Dwyane Wade & Gabrielle Union Welcome Baby Girl After Secret Surrogacy
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union just had their first kid together -- a brand new baby girl -- after using a surrogate, the couple just revealed.
"We are sleepless and delirious but so excited to share that, our miracle baby, arrived last night (11/7) via surrogate," the NBA star announced.
"Welcome to the party sweet girl!"
The couple had been trying to have a kid for years but Union has struggled with infertility, a battle she's talked about publicly.
In fact, 46-year-old Union has said she suffered 8 or 9 miscarriages.
She even addressed the topic in her book, 'We're Going to Need More Wine' -- saying, "For 3 years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant."
But the good news ... they found a surrogate who carried the child for them -- and now they've got the baby they've been dreaming about!
Dwyane has 3 kids from other relationships but this is his first child with Gabrielle.

Tamera Mowry Niece Killed in Thousand Oaks Bar Shooting
11:50 AM PT -- Tamera just revealed her niece Alaina was one of the victims in the attack ... saying, "Our hearts are broken. We just learned that our Alaina was one of the victims of last night's shooting at Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks."
She continues, "Alaina was an incredible young woman with so much life ahead of her and we are devastated that her life was cut short in this manner."
Tamera Mowry is desperately searching for her niece who was at the college bar where a gunman opened fire and brutally killed 12 people.
Tamera's niece, Alaina Housley, was one of just a handful of girls who went line dancing Wednesday night at Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks ... this according to a tweet sent by Alaina's friend who added Alaina was the only girl unaccounted for among her friends.
My suitemate is still missing, she is wearing denim shorts, a blue flannel and sneakers, pls let me know if you know anything #Borderline pic.twitter.com/t1nUHneChW
@amowreader
Tamera responded to the tweet saying, "Ashley this is her aunt Tamera Mowry Housley. Can you please DM me your information?" The exchange is pretty heartbreaking ... Ashley replied saying she's been in contact with Alaina's uncle and so far there's nothing new to report.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Tamera's husband, Adam, went looking for Alaina at a local hospital but a reporter tweeted guards wouldn't let him in because the hospital was on lockdown. Making matters worse ... Alaina's Apple Watch and iPhone still showed her location at the bar, this according to the L.A. Times.
Adam told the newspaper, "My gut is saying she's inside the bar, dead. I'm hoping I'm wrong."

Tyson Fury Busting His Ass for Deontay Wilder Fight ... at Bougie L.A. Gym
No days off for Tyson Fury -- the boxer took over a section at one of the bougiest gyms in L.A. to drill down on his footwork ... right next to a buncha normies!
With just 23 days until his massive fight with Deontay Wilder, the Gypsy King hit up Equinox in L.A. -- a private gym where some of the richest people in town get a workout.
So, while regular, non-global boxing superstars were trying to knock out some pull-ups and elliptical work (good job, btw) ... Fury's trainers were cracking the whip to get him ready for Dec. 1.
What's more impressive ... this is Fury's 3rd fight since his life went into a drug and booze-fueled tailspin a few years ago. The comeback story is truly inspiring.
Tyson opened up about his struggles on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast recently saying things got so bad, he blew up to 400 pounds and thought about quitting boxing forever.
But, Fury got his life together now -- he's quit the vices, lost the weight and won his last 2 comeback fights.
Now, he's getting his body ready for Deontay Wilder -- one of the most violent men in combat sports -- and Tyson says he's been laser-focused on getting the W.

Floyd Mayweather Commits to Watching Lakers After Bailing on Japan Fight
Hours after bailing on his New Year's Eve fight in Japan, Floyd Mayweather didn't go into hiding ... he went to the Lakers game!
Earlier in the day, Mayweather put out a bizarre statement saying he was duped into participating in a press conference for RIZIN 14 where he was billed as the main event in a fight against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.
Floyd was clowned by stars like 50 Cent and others who were baffled by Mayweather's claim that he didn't agree to participate in the fight he was promoting.
But, was he embarrassed? Apparently not, because there he was in the front row at Staples Center on Wednesday night ... along with a ton of HUGE stars like Miles Teller, Denzel Washington, Larsa Pippen, Todd Gurley, LaVar Ball and his high school basketball-playing son, LaMelo.
But, one fan deserves her own paragraph ... and that's Emily Ratajkowski, who proudly cheered on her "boo" LeBron James while looking absolutely incredible in the process.
Obviously, LBJ loves his wife ... but having a cheerleader like EmRata proves it's great to be the king.
As for Floyd ... still no idea what his New Year's Eve plans are now.

