Domingo German received ALL of the love after throwing a perfect game Wednesday night ... getting a hero's welcome at the Yankees' team hotel -- and TMZ Sports has video of it!!
The star pitcher showed up to the swanky San Francisco spot just minutes after making history in an 11-0 win over the A's at the Oakland Coliseum -- and you can see in the footage, a TON of fans showed up to celebrate his moment with him.
As soon as he stepped off the bus, Pinstripes supporters cheered loudly ... and showered him with "Perfect game!" chants.
German was so grateful for the warm responses -- he spent a few moments signing autographs for those who lined up.
One of the fans who was there tells us ... German appeared super happy the entire time, thanking everyone there for their support.
27 up. 27 down.

The 24th perfect game in AL/NL history belongs to Domingo Germán. pic.twitter.com/SyUJb0cKm6
Of course, the 30-year-old deserved all of the praise after his performance on the mound ... his nine flawless innings marked just the 24th time in MLB history that a pitcher has been perfect throughout a night at the ballpark.
No word yet on how the party was when Domingo got inside the hotel ... but the Yanks had a day game Thursday afternoon -- so it probably wasn't too rowdy.
Then again, German won't pitch again 'til next week -- so maybe it was!!!

Eventually, Clark went back to his trophy for more booze too!!
Witnesses tell us ... everyone inside the joint was going crazy for the golfing star -- who kept the bash going into the wee hours of Monday morning.
Of course, Clark had every right to party his face off ... he fended off Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler to take home his first-ever major at the tough Los Angeles Country Club course.
No word yet on how the hangover went on Monday ... but something tells us the W -- and the $3.6 MILLION check that came with it -- sure made the headache go away quickly.

Nikola Jokic Drops F-Bombs At Nuggets Rally ... 'Best Day Of My F***ing Life'
11:58 AM PT -- Nikola Jokic provided some quality entertainment following the parade ... getting behind the mic at the rally and proclaiming Thursday was "the best day of my f***ing life."
The Finals MVP dropped a few f-bombs while addressing the crowd ... doing a complete 180 on his previous feelings over having to stay in America for the festivities before going back to Serbia.
"You know that I told [you] that I don't want to stay and parade, but I f***ing want to stay and parade," Jokic said as fans erupted.
Head coach Michael Malone also said a dirty word ... saying he's ready to defend the title next season.
"We're running this s*** back!" Malone said.
Unclear whether booze inspired the NSFW speeches ... but if so, be sure to drink some water, fellas.
The Denver Nuggets' NBA championship parade is officially underway ... and things are already off to a hot start -- with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope getting into a beer-chugging contest with a fan in the crowd!!
The awesome moment went down as the team made its way through the streets on firetrucks ... when KCP decided to hop off and down some brews with a lucky supporter.

The basketball player destroyed his competition ... but no one seemed to really be keeping score, as the two hugged it out at the end -- and the fan lost his damn mind.
Not everyone was guzzling the beers on hand, though -- Christian Braun did a sort of Triple H/"Stone Cold" Steve Austin combination by spitting out his drink as his truck cruised down the street.

Finals MVP Nikola Jokic has his whole family with him for the celly ... so we take it he'll mostly be on his best behavior -- but we're hoping he decides to let loose a bit.
The parade will end at Civic Center Park ... where the team will hold its rally.

The players were loving it all ... and to show their appreciation, they showered the fans with massive bottles of champagne before stealing a few sips for themselves.
To soak up all the alcohol, the team enjoyed a meal at hot spot Delilah before their night out ... and they brought the Stanley Cup with them, too.

Eventually, the guys brought the Cup to a Vegas club -- hoisting it for all to see ... before confetti rained all over them.
There was at least one PG moment with the Cup before all the alcohol started flowing -- Knights star William Karlsson placed his newborn in it, and it was adorable.
A ton of celebs were in the building to help with the party too ... Owen Wilson, 50 Cent, Darius Rucker and Steve Aoki were all spotted going crazy for Sin City's hockey team.
And, get this, according to the Knights -- all of the postgame bubbly was provided by none other than Fitty himself!

