Giannis Antetokounmpo went nuts on the court Wednesday night, dropping a career-high 64 points -- and then he went ballistic because of it, losing his mind after the Pacers wouldn't give him the game ball from the evening.

The scene was wild ... the Bucks superstar thought he was entitled to the basketball due to his historic performance in the 140-126 victory in Wisconsin -- but Indiana players felt their rookie, Oscar Tshiebwe, should get it for scoring his first-ever NBA points.

Giannis was so incensed that the Pacers wouldn't hand it over -- he actually ran down one of the Fiserv Forum tunnels to insist that his opponents give it back.

A scuffle broke out while Giannis was screaming for the ball -- and Pacers coach Rick Carlisle told media members his team's general manager, Chad Buchanan, took a shot to the ribs from a Bucks player amid the chaos.

Giannis eventually ran out onto the floor to try to get someone to get him the ball -- screaming at anyone who would listen.

It's ultimately unclear who kept the memento -- Giannis was given a "game ball," though he seemed to question whether or not it was the real one after all the commotion died down.

"I have a ball, but I don't know if it's the game ball," Giannis told reporters. "It doesn't feel like the game ball to me. It feels like a brand-new ball. I can tell. I played, what, 35 minutes today. I know how the game ball felt. The ball that I have, which I'll take and I'll give it to my mom, for sure -- but I don't know if it's actually the game ball."

Memorabilia drama aside, Giannis' night was truly one NBA fans will have a tough time forgetting ... his 64 points broke Michael Redd's franchise record of 57. He added 14 rebounds, three assists, four steals and one block during the contest as well.

Nonetheless, Giannis clearly wishes he was ensured to have the real No. 1 keepsake from the evening.

Those who loved Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell the most just had a chance to say goodbye to the reality star ... paying respects at her Georgia funeral only days after she passed away.

Members of Anna's family -- including Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird -- showed up at the Williams Funeral Home in Gordon, GA Wednesday.

Mama June and Anna's 11-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn also attended the memorial. TMZ broke the story, Mama June is now in custody of Kaitlyn following her mom's death last week.

Anna's husband, Eldridge Toney, and June's husband Justin Stroud were also in attendance.

As we first reported, the production crew for "Mama June: From Not to Hot" was documenting Anna's cancer struggles, but decided against filming the funeral services. There was also a sign outside the venue prohibiting guests from using phones inside.

As you'll recall, Anna died on Saturday due to complications from her cancer battle ... she was suffering from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma, which doctors told her was terminal.

A 71-year-old security guard is suing the Los Angeles Rams ... claiming the NFL org.'s negligence led to him suffering "catastrophic" injuries during a violent fan brawl at SoFi Stadium last year.

The man -- ID'd in the lawsuit as Robert Leahey -- says the incident happened back on Dec. 8, 2022 during the Rams vs. Raiders "Thursday Night Football" game ... when he was hired by Contemporary Services Corporation to help assist people in large crowds and help "maintain an orderly atmosphere."

At around 6:30 PM inside the Inglewood stadium, however, Leahey says a "large fight broke out" between L.A. and Vegas supporters -- and he jumped in to try to keep the peace.

But, in the lawsuit, Leahey says as other guards arrived on scene -- they pushed him, causing him to fall down a set of concrete stairs.

Leahey claims he hit his head several times while crashing down the stairs -- and when he got up, he alleges someone involved in the fight threw a Modelo beer can that connected with his head ... 'causing him further injury.

Leahey says on Dec. 9, he went to a nearby hospital ... "where he was tested and diagnosed with severe and catastrophic brain injuries, including a subdural hematoma with brain bleeding."

In the suit, Leahey claims since the incident, he's had difficulty with his speech and his vision -- while also suffering from headaches. He claims he's been unable to work as well.

American actor Jordan Fry was 12 years old when he landed the role playing Mike Teavee -- the lazy/video game fanatic who is mean to his Dad -- in the fantasy/family film "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" back in 2005.