Antonio Brown Busted Going 100 MPH ... Near Bank Robbery
Cops responding to a bank robbery in Pittsburgh jumped into action when they saw a car speeding down the road at 100 MPH -- but it turns out the driver wasn't the robber, it was Antonio Brown.
The 30-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was cited for driving in excess of 100 miles per hour on Thursday in his black Porsche.
KDKA-TV EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Pittsburgh #Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown being pulled over and cited for reckless driving for allegedly going 100+ mph in a 45 mph on McKnight Road outside of #Pittsburgh. Details: https://t.co/vZoFsaxmwQ pic.twitter.com/Smf589DYHx
@realtimwilliams
Cops determined Brown was NOT the bank robber -- so they cited him for reckless driving and sent him on his way.
FYI, Brown and the Steelers have a game Thursday night at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh against the Carolina Panthers.
Guessing Brown didn't wanna be late to the field.
The Steelers issued a statement saying, "We are aware of the situation, but we are still gathering information. We won’t have any further comment at this time."
It's the latest in a string of off-the-field issues for Brown -- who's being sued for allegedly throwing furniture off his apartment balcony back in April.
Brown also claims someone stole a bunch of money and a gun from his apartment earlier this year.

FYI -- the L.A. Rams practice facility in Thousand Oaks is just 5 miles from the Borderline Bar & Grill, where David Ian Long opened fire around 11:20 PM on Wednesday.
Goff spoke out about the tragedy on Thursday ... saying "Heartbroken for our community. Thinking about everyone involved as well as friends and family of the victims. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers."

Conor McGregor Bathroom Self-Affirmation ... 'You The Man!'
Conor McGregor felt Conor McGregor needed a little confidence boost Thursday morning -- so, he looked in the mirror and told himself how great he is.
Over and over and over.
With his Versace robe hanging on his bathroom door, Conor pointed at himself and repeated, "You the man. You the man. YOU are the man!"
He then cackled like a maniac.
So, why? He's Conor McGregor, that's why.
Seems to be getting over his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov -- you remember, Conor was smashed up at UFC 229 in Vegas on October 6.
It was Conor's first MMA fight in nearly 2 years -- and he didn't exactly look like the world-beater we got used to seeing against guys like Jose Aldo and Eddie Alvarez.
Conor has said he wants a rematch with Khabib -- but has told Dana White he's willing to fight whoever it takes to get it.
In the meantime, at least he's got his mirror.

Jay Cutler ain't the only one in his family down to show off his ass ...
Check out former NFL star's wife Kristin Cavallari -- who stripped down to some lacy black lingerie ... to promote her jewelry line?
Hey, we're not complaining!
The "Very Cavallari" reality star set up the photo shoot in Palm Springs this week while decked out in Uncommon James necklaces, earrings and rings.
No top? No problem!
Of course, her hubby Jay Cutler put his butt on display back in March 2017 during a romantic trip to Mexico.
In that pic, Jay was staring longingly at the ocean.
For Kristin's shoot -- she was gazing at the hotel pool, the desert landscape and shadows on a wall.
Again, NOT COMPLAINING!
As far as Jay's career, he's out of football and spending his free time starring in his wife's reality show ... hunting, raising their kids and watching KC run her jewelry shop in Nashville.
Fun Fact: Cutler made more than $127 MILLION during his NFL career.

50 Cent Clowns Mayweather Over Japan Fight Debacle
It was just a matter of time but 50 Cent is now mocking Floyd Mayweather for pulling out of the New Year's Eve fight with Tenshin Nasukawa he had just announced on Sunday.
"Ok cool they tricked him," 50 said ... "Was trying to kick him in the head and sh*t. He fell for it because its time to get some money."
Remember, Floyd pulled out on Wednesday, saying he never agreed to an official bout -- just a 3 round exhibition -- and only participated in the press conference because he didn't want to "create a disturbance."
But, 50 implied that Floyd only took the fight because he ain't as wealthy as he leads on -- saying, "The money low."
50 then mocked Floyd for the way the head of "The Money Team" handled this deal from the beginning.
"The biggest fighter in the world don't announce a fight with out a contract. He did a press conference ... now he saying there was no deal. LOL."
50 has since deleted the IG post ... but he's just saying what everyone else is thinking -- how does the most powerful athlete on the planet get duped in such a massive and embarrassing way??
50 Cent speaks on Floyd Mayweather pic.twitter.com/r0g0PkLW8E
@balleralert
The whole thing is weird.
50 had ripped Floyd earlier in the week too -- saying Floyd's opponent is more of an "Uber driver" than a real contender.

