FRESH CUT
@obj / Instagram

New championship bling, new baby, new knee ligament ... and now, new hair?!?!

Odell Beckham Jr. just underwent yet another huge change in his life ... shaving off his famous mohawk on Tuesday.

The L.A. Rams star put his fresh 'do on display in a video on his Instagram ... revealing his purple curls are no more.

"New toppp," OBJ said in a caption on the clip.

The new look comes just over two weeks after he won the Super Bowl, just over one week after his model girlfriend, Lauren Wood, gave birth to their baby, and just days after he had surgery to repair the ligament he tore during February's Big Game.

Beckham said on IG after all the changes and before the haircut that he was excited for all the new chapters in his life.

"U better believe imma be back," he wrote, "and imma be back better than ever before. I mean that Shxt from the bottom of my heart."

Super Bowl LVI Woman Sues SoFi Stadium ... Alleges She Suffered Life-Altering Injuries

A Los Angeles woman says she was unable to see her Rams hoist the Lombardi Trophy after spending nearly $9,000 on tickets to the Super Bowl ... claiming she suffered "life-altering injuries" during the big game -- and now she's suing SoFi Stadium.

Rams fan Lita Abella made the allegations in a lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ Sports -- claiming she missed the rest of the game due to an incident in the third quarter.

In the docs, Abella claims she was sitting in her seat when she "suddenly, and without warning," felt a forcible blow to the back of her head.

Abella says the impact was so strong, it forced her out of her assigned seat and sent her flying into the back of another seat rows ahead.

In the suit, the woman alleges that a man lost his balance and fell after "high fiving" another man ... causing him to fall into where Abella had been sitting, which resulted in her face and head colliding with another seat.

The woman says she suffered gnarly injuries -- including a concussion, orbital fracture, fractured nose, and fractured shoulder -- and ended up missing the trophy ceremony because she was in the hospital.

Abella is accusing SoFi Stadium of negligence and premises liability -- saying the stadium was ultimately responsible for what she describes as the "dangerous and defectively planned" seating which led to her injuries.

She's suing for unspecified damages.

We've reached out to reps for SoFi Stadium for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

'Hollyweed' Creator 'Rams House' Sign Was a Fail ... City Shoulda Called Me!!!

L.A.'s Super Bowl celebration deserves a big fat penalty flag ... at least according to the infamous "Hollyweed" vandal who says the city screwed up its Hollywood sign overhaul.

As you know, the "Rams House" overlay went viral after the big game -- mostly because it took forever to complete -- and fans were, at best, split on the end result. Well, Zach "Jesushands" Fernandez isn't even that complimentary, and insists the project could've gone way better ... with his help!

GREAT IDEA, POOR EXECUTION
TMZ.com

Of course, Zach vandalized the Hollywood Sign back in 2017, turning it into "Hollyweed" to celebrate Cali legalizing recreational marijuana -- and from what he could see, the "Rams House" sign fell short of the high bar he'd set.

He told TMZ ... "When I first saw it, I couldn't even make out what it said. That was a really bad first impression, I guess."

His final impression wasn't much better, with Zach calling it "more of a disgrace."

Zach knows what he's talking about when it comes to dressing up the big sign, saying the material and color of the fabric was a poor choice ... as the light was bound to shine right through it.

If the Rams repeat as Super Bowl champs -- as several players suggested during the victory parade -- he has alternative options.

L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti announced the overlay after the Rams took down the Cincinnati Bengals at Super Bowl LVI. What was supposed to be a one-day project ended up taking 3 ... narrowly making it up for Wednesday's parade.

Not shockingly, Zach says he was never asked to help out -- after all, he was arrested for trespassing after his stunt. Still, he says if the price is right, he'd be down.

Not all heroes wear capes ... or have clean records.

Super Bowl Parade Stranded Rams Catch Ride From Fan ... Right After Celebration

021822_los_angeles_rams_ride_kal
HITCHIN' A RIDE
TMZSports.com

Four stranded Rams players who badly needed a ride to LAX following the Super Bowl parade on Wednesday caught a lift from a generous fan ... and they rewarded the guy for the gesture with nearly $1,000!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... just after the Rams' parade settled down at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, Joe Noteboom, Taylor Rapp, Nick Scott and Jake Gervase somehow found themselves without a ride.

