The Argentine Football Association isn't backing down in the face of a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed against them and Lionel Messi ... with the soccer body flat out saying they did nothing wrong!

“AFA is aware of the lawsuit filed by VID Music Group and its principal, Javier Fernandez. AFA fully performed all of its obligations under the relevant agreements, including delivering the Argentine national team for both matches in October 2025," a representative for the association told TMZ Sports.

AFA will defend this matter vigorously — and will pursue collection of the millions of dollars owed to it by the very parties who filed this lawsuit.“

Azzi Fudd was officially introduced as a member of the Dallas Wings on Thursday ... but her first experience with the local media hit a snag when a reporter asked about her relationship with superstar teammate Paige Bueckers.

The awkward moment went down at the No. 1 overall pick's presser -- after some standard basketball questions, one journalist asked if Fudd was still dating Bueckers ... and if so, had they talked to other couples in the WNBA about the dynamic.

Before Fudd could say a word, a Wings staffer interrupted ... saying the inquiry was out of bounds.

Bryan Cranston dug up some holes ... and buried Shia LaBeouf in the process.

The brutal moment happened during his Esquire sit-down with 'Malcolm in the Middle' costar Frankie Muniz ... when Muniz got candid about a major career fork in the road. He revealed he was locked in to star in “Holes” before “Agent Cody Banks” got the green light -- forcing him to choose.

“I immediately picked Agent Cody Banks,” Muniz said … admitting people around him were pushing him toward “Holes” because it was “a little more dramatic.”

Braxton Berrios doesn't seem too fazed by his ex-girlfriend Alix Earle's drama with Alex Cooper -- the NFL hunk was spotted on a dinner date with a new woman on Wednesday ... and let's just say the dude certainly has a type.

The Houston Texans receiver hit up the Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles with stunning model Hollie Ford ... and he was all smiles as the two left the establishment in his G-Wagon.

After he opened the door for Ford (aww, what a gentleman), Berrios was asked about the biggest internet feud of the week as he hopped behind the wheel ... and he stated he had no new info to share -- even declining to show support for his former partner.

The L.A. Clippers' championship dreams were crushed at the hands of the Golden State Warriors in the Play-In Tournament ... and ya know who's really happy about that?? Chris Paul.

The Dubs pulled off a thrilling comeback victory led by Stephen Curry and Draymond Green on Wednesday ... setting up a date with the Phoenix Suns later this week after the 126-121 victory.

CP3 -- who played for both organizations during his Hall of Fame career, but far more notably with the Clippers -- had some fun with the result ... sharing the iconic "stopped by my biggest hater's funeral" meme.

Tiger Woods is trying like hell to keep his prescription records out of his DUI case -- the golf legend's attorney claims his privacy is at risk if a subpoena for his pill history is granted.

Prosecutors are looking to track down a bunch of info on Woods' meds -- how many times his prescriptions have been filled this year, the amount of pills he's gotten, his dosage and the instructions that come with them, including warnings about driving after consumption -- after he was charged with DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test in connection to his March 27 crash.

Douglas Duncan recently filed a response to the subpoena request ... stating it would be an "intrusion into Mr. Woods' privacy" if the records are included in the criminal investigation.

"I was expecting Herb to pick my hand up."

Curtis Blaydes wholeheartedly believes he beat Josh Hokit during their insane UFC 327 fight ... a bloody, action-packed scrap that's been described as the greatest heavyweight bout ever.

"When they gave us the judgment, I was in a little bit of shock. I was like, 'Dang, I thought I did enough,'" Curtis told Babcock.

Officially, the 35-year-old heavyweight lost by unanimous decision, with all three judges' scorecards reading the same ... 29-28 (2 rounds to 1 for Hokit).

WWE Superstar Rusev is ready to step out of the squared circle and into the boxing ring -- he’s got his sights set on Jake Paul ... even with WrestleMania right around the corner!!!

We caught up with the Bulgarian Brute ahead of his Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match this weekend in Las Vegas ... and during a conversation about which celebrities he would want to “crush,” Rusev initially brought up Jelly Roll -- before quickly turning his attention to Jake.

