Benzino says if he sees the female officer he cursed out in his neighborhood ever again he's got two words for her ... "I'm sorry." But, he hopes she does the same.

The former "Love & Hip Hop" star tells TMZ ... he's offering a mea culpa following his meltdown and profanity-laced outrage at the female officer who assisted in his arrest outside Atlanta last week. As we first showed you, Benzino went NUCLEAR on the female officer ... yelling "Suck my d**k!" while sitting in the back seat of the squad car.

Benzino, who initially accused the officers of racial profiling, says he shoulda never cursed out the cop or used such graphic language. Check out the vid ... Benzino alleges the female cop also said nasty things to him -- like, "shut the f*** up" -- before her body cam turned on, but ultimately he still regrets the whole mess.

Dennis Quaid knows how to seize a good opportunity -- when he gets the chance to play Jim Morrison in a Doors spinoff band ... he takes it.

The actor was in the crowd for the very first show of Doors guitarist Robby Krieger's aptly-named new band, The New Experience, at the Viva Rancho Cantina in Burbank Thursday night.

We're told about halfway through their jazzy blues set, Quaid hopped on stage to take over lead vocals on a cover of one of the famed L.A. band's classic songs ... "Riders on the Storm."

Check it out ... Dennis has the style, swagger and voice to pull it off, and the crowd loves it. Everybody digs Robby's vintage guitar solo too.

BTW, Krieger's band is a supergroup project of sorts. Along with The Doors connection, it features other musicians who have played with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Prince and Annie Lennox.

We are one week away from the FIFA Women's World Cup Finals, but before we can even think about that we've got to show you what some of the true futbol fanatics look like! 

From kooky costumes to outrageous headgear, these dedicated supporters in the stands have been cheering on their teams since the start ... I mean who wouldn't want fans like this? Talk about goals! 

Take a good look at the faces in the crowd by rolling through our gallery of wacky Women's World Cup fans ... see the iconic looks from the folks getting noticed for supporting in style!

Forget Tom Cruise ... Steve-O says HE should be the one to fight Justin Bieber -- telling TMZ Sports that Justin is "picking a fight with the wrong guy!"

We broke the story ... Dana White is hoping to put together a UFC match between the Biebs and Cruise after Justin called out the actor on Twitter.

But, Steve-O says he's personally offended that he wasn't the guy in the initial challenge ... telling us out at LAX, "I'm sick of being overlooked for my potential as a cage fighter!"

Steve-O says he was so upset about the Bieber snub ... he actually flew to Las Vegas to have a personal convo with Dana White himself about it all!!

"I had a little chat with Dana White," Steve-O says ... "And he agreed that if Tom Cruise doesn't step up, and someone needs to fill the cage with Justin Bieber, then I'm the guy."

"We shook on it, me and Dana White."

Steve-O then issued a call-out of his own to Bieber ... telling the Biebs, "I think you've been picking a fight with the wrong guy. Tom Cruise might be 56, but, hey, I'm 45!"

As for who would win in the Octagon ... all Steve-O would tell us is that Justin has NO chance of ending the fight early -- saying, "I can take a serious beating."

He ain't lyin'!!!

Brandi Chastain's good looks are kicking everyone else out of the competition!

Here is a 30-year-old version of the two-time FIFA Women's World Cup Champion flashing her pearly whites at the First Annual Teen Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California back in 1999 (left). That same year Chastain famously celebrated, in a sports bra, her winning penalty shootout goal during the 1999 World Cup final. 

And 20 years later ... The now 50-year-old two-time Olympic gold medalist -- Whom is the mother of two boys -- was spotted attending the International Champions Cup event in New York City earlier this year (right).

Now this is what you call goals!!!

The question is ...

Zoë Kravitz is just the latest celeb to be tying the knot in France -- except her guests of honor are basically a who's-who of Hollywood ... Monterey style. 

The actress held her wedding with fiance Karl Glusman Saturday in Paris, where much of her co-stars from "Big Little Lies" showed up in style. Nicole Kidman and her hubby, Keith Urban, were on hand, as was Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley. -- aka, The Monterey Five. 

