Paul George Shirtless In St. Barts With Fiancée ... Hot All-Star Break Vacay

No All-Star Game selection (and no healthy elbow) for Paul George, clearly no problem ...

The Clippers forward was spotted living it up in St. Barts instead of healthily playing in the NBA's showcase this weekend ... being seen shirtless in the sun with his fiancee, Daniela Rajic.

George looked to have no issue whatsoever with being away from the trainer's room and the hardwood for a few days ... and Rajic, sporting a colorful one-piece, didn't seem to have too much issue with it either.

The couple has a few more days to burn in the Caribbean Sea too ... as George's Clippers don't return to action until Friday when they take on the Lakers.

George's teammates, meanwhile, are certainly hoping the vacay heals their star ... the guy started the season on fire but has been out the past few weeks with a serious elbow injury.

Just 3 more days 'til the second half of the season tips off ... here's hoping George soaks in every last one of them -- and gets all the Vitamin D he needs to heal his wounds.

Kylie & Travis Baby Wolf's Got His Dad's Name, Too!!!

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have a knack for giving their kids unique first names, but turns out middle names are also important to them ... especially to Travis.

Wolf Webster's birth certificate, obtained by TMZ, is pretty standard. But, notice Wolf's middle name -- Jacques. It's actually Travis' birth name -- Jacques Webster.

Baby Wolf was delivered by Dr. Thais Aliabadi, the same OBGYN who helped to welcome big sister Stormi and cousin True into the world.

It's interesting ... according to Stormi's birth cert, she doesn't have a middle name, so K&T switched things up the second time around.

As we reported, Wolf was born Feb 2 -- we still haven't seen a photo of the latest addition to the Kardashian/Jenner fam, although they did treat us to a pic of his hand. His birth marks Kris Jenner's 11th grandkid.

Guess only time will tell if Wolf honors his dad by following in his creative footsteps.

The Obamas Awesome Hawaiian Mansion Nearing Completion ... Everybody in the Pools

The Obamas' awesome Hawaiian estate is nearing completion ... but not without controversy.

This well could be where Barack and Michelle Obama spend their retirement years -- assuming, of course, that they will ever fully retire. It sits on 3 acres in the community of Waimanalo on the island of Oahu. They bought the property back in 2015 for $8.7 million.

Crews are already landscaping the property, which usually occurs at the end of construction, so looks like they'll be ready for summer.

The former Prez was scoping out the work earlier this month ... checking out the progress.

Fun fact -- the house that was on the property when the Obamas bought it was the house featured in "Magnum P.I." The Obamas razed the house in 2018.

Environmentalists aren't happy with the Obamas construction project ... they allegedly found a loophole in the law to keep a seawall on the property, and they say these seawalls are eroding the coastline.

There will be 3 structures on the site ... presumably one for Secret Service. There are 2 -- count them -- 2 swimming pools.

The Obamas also own an estate on Martha's Vineyard, which they bought back in 2019 for $11.75 million.

Lamar Odom Still Carrying a Torch for Khloe

KHLOE ON MY MIND
CBS

Lamar Odom is sending a message to ex-wife Khloe Kardashian ... after he was evicted from "Celebrity Big Brother."

The former Los Angeles Lakers star had his exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves -- after getting kicked out of the "Celebrity Big Brother" house -- and she asked if there's anything he'd like to say to Khloe.

His response ... "I miss you and I hope to get to see you soon."

Lamar and Khloe -- who were together from 2009 to 2016 -- had a tumultuous relationship ... much of it fueled by Lamar's drug abuse. He's said he has deep regrets and would like a redo if that were possible.

Earlier in the season, Lamar told singer and choreographer Todrick Hall ... "I had some good dreams last night. I dreamt about my ex-wife last night I wish I could take that time back. I miss her so much."

Since their split, Khloe had a daughter, True, with Tristan Thompson ... whom Odom recently called "corny" over the way he's treated her.

