A police officer was blunt with Vontae Davis during his DUI arrest on Saturday ... telling the ex-NFL star straight up, "You almost killed somebody."

The stern chat with Davis was captured on Florida Highway Patrol dash cam footage, obtained by TMZ Sports, after officers said the two-time pro bowler had crashed his Tesla into another car during a wreck on a highway at around 7:50 AM.

In the video, you can see Davis appeared to be dozing in and out of consciousness as officers attempt to question him about the leadup to the accident.

They asked him where he had been, if he had been drinking, if he was injured, and if he'd submit to field sobriety tests. Davis answered some of the questions -- others not so much. He seemed to be slurring some of his words during his replies.

At one point, the video shows he told a cop he had been to a club and had consumed two "mixed drinks" prior to getting behind the wheel. He said he left the venue at around 2 AM, and had no recollection of a car crash.

Officers eventually told him he was under arrest -- and when Davis asked why, one of the cops didn't mince words.

"Your eyes are bloodshot," he said. "Your speech is slurred. You can barely stay awake. All right? You almost killed somebody."

When Davis said he "didn't almost kill nobody" -- the officer responded, "Yeah, man. They were in a truck on the side of the road. You took them completely out. And there was a father and son there on the shoulder."

Davis, who played 10 seasons in the NFL with the Colts, Dolphins, and Bills, was ultimately arrested and booked for DUI.

A driver behind the wheel of a Tesla was fast asleep as the car traveled along a busy California freeway ... at least that's the way it looks in footage shot from another car.

You gotta see the video ... the Tesla driver is motionless as the electric vehicle zooms down Interstate 15 near Temecula, CA ... and it looks like they're sleeping, because they're wearing sunglasses and their head is tilted back and their mouth is open.

The folks who shot the video are convinced the Tesla driver is out like a light ... they say the Tesla zoomed past them Thursday when they noticed the driver was "knocked out," remarking how dangerous the situation appears.

The concerned commuters reportedly followed the Tesla for 15 minutes, honking their horn to try and wake the driver before calling police, who never caught up with the vehicle.

California Highway Patrol says there were no reported accidents involving a white Tesla in the area at the time the video was shot ... but the footage is still pretty scary.

LeBron James admits he's "disappointed" the Lakers didn't reunite him with his old teammate Kyrie Irving ... saying Monday he thought a trade for the point guard could have given him the chance to win multiple championships in L.A.

LBJ sat down for an interview with ESPN's Michael Wilbon ... and when the topic of Kyrie came up, it wasn't hard to see the King was heartbroken the Lakers got beat out by the Mavericks in a swap for the Nets superstar.

"Definitely disappointed," James said. "I can't sit here and say I'm not disappointed."

James called Irving someone he knows he has great chemistry with -- and someone who "can help you win championships."

The 38-year-old, though, said he's already getting over it ... telling Wilbon, "My focus has shifted back to where it should be, and that's this club now and what we have in the locker room."

As we previously reported, Irving was sent to Dallas on Sunday after he requested a trade last week. As part of the swap, Dallas sent over Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round pick and a handful of second-rounders.

L.A. reportedly tried hard to get into the mix for Irving -- as did the Heat, Suns and Clippers.

James and Irving previously had success in Cleveland, when they went to four consecutive NBA Finals. They won a title in 2016 after overcoming a 3-1 deficit against the Warriors.

After news broke that Irving was on the move from Brooklyn to Dallas, James sent out an eyebrow-raising tweet that said, "Maybe it's me."

It's unclear who or what James was referring to, though the timing was interesting. But, either way, the four-time time NBA champion says he's moving past the disappointment of it all.

Eminem's little girl -- who has been the focus of many of his songs over the years -- is all grown up ... and prepping to walk down the aisle.

27-year-old Hailie Jade announced Monday that her boyfriend, Evan McClintock, popped the question ... and she said yes. She threw up a little slide show capturing the sweet moment -- which looked to be coupled with some champagne and snazzy winter wear.

