City Of Inglewood NFL Team Could Ram Housing Prices ... Through the Roof!

Published | Updated

Residents in Inglewood, CA are prepping for a REAL ESTATE BOOM if the owner of the L.A. Rams gets approval to build a new 80,000 seat stadium ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We know at least two homeowners association groups are holding meetings with residents this week with one clear message -- don't sell your homes!!!

As one resident tells us ... "They told us that with the Rams coming over to Hollywood Park, our property values will definitely go up."

Of course, the Rams-to-L.A. move is not a done deal yet (it will still need voter approval) ... but owner Stan Kroenke has announced plans to build a new stadium in Inglewood -- and he seems dead set on moving the team over ASAP.

The Mayor of Inglewood is fired up about the potential move as well ... earlier this week he told residents a new stadium could revolutionize the city, which has struggled with a less-than-stellar reputation over the years.

"The proposal [to build the stadium] if approved is another step along the way to potentially moving Inglewood from a City on the rise to a top tier metropolis," Mayor James T. Butts said.

This could be the perfect storm for Inglewood ... in addition to the NFL possibility, Google is moving in to a massive 12 acre compound just a few miles away which will further fuel prices in the Inglewood housing market.

Mack 10's so happy right now ...

Drake Bell I'll Never Shred Again ... And Here's Why

Published | Updated

Drake Bell's run-in with the bottom of a swimming pool is why his music career is now in jeopardy.

We now know why Drake came out this week and said doctors have given him the bad news ... he'll never play guitar again.

Drake was at his brother's house for a birthday party in November, horsing around in the pool when he dove in, not realizing the bottom was closer than he thought. Drake's wrist slammed into the concrete, shattering it.

Doctors performed surgery and rejiggered his wrist with plates and screws, and then put it in a cast.

The cast was removed last week and after eyeballing the results Drake's doctors told him he will never be able to play guitar again. Shredding is way too taxing for his limited mobility.

So Drake can still sing, but his act has always included a guitar, so now he's gotta hire someone and it may not be the same.

But Drake is still banking on a medical miracle, with the help of intensive physical therapy.

According to our sources, Luda popped the question to long time GF Eudoxie during the day ... then took her out to dinner at a Georgia restaurant. When they returned home, a wedding dress was draped over a piece of furniture.

This was all a surprise to Eudoxie, but she was game so they got married on the spot. A few friends and family members were there to celebrate.

BTW ... Luda's mom picked out the dress, and Eudoxie had no objections.

They blew out of town a day or so later for their honeymoon in Costa Rica.

Farrah Abraham Pays Dearly for Lip Service

Published | Updated

No, a backdoor didn't smack Farrah Abraham in the face ... she got what could well be the worst lip injections in the annals of medical history.

Farrah may look monsterish, but that didn't stop her from posting the pics online herself with the caption, "Girlfriends don't say I didn't warn ya ! #BOTCHED California #ER #fixit"

We're told Farrah was getting a new procedure, where the doctor puts an implant in the patients lip ... which in theory is cost effective because you don't have to maintain the work with fillers.

Farrah says she researched the doctor and the procedure and decided it was a safe bet. She was wrong. She says the doctors injected her with an anesthetic before the procedure ... and believes she had a MAJOR allergic reaction.

Farrah is no stranger to artificially enhancing body parts, but this takes the cake.

The "Backdoor Teen Mom" star tried to put a good face on it, comparing herself to Leela from "Futurama."

Stuart Scott Fought MMA With Chemo Port In His Chest

I JUST GOTTA DANCE

The NYPD is looking into why an officer got physical with a guy who was filming a viral video for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

The dancer is Alexander BOK, and he bills himself as "your favorite prankster" ... that is unless you're one of the cops he attempted to bust a move on in the middle of a NYC street.

On Christmas Eve, Alexander tried to film an Ellen Dance Dare video -- entrants are supposed to dance behind people who don't know they're doing it. Alexander decided to try it on some unwitting officers.

Watch the video ... the officers start out questioning what the hell Alexander's doing -- and it sounds like they hurl a few insults at him too. Eventually, it looks like the cops dismiss him ... and, as he's walking away, one throws him to the ground.

TMZ has learned NYPD has opened an investigation into the incident. What's unclear is why Alexander chose to pull this stunt four days after two NYPD officers were assassinated. Not a bright move.

Alexander tells TMZ he submitted his video to the show, but has yet to hear back.

NFL Star Antonio Cromartie My Car Vanished So My Wife Bought Me a Better One!

Published | Updated

Question: What happens when you're pimped out 1975 Chevy Caprice mysteriously goes missing?
Answer: You replace it with an even PIMPER one!

At least that's how problems are solved in Antonio Cromartie's household ... where the Arizona Cardinals star's wife just surprised him with a pretty bad ass classic whip.

Long story short ... Cromartie loves classic cars and had a customized '75 Caprice that he LOVED in San Diego back when he was with the Chargers. But when he left for the NY Jets, the car went missing.

Fast forward to 2014 ... Antonio's wife Terricka knew A.C. missed that car -- so she surprised him with a new one for Xmas ... a '73 Caprice with red leather interior, a soft-top roof and 20-inch custom rims with red trim.

"He had been looking for one for a while so I surprised him with it," Terricka tells us. We're told Antonio immediately fell in love with the car and already has plans to trick it out even more!

But when we asked how much cash she dropped on Antonio's new ride, she replied ... "Money doesn't matter. I love him and he deserves it."

They've already recorded one song together which they performed at a recent Kings game (see video below.)

"I look up to him musically," Anjali says ... "and I can't wait to make even more music with Tyga in the future."
