Shopping spree!!!

TMZ Sports caught up with the 26-year-old ahead of the big PFL Championship card on November 29 in Saudi Arabia, with the English-born fighter saying she already has plans for the $1 million prize.

Conor McGregor might've lost his gig as the face of Proper No. 12, but his business corner isn't completely empty ... with one company telling TMZ Sports the results of the recent civil case will have zero impact on its relationship with the UFC superstar.

McGregor has racked up countless endorsement deals throughout his career ... including a deal with Swedish fitness brand Boxbollen, a product that promotes exercise at home.

We spoke with Boxbollen co-founder Jacob Eriksson days after a jury found McGregor liable for assaulting Nikita Ni Lamhain in 2018 ... and he said while the company takes these matters seriously, it's not abandoning the Irish athlete.

Shaboozey might be at a bar gettin' tipsy ... but, his halftime show performance was full of just clean, family fun -- at least, that's what some on the internet say.

Here's the deal ... the singer-songwriter performed during halftime of the Detroit Lions game against the Chicago Bears -- playing several of his hit songs including "Tipsy (A Bar Song)," "Last of My Kind" and others.

The 6-minute performance was well-received both in the building and online ... with many on X applauding the show for being fun and family-friendly.

Tom Brady's had plenty of detractors since his debut in the broadcast booth earlier this year, but Rich Eisen clearly ain't one of them ... he tells TMZ Sports he finds the former QB's mic chops amazing.

The famed sportscaster -- who's worked play-by-play at a few NFL games this season -- gushed over TB12's first foray into color commentating ... saying out at LAX this month Brady is "one-of-one."

Eisen loves the fact that the future Hall of Famer can speak on just about every single issue that crops up in a game -- including injuries, winning, losing and playing into his 40s.

It wouldn't surprise Brett Favre if Deion Sanders is the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys ... the Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports he thinks the move is certainly possible.

America's Team, of course, is currently managed by Mike McCarthy ... but with the squad floundering at 4-7 and his contract slated to end following the season, there's been a whole lot of speculation Jerry Jones could be looking for a new sideline guy in 2025.

And, with Sanders' ties to Dallas and his impressive résumés at both Colorado and Jackson State -- Favre says he could see a situation where Jones taps Prime Time to be that man.

Turkey Day is all about food and football ... and while we can't help with the former, TMZ Sports has got ya covered with the latter -- presenting the wives and girlfriends of all the NFL teams playing on Thanksgiving!!

The first matchup on Thanksgiving is the Bears and Lions ... and despite the game being in Detroit, we're sure Jonathan Owens' wife, Olympic legend Simone Biles, will be supporting her man throughout the action.

The same goes for DJ Moore's lady, Rae, and Keenan Allen's wife, CiMo ... who are always cheering on Da Bears each week.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's ongoing financial and marital drama has taken another turn — cause TMZ has learned the estranged couple is now officially living apart as their Georgia mansion heads to the auction block.

Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ ... Kim and Kroy secured their own, separate rental houses not far from where their longtime marital home is. We're told their 4 minor children — Kroy Jr., Kash, Kaia, and Kane — will split their time between their parents' rental homes.

The two now living apart marks a significant shift in their contentious divorce saga, which has played out in court and in public. Until this week, the pair had been living under the same roof in their sprawling 7-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate, despite over a year of mounting financial troubles.

It’s the end of an 'Era' for Taylor Swift ... and Vancouver’s going all out to send her off with a massive bang as she wraps up her tour with three final shows.

As you can see from these pics, the city's going full Swiftie mode, with a giant "SWIFTCOUVER" sign by the water, a billboard ft. lyrics from her tune "Long Live," and to top it all off, a street sign reading "Taylor Way Vancouver."

Taylor’s not hitting the stage in Vancouver until December 6, 7, and 8 at BC Place Stadium, but after two years of touring, the city clearly couldn’t wait any longer to roll out the red carpet for her epic farewell.

Bryson DeChambeau has done it -- after more than two weeks of trying to sink a hole-in-one over his mansion ... he buried a ball right in his backyard's cup!

The golf star began the quest to make the incredible shot back on Nov. 13 ... vowing to hit a certain amount of balls every day until he accomplished the feat.

Wednesday was his 16th afternoon of trying to get the job done ... and on his 14th attempt of the session, he finally made it happen.

Alabama A&M football player Medrick Burnett Jr. is still alive and remains hospitalized with a head injury he sustained in a game last month ... this after the university announced he had passed away at 20 years old.

Alabama A&M tells TMZ Sports ... "We retract the news of the passing of Medrick Burnette Jr, that was originally advised by an immediate family member on Tuesday evening. Our staff acted accordingly to the wishes of the family member to inform the A&M community and beyond of this unfortunate occurrence."

"Upon hearing from a representative from UAB hospital this afternoon, we learned that he remains alive. We express our immediate regret for disseminating false information however, we hold complete joy in knowing that Medrick remains in stable condition."

Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend is still struggling with the fallout of their relationship ... with Kayla Nicole breaking down in tears as she talked about their split on a new TV show.

It's all included in a trailer for Fox's upcoming season of "Special Forces" ... with the social media influencer deeply emotional as she weighed in on how "overwhelming" it's been to deal with a breakup in the public eye.

The clip -- first shared with Us Weekly -- shows Kayla wiping away tears as she opened up on her experience ... and later on, she whispers to a fellow contestant her ex is the Kansas City Chiefs superstar.

Kroy Biermann's trying to rebuild his life as he goes through a messy divorce and massive financial troubles ... and, what better way than to work with a company that builds stadiums!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kroy's got a new job -- joining Superior Rigging & Erecting Co. as their Crane and Rigging Coordinator.

Kroy's overseeing logistics ... working hard at "enhancing workflow efficiency" and "reducing operational bottlenecks." Translation: Kroy's gone full corporate -- obsessed with synergy and other white-collar buzzwords.

Eric and Jessie James Decker couldn't keep off each other during their Mexican vacation -- and they wanted everyone to witness it all.

JJD shared the steamy snap to her 4.3 million followers on her Instagram story on Tuesday ... captioning it "Mom and Zad."

The NFL quarterback lasted just a few days without an NFL home ... agreeing to a one-year deal with the NFC North squad after the New York Giants released him last week.

DJ will serve as backup to Sam Darnold ... who has led the Vikes to a 9-2 record so far in the 2024-25 season.

Jalen Rose wasted no time letting the zingers fly on the "Inside the NBA" set ... cracking a joke about Drake's UMG lawsuit in his debut on the iconic show -- and his cohosts ate it up!!

The funny moment happened at halftime of the Lakers and Suns' NBA Cup matchup on Tuesday ... when Kendrick Lamar's new track, "tv off," started playing on the broadcast.

Just like K. Dot does on the song, Shaquille O'Neal immediately yelled out "Mustard!!!!!!" ... and Rose -- who was filling in for Kenny "The Jet" Smith -- made the quick quip.
