If Jason Kelce gets bored of sitting on the couch all day in retirement, he's got an open invite to take his talents to the squared circle... 'cause WWE Superstar The Miz tells TMZ Sports he wants to turn the Eagles legend into the next big thing in wrestling!!

We caught up with Miz out at LAX this week ... and asked if he expected a cameo appearance from Jason and his brother, Travis, when WrestleMania 40 makes its way to Philly, where the Eagles center played for 13 years.

Miz wouldn't spill any beans ... but said it would be a "home run" if they rolled through. He DID, however, admit he wants to lend his knowledge to the 36-year-old All-Pro center in preparation for a wrestling career.

"He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring -- not only with just the athleticism and the part of the wrestling, which I think he can absolutely do," Miz said this week.

"I watched him jump up at a Bills game from, like, down and jump up into a window, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this guy is 300 pounds, how did he do that? That’s incredible.'"

Outside of being an athletic specimen, Miz said Jason would be a natural on the mic ... which is just as important when it comes to wrestling.

Worth noting -- Miz helped Logan Paul (who's also from the Buckeye State) get his footing in the sport back in 2022 ... and now, the Maverick is one of the most popular names in WWE.

Miz previously flirted with the idea of the Kelces getting into wrestling ... saying back in December they'd be one helluva tag team.

It's clear Miz is at least hoping the Kelces check out WrestleMania in Philly next month ... but it may be a bit before we see them hop in the ring -- if ever. Although, Jason sported a luchador mask after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl ... so who knows!!

Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz is saying cheese to a massive sale, 'cause she's officially found a buyer for her swanky condo in NYC's West Village ... TMZ has learned.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Annie accepted an $8.5 million offer last Thursday for the pad she purchased in 2022 for $6.5 mil -- so she could be making a picture-perfect profit off the 2-bed, 3-bath condo, which also served as her photography studio.

With 3,198 square feet of living space and 60 feet of steel windows perfectly framing the Hudson River, it's no wonder it was her go-to photoshoot backdrop.

"Mighty Ducks" star Shaun Weiss knows how to get a crowd excited ... leading an audience in an iconic 'Ducks' chant -- and tossing out signed gear.

The actor/comedian -- best known as Goldberg the Goalie from the 'Ducks' trilogy -- hit up the House of Blues in Anaheim for country singer Niko Moon's tour.

Weiss & Moon are both former addicts, and we're told Moon wanted to highlight Weiss' recovery -- pointing to him as a "hometown hero" of sorts -- since the Anaheim Ducks, who actually got their name from the film series, play real close to the House of Blues.

Tom Sandoval's celebrating a milestone in a loud way ... blasting "Happy Birthday" on a trumpet -- and, we're told not everyone was diggin' it.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... there's Tom, right behind the bar at Fox Fire -- a local Los Angeles hot spot -- gettin' the place to quiet down before lifting up the brass and playing the first few notes.

Some of the crowd gets into it, singing along to the beginnings of the tune ... but, our sources say some of the people closer to the back weren't loving the serenade -- seemingly annoyed with TS.

BTW ... we're told Tom was with a lovely lady at the bar -- unclear what their relationship might be, but Sandoval is one of the most eligible bachelors around.

Also ... unclear where Tom got the trumpet from -- but, we don't imagine he's lugging it around on a bar crawl. So, it's possible the bar had one, and it was just calling his name.

Obviously, Tom's super talented ... he's the frontman of a pretty popular cover band "Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras" -- so, he's just proving once again he's got that talent for music.

FWIW ... Tom's talked about playing his trumpet before -- saying playing it's always a deep, meaningful expression of himself. Some of his costars were less enthusiastic.

Daisy de la Hoya received a helping hand from some fellow Hollywood stars who are also sober and familiar with what she experienced during a mental health breakdown.

Jennifer Gimenez, formerly of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" fame and her husband, Tim Ryan from A&E's "Dope Man" tell TMZ ...  they teamed up with actor Corey Feldman and his manager, Dave Altman to help get Daisy into a mental health treatment center.

Jennifer and Tim tell us Daisy's seeing a therapist daily and is going through the 12-step program. This, of course, comes after Daisy was accused of stalking "90 Day Fiancé" stars Mariah Fineman and Tom Brooks ... which she denies.

