Forget Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, the man who created "The Match" tells TMZ Sports he wants the next iteration of the famed golf event to feature the Backstreet Boys vs. *NSYNC!

Bryan Zuriff -- a film and TV producer who brought "The Match" to life in 2018 -- said on Friday he's all in on the idea of the boy band battle on the links ... after he heard BSB issue Justin Timberlake and Co. the challenge on TMZ Sports this week.

Zuriff said he's got a big vision for the potential event ... explaining he wants it to go down at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas -- with the Sphere (where BSB are currently performing) in the backdrop!

Diddy's lawyer dropped a bombshell on "TMZ Live" ... his client may ask for home confinement, not prison, and how is Reneé Rapp clueless about Joe Rogan?!? So we gotta ask ...

The celebs have turned full heavy metal, ready to make a big ole' splash in their metallic swimwear ... Wave your hands in the air, like you just don't care, and scroll through these liquid-lush looks (that definitely leave an ever-lasting glare)!

Reflecting off their disco balls, stars like Megan Thee Stallion delivered metallic-magic in her blue bikini, Rita Ora threw some sassy shade at her bold boat-look, and Kylie Jenner was total 'liquid gold' vibes!!!

Rapper Latto was a reflective swimwear queen, and Summer Ray was a sun-kissed sheen!

"You're not my mother, get away from me, you clone freak!"

Happy Saturday y'all ... You've come to the right place for a fun sneaky game ... Can you bag up the 'Freaky' frigin' differences in these two shots of Jamie Lee Curtis?!

Earlier this week in Sydney, Australia, the Hollywood actress stepped out for the "Freakier Friday" premiere in this red-hot look, but some things are amiss.

Strut your stuff and walk up to the images ... Do you think you've got what it takes to score the changes?!

Tom Hanks is saying farewell to late Apollo 13 astronaut James Lovell ... who Tom famously played on the big screen.

In 1995's "Apollo 13" Tom plays Lovell, who died Thursday at 97.

Tom is remembering Lovell in a heartfelt post on social media, saying ... "There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to the places we would not go on our own. Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy."

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's mother is speaking out for the first time since her son drowned at a beach in Costa Rica.

Malcolm-Jamal's mom continued ... "He was a kind, loving man with a huge heart for humanity. He wanted all to be aware of their inner strength and that they could succeed, accomplish and transform. This was his latest mission and work, transformation, in order for you to be fully present in your life."

Ronnie Radke is laughing off the catfishing drama he got roped into with Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan ... his new music video pokes fun at the couple, but he says the jokes are harmless fun.

We got the "Falling In Reverse" singer at Beachwood Cafe in Los Angeles on Friday and our photog asked him about the "All My Women" music vid.

A woman with cartoonishly huge lips is cast as Brittany and Tommy is getting the puppet treatment and punching puppet Radke ... and there's a bunch of not-so-subtle references to the catfishing saga that briefly caused problems between Brittany and Tommy.

John Leguizamo isn't pulling a Dean Cain and volunteering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ... he says that's for losers.

The actor hopped on social media Friday and blasted the 'Lois & Clark' star for supporting ICE, volunteering to become an officer and helping boost their recruiting numbers.

John says Dean is a loser and a moron for volunteering to help deport illegal immigrants ... and then he hits Dean with the big blow ... telling him his pronouns are "has been."

Kim Kardashian is praising the benefits of a regenerative medical procedure she says cured her from a torn shoulder and chronic back pain.

In an Instagram post Friday morning, Kim opened up about her "stem cell journey" ... revealing she's been getting stem cell therapy down in Mexico because it's not accessible in the United States.

Kim says two years ago she tore her shoulder lifting weights, resulting in "debilitating pain." She says she tried everything to find relief, then learned about stem cells and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna.

4:10 PM PT -- The shooter who opened fire near Emory University is dead, according to police in Atlanta.

The Atlanta Police Department says, "There is no ongoing threat to the Emory campus or the surrounding neighborhood. The incident involved a single shooter, who is now deceased."

APD says one law enforcement officer was injured during the police response.

Cops are now asking folks to avoid the area as they investigate.

An army of police officers just descended on the area around Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, after reports of an active shooter -- and social media videos capture the sounds of rapid gunfire.

Emory University officials sent out an alert at about 5 PM local time., advising students to "RUN, HIDE, FIGHT. Avoid the area."

One of the focal points of the shooting is a CVS store, where CNN got footage of what appeared to be a wounded uniformed cop being carried out on a stretcher into a waiting ambulance.

'Vacay' ... more like 'BAEcay!!!' Can you guess which sexy star bared it all in this NSFW selfie?! This ain't her first rodeo when it comes to showin' off her beach bod, but see if you've got what it takes to score the unknown model...

Brandon Blackstock’s brother is pouring his heart out on IG the day after Brandon's death -- and it’s a gut-wrenching tribute that’ll hit you right in the feels.

Alongside an IG collage of family pics, Shelby Blackstock shared that words couldn't even begin to capture the huge hole left by Brandon's passing -- as an irreplaceable part of their family as a brother, father, grandfather, and son.

Shelby -- a racecar driver -- opened up about how much his late brother had taught him and the countless memories he'd carry forever, especially now that they won’t get to make any more.

8/9 6:25 PM PT -- Seems Blackson pulled a fast one on us. Turns out his son's name isn't Bruce Leroy like he says in the clip -- that's a reference to a character from 1985 action-comedy "The Last Dragon."

He wrote on social media that his son's name is really Mikey ... so, looks like he got us with this one. Chalk it up to the hazards of interviewing a comedian!

Michael Blackson's introducing his son to the world ... though his own introduction to the kid was a bit delayed -- 'cause his need for caffeine made him miss the birth!

We caught up with the comedian and his fiancée Rada Cheang -- also known as Rada Darling -- at LAX Thursday ... and, we got a glimpse of their son with their consent of course.

He's a cute kid ... though his dad's already ribbing him about his looks -- life of a comedian's son, we suppose.

Tom Brady's statue has finally touched down at Gillette Stadium.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion was honored with the sculpture outside the Patriots Hall of Fame in the Patriot Place Plaza at a star-studded ceremony on Friday, just months after Robert Kraft announced the tribute was incoming.

Brady had the best seat in the house for its unveiling ... and when the tarp was pulled off of it, he was all smiles and gave Kraft a big hug.

Dean Cain's become a real-life superhero for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ... with the agency saying he's giving their recruitment a major boost.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells TMZ ... "We have certainly seen a pop in applications in the past few days -- we are grateful to Dean Cain for his efforts to highlight the work that ICE law enforcement is doing to remove terrorists, pedophiles, gang members and murderers from American communities."

As you know ... earlier this week, the actor took to social media, urging his followers to sign up as the agency worked to recruit loads of new officers.

Chris Appleton’s plugging his new memoir, and he’s opening up to TMZ about how writing it helped him confront his own mental health struggles he's experienced throughout his career.

We caught up with the celebrity hairstylist in NYC on Thursday, and he tells us writing "Your Roots Don’t Define You" was a brutal ride ... because if he wasn’t real about his journey, how could he expect to help others with theirs?

Catch the full clip, because Chris says the book is for anyone who looks like they’ve got it all together on the outside but really don’t -- and that was him for years.
