Scottie Pippen
Felony Assault Suspect
After Alleged Knockout
Scottie Pippen is officially a suspect in a felony assault with a deadly weapon investigation ... after allegedly knocking a man out in Malibu last night.

TMZ broke the story ... 47-year-old Pippen was at Nobu when he got into a fight with a man outside the restaurant, and allegedly knocked him out cold with a punch to the face.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department tells us ... Pippen has since been named as a suspect in a report for assault with a deadly weapon -- the deadly weapon being his shoes. We're told Pippen repeatedly kicked the 50-something-year-old victim when he was down.

As one source put it, "He beat the f*** out of him."

According to witnesses, the fight started after the alleged victim approached Pippen for an autograph. We're told Pippen said no, and something happened to set off the fight.

A family member of the alleged victim tells us, he was released from the hospital this morning with broken teeth, a swollen mouth, as well as back and head injuries.

Pippen's attorney had no comment.

FYI: Pippen was on the original Olympic Dream Team in '92 and retired as the Chicago Bulls' 2nd all-time leader in points, assists, and steals.

Jose Canseco
Cleared
in Sexual Assault Case Las Vegas cops have cleared former baseball slugger Jose Canseco of allegedly sexually assaulting a woman last month.

Vegas detectives have closed the case and will not seek criminal charges.

Canseco was adamant from the get go ... the woman's claims were BS and the two had consensual sex. He took his own polygraph to prove his innocence, and passed with flying colors.

As TMZ first reported, Canseco was photographed with the accuser just hours before the alleged incident, and the two seemed more than cozy.

Rob Kardashian
CRIMINAL CHARGES DROPPED
in Alleged Photog Assault Rob Kardashian's topless paparazzi drama is officially over -- the judge has officially dismissed the charges against RK for allegedly attacking a female snapper who took shirtless pics of him back in March.

We broke the story ... RK was charged with battery and theft after Andra Viak claimed an angry Rob got physcial with her and swiped her memory card when she took photos of the 26-year-old leaving  a West Hollywood gym without a shirt.

Besides the criminal charges -- Viak sued Rob over the incident ... but she dropped the lawsuit last week when Kardashian agreed to pay for the camera equipment.

The only remaining formality was those 2 misdemeanor charges ... but Andra didn't want to pursue them ... and today, the judge officially dismissed the case.

Interesting note -- the prosecution DID NOT WANT TO DROP THE CASE -- but in light of the settlement agreement between Rob and Andra, the judge ignored the prosecution's objection and tossed the charges anyway.
