We told you it was comin' ... and now Nike has made it official -- Manny Pacquiao has been FIRED over his anti-gay comments.

Nike issued a statement saying, "We find Manny Pacquiao's comments abhorrent."

Despite being the 6th leading scorer in the NBA, Damian Lillard didn't make the All-Star squad ... and he's venting about it in a brand new rap song.

The Portland Trail Blazers star just dropped "They Sleep" under his rap moniker Dame D.O.L.L.A. -- in which he spits the line:

"I ain't make the all-stars but I’m flu game sick ... Last time they count me out, what I do Game 6?"

There's more ... Lillard also brags about getting his college degree (he graduated from Weber State) and his sick shoe game.

We asked Damien about the song -- he told us, "It's just a break in the season and how I've been feeling. My thoughts. That's all."

You can hear the entire song here ... it's fire.

Lil Wayne got paid $60,000 to make a very special appearance at Ace of Diamonds strip club after the Grammys, but he immediately spread that wealth around ... to a special lady.

Wayne strolled in and immediately got some face time with a stripper named NoForeign. They chatted at his table before she was called to the pole.

Wayne was laser-focused enjoying her performance -- then literally threw two bricks of cash worth $12,000 onstage for NoForeign and her comrade in heels, Malaaysiaaaa.

Wayne posted a hot pic of NoForeign a few weeks ago, so pretty clear Weezy was on a mission. And if $12k doesn't sound like that much ... that's a nice fat 20 percent tip off his appearance fee.

Kind and fiscally sound.

Aaron Carter's looking less tween idol and more "Sons of Anarchy" these days thanks to some fresh ink on his neck ... and that's just the start.

Carter went into Chapter X Tattoo in Orange, CA last week and got the word "love" and flames tatted across the left side of his neck. We're told it's a tribute to his upcoming album.

He dropped around $500 on the 3 hour session -- and there's way more to come. Sources close to the singer tell us he's been doing 10 hour sessions almost daily, attempting to ink his whole body.

And we're told the plan includes a face tatt. There ya have it -- from Disney to Mike Tyson in 16 short years.

Jimmy Iovine and Liberty Ross celebrated their wedding Sunday night with an insane celebrity guest list ... and perhaps the all-time greatest wedding band performances.

The party went down at David Geffen's Beverly Hills mansion and since Iovine is the co-founder of Interscope Records, the talent was ridiculous -- we're told Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz performed. But the main event was Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett's duet on the jazz classic, "It Don't Mean a Thing."

The Valentine's night event was packed with A-list couples such as Oprah and Stedman, Ellen and Portia, Tom Hanks and Rita and Pharrell and Helen Williams. All guests were asked to wear red for the occasion.

No traditional first dance for Jimmy and Liberty ... who instead opted to share the floor with their guests late into the night.

They officially tied the knot with a beach wedding on Saturday.

When Fetty Wap reps his crew, he reps 'em hard ... as in a brand new $70,000 diamond and gold chain hard.

We found out Fetty commissioned Elliot Avianne from Avianne & Co. jewelers in NYC to make a custom RGF Island emblazoned medallion. It's held together by 14 carat gold Cuban links blanketed with 35 carats of diamonds!

Fetty picked up the piece this week and owner Joe Avianne says the "RGF Island" is a reference to the rapper's single from his self titled debut album and his label.

If you ain't beefin' bout the money, then what's the problem?

Lil Wayne's got more lien problems ... this time it involves his 2014 tax bill.

Uncle Sam says he did not pay $868,000 in federal taxes that year, according to docs.

It's a ton of dough, to most of us, but as tax liens go ... Weezy's seen bigger. He was previously hit with a $12 million lien for several years of unpaid taxes.

Wayne was in arrears as of mid-January. It's possible he's already paid it off. We reached out to his camp, but no word back yet.

Motorhead frontman Lemmy is one huge step closer to returning to his favorite watering hole again -- his life-sized bronze monument is now fully funded.

TMZ spoke to artist Travis Moore who says he's already started work on the tribute that's going up at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood. Travis, a die hard Lemmy fan, agreed to waive his artist fee -- but a crowdfunding page was started to pay for materials.

As of Wednesday, they've got $20k!

On Wednesday, Travis started assembling an 18-inch clay miniature which will be used to model the final 6 foot tall sculpture.

And here's a bonus for all crowdfunding donors -- the owner of the Rainbow tells us their names will be plastered in the club, right behind bronzed Lemmy. They're aiming for a May unveiling.

