Luke Bryan's selling his Florida beachfront home ... and someone finally pulled together the kinda scratch he was looking for -- 8 figures worth -- to part ways with the property.

TMZ has learned the country singer has a pending sale for his five-bedroom, five-bathroom home on the Sunshine State's panhandle. Luke was asking $12.95 million -- an astronomical price -- but one buyer clearly thinks it's worth it.

The 4,645-square-foot house sits on over an acre of land in Santa Rosa Beach complete with a Gulf adjacent pool -- for days when walking those 100 or so extra steps just doesn't seem worth it -- heart pine floors, elevated ceilings and a modern kitchen full of the newest appliances.

The fan who caught Shohei Ohtani's historic 176th home run is about to be a whole lot richer ... TMZ Sports has learned the man's putting the ball up for auction -- and it's expected to net him a small fortune!!

The guys over at Heritage Auctions tell us ... Jason Patino -- who snagged the record-setting baseball after Ohtani blasted it toward him in an April 21 victory over the Mets -- is selling the memento on their block, and they're figuring it'll eventually go for around $200,000.

The ball, of course, holds a ton of value ... as it marked the official breaking of Hideki Matsui's MLB record for dingers by a Japanese-born slugger.

George Floyd’s ex, Roxie Washington, is backing Kamala Harris’ VP pick, telling TMZ ... she's not buying the backlash against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for the 2020 BLM riots over George's murder.

Roxie says she doesn't really get why there's so much hate against Walz regarding the civil unrest that erupted back then, because she doesn't get what he was supposed to do about it.

Instead, her anger's directed at Mayor Jacob Frey ... as she believes it was his job to protect the city.

Before this blonde hair blue-eyed baby boy was throwin' his charming looks up on the big screen, he was just an Aussie boy playing tennis, kicking the soccer ball and surfing the waves with his two brothers.

In 2009, he flew across the pond to start his acting career. Perhaps you've seen him in popular films like "The Hunger Games" and "Independence Day: Resurgence," but surely these movies wont be his "Last Song."

If you've scrolled through his Instagram, you'd know he loves nature, the ocean and a great thirst trap pic!

The Paris Olympics wasn't all fun and gold medals for Steph Curry and his family ... the NBA legend's wife, Ayesha found herself in tears while dealing with French authorities.

The TV personality -- who was in Paris to cheer on her Team USA star hubby as he willed the U.S. to a victory of France in Saturday's gold medal game -- is going viral as video shows her wiping away tears while having a tense face-off with local authorities.

Check out the vid ... it's unclear exactly what went down, but it seems there was a dispute over whether or not Ayesha and her infant son, Caius Chai, were allowed to make their way over to their car ... which appeared to be stuck in gridlock traffic due to French President Emmanuel Macron exiting the area.

From the sounds of it, baby Caius got caught up in the chaos and was clocked in the noggin by someone on the scene ... which prompted an emotional response from Ayesha and Steph's mom, Sonya.

Steph's Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green happened to be there ... and was even heard snapping at the authorities, saying ... "So even after y'all hit the baby in the head, there's still nothing y'all can do to get them out of here?"

Of course, no surprise Draymond would have the Curry's back ... Steph and DG have been teammates for years.

But, the French authorities didn't appear moved by their pleas ... as they maintained their stance that the family had to stay put.

Prior to the confrontation, the Curry's were on cloud 9.

Steph was a key factor in Team USA's win over France, earning Curry, LeBron James and the rest of the stars a gold medal. The 2x NBA MVP went off in the closing moments of the tight game, knocking down 4 threes when the U.S badly needed buckets.

The 2024 Olympics are officially a wrap ... closing a memorable, controversial Paris Games with star-studded performances by Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish and The Red Hot Chili Peppers!

The celebration, which kicked off at the Stade de France Sunday afternoon, saw competitors from across the globe, celebrating their new gold, silver, and bronze hardware, coming together one final time for a variety of big performances from dancers, musicians and more.

The first big act came from French indie band, Phoenix, who performed their big hit, "Lisztomania," as the athletes surrounded the stage. The band later collaborated with Kavinsky for a rendition of the party anthem, "Nightcall."