No sign of Meryl Streep here -- she just joined the series for season 2 -- but at least Bonnie's got her girls by her side in a much lighter atmosphere. 

BTW, Donald Glover and 'Fantastic Beasts' star Eddie Redmayne was in attendance for Zoë's big day -- Cara Delevingne and Denzel Washington were too (DW's tight with her dad, Lenny Kravitz). The guest list was pretty much a repeat of their pre-wedding bash event earlier in the week. 

The big difference now ... it's actually show time! Er ... HBO, more like. 

Zoë's 'BLL' character might be down in the dumps on TV, but ya gotta imagine she was beaming in real life today. We'll be on the lookout for pics of the bride in her dress and add 'em once we get 'em.

Joe Jonas is a stud in his duds for his wedding day -- and he went all black for round 2. 

The middle Jonas Bro was suited and booted Saturday ahead of his second ceremony with his wife, Sophie Turner, at a sweet French estate they booked for the event -- it's called Château de Tourreau, and it is NIIIICE. As for attire, JJ opted for a black-on-black tuxedo ... and we gotta say, ya boy was looking real sharp for his nuptials. 

Of course, Joe's family were all there -- Nick and Priyanka, as well as Kevin and his wife, Danielle, all took photos with the groom-to-be. Mama and Papa Jonas got in on the photo ops too ... it was a full-blown family affair -- and everyone's dressed to the nines.

As we reported ... Joe and Sophie had themselves a red wedding rehearsal earlier this week -- this coming just nearly two months after they tied the knot on a whim in Vegas.

No sign of the bride yet, but if Joe's vibes are any indication ... she must've stunned walking down the aisle. It's already past 10 PM in France, and the couple has reportedly exchanged vows ... but photos of the actual wedding (and Sophie) have yet to surface.

Congrats to the happy couple ... again!!!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son is a newly-minted New York Yankees fan -- all because the team took the time to make him a jersey while playing across the pond.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex crashed the Yankees-Red Sox game Saturday in London, where the two rivals are facing off this weekend for an historic two-game series ... the first to ever be played in Europe. Who better to invite than the Royal couple, right???

The Red Sox gave MM and PH a team onesie, which was cute ... but it didn't really hold a candle to the Yankees' gift -- a custom baby jersey, with Archie's name on the back.

If you watch Meghan's reaction here, there's no comparison ... Yankees took the cake with that thoughtful gesture. The onesie's cool and all, but c'mon ... make a jersey, fellas.

Anyway, Archie wasn't with his mom and dad at the game -- at nearly two months old, the newborn's probably at home soaking up some ZZZs. Not to worry though -- his parents made sure he was well-represented at the MLB event.

Dog the Bounty Hunter said his wife Beth Chapman's death came fast, but because she was fighting cancer -- she made plans for the worst ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the Chapman family tell TMZ ... Dog and Beth's children had several discussions with her about her memorial arrangements if she died. The couple have homes in both Hawaii and Colorado, and we're told she laid out details for send-offs in both places -- open to anyone who wants to come.

Obviously, Beth's talks with her family about what to do after her passing were not easy to have, but our sources say they're glad they did it so they can carry out her wishes.

As we reported ... Dog addressed Beth's death to the media outside his Honolulu home Wednesday night, and paid tribute to her with some jokes and a touching final message.

People began leaving flowers next to a painting of Beth and on her car as tribute, but her official Hawaii memorial service will be held Saturday afternoon at Fort DeRussy Beach in Waikiki.

It will include a Hawaiian chant known as an oli, a prayer, and a paddle out with family and friends in her honor. Beth's daughters say she loved Hawaii the most, so they're sending her off in fitting style.

We're told Dog is still finalizing the schedule for Beth's Colorado memorial.

Chris Pratt got burnt to a crisp on his honeymoon ... and he wants you to see it from top to bottom. 

The 'Avengers' actor posted a photo Saturday of his entire backside -- ass crack included -- which was sunburned to the max ... minus his pale white cheeks, of course. He and his new bride, Katherine Schwarzenegger, just got back from their Hawaiian honeymoon, BTW.

Chris captioned the pic, "Suns out guns out I might have got(ten) a toouuuch crispy on the honeymoon" ... adding "#Aloe." You can say that again ... this looks mighty painful. 

