Terence "Bud" Crawford's retirement this week shocked many, but not Shawn Porter ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports the boxing champion had been talking about hanging up the gloves for "a long time."

In fact, Porter says Crawford began talking about the end of his boxing career just before their 2021 fight at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

"I knew once he fought Canelo [Alvarez], he felt like there was nothin' left for him," Porter said.

"Owning Manhattan" star Jade Shenker is dishing out the deets on co-stars Ryan Serhant and Jordan March's heated argument in NYC earlier this month ... and she reveals cameras were not up at the time of the altercation.

Jade hopped on the TMZ "Previously On..." podcast and tells us Netflix is currently "not filming at all" for the show, meaning the fight was as real as it gets. She adds this is not the first time they've had an argument, but it is the first time "9-figure lawsuits are being thrown around" -- though she didn't get into specifics.

Check the clip -- in the video obtained by TMZ, you can see Jade walk down the steps and into the guys' heated convo ... and she tells us all she was thinking in the moment was "please don't throw a punch or don't do anything stupid."

DK Metcalf might have nerves of steel ... but, a Detroit Lions fan got on his last one -- and video shows him taking a swing at the guy!

The wild moment went down late in the second quarter of the Lions matchup against DK's Pittsburgh Steelers ... with the CBS broadcast first showing a tense convo between the veteran wide receiver and a DET fan in a bright blue wig.

Metcalf then quickly reached up with his closed right fist ... seemingly landing a glancing blow on fan's face before walking away.

James Ransone -- an actor best known for his role in the hit show "The Wire" -- has died by suicide, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ has independently confirmed the star passed away Friday ... and the M.E.'s website lists the manner of death as suicide by hanging. We've also learned the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call to a residence, where officers completed a death investigation report and no foul play was suspected.

Ransone started appearing in small roles in the early 2000s ... grabbing parts in the TV shows "Ed" and "Third Watch" ... before landing his breakout part in "The Wire."

Like it or not, the Christmas magic really does come for us all ... including rockers like Marilyn Manson!

We caught up with the singer while he was heading through LAX and asked for his opinions about the holiday season ... turns out he likes Christmas just as much as the next guy!

Before these two festive sisters -- acting 'Goofy' in front of the Christmas tree -- turned into superstars ... they were just growing up in Beverly Hills and admiring their famous 'rents ...

You first saw them on a Bravo reality TV show, but now you can't flip a magazine (or scroll socials) without seeing their hot bods! One's a model, and the other's a singer ...

JoJo Siwa and her man Chris Hughes have clearly discussed engagement details ... because Hughes dished on a few specifics about a potential proposal.

The singer and beau gave The Sun an update on their relationship Sunday ... and, the conversation turned to all things engagement -- including the right and wrong time to pop the question.

In the clip, Hughes says he's against getting engaged on an obvious milestone day like Christmas for example ... claiming it takes away the surprise from the proposal.

Nicki Minaj probably wanted a mulligan on her comments about J.D. Vance during a Turning Point USA event ... calling the VP an "assassin" -- during a chat with Erika Kirk.

The rapper appeared onstage at TPUSA's AmericaFest Sunday ... sitting down to heap praise on the current administration while Charlie Kirk's widow asked her questions about her foray into politics.

At first, Nicki's getting the crowd energized ... telling young men not to be "new-scum" -- a dig at California Governor Gavin Newsom. Instead, she encourages them to be like the "handsome" and "dashing" President Donald Trump.

Jillian Lauren Shriner -- soon-to-be ex-wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner -- is breaking her silence for the first time since she was arrested for allegedly pointing and firing a gun at officers who were looking for a suspect near her Eagle Rock, California home.

As we reported back in April, Jillian was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer, but was later charged with assault and negligent discharge of a firearm. She's now speaking out about the incident in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying ... “I was doing the best I knew to protect my family."

Dianne Holechek -- Chuck Norris' high school sweetheart to whom he was married for several decades -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

We spoke with Dianne and Chuck's son, Mike Norris, who tells TMZ ... Dianne passed away peacefully at her home in Texas after a long battle with dementia.

Mike says, "We are thankful she is no longer suffering. She was the best, the greatest mom. We were so lucky to have her."

Elsie Hewitt's got an instant connection with her baby girl ... singing the little one's praises in a social media post Saturday.

The model shared a message to all the moms out there via Instagram ... asking them if they too "stare at your baby and cry at how much you love them and can't believe it's yours and that your body made this perfect thing."

Clearly, it's an experience Elsie goes through ... which shouldn't come as a shock given how head over heels she's admitted to feeling since she and Pete welcomed their daughter, Scottie, to the world.

Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande are proving the naysayers wrong, 'cause Ethan was making himself comfy in Ari's 'SNL' green room as she hosted Saturday night's show!

Ari's former Nickelodeon co-star and bestie -- Liz Gillies -- posted a series of pics backstage at the 'SNL' taping ... and in one, Ethan is seen sitting alongside Liz on the couch -- showing ongoing breakup rumors are a bunch of BS.

Fans have been a bit skeptical lately about where the 'Wicked' stars' relationship lies. Ethan was recently asked about working alongside his girlfriend, and his answer raised fans' eyebrows when he pivoted to talking about the cast as a whole -- sounding the alarm that the two might be over 'For Good.'

Alix Earle is showing off her killer post-breakup bod in new bikini pics posted to her Instagram ... and in case you're wondering -- yes, she does still have her rockin' Dancing with the Stars abs!

The influential bombshell posted a series of pics by the pool during her b-day weekend in Cabo Sunday ... she's wearing a brown and white tropical tasseled 'kini and subtly flexing her core by the shore.

Alix -- looking effortlessly beautiful as always -- takes a dip into the pool and poses by an equally stunning tropical backdrop full of island greenery and clear skies in another snap. She takes her photoshoot from the pool to a plush white lounging bed for more sizzling snaps.

Jourdin Pauline says she's stepping back from social media because of relentless cyberbullying ... posting a concerning message that also accuses people online of talking disrespectfully about her late sister.

Here's the deal ... the singer and influencer has recently made waves online after she accused Tylil James -- a member of the content creation collective Clover House -- of sexual assault. James categorically denied the claims ... and suggested he has evidence which will disprove Pauline's allegations. Fans of his immediately jumped to his defense ... and Pauline says they've taken to attacking her online.

Pauline wrote in a since-deleted tweet that the online hate has impacted her mental health ... and she's getting off social platforms to get away from the "lies, threats, and dehumanizing comments" about her.
