We're told the Ball family patriarch underwent a recent procedure to have his right foot removed ... but despite it all, he is in great spirits and doing well.

LaVar made a name for himself with his grandiose plans for his sons -- he created the Big Baller Brand, which developed signature shoes for all three hoopers.

Cardi B's voluptuous Valentine's Day with NFL star Stefon Diggs didn't disrupt the rap queen's scheduled family time -- on the contrary, she hosted a grand feast that made her server's night!!!

Sources tell TMZ Hip Hop Cardi rolled up with a large crew to White Horse Tavern, one of the oldest pubs in Manhattan's West Village. It's a living artifact -- established in 1880!!!

"The UK's Hottest MILF" and OnlyFans creator Chrissie Wunna is scared for her life after she says a mystery man has shown up at her West Yorkshire home -- and attempted to gain entry -- several times over the last week.

She claims to TMZ the pictured hooded person has routinely trespassed on her property and banged on her front and back doors ... and even went as far as climbing up the side of her house to aggressively knock on a window in hopes of grabbing her attention.

Chrissie -- who temporarily relocated herself and her two young kids to a hotel as a safety precaution -- says she's grown accustomed to getting recognized in public, and even has fans lining up at her door with gifts ... but she calls this "next level."

Ryan Serhant and his wife are in it for better or for worse, he says ... 'cause despite online speculation about their marriage coming to an end, TMZ has learned their union is still intact.

The real estate reality TV star is addressing speculation and rumors about his marriage floating around Reddit claiming he and his wife, Emilia Bechrakis, were heading for divorce ... because fans noticed he hadn't posted photos with her on his Instagram in a while.

However, all is well between the two -- because the Netflix star tells TMZ ... "We are still very happily married! Celebrating 14 years together. And yes she still puts up with me 😆."

Kim Zolciak says her estranged husband needs psychological help ... and is asking a court to appoint medical professionals to evaluate Kroy to see if he has CTE.

Zolciak claims Kroy -- who played football in the NFL for 8 years -- regularly devolves into profanity-laced outbursts about her in the presence of their four minor children ... and has even used physical violence against her. She's also accusing him of "extreme sexual promiscuity."

Blake Lively's new allegations against Justin Baldoni are missing one critical thing -- cold hard proof he did her wrong ... at least that's how Justin's attorney is reading the documents.

Bryan Freedman tells TMZ, he found Blake's amended lawsuit -- filed late Tuesday night -- "underwhelming" when it comes to any new facts or anything damning against his client.

Freedman says the suit is "filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims." He adds that his clients -- Baldoni, his publicists, and Wayfarer Studios -- "have been transparent in providing receipts, real time documents and video showing a completely different story than what has been manipulated and cherry picked to the media."

A$AP Rocky dodged a guilty verdict this week, but one juror isn’t personally letting him off that easy -- saying she believes a crime may have been committed, but other factors kept him from being convicted.

Freelance journalist Nique Laclaire spoke with a juror after Rocky’s not-guilty verdict Tuesday, and the woman revealed some jurors -- made up of 7 women and 5 men -- did believe the alleged prop gun was actually a real firearm ... but "Unfortunately they didn't have enough evidence to convict on the charges that were handed down to us."

The juror said it was "kind of a little mysterious the way it disappeared and they couldn't produce it as evidence."

Blake Lively says Justin Baldoni not only sexually harassed her, but he also made two other women feel "uncomfortable" on the set of "It Ends With Us," and both are willing to testify against him at trial, according to a new court filing.

Last night, Blake filed an amended complaint to her original lawsuit against Baldoni, which lays out new allegations that paint Justin in a negative light.

In the 141-page document, Blake says she was "not alone" in complaining about Baldoni and raising concerns about his behavior during their work together on the movie produced by Sony and Wayfarer starting in 2023.

He broke it down on "TMZ Live" Tuesday, saying Black people are still at a disadvantage even after integration -- pointing to issues like "white flight" and underfunded Black schools.

D.L. doubled down that integration was necessary because Black schools were severely underfunded -- but once schools did start integrating, white kids left, taking resources with them ... basically canceling it out.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann can finally shut the door on their Georgia mansion saga -- it’s officially sold, more than a year after it hit the market ... TMZ has learned.

The Milton mansion, originally listed for $6 million amid their messy 2023 divorce, finally found a buyer for $2.75 million last month ... after what felt like an eternity of price cuts and auction threats.

They may not have gotten their asking price, but since they bought the mansion for under $900K in 2012, they still made a profit -- and that's a win considering their ongoing financial situation.
