Here she is ... the first kid to ever win a major tennis tournament from inside the womb!!!!

Serena Williams and baby daddy Alexis Ohanian just revealed the first pic of their brand new daughter -- Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr.

That's right ... she's got the same name as her daddy -- and she's a junior!

Serena says Alexis Jr. weighed 6 lbs 14 ounces when she was born on Sept. 1.

And she's already crediting the kid with winning a Grand Slam title, since Serena won the Australian Open while she was pregnant with A2.

But the delivery wasn't exactly smooth sailing -- 35-year-old Serena says there were "a lot of complications" at the hospital that required them to stay there for 6 or 7 days.

The good news ... everything seems fine now and Serena says, "Look what we got! A baby girl!"

Congrats!

Michael Bennett and his lawyer are making it very clear -- their plan is to sue the Las Vegas Metro Police Department over that August 27 incident where he was detained at gunpoint.

The NFL superstar and his lawyer, John Burris, sat down with ABC News where they doubled down on claims he was racially profiled when 2 officers ordered him to the ground during an investigation into a possible active shooter at a Vegas hotel.

The Seattle Seahawks star is still adamant he was detained because he's a black man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time -- and says he was physically and verbally abused until cops realized he was an NFL player.

In fact, Bennett says it was only when cops Googled him, the abuse stopped.

"I went from being a black man to a football player."

Burris has laid down the gauntlet with the LVMPD -- saying, "Unless something changes drastically that we don't know of, we're gonna file a lawsuit."

Mark Ronson completely ripped off Roger Troutman and Zapp's funk masterpiece when he cranked out his megahit "Uptown Funk" with Bruno Mars ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Lastrada Entertainment, which owns rights to Roger and Zapp's 1980 classic "More Bounce to the Ounce" ... says 'Uptown' is a clear copy ... particularly the first 48 seconds of it. That portion includes the repeated talk-boxing of the word "doh" ... similar to the lyrics of 'More Bounce' in the 1980 hit.

"Uptown Funk" has been incredibly successful ... moving more than 11 million units since its release.

The suit, obtained by TMZ, also points out Ronson even cited Roger and Zapp as influences -- and includes note-for-note comparisons of the songs. Legalese aside ... you can listen to the similarities for yourself.

Lastrada is suing Ronson, Sony, Spotify, Apple and several producers to shut down future plays and sales of "Uptown Funk," ... plus an unspecified amount in damages. Bruno is not a defendant.

We've reached out to Ronson and Sony ... so far no word back.

Kobe Bryant will be the first Laker in team history to have TWO jersey numbers retired ... when they put #8 and #24 in the Staples Center rafters in December.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the Lake Show will have a ceremony to retire Kobe's jersey on Dec. 18 before the Lakers play the Golden State Warriors.

The big question was which # would get the VIP treatment.

The answer? Both ... according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

Of course, Bryant dominated in both numbers ... winning 3 NBA championships in #8 (2000, 2001, 2002) and 2 in #24 (2009, 2010).

BTW, Rick Fox kinda called this ... predicting a double number retirement way back in 2015.

Don't call it a comeback -- cause it's a looongshot -- but Stephon Marbury says he's gunnin' for an NBA return!

The 40-year-old announced the news on social media, adding that -- "I still have a lot of go in me as a player and at 40 being able to play at a high level is a gift."

Remember ... Starbury left the league 8 YEARS ago after a string of sketchy off-court incidents -- highlighted by him eating Vaseline straight out of a jar.

He famously packed his bags for China ... and became the most legendary player in Chinese Basketball Association history (for real, dude's already got his own statue).

Now, Marbury says he's ready to "turn towards the last page of my basketball diary that I've been writing since 95 when I left Lincoln High."

Will a team take a chance on him? We'll see ...

Amanda Nunes fought HARD to win a new belt at UFC 215 ... and immediately gave up her gold when she met a fan with an amazing story.

19-year-old cancer survivor -- and UFC superfan -- Angie Rose talked about their meet-up on social media ... describing the incredible act of kindness from the UFC women's bantamweight champ.