Of course, she also showed off the rock on that finger ... and it's a beaut. Her caption ... "casual weekend recap," adding "i love you" while tagging Evan and tossing in emojis.

Not much is known about the guy or his relationship with Hailie -- she keeps her life private, despite her famous dad. All we know is they've been dating for years -- since at least 2016, it seems, when she first posted photos with him -- and that Em seems to be cool with him.

Slim acknowledged in a podcast appearance earlier this year that his kiddo was on a good path in life -- having graduated college with a steady BF in tow -- so, it sounds like Papa approves.

As we mentioned, Em has name-dropped Hailie many, many times in his raps ... dating back to his heyday in the 2000s. He's made clear time and again that he's very protective and that he'd do anything for his daughter ... even some shady stuff, if that's what it takes.

There's clearly still serious bad blood between Migos' rappers Quavo and Offset following the death of Takeoff ... and those emotions boiled over backstage at the Grammys into a physical fight.

Sources at the show tell us just before Quavo took the stage to perform his song "Without You" as a tribute to Takeoff during the "In Memoriam" segment of the show, he and Offset got into a physical fight and had to be pulled apart.

As for what led to it -- we're told The Grammys had asked Offset to be a part of the tribute, but Quavo refused to let him take part. We're told Quavo blocked Offset from joining him on stage ... leading to the melee.

Our Offset sources say it was Quavo who started the fight.

We should note -- Quavo and Takeoff were extremely close at the time of Takeoff's murder -- Offset was still hanging out with Takeoff separately, but the trio wasn't hanging out as a unit. Quavo's "Without You" was a song he specifically wrote for Takeoff.

Tom Brady not only won't be working the Super Bowl for FOX on February 12, but he won't be behind a mic next season, either ... the G.O.A.T. said Monday he's not beginning his broadcasting career until 2024.

The former Buccaneers signal-caller revealed his plan is to take all of 2023 off during a chat with Colin Cowherd on "The Herd" -- saying he won't begin calling games for FOX until the fall of '24.

Brady said he's looking to use the downtime to get good at the gig before officially stepping into the booth full-time.

"One thing about my career, whether that was when I was drafted by the Patriots or signed in free agency with the Bucs, I wanted to be fully committed," Brady explained. "I never wanted to let people down -- I think my biggest motivator was that."

"So, even in the future I want to be great at what I do and that always takes some time and strategizing and learning and growing and evolving."

Brady said in addition to leaning on others in the broadcasting world -- he's also going to be spending '23 "catching up on other parts of my life that need some time and energy."

The future Hall of Famer initially inked a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox in May 2022 ... with the expectation that he'd begin calling games once his football career wrapped.

Clearly, though, Brady is looking for a break from everything for the next 18 or so months ... and he said Monday FOX officials were cool with it all.

In the meantime, former NFL star Greg Olsen will continue to be FOX's lead color commentator. He's slated to call the Eagles vs. Chiefs game on Sunday with play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt.

The Grammys' hip hop tribute to celebrate the culture's 50th anniversary stole the show -- and even had some legends nodding their heads and rapping along while waiting in the wings backstage.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained this video of LL Cool J rappin' out to Too Short's "Blow The Whistle" and The LOX's "We Gon Make It" in between takes of his own "I Can't Live Without My Radio."

Busta Rhymes, Spliff Star, Run-DMC and Flavor Flav all performed their own classic tunes too, and also couldn't contain their excitement while waiting to get onstage for the grand finale ... where ALL of the artists came out at the same time.

This coming August will mark 50 years since DJ Kool Herc birthed hip hop with a party in the Bronx, and the Grammys put the anniversary spotlight on a ton of famous faces -- Black Thought of the Roots, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Salt-N-Pepa, Rakim, Chuck D and Flav for Public Enemy, Posdonous for De La Soul, Scarface, Ice-T, Queen Latifah, Method Man for Wu-Tang Clan, Big Boi for Outkast, Missy Elliott, Nelly, DJ Drama, Lil Baby, GloRilla and Lil Uzi Vert (with his new Philly Eagles anthem) all contributed to the performance!!!

