Brett Favre is fact-checking a recent report on his health ... saying while his Parkinson's has progressed, he is by no means throwing in the towel.

A popular sports social media account stated this week the Gunslinger has "given up hope" amid his battle with the disease ... an erroneous post that reached nearly two million sets of eyeballs.

We reached out to 56-year-old Brett ... and he scoffed at the idea he's accepting defeat.

Hafthor Bjornsson says he's going to break the world deadlifting record -- a title he already holds -- at the Enhanced Games on May 24 in Sin City ... where he'll attempt to pull more than 1,124 LBs!

The question is, how much more weight could the 6'9", ~440 LB World's Strongest Man champ possibly lift?! The answer is shocking.

"I truly believe that I am capable of pulling, if I want to, if my desire really wants to, I can pull this record to 550 [kg]," Thor told Babcock on TMZ Sports.

FYI, that's 1,212.5 LBs for us Americans!

"M3GAN" needs a good lawyer ... not to defend her murderous rampage, but to defend her creators from allegedly ripping off another movie.

Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Pictures, James Wan and screenwriter Akela Cooper have been sued by a man named Carl Watts -- a former airline pilot and amateur filmmaker -- who claims their movie bears numerous similarities to his movie "Paranormal Adoption," released in 2012.

According to Watts, both films feature a girl orphaned at a young age who develops a strong attachment to a doll that grows violent toward other people in the girl's life when they try to get in between the doll and the girl.

Watts also points to the sequel potential of both films -- leaving the possibility of more rampage open at the end of each film -- as another defining characteristic.

Diddy's got a big payday problem, as in some of his employees are angry they're not getting paid while he's locked up in federal prison ... but his rep insists he has it under control.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy's fortune is being handled by business management firm Tri Star Sports & Entertainment while he's in the clink, and we're told they're keeping a tight leash on his money -- too tight for some people on the payroll.

For instance, we're told some attorneys handling Diddy’s mountain of civil lawsuits have gone unpaid, and other staffers have been stiffed as well, and, as a result, at least one of them has quit.

Mary J. Blige can bank on at least a partial victory ... now that the lawsuit filed by her former sidekick Misa Hylton has been dismissed in New York court!!!

According to docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Blige and her legal squadron of Lisa Moore and Andrew Pequignot were granted the motion to dismiss the suit Hylton filed back in July 2025 ... without prejudice.

Which means, Hylton can still pursue sanctions against the megastar singer if she chooses, but her lack of movement -- after Blige labeled the lawsuit "frivolous" -- suggests there will be no more drama.

Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean have whipped up speculation that something is going on between them ... and TMZ has learned there's for sure a spark.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... the WWE star and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback have been spending some time together and even been on dates ... but Nikki is still very single and enjoying life.

We hear there's definitely a mutual attraction there -- but again, it's casual -- and NB's primary focus is on her career and raising her son, Matteo.

The rumors have been swirling for a few weeks that something might be going on between the two after Nikki went to a couple of Eagles games ... rockin' Cooper's jersey!

The sprawling property, which Bob purchased in April 2021 for $12.5 million, sits privately inside a guard-gated community, perched on a prime hilltop knoll with extraordinary, unobstructed views and next-level privacy. There's also a separate 2-bedroom guest house for visitors.

JasonMartin is putting his foot down after hearing Adin Ross call Doechii a "bitch" one too many times ... the culture's not going for it in 2026!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with JM in L.A. this week, and he says Adin being aggressively addressed is vital to preventing outsiders of Black culture from toeing the line in the future.

Adin maintains Doechii targeted him on her new track, "Girl, Get Up," when she blasted people labeling her "an industry plant" ... and blamed Complex magazine for helping fuel the fire.

Joe Budden, Glasses Malone, Wack 100, and Top Dawg Entertainment execs have all chimed in on Adin's comments, and Jason says it's bigger than internet tough talk ... and won't allow Adin to hide behind religion or freedom of speech to drag Black women.

Jenny McCarthy is getting nostalgic over the show that put her on the pop-culture map, recalling her breakout moment on "Singled Out" at MTV ... a sweet throwback that hits a little different now that the channel’s gone dark.
