Michael Irvin says someone stole one of his favorite pieces of jewelry -- a diamond necklace with TONS of sentimental value -- and he's mortified that it's now gone.
The Dallas Cowboys legend lamented losing the piece to his social media followers on Wednesday ... saying the ice was jacked by a thief in Miami last weekend.
Irvin says when he was returning to his hotel from a Univ. of Miami football event ... he set his black Louie Vuitton bag down -- which had his necklace in it -- to interact with some fans.
Irvin claims while he was sidetracked ... a man grabbed the bag and bolted.
Michael pleaded with his followers to help find the scumbag and return his stuff, but the former NFL superstar seemed to believe Wednesday there was no hope of getting it back.
And, Irvin said he was straight-up depressed over it, because his chain was PRICELESS to him.
"I have to come out of this depression. So I am sharing with ALL," Irvin said. "This is my necklace that was in my bag. I designed it as a first down chain, holding an all diamond football, which is holding an all diamond cross."
"On each end of the cross are diamonds I acquired at the birth of my children Myesha, Chelsea, Michael and Elijah. It was a piece I built over my life that represents. Faith, Family and Football and my own sentimental way of praying to GOD please always protect my babies."
Irvin added, "I am so hurt its gone."
It's unclear if authorities are still on the hunt for the thief. Irvin had earlier offered a reward for any information regarding the heist.

Dionne Warwick New Meditation Biz Sounds So Right!!!

Dionne Warwick's smooth sound has made her a music icon, and it's also why she's perfectly suited for her new biz venture ... which is all about bathing in sound. Seriously.
We're told Dionne will soon open a sound bath center dubbed The Ohm Zone in partnership with her son Damon, and "Sweet Tooth" star Dania Ramirez ... who's also known for her role as the Avion girl and Turtle's GF on "Entourage."
For the uninitiated ... a sound bath is a type of meditation exercise complemented by musical techniques to form soothing, overlapping vibrations.
It's also known as sound healing, which helps release stress, anxiety, depression ... ailments that could trigger more serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
The triple Ds -- Dionne, Damon and Dania -- are setting up shop in Venice, CA, and we're told the building is set up like a private spa and healing temple. The experience will be soothing, and include a customized frequency for you to listen to while relaxing in a bath.
The whole experience lasts about 90 minutes.
We're told Dionne got into this shortly after her son's widow-maker heart attack in 2016 -- both of them started learning about and applying the holistic treatment.
And, given Dionne's decorated career in music, it made perfect sense for her to jump on this opportunity.
We're told the sound bath center had previously been used as a recording studio ... and Dionne and co. have plans to eventually use parts of the building for that again.

The couple got peppered with dozens of baby-related questions -- really, you'd think they were walking into a family reunion. One question our guy asked was about Kulture's reaction to the news she's gonna be a big sis.
We also asked Offset if he'll be in a giving mood when the baby arrives -- and the answer's yes! He's got a Cuban celebration in mind.
We tried to get some other deets about Cardi's pregnancy ... like how far along she is, cravings, baby names??? They're not ready to spill all that just yet, but they couldn't look happier that their family's expanding.
As we reported, Cardi revealed the huge surprise Sunday night during the BET Awards. She didn't have to say a word ... her baby bump was on display and it did all the talking.

Jodie Sweetin Ex-Hubby Wants Full Payments ... She's Still Making Bank!!!

Jodie Sweetin's still making plenty of money to support her kid with her ex-husband, or at the very least -- she has much fuller pockets than him ... so he claims in new legal docs.
The "Fuller House" star's ex, Morty Coyle, is firing back at her request to reduce child support payments to him because she claims her income dropped due to the pandemic and her show getting canceled. The ex-couple shares custody of their 10-year-old daughter, Beatrix.
According to the docs ... Morty claims Jodie's request should be denied because she's continued to work as an actress and made at least $200k last year.
He's also accusing her of not disclosing her financial situation accurately, and calls BS on her claim to have no "foreseeable work" in the future -- even noting she makes additional money from sending messages to fans on Cameo.
Morty claims Jodie is currently working on a TV show in New York ... while he's been taking care of their daughter.
He also says he's been impacted by the COVID pandemic because he works as a DJ ... which led to him relying on unemployment checks. Morty says any reduction of child support would have a negative impact on their child, so he's asking the judge to deny her attempt to lower payments.
We broke the story ... Jodie was ordered to cough up $2,800 per month to Morty in late 2017, after their divorce was finalized a year earlier.

