Great news for QBs ... James Harrison says he's finally retiring from football after 15 seasons in the league.

Yeah, you've heard the story before ... because Harrison has retired before -- but this time, Deebo says he meant it.

"I've missed way too much for way too long...and I'm done," the 39-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers legend announced on social media.

He also posted several photos of his kids -- suggesting he's ready to become a full-time dad.

"Many thanks to my family, coaches, the fans, and everyone who played a role in my football life. #2ndAndFinalRetirement #HarrisonFamilyValues #BlessedAndHighlyFavored #GodsPlan."

Published | Updated

DJ Khaled's 18-month-old son, Asahd, is gonna be throwing down stacks for mini cars with his name on 'em before he learns how to sign his name ... if all goes as planned.

Khaled and his wife, Nicole Tuck, filed to trademark Asahd's name on just about everything imaginable ... keychains, perfumes, cosmetics, clothing (i.e. jogging suits), linens, video games and jewelry ... you name it.

They also want the right to slap his name on a bunch of kid's stuff including strollers, pacifiers, children's books, bibs, dried fruit snacks, teething rings, and yep ... mini kid cars!

Nicole had to sign on the dotted line of the docs on account of, y'know ... Asahd not writing yet.

The kid's already collaborated with Jordan Brand ... so launching his own brand should be a walk in the park. As they say ... start 'em young.

LOCKED AND LOADED

Viola Davis' husband says they've made necessary adjustments after their home was almost broken into last month, but it sounds like he was already prepared to defend his family.

We got Julius Tennon Saturday at LAX, and asked about a recent attempted break-in at his and Viola's home ... during which they were home and fast asleep in their bedroom.

Julius says he was able to scare off the prowlers with his "Lion King" voice, and that he and V got rid of the ladder the dudes used to climb up to their second-floor balcony.

Then he drops an ominous warning for anyone considering to pull something like that again ... DON'T, 'cause he's got something more lethal than his voice. Guns, perhaps? You tell us.

Scott Disick picked up the parent baton this weekend to let his baby mama, Kourtney Kardashian, have some fun at Coachella ... but he wasn't pulling daddy duty alone.

Scott was spotted chaperoning his and Kourtney's three kids Saturday in Malibu, with girlfriend Sofia Richie following close behind. They were all hitting up a toy store there while Kourtney, her beau and her sis, Kylie, got their party on for Day 1 & 2 of the festival.

Obviously, Scott and Sofia are still going strong after they started hanging out last spring. They're coming up on a year now as a couple, and they seem to be as close as ever. Ditto for Kourtney and BF Younes Bendjima, actually.

Who says exes and their new boo thangs can't work it out?

Khloe Kardashian leads a busy lifestyle, so she's making sure her first child is equipped to be a baby-on-the-go as well ... TMZ has learned.

We're told in the week leading up to Khloe giving birth, she was stocking up on items for the baby, but panicked when she realized she was low on luggage and other travel items for her daughter.

Our sources say she loaded up with about 20 items from Bev Hills baby boutique Petit Tresor -- it's a fave stop for the Kardashians. We're told Khloe dropped just under $4,000 to get a BabyZen Yoyo Travel Stroller, a Medela Pump On-The-Go Station, and a Storksak Travel Diaper Bag ... to name a few gems off her list.

It's interesting -- at the time of her purchase, we're told Khloe was anticipating a lot of back and forth trips from L.A. to Cleveland to be with her boyfriend and baby daddy, Tristan Thompson.

Those plans may be changing now, but Khloe's baby girl will still be ready to see the world.

And then there was one ...

Toni Braxton is now hitting the road without either of her sisters after 86'ing Tamar from the upcoming family tour.

The tour was supposed to feature three of the Braxtons ... Toni along with Tamar and Traci as her opening acts. That didn't last long. We broke the story, Traci got the axe last month after she sparred with Tamar over her estranged husband, Vince Herbert.

We're now told promoters also don't want to deal with Tamar's divorce drama -- so they dropped her from the tour, too. Important to note, Vince is still Tamar's manager.

As of now, we're told there's no replacement yet to open for Toni. The clock's ticking ... we're told the tour will kick off May 22.

Farrah Abraham Daughter Watches Butt Plumping ... Her Take on Child Rearing??