Well, we told you so! Tom Cruise did the honors at the end of the Paris Olympics closing ceremony, and it went down exactly like we said it would! And, it was pretty spectacular.

Tom appeared at the top of Stade de France just as H.E.R. wrapped up her amazing rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner," and yes, he rapelled down to the floor of the stadium as fans went insane.

Tom walked up to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who handed him the Olympic flag -- Tom hopped on a motorcycle and rode with the flag on the back outside the stadium.

Kanye West took a big L at the hands of someone he's had beef with for years -- one Taylor Swift!

Kanye's streak of 11 consecutive No. 1 albums was just broken, because "Vultures 2" fell short of the top spot by 1 ... and that 1 belongs to TS' "The Tortured Poets Department."

Taylor must be reveling in her latest win. Kanye's been a thorn in her side ever since 2009, when he hijacked her moment at the MTV Video Music Awards, telling the world Beyoncé was robbed and should have taken home the prize.

Olympic boxer Imane Khelif has had it up to HERE with bullying regarding her sex, and her lawyer is now ready to kick ass.

The Algerian athlete took home the gold in the women’s welterweight division Friday ... after facing controversy earlier in the competition when questions about her sex arose online.

Nelly got a slot at Machine Gun Kelly's concert over the weekend, and the crowd went wild!

Nelly's appearance was part of the annual MGK Day celebration in Cleveland.

Rock climbing walls are for wusses .... so says a dude who just scaled the Eiffel Tower  ... and the timing of his stunt could not have been worse.

Watch the vid ... the man scales the 330-meter tower, making his way over the blue ring of the Olympics logo ... which is temporarily perched on the famed landmark.

The incident went down Sunday afternoon ... just 3 hours before the start of the Olympics closing ceremony, forcing French police to evacuate the area around the Tower.

Jeff Bezos didn't get to be one of the richest people in the world by squandering money ... so thought an Italian dude who offered the billionaire a deal he couldn't refuse.

Jeff and fiancée Lauren Sanchez were tooling along a beach in Sardinia when they came upon a guy selling sun dresses on the sand. It's a thing ... merchants pitching their wares on the beach, thinking beachgoers would find it irresistible to upgrade their fits.

J&L gave him a smile, but passed on the schmatta.

They had ventured off their super yacht to lunch with Leo DiCaprio, his GF Vittoria Ceretti, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, all of whom are guests on Bezo's big boat.

Nev Schulman is lucky to be alive ... he got in a bike accident that could have paralyzed him for life, or even worse.

Nev said he was riding his bike last Monday, going to his son's school to bring him home, when disaster hit. “I never made it to pick up my son from school on the bike. In fact in some ways, I’m glad I didn’t. I was alone on impact. Me and the truck. And then I guess the pavement. I was alone and unconscious.”

The 39-year-old 'Catfish' host revealed he was rushed to a Southampton, New York hospital and doctors quickly diagnosed him ... he had a broken neck, and there were ominous signs.

When Taylor Swift returns to the stage, London authorities and Wembley Stadium will be taking extraordinary steps for security -- including some specifically deployed to stop potential terrorists ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Taylor's 5 upcoming shows at Wembley will be relying on additional private security specializing in counterterrorism, partly in response to the Vienna terror plot foiled by U.S. and Austrian officials.

We're told the private security force will also be deployed because of ongoing London riots that are placing a major strain on local police.

Sabrina Carpenter and Kacey Musgraves killed it at the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco, singing one of the most iconic songs ever ... and the crowd went nuts!

Sabrina and Kacey sang Nancy Sinatra's famous hit, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" ... and the only thing that was a little disappointing -- Kacey wasn't wearing boots!

Nevertheless, there was a lot to celebrate ... before taking the stage, Sabrina took a sip from an espresso cup to celebrate her hit song, "Espresso," passing the 1 billion mark in terms of streams on Spotify.

The verdict is in on the fate of Jordan Chiles' bronze medal ... and it ain't good.

The International Olympic Committee ruled the U.S. gymnast would have to give back the third-place medal she won in the floor competition during the Paris Olympic Games – and it will now be bestowed on her Romanian counterpart, Ana Barbosu.

As you may know, the whole controversy began last Monday ... Chiles scored a 13.666 in the women's floor exercise, landing her fifth in the competition.
