If the 49ers win the Super Bowl, don’t expect to see Richard Sherman celebrating at the White House. The NFL star was asked Thursday if he would go to D.C. to meet Donald Trump, as several championship teams have done in the past … and Sherman essentially shot that down. “I haven’t thought about it. We’ve got a long way between now and then, but I doubt it,” Sherman told SF Chronicle’s Scott Ostler. As with most large groups of people these days, it’s fair to assume not everyone on the team feels the same way Sherman does … especially since his star teammate, Nick Bosa, is a proud Trump supporter. First, the 49ers have to win the Super Bowl — and the Kansas City Chiefs are obviously gonna try to not let that happen. That game goes down Sunday, Feb. 2. The White House honor has become a VERY politically charged event now — with star players from various sports boycotting including Chris Long, Torrey Smith, Mookie Betts, Alex Cora and the entire Golden State Warriors team. On the flip side, there are a ton of athletes who HAVE gone and raved about the experience — including the LSU Tigers football team, NASCAR champ Joey Logano, Tiger Woods and more. Read Full Article

See, President Obama ain’t the only ex-Prez into hoop … check out Bill Clinton at the Lakers game!! #42 was sitting courtside at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday to watch the Nets get smashed by the L.A. Lakers … and judging by the smile on his face, Bill loved it! After the game, Clinton went on to the floor and chopped it up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis … and yeah, that’s Michael Strahan right behind ’em! In fact, 73-year-old Clinton kicked it with a ton of stars at the game — including Matt Barnes, Dwight Howard, Marv Albert and more. It doesn’t appear Hillary was at the game — unclear what she was doing instead. The Lakers are still in 1st place in the NBA’s Western Conference … winning 8 out of their last 10. The Nets have lost 5 in a row … and have only won 2 out of their last 10. Read Full Article

Mama June’s chipper, loving and optimistic message to her kids might seem like a promising sign she’s turning things around, but the problem is … they don’t believe her. Sources close to June’s family tell TMZ … they think her Thursday post — in which she suggested she’s trying to get better and says she loves and misses her children — is a ploy to deceive the public. Exhibit A? They say the photo she used is 2 years old. We’re told the family suspects this is June’s way of getting some positive attention, so she can ultimately start making money through Instagram ads. They think she’s desperate for cash. As for why the family is so skeptical … our sources say June’s only contacted them once recently to check on a family member who had a heart attack. They say she went radio silent again when her kids pressed her on where she was and how she was doing. Translation: They’ve been trying to reach her and they’re available. So, to them her claim about missing them smells like BS. We’re told the family’s stance is the same as it’s been for a long time — they love her and want her to get help, but her BF, Geno has gotta go. Until that happens, they’re all terrified of getting a phone call saying she’s dead. Read Full Article

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley are officially moving on … when it comes to their Vegas home anyway, ’cause TMZ’s learned they’ve listed it for sale. Sources close to the situation tell TMZ … the ‘Jersey Shore’ star and Jen put their home on the market 3 months ago for a cool $869,900 and we’re told the reasoning is surprisingly quite simple — Ron’s moving to L.A. and Jen’s got no use for it and is game for selling it. We’re told Ronnie plunked down all the cash for the crib back in October 2017, but they’ll split the profits, if any. They bought it for $725k. Our sources also say the sale has nothing to do with their drama-filled relationship … it’s just that, logistically, they don’t need it. A source close to Ronnie tells us he footed all the bills for the home as well … and Jen also had a place of her own in the city. The house itself is a marvel … 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and nearly 3,000 square feet of living space. It’s nestled inside a gated community … so, privacy. It also features a full panoramic view of the strip, city and mountains. There’s also a relaxing spa. Ronnie and Jen, however, did anything but relax in that house — the site of some of their most volatile fights in their frequently hostile relationship. You’ll recall they were on their way home when they got into a brutal fight in June 2018 … resulting in Jen’s bust for domestic battery after she allegedly dragged Ronnie with their car. Jen also claimed Ronnie was the one who ransacked the crib on New Year’s Eve 2018 after getting into a huge fight. TMZ also obtained footage of Ronnie going to town on a Ring security camera back in December. On that particular night, Ron had shown up and threw an object through a window when Jen refused to let him inside. Most recently, Jen showed up unannounced to the crib and allegedly attacked Ron with an eyeliner. No word if new buyers are seeking a drama discount. For any prospective new owners — things can ONLY get better! Read Full Article

