Ryan Blaney is just days removed from the biggest moment in his racing career ... so, how's the 2023 Cup Series champion celebrating?! TMZ Sports asked the NASCAR star.
"I'm going on vacation this upcoming weekend, so I'm excited for that!" Blaney told us ... adding the vacay was planned before winning the title, but it certainly makes the trip "even more special now," according to the driver.
But, even more so than a boy's trip, Blaney says he's looking forward to spending time with the team behind the great season.
"I'm excited to go to our race shop [Wednesday] to see everybody. See all the men and women who are a part of Team Penske in North Carolina. So that's gonna be another special moment to spend with everybody."
Blaney, at just 29 years old, secured the coveted title with a second-place (behind Ross Chastain) finish during Sunday's season finale at Phoenix Raceway ... earning Ryan enough points to win the Cup Series title!
Ryan comes from a racing family ... his dad Dave made nearly 500 NASCAR starts. Grandpa was a driver, too -- mostly on dirt tracks -- and the racing lineage was a huge inspiration for the new champion.
"I was lucky enough as a kid to grow up around it, with my dad racing, him coming from dirt tracks just like my grandfather and I just saw it at a young age. As a kid, I just wanted to do what my dad did. I was fascinated by it, so he was obviously a huge part of getting me going, and supporting me throughout the way."
Ryan continued ... "Still having my family in my life the way they are, supporting me week in and week out, supporting me in my adulthood, is something that I can never thank them enough for."
FYI, Kyle Larson, William Byron, Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin rounded out the Cup Series standings.
As for when he turns his attention to next season ... here's what Ryan told us.
"Now. But at the same time, I'm still gonna enjoy this one. I don't want to look ahead too much."

Blaney continued ... "I think when it gets to the New Year, when January rolls around, 'Okay, it's time to go back to work! What do we have to do to get another?' But until January, I'm enjoying this one, and then I'll focus on the new one!"
Congrats!!

Tyreek Hill officially has another ring ... TMZ Sports has learned he just married his longtime fiancée, Keeta Vaccaro!!!
According to court documents we obtained, the former Super Bowl champ and Vaccaro -- the sister of ex-NFL star Kenny Vaccaro -- tied the knot on Wednesday afternoon while in Travis County, Texas.
The ceremony had been a long time coming ... as Hill initially asked for Keeta's hand in marriage way back in 2021.
During his extravagant proposal, Hill popped the question with a giant diamond ring that the wide receiver said he put in serious effort to make sure was better than his SB bling.
"She's definitely got the most diamonds, man" the 29-year-old Miami Dolphins star told us at the time. "We made sure of that, you know what I'm saying?!"
Hill will now have plenty of time to celebrate being a newlywed ... the Fins are on a bye -- so he won't have to start prepping for a game until next week.
Congrats!!!

Frances Bean Cobain & Riley Hawk First Sighting Since Wedding ... Bands on Bands on Hands!!!
Frances Bean Cobain and her new hubby, Riley Hawk, are bonded by matrimony -- and now it appears they're getting ready to call a new spot home for their early years.
Kurt Cobain's only daughter and Tony Hawk's oldest son were spotted out near their Oceanside, CA home Tuesday ... where they appeared to be getting situated in what looks to be a big move -- possibly even them settling into their newlywed nest.
The couple wasn't actually pictured together ... each running separate errands -- with RH doing the heavy lifting with the furniture, and Frances hitting a store.
Of course, what everyone wants to see is if they're rocking wedding bands ... and yes, they most certainly are. FBC has a traditional gold ring, whereas Riley has a sportier rubber one.
We broke the story ... their marriage certificate revealed they actually exchanged vows on Oct. 7 here in L.A. -- but it would appear they prefer to spread out closer to San Diego, albeit ... still right by the beach.
They've been linked as a couple since at least 2021 -- so a good 2 years of dating went a long way ... and their famous extended fams have obviously been introduced/mingled too.
The only question we have ... when's the housewarming party???

El sospechoso que arrebató las pertenencias de Lily Collins ha sido identificado, según cuentan fuentes policiales a TMZ. De hecho, el departamento del sheriff de Los Angeles está pidiendo apoyo del servicio público para capturar al ladrón.
Andreea Catalina Rosca ha sido desenmascarado como el presunto autor del robo de las posesiones de la estrella de "Emily en París", incluyendo su anillo de bodas, su anillo de compromiso y algunos aparatos electrónicos.
Ahora hay una orden de arresto activa contra Rosca por la sustracción de joyas y tarjetas de crédito de las taquillas de un spa de hotel y un estudio de yoga, así como por el uso de objetos robados para crear identificaciones falsas y comprar más de 67.000 dólares en joyas.
Manteniéndose ocupada en sus actividades delictivas, también posee un documento de identidad falso del Estado de Washington con el nombre de "Nicole Morri".
Andreea, alias Nicole, se describe como una mujer adulta blanca, de unos 34 años, 5 pies 1 pulgada, 100 libras, pelo negro y ojos marrones.
Vinculada a los Grupos Rumanos de Robo Organizado, se sabe que viaja por los Estados Unidos cometiendo delitos similares. Cualquier persona con información sobre su paradero se insta a ponerse en contacto con la estación de West Hollywood Sheriff.

