It's finally that time of the year when the Italian sunshine starts to attract tourists from all over the world -- and lots of celebs are already taking advantage of the warm Mediterranean weather.

First off, we've got Sabrina Carpenter, who took a break from her world tour to tour the Italian waterways. Then there's Teresa Giudice's daughter Gia, who showed off her ravioli-making skills.

British television presenter Maya Jama displayed her summer body while rinsing off after a dip in the sea, and Alex Rodriguez took in a gorgeous sunset while relaxing on a boating trip.

Joe "Baby Joe" Castaneda -- Adrian Peterson's poker game rival -- is down to move the guys' beef from the felt tables to the squared circle ... telling TMZ Sports he definitely has interest in sparring the NFL legend in a sanctioned bout.

Castaneda, who went toe-to-toe last month with the former Minnesota Vikings running back during a violent scrap over cards at a Houston, Texas social club -- said this week if he were approached by some kind of celebrity boxing promotion to fight AP in a ring, he wouldn't say no.

Castaneda told us it would require some kind of monetary compensation -- but if the number was right, he'd have no problem mixing it up with Peterson again under some far brighter lights.

The U.S. sprinter who went viral after his manhood made an appearance in a recent race is getting offers that'll keep him covered moving forward -- including an underwear modeling gig!!

TMZ Sports has learned undies company Shinesty reached out to Chris Robinson after he suffered the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction at a Golden Spike track meet on Tuesday ... which resulted in his private parts slipping out of his shorts during the event.

Keep in mind, Robinson still won the race ... and after that kinda effort, it's safe to say the folks at Shinesty were impressed.

In a competition you never expected, the person who has a Jason Kelce pin-up tattoo is getting a run for their money  ... 'cause someone else now has his brother, Travis, forever inked on his bod -- and TMZ Sports spoke with proud owner!!

Nick Jones -- the man with the new ink -- answered the challenge put out by Accelerator Energy Drink to get the TK pin-up ... with his reward being a ton of free product and a signed jersey.

Jones, a Dallas Cowboys fan, said he didn't want the Eagles to get even more time in the limelight following their Super Bowl LIX victory ... so he took the company up on their offer.

Jake Paul just took down another former boxing champ ... defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision on Saturday.

The crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim was overwhelmingly in support of 39-year-old Chavez Jr -- but for the most part, they didn't get the show they were hoping for.

The early rounds easily belonged to 28-year-old Paul ... with Chavez Jr. hardly throwing -- let alone landing -- any punches, to the point where the fans started to voice their disproval.

We all know celebs love to cut loose -- and a few drinks will definitely get a party going!

First off, we've got Avril Lavigne holding on to a few friends while leaving a club -- and then there's Rob Gronkowski, who ran away from his own entourage to stage an impromptu photo shoot during a crazy night out!

Sonja Morgan showed that she was totally okay with a drunken make-out session after downing a couple drinks, and it's good to know that Tiffany Haddish remembered to stick with a designated driver!

Dave Parker -- a 19-year MLB veteran who was voted into Cooperstown just months ago -- has died ... according to the league office.

MLB announced the news Saturday afternoon ... saying Parker passed away after a long bout with Parkinson's disease.

Parker -- who played for the Pirates in 11 of his 19 total seasons in the league -- was honored with a scoreboard tribute at PNC Park, where the Pirates are taking on the New York Mets.

Could love be in bloom? Heads are certainly turning ... 'cause newly single Orlando Bloom and Sydney Sweeney were spotted strolling through Venice Saturday morning after they attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!

But they weren't alone -- they stepped out on the Floating City with none other than Tom Brady ... who's also single.

Sydney outdid her male counterparts in the style department ... rocking a flowing floral-print dress with her signature blonde hair styled in loose curls.

Several guests at the Lauren Sanchez-Jeff Bezos wedding tell TMZ the wedding was "a blast," and everybody cut loose ... yet none of the big names who are single hooked up.

