

NY Jets star Antonio Cromartie is a grown ass man with 12 kids and until recently ... he was under a guardianship that had never been removed ... all because the necessary paperwork was never filed.

According to legal docs, the 28-year-old football stud was placed under the guardianship of his godmother, Kimberly Thomas, in 2001 ... when he was still a minor. The guardianship was put in place so he could continue to play football at Lincoln High School in Florida after his mother moved out of the county.

Fast forward 11 years and Cromartie was still under that guardianship because neither he nor Thomas filed the paperwork to dismiss the case.

A judge in the case asked for routine paperwork last month, which brought the oversight to the attention of Thomas' lawyer. The lawyer subsequently filed papers to end the guardianship, claiming Thomas hasn't done any "guardian" stuff since Cromartie's high school days.