After the post-fight press conference, Angie says she waited in the rain by the fighters' exit tunnel at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Nunes spotted Angie ... and told her bus driver she had to meet the girl.

Angie says she gave Amanda a couple homemade bracelets ... and in return, Amanda gifted Angie her newly won strap and told her she was "the real champion."

"Hearing those words mean so much to me after I have battled through 9 years of sickness, sadness, pain and suffering with off again, on again cancer," Angie wrote.

Angie added that her dream is to meet Conor McGregor next.

Sergio Dipp -- who became famous Monday night for his epically terrible 'MNF' sideline report -- says he wants another shot to cover the NFL ... assuring the viewers he'll do better next time!

Dipp rose to social media superstardom during the 1st half of the Chargers, Broncos game -- ESPN cameras cut to the sideline reporter who bumbled his way through an incredibly awkward story about Broncos head coach Vance Joseph.

ESPN never brought Dipp back on the air -- despite demands from everyone on Twitter. There was just something endearing about him.

After the game, Dipp -- who was born in Mexico -- posted a video statement ... saying he was just very excited to make his debut on American TV, "The biggest stage possible."

"All I wanted to do was to show some love to these two historical head coaches," Dipp said.

"Hopefully, I'll have another chance and be sure I'll make the most out of it."

Welcome to "What the HELL are are you doing?!" -- starring LSU RB Derrius Guice ... who nearly flipped an ATV trying to pull off a 4-wheeled trick and almost CRUSHED himself in the process.

If you didn't know, Guice is an absolute stud (he led the SEC in rushing last year, even while LSU had this other guy), a legit Heisman candidate, and a surefire 1st-rounder in the NFL draft next year.

That, of course, could all change if he were to do anything stupid ... LIKE HURTING HIMSELF ON A FREAKIN' ATV ... something that almost happened in a video Guice posted to his own Instagram account!

The stupid machine flips, almost crushing DG and his passenger, but luckily it didn't -- meaning he'll be ready to go against Mississippi State on Saturday, LSU's first SEC game of the year.

Guice assured his fans that "everything is fine" -- adding, "Before y'all start commenting BS. Let me have my fun. I won't get hurt so shhh."

Derrius, from an LSU fan (hi, it's Van) ... CUT THE CRAP NOW!

Better start saving up, BBB fans -- LaVar Ball says he's designing his own signature shoe ... and they're gonna cost $1,500. AT LEAST!!

LaVar dropped the bombshell during a live Q&A on Sunday -- when a fan asked the Big Baller dad when he was droppin' his own pair of kicks.

LaVar doesn't have a release date yet -- but says the shoes will be called "The LaVar-iccis" ... and are gonna cost MORE THAN TRIPLE Lonzo Ball's $495 ZO2s (and almost 4x LaMelo Ball's $395 MB1s).

Why so much?

"Cause I’m gonna design 'em and they gonna be flyyy ... my bad, they gonna be baller-ized!"

Is he for real on the price tag? At this point, we wouldn't put it past him.

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield says he's soooo sorry for sticking the OU flag on the Ohio State logo after beating the Buckeyes on Saturday ... saying his emotions got the best of him.

Mayfield's Sooners put the smack down on OSU in a 31-16 victory at The Horseshoe -- and bitter Ohio State fans are saying the flag move was straight up disrespectful (shoulda won then, huh).

Now, Mayfield is apologizing for the move -- saying, "I didn't mean for it to be disrespectful" ... adding, "I got caught up in an emotional win."

Mayfield says the gloating should have been saved for the locker room and the utter display of dominance should not have gone down in the middle of the field.

Is he right? No. That was awesome.

Tom Brady says he doesn't have any sort of relationship with Colin Kaepernick -- explaining, "I've never really had a conversation with him."

The New England Patriots QB called in to WEEI radio on Monday and was asked if he's been paying attention to the Kaepernick saga -- and the ongoing national anthem demonstrations around the league.

Brady says he doesn't give Kaepernick much thought because his attention "goes a lot of places" at this time of the year ... and he's too busy to think about Colin.

Tom was also pressed on if he was proud that his teammates don't sit or take a knee during the anthem -- to which he explained, "I don't really pay attention to that."