We're told there was a roar when Jeff and Lauren made their grand wedding entrance.

Enough about the wedding ... the party went until 2 AM and mostly everyone cut loose on the dance floor. We're told Tom Brady "danced with everyone," including Sydney Sweeney and Brooks Nader.

Orlando Bloom also made the rounds, but neither guy honed in on any particular partner.

Brady was "all over the place," at one point taking the reins from Kygo in the DJ booth.

Sauce Gardner is peeling back the curtain on his love life ... telling TMZ Sports things are pretty "cool" with Ice Spice -- and as it turns out, LeBron James had a role in their coupling!!

We caught up with the New York Jets star out in L.A. this week ... and asked him all about his budding romance with the rapper.

While Sauce didn't sing like a bird, he did say he liked how things were going ... and raved about all they have in common -- being based in the Big Apple, experiencing success at a young age and having their fair share of haters.

Ilia Topuria says he's got no beef whatsoever with Charles Oliveira -- in fact, he's got a ton of respect for the title contender -- but with that said, he's vowing to beat his ass!

TMZ Sports spoke to the 28-year-old Topuria, who recently relinquished his featherweight belt, ahead of their UFC 317 scrap -- where they'll fight for Islam Makhachev's lightweight strap (he's moving up to welterweight) -- and we asked the 16-0 fighter what he'd say to Charles just days before their title fight.

"I have all the respect in the world for Du Bronx, nothing personal. This is competition, and this time he has a very, very dangerous opponent, and he needs to bring his pillow," Ilia said.

Justin and Hailey Bieber are giving off happy couple vibes amid fan concern about their marriage.

The Biebs just posted a bunch of photos from a lakeside getaway he's enjoying with his wife ... and it looks like the pair teamed up for some pickleball.

In one photo on Justin's IG post, Hailey is flashing two pickleball paddles in front of the camera.

If MLB pitcher Richard Lovelady needs some extra coin while he searches for his next spot on a Big League roster, a porn site says it'll pay him handsomely ... if he hops in front of one of its cameras and shows off his fastballs!

CamSoda tells TMZ Sports ... it's offering the former Mets reliever -- who made headlines this week after he requested New York fans and media members call him Dicky -- $250,000 to hop on a NSFW stream.

"As a left-handed relief pitcher known for handling pressure," a company spokesperson told us, "we think he's the perfect fit to bring some heat in a whole new arena."

The son of late boxing star Tommy Morrison is proving power ain't a trait that skips a generation ... after Kenzie Morrison dominated his bareknuckle boxing opp last weekend -- and now he's calling out one of the biggest names in the sport!

TMZ Sports talked to 34-year-old Morrison, a 22-1-2 pugilist who just won his first BKFC scrap after putting Alex Davis down and out in just 63 seconds.

With a win under his belt, Kenzie's hoping to lure a big-name fighter into the squared circle -- Jake Paul!

If UFC fans didn't know Nazim Sadykhov before, they do now ... after the 11-1 fighter stunned the MMA world with one of the most insane comebacks in recent history -- and he did it with Merab Dvalishvili in his corner!

TMZ Sports spoke to the 31-year-old rising lightweight star just days after he defeated Nikolas Motta in Baku, Azerbaijan (a country he once called home as a young boy) ... a fight so good Dana White blessed him with a double bonus check -- Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night!

If you watched, you know the first round didn't exactly go as Nazim planned. In fact, he was on the receiving end of a 70-something strike combo, which he somehow not only survived, but ate without appearing too hurt.

The "nWo" logo is one of the most recognizable in the world, but shockingly, the creator ain't exactly livin' high off the hog ... 'cause they never say any money from the insanely popular symbol!

Yes, that's right -- hundreds of thousands (or more) of nWo shirts sold be damned -- according to journalist Marc Raimondi, author of Say Hello To The Bad Guys, a brand new book detailing the history of one of wrestling's most legendary factions.

Raimondi told the story during a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
