A spokesperson for UCLA confirmed the 21-year-old was busted at 3:30 AM on Sunday morning for "allegedly using force to take a cell phone from an Uber driver."

Cops say the Uber driver sustained minor injuries.

A deputy opened fire on a man outside the WWE's training center in Orlando -- seriously injuring the guy ... who has a history of bizarre incidents at the WWE.

An Orange County Sheriff's deputy confronted Armando Montalvo at the WWE Performance Center on Monday afternoon. The situation reportedly turned violent, and that's when the deputy fired.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, the wrestling org. got a restraining order against Montalvo earlier this month after a string of violent run-ins at the facility. Earlier this summer, the WWE says Montalvo spread his feces and urine on the building. He even posted video of himself mixing the human waste and reduced fat milk in a bucket.

On multiple occasions ... he allegedly showed up in a wrestling outfit, banged on windows, and threatened to kick everyone's ass because they wouldn't hire him. One of the times he was swinging a large chain, and police had to subdue him at gunpoint.

Just 5 days ago, Montalvo posted a video of himself outside the building saying he was going to go ask for a job. He said, "What's the worst they can say?"

Montalvo had to have surgery after Monday's shooting.

Several members of the Washington Redskins tell TMZ Sports ... they're PUMPED the team is benching RG3 ... with one player saying, "Now we can start winning games."

We spoke with a handful of Redskins players -- all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity -- and they were all on the same page ... they've been wanting the move for a while.

One player told us, "We're relieved. This is good for the team."

Another player was more blunt ... saying, "We have a better chance of winning with [Kirk Cousins] than Robert Griffin. Sometimes teams need a change and we obviously did."

Even the defense is excited -- with one starter saying, "The team is excited with the change. We are all looking forward to Kirk leading us this season."

Richardson -- who's currently suspended from the Jets for a failed drug test -- was ultimately charged with resisting arrest, failure to have license plate lights, excessive speeding, running a red light and following too closely. He pled not guilty to everything.

Matt Damon ... is that you?!

After an epically bad first attempt, the sketch artist in the Deflategate court battle has taken another crack at Tom Brady ... and it definitely resembles someone from Boston ... just not the QB.

We can all agree ... the new pic is an upgrade -- we're just not sure the guy in the pic would ever be able to score Gisele ... especially because he's missing a chunk out of his right arm.

We spoke with the artist, Jane Rosenberg, who admits the work isn't great ... but says she "had very little time" and was sketching from a distance. She told us the set up was a "court artist's nightmare."

Rosenberg says she practiced drawing Brady after the first sketch -- but she only had 5 minutes to bang out the pic.

A for effort.

Hellofa move from New York Giants WR Victor Cruz this weekend ... when he stopped his pal outside of a NYC nightclub and gave him an impromptu DUI test to make sure he wasn't going to drive drunk.

Cruz and his pals were leaving Club Opus around 3:45 AM on Sunday -- when Victor tells his friend to "walk 3 steps" to prove he was sober.

Unclear if Cruz felt his friend passed the test -- but he definitely let the rest of the group know they should keep an eye out for their buddy.

The group eventually left -- and it didn't appear as if the friend was going to drive ... so props to everyone involved.

Just two weeks after Michael Sam walked away from football to "refocus" -- he's resurfaced at several bars ... including one of the hottest clubs in West Hollywood ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sam hit up the world famous Abbey on Friday night -- where he was seen socializing and hanging out like any other guy at the bar. He even took pics with fans.

The very next night, he was back out on the town -- we spotted him leaving Tortilla Republic ... a hip Mexican joint famous for its jalapeno margaritas.

Last week, Sam was also at the bars -- only in Dallas -- hanging out at a place called The Round-Up ... where it was more of the same ... hanging out with fans and socializing.

Now, we're told he hasn't been getting hammered or doing anything wild at the bars -- it's just interesting to see him taking in the nightlife after recently tweeting that he wanted to "refocus" so he can get back to football.

Talk about a last minute bachelor party ...

