Ever try doing your job while an NFL superstar farts in your face?

That's what happened to the guy testing Antonio Brown's body fat percentage on Monday -- who weathered ass rip after ass rip while trying to administer the test.

Dude must have a nose of steel -- because he was unfazed by the Pittsburgh Steelers' WR's overactive butthole.

In the end, the test showed Brown has 3% body fat -- which the fart-enduring administrator described as "pretty f**king good."

As for Antonio, he chalked up his gas problems to having too much fiber in his diet.

Brown returned to practice with the Steelers on Monday and looked pretty good catching balls from Ben Roethlisberger.

AB had missed some time after suffering an injury to his quad -- but he appears to be doing much better now.

The Steelers have their final preseason game on Thursday -- playing the Panthers in a final dress rehearsal. Don't expect Brown to take any snaps though.

Rose McGowan is clearly disappointed in Asia Argento for allegedly sexually assaulting Jimmy Bennett but adds, Asia's case makes her realize even the accused deserved due process.

Rose issued a lengthy statement Monday about Asia, Jimmy and her paying him $380k. Rose appears to side with Bennett, saying, "There absolutely should be no leeway or tolerance for sexual assault. Hard stop. NONE," ... adding that victims shouldn't be told how to talk about their abusers.

Rose also says Asia sent text messages to a mutual friend of theirs in which Asia admits to having sex with Jimmy ... even though she'd flat-out denied any sexual relationships with him.

Rose admits she needs to evolve when it comes to her reaction to cases like Asia's -- and perhaps even Weinstein -- saying, "However as allies to the victim and voyeurs of an event we should find a better way to balance support of the victim with due process for the accused."

She also calls on Asia to be better, honest, fair and "the person you wish Harvey could have been."

Like we told you ... the L.A. County Sheriff's Department wants to talk to Bennett to see if a criminal investigation is warranted.

Ice Cube was so fired up after Team Power won the BIG3 title over the weekend, he went to the locker room and kicked off the champagne-spraying party all by himself ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

Cube actually got to the locker room so fast, he beat some of the players to the celebration -- but when Corey Maggette, "Big Baby" Davis and "Birdman" Andersen arrived, they got the full spray treatment.

It all went down Friday night at Barclays Center, where Team Power took on (and beat) 3's Company -- comprised of players like Baron Davis and Drew Gooden.

Big Baby was particularly pumped up -- grabbin' everybody around him and soaking them in Luc Belaire champagne. Not even coach Nancy Lieberman was spared.

And, by the way ... did you know Nancy Lieberman became the first woman to coach a men’s pro team to a championship?

Ivanka Trump just broke in a big way from her father, calling John McCain a "true hero," adding that he served with distinction for more than six decades.

Donald Trump was just shamed into acknowledging John McCain was an honorable American, belatedly saying, "Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain's service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment."

BTW, the flag was raised after a day at half-staff but Trump clearly bowed to the outrage and pressure.

More John McCain disrespect from Donald Trump -- who refused to even acknowledge the late senator in front of reporters Monday at the White House.

POTUS held a meeting in the Oval Office -- sitting with Melania -- when ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl began asking question after question about McCain.

Despite the fact he was in spitting distance from the President, Trump ignored Karl and stared blankly at the pool of photographers.

Karl followed up with Trump in the White House Cabinet Room -- while Trump was sitting next to Vice President Mike Pence -- but still, no acknowledgment from 45 when it came to McCain.

Further insult from the administration came early Monday morning as the White House flag was returned to full-staff after it had been at half-staff to honor Sen. McCain. Interestingly, it's now been lowered again.

Trump has been extremely critical of McCain for years -- claiming he should not be hailed as a hero because he was captured in battle during the Vietnam war.

Trump famously said he likes people who did NOT get captured.

McCain -- who passed away on Saturday after battling brain cancer -- took a thinly-veiled shot at Trump (and his walls) in his farewell letter ... saying:

"We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down ..."

McCain was 81.

John McCain took a parting shot before he died at Donald Trump, saying, "We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down ..."

McCain's final words were called a "farewell statement" from the Senator. As we reported, McCain has made Donald Trump persona non grata at his funeral, and the President has been stingy to say the least in any praise for the war hero who was a guiding light in the Senate ... especially on global relations.

McCain wrote, "We are three-hundred-and-twenty-five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times."

He ends with this -- again seemingly about the troubles that emanate from the top -- "Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America ... Fairwell, fellow Americans, God bless you, and God bless America.

Vinnie Paul -- Pantera's drummer and one of the original founders of the band -- died from a bad heart ... TMZ has learned.

The Clark County Coroner tells TMZ that Vinnie died of dilated cardiomyopathy -- an enlarged heart -- as well as severe coronary artery disease -- a heart condition. We're told he died of natural causes.

