O.J. Simpson went to prison for robbing a guy at gunpoint -- and in the wake of his death, the victim from that case says he's gonna miss The Juice ... yes, seriously.

Bruce Fromong -- whom O.J. confronted in 2007 with a bunch of goons in tow in an attempt to recover sports memorabilia he believed had been stolen from him -- tells TMZ ... it's a sad time right now for family and friends of O.J.'s, and for those who really knew him.

He tells us O.J. was a good father and a good man, and that he "will be sorely missed by many." Fromong not only forgave O.J. -- he befriended him too.

Believe it or not, there was a point in Tom Brady's life where he wouldn't have minded being more like Tommy Lee ... saying this month his childhood crush was none other than the drummer's ex, Pamela Anderson!

Brady made the revelation while he was getting a haircut from VicBlends ... on the social media star barber's "DeepCut" podcast which is produced by Shadow Lion.

Vic, who fired questions at the future Hall of Famer for around an hour as he trimmed the former quarterback's hair, asked straight up ... who did TB12 fantasize about when he was a youngster??

Brady paused for a brief moment ... before he admitted it was none other than Anderson.

The 25-year-old scissor wizard -- real name Victor Fontanez -- didn't have much of a clue who that was ... which surprised Brady.

He told the young entrepreneur she was the star of "Baywatch" ... adding, "She was nice!"

He then implored Vic's dad to "show your son" what he was missing.

Tom -- who's now 47 years old -- would have been in his mid-to-late teens at arguably the height of Anderson's acting career ... which means there might have been at least some chance the ex-Patriots signal-caller could have had a realistic shot with her at some point.

But Brady, of course, never ended up on Anderson's radar ... he dated Bridget Moynahan in his 20s ... before he ultimately married Gisele Bundchen in his 30s.

Brady, however, is single now ... and 56-year-old Anderson appears to be as well -- so it ain't too late, we suppose!

Ex-NFL superstar Todd Gurley says the football community lost an all-time great in O.J. Simpson ... praising the former running back for being like family to him.

"RIP To The Legendary O.J. Simpson," the former Rams All-Pro said on Thursday. "Your favorite RB favorite RB ... Appreciate you Uncle O/Juice you'll be missed."

Gurley didn't just acknowledge Simpson's success on the field ... he also made note of his recent endeavors -- including his usual appearances as an analyst on rappers Cam'Ron and Ma$e's "It Is What It Is" podcast.

"Thanks for the past year being on It Is What It Is!!," Gurley added. "Heisman, #1 pick, NFL MVP & the first ever 2000 yard rusher let alone to do it in 14games the list goes on & on!🙏🏾🕊️."

Gurley isn't alone in mourning Simpson's death ... as we previously reported, numerous pros took to social media to share positive messages on the former Bills star -- and retired receiver Torrey Smith called on news outlets to show more respect by avoiding using images from his infamous trial.

Some social media users have taken issue with their support ... after all, despite his acquittal in the criminal case, he was found liable for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in the civil case.

Caitlyn Jenner -- who used to be tight with Simpson -- sided with those upset over all the love for O.J. on Wednesday ... saying simply, "Good riddance."

O.J. Simpson's death might have shocked the world ... but, it didn't come as a surprise to his close friends -- who TMZ has learned came to Las Vegas to say their final farewells.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... those who remained in O.J.'s inner circle flew into Vegas over the last week to see him before he passed. Unclear exactly how many friends, or who showed up, but we're told a handful of people came to Sin City and got to see O.J.

We're told Simpson was communicating just fine and was able to talk with his pals ... but, our sources say they all knew the end was coming, and that this would be their last chance to get some face time.

La muerte de O.J. Simpson puede haber conmocionado al mundo, pero no a sus amigos cercanos, quienes volaron hasta Las Vegas para despedirse, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que los amigos que permanecían en el círculo íntimo de O.J. viajaron a Las Vegas durante la última semana para verlo antes de morir. No está claro cuántos amigos exactamente o quiénes se presentaron, pero nos dicen que un puñado de personas llegó a la ciudad del pecado y logró ver a O.J.

Nos dicen que Simpson se podía comunicar bien y pudo conversar con sus amigos, aunque nuestras fuentes dicen que todos sabían que el final estaba cerca y que esta sería su última oportunidad para estar con él cara a cara.

Brittany Mahomes has debuted a fiery new look ... ditching her classic blonde locks for bright red hair, and she honestly looks like a whole other person.

Patrick Mahomes' wife shared her hair transformation with her followers Wednesday, posting a series of close-up pics to her feed. Brittany was clearly feeling the look -- as she beamed while posing in a black crop top and jeans. She added ... "Feeling spicy."

While it's unclear if BM simply dyed her hair or if she's rocking a wig, -- she credited hairstylist Laura Beth Cabott for the noteworthy new 'do. Laura Beth has worked with Brittany on a number of occasions, including last year's Met Gala and the 2023 ESPYS.