Lamar was eliminated on 'CBB' with Todd Bridges during a double-elimination episode. Lamar and Todd have used their time in the house to bond over their sobriety.

And, Lamar says they have a special bond ... "Todd has been sober for 33 years now, so I asked him to be my sober coach. That is why I joined the 'Celebrity Big Brother' cast because sobriety is really important to me at this point in my life."  Lamar says he's been sober for seven years.

Odom had tried moving on from Khloe after their divorce. He got engaged to lifestyle coach Sabrina Parr in November 2019, but they called it off a year later.

The Weeknd & Drake Bday Partying in Vegas ... One of 'Em Hooks Up!!!

The Weeknd had himself quite a weekend -- not only hooking up with a new flame in Simi Khadra ... but linking with an old pal in Drake, who was there for the good time.

Drizzy just posted some photos that showed him having a ball with Abel in Vegas during the latter's 32nd birthday celebration at Delilah. The shots feature Drake and Weeknd embracing in the DJ booth ... and generally enjoying themselves in the lounge and surrounding casinos.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The caption he included ... "We’ve done everything like it’s nothing…isn’t that something." If you aren't familiar, Drake and Weeknd are close buds and longtime collaborators.

Like we told you, Champagne Papi was far from the only celeb in attendance -- Swedish House Mafia was also on hand, as was Kaytranada.

More importantly ... Simi Khadra from twin duo Simi Haze was nearby ... and locking lips with the birthday boy, as seen in exclusive video we obtained.

There have been rumors they're seeing each other, and the clip seems to confirm they're more than just friends.

Oddly enough, Simi was also once close with his ex, Bella Hadid. Small world!!!

Aaron Rodgers I Still Love Shailene Woodley Despite Split

Aaron Rodgers says he still loves Shailene Woodley ... even though the couple has broke off their engagement and ended their romantic relationship.

The Green Bay Packers star penned the mushy message to his ex in a lengthy social media post late Monday night -- saying all kinds of nice things about the actress just days after their breakup.

"Thanks for letting me chase after you the first couple months after we met, and finally letting me catch up to you and be a part of your life," Rodgers wrote in the note.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"Thanks for always having my back, for the incredible kindness you show me and everyone you meet, and for showing me what unconditional love looks like, I love you and am grateful for you."

Rodgers attached a photo of him and Woodley snuggling on a couch to the message.

Rodgers and Woodley ended things very recently ... with one report saying the quarterback got "cold feet" over their upcoming nuptials. The report added that Woodley felt Rodgers "neglected their relationship."

The two had dated for around two years -- with Rodgers announcing their engagement in Feb. 2021.

Rodgers' message Monday night wasn't just aimed at Woodley, he also complimented his Packers teammates and thanked them for the year.

Rodgers ended his note by urging his fans to "spread love and gratitude."

Unclear if the message is a precursor to the quarterback's retirement from football ... but Rodgers has said he's expecting to make a decision about his future very soon.

Stay tuned.

'Tinder Swindler' Simon's Bodyguard Issues Demand ... Apologize Now, Netflix!!!

The so-called "Tinder Swindler" isn’t the only one who got a bad rep from the Netflix documentary -- his bodyguard thinks he did too, and now he's threatening legal action.

If you’ve seen the doc, you know we’re talking about Piotr -- who was prominently featured as the personal security guard for Simon Leviev ... and some people think the doc makes it seem like he was in on Leviev's alleged scams.

That’s what’s he and his team are saying anyway -- and they think it's hurt Piotr's reputation and ability to work, so they’ve fired off a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix. Much like Simon dealing with one of his GFs ... they have a lot of demands.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, attorney Joanna Parafianowicz says she wants Netflix to yank the 'Swindler' doc altogether.

Not just that, she's demanding Netflix publish an apology to Piotr on its official websites.

Of course ... Piotr is also asking for money due to what he characterizes as irreparable harm to his reputation and career. All in all, he's asking for 5 million Euros (about $5.6 mil).