Jordan shared the chocolate greatness with Johnny Depp as the imaginative owner of Wonka Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka, Freddie Highmore as the generous and kind Golden Ticket winner, Charlie Bucket ...  and David Kelly as Charlie's supportive grandfather who accompanies him on the chocolate factory tour, Grandpa Joe.

In 2007, he voice acted as Lewis in "Meet The Robinsons."

Draymond Green is going to be away from the Golden State Warriors for a while ... the NBA hit him with an indefinite suspension after he smacked one of his opponents in the face.

The NBA says Draymond's "repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts" is playing into his indefinite suspension.

Draymond was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns ... when he got way too physical with Jusuf Nurkic, whacking him in the head with a hard right hand during a scrap in the third quarter. Draymond was hit with a flagrant foul 2 and booted from the game.

It's the second suspension for Draymond already this NBA season ... he was hit with a 5-game ban just last month after putting Minnesota Timberwolves star center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold.

The NBA says Draymond's suspension will begin immediately -- the Warriors play the Clippers Thursday night -- and "he will be required to meet certain league and team conditions" before being reinstated.

Draymond is expected to meet Thursday with Warriors brass and his agent Rich Paul to discuss counseling ... according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Martin Lawrence made Christmas wishes come true for a group of underprivileged kids in Los Angeles ... bringing presents and taking them for a fun day at the go-kart track.

The actor/comedian played Santa Claus for 125 kids Wednesday, taking them to K1 Speed indoor go-karts in Burbank ... where they were joined by some celebrity guests.

Martin's annual charity event, benefitting underprivileged youth and kids in the foster system, also drew Jo Koy, Kid Cudi, Polo G, rapper Chip Tha Ripper, MC Lyte, King Bach, Affion Crockett, former NFL stud Willie McGinest and comic Benji Brown.

In addition to go-kart racing and getting presents from their Christmas lists, the kids got to play arcade games and they chowed down on Raising Cane's chicken fingers and Randy's Donuts.

TMZ obtained video and photos from the event, and it looks like everyone was in the Christmas spirit.

Camden Toy, known for his work on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has died.

The actor passed away Monday following a 2-year battle with pancreatic cancer ... according to his Facebook page, which has been flooded with an outpouring of fans, friends and family honoring the late actor.

Camden's partner, Bea Henderson, said he was diagnosed in February last year "after months of mysterious pain." She added, "His condition has declined a lot in the last 2 months and tremendously in the last several days," noting he was unable to communicate toward the end.

She says Camden decided "for many reasons" to keep his illness a secret ... and admits she's sorry for the big shock that's now coming to fans.

Actor Doug Jones, who worked alongside Camden on 'Buffy,' wrote, "So many memories including working together, decades of laughing, sharing mutual friends, get togethers, travel, conventions, and huggles with each other and our fans."

Apart from playing one of the Gentlemen in the vampire-slaying series, Camden appeared in various projects like "Angel," "The Bay," "Average Joe," "Shameless," and "The Mentalist."

He was 68.

Tiffany Haddish has been charged in her latest DUI arrest ... after she got busted for drinking and driving following a night out in Beverly Hills last month.

The actress' case was under review by the L.A. District Attorney's Office and they've decided to charge her with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a .08% BAC.

TMZ broke the story ... the actress was found slumped at the wheel in Beverly Hills -- blocking the road with her car.

She was booked for DUI and improper stopping on a roadway -- but less than 24 hours later, was back onstage performing down in Long Beach -- not resisting a quick quip about her arrest.

However, Tiffany quickly changed her tune ... getting serious about the arrest -- especially as she already has a DUI case in Georgia stemming from Jan 2022.

In fact, in light of her Cali arrest, Georgia prosecutors are pushing for stricter restrictions on her -- wanting to modify the bond conditions from her open DUI case there to restrict her from using booze and drugs completely.

