Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are expecting, and they are showing off that baby bump with style!
The two were absolutely glowing out in Harlem (his hometown). Her outfit seems to compliment the reveal super well … with a gold cross and some jewels resting on the bump! They weren’t out long, as it seemed pretty chilly out there, before heading back to their apartment.
The couple has been friends for years, but started dating back at the end of 2020, and have been inseparable ever since … TMZ reported at the beginning of that year, they were seen hanging out quite a bit after her breakup with Hassan Jameel, and speculation started flying around about the now-lovebirds.
Since they’ve gone public, they’ve been spotted out in NYC nonstop.
Best of luck to the happy couple as they prepare for their first kid together – who will no doubt get some musical talent from their parents!

Robert Wall, 9th Deg Black Belt 'Enter The Dragon' Actor Dead At 82 ... Worked w/ Bruce Lee & Chuck Norris

Tang Soo Do master Robert Wall, who trained with and acted alongside Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee in some of the greatest martial arts films of all time has died at the age of 82 ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Wall was a 9th degree Tang Soo Do black belt under Norris ... who is credited with bringing the discipline to the West. The men trained together for many years ... and were business partners.
In addition to being a martial arts master, Wall also played important roles on the silver screen.
Robert appeared in 1972s "Way of the Dragon" and 1973s "Enter the Dragon" -- both starring Lee, the most well-renowned martial artist to ever live.
Wall and Lee had a memorable and very real (albeit one-sided) fight in "Enter the Dragon."
In fact, years after they filmed the fight scene, Bob revealed Lee actually broke his ribs.
"Bob, I wanna hit you, and I wanna hit you hard," Wall revealed Lee told him prior to filming.
The reason ... Bruce -- who'd known Wall for 8 years before filming the movie -- wanted the fight to look as authentic as possible, so the two masters went full-speed.
Wall's family sent us the following statement on Robert's passing.
"Bob was the greatest husband and father. Family was Everything to him. He lived a remarkable life & There is a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. His spirit & legacy will live on forever within us. He was our rock."
Rest in peace.

Kid Cudi Gives Shoutout To Joe Burrow ... 'One Of My Idols!!!'
It's been an incredible 24 hours for Joe Burrow -- after defeating the Chiefs to advance to the Super Bowl, the Bengals star QB says his childhood idol, Kid Cudi, hit him up to congratulate him on the victory.
"One of my idols growing up, Kid Cudi, reached out to me yesterday," Burrow told reporters after the huge win.
"You’ve got LeBron [James] tweeting at me or whatever you said it was ... That part is surreal. The football part, not so much. That stuff is crazy."
Cudi -- who was celebrating his 38th birthday on Sunday -- tweeted at Burrow saying, "Man this has to be the illest s*** ✌🏽❤️😭 beautiful f***in' game today brother!!"
BTW -- Joe says he listens to "New York City Rage Fest" -- one of Cudi's Songs -- to get himself ready mentally every game day. But, Burrow likes too many of Cudi's songs to pick a favorite.
Man this has to be the illest shit ever✌🏾💖 😭 beautiful fuckin game today brother!! https://t.co/W1nIe2qPhF
— The Chosen One : I 💖 YOU FRESHIE 4EVER (@KidCudi) January 31, 2022 @KidCudi
Of course, Cudi is a native of Ohio (shoutout Shaker Heights) ... so it's not hard to see why he's so fond of the former LSU standout and #1 overall draft pick in 2020.
Speaking of the NFL draft ... the seeds for the bromance between Burrow and Cudi were planted when the Bengals selected Joe with their first-round pick.
"Congratulations on being the number 1 draft pick," Cudi said at the time. "That's wild. That's crazy. You on your way. You just gettin started brother."

