Justin Bieber Impressing Parents 101 ... Take Her to The Choppa!!!

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber continues to pull out all the stops for his new fiancee, Hailey Baldwin ... taking a HELICOPTER to meet up with her family just a few miles away.

Justin and Hailey loaded into their very own private helicopter Tuesday for the 70-mile trek to upstate New York. The destination? New Windsor ... a town with a population of about 25,000, where Hailey's dad Stephen and family call home.

TMZ broke the story, Justin approached Papa Baldwin a few weeks back to ask for Hailey's hand in marriage before he got down on one knee in the Bahamas and popped the question.

Unclear how long JB and Hailey will stay upstate -- but if they start to miss the hustle and bustle of the big city -- it's only a chopper away.

Drew Brees Kids Get SonBurned ... Trying To Cover Golden Tate

Published | Updated

SonBurned: When a man or woman is forced to watch their offspring (in this case, sons) get ruthlessly burned on the football field by an elite NFL WR who's taking no prisoners.

Drew Brees' kids should now know this definition well, having been ruthlessly destroyed by Lions WR Golden Tate while trying to guard him one-on-one with no safety help.

The life lesson went down at Santa Fe Christian High School where Brees was working out alongside other NFL guys like Tate, Darren Sproles and Michael Thomas.

At some point it was time for the kids to get in on the action, and the resulting carnage was caught on video as both Brees kids get turned around like J Lo walked by.

Might be time to teach them the other side of the ball, Drew ... it worked for you, after all.

Violet from 'Willy Wonka' Denise Nickerson Suffers Stroke ... In Critical Condition

Published | Updated

The actress who played Violet in "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" recently suffered a stroke that's left her in critical condition ... and her family in dire straits.

A Facebook group has been started to help support Denise Nickerson, who's recovering from a stroke she suffered in late June. The FB group has been offering updates on her health status for about a week now, and is also offering autographed items for cash so they can stay by her side.

Sources close to the family say Denise is in the ICU, but are adamant -- she is a fighter. Denise will be having a procedure later Wednesday.

Our sources say she's had a pacemaker put in and is being fed through feeding tubes.

In addition to her 'Wonka' fame, she also appeared in an episode of "The Brady Bunch," and was a regular in the series "Dark Shadows" and "The Electric Company."

The family's raised $2,492 so far for health care fees and other costs.

Sylvester Stallone Yo, Jennifer ... I'm the King of the World!!!

Published | Updated

Good to know even Sylvester Stallone does the Leo in "Titanic" thing when he's on a boat, but most of us can't compete with the view he has right now -- namely, his beautiful wife, Jennifer Flavin!

Sly and the family Stallone are vacationing in Saint-Tropez to celebrate his recent 72nd birthday. While he was playing Jack on Tuesday ... Jennifer and their daughters, Sophia and Sistine, were on paddle boards, attempting what looks like some yoga positions.

The fam's already enjoyed some top-deck time -- sunbathing in their bathing suits -- and now they're looking to enjoy the Mediterranean waters.

If anyone's got it better than Sly ... nevermind. Nobody does.

A HIGHER PURPOSE

WE GOT TIM TEBOW'S MOM!!!! How cool is this?!

Tim Tebow's mother, Pamela, tells TMZ Sports her son is ready to play in the Big Leagues ... and she couldn't be more proud of the way he's playing!

FYI, Tim's been raking down in the minor leagues -- earning a spot in the Eastern League All-Star Game -- and Mama Tebow says he's ready for the call up to the Mets' MLB roster.

"We're partial, so we would vote for him to go up to the majors," Pam said at LAX ... "But, it's not up to us!"

We also asked how the Tebow family felt when Tim decided to make the switch from football to baseball -- and she was super candid about it.

"Timmy never had any bitterness. He had such a great attitude, because he believed it was God's plan for him. And then, we just all supported him because he still had a competitive drive."

"And he just still wanted to play ball. So baseball was second, so why not try it?"

"I think he's an example for all the little boys that maybe are afraid to try something because people don't think they'll succeed. So, you don't make it? At least you tried! That's what his main purpose is, he really wants to be a good example for them."

And, if you want some Mama Tebow bible scripture of the day? She gives us some of that too!

Sly Stallone's Wife & Daughter Mommy et Moi Day in France ... Tiny Bikinis Edition!!!

