Jessica Chastain should quit her bitchin' about birth control costs and start preachin' about abstinence ... so says Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza.

Garza -- who has 6 kids -- went after the "Zero Dark Thirty" star after she tweeted about a Senate vote this week that struck down an amendment requiring insurance companies to pay for contraceptives.

Chastain wrote, "#BirthControl is no longer covered by health insurance. Congrats USA, you're doing your part to keep women out of the work force. #smfh."

Garza no likey ... and responded, "It's called abstinence, a word that has been forgotten amongst this generation... it's the best contraceptive... #juatsayin."

Soulja Boy is no Glass Joe -- Chris Brown won't be knocking his ass out in the 1st round ... so says Brown's coach Mike Tyson.

Tyson gave his fight prediction for the big celebrity clash between Chris and Soulja -- and he gave Soulja A LOT lot more credit than most people are giving him.

Tyson thinks there will be some real "scrappin" when the two throw down -- and predicts a great fight.

Floyd Mayweather says he'll be right in the middle of the action for Donald Trump's inauguration in D.C. next week ... telling TMZ Sports he's already got his tuxedo picked out!

Dominick Cruz says even though he lost to Cody Garbrandt at UFC 207 ... he's still in his head, claiming the new champion can't get on with his life because Dominick is still haunting him.

Cruz co-hosted with the gang on the "TMZ Sports" TV Show and talked about his rivalry with Garbrandt ... one that you'd think would've ended after Cody got his hand raised.

Turns out Cody is still thinking about Cruz -- including when we saw him on the street in NYC today -- which Dominick says is because he knows no one cares about him without Cruz in the mix.

Vince Young will NOT do any jail time for his 2016 DWI arrest ... but he will be on probation for the next year and a half.

The ex-NFL star was finally sentenced for his Jan. 24 arrest in Austin -- when cops say he was drifting across traffic with a blood alcohol level THREE TIMES the legal limit.

Now, we've learned 33-year-old Young cut a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded no contest and in exchange he got 18 months probation and 60 hours of community service.

Young was also ordered to install an interlock alcohol monitoring system in his car for 9 months.

NY Giants WR Victor Cruz says he's not worried about Odell Beckham after his post-game hole-punching meltdown ... telling TMZ Sports, "He'll be back better than ever next year."

Cruz also says any insinuation that the famous boat party before the Packers game contributed to the loss is absolute crap.

He is, however, rooting for the Packers moving forward ... explaining, "You always wanna root for the team that beat you."

As for whether Cruz will return to the G-Men next year ... "We'll see."

Just play, baby.

Here's Oakland Raiders punter/swag god Marquette King busting out the Maroon 5 hit "Don't Wanna Know" on piano ... and killin' it.

It's not the first time King's gone viral for his musical talent ... he made headlines last year for his covers of "White Iverson" and "Sweet Love."

Greg Jennings says you can bet the house the Packers will beat the Cowboys this weekend ... and the reason is Aaron Rodgers.

We got Jennings (full disclosure, he played most of his career with Green Bay) out in D.C., and asked who he thinks is gonna win the big Dallas/Green Bay showdown on Sunday.

Bad news for Cowboys fans ... HE SAID YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE ... and went on to give totally logical reasons why the dream season is over in Big D.

The eye in the sky saved Joey Porter big time -- officials say they will reduce the charges against the Steelers assistant coach stemming from an incident at a bar after reviewing surveillance footage.

As we previously reported, Porter was arrested on Sunday night after allegedly getting physical with a bouncer at a Pittsburgh bar.

He was initially charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, public drunkenness, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

But now, the Allegheny County D.A. issued a statement saying they viewed footage from multiple angles and determined there wasn't enough evidence to get an assault conviction.

All of the charges will be formally dropped EXCEPT public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

Hope Ezekiel Elliott has good insurance ... 'cause a witness to the crash claims the RB's Yukon blew through a red light during Wednesday morning's crash ... and nearly took out another car in the process.

TMZ Sports obtained the 911 call made by a witness who told the operator, "I can tell you that the Yukon cruised right through the red light and hit that car."

The witness explained, "He almost hit me. I slammed on the brakes. I saw him coming."

Cops and Dallas Cowboys security rushed to the scene. Police said there were no injuries, which is pretty amazing considering the way the witness described the scene.

Bottom line ... Zeke's lucky this wasn't worse than it was.

Ex-San Diego Chargers star Shawne Merriman says the move to L.A. is a BIG DEAL for a bunch of the current players -- including QB Philip Rivers ... because he's just not an "L.A. guy."

Merriman says one of the big issues for Rivers is his whole life is rooted in SD -- "He got 76 kids and they all go to school here."

DeAndre Jordan has a celebrity cheering squad helping him get to the NBA All-Star team ... with stars like Chris Rock, Adam DeVine and OT Genasis going to bat for the big man.

Rock put on his best DJ face and stated his case for why DeAndre belongs on the squad ... dropping some facts and not-really facts in his pitch to fans.

He also calls DJ the best "Jordan" since Michael.

There will be no comeback for The Heartbreak Kid ... Shawn Michaels tells TMZ Sports he's definitely not wrestling ever again.

There's been some rumblings about Michaels possibly coming back to wrestle at the Royal Rumble later this month in Shawn's hometown of San Antonio ... especially after he made an appearance on this week's 'Monday Night Raw.'

But, when we saw Shawn in NYC Thursday morning ... he pretty much crushed all hope.

Alessandra Ambrosio's soaking up summer in Brazil ... or at least her buns are.

The VS supermodel's purple bikini did its best to hang on in the surf of the resort town Florianópolis.

The Chargers have made it official ... formally announcing they're moving to Los Angeles!

Chargers owner Dean Spanos issued a statement saying, "After much deliberation, I have made the decision to relocate the Chargers to Los Angeles, beginning with the 2017 NFL season."

In his statement, Spanos also promises fans they'll try really hard not to suck in the City of Angels, saying, "We must earn the respect and support of L.A. football fans."

"We must get back to winning."

The Chargers were in San Diego for 56 years where they won exactly zero Super Bowls.

Welcome to Hollywood!

Happy Thursday, butt lovers ... here's Serena Williams making the mid-week great again, frolicking around an empty dance studio in see-through tights with that trophy-winning body on full display.

The reason for the bountiful goodness is Berlei underwear ... a brand Serena's been endorsing for a couple of years and is wearing in the spot.

Apparently, the aim of the ad is to show that Serena sometimes just likes to have fun and cut loose, dancing it up while wearing Berlei undies.
