NBA Star Nick Young I'm No Rapist It's Not My DNA
Ex-Philadelphia 76ers star Nick Young couldn't possibly be guilty of raping the woman who's suing him, because his DNA doesn't match the DNA police collected from her ... according to documents Young just filed.
In Young's legal response to his accuser ... he says the lack of DNA evidence should be enough to dismiss her sexual battery lawsuit -- and further, he claims the woman is just making a money grab.
As TMZ first reported back in May ... the woman claims Young drugged her and raped her after they met at Crown Bar in West Hollywood.
Police felt there were a lot of holes in her story, and dropped their investigation, but she promptly filed a civil suit against Young.
Young ... who now plays for the Lakers ... is asking the judge to toss the case.

Aaron Hernandez Fiancee Indicted In Murder Case
The fiancee of ex New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez ... along with Hernandez's cousin ... were indicted today .. in connection with the Odin Lloyd murder case.
According to the Bristol County, MA D.A.'s Office Shayanna Jenkins -- Aaron's fiancee and baby mama -- was hit with a single count of perjury. No further detail has been provided on her charge.
Tanya Singleton -- Aaron's cousin -- was charged with Conspiracy to Commit Accessory After the Fact. Translation: authorities believe she helped one of Aaron's alleged accomplices get outta dodge ... by buying him a bus ticket to Florida.
That guy, Ernest Wallace, was eventually arrested in FL, and charged with being an accessory to Lloyd's murder.
Singleton has already pled not guilty to a criminal contempt charge -- authorities say she refused to testify before the Grand Jury in the murder case.
Jenkins and Singleton were not arrested ... and they don't have a court date scheduled yet.
Jenkins faces up to 2-and-a-half years in a county jail if convicted on the perjury charge ... but sources close to the situation tell us she would likely only get six months to a year. She could also be hit with a $1,000 fine.
If she goes to jail ... child services would have to make arrangements with Jenkins' family for the care of her child ... since both parents -- Hernandez and Jenkins -- would be behind bars.

Lamar Odom Planning MASSIVE Anniversary Surprise for Khloe
Lamar Odom came back to L.A. from the Palm Springs area Wednesday night and got a MASSIVE amount of cash ... and he's telling people he's spending it on an anniversary present for Khloe Kardashian.
Sources connected to Lamar tell us ... he wants to surprise Khloe with something big today -- for their anniversary -- that will blow her away. We're told he plans to spend "well over $100,000" on a present. Sadly, he doesn't understand the only thing that would achieve the goal of blowing Khloe away -- in a good way -- would be if he lays off crack and goes to rehab.
Lamar told people on Thursday he wants to take Khloe to Santa Barbara today where they would spend the night. Our Kardashian sources say there's no way Khloe is going anywhere with Lamar given his current state.
As for Khloe, we're told she's not giving up on the marriage but she's pessimistic. One person who regularly speaks to Khloe told us she's saying, "I'm just hoping for a miracle."

Michael Jordan ANOTHER Love Child Lawsuit You Knocked Me Up, Now Pay
It's like deja vu all over again -- Michael Jordan has just been sued by another woman claiming he's the father of her baby ... but just like last time, MJ says she's a fame whore liar out for cash.
Laquetta Theus filed the paternity suit in Georgia, claiming she gave birth to Juyana Rachelle Henderson in August 2010 ... and MJ's the daddy.
Shocker, Laquetta's out for child support ... big time ... she even wrote on her Facebook profile, "Michael Jordan, when are you going to support your 2-year-old daughter? You drop 10 million on your nice wedding ... that was nice but don’t you think it time that you support your daughter?"
Laquetta's lawsuit is pretty much a carbon copy of a suit that was filed against Jordan earlier this year by Pamela Smith, who made nearly identical claims. Pamela's claim has already been tossed out.
As for Laquetta ... Jordan filed legal docs claiming her kid's paternity has already been established. Some other guy's the baby daddy -- not him.
And we haven't even mentioned the picture ...

Floyd Mayweather Jr. ANOTHER VICTORY With $150,000 at Stake
Floyd Mayweather isn't just the champ in the ring .... he's also the champ in court, beating down a music producer who accused him of jacking a song beat back in 2008.
You might recall, producer Anthony Lawrence Dash sued Money May in 2010 over a song the boxer used as entrance music during his 2008 appearance at WWE's Wrestlemania 24 (skip to 2:32 in the video). Dash said the beat in the song was his, and Floyd used it without permission.
Dash sued Mayweather, WWE, and others for at least $150,000 in damages -- but a judge recently ruled in Mayweather's favor.
According to the ruling, Dash wasn't entitled to a cut of the profits from Mayweather's use of the song ... because he couldn't prove Mayweather even made money off the song in the first place (same with WWE).
Bottom line: Dash lost ... and unlike Canelo, he didn't even get a consolation prize.

Christopher McDonald 'Last Call' for Booze & Pics At Yankees Game
Christopher McDonald earned his Yankees fan pinstripes last night by being the coolest guy ever when an obnoxious fan interrupted his night at the Stadium.
It went down during the late innings of future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera's final game at Yankee Stadium ... so an important game for a native New Yorker like Christopher to enjoy without being disturbed.
But you gotta see how he handled a young lady -- who may or may not have been over-served ... and wanted nothing more in life than to have a photo with Shooter McGavin. Total class act.
As the beer lady put it during the clip ... "Last call, last call!!"
Hey Chris, at least the fan left before Mariano took the mound.
Note: No beer was spilled in the taping of this clip.
Todd Helton We're Keeping the Horse Of Course, Of Course
Todd's wife Christy tells TMZ ... they had no idea the Rockies would be gifting him a horse during his send off -- but it's not a problem ... cause they just happen to have a 4,000 acre ranch (perks of earning more than $160 million).
We're told the horse -- named A Tru Bustamove -- is worth $45,000 and the Heltons already have a nickname for him ... "Busta."
Woo ha! Woo ha!!

