North Korea isn’t the only place where Dennis Rodman gets the A-list treatment. New York strip club Cheetah’s is helping the basketball player-turned-diplomat ring in his 52nd birthday by throwing him a wild party. According to Page Six, the bash is scheduled for May 20 and owners of the club are planning a giant cake served by topless dancers and handing out lace thongs that read “Make Love Not War.”

But that’s not the real gift from Cheetah’s to Rodman: the club will name its infamous V.I.P. room after the birthday boy. The exclusive quarters were previously named after Charlie Sheen, but the Anger Management star threatened to sue the club for millions, alleging that the venue would hurt his reputation.

Rodman, however, doesn’t seem too concerned about that problem.

Now that his image is healing from the debauchery of his North Korean trip/diplomacy attempt, Dennis Rodman is looking to take his basketball ambassadorship to Rome, Italy to help fix the Catholic Church.

According to TMZ, The Worm says his “people” in Rome have reached out to the higher-ups at the Vatican. The reason? They’re trying to arrange a meeting between Dennis and the next pope. Right now the Cardinals are voting and the world is still waiting for a decision. Rodman says he wants to be there when white smoke arises from the famed chimney. But reportedly it is unlikely a vote will be reached today.

Rodman, who via the media has told the world North Korea’s Kim-Jun Un wants to talk with President Obama, wants to offer the Catholic Church his new global message. “I want to be anywhere in the world that I’m needed,” said Rodman “… I want to spread a message of peace and love throughout the world.” Looks like a retired basketball hall of famer needs something to do… Then, again, the new voluntary gig would definitely beat the crazy life he’s been leading any day. Good Luck, Dennis!

Dennis Rodman is taking his role of basketball diplomat very, very seriously.

TMZ reports the NBA Hall of Famer, who sent Washington into fits of giggles when he returned from North Korea with a message from dictator Kim Jong-Un for President Barack Obama (“Call him. Just call him,”), says he plans to return to the rogue nation ASAP to broker a lasting peace deal between the “Axis of Evil” country and the United States.

The Worm did learn a lesson from the ridicule and scorn he faced upon his homecoming, and vowed to apologize for calling Kim’s father, the notorious Kim Jong-Il, a “great leader,” admitting he wasn’t aware of the deceased head of state’s human rights violations.

In related news, North Korea is building more prison camps and illegally testing nuclear warheads (with an aim for a range that would reach Madison Square Garden) as we speak. Watcha gonna do about that, Rodman?

Broke? Who’s broke? That’s the tune Dennis Rodman was singing in Sin City last month, where the financially troubled former NBA star made it rain bills inside a posh boutique.

TMZ found this video of Rodman shopping with friends and, quite literally, throwing fists full of cash onto the floor.

This is the same month Rodman went before a judge claiming he’s too broke to pay the near $1 million he owes in back child support. His attorney also said in court that Rodman suffers from alcoholism.

Perhaps the fact that The Worm was throwing down singles was some indication of his money troubles…or maybe he was so drunk he though the clothing store was a strip club? Either way, clean yourself up, Rod. These days, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.

They tried to make him go to rehab, he said “no, no, no …” But apparently upon second thought, former NBA great and reality dude Dennis Rodman, changed his mind. Instead of the inpatient treatment that friends and family — including Laker’s coach Phil Jackson — wanted him to partake in, Rodman will instead do an outpatient program, where he’ll regularly see a counselor.

Thank, gawd. If any of y’all watched Celebrity Apprentice, then you know you cringed everytime he was on the screen too.

“Yes, they tried an intervention, but unfortunately Dennis refused to go,” Rodman’s rep tells E! News. “We all know how amazing he is when sober, and we hope he gets there soon.”

One reason for his refusal to go into treatment? Rodman’s desire to attend The Celebrity Apprentice reunion show. Says his rep, “He will be in New York City for the show’s finale next Sunday.”

Great news. Get help, brotha.

Note to Dennis Rodman: The next time you want to smack a chick on her ass go to Magic City, not the Hard Rock Café.

A federal judge in Las Vegas has ruled in favor of a 28-year-old “beverage manager” bartender at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

In 2006 she accused Rodman of getting faded and smacking her cheeks.

Sara Robinson also says Rodman grabbed her and forced her to dance with him.

She complained that she was humiliated in front of her co-workers and guests.

As a result, she’s getting $225,000.

I don’t care if you judge me for saying this, but shoot slap me anywhere for 200gs.

As for Rodman, fool, you could’ve did all of that for like $20 and a please.

Let that be a lesson to you: Some can get away with it, but not everyone.

So the ex-NBA freakshow and recent Celebrity Apprentice contestant has gotten the boot.

And we ain’t talking about from a TV show.

Get this: Dennis Rodman was asked to leave the London Hotel in West Hollywood because he allegedly (it’s always allegedly, right?) slapped and groped some female guests. He also apparently yelled a number of obsenities and made children cry (well …).

A staffer told TMZ that he was “the most obscene and out of control guest I’ve ever seen up here.”

Is anyone really shocked though? And is homeboy getting some help? We saw how many vodkas and cranberry mixes he was knocking back on the reality show, right? Let us pray.