Jennifer and Tim say Daisy is journaling a lot, working on music, and has already acknowledged she had a problem -- which Jennifer and Tim say is a huge step in the right direction, and one that takes a whole lot to admit.

Corey's manager is currently caring for her dog.

Jennifer and Tim -- both recovering addicts who care for people in long-term recovery -- say Daisy was fragile when she entered treatment, but they're already seeing her turn the corner.

It's great to hear she's doing much better now ... all thanks to some great celeb friends!

Daisy de la Hoya recibió el apoyo de algunas estrellas de Hollywood que también están sobrias y familiarizadas con lo que experimentó durante una crisis emocional.

Jennifer Gimenez, ex participante de "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" y su marido, Tim Ryan, anfitrión de A&E le dicen a TMZ que se asociaron con el actor Corey Feldman y su manager Dave Altman para ayudar a conseguir un centro de salud mental donde Daisy pueda recibir tratamiento.

Jennifer y Tim nos dicen que Daisy está viendo a un terapeuta diariamente y pasando por el programa de 12 pasos. Esto, por supuesto, viene después de que Daisy fuera acusada de acosar a las estrellas de "90 Day Fiancé", Mariah Fineman y Tom Brooks, algo que ella niega.

Jennifer y Tim dicen que Daisy está escribiendo mucho, trabajando en la música y que ya es consciente de que tenía un problema, algo que Jennifer y Tim consideran un gran paso en la dirección correcta, pues significa mucho hacerlo.

El manager de Corey está actualmente cuidando de su perro. Nos dicen que la Fundación MusiCares está pagando por el tratamiento de Daisy.

Jennifer y Tim, que en el pasado tuvieron problemas de adicción y ahora ayudan a personas en recuperación, dicen que Daisy estaba muy frágil cuando comenzó el tratamiento, pero que ya la ven mucho mejor.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson gettin' his license to kill it as James Bond from a former 007 ... who tells us ATJ's got the toughness to handle the secret agent life.

George Lazenby -- who played Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" -- gave Aaron his seal of approval ... saying the 33-year-old can handle the stunts, and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.

Worth noting, Aaron's already got a leading lady of his own -- director/producer Sam Taylor-Johnson ... but we get where George is goin'.

Lazenby adds he's pretty sure Aaron doesn't have the part yet ... 'cause when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.

James Bond has gone totally international now, according to George ... who points out the character's been played by people of different nationalities over the past 60 years, including a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, multiple Englishmen, and George himself, who is Australian.

Because of that variety of national origins, Lazenby says he's fine with wherever the actor happens to hail from ... as long as they do the character justice.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson está recibiendo su licencia para matar como James Bond de parte de un ex 007, quien nos dice que el actor tiene la dureza para manejar al agente secreto.

George Lazenby, que interpretó a Bond en la película "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" de 1969, le dio su aprobación a Aaron, al decir que el actor de 33 años puede manejar las acrobacias y a las chicas que adoran a un hombre en esmoquin.

Cabe señalar que Aaron ya tiene su propia protagonista, la directora y productora Sam Taylor-Johnson... pero ya entendemos para dónde va George.

Lazenby añade que está bastante seguro de que Aaron aún no tiene el papel porque cuando se presentó a la audición para el rol en los años 60, pasó por un montón de pruebas y audiciones diferentes antes de ganarse el papel.

James Bond se ha vuelto totalmente internacional, según George, quien señala que en los últimos 60 años el personaje ha sido interpretado por personas de diferentes nacionalidades, incluyendo un escocés, un galés, un irlandés, varios ingleses y el propio George, que es australiano.

Debido a esa variedad de nacionalidades, Lazenby dice que no tiene problemas con que el actor sea de donde sea, siempre y cuando le haga justicia al personaje.

George también tiene algunos consejos para Aaron, por ejemplo, que el ganador del Globo de Oro debe sea fiel a sí mismo y reinvente el papel para adaptarlo a su estilo, al igual que hizo él cuando le tocó interpretarlo.

Por supuesto, George tomó el relevo del icónico actor Sean Connery, y el papel ha cambiado de manos un buen número de veces desde entonces, volviendo a Connery antes de Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan y Daniel Craig, quien dejó la franquicia después de su quinto filme como el agente 00 en 2021.

