Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter is swatting down critics of his 'SNL 50' performance, especially since they're comparing it to Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl set!!!

The Young Money MC was backed by The Roots and conducted a medley of his classic hits at Radio Music City Hall over the weekend, opposite Miley Cyrus.

Apparently, the negative responses flooded Reginae's timeline ... because she exploded with fury!

Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ben Cleveland was arrested for DUI last week, TMZ Sports has learned ... after he allegedly drove his truck with a BAC over twice the legal limit.

According to Baldwin County Sheriff's Office documents we obtained, Cleveland was suspected of drunk driving in Milledgeville, Ga. on Feb. 12.

The docs state the 26-year-old -- a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of the Univ. of Georgia -- was pulled over at around 10:25 PM ... after he had been swerving in a roadway. Cops wrote Cleveland was actually driving so erratically, he nearly steered his black Ford F-250 into a ditch.

LeBron James had a bunch of people pissed off during All-Star Weekend ... after the Lakers superstar backed out of Sunday's four-team tournament just hours before tip-off.

The four-time MVP and 21-time All-Star announced his status for the festivities two hours prior ... saying he was hoping to be able to go, but a nagging foot and ankle injury forced him to sit out the contest for the first time in his career.

With such short notice, the league wasn't able to fill Bron's spot with a fresh face ... which rubbed some people the wrong way.

Arnold Schwarzenegger bared it all in "Terminator" 40 years ago ... and now his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, is keeping the family tradition alive -- going full frontal in "The White Lotus."

The HBO show's season 3 kicked off Sunday night, and Patrick's character, Saxon Ratliff, wasted no time -- he checked into the luxe Thai resort with his family, and then promptly checked out of his clothes in a full-on NSFW scene.

After striking out with the ladies at the resort, Saxon decided to handle business himself in the scene. He hopped out of bed, butt-naked, strolled to the bathroom, and just when you thought that was it … BAM! The camera swung around, and yep, everything was on display!

The "Saturday Night Live" 50th anniversary special wasn't about to come and go without a couple shots at Bronny James ... with the Lakers rookie's name getting dropped for laughs during the show.

The 20-year-old was targeted toward the beginning of "Weekend Update" ... with Michael Che uttering a wisecrack about bringing his own form of nepotism to the staple sketch.

"Me and Colin [Jost] are actually the longest serving 'Weekend Update' anchors," Che said. "I've done 'Weekend Update' for so long, next season I'm co-hosting with my son, Bronny."

The NBA's new All-Star Game format took a ton of heat on Sunday night ... including from Warriors superstar Draymond Green, who said on live TV the event straight up "sucks."

Adam Silver's new look for this year's midseason showcase featured a mini-tournament of four teams playing in three games -- instead of the traditional one-contest exhibition -- and from the jump, there weren't many who were happily vocal about the way it was going down.

Hoop heads clowned it all on X throughout the evening ... and when Green -- a four-time All-Star who was helping broadcast this year's iteration for TNT -- was asked for his thoughts, he held nothing back.

We were expecting a raucous retrospective on Sunday night's "Saturday Night Live" 50th Anniversary show ... and one of the hosts ratcheted it up a notch, going straight for the jugular with a lethal observation.

In the opening monologue, Steve Martin introduced comedian John Mulaney, and the two tuxedoed raconteurs reminisced over the many hosts over the years ... with Mulaney observing, "894 people have hosted 'Saturday Night Live,' and it amazes me that only two of them have committed murder."

That brought a mixture of laughter and groans from the audience, and Martin. There have been a few hosts over the years associated with untimely deaths ... but only two of them have actually been charged with murder.

Stephen A. Smith won't be bolting from the ESPN airwaves for the White House ... 'cause SAS tells us he ain't running!

TMZ Sports caught up with the famed sports commentator out in the streets of NOLA last week, and with a recent report indicating 57-year-old Smith was getting looks from Democrat party leaders as a potential candidate for the 2028 election, we had to ask if he was interested.

Before we could finish the question, SAS made it clear that running for U.S. president was not in the cards.