Harry Styles winning over Beyoncé didn't sit well for many online, and one guy in the building wasn't pleased either -- screaming in indignation ... and outing himself as the yeller.

You might've noticed somebody briefly interrupted HS's acceptance speech Sunday after he won Album of the Year for 'Harry's House' -- an honor many felt should've gone to Queen Bey for her smash hit, 'Renaissance' ... and who made their opinion heard on Twitter.

However, the outrage clearly made its way into Crypto.com Arena ... with one dude shouting "BEYONCEEEEE" while Harry was giving his thanks at the end of the show.

At first, it wasn't clear who had screamed it or from where ... but now, the fella has ID'd himself -- posting a video from the nosebleeds, where he was sitting, which shows the moment he made his protest. Turns out, the Beyoncé superfan's a journalist from Philly.

His name's Ernest Owens, and he writes for Philadelphia Magazine -- it also sounds like he's won an award or two ... plus, the guy's verified on the bird app. So, not just a total nobody.

Clearly, Owens wasn't happy with who the biggest award of the night went to ... and he continued to express his outrage after posting his scream video -- throwing up another clip that shows people filing out of the building during the final performance (post-Harry win).

He also wrote this, "Off to the #GRAMMYs after-party I go. Industry is completely speechless. If TV award shows die after this, I wouldn't be surprised. They exploit diverse talent for ratings only for them to play these games."

Owens added, "It's been over 20 years since a Black woman won Album of the Year."

It's interesting ... you could argue this is in the same ballpark as Kanye West taking the microphone away from Taylor Swift during the 2009 VMAs and sticking up for Beyoncé in passionate terms -- albeit, from a distance and perhaps without so much theatrics.

There's also a lot of noise about the fact that Harry said this type of thing doesn't usually happen to "people like me" -- with the Internet collectively scratching their heads.

Many would say it actually does happen quite often -- namely, a white person getting a big award over the People's true choice, who may or may not be Black ... and, in this case, was.

Tom Brady clearly ain't letting himself go in retirement ... the former quarterback just shared a selfie in nothing but his undies -- and he looks GOOOOOOOD!!!!

TB12 posted the pic early Monday morning on his Twitter page ... paying off a bet he made with his clothing company way back in June.

At the time, he said he'd recreate models wearing his Brady brand underwear if the tweet got 40,000 likes. When the co. reminded him of it all Monday, he paid it off in a big way ... and we're all grateful for it.

Tom showed off some biceps, some pecs, and a set of abs -- all while his hand was conveniently placed to cover up his junk.

He mentioned Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski while revealing the pic -- asking the two, who have posed often in their undies for various brands in their lifetimes, if he was doing it right.

Of course, Tom's bod shouldn't exactly surprise anybody -- while he's a retired man now, it's only been a couple weeks since he left football.

Hollywood was in the mood to party after the 65th Grammy Awards -- and that's exactly what they did ... going out in spades and flooding the streets of L.A. with their boogie shoes.

Several shindigs were being held all across town following the award show in downtown, with celebs kinda splitting their allegiances between Universal Music Group -- which was hosting its own bash -- and another blowout attended by just about everybody in hip-hop.

Let's start with the latter ... over at the Grammy Museum party in Bev Hills, which was hosted by Larry Jackson, Swizz Beatz and Richie Akiva, we saw Busta Rhymes, Madonna, French Montana, Lil Wayne, Amber Rose, Lil Kim, Nelly, Teyana Taylor, Rick Ross, Dave East, Evan Ross, Rita Ora and more rubbing shoulders.

At the UMG party, it was more of a mixed bag in terms of genre. LL Cool J was there, as was Nick Jonas, Shania Twain, Paris Jackson, Olivia Rodrigo, Kim Petras, Stevie Wonder and Samara Joy.

Elsewhere ... Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes, Diplo and others attended a private house party -- meanwhile, at Wally's in Bev Hills, you could find LeBron James, Rich Paul and Adele.