Hours before he tied the knot, NBA superstar Russell Westbrook hit up 1 OAK nightclub on the Sunset Strip with some of his famous friends ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Westrbrook -- sporting a pretty sweet suit (with a pocket square) -- had a posse with him that included Kevin Durant.

But don't worry, despite the fact Westbrook's fiancee was nowhere to be seen, sources in the club say the guys were just having a great time by themselves -- "No funny stuff."

He left the club around 2 AM -- and hours later, got married on Saturday at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Hulk Hogan says his life was in shambles at the time he went on his N-word rant -- and things were so bad, he contemplated suicide.

The Kardashians may have bought themselves another round of fireworks ... in court.

Twelve Marina del Rey homeowners -- including several celebs -- have banned together and will file a small claims court lawsuit against Khloe and Kris for terrorizing an untold number of residents, who thought their city was under attack. Turns out it was a massive fireworks show at the stroke of midnight Wednesday to celebrate James Harden's birthday just outside the breakwater.

Each resident will demand $7,500 ... the max allowed in California small claims. As for their damages, one homeowner says her kid freaked out. Another says she has MS and her condition has worsened since the incident. They all say they suffered emotional distress.

The people suing say money is not the object. They want to come face-to-face with Khloe, Kris and the others and confront them for conduct they say was rude and supremely selfish. The reason they chose small claims ... lawyers aren't allowed, so the famous family will have to appear.

Nick Young wasn't joking around about wanting to compete for Australia's Olympic basketball team -- 'cause the NBA star's camp has formally contacted Aussie officials to get the ball rolling ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Young -- who's famously engaged to Australian superstar Iggy Azalea -- has recently been floating out the idea to compete with Australia, but everyone thought he was just goofing around.

But we spoke with a top official for Basketball Australia who tells us, "Nick's representatives have been in contact with an 'official inquiry.'"

The official told us Nick would have to become an Australian citizen to be eligible for the team -- and the process was thoroughly explained to Young's camp.

For the record, it's not an easy process -- according to the official, Young would have to start by living in Australia for "an extended period of time."

And after that, Basketball Australia tells us there's no guarantee Young will make the squad -- "He would be considered for selection on MERIT like everybody else."

Young is already drumming up support from famous Australian hoops stars including Golden State Warriors player Andrew Bogut -- who suggested Iggy could also rap the National Anthem.

NBA superstar Russell Westbrook had a baller wedding in Beverly Hills last night complete with a performance from a bona fide superstar...and Khloe Kardashian in the crowd...and that's only the beginning.

Westbrook tied the knot to his longtime girlfriend Nina Earl close to UCLA where he played his college ball.

We're told the wedding was beautiful, super high budget and included a performance from Miguel.

The legion of A-list guests included past and present teammates including Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, James Harden...whose plus one was Khloe K.

And to make sure the night ended on an even higher note, Westbrook provided a gourmet doughnut truck--Fry Girl--which turned out custom treats for anyone with a sweet tooth.

As for the bride...she rocked two dresses to the occasion...one by Vera Wang and the other by Monique Lhullier...to compliment her $700K engagement ring.

Dean Ambrose, one of the giants in the WWE, was almost attacked during a taping of Smackdown ... attacked by a guy some say was holding a sharp object which at least one fan says was a knife.

It happened right after the show in Providence. You see the would-be attacker come right for Ambrose, but a quick-thinking security uses a wrestling move of his own, body slamming him to the ground.

It's unclear what happened to the guy or what if anything he was clutching.

Dean was unharmed.

Mark Cuban isn't messing around ... he's on the warpath against anyone who dares sell a "hoverboard," and it could be one of his basketball players is about to learn a hard lesson on the subject of crossing his boss.

John Soibatian, Prez of IO Hawk, made the offer Saturday, to give Mark one of his very own. The subtext is great ... Mark just partnered with the guy who owns the patent to the device and has said he's planning on suing everyone who markets a knockoff.

Soibatian apparently thought he could win Mark over by posing with JaVale McGee ... who just signed as center for the Dallas Mavericks -- THE TEAM MARK OWNS!

Mark's response makes it clear ... judgment day is coming. And BTW, what's JaVale thinking?
