There is money in Serena Williams' butt ... or in having one that looks exactly like it ... 'cause an L.A. model says that since Serena shouted her out as her official butt-a-like ... her phone has NOT stopped ringing.

The model's name is Olivia Griffian, and she tells TMZ Sports her life was changed after Serena posted a picture of the two standing back to back at a recent shoot with a caption that read, "Found my Doppelgänger which one is me?"

Olivia says after the post, her Instagram followers nearly doubled and she was inundated with calls from agents and managers wanting to rep her ... all because of her striking resemblance to Drake's boo.

It's no accident that she was body doubling for Williams ... she claims the two are friends and talk everyday ... but she never thought looking like her pal would be worth so much fame.

Check out the clip, and the gallery below ... she might actually give Serena a run for her money.

NBA sharpshooter Sasha Vujacic is pulling a Taylor Swift ... saying that him and his tennis superstar ex-fiancee Maria Sharapova are never, ever, ever getting back together.

Vujacic -- who just recently signed with the NY Knicks -- was at LAX when we tossed some questions at the former Laker ... most notably, if he ever thinks he'll get back on serve with Sharapova.

The two used to be quite the sports couple -- dating for years until they called off the engagement in 2012 ... but with Drake rekindling his romance with Maria's chief rival Serena, we had to know if reconciliation was on Sasha's brain.

The short answer? Hell no ... Vujacic bristles at the very mention of Sharapova, maybe because there is another lady in the clip who he may or may not be connected to.

American Pharoah -- the god of all horses just lost his first race in 9 tries after a shocking finish in New York.

The Triple Crown winner was racing in the Travers Stakes in Saratoga and you can see, Pharoah had the lead for most of the race. However, Keen Ice had other plans -- coming out of nowhere in the last second to take the W.

Two interesting comments from Hulk Hogan -- he's NOT mad with the WWE for cutting ties with him over the N-word ... and says he wants to make America great again, by running with Donald Trump!!!!

First, the WWE thing ... it's been more than a month since Vince McMahon wiped all traces of Hogan from the website after reports surfaced that he used the N-word in a racial rant years ago.

Even after several black wrestlers and celebs vouched for Hulk -- saying he's not a racist at heart -- Vince has refused to bring him back into the WWE universe.

So, how does Hogan feel about being blackballed? Check out the clip ... he views the situation more as a temporary "family" conflict and joked that the only "hard feelings" he's going to have is "when I get [Vince McMahon] in the ring again."

As for the Trump comments ... Hulk says he thinks the country is finally ready for Vice President Hogan, brother.

Are you?

Behold ... ASS SLAP REVENGE!!!

Shane Mosely's girlfriend took matters into her own hands yesterday -- dousing Ricardo Mayorga with water as a form of retaliation for that whole ass slap thing earlier this week.

TMZ Sports has the video ... showing Mayorga getting hit with the aquatic attack during the weigh in for tonight's big fight in Los Angeles.

Yes, we know ... it's definitely a shameless publicity stunt -- but it's funny. So watch the video.

Mara Teigen just got a message from her hockey player ex-boyfriend ... a message she and anyone else driving the Sunset Strip could see.

It appears Evander Kane isn't closing the book on her relationship, making it clear to the Wilhelmina model he still has love for her.

The Buffalo Sabres forward rented the billboard above 1 OAK in West Hollywood, which as billboards go is prime real estate and impossible to miss.

How good is Odell Beckham Jr.? So good that NFL legend Herschel Walker thinks he can defeat one of the most powerful forces in the history of sports ... the dreaded "Madden Curse."

Walker -- who is kicking the hell out of father time we must say -- was out in NY when we asked if Odell's 2015 season was in jeopardy ... since he's the coverboy for Madden '16.

If you didn't know ... some believe gracing the cover of Madden comes with seriously bad juju ... with athletes like Shaun Alexander, Daunte Culpepper, and Donovan McNabb suffering tragic injuries the same year they did it.

Check out the clip -- Herschel's heard of the curse but he basically thinks nothing ... not even supernatural forces ... can stop the force of nature that is Odell Beckham Jr.

The U.S. Marine who invited Ronda Rousey to his Marine Corps Ball says he's in "complete shock" after his video got nearly 4 MILLION views online ... and says he's still hopeful she'll say "Yes."

The Marine with the massive cojones is Jarrod Haschert -- who joined the guys on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" to update us on his plan to make Ronda his date for the December 11th event.

The bad news: he hasn't heard back from Ronda yet.

The good news: he's still super confident and even has a game plan in case she takes him up on the offer.

As if dominating youth league basketball was't enough, now Carmelo Anthony's kid has also locked up a modeling gig with Diddy's fashion line!!

