Reggie Bush did an awesome thing in L.A. the other day ... he gave money to TWO people in need ... but we noticed, one of the beggars got WAY MORE than the other.

Bush -- who was cruisin' around town in his $300,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom -- pulled over for a male beggar and handed the guy a crisp $20.

A short time later, he saw another person with a sign ... and stopped to give her a couple bucks as well.

Nice work, Reg.

Wrestling legend Mae Young has passed away ... and this time, it's for realsies.

90-year-old Young had been hospitalized on December 31 ... and her health rapidly declined. A local South Carolina media outlet had reported she passed away last week, but she was still kickin'.

Now, the WWE has confirmed ... Mae, who was in hospice care, died last night. Her cause of death was not revealed.

Young was a trailblazer who wrestled for 8 DECADES!!!

In fact, Mae and fellow pioneer female wrestler The Fabulous Moolah returned to the WWE back in 1999 -- when they were both in their 70s -- and were involved in numerous iconic moments like being powerbombed through a table by the Dudley Boyz ... and the birth of the "hand" icon.

WWE superstar John Cena was in NYC this morning ... and paid his respects to Young -- calling her a consumate professional and a wonderful person.

R.I.P.

The woman carrying Arian Foster's fetus is a gold digger ... and to prove it, she DRESSED UP LIKE ONE FOR HALLOWEEN ... and TMZ Sports has the photo.

Sources tell us Brittany donned the outfit for Halloween 2012 -- she posted the photo to her Instagram page along with the caption, "Now I ain't saying she a golddigger ... no wait yes she is."

Of course, the pic is interesting since Arian filed legal docs painting Brittany as a shameless fame whore who's trying to exploit the pregnancy to get a reality TV show.

And there's this ... Arian isn't the first pro athlete Brittany's been linked to. We know she was tight with NBA star Chase Budinger, who played for the Houston Rockets at the time.

In fact, she visited Chase in San Diego back in 2012. Unclear if they're still friendly.

She ain't messin' with no broke ...

Robert Griffin III tells TMZ Sports ... he's not worried about all of the people talking smack about him -- 'cause critics and haters are simply "part of the business."

It's interesting since RG3 just posted a Facebook rant in which he went off on the perils of fame ... and took shots at the people who said the Redskins had a crappy season because Robert was sidetracked by his endorsement deals.

But when the QB landed in DC on Tuesday, RG3 told us how he plans to handle the haters going forward.

FYI -- we also asked what was up with the bizarre tongue exercises he was doing on the sidelines during the final week of the regular season. Weeeeeird.

Kanye West just gained a HUGE ally ... 325-pound former NFL star Shaun Smith, who's PROUD Yeezy got violent with an alleged Kim K hater ... and says he woulda done the same thing.

Smith called in to the "TMZ Sports" show ... and told us if anyone called his wife an "n***er lover" (as the guy in the Kanye altercation allegedly did), he "might have to choke the sh*t out of him like Latrell Sprewell did P.J. Carlesimo."

He went on to defend his position -- it's clear, Smith is a guy you don't wanna piss off.

But Smith's former Cincinnati Bengals teammate Chad Johnson feels differently ... telling TMZ Sports West was wrong to resort to violence.

"[Ye] took the violent route and that isn’t’ the right thing, but protecting his family is a different thing… the words shouldn’t bother you and in a position like that… ignore it in general."

Shaun pointed out that Chad might of been singing a different tune back in 2005 ... when Johnson was more of a loose cannon.

Justin Bieber just got raided, but ex-NFL star Jordan Babineaux has a different kinda justice in mind -- and it involves a major ass whoopin' for JB! You gonna argue with the guy?

Plus, Arian Foster blasts the ex-bartender he knocked up -- claiming she's just using him to cash in with her own reality show. Does the term "blondashian" mean anything to you? Arian says it does to her.

An extremely emotional Arian Foster EXPLODED on a reporter in Houston moments ago -- telling the guy the legal war with his pregnant baby mama is "tearing me up."

The reporter, who works for FOX 26 in Houston had gone to Arian's home to get a comment -- standard operating procedure in the news world -- and that's when Arian went off.

The Houston Texans running back stood in his driveway and made it clear, he's not ready to open up about the situation yet ... yelling, "I'll talk to y'all when I feel it's right."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Arian -- who's married with children -- is being sued by a college student who says the NFL star pressured her to get an abortion and refuses to help out financially with the pregnancy.

Wayne Gretzky says he's pretty sure his daughter could DOMINATE him at golf -- after getting some private 1-on-1 lessons from her PGA star fiance -- but the Great One tells TMZ Sports, he still owns her on the ice.

#99 was at Dodgers Stadium promoting the return of hockey to the building ... when we asked him if he's seen Paulina's new and improved swing -- which she credits to her pro-golfer fiance Dustin Johnson.

Gretzky says he's positive Dustin's helping improve her stroke ... but he made one thing clear: he's still the king of the ice in the family.

Check out the video ... and pay your respects to the man who created this:

The Patriots were BLINDSIDED by LeGarrette Blount's sudden rise to superstardom -- at least the official team shop was, 'cause they're all SOLD OUT of his jerseys ... and now the team is scrambling to crank out #29s before the next playoff game.