As we reported ... Vinnie died in his sleep this past June at his Las Vegas home. His body was going to be buried in Texas next to his mom and his late brother, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott -- who was tragically murdered on stage during a show.

Like we told you ... Vinnie was laid to rest in a custom KISS casket, identical to the one his brother was buried in. Gene Simmons and co. provided the casket as a gift to Vinnie's family. He was buried in some of his own clothes -- including his hat, shoes and flannel ... among other items.

A free public memorial concert was also held for him in Dallas at 3:33 PM to recognize his brother, Darrell. Pantera was a huge heavy metal band in the '90s -- having been nominated for Grammys in 1995 and 2001. Their album, "Far Beyond Driven," hit #1 in 1994.

Odell Beckham, you're about to sign the largest contract extension for a WR in the history of the NFL -- what are you gonna do next??

Forget Disneyland, Odell just had a locker room dance party with Sterling Shepard while bumping "For The Love Of Money" by The O'Jays.

... and it's awesome!!!

Odell is reportedly about to finalize his new deal with the New York Giants -- a 5-year deal worth up to $95 MILLION with $65 guaranteed, according to ESPN and NFL Network.

For perspective ... the largest WR contracts are currently held by guys like Antonio Brown (4-years, $68 mil) and Mike Evans (5-years worth up to $82.5 million).

Think Odell's happy about it? Judging by the video, he's over the moon -- dude is dancing like he just won the lottery ... and he kinda just did!

Less is more when it comes to training gear for Novak Djokovic ... 'cause dude went for a run on the beach in Spain wearing sneakers and a Speedo.

Djok was hangin' out in Marbella when he decided to get in a workout while taking in some sun -- so, he hit one of the public beach gym places and started grindin'!

... in his budgy smuggler.

He ran. He did pull-ups. Leg press. All while leaving little to the imagination.

Look, he's from Europe (Serbia) and was in Europe (Spain) ... and everyone knows they love their man panties across the pond.

Plus, Novak's got a killer bod.

Of course, Novak is now in New York for the U.S. Open ... so, it's all business from here on out.

Iggy Azalea had an interesting Sunday ... spending some time with NBA superstar Jimmy Butler in Malibu.

Soooooooooo ... was this a date???

The photographer certainly believes it was -- saying the two left a restaurant in Malibu together after dining together.

Buuuuuut ... it's also ENTIRELY possible the two just happened to be leaving the same restaurant at the same time and were being cordial in the parking lot.

The two seem to be each other's types -- he's a good lookin' NBA superstar. She's smokin' hot.

But remember, Jimmy was recently out to lunch with ANOTHER really attractive lady -- India Love -- and when we asked if they were a "thing," Jimmy played the whole thing down.

By the way, Love is an aspiring rapper who's been romantically linked to stars like The Game, Rick Ross and Drake. She's also got 3.7 million IG followers.

Florida State football head coach Willie Taggert says Deondre Francois will be his starting QB this season ... despite two police incidents during the offseason.

Francois is a pretty solid player -- one of the top recruited QBs in the country out of high school -- but made national headlines for 2 off-the-field incidents after his sophomore year.

The 1st incident was a domestic altercation with his girlfriend back in January when Francois called police ... claiming she was tearing up his apartment and trying to attack him.

The girlfriend told a different story ... claiming Francois was the violent one, picking her up and throwing her to the ground in a jealous rage while she was 9 weeks pregnant.

Cops responded but couldn't determine who was telling the truth -- so no one was arrested. No charges were ever filed against Francois.

The 2nd incident went down in April when Francois was cited for marijuana possession in Tennessee -- after cops raided his home after receiving a tip Deondre may have been dealing weed out of the apartment.

Cops say Deondre tried to pin the weed they found on his girlfriend -- the same one from the domestic incident -- but they didn't believe him and cited the QB.

Nate Diaz says Bruce Buffer is OUT OF HIS MIND if he thinks he'll ever "bow" to Dana White and the UFC ... saying, "I bow down to no one ever!"

Diaz is reacting to comments Buffer made the other day when Bruce told TMZ Sports ... Nate should stop the complaining about the UFC since he's made MILLIONS fighting in the Octagon.

And instead of being bitter, Bruce said Nate should be "thanking the UFC and bowing to Dana White every time you see him."

We should note that Bruce explained he's a HUGE fan of Nate -- and wants to see Diaz have even more success.

But, Nate didn't take the comments well and fired back at Buffer -- saying, "Bruce Buffer wtf get off the Ufc nuts."

He continued, "[You're] bowing down right now tellling me to bow down? f*ck that u keep bowing down."

"I Bow down to no one ever for alll the money n the world."

