12:00 PM PT -- 12/15 -- Jake Paul is upping his trolling antics -- pulling up on MMA fighter Dillon Danis in L.A. in hopes of baiting him into a fight.
12:00 PM PT -- Paul was sitting in the back off pick up truck and when he spotted Danis on the sidewalk in L.A., he fired toilet paper rolls at Dillon while the truck sped off.

Dillon gave chase to no avail. Jake later tweeted, "Caught the biggest sh*t talker slacking @dillondanis you gotta check in when you come to La."
4:55 PM PT -- 12/14 -- Dana White has responded -- telling TMZ Sports bluntly, "I'm thinking of letting Amanda Nunes knock his ass out."
"Conor, you're scared. Dana, you're scared. Sign the f**king contract, you idiots."
Jake Paul is pulling out all the stops to book a boxing match with Conor McGregor ... going nuclear on the UFC superstar and Dana White in a wild video on Monday.
Oh, and get this -- the YouTube superstar says his team has offered Conor $50 MILLION to make the fight happen!!
"My team sent you a $50 million dollar offer this morning -- 50 million dollars cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you've ever been offered," Paul says while sitting in his $350,000 Lamborghini.
"But, you're scared to fight me, Conor!! You're ducking me because you don't wanna lose to a f**king YouTuber. You're 0-1 as a boxer. I'm 2-0 as a boxer."
Jake seems to be channeling his inner Notorious throughout the video ... smoking a cigar and holding a glass of whiskey with an Irish flag draped over his shoulders.
While the $50 million number sounds crazy, Paul posted parts of the contract sent to Conor's camp, which says, "Jake Paul has acquired backing for this event who is willing to guarantee a purse of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) for Conor McGregor to participate in this event."
Jake backs up his talk ... pointing out how big of a success his fight with ex-NBA star Nate Robinson was on the Mike Tyson and Roy Jones, Jr. card.
"I just came off the 8th biggest Pay-Per-View event in history but you wanna fight Dustin (Poirier), who has less followers on Instagram than my f**king dog -- that's a fact."
Remember, Jake recently told TMZ Sports he was in talks with McGregor's camp after knocking out Robinson last month ... but Dana told us there was "zero chance" it would happen.
Clearly, Jake got wind of our interview with the UFC honcho.
"Dana White, you're a f**king p***y, too, you ugly f**king bald bitch! You said there's 0% chance this fight happening, but there's 0% chance of you getting some f**king p***y."
We're reaching out to Dana for comment -- stay tuned.

Lil Wayne Strikes Deal with Feds ... Pleads Guilty in Handgun Case

Lil Wayne just pled guilty in federal court to illegally possessing a loaded weapon while traveling to Miami on a private jet.
The feds say an anonymous tip led them to Wayne's PJ at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on December 23, 2019, and when they boarded to speak to the passengers ... Wayne told them he had a gun in his bag.
Police say they found a gold-plated Remington 1911, .45-caliber handgun loaded with 6 rounds of ammunition. They also claim they found a bag containing personal use amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone.
Lil Wayne pled guilty to the gun charge Friday in Miami, and his sentencing is scheduled for next month. Weezy, who was convicted of a felony gun charge in NY back in 2009, is now facing up to 10 years in prison.
However, he's likely to get leniency. Our sources say Wayne agreed to the guilty plea and in exchange, the government agreed to recommend a lighter sentence because he's accepting responsibility. Ultimately, his sentence will be up to a judge, but it's a good sign for Tunechi.
We broke the story ... the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida hit the rapper with the federal weapons charge in November.

