ICED OUT

The Buffalo Bills left Houston with an L, but the players didn't go empty-handed ... 'cause some of the team's biggest stars went on a huge jewelry shopping spree before the game!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... about 20 Bills players, including guys like Ed Oliver, Vincent Taylor, Cody Ford and Jordan Phillips, hit up celeb jeweler Iceman Nick for some awesome team bonding on Friday (the day before their game against the Texans).

We're told the players were so excited to go check out the store, they went over as soon as they checked into their team hotels.

Here's what they copped ...

Ford got an awesome 318 pendant on a 14kt half kilo Cuban chain, which is worth $75k.

Shaq Lawson got a buss down Audemars Piguet watch and Cuban chain and pendent, worth $65k.

Other goodies for the crew included a buss down Rolex for Oliver ($75k) and other players got a baguette diamond bracelet ($18k), and diamond solitaire earrings ($25k).

All in all, we're told the Bills players spent a whoppin' $500k combined.

Now THAT is some dope team bonding.

Princess Diana Blinged-Out Beanie Babies Fetch $12k Each!!!

The Princess Diana Beanie Babies market's alive and flourishing ... 'cause 2 of them just sold for a whopping $12,000 each.

Our sources say, 2 of the Princess Di crystal-encrusted Beanie Babies edition were up for sale at Nordstrom's in NYC. We're told 2 of Nordie's VIP clients quickly snatched them up. The sale comes just a week after we reported Kylie Jenner also dropped a cool $12k for a similar Beanie Baby.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie saw the super-rare Ireland Beanie Baby at Justin and Hailey Bieber's Paddle 8 auction. Kylie's new bear and the Princess Di bears are the work of Los Angeles-based artist Dan Life.

Ansel Elgort & GF Violetta Hit Tiffany & Co. ... Just a Globes Fitting, No Rings

UPDATE

6:58 PM PT -- Sources connected to Ansel tell TMZ ... he and Violetta were not checking out rings -- they were simply getting fitted for jewelry they plan to wear at the Golden Globes on Sunday.

Ansel Elgort and his girlfriend raised eyebrows this weekend in a high-end jewelry store, where they seemed to be shopping for bling in an area couples often go before saying, "I do."

The actor was spotted browsing through a display case Saturday at Tiffany & Co. in Bev Hills -- and we got a shot of him and his GF of damn near 8 years, Violetta Komyshan, looking at something she was trying on ... on a floor where we're told engagement rings are sold.

Ansel and Violetta were on the second floor of the 3-floor shop -- and Tiffany & Co. tells us that's where they peddle their diamond rocks at this location. Unclear what piece of jewelry captured their gaze, but they were definitely being helped by an employee.

In fact, an eyewitness tells us Violetta was actually checking various pieces -- again, though, no word on what specifically. That said, rings are certainly available in the showroom.

BACK HOME

From the looks of the photo, it's a bit hard to tell if the couple is staring down at Violetta's finger or wrist, or if Ansel himself is holding something between his fingers. But, IF they were actually peeping possible engagement rings, the timing would make sense.

Ansel and Violetta appear to have just touched down after a romantic holiday getaway in the Dominican Republic, where the PDA between them two was on full display. They were staying at an expensive private villa, which rents for $15k a night. They stayed a full week.

Not only that, but Ansel and Violetta have been together since 2012 ... and look to be very much in love. What better way to ring in the New Year than with ... well, a ring?

We've reached out to Ansel's reps for comment ... so far, no word back.

Soccer Superstar Franck Ribery Gifted $120k Rolex From Wife ... Happy New Year!!!

International soccer superstar Franck Ribery is ringing in the new year in style ... by rockin' a sick, new Rolex from his wife ... and it's got a price tag of a whoppin' $120k!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the French baller has been talking for a while about getting a nice timepiece ... so his wife, Wahiba, decided to hook her hubby up with the one-of-a-kind Rolly!!

We're told Wahiba hit up Franck's longtime friend, Gabriel the Jeweler, to come up with the fancy Sky Dweller ... which features 35 carats of VVS diamonds.

On top of that, Gabriel hooked it up with Franck's jersey number right below the Rolex crown!!

We're told this is the only watch of its kind ... and is worth a total of $120,000!!!

But, don't worry ... the dude is making MILLIONS to kick a ball around.

Charlotte Flair Engaged to WWE Champ Andrade ... I Said 'Si!!!'

Woooooooo!!!!!

WWE superstar Charlotte Flair is ringing in 2020 ... with a ring!!!

