Ezekiel Elliott doesn't look like he's too worried about last week's domestic violence allegations -- posting a photo to social media with a big ol' smile on his face.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Elliott's ex-GF claimed the Dallas Cowboys star struck her during a parking lot altercation early Friday morning -- and later claimed he had a history of violence against her.

But cops spoke with 4 witnesses who say they never saw Elliott lay a finger on the woman -- and in the end, officers did NOT arrest Elliott because they didn't feel there was enough evidence to prove he committed a crime.

Tennis great Chris Evert says menopause is at least partly to blame for the demise of her marriage to Olympian Andy Mill ... insinuating the hormonal change had a major impact on the relationship.

61-year-old Evert opened up about the situation on Lance Armstrong's "The Forward Podcast" -- when the two were talking about the positive relationships they have with their exes ... including Mill.

FYI, Evert and Mill had 3 kids together before they divorced in 2006. Two years later, she married Andy's friend, Greg Norman (the golfer). They broke up 15 months after that.

"[Andy and I] had a rough couple of years," Evert said ... "because I married Greg Norman who was Andy’s friend, and that was … I don’t know, I was going through menopausal stuff."

Evert didn't expand on exactly how menopause affected the relationship -- but said the condition ("what women go through at 50ish") doesn't get talked about enough.

According to the WebMD, menopause can cause major psychological symptoms in women -- including anxiety, irritability, mood changes, feelings of sadness and aggressiveness.

More drama for the Dallas Cowboys ...

Defensive end Randy Gregory has checked into a treatment facility after reportedly failing another drug test ... according to ESPN.

Gregory -- who was dropped in the 2015 NFL Draft after testing positive for weed at the combine -- was suspended in February after failing at least 4 NFL drug tests.

He was already set to miss the first 4 games of the season -- but this new failed test (#5) would mean he's now facing an even LONGER ban from the league.

Michael Jordan just got some huge praise from a major civil rights champion -- Rep. Elijah Cummings -- who says he's thrilled about MJ's $2 million donation ... but wants the NBA legend to do even more!

The congressman from Maryland is at the DNC in Philly where he told us he hopes MJ's financial action can be an example to others who want to help ease tensions between cops and the black community.

But he hopes MJ's involvement doesn't stop with a check -- adding, "I'm encouraging Michael to do even more."

In fact, Cummings points to Carmelo Anthony as a guy who is definitely hands-on when it comes to making a difference in the community.

Even the drug dealers in Brazil are catching the Olympic spirit -- so say cops, who just seized a bunch of cocaine packaged in baggies with the Rio 2016 logo!

According to local reports, cops seized 93 baggies of yayo during an operation Monday night -- and found several of the baggies had the Olympic rings ... and a line that read, "Use Away from Children."

How considerate.

Police also say ... agents swooped up 28 bags of crack and some ammunition during the raid.

Here's supermodel Gigi Hadid ... proving she's one hell of an athlete -- by hitting a heavy bag -- IN HEELS!!!

Hadid hit up Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn -- and despite the fact she was wearing (what appeared to be) leather leggings and chunky heels ... she went all Rocky Balboa anyway -- and looked damn good.

Gigi's been boxing for a while -- and she's picked up a pretty solid overhand right.

#Respect.

The mother-in-law of billionaire Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone was abducted in Brazil and is being held for a $36 MILLION ransom ... TMZ Sports has confirmed with police.

We spoke with Policia Civil do Estado de Sao Paulo ... and a rep confirmed 67-year-old Aparecida Schunk was taken in Sao Paulo on Friday night.

The kidnappers are demanding to be paid in pounds sterling divided into 4 bags.

85-year-old Ecclestone is married to 38-year-old Brazilian-born Fabiana Flosi -- who was a marketing director at one of Bernie's favorite resorts in Switzerland. They wed in 2012.

Kimbo Slice's son will follow in his father's fighting footsteps -- and has inked a deal to make his MMA debut at Bellator 160 next month.

24-year-old Kevin Ferguson Jr. confirmed the deal to the AP -- saying he will fight on the undercard on August 26th. He's been training with Bellator fighters like A.J. McKee and Bubba Jenkins.

"I was always around the fight business and everything, so I saw it and I understood what was going on," Ferguson told the media outlet ... "I just knew without a doubt that one day, this was what I wanted to do."

Ferguson says he got his father's blessing to fight before Kimbo died back in June.

Talk about turning things around ... the NBA player who was called out by his hot Playmate girlfriend on Instagram for allegedly cheating on her ... is now engaged!

You know the story ... 2014 Playboy Playmate of the Year, Kennedy Summers, hijacked Jeff Withey's account back in June and posted a "gotcha" style message -- saying she caught him lying to her.

"I cheated on this girl. I told my girlfriend I was going to the movies alone last night and then she found this receipt. I also shouldn't have given her my Instagram password like a dumbass."

