Wanna see Brooke Hogan covered in lube? Well, you're in luck.

Brooke was doused in some sort of slippery fluid Thursday in Santa Monica while trying to climb UP a slide. It wasn't just for giggles -- Brooke, Casper Smart, Drake Bell, Lil Mama, Selita Ebanks and several other celebs are taping a new season of 'Champs vs. Stars' for MTV.

Brooke and co. take on another team of retired athletes and celebs for the competition reality show.

Check out the video ... we can't tell who won this particular event.

Other than the spectators, that is.

No one can physically be two places at once, but Travis Scott is going to come pretty damn close Saturday before the Super Bowl.

The rapper has 2 gigs scheduled for the same night ... and they're about 1,500 miles apart. First, Travis has a show around 10:30 in Minneapolis, which is then followed by a show at 1:30 AM in Vegas Marquee Nightclub in The Cosmopolitan ... plenty of time for both.

Sources close to the rapper tell us, in order to lock Travis down, promoter Jefferson Agar of Twin Cities Live had to make sure he could attend both gigs. We're told they shelled out around $50k for a private jet that'll take Travis from L.A. to Minneapolis and then to Las Vegas ... all in the span of a few hours.

Tix are still available for Scott's Super Bowl gig ... so if you've ever wanted to see a time traveler -- or the next best thing -- you've still got a chance.

We all know what Bill Belichick's wearing on Super Bowl Sunday (hoodie) -- but his girlfriend Linda Holliday is going with A LOT more flair ... with a custom crystal outfit, and TMZ Sports has the pics!

Linda hit up Leah Miller at Bella Artistry who makes custom Swarovski crystal fashion items for a TON of athletes and their significant others ... and ordered up some fresh gear for SBLII.

Holliday will be wearing a special blazer with her BF's last name spelled out across the back and his initials on the arm. We're told the blazer has 3,500 crystals that were all hand-placed, one-by-one.

She also got a blinged out purse complete with 1,200 Swarovski crystals!

Bill's boss is a fan of Leah's work as well -- Robert Kraft is getting a special crystalized pair of Nikes ... customized for the Pats owner himself with 13,000 crystals!!!

Now all they need is another ring to match!

Consider these contestants the Cleveland Browns of game shows ... 'cause no one had a single clue how to score during the football category in "Jeopardy" ... and it's the funniest thing you'll see all day.

Check out the first contestant hesitantly call "Talkin' Football for $200" -- only because all the other categories had already been cleared out -- and you can tell by the sound of his voice things were about to go bad. Like, REALLY bad.

Alex Trebek tossed up a number of elementary answers like the definition of the quarterback option and fair catch ... and all he got in return was painful silence.

Ya gotta feel for Trebek ... who begs to cut to a commercial break to end his misery.

It's been a few years ... but Vernon Davis is reuniting with his old 49ers QB Alex Smith in Washington -- and he couldn't be more excited about it.

"He's gonna be great for us," Davis said at a Super Bowl event in Minneapolis ... "Fantastic!"

Davis and Smith played together back in San Francisco -- but were each shipped out over the years.

Now, Davis says things have come "full circle" and he's hoping they can get to the Super Bowl next year.

Justin Timberlake is saying one thing, but his fans' eyes around Minneapolis are saying there's evidence an 'NSYNC reunion could be going down during the Super Bowl halftime show.

Here's what we know: JT flatout told reporters at Thursday's news conference in Minneapolis, "No" ... his old group is NOT getting back together. However, multiple people claiming to be in Minneapolis say they've seen all the 'NSYNC members, minus Justin, in the downtown area.

Before ya get too excited, here's some more info: Lance Bass was posting pics of himself skiing Wednesday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Joey Fatone was spotted late Wednesday night in Orlando signing autographs for some fans.

However, there's the miracle of air travel! Joey's publicist and manager tell us the singer IS now in Minnesota -- but they say he's just doing appearances at Super Bowl events. We know ... halftime would seem to fall under that umbrella.

On the other hand, Joey was in L.A. last week and told us, point-blank, the reunion ain't happening.

Believe him?

As for Lance -- his manager says he's back home in L.A. The only missing links are Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez.

Looks like the feud between 2 of the baddest chicks on the planet has fizzled out -- 'cause Laila Ali is wishing Ronda Rousey "all the best" in WWE.

For real.

We got Laila at an event for her new 'Food for Life' book out in NYC ... and the former unified boxing champ did the unthinkable -- she gave her UFC rival PROPS for pursuing a new career.

"I think it's cool ... she can wrestle!" Ali told TMZ Sports.

Remember ... Laila famously criticized Ronda after she lost to Holly Holm -- and that's after they went back and forth for months, saying they'd smash each other in boxing.

Conor McGregor says Floyd Mayweather needs to stop flirting with an MMA fight and ACTUALLY BOOK IT -- or he'll regret it until the day he dies.

