2:43 PM PT -- Olivia just confirmed the news, posting a series of pics from Christian's proposal.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are ready to spend the rest of their lives together ... TMZ Sports has learned they're engaged!!!
The 26-year-old NFL star popped the question to the 30-year-old supermodel while the two were on a recent road trip vacation ... and we're told Culpo said "yes."
Of course, her answer should surprise no one ... 'cause the two have been absolutely inseparable since they began dating back in 2019.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Despite his busy football career -- which featured a trade from the Carolina Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers this past season -- Culpo was spotted with McCaffrey often ... attending plenty of his games and hanging with him and their families in offseasons.
Our sources say McCaffrey had been planning to propose to Culpo for the last couple months -- hitting up a jeweler in New York back earlier this year to get the ring.
No word on a wedding date just yet ... but you can bet it'll be star-studded -- and lavish -- when the two eventually say "I Do."
We reached out to a rep for Olivia .. so far no word back.
Congrats!!!

Bam Margera Responds to TRO ... I Was Protecting My Young Daughter!!!

Exclusive

8:42 AM PT -- 4/11 -- A judge has dismissed the temporary restraining order.
11:18 AM PT -- 4/8 -- Bam's responded to word of the restraining order, and his explanation of the situation is that he was only out to defend his daughter.
Check out his since-deleted video for yourself ... it's somewhat rambling, but he says Cardenas has nothing to worry about. Who should be worried, Bam insists, is Knoxville.
Bam Margera allegedly threatened to use brass knuckles to kill a man ... and the man thinks loud sex might be the reason why.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a 28-year-old man named Daniel Cardenas claims Bam burst into his home in the middle of the night last month, waking him from his sleep and getting in his face to make a death threat.
Cardenas claims Bam told him something along the lines of, "You have 12 hours to leave the house or I will kill you with my brass knuckles."
The guy claims his roommate heard the alleged threat, came in the room and forced Bam to leave ... but he says Bam came back 90 minutes later and again slammed his door open, waking him and telling him, "You have 12 seconds to leave," while shoving a clenched fist with a handful of rings in his face in another perceived threat.
For context, Cardenas claims he lives in an Oceanside, CA home where Bam's girlfriend, Jessica, and her 8-year-old daughter have been staying in the wake of Bam's domestic violence arrest.
TMZ broke the story ... Bam was arrested for domestic violence after a woman told police the former "Jackass" star kicked her ... and our sources said the woman was Bam's current girlfriend.
In the docs, Cardenas claims Jessica and her daughter have been staying in his home since Bam's arrest, and he says the folks living in the home got mad at him a couple days after Bam's arrest because he says he was having "some very loud sex in the house" and Jessica's kid may have overheard.
In seeking court-ordered protection from Bam, Cardenas says ... "All I can figure is Jessica told Bam about the loud sex which her daughter overheard and this is why he was so upset, although it of course gives him no right to attack me, threaten my life, or kick me out of a home he has no rights to."
Cardenas also claims Bam told him, "That girl will have PTSD for the rest of her life," when making the alleged threats.
The judge signed off on a temporary restraining order ... and now Bam has to stay 100 yards away from Cardenas and the home.

Celeb Realtor Kurt Rappaport Ex-Cali Residents Coming Back ... Due to Political Chaos in Southern States

Exclusive

The thousands of Californians who've fled to Tennessee, Florida and Texas are having second thoughts ... and many are, as they say, going back to Cali ... so says L.A. real estate mogul Kurt Rappaport.
Kurt joined us Friday on "TMZ Live" to fill us in on the slow reversal of the west coast exodus -- spurred by things like the loss of abortion rights, the "don't say gay" bill, drag show bans and the reheated battle over gun laws.
The celebrity realtor says most who left pointed to rising taxes and cost of living in CA, but now political moves in their new home states are creating deep regrets.
The school shooting in Nashville sparked protests in Tennessee's state capitol, leading to Thursday's astounding expulsion of 2 state legislators -- a move many see as a death knell for democracy.
Kurt admits the Golden State has its issues -- the high taxes are no joke -- but he adds, it's also a big melting pot of cultures, ideas, ethnicities and opinions ... which you won't find in some parts of the country.
Bottom line ... he says some former Californians are realizing money isn't the only thing to consider when choosing where to put down roots.