Johnny Depp Taking Movie Comeback Seriously ... Health & Rest > Partying

Exclusive
- 21.3K shares
Johnny Depp knows this is a pivotal moment in his career, and a real chance to get back his A-list Hollywood status ... so, that's exactly why he's focusing on the important stuff to get his mind right.
Sources connected to the actor tell us his recent stop at the Cannes Film Festival -- where he premiered his movie "Jeanne du Barry" -- was different from years before. We're told, back in the day, Johnny would've attended every after-party and stayed up late.
Our sources say after Tuesday's premiere, he made the decision to head back to his room early to make sure he got enough rest and to prepare for another day of media interviews.
We're told Johnny's experienced "an evolution in terms of prioritizing his health and rest" while also really picking things up with his work.
After Cannes, Depp flew to London to do Jeff Beck's tribute show with Eric Clapton and several other guitar greats -- and then he's hitting the road with his band Hollywood Vampires.
From there, he'll jump right into directing duties on "Modi," starring Al Pacino.
Depp's certainly been welcomed back by his adoring fans, and even corporations -- remember that new $20 million deal with Dior -- so it's no surprise he wants to strike while the iron's hot and capitalize on all the positive attention.
As for Amber Heard, she's hightailed it to Spain where she lives a much more quiet life with her kiddo.
The good news for her is ... 18 months ago, everyone had written off Johnny's career -- so, maybe there's an eventual comeback in her future too.

Elon Musk Let's Dance!!! Groovin' Away in Cabo
Elon Musk is having the time of his life, dancing the night away in a huge crowd in Mexico for a huge music festival -- and it looks like SpaceX, Twitter and Tesla are officially on the back burner!!!
One of the world's richest men showed off a different side of himself in Cabo San Lucas Saturday night, jamming out with his hands up to some Rüfüs Du Sol with a swarm of other ravers around him.
Elon was feelin' the music at Sundream Baja, BTW -- a 2-weekend long festival, similar to Coachella, just outside San Jose Del Cabo.
Sure, his moves might need some work, but hey ... the guy's just not known for dancing.
Kinda makes sense he headed down to Mexico for some R&R ... Elon just named former NBCUniversal advertising exec Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter last week, following months of backlash from users who weren't cool with how he was running things.
Now that he's handed the bird app keys to Linda, Elon was just looking to feel the beat this weekend. It's debatable if he actually did feel it ... watch the video and decide for yourself. A for effort, if nothing else.

Chris Brown Arguing with Usher in New Video ... Amid Reports of Vegas Fight

Usher and Chris Brown got into a heated argument last night -- which apparently led to some sort of a scuffle that got violent outside ... and TMZ has video of the lead-up to that.
Check out this footage that we obtained, which we're told was taken very early Saturday morning at the Skate Rock City roller rink in Vegas ... where CB was celebrating his 34th birthday among a lot of celeb pals, including Usher -- with whom he's incredibly close.
While Usher and co. sang to Chris earlier in the evening when everything was fine, things unfortunately got ugly in the wee hours of the morning ... when eyewitnesses tell us Chris was attempting to talk to Teyana Taylor, who was also in attendance and sitting on a bench just outside of the rink. We're told, for whatever reason, Teyana was ignoring him.
Our sources tell us this pissed Chris off, and he started to yell at her ... and that's when Usher intervened and tried to calm him down. You can see that in our video here.
We're told Chris wasn't having it, cursing at Usher and Teyana -- but then, mostly focusing his anger directly at Usher. Eventually, our sources say Chris told his crew they were leaving and they exited the facility. We're told Usher took off his skates and went after them.
Our eyewitness -- who says they were present for this -- tells us they saw Usher go behind a string of charter buses that were parked in the lot ... where Chris and his crew were at. We're told a short time later, Usher emerged with what appeared to be a bloody nose.
Unclear if he went to the hospital, or if a police report was filed. We've reached out to Vegas Metro -- but haven't heard of anything even remotely resembling this being called in.
Meanwhile ... Usher, Teyana and Chris have all been radio silent this morning -- with none of them having said a thing yet to confirm or deny a report initially put out by Hollywood Unlocked, which broke the news of a fight between the two R&B superstars/friends.
Thing is, Usher is slated to hit the stage tonight there in Vegas for his Lovers & Friends festival ... as is Chris. Unclear if either of them is going to go through with it. We'll see.

