Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was arrested for illegal possession of an assault rifle this weekend in L.A. ... after cops were called to the scene by a concerned fan who believed the boxer may be a danger to himself or others.

TMZ Sports has learned the 37-year-old former champ, son of the legendary Mexican pugilist Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., was taken into custody by LAPD around 1:30 PM ... after Jr. permitted responding officers to enter his home, where they located the illegal rifle.

Law enforcement sources tell us the weapon was an untraceable "ghost gun."

Chavez Jr. was ultimately transported to the Valley Jail in Van Nuys ... where the 6'1", 170 lb. fighter was booked.

It's not the first time people around Julio have feared for his safety. In fact, Chavez Sr. recently opened up about fears his son could lose his life if he continues down the same path.

Speaking of his God-like figure of a dad, although Julio didn't come close to the astronomical success his dad achieved in the squared circle, Jr. finished his boxing career with a 53-6-1 record ... fighting the likes of Daniel Jacobs and Canelo Alvarez.

Barry Keoghan's bared it all with his butt-ass naked scene in 'Saltburn' -- and he ain't mad about all the attention his work/bod is getting!!!

He spoke to TMZ after Sunday's Golden Globes, saying he loved all the nudity and no part of him is embarrassed over stripping down for cameras.

The disrobed dance was to the tune of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 2001 song "Murder on the Dancefloor" -- which is making a killer comeback due to the movie -- but Barry says he wasn't able to listen to it properly ... as he was focused on dancing in the nude.

Barry wasn't wearing a prosthetic penis during the scene ... a fact that left fans shocked as he gushed over embracing his "ownership" and "full confidence" of being in the buff.

Bradley Cooper doesn't have a shiny new Golden Globe award, but that didn't dampen his Sunday night as he got in some QT with his rumored GF, Gigi Hadid, and his mom Gloria.

The matching trio -- all head-to-toe in black -- headed to a private dinner at L.A's Giorgio Baldi around 9:20 PM after the award show. They left the restaurant separately ... Gigi headed out around 11:30 PM, and was sporting a sentimental 'Kai' necklace for the daughter she shares with her ex, Zayn Malik.

GH was giddy and smiling, perhaps a sign she and B's mother hit it off. Gloria and her dapper son made their exit shortly after Gigi.

While Bradley and Gigi haven't confirmed their romantic relationship... we've seen them together on a bunch of cozy sightings in NYC since October.

Gary Owen was one of the select few comedians Katt Williams spared in his wild "Club Shay Shay" interview, and turns out Gary has some explosive stories of his own to share.

Katt likened GO’s lack of crossover success to NOT joining the Illuminati -- unlike Ludacris, who Katt accused of joining the secret society -- prompting Gary to recall the time he attempted to breach mainstream audiences on Steve Harvey's TV show.

Gary says he was under the impression he and Steve were going to partner up, but instead found himself hidden backstage doing voiceovers for his show … the same show Katt clowned Steve for eventually losing to Kelly Clarkson.

Gary said working with Steve was hurting his pockets due to his standup schedule being pinched, and says the final straw came when he scored a gig as one of the celebs on the Deray Davis hosted "Hip Hop Squares."

Gary says he made 4 times more cash doing 3 episodes of 'Squares' than he did doing 2 weeks at SH's operation!!!

Katt also claimed Rickey Smiley was a prick to him while they were filming "Friday After Next" -- a trait GO says he remembers Rickey possessing back in the day.

Billie Eilish had no filter after running into a Sports Illustrated model at the Golden Globes ... bluntly telling her "You look hot as balls" during their hilarious interaction.

Former NFL lineman Matt Kalil's stunning ex-wife, Haley, was doing social media content for the annual awards show on Sunday ... and at one point in the night, she ran into the superstar singer.

"Billie, can I just say I am literally obsessed with you," the influencer said in a video of their convo.

Eilish -- who won Best Original Song for Barbie's "What Was I Made For?" -- was thrilled with the praise ... and fired back with some of her own.

"Thanks, babe," Billie said. "You look hot as balls."

Kalil -- who was married to Matt from 2015-2022 -- returned the compliment ... replying, "YOU look hot as balls."

Billie recently opened up on her appreciation for women in an interview with Variety ... explaining, "I'm physically attracted to them, but I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence."

It didn't seem like that was the case with Haley ... 'cause she had no problem letting her feelings known.

Elizabeth Gillies' husband filed a restraining order against their neighbor ... this after they claim he strolled into their home, following a rough and long history of next-door headbutts.

Per court docs, obtained by TMZ, the ex-"Victorious" star's hubby -- music producer Michael Corcoran -- is asking a judge to grant him and EG a TRO against their Toluca Lake, CA neighbor, who they say lives within earshot... claiming the man walked into their home on multiple occasions, including as recently as the beginning of this year.