Monica No 'Goonica' Here ... Stops Fans From Throwing Blows
Monica put a damper on her "Goonica" nickname, and a few fans' chances of landing more punches during a fight that erupted at her show.
The star singer was recently in D.C. for the R&B Experience Tour, and was bringing the house down with her hit ballad, "Why I Love You So Much" ... when she noticed the brawl breaking out in the stands right in front of her.
A confused Monica wondered what about her quiet storm classic could prompt people to fight and demanded they stop ... even offering to buy them a drink to cool them off.
“I ain’t singing 'Knuck If You Buck' baby, calm that s*** down,” she told the rowdy bunch, referencing Crime Mob's 2004 fight-starting record.
The bribe didn't seem to work and Monica suggested they take the scuffle outside ... and cleverly dropped her fan-favorite song "So Gone" to celebrate the fans' exit from the venue.
Monica has long been accused of having a thug side ... and did her best to explain the nickname to Stacey Abrams and Ciara last year during election season.
A true "Goonica" would've let the fans fight, though!!! 😇

WWE Apologizes For Showing Auschwitz During WrestleMania Promo

WWE apologized on Friday for showing a photograph of the Auschwitz concentration camp where more than 1 million Jews were murdered ... during a WrestleMania promo Saturday night.
The company faced backlash from fans, media, and even the Auschwitz Memorial once it became clear they used the image to promote the Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio match.
But now, the WWE is apologizing, saying they had no idea the image was used.
"We had no knowledge of what was depicted. As soon as we learned, it was removed immediately,” the company told The Washington Post.
It remains to be seen if the explanation will be enough ... the Auschwitz Memorial ripped into WWE before the apology, saying, "The fact that Auschwitz image was used to promote a WWE match is hard to call 'an editing mistake.'"
"Exploiting the site that became a symbol of enormous human tragedy is shameless and insults the memory of all victims of Auschwitz."
So WWE used footage of Auschwitz in the Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio video package that aired on its pre-show. Relevant shot is at about the 15-second mark. What an unforced error that is. pic.twitter.com/DbZY9BOOx5
— Kenny (@fusionaddict) April 2, 2023 @fusionaddict
According to Auschwitz Memorial's website, the Germans established Auschwitz in 1940 in German-occupied Poland during World War II, and it was the largest of the Nazi concentration camps.
WWE, once they became aware of what happened, replaced the image of Auschwitz with generic footage of barbed wire on later airings and reruns of WrestleMania.

Cash App Founder's Fatal Stabbing Video Shows Mortally Wounded Bob Lee Collapse ... Suspect Still At Large
Dramatic new video shows the shocking moment Cash App founder Bob Lee collapsed in front of a San Francisco building and desperately tried to flag down a passing car while dialing 911 -- after he was brutally stabbed.
Cops Arrest Tech Exec for Murder of Cash App's Bob Lee
Check out the surveillance footage, obtained by the Daily Mail, depicting a badly injured Lee staggering up to the apartment building early Tuesday morning before he dropped to the ground. Not another person was in sight.
At first, Lee seemed motionless -- as if on the brink of death -- but then he got to his knees and called police using a cell phone in his bloody hands. He allegedly told the 911 operator, "Help. Someone stabbed me."
Suddenly, Lee propped up and waved at what appeared to be a passing vehicle. He then struggled to his feet and clutched the stab wounds to his torso as he walked off, presumably to get help.
In another part of the video, Lee approached a car that had stopped at an intersection. Although it's hard to see what happened next, Lee reportedly lifted his shirt, revealing his injuries to the driver as he begged for assistance. But, the motorist inexplicably sped away, leaving Lee alone in the middle of the empty street.
First responders arrived on scene and provided medical treatment to Lee, who later died at the hospital.
The unknown assailant fled and was still at large as of this morning.
At a press conference Wednesday night, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott declined to give a motive or say if the attack was random or targeted.
Cops reportedly recovered a kitchen knife with a 4-inch blade in a parking lot near the crime scene.
Elon Musk and other high-profile tech execs were outraged by the murder, and some took to social media to air their grievances to San Francisco officials over what they view as a rise in violent crime in the city.
Lee, who was married with 2 children, was the creator of Cash App - a payment service in which people can transfer funds to each other using their mobile phones. Before his death, the 43-year-old was the chief product officer for MobileCoin -- a cryptocurrency start-up.

