Dwyane Wade My $230k Car Can Fly ... Sorta

Published | Updated

Dwyane Wade got a SICK $230,000 sports car at his 30th birthday party in Miami this weekend -- but the most impressive part of the gift is how it was AIRLIFTED into the hotel pool without a scratch.

The car is a brand new 2012 McLaren MP4-12C -- given to him for FREE by the owner of a local luxury car dealership. Wade is the brand ambassador for that particular dealership.

The guy wanted the presentation of the car to be super-fancy -- with the McLaren waiting for Wade on a platform in the middle of the hotel pool. Problem is, you can't just drive that thing inside the hotel.

Instead, the car was loaded up onto a crane in the alley next to the pool area ... hoisted above the hotel wall ... and carefully lowered onto the waiting platform, positioned inside the pool.

Props to the crew -- because the whole thing went off without a hitch ... and D-Wade accepted his present in front of famous friends like Usher, Common, T.I., LeBron, and Chris Bosh.

D-Dub even got a shout from Vogue chief Anna Wintour ... who said, "I hope we'll see you back at NY Fashion Week in September, because you're my favorite person to sit next to at the shows."

The rich get richer.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Horse Trade Houses in Divorce

Published | Updated

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa are well on their way to becoming single ... because we’ve learned Kobe has already transferred title on two of his mansions over to his soon-to-be ex-wife.

TMZ has checked official records ... which show on January 5th, Kobe surrendered his interest in 2 of their estates to Vanessa ... on that same day Vanessa surrendered her interest in a 3rd home to Kobe.

As far as who got what ... the title transfers don't list addresses, but our sources say Vanessa is now the full owner of the mansion she shared with Kobe in Newport Coast. As for the second home Vanessa now owns in full ... it's the nearby mansion where her mother has been living.

We’re told the estate Vanessa fully deeded to Kobe is the one currently under construction – also in Newport Coast.

TMZ broke the story ... Vanessa filed for divorce from Kobe on Dec 16th.

Although we heard rumblings of a possible reconciliation ... the property transfers make it seem the divorce is going full throttle.

Kobe's rep, Michael Sitrick, had no comment.

Tim Tebow and the Broncos got beat so badly by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots yesterday ... even Jesus is taking shots at Timmy now!

We caught up with Jesus of West Hollywood (real name: Kevin), who did not hesitate to take a cheap shot at his number one fan. He even dropped down on one knee for a little Tebowing.

The Broncos lost 45-10 and Brady outpassed Tebow 363-136. Brady threw six touchdown passes to Tebow's none.

Evelyn Lozada Don't Call Me Mrs. Ochocinco ... Yet!

Published | Updated

Chad Ochocinco may have pulled his engagement to Evelyn Lozada out of the fire, but she's still on the fence about taking his last name when they walk down the aisle.

Evelyn was out in LA this week, and fully over her cheating fears about Ocho, saying ... "*hit happens and we worked it out."

As for changing her name -- sounds like Evelyn still needs some convincing.

We suspect Chad has bigger concerns, for now ... such as beating Tim Tebow and the Broncos tonight.

Published | Updated

Someone may FINALLY be getting ready to leave Casa de Prime Time -- because a giant moving pod is currently sitting in the middle of Deion Sanders' driveway.

TMZ broke the story ... Deion and Pilar are BOTH living in the massive Texas estate, despite the fact Deion filed for divorce last month, after 12 years of marriage.

Just a few weeks ago, Deion went on the radio and claimed the living situation was "cool" -- insisting he and Pilar engage in friendly banter every morning.

But sources close to the couple tell us ... things actually aren't that cordial behind the scenes ... and it seems the awkward living situation is finally coming to an end.

Rihanna Screw People's Choice I'll Be Across the Street

Published | Updated

Rihanna totally blew off the People's Choice Awards in L.A. last night ... TO GO TO A CLIPPERS GAME ... (bet you didn't think you'd hear that 5 years ago).

And ... to add salt to the wound ... the game was right across the street.

We don't blame her -- the game was incredible ... with the Clips overtaking the Heat in overtime (suck it, LeBron) ... but enough about that ...

Point is, Rihanna actually won the People's Choice Award for "Favorite R&B Artist" -- but did she violate some unspoken code of ethics by skipping out on the show ... just to chill?

No. Because the "People's Choice Awards" are stupid.

Now here's a video of Blake Griffin dunking all over Miami last night.

