Aaron Rodgers has never been one to shy away from tossing around conspiracy theories in a public forum ... and that continued during his sit-down with Joe Rogan this week -- when he hinted the set of Ellen DeGeneres' old talk show looked a bit too much like Epstein Island for his liking.

Rodgers made the remark amid his lengthy appearance on Wednesday's episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" ... which naturally turned to the subject of Jeffrey Epstein and a building on Little Saint James.

Once producer Jamie pulled up an image on screen, Rodgers quickly said it reminded him of the "set of a famous talk show that's now not on anymore."

WNBA player Sophie Cunningham is adamantly denying she ever hooked up with Phoenix Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein ... calling the claims made in a recent lawsuit "untrue and extremely hurtful."

In the lawsuit, Traylor said he was notified of the inappropriate relationship by coworker Cornelius Craig, the organization's VP of security and risk management.

Aaron Rodgers might not be married after all -- the NFL legend was spotted out in the wild this week with no jewelry on that finger.

The 41-year-old -- who rocked what certainly looked like a wedding ring while out at Kentucky Derby festivities last weekend -- was seen leaving a Malibu, Calif. gym on Wednesday with no sign of the small black band that made headlines this week.

Of course, it's possible the signal-caller merely didn't want to pump iron with a hindrance on his left hand ... but it's also entirely possible the whole ordeal was a Rodgers ruse.

If Olivia Ponton and Joe Burrow are, in fact, dating, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model isn't kissing and telling ... emphatically shutting down questions about her love life on Monday.

The 22-year-old -- who's been rumored to be hooking up with Burrow ever since she reported a burglary at his Ohio home back in December -- was peppered with questions about the NFL superstar outside a Met Gala after party ... but she remained mum.

She was initially jovial and warm with the pap in the New York City street -- but as soon as the Burrow topic was broached, she shut down.

"Love Is Blind" stars Joey Leveille and Sara Carton swear they're not dating ... but, they're not doing a great job of convincing fans -- further fanning the gossip flames with a late-night hang.

Antetokounmpo, during his post-game press conference, relayed that John was droppin' f-bombs while waving the towel in his face, describing the moment as "very disrespectful."

Lana Del Rey is kissing and telling ... the singer claimed she smooched Morgan Wallen -- and then threw shade at him -- in her brand new song "57.5", which she debuted at Stagecoach Friday night.

There's no guessing when it comes to the new song's lyrics as she sang ... "I kissed Morgan Wallen / I guess kissing me kind of went to his head / If you want my secret to success / I suggest don’t go ATVing with him when you’re out west."

Thanks for the advice.
