The gloves were off as a fistfight nearly broke out between Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters General President, Sean O'Brien, on Capitol Hill Tuesday ... resulting in a stern scolding from Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Tensions erupted when ex-MMA fighter Mullin read out tweets by O'Brien following a previous heated congressional hearing, in which he was labeled a "clown and fraud," among various other insults.

With his damning gaze firmly on his opponent, Mullin warns of a "time and place to run his mouth" ... and as "two consenting adults," they could "finish it here."

The duo urges each other to "stand their butt up" to duke it out leaving an agitated Sanders to keep the peace and remind Mullin of his responsibilities as a United States senator.

"God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress," Sanders says, clearly pissed about the showdown that was about to unfold.

Unrelenting, Sen. Mullin -- an Oklahoma Republican -- goes on to taunt his rival for "going quiet" ... only for O'Brien to hit back by likening him to a 12-year-old for challenging him to a cage match. Ouch.

Looks like Kim Zolciak is trying to chip away at her and Kroy Biermann's mountain of debt ... 'cause she's unloading some of her designer wear online in hopes of making a profit.

Kim listed handbags, shoes and more Tuesday -- but it ain't garage sale prices -- she's charging $5,900 for a Chanel Shearling bag, and $4,500 for a grey Louis Vuitton purse!!!

She's also asking $1,250 for a pair of her Gucci mink heels and $600 for her Balmain plastic heels ... so if ya want it, you better bring some serious dough.

The impromptu sale might not just be proof she's working off that debt -- it could also be another sign that things between Kim and Kroy are positive yet again ... kinda like a peace offering to her estranged hubby amid their divorce.

As we reported, Kroy was selling off some of his stuff to tackle their financial woes in the past, and he asked Kim to do the same. However, we were told she sold off some of her things and pocketed the cash for herself instead of helping pay off the debt.

She's also recently changed her IG handle to include "Biermann" as her last name, and they were out to dinner over the weekend to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary ... an outing you likely wouldn't do with someone you're actively divorcing.

Hopefully, Kim's new sale can help get them outta the hole ... and it better -- because her swag ain't cheap!

The NFL is giving unlikely Vikings hero Josh Dobbs the same love it showed Taylor Swift last month ... putting the quarterback all over its social media pages!!

The Shield leaned heavily into Taylor's presence at Kansas City Chiefs games amid her budding romance with Travis Kelce ... temporarily changing its bio and imagery to have fun with the whole ordeal.

The "Cruel Summer" singer had real estate on the NFL's pages for a bit ... but now it's Dobbs' turn to get the spotlight after leading Minnesota to its second win in two weeks.

Of course, Dobbs was thrown into the Vikes vs. Falcons matchup after joining the team days prior and didn't even know his teammates' names or plays, but was still able to come out with the 31-28 win.

His magic continued on Sunday ... when he helped Minnesota outlast the Saints, 27-19.

Given his surprising success story, the league decided it was time to hand Dobbs his flowers ... adding him to its banner and saying, "in Dobbs we trust" in the bio.

Matt LeBlanc is paying tribute to his late "Friends" costar, Matthew Perry ... calling the time they shared together the best of his entire life.

The actor shared his emotional thoughts Tuesday, saying, "It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I'll never forget you. Never."

He continues, "Spread your wings and fly brother you're finally free. Much love." ... jokingly adding at the end, "I guess you're keeping the 20 bucks you owe me."

As we reported, Matt and Matthew's fellow "Friends" castmates -- Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer -- said goodbye to the actor at his funeral earlier this month.

The service looked incredibly solemn, following a week of the entire world in shock by Matthew's unexpected death.

We learned his casket was placed in a secluded area of Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills ... next to other actors like Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

Remember, Matthew was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions ... ones that likely won't be answered for several more weeks, at least.

YG's getting flooded with comments about a photo of what looks like a fun night at an in-house stripper party ... because some dude claims the dancer in the pic is his baby's mother!!!

The viral fuss is coming from a man named Andre Lowe, who's been campaigning for days to get YG to remove the post ... but hasn't had any luck yet.

YG was snapped making it rain dollar bills during the Halloween bash as the dancer flaunted her flexibility ... and a strong game of G-string peek-a-boo!!! The photo IS a lot, but we don't think Andre's actually losing any sleep over it.

