Marlon Wayans believes Bruce Jenner's laryngeal shave is the first step toward becoming a woman -- but he's moving too slow -- telling Bruce, "Just get the breasts" already!!"

We broke the story, Bruce already consulted a plastic surgeon about reducing the size of his adam's apple -- though Bruce insists it's NOT the first step of gender reassignment, it's just because he doesn't like the way his throat looks.

Still, Marlon ain't buyin' Bruce's explanation -- and on his way out a "What the Funny" event he told us, "I think slowly but surely he's been turning himself into a woman all these years."

"Why don't Bruce Jenner just go and get the titties now ... just get the breasts."

Jameis Winston's accuser claims she didn't realize the man who (allegedly) raped her was the Florida State QB until she HAD A CLASS WITH HIM the following semester ... so says one of her closet friends.

As we previously reported, the accuser told cops she didn't know the identity of her alleged assailant immediately following the Dec. 2012 incident ... only that he was an FSU football player.

But last month, the accuser's good friend and confidant Monique Kessler told investigators (under oath) that the accuser connected the dots when she went back to school the semester following the incident.

According to Monique, "[The accuser] went to one of her classes and she made direct eye contact with [Jameis], and he looked in shock, and so did she."

Monique says, "She said she just knew right then it was him – and listened for them to call roll in class. [She] listened to him say [his name]."

After that ... the accuser says she went back to police and fingered Jameis as the man who raped her. She dropped out of school a short time later.

Ultimately, Winston was never charged with a crime -- when investigators decided they didn't have enough evidence to get a conviction.

He can barely walk, but Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski says his obliterated knee won't keep him from appearing in the upcoming "Entourage" movie.

TMZ Sports spoke with Gronk's entertainment manager Henry Penzi who tells us ... despite the fact he tore the MCL and ACL in his right knee last weekend, the NFL star is still excited for his big screen cameo. As we previously reported, Gronk will be playing himself in the flick.

We're told Gronk is scheduled to shoot his scene in February -- roughly 2-and-a-half months into his recovery. Usually, it takes about a year to heal from Gronk's injury (unless you're Adrian Peterson).

Tiger Woods' half-brother was arrested in Arizona on Thursday after officials say he called up the government building where he works and threatened to BLOW IT UP ... TMZ Sports has learned.

58-year-old Earl Dennison Woods Jr. -- who has the same father as Tiger -- allegedly called in a bomb threat to the Arizona Department of Economic Security office in Phoenix around 8:30 AM.

Security evacuated the building and conducted a search -- and during the search, Earl allegedly admitted he made the call ... but said it was supposed to be a joke.

Ha. Ha.

Officials weren't laughing and Woods was arrested and booked on suspicion of use of an electronic communication device to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass.

VP Joe Biden broke the news to us ... he and Pres. Obama don't exchange Christmas gifts -- but they do exchange some pretty cool birthday gifts ... and it's all about golf.

Plus, sexy Olympic hurdler Michelle Jenneke. You've seen her ridiculously hot warm up for races, but how does she look in the off-season? Umm ... judge for yourself.

Alex Rodrigez' powerhouse publicist is taking a strong stance in his fight against MLB -- accusing the league of concocting a public smear campaign ... designed to humiliate him into personally cleaning up its rampant steroid mess.

As we reported, MLB wants to hold Michael Sitrick in contempt for refusing to fly to NYC to testify in its case to suspend A-Rod for using steroids.

Sitrick had previously refused on the grounds it was inconvenient to make the 2,400-mile trip from L.A. to New York ... but now he's filed new legal docs, accusing MLB of playing extra dirty by filing the contempt request.

In the docs, Sitrick claims the contempt request was filed just to gain publicity and nationally shame him into testifying. He now insists he has the right to refuse questioning completely.

But why does MLB want Sitrick so badly? One theory is it's because the league is taking a beating in the media right now -- with reports circulating that MLB acquired steroid evidence against A-Rod through shady means -- and it wants Sitrick to make A-Rod look like the shady one instead.

The Roc was definitely in the building today when Robinson Cano signed his $240 MILLION contract -- Jay Z stood over his shoulder to make sure every last "i" was dotted on the deal that makes Jay way richer too.

Cano and his agent, aka Jigga, were surrounded by Seattle Mariners brass as he inked the contract at Safeco Field this afternoon.

The signing is the first MLB deal for Roc Nation Sports -- and Jay's cut is reportedly $12 million.

The heroic father who saved his daughter from a flying Chicago Bulls player last night ALSO has a history of saving the biggest celebs in the world -- including Diddy and Lady Gaga -- because he's ... THEIR LAWYER.

In case you missed the game -- a 6'7" 200-pound Bulls rookie named Tony Snell jumped into the stands for a ball ... nearly tackling a toddler ... but the little girl's father saved her at the last second.

The interesting part -- aside from the awesome save -- is that the father is Kenny Meiselas, a famous NYC attorney who has repped the likes of Diddy, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, and Whitney Houston. Pretty cool.

Devean George has gone from NBA champ to hotshot developer ... spearheading a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR project that could change an entire city ...and he's pumped about it.

George -- who played in the league for 11 years -- was at LAX yesterday when he told TMZ Sports all about why he believes his 45-unit affordable housing project in Northern Minneapolis will completely change the game.