The paperwork says Elizabeth, Michael, and a couple of friends spent New Year's Day at the house, which they usually rent out, when the neighbor strolled in 2 times -- and also allegedly tried unlocking the front door 2 days later.

Michael says he has a long-standing issue with the neighbor, calling him a "violent, disturbed, intrusive, and threatening individual" ... and believing he "harassed and spied" his last tenant so much, they had to move out.

He also believes he's been losing out on rental income, thanks to the neighbor ... because he has to warn potential renters about the nuisance next door before moving in.

He claims the neighbor's done wild things over the years -- like shouting out front at 1 AM about hiring an investigator to follow his tenants, pounding on the front door, and calling the cops multiple times ... and one instance led to police pulling up with guns drawn.

Michael claims the neighbor called police on his tenants on Thanksgiving 2022, claiming they were "killing babies" in the backyard ... which prompted cops to arrive, frisk one of the men inside, and search the whole property -- finding nothing.

The docs say cops have already told Michael and Elizabeth's neighbor to leave the tenants alone, but it appears to be falling on deaf ears ... which is why he's asking for a restraining order that protects both of them.

Taylor Swift is waking up in an odd place ... for the first time in a long time, she did NOT win something, and there's evidence the Golden Globes loss -- and getting called out by host Jo Koy -- didn't sit well with her.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed Taylor was nowhere to be seen in the crowd at the Beverly Hilton Sunday night after her "Eras Tour" film lost the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category to "Barbie."

Folks started chiming in online, with one saying, "90% sure taylor has left the event she hasn’t been seen since barbie" ... another added, "Shes so funny."

For what it's worth, Taylor was spotted giving the "Barbie" cast and crew a standing ovation as they went up to grab their award, so her leaving might not have been out of spite -- at least, not toward them.

Now, a source at the award show tells us Taylor left her seat shortly after the Cinematic Achievement category to go to the restroom, and ended up watching the rest of the show from the back. We're told she did leave the venue altogether about 15 minutes before the Globes ended.

As we reported, there was one other thing that could've upset Taylor -- she was the butt of a joke earlier in the night as Jo Koy poked fun at how the NFL has more camera shots of Taylor compared to the Globes.

She seemed visibly annoyed by the remark -- so, maybe that's when she decided she'd dip out once her category was announced.

There was a big "Suits" reunion at the Golden Globes this weekend -- but Meghan Markle was nowhere to be found ... and not just that, but she's MIA on their cells too.

Here's the deal ... Patrick Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres all came together onstage Sunday during the broadcast while presenting an award for a TV show -- and at first, it was just PA and GM up there joking about the series getting their due.

Of course, "Suits" has had a huge resurgence lately now that it's streaming .. so the joke went over well and got a big laugh. Eventually, the ladies came out as surprise guests.

It made for a cool moment for fans of the show -- but, frankly, Meg's absence was absolutely felt and many were bummed she skipped out -- y'know, seeing how she was a huge character before meeting/marrying Prince Harry, and stepping away from Hollywood.

You could argue Meg might've been busy and that her no-show wasn't necessarily reflective of her current relationship with her former cast members -- however, another revealing nugget about the current state of things for "Suits" surfaced even before the show started.

Gina was doing an interview with Variety beforehand, and she got asked if she and her "Suits" costars talk very much. As it turns out, they have a group chat ... but MM ain't on it.

As GT says here ... they simply don't have her number anymore -- and didn't elaborate.

Again, this in and of itself isn't a smoking gun of a fractured relationship, per se, but it is interesting for sure. By all accounts, it sounds like Meg is kinda in her own world now.

Thing is ... since she and Harry are trying to build their own fortune/pave their own path post-Royal split, ya gotta wonder if she's seriously considering a comeback in showbiz as a way to make ends meet. If she is, this would've been a great opportunity to dip her toe back in.

Unfortunately, she didn't take it ... so it remains to be seen if Meg's gonna really act again.

We'll say this ... she's got a big fan base from "Suits," and they'd love to see her back in the lawyers' office if she was inclined. There's been talk of a possible reboot -- and that door hasn't been more wide open than it is right now.

A fan at the Anaheim Ducks game on Friday night appeared to be knocked completely unconscious during a wild brawl ... and now, cops say they've launched an investigation into the matter.

The fight broke out as the Ducks took on the Winnipeg Jets at the Honda Center ... when a group of fans who were reppin' opposite teams got into it with each other right in the middle of a concourse.

You can see in video from the scene ... a man in a Jacob Trouba Jets jersey broke off from the squabble and began tussling with a guy in purple Ducks jersey.

During their ensuing wrestling match, the Winnipeg fan slammed the Anaheim supporter to the tile floor using a leg takedown maneuver ... appearing to leave the man KO'ed.