Diaz added, "With all do respect @brucebuffer."

And get this ... Buffer has already responded.

"With all respect Nate that is not what I meant by saying the word 'bow,' I meant it as a sign of respect as in when greeting someone, not a sign of submission as I’d never expect you to do that for anyone."

Bruce is one of the nicest guys in the biz -- we're guessing the two will find a way to squash the beef.

As for Nate, he's upset with the UFC -- claiming Dana White and company hasn't promoted him the way he thinks he should be promoted.

White, on the other hand, has said he's offered Diaz several fights over the years but Nate has turned them all down for no good reason.

Diaz accepted a fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 230 in November -- but he's already threatened to pull out, claiming he's still pissed at the UFC.

Tom Brady was definitely not cool in the pocket when asked about his controversial personal trainer during a radio interview Monday morning -- and got so irritated, he hung up on the show.

Brady called in to the "Kirk & Callahan" show on WEEI in Boston when he was asked about reports that his personal trainer's relationship with the Patriots has gotten better.

Background ... Brady's been working out with Alex Guerrero for years, which has reportedly caused a rift with coach Bill Belichick.

According to multiple reports, Belichick isn't a fan of Guerrero's treatment plans -- and blocked him from traveling with the team and having sideline access in 2017.

So, when Brady appeared on the radio show Monday morning, he was asked if there was truth to reports the relationship is thawing ... and if Belichick has unblocked him from team privileges.

"I said that I don't wanna get into it," Brady said ... clearly upset.

"It's well documented the work that he and I do together."

When the radio hosts tried to ask some follow-up questions, Brady tried to politely pull the plug.

"Yeah, alright guys. Have a great day. I'll talk to you later."

You scratch Donald Trump's back, he'll scratch yours ... just ask Jim Brown -- who was just praised publicly by the President days after the NFL player went to bat for Donald during a radio interview.

Brown told "JT The Brick" he's still "really pulling for the President" after meeting with POTUS at Trump Tower right after Trump won the election back in December 2016.

Brown also said he knows supporting Trump will make him unpopular in the black community but said he believes Trump is doing "good things."

Fast forward to Monday morning ... when Trump tweeted about his old friend.

"Thank you to the great [Jim Brown] perhaps the greatest running back of all time, for your wonderful words and support."

"Since our meeting in New York, African-American UNEMPLOYMENT has reached the LOWEST LEVEL IN HISTORY. You get it!"

Trump made no mention of the NFL kneelers in the tweet, but they also share the same point of view on that issue -- firmly against it.

Over the weekend, Brown met with another outspoken Trump supporter -- Kanye West.

In fact, Trump also praised Kanye and his wife, Kim Kardashian West, while speaking at a fundraising dinner in Ohio on Friday.

"Now we're doing great and Kanye West liked me and that really lifted my -- Kanye West has some real power!" Trump said.

"He's got a good wife too, in Kim, I'll tell ya. She really is."

Trump continued to hand out compliments to his athlete friends on Monday ... praising Tiger Woods' response to questions about his relationship with POTUS.

"The Fake News Media worked hard to get Tiger Woods to say something that he didn’t want to say. Tiger wouldn’t play the game - he is very smart," Trump tweeted.

4:32 PM PT -- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office just said there were 14 total victims and 3 people who were killed, one of them being the suspected shooter ... 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore, who killed himself. Cops say he used one handgun that they know of. Katz was indeed part of the competition, having gone by usernames like RavensChamp and Bread. Announcers from a previous 'Madden' tournament noted him as elusive -- "a man of business" who "keeps to himself."

3:02 PM PT -- A reporter for the LA Times says a competitor at the tournament tells him the shooter was a gamer there himself, who opened fire after losing. Citing eyewitnesses, the LA Times also says the shooter shot himself dead after his killing spree.

1:36 PM PT --- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office just held a press conference and offered a few more details. They say there has been only one suspect identified -- an anonymous white male for now -- with no other outstanding suspects on the scene. Jacksonville Landing has been cleared -- and an official body count is still outstanding.

A gunman opened fire at a livestream tournament for the game Madden NFL 19 in Jacksonville, Florida -- and audio of the first shots were broadcast live.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office confirmed there was an active mass shooting Sunday at Jacksonville Landing -- an outdoor shopping area in downtown -- and warned people to stay away. The tournament was being streamed live on Twitch from the GLHF Game Bar near Chicago Pizza. The opening rounds were captured in the stream.

WARNING ... the audio here is incredibly graphic, as you can hear people screaming in a panic.

Some local outlets are reporting that multiple victims have been shot and at least 4 people were killed -- although police have not confirmed the exact numbers yet. They have, however, confirmed that there are multiple fatalities ... and multiple others have been transported to a hospital.

