Kimbo Slice -- the real-life street fighter who became a cyber-punching superstar -- tells TMZ ... he's gearing up for another brawl in November ... and he's gunning for BUTTERBEAN.

39-year-old Slice was in Calabasas on Tuesday when we asked about his boxing career (he's undefeated as a pro, btw) and that's when Kimbo told us he's got his sights set on the King of the Four Rounder.

"Hopefully, if Butterbean plays his cards right we'll go at it," Slice told us ... "I like beans."

Butterbean is 47-years-old now ... and hasn't won a sanctioned boxing match since 2007 ... but he's still hungry for a fight.

No word on what's holding up the match -- but until they get the deal signed, here's a clip of Butterbean beating up Johnny Knoxville in a shopping mall ...

It's the kind of "Storage Wars" story that would make Dave Hester proud -- some guy in Maryland bought a unit for $300 at a storage auction recently only to find more Dikembe Mutombo memorabilia than you can shake a giant finger at.

The winning bidder is Adrian Petrus ... who competed for the contents of a forceclosed unit -- and just like on "Storage Wars," Adrian had no idea what was inside.

So you can imagine how pumped he was when he opened the locker and realized the whole thing was packed full of Mutombo items -- signed basketballs, shoes, jerseys, trading cards and photos of Dikembe with celebs like Michael Jackson and Nelson Mandela.

The locker also contained works of art painted and signed by Mutombo's brother.

So who would abandon such an incredible cache of Dikembe stuff?

Turns out, the unit belonged to one of Dikembe's brothers ... who lost the locker recently after missing several rental payments.

We're told the brother had gone back to the Congo to deal with family issues in the wake of his father's death -- and simply forgot to make his locker payments. Sucks.

Petrus tells us .. once he realized what he had, he reached out to Dikembe to try and make a deal to return the items ... but never heard back. So, naturally, the next step ... is eBay.

Oscar De La Hoya has just checked himself back into a rehab facility ... two years after completing a stint in treatment for cocaine and alcohol.

De La Hoya revealed the news in a statement to the media, explaining why he won't be ringside during the Mayweather vs. Canelo fight this weekend, one of the biggest fights ever put on by his Golden Boy Promotions company.

"I will not be at the fight this Saturday to cheer Canelo to victory since I have voluntarily admitted myself into a treatment facility," De La Hoya said.

"I explained this to Canelo and he understood that my health and longterm recovery from my disease must come first."

"Thank you for your understanding. I ask for your support and privacy during this difficult time for me and my family."

Oscar checked into rehab back in 2011 -- and in a previous interview said, "My drug of choice was cocaine and alcohol."

SF 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick just made a BET with Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson -- whoever loses when they face off this weekend has to shave an eyebrow.

The wager was captured on video in a commercial for EA Sports -- they even shook hands -- and Colin warned Wilson, "Hope you don't like your eyebrow."

It'll be interesting to see if the losing QB actually lives up to the bet ... unlike Green Bay Packers QB/chicken enthusiast Aaron Rodgers ... who still hasn't paid up after losing a bet to Boyz II Men last season.

Just a warning to Colin and Russell -- don't let your mouths write checks your eyebrows can't cash ... you'll never live it down.

Right Aaron?

Lamar Odom says he's absolutely NOT a drug addict ... doesn't need professional help ... and is confident he'll play in the NBA next season.

He's wrong on all 3 counts.

33-year-old Odom went to Teru Sushi in Studio City last night ... and after taking some photos with fans, he finally addressed the media about drug issues in his life ... claiming everything is hunky-dory.

Problem is ... Odom is clearly in denial. As we've previously reported, just about everyone in his life -- personally and professionally -- knows about his battle with substance abuse, including his wife Khloe Kardashian.

In the last year alone, Lamar's been thrown out of hotels ... busted for DUI ... spent time in rehab ... and dropped from multiple NBA teams.

Still, Lamar insists ... "Life is good."

Aaron Hernandez wasn't watching when Tom Brady and his former Patriots teammates mounted a comeback against the Buffalo Bills this past weekend ... 'cause he's NOT allowed to watch football on TV during his stint behind bars, TMZ has learned.

Sheriff Hodgson of the Bristol County Jail tells us, "While Mr. Hernandez and many other inmates would like to watch football, it is just not part of our policy here ... so that will not be happening. “

Hernandez does have an hour of free time per day ... so, in theory, someone could call him on the phone and play the TV really loud so he can follow along with the action -- but what's the fun in that?

Lamar Odom is getting a ton of support from fans in downtown L.A. ... where he kept up his strange nocturnal movements Monday night.

We spotted Lamar in his black track suit just after 10 PM in the the lobby of the apartment building where he's now living -- and he was posing for photos with several fans.

Lamar posed for photos with at least 3 fans -- including a middle-aged woman and her family -- before making an exit through the building's parking garage.

Lamar's been seen multiple times in the last few days wandering near the building late at night -- and sure isn't, outwardly anyway, acting like a guy in the grips of a serious crack addiction.

Not to mention being right on the verge of destroying his NBA career, and his marriage to Khloe Kardashian.

Smile and the whole world smiles with you?