Deion Sanders Calls Locker Room Burglary 'Travesty' ... Do Something, NCAA!!!
Deion Sanders is livid that his Colorado players allegedly had a bunch of jewelry stolen from their lockers during Saturday's game against UCLA ... and now, he wants the NCAA to get involved.
Coach Prime ranted about the matter to reporters on Tuesday ... calling it a travesty that his student-athletes can't play a football game without worrying about their belongings getting jacked.
"Our kids got robbed during the game last week," Sanders said. "I think that's a travesty. I would expect the NCAA to do something about that."
Sanders explained his team has always stressed the importance of financial responsibility to their players in light of Name, Image and Likeness deals ... but admitted his staff dropped the ball when it comes to insurance.
Colorado Players Claim Jewelry Stolen From Locker Room During UCLA Loss
Even though a lot of -- if not all -- the players didn't have their valuables insured, Sanders expects the items taken from their Rose Bowl lockers to be replaced or reimbursed.
"This is the Rose Bowl -- they say 'The Granddaddy of Them All,' right? I'm sure Granddaddy has some money. Grandpa should have some money to give these kids."
Coach Prime said the next step is for his players to give an itemized list of what was jacked during the game -- and he expects them to be truthful.
Also worth noting -- Sanders said it wasn't just the Buffaloes impacted by the alleged heist ... revealing there were items stolen from both teams' locker rooms.
"I hope we can do something about that, NCAA. You do something about everything else. Do something about that."
As we previously reported, an investigation into the allegations is underway ... but so far, a culprit has not been identified.

La estrella de "This Is Us", Milo Ventimiglia, fue vista usando un anillo en el dedo, preguntamos de qué se trataba y nos confirmaron que el actor efectivamente formalizó su relación con la modelo Jarah Mariano en una ceremonia secreta.
Milo y Jarah estaban viendo el partido de Rugby World Series del sábado en un restaurante llamado Yahir en Los Ángeles, pero el gran juego entre Nueva Zelanda y Sudáfrica no era lo más interesante que estaba pasando en el establecimiento.
Echa un vistazo al anillo en la mano izquierda de Milo. Jarah incluso se podía ver tocando su anillo mientras disfrutaban de su tiempo juntos. Y sí, el representante de Milo nos confirmó que la pareja se casó.
La boda secreta se llevó a cabo a principios de este año en una ceremonia privada con la familia y algunos amigos cercanos, está de más decir que fueron muy bajo perfil esta vez.
Milo y Jarah han sido vistos juntos desde el año pasado, pero nunca salieron ni confirmaron su romance, pero bueno, ¡qué mejor confirmación que esta!

"This Is Us" Star Milo Ventimiglia was spotted wearin' a ring on that finger ... and we've confirmed the actor has tied the knot with model Jarah Mariano in a secret ceremony.
Milo and Jarah were watching Saturday's Rugby World Series match at a restaurant called Yahir in Los Angeles -- but the big game between New Zealand and South Africa wasn't even the most interesting thing going on at the establishment.
Check out the bling on Milo's left hand -- Jarah could even be seen touching his ring while they enjoyed their time together. And yes, Milo's rep confirms with TMZ that the 2, indeed, got hitched.
The secret wedding went down earlier this year in a private ceremony with family and some close friends ... safe to say, they certainly flew under the radar with this one.
Milo and Jarah have been linked together since last year, but never came out and confirmed their romance -- but it doesn't get a whole lot more confirmed than this.
Congrats!!!

Colorado Football Someone Jacked Our Jewelry!!! ... During UCLA Loss
The University of Colorado football team apparently left California with more than a loss on the field -- several Buffaloes players claim they had jewelry stolen from their lockers during their matchup against UCLA on Saturday.
Deion Sanders' son, Deion Jr., shared the allegations in a postgame video posted on Sunday night ... showing multiple athletes in shock outside the Rose Bowl after discovering their valuables were taken.
Star safety Cam'ron Silmon-Craig was one of the players who claimed they were affected ... saying, "You're gonna play football and know your s*** safe. That joint messed up."
Another player stated he had just gotten his chain the day prior ... and whoever snagged his stuff took it right out of the box.
An investigation into the matter is underway, according to OutKick.
"The UCLA athletic department confirmed that a report was filed to the Pasadena Police Department following the UCLA-Colorado football game regarding items that were reportedly missing from the Colorado locker room," the school said in a statement.
"UCLA is in communication with law enforcement, Rose Bowl Stadium officials and the University of Colorado on the matter."
The Buffaloes fell to the Bruins, 28-16 ... falling to 4-4 on the season.
Coach Prime has yet to address the alleged heist.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER No está comprometido con Heather... A pesar de la gran roca

