Casey Anthony -- No Interviews, I'm Getting Treatment
Filed under: Casey Anthony
Casey Anthony won't be sitting down with ABC .. NBC ... CBS or any other network for at least a couple of months -- TMZ has learned Casey will be seeking professional treatment for serious mental issues instead.
Sources close to Anthony tell us ... Casey is seeking treatment for three reasons:
First, Casey now realizes that her questionable behavior when her daughter Caylee went missing back in 2008 stemmed from "obvious mental health issues."
The second reason -- Casey still needs help coping with the "obvious trauma of losing her child."
Third, Casey spent nearly three years in solitary confinement in a Florida jail ... where she spent 23 hours a day in a 4x9 foot cell ... all while facing murder chargers. Our source, directly connected to Casey, tells us, "It messed with her head."
We're told Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, will continue to field offers on behalf of Casey ... and when she's healthy, Anthony will have the final word on where and how her story will be told.

Filed under: Shanna Moakler, Celebrity Justice, Ride Me
Shanna Moakler is DANGEROUS behind the wheel ... according to a woman who fired off a complaint to the cops claiming the former beauty queen nearly ran over a kid in a stroller last weekend.
TMZ has learned ... the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. has reached out to Moakler after receiving a tip that she drove her BMW X5 right through a stop sign at a Calabasas shopping center last weekend ... nearly striking several pedestrians including a kid in a stroller.
We're told one of the pedestrians confronted Moakler moments after the incident -- but Shanna simply dropped some F-bombs at the people and went on with her day.
The Sheriff's Dept's Stop Teen Traffic Offender Program (STTOP) has since reached out to Moakler to get to the bottom of the situation ... but Shanna says the whole thing is a bunch of B.S.
Shanna tells TMZ ... she is "seriously concerned" for the mental state of her accuser -- saying this isn't the first time she's been harassed by this person while visiting the shopping center.

Soulja Boy doesn't know the meaning of the word recession -- because TMZ has learned, the 21-year-old rapper is dropping $55 MILLION on a new private jet.
A member of Soulja's management team tells us ... the kid bought himself a G5 jet as a birthday present to himself this week.

We're told S.B. is also gutting the in-flight lavatory -- and replacing it with a giant, LUXURIOUS bathroom. Oh, he's also giving the jet a custom paint job ... to include his logo.
And if that's not enough for someone's 21st -- we're told Soulja's also spending $300,000 to throw himself a blowout birthday party at a Miami nightclub tonight ... and Dwight Howard, Bow Wow, and Sean Kingston are all expected to attend.

Back in 1999 before becoming a transgendered man, Beatie was in top form and posing competitively in a woman's hot pink bikini and a serious tan that would make Snooki proud.
While now back in decent shape after giving birth, the father of three appears to have transitioned effortlessly from pumping iron to pumping, er, milk.

NFL Star: Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed?
Filed under: TMZ Sports, Adewale Ogunleye
Former Miami Dolphins defensive end Adewale Ogunleye claims a man responsible for keeping his condo clean invaded his space, slept in his bed and even ate his cake ... and the modern-day Goldilocks is now going after the intruder in court.Ogunleye owns two units in the swanky Mondrian South Beach. He claims in the lawsuit ... last month, in the dead of night, he came home to find the silhouette of a large male behind a glass bathroom door.
The imposing NFLer demanded to know the identity of the stranger -- the intruder responded, "Roberto, head of housekeeping."
According to the lawsuit, Roberto was actually Daniel Anaya, who works for the Mondrian. Ogunleye says he was shocked to discover Anaya used his crib as a crash pad, sleeping in his bed and even eating a piece of cake.
Ogunleye is pissed at the Mondrian, claiming it had no policies in place to prevent this type of misconduct, so he's suing Anaya and the Mondrian for unspecified damages.
Maybe the Mondrian will use the Marie Antoinette defense ....