The guy lay motionless for several moments ... before he rolled over in what seemed to be a heap of pain.

The Anaheim Police Dept. said in a statement to TMZ Sports officers were dispatched to the area after the tilt had gone down ... and one person was transported to the hospital with a head injury.

"The investigation is ongoing," a spokesperson for the department said, "and no arrests have been made."

An iPhone's been found from the Alaska Airlines flight forced to make an emergency landing when a hole blew open in the fuselage ... and amazingly, the device was not damaged.

The device was found along a roadside in Oregon, according to game designer Sean Bates -- who posted on X about his shocking discovery, saying it had no scratches on it, and worked just fine.

He says the phone was still in airplane mode, and it unlocked without a passcode. Most telling, he says it opened to a baggage and flight confirmation for flight 1282 ... the flight that was forced to make an emergency return to Portland airport after the door blew off mid-flight on Friday.

In a follow-up video, Sean said he was skeptical when he stumbled upon the phone, which still had a piece of a charger wedged into it ... but called over a member of the National Transportation Safety Board search team when he realized what he had in his hands.

The plug used on the exit door has also been found, according to NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy -- who said it was found in a schoolteacher's backyard in Portland after Friday's ordeal in the skies.

As we reported, a wild video from inside the plane showed the insanity folks had to face while on board -- with strong gusts of wind filling the cabin while the Alaska Airlines pilots had to fly back to Portland to land.

While the plane -- which was heading to Ontario, CA -- luckily landed with no injuries, there have been reports that pilots had filed reports about warning lights about the plane in the days leading up to Friday's incident ... which indicated a loss of cabin pressure.

The Boeing 737 MAX 9 was restricted from taking long-distance flights over the water as a result, and Homendy told CNN she was aware there were issues with the aircraft before the ordeal went down.

Nike just released a statement on the breakup ... thanking Tiger Woods for all his years as a partner.

"Tiger," the Swoosh wrote in an Instagram post, "you challenged your competition, stereotypes, conventions, the old school way of thinking. You challenged the entire institution of golf. You challenged us. And most of all, yourself. And for that challenge we’re grateful."

Tiger Woods' historic partnership with Nike is no more ... the golfing legend just revealed he's split with the Swoosh after 27 years.

The 48-year-old made the announcement on his X page just minutes ago, thanking Phil Knight ... while reminiscing on the "amazing moments and memories" he's had with the athletic apparel giant.

"If I started naming them," he said of his most memorable times with the brand, "I could go on forever."

Woods first inked a deal with Nike back when he was still an amateur golfer ... and he went on to become synonymous with the brand -- wearing swooshes on his gear for every one of his major tournament wins.

However, Woods dropped breadcrumbs recently that a breakup could be coming ... most notably when he was seen wearing FootJoys at the 2022 Masters -- a year after he seriously injured his leg in a car crash.

Woods also wouldn't confirm his future with Nike when reporters asked him about it at the PNC Championship last month ... saying only, "I'm still wearing their product."

Unclear where Woods will go next when it comes to brand partnerships ... he said only in his statement Monday morning, "People will ask if there is another chapter. Yes, there will certainly be another chapter."

"See you in LA!"

Selena Gomez was knee-deep in some juicy gossip with her BFF Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes -- and internet sleuths/amateur lip-readers think she was talking about Kylie Jenner.

The actress/pop star went over to T-Swift's table at some point during the show -- a moment that was captured on a b-roll fan cam that was being broadcast from the Globes' own site ... showing behind-the-scenes stuff that didn't end up on TV.

Welp, eagle-eyed fans noticed this little meetup ... where SG rolls up on TayTay and a pal, Keleigh Teller, whispers something into Taylor's ear -- and then mouths something to her as well.

Keleigh, who's next to Taylor, appears to say "Timothée" and you see Selena nod emphatically.

While you can't hear much in the main clip circulating online, there's another video taken by a THR reporter who was standing nearby -- and who filmed part of this conversation. In their clip, you can hear Keleigh clearly say/ask "Timothée" ... just as many suspected.

Here's what the Internet thinks Selena said ... "I asked for a picture with him and she said no." Taylor looks shocked to hear this, and then the friend next to her asks if Selena means Timothée Chalamet ... and Selena confirms with the biggest, most exaggerated head gesture ever.

Of course, Kylie and Tim were in the building too ... and they were getting cozy throughout the show. It's unclear if/when Selena might've gone over there to chat -- but if what fans think they're seeing here is true ... it's interesting considering the interlinked history from all sides.

For starters, there's perceived bad blood between Selena and Kylie ... as well as with Hailey Bieber -- 'memba the whole "Mean Girls" eyebrows things? -- but they tried stamping that out.