Joe Cool even said Lakers star LeBron James tweeted about him, calling him a "generational talent" and saying we all knew and saw that he'd be special.
High praises coming from one of the greatest players in NBA history ... and a figure familiar with the sports landscape in Ohio. After all, Joe did just beat Patrick Mahomes when he erased an 18-pt deficit on the road.
All the fanfare is deserved ... and leaves folks to imagine what life will be like for JB if the Bengals upset the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.

NeNe Leakes has sold her Georgia mansion for $2.6 million, and whoever snagged the home paid almost half NeNe's initial asking price ... TMZ has learned.
The 5-bedroom, 7-bath pad sold last Tuesday, and the next resident will enjoy some pretty cool features, including a resort-style pool ... with a waterfall, y'all. Waterfalls!!!
The 10,000-sq.-ft. Mediterranean-style home is tucked away in a gated country club community. So, it's got privacy ... but it's also surrounded by some really nice views.
We broke the story back in October ... when NeNe listed the home for $4 million, which was nearly double the $2.1mil she paid for it back in 2015.
We're told the home's had lots of updates since then, as the former 'Real Housewives' star put a lot of money into making improvements.
As you might know, NeNe originally put her house on the market weeks after her late husband, Gregg, died of colon cancer.
Elaine Richardson with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty held the listing.

Antonio Brown Shirtless Tirade Memorabilia For Sale ... Glove Hits Auction Block
A glove that Antonio Brown threw into the stands during his shirtless tirade at the Bucs vs. Jets game earlier this month can now be all yours ... 'cause it's just hit the auction block.
The item is up for sale on Lelands ... and so far, there's already been 12 bids, with the highest currently at $375.
It's unclear how much it's ultimately expected to fetch ... but whatever it gets could end up being a bargain, considering how iconic Brown's meltdown was.
1/2/22
You'll recall, AB was so furious after he claimed Bruce Arians tried to get him to play on a busted-up ankle that he ripped off his pads and his shirt and then jaunted across the field.
At one point during the temper tantrum, AB tossed his gloves into the stands ... and a fan who caught one is now clearly trying to make a buck off it.
The glove is pretty cool, it was used during the game ... and you can see on the wrist, there's actually a Raiders logo that was blacked out. Clearly, Brown had kept the glove in his possession ever since his short stint in Oakland.
Bidding for it ends the day before the Super Bowl on Feb. 12 ... good luck!

Allen Iverson Emotional Seeing Pic Of Him & Kobe ... 'I Need One Of These'
NBA legend Allen Iverson got emotional at a signing event over the weekend ... after a young fan handed him a poster that featured an image of him with the late Kobe Bryant.
The cool moment was all captured on camera while Iverson was out in Texas.
You can see in video, after the kid handed him the picture -- which showed the two basketball players together on the court -- he paused to appreciate the image.
"Damn, whose is this?!" Iverson said of the photo. "This yours?!"
"Man, you going to give me one? You got another one for me? Man, I need one of these!"
Iverson eventually autographed the piece ... and then he gave some advice to the kid about always listening to his parents.
Allen's great relationship with Kobe, meanwhile, has been well documented -- the two were both a part of the 1996 draft class -- and competed against each other for decades.
Bryant -- who spent his entire career with the Lakers -- battled AI's 76ers in the 2001 NBA Finals, and although The Answer was able to steal a game from Shaq/Kobe ... Philly ultimately lost the series, 4-1.
Iverson has posted many tributes to Kobe since his death in 2020 ... praising him often and expressing how much he misses his time with the Mamba.

The Comedy Store posted about the memorial days prior, and only a limited number of tickets were available to the public for the show.
Not only did the night celebrate Saget's life, but it also served as a fundraiser for the Scleroderma Research Foundation ... an organization Bob poured his time, effort and money into for decades, after his sister died from the disease in 1994.
Bob served on the board of the foundation ... and became a champion for awareness and research.
Just last month -- a few weeks before his death -- Bob told CBS he wanted to continue fighting Scleroderma even after he was dead. Last night's event, and several more to come, will ensure that happens.