That was quite the problem -- 'cause they had to be at the airport ASAP to catch a plane that was set to take them to Las Vegas to continue their championship celly.

Blest with the ClockedIn Worldwide Team tells us he saw the players trying to flag down fans to give them a lift ... so he pulled up in his BMW -- and the dudes jumped in!!

Blest says the guys were super cool throughout the ride ... even when he had to make a pitstop for gas on the way. Check out the video, they all seemed to be in a great mood!

In all, the ride ended up being about half an hour -- and Blest got them to their terminal with enough time for the guys to catch their flight.

We're told each player handed Blest about $200 apiece for his time ... and thanked him as they took off for Sin City.

What a Wednesday afternoon.

Rams, Staffords Cover Hospital Bills, Cam Costs ... After Photog Fractures Spine

SCARY FALL
TMZSports.com
UPDATE

1:10 PM PT -- The Rams and Staffords released a joint statement on Thursday ... saying they have been in constant contact with the photog.

UPDATE

"As we told Kelly, we will be covering all her hospital bills and replacing her cameras. We wish her a speedy recovery."

UPDATE

It's unclear what will happen to the GoFundMe set up for Kelly ... as it quickly reached its goal. It's currently at $41,000 and climbing.

A woman fell from the stage at the L.A. Rams' Super Bowl parade on Wednesday ... and the spill was so nasty, she says she suffered a fractured spine and broke her cameras in the fall.

The incident happened toward the end of the celebration in Los Angeles ... when Kelly Smiley tripped while appearing to take a photo of Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly Stafford.

In video, obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see Smiley accidentally walked backward off the front of the stage while snapping pics ... and tumbled to the ground some 10 feet below.

Matthew Stafford was seen walking away from it all in the footage ... while Kelly Stafford was spotted walking toward the woman to get help.

Eventually, Smiley was taken to a nearby hospital, where she said testing revealed she suffered a broken back in the tumble.

UPDATES FROM THE HOSPITAL

In a GoFundMe set up to help Smiley pay her medical bills, her friends said she also "severely damaged" her professional photography gear. The GoFundMe has an initial goal of raising $30,000.

Fortunately, Smiley posted on her social media pages that she was "feeling ok" ... but she added that she was staying at the medical facility overnight for further evaluation.

Sean McVay Not Retiring!!! ... Says Fiancée

Sean McVay isn't walking away from the NFL just yet -- the L.A. Rams coach's fiancée says he's NOT retiring after winning the Super Bowl.

The rumors have been swirling regarding the 36-year-old football genius' next move after beating the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday ... with McVay being super non-committal about returning to the sidelines for the 2022 season.

McVay -- who became the Rams' head coach in 2017 -- expressed his interest in starting a family ... and winning a Super Bowl would make it easier to hang up the headset.

021722_sean_mcvay_kal2
McVay is Mc-Home

But, Veronika Khomyn is here to squash all doubt about a return ... going to Instagram to let everyone know her man WILL be back to defend his title.

"Finally get my man back," Veronika said on Wednesday. "And no. He is NOT retiring!!!"

It may seem like a no-brainer -- after all, Von Miller and Aaron Donald told TMZ Sports yesterday they're ready to run it back as long as the whole squad is back together.

The Rams won't have to rebuild, so they're instantly one of the favorites to win it all.

But, a broadcasting job also sounds like a sweet gig -- a lot less work and a much bigger paycheck -- so retirement was a legit option if McVay was satisfied with his career.

Thanks to the future Mrs. McVay, we can put all speculation to rest.

Von Miller Aaron Donald & I Will Be Back ... And We're Going To Win Rams Another Ring!!!

BACK-TO-BACK!!!
TMZSports.com

Rams fans are going to love this ...

Von Miller tells TMZ Sports both he AND Aaron Donald will return to Los Angeles next season ... promising that they're going to "run that s**t back!"