The guy labels himself a rapper/social media entertainer who jokes all day long, so there's a good chance this whole thing is just a skit, or a bit of trolling -- either way, it's prompting some hilarious comments from people.

Andre says he's getting teased online by a bunch of hypocrites -- guys who have the same kinda girl problems as him, acting like he's a chump.

He barked back at the haters in a new video, scoffing at all the newfound "Suga Free" pimp experts.

Some people are imploring YG to cut Andre a break and delete the post -- but even more see it for what it most likely is ... a funny skit from a dude looking to exploit IG's algorithm.

Cops in England say they have placed a man in custody this week ... after they claim the guy had a connection to the death of ex-NHL player Adam Johnson.

According to South Yorkshire Police ... the man was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on Tuesday -- 17 days after Johnson tragically died from injuries he suffered when Matt Petgrave's skate slashed him in the neck during an Elite Ice Hockey League game.

In announcing the arrest, cops did not say if Petgrave was the man they had in custody.

"Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances," SYP detective chief superintendent Becs Horsfall said of the arrest in a statement.

"We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our enquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation."

Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers in England when the tragedy happened.

Video from the arena showed as Johnson was crossing the blueline, Petgrave kicked his skate into the air ... and clipped the former Pittsburgh Penguins center in the throat. Blood immediately poured onto the ice -- and while Johnson was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

Cops revealed Tuesday "a post-mortem examination confirmed he died as a result of a fatal neck injury."

"Adam's death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world," Horsfall said. "We know these communities will expect us to handle this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other and request that members of the public refrain from comment and speculation which could hinder this process. Our thoughts remain with all affected by this devastating incident as enquiries continue."

The Panthers, meanwhile, had initially called Johnson's death "a freak accident."

Neigh-sayers will say it ain't true ... but a jumbo jet really did make an emergency landing when a horse broke free from its cargo hold, 30,0000 feet in the air.

The Air Atlanta Icelandic 747 was bound for Belgium on November 9 when pilots were forced to divert back to NYC's JFK airport once they realized the horse was out of his pen, and loose in the cargo hold.

In the cockpit audio, obtained by "You Can See The ATC," you can hear the pilot telling air traffic control they've got a horse making a break for it. He said, "We are a cargo plane with a live animal, a horse, on board. The horse has broken out of its stall."

While flying wasn't an issue, they doubled down on the urgency to return to the Big Apple because they couldn't re-secure the horse while flying, so they'd have to head back -- which required dumping 20 tons of fuel to avoid losing horsepower.😄🐴

Once on stable ground, the pilots requested the aid of a veterinarian for their unsettled passenger. They described the horse as being "in difficulty," but didn't state the exact nature of the issue.

While death is almost always a time for grieving, sometimes it can be a time for celebration -- or even strutting your stuff on a runway -- as one model in New Jersey has now shown.

Designer Vernest Moore died October 22, and friends and family gathered last week in Newark for a "Red Carpet Viewing." The event came complete with a red carpet leading all the way to Vernest's open casket.

Moore's friend and model, Erica L. Carrington, certainly wanted to leave a lasting impression with Vernest ... giving it all on the carpet by posing, stopping for pics and working the runway.

The crowd certainly seemed to love it, cheering for Erica as she stopped to blow Vernest a kiss at his casket before posing one more time in front of it. Erica wrote, "I CAN’T BELIEVE this would be my final walk for you, so I WON’T. From now on…even if I’m not walking FOR YOU, I’ll be walking WITH YOU, because I know you’ll ALWAYS be with me."

While some people on social media were confused by Erica's walk ... many loved it, writing, "I pray that when it’s my time… all my creative friends like yourself arrive with this type of energy." Another said, "I love everything about this. Funerals are intended to be celebrations, and this was so creative and over the top."

Certainly one way to honor your pal.

Tom Brady is wasting no time getting acquainted with his new Fox Sports coworkers ... hitting up a Beverly Hills hotspot with Erin Andrews!!

Brady -- rocking a grey hoodie and jeans -- showed up at Funke restaurant with the famous sideline reporter and other Fox Sports colleagues around 10 PM Monday night ... and the group quickly entered the venue with security in tow.

