Mets star Edwin Diaz won't be on a mound this season, but that doesn't mean he won't still be looking fly -- TMZ Sports has learned he's just copped a sweet new necklace ... that's worth a quarter of a million dollars!!

The closer -- who's currently on New York's injured list after tearing up his knee during the World Baseball Classic back in March -- hit up Victor Rodriguez, aka Tajia Diamonds, for the piece recently ... and the jeweler just finished the product this week.

And, check out the images ... it came out awesome!!

DIAMOND DIAZ
Victor Rodriguez

The pendant features a trumpet -- a nod to Diaz's famous "Narco" walkout song -- as well as his jersey number 39 ... and it's completely iced out.

Rodriguez tells us it has 75 cts of VS diamonds and F color stones.

As for the chain it sits on ... Rodriguez says that's decked out too -- with 100 cts of VS diamonds.

The pitcher also got a custom bracelet to go along with the drip for his neck ... and it's got his No. 39 all over it.

In total, we're told the bill came out to $250K ... but don't worry, Diaz can certainly afford it -- he just inked a five-year, $102 million contract this past offseason.

Speedy recovery, Edwin -- can't wait to see that right arm and chain back in a dugout soon!!!

Guess Who These Cool Bros Turned Into!

Before these two kids chilling in Wyckoff, New Jersey were front and center on the stage, they were just hanging around town with their other brothers, and from a young age ... they were hustling and jump-starting their careers in showbiz.

Yes, these guys have millions of fans who come and watch them perform on stage, but they never seem to get "jealous" of each other. And, even though their comical Disney days are no longer ... they still possess their goofy personalities on social media!

Need one more hint? "I'm A Sucker For You!"

Can you guess who these cool bros are?

Ariana Madix I've Got Bigger Fish to Fry Than Raquel ... How The Hell Do I Charge My Car???

RAQUEL, WHO?
BACKGRID

Ariana Madix is putting Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval on the back burner because she's got more pressing issues ... like figuring out how to juice up her electric car.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star was out Tuesday in Los Angeles when she ran into some car trouble ... namely, how to get the dang ride to charge.

Ariana was parked at an electric car charging station as she was peppered with the usual "Scandoval" questions from paparazzi ... and the most notable thing to come out of the interview was her having no clue how to charge her ride.

It looks like Ariana was scrolling the internet on her phone for answers ... and she brushed off questions about Raquel because her mind was on the task at hand.

Ariana seems to have gotten one of the first steps down ... she's got the car plugged into the charging point ... but apparently, it wasn't working.

She says she's not a millionaire either despite a bunch of recent brand deals that have come her way courtesy of the Scandoval exposure ... but it sounds like she needs the help of a billionaire here.

Paging Elon Musk!!!

Tyreek Hill Under Police Investigation ... Over Alleged Assault/Battery In Miami

Tyreek Hill is under police investigation, TMZ Sports has confirmed ... after the NFL star was accused of getting physical with somebody in Miami on Sunday.

Cops confirmed the probe to us on Tuesday ... though they did not disclose further details of the case, only saying they were investigating an alleged assault/battery involving the Dolphins player.

According to Local 10 News, however, the alleged incident happened at Haulover Marina after Hill got into a dispute with an employee of a charter company at the popular South Florida boating spot.

The outlet reported Tuesday the 29-year-old receiver was accused of putting his hands on the employee at some point during the altercation.

Hill has been seen on social media on boats multiple times this week ... on Father's Day, he shared a snap of him while out on the water on his IG story -- and on Tuesday, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, showed the two were at sea fishing near a shark.

But, neither Hill nor Rosenhaus have publicly commented on the police probe.

Hill has been the subject of police investigations before -- most notably, back in 2019, he was named in a child abuse report ... though he was never charged with a crime in that case.

Hill has become arguably the best wideout in the NFL ... last season -- his first with Miami -- he tallied 1,710 receiving yards and seven receiving TDs.

Bebe Rexha Phone-Throwing Fan Sorry for Actions ... Just Wanted Her to Take Pic

Bebe Rexha's alleged attacker wasn't trying to hurt her with his phone throw -- but rather, just attempting to get her to use his phone personally for some snapshot fun ... so says his attorney.

