Before you get all in a huff, it's a famous line from "Jerry Maguire."
Sitting courtside at the Lakers game, Tom Cruise said hello to both Chris Brown and Kobe Bryant last night.
Not pictured: Cuba Gooding Jr., probably seated in section 310.

Danny Masterson from "That 70s Show" is now an official victim of the housing collapse -- he's being sued for nearly $3 mil over a condo deal gone very bad.
Danny took out an astounding $3.2 million loan for construction of a condo unit in Los Angeles -- maybe that sounded like a bargain back in 2007.
Anyway ... the housing market imploded and Danny allegedly stopped making payments.
So TomatoBank has sued him in L.A. County Superior Court for the balance -- $2,911,586.11, plus interest.
Danny's rep says the filing is "nonsense" and "has no merit" and says the bank "breached their loan agreement with Danny and his partners."

Kobe Bryant ditched his usual Lakers gear in favor of some festive green when he took his daughter Gianna to Disneyland yesterday.
St. Patrick's Day is the only day of the year when a Laker is allowed to wear Boston Celtics colors.

Carmelo Anthony and his fiancee LaLa Vazquez are heading to the land of purple and gold -- because we've learned the soon-to-be married couple just scored a swanky Los Angeles love nest.
Even though the Denver Nuggets superstar and LaLa still hang their hats in Colorado -- we've learned they bought the 6,500 sq. ft. Spanish-style house in L.A. as well because, well, they can.
The house -- valued at nearly $2 million -- has 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, a gorgeous infinity edge pool and a cabana in the back yard.

Apolo Ohno's lower body is so powerful -- dude claims he can leg press 1800 pounds of raw steel ... which is the Hollywood equivalent of 20 Nicole Richies. 
For the record, Ohno only weighs about 145 -- without his eight Olympic medals of course.

Justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took a few weeks, but cops have finally arrested a man they believe snatched a TMZ camera from a TMZ photog (while it was recording) .... and it's all because the perp did the most stereotypical bad guy thing ever -- he returned to the scene of the crime! 
It all went down at L.A. County Superior Court yesterday, when our cameraman was trying to shoot Kid Rock -- and noticed the suspect walking around the very area where our photog was jacked last month.
Our photog tipped off the cops, who swarmed in and made an arrest -- and of course, our photog recorded the whole thing ... while holding on to his camera this time.
FYI -- the perp's name is Ysuef Bickhem.

Kate Gosselin will practice her dance moves for "Dancing with the Stars" one flight below her brood -- in the basement.
Kate says she'll be practicing her moves in a newly-converted dance studio in the basement of her home -- so she can be close to her kids. And a source tells us "Dancing with the Stars" is footing the bill for the makeshift studio.
Kate's dancing partner, Tony Dovolani, will go to Kate's home for practice.
Kate, we're told, will only be in L.A. two days a week, for the taping. When she's in La La Land, her kids will stay in PA with a nanny.
Our source says Kate told the "Dancing" folks, she's doing the show "because she's a single mom trying to make money."

The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) paid a visit to the home of Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller last night ... sources tell TMZ. 
Our sources tell us the visit was triggered by Pitkin County Department of Social Services -- which has an active investigation following the Christmas Day incident between Charlie and Brooke.
We're told Pitkin -- which services Aspen -- wanted to observe the children but they were in Los Angeles. After some squabbling over whether the kids should come back to Aspen, Pitkin officials contacted DCFS in L.A. and asked them to pay a visit.
Last night's visit was not an emergency -- we're told it's just when DCFS was able to get out and see the kids.
We're also told DCFS will take over the case because the kids are now living in L.A.

This footage is frickin' insane!!!
Some dude with a pair of brass cojones pulled a classic snatch-and-grab on a TMZ camera Thursday -- and it all went down right in front of an L.A. courthouse!!!
Our camera guy was shooting Dennis Hopper's lawyer when some crook snuck up from behind and yanked the camera right out of our guy's hand while the camera was rolling.
The camera recorded the whole thing as the scumbag went sprinting through a parking lot ... and ultimately ran right into another TMZ cameraman.
The perp panicked and put down the camera but continued to book it down the street on foot until he was long gone.
The whole thing was insane -- but if you recognize ol' Shifty Stickyfingers over there, call the police, stat.

Vinny from "Jersey Shore" is really sorry the Northeast blizzard kept him from a charity event at Yale University -- but fear not Ivy Leaguers, Vinny is still hell-bent on partying with the smart kids. 
Vinny was supposed to host the "Kiss Away Cancer Date Auction" today but was grounded in Los Angeles due to the snowstorms ripping up the NE ... so he sent a video message instead.
During the clip, Vinny says he's bummed out that he got "detained" but swears that if the Yalies can raise $4,000, he'll do "whatever it takes" to come out to New Haven and party in the next few months.

Conrad Murray's people just told TMZ they are ticked off that they are caught in the middle of a tug of war between the LAPD and the L.A. County D.A. -- and they will show up in court at 1:30 PM today to surrender ... whether charges are filed or not.
As we first reported, a feud is raging between the LAPD and the D.A. -- the D.A. wants Murray to surrender and the LAPD wants him arrested before coming to court ... on charges of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
We reported last night that things were so bad between the two agencies that the D.A. pulled the plug on today's arraignment.
But Miranda Sevcik, the rep for Dr. Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff, tells TMZ "We are stuck in the middle of something we can't control." Sevcik, who called the feuding "insane," says "Dr. Murray will wait for a call as to where and when he will surrender" and adds if the call doesn't come he will show up anyway at 1:30 PM.
The problem for Dr. Murray -- if the D.A. doesn't file charges this morning, there's nothing to surrender to...
Stay tuned ...

With Britney Spears busy recording -- and wearing ill-fitting dresses in Miami and at the Grammys -- this weekend, Kevin Federline kept himself and his girlfriend occupied by looking after adorable lil Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Sean, Jayden and Britney all seem to thrive when being looked after by their fathers.

An alleged do-gooder has filed a creditor's claim against the Michael Jackson estate, on behalf of the City of Angels.
Jose Freddie Vallejos claims it was illegal for Los Angeles city fathers to underwrite the Michael Jackson memorial last July to the tune of $3.3 million.
Vallejos claims the memorial benefited the estate so the estate should pay the full bill.
He filed the claim as a taxpayer for the City of L.A.

TMZ has learned Brittany Murphy had a will when she died -- a will she executed before she met husband Simon Monjack.
Sources say the will left her estate to her mother, Sharon Murphy.
The house Brittany owned and died in was held in trust -- a trust created several years before she met Monjack. He is not listed on the title.
We do not know if Murphy amended her will after she was married. So far we have no evidence Murphy drafted a codicil (amendment) to the will.