Ahora, Aaron Taylor-Johnson al parecer tiene una oferta para interpretar el papel, superando a otros actores como Idris Elba y Henry Cavill.

Mike Perry es la cara de BKFC, así que, le preguntamos, ¿cuál es tu pelea de ensueño a puño limpio?

Su respuesta... "¡Jake Paul!"

Perry, de 32 años, estuvo en Babcock en el programa de televisión "TMZ Sports" (se emite entre semana en FS1) desde la oficina de TMZ esta semana cuando le preguntamos quién residía en la parte superior de su lista de los mejores.

"Jake Paul, hombre", dijo Mike. "Si le hace daño a Mike Tyson, hermano, déjame conseguir eso, hermano".

Perry es un gran fan de Iron Mike Tyson, y obviamente, está listo para conseguir algo de venganza si "The Problem Child" lastima a Tyson en su pelea el 20 de julio en el scrap en AT & T Stadium en Texas.

Perry y Paul (9-1 como boxeador profesional) tienen algo de historia. Mike fue brevemente sparring de Jake en 2021 antes de su pelea con Ben Askren (Jake noqueó a la estrella retirada de las MMA). Basta con decir que los hombres tienen diferentes puntos de vista sobre quién sacó lo mejor del otro.

Pero, antes de empezar a soñar con un Perry vs Paul mega pelea, Mike tiene sus manos sin guantes lleno de Thiago Alves ... el veterano de deportes de combate que está listo para luchar con en Knucklemania 4 el 27 de abril en el Teatro Peacock.

Perry, que bien podría haber sido hecho para el boxeo sin guantes, va 4-0 en la promoción, con victorias sobre Eddie Alvarez, Julian Lane, Michael Venom Page, y Luke Rockhold.

Mike dice que planea mostrarse el próximo mes aún más peligroso... una propuesta aterradora.

Mike Perry's the face of BKFC ... so, we asked Platinum, what's your dream bare-knuckle fight?!

His answer ... "Jake Paul!"

32-year-old Perry sat down with Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weeknights on FS1) from the TMZ office this week when we asked him who resided at the top of his hit list.

"Jake Paul, man," Mike said ... "If he hurts Mike Tyson, bro, let me get that, bro."

Perry's a huge fan of Iron Mike Tyson, BTW ... and obviously stands ready to get some payback if The Problem Child hurts Tyson during their July 20th scrap at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Perry and Paul -- 9-1 as a pro boxer -- have some history. Mike briefly served as a sparring partner for Jake in 2021 before his fight with Ben Askren (Jake knocked out the retired MMA star). Suffice it to say, the men have different views on who got the best of the other.

But, before we start dreaming of a Perry vs. Paul mega fight, Mike has his gloveless hands full with Thiago Alves ... the combat sports vet he's set to scrap with at Knucklemania 4 on April 27 at the Peacock Theater.

Perry, who may well have been made for bare-knuckle boxing, is 4-0 in the promotion ... with wins over Eddie Alvarez, Julian Lane, Michael Venom Page, and Luke Rockhold.

Mike says he plans to show up next month in an even more dangerous form ... a scary proposition.

Bronny James might not have broken any scoring records during his freshman season at USC, but Metta World Peace isn't worried one bit about LeBron's son's potential at the next level ... telling TMZ Sports the young hooper has a promising future in the NBA.

Bronny's hopes of playing alongside his pops took a hit this season ... with critics pointing out his stats (4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists a game) don't necessarily scream top draft prospect.

Metta came to Bronny's defense when asked about the 19-year-old's impending decision to either stay in school or enter the draft this week ... saying, "He's only a freshman."

"A lot of people was talking about his numbers, but name a freshman that never averaged more than 4 or 5 and then had no chance going pro? Freshman numbers are freshman numbers."

Metta -- who played college basketball at St. John's in the late '90s -- believes Bronny already has some qualities that make him a pro, especially his selfless plays on the court ... but he just has to develop and mature a little more.

"I think he has a shot to be a really good point guard. A starting point guard," the former NBA star said. "Maybe even All-Star!"