Cardi B continues to fuel romance rumors with Stefon Diggs ... 'cause the two painted Miami "Bodak Yellow" late Friday night.

TMZ has obtained videos and photos showing the rapper and the NFL wide receiver arriving to a Miami hotel in the wee hours of Saturday morning ... with Cardi dressed up all sexy in a revealing dress.

Check it out ... Cardi's dress is clinging to her frame -- and, when she bends forward, her entire bust is on display. Diggs dressed in all-red for the occasion, looking comfortable in a jacket and baseball cap.

Mike Tyson says Jake Paul has no idea what he's talking about ... 'cause he doesn't have Parkinson's despite what the YouTube sensation says.

Here's the deal ... Jake stopped by streamer Adin Ross' place to hang out, and the two got into a conversation about psychedelic drugs -- with Jake saying he takes magic mushrooms to "fix my brain."

Paul then talks about the benefits of taking ayahuasca and smoking "toad" -- psychedelic toad venom that some have begun experimenting with more in recent years.

Canadians are pissed at Americans over President Trump imposing tariffs on our ally to the north — and nowhere is this more evident than in the hockey rink.

Three fights broke out in a manner of 9 seconds during Saturday’s USA-Canada 4 Nations Face Off game in Montreal — and the Canadian crowd also booed during the "Star-Spangled Banner" just prior to the brawls.

Check out these videos that capture the fists flying between the U.S. and Canadian hockey players. Both sides are clearly not seeing eye to eye and taking out their aggression on one another.

Gamblers looking to make a quick buck on this year's NFL Draft better listen up ... Adam "Pacman" Jones tells TMZ Sports he's absolutely sure Travis Hunter will be the top pick!!

The former Tennessee Titans star promised us out at Super Bowl week in New Orleans that his old team will not take a quarterback with the No. 1 overall selection ... and will instead snatch up the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner.

"He will be the No. 1 pick," Jones said of the Colorado Buffaloes' wide receiver/defensive back.

John Cena is in the final year of his in-ring career ... and once wrestling fans can't "see him" anymore, Booker T tells TMZ Sports he will be remembered as someone who took what he was given and turned it into an all-time career.

We caught up with the WWE Hall of Famer amid Cena's last dance ... and asked once the jorts are hung up for good, what lasting impact the legend will have on the sport.

He said that despite not being the best wrestler in the world, Cena "took what he had and made the best out of it, and took it all the way to the top."

Nate Burleson knows a thing or two about making the jump from the gridiron to the screen ... and he tells TMZ Sports he's got eyes on three players that he believes would be great TV -- including Joe Burrow!!

We caught up with the CBS analyst and host of "Hollywood Squares" in NOLA over Super Bowl weekend ... when we asked which current jocks he thinks could make the same transition he did in retirement.

NOLA legend Cam Jordan made the list ... with Burleson saying he is an "amazing talent." Alongside Burrow, he even mentioned his former LSU teammate and current Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Brooks Nader's newest photoshoot is probably more appropriate for Playboy than Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue ... 'cause she ditched the bikini for an au naturale look on vacay.

The model ran off to Los Cabos, Mexico for a little Valentine's vacation ... and, she decided to really let loose -- throwing off her top and letting it all hang out.

Check out the pics ... Brooks starts with a bright orange top on while her topless gal pal photographs her -- but, she quickly decides to get as naked as her proverbial dancing partner and frees the nipple for the whole beach to see.

Natalia Bryant's not a little kid anymore ... she's a woman who might have a new beau -- 'cause she was spotted with a guy on Valentine's Day.

The daughter of Kobe Bryant -- who turned 22 just last month -- hit the Los Angeles streets for a fun Friday night with a good-looking dude ... leaving e. baldi --a popular Italian joint in Beverly Hills not to be confused with Rihanna's favorite eatery, Giorgio Baldi.

The two were photographed outside the restaurant ... talking and laughing -- with some light PDA happening too. Natalia's got her hand on her maybe friend, maybe something more's chest in at least one pic.
