Amanda Nunes: I'm Better Than Jedrzejczyk ... & My GF Can Beat Her
Amanda Nunes says there's no doubt she's the best female fighter in the world -- not Joanna Jedrzejczyk -- and she's 100% confident her girlfriend can beat the strawweight champ.
Amanda and Joanna are dominating the women's division in the UFC -- but likely won't fight each other because they're in different weight classes.
But, Amanda's GF, Nina Ansaroff, is right in Joanna's wheelhouse -- in fact, they both train at the American Top Team gym.
Nina says she's not intimidated by Joanna's impressive undefeated MMA record -- and tells TMZ Sports straight-up, "I can beat her."
Nina has to climb the ranks before she gets a chance to back up her talk -- but she's convinced it's just a matter of time before she fights for the title.

Karrueche Tran Mellow Yellow 29th Birthday With Quavo
Karrueche Tran rang in her 29th birthday at Cipriani's Wednesday night with a slew of guests that included boyfriend/Migos rapper Quavo.
They arrived and left separately, but the secret -- if it ever was one -- is way out.
They've been on the DL mostly because Karrueche has issues. She's going to court next week, hoping to get a permanent restraining order against ex-BF Chris Brown, claiming he targeted death threats her way.
Can't blame Quavo ... Karrueche looked damn fine, even pulling off highlighter yellow. HBD.

Gisele Tom Brady Has Concussions All The Time 'We Don't Talk About'

Tom Brady suffered a football-related concussion last year that nobody knew about -- and he secretly gets concussions all the time -- so says his wife, Gisele.
The supermodel appeared on "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday and expressed frustration with Tom's health ... particularly the brain injuries he suffers on the field.
"Football ... like he had a concussion last year," Gisele said.
"I mean he has concussions pretty much every [year] ... I mean, we don't talk about. But he does have concussions."
This could be a big deal ... considering Brady was not listed on the NFL injury list for a concussion once in 2016. It begs the question ... was the injury covered up to keep him on the field?
In the NFL, if a player is diagnosed with a concussion during a game, he is NOT allowed to return to the field for the remainder of that game. He may return the following week at the discretion of his doctor.
"I don’t really think it’s a healthy thing for your body to go through like, through that kind of aggression like, all the time–that cannot be healthy for you, right?"
"I mean I’m planning on having him be healthy and do a lot of fun things when we’re like 100, I hope."

Elle King Husband Busted for Domestic Violence Weeks Before Their Split
Elle King's husband was arrested after they had a violent altercation about a month ago -- when we had no idea they were married -- but she chose to let him off the hook, criminally.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the incident went down April 23 at Elle and Andrew Ferguson's L.A. home. We're told they were arguing when Ferguson grabbed her by the throat with both hands, tossed her on a bed ... and said, "I'm gonna f***ing kill you."
We're told cops found scratches on Elle's neck and marks on her arm. Ferguson was arrested and booked for felony domestic violence. We're told his side of the story was that he threw Elle to stop her from hitting her head on a wall.
Elle later told cops things just got out of hand while they were partying, and she did not wish to press charges. The D.A. ultimately declined to move forward with the case ... however, the arrest adds context to the singer's surprise breakup announcement.
Elle posted a pic Monday, revealing they'd secretly married back in March 2016, and were going to have a big ceremony on April 15, 2017. Elle admitted skipping that to go to a Eagles of Death Metal concert instead. It's unclear if the fight, 8 days later, was related.
We've reached out to Elle, but no word back.

Ben Higgins & Lauren Bushnell 'Bachelor' Stars Call it Quits!!!
'Bachelor' stars Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell are donzo ... the couple just announced they've split.
The announcement came Monday but the writing was seemingly on the wall before the proposal ever went down. Ben proposed to Lauren in season 20 of 'Bachelor' but the relationship didn't come without some pretty major hiccups. First, he told Lauren AND JoJo Fletcher he loved them both before ultimately picking Lauren.
Also ... Ben, 29, and Lauren, 27, called off their wedding back in November as they tried to navigate the relationship off-camera.
They told PEOPLE -- which first reported the breakup -- that it's "with heavy hearts we announce our decision to go our separate ways. We feel fortunate for the time we had together, and will remain friends with much love and respect for one another."