Von made the proclamation while leaving the team's Super Bowl parade on Wednesday afternoon ... saying he and Donald are going to be like Shaq and Kobe -- and another unique duo -- in L.A. next season.

"Like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson!" Miller joked with us.

Of course, prior to Wednesday's celebration, neither guy had committed to playing for the Rams next season.

Von is a free agent and has no deal in place to come back for 2022. Donald, meanwhile, is reportedly mulling retirement.

IF THEY'RE BACK, I'M BACK
TMZSports.com

When we asked Donald about his future shortly after we spoke with Von ... he said he's down to come back -- as long as superstars like Miller and Odell Beckham Jr. (who's also a free agent) return too.

As for the after-party ... Von said he and some of the guys have plans to hit up Vegas and golf all weekend.

Enjoy it, champs!

Van Jefferson Super Bowl Baby: Wynn Or Miles?!?

FATHER KNOWS BEST
TMZSports.com

L.A. Rams receiver Van Jefferson says he's still brainstorming with his wife over what they'll name their Super Bowl baby ... telling TMZ Sports it could either be Wynn or Miles!!!

Remember, Van's beautiful wife, Samaria, was stretchered out of SoFi Stadium DURING Super Bowl LVI ... and gave birth to their baby boy shortly after.

Fresh off the win over the Bengals, Jefferson was able to dash to the medical facility to get introduced to his new son.

Given the incredibly unique circumstances, VJ and Samaria had victory on their minds when considering names ... but there's one other that might come out on top.

We asked Jefferson's teammate, Robert Woods, if he had any suggestions -- but he was tight-lipped. BTW -- shoutout to RW's new daughter, Shi, who made her TMZ debut at the Rams' Super Bowl parade and rally on Wednesday!!

But, if Van and Samaria decide to go with Wynn, it's got Woods' stamp of approval.

L.A. Rams Cussin' Up A Storm ... Lit Super Bowl Rally!!!

The L.A. Rams let the expletives fly as they celebrated their big Super Bowl win  ... with defensive coordinator Raheem Morris telling the crowd to "Stand the f*** up!!!"

A ton of the champs grabbed the mic at the rally following an hour-long parade ... and sorry, kids -- there was some adult language.

Sean McVay, Aaron Donald and Von Miller accidentally let the s-word slip as well. OOPS!!!

Rams GM Les Snead even had a swear word on his shirt -- wearing "F*** them picks" on his chest to joke about the team trading away all their draft picks.

It's not the end of the world -- after all, who cares about a few cuss words when L.A.'s got the Lombardi Trophy!!

Stafford was getting lit on the stage ... downing a shot of 1942 while hyping up the crowd.

The parade was pretty dope, too -- Cooper Kupp paid homage to Kobe Bryant with his wardrobe choice ... and Odell Beckham and others sprayed a ton of folks with champagne.

Stafford's wife, Kelly, kept the drinks pouring throughout the day for everyone -- and it might make sense why some of the guys were apologizing for their slurred speech.

And after all the partying, Terrell Burgess, Ogbo Okoronkwo and David Long Jr. even shotgunned an energy drink ... 'cause, gotta keep the party goin'!

Hollywood Sign Finally Turns Into 'Rams House' ... Still Looks Bad

UPDATE

10:59 AM PT -- 2/16 -- FINALLY -- just in time for the Rams' victory parade, the iconic Hollywood sign now reads "RAMS HOUSE" ... but honestly, it was probably better off.

UPDATE

There's really no way around it -- the finished product doesn't look great, but shoutout to the workers assigned to this project, 'cause it ain't their fault.

UPDATE

A+ idea ... F for execution.

People are trying to turn the Hollywood sign into an homage to the Rams to celebrate their Super Bowl win -- but at this rate ... it might just stay a jumbled mess come showtime.

If you look over yonder toward Griffith Park, you'll undoubtedly see what's going on there in the hills -- something looks off about the lettering on our famed sign, and that's because volunteers are out there scrambling to make it read "RAMS HOUSE" ... and in a hurry.

As you see, they're not even nearing completion ... and it's less than 24 hours before the Super Bowl parade is due to hit the streets with the team in tow. At the moment, it looks more like RALLYOUSE -- which is close, but no cigar ... and the clock is ticking.

