Here's proof that getting shipped over to play pro hoops in Lithuania is NOT A BAD THING AT ALL ... TMZ Sports presents -- the Vytautas cheerleaders!!

If you've watched any of LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball's games over the past few weeks, you know exactly what we're talking about. If you haven't ... take a look through the pics to catch up to speed.

These lovely ladies absolutely BRING IT every time they hit the court ... and you gotta love their outfits.

Cheer on, cheerleaders.

If you're getting cold watching all the Winter Olympics coverage ... warm up with these patriotic stars while showing some support for Team USA!

Don't let these almost identical images of USA skier David Wise tread on you ... put your best foot forward and see if you can pick out the differences between these two super similar shots.

"Psycho" star John Gavin -- who appeared in several other classics such as "Midnight Lace" and was the US Ambassador to Mexico under Ronald Reagan -- has died.

John -- who played Sam Loomis in the classic horror flick -- died Friday morning ... TMZ has learned. We're told he succumbed to complications from pneumonia and had battled leukemia for a long time.

John was first hospitalized just before Christmas and died just before 6 AM Friday at his Beverly Hills home, surrounded by his family.

Gavin starred as Julius Caesar in "Spartacus" and Steve Archer in "Imitation of Life." He also won a Golden Globe for "A Time to Love and a Time to Die" when he played Ernst Graber.

Gavin leaves behind his wife, Constance Towers, 4 kids and 3 grandchildren. Connie tells TMZ, "We lost our best friend, father and husband. We were so grateful to have him."

He was 86.

The Lakers have been CRUSHIN' IT the past few games ... and you can tell by all of the huge celebrity fans who've rushed back to their courtside seats!

Pharrell, Floyd Mayweather, Will Ferrell and a bunch of other stars were all courtside to watch the Purple & Gold put a beating on the OKC Thunder 106-81 ... L.A.'s 8th win in the last 10 games.

L.A. fans can be fickle when it comes to their sports teams -- even Jack Nicholson stopped coming to games and thought about giving up his tickets back in 2015 when the Lakers were terrible.

But now that the Lakers are on a hot streak, there's a pretty good chance we'll see Jack, Leo ... hell, maybe even David Beckham again?!

The 2018 Winter Olympics officially kicked off while everyone on this side of Earth was asleep ... and while ya snoozed ya also lost out on Team USA walking out to "GANGNAM STYLE"!!!

The U.S. of A was led by flag bearer and luger Erin Hamlin at the Opening Ceremony's Parade of Nations in South Korea. Veep Mike Pence was among the dignitaries who watched from his suite ... no doubt the spotlight belonged to Team USA as everyone's ears perked up when rapper Psy came on.

Celebs heading to New York Fashion Week might wanna borrow a pair of Anna Wintour's shades for all the metallics and sequins on the runway.

Gigi Hadid looked straight outta the sequel to 'Fifth Element' walking in Jeremy Scott's sci-fi-inspired show Thursday. Meanwhile Cindy Crawford's mini-me Kaia Gerber walked the Tom Ford sequin-infested runway.

Ford's show drew celebs like Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, La La Anthony, Hailey Baldwin, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Christian Combs and Doutzen Kroes. Hadid's own bf, Zayn, and bro Anwar had front-row seats there too.

Team USA athletes have made their way across the world to South Korea, and they're all geared up to hit the ice and snow ... to bring home some hardware!

Lindsey Vonn (with her doggo, Lucy), Shaun White, Alex Shibutani and Sam Michener are among the 244 athletes on the U.S. Team in PyeongChang for today's Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

Vonn's favored to win her women's downhill skiing event, Chen is USA's great figure skating hope ... and everyone knows what "The Flying Tomato" can do in the half-pipe.

Packers RB Aaron Jones says he wants a hot celebrity GF just like his boy, Aaron Rodgers ... so he's laying it all on the line for Demi Lovato.

"Hit me up, Demi! You single, I'm single. Sup? I'm a great match for you!"

As you probably already know, Rodgers and Danica Patrick are a thing ... so when we got Jones at a Super Bowl party in Minny a few days ago, we had to ask who his celeb crush was.

Without hesitation, A.J. name-dropped the pop singer and made a pitch for a blind date.

Seems like Demi's more into MMA guys ... but you can't blame the man for shooting his shot.

Drake's been in a giving mood this week, and one of his 5-figure gifts will help women and children in Miami for years to come ... TMZ has learned.

Drizzy dropped by Lotus House -- Miami's only shelter for homeless women and children -- and dished out toys and games to 140 kids Tuesday. He also handed out $150 Target gift cards to 130 women, and cut a $50,000 check for the organization.

We're told the money will go directly toward funding the group's new shelter, which recently opened and holds 500 beds.

Lotus House President Constance Collins told us the "God's Plan" rapper's donation will "nourish bodies, minds and spirits of homeless women and children who are among the most vulnerable in our community." She added ... Drake's timing is perfect.

Drake's charity spree has also included spending $50k on groceries for random Miami shoppers, a $50k donation check to one happy student at the University of Miami and $25k to a high school.

The Spice Girls are getting back together for a reunion tour that will take them to the U.S. ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Melanie C met last week with their former manager, Simon Fuller. Sources connected to the women tell us the meeting was for "rough planning" and the goal is a world tour that will kick off in late summer.

Our sources say the plan now is for the group to hit the stage in England first and then migrate over to the U.S. There is NO plan for a Vegas residency and no plan to record new music.

No surprise ... we're told everyone but Victoria was down for the reunion for a long time, but she has now come around and is "fully on board."

Simon Fuller, who made a lifetime's worth of loot as the creator of "American Idol," will manage the group during the tour. Our sources say he's organizing the tour because he enjoys the girls and the group.

One more thing ... we're told they're working on "merchandising opportunities" connected with the tour.

The planning is still in the early stages, but everyone is fully committed and the tour is going to happen.

Actor Mickey Jones -- a regular on "Justified" and "Home Improvement," and a character actor in tons of huge movies -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Mickey died at 2:17 AM Wednesday following a long illness. We're told the actor had been in and out of the hospital for the last few months. It's unclear what illness he was battling.

Mickey's been a hard working actor in Hollywood for over 3 decades. He's "that" guy ... whose face you've seen in 'MASH,' "Entourage" and "Bones." He also appeared in movies like "Total Recall," "Sling Blade," "Tin Cup" and many, many more.

He was also an accomplished drummer ... who used to play with Kenny Rogers. Mickey was 76.

RIP

Kylie Jenner's BFF Jordyn Woods is taking over for the new mom when it comes to posting bikini shots on Instagram because that's what friends are for, right?

Jordyn, who was front and center in Kylie's birth announcement video, is down in Mexico and shared a bunch of photos of herself poppin'. It's not her M.O. -- Jordyn's usually a bit more covered up. Makes ya wonder if she's sliding into her pal's role, since KJ's been on maternity leave since last summer.
