Gigi Hadid Not Firing Security Over Attack ... Case of Mistaken Identity
Gigi Hadid's one forgiving boss -- she's not canning her security team after she was attacked in Milan ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Gigi say she believes the guy was only able to grab her from behind because her bodyguards thought he was a friend of hers or Bella Hadid.
That may sound like a weak excuse, but we're told the guards were only hired for Fashion Week -- it's not her personal crew -- so she's willing to cut 'em a little slack.
Gigi didn't need much help fighting off the grabby prankster anyway. Turns out ... she's been training for a moment like this.

Ballet Bodies Sued Old Ladies Don't Bend Like Pretzels
A Ballet Bodies student plummeted to the ground when her instructor fell asleep on the job ... according to the woman, who also happened to be 65 years old at the time!
The senior citizen is suing the popular Hollywood workout joint for the incident, and in the suit she says the instructor made her attempt an advanced Pilates exercise called an inverted hanging pike. As you might imagine ... it didn't end well.
The woman says her instructor failed to spot her and she ended up falling more than 6 feet onto the hardwood floor -- directly on her head.
She says she suffered whiplash, a concussion and a cervical strain and continues to battle numerous nagging pains and headaches.
The inverted hanging pike is no joke, btw. Imagine your grandma in this position.
Sorry 'bout the visual.

Christina Milian I'm Gonna Knock You Out ... With REAL Ring Skills
Don't call it a comeback, but Christina Milian's quick hands are back in a boxing ring ... and it's more than just a great workout, because the sweet science is in her blood.
We're told she started taking classes this week with her trainer, Jason Ross, at LA Fitness in Hollywood. It's the first time she's laced up the gloves in years, but her grandfather and father both boxed and taught her from childhood.
The video's pretty sick -- Christina's already throwing strong combinations. We're told it's mostly about fitness now, but she's not ruling out sparring eventually ... with very thick headgear, we hope.
Don't mess with yer moneymaker, Tina!

Brock Turner He Can Apply at Swim Club But Fat Chance He's Getting In
Brock Turner's gonna have a hard time finding a pool where he can swim when he gets back home ... at least that's what a local club is saying.
The president of Brookview Swim and Tennis Club -- just 5 miles from Brock's house in Bellbrook, OH -- tells TMZ if Brock were to apply for a membership there ... he'd more than likely get denied.
Scott Dunham says normally a simple application would be enough, but the ex-Stanford swimmer is a special case. Dunham says he'd have to take Turner's application before the club's board of trustees and stockholders.
They'd get final say, and Dunham believes they would not hesitate to shoot down the convicted sex offender. He adds ... nobody in the community is happy about Turner's homecoming.
There are other options for Turner, but Dunham doesn't imagine they'd be any more welcoming. Then again, he doesn't think Brock will be showing his face much around town ... for obvious reasons.

UFC's Michael Bisping Double Duty Training for Fight on Movie Set
It's a good thing Michael Bisping can multitask ... 'cause the UFC middleweight champ says he'll be training for his next fight against Dan Henderson while shooting his new movie in London.
Bisping locked up a role in the bare-knuckle boxing flick, "My Name Is Lenny" -- which starts filming this week. Bisping says his part will take roughly 2 weeks to complete.
But he also has a huge fight coming up against Hendo at UFC 204 in October -- just 7 weeks away.
So, how will he be able to prep for the fight and shoot the flick?
"My trainer's gonna come with me. I'm still gonna train every day. Film the movie. Come back. Focus on the fight. Kick some ass."
FYI, other fighters like Paige VanZant and Conor McGregor have turned down roles to focus on training camp -- but clearly, Bisping thinks he can handle both.
We'll find out on October 8th ...

U.S. Swimmer Jimmy Feigen Charity Donation to Boost Brazil's Olympians
Swimmer Jimmy Feigen's nearly $11k deal to avoid a Rio jail could backfire against future Team USA Olympians.
TMZ has learned Feigen's $10,800 donation has been tagged to spruce up training facilities for the Reaction Institute in the Rio favela known as City of God. Specifically, we're told the money is going to help fix walls and prevent weather damage to judo equipment.
That equipment is used to give children from the favelas judo training, and put them on the road to becoming Olympians -- who might one day whoop-up on American judo fighters. Brazil's judo gold medalist this year, Rafaela Silva, once trained at the Institute ... so it has a good track record.
As we reported, Feigen struck a deal with prosecutors in Rio ... who agreed to let him off the hook, if he made the donation.
Folks at the Reaction Institute are pumped for the dough, and tell us they hope Jimmy will visit once the work is done -- but we're guessing he won't be back in Brazil anytime soon.

Billie Jean King Serena Would Get Blasted By Male Pros
AUGUST 2016
Serena Williams has absolutely NO DAMN SHOT to beat a top men's tennis pro ... that's according to tennis legend Billie Jean King ... who says Williams would go down hard to any of the elite guys.
Billie Jean King is a TITAN in women's sports -- most notably for pummeling Bobby Riggs (who was 55) in a co-ed tennis match dubbed the "Battle Of The Sexes" back in 1973.
We got King out in L.A. recently and wanted to know if the seemingly unbeatable Serena would fair as well against an active men's pro, as King did against Riggs.
Billie's short answer? HELL NO.
King leaves the door open for Serena to do work against guys at the bottom of the male tennis tour, but makes it clear the Federers, Nadals and Djokovics of the world would all smoke her.
Check out the clip -- and move these hypothetical matches to the top of the "things we'd gladly pay to see" list.