Published | Updated

Jennifer Flavin and her 20-year-old daughter, Sistine, are a lethal combination ... especially in bikinis.

Sly Stallone's wife and his middle daughter slipped into bikinis aboard a fancy yacht sailing off the South of France. This family affair wasn't just about soaking up the sun and enjoying the views. There was also important business, like ... selfies!

It would be pretty easy to mistake Mom for one of Sistine's 2 sisters ... who are also on the trip, btw.

Enjoy the gallery, but before ya fantasize too much, remember ... 72-year-old Sly can still kick your ass.

Justin Bieber Got Papa Baldwin's Blessing Before Proposal to Hailey

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber's a sucker for old school traditions -- he made sure to ask Hailey Baldwin's father for her hand in marriage before he popped the question ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us Justin and Stephen Baldwin met face-to-face several weeks ago. We're told the conversation was very important to the Biebs, who absolutely wanted the green light from Hailey's pop. Stephen is a minister in NY, and we're told he believes Justin has the same Christian values as he and Hailey do -- and, of course, JB and HB both attend Hillsong Church.

Point is ... Stephen happily gave his blessing. The mano a mano also proves Justin's proposal wasn't an impulsive decision in the middle of a vacation.

We broke the story ... Justin proposed to Hailey Saturday at a resort in the Bahamas. Hailey, obviously, said yes ... and was flashing her engagement ring all day Sunday.

Justin referenced those Christian values that so impressed his father-in-law-to-be when he posted an open love letter to Hailey. The super romantic message was really his first public declaration about Hailey since they reunited.

It's interesting, Justin got the go-ahead from Stephen sometime in June, and, as we've seen, the couple's been inseparable since their PDA-filled Miami weekend on June 10.

Safe to say, Justin's been in proposal mode this whole time they've been attached at the hip.

The Jonas Brothers Crash Mary Carey's Wedding in Cuba

Published | Updated

Hear the one about the Jonas Bros -- formerly of purity ring fame -- running into a porn star at the altar? Well, you're about to, 'cause Mary Carey's Cuban wedding got super random.

The ex-porn star and Dr. Joseph Brownfield had their wedding celebration in Havana and, while partying at a restaurant called La Guarida ... in walked Nick and Kevin Jonas!

Turns out all 3 Jo Bros have been in Cuba too, and just happened to be dining in a separate part of the restaurant. Kev and Nick posed for this shot with the happy couple. Joe abstained.

We're told Nick and Kevin weren't there long, and managed to dodge any wedding singer duties.

You'll recall, Mary and the good doc got hitched in L.A. a couple weeks back, but had the ceremony and reception in Havana. Great timing.

CAN'T CATCH POPS

And, the summer of Tom Brady destroying his family continues ...

TB12 took his son out in the backyard for a little pre-training camp/post-vacation workout Monday -- and left his child grasping at straws after some savage juke moves.

Well, "savage" for a guy playing against an elementary schooler.

Remember ... Tom's been killin' his fam the past few weeks -- firing lasers at his mom in dodgeball and throwin' tantrums in front of them on the golf course in Montana last week.

Looks like his son ain't immune to the Hall of Famer's competitiveness, now that the family's back home, either.

The Patriots' opponents get a little bigger when the season kicks off in September ... but, until then -- watch out, Brady relatives.

Sylvester Stallone Gets Action-Packed Bday Message ... Arnold, Carl & Co. Say Happy 72

Published | Updated

Sylvester Stallone turned 72 years old this week, and got proper action hero birthday wishes from some of the best in the biz.

Sly made an appearance Friday at London's O2 arena -- the same day he hit the big 7-2. While answering questions from the crowd, a video message was played to honor his born day ... with well-wishes from A LOT of his old action flick buddies.

Guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael B. Jordan, Al Pacino and Dolph Lundgren (the Russian in 'Rocky IV') all gave a shout out to Rocky Balboa for hitting a new milestone in his life ... and continuing to punch back.

You'd think this would be the greatest gift ever ... but, apparently, not for Sly. He told the audience that the best present he'd ever gotten was his three daughters, who were present.

Awww ...

Trapped Soccer Boys Rescued from Thailand Cave

Published | Updated

Rescuers in Thailand have stunningly removed some of the boys trapped in a flooded, treacherous cave.