BTW ... if Tiffany is convicted of both offenses, both California and Georgia have laws that require jail time for a second offense -- in CA, the minimum is 4 days, in GA it's 3 days.

Tiffany's since told ET she needs to "get help" to "learn balance and boundaries" -- adding, "this will never happen again."

Oprah Winfrey is overcoming decades of shame attached to her body, and she's admitting taking weight-loss medication ... even though she previously said she'd never do that to slim down.

After shedding 40 lbs this year, the billionaire TV mogul is done with cruel and insensitive conversations about her appearance -- gushing that pharmaceutical assistance has changed her relationship with her figure.

Oprah tells PEOPLE a doctor prescribed the meds to her following her "Life You Want" series' "The State Of Weight" taping back in July, where she realized she wasn't to blame for being overweight ... noting it was more about the brain than willpower.

With a new mindset, Oprah says weight-loss meds are a healthier alternative for her rather than yo-yo-ing, and she takes the medically-approved drug as, and when, needed.

Case in point, she took them just before Thanksgiving cause she knew she had "two weeks of solid eating" ... and, as a result, says she only gained half a pound rather than eight.

This comes in stark contrast to Oprah labeling weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro an "easy way out" earlier this year during a chat with WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani.

The Super Bowl is going going, back back, to Cali Cali -- the NFL announced Thursday the Big Game will be held in Los Angeles in 2027 ... after a unanimous owners' vote.

This will be the second time SoFi Stadium hosts the NFL's title game in a five-year span ... and the ninth Super Bowl overall for the city.

Most recently, Super Bowl LVI was held at SoFi when the hometown Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals.

"We are very excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Los Angeles for the second time in five years," NFL commish Roger Goodell said in a statement. "The city did an outstanding job hosting Super Bowl 56 in the incredible SoFi Stadium and we believe that Super Bowl 61 will be even more memorable."

"The Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Host Committee and many other outstanding partners will help create an unforgettable week of events culminating in Super Bowl Sunday in 2027 that will celebrate the region as an epicenter of sports, entertainment and culture."

Super Bowl LXI (gotta brush up on your Roman numerals) will follow LX ... which is going down at Levi's Stadium in 2026.

Of course, Las Vegas is hosting this season ... with New Orleans following in 2025.

It's National Horse Day, y'all ... so pony up to shots of celebs givin' some love to these gorgeous equines!!!

Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner were cheesin' for the camera next to their four-legged friends, and Alicia Keys snapped a pic while riding horseback in the water -- a big bucket list adventure for some people.

Selma Blair got up close and personal with a horse ... one that seemed a bit more interested in getting some food than posing for the photo!

LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne didn't go for the pommel horse -- that's more of a men's gymnastics thing -- but she did take some photos on top of a real horse that's rockin' a beautiful white mane!

Jonathan Majors' now-infamous Coretta Scott King/Michelle Obama rant -- which was described in court -- can be heard for the first time in audio, and it's ... interesting.

Audio of Majors berating his ex-girlfriend/accuser Grace Jabbari about how she needed to be more like King and Obama in their own relationship has been released in the massive evidence dump that came out Wednesday ... and like we said, this is one for the ages.

We already knew the general context of what Majors had yelled at Jabbari during this old incident -- which was allowed in as evidence from the prosecution -- but hearing it is something else altogether ... because it can be digested in full, tone included.

We'll let you take a listen, but from what we can make out ... Majors is angry at Jabbari for having gone out with her friends/partying -- something he seems to think can potentially make him look bad considering his high-profile image and his status as an A-list star.

He tells her that she needs to take into account that they're a "unit" ... and think about how Coretta and Michelle stood/stand by their men and how they carried themselves.

Another notable line that Majors drops here ... that he's a "great man," which he repeats.

Jabbari can be heard sniffling during the lecture, and she apologizes throughout as well. Of course, she was also apparently secretly recording Majors.

