Can you SMEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL what Betty White is cookin?!??!

WWE got straight up "Golden" on "Monday Night Raw" last night ... when the 92-year-old appeared with Big Show and declared, "I'M GONNA KICK SOME ASS!!!"

The crowd went INSANE ... chanting, "BETTY! BETTY! BETTY!"

Unfortunately, Betty didn't actually wrestle ... but it's too bad this whole thing didn't happen 20 years earlier -- she could've settled the infamous beef with Bea Arthur IN THE RING!!

Fun Fact: Bea HATED Betty ... though Betty says she doesn't know why Arthur harbored the grudge.

Question: Darryl Strawberry and Charlie Sheen walk into a party in the '80s ... who does the first line of primo Colombian coke??

Turns out, Eric Davis can probably answer that question ... 'cause the former MLB superstar (who was BFFs with Darryl) tells TMZ Sports the Warlock was a member of his party crew back in the day.

Sheen is a die-hard Reds fan ... and Davis says Charlie used to hang out and practice with the squad during his run with Cincinnati.

Gabrielle Union is lying through her big, beautiful teeth ... at least when it comes to her pre-nup -- because she says she's demanding one with Dwyane Wade ... and it makes NO sense.

Union went on "Arsenio Hall" last night and said she's demanding a prenuptial agreement before they tie the knot "at my insistence."

She explained, "I gotta protect my stuff" ... adding, "When you have your own stuff you don't need to worry about anyone else's stuff."

Only problem is ... it's not HER stuff that needs protecting, since Dwyane has gotta be worth at least 10 TIMES what she's worth. In fact, he's currently toward the end of a 6-year, $107 million contract with the Miami Heat.

AND he's expected to sign ANOTHER HUGE CONTRACT sometime in the next year ... some say it could be worth as much as $100 mil.

Let's do some simple math. Even if she's worth $20 mil ... he could be somewhere in the $200 MILLION range.

So, if they continue that financial pattern and he makes 10-times what she makes ... she's saying she would rather walk away with a tenth of what she COULD get.

We got video of Mizzou footbal star Michael Sam shirtless and grinding in a gay club months ago ... long before his public announcement that he's gay. So, now that Michael's out ... will NFL teams think twice about drafting him?

Plus, NINE University of Tennessee football stars busted for one helluva house party! Are they guilty ... of doing what most college kids do? Tennesse football legend Eric Berry weighed in with his take on teammates partying hard.

The eyes have it ... infections, that is ... and now, FINALLY, Bob Costas will take a night off from Olympics coverage so his peepers can heal up.

Costas tapped Matt Lauer to take over the hosting duties from Sochi Tuesday ... saying, "Reluctantly, I was trying to throw a complete game here, but we're going to have to go to the bullpen, and I don't know if you're aware of this tonight, but you're Mariano Rivera, at least tonight."

Bob started his Olympic coverage with what appeared to be pink eye -- it was red and swollen shut -- and after a few days it appeared the other eye came down with the P.E. too.

So, the question remains ... WHO KEEPS FARTING ON BOB'S PILLOW???

Dennis Rodman has plunged back into the world of booze just days after his exit from rehab.

Sources at the E11even club in South Beach tell TMZ ... Rodman was there Friday ... downing kamikaze shots. We're told he arrived alone at around 10:30 PM and left at 2 AM so wasted he had to be helped out by strangers and poured in a cab.

The NYPost's Page Six broke the story ... quoting someone present saying, "Every time he would take one [a kamikaze shot] he would scream 'It's kamikaze time!'"

Rodman went into rehab after hobnobbing it with North Korean monster Kim Jong-un and subsequently drunkenly explaining his actions.

Terrell Owens says his estranged wife is lying -- insisting he's NOT broke ... and he vows to file divorce papers AGAINST HER as soon as he gets back into town.

We broke the story ... after two weeks of marriage, T.O.'s wife Rachel Snider says she left the NFL star and claims he only used her to get a loan for a home in Sherman Oaks.

But T.O.'s rep tells TMZ Sports bluntly -- "Money is NOT an issue for Terrell."

In fact, the rep says Terrell is the "primary" person on the loan -- and Owens is adamant he never hooked up with Snider for money.

"Come on, she’s a postal worker," the rep says ... adding, "Do you really think she’s the primary on the loan?”

The rep says T.O. is currently out of town working on a "new show coming out in March" (she wouldn't reveal details about the show) ... but says he plans to file for divorce as soon as he returns to California.

Seneca Wallace went to Japan ... and all he got was this weird black penis cookie.

The former Green Bay Packers QB -- along with other NFL stars -- went to Asia recently to visit U.S. troops stationed abroad. But when the guys stopped in the Land of the Rising Sun, they stumbled upon an interesting cultural artifact ... baby penis cookie (chocolate flavored).

We ran the cookie box by our in-house Japanese expert (Yori our camera guy) ... who tells us the Japanese word at the top of the packaging translates loosely to "weiner."

Seneca tells TMZ Sports he wasn't offended by the black penis cookie ... partially because "there was a vanilla flavor with a white baby on the cover."

Japanese desserts -- extremely weird ... but not overly racist!

Wrestling and bad costumes go hand-in-hand sometimes ... and WWE Superstar William Regal says when it comes to the worst of all time -- one wrestler's outfit blows away the competition.

From the Gobbledy Gooker to Max Moon ... the wrestling world has seen its fair share of bad costumes -- but on his way out of LAX Regal told us the costume Faarooq wore in his WWF debut (pictured below) is by far the worst ever.

In fact, Regal says Faarooq himself would admit it takes the cake for bad outfits.

