Oscar De La Hoya TALKS TO TMZ 'Greatly Appreciated' Mayweather's Apology
Oscar De La Hoya tells TMZ he accepts Floyd Mayweather's apology -- after Mayweather's team posted an Instagram pic mocking Oscar's substance abuse problems.
Oscar -- who recently checked himself into rehab after falling off the wagon -- was out with a group in L.A. yesterday for a coffee run at a Starbucks and appeared to be in good spirits.
On his way out, we asked Oscar about Floyd's Instagram apology -- and the Golden Boy told us, "It was very nice of him. I greatly appreciated it ... so, thank you."
As we previously reported, Mayweather claims he never authorized anyone to publish the original Instagram image -- and insisted he would "never personally disrespect [Oscar] or anyone else who struggles with addiction."
Andy Cohen I'm NOT Banging NHL Star Sean Avery ... But I'd Like To!
Andy Cohen is setting the record straight about the rumors he's gay-sexin' with his friend, NHL star Sean Avery ... telling TMZ it just ain't happening, but he wishes it was.
Cohen was leaving Highline Stages in NYC last night -- when we asked about the reports that he's engaged to the guy who used to date Elisha Cuthbert.
But Cohen blew off the allegations -- explaining, "Sean Avery is STRAIGHT. Do you understand that? So a gay guy and a straight guy should be able to be friends."
He continued, "Listen, I'd be happy if Sean and I were bangin' ... but it's not [happening]."
Stephon Marbury NYC Condo Teetering on Foreclosure
Stephon Marbury's about to lose his SECOND home due to foreclosure, at least if his bank gets its way ... because the former NBA star has allegedly failed to pay his mortgage yet again.
U.S. Bank International filed legal docs against Marbury, claiming he hasn't made mortgage payments on his 2-bedroom 2-bathroom NYC condo since March 2010, and currently owes $844,035 on the property ... which he purchased in 2006 for more than a million dollars.
U.S. Bank wants Marbury to pay the full amount NOW, or get the hell out ... so the condo can be sold at auction.
It's the second time a foreclosure action has been brought against Marbury since he left to play pro basketball in China -- just last year he lost his L.A. home at a foreclosure auction.
Fact is, he didn't really care then ... and he probably doesn't care now ... presuming he even knows about any of this. Calls to Stephon's lawyer weren't returned.

Floyd's Baby Mama to GF Karma's a Bitch ... And So Is Floyd's Penis
Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s current GF better not get too comfortable ... because the boxing legend is banging at least SEVEN other women behind her back -- so claims Floyd's baby mama Josie Harris.
Harris called in to "TMZ Live" today to explain her beef with Floyd's on-again-off-again girlfriend Shantel Jackson, after Jackson allegedly ripped off her 10-year-old daughter's dress at the big fight in Vegas on Saturday ... but the beef wasn't the bombshell.
Harris is clearly pissed, but says Jackson has bigger things to worry about than some 10-year-old's dress ... namely Floyd's parade of women he's banging on the side. You gotta watch the clip!
All that said ... Harris still feels the designer who sold Jackson the same dress committed a "cardinal sin" in the fashion world. Listen below.

Barack Obama Yells At Himself After Bad Golf Shot 'Not THAT Far Left'
The President of the United States just got a scolding ... from the President of the United States -- after he botched a golf shot ... and TMZ has the footage.
The video was taken on August 17 when Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard.
After B.O. sliced his shot, you can hear him yell something that sounds like, "C'MON BARACK ... not THAT far left."
He immediately assumed his golfing position and tried to recreate his swing in what appears to be an effort to diagnose the problem.
The footage was shot a considerable distance away from Barack and his 4-some ... probably due to the scary guys with earpieces and guns.