She also posted pics of the movie ticket receipts. Oops.

But somehow, Withey got himself OUT of the dog house -- and yesterday, the Utah Jazz player proposed to Summers with a massive diamond ring.

She said yes!

Withey (we think it was Withey) went to his Instagram and wrote, "Through thick and thin, you're my best friend @misskennedys I love you. Can't wait to spend my life with you. #engaged."

Congrats -- don't screw it up.

Keshia Knight Pulliam's pregnancy just got complicated -- her ex-NFL husband, Ed Hartwell, is divorcing her ... one week after she announced she's expecting.

Hartwell filed for the split Monday in Atlanta, and according to the docs Keshia is contesting his petition ... so we can safely assume she ain't happy.

"The Cosby Show" kid just revealed on July 18 she was pregnant, but Hartwell has some doubts he's the father. He told YBF.com -- which first reported the split -- "Right now, the only thing I want is a paternity test for the baby."

They only dated for 4 months before getting married in January of this year. Hartwell was previously married to Lisa Wu and appeared on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta.'

NFL linebacker Kroy Biermann says he'd be all the way down to try his hand in a real-life MMA fight ... if his famous wife, Kim Zolciak, would let him. So, we asked her!

Kroy was co-hosting the "TMZ Sports" show on FS1 Monday night when he told us he's a huge MMA fan -- who happens to have a wrestling background.

You gotta see what Kim says when we bring up the plan -- long story short, she shuts him down faster than Conor McGregor shut down Jose Aldo!

BONUS -- we also ask Kroy -- who happens to be a free agent -- where he wants to play next season and if Kim has a say in where he signs. Check out the clip!

More troubling news about L.A. Rams RB Tre Mason -- who's been at the center of 5 different incidents involving cops in the past 4 months, TMZ Sports has learned ... and his family is extremely concerned.

Justin Timberlake got five to the face from a golf spectator -- and then the spectator got busted by cops ... TMZ has learned.

We obtained video of JT shot Saturday at the American Century Celebrity Pro-Am in Lake Tahoe -- and you clearly see a hand smack Justin as he's walking through the crowd. He didn't take it lightly either.

Justin turned around and yelled, "Why would you do that?" After he walked off, security for the tourney was seen talking to the slaphappy suspect.

Tournament reps saw it as a minor incident, and Justin -- who didn't have a mark on him -- didn't want to press charges ... but when Sheriff's deputies attempted to escort the man off the course things went south.

Law enforcement sources tell us he claimed he just wanted to "touch" Justin and got overzealous -- but refused to leave the premises. We're told he appeared intoxicated and became belligerent. Cops arrested him for disorderly conduct.

Always remember ...

Someone call Chippendales ... 'cause the greatest WR of all time stripped out of his shirt to give a crotch-thrusting lap dance at a party over the weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Jerry Rice was at an event for the American Century Celebrity golf tourney in Lake Tahoe over the weekend -- when 50 Cent's "In Da Club" started playing ... and Mr. Rice ditched his top.

From there, he spotted his assistant in the crowd ... and decided to dance up on her -- eventually droppin' his butt down in her lap like he was straight outta "Magic Mike."

Seems to be an annual thing for Jerry ... who busted a similar move with a G-string clad dancer at a Lake Tahoe club last year.

Seriously, Jerry ... call Chippendales already.

Talk about one helluva surprise!!!

The NAACP didn't get a heads-up about Michael Jordan's $1 million donation -- they learned about it Monday, at the same time everyone else did ... and they couldn't be happier!

"Today, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. was thrilled to learn that Michael Jordan will be making a $1 million grant," the org. said in a statement to TMZ Sports.

In fact, the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund president, Sherrilyn Ifill, says, "We are grateful for this support, which will allow us to deepen our engagement on the issue of policing reform at this critical time in our country.”

Jordan went public about the donation this morning in an article for The Undefeated.

We also spoke with a rep for the other group that got a mil from MJ -- the International Association of Chiefs of Police -- who says they were notified "very late last night."

More trouble for ex-NBA player Glen Rice Jr. -- the 25-year-old was arrested for robbery Monday morning in Georgia ... less than a year after he was shot in a bizarre gunfight at T.I.'s restaurant.

Here's what we know ... Rice was booked at 6:37 AM this morning for felony robbery, aggravated battery and possession of marijuana. He has since been released from custody.

The details surrounding the incident are unclear -- we're working on it.

By the way, Rice just completed a pre-trial intervention program stemming from the 2015 shooting incident.

As we previously reported, Rice was arrested -- after he was shot in the leg -- when cops say he was carrying 240 grams of weed and a bunch of cash. He was charged with weed and gun possession.

Unclear if this new arrest will affect that case.