Who could possibly be upset at amassing a $35 million fortune in their lifetime? Bodybuilding icon Joe Weider ... 'cause he should be worth WAYYYYY more than that.

TMZ has obtained Weider's will -- filed with the court after he passed away in March at the age of 93. According to the docs, Weider's estate was worth $35 mil.

So, why is the $35 million smackeroos a bit of a disappointment?? Allow us to explain:

First, Weider was the undisputed KING of bodybuilding for more than 50 years and slapped his name on everything from dumbbells to workout gloves. Cha-ching.

Next ... Weider not only co-founded the Mr. Olympia contest, he launched multiple uber-successful fitness magazines including Muscle & Fitness, Shape and Men's Fitness. Cha-Ching.

But the biggest reason we're shocked at the number -- Joe founded Weider Nutrition in 1936 (which many consider the first sports nutrition company) ... which later became Schiff Nutrition International ... which was bought out by a German food company in 2012 for $1.4 BILLION!

CHA-CHIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!

Problem is ... judging from his will, it appears Joe may have gotten rid of his ownership in the company before it blew up ... and in his final days, he was forced to live on his meager $35 million.

How much does it cost to sit courtside at Game 7 of the NBA finals? According to a new lawsuit ... $25,000 PER SEAT ... and Floyd Mayweather Jr. still hasn't paid his enormous bill (allegedly).

Mayweather was just sued by a company called White Glove International, which says Mayweather hired it on June 20th to purchase 3 courtside seats to Game 7 in Miami between the Heat and the Spurs.

FYI, Game 7 was on June 20th ... which means Mayweather purchased the tickets the day of the game. Pretty ballsy.

According to the lawsuit, each ticket cost $25,000. White Glove says Mayweather also purchased an additional ticket in the first row for $5,000. Four tickets total.

All told, the bill came to $80,000 ... and White Glove says Mayweather still hasn't covered the tab.

It's suing for the entire sum plus interest. Calls to Mayweather's camp weren't returned.

"Biggest Loser" mega-trainer Jillian Michaels shocked everyone at the Malibu Triathlon -- by totally sucking at, y'know ... being in shape and stuff.

Why choose to succeed when failure is an option, right JM?

Here is horned Houston Texans' mascot "Toro" raging on the field (left) -- and the electrifying San Diego Chargers mascot "Bolt" shocking the crowd (right).

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Wladimir Klitschko have taken cyber-flirting to a whole new level ... exchanging topless selfies of each other ... and it's weird.

It all started last week, when Klitschko took off his shirt and did his best Arnold flexing impression in front of a classic photo of the bodybuilding legend (see below).

WK tweeted the pic at Arnold and included a note -- "Trying to catch u since I'm 12."

Arnold, obviously flattered by the pic tweeted back, "Great shot! It’s fantastic to see one of my favorite champions nailing my pose."

The weird part -- the 66-year-old added, "Right back at you" ... and attached a topless pic of himself doing a Klitschko impression in front of an old fight poster that featured the boxer.

Somewhere, Geraldo Rivera is super jealous.

The lawyer who lived with Lamar Odom for 6 weeks in June and July tells TMZ ... Lamar was doing crack in her apartment.

Polina Polonsky is a criminal defense lawyer who met Lamar in the Spring at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. She told us on TMZ Live ... he was smoking crack and doing other drugs while he stayed with her ... but she says things really spun out-of-control when he moved out.

Polina tells us Lamar became paranoid while he lived with her ... taking the battery out of his phone because he felt he was being followed with the aid of a GPS device. He also covered the smoke detectors with paper towels.

Polina says Khloe Kardashian came banging on the door in July, barged in, took charge and took Lamar out. She received a text from Lamar shortly after he left, calling her a "groupie, junkie ... crack head." She says she knows it wasn't Lamar who sent the text ... it was Khloe.

I think it went blech, blech, blech ... I think it went grrble, grrble, grrble ...

So, it wasn't exactly the Best Puke Ever ... but Louis Tomlinson from One Direction yacked his face off during a charity soccer match in Europe this weekend ... and it was all caught on tape.

The boy bander had just passed the ball off to a teammate, when Gabriel Agbonlahor -- a really good pro soccer player -- came flying in and knocked Louis on his ass.

Louis rolled around in pain clutching his leg (like soccer players do) ... but eventually got up and made his way to the sidelines.

But as soon as he got off the field, Tomlinson upchucked ... spewing all over the sidelines.

What happens after Jon Cryer falls off his bike? HE GETS BACK ON ... even if that crash was super bloody and required 3 months of rehab.

After that brutal wipe out at the 2012 Nautica Malibu Triathlon, the "Two and a Half Men" star RETURNED to compete at the event this weekend ... and unlike last year, he finished without injury.

After the race, Cryer told TMZ ... it took 3 months of intense physical therapy to recover from the 2012 crash ... a crash that occurred when Cryer lost control of his bike when speeding down a hill, resulting in some serious road rash.

Bottom line -- Cryer's sort of a badass.

Congrats dude.

Here's a photo of Clipper's center DeAndre Jordan outside of Beacher's Madhouse Theatre in Hollywood last weekend having a short chat with one of his fans.

DeAndre is 6'11 -- the other is ... not close.

Discuss.