Rashee Rice is now officially a wanted man in Texas ... cops just announced they've issued an arrest warrant for the Chiefs star after he was involved in that massive car crash in Dallas last month.

Officials from the Dallas Police Dept. said in a statement Wednesday Rice is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and six counts of collision involving injury ... this after he admitted to driving one of the cars -- a matte black Lamborghini -- that caused a huge pileup on a highway on March 30.

Theodore Knox -- the man accused of driving the other car, a Corvette -- was also issued an arrest warrant ... and faces the same charges as Rice.

10:23 AM PT -- Suggs, through EAG Sports rep Denise White, issued a statement on the incident to TMZ Sports ... and Terrell says he was in fear for his safety.

"I was in a quiet area of Scottsdale in the middle of the day in a Starbucks drive-thru near my home when an incident happened with a vehicle behind me. I was getting coffee, I was not looking for any trouble," TS said.

"When the man in the other vehicle escalated the situation, I feared for my safety not knowing what his intentions were. Throughout the incident, I was the one who felt in danger, while fearing I would be followed home and for the safety of my family nearby at my residence."

TMZ Sports has learned Terrell Suggs' arrest on Tuesday stemmed from a March incident in which he allegedly brandished a gun and threatened to kill a man during an argument at a Scottsdale, Arizona Starbucks.

Travis Kelce todavía está tratando de entender cómo se metió en la relación favorita de América con Taylor Swift, bromeando esta semana con que no sabe cómo diablos lo hizo!!!

La superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs se sinceró sobre su romance con la mayor estrella del pop mundial mientras hablaba con Lil Dicky en el último episodio de "New Heights" y el rapero presumiera de lo mucho que adora a la famosa pareja.

Dicky, cuyo nombre real es Dave Burd, dijo que sentía que la relación era "tan americana", añadiendo: "Cualquier persona que la odie es un perdedor amargo".

Travis Kelce's still trying to figure out how he got himself into America's favorite relationship with Taylor Swift ... joking this week, "I don't know how the f*** I did it!!"

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar opened up on his romance with the world's biggest popstar while chatting with Lil Dicky on the latest episode of "New Heights" -- after the rapper had gushed about how much he loves the famous couple.

Dicky -- real name Dave Burd -- said he felt the 'ship was "so American" ... adding, "Anyone who, like, hates on it is a bitter loser."

Morgan Wallen is still winning awards despite his recent arrest ... although this one might not go on the mantel -- the country superstar was just named Antonio Brown's "Cracker of the Day."

The controversial Super Bowl champ is known to hand out the prestigious honor (sarcasm) on his X account ... but the criteria isn't all about being white, as future NFL first-overall pick Caleb Williams got the nod last month.

Brown explained why Wallen deserved his "COTD" on Wednesday ... saying it was all thanks to the "Last Night" crooner allegedly chucking a chair off a rooftop bar patio in Nashville on Sunday.

8:09 AM PT -- Details surrounding Terrell Suggs' arrest are still scarce ... although a spokesperson for the Scottsdale Police Dept. -- which made the arrest Tuesday -- said it all stemmed from an incident that was reported to authorities back on March 10.

Former NFL superstar Terrell Suggs has been arrested in Arizona, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Jail records show the seven-time Pro Bowler was booked late Tuesday night in Maricopa County on two charges -- one count of assault and one count of offense against public order.

T'Vondre Sweat is fortunate to have been able to walk out of jail this weekend under his own power ... because cops say the top NFL draft prospect was involved in a rollover car crash just hours before he was thrown behind bars.

New Austin Police Department documents we obtained state that Sweat's 2023 orange Ford Bronco flipped on its side after it collided with a 2020 blue Dodge sports car on a Texas highway at around 4:41 AM on Sunday.

In the docs, cops state the Dodge hit the Bronco from behind, causing it to lose control, roll over, and eventually come to a stop on its right side.

Popular YouTuber Deestroying's football comeback has hit a serious roadblock -- the internet personality just revealed he fractured his neck during a UFL game over the weekend ... and now, his focus is on getting back to 100 percent.

The moment went down during the San Antonio Brahmas' Week 2 matchup against the Memphis Showboats ... when Donald De La Hoye attempted a tackle while defending a kickoff return.

Dee appeared a bit shaken up by the play ... but managed to get up on his own power and trot back to the sidelines.

The Brahmas announced he was placed on Injured Reserve ... but on Tuesday, Dee revealed the extent of his ailment -- as well as a selfie that showed him in a brace.

"Thank y'all for all the good wishes," Dee said minutes ago. "Turns out on that tackle, due to bad form, I fractured my neck in a couple places."

"Although this sucks, I'm grateful cause it could have been all bad," he added.

Dee hopes his young fans use this as a learning lesson ... calling on them to practice better tackling form to avoid injury.

Of course, Dee lost out on his college football dreams years ago ... when the NCAA put a stop to his career at Central Florida over monetizing off his YouTube channel.

He finally got a shot with The Rock's new league ... and he was taking advantage of it so far, being one of the top-performing kickers in Week 1.