The 10-time WWE women's champ is officially engaged after her WWE superstar boyfriend, Andrade, popped the question on New Year's Eve!

"She said siiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!" 30-year-old Andrade announced late Tuesday night.

"Si," Flair posted herself a few minutes later.

Charlotte -- one of the biggest stars in pro wrestling and daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair -- went public with her relationship with Andrade back in April, when the two walked the red carpet at a Wrestlemania 35 event.

Andrade -- real name Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza -- is having a pretty good week ... he won the WWE's U.S. title on Dec. 26 after defeating Rey Mysterio.

The Mexican-born wrestler turned pro back in 2003 and worked the lucha libre circuit for years before eventually signing with WWE back in 2015.

Congrats!!!

Lamar Odom Pawned NBA Title Rings Hit Auction ... Could Fetch $100K!!!

The NBA Championship rings Lamar Odom famously pawned a few years ago are hitting the auction block ... and they can be all yours if ya got $100,000 layin' around!!!

TMZ Sports has learned the bling Odom received for winning titles with the L.A. Lakers in 2008-09 and 2009-10 are set to go up for sale ... and we're told they could fetch $50K A-PIECE!

The rings are REALLY cool ... each one boasts a TON of diamonds -- and the special engravings on each include realistic portraits of Odom's face.

We're told the ice is pretty heavy too ... the '09 ring weighs in at 75 grams, while the '10 ring comes in at 69 grams -- and both come with their original display boxes.

As for how the rings got to the Heritage Auctions block ... that story is pretty wild, because Odom reportedly pawned them off for just a few hundred bucks during the height of his issues with Khloe Kardashian several years ago -- and he never fought to get them back.

We're told bidding will begin late next month ... and close sometime in February.

Good luck!!!

Offset Sued by Jeweler ... I'm Still Waiting on $47,000!!!

UPDATE

7:21 AM PT -- A rep for Coach K tells us he's absolutely perplexed as to why he's included in the lawsuit. We're told he had absolutely no knowledge of the sale and wasn't involved in any capacity, nor does he know who Peter Marco is -- the rep says K rarely even buys jewelry for himself -- other than the occasional vintage watch from a seller in Atlanta.

Offset got the drip from a popular jeweler in L.A. but hasn't squared his tab with the guy in over a year ... according to a new suit.

Peter Marco of Extraordinary Jewels Beverly Hills is going after the Migos rapper for $47,000, for what he claims are unpaid fees from an October 2018 transaction at his store.

The legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- include a copy of an invoice allegedly showing Offset bought some bling for $110k, but only paid $63k at the time ... leaving the balance of $47k.

According to Marco ... his legal team sent Offset a letter in early December demanding the payment within 7 days, but it looks like they didn't get it. So now, the jeweler wants the full amount ... plus interest and attorney fees.

The lawsuit also lists Quality Control Music COO Kevin "Coach K" Lee. The record label reps Migos.

We've reached out to Offset and Coach K ... no word back so far.

Kylie Jenner Check Out My $12K Beanie Baby!!!

Kylie Jenner still loves Beanie Babies ... because she just dropped a fat stack of cash to bring home a blinged-out bear!!!

Our sources tell us Kylie threw down a cool $12,000 for a custom Beanie Baby bear covered in crystals ... this after seeing the piece at Justin and Hailey Bieber's Paddle 8 auction.

The super rare Beanie Baby is designed by Los Angeles-based artist Dan Life, and it's 1 of only 5 ever created. Dan's known for his nostalgic works inspired by his 90s childhood -- he makes a lot of flashy Pokemon art as well -- and this bear is his twist on the classic Erin Beanie Baby from back in the day.

We're told Dan already dropped the bear off with Justin, and the Biebs is gonna hand-deliver it to Kylie!

Sure, it's a lot of money to spend on a toy Stormi will never get to play with ... but the money raised from Justin and Hailey's auction benefits needy families in L.A. ... so Kylie's supporting a good cause.

And, if you've got an extra $12k laying around ... Dan's got a pair of crystal-encrusted Princess Diana Beanie Babies for sale at Nordstrom NYC.

Nick Young Gets Engaged!!! With An Assist from Lil Swaggy P!!!

Nick Young saved his girlfriend's best gift for last ... asking her to marry him with a MASSIVE engagement ring!!!

The charming moment went down on Christmas morning with help from his son, Nick Jr. who filmed the whole thing. You can see Nick grab the huge ring box from a different room and walk over to his baby mama Keonna Green and said the proposal is "way overdue."