Floyd Mayweather Backs Out of Japan Fight ... 'Never Agreed to Official Bout'

Breaking News
- 12 shares
12:24 PM PT -- Floyd had already made up his mind to back out of the fight by Tuesday night -- because he was telling people at an L.A. nightclub that it was off.
In fact, Floyd's friend Michael Blackson -- the famous comedian -- came on "TMZ Live" on Wednesday and told us when he saw Floyd at Murano Nightclub, the boxer made it clear it wasn't happening.
Floyd Mayweather is making it clear his massive New Year's Eve fight with Tenshin Nasukawa is off -- and claims it's because he was misled by fight promoters.
It's strange considering the press conference Floyd participated in on Sunday night -- promoting the fight at RIZIN 14 in Japan -- but alas, here we are.
In short, Floyd claims he only ever agreed to fight Tenshin in a private, closed door, 3-round exhibition fight "for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee."
But, when he got to the press conference (weird that he would even agree to do a press conference for a small private event) the RIZIN promoters told the media it would be a globally televised superfight.
Floyd says he went along with the press conference because he was blindsided and didn't want to "create a disturbance."
During the press conference, Floyd was PRAISING the fight promoters and said the goal was to create a longterm relationship with RIZIN to promote more fights together in the future.
Whatever the case, seems the fight's off for good. Here's Floyd's statement in its entirety.
"Now that I am back on U.S. soil after a long and disappointing trip to Tokyo, I now have the time to address you, my fans and the media in regards to the upcoming event on December 31st that was recently announced."
"First and foremost, I want it to be clear that I, Floyd Mayweather, never agreed to an official bout with Tenshin Nasukawa. In fact (with all due respect) I have never heard of him until this recent trip to Japan. Ultimately, I was asked to participate in a 9 minute exhibition of 3 rounds with an opponent selected by the 'Rizen Fighting Federation.'"
"What I was originally informed of by Brent Johnson of 'One Entertainment' was that this was to be an exhibition put on for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee. This exhibition was previously arranged as a "Special Bout" purely for entertainment purposes with no intentions of being represented as an official fight card nor televised worldwide."
"Once I arrived to the press conference, my team and I were completely derailed by the new direction this event was going and we should have put a stop to it immediately."
"I want to sincerely apologize to my fans for the very misleading information that was announced during this press conference and I can assure you that I too was completely blindsided by the arrangements that were being made without my consent nor approval."
"For the sake of the several fans and attendees that flew in from all parts of the world to attend this past press conference, I was hesitant to create a huge disturbance by combating what was being said and for that I am truly sorry."
"I am a retired boxer that earns an unprecedented amount of money, globally, for appearances, speaking engagements and occasional small exhibitions."

Craig Carton Convicted In Concert Ticket Scam Faces 45 Years In Prison

Dennis Hof Dead Brothel Honcho Wins Nevada Election
Voters in Nevada just elected a dead pimp to the State Assembly, sort of ... voting in Dennis Hof only 3 weeks after the famous brothel owner died at one his whorehouses.
Dennis was still on the ballot as a Republican candidate for the Nevada state legislature, despite being found dead Oct. 16 at his famed Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada ... and he beat out Democratic opponent Lesia Romanov in a landslide.
Polling places posted signs alerting voters to Hof's death, but that didn't stop them from voting for the man who made a living running sex ranches.
During his campaign, Dennis nicknamed himself the "Trump from Pahrump," in reference to the town where he lived in Nevada ... and he got over 60 percent of the vote in the heavily Republican district he was favored to win.
Because a dead man won the election, the seat is still considered vacant and will be filled by the county commissioners, who will select a fellow Republican who resides in the district to serve Dennis' 2-year term.
What a country!

Laura Ingraham Mocks Taylor Swift ... Your Candidate Lost!!!
Laura Ingraham is rubbing it in Taylor Swift's face after the candidate the singer backed for the United States Senate lost his race in Tennessee.
Laura shaded Taylor on Twitter, telling her to #shakeitoff after Rep. Marsha Blackburn beat out former Gov. Phil Bredesen to win an important Senate seat for the GOP.
Hey @taylorswift13, haters gonna hate. #shakeitoff
@IngrahamAngle
As we reported ... Taylor got political for the first time, going to bat for Bredesen and saying she could not in her right conscience vote for Blackburn, who's been seen at rallies in support of President Trump.
Seems Laura was waiting to ambush Taylor on social media ... the FOX News host fired off the snarky Tweet minutes after the network called the election in Blackburn's favor.
It's not all bad for the newly political Taylor ... she's backing another Dem, Rep. Jim Cooper, who is projected to win re-election.