Caitlyn Jenner Rips Nike Over Mulvaney Deal ... 'This Is An Outrage!!!'
Caitlyn Jenner is furious with Nike over its new endorsement deal with Dylan Mulvaney ... saying the sneaker giant is going "so woke" by throwing money at the trans influencer, but not Olympic hero Allyson Felix.
The former decathlete weighed in on the social media star's partnership with the Swoosh on Thursday ... and her issue isn't with Mulvaney -- she actually commends Dylan for securing the bag.
Instead, Jenner is pissed at the move because Felix -- a seven-time Olympic gold medalist -- claimed Nike offered her a 70% pay cut and denied her requests for maternity protections after she got pregnant in 2017. She let her contract expire, and she went on to sign with Athleta.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Jenner is using Felix's experience to get her take across ... saying, "As someone that grew up in awe of what Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke!"
"We can be inclusive but not at the expense of the mass majority of people, and have some decency while being inclusive. This is an outrage."
'Women are being treated with total disdain at the moment, particularly in the world of sport where physiology makes so much difference'

Jenner isn't the only Olympian fuming over Mulvaney's deal -- silver medalist Sharron Davies called for folks to boycott Nike ... labeling it "a kick in the teeth" to women.
Mulvaney's business moves have been at the center of debate lately -- her Bud Light partnership even had Kid Rock shooting beer cans out of frustration.

William H. Macy has rocked his neighbor's world by massacring his trees ... so much so he's suffering great emotional distress and now the neighbor wants more than half a mil to make things right.
Pierce Brown lives next door to Macy, and while Pierce was on vacay, people who were working on Macy's property butchered trees that were squarely on Brown's land ... this according to a lawsuit filed by Brown.
Mr. Brown says the damage was devastating ... not only has it obliterated his privacy, presumably turning his house into a duck on a platter for all to see, but he says it's compromised the hillside ... a huge problem for folks who live in the hills of Hollywood.
Brown says after he got over the shock, he went and spoke with Macy, who acknowledge the misdeeds of his workers.
As for why Mr. Brown is suing Macy for $600k ... let us count the ways -- damage to the trees, loss of privacy, destabilization of the hillside, loss of property value, loss of use and enjoyment of the property and an increase in noise. But wait, there's more -- emotional distress, irritation, annoyance and discomfort.

One of the 4 men accused of killing Pop Smoke has pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter and home invasion robbery ... and he'll now be incarcerated for several years.
Judge J. Christopher Smith sentenced the now 20-year-old defendant to 4 years and 2 months in a juvenile treatment facility on Thursday after the man pled guilty to entering the Hollywood Hills mansion to rob the late rapper before things ended in bloodshed.
The L.A. Times reports the judge refused to reduce his sentence by 2 years and 8 months -- the time he's already spent behind bars -- and warned the man he could remain in juvenile custody until he was 25.
His attorney previously argued his client suffered from a learning disability that made him incapable to stand trial.
Pop Smoke was shot and killed in February 2020 after a home invasion inside of a Hollywood Hills mansion erupted in gunfire. As we reported, it was a tough case to crack ... police caught no breaks during a lengthy investigation.
Three other defendants ... 2 juveniles and Corey Walker are also charged, but have not yet stood trial.

Jeremy Renner Snowplow Animation Shows Gruesome Accident
Jeremy Renner was so badly injured after being run over by that snowplow, he actually saw one of his eyes -- which had popped out of its socket -- with his other eye.
Check out the animation of how the accident occurred ... an animation featured in his ABC sit-down with Diane Sawyer, which aired Thursday night. As Jeremy describes it, he was in the cab of the snowplow but wanted to see where his nephew was. He stepped onto the track of the snowplow to look, but the track was moving and he fell to the ground. He then saw his nephew was in harm's way and tried to get back on the plow by jumping on the track, and that's when he was run over.
Jeremy says it was all a blur ... "Too many things are going in the body to feel pain, it's everything." He went on ... "It's like if your soul could have pain."
Jeremy got extremely emotional when Diane showed him a photo of his daughter hugging him during his recovery.
As you know, Jeremy suffered more than 30 broken bones, a punctured liver and many other injuries. He's making what looks like a super-human recovery.
As for the future, it's clear Jeremy still wants to act -- even in action movies -- but he'll leave the stunt work to someone else.

