Russell WIlson has mad skills ... the Seahawks QB buzzed his stadium Friday night as he took his fiancee on a scenic helicopter spin.

Check out the video that Ciara shot ... Russell is aggressively chomping on a stick of gum as he maneuvers the chopper around CenturyLink Field.

Ciara posted the video with the caption, "When your baby is the pilot #chopper #datenight."

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson got into a fierce battle Friday night -- sort of -- with his trainer over a piece of Starbucks pound cake.

Rampage was poised to bite into the delicious pastry when trainer Tiki Ghosn had other ideas.

Tiki seemed deeply concerned over Rampage's upcoming Bellator fight against Satoshi Ishii.

Muhammad Ali's grandson WILL be able to get PAID as a model and play college football at the same time ... and it's all because he was SMART enough to sign with an agency right now.

Chris Pratt ain't no punk -- dude can REALLY fight ... telling TMZ Sports he was a competitive wrestler for more than 10 YEARS before he became a world famous actor.

Cris "Cyborg" Justino says her black widow bite was so bad, she required hospital care ... but says she's confident she'll resume MMA training as early as next week.

As we previously reported, Cyborg was bit by the venomous spider while gardening at her L.A. home last week.

Cyborg says she didn't realize what bit her at first -- but the wound got really bad and painful ... and she finally went to the hospital when she began to feel extremely sick.

It might be time for Steph Curry to have a Twitter boundaries talk with wife -- at least according to NFL safety Dashon Goldson who says that's what he would do if his lady pulled an Ayesha.

Dashon -- who spent 9 years in the NFL -- says he likes that Ayesha does her thing on social media ... but if he was in Steph's shoes, he'd try to explain why calling out the NBA is a HUGE distraction during the NBA playoffs.

BTW, Goldson was leaving Barney's in Bev Hills where he dropped $5k on his dad for Father's Day, which is THIS SUNDAY.

Sacramento Kings player Darren Collison has been charged with misdemeanor domestic violence for allegedly attacking his wife ... and faces up to a year in jail if convicted, officials say.

As we previously reported, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office says a woman called cops at 2 AM on May 30th to report that she was being assaulted inside the home.

When cops arrived, "deputies found that the woman had visible injuries and they arrested Darren Collison, 28, on a charge of domestic violence."

In court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, officials say Collison SPIT on his wife in a "separate but related incident" from the same night.

Now officials say they believe they have enough evidence to convict Collison of battery and corporate injury to a spouse ... both misdemeanors.

As if the Cavs needed another reason to clinch Game 7 ... a Cleveland bar is offering LeBron and co. FREE FOOD FOR LIFE if they bring home the title this Sunday!!

Red Bar and Lounge -- about a 20 minute drive from Quicken Loans Arena -- is pumped about the potential victory and said, if they win, they will hook up every single player on the roster with free grub for life.

One of Red Bar's owners, Maha Metri, tells TMZ Sports, "Cleveland has been waiting for over 50 years for a championship. With one game away LeBron and the team can make the city's dream come true."

Ron Lester -- who famously played Billy Bob in "Varsity Blues" -- is hospitalized in critical condition and it doesn't look good ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We've confirmed the 45-year-old actor is hospitalized in Dallas. Multiple people connected to Lester tell us he's been there for roughly 4 months and his health has been in a steady decline.

Lester had revealed he was hospitalized back in November due to liver issues. We're told there were also problems with his kidneys.

He also reached out to TMZ back in January and told us he was having complications with his heart ... but seemed to be in good spirits and even joked about the situation.

Lester shot to fame as the lovable heavyset lineman in the 1999 football flick ... starring alongside James Van Der Beek, Paul Walker and Scott Caan. He also appeared in "Not Another Teen Movie" and "CSI: NY."

Lester battled weight issues for years -- reportedly weighing as much as 508 pounds before undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 2001. He lost nearly 350 pounds after that.

Marshawn Lynch just took the whole "Beast Mode" thing to another level -- surviving among WILD ANIMALS to tape an episode of Bear Grylls' survival show.

The ex-NFL star touched down in what appears to be Corsica -- to spend 48 hours surviving in the wild for an upcoming episode of 'Running Wild.'

The good news for Lynch -- they seem to have some serious personal security -- courtesy of the French Foreign Legion (pictured above).

Lynch Snapchatted some of the scenery -- including some cool shots from the chopper.

He's not the first NFL star to join Bear on the show ... Drew Brees conquered the challenge last year ... and Deion Sanders survived before that. Also, President Obama starred in an episode in Alaska back in December.

Johnny Manziel just cut his last tie to the city of Cleveland ... cause there's a "SOLD" sign on the front of his nice suburban home, TMZ Sports has learned.

Shaquille O'Neal's no idiot ... and SMARTLY turned down an epic invitation to party with Charlie Sheen and rock legend Matt Sorum back in the '90s ... 'cause he thought he would die.

"The refs were just bad last night ... they had no idea how to control the flow of that game."

Here's Bill Simmons giving his take on Game 6 -- and calling out the refs for sucking out loud.

The NBA has hit Steph Curry with a $25,000 fine for throwing his mouthpiece into the stands -- hitting a fan -- during Game 6 of the NBA Finals ... but it appears he will NOT be suspended.

The NBA's office just issued a statement saying, "Curry has been fined $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece into the spectator stands."

"The incident, which resulted in a technical foul and subsequent ejection for Curry, occurred with 4:22 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 115-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers during Game 6 of The Finals on June 16 at Quicken Loans Arena."

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was also hit with a heavy fine.

"Kerr has been fined $25,000 for public criticism of the officiating during his press conference following the same game."

French Montana and Drake hit the links in the Dominican Republic Thursday in the name of new music.

They are staying at Casa de Campo and took over the city of La Romana to shoot their video for "No Shopping" ... the next single off French's upcoming album. We don't know how they fared on the golf course, but based on Drizzy's footwear ... it wasn't a serious round.

However, the chicks in the background of this shot -- VERY serious.

NFL superstar Chris Johnson says he's not on the same page as Eugene Monroe -- telling TMZ Sports he does NOT support marijuana for pain treatment ... claiming, "I'm drug-free."

The running back was out at Le Jardin in Hollywood Thursday night -- when we asked about Monroe -- who implied he was just cut from the Baltimore Ravens over his pro-pot stance.

Johnson is pretty adamant he ain't with the green stuff -- but he IS with a pretty damn good rapper.