Last but not least ... a ritzy get-together at the Chateau Marmont -- hosted by none other than Taylor Swift -- had its own famous crowd partying up ... with Camila Cabello, Laura Dern, Lana Del Rey, Casey Affleck and other stars swinging by for a good time.

Sunday capped off an entire weekend full of ragers like these ones, proving that the Grammys are probably the biggest award show in town -- seeing how it tends to draw talent across the entertainment biz, not just music.

BTW, it's somewhat strange ... the big winners of the night -- Lizzo, Beyonce and Harry Styles -- were nowhere to be found at any of these gatherings ... at least from what we can see. Guess they were all burnt out from hitting the stage so often throughout the night. 🤷🏽‍♂️

In any case, it seems a blast was had all by all. And, another Grammy is in the books.

Chris Brown proved he was nothing but a sore loser after his Grammys defeat Sunday night.

The artist was nominated for Best R&B Album for "Breezy (Deluxe)" alongside Mary J. Blige, Robert Glasper, Lucky Daye and PJ Morton.

When Glasper was announced as the winner for his album "Black Radio III," CB took to Instagram to ridicule the now five-time Grammy-winning pianist, songwriter and record producer.

Chris posted a Google screenshot of Glasper and wrote, “BRO WHO THE F–K IS THIS?”

CB's vitriol didn't stop there...he posed the question again in another IG post...“YALL PLAYING  WHO DA F–K IS THIS?”

And, CB did it a third time ...“WHO THE F*CK IS ROBERT GLASPER.”
He then mockingly told his fans that he’s “gotta get [his] skills up” and “start playing the harmonica."

CB ended his tantrum by displaying a photo of himself playing the harmonica with the caption ... “NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED!” and “HARMONICA BREEZY.”
Twitter users were quick to pounce on CB.

One person bluntly wrote, "What a loser." Another said, "Nobody wanted him to win anyways."

A third person called out his domestic abuse history, saying, "Abusers losing will always make me laugh."

Beyoncé just hit a new milestone in her career ... she's now the single most-winning artist in Grammys history, knocking off a longstanding record that's been around since 1998.

The singer won her 32nd Grammy Award relatively early Sunday night -- taking home the honor for Best Dance/Electronic Album to set her over the top. She can easily win more, as there are still more awards to win -- and she's up for some of the biggest categories that have yet to be announced -- including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

She won best R&B song earlier in the night for "Cuff It" for Grammy 31.

Before the broadcast even started, she picked up her 29th and 30th wins in Best Dance/Electronic Recording and Best Traditional R&B Performance for two songs from 'Renaissance,' respectively. That put her just a win away from tying conductor Georg Solti.

Solti was the top dog at 31 Grammys total prior to Sunday. He'd been steadily racking up statuettes since the '60s with his opera albums/recordings -- and seemed to be a lock in those categories for decades. He won his final record Grammy at the 40th Grammy Awards.

While Bey may have just knocked Georg off the list for most wins, she had already secured her place as the most nominated artist ever -- sharing that mantle with her hubby, Jay-Z, at 88. Paul McCartney is below them at 81 nominations and Quincy Jones clocks in at 80.

Hard to say if anyone will ever really get close to what Beyoncé's achieved here -- there are certainly other heavy hitters who have a tendency to rack up awards ... but none seem to be able to touch the longevity of success she's had firmly in her grasp for nearly 30 years now.

The Instagram model who had one of her 38J breast implants pop is having her mental health questioned online ... but she says she's not ill and views plastic surgery as a hobby.

The Canadian model, who goes by Mary Magdalene on social media, tells us she started getting plastic surgeries at 18 and after 12 years and a ton of procedures, she says she started feeling like her plastic transformation was her own way of being an adrenaline junkie.

Mary says she's just like anyone who gets super into extreme sports ... but instead of climbing bigger mountains or jumping from higher heights, she went bigger and bigger with her injections ... from her lips, to her butt and, of course, her boobs.