Swimming Star Riley Gaines 'Ambushed,' 'Physically Hit' ... In Conflict With Trans Activists
9:09 AM PT -- San Francisco State University and its police department said in a statement to TMZ Sports on Friday no arrests were made Thursday night ... though they are still investigating the situation.
"The disruption occurred after the conclusion of the event which made it necessary for UPD officers to move the event speaker from the room to a different, safe location," university officials added.
Swimming star Riley Gaines says she was attacked by protestors on Thursday night and forced to barricade inside of a college classroom for hours ... after she gave a speech arguing that transgender athletes shouldn't be allowed to compete against biological females.
The heated confrontation went down at San Francisco State University's campus in Northern California ... where Gaines had arrived to speak with students at a Turning Point USA event.
In her chat with a small gathering inside of a classroom on campus, Gaines -- who famously spoke out against the NCAA and transgender swimmer Lia Thomas earlier this year -- explained why she believes trans athletes have an unfair advantage over biological women.

But, minutes into her talk, she was interrupted by a group of protestors ... who only got louder and louder throughout the night.
Eventually, Gaines said as she made her way out of the classroom ... trans activists who had entered the building to object to her stance attacked her.
"I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man," she said of the scene on her Twitter page. "This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces."
Gaines shared a video of her encounter with protestors inside of the SFSU campus building ... showing her in a blue sweater being ushered to another classroom by police as people hurled chants and insults at her.
SFSU's student-run media outlet, the Golden Gate Xpress, reported Gaines was forced to stay locked inside of the classroom with police protection for roughly three hours.

Cops ultimately ordered people to disperse -- and Gaines, a former swim champ at the Univ. of Kentucky, was able to leave safely.
Gaines' agent, Eli Bremer, blasted the protestors in a statement to Fox News Digital after the event ... saying, "It is stunning that in America in 2023, it is acceptable for biological male students to violently assault a woman for standing up for women’s rights."
Police have moved into another hallway of HSS at 11:13 p.m pic.twitter.com/q2LBMgZL54
— Golden Gate Xpress (@GGXnews) April 7, 2023 @GGXnews
Bremer added, though, it would not impact Gaines' decision to speak out going forward.
Caitlyn Jenner voiced her support for Gaines after she became aware of the incident, writing in a tweet, "Pray for Riley Gaines! You are a courageous voice of reason, an incredible athlete, and beyond brave. Praying!!!"
We've reached out to both SFSU officials and the San Francisco Police Dept. for comment on the matter ... but so far, no word back yet.

XXXTentacion's killers will spend the rest of their lives behind bars, and as far as the rapper's mother is concerned ... they better sleep with one eye open, as they'll be massive targets.
Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome and Dedrick Williams each received sentences of life without parole Thursday for their roles in the 2018 robbery and shooting death of XXX.
XXX's mom, Cleopatra, tells us she believes the sentence was more than appropriate given her son was murdered at just 20 years old. She says Boatwright taunted her throughout the trial by blowing kisses. She hopes "Buttright (not a typo) will now get the kiss he wants so bad."
She also has a message for Newsome and Williams ... "My hope for these other gentlemen is they will retain a firm grasp on the slippery soap."
It's very clear, Cleopatra believes the men will be targets, and you can't blame her for her anger toward them ... especially given the circumstances surrounding the crime.
TMZ broke the story, XXX was ambushed in his vehicle in broad daylight outside of a South Florida auto shop, shooting him and stealing a Louis Vuitton bag and $50,000 in cash.
XXX's career was on a positive trajectory, and the outpouring of love and support from his fans was huge after his murder.

LSU hoops star Angel Reese has decided she will attend the White House visit with her team after all ... days after she contemplated skipping the visit because of remarks made by First Lady Jill Biden.
Remember, Reese took issue with FLOTUS saying Iowa should attend the White House, too -- a tradition usually reserved for championship winners -- calling Jill's suggestion "a joke."
"In the beginning, we were hurt -- it was emotional because we know how hard we worked all year for everything," Reese said Friday.
"You don't get that experience [to go to the White House] ever ... and I know my team probably wants to go for sure, and my coaches are supportive of that, so I'm going to do what's best for the team and we've decided we're going to go."
"I'm a team player. I'm going to do what's best for the team. I'm the captain."
LSU said Thursday they would be "excited" to celebrate the program's first NCAA women's basketball national championship, leaving many to speculate whether Reese would join them.
Angel erased any doubts on Friday ... she'll be at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. when the time comes for some face time with POTUS.
