DeShawn Stevenson ATM in My Kitchen Was Rob Dyrdek's Idea!!!
Brooklyn Nets guard DeShawn Stevenson isn't the first person to put an ATM inside his house -- in fact, DeShawn tells TMZ, he straight up jacked the idea from a big-time reality star...
DeShawn tells us, Rob Dyrdek put an ATM in his house long before he did -- and when DeShawn saw Rob's house on MTV ... the NBA star thought it was genius, so he got one himself.
We're told he paid $3,500 for the machine and lets his rich NBA friends use it for last-minute cash withdrawals before they go out.
But the service ain't free -- DeShawn says he charges his pals a steep $4.50 ATM fee.
DeShawn says the machine holds $20,000 and he refills it 4-6 times a year.
He adds, "I like doing things that aren't normal and it's cool to have."

It all went down during Game 1 between the Kings and the NJ Devils. OJ hit up Miami Mike's Sports Zone in Jersey to watch the action ... where, of course, he was surrounded by Devils fans.

MM says OJ -- MVP of Super Bowl XXV -- was in the mood to celebrate the win, and "ordered a round of shots for about 25 guys after the game." We're told the boozefest set OJ back $125, plus he tacked on a fat 40% tip of $50!

Tito Ortiz, Jenna Jameson We're TERRIFIED OF OUR CRAZY FRIEND
UFC legend Tito Ortiz and his retired porn star fiancee Jenna Jameson rushed to court, asking a judge to protect them from a friend who is allegedly drug and alcohol fueled and has stolen from them and stalked them both.
TMZ has obtained the legal docs, in which Tito and Jenna say Shana Burroughs comes over to the house with a virtual pharmacy ... including Xanax and Oxycodone. The Oxycodone is especially problematic because Tito has said in the past that Jenna has struggled with the drug.
The couple claim Shana comes over drunk and under the influence of Rx meds and wreaks havoc -- scaring their kids, stalking them and stealing property from the house.
The docs allege Shana has been doing this for 4 years.
The emergency restraining order was just DENIED, because the judge felt the matter could wait until a full hearing could be held -- and that will happen on June 15.

Terrell Owens' Ex-Coach Wranglers Cut Him Over $$ ... Nothing Else
The Allen Wranglers are going broke ... and that's why the indoor football team suddenly dropped Terrell Owens this week -- at least according to one of Terrell's former Wranglers coaches.
The coach -- who didn't want to be named -- tells TMZ, the decision to cut Terrell this week was purely financial, and had nothing to do with the fact T.O. missed a recent team trip to a children's hospital ... as Wranglers President Tommy Benizio told TMZ.
The coach is calling BS because he says Terrell played three games after the hospital visit early this month.
Benizio also said Terrell was cut because of his performance -- but T.O.'s ex-coach tells us, Terrell was a star on the team, putting up 10 TDs in 8 games ... "a total professional since day one."
The coach thinks T.O. was the latest in a series of budget-related cuts on the Wranglers -- a culling that included the coach himself, who was let go in March.
The coach says Wranglers owner John Frankel was embarrassed about signing Terrell to an expensive contract he couldn't afford. But Benizio maintains T.O. was dropped over performance and behavior issues -- and insists money had nothing to do with it.

Terrell Owens Firing $50 Screw Job and BOOTED from House
Terrell Owens got the crappiest severance package ever when his indoor football league team fired him this week -- an eviction notice, plus a piddly $50 buyout for his 50% stake in the team ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to T.O. tell TMZ the Allen Wranglers notified their star player, in writing, he had 48 hours to get out of the house they provided him -- and to hand over the keys to the 2012 Jeep Cherokee they gave him to tool around the Texas town.
But the biggest diss of all -- the $50 check the Wranglers wrote T.O. to repurchase his hefty share of the team's ownership! The financial screwing is most likely tied to the team's belief that T.O. breached his contract by missing a charity event and sitting out 2 away games.
But we're told T.O. is saying his contract allowed him to skip away games. As for the missed event ... we're told T.O. claims the team publicist told him the wrong date.
The whole matter could be settled in court -- as TMZ reported, T.O. is consulting with his lawyers since he feels he was wrongfully terminated and slandered in the team's media release regarding his firing.
The Wranglers have not returned calls for comment.

