Whatever Adrien Broner did in Las Vegas, he's in DEEP trouble with his girlfriend now ... 'cause he's sharing his most sincere apologies with TMZ Sports -- saying, "None of these bitches got nothin' on you."

We caught up with AB following Thursday's press conference for the Errol Spence and Terence Crawford fight ... and while he's hyped up for the epic showdown, there was something else eating him up inside.

"I got into it with my girl," he told us before issuing a direct mea culpa to his lady. "I wanna say Trea'Jure, I love you, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I love you."

We did some digging on the drama ... and it seems like AB might be referring to an interview he did earlier in the day, when he repeatedly asked a female reporter for her number.

Trea'Jure appeared to respond on Instagram ... saying, "Lmao [I don't care] about that damn interview! Adrien is single ok. That's what he's supposed to do tf"

"I hope he gets plenty numbers I'm rooting for him."

The whole "single" thing might be news to AB ... 'cause in his apology, he made sure Trea'Jure knew he was a faithful, one-woman man.

"None of these bitches got nothin' on you," AB said. "I'ma just be out here jackin' my d***."

A captive manatee in Florida is dead, but his demise is one whale of a tale -- basically, poor Hugh the manatee had rough sex ... with his brother, Buffett. Yes, it was death by buffett.

The deadly sex went down at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium in Sarasota, with necropsy results revealing Huge, a 38-year-old manatee, died as a result of "high-intensity" sex with Buffett.

The necropsy report from the USDA, first published by ABC7, says Hugh's fatal injury was a 14.5-centimeter rip in his colon, which was caused by a sexual encounter with his larger brother.

The USDA says the aquarium observed high-intensity sexual behavior between the adult male manatees back on April 29, which included Buffett anally penetrating the smaller Hugh.

Following their first encounter, researchers found blood in Hugh's colon, but apparently, the 2 manatees kept going at it throughout the day ... with only occasional rest periods.

Eventually, Buffett tired after one last time penetrating Hugh and swam away -- however, Hugh was unresponsive at the bottom of the pool, and died.

While the USDA says the aquarium failed to protect Hugh before his death, the facility is defending its actions.

The aquarium says sex between Hugh and Buffett was natural and they were mutually seeking interactions on the day Hugh died.

The facility says Hugh showed no obvious signs of discomfort or distress ... and veterinarians directed handlers to try to distract the manatees from sex rather than physically separate them for fear of causing stress and anxiety.

Hugh and Buffett lived together for 27 years in the same pool, and were the only manatees in the aquarium.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are counting their blessings today ... 'cause the couple says they were at the scene of a terrifying officer-involved shooting Thursday evening.

The incident went down at around 5:30 PM in a popular shopping area in Miami ... after a man had allegedly taken two people hostage inside a Victoria's Secret and threatened to stab them with a knife.

According to police, in an attempt to de-escalate the situation ... an officer opened fire on the man and struck him.

Larsa said in an Instagram post following the shooting that she was just feet away from it all ... and it was "scary AF."

"So thankful for the Miami Beach Police Department," she said, "everyone was running and screaming."

In footage from the scene that Pippen shared, you can see people were panicked ... as officers tried to clear out the area.

A spokesperson for the Miami Beach Police Dept. says the suspect was taken to the hospital following the shooting ... though he was later pronounced dead there.

Travis Scott is casting an early vote for the 2024 presidential election ... saying on his latest album he'd choose his bud Kanye West over current Prez Joe Biden.

TS took a dig at Biden on his track, "Skitzo" -- a hit from his "Utopia" album, which came out on Friday. In the song, he says, "Crazy how they love to talk s*** and got no Trident / I’m loyal, bitch, I got Ye over Biden."

As we reported, Ye's been talking quite a bit about sliding into the Oval Office next year, although he hasn't officially thrown his hat in the ring.

Worth noting Kanye's got producing or songwriting credits on a few tracks for Travis' album, and they've been close friends for a while ... so this could be just a friendly shout-out -- but it sure doesn't sound like it.

ICYMI, Kanye supporters have been selling "Ye24" merch for a while, with things like phone cases and hoodies for fans to scoop up and show their support.

