Mike Tyson and Lakiha Spicer: Married (Again, Sort Of)!

Mike Tyson and wife Lakiha Spicer just got married! Again!

Well, kind of. They pulled a fast one on 150 guests in Vegas on Saturday. Inviting pals to a joint birthday bash, the spouses of two years surprised friends at the M Resort Spa Casino with an elaborate wedding vow renewal.

The former boxing champion and Lakiha Spicer first tied the knot in a quickie Vegas ceremony in 2009. Two years later, they wanted to do it up RIGHT.

After announcing the true nature of the party to guests, Spicer changed from her cocktail dress into a white wedding gown and veil, Page Six reports.

She and Tyson, parents of a six-month-old son named Morocco, then exchanged traditional vows in a Muslim wedding ceremony. And it was magical.

Congratulations (again) to the happy couple!

The Hangover 2 Producers Sued For Mike Tyson Face Tattoo Ripoff

If you've seen The Hangover, you know Mike Tyson has a small, but pivotal and hilarious role. He's not in the sequel, but if you've seen The Hangover 2 previews, you know his infamous face tattoo is - when Ed Helms wakes up with it.

The guy who tattooed Tyson in real life years ago is unamused.

S. Victor Whitmill claims he created AND copyrighted the tat he affixed to Mike Tyson's face in 2003, and is suing Warner Bros. in federal court.

Whitmill says he's never allowed anyone to use the image and that the studio violated his copyright by using it on a hung over Helms in the film.

In addition to wanting the scenes cut from the film (don't bet on it) Whitmill is also demanding a cash settlement of an undisclosed amount.

No comment yet from Tyson, who remains certifiably nuts for having that design - however artistic - tattooed on his face. His face.

Tyson and Spicer already have a two-year-old daughter together, Milan.

The boxer's life has been a series of mishaps and poor decisions, but he said on The View this year that he has a new outlook:

"I'm totally destitute and broke. But I have an awesome life, I have an awesome wife who cares about me. I'm very grateful. I don't deserve to have the wife that I have; I don't deserve the kids that I have, but I do, and I'm very grateful."

Mike Tyson Arrested in Airport Melee

Former heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson was detained at LAX airport Wednesday after getting into an altercation, according to various reports.

A photographer told investigators that in fact Tyson punched him in the face and tried to take the film from his camera. Tyson told investigators that a celebrity gossip photographer struck him in an apparent attempt to provoke him.

Both wanted to press charges against each other, so police placed both under arrest. The photographer was taken to a hospital with injuries to his face.

Tyson was taken by LAX police to the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Division, where he was booked on suspicion of battery and released.

"He was very cooperative," Lt. Aaron McCraney said. "There were no issues."

Note to photographers: You do not want to mess with this man. He is bigger and more insane than you. He has a tattoo on his face. His face. We need not elaborate further.

It's the latest of several clashes between celebrities and paparazzi at LAX.

In 2008, before he moved on to hijacking Taylor Swift on stage, rapper Kanye West was arrested on suspicion of vandalism after he and his road manager both reportedly confronted a photographer and smashed his camera near a terminal.

Mike Tyson on Oprah: Breaking Down, Not Interested in Details of Daughter's Death

Once the most fearsome fighter in the world, Mike Tyson broke down in tears as he described his unspeakable grief after the death of his daughter Exodus.

Mike broke his silence in an emotional interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, recalling how his little girl strangled herself on a treadmill cord.

This happened at her mother Sol Xochitl’s home in Phoenix.

Although nearly five months has passed since the tragic accident, Mike Tyson still struggles to accept it. However, he doesn’t want to know the details.

“From all my experience in rehab, I took responsibility,” he says, “She had to be buried, she had to be taken care of. There was no animosity. There was no anger towards anybody. I don’t know how she died and I don’t want to know.

“But I know somebody’s to blame for it, there will be a problem.”

Mike Tyson's fall from grace pales in comparison to this tragedy.

Exodus’ older brother Miguel, 7, found her unconscious after her neck got caught in the treadmill cord and her mother, who is no longer in a relationship with Mike Tyson, administered CPR before calling emergency services.

She died from her injuries the following day in the hospital.

How did Mike and his temper cope with such devastation?

“My first instinct was a lot of rage and I am so happy I had the tools in life not to go in that direction. I don’t want to go there, I want to win now."

“I’m just fortunate that I have children by different women and as a family we’re so close. That’s my biggest asset. We all love each other.”

Mike recently got married to Lakiha Spicer.

Teen Choice Awards Fashion Face-Off: Levi Johnston vs. Mike Tyson

We know. We are as perlexed as you are.

Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson, it's not. But Levi Johnston and Mike Tyson deserve their Teen Choice Awards fashion due, as well. Or at least we're giving it to them.

As you can see below, the baby daddy of Bristol Palin arrived at the awards show Sunday night for some reason, arm-in-arm with Kathy Griffin. Note to teenagers everywhere: knock up the teen daughter of a V.P. candidate and you too can be famous.

Levi does look pretty dapper, at least. His fashion competition here? Not so much. Mike Tyson, posing with some unidentified and surely traumatized 'tweens, looks like he has let himself go, both with that gut as well as his unbuttoned pink shirt.

Who do you think looked better? Vote in the survey below:
