Dennis Rodman: Would you like assalt with your meal?

Dennis Rodman and his entourage are being accused of not only skipping out on a dinner bill, but also assault -- for bad measure.

Sources tell us, Rodman and some friends had dinner last night at the Gansevoort Hotel in Miami, and then left without paying the bill. When the manager and general manager of the restaurant tried to stop Rodman's party from leaving, an altercation erupted and the GM got punched in the face -- allegedly by a member of Rodman's posse.

Sources say the fight spilled into the street, and resulted in a rear view mirror being knocked off a $289,000 Lamborghini parked near the sidewalk.

Police confirm the Miami Beach PD responded to a call from the hotel right around the time the altercation took place. No word yet on whether the victim will press charges.

UPDATE: We spoke to the manager of Philippe, the restaurant in the hotel where all the drama happened. He tells us Dennis' party finished eating and tried to skip out on their $1000 tab. That's when they were chased down the street by management. During this portion of the altercation, Dennis went upstairs to the rooftop club.

Police were called and one of Dennis' posse was put in handcuffs. The restaurant agreed not to press charges if the bill was paid, and another member of Dennis' crew spotted the cash. Apparently during all the commotion, Dennis conveniently disappeared, but the Manager confirms Dennis ate with the rest of his crew before making his exit.

Miss USA - not all topless photos are equal

There's another reigning beauty queen who took some very topless photos before she won her pageant -- but unlike Carrie Prejean, Miss Rhode Island USA's crown was never ever in jeopardy.

According to Alysha Castonguay, she dropped her top for a Maxim magazine shoot and a few swimsuit calenders way before her competition -- but there was no controversy over the pics because they were all seen and approved by the Miss USA pageant officials.

But Alysha tells TMZ she feels for Miss Cali saying, "I personally believe this situation is stemming from the controversy over her opinion and not a photo."

The final decision on dethroning Carrie Prejean is still being deliberated by the Miss USA and Miss California officials.

Hospital worker who sold celeb records dies

Bizzare twist in the case of the hospital worker who sold medical records of Britney Spears and Farah Fawcett to the tabloids ... she has died.

Jackson had worked for the hospital for 32 years before her arrest.

Rihanna Nude Pic Scandal

Rihanna's camp is firing off the first response to nude pictures, allegedly of Rihanna, that hit the internet today.

TMZ has learned the legal department at Island Def Jam Music Group, RiRi's label, sent a letter to at least one website that published the photos. The letter refers to "unauthorized photos purported to be...Rihanna," demands that the photos be removed from the site, and calls the photos a violation of "the Artist's rights."

It's not clear whether Rihanna really is the woman in the buff because you can't see her face in the nude shots. She is clearly pictured in two fully clothed pics.

Interestingly, the letter from Island Def Jam does not deny (or confirm) if it's really Rihanna.

Miss California USA says a revealing photo of herself appearing on the Web is "quite appropriate" for a model, and she has accused the gossip site that posted it of trying to belittle her Christian beliefs.
"I am a Christian, and I am a model," Carrie Prejean said in a statement. "Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith."

Disney Boob Screeners Let Go!

If you happen to be an exhibitionist, the Happiest Place on Earth just got a little happier -- 'cause Disney is dropping their last line of defense against roller-coaster boobie flashers.It's all over rides like Splash Mountain -- aka Flash Mountain -- where some people would whip out certain body parts in the hopes that the park camera would catch the nudity ... and then display the naked shot on the photo preview screens for all to see. Disney had created "image screening positions" to prevent the XXX shots from going public. But now, execs have told the OC Register the screeners have been "redeployed" -- and that they no longer need to monitor the rides because "actual inappropriate behaviors by guests are rare."But before you run out and bare all, Disney claims they're still going to patrol the park for flashers ... and anyone who tries to turn the place into their own adult Fantasyland will still get a taste of Mickey's size 24. For the record, Donald still doesn't wear pants.

Miss Vietnam USA claims pageant didnt pay her!

Congratulations Miss Vietnam USA -- you've just won $10,000 (which you're not getting) and a new car (which you have to finance yourself).

According to a lawsuit filed earlier this week in Orange County, Yen Le -- who was crowned Miss Vietnam USA in November 2007 -- is suing the pageant organizers because she alleges she was supposed to receive $10,000 and a new Mercedes for winning.

Now get this -- not only does she claim she never got the $10K, but she says the pageant made her lease the car in her own name ... and then they defaulted on the payments.

She's suing for over $50K in damages, plus interest, attorneys' fees and court costs.

Enrique sued for running over girls foot!

According to a lawsuit filed earlier this month, Enrique and his manager (who was driving) were leaving a radio station appearance in Glendale, Calif. back in 2007 when the manager allegedly ran over the foot of an 11-year-old girl. Sources say all the little girl wanted was an autograph.

The incident was apparently so scarring for the mother, that not only is she suing on behalf of her daughter, but she's also suing on her own behalf "as a result of witnessing the accident." Mom claims she suffered "emotional injury and emotional shock to her nervous system causing her damages."

Mother and daughter are seeking damages in excess of $25,000.
