Cam Newton is speaking out on his shocking altercation with Alabama A&M's mascot last week ... insisting the whole thing was not as serious as it looked.

The moment happened at Legion Field in Birmingham on Oct. 24 ... as Newton and the ESPN "First Take" crew were enjoying football festivities before the Alabama State and Alabama A&M game. After the mascots from each school took part in a 40-yard dash, A&M's Butch got into a shoving match with Cam, who responded with a hard shot to the face.

The moment aired live and sent everyone into a frenzy ... with even Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin thinking it was a real fight. Well, Newton says it was far from it.

Flau'Jae Johnson's made a name for herself by showing off her chops on the basketball court -- and in the recording studio!

The athlete's been able to carve out spaces in both the sports world and music industry, and she's built up a pretty sizable public profile as a result.

We're going to take a look into the basketball player's background ... and see how her comments about a certain political activist landed her in hot water.

IShowSpeed can do a lot of things ... but beating Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating contest is not one of them -- 'cause the current Mustard Belt holder absolutely smoked the YouTuber in a one-on-one match!

The streaming superstar took on the 2025 Nathan's Hot Dog champion as part of his "Speed Goes Pro" YouTube series -- a project produced by OBB Pictures in partnership with DICK'S Sporting Goods.

Before any wieners were devoured, Speed attempted to get an advantage by winning a series of mini challenges inspired by some of Chestnut's personal records, including pizza, chicken wings, and hard-boiled eggs.

Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla enjoyed a "Hot Girl Summer" last year through a joint tour, but it looks like "Winter is coming" ... because Glo just co-signed a very nasty social media post about Megan!!!

X user @gymratgyal successfully instigated GloRilla's internal emotions when she fired off the message, "We all know she started being bitter after she was outsold by glorilla lmfaoooo" -- and GloRilla liked the post!!!

Gymratgyal saved the receipts and Glo's reaction highlighted a deeper rift between her and Megan's camps ... their stylists are also getting snippy!!!

WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda is not in hospice as his brother-in-law previously stated ... but rather a rehabilitation center as he recovers from a massive heart attack, his family revealed on Wednesday.

Mika Rotunda released a statement on her Facebook minutes ago ... clarifying her Uncle Barry misspoke when he recently disclosed the information.

Mika stated Mike's recent medical scare on September 20 forced him into a coma for a week and a month-long hospital stay.

Prince Harry seemed defeated Tuesday night ... as he and his wife, Meghan Markle, were booed as their mugs popped up on the Jumbotron during Game 4 of the World Series.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had expressions that harkened back to the infamous Coldplay couple ... as they cringed as the jeering started. Harry eventually forced a smile, but it was clearly an uncomfortable moment.

The good news ... they had great seat at field level. Sorry Jerry O'Connell, no nosebleeds for them.

Harry dressed sharp in a black blazer over a white T-shirt and dark pants, while Meghan donned dark pants with an oversized white button-up. Of course, they both repped Dodger blue with matching baseball caps.

A wildly popular comedian made some waves online on Tuesday ... when he revealed he dressed up as a stabbed Mark Sanchez for a Halloween party.

Benedict Polizzi -- an "FBoy Island" star who boasts 3.7 million followers on TikTok -- shared the 'fit on his Instagram page ... and it raised more than a few eyebrows.

Check it out -- Polizzi donned a No. 6 Sanchez Jets jersey ... complete with fake blood splattered all over his torso. He adorned the costume with some football pads, a pigskin and eye black.

We're serving up another juicy game of Guess Who ... can you name this blonde bombshell?

This absolute knockout was snapped in a state of "Euphoria," chomping down on a hot dog at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday during Game 3 of the World Series.

Here's hoping Bad Bunny's haters aren't Lionel Messi fans ... 'cause the soccer legend and Super Bowl halftime performer met up in Miami for a commercial shoot!!

The superstar singer and Inter Miami striker were spotted in Florida this week ... hitting the studio for what is believed to be an adidas World Cup ad.

While the two didn't show up together, their arrivals weren't far apart -- Messi rolled though in a Three Stripes getup ... and BB had on a grey hoodie and sweatpants combo.

The NFL isn't messing around this Halloween season ... with teams hosting extravagant parties left and right -- and the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles were no exception.

Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown gave his followers a look at a bunch of outfits his teammates rocked for their bash Tuesday night ... and they ranged from basic 'fits to some pretty creative ones.

Jahmyr Gibbs dressed up as one half of Team Extreme -- Jeff Hardy, who actually just lost his NXT Tag Team Titles with his brother Matt last weekend. Nevertheless, he proudly got into character.

LSU women's basketball star Flau'jae Johnson made it clear this week ... she does not want a statue honoring Charlie Kirk on her school's campus.

Johnson gave a loud opinion on the matter on X -- shortly after Louisiana governor Jeff Landry issued a challenge "to the LSU Board of Supervisors to find a place to put a statue of Charlie Kirk to defend the freedom of speech on college campuses."

Johnson responded to Landry's video note with four question marks ... and then wrote in a follow-up post that anyone who supports Kirk should stop reading her page ASAP.

Jaylen Brown has seen all the jokes about his in-game fake hairline catastrophe ... and the chatter's gotten so loud, he's calling on LeBron James for an assist.

Fresh off a viral video of what appeared to be hair paint rubbing off on Knicks hooper OG Anunoby's jersey over the weekend, the Celtics star hopped on Twitch on Tuesday ... where he allegedly hit up King James for some hair advice.

Bron didn't pick up the phone ... but Brown left a message to make sure he knew the matter was serious.

The World Series is drawing a ton A-list stars ... and Hollywood showed up in full force Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium for an action-packed Game 4.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle snagged front-row seats to watch Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani take the mound ... both looking locked in as they matched in Dodger caps. As you know, Markle's a native Angeleno.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex weren't the only royals in the building ... with "King James" and his wife, Savannah, also showing up to support the hometown team.

Priest Holmes just lost one of his most cherished records to Travis Kelce, but he ain't bitter about it ... in fact, the Kansas City legend is heaping praise on the tight end -- and the guy's future wife!!

The ex-Chiefs tailback chopped it up with TMZ Sports on Tuesday -- just hours after TK tied his K.C. record for career touchdowns with 83 -- and Holmes was anything but salty.

The 52-year-old offered up immediate congratulations ... while saying it'll be "pretty awesome" to see Kelce inevitably pass the coveted scoring mark later this season.

Sydney Sweeney was boots on the ground at Dodger Stadium Tuesday night for game 4 of the World Series, and she had some company ... taking in the action alongside Christy Martin!

Sweeney -- who portrays Martin in the soon-to-be-released biopic, Christy -- shared a selfie of the two from Chavez Ravine, and the women were nothing but smiles as they settled in to watch Shohei Ohtani take the mound.

It's not the first time we've seen the duo together; they hit the red carpet for the premiere of the boxing flick last month. While that was for work ... tonight's appearance shows the two have developed a strong bond.