The 3-time NBA champ -- who grew up a couple blocks away from complex -- says the project will not only help cash-strapped families live in "fly" pads ... but it will also create a bunch of local jobs.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart had to avoid a face full of Yokozuna poop one time while wrestling in India ... and the Excellence of Execution says it was the grossest moment of his career.

Hart was being interviewed by Arda Ocal this week in Canada when he dropped the bomb about Yoko's crappy Indian experience back in the 90's.

Bret says the food and water made a lot of the wrestlers sick -- including Yokozuna -- and when the 589-lb wrestler attempted his signature butt drop ... Hart looked up to see diarrhea covered trunks.

The former WWF champ escaped the poo ... but he goes into gross detail describing the whole experience -- so don't watch if you're eating.

R.I.P. Yokozuna.

Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. would NOT approve of Jim Brown's racially charged critique of Kobe Bryant ... so says Kobe, who just lashed back at the NFL legend.

Kobe was obviously listening when Jim went on "Arsenio Hall" this week and said Kobe doesn't understand black culture in America because he was raised in Italy.

Brown implied Kobe broke the black code when he threw Shaq "under the bus" in 2003 ... telling investigators Shaq also strayed from his marriage when he was questioned during the Colorado rape investigation.

It may not have been a racial faux pas, but the fact is Kobe did throw Shaq under the bus.

So, we gotta ask ..

Michael Jordan's disgusting sweaty shoes from Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals just sold for $104,765 at auction ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The sneaks were worn by Jordan during his famous Flu Game -- when the Chicago Bulls came back to win Game 5 in the '97 finals against the Utah Jazz ... even though MJ was sick as a dog. MJ scored 38 points, with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The Bulls went on to win the Championship in Game 6.

The Flu Game is one of the most famous games in NBA history.

MJ signed the shoes for a ball boy who worked the game ... and they eventually ended up for auction this month on Grey Flannel Auctions. The auction finally ended this morning.

So far, it's unclear who placed the winning bid.

Insane.

"Real Housewives of Bev Hills" star Brandi Glanville wasn't exactly off-base when she "joked" about black people not being able to swim, 'cause the numbers show race is still an issue when it comes to drowning ... so says U.S. Olympic champ Cullen Jones.

Glanville ignited a firestorm on a recent episode of her reality show when one of her castmates revealed they couldn't swim and Brandi quipped, "You’re a black person!”

She later explained, "It was a joke, and my black friends would have laughed [like] crazy, because they don’t go in the pool because they will get their weaves f**ked up!"

But Cullen Jones -- 4-Time Olympic medalist and 1st African American to break a world record in swimming -- tells TMZ, "[Brandi's comments] seem to be more of a cultural indictment rather than a true studying of the facts, but it is true minorities need more access to lessons!"

"It is unfortunate that race is still an issue associated with drowning in the United States, but in many communities due to lack of access to water, training and funds, minorities are still disproportionately at risk to drown."

In fact, a recent study conducted by a University of Memphis professor shows there are some African-American women who refuse to learn how to swim because they are worried about having to get their straightened hair wet.

Kobe Bryant turned his back on a teammate and his culture by ratting out Shaquille O'Neal -- at least that's what NFL legend Jim Brown thinks. Do you agree with Jim ... is Kobe out of touch with African-American culture?

Plus, the "old guy" in that viral video from an ASU football game ... y'know the one where he straight kicks a student right in the face? Well, he joined us to explain why he went all Chuck Norris -- and turns out there's a baby involved!

And Dwyane Wade and LeBron James melt for another pop star. Hey, at least this time it was Justin Timberlake -- but what the hell's going on with these superstars-turned-fanboys??

UFC champ Jon "Bones" Jones is PSYCHED he got his driver's license back this afternoon ... after losing it for 6 months when he drunkenly crashed his Bentley into a pole, TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... Bones was arrested last May when he totaled his whip while driving drunk in Binghampton, NY, and his license got revoked for 6 months as part of his plea deal.

So why didn't he get his license back when he was eligible last January? We're told he's a bad procrastinator with a busy travel schedule ... plus he just got used to being chauffeured around.

But Jones is pumped to be back behind the wheel (for better or worse) ... and posted a hilarious video to Instagram looking giddier than a 16-year-old who just passed the permit exam.

As for his next car purchase ... his manager tells us "He’s really into pickups. He wants a sporty truck. But who knows. He could change his mind and want a Ferrari tomorrow.”

The old man who booted an ASU student in the face during a recent football game has finally broken his silence ... telling TMZ Sports he only got violent to protect his pregnant daughter from a pack of aggressive, drunken jerks.

The man who fired the kick, who wants to be identified as "Mark," says the group of students started picking on him because he accidentally wore a blue shirt to the ASU vs. U of A game (blue is one of UA's colors).

Mark -- who insists he's a diehard ASU fan -- says the students not only harassed him verbally, but started closing in on him and his family, which included a pregnant daughter ... and he got scared.

That's when one student finally got too close to Mark's comfort "bubble" ... and he took matters into his own feet.

After the kick, the students piled on Mark, but he says he was barely touched. Mark claims his daughter was hit in the stomach, but she's ok.

Mark says he's not proud of the incident, but believes he did what he had to do to get out of a tough situation.

As for the students, we're told they're saying Mark was the one who had been running his mouth prior to the altercation ... and he's the real bad guy since he threw the first blow.
