TMZ Sports spoke with the NFL hopeful as he sat alongside a highway outside the Fins' headquarters on Wednesday ... and he told us he plans to be out there every day for the entirety of Miami's training camp -- until he gets an official yes or no from the organization.

Ulbrich said he started the journey after one of his friends told him he needed to do something unique to set himself apart from others gunning for the coveted spots on Miami's 2024-25 roster.

Charli XCX and Kamala Harris are the collab heard around the world, and while the lime green memes of the presidential candidate are flooding social media, Kamala's not the only star in the spotlight having a Big BRAT summer!

Charli recently dropped her 6th studio album titled "BRAT" and took to Twitter and called out, "kamala IS brat." The singer defines BRAT as: "That girl who is a little messy, likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes ...."

The phrase is actually a term of endearment amongst the Gen Z'ers ... and gives Kamala edge and "rizz" 😜!

Big stars like Meg Thee Stallion, Amelia Gray and Bhad Bhabie have been livin' their best BRAT lives -- showing off their braless fits, posing with cigs, scraggly street style, and owning TF out of their trashiness!

The Trump shooter looked up a famous assassination before his would-be attempt, Halle Berry is celebrating her "Catwoman" anniversary, and a couple WNBA rookies are boosting merchandise sales ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles explain the recent revelation from the FBI director ... who says Thomas Matthew Crooks googled the JFK assassination details before trying to kill Donald Trump.

Before this cool kiddo playing with their toys turned into a star up on the big screen, they were just growing up in Halifax, Nova Scotia and taking a deep interest in theater from a young age.

He became known for his role in "Hard Candy" with Sandra Oh and Patrick Wilson, but his 2007 performance in "Juno" with Michael Cera made his permanent mark as a star. You may also know their advocacy for LGBTQ+ and have seen them on talk shows like "The Drew Barrymore Show."

Need one more clue? Their book is titled: "Pageboy."

President Biden is addressing the nation after a rocky end to his campaign -- seeking to calm concerns over his ability to finish out his term ... while once again hyping up his VP and further explaining his decision to not seek reelection.

The veteran politician spoke to the American people from the Oval Office Wednesday night, sitting behind the resolute desk and explaining it was time to pass the torch to a new, younger generation.

Biden rattled off his list of accomplishments over the past 3.5 years and said he thought his performance warranted a shot at another 4 years ... but he says he realized it was time for new voices to lead the Democratic party.

Donald Trump is now going after Kamala Harris as his new would-be opponent come November -- and he's got a new nickname for her too ... even though it's technically old.

The ex-Prez is out in Charlotte, NC for a campaign rally ... and he's taking shots at the veep, who is presumably going to be the Democratic nominee instead of President Biden.

Trump told the crowd ... "So now we have a new victim to defeat, Lyin' Kamala Harris." He even spelled it out ... "L-Y-I-N apostrophe." Guess Trump didn't want folks thinking he was calling her "Lion Kamala Harris."

Cardi B is NOT a fan of some new flavored chicken wings at Popeyes ... but the restaurant is welcoming her poor review, and encouraging her to taste other flavors.

Here's the deal ... Cardi was working late in the studio in New York when she posted a video with some Popeyes chicken wings, rating them a 2 out of 10 and bashing the taste.

Cardi says she's trying the new honey lemon pepper wings ... blasting Popeyes for "fumbling" the flavor, which she says tastes like Sprite.

Bianca Censori is back at it again with yet another see-through top ... offering up another look at her breasts and nipples.

Kanye West and his wife went out for a movie date Tuesday in Los Angeles, and Bianca didn't feel the need to support her tatas with a bra ... instead putting the goods on full display in a VERY sheer top, if you can even call it that.

We're hearing Ye and Bianca got a couple tickets to "Fly Me to the Moon" -- starring Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson -- but folks who were there say the pair bounced after only 45 minutes.

A guest on FOX Business suggested Vice President Kamala Harris slept her way to the top live on the air -- and he did so by invoking none other than the now-viral Haliey Welch.

Author Alec Lace went on the network earlier this month to talk shop, and it quickly became clear he was no fan of Dems or the VP, especially when he referenced her in very vulgar terms.

The shocking moment is just now going viral because of Harris' presidential campaign.

Watch ... Lace was trashing Kamala, calling her the "DEI Vice President" and saying the Democratic party's prospects are grim. Then, he called KH the "original Hawk Tuah girl."

Amber Rose whooping on Joseline Hernandez is a legendary reality TV fight that's never been seen ... until now, and the brawl relates to the reignited discussion about Amber's racial identity after her starring role at the Republican National Convention.

TMZ obtained footage showing what never made it on air during season 2 of "College Hill: Celebrity Edition" -- when Amber and Joseline got into a big scuffle on the show, which BET says it censored due to violence and out of respect for HBCUs. The show was recorded on the campus of Alabama State University.

The clip doesn't have audio, but you can see Amber and Joseline jawboning -- which was shown when the show aired -- and the argument was all about Amber's race.

Celine Dion will make a grand return to the Las Vegas scene ... we've learned she's going to launch a new residency.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Celine is in the "final stages" of negotiating with Resorts World for a residency that will start either in late 2024 or early 2025. The negotiations have gone on for several months. As one source put it, "It's basically a done deal. She's doing it." We're told AEG will produce the show.

Our sources say this is all Celine's doing. She is determined to get back onstage to do live performances ... something she talked about at length in her documentary, "I Am: Celine Dion." One source tells TMZ, "This is all her No one is pushing her to do it. She has a passion for getting back onstage, and she's gonna do it."

Chris Brown and Yella Beezy just got hit with another lawsuit -- this time from a security guard who claims he was horribly injured while breaking up the brawl that led to the first suit!

In the docs, filed Wednesday and obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Frederick R. Overpeck says he was working as a security guard at Dickies Arena in Ft. Worth on July 20, and, more specifically, was instructed to work the backstage meet-and-greet where the alleged fight took place.

Rockies pitcher Cal Quantrill got so pissed at Reese McGuire during their game Wednesday, he shaded the Red Sox catcher for his past public masturbation arrest -- and his heated words nearly incited an all-out brawl.

The incident went down after McGuire hit a pop-up in the fourth inning of the two teams' tilt at Coors Field in Denver.

As Cal was walking back toward the Rockies' dugout ... he for some reason decided to go after McGuire -- reminding him colorfully of when he was arrested in 2020 for allegedly pleasuring himself in a car in front of a store in Florida.

John Schneider has found a new Duchess of Hazzard -- tying the knot with Dee Dee Sorvino, widow of the late Paul Sorvino ... about two years after his own wife passed.