Allen Iverson Throw My Wife in Jail!!!
NBA legend Allen Iverson believes his wife should be locked up for ransacking his house while he was out of the country -- this according to new legal docs.
A.I. recently filed a motion for contempt in Georgia against his estranged wife Tawanna Iverson, claiming he had a basketball gig in Asia earlier this month ... and when he returned home, his house was totally gutted.
According to the docs, Iverson's wife infiltrated his home while he was gone -- pillaging furniture, art, memorabilia ... and a large sum of cash.
Iverson says he's asked Tawanna several times to return the stuff -- but so far, she's refused. Tawannna and A.I. have been warring since she filed for divorce last year. Last month she requested a restraining order, claiming her ex was harassing and threatening her.
Now, A.I. wants a judge to hold Tawanna in contempt for harassing him ... and throw her in jail ... at least until she returns the stolen goods. He also wants an order barring her from entering the home.
The judge has yet to rule.

Johnny Tapia Death Wife Suspects Illegal Drug Use
Former boxing champ Johnny Tapia's wife believes her husband used illegal narcotics in the week before his death -- this according to law enforcement.
TMZ has obtained a copy of the police report taken after Johnny's body was found in his New Mexico home this past weekend -- and according to the document, Teresa's suspicions stem from Johnny's longstanding drug problems. Teresa said she had no evidence to back it up.
Police found no proof of illegal drugs in the home, but did come across a locked safe filled with prescription meds -- including Hydrocodone (generic Vicodin) and Quetiapine (a drug used to treat schizophrenia).
Cops say they also found a Hydrocodone pill by Johnny's body.
Family members told police Johnny had been complaining of stomach problems in the hours before his death -- which might explain the Pepto Bismol cops also found on the scene.
Johnny's autopsy was completed yesterday. Results are expected in a couple weeks.

We're told T.O. believes he was not required to attend the event by the terms of his contract -- and as a result he feels the team is in breach.
A rep for T.O. confirms he's considering a lawsuit, saying ... "Mr. Owens' legal team is addressing the details of the Wranglers release statement."
The rep added, T.O. "played all games according to his contractual agreement and was proud to be part of the IFL and the Allen Wranglers."

Terrell Owens -- once considered a lock for the NFL Hall of Fame -- has been released from the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League ... and his infamous prima donna ways are to blame.
Team president Tommy Benizio tells TMZ the decision was "performance based" -- but says the final straw was T.O. skipping a recent team visit to a children's hospital in Allen, TX.
This was T.O.'s first season with the Wranglers ... and when he announced the move to the IFL in January it was considered a huge fall from grace for a former NFL superstar.
T.O. put up 10 touchdowns in 8 games for the Wranglers, and had hoped his performance would get him back into the NFL. T.O.'s been trying to impress teams for years ... back in 2010, he flaunted his athleticism for a TMZ camera guy.

Dennis Rodman Slapped with Contempt Over Unpaid Child Support
Dennis Rodman's just learned a hard lesson about not paying child support -- if you don't a judge will come down on you like a hammer.
An Orange County judge just held Rodman in contempt for raking up a whopping $808,935 in unpaid child support for his 9- and 10-year-old children -- and an additional $51,441 in unpaid spousal support.
Rodman was placed on 3 years probation and ordered to perform 104 hours of community service.
While on probation, Rodman is required to stay current with child support and cover alimony. It's unclear how he's gonna dig himself out of the hole.
Dennis previously responded to his ex-wife's demands, saying he couldn't pay because he's broke. According to Dennis, Michelle's six-figure child support bill is based on a $50,000-a-month child support order she obtained behind his back. Rodman's been fighting it since 2010.
Clearly, the judge wasn't buying what Dennis was selling.