You make it to the NBA, you get iced out ... and that's exactly what LaMelo Ball did -- copping an incredibly shiny diamond grill to kick off his rookie season!!
Of course, the youngest Ball bro. already knows how to be a pro -- he played in Lithuania and Australia before going #3 overall to the Charlotte Hornets last month.
But, making it to the Association calls for a BIG "treat yo self" moment ... so the 19-year-old enlisted AP The Jeweler from Atlanta to come up with an unforgettable piece.
AP tells TMZ Sports ... Melo eventually decided last month it was time to get his first grill, so he got Ball's mold and went straight to work.
The finished product is a pair of 14k white gold chompers (8 top teeth, 8 bottom) with VVS diamonds in a honeycomb set.
As for how many rocks?? AP tells us it's "The most diamonds I've ever put in a grill."
We're told AP personally flew to Charlotte to hand-deliver the finished product on Monday ... and the dude is jacked about the finished product.
Welcome to the league, rook!!

NASA Sends Holiday Resupply to ISS ... Fresh Fruit/Grub for Xmas!!!

NASA sent a massive goody bag of supplies and treats up into space this week to help their astronauts out for the holidays -- and we found out what they're noshing on!!!
A rep for NASA tells TMZ ... part of the resupply load, aboard a SpaceX capsule, that docked at the International Space Station Monday were thousands of pounds of cargo for scientific research -- and also some fresh grub.
We're told among some of the fresh food items -- which is a rare treat in space, since most everything is either freeze-dried or thermostabilized -- was a bunch of fruit. Sounds basic, but in space ... even a first bite at the apple is something to savor for these expeditions.
Some of that produce included Gala apples, navel and blood oranges, mandarin oranges, and ... lemons!!! Hey, when life gives 'em to you, gotta make the most of it right???
We're told there were also some holiday-themed hot foods sent up as well -- which are all probably arriving in some type of airtight packaging, a la Tang.
Among that lot, NASA says it shipped stuff like cherry blueberry cobbler, cornbread dressing, cranapple dessert, jellied cranberry sauce, macaroni & cheese, potatoes au gratin, roasted turkey, shortbread cookies, southwestern corn, sparkle gel, spicy green beans, french vanilla cappuccino and wheat flatbread. Mmmm -- space munchies 😁.
BTW, these are the same astronauts that were shot up into the sky a few short weeks ago in another SpaceX Dragon capsule. So, they're probably due to a fresh shot of fuel.
As for any gifts ... NASA's mum, saying they don't wanna get ahead of Claus. Fair enough -- hopefully it's something like PS5 ... something most earthlings can't even get their hands on.

A man who tried to flag down cops to assist with a car accident is now hospitalized after deputies tased him -- but cops say they took him down because of how he was acting.
L.A. County Sheriff's deputies were responding to the car crash Tuesday when the man ran into the street and blocked their patrol car. People on the scene say the man was trying to get the cops' attention for the accident victims.
However, law enforcement sources tell us the man got hostile when deputies got out to speak with him ... so they tased him. In the video, you see another man run out of a nearby house and yell, "He's not in his right mind" ... referring to the man who was being tased.
Deputies also took down the second guy, slamming him to the ground ... without deploying a taser. We're told both men -- who are related -- were taken to a hospital to be evaluated for injuries. While the second man was cited for battery and obstruction and released ... we're told the guy who was tased is still in the hospital.
The entire incident is under investigation by the Sheriff's Dept. due to the use of force.

Dallas Restaurant Owner Scolds Women for Twerking at Table ... Claims it's Not 'Classy'