Diddy is helping shine a light on a group of children battling cancer … and now the kids are getting brand new iPads. Here’s the deal … former celebrity weed dealer Milk Tyson launched a viral campaign to get Diddy to join their crusade to help kids fighting cancer, and get them a segment on the ‘Ellen Degeneres Show.’ The children at Miami-based nonprofit Fighting All Monsters appeared in a viral video with Snoop Dogg, dancing to Diddy’s hit song “Bad Boys For Life” and asking him to vibe with them. Diddy caught wind of the initiative, and blasted the video out Thursday to his nearly 16 million Instagram followers, and now the group says tons of folks want to get involved. Since Diddy’s re-post, we’re told someone donated 100 iPads — worth $21,000 — to the children in the video … and an exec at Apple asked the nonprofit about ways to aid the kids. What’s more, we’re told FAM — which supports pediatric cancer patients — has seen an influx in folks asking to volunteer, with more than 300 people blowing up their inbox within an hour of Diddy’s post. As you know, next week’s Super Bowl is being played in Miami, and we’re told Diddy’s post inspired someone to donate 2 tickets to the big game!!! Yes, 2 lucky kids will get to go!!! Diddy’s getting even more involved — we’re told his team reached out to FAM and they’re planning something BIG. Read Full Article

Three weeks into 2020, and for Tom Sizemore it’s looking a lot like 2019 — he’s been arrested for DUI, and it could impact one of his many prior cases. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the troubled actor was busted Thursday morning around 2:30 AM in Glendale, CA after cops pulled him over a traffic violation. We’re told Tom showed signs of being under the influence and after searching him, cops say they found narcotics on him. He was booked for DUI as well as possession of a controlled substance. This is nothing new with Tom. He was busted for drugs almost exactly a year ago in Burbank, CA, but caught a HUGE break in that case. As part of his plea deal, Tom avoided jail but he needed to keep his nose clean for a year. If a judge finds he violated the terms of the deal, Tom could go straight to jail. You’ll might recall, the “Black Hawk Down” and “Saving Private Ryan” actor was also arrested for domestic violence in 2016 … and there were a handful of other charges prior to that, too. While he’s avoided any long stretch behind bars, Tom’s luck might be running out. Read Full Article

Rick Fox is backing his former teammate Kobe Bryant on WNBA stars playing in the NBA … tellin’ TMZ Sports women can DEFINITELY ball out in the men’s league!!! “Skills are skills,” Fox says. “I mean, you try some of these WNBA ladies and they’ll give you the business, fam!” The Black Mamba said earlier this week there are some WNBA players who can compete with the guys in the Association … specifically naming Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi and Elena Delle Donne. When we got Fox leaving Wally’s in L.A. on Wednesday … he told us he couldn’t agree more, saying, “Skills have nothing to do with your sex or your race.” In fact, Fox says he’s seen some pro women bust NBA players on the court before with his own two eyes!!! “I can think of a couple women that have held their own in pick-up games and competed well,” Fox tells us. “So, it’s not a new thing.” As for how some of the women are feeling about a possible jump to the men’s league … we got Delle Donne at Reagan Airport on Thursday — and she told us she’s flattered by the comments, but she’s got no plans to try out for the NBA just yet.

Antonio Brown is turning himself in … TMZ Sports has learned the NFL star just arrived at a Florida jail after police issued a warrant for his arrest earlier this week. We broke the story, Brown allegedly threw rocks at a moving company truck and then attacked the driver over a dispute stemming from payment for a scheduled delivery at his Hollywood, Fla. home. It all allegedly went down outside of AB’s mansion Tuesday … and in 911 audio of the scene, obtained by TMZ Sports, you can hear the chaotic altercation all play out. The alleged victim tells dispatch AB was under the influence of drugs … and says the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler roughed him up so badly, his shirt was torn and his shoulder was injured. Cops arrested Brown’s trainer, Glenn Holt, for his role in the alleged incident … claiming he injured the driver with Brown. Holt — an ex-NFL player — was hit with a felony burglary with assault or battery charge … but bonded out of jail Wednesday. Cops say Brown was NOT arrested at the same time as Holt because he locked himself in his house and they could not get him to come out. Cops say Brown will be facing charges of burglary with battery and burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, as well as one count of criminal mischief. He’s expected to be held in custody until he faces a judge at a bond hearing Friday morning. Read Full Article