The rapper's also been restructuring his presidential campaign team -- bringing his frequent collaborator Milo Yiannopoulos back on board in May as his Director of Political Operations ... giving the boot to the controversial former man in charge, Nick Fuentes.

From there, Milo started "cleaning house," according to him ... the campaign committee's treasurer resigned and Ali Alexander also got the boot around the same time.

Kanye also saw sponsors and companies drop him amid his antisemitic rants last year, so it seemed like all support for the guy was lost.

The 2023 Emmy Awards are officially on hold as the actors' and writers' strikes continue to freeze everything in Hollywood.

The Television Academy had to pump the breaks on its September 18 ceremony date, according to the New York Times -- and it could be pushed as far out as January ... a move the outlet's source said was "most likely."

The final date is reportedly going to be hammered out in the next few weeks ... and Fox, which is broadcasting the Emmys, was looking at postponing the show last month if the writers stayed on strike through July.

As you know, the writers aren't alone anymore on the picket lines -- WGA put pens down in early May, and SAG-AFTRA joined the cause on July 14 after its negotiations stalled with the studios.

Ethan Slater may be done with his marriage, but he "desperately" wants to co-parent his nearly 1-year-old child with soon-to-be ex-wife Lilly Jay ... sources connected to Ethan tell TMZ.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Ethan has been talking to Lilly daily, mostly about their little boy. We're told Ethan spent a lot of time with his son in London after he had split with Lilly, and is determined to have a major presence in the boy's life.

Our sources say Lilly told Ethan repeatedly she was down with co-parenting. Ethan, we're told, asked Lilly about issuing a joint statement saying they were committed to co-parenting their son, but Lilly wanted to defer releasing the statement, at least for now.

We're also told Lilly had assured Ethan she didn't know where various media leaks were emanating from, so he was more than surprised to read Thursday that Lilly spoke with Page Six, calling Ariana Grande "not a girl's girl," adding her family was "collateral damage."

Sources tell us Lilly told Ethan she did not understand what it meant that she was on the record when she made the comments.

It's unclear what Lilly's position is regarding co-parenting, but Ethan adamantly wants to raise his son.

TMZ broke the story ... Ethan filed for divorce on Wednesday. If they're at odds on who raises the child, ultimately a judge will decide.

Drake's Thug Life is officially complete -- the megastar rapper has emerged as the buyer of Tupac Shakur's $1 million crown ring, which now ranks as a historic moment at a Sotheby's auction!!!

On Friday, Drake showed off his latest prized possession via IG ... and promoted Travis Scott's album "Utopia" which dropped at midnight, as he's featured on the song "Meltdown" where he reignites his beef with Pusha T!!!

Earlier in the week, Sotheby's announced they had sold the Tupac ring in New York City for $1,016,000 ... blasting through the initial estimates of $200k-$300k and making it the “most valuable hip-hop artifact ever sold at auction.” The ring's the only piece purchased for over $1 million.

The glitzy 14k ring sports an amalgam of gold, ruby and diamond jewels and will make a nice addition to Drake's jewelry collection. BTW, on "Meltdown" he raps about permanently altering chains he bought from Pharrell!!!

Tupac was Drake's #1 artist for his Spotify streams last year, so his flex is true to his fandom.

Dennis "D.J." Hernandez -- the older brother of Aaron Hernandez -- repeatedly asked cops to shoot him before he was arrested earlier this month ... new police video shows.

In the footage -- which was captured on Bristol Police Department body cameras on July 19 -- you can see D.J. left a residence with his arms in the air ... and urged cops who had surrounded him to fire on him.

More than four times, he told them "shoot me" ... and at one point, as he continued to walk toward the officers with what appeared to be a water bottle in one of his hands, he shouted, "I'm not armed, but shoot me."

Cops ultimately did not shoot D.J. ... though they did tase the 37-year-old former Division I football player.

As he was on the ground, D.J. told cops who were putting him in handcuffs, "No one listens. I don't do this s***" ... before he added, "I need your help."

Cops then assured them they were there to provide him that assistance ... before they took him away from the scene.

According to police documents, cops had initially come to D.J.'s residence after several people had told them he had been acting erratically and sending threatening messages. Cops also said they were told those close to D.J. had feared he had been planning school shootings at UConn and Brown Univ.

D.J. was ultimately booked on charges of threatening and breach of peace following his arrest ... and he's currently still in jail, being held on a $250,000 bond.

