Sacha Baron Cohen has pissed off local politicians in the English town of Grimsby -- all over reports that he's using enormous fat women to play Grimsby soccer fans in his new movie.

Cohen is reportedly using a gang of "revolting" 300-pound ladies in his upcoming scripted flick "Grimsby" -- based around a soccer hooligan who lives in the real U.K. town of Grimsby.

Now, Austin Mitchell -- a local member of parliament -- is going off about the reports ... telling MailOnline, "I know it's a joke but I haven't seen these fat ladies anywhere. If they were so fat they wouldn't fit through the turnstiles at the stadium."

Mitchell continued, "You can find fat ladies anywhere, we don't have an accumulation of them. We have the problems of a town which needs more development and jobs and its lost its basic industry."

As we previously reported, the townspeople are also upset with the movie -- claiming Cohen is unfairly portraying the city as being overrun with hooligans and low-lifes.

But Grimsby City Council members have told TMZ ... everyone should relax ... the film is a comedy -- not a realistic depiction of Grimsby. They say Cohen isn't even shooting in Grimsby.

Screw your 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie card ... an old woman from Boston just learned her family's been sitting on a MILLION DOLLAR baseball card stash for more than 100 years!

The woman -- who has not revealed her name -- went on PBS' "Antiques Roadshow" with a bunch of cards and memorabilia she inherited from her great-great-grandmother.

Turns out, the booty was a collection of ultra-rare baseball cards featuring the 1871 Boston Red Stockings. The woman also had autographs from some of the players.

One of the cards featured George Wright -- the biggest superstar in the sport at the time. He was ultimately inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

"Roadshow" appraisers valued the collection at $1 million.

The woman says she found the collection just sitting in a desk drawer ... "I ran across it one day and decided I'd like to have it, not realizing at all what it was worth."

Seems seafood counters at grocery stores across Tallahassee can rest easy ... because Jameis Winston is leaving FSU and entering the NFL Draft ... so says his dad.

Winston's father told ESPN ... the 21-year-old has made up his mind -- especially since his son is projected to be a 1st round pick ... which means $$$$$.

As we previously reported, Jameis' off-the-field activity at FSU has been scaring away bigtime sports agents who tell TMZ Sports he seems like too much a headache to sign.

"Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele has been called many things ... but subtle isn't one of 'em ... and last night she told her BF Orlando Scandrick it's time to pony up for a RING!!!

Draya was leaving Boa Steakhouse on Sunset when we asked if her Dallas Cowboys superstar BF has thought about how he's going to spend his playoff bonus money.

That's when Draya dropped the not-so-subtle hint to TMZ Sports ... saying, "I don't plan for other people's money ... but I hope that he has a nice investment that he's going to buy that has to do with rings and things and sparkly stuff."

She playfully added, "I like diamonds!"

No pressure, Scandrick.

Big recovery for USC ... cops have found the school's duplicate copy of O.J. Simpson's Heisman Trophy after it had been stolen from campus more than 20 YEARS ago!

We broke the story ... cops had recently got a warrant to search phone records of a man they believe swiped the statue from Heritage Hall back in 1994 ... and clearly, they were on to something.

The bad news -- the LAPD has not announced that a suspect is in custody ... and they're still on the hunt for a game worn O.J. Simpson jersey that was also taken in the heist.

Michael Phelps' self-proclaimed ex-girlfriend just had a close encounter with about a billion little swimmers ... after shooting her very first hardcore porno flick ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The "star" is Taylor Chandler -- who claims she had a relationship with Phelps after meeting him on Tinder. She also says she's "intersex" ... which means she was born with both a penis and a uterus (she's since had the penis removed).

And now, we've learned Chandler is showing off what she's got below the belt in a new X-rated flick she shot with Vivid Entertainment ... the porn company famous for bringing Kim Kardashian's sex tape to the world.

We spoke with Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch who tells us Chandler's raking in 6-figures for "Going for the Gold" ... which features a Phelps look-alike and is set for release next week.

"This is the most unique footage Vivid has ever released," Hirsch says ... "The sky is the limit on this movie."

Go USA.

Jon Jones just received some well-wishes from a very unlikely place ... Daniel Cormier's trainer -- who tells TMZ Sports they're rooting for the UFC champ to beat his drug problem ... despite the bad blood.

FYI -- Jones and Cormier HATE EACH OTHER'S GUTS ... and trashed each other like crazy before and after their fight at UFC 182 this past weekend.

But Cormier's trainer Javier Mendez tells us ... when it comes to Jones' battle with drugs, it's one fight they actually want him to win.

"The most important thing is his health," Mendez tells us ... "We hope that he gets better soon and gets the help that’s needed."

Ben Affleck says the Baltimore Ravens are the absolute WORST matchup for his beloved Patriots ... telling TMZ Sports he's got a healthy fear of Joe Flacco.