Todd A Spodek, a lawyer for Nicolas Malvagna, tells TMZ ... "As a fan, Mr. Malvagna's sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa."

Spodek says Nicolas deeply regrets his actions Sunday night ... and hopes Bebe has a speedy recovery.

Of course, this new explanation seems to contradict what the Manhattan D.A.'s Office claims a witness told them Malvagna said after the incident, allegedly claiming he just wanted to see if he could hit her, thinking it'd be funny.

We should note ... in the video, there's no indication whatsoever that Bebe was even aware of Nicolas in the crowd -- let alone his supposed desire to have her use his phone.

As we reported, BR was in the middle of performing when the phone was flung at her from the crowd, striking her in the face and sending her to the ground in serious pain.

The incident caused Bebe to get stitches and some nasty bruises. While she says she's okay, the big picture, the phone throw clearly left its mark. As for Malvagna -- he was arrested and charged for his dumb stunt.

Missing Titanic Submarine Navy Sending Deep Ocean Lifting System ... As Rescue Time Dwindles

The U.S. Navy is getting ahead of the game in the search for the Titanic sub that's gone missing ... sending a deep ocean lifting system in the hopes the vessel is found and can be retrieved.

According to a Navy spokesperson, the maritime force is deploying the Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System -- along with experts in the field -- to hopefully find OceanGate Expeditions' lost Titan vessel and strategize how to bring it to the surface.

The Navy's machinery is a lift system that's designed to provide "reliable deep ocean lifting capacity for the recovery of large, bulky, and heavy undersea objects such as aircraft or small vessels."

The Navy adds the experts and system should arrive in the area as soon as Tuesday night.

As you know, the Titan lost communication with the support crew a couple of hours into its expedition over the weekend ... with the Coast Guard launching a search and rescue for the vessel and the 5 passengers onboard.

The sub's been running out of emergency oxygen, with about 40 hours left as of Tuesday afternoon. Former Coast Guard Captain Andrew Norris joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday, telling us why those onboard won't just need one miracle to get home safely ... they'll need a boatload of them.

Armie Hammer Settles Divorce with Elizabeth Chambers

Armie Hammer has settled his divorce with his estranged wife, just under 3 years after she first filed for divorce.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Armie and Elizabeth Chambers reached an agreement regarding their property and any child and spousal support issues between them.

The details aren't clear yet, but the agreement is typically presented to the judge, who then, routinely, signs off on it.

TMZ broke the story, Elizabeth filed the divorce petition back in 2020, with Armie filing his answer at around the same time.

In the OG docs, Elizabeth cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and was seeking primary physical custody of their 2 kids -- 8-year-old Harper Grace and 6-year-old Ford. Armie was asking for joint legal and physical custody of the kids.

Of course, the initial filing came before the actor faced allegations of sexual abuse. Although, LAPD investigated one woman's claims for more than a year, the L.A. County D.A.'s Office recently declined to pursue charges against Armie ... saying it could not prove anything non-consensual had happened between the accuser and him.

Queen Camilla to Meghan Markle Hi Dear, Sorry to Hear About Dior!!! Wears Brand After 'No Deal' News

Queen Camilla might be shading Meghan Markle ... after word a potential Dior deal isn't happening for the Duchess, HRH just so happens to be proudly wearing that very brand. 🤔

The Queen was out and about Tuesday in Berkshire, England with King Charles for the opening of the Royal Ascot (a famed British horse race) ... which went down with a full-blown Royal procession -- complete with carriages and fancy outfits galore.

The King was suited and booted in a top hat, but all eyes were on wifey and her resplendent white coat, because it's a custom Dior design!

The timing's interesting ... coming one day after rumors were swirling that Meghan was on the verge of signing a mega-deal to become a new face of the design house.

However, on Tuesday, Dior distanced themselves from that report ... saying there was no truth to it. Meghan and her team, likewise, also stamped it out -- although it's unclear who denied it first.

Look, we have no idea if Queen Camilla's wardrobe choice was intentional, but you can't overlook the timing.

We did some digging, and Camilla isn't known as a regular Dior consumer -- meaning, she doesn't tend to wear it all that often. Sooo ... subtle jab?

