Rashee Rice has been accused of hitting a photographer so hard in the face during an altercation outside of a Texas nightclub earlier this week, he left the man with swelling on his jaw ... this according to new police documents, obtained by TMZ Sports.

Dallas Police Dept. officers wrote in the docs the incident took place at around 2 AM on Monday at Lit Kitchen in Dallas ... after the photog said he and Rice had been at the hot spot for "an after hours party."

Cops say in the docs the grapher told authorities he had left the venue in his car, but returned a short time later after Rice sent him a message that indicated the Chiefs star might want to hire him.

Donna Kelce says she and her ex-husband, Ed Kelce, agreed to stay together 'til after their sons, Travis and Jason, got out of college ... in an effort to give the boys as good of an upbringing as possible.

Momma Kelce opened about her relationship with her former hubby on the Mother's Day edition of iHeartMedia's The Martha Stewart Podcast this week ... and at one point during the talk, she admitted she and Ed made a pact to stay together through their sons' time at the Univ. of Cincinnati.

She told Stewart that raising two boys -- specifically ones who were athletic -- would have been just too tough to do on their own ... so, "Ed and I, we worked together as a team."

Tom Brady was PISSED Robert Kraft caught a stray during Sunday's G.R.O.A.T. ... and now we know why -- roasters were explicitly told NOT to make any happy ending jokes, a directive Jeff Ross ignored!

Comedian Andrew Schulz, who was a part of the show, provided a bit of a peak behind the curtain, revealing massage cracks were out of bounds.

"I think that was 100% real," Schulz said on his "Flagrant" show, explaining, "The reason why I think it's real is because they told us no jokes about happy endings with Robert Kraft."

LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson are unloading on Chip Kelly's tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles ... claiming it was blatantly obvious the coach was "uncomfortable" dealing with Black players.

The two former Pro Bowlers went in on Kelly in the latest episode of their "25 10 Show" podcast this week ... and one of the most serious issues they had with the coach was that it seemed he treated players differently based on race.

McCoy gave several examples to back his claim ... saying Kelly implemented rules that dampened the Black lifestyle on the team -- including music in the locker room and at practice, cars on game day, clothing and even how players wore their hair.

Jana Kramer said Travis Kelce is "always drunk" and a bad influence on Taylor Swift -- but she might as well be J Lo to Mariah Carey for him ... 'cause he doesn't even know her.

Sources connected to Travis tell TMZ ... he's taken aback by her inflammatory comments about him on her podcast -- where she characterized him as a party animal and as someone who reminded her of an ex ... in a bad way.

We're told Travis has never met Jana ... and before Tuesday, he wasn't familiar with her whatsoever -- even though she's technically famous from her "One Tree Hill" days, etc.

Travis Kelce's entertainment endeavors won't be a problem within the Chiefs' locker room ... so says fellow acting athlete Thomas Q. Jones, who believes the Kansas City tight end's teammates will have zero issue with him pursuing his Hollywood dreams.

TK landed a role in Ryan Murphy's new horror series, "Grotesquerie" ... adding to his growing list of ventures off the gridiron -- including hosting "Saturday Night Live" and the new "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?" game show.

Jones -- who's built quite the impressive acting résumé himself after retiring from the NFL in 2011 -- joined Charles and Courtney on "TMZ Live" to discuss the three-time Super Bowl champ's news ... and he thinks there are only positives that'll come of it.

Nikki Glaser's standing by her Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen divorce jokes ... saying she thinks the topic's fair game at a roast -- and joking Gisele actually had it coming.

We caught up with the controversial comedian outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in Hollywood Tuesday, and asked her if she thinks Brady's roast panel hit the divorce jokes a little too hard ... which is a feeling many had after each person hammered the topic home.

Glaser says she tried not to go too hard on GB ... and, she actually hopes the supermodel can forgive her one day if she's upset ... 'cause she says she loves her a ton.

