TMZSports.com

With the Golden State Warriors still waiting to find out who they'll face in the next round of the playoffs, Matt Barnes jetted to L.A. to blow off some steam with his old Clippers pal, DeAndre Jordan.

The two hit up Warwick in Hollywood with a TON of huge stars including Julio Jones, French Montana, Nicole Scherzinger, Zach Randolph and more.

The Warriors will either play the Rockets or the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals -- depending who wins that series.

So, why not use the downtime to chill with old pals?

Over in Cleveland, the Cavs are in a similar situation -- waiting on the winner of the Wizards and Celtics series. They decided to throw a dance party during workouts yesterday.

Meek Mill's putting the dirty back in 30 ... blowing bags o' cash at a nightclub filled with go-go dancers just days after celebrating his 30th birthday.

Meek hit up ACES early Thursday morning in NYC where he dropped a cool $20,000 on the dancers. We're told he showed up with his crew around 2 AM and ordered 10 bottles of Don Julio 1942. The good stuff's gonna cost ya.

T.I. was also there admiring the scenery and dropping stacks, but the night clearly belonged to Meek ... who grabbed the mic, spit some lyrics ... then made the move. The rain was real!

THEY'LL MAKE IT
TMZSports.com

Julio Jones hit the club scene in Hollywood Wednesday night -- but he wasn't a sloppy Lindsay Lohan-style mess -- he was sober, sippin' water and tellin' us why he LOVES the guys his ATL Falcons took in the NFL Draft.

The WR was leaving Warwick (rockin' a man bag, we'll get to that later) when he told us why he thinks the Falcons had an "amazing" draft.

FYI, Atlanta went defense with their first 2 picks -- DE Takk McKinley in the 1st round and LB Duke Riley in the 3rd.

Julio also praises the Dallas Cowboys -- and told us why he thinks they'll easily rack up at least 10 wins again.

But back to the man bag ... (which Julio INSISTS is not a fanny pack). JJ says there's a real solid reason he wears it out and even told us what he keeps in it.

Don't worry, Julio, if it's good enough for The Rock, it's good enough for us ...

LeBron James Dance Party at Cavs Practice with Kyrie Irving

LeBron James turned all the way up at the Cleveland Cavs practice on Wednesday -- dancing hard in the gym with Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert ... and it's kinda awesome.

While most of the guys were working out in the team practice facility, Bron took a break when Playboi Carti's hit song, "Magnolia" came over the speakers.

The beat took hold. The guys danced it out. Bron's got moves.

Of course, the guys are in great spirits and well rested and ran through the Toronto Raptors in 4 games. Now, it's a waiting game to see who they get in the next round.

Why not turn up?!

George Clooney, Rande Gerber Casamigos Unidos por Cumpleaños! ... Gracias, Amal!

George Clooney and Rande Gerber kept a tradition going of celebrating their birthdays, thanks to Amal -- who surprised the hell outta both of 'em over the weekend.

Sources close to the group tell TMZ ... Amal invited Rande and Cindy Crawford to fly to the UK to surprise George, and join them for an intimate Saturday night dinner. We're told it worked ... George was dumbfounded when he saw his bff.

George and Rande -- whose birthdays fall within about a week of each other -- usually celebrate together, but since George and Amal moved to London ... it seemed like that might not happen.

Rande's appearance wasn't the only surprise. We're told Amal brought out a custom Casamigos cake -- featuring mini George and Rande figurines ... which actually kinda does 'em justice.

WITH THE PRESS OF A BUTTON

Kobe Bryant broke the bank for his wife's 35th birthday celebration -- taking the whole family on a baller trip to Mexico ... where Vanessa got to hit the launch button for her very own epic private fireworks show!

Seriously, this is dope as hell.

The Bryants had their own insane private suite at an exclusive resort -- a suite that included its own private pool, beach access ... and a mariachi band!!!

But the best part was when staffers brought Vanessa the controls for the fireworks show on a silver platter ... and had her fire off the explosives!

Happy birthday!

Kylie Jenner Floats Travis' Boat ... Proves Blondes DO Have More Fun

Travis Scott must prefer blondes, 'cause Kylie Jenner went back to her platinum look to party with her BF ... on a boat!

