Mama June is adding a son-in-law to her brood.

June tells us her 16-year-old daughter Pumpkin is engaged to her boyfriend of 9 months, Joshua Efird. He popped the question 2 days before Christmas, complete with a ring, during dinner at a seafood restaurant.

June says she approves of 19-year-old Joshua, mostly because he's cool with taking things slow ... as in Ciara-Russell Wilson slow. Yes, the teenagers say they're saving themselves for marriage.

We know what you're thinking, but they don't HAVE to wait. Age of consent is 16 in GA. Still, they don't plan on getting hitched until Pumpkin's 18.

We'd say they grow up so fast, but ...

Pacman Jones can hold on to that Oscar ... or Grammy ... 'cause Antonio Brown's father insists his son is NO ACTOR ... and didn't fake hurt after taking that shot from Vontaze Burfict.

TMZ Sports spoke with Eddie Brown who tells us he has already checked in with the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver to make sure he's okay after taking a shot to the head during Saturday's playoff game.

"He is doing well. I talked to him but I didn't go into detail. I just wanted to make sure he was okay. That was my biggest concern as a father and parent."

We asked what he thought about Pacman accusing his son of faking hurt -- and Eddie told us the thought of Antonio bluffing an injury is simply unfathomable.

"It's not in his character. I don't have to defend him because you can just look at his track record. Check his and then check the track record of the ones accusing him ... he's taken big hits before and he's gone right back to the huddle."

We also asked if he thought Burfict should be punished by the league for the hit:

Deion Sanders is putting his face front and center in the fashion game ... and it's generating big bucks for his son's clothing line.

Deion Sanders Jr. is the creative force behind Well Off, a streetwear clothing brand ... and its bestseller is a t-shirt with Dad's iconic Jheri curled image from the 1989 NFL draft.

Deion Jr. -- who's currently playing football at SMU -- tells TMZ Sports, he chose the image because it represents his brand to a tee ... "Well Off is about being that way mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and financially. That picture just showed [dad's] hard work had paid off."

Sanders Jr. says Deion and his mother, Carolyn, chipped in to help him get started. So, it couldn't hurt to put the main investor on some gear. By the way, since Jr. is an NCAA athlete ... his sister handles the money for Well Off.

File this one under: Kid's Say The Darndest Things.

Lenny Dykstra's son Cutter must be a summa cum laude graduate of Keepin' It Real University ... and not even family is immune to his straight talk.

Cutter was leaving The Nice Guy in Hollywood with his wife -- Jamie-Lynn Sigler -- when we asked if he thought his dad should join Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza in Cooperstown.

Teri Hatcher scored major cool points with daughter Emerson Tenney when they hit up a tattoo parlor.

Teri, who's 51 by the way, and her 18-year-old stopped short of getting new ink, opting instead for new ear piercings at T-Man Tattoo shop in Studio City.

We're told it was for a good cause ... the mom-daughter duo were celebrating Emerson reaching her fundraising goal for Child Life playrooms at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

Teri's not just a cool mom, she's also a good tipper. She left $20 on a $73 tab -- better than most.

"Mike & Molly" star Billy Gardell will be an out of work actor when his show goes off the air soon ... but for Billy, it just means more free time to spend with puppies!

Gardell -- who plays Mike -- and his fam adopted a puppy this weekend from Wylder's Holistic Pet Center in Studio City, CA. Billy and his wife stopped by Sunday to just look but their son fell in love with a pup and they caved.

They named the cocker mix Buzz and dropped around a grand on the pooch and dog supplies.

CBS announced last month "Mike & Molly" has been cancelled after six seasons. The first episode of the last season aired Wednesday night.

Andre Iguodala doesn't need any specifics about where his 6-year-old daughter lives -- as long as she stays in the nice, safe, white neighborhood she's in now ... this according to Andre himself.

The Golden State Warriors star didn't have much to say when he got him outside the L.A. courthouse, after he testified in his child support battle with baby mama Clayanna Warthen. Her attorney asked Andre if he'd spent any time inside the Sherman Oaks, CA apartment where she and the daughter, London live now.

His priceless response -- he's sure it's a good home because "he sees white people walking around, and in his experience that means it's pretty safe." We're told he was joking, and the judge even laughed.

Andre was also asked about Warthen's claim ... that he didn't want London playing basketball because she'll become a lesbian. Iguodala clarified that he knows WNBA players who are lesbians, and he simply didn't want his daughter to experience "the same struggles" they have.

Steven Avery's brother Chuck says it's a scurrilous lie that he murdered Teresa Halbach.

Chuck tells TMZ he was pissed off when Steven filed legal docs in 2009 making the accusation.