Antonio Brown is attempting to bury the hatchet with Caitlin Clark ... sending a heartfelt message to the WNBA star with the clear intent of moving on from their beef.

If you missed it, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout kicked off a feud with the hooper with some inappropriate posts on X last month -- forcing the Indiana Fever point guard to block him on the popular social media app.

But, AB tried to extend an olive branch her way during an appearance on "Fearless with Jason Whitlock" on Tuesday ... saying he was simply playing around.

Johnny Manziel and Josie Canseco clearly have no issue putting their love out there for everyone to see -- the Heisman Trophy winner and Victoria's Secret model shared a passionate kiss on social media amid their new romance ... and seemingly professed their love for each other in the process.

Manziel posted the PDA-packed footage on Tuesday ... staring into the camera before turning to his lady and planting a few pecks.

It sounds like Manziel then says "I do love you" ... with Canseco returning the words.

If you miss Travis Kelce on the football field, in the podcast world or on a game show ... don't worry, there's now yet another way you can see the NFL star -- on the small screen in a new FX horror series.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed Tuesday he's scored a role in Ryan Murphy's upcoming show, "Grotesquerie."

It's not clear how big Taylor Swift's boyfriend's part will be ... although his co-worker on the project, Niecy Nash-Betts, appeared to indicate in videos from the set that he ain't exactly an extra.

Bridget Moynahan is smiling on the outside -- showing up for her costar Tom Selleck's event in NYC -- but she's also strongly hinting she's pissed about her ex, Tom Brady's roast, where their split was fodder for savage jokes.

The actress popped up Tuesday night at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y for a discussion about her "Blue Bloods" costar Selleck's new book, "You Never Know: A Memoir" in New York.

Moynahan seemed happy and content as she posed for photogs, and even spoke to a live audience about his book and the recent canceling of their CBS show after 14 seasons.

Kim Kardashian getting booed at Tom Brady's roast came and went in the live broadcast -- and you're not gonna find it again in the current version on the platform ... it's been edited.

Indeed ... the awkward moment from Sunday's show -- where Kim was introduced by Kevin Hart, only to be met by a cascade of boos from the audience as she got to the podium -- no longer exists on the since-posted iteration of the roast.

It's only a few seconds that have been cut out ... now, instead of Kim standing there and shooting a look at the crowd -- with someone onstage telling them to settle down -- it just seamlessly gets into her material ... with KK taking a light-hearted dig at Kevin's height.

The ring Kevin Hart gifted to Tom Brady for being such a good sport during Sunday night's roast wasn't merely a prop ... TMZ Sports has learned it's the real deal -- coming in with a staggering worth of $40,000!!!

We're told celeb jeweler Jason Arashaben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills -- who actually created TB12's final Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl ring -- was the mastermind behind the piece, tasked with completing it in time for Netflix's "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady."

Jason threw the kitchen sink at the bling ... loading it with just under 400 diamonds, rubies and sapphires. A spokesperson for the jeweler tells us it's all set on yellow gold, weighs around 6 carats -- and would cost normies about as much as a brand-new car to own.

It's hump day in the week -- and we're gonna help you get passed it with our TV topics!

Let's kick things off with "TMZ Live," where Charles and Charlie dove into how Gisele is reportedly feeling after Tom Brady's roast ... where their former relationship as husband and wife was front and center and getting mercilessly mocked.

Safe to say, she ain't too happy about it ... and she ain't pleased with TB12 either, it seems.

Turns out not everyone knows Travis and Jason Kelce ... and actress Krysten Ritter is one of those people, 'cause the "Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune" contestant had NO IDEA who the famous bros were during a recent episode!

The "Jessica Jones" actress appeared on the long-running game show on Monday, alongside Sarah Levy from "Schitt's Creek" and designer Christian Siriano ... when they were confronted with the seemingly simple puzzle.

The category was "Family" ... and as the letters nearly filled the entire puzzle, it was clear Ritter wasn't hip to the NFL's most famous siblings.
