Great video of UFC superstar Amanda Nunes ... strollin' through the airport with her 2 favorite things -- her girlfriend and her CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!!!

Amanda and Nina Ansaroff landed at LAX following Nina's big victory at "UFC Fight Night" in Phoenix on Sunday ... and they were both still riding high off the win.

Nunes also told us she believes she can continue to destroy people like she did Ronda Rousey ... and prove to be even more dominant than Conor McGregor.

As for Ronda ... Nunes says she doesn't feel bad at all for the beatdown she put on the UFC superstar -- but says if Rousey wanted to talk things out, she's down to have a conversation.

Justin Bieber Selena's Using The Weeknd

Justin Bieber can spot an opportunist from a mile away ... at least now he can, and the opportunist is Selena Gomez.

Our Bieber sources tell us ... the singer says he's been there, and believes Selena's using The Weeknd for promotion. Bieber's intel -- and ours -- is that Selena and The Weeknd are working on music together.

We're told Justin feels this is all cookie-cutter stuff ... she did it with him, Nick Jonas, Zedd and now with good ol' Abel. When Selena wants to push new music, it seems she dates stars with whom she wants to collab.

Long story short ... we're told Justin's rolling his eyes at the Selena/Weeknd love story. Can you tell?

Suki Waterhouse I Got My Rogue One Right Here ...

Suki Waterhouse knows age ain't nothing but a number when you're with a hotshot like Diego Luna on his home turf.

Paps got the British model hanging out with the 'Rogue One' star in Tulum, Mexico over the weekend, and they looked pretty comfortable with each other ... especially Diego's right hand.

He's more than 10 years her senior -- Suki's just 25. But hey ... may the force be with 'em.

Selena Gomez Shield Your Eyes ... But Slow Down!

Selena Gomez found a new way to tell paps to talk to the hand ... but along the way, she pulled a Bieber and almost went off course.

Paps got Selena Sunday night leaving Terroni in L.A., and she really wasn't having it with their questions about backstabbing Bella Hadid by swooping in on The Weeknd.

She also looked a lot like her own ex trying to navigate to the car ... thank God for those handlers.

Bella Hadid Backstabbed and Betrayed by Selena

Bella Hadid believes Selena Gomez did her dirty by dating The Weeknd behind her back.

Sources close to Bella tell TMZ she feels betrayed because her ex and Selena hooked up almost immediately after Bella and Weeknd ended their relationship.

Here's where it gets interesting. We're told it was actually Bella who pulled the plug 2 months ago, because the bi-coastal relationship was just too difficult. Nevertheless, the breakup hurt.

Also interesting ... a Selena source says the thing between Selena and Bella's ex is 2 months old. They even spent the holidays together.

Bella is especially incensed because she and sister Gigi helped Selena when she was on the skids dealing with numerous emotional and other issues.

And there's more. Despite the 2-month relationship, Selena never uttered a peep about it to Gigi, who's her best friend. Gigi and Bella found out about it when they saw the pics on TMZ. And that's when Bella unfollowed Selena on Instagram.

As one Bella source put it, "Giving Bella and Gigi a heads up would have been the respectful and honorable thing to do ... but I guess that's just Hollywood."

We got Jennings (full disclosure, he played most of his career with Green Bay) out in D.C., and asked who he thinks is gonna win the big Dallas/Green Bay showdown on Sunday.

Bad news for Cowboys fans ... HE SAID YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE ... and went on to give totally logical reasons why the dream season is over in Big D.

Cheer up 'Boys fans, you guys will probably do fine ... as long as you get Zeke a driver for the rest of the week.

Randy Moss' Baby Mama Denies Blowing $4 Mil On Drugs 'I've Been Clean For Years'

Randy Moss' baby mama is calling BS on the ex-NFL receiver after he claimed she blew $4 MILLION on drugs ... telling TMZ Sports, "I've been clean for years."

Moss called out his ex on Twitter last month ... claiming the mother of his 5 children refused to get treatment for a drug addiction in order to see her kids.

We spoke to Libby Offutt ... who says Moss' allegations are completely untrue and an attempt to keep her from seeing her children.

"I went to rehab TEN years ago and have been clean ever since," Offutt says. "He’s just saying that to keep the kids. I’d be dead if I spent $4 million on drugs. Where’s his proof?”

Offutt -- who provided us with documentation of recently passed drug tests -- says she believes Moss unleashed the Twitter rant because he was upset she tried to connect with the kids around Xmas.

“I drove 4 hours on the 26th to take my kids their Christmas presents and his wife wouldn’t let me see the kids or even leave their presents for them."

"He was mad and acted very immature, saying false things that the children are gonna read eventually, subjecting them to more unnecessary emotional stress. And why bash the woman that brought 5 of your children into this world?!"

"He should have respect for me. Not try and publicly harm me.”

Gilbert Arenas Sues Laura Govan Your Lawyer Brought Up Old STD Stuff Again!

Gilbert Arenas is gunning for his ex-wife in court for repeating an STD claim about him that already cost her $110k ... TMZ has learned.

The ex-NBA star filed a defamation lawsuit against Laura Govan, as well as her attorney, Maya Shulman, over a December blog post about the longstanding war between the exes. In the post, Shulman said Laura was "stating a fact" when she accused Gilbert of giving her an STD.

