UFC's Alistair Overeem Brock Lesnar Will Never Return to UFC
Brock Lesnar is DONE in the UFC -- and will never fight in the Octagon ever again, despite his hopes for a comeback ... so says Alistair Overeem.
Overeem is one of the few guys who actually beat Lesnar during his MMA career -- so when we saw him at LAX, we asked if there was a chance we'd ever see a rematch.
Problem is ... according to Alistair, we'll never see another Brock match, period -- following the drug allegations surrounding UFC 200.
You can see in the video Alistair has A LOT more he wants to say ... but bites his tongue.
It's interesting considering we just got Brock out earlier this month and he told us a UFC return was still a possibility.
We'll see ...

We got a pic of Izzy and Vinny getting cozy Wednesday during their L.A. to NYC flight, and they didn't seem too concerned with any spoiler alerts. Passengers say they couldn't keep their hands off each other ... and Izzy eventually fell asleep in his lap.

Kim K. & Paris Hilton Tara Reid Eating Our Dust at Hyde ... Happy Anniversary!
It's gotta be Tara Reid's least fave starring role, but it's also the one that started Kim Kardashian's march to fame -- and maybe the most classic TMZ clip of all time.
It all went down 10 years ago today -- hard to believe -- outside Hyde on Sunset, which was THE spot at the time. Tara was forced to wait at the door when along came her former BFF Paris Hilton ... arm-in-arm with Kim.
What happened next is freakin' Hollywood lore. Watch the moment not-so-kindly remembered as "Nightclub Roadkill" -- and think how much has changed since then.
Fact is, all 3 have become huge successes. Paris runs a billion dollar company, Kim's perhaps the biggest reality TV star and trendsetter ever, and Tara's starred in all 4 'Sharknado' flicks.
Congrats, ladies!