Joe Rogan Apologizes ... 'I'll Balance Controversial COVID Theories With Mainstream Science'
Joe Rogan vowed to do better in the wake of criticism his podcast is spreading COVID misinformation ... and he says he knows how to make things better and more responsible.
Rogan broke his silence Sunday ... this after Neil Young and others yanked their music off Spotify in protest.
Rogan said he's down with Spotify's disclaimer when guests go against prevailing science ... a disclaimer urging folks to talk to their physician. The disclaimer will also note the views discussed are contrary to those of experts.

But, Rogan went further, acknowledging he should have done more ... like immediately after saying goodbye to a guest who goes against the grain, he'll bring on someone with mainstream views. He says he will do that from now on.
Rogan was contrite, telling Spotify he was sorry the platform has taken heat over his podcast. Joe also said he's a huge Neil Young fan and has no hard feelings toward him.

That said, Rogan began by saying the term "misinformation" is relative ... he says some of what was considered irresponsible to say early on in the pandemic has become a conventional point of view.
The theme of Rogan's post is that he acknowledges he makes mistakes and says he's frankly shocked he finds himself in the position he's in ... with millions who listen and many who are influenced by what he says.

Prince Frédéric Prinz Von Anhalt Just Became A new Dad!!! ... Adopts Adult Man to Preserve Lineage
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, AKA the widower of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, needed a new heir to inherit his estate and preserve his royal lineage ... so he chose to adopt someone -- an adult!
That's right, 78-year-old von Anhalt has no children. So he'll be adopting 27-year-old Kevin Feucht.

Now, he will be passing that legacy on to Kevin, who is also German. Kevin's a graduate of UC Santa Barbara, and now owns a soccer training center. He says he's excited to build onto the legacy and make it even bigger.

Cheslie Kryst 'I Cringe' About Turning 30 ... Shared Concerns Year Before Suicide
Cheslie Kryst's openly worried about aging, and society's treatment of older women -- an essay the late Miss USA winner wrote last year has some loved ones wondering if those feelings contributed to her suicide.
In the March 2021 issue of Allure, Cheslie wrote ... "Each time I say 'I’m turning 30,' I cringe a little. Sometimes I can successfully mask this uncomfortable response with excitement; other times, my enthusiasm feels hollow, like bad acting."
Cheslie, who turned 30 in April 2021, was already concerned about what came along with aging process. She added, "Society has never been kind to those growing old, especially women."
As we reported, Cheslie -- who was Miss USA 2019 -- fell to her death Sunday morning, from her midtown NYC apartment building. She reportedly left a note saying she was leaving everything to her mother ... but the note had no explanation for the suicide.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Her final Instagram post, which she made within hours of her death, included the caption ... "May this day bring you rest and peace.”
In the essay, the accomplished attorney also shared some angst over chasing accomplishments. She wrote, "Why earn more achievements just to collect another win? Why pursue another plaque or medal or line item on my resume if it’s for vanity’s sake, rather than out of passion? Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to only find emptiness?"
Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and reading her words in the Allure essay could seem like a cry for help.
At just 30 years old, Cheslie was a practicing attorney, had won the Miss USA title and was an Emmy-nominated correspondent for Extra. She also poured a lot of time and effort into supporting social justice reforms -- but in Allure, it's clear she still wrestled with a feeling of emptiness ... despite her achievements.
As she wrote ... "Too often, I noticed that the only people impressed by an accomplishment were those who wanted it for themselves. Meanwhile, I was rewarded with a lonely craving for the next award. Some would see this hunger and label it “competitiveness”; others might call it the unquenchable thirst of insecurity."

Kanye West Diesel Bros Bought My $500k Tank!!!

