Willis McGahee knows Fernando Mendoza is on an all-time run, but the Miami Hurricanes are even hotter -- 'cause he tells TMZ Sports, despite Indiana's elite quarterback, his alma mater will take home the College Football Playoff crown!!

The championship game kicks off on Monday in Miami ... where the Hoosiers and Hurricanes will battle for the national title.

Both teams have been playing their absolute best this postseason ... especially Mendoza, who has completed 85% of his passes and thrown for eight touchdowns and zero interceptions.

That said, many believe that's too much for the Hurricanes to handle ... but McGahee isn't worried one bit.

Dolly Parton turns 80 years old today, and she's still too hot to handle ... so we're helping you celebrate her incredible milestone with a photographic tour of her iconic career.

Of course, Dolly's special day comes just months after she missed an event at Dollywood, saying she'd been dealing with unspecified "health challenges" throughout the fall, and her doctors told her to "take it easy."

But that just makes this birthday even sweeter!

The Buffalo Bills are starting fresh next season -- they just fired head coach Sean McDermott.

The move comes fresh off the Bills' loss to the Broncos on Saturday -- a nail-biting overtime thriller that ended with Denver punching its ticket to the AFC Championship Game.

Three shark attacks have rocked Sydney, Australia, in a 24-hour period ... leaving one boy fighting for his life after losing both his legs to the jaws of one of the ocean predators, and a man in critical condition after his leg was bitten in the water.

The boy was attacked after jumping off a rock ledge into the ocean near Sydney Sunday ... after the 12-year-old boy was bitten, some of his friends jumped in after him and swam him back to shore.

Then on Monday, an 11-year-old surfer narrowly missed serious injury when a shark took a giant bite out of his surfboard.

But later Monday, a surfer in his 20s was critically injured when a shark bit one of his legs, News Corp Australia reports. Rescuers performed first-aid on the beach before he was hospitalized.

Prince Harry’s legal battle against a powerful British tabloid publisher is heating up -- with the Duke of Sussex returning to court to take them on over allegations of unlawful information-gathering ... along with a host of A-listers.

Harry arrived at London’s High Court on Monday looking confident in a black suit … acknowledging a few spectators as he headed inside.

Elton John and actors Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost join Harry as part of the group, claiming Associated Newspapers Limited -- the publisher of the Daily Mail -- hired private investigators to place listening devices in homes and cars and record private calls. There are also claims of ANL engaging in impersonation and deception to access personal info.

The Houston model caught making out with Desmond Scott amid is divorce is speaking out — and clearing the air on whether she's the woman he cheated with.

Marissa Springer posted a video to Instagram on Sunday to discuss all the hate she's received from online trolls who claim she's the one who broke up Desmond's marriage to his wife, Kristy. In December ... Kristy filed for divorce, citing alleged infidelity with Desmond, who later admitted he made "choices" he’s "not proud of."

In her video statement, Springer kicked things off by saying, "I am going to say this one time and one time only, I am not the one he cheated with."

She also says she's not transgender, as some have suggested, while defending Desmond in the face of insults about his own sexuality, stating he's clearly not gay.

"All That" alum Angelique Bates says Kianna Underwood's death was completely avoidable if her castmates or Nickelodeon had stepped in to help her out.

Angelique shared her thoughts on the tragic loss with TMZ over the weekend ... noting she first advocated for Kianna back in 2023 when videos of her homeless on the street gained traction. But, she says her pleas for help mostly fell on deaf ears, and little was done for Kianna. The former child star theorizes part of the underwhelming response has to do with Kianna being a minority -- it's all in the clip.

She supported her theory by mentioning another homeless Nickelodeon star was immediately offered assistance when social media videos showing them on the streets went viral. Angelique didn't name any names, but it's no secret Hollywood jumped into action to get 'Ned's Declassified' alum Tylor Chase -- who is white -- assistance when people caught wind that he was struggling with homelessness and mental health issues in recent weeks.

At the end of the day, Angelique says people involved in the "All That" franchise and Nickelodeon really dropped the ball, especially after Kianna made the network so much money. She argues that she, Kianna, and so many of her colleagues were done dirty by the network, and hopes they support their child stars better nowadays.

The Miami Hurricanes are a win away from adding a sixth national championship to their trophy case ... and Jeremy Shockey -- who won one of them in 2001 -- spoke with TMZ Sports about what he'd tell the players ahead of the biggest night of their lives.

"Try to be like a horse with blinders," Shockey said. "The distractions are going to come, it's a big week."

The 45-year-old said the team has already weathered the storm of the season, noting the Hurricanes have played in three high-stakes playoff games to get to this point.
