Drake's label says there's a giant hole in the lawsuit he's filed over Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" ... and they're basically saying Drizzy should've paid closer attention to the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

As expected, Universal Music Group filed a motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit, and in the docs they point out Drake, or his lawyers, made a major misstep when they amended their lawsuit following Kendrick's performance at Super Bowl LIX.

UMG says Drake's lawsuit isn't really about K Dot calling him a "certified pedophile" ... because he didn't even include those words during the performance. Now, the reality is the Superdome crowd did the damage itself, chanting the lyrics ... but that's not on Kendrick.

The Celtics vs. Knicks action wasn't just limited to inside TD Garden on Wednesday night ... some of their fans got into a wild brawl outside the venue as well -- and a good portion of the scrap was captured on video.

Romeo Beckham looked tense while watching a soccer match in Paris Wednesday night amid the boiling family drama back at home involving his relationship with his girlfriend.

While it was likely no joy watching his team, Arsenal, lose to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinal ... we can't help but think Romeo might have had a bit more on his mind considering his romance with Kim Turnbull has thrown a red card between him and his big bro Brooklyn.

TMZ broke the story ... the pair are not on speaking terms because Brooklyn does not approve of Kim dating Romeo.

Pray for the gorilla.

Olivia Culpo is ringin' in another year around the sun, so what better excuse to launch her hottest shots for lucky #33?!

Since being crowned Miss Universe in 2012, Culpo's stunning looks continue to captivate the limelight over a decade later.

Before this talented kid in his striped green jersey turned into a studly soccer player for Portugal and Saudi Arabia, he was just dribbling down the field, scorin' big time and setting his sights on becoming a Real Madrid player.

On the field, he's known for his goal-scoring -- he holds the record for most goals scored in men's international soccer, and there's no doubt he could probably clear jump over your head.

Off the field, he's a doting father to his five adorable children, and he definitely lucked out with his ball and chain, Georgina!

Brooklyn Beckham's family is just the "nicest" despite claims that David and Victoria are actually "toxic" ... this according to one of Brooklyn's former love interests.

Reality television star Lexi Wood -- who was linked to Beckham back in 2018 when she was just 20 years old -- opened up about her relationship with the fam during an appearance on "The Viall Files" podcast Wednesday.

Wood says that -- because she was so young -- she and Brooklyn didn't spend a ton of time with the family unit ... but, she adds, they're just the "nicest."

Former U.S. Olympian Ivan Lee was sentenced this week after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor sex offenses stemming from his time as head coach of the Long Island University fencing team.

Lee was arrested in 2024 on forcible touching, sexual abuse and harassment charges ... after a female fencer he was coaching at the time filed criminal complaints against him.

According to USA Today, the forcible touching charge was vacated by the Kings County Criminal Court after Lee participated in a court-ordered treatment program.

Brooks Nader looks totally unbothered by her split with Gleb Savchenko -- soaking up the Miami sun and living her best life on a chill day off.

The Sports Illustrated stunner turned heads Wednesday in a teeny yellow bikini that showed off her killer bod and matched her golden glow -- which she was clearly out there topping up.

Brooks was impossible to miss -- rocking shades and a cowboy hat as she lounged with a friend, casually munching on some mozzarella sticks.

Bert Kreischer isn't just a GOAT drinker, he can also hold his alcohol, too ... 'cause he beat NFL players in a stein holding challenge!!

The party boy/comedian put his talents on full display with three pro football linemen -- former 49ers player Jon "Plump Caramel" Feliciano and current Buccaneers standouts Tristan Wirfs and Cody Mauch -- as they all took a full container of liquid and tried to hold it the longest.

Bert's podcast co-host and fellow funny guy Tom Segura also took part in the competition ... but unfortunately for him, he was the first to tap out.

Pirates fan Kavan Markwood is opening up on the terrifying PNC Park fall that left him hospitalized with serious injuries ... saying he has a long road to recovery, but is grateful to those who have financially supported him over the past week.

The 20-year-old former college athlete told TribLive he has not watched the footage of his 21-foot plummet from the Clemente Wall after celebrating an Andrew McCutchen hit on April 30 ... but all things considered, he's doing "all right."

"I can't really sleep. I have a lot of back pain," he said according to the outlet ... adding he is expecting to be able to return home in a week.

Aaron Donald's been granted a five-year restraining order against a woman he says has been terrorizing him and his family for the last few years.

Donald's attorney -- Peter Lauzon of Lauzon Paluch -- tells TMZ Sports ... the former Rams defensive tackle got the order in a Los Angeles County courtroom on Wednesday.

Donald appeared via Zoom. His alleged stalker, Janelle Anwar, did not show up for the proceedings.

The Pittsburgh Pirates fan who sustained significant injuries in a fall at PNC Park last week was actually celebrating a play on the field just before his tragic tumble, new video from the stadium shows.

Check out the footage, which CBS obtained this week ... you can see Kavan Markwood jumping for joy over a hit the Pirates just got ... before he toppled over some short railing in front of him.

It appears to prove the police theory that the terrifying scene in the seventh inning of Pittsburgh's matchup with the Cubs was nothing more than a bad accident.

Donna Kelce could have a future in celebrity gossip ... 'cause she just spilled the beans on Jason and Travis' dating lives in college -- all while embarrassing them in the process!!

The 72-year-old mother of the two NFL superstars chopped it up with her boys on the Mother's Day edition of "New Heights" ... and at one point in the convo, Jason asked his mom if she disliked any girlfriends they had over the years.

Donna wasted no time in her answer ... lowkey shading her eldest son by saying, "Jason, you didn't really bring a lot of ladies home."

It's been 12 months since Tom Brady let his friends roast him for a Netflix special, but he's still beating himself up over it ... openly admitting it was a "f*** up" to sign up for the event.

Brady, of course, let his pals throw barbs his way for nearly three hours in May 2024 ... but he admitted once more this week the jokes over his divorce with Gisele Bundchen really hurt his family.

The NFL's GOAT told Logan Paul on the latest episode of "Impaulsive" his kids were super upset over some of the jabs -- and it frankly ruined his whole roast experience.

The Cincinnati Reds will be without rookie Tyler Callihan for a few months -- the left fielder underwent surgery to repair the gruesome arm fracture he suffered while trying to make a play earlier this week.

Callihan -- who signed a $1.5 million deal with Cincy -- had the procedure done on his forearm on Tuesday, just one day after he attempted to catch Matt Olson's fly ball during a tilt against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park.

The moment was captured on the broadcast ... showing Callihan, 24, crashing into the wall and falling to the ground, holding his fractured arm.