Arnold Schwarzenegger no está listo para atar el nudo nuevamente, al menos no todavía, a pesar de los informes que sugieren lo contrario.
Heather Milligan es la novia de Arnold desde hace mucho tiempo y esta semana fue vista con una gran roca en el dedo. Muchos especularon que podría ser un anillo de compromiso, pero fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que no lo es.
El camino está despejado para que Arnold se case de nuevo. Su divorcio con Maria Shriver finalizó en 2021, diez años después de que ella solicitara el divorcio.
Arnold y Heather están juntos desde 2013 y son súper unidos. Viven y viajan juntos, así que es un poco como si estuvieran casados.
Heather, por cierto, es una fisioterapeuta muy exitosa, con su propia empresa: Elite OrthoSport. De hecho, se conocieron en 2012, cuando ella estaba rehabilitando a Arnold después de una cirugía de hombro.
La pareja ha estado viajando por todo el mundo durante las últimas semanas, promocionando su nuevo libro de autoayuda "Be useful: Seven Tools for Life".
En cuanto al anillo, bueno, como diría Freud, a veces una piedra es solo una piedra.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not ready to tie the knot again, despite reports suggesting otherwise ... at least not yet.
Arnold's longtime girlfriend, Heather Milligan, has been spotted this week with a large rock on her finger ... and it does look like it could be an engagement ring, but sources with direct knowledge tell us ... it's not.
The path is clear for Arnold to give it another try ... his divorce from Maria Shriver was finalized in 2021 ... 10 years after she filed for divorce.
Arnold and Heather have been together since 2013, and they're super tight. They live and travel together, so it's kinda like marriage anyway.
Heather, btw, is a highly successful physical therapist with her own company -- Elite OrthoSport. In fact, they met in 2012 when she was rehabbing Arnold after his shoulder surgery.
They've been traveling the world over the last few weeks, promoting his new self-help book, "Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life."
As for the ring ... well, as Freud would say, sometimes a rock is just a rock.

Drake can now claim he's a King too -- à la Michael Jackson or Elvis -- because he's hit a milestone ... the Recording Industry Association of America says he's sold more single units than anyone. Ever. In history.
Mr. Morgan, Drake's OVO Sound President, made the surprise reveal amid Drizzy's 37th birthday celebrations ... the Canadian rapper is the first artist in RIAA history to surpass 200 million units, and he did it convincingly -- his tally now stands at 220 mil!!!
Some of the biggest wins on his leger include the 2011 album "Take Care," and 2013 smash hit "Started From the Bottom" ... as both inch toward diamond plaques at 8x platinum.
BTW ... RIAA single units include purchases of records, permanent downloads and streams -- all categories Drake regularly crushes with every new release. OIder acts like Elvis, The Beatles and even MJ sold millions upon millions of records ... but Drake tends to beat them by a country mile on digital downloads and streams.
Translation: It's good to be the King.
Another cool stat ... his alt-left dance album, "Honestly, Nevermind" officially cements that all his studio releases have sold at least one million units.

Two tracks from his new album, the J. Cole-featured, "First Person Shooter" and Yeat-featured, "IDGAF" currently sit in the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10 also.
With a catalog this prosperous, it's no wonder Drake is comfortable entering a hiatus from music soon ... to deal with the stomach issues he says are causing him grief.
The time away should give Drake's peers plenty of time to play catch up. 😉

Denver Nuggets We Got Our Rings!! ... Diamonds, Sapphires & Hidden Compartment
They're already on their quest for another, but the Denver Nuggets received their 2023 NBA championship rings before handling the Lakers ... and the bling comes complete with everything from diamonds and sapphires to a hidden compartment.
Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and their Nuggets teammates got their new jewelry during a special on-court ceremony Tuesday night in front of the home crowd at Ball Arena in the Mile High city.
The ring, designed and produced by the undisputed championship ring authority, Jason of Beverly Hills -- is massive ... and awesome.
Jason tells us the piece contains over 16 carats of diamonds, rubies, and blue sapphires which represent the team's colors and the 16 playoff wins it took to win the chip.
The ring also features the Larry O'Brien Trophy, two pickaxes from the Nuggets logo, player's names, jersey number, and the words "World Champion," along with the team's manta, "Bring It On".
The piece also has what Jason describes as "two never before seen design elements" ... the background color of the ring can be changed when a lever is pulled, and there's a hidden compartment that contains a mini championship banner.
"I really wanted to make the ring for the Nuggets," Jason said, "challenging my team to come up with features we knew others just wouldn't think of that would help set our design apart."
"We got player feedback during summer league and were able to include two new design elements that make this ring stand out from anything ever seen before in Championship jewelry."