A pumped up Affleck (seriously, this dude is SWOLL) was leaving Tavern in Brentwood when he told us he wishes Brady and company were facing a weaker opponent this weekend (a shot at the Steelers perhaps?).

Check out the clip ... Affleck breaks down the NFL playoffs and even tells us the teams he fears the most.

But when push comes to shove, Ben says he believes in his boys ... though he wouldn't go as far as his BFF Matt Damon -- who predicted a Super Bowl victory earlier this week.

Stay tuned ...

UFC light heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones has checked himself into a drug treatment facility after testing positive for cocaine.

Jones failed a drug test prior to his decisive victory over Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 on Saturday.

In a statement, Jones said, "I want to apologize to my fiancée, my children, as well as my mother, father, and brothers for the mistake that I made. I also want to apologize to the UFC, my coaches, my sponsors and equally important to my fans. I am taking this treatment program very seriously."

UFC honcho Dana White released a statement supporting Jones' decision, saying, "I am proud of Jon Jones for making the decision to enter a drug treatment facility. I'm confident he'll emerge from this program like the champion he truly is."

Australian hurlder Michelle Jenneke -- the woman who's cute jiggly warm up dance captured the hearts of pervs everywhere -- is turning it up a notch ... in a steamy new video for WorldstarHipHop.

Here's what you need to know:

Michelle runs bleachers ... in booty shorts.

Michelle trains ... in booty shorts.

Michelle hangs out in a bikini (which are booty oriented by default)

Michelle does her famous warm up dance, then hurdles, in shorts that prominently display -- you guessed it -- her booty.

The final scene ... a group of black guys applaud (we're not making this up).

Enjoy.

He may have an injured tootsie, but Justin Bieber was on a mission to prove HE'S STILL A MAN, YOU GUYS ... by crutching to the gym and knocking out 3 pull-ups while someone videotaped.

Meathead Rob Lowe approves.

Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones is officially a married man ... after marrying the daughter of a former NFL Pro Bowl player ... and TMZ Sports has the pics!

It all went down in Scottsdale, AZ on December 27 ... where Jones swapped "I dos" with Audie Fugett ... daughter of Jean Fugett ... who played tight end for the Cowboys and Redskins in the '70s.

Among the guests ... Orioles manager Buck Showalter, 1st base coach Wayne Kirby and Adam's former Baltimore teammate Nick Markakis.

And get this ... for their first dance as man and wife, we're told the couple danced to "Me and Mrs. Jones" by Billy Paul.

Adorable, right?

"Everything's bigger in Texas" apparently includes the hustler's spirit ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned Dallas area residents are pimping out their cribs for the week of the big game hoping to score some crazy money.

Oregon and Ohio State represent two of the largest fan bases in CFB so the hotel situation in North Texas is slammed, with nary a Motel 6 having a vacancy leading up to the National Championship game on Jan. 12th.

Well Dallas area can smell the opportunity in the air -- flooding Craigslist with ads for housing ranging from $250 up to $45,000 for a mulit-night stays near the stadium.

Some of the highlights include ...

-- A $250-a-night RV rental that promises "All you have to do is show up and P A R T Y"

-- One guy is renting out 3 rooms IN HIS DAD'S HOUSE for $400-a-night. Bonus? He'll be your personal driver the entire time because "This saves the aggravation of finding parking and paying insane amounts to park."

-- A $1,000-a-night "Penthouse" that promises 1 inflatable queen mattress but also a stripper pole.

But none of those can approach the biggest most Texas style digs of all --

A $7,500-a-night country ranch home that promises horseback riding, duck hunting, 2 shot guns, a weight room and a real Texas Longhorn on the property (the steer, not Matthew McCononaughey).

6 night minimum, total price tag? $45,000 dollars.

Jerry Jones says Gov. Chris Christie is no bandwagon Cowboys fan -- he's been a supporter for 50 years and has become "part of [the team's] mojo."

Of course, Christie has been taking some serious heat ever since he was seen bear hugging the NFL owner in the owner's box at Cowboys Stadium this past weekend ... as the team defeated the Lions.

"Listen, he's a Cowboy through-and-through ... he's part of our mojo," Jones said during an interview on 105.3 THE FAN Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Jerry says if Christie's "mojo" can help the team go all the way to the Super Bowl ... "he outta be looked at as the President of the United States."

Jones takes it a step further ... and says Christie might be the most "deep-seated" Cowboys fan he's ever had in the owner's box -- and says he hopes CC joins the team in Green Bay this weekend.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant honored ESPN legend Stuart Scott on the court last night ... with a hand-written tribute to the anchor penned on his sneakers.

Rex Ryan to the Bears???

There's one huge Chicago guy who likes the idea -- Common -- who tells TMZ Sports it would be "dope" if the former NY Jets coach blew into the Windy City.

Sure, he was ran outta NY, but Common says Rex could be a perfect fit in Chicago ... where Bears chairman George McCaskey just ousted the previous head coach Marc Trestman.
