WWE Wants to Shave Beefcake Off Brutus

Posted Nov 23rd 2008 5:00AM by TMZ Staff

Imagine Brutus the Barber Beefcake without the name -- what good could that possibly be?

His old employer, WWE, wants Edward Leslie (that's BBB's real name) to quit using one of the most recognizable handles in all of wrestling history in his new job as a coach on Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. They claim they own the trademark and note that Brutus quit using the name when he went on WCW a few years back.

Brutus says the cease-and-desist is rubbish: His lawyers claim he's been using the name since 2000 without a peep from the WWE, so why all the noise now? Could it have something to do with the fact he's using it on Hulk's show?

Calls to the lawyers here weren't returned.

Who knew Antonin Scalia might be into Janet Jackson's breast.

It's true ... The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review the 2004 Super Bowl breast incident that led to a $550,000 fine against CBS.

The FCC has asked the Supremes to review the case, after a Federal Appeals Court ruled the fine was bogus because the image on CBS was merely "fleeting."

Sick Vick's New Dog Trick

Posted Nov 22nd 2008 10:48AM by TMZ Staff

Looks like Michael Vick is a lot more disturbed than anyone could have imagined.

In just released report, a person identified as confidential witness No. 1 says Vick actually placed family pets in the ring against pit bulls owned by "Bad Newz Kennels" and watched as the animals ruthlessly attacked the domesticated dogs causing "major injuries."

The witness went on to say that Vick "thought it was funny to watch the pit bull dogs injure or kill the other dogs."

A convicted co-defendant in the case said there were times he suggested dogs unwilling to fight be let go, but Vick insisted "they got to go," meaning they need to be killed.

Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison in Dec. 2007, and is set to be released from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., on July 20, 2009.

Linda Wants Professional Seaman

Posted Nov 22nd 2008 10:12AM by TMZ Staff

Recession or not, it's extremely hard to balance a budget on $40,000 a month. That's why Linda Hogan needs more. Oh did we mention -- she wants Hulk to foot the bill for her 19-year-old boyfriend's nautical tuition?

Charley Hill wants to go to sea school, and Linda wants Hulk to pay for what could be the next Captain & Tennille. Getting back to why $40,000 isn't enough, Linda blew $14 grand at a Bev Hills Doctor's office this week. Hulk says it's for cosmetic surgery.

It may cost him a bundle, but we're thinkin' that divorce is the best move of Hulk's life.
