Kim Kardashian might be rooting harder than anyone for the New Orleans Saints. She told a radio interviewer her longtime boyfriend, running back Reggie Bush, made a deal with her: If the Saints win the Super Bowl, he’ll propose to the voluptuous reality star. Some cynics joked on Saturday that Bush might throw the game, but it seemed from his stellar performance that he’s eager to get hitched. He’s now just two wins away from holy matrimony.

The woman accusing Shaquille O’Neal of carrying out a campaign of harassment against her has had major issues with at least two other NBA players in the past, TMZ has learned.
According to several police reports, Vanessa Lopez has had serious legal run-ins with Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West — during the same time period she claims she was secretly hooking up with Shaq.
Back in 2006, Delonte West — then with the Boston Celtics — called security on Lopez, claiming she refused to leave his Orlando hotel room
.
Police were called to the room — where Lopez, according to the police report, then accused West of making unwantedsexual advances toward her.
West acknowledged that he had slept with Lopez in the past — but claimed he never hit on her that night. West said Lopez tried to seduce him — but he rejected her because he had another woman coming over.
Police ultimately removed Lopez from the premises.
Lopez’s run-in with Kenyon Martin went down in 2007 — when the NBA star’s business manager called police, claiming Lopez somehow got hold of Martin’s credit card. According to the police report, the manager claimed Lopez blew hundreds of dollars — minimum — without Martin’s permission.
It’s unclear if criminal charges were ever filed against Lopez for that incident.
Lopez has lawyered up with Gloria Allred to go after Shaq. So far, O’Neal hasn’t commented on the situation. Allred had no comment.
Gloria Allred will take on any case if it gets her name out there, she is such a man hater..– The D

The Washington Wizards have told locker room pistolero Gilbert Arenas they believe he is in violation of his contract and they have the right to void the $111 million deal … sources tell TMZ.
We’re told a team official was trading text messages with Arenas after the locker room incident. Sources tell TMZ … in one of the messages, the official told Arenas the team felt Agent Zero violated the clause in his contract prohibiting him from engaging in conduct detrimental to the team or the NBA … and they could have the contract voided as a result.
Most NBA contracts contain morality clauses — but it’s difficult to void an NBA contract on those grounds. The Indiana Pacers didn’t void Ron Artest’s contract after “The Malice at the Palace” in 2004.
Nevertheless, there are strong indications the Wizards want out of the Arenas deal. As one law enforcement source put it, the team has been overly cooperative in the police investigation that targets Arenas.

Being a guidette is a full time job — and for “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki, it pays five figures.
TMZ has learned the Princess of Poughkeepsie is getting paid $10,000 to show up tonight to Anna Nicole Smith’s death site, the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida — where she’ll be hosting a “Fist Pumping Competition” at a club called Opium.
Snookers and her poof aren’t the only ones making big bucks though — we’re told The Situation and Pauly D make at least $7,500 an appearance … and the ab-tastic wonder is booked every weekend for the next two months!
FYI — When the crew came to TMZ Live, they made zero dollars.

It happens to the best of ‘em — just ask LeBron James.