LeBron James pulled out all the stops for his first fashion statement of the 2023-24 season ... rocking over $28,000 worth of Louis Vuitton for opening night!!
King James -- who is entering his 21st season -- clearly wanted to come up with a special look for the Los Angeles Lakers opening game against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena ... and he certainly didn't disappoint.
The 19-time All-Star forward is covered in Louis V ... from the $5k damoflage tweed chic collarless jacket and $1,250 pants to the $1,220 LV checker derby kicks.
He didn't stop there -- the Speedy Bandouliere 40 he's holding comes with an $11k price tag, and the briefcase will set the Average Joe back another $9,500.
So yeah, Bron's whole look is fit for a king.
BTW, some of those pieces LBJ is wearing are from Pharrell's men's Spring-Summer 2024 collection. The famous producer/rapper became the high-end brand's new men's creative director in February ... and debuted his items in Paris this summer.
James wasn't the only player showing up in style on Tuesday -- Michael Porter Jr. wore a signed Peyton Manning Broncos jersey ... and Peyton Watson was reppin' Deion Sanders with his own autographed "Coach Prime" gear.
High flyer Aaron Gordon also put his interesting taste on display ... going with a sleeveless burgundy blazer and shorts.
As for James' look ... anyone who wants to get their hands on the same items will have to wait just a bit -- pre-order sales start the first week of December.
Guess you can call him Louis Vuitton Bron moving forward!!

LeBron James no escatimó esfuerzos para hacer su primera declaración de moda de la temporada 2023-24, luciendo más de $ 28.000 de Louis Vuitton para la noche de apertura.
King James, que está jugando su 21ª temporada, claramente quería llegar con un look especial para el partido inaugural de Los Angeles Lakers contra los Denver Nuggets en el Ball Arena, y ciertamente no decepcionó.
El delantero y 19 veces All-Star llegó cubierto de Louis V, desde la elegante chaqueta tweed de $5k sin cuello hasta los pantalaones de $1.250 pantalones y los zapatos de $1.220.
Y eso no fue todo, el Speedy Bandouliere 40 que está sosteniendo viene con una etiqueta de $11k y el maletín de otros $9.500.
Así que sí, el look de Bron es digno de un rey.
Por cierto, algunas de las piezas que lleva LeBron James corresponden a la colección masculina primavera-verano 2024 de Pharrell. El famoso productor y rapero se convirtió en el nuevo director creativo masculino de la marca de alta gama en febrero, y debutó con sus artículos en París este verano.
James no fue el único jugador que apareció con estilo este martes, Michael Porter Jr. llevaba una camiseta firmada Peyton Manning de los Broncos y Peyton Watson anduvo de representante de Deion Sanders con su propio atuendo autografiado de "Coach Prime".
Aaron Gordon también puso su interesante gusto en escena. El jugador usó un blazer sin mangas de color burdeos y pantalones cortos.
En cuanto al outfit de James, cualquiera quisiera tener esos mismos artículos en sus manos, pero tendremos que esperar un poco porque la pre-orden de venta comienza la primera semana de diciembre.
¡Supongo que pueden llamarlo Louis Vuitton Bron, de ahora en adelante!
BLUEFACE ¡STRIPPERS EN EL PARTIDO DE LOS RAMS!
Blueface y su nueva prometida Jaidyn Alexis claramente no tienen ningún interés en ver a sus amados L.A. Rams jugar, en su lugar, organizaron una fiesta de strippers en el interior de una suite del SoFi Stadium.
Mientras su música sonaba a través de los altavoces del estadio el domingo, Blueface lanzó cientos de billetes de un dólar mientras un grupo de strippers bailaban twerking y le mostraban sus tangas a la multitud.
Blueface estaba en llamas, incluso le dio instrucciones al chico de la cámara para que pusiera toda la energía mientras que él hacía llover dinero.
El rapero de "Thotiana" no fue tacaño, lanzó un montón de dinero en efectivo a los fans que miraban, así como a las bailarinas. También compartió varias alitas de pollo.
Los fans de los Rams probablemente no deben acostumbrarse a este tipo de escena. Creemos que el personal del estadio no aprobó la rutina.
Sin embargo, esta fiesta no solo incluye bailarinas desnudas, había una propuesta detrás. Así es, Blueface le propuso matrimonio a Jaidyn y ella aceptó felizmente.
Todo el mundo parece estar feliz por ellos, a excepción de Chrisean Rock, que no compartió la misma fortuna el fin de sema.
Ella fue vista en la fiesta de cumpleaños de Loody Boy, bailando twerk con un desconocido.
Felicidades a Blueface y Jaidyn.