As you know, Meghan's relationship with the Royals has been rocky since she and Prince Harry left the institution and came to the U.S. ... eventually trashing Harry's fam over and over again.

One last thing ... we've spoken to some Dior sources on the ground, and they tell us what Camilla was sporting Tuesday is actually a custom suit, and won't be available to commoners, just in case you got it like that.

No word on when Camilla had it commissioned, but ya gotta figure she follows news on Meghan and Harry. Talk about scalding tea, huh???

Boosie Badazz Granted $50K Bond in Federal Gun Case

Boosie Badazz should be headed home shortly ... the judge set his bond at $50,000 in the federal gun case that got him nabbed by ATF agents in San Diego.

According to Boosie's lawyers, Meghan Blanco and Damon Alimouri ... the bond was set Tuesday during a hearing, but it was unclear if/when Boosie would be released from custody.

We're told prosecutors wanted to keep Boosie in custody until trial, but the judge ended up denying that request and setting the bond amount.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... the feds popped Boosie last week after they say the firearm found in his vehicle back in May, matched the one seen in his waistband on Instagram Live.

Boosie had been in San Diego filming a music video at the time, but as a convicted felon ... he's not supposed to have firearms, and that's the charge he's now facing.

Zion Williamson Alleged Fling Suspended From Twitter ... After Sex Tape Threat

Zion Williamson can breathe a sigh of relief for now -- his alleged former fling just had her Twitter account suspended after threatening to release a sex tape involving the NBA star.

As we previously reported, an adult model named Moriah Mills has gone scorched earth on the New Orleans Pelicans forward ever since he revealed he was having a baby with his girlfriend earlier this month ... claiming she, too, was in an intimate relationship with him at the same time -- and she was blindsided by the news.

Moriah aired out her frustrations with the 22-year-old on social media ... spilling tea about alleged wire transfers and moving plans ... as well as some other REALLY X-rated claims.

The whole Twitter spat lasted two weeks before Elon Musk's company pulled the plug on Tuesday ... with her page that sports more than a million followers getting scrubbed from the platform.

Moriah previously claimed Zion was begging her to stop posting ... which she didn't until she literally could not anymore.

Zion has yet to address the whole ordeal himself ... but his stepdad spoke out in support of the hooper during a community event, saying, "Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear."

Latto Forget More Plastic Surgery ... I Hired a Trainer!!!

Latto says she felt tempted to go under the knife again for another round of plastic surgery ... but convinced herself to strip weight the old-fashioned way and hire a personal trainer.

The "Put It On Da Floor" lyricist recently sat for a new interview with "Cosmopolitan" for their "Skin Issue" ... admitting her confidence in herself ultimately made her believe she could see results in the gym without going under the knife.

Latto says in the past, she got both a BBL and 360 liposuction -- which covers her entire torso -- but explained how surgery isn't a magic solution, people still have to take care of their bodies.

She says the decision to exercise with a trainer allows her to balance her workouts but still hold true to her schedule.

Much speculation around the safety of the surgeries has been sparked following the death of former "Wild 'N Out" star Jacky Oh! after it was reported she underwent an operation in Miami.

Medical safety isn't the only category in which Latto keeps her guard up ... she discussed her airport incident of 2021 where she was busted carrying a loaded firearm. TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Latto was detained at LAX and had to complete a 12-month diversion program to scrub her record.

She explained security guards can't always accompany travel along -- and her pretty face isn't going to protect itself.

Babyface I Had No Problem Playing 2nd Fiddle to Anita Baker!!!

The Jason Lee Show/Revolt TV

Babyface is speaking out about the alleged bad blood between Anita Baker and him which led to him getting canned as a supporting act on her Songstress Tour!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained the first clip of the R&B maestro's upcoming appearance on "The Jason Lee Show" where he addresses his newfound free time head-on.

Babyface clarified to JL that the tour belonged to Anita, as it celebrated the 40th anniversary of her debut album -- but he did suggest one of his last nights on the tour was far more "complex" than his fans know.

He was referring to the Newark show where technical difficulties drastically shortened the show, meaning only one of the legacy artists could perform -- and, as we reported, that was the headliner ... Ms. Baker.

Anita pulled the plug last week on Babyface's role as her opener ... after what she called cyberbullying from fans upset with his limited stage time. She also accused him of going over his scheduled stage time.

