MLB Star Jose Bautista 'No Medical Attention' After Punch to the Face
It looked worse than it actually was ... because Jose Bautista did NOT require any sort of medical attention after taking that hard overhand right to the face this weekend, TMZ Sports has learned.
We spoke with Bautista's agent, Jay Alou, who tells us straight up -- "Everything is fine, Jose didn't require any medical attention."
Alou added, "It's unfortunate this happened. Kids don't need to see that."
Bautista got into it with Texas Rangers 2nd baseman Rougned Odor over the weekend -- with Odor landing a pretty clean shot to the grill.
By the way, we also spoke with a rep for the Arlington PD -- who tells us there is NOT a criminal investigation and no charges have been filed.

Kendra Wilkinson Feud Still On ... Holly's Not Loyal
Kendra Wilkinson's not waving any white flags in her war with Holly Madison ... but she is blaming hormones for her XXX tweets at her ex-Playboy pal.
We got Kendra outside FOX News Thursday and she explained why she's on the attack, and not planning to back down.
Earlier, she went after Holly on Twitter for dissing Hugh Hefner in a People article. The tweets were extremely graphic, and Kendra's since deleted them.
But the damage is done for Holly, who tells us she doesn't want to be part of a fight where "one woman lives to demoralize and degrade another woman."
She added a jab of her own -- "For those with unresolved issues, therapy works."

Check out the clip -- Charlamagne isn't exactly Sugar Ray Robinson in there, but gets in enough good shots to not look like a newbie.
BTW -- Porter is training for a huge title fight against Keith Thurman later this month ... by fighting a guy who sits down for a living.

Jeremy Roenick Bieber's a Fighter Would Beat Orlando Bloom's Ass
Don't underestimate Justin Bieber -- 'cause if push comes to shove with Orlando Bloom (again), NHL legend Jeremy Roenick says he's taking the Biebs ALL DAY.
Turns out, Roenick is a huuuge Justin Bieber fan ... like, big ... and says JB's got too much going on in his life to worry about Bloom getting cozy with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez again.
Remember, Bloom and Bieber got physical over a woman back in 2014 -- when an altercation broke out at a restaurant in Ibiza.
Well, Roenick says if the two come to blows again ... Bloom better watch his ass 'cause Justin's bigger and stronger than ever.
Jeremy also issues some dating advice for the Biebs -- don't worry about one girl ... there are too many fish in the sea and they all want to bang you.

Ja Rule Smacks Up Fan For Throwing Beer Can
Ja Rule was so furious about getting a beer can to the dome, he stopped his show to find the person who hurled it ... and then slapped the hell out of the culprit.
We got this video of Ja performing at Harrah's Pool After Dark in Atlantic City last weekend. When the can flew out of the crowd he was only four songs into the show, but brought everything to a halt.
He immediately offered a $1,000 reward, and apparently it worked. Someone dropped a dime on the can tosser, and then Ja Rule went to work.
Watch the video ... it's a lose-lose for the fan. Lost your beer AND got humiliated on video.

Stitches Sorry I Slugged You, Bruh ... Let's Make Peace in Miami!
Stitches is apologizing -- sort of -- for punching one of his fans, and even going all out to make things right with the guy.
The swift response came after Stitches said he realized the fan, at Voltage Lounge in Philly, meant no harm -- he reached up and slapped Stitches in the stomach. The rapper got pissed and struck back with a left hook.
Cashius Clay (for real), Stitches' manager, tells TMZ the rapper knows he was in the wrong, but adds Stitches reacted how anyone else would have -- especially after someone pulled a gun during a recent gig in Canada.
Stitches already reached out to the fan on FaceTime, and hooked him up with tix to an upcoming show in Miami. We suggest he keep his hands to himself this time.

Justin Bieber Shoves Desiigner!! Minor Scrap Over VIP Feet
Justin Bieber had to regulate on Desiigner in the packed 1 OAK nightclub when the rapper's performance spilled into the VIP section ... TMZ has learned.
Sources in the NYC hot spot tell us 19-year-old Desiigner -- recently signed to Kanye West's label -- was putting on a hell of a show Thursday night, and Justin was watching from the VIP area.
We're told it was all good until Desiigner got "a little too hyped" ... started jumping around and "stomped" multiple times on Justin's feet. That's when JB flexed on him.
We're told Desiigner immediately turned around and said "My bad."
As for social media buzz the rapper got kicked out -- not true. We're told Desiigner finished his set. He was only escorted out because he's under 21, and has to leave once he's done performing.