The JSO just tweeted that one suspect is dead at the scene, but it is unknown if there's a second suspect. They say a thorough search is being conducted now, and SWAT is finding many people hiding out in locked areas throughout Jacksonville Landing. JSO is urging people to stay put and call 911 so police can come and rescue them. According to their Facebook page, all of GHLF's staff is safe and accounted for.

John McCain -- a former Vietnam prisoner of war, 6-term U.S. Senator from Arizona and 2008 GOP Presidential nominee who battled an aggressive form of brain cancer in the latter part of his storied career -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

According to a statement from McCain's office, he died Saturday at 4:28 PM, adding ... "With the Senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family. At his death, he had served the United States of America faithfully for sixty years.”

The news comes not long after McCain made the decision to stop medical treatment after a year-long battle with brain cancer. As we reported ... McCain's family said age was a factor in John's decision to cease treatment. Fact is ... he had surpassed expectations for survival.

The decorated politician's family said they are "immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John's many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers."

McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma back in July 2017 ... the same type of cancer that took the life of Senator Ted Kennedy back in 2009. McCain took some time off to fight the disease but continued chairing the influential Senate Armed Services Committee.

Most notably, he returned just a week after his brain cancer diagnosis to cast the deciding vote that killed President Trump's attempt to repeal Obamacare. The vote came as a huge surprise, to say the least, and added another wrinkle to the testy relationship he had with Trump. McCain said he did NOT want Trump attending his funeral.

McCain was a respected leader in the Senate, despite being labeled a maverick ... someone who broke from Republican ranks when he felt principle was more important than party.

Trump mocked McCain during his presidential campaign for being a prisoner of war ... saying he liked war heroes who were not captured. McCain -- a Naval Academy graduate who took tremendous pride in his "maverick" label -- was captured in October 1967 after his bomber was hit by a missile.

The force of the ejection was so violent, McCain broke his right leg and both arms. McCain was held in a prison camp where he said he was beaten every 2 or 3 hours by guards over the course of several days.

McCain was finally released on March 14, 1973 but the effects of the crash and torture were evident in his everyday life from that day forward ... with a visible limp when he walked and his inability to raise either arm above his shoulders.

McCain -- born on on August 29, 1936 in the Panama Canal -- served in the Navy until 1981 and quickly dove into politics. He was elected to Congress in 1982 and the Senate in 1986.

McCain ran twice for President. He lost to then-Texas governor George W. Bush in the 2000 primaries but won the Republican nomination back in 2008 ... with Sarah Palin as his running mate. The pair ultimately lost to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. McCain later said he regretted picking Palin.

McCain is survived by Cindy, his wife of 38 years, and his 5 children -- Meghan, John, James, Bridget and Sidney.

He was 81. RIP

The YouTube superstars' superfight night in Manchester, England -- featuring Logan Paul vs. KSI and Jake Paul vs. Deji -- is over ... after the judges called the second battle of the bros a draw.

The 2 went the 6-round distance in an entertaining and exhausting fight, but in the end KSI's hand was raised ... along with Logan's.

The judges' scorecards came out to a majority draw, which can only mean one thing -- REMATCH!!

As for the fight ... Logan dominated the first 2 rounds by landing a number of jabs and body shots, but the momentum seemed to turn after KSI threw a cheap shot after the bell at the end of round 2 ... causing Jake to angrily jump in the ring.

After that, KSI's energy level looked much higher than Logan's -- especially in the final round -- as he threw a series of violent haymakers ... many of which connected.

Earlier, Logan's younger bro Jake defeated Deji in the 5th round by knockout after wearing him down with a flurry of punches in the previous 2 rounds. Deji's corner threw in the towel as Jake continued his barrage in the fifth.

The 2 were aggressive from the opening bell, throwing jabs and hooks and landing head and body shots galore ... and Jake's bloody face in round 1 showed the damage.

He was able to recover, though ... and seemed to have more stamina and composure as the fight went on.

As we reported ... Logan and KSI came face-to-face Friday for weigh-ins one final time before they entered the ring to pummel each other ... and brought the insults.

KSI decided to go after L.P.'s girlfriend, Chloe Bennet ... by walking onto the stage wearing a mask of the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star's face. Logan hit back with a jab at KSI's apparent bad breath ... by giving him some gum.

Both bros have been training like maniacs for months, with KSI crushing his boxing workouts and Logan brutalizing his sparring partner in a training sesh.

As for the Jake fight ... he predicted a 1st-round KO of Deji when asked by legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer at Friday's weigh-in. Deji responded by calling Jake "delusional."

Two days earlier ... Jake slapped Deji in the face when KSI's little bro crashed his gym where he was meeting up with fans for autographs and pics.