Kristin Cavallari's family says her brother Michael suffered from extreme paranoia leading up to his fatal disappearance in Utah ... fearing a Mexican gang member was after him.

According to the Grand Co. Sheriff's report -- obtained by TMZ -- Michael Cavallari's mother Judy told cops he was diagnosed as bipolar and had recently claimed a gang member was out to get him.

Michael's car was found a few days after he went missing ... with 2 cell phones, a laptop and a golf bag containing $18k in cash inside. One possible explanation for all that loot -- the report says he'd just inherited $24k from a grandmother.

Kris Jenner is portrayed in 'The People v O.J. Simpson' as someone who fiercely believes O.J. murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and is angry that ex-husband Robert Kardashian is defending him ... and we know the sentiment is real.

The promo for next week's show has a scene where Kris angrily confronts Robert. Our sources -- definitely in a position to know -- say Kris did indeed have angry exchanges with her ex and believed strongly from the minute she found out Nicole was murdered that O.J. did it.

Kris was very close to Nicole and knew O.J. well. She and a group of friends who were close to Nicole all shared the same sentiment.

The "Family Feud" contestant Steve Harvey ripped for delivering the "worst answer ever" ... says she's positive she's NOT the worst -- although proving it might be difficult.

Sheila Patterson tells TMZ ... her phone's been ringing off the hook since Steve posted a clip of her multiple, hysterical attempts to answer, "What's another way people say mother?"

The clip of Sheila trying to pass off previous answers by changing inflection or adding a Spanish accent has gone viral. She admits she cracked under the pressure of being in front of a live audience.

But as a longtime fan of the show, she insists she's seen much worse responses. We asked her to give us an example ... Sheila drew a blank.

Must be her thing.

Several locks of John Lennon's hair are on the auction block, and even though it's already going for five figures ... it's a steal as Lennon memorabilia goes.

Heritage Auction out of Dallas is hawking a 4-inch chunk of John's hair -- a hairdresser cut it off before his role in a 1967 movie called, "How I Won The War" -- and the current bid is at $12k.

Past Lennon items have gone for way more than that: his '65 Rolls Royce Phantom V sold for $2.23 MILLION, and Lennon's handwritten lyrics to "All You Need is Love" fetched $1.25 million.

So chances are the price on Lennon's locks will go through the roof too. Get your bids in now!

Teresa Giudice is a shoo-in for season 7 of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' but 3 other women are suddenly unemployed ... TMZ has learned.

Our production sources tell us Dina Manzo and the twins Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano all got the ax.

No word yet on who will fill the vacancies ... we're told Bravo's currently shopping for other housewives.

As of now, Teresa's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, and former member cast member Jacqueline Laurita are the only others locked in ... but it's gonna be the Teresa show all the way.

The Denver Police Dept. says it's PROUD of Broncos Nation -- saying they only made 12 Super Bowl celebration arrests in Denver Sunday night ... with NO major injuries.

We spoke with Officer Tyrone Campbell who tells us overall "people behaved themselves amazingly" ... but said there were some people who "acted silly."

As for the arrests ... Officer Campbell says there were a few weapons arrests, some criminal mischief busts, a couple nailed for lighting small fires and a few other popped for cop car damage.

No riots, no widespread mayhem.

Dave Matthews Band rocked San Fran Thursday night at a killer pre-Super Bowl party.

DIRECTV & Pepsi sponsored the concert on Pier 70 to kickoff the 50th Super Bowl weekend.

The party was aptly titled "Super Thursday Night" and it will continue through Sunday featuring Pharrell Williams and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

As if free booze wasn't kind enough, the party was catered by celeb hotspot steakhouse STK offering sweet corn pudding cups, candied bacon cones, and Captain Crunch Cookies. Captain Crunch Cookies!

Jim Brown did it big for his 80th bday Thursday night -- with tons of HUGE STARS showing up to party ... and toasting the NFL legend with some of the most expensive booze at the bar!

It all went down at the St. Regis in San Fran -- where stars like Ray Lewis, Emmitt Smith, Ronnie Lott, Ludacris and Swizz Beatz and more partied at the event thrown by Haute Living.

But the highlight was the group toast ... where 100 people each raised a glass of Louis XIII cognac -- which goes for $350 per shot at the hotel.

There's more ... Brown was also presented with a painting from street artist MadSteez ... a painting that had been sold for $25,000.

In the end, we're told the event raised $100k for Brown's charity

Congrats!!