Nick Young
RINGIN' IN CHRISTMAS

It's a pretty swaggy moment ... the entire fam -- wearing matching PJs -- saw Nick tell Keonna he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and, of course, she said yes. Nick let out a huuuuge cheer after he slipped the ring on her. He then turned to his son and said, "We did it, son!!" Nick Jr. was stoked about it too.

We're told Nick worked with Jason of Beverly Hills to come up with the perfect ring for his Keonna ... and he was really stoked with the results.

"Nick was very hands on and took his time to design the ring and plan the proposal. You can tell he really enjoyed the process and I can definitely see the connection between him and Keonna. He proposed to his soulmate," Jason Arasheben, CEO Jason of Beverly Hills tells us.

Nick and Keonna started dating in high school. They have 3 kids together ... Nick Jr., daughter Navi and daughter Nyce, who was born in July.

Congrats!!!

Errol Spence Cops Dope $100k Cartier Watch Merry Christmas To Me!!!

It's the season of giving ... which means boxing superstar Errol Spence got himself an AMAZING Cartier watch for the holidays ... and it's got a $100k price tag!!

TMZ Sports has learned, the champ wanted to treat himself at the end of the year ... so he hit up his go-to guy, Iceman Nick, to make him a one-of-a-kind diamond Cartier watch!!

We're told it's a one-of-one 2-tone Santos de Cartier Skeleton watch ... which is decked out with 30 carats of VVS diamonds, 18k rose gold screws and bezel, 7-sided crown set with a faceted sapphire, blue-steel sword-shaped hands and a sapphire crystal case back.

Yeah, fancy stuff.

And, after surviving a near-fatal Ferrari crash in October -- we totally get why the boxer would want to spend a little money on himself!

Of course, Iceman Nick is also the guy behind Errol's sick, $400k "Man Down" chain ... so you know the dude loves what he sees.

We're told the entire piece is worth $100k ... but Spence has made a nice chunk of change in his career, so it ain't no thang.

Drake Debuts New Look ... Gets His Ears Pierced For Real

Drake has completed his fly-boy look with something folks thought he would've had done years ago ... getting his ears pierced. And, the reason he finally did it is hilarious.

Otniel Pichardo, who's the owner of Atlanta Ink -- a tattoo and piercing studio in the ATL -- tells TMZ ... Drizzy's team called up their shop Friday night out of the blue and requested Otniel and the crew come to Drake's hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta for a personal session.

Apparently, the rapper's camp did a quick Google search of the best piercers in the area, and Atlanta Ink came up close to the top in the results. Talk about having a good rep!!!

Anyway, Otniel rolled out with his biz partner, CJ, and their best piercer, Christian, and they hit up Drake's hotel room ... where none other than Champagne Papi himself was waiting. We're told Drake wanted his ears pierced ... and naturally, was kinda nervous about it.

Blueface Joins Crew in Whooping Some Ass On Alleged Would-Be Thief

Blueface jumped into a brawl that involved his own crew beating on a guy who allegedly tried snatching the rapper's bling ... which is a shame because he was dressed to impress. 12/20/19
THE BRUTAL BEATDOWN
TMZ.com

Blueface jumped into a brawl that involved his own crew beating on a guy who allegedly tried snatching the rapper's bling ... which is a shame because he was dressed to impress.

The rapper popped up Friday night with his entourage at the Blue Moon Hookah Lounge in Downtown L.A., where he even got on stage at one point and performed for a bit. Blueface was rocking what appears to be a Burberry puffer coat, which retails at $1,390.

Bottom line ... it doesn't look like Blueface was looking for trouble. Unfortunately, it seemed to find him nonetheless.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... word around the lounge was that some dude tried stealing Blueface's chain right off of him -- something we know people attempt to do when rappers make public appearances like this. That said, it's unclear what exactly sparked this beatdown.

Either way, the guy certainly pissed someone off and got his ass handed to him as a result. We're told security eventually broke it up, and Blueface and co. left shortly thereafter. Similar to the time he jumped into the mix of another brawl up in Santa Cruz.

Unlike then, we're told cops were NOT called for this incident. However, our law enforcement sources say the L.A. City Fire Dept. was called and someone got sent to the hospital.

Boosie Badazz SUV Burglary Footage ... Awkward Getaway!!!

The perps who allegedly busted a window of Boosie Badazz's Bentley SUV and jacked $70k in jewelry were caught on camera ... and so was their escape as the rapper's buddy gave chase.