Todd Chrisley believes he's being treated differently from the rest of his fellow inmates in federal prison ... and he thinks his fame has everything to do with it.

Chrisley's attorney, Jay Surgent, tells TMZ ... Todd believes his celebrity status has resulted in some odd occurrences while locked up at FPC Pensacola in Florida -- even telling us Todd thinks someone took his photo while he was sleeping.

He also claims he hasn't been receiving any mail and thinks it's getting destroyed ... though, he has no clue what the motive would be for someone doing that.

Jay tells us Todd's living conditions are terrible, too, claiming the place is plagued by bad plumbing, possible mold, and no A.C. to help combat the brutal heat. He also claims his wife Julie's struggling with similarly bad conditions over at FMC Lexington, KY, where she's doing her time.

For what it's worth, a rep for the Bureau of Prisons tells us the safety of inmates is a top priority, and both prisons have "contingency plans to address a large range of concerns ... including ventilation temperatures."

Regardless, Jay says Todd submitted an application to try to get switched over to home confinement. Worth a shot, but that seems unlikely, considering the fact the Chrisleys are doing hard time.

TMZ broke the story, Todd and Julie reported to their prisons in January -- Todd got a 12-year sentence, while Julie got 7 ... after the couple was convicted in their bank fraud and tax evasion case.

We're told the plan moving forward is to explore all legal avenues to address the prison conditions.

Travis Scott is treating Kylie Jenner's new boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, like an oompa loompa on his new album "Utopia" ... and wants his bm to know she'll never find another beau more lit than him!!!

On the appropriately titled track, "Meltdown," Travis blows his tops going at Timothée while dissing his upcoming role as the King of Candy with the lyrics, "Chocolate AP and chocolate the Vs got the/ Willy Wonka factory (Vs)/ Burn an athlete like it's calories find another flame hot as me, bitch!!!"

In case you're not following Travis' hot lines, an AP is short for Audemars Piguet, one of the watches rappers favor these days that cost just as much as a moderately sized mansion ... while Timothée is set to play Willy Wonka in the fable's latest reboot ... a move too corny for his taste.

Confirmation that Kylie was getting cozy inside Timothée's chocolate factory began to surface in April, when her car was spotted at his house, and again during a mid-day taco run.

Kylie and Travis entered the summer in a fluid co-parenting situation, with zero expectations of getting back together ... but Travis is clearly upset Kylie moved on with the Golden Ticket guy!!!

Travis dropped his long-awaited "Utopia" album on Friday and all signs point to it being a huge success, with several fans complaining of outages on streaming services as everyone rushed to listen.

Well, everyone 'cept for Timothée most likely.

Drake used the bulk of his mic time on Travis Scott’s new "Utopia" album to fire shots at both Pusha T and Pharrell … and he was definitely aiming for their heads!!!

On the track "Meltdown" (the same song where Travis jabs at Kylie Jenner's new dude Timotheé Chalamet), Drake digs into Pharrell, claiming to have bought his coveted N.E.R.D. jewelry just to alter it.

If you recall, Drake flexed Pharrell's rare stones in his "Jumbotron Shit Poppin" video -- but Jim Jones has since been accused of doing the dirty work for Drake in his beef against Pusha. Now the OVO rapper says he can fight his own battles!!!

Drake also ruthlessly dissed Pharrell's new gig at Louis Vuitton ... declaring LV to be a faded brand now that Virgil Abloh is dead.

As for Pusha, Drake says there's no reason for him and his camp to duck the fade as his "It's All a Blur" tour schedule is easy to Google.

Drake also claims he would’ve pulled up on Pusha during his runway stroll amid Paris Fashion Week if it wasn’t for Vogue magazine's pesky $4M lawsuit against him. 👀

The fact Bronny James is home recovering tonight has everything to do with the absolute urgency with which someone called for help when he suffered a cardiac arrest, and the 911 call reveals the gravity of the moment.

TMZ Sports obtained the call, made by someone at USC's Galen Center at 9:26 AM Monday ... and the caller got right to the point by saying, "Get an ambulance here now!"