As we reported, Gilbert won a hefty defamation judgement against Laura over that very allegation. In the new suit, he says Laura and her attorney clearly didn't learn their lesson -- and the December comment constitutes another instance of smearing his good name.

He says Shulman dug her own grave when she issued a retraction -- in the comments section of the blog -- admitting she doesn't "know any 'fact' that supports" Laura's STD claims. Gilbert says it proves she knowingly made a false statement.

He adds the retraction didn't come until 2 weeks later, and was NOT prominent on the site. He's suing both women for damages.

We reached out to Shulman, but haven't heard back.

UFC champ Tyron Woodley says he REALLY does believe the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight will happen ... but if it doesn't, he's willing to step in for a fraction of the price!

Woodley joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Wednesday night on FS1) -- and was pretty strong about why he believes the two sides will hammer out a deal.

Selena Gomez Making Out with The Weeknd ... Awkward Much?

The Weeknd is bouncing back from Bella Hadid just fine by making out with Selena Gomez.

Selena was seen hanging all over The Weeknd Tuesday night outside Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica -- getting handsy and mouthy with the singer. We don't know how long this has been going on, but they're definitely a thing ... based on these pics.

There's potential drama here -- Selena's pals with Gigi Hadid ... so her sister, Bella, might have a thing or 2 to say about the hookup.

But as they say, the heart wants what it wants. Same goes for Selena's hands.

Charlie Sheen Trump Presidency Will Crash & Burn ... Legally Speaking

HE WON'T LAST
TMZ.com

Donald Trump's opponents better get their jabs in now, 'cause they won't have him in the White House for too long ... if renowned political pundit Charlie Sheen is right.

When we got Charlie at LAX he went off about Meryl Streep's attack on Trump, and quickly piled on ... calling out the Prez-elect for missing 2 key qualities.

As for the nation moving forward -- Charlie sees only one word in Trump's future. Think Tricky Dick or Bubba.

It's interesting -- some huge celebs, like Oprah, have held their tongues on Trump for fear of incurring his Twitter wrath. Clearly, that ain't Charlie.

Paris Hilton El Nuevo Boy Toy ... Muy Guapo

Paris Hilton picked up something new in Mexico ... and he's a total stud.

Paris is hanging in Tulum this week with a mystery man. Here's what we know about him so far -- he likes walks on the beach in his jeans ... and rolling around with Paris. Not necessarily in that order.

Looks like P is putting the breakup with whatshisname behind her. What's that saying about the best way to get over one guy?

Paris is a believer.

Ex-NBA Champ I Saw Charles Oakley SLAP Charles Barkley In The Face!

HOW IT WENT DOWN
Jerseys & Dress Shirts

Charles Oakley straight -up OPEN HAND SLAPPED Charles Barkley in the face during a 1999 off-the-court encounter ... so says ex-NBA champ Chucky Brown.

In fact, Chucky says he watched the entire thing ... and says Barkley got punked hard.

Chucky gave the blow-by-blow on the "Jerseys & Dress Shirts" podcast with MJ and Dale "The Lawyer" ... explaining how it unfolded in a hallway before an NBA player's union meeting.

In case you didn't know ... Oakley and Barkley had bad blood for years. They famously fought on the court in a pre-season game in 1996.

Brown says Barkley refuses to acknowledge the incident. We're reaching out to his reps anyway.

The entire interview airs January 13.

Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Birthday Blowup Led to Breakup

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill broke up after a nuclear fight during her birthday weekend last month ... and it wasn't about cheating.

Sources close to the ex-couple tell us ... they weren't getting along in Turks and Caicos, because he was hanging with friends and not paying attention to her. She went nuts on him, he got pissed and left the island without her, and she said, "Screw this," and ended the relationship. Just that simple.

There are reports Meek had been cheating with a woman named Sonye Rasool and that's what set off Nicki. A source close to Sonye tells us she and Meek hooked up years before Nicki, but she fully denies any cheating. We're told Sonye's about to file defamation lawsuits against several outlets.

We're also told Sonye understands truth is a defense, but she has no fear.

It's interesting ... the breakup appears to be over the small stuff, which makes you wonder if the door is still open.

'Stranger Things' Star Stephen King's Writing For Us? Maybe In the Upside Down

NOT A CHANCE
TMZ.com

Stephen King might be a master writer of horror, but he's not getting his grubby pen on the "Stranger Things" script ... so says the guy playing Chief Jim Hopper.

We got actor David Harbour out Saturday at the the Four Seasons Hotel in Bev Hills, where he addressed a rumor about King penning Season 2's script head on.

Sounds like Steve might have missed the boat.

J Lo & Drake All Hugged Up For Nobu Date

Drake and Jennifer Lopez took their relationship to the next level with a dinner date in Malibu Thursday night -- but it's debatable about whether it's a romantic move.

The new couple was surrounded by their combined entourages outside Nobu, and they were arm-in-arm as they cruised into the restaurant. They definitely look cozy together, but is it a "we're banging" ... or a "we are family" kinda cozy?

Check out the pics and decide for yourself.