Lamar Odom On Crack Binge ... With 2 Women
Lamar Odom is holed up in a private home in a gated community 100 miles from L.A. ... and his life is now revolving around smoking crack and partying with 2 young women -- and he's intimate with one of them.
Multiple sources privy to Lamar's current state tell TMZ ... Lamar has a driver who is regularly shuttling back and forth from L.A. to his rental home with one purpose -- scoring drugs, including crack.
We're told Lamar is so paranoid ... he insists the driver only buy small quantities of crack at a time, so as not to draw too much attention to him -- and that means frequent trips to score the drug.
Lamar almost never leaves the home. He's smoking crack and partying with the 2 women, both in their early 20s. His life now revolves around smoking crack and listening to rap music.
Our sources say Lamar is extremely paranoid about getting caught. He believes people -- not the 2 girls -- are watching him so he's using a phone app that allows him to text people but the texts are automatically deleted once the texts are read. The app also notifies Lamar if they try and screenshot the message.
Lamar's best friend is also staying at the house.
We're told Lamar has been living in 3 different residences in the last 2 months -- partly because he feels if he stays on the move he won't get caught.
As for Khloe ... we're told Lamar isn't worried that she'll leave him. He says he knows she loves him and has stood by him throughout the entire drug saga so he's convinced she won't abandon him now.
Detroit Lions' Nate Burleson My Truck's a Pizza Junk!
Detroit Lions' wide receiver Nate Burleson didn't just break his arm when he crashed -- while reaching for a pizza box -- based on this pic TMZ obtained ... his sweet SUV is dunzo.
Burleson's 2009 GMC Yukon -- or what's left of it -- was hauled by flatbed to a GMC dealership Wednesday in suburban Detroit.
As we told you ... Burleson told police he swerved into a median when he tried to save a pizza from sliding off the front seat.
The SUV is clearly out for the season, but the good news for Detroit is ... its owner is expected to be back on the field before the end of the season.
Next time? Delivery, Nate ... delivery.

Lamar Odom Arrest Warrant Looms
Lamar Odom could be a wanted man Friday ... TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story ... Lamar was arrested last month for DUI. His arraignment is set for Friday. He's not required to show up in court to enter a plea -- his lawyer can do the trick.
Here's the problem. If no one shows up, the judge will issue a bench warrant for Lamar's arrest. And based on what we know, if cops find Lamar ... they will also find plenty of illegal drugs.
As we reported ... Kris Jenner contacted famed lawyer Robert Shapiro to represent Lamar, but that was before Lamar went MIA on the Kardashian family.
TMZ reported several weeks ago ... Shapiro would ONLY take the case if Lamar would seek treatment for his addiction. We are positive ... Lamar is not only refusing treatment, he's deeper into drugs than ever before.
It's unclear if Shapiro will change his tune and represent Lamar. It's also unclear if Lamar has even formally hired Shapiro.
There is one way Shapiro can help Lamar dodge an arrest warrant -- by going to court Friday, and asking the judge to put off the arraignment for a few weeks while Lamar nails down who will rep him.
Stay tuned.

Hugh Douglas Busted For Assaulting Woman [Mug Shot]
Former NFL star and ESPN analyst Hugh Douglas was arrested for the assault of a woman in Connecticut, and TMZ has the mug shot.

Lamar Odom Trashes His Father Kardashians Are My Only Family
Lamar Odom is breaking his silence to rip his own father to shreds for claiming that Khloe Kardashian and her mother drove Lamar into crack addiction -- and he's also acknowledging, for the first time, he's in a "dark" place.
In the scathing message Lamar says, "How can a man who has NOT once called me to check on my well being have the nerve to talk so recklessly about his own 'son'. He is my downfall!"
Lamar's angry letter, posted on Twitter, is a response to a published interview with Lamar's father, Joe Odom, in which he claimed the Kardashians cursed Lamar, ruined his career, and put so much pressure on him that he turned to drugs.
Joe also called Kris Jenner "an evil bitch."
Lamar's retort to his dad -- who's also battled drug addiction -- continues, "I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of s**t. He wasn't there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons."
And Khloe's estranged husband fiercely defends her family, saying ... "He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time."
By "dark time" he could mean separation from Khloe, but as we've been telling you ... Lamar is deep in the grips of drug addiction -- so it could also be his first public admission of that battle.
Lamar added ... his father's "demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me."
As for his current struggles -- addiction, marriage, basketball career -- Lamar says, "Only person 2 blame is myself. Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this!"

Troy Polamalu I'm Not Cutting ALL My Hair ... Are You Nuts?
Badass NFL safety and hair god Troy Polamalu will NOT go full Samson for an upcoming charity event, and his biggest sponsor couldn't be happier ... TMZ has learned.
Stories have been circulating the Pittsburgh Steelers star had agreed to cut his legendary locks for something called the "Veterans of Foreign Wars Mane Event" on Veterans Day.
The reports were misleading (perhaps intentionally) ... giving people the impression Troy was cutting ALL of his hair, but that's not true.
A rep for Head & Shoulders -- which has a long-term endorsement deal with Polamalu, and even insured his mane for $1 million -- tells us the haircut will be more ceremonial than anything.
We're told Troy will only chop a few locks as a symbol of support for veterans, and H&S fully backs him taking a little off the top ... metaphorically.
Makes sense ... Troy's hair is not only a money maker, it's his trademark. Cutting it off would be like Carrot Top going blonde, or Jonah Hill losing weight.
Then again, the Steelers are 0-3 this season.