On top of the unfinished business, there are folks in the area who are complaining about the eyesore before them ... not to mention all the racket from the bodies on the ground, which all started Monday AM.

Of course, there's also a lot of ridicule to go around here ... as many are joking that the pranksters who once turned HOLLYWOOD into HOLLYWEED did a far better job than the L.A. bureaucrats are doing now ... and way faster too, no less!

Indeed, this work is sanctioned by the City of L.A., in partnership with the Rams and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. But, considering how choppy things are moving, they might wanna bust out the spray paint and go full vandalism to meet their deadline. 😅

Matthew Stafford's Wife Furious With Hall Of Fame Talk ... 'He Isn't Done Playing!!!'

Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly, just went in on everyone who's giving their opinion on the quarterback's Hall of Fame status ... clapping back at the doubters and saying the signal-caller is nowhere near done yet.

Following the Rams star's big win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday -- the debate was on ... is Stafford a Hall of Famer or not?

Some said yes ... but the majority -- including future Hall of Famer Richard Sherman -- appeared to say no, and Kelly had big issues with that talk.

Stafford's wife took to Instagram late Tuesday evening to blast the discussion ... saying, "We shouldn't be talking about the HOF because he isn't done playing this game."

She added, though, if you don't currently think he belongs in the Hall -- she said he's going to prove you wrong in the upcoming seasons.

"So let's table this talk until he actually retires," she said. "Thank you."

For what it's worth, the talk of Stafford's potential Canton bust was brought up even before the win in the Big Game, with Torry Holt telling TMZ Sports he didn't believe Stafford was on his way to the Hall just yet.

Seems Kelly could truly care less -- saying in her post she's confident Matthew will change minds eventually.

"I can't wait for him to prove you wrong in his remaining years," she said.

Prince Harry MVP Treatment w/ Rams After SB LVI

Prince Harry got some serious MVP treatment from the L.A. Rams following the team's Super Bowl victory ... even getting to touch the sport's most coveted prize.

The official Rams account just posted these photos of the Duke of Sussex getting an up-close-and-personal look at the Lombardi Trophy after L.A. won the game. The attached caption ... “Feelin’ like royalty.”

In the pics, you see Harry in the Rams locker room, checking out the hardware alongside team owner Stan Kroenke and others, while laughing it up ... sans any face coverings.

We should say, however, while seated in the stands with his cousin, Princess Eugenie, he was indeed wearing a mask. But it seems like when he was behind the scenes and undetected, or so he thought, he ditched the cloth as well ... like countless others were already doing.

Like we told you ... as it stands, the rule in L.A. County is that everyone is supposed to mask up indoors ... even though California at large has already lifted the mandate. Despite this, a good majority of folks at the game -- famous or not -- didn’t give a hoot ... and enjoyed themselves with their mugs set free.

Harry's a big England soccer fan ... so the Rams game wasn't exactly the football he's used to!

Rams Parents Hilariously Hungover At Disney ... After Super Bowl

DOWN BAD AT DISNEY
@kbstafford89 / Instagram

The happiest place on Earth was the most hungover place on Earth on Monday ... 'cause the Los Angeles Rams' visit to Disneyland looked absolutely miserable for everyone who drank the night away after the Super Bowl.

Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly, posted video of how it REALLY looks to hit up Disneyland fresh off celebrating a championship ... showing all the young kids having a blast -- and the parents riding the struggle bus (in this case, the Merry-Go-Round).

FYI -- the Staffords have 4 kids under 5 years old. Can you imagine rounding up the bunch with a splitting headache?!?

A MAGICAL CELEBRATION
Rams/Instagram

Of course, it's tradition for newly-crowned champs to hit up Disney ... but as we reported, the Rams were partying it up with Gunna until around 4 AM after the game.

Somehow, Matthew, Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald were able to throw on a smile for the festivities ... with the trio getting the parade treatment.

The trio joined Mickey Mouse for the event ... hangin' on a Rams float waving at hundreds of fans while traveling through the confetti-filled theme park.