Four of the boys made an 8 hour trek -- with the help of Thailand's navy SEAL unit -- scuba diving to safety. The 4 boys were immediately taken to the hospital. One was airlifted and the other 3 were taken by ambulance.

The 12 boys and their soccer coach have been trapped underground in the cave for 16 days, and it seemed rescue efforts were stalled because of the difficulty of traversing a mile-and-a-half of water in narrow passages.

The boys were taught how to scuba dive but it appeared as late as Saturday they were not ready to make the trip. Impending rains were threatening the remaining dry ground and Saturday night it seemed the rescue effort was accelerated.

Reuters is reporting 6 boys have been removed, but other outlets say 4. The efforts continue to bring the other boys out.

The weakest of the dozen children were removed first.

Story developing.

Chrissy Teigen Breastfeeding Twins Now ... Thanks to Luna

Published | Updated

Chrissy Teigen didn't plan for this, but she's now doubled up on her breastfeeding duties to appease her oldest child ... but it's not what you think.

Chrissy just shared a hilarious photo of herself breastfeeding her baby son, Miles ... but surprisingly, there's another baby in the mix too.

She says, "Luna making me feed her babydoll so I guess I have twins now."

Wonder how long she's going to have to keep this up ...

As we reported ... Chrissy and John Legend welcomed baby #2 in May and named him Miles Theodore Stephens. Clearly, Luna's not letting him get all the attention.

Arnold and Maria Still Married After 7-Year Divorce Case

Published | Updated

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver may get in the Guinness Book of World Records, because they just crossed the 7-year mark in their divorce case with no end in sight.

Maria filed for divorce July 1, 2011 ... this after she learned Arnold fathered a child -- Joseph Baena -- with their housekeeper.

There was never any real custody beef ... of their 4 kids, two were minors at the time -- 17-year-old Patrick and 13-year-old Christopher -- and they both quickly agreed on joint custody. Well, Christopher's now 20, so there hasn't even been a theoretical custody issue for years.

As for a property settlement ... we reported at the time there was a pot of around $400 million to split. The couple, that reportedly started dating in 1982 and married in 1986, did not have a prenup.

Sources connected to Arnold and Maria say there were bumps along the way in hammering out a settlement but, since the split is 50/50, there are no serious roadblocks.

Our sources say Arnold has not shown interest in making the divorce final. As for Maria, she's waffled ... sometimes pushing for a divorce but other times just letting it ride. Everyone we've spoken with says Arnold and Maria are not getting back together ... yet, when push comes to shove, they both seem unwilling to pull the trigger.

After 7 years, there's a real possibility the divorce isn't going to happen ... ever.

LaVar Ball Lonzo's Injury News Didn't Come From Me ... 'I Don't Leak Nothing!!!'

THIS FAM DON'T LEAK

LaVar Ball says he had absolutely nothing to do with word of Lonzo's knee injury getting out, and neither did anyone in his camp family ... because the Balls don't roll like that.

We got LaVar at LAX Friday and asked about the recent report that the Lakers think someone on Zo's side leaked news of his torn meniscus and potential surgery to keep him from getting traded ... he calls BS.

"I don't leak nothing. I always say what's on my mind, so you don't never see me saying, 'I think I should say this now and let it leak.' I don't do that."

LaVar says he's never babied his son or even talked about him being hurt ... so the media should look for leakers elsewhere.

He also touches on Lonzo's relationship with his new teammates -- LeBron and Rondo -- but tells us he's been busy with his own business this summer ... so he doesn't have all the answers.

Of course, we already know how he feels about LeBron in L.A.

Ex-Warrior Clifford Rozier Dead At 45

Published | Updated

Clifford Rozier -- college basketball star and Golden State Warriors' first-round pick in 1994 -- has died from a heart attack at the age of 45 ... Rozier's brother tells TMZ Sports.

We spoke to Kobie Rozier -- who told us the former Louisville standout went into cardiac arrest two days ago ... and was put on life support. Kobie says Cliff passed away Friday morning in Florida.

Rozier -- a 6-foot-11 center -- was a consensus first-team All-American in '94 (Jason Kidd and Grant Hill also made 1st team) after he averaged 18.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game with the Cards.

Clifford went on to spend four seasons in the NBA after the Warriors selected him with the No. 16 overall pick in the draft.