We're told the future Hall of Famer and EA wanted to meet up to discuss Brady's upcoming color commentary gig with Fox Sports ... which officially starts in 2024.

Of course, Andrews has been with the network since 2012 ... leading the sideline for its main broadcast team and reporting for the biggest games on the schedule.

Brady's going into next season as a rookie after inking a 10-year deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

We're assuming Brady picked her brain throughout the dinner ... considering she's a seasoned vet at this point.

There's a chance the two may have also talked some Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ... considering the Kansas City Chiefs superstar credits EA with setting up the power couple.

Patrick Mahomes has played more than 100 NFL games ... and for every single one of 'em since his rookie season, the 2x Super Bowl champ has rocked the SAME lucky pair of underwear, which he only occasionally cleans!

28-year-old Mahomes made the admission while on Peyton and Eli's "Manningcast" show during Monday Night Football ... confirming a story told by Pat's former backup QB, Chad Henne, who blew the lid on the lucky red drawers.

"I love a good superstition, but couldn't you just do something like eat the same pregame meal? Did it have to be the red underwear?" Eli asked Patrick.

"First, my wife Brittany got them for me. So I'm not throwing y'all down, but I have to wear them," Mahomes responded, adding, "At the same time, I threw them on that first season, we had a pretty good season that season. I only wear 'em for game day though so they're not too worn down."

He's right ... the Chiefs were 12-4 in 2018, and Patrick was the league MVP at just 23 years old.

And since that first full season, the Chiefs went on to win 2 Super Bowls, and win a ton of games. So, they're not going anywhere.

Question, does Mahomes wash them?

Ehhh, sometimes.

"I wash 'em every once in a while at least," Mahomes said. "If we're on a hot streak I can't wash 'em. I gotta keep it rollin'."

Let's hope he was joking ... but probably not.

"As long as I'm winning football games, I'll keep the superstition going," Mahomes said.

Angela White -- formerly known as Blac Chyna -- and Rob Kardashian's daughter, Dream, got back-to-back birthday parties this past weekend -- and the one with her mom was a princess', well ... dream come true.

The bash went down Sunday at Famecast in Santa Monica, where Chyna -- who now goes by her real name -- went all out with a Disney theme ... namely, 'Princess and The Frog,' and Mama Bear didn't spare any expense to make it all very real.

For starters, there were real-life horses in the building -- including one that received a dye job to look like a freaking unicorn! Dream made sure to hop aboard and pose for cute pics.

Speaking of photos, just about everyone who was there -- a hodgepodge mix of a ton of Dream's friends and family members, plus her half-brother King Cairo -- snapped shots with the professional photog on hand ... and everybody seemed to be having a really good time.

Makes sense, considering everything else that was going on ... like the buffet of desserts, party bags for guests and even an appearance from Hip Hop Harry himself (from the children's show). Oh, and yes ... "Tiana" herself from the 'P&TF' flick showed face as well.

Royal Bus Divazz produced the entire event.

Like we said, this was actually the second shindig for Dream ... just a couple days earlier, her dad and aunts -- Kim and Khloe, specifically -- threw a party of their own for the bday girl ... and that one was just as extravagant, with a "spa day" theme running throughout.

Not that it's a competition or anything, but let's just say Angela gave the Kardashians a run for their money when it came to showing out for her little girl.

The Bills' struggles on the field have apparently frustrated Buffalo fans so much, they've now turned on each other -- getting into a violent fistfight at the game on Monday night.

The wild scrap happened at some point during Buffalo's loss to Denver at Highmark Stadium ... when several fans clearly became upset with a man in a Josh Allen jersey.

It's unknown what sparked the commotion ... but you can see in video shot by someone a few rows away from it all, fists started to fly just seconds after words were exchanged.

Check out the clip ... after the Allen fan got tagged in the face by a jab, he threw some haymakers -- which led to an all-out melee.

At one point, a man in a Thurman Thomas shirt jumped in to try and help out the Allen fan, which led to even more chaos.

Thankfully, it appeared cooler heads prevailed after just a few moments of fighting.

Kim Zolciak has restored her married name to her Instagram bio, serving as yet another piece of evidence her hot-and-cold marriage to Kroy Biermann is back on track amid their divorce. Yeah, we get it ... super confusing.