Of course, LeBron thinks so, too ... even going as far as saying his son is better than some of the current NBA players he's been watching, calling it "lightweight hilarious."

For all you Mozart buffs out there, there's a piece of memorabilia up for grabs: his signature -- but here's the catch -- you need some seriously deep pockets if you want to snag it.

Gotta Have Rock and Roll has the legendary composer's signature up for auction -- and it's expected to fetch anywhere from $100k to a whopping $200k -- with the bidding kicking off at $75,000.

Mozart's signature, written in black ink, has been authenticated and graded (NM-MT 8) by PSA/DNA, the top dog in third-party authentication for autographs and memorabilia. So, rest assured, it's the real deal!

Mozart's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and he's widely regarded as the most influential Austrian composer of the Classical period ... and his musical legacy continues to resonate and inspire to this day.

Despite his short life -- he passed away at just 35 in 1791 -- Mozart's incredible productivity led to over 800 works spanning nearly every classical genre of his era.

Para todos los aficionados a Mozart, hay una pieza de memorabilia en subasta: su firma, pero para obtenerla hay que tener los bolsillos bien llenos.

Gotta Have Rock and Roll tiene la firma del legendario compositor para la subasta, y se espera que se vaya por $100k o $200k. Las ofertas comienzan en los $75.000.

La firma de Mozart escrita en tinta negra, ha sido autenticada y calificada (NM-MT 8) por PSA/DNA, la empresa líder en autenticación de autógrafos y objetos de interés. Por lo tanto, puede estar seguro de que es auténtica.

El nombre completo de Mozart era Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, y es ampliamente considerado como el compositor austriaco más influyente del período clásico, y su legado musical sigue resonando e inspirar a este día.

A pesar de su corta vida -falleció con solo 35 años en 1791-, la increíble productividad de Mozart dio lugar a más de 800 obras que abarcan casi todos los géneros clásicos de su época.

Celebrity jeweler Shuki International tells TMZ Sports he's willing to tear up his court judgment against Antonio Brown ... if the former NFL star simply gives him back his diamonds.

Shuki's been in a war with AB over the jewels for years -- writing in a lawsuit back in 2023 that the ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout borrowed his iconic "Shuki International" finger covers and other prized possessions in 2022 ... but never paid for them or returned them.

Shuki actually won the case against Brown last month after the footballer failed to fight the suit ... with a judge ordering AB to pony up $1,095,000 million.

But when we spotted Shuki out in LA this week ... he told us Brown hasn't paid yet -- nor has he attempted to give back the items.

Shuki said he actually had a conversation with Brown over it all -- and AB apparently made it clear to him "he's not going to pay."

"Which is OK," Shuki continued, "just tell him to bring back the rings so we can settle."

Shuki said he doesn't harbor any animosity toward Brown despite the tense situation -- in fact, he said if AB hops on a new music track with him, he might be willing to forgive the whole thing right then and there.

But, getting his items back is obviously priority No. 1 for the jeweler.

"'Hey, bring back the ring,'" Shuki said in a message to Brown. "'Be cool. Be nice. I love you like a brother. But I don't think it's fair to hold something that you don't own. Especially with a court order now.'"

Kanye West is asking major players in the music industry to respect his decision to go by his legally changed name "Ye" ... TMZ has learned.

In a letter obtained by TMZ ... Kanye's chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, fires off a strong message to big players in the music industry -- including streamers, publishers, lyric websites and more -- with a demand that the rapper be referred to as Ye moving forward.

As Milo puts it ... Kanye didn't come to the decision to change his name lightly, as he is aware he's sacrificing brand value that comes with "Kanye West." Still ... the Grammy winner considers it a "slave name" and wants to ditch the moniker across all platforms.

He adds ... "Ye is a Black man in America who wants the right to full self-determination just like everyone else."

Remember ... Kanye officially changed his name to Ye back in October 2021. The artist had a judge sign off on him adopting his longtime nickname as his legal moniker years after speaking in favor of the name's Biblical ties.

Kanye told radio host Big Boy in 2018 that he preferred Ye since it was the most commonly used word in the Bible -- which wasn't actually an accurate statement, FWIW.

Still, Ye isn't the first artist to change their name ... as Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Prince, Bow Wow and Ke$ha have all switched up their public personas in the past.
