Paparazzi Photo

NY Jets head coach Rex Ryan just unveiled a bizarre tattoo that tells Mark Sanchez ... your QB job is 100% secure -- and also my wife totally digs you!

Sexy Rexy was spotted on the beach in the Bahamas with a tattoo on his right arm of a woman -- who looks a lot like Rex's wife Michelle Ryan -- wearing a #6 Jets jersey ... aka Mark's jersey.

After the Jets' horrendous season there's been talk that Sanchez could be traded ... so the ink could simply be a vote of confidence.

All fair questions ... considering Rex and Michelle's alleged fetish history.

We don't know if the tat is permanent, but it's worth nothing ... no Tim Tebow ink.

UPDATE: Upon further review the woman seems to be "Tebowing" (she also seems to be wearing no underwear). So ... mixed message?

Gabriel Aubry is ready for his close-up again ... just a short month-and-a-half after his pretty boy face got bashed in by Olivier Martinez on Thanksgiving Day.

The model was still a little puffy when he arrived at LAX last night -- but looked much more like the guy who bagged Halle Berry 7 years ago ... instead of a guy who went 4 rounds with late 80s Mike Tyson.

Yesterday was exactly 6 weeks after the brawl that erupted at Halle's house as Gabriel dropped off Nahla.

Who knew ... Mini-Me has a little cowboy in him too.

While filming a segment for some Austrian TV show in L.A. this week, "Austin Powers" star Verne Troyer rode off into the sunset astride his mighty steed ... an adorable little pony.

You can't really tell from the photo, but the pony's only about 4 feet tall. Meanwhile, the 44-year-old actor stands at just 2 feet 8 inches, making him one of the shortest men in the world.

"Hunger Games" hunk Alexander Ludwig proved he's been eating right by showing off his lean, hairless, buff body while at the beach in Hawaii on Wednesday.

May the abs be ever in your favor.

2013 is already bringing huge changes for Lindsay Lohan.

Just two days after looking really rough in London (below) for New Year's Eve, the 26-year-old actress stepped out looking like a totally different person.

Unlike her NYE meltdown, Lindsay showed up at London's fancy Nozomi restaurant last night, glowing in a black fur jacket and a brand new face.

Here's to new beginnings.

It's been eight years -- and two kids -- since she infamously bronzed her glorious God given talents in this amazing shot from 2005, butt we still gotta ask ...

And just like that ... Rihanna's back where it all started ... Chris Brown's passenger seat.

The on-again couple relived their past earlier today in L.A., where they picked up some refreshments -- including an Icee -- at a gas station convenience store.

You'll recall, Rihanna was riding shotgun back in 2009 when CB unleashed a ferocious beatdown on her face -- but today, she was nothing but smiles.

Oh yeah, that red sweatshirt she's wearing is Chris' clothing line -- Black Pyramid.

Hope Part 2 works out better.

Leonardo DiCaprio is clearly enjoying his single status and partied it up on a yacht with a bunch of hot bikini babes in Australia over the holiday weekend.

Along with all the sexy chicks -- some of whom were topless -- the 38-year-old "Django Unchained" star also hung out with his wingmen Jonah Hill and Lukas Haas.

Up until around two months ago, DiCaprio was dating Victoria's Secret supermodel Erin Heatherton.

Forget Lamaze classes -- Kim Kardashian's fetus is already getting its daily workout ... at the gym.

Kim -- who's roughly 3 months pregnant with Kanye West's baby -- took her barely-visible baby bump out for a cardio sesh this morning in L.A.

From the looks of it ... Kim's taking a page out of Jessica Simpson's maternity wardrobe playbook -- lots and lots of black clothing.

But we'll give her credit for the spandex. Then again ... she's only 12 weeks into this.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is white hot -- exposing his burly man chest while vacationing in Maui.

Zuck wasn't shy about sharing his topless physique while taking his wife Priscilla Chan out for a private surf lesson.

See, there is something $14 billion can't buy.

Chelsea Clinton was visibly upset as she left the NYC hospital where Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is being treated for a blood clot in her head -- although doctors now say things are looking up for Madam Secretary.

Chelsea was photographed outside New York Presbyterian Hospital Monday after visiting her mom ... who's been there since Sunday when doctors discovered the blood clot during an MRI.

The photos tell the story -- it was a rough year for Lindsay Lohan.

These pics of Lindsay were snapped as she returned to her London hotel just before the stroke of midnight.

Lohan looked disheveled and a little bloated after celebrating the end of a year that included --

-- a car crash
-- 3 fresh criminal charges for lying to cops
-- getting her probation in the jewelry heist case revoked
-- arrested in NYC for assault
-- arrested in NYC for hit and run
-- calling cops after epic fight in NYC with Dina
-- huge tax problems
-- Liz and Dick

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's pregnancy was far from an immaculate conception -- but it did go down in the shadow of the Vatican ... TMZ has learned.

Our Kim K. sources -- which are immaculate -- tell us the deed was done back in October ... during Kim and Kanye's romantic trip to Italy to celebrate Kim's 32nd birthday.

The couple was photographed all over Rome as they toured the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, and, of course ... the Pope's pad.

We're told Kim is about 12 weeks along ... so the math adds up.

One clue about how important that Italy trip is to Kim -- her blog lists it as #2 on her top 10 best moments of the year.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were all over each other -- like a couple o' teenagers -- when they touched down in LA this morning ... just hours after announcing they've got one in the oven.

KK & KW were arm in arm -- a few paces behind proud momager Kris Jenner -- as they strolled through LAX ... but it won't be long before the couple and their little (very little) one are back in the air.

As TMZ first reported ... Kim's going through with her scheduled NYE appearance tonight at 1 Oak Nightclub in Las Vegas.

Kim Kardashian wasn't going out of her way to squash all those pregnancy rumors -- in fact, in hindsight ... she damn near handed the world her ultrasound.

Just last week Kim and daddy-to-be Kanye West were spotted arm in arm leaving her OB-GYN.

DUH!!

We all know the only reason a dude accompanies his lady to that doctor is if she's having your baby.

As TMZ first reported, Kim and Kanye's original plan was to keep the baby hush-hush until she started showing and people started asking questions.

Olympic legend Michael Phelps has broken up with girlfriend Megan Rossee ... TMZ has learned.

Look at the photo above, then read that sentence again.

According to our sources, Phelps felt the relationship wasn't going anywhere, so he decided to end it so he could pursue other options.

And apparently in the world of Michael Phelps, those options are somehow better than this.