His rationale for all this is ... Netflix never got permission to use his image or likeness, nor did it include his side of things. Piotr’s attorney says the current depiction of him as it stands -- namely, that he knew what Simon was doing -- is completely false. They insist Piotr was completely out of the loop on that front.

Parafianowicz has already publicly threatened a lawsuit in the wake of ‘Swindler’ blowing up as a huge streaming hit ... but now, she’s putting it in writing.

The Weeknd Spotted kissing Simi Khadra of 'Simi Haze' in Vegas!!!

WEEKND FUN
TMZ.com

Looks like The Weeknd has got his eye -- and lips -- on a new woman ... Simi Khadra, from the twin duo "Simi Haze."

The Weeknd was throwing himself a birthday bash Saturday night at Delilah in Vegas ... the club was packed with folks celebrating his 32nd b-day. It was around 2 AM when he and American-Palestinian DJ Simi Khadra were seen making out like there was no tomorrow.

There's been a buzz the two have hooked up ... this clip seems to confirm it!

The club was playing The Weeknd's hits long into the night, and they even had cocktails created just for him. Simi chronicled the bday trip on her Insta story. Drake was also in attendance, and Swedish House Mafia and Kaytranada both hit the DJ booth.

A few months ago, rumors started spreading the grammy-winning singer was dating Angelina Jolie ... even putting lyrics in his last album about his "new girl" who's a "movie star."

It's worth noting ... Simi and her twin, Haze, were once close with The Weeknd's ex, Bella Hadid. Quite the small Hollywood dating pool.

'RHOA' Star Sheree Whitfield Filming With BF Tyrone Gilliams ... The Ice Has Thawed!!!

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Sheree Whitfield has been filming for the show's upcoming season, and longtime beau Tyrone Gilliams will be joining her on camera for the first time ... after being on non-speaking terms for months.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the two recently filmed multiple scenes together, including the season finale, in which Sheree hosts a fashion show.

Having Tyrone on is a big deal for the reality series ... as you'll recall, the couple had serious bad blood after Sheree allegedly tried to spring a camera crew on him back in November ... he was on home confinement at the time and wasn't able to leave the house for any reason -- filming included.

Tyrone had his attorneys fire off a cease and desist to NBC, Bravo and production company Truly Original ... asking to scrub every trace of him from 'RHOA' footage, social media posts, and advertising that used his name.

Recently, Tyrone and his attorneys were able to hash out a deal with Truly, which led to him filming mid-February. Now that he's off home confinement, he was able to shoot with Sheree and the other 'RHOA' cast members in ATL.

This will be the first time Tyrone appears on camera for the show ... their relationship was spotlighted in seasons' past ... they were together while he was locked up, which made for an interesting story arch.

Shannon Sharpe 'I'm All For' Kanye Buying Broncos ... Need Minority Owners

021422_shannon_sharpe_kal
DOWN FOR IT!!!
TMZSports.com

NFL legend Shannon Sharpe supports Kanye West's Donda Sports bid to buy the Broncos -- where the former great TE starred -- telling TMZ Sports the league must have minorities in ownership positions.

We talked to Shannon as he was leaving SoFi Stadium after the Super Bowl ... and the HOF'er told us he supports Ye -- and other prominent Black men and women -- buying teams.

"I'd be happy, if a minority, Robert Smith, I see Byron Allen is interested," Sharpe said. "I'm all for it."

"That’s the organization that I played 12 years for. I have a lot of respect for the Bowlen family. They did a great job with me and my family."

All the talk comes from a social media message from Antonio Brown, who describes himself as Donda Sports' president, claiming Ye's company wants to buy the Broncos.

Sharpe says if Kanye could find some investors, he'd support him making a play at owning the Broncos ... assuming he could get the necessary 75% approval from other owners.

But, West might not need anyone else. Forbes lists his net worth at $1.8 billion ... but during a recent interview, Kanye claimed to be worth substantially more -- $10 BILLION.