The former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star replaced her IG handle @kimzolciak with @kimzbiermann, which was the one she used before her latest breakup with Kroy back in August.

What's more, Kim and Kroy were seen out on a dinner date over the weekend to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary.

The two looked like a happy couple, chowing down on lasagna, chicken parm and chocolate desserts at an Italian restaurant in Georgia.

By looking at the IG video they posted of their special night together, you would never guess Kim and Kroy are in the middle of their 2nd divorce, but they are!!!

Here's how bad it got. The divorce judge literally divided their home in half so they didn't have to interact. Kroy got the primary bedroom and Kim was relegated to the basement. The police were regulars at the house to settle various marital disputes.

Yet, there seems to be mounting evidence that they're gonna once again call off their divorce and try to live happily ever after -- even with all of their constant blowout fights and financial troubles.

Whether that will happen is anyone's guess. But keep in mind, Kim and Kroy have already been down this road once before -- and both agreed to dismiss their first divorce petition in July.

Will the second time be a charm? Stay tuned.

Taylor Swift swapped out the PDA with Travis Kelce for a girly powwow with her good friend Gracie Abrams in the Big Apple on Monday night.

After a jam-packed, headline-grabbing tour stop in Argentina, Taylor was probably breaking down her weekend's events -- professional and romantic -- with her singer-songwriter pal as they laughed and chatted away.

Taylor, of course, looked chic for her outing in her oversized navy blazer atop a white dress, while Gracie kept things more casual.

The sighting comes after the "Karma" singer passionately locked lips with her NFL beau Saturday night after performing to a packed stadium of fans during her Buenos Aires stop.

The phrase "get a room" definitely came to mind when the pair made out backstage -- but the PDA was to be expected. Don't forget it came on the heels of the superstar changing the lyrics to "Karma."

The OG version -- "Karma is the guy on the screen/Coming straight home to me," was updated to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/Coming straight home to me." Clever 😉

The change of lyrics came as a very pleasant surprise for fans and Travis, who was seen looking stoked while vibing along to her music next to Taylor's dad.

Donna Kelce is givin' all her love and attention to Taylor Swift ... because Travis Kelce's mama was spotted watching the singer's "Eras" Tour film in theaters!

Swiftie Dannielle Sparks said in her TikTok it was her 4th time checking out the Taylor Swift concert movie -- a true fan -- but she spotted a familiar face while stepping out of a Florida movie theater.

Once the credits rolled, Dannielle says she bumped into Donna and was SHOCKED ... calling it one of the greatest moments of her freakin' life. The best part? She says no one even knew Donna was in the building during the screening.

After chatting it up with, according to Dannielle, the "sweetest human ever," she says she offered Donna a friendship bracelet, but she politely declined -- 'cause she's already got way too many!

As you know, Taylor and Travis were spotted smoochin' at her Argentina concert over the weekend ... and she changed the lyrics to her song, "Karma," just for the football star.

7:27 AM PT -- According to a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, Zay Jones was arrested after he allegedly got into an argument with the mother of his child that turned physical.

Cops say in the docs the incident took place at a Jacksonville-area condo/apartment at around 2:20 PM on Monday.

The report states a woman told officers on the scene she got into a tiff with Jones after she told the NFL player she was taking their child from Jacksonville back to Orlando.

Further details surrounding the alleged altercation involving the couple were redacted by cops ... though the report does state one officer "observed several small scratches" on the woman's neck "consistent with marks from a fingernail."

Jacksonville Jaguars star wide receiver Zay Jones was arrested in Florida this week for domestic violence ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to jail records, the 28-year-old was taken into custody on Monday in the Jacksonville area at around 6 PM ... and booked on a domestic battery causing bodily harm charge.

The records show he's currently still behind bars -- awaiting a court hearing on the matter later Tuesday.

Further details surrounding his arrest were not made immediately available ... though the Jaguars said in a statement late Monday night they are aware of the arrest and "are in the midst of gathering information."

"We will have no further comment at this time," the team added.

Jones has played in three games for Jacksonville this season ... and has been one of quarterback Trevor Lawrence's favorite targets while on the field, piling up eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He has, however, had to sit out of six of his team's games this year due to a knee injury.