As we first reported, LeBron James' son was in the middle of a basketball workout at the arena when he collapsed ... and it's clear the caller understood time was of the essence. After he demanded an ambulance, the 911 operator asks if there's a doctor or registered nurse on the scene to aid with CPR, and the caller says no.

The operator reassured the caller that paramedics were already on the way. We know 18-year-old Bronny was unconscious when the call went out for help.

However, doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was taken, have said he was alert by the time he reached the hospital -- a credit to the paramedics who worked on him at the Galen Center and in the ambulance.

On Thursday, doctors discharged Bronny from the hospital, and, according to LeBron ... his son is doing well, although doctors are still trying to determine what triggered the cardiac arrest.

One thing we all learned in the wake of Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin's on-field cardiac arrest ... time makes all the difference in these types of crises, and it seems everyone around Bronny understood that mission when he went down.

Beyoncé is giving her fans another reason to rejoice -- she's made her way onto Travis Scott's latest album, and to the surprise of just about everyone!

Bey lends her mountains of talent to Travis' track, "Delresto (Echoes)" ... the 9th song on his much-anticipated album, "Utopia," which dropped on Friday.

It's a solid track, with a distinct synth vibe -- similar to Beyoncé's recent "Renaissance" album, which dropped last year. Bon Iver's Justin Vernon also jumps on the song.

Bey and Justin aren't the only ones bringing star power to the album -- Drake, Young Thug, and SZA are just a few of the big names that collabed with Travis to bring "Utopia" to life.

As we reported, TS was partying with Drake and French Montana Wednesday night after Drake's show at The Garden ... and we're sure the album drop just around the bend was on Travis' mind.

Of course, he had a big show for the album that was set to go down in Egypt at the Pyramids of Giza on Friday -- Live Nation said the plug was pulled just a couple of days before, saying, "Complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert."

The world of "Barbie" is mourning the death of Bill Cunningham, the original voice of the famous Ken doll in the 1960s.

Cunningham died at his L.A. home on July 15, but news of his passing first surfaced Thursday in a report published by Deadline. His cause of death was not disclosed.

CESD Talent Agency, which Cunningham co-founded, issued a statement praising Bill as being "among the great innovators and gentlemen of the talent representation business."

The company also noted Bill's major contributions in his chosen field and described him as a "gregarious, classy man who made a positive impact on all those he represented and employed."

Bill began doing voice-overs after he returned from military service in World War II. He got his first big break on NBC’s "Voices of Walter Schumann" and "The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show." He also sang on soundtracks for Hollywood movies produced by Fox, Paramount and Warner Bros.

His career skyrocketed in 1961 when he was tapped to be the voice of Barbie's boyfriend, Ken, after the Mattel toy company created the iconic dolls.

Bill was 96.

Jeremy Allen White isn't letting his divorce from Addison Timlin cause him a lack of appetite ... because he was photographed chowing down with a couple buddies.

"The Bear" and "Shameless" star seemed to be having a good ol' time with his boys Thursday as they strolled up to All Time restaurant in L.A., where they grabbed some grub.

Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, which show Jeremy looking ripped in a tank top while casually chatting with his friends.

TMZ broke the story ... Addison filed for divorce in May after more than 3 years of marriage. The situation is complicated because the now estranged couple share two young daughters -- Ezer, 4, and Dolores, 2.

Randy Meisner, one of the original members of the Eagles, is dead.

The legendary band's former bassist and singer died Wednesday in Los Angeles as a result of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a statement issued Thursday by the Eagles.

Randy was the OG bass player for the Eagles, and he's famous for co-writing and singing their famous ballad, "Take It To The Limit."

Along with Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Bernie Leadon ... Randy contributed to the band's biggest albums, including "Hotel California" and "Desperado," as well as "Eagles," "On The Border" and "One of These Night."

Randy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame way back in 1998 with the rest of the Eagles.

The band is remembering him as "an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band" ... and they say his vocal range was "astonishing."

Randy was born in Nebraska but spent a lot of time in L.A., where he got started in music.

The last time we got Randy on camera was back in April 2015, when he set the record straight on allegations his wife was keeping him in a constant drunken state ... and he also recounted the infamous 1977 backstage brawl with Frey, which lead to Randy quitting the group.

Before forming the Eagles in 1971, Randy played bass for the band Poco ... and was also the bassist for Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band.

He was 77.