When it comes to TC ... Selena shot a movie with the dude years ago, as love interests.

It'd only be natural for Selena to come on over and try to say hi to Timmy -- and a picture certainly wouldn't be out of the question either. You gotta wonder how exactly this may have gone down, and whether it was in Tim's presence or not ... assuming it happened at all.

Draymond Green was apparently close to leaving his basketball career behind ... revealing he considered retiring amid his indefinite suspension, but Adam Silver talked him out of it.

The Golden State Warriors star opened up on the private conversation he had with the NBA commish on his latest podcast episode this week ... saying he felt defeated around the time he was punished for hitting Phoenix Suns player Jusuf Nurkic.

"I told him, 'Adam this is too much for me,'" Draymond said, according to ESPN. "'This is too much. It's all becoming too much for me -- and I'm going to retire.'"

33-year-old Green went on to explain Silver talked some sense into him ... refusing to let him make a "rash decision" and walk away from the league.

Green said he appreciated the discussion ... and it showed that commish is more focused on what's best for the players than using his power to punish them.

The four-time champion -- who was suspended shortly after the Dec. 12 hit on Nurkic -- was reinstated over the weekend ... and is expected to suit up for the Warriors again soon.

The stars were out in force this weekend to celebrate all the big wins at the Golden Globes -- and there was no shortage of shindigs to hit up ... which they all most certainly did.

After the CBS broadcast was over, A-listers filed out of the Beverly Hilton and scattered all throughout L.A. to attend different after-parties -- and at first glance, it looks like HBO's get-together at the Chateau Marmont was the place to be.

Among the celebs in attendance for that one ... Matt Damon, Jennifer Lawrence, America Ferrera, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Costner, Margot Robbie, Billie Eilish, Tobey Maguire, Jodie Foster, Jeremy Allen White, Paris Jackson, Jason Sudeikis, Christopher Nolan, Casey Affleck ... and others.

Another big party was going down on behalf of Universal at Tommy's in Bev Hills -- and it was kinda "Oppenheimer"-centric ... with some overlap of famous faces from the movie.

Cillian Murphy swung by, as did Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty, Da'Vine Joy Randolph ... and a handful of other celebs who were at the award show.

Elsewhere in the Globes party-verse ... Billie Eilish was livin' it up after her big win for her original "Barbie" song -- and she was joined by the likes of Flavor Flav, Helen Mirren, Trevor Noah, Jeremy Allen White, Hannah Waddingham, Ali Wong and a slew of other stars.

Netflix had a major bash as well ... and theirs was also star-studded. Lenny Kravitz, Dave Chappelle, Natasha Lyonne, Jim Gaffigan, Barry Keoghan, Julianne Moore and more.

Like we said, the stars were out and ready to get their mingle on a Sunday night -- and they most certainly did that and then some. While the show was a little uneven, the after-parties looked like a great time.

Pretty eventful evening all things considered ... and it's just the start of awards season.

Two men got in a wild fistfight outside of the Tennessee Titans game on Sunday ... throwing haymakers right in the middle of a parking lot.

It's unclear exactly what sparked the melee in Nashville ... but based on commentary from the guys in the fight, it seems a remark or two about a woman in the area set it all off.

You can see in video from the scene, bystanders tried to separate the guys before the fists started flying ... but ultimately the men were able to get a hold of each other and started to pound on one another.

For several moments, they traded blows ... but they were pulled away from one another. However, the two were able to reconvene the fight just seconds later.

Eventually, a right hand sent one of the men crashing to the ground ... mercifully ending the battle.

According to the Nashville Police Dept., no arrests were made.

"It looks like it had dissipated at the end of the video when an officer is seen," a police spokesperson said. "There were no calls."

Jonathan Majors is maintaining his innocence even after being found guilty by a jury of his peers -- saying he was shocked by the verdict in his first televised interview.

The actor spoke to 'GMA' in an exclusive sit-down that aired Monday, and Linsey Davis was asking him some pretty hard questions ... including whether he did what he'd been accused of by the Manhattan D.A.'s Office -- namely, assaulting his ex-GF Grace Jabbari.

Majors insists he did not ... which is why he says he was stunned by the result, a conviction on two of four counts -- including harassment and assault, albeit the 2 lesser charges.

Davis asks him how Jabbari might've sustained her injuries if it wasn't him ... and he shrugs his shoulders, saying he has no idea -- but that he'd love to figure it out to find some peace.

JM was also grilled about this wild audio in which he's lecturing Jabbari about how she needed to be more like Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King if she wanted to be with him.

Jon says he was simply pointing out great people he aspired to be like ... defending his rant.

There are other highlights, but these are the big ones -- and Majors ends by expressing regret over how he handled things with his ex. He says he should've been man enough to leave her before that night ... and also says he shouldn't have been in the car with her.