Hulk Hogan Mustache Org. DEVASTATED Over Plans to Shave

Published | Updated

Angels will DIE if Hulk Hogan shaves his mustache ... so says the leader of a powerful mustache organization.

TMZ spoke with Dr. Aaron Perlut -- Chairman of the American Mustache Institute and self-professed doctor of "nuclear mustacheology" -- who says he's particularly upset with Hulk's plan to shave ... since he is "seen as a longtime leading figure in the sexually dynamic Mustached American community."

Perlut says, "Not only would the removal of his lower nose foliage cause angels in heaven to die and fall to earth -- as is written in biblical texts -- but it would send a poor message to young people of Mustached American descent who wish to embrace the Mustached American experience."

"We do hope that Mr. Hogan, for whom we have great reverence, reconsiders shaving his upper lip shading device as millions of those he has inspired would be greatly let down, leading to mass chaos and deep bouts of depression in the Mustached American community.”

Neither Hogan nor his mustache could be reached for comment.

Hulk Hogan Gets Surgery My Dentist Left a Tack ... In My Face!

Published | Updated

Hulk Hogan's mouth is seriously messed up, after a dentist accidentally ripped out 50 stitches from his mouth.

Hulk tells TMZ ... in October he went in for dental surgery to get implants. The doctor performed a sinus graft -- placing a donor bone in the mouth to support the implant. Hulk then went to a cosmetic surgeon to begin the implant process. When the doc removed the mold in Hulk's mouth, it ripped out around 50 stitches from the donor bone procedure.

Hulk says he's been dealing with the problem ever since ... his mouth became infected and the antibiotics just weren't doing the trick.

So recently Hulk had a CAT scan, which revealed -- get this -- that one of the doctors left a metal tack in his mouth.

Last night, Hulk went to the hospital for surgery -- to remove the tack and clean out the mess.

Hulk tells us ... "They had to drill a f**king hole in my face!"

And, Hulk says, he's already home and, "I have to have a meeting with my lawyers now." But it's not to sue the dentists. He still has legal issues with his ex-wife.

'Haywire' Star Gina Carano Vocally Challenged in Flick

Published | Updated

Gina Carano is the REAL DEAL in the world of MMA ... but there are allegations she's not totally the real deal on the big screen ... because her voice in the new movie, "Haywire" ... may NOT be her voice at all.

Sources connected with the production tell TMZ ... the folks behind the movie didn't like the way Carano sounded when they filmed the flick ... so they changed it in post. It's unclear if they used fancy electronics to alter Gina's vocal quality, or whether they dubbed in another female voice.

Monday night, Carano was at The Grove in L.A. ... where she totally spoke with us ... and sounded great ... at least that's our opinion.

We placed multiple calls to the production company ... so far, no comment.

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin Tebow Can HAVE My 3:16 If ...

Published | Updated

Before there was Tebow 3:16 in the NFL ... there was Austin 3:16 in the WWE ... and now the wrestling legend says he's willing to surrender his iconic numbers to the NFL star, pending one GIANT condition.

TMZ spoke with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin -- who tells us he watched Tebow's Mile High Miracle this weekend and was blown away when he learned Tim threw for exactly 316 yards in the playoff victory.

FYI -- the numbers have a special meaning with Stone Cold, who created the famous faux bible verse back in the '90s to humiliate his enemies -- "Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!!!"

Now, Austin tells us, "Austin 3:16 still rules" ... but adds, "If Tebow can throw for 316 yards again this weekend then hell, he can have the numbers and I'll have no problem with it."

Austin continues, "A guy named John was using it before me ... so if Tebow can do it again, more power to him!"

"I wish him all the luck in the world," Austin says ... adding, "I'm not a Denver fan but Tim's a great role model for kids."

Baltimore Ravens Star My Agent Screwed Me Out of $229,000

Published | Updated

Baltimore Ravens star Anquan Boldin claims his agent -- the man he trusted with his career -- swindled him out of $220,000 ... and now, it looks like he'll never get his money back.

Boldin filed a lawsuit against Darrell Eugene Wills in Florida bankruptcy court, claiming Darrell asked to borrow $170,000 to start a sports management agency in 2004 ... and never paid him back.

Anquan claims he supplied the loan on the condition that Darrell repay him with interest -- and reduce his agency fee -- but the venture failed ... and Darrell filed for bankruptcy.

Boldin sued Wills soon after to get his money back -- but a bankruptcy judge ruled that Darrell was such a financial wreck, he didn't have to repay his debts ... meaning Boldin is SOL.

Calls to both parties were not returned.
