Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and model GF Irina Shayk both showed up to a European basketball game last night wearing skin-hugging pants.

Peyton Manning will never be taken seriously in Hollywood ... despite the fact he's made a bazillion commercials ... at least, according to mega-director Brett Ratner.

Ratner -- who directed the "Rush Hour" flicks -- was leaving Craig's in L.A. last night when we asked if he'd ever consider Peyton for a role in his movies ... since guys like Jeremy Piven say Manning's developed a great reputation as a commercial actor.

But Brett was quick to shoot it down -- telling TMZ Sports he just doesn't think Peyton's got what it takes to make the jump to the big screen.

For the record ... Brett Favre pulled it off in "Something About Mary" ... Terry Bradshaw was in "Failure to Launch" and of course, Dan Marino had a huge role in "Ace Ventura."

Sorry Peyton ... Hollywood's a brutal town.

Johnny Weir went full vampire on his husband Victor Voronov during a nuclear domestic dispute early this year -- nearly biting a chunk out of the guy's arm -- or so Victor claims ... and now, TMZ has obtained a photo of the damage.

Details surrounding the argument are unclear, but the bite mark is gnarly.

Victor filed a police report and Johnny was charged with simple assault back in January. Victor decided not to press the case and charges were dropped.

As we reported, Johnny and Victor had multiple issues leading up to Johnny filing for divorce last month.

49ers star Patrick Willis is Down Under with some other NFL giants -- and they are RULING the beaches and the babes in thongs. Easy pickings for these guys?

Plus, Floyd Mayweather Jr. gets his workout on ... to Justin Bieber's music. We know they're boys, but is this showing TOO much support?

Johnny Weir made it clear to hubby Victor Voronov -- him straying on Victor was inexcusable, but so was Victor vengefully defacing Johnny's Birkin handbags.

Johnny sent a remorseful email to Victor on Sept. 29, 2013 -- obtained by TMZ -- in which Johnny did a full-blown mea culpa for his misdeeds, but went on to scold Victor for destroying his precious purses.

Johnny writes, "If you decide to wreck things, please wreck cheaper things than Birkins." He goes on ..."The f*** you on the Birkin is kinda cool, though, you artist. I know you don't care about how I'll survive if you divorce me, but please leave my Birkin bags, Celine bags and Chanel bags alone."

It appears Johnny may be a little cash-strapped, because he says "I'm planning them as part of my eBay sale."

Johnny is incredibly remorseful in the email, expressing "eternal" love from "the depths of my broken heart."

So now it's clear ... Victor wasn't Johnny's only beloved accessory.

Rob Gronkowski ... aka GRONK ... is back! We had a hysterical run-in with the Patriots star while he was training in L.A. -- and while he definitely looks "jacked" ... will he be ready to go next season?

Plus, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo tries to upstage his supermodel GF Irina Shayk by jumping into a a super-tight pair of jeans! We know they look awesome on Irina ... but Cristiano??

KC Chiefs superstar Tamba Hali is sticking up for his former Penn State coach Joe Paterno in a new rap song ... in which he seems to blow off the PSU child rape scandal as "Sandusky bulls**t."

Hali -- who owns his own record label -- just dropped a new video called "Jodeci Freestyle" ... in which he references Paterno and addresses the haters.

"It's like he's gone ... but uh ... he's still living through me."

He adds, "Ya'll would never understand 'cause ya'll stuck on that Sandusky bulls**t."

The Sandusky BS that Hali could be referring to is the fact that Joe's legacy was forever tarnished by his inaction while Sandusky was raping at least 8 young boys -- including at least one he sexually assaulted in the Penn State locker room.

The jail inmate who was attacked by Aaron Hernandez does NOT want to testify against the NFL star because he doesn't want to "be a rat" ... this according to the victim's lawyer.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Aaron pummeled a fellow inmate back in February after a verbal dispute -- and now the victim's lawyer has ID'd the guy as 25-year-old Andrew Booker.

FYI -- Booker was arrested by a police gang unit back in in September with 16 bags of coke and a loaded gun in his waistband.