8-year-old Kiyan Anthony just finished up a photo shoot with Sean Jean -- rockin' some back to school gear along with a designer basketball.

Kid's doing pretty well for himself so far ... as we previously reported, Kiyan's 2nd grade basketball team just dominated in a highly competitive 3rd grade national tournament.

So, how does his mom Lala feel about the situation? Proud.

Boxing stud Victor Ortiz -- a former "Dancing with the Stars" competitor -- has been charged with misdemeanor assault and battery for allegedly beating a guy up at a Jason Aldean/Kenny Chesney concert.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the 28-year-old -- who has appeared in several movies including "Expendables" and "Southpaw" -- was originally arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on July 25th after a fight broke out at the Rose Bowl.

Ortiz and his brother allegedly got into it with another man -- and officials say Ortiz kicked the man while was down.

The L.A. County District Attorney declined to press felony charges -- and kicked it down to the Pasadena City Prosecutor who decided to move forward with misdemeanor charges.

Ortiz was hit with assault and battery. If convicted, he faces up to 1 year in jail for each charge.

Victor's brother was charged with one count of battery causing serious bodily injury.

Ortiz is set to be arraigned next week.

Robin Williams' widow and his three kids are still warring over his possessions, including his super-expensive collection of bicycles.

The attorney for Susan Williams, Robin's widow, was in court Friday morning ... asking a San Francisco judge to settle the remaining property disputes with Robin's 3 children ... Zak, Zelda and Cody.

Robin was an avid cyclist and owned dozens of bikes when he died. It's been reported he spent more than a million bucks on the sport. Some of his cycles were extremely rare and worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The attorney for the children says Robin's will is clear about who should get what ... and doesn't think the court needs to intervene.

Both sides will meet next week in a last ditch effort to settle the matter without the judge.

How special was Darryl Dawkins???

He was such a bad ass, that Blake Griffin doesn't think ANYONE will ever get a pass to name his own dunks like "Chocolate Thunder" used to do.

Griffin was out in NYC yesterday when he told us Darryl's passing was super sad -- and told us he loved watching Dawkins' high-flyin' highlights when he was growing up.

Of course, Dawkins had a TON of nicknames for his favorite slams -- including "The Spine-chiller Supreme," the "Look Out Below" and the "Rim Wrecker."

Floyd Mayweather finally took an L ... courtesy of an NBA star who beat the boxer in a "Best of 5" pickup basketball game ... though Floyd definitely held his own.

Floyd went up against Boston Celtics PG, Isaiah Thomas, on the hardwood ... and even though they're close in height -- Floyd is 5'8" and Thomas is 5'9" -- Isaiah was playing on another level.

But we gotta admit ... in the footage featured on Showtime's "All Access" and pointed out by our friends at BSO, Mayweather flashed some skill ... and even sank a nice little teardrop.

Hey, there's always next time ...

Warren Sapp should be LOCKED UP in Arizona ASAP -- this according to prosecutors in his hooker case who are going to court TODAY to convince a judge he violated his plea deal.

Long story short ... Sapp was initially sentenced to 30 days in jail after he was busted with hookers back in February, but struck a plea deal which kept him out of lock up if he stayed out of trouble and completed a counseling program.

Problem is ... 2 months later, he was arrested for allegedly beating up his girlfriend in Vegas -- before completing his counseling.

The Arizona judge initially refused to throw Sapp in jail -- claiming Sapp had completed the course and was in the clear -- but prosecutors are calling BS, claiming Sapp never even enrolled in the program until 1 month AFTER his Vegas arrest.

Prosecutors say the case against Sapp couldn't be more crystal clear -- he broke the deal and must pay.

Sapp's case is due in front of a judge later today -- and the NFL Hall of Famer's freedom hangs in the balance.

Stay tuned ...

Dwayne Bravo is a HUGE star in the world of cricket -- he's the first cricketer to be nominated for an ESPY -- and when it comes to chicks, Bravo says he pulls more ASS than ANY soccer star.

He's not kidding either ... despite the fact cricket hasn't exactly caught on in the U.S., Bravo says the sport is massive internationally ... and there are several countries where he's bigger than Ronaldo!

"If I'm in India or Trinidad or the Caribbean ... it's game over," Bravo says.

And on a global level, Bravo says Ronaldo and other soccer stars may get more attention, "but I get more females than anyone!"

Ronda Rousey is following the footsteps of some unlikely people ... Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge and even Kim Kardashian -- she's starring in a hot Carl's Jr. commercial.

The UFC superstar strips down to a sports bra and sexes it up to promote the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Breakfast Sandwich.

She looks good ... damn good.

Gonna assume she got paid pretty well for the spot -- and, while it probably won't put her on the Forbes list, if she can continue to lock down mainstream sponsors like this ... she could definitely get there.