Boosie
CAUGHT ON TAPE
TMZ.com

Surveillance video of the burglary -- obtained by TMZ -- shows 2 men in dark clothes approach the passenger side of Boosie's ride and hang out there for several moments ... presumably, this is when they broke his rear passenger window to get in.

Cops say an alarm scared them off temporarily, but as you can see ... they return in a black sedan and one jumps out to grab something. Then they make their getaway -- which doesn't go too smoothly -- but they still manage to outrun B-Will, a rapper who works with Boosie.

Boosie Badazz
NOT MESSIN' AROUND

We broke the story ... the suspected thieves allegedly swiped 2 diamond and rose gold rings worth $10k and a $50k necklace. Boosie posted a video about one of those rings -- a diamond-encrusted "BOSSMAN" piece -- because he was pissed about it getting stolen.

Cops are still investigating, but so far no arrests. As for the guy driving the getaway car ... remind you of anyone?

Boosie Badazz Thieves Bust into Bentley ... Swipe $70k in Jewelry

10:25 AM PT -- We've now obtained photos of the busted back window of the Bentley where the crooks made their entrance into the vehicle.

UPDATE

The alleged getaway car of the thieves is a black sedan ... and cops are asking for any help to try and figure out who was behind the wheel.

UPDATE

Boosie Badazz hates Mondays, like most of us -- actually, probably more -- because someone broke into his ride, and made off with some pricey rings and a $50,000 necklace!

While the rapper was grabbing a bite to eat at a Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen outside Atlanta, the perps smashed the rear passenger side window of his Bentley SUV ... according to police.

A man named Brian Wilcott reported the break-in, saying he saw a younger-looking black male by the car reaching into it. Wilcott -- better known as rapper B-Will -- works with Boosie and told cops he gave chase, but a suspect jumped into a waiting car and fled.

According to the police report ... B-Will says 3 pieces of his jewelry were stolen -- a "super bowl style" diamond ring valued at $10k, a large rose gold one with the diamond letters "BOSSMAN" valued at $10k, and a rose gold Cuban link chain with diamonds valued at $50k.

Tamara Ecclestone Formula 1 Heiress Burglarized ... $67 Mil Jewelry Heist

Tamara Ecclestone -- daughter Formula 1 racing boss Bernie Ecclestone -- was targeted by burglars who stole $67 MILLION in jewelry from her London home, officials say.

35-year-old Tamara reportedly had left the country for the Christmas holidays and while she was gone, multiple people broke into the Kensington Palace Gardens estate where she lives with husband Jay Rutland and made off with a killing.

The burglars allegedly entered the home through a garden area and bee-lined it straight for Tamara's bedroom where they took everything from earrings to rings to bracelets ... they basically hit the jackpot.

A spokesperson the Ecclestones says Tamara is "angry and shaken" -- especially since she was counting on her home's high-end security system and 24-hour security to keep her stuff safe.

"I can sadly confirm there has been a home invasion at the Ecclestone-Rutland family home."

Officials say 3 suspects were eventually spotted by security and ran off. No arrests have been made.

Some people suspect the hit was an inside job -- obviously, officials are on the hunt as we speak.

The Ecclestone family is reportedly worth more than $3 BILLION -- remember, her sister, Petra, famously bought Candy Spelling's Holmby Hills mansion for $85 million ... and later sold it for $120 MIL.

The Ecclestone home is located in a very exclusive area known as "Billionaires' Row" ... home of some of the most expensive properties in the world.

In fact, Ecclestone's street reportedly has 24-hour security.

A CHAMP'S WELCOME
ESPN

There were no boo birds for Kawhi Leonard's big return to Toronto on Wednesday ... with the Klaw getting an epic tribute before his Clippers played the Raptors.

Of course, this is Leonard's first game back in the 6 after bailing for L.A. this past off-season ... and the Dinos gave an awesome video tribute of Leonard's many highlights from his lone year with the squad.

The best part of the ceremony came on the court ... with the arena lights highlighting Kawhi's path to his incredible buzzer-beating shot over the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semis last season.

The reception is totally understandable ... the guy helped the Raptors earn the franchise's very first championship.

Raptors team ambassador Drake was courtside for the moment ... giving the Klaw a shoutout on Instagram, saying "Kawhi's home" while showing off his own bling.

Leonard -- who is known for showing no emotions -- clearly looked appreciative of the gesture as he hugged all his ex-teammates and received his own title ring.

But, now that all the mushy tributes are over, we're sure Kawhi is gonna try to drop 50 on his old team just for fun.
