Ric Flair nearly handed out figure four leg locks outside a pizza joint in Florida after a heated argument at the bar ended with a challenge to fight in the parking lot ... and the entire ordeal was captured on video!

The 3-minute long video shows an agitated Nature Boy arguing with a Piesanos restaurant manager in Gainesville, FL before another patron steps in and threatens Flair with physical violence.

"Come outside here and talk to me like a man," Ric told the manager he was jawing with, before another man interrupted, standing up, looking at Flair, and ominously saying, "Hey, you wanna go have a talk with me in the parking lot? Cause I'll work you. I don't give a s**t."

Kendall Jenner seems to be back with Bad Bunny -- at least that's what it looked like at the Met Gala ... where they were seen getting cozy, and possibly even staying at the same hotel.

The model and pop star were photographed hanging out at an after-party Monday night in NYC -- this on the heels of both of them walking up the steps of the famous museum and showing off their snazziest outfits. They didn't show up together there, but after ... no doubt.

As you can see, Kendall and BB were sitting very close to one another at a rager ... and KJ is flashing a big smile with a drink in her hand -- and Bunny himself is doing the same thing.

The Indianapolis Star columnist who had a cringe-worthy exchange with Caitlin Clark at her Fever introductory news conference last month has reportedly been suspended over the bizarre encounter.

Longtime journalist Bob Kravitz -- who used to work for the Star -- said the outlet hit Gregg Doyel with a two-week ban in the days following his strange April 17 interaction with the WNBA player.

Kravitz did not specify when exactly the punishment began for the reporter ... although he noted Doyel's last Star piece -- a Colts-related article -- was published on April 29. Kravitz added that Doyel is expected to return from the ban on May 13.

Patrick Beverley says he's super sorry for chucking a basketball at some heckling Pacers fans last week ... but amid his apology, he revealed their trash talk simply went too far.

The Milwaukee star opened up on the incident while chatting on his "The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone" on Tuesday ... just days after he was criticized by the NBA world for his immature behavior at the end of the Bucks' playoff loss in Indiana on May 2.

If you missed it, the 35-year-old heaved a ball at a female Pacers supporter who had been sitting a few rows from the Bucks' team bench. Then, after he got the ball back, he threw it once more, hitting a different Indiana fan in the midsection.

Rudy Gobert missed game 2 of the Timberwolves playoff series against the Nuggets so he could be with his GF after she gave birth to the couple's first child ... a decision that Gilbert Arenas says was all wrong!!

The T'Wolves announced Gobert would not be available for Monday night's game ... as girlfriend Julia Bonilla had the baby early Monday, and it didn't leave the NBA star enough time to fly back to Denver in time for tip-off at Ball Arena.

Arenas -- who played 12 seasons in the NBA -- did not agree with the 3x All-Star's decision to skip the playoff game ... even despite the T'wolves going into game 2 up 1-0.

Jamal Murray melted down on the Nuggets' bench during their blowout loss Monday night ... hurling not only a towel onto the floor during game action -- but a full-on heat pack too!

The Denver superstar was seen on video committing the childish behavior with just under five minutes to play in the first half of the Nuggets' playoff game against the Timberwolves at Ball Arena.

Clearly frustrated by being down 17 points so early in a pivotal Game 2 contest ... cameras caught Murray chucking a towel near the players on the floor -- before he threw a heating aid as well.

While the divorce jokes at the Tom Brady roast had audiences in stitches, one person reportedly didn't find them funny at all ... TB12's ex, Gisele Bündchen.

According to People, the supermodel was "deeply disappointed" by all the flippant references to her split with the NFL legend that were made during Netflix's "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady" on Sunday night.

Everyone from Kevin Hart to Nikki Glaser to Drew Bledsoe poked fun at the infamous breakup ... with most of the comedians in attendance mercilessly clowning Brady for being replaced by jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

Angel Reese traded in her kicks for heels on her 22nd birthday ... the WNBA star celebrated at the 2024 Met Gala -- and she looked amazing!!!

The Chicago Sky forward pulled up to the iconic fashion event at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on Monday for her first time ... where she wore the hell out of a 16Arlington by Marco Capaldo's seafoam green mini dress with feathers.

Fans went crazy over the stunning 6-foot-3 hooper  ... and Reese was lovin' the experience!

Kris Jenner looked ready to walk down the aisle as she was heading to the Met Gala -- rocking a getup that basically screamed wifey-to-be ... with Corey Gamble close behind.

Check out this video we got of the iconic momager leaving her hotel in NYC and heading on over to the Met -- where a parade of celebs have already made their entrance ... and which Kris and Corey were happy to arrive a tad bit late for. Always save the best for last!

It was certainly worth the wait ... 'cause Kris looked absolutely stunning in her white gown. And yes, like we said, it's giving "Here Comes the Bride" getting into her ride ... a sprinter.

O.J. Simpson infamously attended his daughter's dance recital the day of the gruesome double murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994 ... and now a program from the event, signed by the Hall of Famer, is on the auction block.

O.J. and Nicole's daughter, Sydney, performed at the "Dance For Kids" recital on June 12, 1994 at a junior high school in L.A. ... and both parents were in the building.

The show started at 5 PM... and Sydney performed a number titled "Footloose."

We're starting the week off strong here at TMZ -- and that goes doubly for our TV topics!!!

Let's kick things off with 'TMZ Live,' where Charles and Babcock talked about the roast seen-round-the-world -- and it came courtesy of none other than Tom Brady himself, the GOAT.

Safe to say ... he took some slings and arrows, but a lot of other folks caught strays as well.

If you were one of the wrestling fans pondering how WWE could possibly top this year's WrestleMania, we may have the answer ... Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar!

It's the biggest rap feud in more than 2 decades ... pitting two of the biggest stars in all of music against each other. The question is, how does it end?

Wrestling legend Shawn Michaels has an idea.

The biggest night in fashion is underway and the biggest names from around the world are ready to climb the iconic Metropolitan Museum Of Art stairs ... and they all look wide awake!

Vogue's EIC Anna Wintour spared no expense to create an eye-popping exhibit in NYC, with this year's theme being 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.' And, it looks like the celebs didn't skimp on the style either, nor were they dozing off as they made an entrance.

Peep the stars who've already shown up -- you had the likes of Bad Bunny, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Lopez show up bright and early to lead the charge ... fitting, since they're the A-list co-chairs of the shindig. Ashely Graham dropped in and made a splash too.

Kim Kardashian was the butt of a lot of jokes at a roast that was supposed to be all about Tom Brady -- with a not-so-welcome reception too ... but, in fairness, she took it in stride.

The reality star was one of many of celebs on hand Sunday night for Netflix's "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady" -- and when she was eventually introduced by Kevin Hart and co. to come up to the podium to say a few words ... people didn't seem happy to see her.

The clip's going viral ... a cascade of boos greeted Kim when she got onstage and started her monologue -- which was taking aim at Kevin ... but she couldn't even get the words out.

Aaron Hernandez ended up being referenced at least a couple different times during Tom Brady's roast -- and not in a flattering way either ... which is why his ex-fiancée is pissed.

The late Patriots star's partner Shayanna Jenkins -- who's also the mother of his only child -- tells TMZ she's disappointed in the fact that her deceased fiancé was the butt of multiple jokes during the Netflix program ... which ended up making light of his sad story.

She says, "It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world."
