An emotional X-Pac took the stage at Chyna's memorial Wednesday night and apologized to his ex-girlfriend for "not taking better care of you" ... while revealing he loved her until the day she died.

Big Poppa Pump painfully pummeled a pierogi in Pittsburgh ... POW!

It all went down at the Pirates game ... ex-WWE superstar Scott Steiner was standing near the finish line of the pierogi race ... when he delivered a ferocious clothesline to the dashing dumpling.

Once a heel ...

We saw Carmelo Anthony and his wife, La La, out in NYC Wednesday night -- so, we had to ask about Derrick Rose ... and the rumors that Kevin Durant will be the next big star to sign with the Knicks.

Check out the clip ... the Durant question makes 'Melo smile.

The former porn star who claims she was attacked by her MMA star ex-boyfriend has launched a new line of emojis using images based on the brutal photos of her injuries ... TMZ Sports has learned.

NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson invited Jared Goff and the rest of the Rams rookies to his L.A. house last night to chill and eat ... and talk about life as a rookie in the National Football League.

The NFL cancelled it's league wide "rookie symposium" this year. Instead, teams are hosting their own classes. The point ... prepare young players for the real-life challenges of being a pro athlete.

The Rams had asked former players -- including Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams -- to talk to the young players at the Rams facility in L.A. They had scheduled Dickerson to speak on Wednesday.

But a rep for the Rams tells TMZ Sports that Dickerson didn't want to hold a classroom lecture ... instead, he suggested the players come to his home for a casual dinner and conversation.

The rep says the ENTIRE rookie class accepted the invitation -- everyone from #1 overall pick Jared Goff to the undrafted 1st year players ... roughly 20 players in total.

As for what they discussed, that's between them -- but we're guessing it was a lot of the usual ... don't get arrested, don't spend your money on dumb stuff, act like a pro, etc.

Hopefully the rookies paid attention -- and weren't distracted by the awards, trophies and replica Hall of Fame bust.

The line to be Nick Young's rebound chick is already forming ... and first up -- PORN STAR!

Here's Layton Benton -- star of such cinematic masterpieces as "Round And Brown Vol. 28" and "Chocolate Cheerleader Camp 5."

Benton says now that Swaggy P is back on the market -- she wants a run at the NBA star.

About to be an overnight MILLIONAIRE? Great. Pay attention.

Don't be a dumbass and blow your fortune like Antoine Walker ... be smart like Kawhi Leonard ... so says NBA veteran Wilson Chandler.

WC was a 1st round pick in 2007 and knows exactly what it's like to be a young guy with crazy disposable income.

So, we asked him to give a message for the hoop stars in Thursday's NBA Draft -- and dude dropped some valuable knowledge.

Reports are swirling that the Fertitta brothers are no longer the proud owners of the UFC ... but TMZ Sports has learned it's just not true.

According to reports, WME talent agency, along with a Chinese media org and a group led by Robert Kraft snagged the MMA powerhouse for around $4 billion.

Sources tell us ... there are negotiations but "a deal isn't even close." In fact, we're told there has not even been an agreement on whether 100% of the UFC will be sold or just a portion. Nor have the parties agreed on price.

One report says the deal was finalized Sunday between WME CEO Ari Emanuel, Lorenzo Fertitta and other UFC execs at a dinner meeting in Hollywood. But we've learned Emanuel was on a plane Sunday flying back from a bar mitzvah out of the country and Lorenzo was in Vegas all day. We're told Dana White and Frank Fertitta were also in Vegas all day.

LeBron James went full Richard Pryor during his speech at the Cavaliers championship parade ... shocking fans and giving TV censors heart attacks.

We can't recall the King ever dropping even a single 4-letter word on camera, but this time on the mic he let loose -- working the stage like a stand-up comedian -- even though kids, including his own, were watching.

A bunch of strippers got advanced copies of Lenny Dykstra's new autobiography at a party in NYC Tuesday night and the reviews are in ... IT'S A BOOK!

Here are some pics from the party at Vivid Cabaret NYC -- where the ex-MLB superstar actually took the time to read some pages from 'House of Nails' to some of the dancers.

"He’s proud of his book and he read some passages to the girls," Vivid Cabaret NYC girl Kimmie said.

"Oh, and we all gave lap dances to Lenny. I consider it probably the greatest book party ever."

Dez Bryant has been sued for allegedly causing more than $60,000 in damage to a Texas home owned by a state senator ... a man who claims Bryant left the home littered in "trash and feces."

Here's Dwyane Wade talking about the one BIG hang-up he had when it came to stripping down naked for ESPN ... and it ain't something you'd expect from the guy.

D-Wade was at LAX when we brought up the spread from ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue ... a spread his famous wife, Gabrielle Union, LOOOVEEED!!!

Check out his face when we read some of her tweets ... including the one where she wrote, "Why dontcha circle back to the house ... meet ya in 10."

Wade blushes ... it's adorable.

BONUS -- We also asked about the chances he teams up with LeBron sometime again in his NBA career. Check out his answer ...

Johnny Manziel says he can explain how his car got wrecked in Dallas -- claiming he was the VICTIM in a brutal hit-and-run crash and the cops are involved.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Manziel's Nissan GTR sustained all sorts of damage to the driver's side of the car this week ... in an incident that also set off his airbags.

We spoke with Manziel's rep, Denise Michaels, who tells us ... "Johnny told me his car was T-boned and the driver just rode away right after. He reported it to police."

But here's the weird thing ... we spoke with Dallas PD and as of Tuesday afternoon, we were told there was no record of an incident involving Manziel.

9:14 AM PT -- The Dallas PD is now saying they DO have a report from Manziel -- though it's unclear when the report was filed.

Cops say the accident occurred Monday night -- and Manziel claims he has a witness from his car and an impartial witness who can corroborate his story.

Could Iggy Azalea rebound with a UFC fighter??

Dominick Cruz hopes so ... sending a message for the newly single singer -- HIT ME UP!!!

The UFC Bantamweight champ says Iggy's beautiful and would love a shot with her, but he's got one big concern -- height.

Her last BF was 6'7" ... Dominick's only 5'8" -- but don't worry, Cruz says he's got a plan.

Good luck!!

BTW, Cruz has some super famous friends including Travis Barker ... who says the two have actually fought together!

Iggy Azalea drives a hard bargain ... she's also now driving a 1962 Impala that Nick Young has given her as a parting gift.

We've learned that Iggy and Nick struck a deal ... he gets the engagement ring back and she gets the car she had given him for Xmas.

Here's the breakdown ... the ring is 10.43 carats, and reportedly valued at half a mil.

As for the whip ... a '62 Impala is a classic ... a cherry one can go for as much as $100k.

It sounds like Nick made off like a bandit, but here's the twist. In California, and most states, an engagement ring is a gift in contemplation of marriage and if the nuptials never happen, the ring -- by law -- goes back to him.

As for the Impala, it was not tied to the marriage -- it was a Christmas gift -- so he did not have to give it back.

Now you know, Nick ... for next time.

Cristiano Ronaldo might be the newest Splash Bro ... 'cause he just Deep 6'd a reporter's microphone into a lake -- and it was all captured on video.
