You've just been drafted by the Los Angeles Rams and are set to begin your NFL career ... what's the first thing on your mind when you touch down in Tinseltown?

MOVIE STARDOM!!!

That's the case with Rams rookies Brandon Chubb, Pharoh Cooper, and Brian Randolph ... 'cause we got the kids out at LAX and asked who they'd wanna star in a big movie with ... and the answers flowed.

Check out the clip -- the three guys had two different answers ... with two going the big Hollywood star route, and one obviously wanting to sip a little on-screen lemonade.

Diana Nyad -- one of the greatest swimmers of all time -- says the water situation in Rio is a "mess" ... telling TMZ Sports she's extremely concerned for the health of our Olympic athletes.

Long story short ... Nyad essentially says the decision to host the Olympics in Rio was a huge mistake -- because the water is putrid and people are getting seriously sick.

Nyad says it's too late to switch venues now -- but the athletes have a serious decision to make ... boycott for your health ... or risk it all for Olympic glory.

Cops have made an arrest in the hit and run death investigation of Bellator fighter Jordan Parsons -- who died earlier in the week after being run down by a Range Range in Florida.

A spokesman for the Delray Beach police say they arrested 28 yr. old Dennis Wright -- after receiving a tip that Wright was the man behind the wheel when Parsons was struck.

Delray P.D. say Wright's mother owns a silver Range Rover ... the vehicle believed to have hit Parsons. Police located the car ... which was missing the driver's side mirror that was recovered at the accident scene.

Wright -- whose license is suspended -- is believed to have been traveling in excess of 100 M.P.H. He is facing multiple charges ... including leaving the scene of a crash involving death.

Jordan Parsons was 25 years old.

Horses and riders hit the turf hard Saturday after a crash during a race leading up to The Kentucky Derby.

Luckily, reports say all riders and horses were OK after the accident.

Michael Phelps just got the final product of his very own swimmers ... he's now the proud dad of a new baby boy.

Phelps posted the pic Saturday welcoming Boomer Robert who was born Thursday night. You can also see Phelps' fiancee Nicole Johnson in the background who Michael says was healthy and feeling good post-baby.

Add raising a new kid to Phelps' list of responsibilities ... he's got the Olympics coming up in just a few weeks.

Victor Espinoza and his prized horse American Pharoah have one thing in common -- their sex lives are larger than life.

Espinoza, who was at the Galt House Friday night for the Fillies & Lillies party in Louisville, says Pharoah sometimes breeds with 4 mares per day.

Victor's riding Whitmore Saturday, which has 30 - 1 odds of winning. Victor, of course, is a Triple-Crown-winning Jockey who won the derby in 2002, 2014, and 2015. He rode American Pharoah last year.

And Victor gives the thumbs up to horse sex tapes.

Chyna was seriously struggling before she died -- so much so, police found her wasted and passed out on the ground outside her apartment building ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement tells us they got a call in November for a woman lying unconscious at 7 AM in Redondo Beach, CA -- and when they arrived, officers found Chyna. We're told she was slurring her speech, had bloodshot eyes and reeked of booze.

Cops say Chyna admitted drinking wine the night before and said she decided to sleep outside because she was struggling with her keys. She was also carrying nearly $20k in cash she says she made at an autograph session.

Paramedics on scene determined she was too drunk to take care of herself, and cops booked her for public intoxication.

Chyna was found dead on April 20. Her cause of death is still under investigation.

Johnny Manziel -- future NFL commentator?? It's possible.

With his playing career likely over, we asked CBS honcho Les Moonves if he would ever consider the former Heisman Trophy winner for a job in the booth.

The answer wasn't a resounding YES -- but it wasn't no either.

"He'd have to audition like 50 other guys do," Moonves said.

Johnny Manziel didn't let a domestic violence case cramp his style ... he hit up 3 clubs Friday night in Hollywood.

Johnny -- who faces misdemeanor assault charges for allegedly hitting his ex-girlfriend -- went power-clubbing, from Nice Guy, to Hyde, to Bootsy Bellows all within two hours.

We're about to reach a whole new level of Steve-O craziness ... 'cause he's freakin' calling out ISIS ... and he's doing it in the name of UFC fighter Tim Kennedy.

Kennedy's situation is no laughing matter ... the FBI was investigating "credible threats" against the fighter -- an uber Patriot -- earlier this year ... believing those threats were possibly coming from ISIS operatives.

Steve-O and Kennedy are buds ... so much so that Steve-O let Tim CHOKE HIM OUT at a recent comedy show ... and when we ran into the "Jackass" star at LAX he let it be known ... he's got Tim's back.

For the record ... Tim Kennedy is an ex-Green Beret ... Steve-O is not.

Check out the clip.

If Lamar Odom was expecting special red carpet treatment when he makes his return to hoops at L.A.'s legendary Drew League -- he's wrong. People will be GUNNING to crush him on the court.

Don't believe us? Just ask "One Tree Hill" star Antwon Tanner -- an ex-college hoops player who's been a regular at The Drew for 20 YEARS!!!

As we previously reported, Odom's been offered a spot on a Drew squad -- and it would be the PERFECT opportunity to show NBA teams he can still ball at a pro level ... considering a bunch of NBA players often play in the league.

So, the question ... would people go easy on Odom considering he ALMOST DIED SIX MONTHS AGO?

Tanner says it's exactly the opposite ... Odom would actually be a HUGE target.

MMA powerhouse Gabi Garcia got some new chest ink in Brazil -- but they wouldn't let go under the needle without covering up her lady parts first.

She's also a protege of Anderson "Spider" Silva ... who says she hits like a ton of bricks.

Justin Tuck had a reverse Kobe Bryant style retirement Friday -- instead of people showering him with gifts, he was the one doing the giving ... handing out 70 BOTTLES of $200 scotch.

The former NY Giants superstar signed an honorary 1-day contract with the team today so he could retire as a G-Man ... and passed out bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label to 70 people -- media members, coaches and executives.

"I wanted to thank all the people who have had an impact on my career and helped me get to this incredible milestone," Tuck said.

"To recognize their love and support, I’m giving each a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label -- just like I did for my team after winning Super Bowl XLVI in 2012."

Conor McGregor just hit the red carpet at the VIP Style Awards in Ireland -- the first event he's been at since Dana White yanked him out of UFC 200.

The Bellator MMA company says it has "plans to help cover the costs" for the funeral of Bellator fighter Jordan Parsons, who died Wednesday after being struck in a hit-and-run incident.

Parsons' manager has said the fighter didn't have a lot of money when he died -- and with huge medical expenses and funeral costs ... Bellator says it wants to help ease the burden on his family.

A GoFundMe page for Parsons raised $36k to cover doctor bills and other costs. If there is money left over, Parsons' manager says the funds will be donated to a cause in Jordan's name.

Jordan had been fighting with Bellator since 2014. He was killed after bring struck by a Range Ranger in Florida on Sunday. Officials are still trying to find the driver.

Derek Fisher was speeding down the 405 Freeway this week ... but don't worry, he WASN'T on the way to a rematch with Matt Barnes.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the ex-Lakers star was clocked doing 80ish in a 65 on Wednesday night. No big deal, just a ticket and he was on his way.

The good news -- we're told Fisher couldn't have been nicer during the stop and didn't even try to play the "Do you know who I am?" card.