DeMarcus Cousins Brother Tased In Club Fight ... DeMarcus Pulled From Melee
1:50 PM PST -- We just got new video showing the ENTIRE altercation -- and it's even crazier than we thought. You can see DeMarcus at the beginning of the fight -- but then he quickly disappears, as we previously reported.
The brother of NBA star DeMarcus Cousins was tased and arrested for fighting in a Tampa nightclub early this morning ... but we're told DeMarcus was pulled away from the fracas before cops got involved.
Both DeMarcus and Jaleel Cousins had been partying at The Drynk SoHo (see pic of the two below) when things got heated with club security.
FYI, Jaleel was a center for the University of South Florida basketball team. He just completed his senior season.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Sources inside the club tell us the brothers tried to get into the DJ area but security was shutting them down -- and that's when the chest-puffing began.
In footage obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see Jaleel throwing a haymaker punch -- while chaos ensues around him. We're told someone in DeMarcus' crew grabbed the Sacramento Kings star almost immediately and smartly rushed him outside.
Cops rushed in and tried to take Jaleel into custody -- but he allegedly resisted so cops busted out the taser and shocked him into submission. He was eventually arrested for misdemeanor battery and resisting arrest.
A police spokesperson told us, "There was no indication of any involvement by DeMarcus Cousins."

Alec Baldwin BALLISTIC in Bev Hills ... SHUT UP!!!
Alec Baldwin exploded in anger Tuesday, getting in a photographer's face and berating him for shooting Baldwin's wife.
Baldwin and Hilaria were in Bev Hills when he unleashed on the photog with ear-shattering volume, ordering him to "shut up."
It's unclear what preceded Baldwin's tirade, but he tells the photog in no uncertain terms his wife is out of bounds for the paparazzi ... interesting for sure, because Hilaria is a prolific Instagram user who chronicles her life on the app. She's also a correspondent for "Extra."
It's even more interesting ... Baldwin wrote an essay where he said he was moving from New York to California because he can't stand the paparazzi presence in the Big Apple. He wrote in New York Magazine, "L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal."
The incident occurred in a very public part of town ... Bedford Drive in Beverly Hills.
We reached out to Baldwin's rep ... so far no word back.

Minnie Driver Neighbor War Flares Up!! Cops Have to Break It Up
Minnie Driver's block turned into a battlefield when her neighbor's delivery truck parked in front of her Hollywood Hills driveway ... and cops had to keep the peace.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers were called out Tuesday afternoon when Driver went ballistic on Daniel Perelmutter -- a guy she's had beef with before. We're told Perelmutter got a delivery, but the truck made the mistake of blocking off Minnie's driveway.
Minnie and Daniel were screaming at each other so loudly, someone called police. Officers calmed down the situation and told them this was, ironically, a civil matter to be settled in court.
We're told they're doing just that Wednesday morning. These two squared off last year in a land dispute that got so bad ... she got a restraining order against him.
Take that Hatfields and McCoys.

Ex-Olympic Wrestling Champ Fights Ukranian Cops Gets Face Cracked Open
How many Ukranian cops does it take to apprehend a 50-year-old former Olympic wrestling champ?
Seven, actually ... plus a bunch of pepper spray and some batons.
The man who got his face cracked open is Vyacheslav Oliynyk -- who won the gold medal at the '96 Olympics in Atlanta.
Oliynyk was reportedly stopped for drunk driving after celebrating his 50th bday -- but an argument broke out and the guy made it clear he wasn't going to jail quietly.
He squared up ... he put his hands on one of the cops ... and then all hell broke loose.
After the brawl, Oliynyk reportedly told local media, "I admit I was partially guilty, I can’t tell you the whole thing. I’m partly guilty because I did not stop and I was ignoring the police."
"But I am not a criminal. As far as I can see there will be a court hearing and they will punish me somehow because they always do. However the fact that police let me go home on the same day shows I didn’t do anything that bad."

'Property Brothers' Star Bouncer Tried a Fixer-Upper ... ON MY FACE!
"Property Brothers" star Jonathan Scott ended up in a bouncer's headlock while he was hanging in a Fargo bar, and now police are investigating.
Cops tell TMZ Jonathan was at Dempsey's Public House Saturday night when the altercation started. It wasn't much of a fight -- we're told the bouncer quickly subdued Jonathan.
It's unclear what started the fight, but cops tell us the bar was trying to get people out before the 2 AM closing time. Jonathan called 911 at 1:57 AM, claiming he was assaulted by the bouncer.
A source close to Jonathan tells us he happened to get in the middle of other people who were arguing, but had nothing to do with the situation. Cops say Dempsey's staffers deny any assault, although the photos make it pretty clear something went down.
No one was arrested, but cops say they're investigating and will review surveillance video to see if charges are necessary.