DAMN!

Michael Sam's college quarterback tells TMZ Sports ... he and other teammates "accepted" the openly gay football star during their time at Missouri ... but they don't "support" homosexuality.

We spoke with James Franklin -- who just completed his senior year at U of M and just like Sam, is expected to be selected in the upcoming NFL Draft.

"I don't drink. I don't curse. I don't support [homosexuality] -- but it doesn't mean I don't accept Michael," Franklin says.

When asked if he was supportive of Sam when he made his announcement in August, Franklin said ... "I wouldn't say supportive, but accepting. A lot of people confuse supporting and accepting."

Still, Franklin says ... "Michael respected us. He didn't make us feel uncomfortable in the locker room."

Dwight Howard is finally cutting ties with the city of Orlando -- selling the amazing mega-mansion he abandoned there over two years ago ... for a HUGE loss, TMZ Sports has learned.

Dwight -- who was drafted by the Magic back in '04 -- originally dropped $7.78 mil on the 11,025 sq ft Longwood, FL property when it was built in '08 ... but now the place could be yours for a cool $4.9 mil.

The house is incredible ... built in the Gothic style and nicknamed the "Chateau D'Usse" -- after the famous French castle -- it has 5 bedrooms and comes complete with vaulted ceilings and fancy designer furniture.

It gets better, according to our friends at at Reatlor.com, you'll also find a massive kitchen with separate food prep area ... a large family room with two-side fireplace leading to a man cave (complete with pool table and wet bar) ... a temperature controlled wine cellar ... and a tiered movie theater.

But the outside is where things get really awesome ... there's a covered patio with fireplace and entertainment center ... an incredible pool with water-falls, water slides, a swim-in grotto ... and (best of all) a LAZY RIVER.

Michael Sam is one HELLUVA dancer -- in fact, the NFL prospect showed off his moves at a gay club in Missouri shot months ago and he didn't care who was watching ... now TMZ Sports has the footage.

Sam hit up the SoCo nightclub in Columbia, MO back in October -- just a few months after he came out to his teammates -- and let loose! So even though Sam made his public declaration Sunday, the reality is he's been out for a while.

In the footage, Sam (sans shirt) is gettin' down to Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" ... grinding all over a bunch of women, who seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Problem is ... shirts are required at the club -- and sources tell us at one point, security approached Sam and asked him to cover up.

He laughed at first ... but eventually complied.

US bobsledder Johnny Quin was just RESCUED from an evil Russian elevator ... just days after being trapped in a Russian bathroom ... and he just called in to TMZ Sports to tell us about his escape.

Quin was leaving the team hotel with the team bobsled pilot and a few team mechanics when the doors suddenly slammed shut ... and wouldn't open.

Quin says he tried to pry the elevator open ... but it wouldn't budge.

Fortunately, the guys had their cell phones and called for help ... and eventually got out.

The incident comes just two days after Johnny got trapped in his own bathroom ... and when no one came to his rescue, he used his bobsled skills to smash through the door like the Kool Aid man.

Michael Sam is "an instant hero in the gay and lesbian community" ... so says the brother of NFL commish Roger Goodell, who's also openly gay.

TMZ Sports spoke to Michael Goodell ... who says "it's about time" a top NFL prospect was brave enough to be open about his sexuality.

In fact, Michael compares Sam to Jackie Robinson -- saying because of the defensive end's courage, homosexuality in the NFL "won't be an issue in 10 to 20 years."

Michael -- who's very close with his brother -- says he hasn't spoken to Roger about Michael Sam yet ... but says he knows, "Roger is fine with this. He's a good businessman and he's been around this issue his whole life."

Nine members of the University of Tennessee football team were busted at a HUGE team rager over the weekend ... with booze, weed and FIGHTS, this according to the cops.

TMZ Sports has learned ... cops initially responded to an off-campus party in Knoxville just after midnight on Sunday morning after getting noise complaints. Cops say the party was hosted by Dontavis Sapp -- a former UT linebacker.

Cops say they went to talk to Sapp ... but he was clearly wasted ... and they tried to take him into custody. That's when, cops say, senior linebacker AJ Johnson stepped in ... and grabbed a cop by the shoulder, in an effort to keep Sapp from being arrested.

Johnson was "pulled to the ground" by one of the cops who says the football player "continued to resist arrest by pulling away and rolling around."

Cops say .... another player, 20-year-old defensive lineman Danny O'Brien, was also hammered and combative and was taken into custody "after a brief struggle."

Cops cited 3 other football players -- Curt Maggitt (LB), Jakob Johnson (LB) and Jalen Reeves-Maybin (LB) -- who allegedly provided booze and weed to underage party guests, including:

-- Dontavius Blair (OL)
-- Dimarya Mixon (DL)
-- Justin Coleman (DB)
-- Malik Brown (DL)

The 4 players were cited for underage drinking.

A spokesperson for UT tells us ... "We are aware of the situation and are still in the preliminary stages of gathering all facts and information."

Kate Upton's sending a message to her baseball star boyfriend -- get on your game or your gonna lose me ... to a guy who dresses up as a dragon for a living!

We got Kate BOUNCING (if you know what we mean) through LAX ... on her way back from Orlando, FL -- where, If you missed it, she got a marriage proposal from the Orlando Magic mascot over the weekend.

Thing is ... Stuff the dragon kinda snaked Kate's bf, Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander -- waiting until he walked away from their seats to pop the question..

Watch the vid (especially if you're Verlander) ... Kate says the proposal was a "huge honor" -- and definitely did NOT say she's turning down the dude who plays dress up.