Published | Updated

Nothing says mother-daughter bonding like a trip to get butt fillers -- that is if you're Farrah Abraham who did just that with her 9-year-old daughter, Sophia.

The ex-"Teen Mom" shared a kinda graphic video of her butt getting pumped full of filler on Friday ... which in and of itself isn't shocking. The shocking part is little Sophia in the background recording her mom's posterior ... for posterity. Their 2 dogs were there, too, so Farrah made it a family affair.

Predictably, there's been immediate backlash for Farrah bringing Sophia to witness the procedure.

Farrah tells us, "This is non invasive, just like blood work or getting shots @Flawlessvegas did an amazing job and our children are curious so more power to Sophia learning about aesthetics & health."

That makes it seem like Sophia had a choice in whether to go. If ya believe Farrah ... maybe her daughter wants to be a doctor.

'Jerry Springer' Producer Jill Blackstone Arrested for Murder of Sister

Published | Updated

3:10 PM PT -- According to the LAPD ... homicide detectives believe Blackstone's motive was her "frustration of being forced to provide Wendy long-term care, as well as the associated financial hardship."

Jill Blackstone, a former producer on "Jerry Springer" and "Sally Jessy Raphael" -- has been arrested for murder in the death of her sister ... TMZ has learned.

Blackstone's sister, Wendy, died in 2015 from a combination of carbon monoxide poisoning and Xanax. At the time it appeared she committed suicide that was facilitated by Jill. Wendy was blind and partially deaf, and it looked like it might have been a suicide pact, but Jill backed out and left the enclosed garage. Jill herself suffered from severe carbon monoxide poisoning after the incident and spent 2 days in the hospital.

Wendy and 3 dogs perished inside the garage. A suicide note was found at the scene that police later came to believe was written by Jill.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... on Tuesday, Jill was at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore when she was arrested on a warrant for murder and 3 counts of animal cruelty.

She now faces extradition to Los Angeles for prosecution.

Brielle Biermann Leave My Mom Alone, Marlon ... But, HMU for 'White Chicks 2'!!!

Published | Updated

Brielle Biermann's conflicted about Marlon Wayans' "White Chicks 2" joke about her mom -- on one hand she's not down with it, but on the other hand ... it's kinda funny.

We got Kim Zolciak's daughter at LAX Thursday and asked her how she felt about Wayans making fun of her mom's appearance ... and her response is kind of surprising. Brielle admits she's a huge "White Chicks" fan, and if Marlon had cracked on anyone else ... she'd probably have no beef.

But, Brielle's protective of her mother -- who we know was NOT HAPPY about the dig -- so her message to Marlon's pretty clear ... back off!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Here's the bright side -- Brielle says there can be a happy compromise. She's open to being in a 'White Chicks' sequel in place of Kim ... and is willing to go above and beyond for the role.

Hear that, Marlon?

We're told Khloe's putting her feelings on hold, realizing for better or worse Tristan is the father of their child and knowing a bond between father and child can be cemented in the delivery room.

What we don't know ... if Tristan is game to participate or if any new allegations or actions may surface to sway Khloe's opinion.

TMZ broke the story ... Khloe started having early contractions Wednesday just hours after videos surfaced of Tristan hooking up with other women.

HULKING OUT

Jesse Williams' Ex I Need More Dough ... For Kids' Activities!!!

Published | Updated

Jesse Williams's estranged wife has gone to court asking for more money to support their 2 kids ... TMZ has learned.

Aryn Drake-Lee filed docs claiming the $50,695 per month Jesse's been ordered to fork over in spousal support falls way short of covering expenses for their kids, ages 4 and 2.

In the docs, Aryn says she's paying 100% of the kids' bills right now ... including clothes, food, traveling outside L.A. to visit family, swimming and dance lessons, child care and tuition. Aryn says that pushes expenses to $73,369 per month.

Aryn claims Jesse can afford it since he makes at least $250k per "Grey's Anatomy" episode, so she wants to be reimbursed for what she's had to cover so far.

On top of that ... Aryn wants $200k to cover her legal fees. We broke the story, Jesse agreed to front her $60k for her lawyer's fees ... but clearly that ain't cutting it for Aryn.