Last year Forbes valued the Broncos at $3.75 billion.

As for Ye and AB ... they've been nearly inseparable since connecting after Brown's unceremonious exit from the Tampa Bay Bucs in January.

Kanye seemed to embrace Brown ... and the two formed a close friendship and business relationship.

Bottom line ... regardless of how the NFL owners may feel about Kanye, AB, or Donda Sports, Shannon tells us money talks.

"The biggest bidder is gonna win. NFL is about dollars and cents. If he got the dollars, it makes sense."

Guess Who This Mullet Man Turned Into!

Before this cute little kid with a full flowing mullet was lending his Hollywood grade hair to some impressive television and movie projects, he was just another cool kid growing up while struggling with the duality of business in the front ... and party in the back.

If you're still having a hard time deciding who this mini man with a Mississippi mudflap is, you should cut into some of their growing entertainment projects including "Riverdale," "The Sun Is Also A Star" and "American Horror Story."

Even though this star no longer has his wow-factor waterfall he will always be considered a bad boy for life.

Can you guess who he is?

The Miz Logan Paul Is My Tag Team Partner!!! ... For WrestleMania Match

WWE Superstar The Miz just announced on Monday Night Raw who his tag team partner for WrestleMania will be ... and it's none other than YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul!!

Miz was hosting his popular "Miz TV" show in front of a sold-out crowd in Columbia, South Carolina just minutes ago ... when WWE legend Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik, interrupted him out of nowhere.

Of course, Miz didn't appreciate the Mysterios crashing his show ... and ultimately issued a challenge to fight them in a match on the grandest stage of them all -- WrestleMania.

Check out the clip -- Miz proposes the tag team match and introduces Logan Paul as his surprise partner.

"Wrestlemania just got more stupendous," one of the commentators said.

Much of the WWE universe was in shock to see LP ... who's made a name for himself in a different kinda combat.

But the Miz was overjoyed to have Paul by his side ... and the newly formed duo didn't wait until Mania to get things started with the Mysterios.

Miz and Paul ambushed Rey and Dominik ... hitting both of them with Miz's signature "skull-crushing finale" finisher.

Unclear how Logan will fare in the WWE world ... but with the most must-see former WWE champ showing him the ropes, we got a feeling it'll be AWESOMEEEEEEE!!

Juwan Howard Suspended Rest Of Regular Season ... After Smacking Incident

UPDATE

4:10 PM PT -- More details on the punishments have been released ... as Howard was hit with a $40k fine. Gard was also hit with a $10k penalty.

UPDATE

Michigan players Moussa Diabate and Terrance Williams and Wisconsin's Jahcobi Neath were suspended one game.

UPDATE

Krabbenhoft will not be suspended or fined.

UPDATE

The Big Ten says it reviewed postgame footage to come up with its decision ... with commish Kevin Warren saying, "Big Ten Conference coaches and student-athletes are expected to display the highest level of sportsmanship conduct."

UPDATE

"Our expectation is that the incident yesterday will provide our coaches and student-athletes with the opportunity to reflect, learn and move forward in a manner that demonstrates decorum and leadership on and off of the court."

Juwan Howard has been punished for smacking an opposing coach during a wild altercation over the weekend ... with Michigan reportedly banning the guy from the Wolverines' sidelines for the rest of the regular season.

Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel just reported the news ... one day after Howard kicked off a brawl at the end of the Michigan vs. Wisconsin game by taking a swipe at Badgers assistant Joe Krabbenhoft.

022122_michigan_wisconsin_brawl_kal
ALL-OUT BRAWL
WKOW

The ban would effectively be a 5-game suspension for Howard ... as the Wolverines have just five contests left before they play in the postseason Big 10 Tournament.

As we previously reported, Howard told media members following the altercation that he got aggressive because Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard had put his hands on him first.

"I think that was very uncalled for, for him to touch me," Howard said after the game, "as we were verbalizing and communicating with one another. So, that's what ended up happening."