Babyface says he had no issues opening for Anita and enjoyed watching her perform after him.

He'll surely have more to say when the full 'Jason Lee Show' episode drops later today on REVOLT but his unbothered nature won't do anything to appease his angry fans ... who continue painting Anita as the villain in this drama.

Titanic Rescue Brit. Billionaire Passenger's Stepson ... Attends Blink-182 Show During Rescue Mission

The clock's ticking for rescuers to find the 5 people missing on a sub aimed at exploring the Titanic wreckage ... but that's not stopping the stepson of one of the passengers from enjoying his favorite band, Blink-182.

British billionaire explorer, Hamish Harding, is among those onboard OceanGate Expeditions' Titan, a carbon-fiber submersible. Harding's stepson, Brian Szasz, posted about Harding's disappearance on Facebook Monday ... writing, "Hamish my stepdad is lost in a submarine thoughts and prayers that the rescue mission will be successful."

Just a few minutes after posting about the rescue mission, Brian revealed he was attending a Blink-182 show in San Diego, posting a pic of himself outside the venue.

Clearly recognizing some people might take it the wrong way, Brian writes, "It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the Blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times!♥️🙏🏽"

As we reported, OceanGate lost communication with Titan almost 2 hours into its journey down to the wreckage. The submersible has a 96-hour emergency supply of oxygen onboard -- which has likely dwindled to about 40 hours remaining.

It's not yet known where the Titan is, or whether the 5 on board are even alive.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

SHARK WRASTLIN'

Drew Rosenhaus went from being a proverbial shark on Tuesday ... to wrestling an actual one -- and the wild scene was all captured on video!!!

The NFL super agent's chaotic meeting with the sea beast happened just minutes ago while he was out fishing with his client, Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill.

You can see in footage that Rosenhaus just posted to his Twitter page ... as he was out in the ocean snorkeling, a shark pulled up to the boat -- but instead of swimming away in fear, he went toward it!!

People on the ship urged Drew to think twice ... but the man who's helped negotiate over $7 BILLION in NFL contracts put his hands on the shark nonetheless, and then pulled it toward him!

Rosenhaus could be seen in the footage then urging people on the boat to then take a picture.

One of the best parts of the clip? One of the fisherman asked Hill if he wanted to join in on the water party with Drew ... and Tyreek's answer was priceless.

"Hell nah!" the wide receiver exclaimed.

Seems Rosenhaus was able to make it back in the boat with all of his limbs intact ... and, yeah, that sound you just heard was a big sigh of relief from all of his clients who are hoping he can help make them some serious bank this season.

Jonathan Majors is heading for trial in his assault case, and his new girlfriend Meagan Good is firmly in his corner as he faces the judge for the first time.

The actor made his first court appearance Tuesday, strolling into a Manhattan courtroom while holding hands with Meagan.

They both wore sunglasses as they ducked into court, and after his hearing was over they left together.

Jonathan heard it straight from the judge ... his trial date is now set for Aug. 3, and if he doesn't show up in person, a warrant could be issued for his arrest.

As we reported, NYPD arrested Jonathan back in March for misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment after allegedly slapping his ex-girlfriend in the back of a taxi.

TMZSports.com

Wyndham Clark wasted no time celebrating his U.S. Open victory on Sunday ... TMZ Sports has learned he hit up an L.A. hot spot just hours after securing the big win -- and while he was there, he chugged booze right out of his new trophy!!

The scene at Delilah was awesome ... the 29-year-old got up on a platform in between some tables at the West Hollywood lounge -- and after one of the guys he was with threw some alcohol in his new prize, Clark went to town!!

You can see in video we obtained, he slurped down the drink ... before he fired up the small crowd that had gathered near him with a series of fist pumps.

Eventually, Clark went back to his trophy for more booze too!!

Witnesses tell us ... everyone inside the joint was going crazy for the golfing star -- who kept the bash going into the wee hours of Monday morning.

Of course, Clark had every right to party his face off ... he fended off Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler to take home his first-ever major at the tough Los Angeles Country Club course.

No word yet on how the hangover went on Monday ... but something tells us the W -- and the $3.6 MILLION check that came with it -- sure made the headache go away quickly.