Bad Bunny And Kendall Jenner Out And About Together In NYC ... Is It Official Yet?
Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are without question an item ... the two were seen all around NYC together following the Met Gala.
The Puerto Rican rapper and the supermodel showed up arm and arm to a private soiree and then later returned to a swanky Manhattan hotel with Kendall's sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
Check out video, obtained by TMZ, which shows Kendall and Bad Bunny strolling side by side to the party with paparazzi in tow. KJ and BB were obviously enjoying each other's company, smiling and chatting with one another. By the way, KJ was dressed to kill in a sequined black bodysuit showing off her incredible physique.
When the two arrived back at their hotel after the Met, Kendall filed out of their ride first and walked inside the hotel with Bad Bunny several steps behind her. Although the two were not seen in the same frame, they did end up in the same place.
Same thing happened earlier in the day when they both arrived separately at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala.
As you might know, the pair have been spending a lot of time together since February when they were first spotted with one another.
Since then, they have gone out to restaurants and supposedly went on a double date with Justin and Hailey Bieber. They also got close at Coachella, and most recently were seen getting in the same car after a Tyler, The Creator concert.

Leo DiCaprio & Gigi Hadid Fancy Meeting You at This After-Party!!! No Connection, Though
Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid strolling into the same event after the Met Gala might scream total rendezvous, but the night did not end with a love connection ... not between them, anyway.
Gigi and Leo both hit up the Zero Bond after-party Monday night -- the same spot where the likes of Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde, and another of Leo's exes, Gisele Bündchen, chose to have some fun.
Of course, Leo arrived in his usual 'fit -- hat pulled down low with a face mask -- but once inside, we're told no one saw them hanging out. They certainly weren't photographed together ... and they bounced at separate times, too.
Alas, there would be no rekindling in NYC ... that notion was totally debunked by Leo exiting the party as only he could.
He walked out alone and got into a limo van ... and seconds later 4 models followed him into the said van. The Pied Piper of models, this guy!
As you know, he and Gigi were first linked together in September but the spark reportedly went out earlier this year ... although, they were spotted leaving the same restaurant in Milan during Fashion Week in February amid breakup rumors.
Unclear where they stand today, but it looks like Monday night's after-party bump-in could be chalked up to coincidence.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Met Gala After-Partyin' 'Til The Break Of Dawn!!!
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were 2 hours late to the Met Gala but apparently wanted to squeeze the life out of their Met Gala after-party experience ... leaving the Remedy Diner in the wee hours of Tuesday morning!!!
The couple hazily greeted cameras early Tuesday morning, Rihanna dressed in white and Rocky in a trench coat while sporting a gigantic J in his mouth.
Rihanna, who recently revealed she's in her third trimester, didn't seem to let pregnancy slow her down at all ... as she was clearly able to keep up well into the night -- and morning.
The pair were the talk of the Met, with some wondering if they were even going to show face, but all was made right when they finally graced the carpet -- 2 hours late.
No word on what Rihanna and Rocky have planned for Tuesday, but we're assuming most of their AM schedule will be dedicated to getting some serious sleep!!!

Machine Gun Kelly Parties Up a Storm For 33rd Bday ... Without Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly's celebrating his 33rd trip around the sun ... and while pics from inside his bash look pretty insane, what's most notable is the absence of his fiancée Megan Fox -- further fueling rumors they might be dunzo.
MGK posted some snaps from his birthday party, captioning them "i am 32 + 🖕🏼” ... with a good chunk of his pals in attendance as he blew out the candles -- on a cake with his cat's face on it, no less.
Looked like a pretty epic party ... one that even cops apparently had to shut down, but fans have been pointing out the fact Megan was nowhere to be found -- and as you can imagine, the comments section had its fair share of people asking where she was.
As we reported, Megan had fans convinced they split back in February, when she unfollowed him and scrubbed a lot of their photos together from her social media -- she also quoted lyrics from Beyoncé's "Lemonade" album ... code for dealing with cheating.
She went dark on IG for a bit before coming back, and denying any cheating rumors that pinned MGK with his guitarist, Sophie Lloyd.
TMZ broke the story, the 2 were spotted together earlier this month, however -- hanging out in Hawaii with MF in a new hairdo. Unclear what's going on in that relationship, but we know she wasn't with him for his big day.