Donald even got to meet his fellow Donald -- Donald Duck -- and Cooper posed for some pics with some superheroes.

The fun doesn't end here -- the Rams get to celebrate again with another parade in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Rest up, Rams ... and drink some Pedialyte.

Rams' A'Shawn Robinson On Super Bowl Victory ... 'I'm In the History Books Forever'

021422_ashawn_robinson_kal
SUPER SWEET FEELING
TMZSports.com

Rams big DT A'Shawn Robinson -- who wreaked havoc against the Bengals -- tells TMZ Sports he still can't believe he's a Super Bowl champion ... and the pure joy on his face is pretty awesome.

We talked to the 26-year-old Ram Monday afternoon, less than 24 hours after securing the SB victory.

"I was telling my friends. I don't know if it hit me. I just keep saying it's crazy. I don't even know how to explain this to people," Robinson says while trying to describe his emotions.

"It's hard to explain. I'm in the history books forever. My family. My great-grandkids will forever see this. Von called this football heaven, now I know why."

Robinson -- a 2nd round draft pick out of Alabama in 2016 -- was great Sunday ... racking up 6 tackles and a sack. A'Shawn was a nuisance to Burrow and the Bengals' run game all day.

"We knew it was gonna be on our shoulders and we had to finish. Me and AD talk about it all the time. Just talk about finishing. I'm glad I could get one for [Donald]."

Speaking of the future first-ballot Hall of Famer ... we also asked Robinson whether his D-line counterpart could retire ... something AD mentioned to the broadcast crew before Sunday's game.

"I don't know if he's gonna retire or not. But, he's done everything statistically. He's done everything. I don't know. I hope not. We can run it back again next year," A'Shawn says.

Can you say ... back-to-back?

Dr. Dre on Halftime Show NFL Made 'Minor Changes' ... And I'm Still Celebrating with Mary J & Mickey D!!!

021422_dr_dre_kal
NO ISSUE AT ALL
TMZ.com

Dr. Dre has no problem admitting it, he's a little hungover after celebrating his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance -- one of the best ever -- and he says the party is STILL going!!!

The D-R-E joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" and, in his own words, he was still "buzzing" about what he, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar pulled off on Super Sunday.

First off ... that amazing performance. Dre says he went into rehearsals expecting the NFL to heavily censor the songs, but was pleasantly surprised that they only made "minor changes" -- among them, Kendrick's reference to specific L.A. gangs.

Dre says he gets why they called for that to be removed.

As for Eminem taking a knee as an homage to Colin Kaepernick -- Dre says that's something Marshall decided to do on his own, and he never heard the NFL say a peep about it.

After the show, Dre told us they were all feeling the love from roughly 70,000 fans inside SoFi Stadium -- not to mention the millions upon millions watching around the world.

He says he toasted their success with a dinner, and then went to his house to hang with friends ... including Don Cheadle and Mary J. BTW, he broke some big news about her!!!

And, then he gave us the scoop on his own personal celebration that involved a fast-food run. You gotta see this ... Dre says his trainer's gonna be pissed, but hey ... we can all agree the Doc earned himself a large order of fries. Right?

Safe to say, Mickey D's did NOT forget about Dre!!!

L.A. Rams Hollywood Sign Getting Rams Makeover ... After Super Bowl Win

Whose house?!?!

The iconic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles will no longer read "Hollywood" -- at least for the next few days ... L.A. officials are in the process of changing the letters to "Rams House" after the Rams' Super Bowl win on Sunday.

L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti said following the Rams' big victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that the makeover would take place ... and on Monday, workers set up shop near the sign to implement the change.

As of Monday around noon, only the "R" and the "A" were up, but officials said they expected the project to be finished by Monday evening and remain through Wednesday.

As for why "Rams House" ... if you're unfamiliar, the Rams have chosen to go with a "Whose House?!? Rams House!" battle cry ever since moving to Los Angeles a few years ago.

"This town has the best teams and fans in the world," Garcetti said of the signage change, "and we can’t wait to show off our L.A. pride with a display that only Hollywood could deliver."

No word on the project's cost -- but according to the L.A. Times, the Rams are picking up the tab.