As we reported ... Mary says she's going to change to a more "natural" look after one of her 11-pound boob implants popped, leaving her with a uni-boob and a bunch of tattooed skin.

Mary says her out-of-this-world surgeries brought her happiness over the years, but adds her feelings have changed and now she's going to change her appearance. In fact, she says if her implant didn't pop, she would have gone even bigger with her next procedure and doubled her already massive 38J cup size.

The IG model says she's going to do her next breast procedure in Brussels, and she's going under the knife twice for a breast reduction that will set her back nearly $33,000 ... and bring her breast implants down from 5,000 cc to 700cc.

Mary says she had a spiritual awakening after the incident, with her come-to-Jesus moment aided in part by some mind-altering substances ... and she wants to move away from what she sees as her current "bimbo" look.

Aaron Carter didn't get a mention during The Grammy's always-anticipated "In Memoriam" segment ... sending his fans into a rage.

The emotional tribute to artists, composers and music execs featured performances from Sheryl Crowe, Kacey Musgraves and Quavo -- who played his song dedicated to Takeoff -- and had the entire audience silent.

As for the stars honored -- Loretta Lynn, David Crosby, Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie, Bobby Rydell, Naomi Judd, Lisa Marie Presley and Olivia Newton-John.

One name shockingly left out -- Aaron Carter.

Aaron never won and was never nominated for a Grammy, but he certainly left his mark on Pop Music. His "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" hit #35 on the Billboard Top 100 chart and "That's How I Beat Shaq" hit #98.

Aaron's fans are letting The Academy have it on social media, writing, "Shame on the grammys 2023!" "Grammys is always picking and choosing smh." Another wrote, "Yeah I’m so upset right now about this!!!! Like why was Aaron not included!!!"

TMZ broke the story, Aaron was found dead in his bathtub back in November ... the L.A. County Coroner's Office is still waiting on results from the singer's toxicology report to determine and official cause of death.

Dee Dee Ramone fans with a passion for the singer's life and some seriously deep pockets will now have a shot at owning some of his most personal items.

Ramone's ex-wife, Vera Boldis, is teaming up with Moments In Time auctions to sell a bundle of Dee Dee's belongings for a hefty $1.5 million. Boldis has held onto the collection from the original member of The Ramones for more than 40 years.

If someone is willing to shell out the $1.5M, they'll get close to 1,000 items ... including everything from lyrics and clothing, down to his love letters and his wedding album.

As for some specifics, there's a super fancy gold and diamond 'KING' necklace, ties, as well as a signed copy of the group's 5th studio album "End of the Century," which was originally released in 1980.

Dee Dee died back in 2002, and Tommy Ramone, the last surviving member of the group, died in 2014.

"Pez Outlaw," Steve Glew is thrilled his incredible story is hitting the mainstream thanks to a new Netflix documentary ... but he's got his eyes on bigger things, and already has a big-name celeb he wants to see play him on TV.

Steve tells TMZ ... he's been waiting 25 years for his story to be made into a documentary, and he's in preliminary talks to create a narrative TV show about his life ... and he wants to cast Jack Black as himself.

Netflix is getting rave reviews for Bryan & Amy Storkel's doc on Steve, "The Pez Outlaw," the story of how he made a ton of money selling rare Pez dispensers back in the day.

While Steve doesn't want to jeopardize his potential TV series deal ... our sources tell us Steve's in talks with CBS Studios and Andy Samberg's production company, Party Over Here.

Steve tells us why Jack would be the perfect actor to play him ... explaining he's the right guy to capture all of Steve's idiosyncrasies and bring him to life.

The Pez story is pretty wild ... Steve went to Europe in the '90s and smuggled back tons of rare Pez dispensers to sell to American collectors ... with some folks shelling out as much as $11,000 for a single dispenser.

Steve says he thinks the Netflix doc will inspire more folks to get into collecting Pez ... and he tells us why he warned current collectors to buy whatever they have their eyes on ASAP, before the documentary came out.