Hernandez was charged with assault and battery for the incident -- but Booker's attorney Michael Maloney tells The Sun Chronicle he doesn't want to testify against him.

"He doesn’t want to go after Hernandez. He doesn't want to be a rat,” Maloney says.

Maloney also said the fight started just like we said it did in our initial report -- "They were having a verbal feud. It escalated, got out of control and Booker was assaulted while handcuffed."

Maloney says Booker was punched and struck repeatedly ... and suffered cuts, bruises and scrapes.

Booker is now considering taking legal action against the Bristol County Sheriff's Department -- "He’s really disturbed he was allowed to be put in that situation."

GRONK STRONG!!!!

GRONK CAN DO 69 PUSH UPS!!!

GRONK PUMPED ABOUT "ENTOURAGE" CAMEO!

GRONK IN "BEAST MODE ... JACKED CENTRAL!"

That pretty much sums up our encounter with New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was out hiking in L.A. on Thursday after shooting his guest role for the "Entourage" movie.

Gronk appears to be crushing it in his recovery from ACL surgery -- and by the way he was throwing the football around, it seems his elbow is in good shape as well.

Michael Vick knows his price ... and it might be way too high for the NY Jets ... because he wants the jersey that belongs to the current starting QB -- and it's gonna be an issue during negotiations, TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's video of Olympic god Usain Bolt jack-hammering away on a lady friend in Trinidad during an erotic dance session in Trinidad the week BEFORE Carinval.

The dance is called "Daggering" ... for obvious reasons ... he's pretend-stabbing away like he's Brutus and she's Julius Caesar.

For the record, this type is dancing is par for the course at Carnival ... and the party never stops.

Just ask Jonathan and Jordan Babineaux ... who went to Carnival in Trinidad this year and admitted it kicked their ass.

Bolt doesn't seem to have that problem.

Forget school ties ... Duke alum Jay Williams tells TMZ Sports says the team he REALLY LIKES in the tournament is Iowa State.

Williams was outside PJ Clarke's in NYC yesterday when he gave us some last minute bracket advice. Yeah, we know it's too late to tweak now -- but Jay's pretty fired up about the Cyclones.

Johnny Weir has been gracious about his divorce from husband Victor Simon Weir-Voronov ... but TMZ Sports has learned the breakup is not just bitter ... it's vicious, with allegations of a shakedown.

Sources connected with Johnny tell TMZ Sports ... on Wednesday Victor's people called Johnny's lawyer and said a media outlet had contacted them offering money for an interview. Johnny's people say Victor's lawyer said his client would turn down the interview IF Johnny paid him $25,000 for lawyers fees, plus support.

Victor's people admit they did mention the interview and asked for support ... but the 2 were not connected.

And there's more. Victor claims Johnny blindsided him ... that he found out only Tuesday Johnny filed for divorce. But sources connected with Johnny say Victor is lying.

We know Victor is already on his second divorce lawyer. Johnny's people say that doesn't sound like a guy who just found out.

It's the question millions of couples ask themselves before entering the delivery room -- and now Jay Cutler's in the same boat -- does your wife want you to see EVERYTHING when she's giving birth?

Fortunately for the Chicago Bears QB -- he won't have to guess ... 'cause his wife Kristin Cavallari was out in NYC today and told us.

This is an AMAZING story ... Adrianne Haslet-Davis -- who lost her left leg in the Boston Marathon bombing -- is DANCING AGAIN after being equipped with a bionic limb.

After months of rumors ... from adultery to divorce ... Keyshia Cole has finally confirmed she and her NBA star husband 'Boobie' Gibson are separated.

Cole appeared with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 in New York this morning and when asked about the current status of her relationship with Gibson said, "We co-parent."

Cole implied that she and the Cleveland Cavaliers star are living apart -- and that he comes to her home at 8:30 AM every morning to pick up their son to take him to school. Cole says she picks the kid up at the end of the day ... adding, "We good."

Cole wouldn't say if either side has filed divorce docs yet -- but said the two still care for each other.