Exclusive

Car sales go down every day, but how often can you say you bought a tank from Kanye West???
Kanye struck a deal with the Diesel Brothers to sell them his Ripsaw EV2, and this thing's insane!
Dave 'Heavy D' Sparks tells TMZ ... the partnership between Ye and the two friends (not real brothers, BTW) started a few years back. West's team reached out to them to get some work done on his trucks, but unfortunately, the timing never lined up.
Fast forward to last October, when someone from Kanye’s team reached out once again, looking to see if they’d want to buy the Ripsaw he was trying to unload. It was a no-brainer because the waiting list to get one is around 3 years, so they rushed down to his ranch in Wyoming to pick it up.
It was reported that Kanye bought it for $500,000. 'Heavy D' wouldn’t say how much change they handed over to seal the deal … but he did say Ye gave them a sweet deal. Kanye posed with the vehicle for a GQ photoshoot back in 2020, and featured it in his “Closed on Sunday” music video.
One odd thing -- the DVD player's built into the dash. Heavy D says for whatever reason, it only plays a K-Pop music video on a loop. We don’t know if Ye is a BTS fan, but they can’t figure out how to turn it off without ripping the player out entirely.
The Diesel Brothers made it big when their YouTube videos caught the attention of Jay Leno, who brought them on his show. Since then, they’ve started their own TV show on Discovery and even kicked it with the Paul brothers recently.
Looks like they can add “tank” to their arsenal.

"@bigsean do you get mistaken for me as often as I get mistaken for you?" she said.
"somebody about to get fired," she added.
Of course, Big Sean and Aiko didn't seem bothered by it ... they were spotted livin' it up in their on-field suite throughout the game, and the two appeared to even celebrate the Rams' win afterward.

Andy Cosferent I Wasn't Axed From 'Cheer 2' Monica and I Are Going on Tour!!!

Andy Cosferent – the assistant coach and star of Netflix's "Cheer" – noticeably disappeared in the middle of the second season ... causing viewers to wonder if the fan-favorite was axed from the show. Andy tells us ... that simply wasn't the case.
Andy says there were a few reasons why he vanished in the middle of the season ... one being that his main job kicked back up when things started opening after the pandemic began subsiding.
Andy explains he isn't just an assistant coach for the Corsicana, TX team ... he also works for a company that helps coordinate cheer camps, and when things opened back up, there was a huge demand for him to get back to work.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The other reason is he was secretly spearheading "Cheer Live" -- which will be a live cheer tour across the country involving cheerleaders from both Navarro and Trinity Community College. Andy says he's working with Monica Aldama behind the scenes to organize the tour, so any rumors about bad blood between the duo are just nonsense.
As far as if he thinks his presence on the show would have changed the outcome of the Daytona results in the finale ... his answer is very interesting.

Eddie George Hey, Cowboys ... I'd Swap McCarthy For Deion Sanders

Exclusive

Eddie George is backing Shaq ... telling TMZ Sports he likes The Big Diesel's idea of replacing Mike McCarthy with Deion Sanders in Dallas.
The former Cowboys running back spoke with us in L.A. about his old team's head coaching situation ... and he agrees with Shaq's hot take this week, saying he'd be into hiring Deion if he were Jerry Jones.
"I mean if I'm the owner and I look at it, I would say, 'Why not?'" George said. "I'd look at it seriously. Why wouldn't you?"
McCarthy is still under contract in Dallas, and Jones said Friday he will be back coaching the team next season.
But, as George noted in the clip, Mike hasn't found much success in his two seasons in Dallas ... failing to win a playoff game despite having a loaded roster in 2021.
"I mean," George said, "what else hasn't worked so far."
George -- who said Deion has given him advice when it comes to his own head coaching role at Tennessee State -- tells us he thinks the current Jackson State headman would be a "good fit" in the role.
"Prime has done an amazing job so far at Jackson State," George said. "He's a culture changer. He knows what he wants, he's been very successful in all levels. He's a winner."
Deion might have to get in line if he wants the gig, though ... there have been reports that the recently retired Sean Payton could replace McCarthy next season.
Yeah, talk about a hot seat in 2022 for Mike.
