Kim Kardashian's husband is well aware of his wife's XXX past ... but sources close to Kris Humphries tell us, "He could care less about the sex tape."

In fact, we're told Kris truly had "no idea" who Ray J was when Kim's sex tape partner sat next to the NBA star on a recent flight from L.A. to New Orleans.

But after a few hours on the plane, Ray J finally approached Kris and said, "Come on, You know who I am ... I just want to say congratulations." Kris reportedly replied, "Oh yeah, yeah I know who you are."

Sources close to Humphries tell us, "Kris really didn't know who he was" ... but once Ray J reminded him, it didn't matter to him because Kris is simply not bothered by Kim and Ray J's previous relationship.

Kim Kardashian dragged new hubby Kris Humphries along to tape her reality show in NYC and you could almost see him thinking ... "What have I gotten myself into?" Or maybe we're just projecting that on him.

Oscar De La Hoya is opening up about why he checked himself into rehab -- claiming he was abusing cocaine and alcohol, cheating on his wife ... and even considering suicide.

The boxing icon spoke with Univision -- saying, "There were drugs, my drug of choice was cocaine and alcohol. Cocaine was recent. The last 2 years, last 2-and-a-half years and I depended more on the alcohol than the cocaine."

De La Hoya says he's been sober for three months -- but he's still undergoing treatment. He also says he's joined Alcoholics Anonymous.

The boxer says he thought about killing himself, but ultimately decided he did not have "the strength" and "courage" to do it.

Oscar also revealed that he cheated on his wife -- explaining, "We are obviously not talking Tiger Woods here, but I was unfaithful."

Former TNA wrestler Matt Hardy is NOT in the middle of a suicidal crisis ... despite a cryptic message he posted on YouTube starting with, "Goodbye, World" -- and ending with, "September 23, 1974 - August 31, 2011."

Hardy -- who was busted for DWI earlier this month and fired from TNA -- posted the message late Tuesday ... but when TMZ contacted Hardy he was fine.

Hardy was apologetic saying the post "was not in any way a suicide note. I want to reassure everyone that I am doing great right now."

Matt believes the statement was really about his last 2 weeks since the DWI arrest -- and that he feels it's time for a change. He adds, "I went from being the guy who wanted to change the world, entertain and inspire people to being someone who was more concerned about shock value."

He claims the YouTube post is the last of his over-the-top antics and he's going back to the "Old Matt Hardy."

All LeBron James did was say two little words about the NBA lockout -- but that was enough to spark a HUGE battle between Harvey and Charles. No ... apparently we can't all get along

LeBron James celebrated his girlfriend's 25th birthday last night with a romantic double date in New York ... alongside fellow NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony and his wife ... and TMZ has the footage.

The foursome was all smiles as they left the Waverly Inn in NYC -- but the biggest question ... WHO PAID?

The Waverly Inn ain't cheap -- but LeBron is in the middle of a 6-year $110 million contract and Carmelo recently inked a deal with the Knicks worth $65 million for 3 years.

Former NBA player Javaris Crittenton has been arrested after trying to board an airplane in Orange County, CA.

Crittenton had checked in for a flight to Atlanta last night, where his lawyer said he was going to surrender in a murder case. He was taken to an L.A. police station and booked on suspicion of being a fugitive from justice, the FBI confirms to the Washington Post.

Javaris, who played for the Washington Wizards, was wanted for murder in the shooting death of 22-year-old Julian Jones.

Retired MLB player Sammy Sosa proved he's still a baller by partying and throwing cash into a belly dancer's skirt at Lavo in NYC on Sunday.

Cocaine ... hangovers ... and mug shots -- Mike Tyson and Charlie Sheen are a match made in Comedy Central Roast heaven ... and TMZ has learned Iron Mike is officially on board to skewer the Warlock next month.

Sources heavily involved with the Roast tell us ... Mike will be on the dais on September 10 ... along with Steve-O from "Jackass" ... comic Anthony Jeselnik and Roast legend Jeff Ross.

Cops in Atlanta have issued an official WANTED POSTER for former NBA player Javaris Crittenton -- who is suspected of murdering a 22-year-old woman in Atlanta earlier this month.

Crittenton is considered "armed and dangerous" -- and cops promise anyone who can offer any information on his whereabouts will not have to testify in court.

Cops are offering a cash reward for any information leading to his arrest -- but it's unclear how much money is up for grabs.

Floyd Mayweather's next opponent is the total package ... in more ways than one ... and last week, he let it all hang out in a SUPER-REVEALING underwear photo shoot ... and TMZ has the pics.

WBC World Welterweight Champion Victor Ortiz is now the spokesman for an underwear site called Freshpair.com -- and as part of the deal, the 24-year-old agreed to model some of his favorite undies.

Mayweather is a HUGE favorite in the Sept. 17 fight -- but Ortiz is clearly the knockout.

Olympic medalist Scotty Lago grabbed a shotgun in New Zealand recently and BLASTED his way into the record books at a local shooting range by ANNIHILATING a ton of pigeons ... and TMZ has the pics.

Lago -- who scored a bronze medal in snowboarding at the 2010 Winter Olympics -- was in kiwi country for a FLOW Snowboarding photo shoot ... when he stumbled upon one of the oldest shooting ranges in NZ.

We're told Lago participated in a course challenge -- where shooters get 2 minutes to fire away at 20 clay pigeons. Lago set the course record for an American -- by blasting 18 pigeons in 1:40.

The FBI has joined the search for ex-NBA player Javaris Crittenton -- who is wanted for murder in the shooting death of a 22-year-old woman.

The feds have announced they are working with police in Atlanta -- where Jullian Jones was shot and killed on August 19.

Cops believe Crittenton was not aiming at Jones -- but rather someone else in the area who may have robbed the former basketball player back in April.

It's unclear if officials have an idea where Javaris may be hiding out -- and the FBI is not releasing any further information.

NFL bust JaMarcus Russell is still paying for the mess he made in Oakland ... but this time it's a good thing.

TMZ has learned ... the #1 overall pick in the 2007 Draft was hit with a $223,180.05 lien by the State of California Tax Board for failing to pay his taxes in 2008 ... when he still played for the Raiders.

But this story has a happy ending, because according to court documents filed in Alameda County, CA -- JaMarcus recently paid off his debt the lien has been released.

Russell still has ties to Oakland -- where a $2.4 million mansion he owns is still in foreclosure and is set to be auctioned off next month ... unless he decides to pay off the debts and penalties.

Tennis hunks Novak Djokovic, currently the #1 ranked player, and Rafael Nadal, currently #2, both posed for pics backstage of the musical "Mamma Mia!" in NYC this week.

Question is ...

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries arrived at LAX from Italy yesterday, putting an end to their brief honeymoon.

Let the married life begin.