As we reported, Steven pointed the guilty finger at his brothers, claiming one of them may well have brutally taken Teresa's life. Steven cited their history of sexually assaulting women, and claimed Chuck had been stalking women who visited the junkyard within a month of the murder.

And Steven alleged Chuck once attacked his wife and tried strangling her with a phone cord.

Chuck says the accusations on his ex-wife are also BS, although he does not explain why he pled no contest to the assault.

And Chuck says it's ridiculous for Steven to think he wanted to frame him because they were both vying to own the junkyard. Chuck also says he's owned the family business since 1990.

He says if anything he was planning on making Steven a partner in the family biz since Steven was on the verge of winning a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the county for his wrongful conviction.

Steven Avery claims his own two brothers may have killed Teresa Halbach -- especially one who he says had a history of harassing women at the exact location where Teresa was last seen.

Avery filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he claims brothers Earl and Charles may have done the deed for which he's serving a life sentence. He says both have a history of sexually assaulting women. Earl once pled no contest to sexually assaulting his 2 daughters.

According to the docs, which Steven filed in 2009 after his conviction, brother Charles' criminal conduct and actions are even more problematic. He was charged with sexually assaulting his wife by holding her down and trying to strangle her with a phone cord before having intercourse with her.

The docs say Charles also had a history of aggression toward women who visited the family's junkyard. One woman, who was there to retrieve her car that had been towed, complained to cops she was afraid of Charles because he was aggressively pursuing her ... sending flowers and money to her home, calling her incessantly and showing up at her doorstep.

According to docs there was another incident in which a woman who bought a car part from the junkyard was harassed by Charles, who asked her on dates and showed up at her house.

Another woman claimed Charles had repeatedly driven by her house and would tell her on the phone he had seen her in her bathing suit as he drove by.

And this is interesting ... according to the docs, all of these women were allegedly harassed by Charles within a month of the time Teresa Halbach went missing.

LeBron James took a family approach to the holidays -- doing New Year's in Aspen with his mom and her rapping bf.

Elton John and David Furnish have a real showman on their hands -- 'cause their son Elijah stole the spotlight from dad at LAX.

We got David returning home after vacay in Aspen and the proud hands-on dad let his son rise above the crowd on his shoulders. The kid, who's about to turn 3, is just too damn cute.

You gotta see him chat us up about how much he loved his skiing trip. Elijah ain't shy.

Guy Ritchie and 15-year-old Rocco have formed a united front, and plan to wage a custody war against Madonna ... sources connected with Guy tell TMZ.

Our sources say Rocco has not softened his position ... he now wants to live with his dad. We're told Rocco feels his mom is "too controlling" and doesn't pay him any real attention. It's now been a month since he left Madonna's tour to live with his dad, and he feels more strongly than ever he wants to stay put.

We're told Rocco, like his dad, feels home life in London is more stable and loving. It's no longer just that Rocco doesn't like touring with his mom ... he says he just doesn't want to live with her anymore.

We're told Guy has hired a lawyer to mount a legal fight.

As we reported, our Madonna sources say Guy has gotten in Rocco's ear and is talking trash about her. The two have had a rocky co-parenting experience, often fighting.

A New York judge has ordered Rocco back in the U.S. for a hearing in February.

Khloe Kardashian ended 2015 with a clear message to everyone ... she's still very much with James Harden.

Khloe and the Houston Rockets' star gave each other a passionate kiss at a Houston club.

Khloe posted the pic and is clearly calling BS on stories that James pulled the plug on their relationship.

Kanye West dropped a new song on New Year's Eve, in which he declared nuclear war on Nike.

The Yeezy's creator skewered his competitor, claiming Nike treats people like slaves and opened the vault to keep Lebron from bailing. He goes on to say Drake's all Nike's got now.

And Kanye's got some choice words for Bill Cosby ... "Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby, did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey?"

And Kim Kardashian's hubby bragged about his wife's latest venture, boasting they made a million bucks a minute off the kimojis.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Apollo Nida used a precious prison phone call to go on "TMZ Live" and make the case that his children should visit him behind bars.

Nida, who's serving 8 years for money laundering and bank fraud, talks about the heartbreak of being cut off from his family, his plans for his kids and whether his marriage to Phaedra Parks will survive.

It's the first interview in "TMZ Live" history that was interrupted by a federal prison announcement.

Mark Salling has bailed out of jail with the help of his family ... this after his arrest for allegedly possessing more than a thousand child porn images.

We got a shot of Mark leaving the jail -- leaning back out of view in the passenger's seat -- after being booked on possession of child porn ... specifically porn involving minors "engaging in or simulating sexual conduct."

We've learned the bail was set at $20,000 and his family posted it ... they put down $2k, or 10%.