Many had speculated Howard would be banned for longer -- and, considering the melee ended up being very, very ugly, some thought it could cost the 49-year-old his job.

Michigan, meanwhile, is 14-11 this season.

Michael Buble Wife Pregnant with Baby No. 4 ... Revealed in New Music Vid

022122_michael_buble_kal
SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT

Michael Buble is having another kid -- his fourth -- with his wife, Luisana Lopilato, who's showing off her baby bump in a sneak peek of his new music video ... surprise!!!

TMZ obtained this clip of Buble's forthcoming video for his song, 'I'll Never Not Love You,' which is expected to be released sometime this week ... and lo and behold, you see Luisana toward the end pulling her hubby out of a dream sequence -- revealing she's preggo.

No word on how far along she is exactly -- we've learned not to guess. We ain't doctors!

BTW, we're told this music video is actually a call-back to the first time Michael and Luisana appeared on camera together for his smash hit, 'Haven't Met You Yet.'

Apparently, this is a continuation of that story, and our sources tell us there will be lots of shots featuring iconic romantic scenes from movies like "Titanic," "The Notebook" and "The Princess Bride."

We've reached out to Buble's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

As you know, Luisana and Michael already have 3 children together. Mazel tov on the growing family!!!

Rams' Van Jefferson Super Bowl Baby Has A Name!!! ... Call Him 'Champ!!!'

Van Jefferson's Super Bowl baby finally has a name ... and fittingly, it's "Champ."

After days of deliberating, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver said on "The Adam Schefter Podcast" this week that he and his wife, Samaria, just settled on the name.

"Champ Curtis Jefferson," Van said. "That's the name we got."

THE WINNING NAME

Of course, it's an extremely fitting name, considering the baby was born just minutes after Jefferson and the Rams were crowned World Champions -- but it certainly took a while for Van and his wife to land on the name.

Jefferson had told us at the Super Bowl parade last week that the couple was actually considering "Wynn" or "Miles" ... but he explained he just ultimately couldn't pass on "Champ."

"We just looked it up and 'Champ' is like a warrior," Van said, "and my wife is a warrior."

Van ain't lying ... you'll recall, Samaria was actually stretchered out of SoFi Stadium during the Rams' win over the Bengals on Sunday so she could have the child.

Van said he had to watch the birth of the baby boy on FaceTime because of horrific traffic after the game -- but he said he was so grateful for his wife and her efforts on the big day, he bought her a Range Rover.

Van said he's been on "Cloud Nine" the past few days ... and made it clear, it really is great to be a champ.

'Tinder Swindler' Simon Leviev Still Ballin' (Or So It Seems) ... Goes Ferrari Shopping!!!

These new pics of Simon Leviev make ya think -- somewhere a woman is crying about losing a big stack o' money, 'cause the guy's perusing super pricey sports cars in his native Israel!!!

The so-called 'Tinder Swindler' -- the title of the Netflix documentary about Simon -- was spotted on the prowl over the weekend in Tel Aviv at a luxury dealership, and naturally ... he was checking out Ferraris.

As you can see, SL rolled up in an SUV with what appear to be bodyguards trailing behind -- protection from his "enemies," no doubt -- and wearing a Gucci jacket worth thousands.

But that's nothing compared to the whips he's eyeballing! Some of the Ferrari models in his sights, including a 296 GTB, which go for as high as $250,000 MSRP. And not only did Simon take a good hard look at the exteriors, but he actually got inside at least one of 'em to get a feel from the inside.

From the outside looking in, Simon would definitely seem to be rolling in the dough to be able to shop for a prancing horse.

We should note -- for the sake of any impressionable women seeing this -- that Simon did NOT cruise away in any of the cars.

Considering his history of alleged fraud -- the documentary claims he bilked women out of more than $10 mil -- you gotta wonder if this is all just for show, or if he's legit rich.

We do know he's got a new gig with Cameo ... but let's be real, that ain't Ferrari money! As they say, fake it 'til you make it.
