[ TMZ ] He was hungry for some pizza — but a man who happened to be dining at the same restaurant as NBA star Zach Randolph last year says the basketball star dished out an asskicking! But wait! According to Zach, it could be a shake down. Or a Shakey Down.

A guy named Gary Ferguson has filed a lawsuit against Randolph, claiming the former Los Angeles Clipper beat the crap out of him on a night when the Clips got beat down on the court.

It all went down inside Berri’s Pizza Cafe in L..A. — where Randolph allegedly “verbally and physically threatened” Gary before “attacking” the guy.

Gary’s lawyer claims his client walked away with damaged teeth, a messed up neck and back, a knee injury

that will require surgery, and scars on his face.

As for Zach — his lawyer, Raymond Brothers, tells us he met with Gary’s lawyer who first demanded $250,000, then $200,000 and finally $25,000.

Brothers says Gary’s own lawyer said Gary was “out of control” and just wanted a quick payout. Brothers says it was a shake down and he walked out, only to get a call from Gary’s star witness, who said the case would go away quick if he coughed up some dough. Brothers told her to pound sand.

[ TMZ ] Usher’s bathroom has ignited a war between the singer and the plumbers who worked on it — and the next thing to be drained could be Usher’s wallet.

Bobo’s Plumbing Company in Georgia claims they never got paid for the $2,335 worth of work they did on Usher’s Georgia mansion back in 2007 — work that included installing a shampoo bowl in the home’s private salon and installing all the plumbing in one of his bathrooms.

But here’s the catch — Bobo’s is now suing Usher, claiming if they don’t get paid, they should have the right to sell the home and take their payment from the proceeds.

Calls to Usher’s peeps have not been returned.

[ TMZ ] The DEA claims Michael Douglas‘ son Cameron is a big time crystal meth dealer — one who moved “pounds” of the drug since 2006.

According to his federal complaint filed in New York, DEA agents claim they ran a 3-year investigation, proving the 30-year-old actor sold “multiple pounds” of crystal meth to several people — many of whom are now cooperating in the prosecution of Douglas.

All three witnesses mentioned in the document have pled guilty to narcotics violations. They are cooperating in the hopes of receiving a reduced sentence.

Douglas has been charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of crystal meth and one count of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of “Ice” — which is the purest form of meth.

The DEA further alleges that Cameron deposited and withdrew tens of thousands of dollars in cash from the drug deals.

According to the indictment, Douglas was set up in New York after agents ran a sting operation– in which they caught Douglas accepting $15,000 in cash in exchange for a promise to deliver a half pound of crystal meth.

Douglas later followed up with the drug buyer and had the following conversation, using drug code:

Buyer: “The bath salts are fabulous! Thank you so much.”
Douglas: “Yeah, I thought you would like them my friend … I was so excited for you to take a bath and see for yourself.”

The docs say the sting hauled in somewhere around 215.2 grams of “ice.”

If convicted on all counts, Douglas faces 10 years to life in prison.

[ TMZ ] The guy who played the Black Ranger on “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” TV show was busted in ‘Bama for DUI this weekend.

We’re not trying to be insensitive in a Harvard sort of way. His character, Zack Taylor, was the guy who dressed up in the black spandex costume and fought evil monsters back in the day.

We’re told the actor — whose real name is Walter Jones — was arrested around 4 A.M. Sunday morning by Alabama State Troopers in Huntsville and booked into a local jail.

Law enforcement sources tell us Jones was arrested without incident.

He eventually met bail and was released.

[ TMZ ] A refurbished Amy Winehouse is officially off the hook for punching a fan who wanted a picture with her.

Today in London, the judge found Amy not guilty on assault charges — for the incident that happened after a charity ball last September. While prosecutors claimed the hit was deliberate, Winehouse says she felt intimidated by the drunken fan, but was too short to actually smack the girl in the face.

Winehouse, who showed up to court smokin’ a ciggy, was free to go, go, go.

[ TMZ ] It’s as if Dennis Farina never went to LAX with a gun in his briefcase — because you will never find a trace of legal action against the actor.

Farina’s lawyer, Blair Berk, just convinced a judge to allow the actor to withdraw his no contest plea to the reduced charge of entering an airport sanitary area with a weapon. The judge then expunged the charge from Farina’s record, which was otherwise unblemished in his 64 years.

Berk told the judge, “not all mistakes should be prosecuted as crimes.” Sometimes, a time out is enough.

[ TMZ ] Former “American Chopper” star Cody Connelly claims the show owes him nearly a quarter of a million dollars — and one custom made motorcycle too.

Connelly left the show in 2007, but according to a New York lawsuit we just found, he was only paid for about a third of the episodes in which he appeared.

Connelly also claims he was given a bike called the “Old School Chopper” on one episode … but never actually received the bike.

He’s wants $250,000 in damages.

[ TMZ ] Amanda Beard knows where Godaddy.com can go — straight to court.

Beard, who used to be the pitchwoman for the site, has filed a lawsuit claiming Godaddy.com unlawfully exploited her name and image on the site without permission — after the two agreed to part ways.

We don’t know what caused the break up between the two, but a current check of Godaddy.com shows no signs of a Beard.

Nonetheless, Amanda is seeking unspecified damages. A rep for Godaddy.com says the suit is a crock.
