Muhammad Ali was arguably the most famous celebrity in the world, so it's no surprise his death triggered a cascade of emotions from other celebs in all walks of life. Here's a sampling.

Lamar Odom flatly rejected the "tough love" intervention, so his other family is trying a different approach ... TLC.

Shane Mosley is dashing the hell out of Amir Khan's Olympic dreams -- saying it would be DUMB AS HELL to fight at the '16 Games in Rio after the way he was brutally K.O.'d back in May.

FYI, Khan has expressed serious interest in fighting for Pakistan at the summer games -- after the International Boxing Association finally voted to allow pros to compete for gold.

But after watching Khan nearly get decapitated by Canelo Alvarez last month, Mosely tells TMZ Sports, the dude needs to rethink his plan.

"I don’t think after getting knocked the f*** out Khan should be talking about representing anyone."

Damn.

As for Mosely, the boxer says he WILL be in Rio for the games, but not to fight ...

"I think there are better people than me to represent the USA. I will be in Rio for the games though. And having a lot of sex on the beach."

Good plan.

Andre Berto paid heartfelt respects to Muhammed Ali ... and it's clearly a long-held sentiment.

Ali was the inspiration for the former, 2X welterweight champ, and Berto has the pic to prove it.

Jamie Foxx paid his respects to Muhammad Ali ... and his tribute fit to a t.

Jamie was leaving The Villas in WeHo Friday night when he displayed an Ali t-shirt and a Cassius Clay jacket.

Foxx play Drew Bundini Brown, Ali's cornerman, in the movie, "Ali."

While we may not know who will win UFC 199 ... we do know that Luke Rockhold has been going hard at the gym in preparation for the main event.

The current UFC Middleweight Champion has got his eyes on the prize and he’s got an insanely ripped body to back him up. Check out Luke’s cut candids to help get you pumped for the epic bout.

Minnesota Vikings speedster Cordarrelle Patterson is showing love like all rich men do ... with diamonds ... blingin' out a custom neck piece to honor the two schools he loves.

TMZ Sports spoke to Albert Bekdas -- owner of Labelle Jewelry in New Jersey -- who tells us CP tasked him with combining his high school and college logos into one kick-ass piece.

That apparently entailed combining 10 carats of diamonds with 5 carats of sapphires into a shiny behemoth that set Patterson back over $15K.

And you thought showing up to the reunion was enough ... slacker.

With the Stanley Cup Finals officially underway, it’s only a matter of time before The Cup hits the road. Check out the stars who were able to get some quality time – and snap a pic – with Stanley himself.

Johnny Manziel is being sued for allegedly wrecking the Hollywood Hills mansion he rented back in April -- with the real estate broker claiming the QB threw drug-fueled ragers in the place and destroyed thousands of dollars in property.

The man behind the suit is Nicholas Goodwin -- who says he was approached by a man who called himself "Travis" about renting the 5,000 square foot pad back in April. When "Travis" showed up to the home, Nick recognized it was really Johnny Manziel.

Laila Ali is thanking the fans for the love and support after her father was hospitalized this week ... but did not provide any health updates.

She also posted a pic of Muhammad Ali with her daughter, Sydney, and added, "I love this photo of my father and my daughter Sydney when she was a baby!"

It's a hip-hop match made in Warriors heaven ... E-40 tells TMZ Sports he's ALL ABOUT teaming up with fellow Golden State superfan MC Hammer for a new hip-hop track -- and hopes to release it in the next year.

The legendary rapper joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV Show (airs tonight on FS1) to talk about Golden State's Game 1 thrashing ... when he told us about his long-standing friendship with Hammer.

So, when we asked if there would be a collab anytime soon, E-40 was ALL ABOUT IT -- saying, "The chances are for real for real ... we gotta put that in motion."

When Cristiano Ronaldo -- in all his shirtless, hairless glory -- says let's take a dip ... you take a dip.

The soccer superstar was busy on his other J-O-B ... pulling hot chicks during vacay in Ibiza.

We'd say the ladies are flocking to him because he just won the UEFA title with Real Madrid, but this is pretty much Cristiano on the daily.

With Muhammad Ali hospitalized in Arizona ... we asked UFC champ Robbie Lawler to tell us what "The Greatest" of all time means to him as a fighter.

Check out the clip ... it's nothing but respect and well-wishes for Ali.

Ex-NBA star Stephen Jackson says he called out a white guy in his gym -- to his face -- after he heard the man compare Serena Williams to a gorilla.

Jackson says he heard the man talking about the gorilla that got shot in Cincinnati -- when the white guy quipped, "They shot Serena? Serena got shot?"

Jackson says he debated whether or not to let it slide ... but ultimately opted for a confrontation.

"I straight up told old boy, 'I heard you and it's wrong.'"

8:33 AM PT -- Cops say Lynette ADMITTED to throwing an object at the back of LT's head -- 'causing a 3-inch laceration ... at one point saying, "Yeah, I beat [his] ass. I made him bleed."

Lynette later told officers she was just being sarcastic.

Cops also say alcohol was involved.

Cops say Lynette was a terror when they arrived to the scene -- cussing at them and trying to strike them with her arms and legs.

Despite the craziness, cops say LT told them he does not wish to prosecute.

Lynette was arrested anyway and faces domestic violence and resisting arrest charges.

Lawrence Taylor's wife, Lynette Taylor, has been arrested for domestic violence ... after the NFL star told police she attacked him during an argument in Florida ... TMZ Sports has learned.

42-year-old Lynette was arrested on Thursday on 1 count of domestic violence and 1 count of resisting arrest.

We've learned ... Lawrence told cops Lynette hit him in the back of the head causing a minor laceration.

Lynette denied the allegation -- telling officials, "That's a lie. My husband is a 300 pound linebacker."

The judge has already ordered Lynette to stay at least 500 feet away from L.T. for the time being -- no calls, texts or emails either.

Officials also noted that she has a history of alleged violence -- she was arrested at least 3 times (1991, 2001, 2008) ... but most charges were dropped.

Chicks are still into Warren Sapp ... well, at least one is ... 'cause the NFL Hall of Famer just got himself a new GF, one year after he beat up his last one.

Sapp just posted a pic of himself with his mystery lady -- along with the caption, "Couples that work out together ... "

No word on the identity of Sapp's new lady -- but it's pretty clear it's NOT the same woman he brutally attacked in Vegas last year (the old GF is black, new GF appears to be white).

As we previously reported, Sapp pled guilty to 1 count of domestic violence -- after his longtime girlfriend claimed Sapp bit her and stomped on her head during a fight that began at a Vegas hotel pool.

And just a few months before that, Sapp was arrested in Arizona for a violent incident involving 2 prostitutes.

But Sapp's off probation in both cases and essentially has a clean slate.
