Gronk gonna Gronk ... even at sea.

Check out the scene on the cruise last night -- the Gronk bros turnin' all the way up with DJ Whoo Kid and Waka Flocka ... while a bunch of chicks twerked all over the boat.

Kobe Bryant suffered a fickle finger of fate Friday night ... a dislocated finger to be exact, that was yanked back into place much to the horror of a female fan.

Bryant and The Lakers were taking on The San Antonio Spurs in L.A. Friday night when Kobe's right middle finger popped out of joint. Bryant's doc gave the finger an ol' fashioned tug and the digit went back to its proper place.

Mickey Rourke's offended by Manny Pacquiao's aggressively anti-gay comments, because he says he's "a little gay" himself.

Mickey went to The Nice Guy in WeHo Friday night, and actually gave Manny a marginal Old Testament pass, though he made it clear the boxer's comments were abhorrent.

Manny Pacquiao is a "f**king idiot" -- so says "Guardians of the Galaxy" star Dave Bautista ... who says he's EXTREMELY offended by the boxer's anti-gay comments because his mom's gay.

The former WWE superstar -- who also happens to be Filipino -- went off on Pacman at LAX.

"My mom happens to be a lesbian so I don't f**king take that sh*t. I dont think it's funny."

"If anyone called my mother an animal i'd stick my foot in his ass."

Beyonce must come forward and tell the world her Super Bowl performance was NOT an attack on cops ... that's what the rank and file in the NYPD want, and want badly.

Our NYPD sources admit they don't believe Beyonce was advocating hostility toward police in her homage to the Black Panthers. Problem is ... they say that's the way it came across for millions of viewers.

We're told cops are bitter and want her to publicly disavow violence or any other type of aggression toward police. While she's at it, they'd also like an explanation as to what she really meant.

All that said, our sources were quick to add they will fully protect Beyonce when she's in NYC.

The two former college football players who allegedly teamed up in at least 7 robberies used violent tactics and weapons on innocent victims including women ... and in one case held a knife to a victim's throat ... this according to investigators.

Here's former NBA player Delonte West -- looking worse for wear out in Houston earlier this week.

It's actually a sad story ... the person who shot the photo is a huge basketball fan and said they noticed the former 1st round draft pick wandering around outside of a Jack in the Box around 10 PM all by himself with no shoes.

When the fan approached him and asked, "Are you Delonte West?" -- he replied, "I used to be but I'm not about that life anymore."

Here's video proof Josh Gordon is taking this whole "NFL comeback" thing seriously ... he's in a hardcore training program in a famed L.A. gym with a famous L.A. trainer.

The Cleveland Browns wide receiver -- who applied for reinstatement into the NFL after a drug suspension -- has been working out with Jay Glazer at Unbreakable Performance Center in L.A. and we gotta say ... he doesn't look rusty at all.

Sources close to the Gordon say Josh has been keeping himself in insane shape during his suspension -- and has been laser focused at getting his career back. As one source put it, "He's all in."

Anyone hoping for a Kobe comeback after his farewell tour is over brace yourself ... 'cause current Warriors -- and former Lakers GM Jerry West says IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

Jerry was arriving into LAX when we had to ask whether he thought there was any chance Mamba could pull a Jordan ... and come back after a couple years away from the NBA.

West is a guy who'd know ... he's the dude who made the move to get Bryant in purple and gold in the first place and the two have remained close friends even after West left L.A.

Check out the clip -- Logo throws cold water all over anyone wishing for an encore ... saying as far as he knows Bryant will NEVER play another NBA minute.

More smack talk from Donald Trump ... this time he's calling out Barack Obama -- saying he'd destroy POTUS if they ever battled it out on the links.

Trump was in South Carolina when he was asked straight up how he thinks he would fare against the commander in chief. His response -- "I would win. No seriously ... I would."

Trump went on to say that he's won "many club championships" in his day -- though he didn't name one specifically.

"I love golf. Golf is a great thing," Trump added.

"When the President plays golf it's okay, but he should play with people he wants to make deals with ... congress people and people from other countries ... Not just his friends."

