LENNY DYKSTRA may no longer be playing baseball, but he still likes to take his bat out of the rack.

In December, Lenny was accused of bouncing a $1,000 check to a female escort. In January, he was accused of sexual assault by his housekeeper, who claimed that Lenny had forced her to provide weekly oral sexual favors. The Los Angeles Times quoted her as saying she "needed the job and the money" so she went along with Lenny's requests.

Lenny always could get to third base.

Earlier this month, Lenny sought to hire a new housekeeper. TMZ.com says that when one of the women answered his Craigslist ad, Lenny stripped naked and requested a massage as part of the interview process.

The woman told police that when she arrived at the home, Lenny told her that in addition to cleaning, she would also need to be proficient in massage and he needed to sample her magic fingers.

Alas, the story has no happy ending.

The woman turned down the massage request, left the house, waved down a policeman and hired a lawyer.

Be a fraud, be very a fraud

Mexican actress Fernanda Romero, accused of entering a sham marriage to remain in the U.S., has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for admitting she lied during an immigration proceeding.

U.S. District Judge Manuel Real yesterday sentenced both Romero and her husband, Kent Ross, to 30 days in jail that will be served on weekends.

Tattle music news

* Eminem and Royce da 5'9" are back recording together more than a decade after they first joined forces.

The pair, who met in Detroit in 1997 and worked together under the name Bad Meets Evil, announced yesterday that they're coming out with an EP of new material due to drop June 14.

The perfect gift for Flag Day.

One of the songs they recorded in the late 1990s, called "Bad Meets Evil," appeared on Eminem's major label debut, "The Slim Shady LP."

Each of the rappers pursued a solo career after their initial work together and became embroiled in a feud.

Rappers? Feud? Come on.

They patched things up after the shooting death of their mutual friend and fellow rapper Proof in 2006.

"Royce and I started hanging out again and inevitably that led us back into the studio," Eminem said in a statement. "At first we were just seeing where it went without any real goal in mind, but the songs started to come together crazy, so here we are."

* Billboard.com reports that "Weird Al" Yankovic will return to the nation's few remaining music stores with "Alpocalypse," set for release June 21.
