Check it out ... the singer hit the town in Los Angeles Wednesday night, as she stepped out for a 16th birthday party honoring nephew Bronx at Beverly Hills hot spot Mr. Chow.

Jessica was joined by a number of her loved ones, including sister Ashlee Simpson, brother-in-law Evan Ross, ex-brother-in-law Pete Wentz, dad Joe Simpson, and mom Tina Ann Drew, among others ... so, it was eyebrow-raising when EJ was nowhere to be found.

Peyton Manning clearly has no qualms with kicking Jerry Jones while he's down ... the NFL legend roasted the Dallas Cowboys owner during the CMAs on Wednesday night!

The popshot came during the award show's opening monologue ... as Manning, Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan were delivering some punch lines while reflecting back on another year of country music.

The trio mostly ribbed one other ... but when Wilson intro'd Kelsea Ballerini to the audience -- Manning couldn't help but take a jab at Jones.

If the NFL season ended today ... Bruce Smith tells TMZ Sports his choice for the MVP award would be easy -- Josh Allen!

8:44 AM PT -- Adam Schefter tells TMZ Sports (via X) ... his memorable news-breaking moment happened AFTER knocking boots, not during the deed.

Glad we could clear that up.

Adam Schefter's making it clear his job is his No. 1 priority -- even in the bedroom -- revealing Wednesday he's broken a story mid-coitus!!!

ESPN's NFL insider dropped the bombshell on his colleague, Kevin Clark, during Tuesday's episode of "This Is Football" ... just after KC asked Shefty where the "weirdest place" was that he's been first to report news.

After a few sheepish moments from the journalist, the 57-year-old laughed ... and said it was actually after he had "spent time with this woman for the first time."

Like millions of others across the globe, Travis Kelce spent a portion of his Friday night staring at Mike Tyson's bare ass ... and he said this week the sight was "the funniest s*** ever!!"

Taylor Swift's boyfriend broke it all down for Jason Kelce on the brothers' latest episode of "New Heights" ... explaining he got a real long look at Tyson's rump just ahead of the boxing legend's big fight with Jake Paul -- as his Netflix stream paused on the now-infamous locker room moment.

The younger Kelce said his first reaction was laughter -- and then he said he whipped out his phone to send the scene to "f***ing everyone" so they could tune in.

It's new team, new home for Derrick Henry ... TMZ Sports has learned the NFL star has parted ways with his mansion in Tennessee now that he's a Raven.

We're told the running back officially sold his Nashville pad on Tuesday -- some eight months after he signed with Baltimore -- nabbing a whopping $3.1 million for the place.

It's a ton of coin ... but check out the images, the home -- listed by Devin Roper of Compass -- is incredible.

Jay Cutler and Samantha Robertson have taken their relationship to the next level ... they are reportedly engaged!

Sources tell PEOPLE the former star NFL quarterback and mom of two, who have been dating for more than a year …. are officially hearing wedding bells in the near future.

The Dallas Cowboys might suck, but their home venue doesn't -- officials tell TMZ Sports they've found nothing wrong with AT&T Stadium's structure despite Monday night's metal-falling incident.

A spokesperson for the City of Arlington told us Tuesday the city's building inspector and deputy fire marshal have deemed Jerry World safe ... less than 24 hours after people on AT&T Stadium's field were nearly hit by debris that came crashing down from the facility's ceiling just before the Cowboys vs. Texans kickoff.

The rep says they're confident "there are no structural issues with the venue or its retractable roof" -- as officials ID'ed the concerning "Monday Night Football" scene to be merely a problem with a cable tray lid covering.

Peyton Manning wasn't all that impressed with Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul .... 'cause the Hall of Fame signal-caller took a shot at the fight during the Cowboys-Texans "Monday Night Football" game!

The roasting happened during the "ManningCast" ... when a skirmish broke out in the first quarter of the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Bill Belichick, a weekly guest on the show, mentioned the stadium hosted a big fight on Friday ... Tyson vs. Paul, which went down at Jerry's World, too.

Manning laughed ... and offered this quip back.

AT&T Stadium is undergoing some changes after all -- but its got nothing to do with a tarp blocking the sun -- 'cause a massive piece of roof fell ahead of the Texans-Cowboys Monday Night Football game.

It happened on Monday afternoon as the retractable domed roof was opening a couple of hours before kickoff in Arlington, TX ... so fans could enjoy the night sky for the first time in two years.

Unfortunately, while the roof was opening, a humongous piece from the roof fell ... which was then documented by several reporters who shared photos and video of the big hunk of sheet metal as it lay on the sidelines.

Thankfully, no one was injured.

A prominent figure is suing the lawyer repping more than 120 of Diddy's alleged victims, saying the attorney is "shamelessly attempting to extort exorbitant sums from him," while threatening a lawsuit packed with "wildly false horrific allegations" if he doesn't pay up.

The plaintiff, identified only as "John Doe," filed his own lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court Monday morning ... describing himself as a "high profile individual" who knew Diddy and attended events along with the mogul. He's being repped by one of the premier law firms in the country -- Quinn Emanuel.

The man says attorney Tony Buzbee and his firm threatened to unleash "entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault -- including multiple incidents of rape of a minor, both male and female -- against Plaintiff if he refuses to comply with their demands." The suit goes on to say Buzbee's demand letters alleged the plaintiff raped the males and females while they were under the influence of drugs ... at parties hosted by Diddy.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are making one last-ditch effort to unload their Georgia home, slashing the price in a bid to avoid it hitting the auction block.

According to online real estate records, the 7-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion just got a $300K price chop ... bringing it down to $3.65 million.

With a foreclosure auction looming on December 3, it's anyone's guess if the latest price cut will do the trick -- especially since the mansion was originally listed for $6 million in October 2023, making this a major markdown.

Another one of Camryn Bynum's interception celebrations has gotten a big thumbs up from its inspiration ... Lindsay Lohan revealed over the weekend she absolutely loved his "The Parent Trap" salute!