Luckily for him, one of his Hollywood pals already has a solution to his hot mess of a problem -- Gwyneth Paltrow commented on his post, writing ... "I've got some goop for that." Kat also responded to it, throwing up a bunch of flame emojis. 

Chris and Kat have been in Lanai -- a separate island right off the coast of Maui -- since at least Wednesday, celebrating their marriage two weeks after tying the knot. 

They held off embarking on their honeymoon for a bit ... opting for some gym sessions in L.A. instead. Looks like they've done the deed though, and now they're back in the homeland.

Rapper Slim 400 was just rushed to a Los Angeles Hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.

Law enforcement sources tell us they got a call around 8:30 PM Friday night for a male who had been shot in Compton. We’re told Slim was the victim, though it’s unclear exactly where he suffered the gunshot wounds.

Our sources say what led up to the shooting is currently unclear ... though a black vehicle suspected to be involved in the incident was seen leaving the scene. 

We’re told at the time of this post, Slim is still alive ... the 31-year-old is a Compton native and best known for his work on “Bruisin” with YG and Sad Boy Loko.

The shooting comes nearly 3 months to the day of Nipsey Hussle’s murder. The rapper was gunned down outside his Marathon Clothing Store ... an incident that sent shock waves through Los Angeles.

This is something ... Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was front and center at a G20 event on women's empowerment. The event was titled, "Promoting the Place of Women at Work" ... and not a lot of women on the stage. Ivanka Trump was joined by British Prime Minister Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Saudi Arabia just allowed women to get drivers licenses. Women are severely restricted in terms of interacting with men. They cannot use the same entrances to a majority of public buildings as men. They can't swim in public. They need male consent to marry, divorce, obtain a passport and travel.

There's more. They need male permission regarding certain medical procedures. According to the U.S. Dept. of State Bureau of Democracy, the testimony of women in court does not carry the same weight as men.  

Saudi women cannot study abroad on a government scholarship without guardian approval, and if it is approved she must be accompanied by a male ... this according to Human Rights Watch.

James Harden may have been rocketing down a Shanghai street a little too fast, because he was corralled by cops and slapped with a ticket.

Khloe Kardashian's ex was cruising on a scooter Friday when he was pulled over. It's unclear exactly what he did wrong -- allegedly -- but whatever it was caught the eye of police. BTW, Shanghai is crawling with cops.

It looks like he was riding with friends, and they went on their merry without incident.  

The Rockets star has been in China for more than a week doing a promotional tour for Addidas.  He's done a meet and greet with fans at the Beijing University of Technology and led a youth basketball clinic at the Tianhe Sports Center in Guangzhou.  

It's definitely not summertime until some float photos start flooding your feed!

Stars such as Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Bella Hadid, Lindsey Vonn, Kendall Jenner, and Shay Mitchell are getting into the spirit of the season by soaking up the sun on their buoyant birds.

These famous floaters are taking full advantage of the weather and making sure they have some fun while they are at it!

Here you go Lakers fans ... the first clip of LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing together on the same court since the trade ... and it all went down on the set of "Space Jam 2."

The NBA superstars have been hoopin' together while shooting the flick in Los Angeles. You can see the guys warming up alongside Damian Lillard and a few WNBA stars who are appearing in the movie. 

There's another guy rocking a #2 jersey -- but we couldn't positively identify him. We're told the players in the movie are wearing jerseys reflecting their jersey numbers in the NBA. So, if you recognize him, let us know in the comments!!!

As we previously reported, Klay Thompson has been on the set ... though it's unclear if his knee injury will prevent him from shooting scenes. Draymond Green was also spotted on set working out with the guys. 

By the way, LeBron has been wearing #6 on the set -- and Davis has been wearing #23. Interesting, considering reports that LeBron would be ceding his #23 Lakers jersey to Davis and returning back to #6, the jersey he wore while playing in Miami and also during his Team USA days. 

Wendy Williams' son may get a break, because it looks like the criminal assault case is going away, but Cardi B's been slammed by the D.A., and some think it's a case of hip-hop prosecutors.

So, we gotta ask ...