Exclusive Details

A Black restaurant owner went off on a section of mostly Black women after one of them got up at their booth and twerked ... and now he's getting dragged AND applauded, while also defending his actions.
The incident went down at a joint called TRUE Kitchen + Kocktails -- it opened just 5 months ago -- when the owner, Kevin Kelley, says multiple women got up and danced on their chairs up against a glass wall.
Kevin just wasn't having it and decided to loudly let everyone in the restaurant know about his ground rules, which several people recorded. You see him walk over to one of the twerkers and shut her down.
The excuses are that if a restaurant doesn't want patrons to hop on furniture and twerk against the walls then they shouldn't serve alcohol or play music.
— justincredible (@SoCalJCred) November 30, 2020 @SoCalJCred
That is actually being said... by adults.
(Look at this ridiculous behavior)
pic.twitter.com/uKDo8jYofn https://t.co/b4AvT2sVuF
Another video shows him lecturing women in that section of the restaurant ... which many did not dig. He said he doesn't wanna see that type of behavior in his establishment, and that if they don't like it ... get out.
Now, we talked to Kevin on "TMZ Live" Monday, and pressed him on what exactly he had a problem with -- twerking, in general ... or the fact that it was happening in his building? He insisted it was the latter, noting there was a time and place for that type of dancing.
However, watch what he says about "classy and nice Black women" at his restaurant because it's at the heart of the backlash -- the insinuation being twerking doesn't fit that description ... for him.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
You can watch and judge for yourself, but long story short -- his tone didn't sit right with a lot of people who feel TRUE bumping music, serving booze and promoting itself like clubs do make it ripe for dancing.
Kevin did apologize for using profanity during his speech, but he's standing his ground on twerking.

J. Law's Family Summer Camp Farm Devastated by Fire in Kentucky ... Brother Asks for Help

Exclusive Details

The summer day camp that Jennifer Lawrence's family runs on a farm in Kentucky was struck by a massive fire -- and her brother is asking for help to recoup what they lost ... which was quite a bit.
Camp Hi-Ho in Simpsonville was engulfed in flames late Friday night -- with their main barn on the property being reduced to rubble and ashes. The barn served as a sanctuary for a number of activities and attractions the Lawrences put on for kids each summer ... not to mention living and workspaces they themselves used.
TMZ has obtained an email that J. Law's brother -- owner and director of Camp Hi-Ho, Blaine Lawrence -- sent to parents of campers past ... and it details exactly what was destroyed in the fire, which was a lot more than just a mere barn.
He writes that the barn housed an office space he used, plus a separate apartment the Lawrences often utilized personally. Not only that, but it encompassed the stalls for their horses, the indoor riding area for kids, an indoor rock wall they had, a native wildlife display center, an arts and crafts pavilion, a garage loaded with farm equipment a new nurse station ... and more. All of that is gone.
Thankfully, Blaine says there's still a lot that wasn't taken in the fire -- including their outdoor sports court, their tree fort space, their pet barn, the lake area, the archery range, the animal pastures and outdoor horse-riding trails, a hen house and other campsites.
While Blaine is thankful to still have those parts of the camp intact -- on top of not losing a single animal or human life -- he notes that he and the family are still devastated. On that note, he vows to rebuild and open again for summer 2021.

Blaine also asks for community donations via a fundraiser or a 501(c)(3), and for families to sign up and come back to camp, noting he'll do whatever is in his power to make the place like new. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
One last thing ... Jennifer herself is no stranger to the farm -- sounds like it's been in her family for years now, and she's made a visit or two since getting famous.

A man in Texas screamed for his father during a violent arrest that went down on his parents' front door ... and it was all recorded on their doorbell security camera.
The video starts with the driver, Zekee Rayford, pulling into a driveway. You can hear cops telling him to get down on the ground, but he runs to the front door. Officers gave chase, and Rayford started yelling for his dad before cops took him down by kneeing him and tasing him.
The arrest went down late Monday night in Schertz, a San Antonio suburb, and cops tell TMZ ... they attempted to stop Rayford for running a traffic light. Instead, they say he kept driving until he got to the home owned by his parents.
Schertz PD claim Rayford fled when they tried to apprehend him, and as we see in the video ... that's when the struggle began, and the Taser was deployed. Cops did not mention any other use of force, although you can clearly see them tussling and kneeing Rayford. In the video, you also hear one of the officers threaten to tase the man who eventually opened the front door and questioned cops' use of force.
We're told Rayford was charged with felony evading in a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, and possession of marijuana. Schertz PD says it's launched an internal investigation to ensure policies and procedures were followed.
Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump -- who reps Breonna Taylor's family -- weighed in on the video, saying, Zekee "was allegedly being pulled over nearby but drove home to have his dad present ... EXTREME force was NOT necessary. We need police reform."
