Terrell Owens just scored the biggest deal of his career since he signed with the 49ers -- successfully lowering his exorbitantly expensive monthly child support payments to FOUR different baby mamas.

Sources close to T.O. tell TMZ, the former NFL star was able to convince the judges in each of his child support cases to "drastically decrease the amount he was paying."

T.O. had originally been ordered to pay between $5,000 and $20,000 per child per month -- and with no new football contract, he was seriously struggling to make ends meet.

But now, we're told the new payment plans -- the details of which are sealed -- are way more affordable ... and "accurately reflect the amount of money [Terrell] is making."

It gets even better -- we're told T.O. was also able to establish visitation in some cases, something he had never asked for before.

NFL legend Joe Montana has definitely got game.

Here's the 25-year-old four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback in 1981 (left) -- and 30 years later, the 55-year-old a couple of months ago (right).

They don't call him Golden Joe for nothing.

Middleweight boxing champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. -- son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez -- has been arrested for DUI, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Julio was pulled over in his black Land Rover for a routine traffic stop last weekend on an L.A. freeway -- and when officers approached the vehicle, they detected a strong odor of alcohol.

The officers administered several field sobriety tests -- and we're told Julio's reflexes weren't quit up to par, so they placed him under arrest.

Red Sox pitcher John Lackey's divorce from wife Krista is finally official ... TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, Lackey filed for divorce back in August while Krista was battling breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy last March.

According to court records in Texas, the divorce was finalized on January 31. We're told there is a prenup in place, which calls for Lackey to keep his separate property for himself.

San Diego Chargers All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates is ready to officially become the father of his 9-year-old and he's filed paternity papers in Georgia to do just that.

According to the docs, Gates would like to establish an official custody and child support agreement with the girl's mother, Lauren Johnson, who went to Kent State at the same time as Gates. He is seeking joint custody, with Johnson getting primary custody.

Gates and Johnson both got married in 2011, just a month apart, but to different people.

Joe Francis is flattering himself by thinking Madonna will sing her new song, "Girls Gone Wild," during the Super Bowl halftime show ... so says Madonna's rep.

As TMZ first reported, Francis had his lawyers fire off a letter to Madonna demanding she negotiate a licensing agreement for using his infamous trademark in her song ... and also insisting she NOT sing the new track during Sunday's performance.

But a rep for Madonna tells TheWrap the song is not part of her set list.

But the matter isn't settled ... because Joe's lawyer wants money from Madonna for putting the song in her album.

Rickey Jackson was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2010 -- and while he was wearing his Hall of Fame jacket out and about in Indianapolis last night, you might be surprised to hear where he keeps it stored when he isn't wearing it.

While the anticipation of Madonna's half-time show at Super Bowl XLVI builds, take a mystical trip back in time and see who has also scored on this famous stage on the 50-yard line.

Kris Kristofferson's 6'2", 230-pound BEAST of a son has finally begun his career as a WWE superstar ... and TMZ has obtained pics of the 24-year-old in action on his first day of training camp.

"Big Country" Jody Kristofferson locked horns with several other up-and-coming wrestler's in the WWE's private training facility in Florida this week ... just weeks after inking a developmental contract with the organization.

Jody has been busting his ass for years in the minor league wrestling circuit ... paying his dues in small town wrestling matches ... until he recently attracted the eye of WWE scouts.

We're told officials like the fact that his father is famous ... but they feel he's not just a flash in the pan, and has real potential to be a break-out star.

Giants owner Steve Tisch confessed his Super Bowl superstition on TMZ Live today ... saying he won't remove 5-week old nail polish from his toes because he's afraid it could sink his team.

Tisch says 5 weeks ago his young daughters painted his toenails red and blue ... and his team hasn't lost a game since -- so now he's afraid to remove the polish.

Tisch adds ... he's barely washed his feet since his girls shellacked him -- and he has no plans to clean up ... at least until after Sunday.

Takeru Kobayashi is gearing up to poop out the remains of 168-and-a-half chickens ... after putting on one of the GREATEST competitive eating displays of all time.

Kobayashi WOLFED DOWN 337 chicken wings at Wing Bowl 20 in Philadelphia ... defeating Jonathan "Super" Squibb and Bill "El Wingador" Simmons.

After the competition, Kobayashi told reporters he could probably take down another 100 wings.

Takeru -- the former world hot dog eating champ -- walked away with the new Wing Bowl record and a check for $20,000 (that's $59 per wing).

Jack Nicholson has never been one to mince words ... the notion of going to the Super Bowl this Sunday makes him nauseous.

Nicholson grabbed some dinner with CSI minx Marg Helgenberger -- no they're not dating ... just old friends -- and a photog asked the die-hard Lakers fan if he was going to the big game.

Surrounded by an army of perfectly toned asses, devout virgin Tim Tebow appeared UNFAZED at a Super Bowl pre-party in Indianapolis last night ... but he did pull off one pretty awesome maneuver for a fan.

Tim was hanging out on the balcony at the Bud Light Hotel party ... when his buddy heard a fan down on the street begging Tebow to sign his hat.

Tebow -- being awesome -- instructed his buddy to signal to the fan to throw the hat up to the balcony ... which he did. Tebow put his Hancock on the lid and got it back to the fan.

Elton John's hubby David Furnish -- the guy who BLASTED Madonna after the Golden Globes -- tells TMZ ... there's NO WAY IN HELL he'll watch her Super Bowl halftime show.

It seems like another OBVIOUS diss aimed at the Material Girl ... but Furnish, who was leaving Red O restaurant in L.A., insists it's nothing personal ... he just doesn't watch football ... or anything football related.

Suuuuuuure.

In case you forgot ... Furnish labeled Madge as a "desperate" narcissist after she beat out Elton for Best Song at the Globes a few weeks ago. He later backed off the statement ... but never really apologized.

So ... is anyone actually buyin' what Furnish is selling ... that he won't be watching the biggest TV event of the year? Or is this yet ANOTHER attack in the cattiest feud in Hollywood?

NBA legend Bill Bridges claims he was left permanently scarred by a recent trip to a Marriott spa -- where the steam room allegedly seared his skin and eyes -- and now, he's suing the hotel for ruining his life.

Bill -- who won a championship ring with the Golden State Warriors in 1975 -- filed the lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming he visited the steam room last year at the Le Merigot Spa in the Marriott Santa Monica ... and upon entering, a cloud of steam "engulfed Mr. Bridges' face."

As a result, the 72-year-old Bridges claims he "suffered severe burns to his face and to his eyes, skin discoloration, and permanent scarring."

According to the lawsuit, Bridges has sought expensive treatments from both a dermatologist and ophthalmologist -- and has since been unable to see clearly, drive, work, and play golf.

Bridges claims he "also suffers from psychological trauma, and has been unable to go to [another] steam room."