“I would definitely love to put my hands on that guy,” Rusev said.

And it’s not just talk. Rusev claims his own boxing coach has been pushing him toward it ... telling him he has the tools to make real noise in the sport, especially his power.

According to Rusev, his trainer believes he has a “mean right hook” that could seriously do damage in the ring.

Rusev also took a jab at Paul’s past injuries, referencing his jaw and joking that he’s “half Terminator,” suggesting he’s not exactly worried about what Jake brings to the table.

Jake Paul has made a name for himself by taking on fighters from all over the combat sports world ... most recently getting rocked by Anthony Joshua, resulting in a busted jaw.

And Rusev sounds more than confident he would handle business ... just like AJ did last year.

Despite the talk, Rusev is currently locked in on WrestleMania ... where he will compete in a chaotic ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.

He's not overlooking it ... but it's clear he's put some thought into what comes next.

Alix Earle has a heavyweight in her corner amid her feud with Alex Cooper ... 'cause Carl’s Jr. is standing firmly behind its Super Bowl star, TMZ has learned.

A Carl's Jr. spokesperson tells TMZ ... "While there seems to be plenty of beef circulating online lately, we promise ours is the juiciest. Alix’s authentic style was the perfect fit for our campaign. She is the best in the business at post-game recovery, so it was a natural fit."

The star burger company adds to the quippy statement ... "The campaign, which was focused on giving away our Hangover Burger as the post-big game recovery cure, delivered record-breaking results."

Kim, of course, had her signature curves on full display in gray leggings and a cropped hoodie ... while Lewis matched the vibe, keeping it effortlessly cool -- and TBH, they look very good together.

These two have been locked in since making things official at Super Bowl LX ... and they’ve barely left each other’s side since, bouncing between Arizona, the UK, Colorado, and now back to Cali.

Alex Cooper has her claws out and is coming out to play ... exposing DMs with Brianna Chickenfry, who's been openly defending Alix Earle -- amid the ongoing Alex-Alix online feud.

The "Call Her Daddy" host took to Instagram, coming in hot, starting her rant with "This girl on girl s*** needs to stop" ... adding, "While Alix tries to get her story together, let me address Brianna Chickenfry" -- a current Barstool employee who has inserted herself into the battle of the blondes.

Cooper claims Brianna is adding onto the "fake narrative and dog pile" by coming online and calling her a mean girl ... but Cooper has the receipts and DMs that, according to her, prove otherwise.

Guy Fieri issued a full-throated mea culpa after he was seen shaking Andrew Tate's hand at UFC 327 last weekend ... and now he's getting roasted over a spit by the Tate brothers' lawyer.

Here's the donkey sauce ... the Food Network star was blasted by fans after dapping it up with the brothers at the big event. Seeing his fans were clearly bent out of shape, Guy issued a statement claiming he doesn't know the duo ... and doesn't support them.

Joe McBride, the brothers' lawyer, is calling BS, telling TMZ ... Guy "knew exactly" who the brothers are and was all too happy to catch up with them -- until the Woke Mob came after him.

More trouble for Mark Hunt -- one of the most beloved UFC fighters ever -- the heavy-hitting heavyweight was arrested after he was accused of threatening to kill a female acquaintance.

"I'm just going to murder you in the end anyway," the 52-year-old MMA legend allegedly texted the woman after a dispute this week in South Wales, Australia, which prompted cops to rush to the scene and take Hunt into custody Tuesday night.

He is facing one count of stalking or intimidation with intent to cause physical harm.

Hunt was initially refused bail before his first court appearance on Wednesday, but was ultimately allowed to bond out after agreeing to abide by a series of strict conditions.

The Super Samoan was a fan favorite during his run with the UFC, beloved for his devastating power, and his signature walk-offs.

In the Octagon, Mark mixed it up with some of the best heavyweights ever, including Stipe Miocic, Brock Lesnar, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, Curtis Blaydes, and Derrick Lewis, among others.

Hunt last fought in December 2018 in a losing effort.

Mark has faced significant challenges since walking away from fighting, including health, financial, and legal troubles that have severely impacted his life.

While Hunt has not addressed the claim, his legal team disputed the charge in court.