The couple arrived by yacht, naturally, for a dinner party at Miami's River Yacht Club. They got cozy on the deck while friends -- and some big bodyguards -- milled around.

The romantic night out was pricey ... they dined with Miami nightlife mogul David Grutman. We don't know who picked up the tab, but it was $2,000 ... and much of that was shots of Don Julio.

Definite recipe for a rough ride home ... on a boat, anyway.

LOOK OUT BELOW

Lil Uzi Vert turned into Evel Knievel during his set at the Rolling Loud music festival this weekend ... jumping from 20 feet into a crowd.

Uzi was performing his song, "Money Longer," Sunday night, during which he climbed to the top of a 20-foot tent ... and then waited for the beat to drop again before taking a leap.

It looks like his body takes a slight turn in the air before coming down on a huge crowd, who luckily had their hands up.

No word on if the dude was injured.

TMZ.com

Phaedra Parks is still legally married to Apollo Nida but that's not stopping her from dancing on couches at the club dressed in head-to-toe lingerie.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star hit up the Banco Lounge in Atlanta for celeb stylist Jeremy Haynes' birthday. As you may have guessed ... lots of skin.

"Basketball Wives LA" star Angel Love, "Married to Medicine" star Quad Lunceford, Toya Wright, Monyetta Shaw all showed face. Kenya Moore's ex-beau, Matt Jordan, was also front and center.

As we reported, Phaedra's divorce had been finalized back in November but a judge overturned it because Nida, who's behind bars, hadn't been properly served.

Ivanka Trump
CUTTING THE KITCHEN FLOOR

Ivanka Trump's 2 little boys aren't Migos fans yet -- they're just toddlers -- but they can get down to some pretty experimental jams.

Ivanka threw an after-work dance party in her Washington D.C. kitchen with 3-year-old Joseph ... and the kid looks like he's days away from dabbing. Mom and her boy are getting down to "I Love OJ" by Japanese comedian Pikotaro. Y'know the lyrics ... "I like orange juice. Grape juice ... no no no no."

She posted the throwback vid as a shout to working mothers. But also to promote her book, 'Women Who Work.'

The Met Gala ain't just for the Kardashians ... a bunch of athletes were there too -- from Tom Brady to Cam Newton ... even a huge NASCAR driver!

The New England Patriots were well represented with Tom, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola -- and Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez killed it.

Cam Newton wasn't much of a talker -- but his outfit was loud as usual.

La La Anthony made a solo statement ... and keep a lookout for Jeff Gordon and Roger Federer.

Not too shabby ...

Kendall Jenner APB Be On Lookout for Half a Skirt

Kendall Jenner was happy to leave half of her skirt behind for a Met Gala after-party in NYC ... and she seemed content to leave A$AP Rocky back there as well.

Kendall and A$AP hit up 1 OAK after the Met Gala Monday night, where she was looking pretty damn hot in almost half of a leather mini skirt barely held together by strings.

Wish we could say the same for A$AP, who was lurking in the back with a super stylish Christmas outfit. Seems clear why Kendall was taking the lonnnng lead.

Julian Edelman & Adriana Lima Party Together ... After Met Gala

Another comeback for Julian Edelman?

Just a few months after calling it quits, the Patriots WR and supermodel Adriana Lima reconnected in NYC Monday night to party together after the Met Gala ... but it's not exactly a reconciliation.

The two were spotted together hitting up Rihanna's after-party at 1 OAK -- where they arrived in the same car.

Our sources tell us things were pretty frosty between the two after they split earlier this year -- but it seems the ice has thawed. We're told they're definitely NOT back together but it's clear they're on much better terms.

Edelman and Lima were not each other's dates for the Gala -- Edelman arrived to the affair with fellow Pats WR Danny Amendola and they sat at Tom Brady's table.

ROUND OF APPLAUSE
TMZ.com

Blac Chyna surrounded herself with all kinds of asses -- it's really the only way to properly judge a twerking contest.

BC was at the newly renovated Pool After Dark at Harrah's in Atlantic City over the weekend to rule on important stuff ... like asses shaking. One competitor busted a huge no-no -- and security even had to step in to remind her to keep it clean.

But you gotta see Chyna's face when it went down.

Tough job, but Chyna was willing to do it ... for the payday.