With Blount going bonkers -- scoring 8 TD's in his last 3 games and becoming the first player in NFL history to put up +150 yds and 4 TD's in a single playoff game -- his jersey is becoming impossible to find.

We spoke to several shops in the Boston area, including the official Patriots team store ... and the story was the same everywhere -- WE'RE ALL SOLD OUT OF #29.

Makes sense, since Blount started the season as a backup running back ... but now, the official Pats team shop tells TMZ Sports, they''re literally printing up Blount jerseys one-by-one at the stadium to try to keep up with the demand.

"The Patriots ProShop is one of the few stores around licensed to make customized Nike jerseys," a rep tells us.

Evander Holyfield has issued an apology for talking about PUNCHING A HORSE on TV ... but here's the shocker, he never expresses any remorse for actually striking the animal.

As we previously reported, the former boxing champ appeared on "U.K. Celebrity Big Brother" and admitted he once punched a pregnant horse in the face because it bucked him off and he was embarrassed.

He also pissed off gay rights advocates during his stint on the reality show when he compared homosexuality to a "handicap" that could be fixed.

Now, after a public backlash, Holyfield is speaking out on Twitter ... saying, "I‘d like to take this opportunity to respond publicly about my recent statements regarding homosexuality and also my comments about animals."

"I am sorry to any person I may have hurt or offended" ... adding, "I am a man of compassion, and I believe that God loves everybody."

Notice he only apologized to people he "may have offended" ... NOT backing down from his statements OR his violent man-on-horse actions.

Arian Foster believes the woman carrying his child is trying to use the fetus to launch her reality TV career ... and even called herself a "blondashian," this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... a woman named Brittany is suing the Houston Texans running back claiming he knocked her up 17 weeks ago and pressured her to get an abortion, which she refuses to do.

Now, we've learned Foster filed a response ... in which he blasts Brittany as a shameless fame whore -- and he's begging the judge to seal her lips before she turns the legal battle into a media "carnival."

In his legal docs, Foster claims Brittany has "already indicated in social media postings announcing that she will participate in a reality show revolving around her pregnancy and thereby draw additional media attention."

Foster included a recent screen grab from what he believes to be Brittany's Twitter page in which she wrote, "Shooting interviews for the last casting reel for my family's reality show #blondashians."

So far, it doesn't appear the judge has granted Foster's request.

A spokesman for Foster had no immediate comment.

8:51 AM PT -- We spoke with Brittany who tells us she WAS in talks to star in a reality show, but never signed any contracts ... and she insists the show was NEVER supposed to be about being pregnant with Arian's child.

Brittany says the show is supposed to be about hot moms with hot daughters -- and she would star in the show with her mother.

Brittany says she would never exploit her child -- or the drama surrounding her child -- in a reality show.

Justin Bieber shouldn't go to jail for egging his neighbor's house last week ... but he DOES need someone to BEAT HIS ASS ... so says ex-NFL player Jordan Babineaux.

With Justin's neighbor pushing for incarceration, we asked the former Seattle Seahawks safety how JB should be punished for allegedly causing $20k in damage to his neighbor's home.

Jordan's response ... CLASSIC.

"I'd kick his little ass," Jordan said ... "I'd give him a wedgie and throw him in the pool."

There's more -- it's awesome.

TMZ Sports has obtained the photos of Tito Ortiz's battered Porsche, which the former MMA fighter crashed into a median while allegedly driving drunk last week.

As we previously reported, Ortiz wrecked his Porsche Panamera last Monday while driving on the 405 Freeway around 4:30AM after partying at the Playboy Mansion. He was arrested for DUI immediately following the crash.

The pics show Tito's car suffered some serious damage ... and sources tell TMZ Sports it's most likely unsalvageable.

Olympic gold medal skier and extremely white person Picabo Street tells TMZ Sports the key to her incredible career was a steady diet of HARDCORE GANGSTER RAP ... seriously.

Picabo and her husband touched down in NYC Monday ... where she told us she couldn't channel her killer instinct on the slopes without some help from Tupac and Biggie ... and she even named some of her favorite songs.

It worked ... Street had one of the most successful professional careers of any American skier.

Thug life.

Lane Kiffin is a puppy hater ... in fact, Lane tells TMZ Sports he hates his adorable little rascals so much, he's including them with the sale of his Manhattan Beach mansion.

The ex-USC football coach-turned-Alabama offensive coordinator vented about his pooches at LAX ... and even blames his wife for wanting to buy the doggies in the first place.

"They're killing me," Lane griped ... "That's the wife though, you know? Buy puppies thinking it's a good idea."

Orlando Hernandez -- aka El Duque -- has gone from World Series champ with the New York Yankees to just another angry dad at his kid's baseball game. The video is awesome, but was Duque justified ... or just a tool?

Plus, Houston Texans star Arian Foster sued by a woman who claims he knocked her up, and tried to force her into an abortion. Is the ex-bartender telling the truth? She was with us, live -- watch and decide.