As far as Tom's non-relationship with Colin -- Kaepernick went to bat for Tom back in 2015 during the Deflategate scandal ... saying, "No football in the world is going to help you win by 38! Let it go and let Tom be great!"

Colin Kaepernick is NOT being blackballed by the NFL, he's unemployed because he's not a good quarterback -- so says Kid Rock.

The rock star has been blasting Kaepernick at his concerts for a while -- pissed off over his national anthem protest.

But after his latest shot at Kaep, Kid decided to clarify his stance on the QB.

"To be clear -- F*ck ANYONE who takes a knee or sits during our national anthem," Kid Rock said in a Facebook post.

"Pretty sure if Russell Wilson or Tom Brady were doing it they would have no problem finding a job playing for any team they wanted in the NFL! So cut the bullsh*t!"

Kid Rock has been under fire for using the Confederate flag at his shows. Some people have straight up called him racist -- but Kid says he's not.

Steph Curry is disgusted that Colin Kaepernick is still in the unemployment line ... and he's got a message for all the NFL teams refusing to sign him -- FREE KAEP.

Steph was in attendance for the 49ers vs. Panthers game at Levi's Stadium ... and shared a photo of the field with a #FreeKaep caption.

This statement comes a day after Curry spoke about Kaep deserving an NFL roster spot ... adding that his national anthem protests "shook up the world ... for the better."

“He definitely should be in the NFL," Steph told The Charlotte Observer.

"If you’ve been around the NFL, the top 64 quarterbacks, and he’s not one of them? Then I don’t know what game I’m watching."

As for Kaep ... the former Niners QB was social media silent on Sunday -- but his Know Your Rights Camp account posted messages urging fans to boycott the NFL.

The NFL isn't giving up in the fight to punish Ezekiel Elliott -- the league has just filed court docs to appeal the preliminary injunction that had been awarded to the Dallas Cowboys running back last week.

The point of filing the appeal ... the league wants to enforce the 6-game suspension as soon as possible, ideally this season -- and the appeal is the best way to try and get that result.

So, what's next? The NFL will file more papers detailing why they think the judge who handed out the preliminary injunction got it wrong. Elliott will then respond to those arguments.

Eventually, a 3 judge panel will likely hear the appeal. The panel could reverse the decision which would give the NFL the power to enforce the suspension ASAP.

According to our lawyer (hey, he went to Harvard), it's possible the decision could be reached by the end of the season.

Adrien Broner is making a public plea for help ... this after the boxer was seen in a frightening violent outburst on the streets of Las Vegas.

"I know I got problems I just want help," Broner posted on social media late Sunday night ... "Just need someone to talk too."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Broner erupted while walking on the Vegas strip on Friday night -- forcefully shoving a woman before clocking a man in the face and knocking him out.

Broner says he can't get any of his friends to talk with him -- it seems like a message to Floyd Mayweather, who essentially took him under his wing the last time Broner needed help.

Big win for Ezekiel Elliott -- who was just granted a preliminary injunction from a federal judge in Texas ... which blocks the NFL from imposing his 6-game suspension ... at least for now.

What does it mean -- Zeke will likely play the entire NFL season without missing a single game.

The NFL Player's Association had filed the lawsuit on behalf of Elliott, claiming the Dallas Cowboys star did not get a fair hearing in front of the arbitrator in his appeal of the domestic violence punishment.

The judge agreed ... saying there was a "cloud of fundamental unfairness" in the proceedings. The judge didn't think it was fair for Elliott to be punished with that cloud looming.

The judge points out two "gross errors" in the arbitration -- which were the decision to not include the accuser, Tiffany Thompson, and NFL commish, Roger Goodell, as witnesses.

So, what happens next?

The NFL will likely file an emergency motion challenging the court's ruling. The chances the NFL wins that are slim.

Elliott and the NFLPA now have the green light to continue the legal fight to have the 6-game suspension voided altogether ... which is their ultimate goal.

That process could entail a huge, lengthy trial that could take months and months -- and until the case is settled and a judge rules on the validity of the suspension once and for all, Zeke gets to play.
