Rick Caruso was leaving Craig's Monday night when our photog asked if he'd ban the candidate from The Grove. Caruso was quick to bite ... an especially big deal because Caruso is one of the most powerful Republicans in California.

On the other hand, he seems willing to forgive when it comes to Manny Pacquiao ... who said some pretty awful things about gays. Rick thinks Manny could change his ways. Don't hold your breath.

Robert Griffin III's estranged wife wants the Cleveland Browns QB to pay for the legal team she had to hire after he filed for divorce ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Rebecca Liddicoat -- who was married to RGIII for 3 years -- filed her response to his divorce petition in Texas last week.

In the docs, she doesn't go into specifics about child custody or shared property -- but denies everything he said in his petition, across the board.

Liddicoat also says Griffin should pay for her lawyers ... probably 'cause he was the breadwinner in the relationship.

R.L. says she needs attorneys to ensure she gets her share of their assets and a fair custody arrangement for their 1-year-old daughter.

RGIII officially pulled the plug on their marriage on Sept. 7th -- and has moved on with Florida State University athlete Grete Sadeiko.

Now, the WBO has spoken ... telling Fury he has 10 days to "show cause why your title should not be vacated due to inactivity, breach of contract and performance enhancing drugs and stimulants."

The letter was delivered Oct. 7th ... giving Fury til' October 17th to respond.

And if he doesn't answer? A rep for the WBO tells us he'll likely be stripped of his title.

Regardless, the rep says they'll decide Fury's fate next week at the WBO convention in San Juan.

Kobe Bryant fans, here's your chance to come face-to-face with the Mamba himself (kinda) ... 'cause the NBA legend's game-worn protective face mask just hit the auction block!!

During the 2012 All-Star game, Dwyane Wade fouled Kobe hard, and broke his nose ... forcing K.B. to wear the clear face mask to protect his schnoz.

Cops say they went to Vick's apartment in Newport News on Saturday after someone complained about a marijuana odor in the area.

Police say the smell became stronger when Vick opened the door to his place.

He let the officers come inside and search the apartment. Vick was taken into custody for possession of a schedule I or II drug.

The former Virginia Tech standout is already on probation stemming from an assault case earlier this year -- and could now face serious time behind bars.

In case you missed it -- Vick led cops on a CRAZY foot chase during the assault arrest.

Conor McGregor was just hit with a $150k FINE and 50 hours of community service for firing water bottles at Nate Diaz during the UFC 202 press conference.

UFC honcho Dana White joined "TMZ Sports" the day after all hell broke loose at the presser and said "they're both getting punished."

Today was the day ... 'cause the Nevada State Athletic Commission met this morning in Las Vegas to determine what punishment McGregor would face.

The outcome? Conor has to pay a $150,000 fine (5% of his UFC 202 purse) ... and do 50 hours of community service. He also agreed to participate in an anti-bullying PSA.

Nate Diaz -- who also faces punishment -- had his hearing postponed.

Ryan Lochte knows how to make a girl feel special ... dropping $700 for a private helicopter ride to pop the question on the top of a mountain.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Lochte booked his romantic flight through Orbic Air in Burbank. He got the Mountain Top Landing package ... which included a ride to a Malibu peak and a 30 minute stop for some celebratory champagne, strawberries and cheesecake.

We're told he also had a photog on board to capture the memories.

This is Paige's second violation in 3 months. She was hit with a suspension in August ... the same day her BF former WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio failed a drug test and was suspended.

FYI -- the wellness policy covers everything from substance abuse to annual physicals and cardiovascular health.

Paige hit up Twitter to share her reaction to the news ... and seems to make the argument that the suspension is bogus.

Story developing ...
