Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia is making her presence known down in New Orleans ... landing in The Big Easy with friends ahead of the Super Bowl.

Check it out ... the Barstool Sports personality hits up Bourbon Street with "BFFs" cohost Josh Richards and Twitch streamer Kylie "Sketch" Cox. Brianna and company are sipping on a variety of NOLA cocktails while bar-hopping hot spots.

Brianna clearly isn't laying low in the Crescent City ... rocking a black crisscross top -- which just so happens to show off her ample curves.

Reporters are trying their damnedest to get Travis Kelce to slip up and reveal whether he plans to put a ring on Taylor Swift's finger ... but the Chiefs superstar is giving a masterclass in evading the topic -- sidestepping several questions with ease during Super Bowl week.

The 35-year-old tight end was asked if he's recently gone diamond shopping during his availability on Wednesday ... an eye roll-inducing attempt at finding out whether he's been thinking about proposing to his pop icon girlfriend.

Kelce sniffed it out right away ... and played dumb when sharing his take on whether diamonds are a "good investment."

O'Shea Jackson Jr. was all basketball fans Saturday night -- pure shock -- as the actor's reaction to the Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis trade went viral. Days later, the longtime Lakers fan has a message for the 25-year-old future Hall of Famer!

"Luka, brother, let me tell you what Lakers fans, what L.A. needs from you, all right?" Jackson Jr. told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show. "They tell us that you can't get in shape. Tell them. They tell us that you don't play defense. Show them. They said that you were expendable, that you weren't worth it. You aren't worth it? Show them, please."

"They sent you to the greatest franchise in the NBA to go play with your favorite player. Show them. Please show them the mistake that they made by letting a monster named Luka Doncic, go. You do that, you and L.A. will get along just fine. It's showtime, baby!"

O'Shea also sent a message to Davis on X.

Of course, O'Shea's face was priceless when he learned about the blockbuster move. We asked him if he was surprised by the viral video.

"Yeah, because I'm not really doing nothing. I'm not even saying words. I think I repeat, 'hold on' maybe 15 times. And yeah, bro, it's funny how it works. A lot of people, you know, they don't think that when you show fandom of something while you are a celebrity or whatever, people think that it's, you know, it's artificial or it's synthetic."

"Bro, I'm really a Laker fan, bro. I'm really tapped in."

As for how he feels about the move, O'Shea's torn.

"What you're seeing in that video is a man who doesn't know how to feel. Because yeah, I just got Luka," Jackson Jr. said, continuing, "But then I'm also sad that I lose AD, you know, because you fought for a dude for six years."

We also talked to Jackson Jr. about wrestling -- he's a huge fan (he hosts a podcast, No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, with TJ Jefferson) -- and just attended the Royal Rumble in Indy.

Drizzy's in Australia for his "Anita Max Wynn Tour" this week ... and when it came time to perform his track, "Nonstop," on Tuesday -- he notably revised a line that name-dropped the King.

The line usually goes, "How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?" ... but instead, the 6ix God changed it to "but NOT LeBron."

To fans hoping to catch IShowSpeed inside a WWE ring again following his viral Royal Rumble appearance, sorry to let you down -- the super popular streamer said he's done with wrestling after getting his ass kicked last weekend!

Speed made the revelation while playing Fortnite on a live stream with his good friend Kai Cenat ... who said he was hoping to see Speed vs Logan Paul.

The 20-year-old quickly shut it down, saying he's not returning to WWE after eating a wicked spear from the company's current Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are stoked to play in front of a sitting president during the Super Bowl ... with both Kansas City Chiefs superstars telling reporters Sunday's big game will be extra special with Donald Trump in the building.

The quarterback was asked about No. 47's expected presence in NOLA for his matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles ... and the honor isn't lost on him.

"It's always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president," Mahomes said. "Someone that is at the top position in our country."

MotoGP champion Jorge Martín suffered a broken hand and foot in a horrifying crash Wednesday ... but check out video of the accident, it certainly seems he's fortunate things weren't significantly worse.

The wreck happened out in Sepang, Malaysia -- as Martín was doing some preseason testing after switching teams in the offseason from Pramac Racing to Aprilia.

Video from the track shows Martín took a tight turn, but couldn't complete it -- and was launched several feet from his bike.

While Ronaldo’s fine-tuning those abs on the pitch and in the gym, he’s also making sure his glow stays as golden as those trophies he's got.

Clay Matthews had zero problems with Myles Garrett's trade demand this week ... in fact, he praised the Browns superstar for trying to take the future of his career into his own hands.

The 29-year-old pass rusher stunned the football world on Monday when he asked out of Cleveland ... and while plenty of NFL fans found his request selfish, Matthews told TMZ Sports he doesn't see it that way at all.

The Green Bay Packers great told us he knows all Garrett wants to do is win -- and he's happy the guy is now attempting to put himself in the best place to do that.

Sydney Sweeney is hoping to punch her ticket to the Oscars next year as she takes on the role of Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic ... and we have the first shots from the film!

The photos and video obtained exclusively by TMZ shows the actress playfully sparring in a ring with the boxing legend herself.

The two seem to get along as they gently jab at each other, Christy obviously holding back on the "White Lotus" breakout. It’s unclear if this moment will be in the film or if it was just part of a promotional shoot, but it’s cute either way.

Jason Kelce is already all over everyone's televisions, but he's now invading New Orleans ... 'cause the retired Philadelphia Eagles legend hit the Super Bowl city with a bunch of doppelgängers!!

Travis' brother was roaming around Crescent City with a camera crew on Tuesday ... with a bunch of bearded, burly men in tow.

It looks like it could be part of an ad for Courtyard by Marriott ... as the guys were draped in black and yellow letterman jackets sporting the hotel chain name.

New police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows Marcus Jordan name-dropped his famous father to cops in an apparent effort to get out of trouble before his arrest on Tuesday morning.

The footage was captured on Maitland Police Department officers' body cameras at 1:14 AM ... right around the time cops first discovered Marcus and a woman inside a blue Lamborghini SUV that had gotten stuck on some train tracks.

Initially, you can see in the video that Jordan tried to move the car off the railway with his foot on the gas ... but when the pricey ride's tires spun in place no matter how hard he pressed, cops asked him to get out of the vehicle.

The Dallas Mavericks are pulling a shocking move -- offering refunds to season-ticket holders who want out of their plans following the Luka Doncic trade.

News of the team's gesture made rounds on Tuesday ... after plenty of Dallas fans expressed their disproval over sending the 25-year-old face of the franchise to the L.A. Lakers for Anthony Davis.

Apparently so many reacted by wanting to part ways with their seats, the Mavs want to make peace with the frustrated supporters ... by handing out checks for the remaining home games on the schedule this season.

TMZ Sports has obtained photos from the scene where Marcus Jordan was arrested Tuesday morning ... and you can see clear as day his Lamborghini SUV did certainly seem to be stuck on some train tracks.

Marcus Jordan was involved in a police pursuit just before his DUI arrest on Tuesday morning ... though new dashcam video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows Michael's son was able to successfully dodge the cops -- at least for a brief while.

The footage shows a Seminole County Sheriff's officer trying to pull over Marcus' Lamborghini SUV at around 1:03 AM ... but a few minutes later, you can see in the clip Marcus clearly got away by putting his foot on the gas.

For some reason, the Seminole County official did not pursue the 34-year-old ... instead, he pulled over, radioed in the matter to dispatch, and said, "I'm turning around."