By the way, Trump is said to shoot in the high 70s ... Obama reportedly hits in the 90s. In fact, Trump's swing has been praised by famous golf swing coach Hank Haney.

Here's your winner of the day ... Larsa Pippen.

UFC legend BJ Penn says he absolutely did NOT assault a woman back in August -- saying the allegations are completely bogus and stem from a former employee who was bitter at being fired.

As we previously reported, a woman filed a police report against Penn claiming he roughed her up at her home back in August. The UFC said it is also investigating the situation.

Now, Penn's rep tells TMZ Sports the allegations "simply aren't true" ... and say the timing of the police report is very suspicious.

Penn's camp says Pedro was fired from his job as a writer on BJ's website BJPenn.com last year but his GF didn't file a police report until February 16th ... the same day Pedro received his final severance check.

Penn's rep says, "In the almost 15 years that Penn has been a champion fighter there has not ever been any incident or allegation in regards to his conduct with women. He is a family man and father of two young daughters with a long term girlfriend. It is unfortunate that someone that BJ considered family is trying to extort him."

10:12 AM PT -- We spoke with Pedro who is adamant he and his girlfriend are NOT trying to extort BJ.

"There have been absolutely no talks about money."

"All [my girlfriend] wants is closure and accountability so this never happens to another woman ever again."

Pedro says he has text messages from BJ that corroborate his girlfriend's story.

Jon Jones caught a HUGE break during his traffic stop in New Mexico last month -- with the officer telling the UFC star he let him off easy after going 75 in a 35 WITHOUT a driver's license.

TMZ Sports obtained the audio from the January 31st incident -- in which Jon is extremely polite and explains that he didn't realize he was going so fast.

The cop asks for Jon's driver's license, registration and proof of insurance but Jones says he doesn't have it on him ... explaining he was running late for MMA practice and didn't have his stuff in order.

Jon then says he lost his license a while back and has been driving with his passport instead -- the cop explains he can't do that.

In the end, the cop tells Jon he could have busted him for reckless driving -- a misdemeanor -- which could have violated the terms of Jon's probation stemming from his hit and run conviction.

Instead, the cop only cited Jon for driving without a license, proof of insurance and registration -- and explains, "You're getting a huge break dude."

At the end of the stop, the cop admonishes Jones -- "Just drive normal, okay? I mean, yeah you got a cool car but there's no need to go drive crazy and kill somebody or kill yourself. It ain't worth it dude."

Ronda Rousey's boyfriend Travis Browne says he vowed to support Ronda "in any way I could" after her devastating loss to Holly Holm -- saying he would "go through hell and back for her."

Earlier this week, Ronda admitted that she thought about killing herself after the fight -- and Browne helped her get out of that dark place.

"I was there to support her in any way I could, just like any man would do for his woman,” Browne told Activ8Media.

"It’s pretty simple. There’s no magic in it. We go through those dark times and we need someone to lean on. I hate the fact that she had to go through that dark time, but like she said, it happened for a reason and there’s a great purpose."

"This is our story and this is our life, and I would go through hell and back for her."

The superfight at Jerry World is one step closer to fruition ... 'cause Oscar De La Hoya met with Jerry Jones Thursday to discuss Canelo Alvarez vs. GGG at AT&T Stadium.

As we previously reported, Gennady Golovkin's camp had been in touch with Jones -- who expressed great interest in hosting the fight at his mega-stadium in Dallas in September.

Well, Oscar reps Canelo -- and made the trip to Big D to push along the conversation ... and by the looks of things, it's going well.

There are two other venues in the running -- the MGM Grand in Vegas and NYC's Madison Square Garden ... but we're told both sides REALLY want to make this thing happen in Dallas.

BTW, we spoke with GGG earlier this week about the prospect of fighting at AT&T Stadium -- and the guy was PUMPED ... telling us it would be "HUGE" for the sport.

Despite the fact Nike kicked him to the curb, Manny Pacquiao is continuing to train in his signature gear ... and posting the videos on social media.

Seems the only way Manny will separate himself from the brand is if the Swoosh has sex with another Swoosh.