Singer Steve Lawrence Son Accused of Exploiting His Dementia

Exclusive

Steve Lawrence -- one half of iconic '50s duo, Steve and Eydie -- has fallen victim to his son's scheme to take control of his fortune, all while the singer is suffering from dementia ... so claims Steve's longtime companion.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Judy Tannen says she's worked with Steve for 64 years -- since his early Steve and Eydie days along with his then-wife, Eydie Gorme.
Judy claims she was not only a manager for the couple, but became like a family member, and after Eydie's death in 2013 ... she and Steve "leaned heavily on each other for emotional support and companionship," and have lived together as companions since 2014.
According to the docs, Judy claims Steve's estate plan allows her to live in his home for 5 years after he dies, and she's set to inherit 50 percent of the Steve and Eydie music biz. The other half, according to the docs, will go to Steve's son, David.
Here's where things get interesting. Judy says Steve's suffering from dementia -- he announced he was battling Alzheimer's in 2019 -- and she claims he's unaware David is "malevolently keeping Judy from fulfilling her promise to take care of Steve through thick and thin."
Judy claims it all started when she was hospitalized in February with COVID-19. She alleges David used that as an opportunity to have her stripped of all her rights to care for Steve.
According to the docs, Judy claims David's also refusing to allow her to return to the home she's shared with Steve for years ... essentially isolating them from each other, aside from a few visits.
She also claims in the docs that David is selling off Steve's major assets -- like a home in Las Vegas and an apartment in L.A. -- and has spent $74,000 of his dad's money to make a record.
Judy -- along with attorney Adam Streisand, who's representing her pro bono -- is asking the court to grant her power of attorney and strip David of his powers in order to protect Steve.
We've reached out to David.

Drake & Michael B. Jordan We're Here to See Bronny James!!! Courtside for HS Hoops
Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers got eliminated from the playoffs, the hottest ticket in town has been to see the Clippers Sierra Canyon Trailblazers play ball.
Drake and Michael B. Jordan showed up Thursday night to watch Bronny James -- LeBron's 16-year-old son -- take on the Etiwanda Eagles in their regional semi-final basketball game.

They might as well have been watching the Lakers in the Finals though, as they were really getting into the action from their courtside seats ... cheering on Bronny and Sierra Canyon's other star -- UCLA commit, Amari Bailey.
At one point in the first half, Drake was seen giving Bailey a pep talk, and it must have worked, because he did his best to keep the Trailblazers in it, leading the team with 37 points.
I mean… is this what your high school basketball games looked like? @Drake, @michaelb4jordan and plays like this… doesn’t get much better 🏀✨ pic.twitter.com/ZsmuyKgZ6u

Bronny didn't score much other than a late three, but it wasn't enough in the end -- Sierra Canyon got beat 82-76 and lost out on a place in the regional final to end their season.
Of course, this wasn't the first Bronny game to draw a star-studded crowd. Just last week ... his famous father attended and brought along some past teammates -- J.R. Smith and Jared Dudley. Drake was there for that one too.

That game was Bronny's first of the season after missing most of it because of a torn meniscus he suffered in February. It was also a loss, so it's worth noting ... Sierra Canyon was 0-2 this season when Drake was in attendance. Hmm ... maybe the curse is back.
LeBron's son is just a sophomore -- a 4-star recruit in the Class of 2023 -- so expect plenty more high-profile games next season.

Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner Back on 'Wifey' Terms at NYC Gala!!! But Stormi Steals Show
Travis Scott is publicly confirming what we knew -- he and Kylie Jenner are back together, and they're so tight he's calling her "wifey," and turning date nights into family outings.
Kylie and their daughter Stormi flew to NYC Tuesday and got all cozy with Travis while he was being honored at the 72nd annual Parsons Benefit for his contributions to fashion, design, entrepreneurship, the arts and social justice.
Stormi damn near upstaged her parents, smiling for cameras as the whole fam -- dressed to the nines, mind you -- headed into the event.
During his acceptance speech ... the rapper reportedly gushed and said, "Stormi, I love you and wifey, I love you." They also walked the red carpet together as a family ... and Kylie later posted a pic on IG with Travis fully embracing her with his arms wrapped around her.
By all reports, Travis and Kylie were all over each other during the evening ... holding hands and acting all lovey-dovey.
As we reported ... they recently rekindled things and went from simply co-parenting to full-on dating, but not exclusively. However, Travis calling her "wifey" again feels like they might be taking things to the next level.
They'd broken up in late 2019 but lately, we've seen them enjoying family hangouts ... like taking Stormi to Disneyland. Prior to that, they had a triple date night with the Biebers and Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker -- and Kylie flew to Miami to celebrate Trav's bday with him.