"If he does do it, I know he's flirting with it, I would have respect for him," McGregor told Adam Glyn.

If Floyd is just messing around and won't take a real MMA fight, Conor says, "it will follow him for the rest of his days that he did not do it."

As TMZ Sports previously reported, the head of Showtime Sports says he's talking with Floyd about getting a deal done ... and expects the fight would pay Floyd in the 9-FIGURES.

The alleged scumbag responsible for destroying the iconic "Field of Dreams" has been arrested ... and is now facing some serious time behind bars.

As we previously reported ... the original location used in the classic 1989 movie was destroyed with 4-inch deep tire gashes and damage to the sprinkler system after an apparent joyride through the field on January 22 -- resulting in more than $14,000 in damages.

20-year-old Austin Pape turned himself in to authorities early Thursday morning and was charged with 2nd degree criminal mischief and reckless driving.

Pape has lawyered up and plans to plead not guilty, according to The Des Moines Register.

If he's convicted, Pape faces up to 5 years in prison and a $7,500 maximum fine.

Melvin Gordon is shutting down all the crap about the Chargers dumping Philip Rivers ... telling TMZ Sports the franchise QB will absolutely be back in L.A. next season.

We talked shop with Melvin out in Minny ... and the stud RB was pretty candid (and hilarious) on topics ranging from Rivers' retirement clock to Alex Smith's Chiefs exit to Kirk Cousins-Broncos rumors.

But the biggest takeaway was Flash telling us his boy, "Phil-y Cheese," (new nickname alert) ain't gonna get squeezed out by the Spanos clan.

Melvin also told us why his boy, Eagles RB Jay Ajayi, big-timed him on Super Bowl tix ... and spilled the beans on a major rap star Melvin Ingram is about to collab with!!

Justin Timberlake faced the media in Minnesota -- and talked all about his Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday ... and (shocker) he charmed the hell out of everyone in the room.

JT said Tom Brady is on his "man crush" list and has shut down the possibility of an 'NSYNC reunion.

As we previously reported, Joey Fatone told us he wasn't going to Minnesota to perform in the show.

Timberlake says the focus is on his new band. We'll see if he's telling the truth ...

Miss America Cara Mund was also in the house ... and she asked a question while rockin' her tiara.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian ain't gonna let parenthood -- and insanely busy schedules -- stop 'em from getting their date night on!

The power couple was out in the Bev Hills Wednesday night -- crushing gourmet Japanese at Matsuhisa while a sitter watched baby Alexis.

On their way out, our guy (who's got a kid on the way) asked if they had any parenting advice ... and while Serena wasn't in the mood to chat, the Reddit co-founder served up a pretty solid tip.

Ex-Jets star Bart Scott hopes his old squad doesn't fire star WR Robby Anderson in the wake of his crazy arrest (where he allegedly threatened to bang a cop's wife). Here's why ...

1) "He's too young"

2) "He's too talented"

3) "His salary's controllable" (i.e. "he's cheap")

You'd think Robby could get the ax after allegedly going 105 mph in a 45 zone and then telling the arresting officer he was going to find the dude's wife and "f*ck her and nut in her eye."

Of course, Bart says Anderson crossed the line (if the allegations are true) -- but he shouldn't lose his job over it. He lays out the case for us on camera.

The streaker who busted onto the green at the Phoenix Open on Wednesday didn't just run around -- he TRIED really hard to pull off some naked breakdance moves ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The wannabe dancer is Adam Stalmach -- a 24-year-old idiot who somehow snuck onto the 17th fairway during the Pro-Am in front of hundreds of people ... and put on a naked show before cops rushed in and arrested him.

Shocker ... cops say he was probably wasted.

He's been charged with indecent exposure and two counts of disorderly conduct.

Also, he kept his socks on the entire time ... so technically, not a full streaker???

Kenny Smith says he's still reeling from the "horrific situation" that claimed Rasual Butler's life ... and he's expecting the NBA to honor Rasual in a big way.

"Overall, the NBA community will step up. We'll do something on TNT," Kenny said.

Condolences poured in Wednesday from ex-teammates and legends like Shaq, Kobe and Allen Iverson ... and the Miami Heat were the first team to put together a video tribute.

The Jet says fans should expect a lot more of that -- because "everybody loved him."

Kate Upton is itching to tell everyone about what she claims was sexual abuse at the hands of Guess co-founder Paul Marciano.

Our photog got Kate Wednesday arriving at LAX, and she made it clear she's going to offer more than a Twitter headline when the time is right. Upton wrote on Instagram Tuesday, Marciano should not be allowed to use his power to sexually harass women, though she was not specific.

The S.I. cover model wouldn't say if she was a victim or if she was speaking out on behalf of other models, but it seems like she has a personal story.

Kate also believes people at Guess were complicit in protecting and enabling Marciano.

So far Marciano has not responded.
