Former Dallas Cowboys star Mike Jenkins was involved in a heated confrontation at a Florida bar over the weekend ... video obtained by TMZ Sports shows.

The incident happened at The Kenwood on Sunday night in St. Petersburg ... after Jenkins had apparently become upset with the way one of the establishment's employees had handled his credit card.

A witness tells us the worker had either misplaced or lost Jenkins' plastic -- which agitated the former 2008 NFL Draft first-round pick.

Voice actor Jason Griffith isn't losing sleep over Keanu Reeves stepping in to play the character he voiced in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" video games and TV series.

Jason tells TMZ ... he thinks Keanu is the perfect choice to play antihero Shadow the Hedgehog in the 3rd 'Sonic' film. As Jason puts it, he was never asked to voice the role for the upcoming film, so he doesn't feel like Keanu "stole" his part.

He adds ... "One of the many rewards of being in this business is being asked to voice a character that's so beloved and means so much to so many people. And then, to share that character with someone like Keanu ... I mean, it's such an honor."

Another Rice is making his way to the NFL this season ... but don't expect him to look anything like Jerry on gamedays -- no, Brenden Rice tells TMZ Sports he's gunning to be his own man when it comes time to perform on Sundays.

Brenden has been a baller receiver at USC for the last two years -- but he's now entering the NFL draft ... and he says when he gets on his new team next week, he doesn't want anyone to compare him to his dad.

While, of course, he loves his father and respects the hell out of the legacy the football legend left with the 49ers -- he says he's determined to build his own name ... and not ride on anyone's coattails.

The guy Kanye West allegedly punched in the face was one half of a set of twins who are big shots in the restaurant scene here in L.A. -- and we're told he hit the wrong one.

Eyewitnesses who were on the scene Wednesday morning at the Chateau Marmont hotel tell TMZ that what Kanye's team said about what happened -- namely, Bianca herself had been assaulted by the man who ran into her -- is totally off base and simply not accurate.

Here's what our sources tell us about how this went down, from their perspective ... a man accidentally bumped into Bianca in the hotel lobby, which they say was busy at the time. We're told it happened quickly, and the man went on about his way.

El hombre al que Kanye West supuestamente golpeó en la cara es uno de los gemelos más destacados de la escena gastronómica de Los Ángeles y nos dicen que le dio al equivocado.

Testigos presenciales que estaban en la escena el miércoles por la mañana en el hotel Chateau Marmont le dicen a TMZ que lo que el equipo de Kanye dijo acerca de lo sucedido, esto es que la propia Bianca había sido agredida por el hombre que se abalanzó contra ella, es totalmente incorrecto y simplemente no es exacto.

Esto es lo que nuestras fuentes dicen sobre lo que pasó. Desde su perspectiva, un hombre chocó accidentalmente con Bianca en el vestíbulo del hotel, que dicen que estaba ocupado en ese momento. Nos dicen que pasó rápidamente y que el hombre siguió su camino.

O.J. Simpson's Bank of America credit card has hit the auction block ... and let's just say the seller is banking on it raking in some serious cash.

Jonathan Lepore is selling the business account card over at Goldin Auctions ... telling TMZ he snagged the piece of plastic, which expired in 2023, on eBay last summer for a steal at $70, adding it to his trove of sports memorabilia.

Later, Jonathan planned to gift the card to his pal's dad, who apparently used to chill with O.J. and Nicole Brown Simpson in the Hamptons during the '80s and early '90s.

Harrington knows his stuff -- the guy built an entire company around his love for Mary Jane ... serving as the CEO of the Viola brand.

He's doing pretty well for himself, too ... with the company valued at over $100 million.

Joaquin Phoenix tiene un aliado en Hollywood: el asesor histórico de su película "Napoleón", quien ha saltado en su defensa luego de unas mordaces críticas de Brian Cox.

Lorris Chevalier le dice a TMZ que Joaquin hizo lo mejor con lo que se le dio en el set, a pesar de que él mismo quería tomar "Napoleón" en una dirección diferente y única, pero se enfrentó con algunas resistencias.

A pesar de que sus ideas fueron desechadas, Lorris dice que Joaquin realmente se lanzó en el papel y fue a lugares como el castillo privado de Napoleón, la Malmaison y varios otros sitios napoleónicos en París para investigar a su personaje.