Floyd Mayweather APOLOGIZES to Oscar Addiction Should NOT Be Mocked
Floyd Mayweather has issued a full apology for a photo on his Instagram page that mocked Oscar De La Hoya's struggle with substance abuse ... though Floyd insists he never approved the photo to go up.
Mayweather came under fire yesterday ... because after he beat up Canelo Alvarez (who's signed to Oscar's boxing promotion company), a pic was posted on his Instagram page showing a crying De La Hoya along with the caption, "Meanwhile Back In Rehab."
Another caption on the picture read, "Oscar: I gave Canelo the wrong blueprint I was high."
Now, Floyd's speaking out ... with another Instagram post ... which reads, "It's unfortunate that a stupid picture was posted to my Instagram account earlier today that was not posted by me or authorized by me to post."
He adds, "I completely support Oscar De La Hoya and his family during this difficult time in his life. I stand by him unconditionally and would never personally disrespect him or anyone else who struggles with addiction."
"I also apologize to all of my followers for this ridiculous post. I have no ill-will towards anyone."
Kanye West Why He's Getting Prosecuted And Lamar Isn't
Kanye West is getting prosecuted for screwing with a photographer's equipment at LAX, but Lamar Odom basically did the same thing and he's not facing criminal charges ... and TMZ knows why.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... honchos in the L.A. City Attorney's Office cut Lamar a break because this is the first time he ever went on the attack against a paparazzo. You'll recall Lamar went into a photog's car and chucked his camera equipment into the street, damaging it. Lamar has been ordered to attend an informal hearing but will NOT face criminal charges.
Our sources say the reason they're going after Kanye is his history of attacking photographers. Specifically, the City Attorney has zeroed in on another incident at LAX back in 2008, when he grabbed a photog's camera and threw it to the ground. The case was filed, but later dismissed after Kanye paid for the repair.
It is unclear if the City Attorney will try to use prior incidents in Kanye's current criminal case to prove he has an M.O. -- i.e., ATTACK.

Floyd's Baby Mama Outraged Over 10-Year-Old Daughter's Fight Outfit
Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s baby mama is LIVID -- telling TMZ, her 10-year-old daughter was dressed up like some gold-digging hoochie at the big fight on Saturday ... and it's all one designer's fault.
The designer in question is Project Runway's Michael Costello -- and Floyd's baby mama Josie Harris tells us, Costello was hired to design a very special dress for the boxer's 10-year-old daughter Jirah to wear at the Canelo fight in Vegas (left).
Josie says the dress came out great -- but when they showed up to the fight, she noticed Floyd's on-and-off-again side piece Shantel Jackson wearing the same exact dress (right).
According to Josie, she paid Costello $795 for a one-of-a-kind dress, and now she's pissed the guy gave a replica to none other than Floyd's girlfriend ... who also sat ringside.
Josie tells us, "It's an unspoken rule and a cardinal sin for a 'real designer' to dress clients alike going to the same major event ... Tacky, tacky, tacky."
And Josie didn't stop there, turning her anger toward Jackson as well ... adding, "She is a total gold digger ... She conveniently came back around 2 days before Floyd got his $41.5 million check."
As for the designer, Costello says he will NOT be giving anyone a refund -- telling us, "No exclusivity was promised regarding the dress. If you want exclusivity, you need to pay more." Costello says his people told Miss Jackson that Floyd's daughter would be wearing the same dress and she didn't care.

Jillian Michaels 'I Guess I Need Cara to Train Me' 'Biggest Loser' Star Hits Back At Co-Star After Triathlon Diss
More smack talk in the war between two former "Biggest Loser" co-stars -- this time Jillian Michaels is firing back at Cara Castronuova with some good ol' fashioned venom-laced sarcasm.
We broke the story ... Cara -- who was a trainer on the show -- ripped Jillian apart over Michaels' poor showing at the Malibu triathlon earlier this month, calling her an embarrassment.
This weekend, Michaels returned to Malibu -- where she offered up some brand new excuses for her abysmal showing (bad wet suit, bike problems, a horse?) and vowed to do better in the race next year.
Then, it was open season on Cara.
Check out the clip -- we're guessing these two ain't opening a gym together anytime soon.

Floyd Mayweather MOCKS De La Hoya's Substance Abuse Problem
Floyd Mayweather doesn't think Oscar De La Hoya's stint in rehab is off-limits when it comes to talking smack -- and today, the boxer took a BIG shot at the Golden Boy's substance abuse issues on Instagram.
Money posted a meme featuring a picture of Oscar looking sad ... with the caption, "Meanwhile In Rehab."
Another caption reads, "Oscar: I gave Canelo the wrong blueprint I was high."
The pic is an obvious reference to Floyd's big victory over Canelo Alvarez this weekend ... which took place one day after Oscar (Canelo's fight promoter) checked himself back into rehab for substance abuse.
So, we gotta ask ...

Victor Cruz New Contract NEW FERRARI
Before the NFL season began, NY Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz promised ... if he got a new contract, he would get a new Ferrari.
It appears Victor is a man of his word.
Cruz was spotted pulling into MetLife Stadium in Jersey yesterday in what appears to be a Ferrari California convertible ... which reportedly starts around $200k.
Of course, Cruz signed a HUGE contract over the summer -- 5-year extension worth up to $43 MILLION. Before that, he was making close to the league minimum.
The Giants lost to the Broncos in the Manning Bowl yesterday ... but we're guessing Victor wasn't too bummed out on the drive home.