The revelation of this argument certainly didn't do Majors any favors last week, but now that it's out there in the public for all to hear ... hard to say if it helps or hurts him, big picture.

Simone Biles wants everyone to pump the brakes on all the pregnancy talk ... assuring her fans she is not expecting a baby anytime soon after a recent Instagram post was met with speculation.

Biles' fans started to wonder after the gymnastics G.O.A.T. posted a photo of herself at the Packers vs. Giants game on Monday ... where she watched her husband, Green Bay safety Jonathan Owens, do his thing.

Some followers felt like the picture gave some sort of hint she was carrying a bun in the oven ... with one saying, "Picture is sending baby vibes."

Another fan commented, "Is she expecting?? I'm so happy for them!!❤️❤️❤️"

However, Biles -- who got married to Owens this April -- had to put a stop to all the chatter ... and cleared the air on her profile Wednesday morning.

"I hate that I even have to address this, but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being 'pregnant,'" Biles said on Wednesday.

"I'm not pregnant."

When they got engaged last year, however, Biles did mention during a Q&A that Owens -- who signed a 1-year deal with the Packers in May -- wants a "football team" of kids in the future ... and she only wants two.

Megan Thee Stallion is riled up after seeing her ex-boyfriend Pardison Fontaine spill his version of their toxic breakup ... which she says is all a fabricated fairy tale!!!

Meg set it off Wednesday morning on IG Live, where she doubled down on her "Cobra" claims that Pardi cheated on her. She claims he caught him getting oral sex in their home, and says he only attempted to switch the narrative to fit his own diss song.

The "Savage" rapper then directed her anger at her ex-friend Kelsey Harris and Tory Lanez in light of social media spreading a purported statement from Tory's bodyguard on the night Meg was shot in June 2020.

Megan reiterated that Kelsey didn't shoot her and laid into her former BFF for going mum ... figuring she was either paid off or in fear for her life.

Megan went on to remind everyone who she says DID do it ... namely, Tory Lanez, who's sitting in prison. In his purported statement, the bodyguard stated he didn't see who shot Megan, which doesn't change the verdict upheld in court.

She also ripped social media "lawyers" for getting their facts wrong ... she says the case was won in court, but uneducated fans care about online opinions more.

Pardi's repeatedly said he's trying to move past the situation, and Megan says she's been doing the same ... going hard in the gym but now loathes coming onto social media because it sucks out her joy.

2:54 PM PT -- Luke Combs just unveiled his own tumbler, going for $20 a piece on his website ... and as promised, all proceeds will go to Nicol Harness and her family.

Luke Combs is shooting down his own $250,000 lawsuit against a Florida woman who was selling $20 tumblers with his likeness -- he says he didn't know about it, and is now taking steps to help her financially.

The country music star says he was unaware his team was going after the woman in court, and, in a video he posted Wednesday morning, he says it made him sick to his stomach when he woke up to headlines about her plight.

The lawsuit was filed in an Illinois federal court, and it roped in Nicol Harness, who says she was selling $20 Luke Combs tumblers on Amazon ... and only making $380 total. She says she didn't know she was being sued until her Amazon account froze and she learned a judge ordered her to pay $250K.

Luke says he got in touch with the woman and she told him she could not access $5,500 in her Amazon account ... and he's promising to send her double that amount, which is $11K.

What's more, Luke says he's going to start selling his own tumbler and give the proceeds to Nicol ... because she suffers from congestive heart failure and has tons of medical bills.

Luke says he pays a company to go after large-scale counterfeiters of his merchandise ... and he's not sure how Nicol's tiny operation got swept up in the lawsuit.

Nicol says she started selling the tumblers this year after going to a Luke Combs concert ... and he says he's inviting her to an upcoming show so he can also apologize in person.

The lawsuit is still playing out in court, but Luke makes it seem like she won't have to fork over $250K when the dust settles.