Lorris reconoce que la decepción detrás de "Napoleón" es comprensible, pero que cuando se trata de la excesiva atención a los detalles históricos, hay que tener presente que la película estaba hecha para ser una experiencia visual, no un documental.

Al fin y al cabo, Lorris dice que su trabajo consiste en compaginar la precisión con la narración y sintió que podía apoyarse en las dotes interpretativas de Joaquin y en la habilidad de Ridley para hacer unos efectos visuales asombrosos.

En cuanto a la afirmación de Brian de que él podría haber interpretado mejor a Napoleón, Lorris dice que sin duda podría encajar en una versión más vieja del emperador, sobre todo porque posee el mismo carisma que Napoleón tenía entre sus soldados.

Joaquin Phoenix has an ally on the Hollywood battlefield -- the historical advisor from his film, "Napoleon" is leaping to his defense following some biting criticism from Brian Cox.

Lorris Chevalier tells TMZ ... Joaquin did the best with what he was given on-set -- even though he himself wanted to take "Napoleon" in a different, unique, direction ... but he faced stiff opposition.

Despite his ideas being shut down, Lorris says Joaquin really threw himself into the role ... hitting up spots like Napoleon's private castle, the Malmaison and several other Napoleonic sites around Paris for some hands-on character research.

Ryan Garcia is not taking the Devin Haney fight seriously ... and because of that, the 24-1 boxer will suffer the 2nd loss of his career -- at least that's the way fellow star fighter Shakur Stevenson sees it!

Stevenson, 21-0, joined Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ahead of the Haney vs. Garcia fight on Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn ... and we asked Shakur for his thoughts.

"I kinda think [Ryan's] not focused. I don't think that he's really taking the fight serious," Stevenson said.

Andy Ruiz's ex has won her court battle with the star boxer ... TMZ Sports has learned a judge granted her a permanent restraining order earlier this month against the former heavyweight champ.

Julia Lemus had been seeking the order of protection since April 2023 ... after she alleged Ruiz sexually assaulted, abused, and terrorized her throughout their relationship.

In her application for the order, Lemus -- who began seeing Ruiz around 2016 -- said the 34-year-old would often grab and yank her to move her wherever he wanted her to go. She also claimed he would "jokingly" punch her in her arms and legs, leaving her with bruises.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes might be on vacation, but the trolls seem to find them regardless ... with some hardcore Raiders fans giving them guff as they left a restaurant.

TMZ obtained video of the pair grabbing a bite at Rosa Negra -- a luxury Latin restaurant in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico -- Thursday night, and it looked like one hot date night for the couple, sans any kids.

Eyewitnesses say the couple hung out for about two hours before dipping out ... and, that's when they got heckled by some fans of an opposing team ... with some goons booing and hissing them, not to mention shouting "RAIDERS" to Patty and Brit as they bounced.

Zoe Saldaña está diciendo adiós a su elegante casa en Beverly Hills y está obstinada en sacarle el mayor provecho posible con el precio de una pequeña fortuna.

De acuerdo con los registros de propiedad, la lujosa mansión de la actriz salió a la venta el viernes y si se la logra vender al precio inicial de $14,5 millones, ella podría obtener un beneficio considerable, teniendo en cuenta que la compró por $8,7 millones en 2016.

Zoe compró la propiedad en ese entonces a Kimora Lee Simmons y claramente se ha revalorizado desde entonces.

According to property records ... the actress' ritzy mansion hit the market Friday ... and if it manages to sell at the listing price of $14.5 MILLION, she stands to make a hefty profit, considering she scooped up the place for $8.7 million in 2016.

Zoe bought the place at the time from Kimora Lee Simmons, and it's clearly appreciated in value since then.

Chingy is ready for his second wind of music success, but he's wary of the industry -- telling us he's been burned by bad rumors and beef, and doesn't want to see future artists suffer the same fate!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the "Right Thurr" rapper ahead of the debut of his "Unsung" episode on TV One. He's on his "Nu Beginnings" wave courtesy of his brand-new single released today, but still has a sour taste in his mouth over the Sidney Starr situation he says killed his career climb.

Chingy recalls being blackballed when Sidney, a transgender model, lied about sleeping with him back in the day, and tells us her eventual apology barely did any real damage control.

Lil Duval is full 'o puns on Instagram, but he'd much rather speak from a hymn book in real life -- that's his testimony, anyway.

The comedian acknowledged using the lord to troll us -- we don't mind, Duval, it's still good content. Maybe the City Girls have a prayer of coming back now!!!