A-Rod Skips Derek Jeter Night ... Does Dinner with J Lo
Alex Rodriguez was in NYC doing dinner with Jennifer Lopez ... while most of his old Yankees teammates were at Yankee Stadium honoring Derek Jeter.
A-Rod and J Lo stepped out Sunday evening heading to Nobu. They were dressed to the nines, but make no mistake ... this is a bad look for Alex.
Yankee greats gathered at the Stadium where Jeter's number 2 was retired. Alex was invited, but his publicist had said he wouldn't be able to make it because he was going to be in Miami celebrating Mother's Day.
The photo shows he was really just ... oh, about 8 miles south of Derek. We've reached out A-Rod's rep, but no word back yet.
First time in history choosing J Lo backfires?
7:30 AM PT -- A-Rod was indeed in Miami on Sunday. His rep says he spent the morning with family, including Mom. We're told he arrived in NYC after 6 PM -- he has to work there Monday -- and went straight to Jennifer's for the dinner.
For what it's worth ... the Jeter event went down around 7 PM.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon It's Like They Never Divorced
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon can't quit each other ... especially not on a family holiday like Mother's Day.
Mimi and Nick hit Nobu Sunday night for dinner with their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Makes sense the kids would be with Mariah on Sunday ... the fact Nick joined them just adds to the buzz they're getting back together.
Nick's told us it's just a family thing, but after the trip to Disneyland a few weeks ago, and a string of dinners together -- and not always with the kiddos -- it makes you wonder.

Russell Wilson and Ciara don't give a crap what the Internet says about their family ... baby Future's gonna hang with his stepdad whether you like it or not.
Ciara posted this video Sunday afternoon of Future Jr. getting his Mother's Day on with Russ right next to him. Yeah, the kid's cute as hell, but this clip's more significant than that.
Russell caught some heat from online trolls who thought he was out of line for including Future's son when he said, "our kids."
It's the sweetest video ... that's actually a giant middle finger.

Kendall & A$AP Rocky Hit Same Party as Her Ex ... Jordan Clarkson Claims Victory
Kendall Jenner nearly had a seriously awkward moment when she and A$AP Rocky ended up at the same party as her ex, Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson -- except Jordan had the smoothest reaction.
The trio were all at the Peppermint Club in WeHo Saturday night. Remember, Jordan and Kendall were a thing just last fall ... so you could understand him not being too thrilled to see her with her new guy.
But score one for Jordan ... we got him as his car was pulled around, and asked about bumping into Kendall. His reply was basically, "I'm a playa!" And then he piled into his ride with 3 hot chicks!
Meanwhile ... Kendall and A$AP did the sneak out separately thing trying to avoid cameras. Fail.
"Lakers win! Lakers win!!"

Daniel Cormier More Excited for Wedding Than Jon Jones Fight

DC is tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend and mother of his 2 children, Salina Deleon, on May 27 -- and says it's something he's been looking forward to for a very long time.
In fact, Daniel says he's been fully involved in the wedding planning -- even mapping out the seating chart (and if you've ever planned a wedding, you know how big of a pain that can be!).
But the most important part ... what gift is he hoping to get from Dana? Something big and small at the same time.

Ariel Winter Browsin' Houses with BF
Ariel Winter and her boyfriend pulled up their house-hunting pants -- at least he did -- and hit up several pads around L.A. this week.
Ariel and 29-year-old actor Levi Meaden checked out a place in Sherman Oaks together. The 5 bed, 6 bath, 4,668 sq. ft home comes with a pool, spa, built-in barbecue and outdoor fireplace. Translation: great party spot ... for a cool $2.185 million.
Sources close to the couple tell us they're just shopping for now, and haven't put in a bid on the pad.
Ariel bought a $1.5 million house in the same area last September, and she recently revealed Levi -- who stars on SyFy's "Aftermath" -- moved in with her. Sounds like they're ready to upgrade.

'Bachelor' Stars Nick & Vanessa DTLA's No Wisconsin or Montreal ... But It'll Do For Now!!
Nick Viall and fiancée Vanessa Grimaldi are ready to put down roots, and we've learned they're sticking in La La Land.
We've learned the 'Bachelor' couple's been looking in the trendy South Park neighborhood in downtown L.A. -- just a few blocks from Staples Center. So far, we know they took a liking to a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit in a 38-story luxury skyscraper. We're told they spent 45 minutes touring it.
They didn't sign on the dotted line because they want to check out a few more spots. Nick's current lease, courtesy of 'DWTS' -- is about to expire, so they've gotta move quickly.
During "The Bachelor" ... Nick insisted he'd return home to Milwaukee, and ditto for Vanessa and Montreal.
Look who's all Hollywood now.
