'The Bachelor' Lace Got Punk'd

Published | Updated

It sure looked like an obsessed fan interrupted "The Bachelor: The Women Tell All" episode Monday to show Lace a tattoo of her face on his stomach ... but the guy's actually just a joker.

Our 'Bachelor' spies say comedian and "Punk'd" producer Jamie Abrams faked both his emotions and his tattoo.

Abrams -- who went viral in 2013 for the "The Women of LA" YouTube video -- showed up at the taping and surprised Chris Harrison by standing up and professing his undying love for Lace Morris.

As for the look of fear on Lace's face ... we're told it's 100% real. Our source says no one from cast or crew were in on the prank, so she was understandably creeped out.

We reached out to both ABC and Abrams, but no comment.

WHAT A LOOK

How does DeAndre Jordan REALLY feel about that new zany lookin' condor mascot?

One look says it all.

Jordan was out at Warwick after the Clips big comeback victory over the Thunder Wednesday night -- when we asked about Chuck the Condor ... the new team mascot introduced earlier this week.

Some people hate him. Other people strongly dislike him.

Then again, the Clips are UNDEFEATED since Chuck joined the squad.

Just sayin' ...

Kobe Bryant Epic Bobblehead Fail Who the Hell Is That?!

Published | Updated

This is the bobblehead Lakers fans got Tuesday night for Kobe Bryant bobblehead night ... problem is, THAT'S NOT KOBE BRYANT!!

According to the box, the image is supposed to be based off the famous photo of Kobe holding up his #8 jersey the day he was announced to the team.

But take one look at the doll ... that ain't no 18-year-old kid -- dude looks more like a 40-year-old man (still not Kobe) rockin' a thick 1980s Danny Glover "Lethal Weapon" mustache.

This could be a lot of people ... but it sure as hell ain't Mamba.

Nick Young Busted for Loud Music Claims Cops Mocked Lakers

Published | Updated

Lakers star Nick Young was pulled over in Hollywood Monday night -- after cops say he was bumping his music too loud in a rental car ... TMZ Sports has learned.

But during the stop, Young claims the cops took a cheap shot at the Lakers ... though, it's not like they lied.

Here's what we know ... cops say Young was going down the street playing his music too loud -- and didn't have license plates on the car.

He was pulled over by a police vehicle -- and we're told another unit that happened to be close by saw the stop and went over as backup.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports Young was cited and went along his way without incident -- but Young claims the didn't leave without taking a parting shot at his team.

"After everything was over one of them (police) going to say (y'all suck) so I replied back like it ain't lookin to good for y'all neither."

Gotta admit ... funny exchange.

Peyton Manning Prank Call
THE HILARIOUS PRANK CALL

Howard Stern says THIS is the single greatest prank call his crew has ever pulled off -- a Peyton Manning impersonator hit up a sports talk show ... and what happened next was epic.

The hosts believed they had the real QB on the line started off by asking about the Super Bowl -- to which "Peyton" replied ... "Cam Newton is a little cry baby bitch."

It gets crazier and crazier from there ... and Howard played the whole thing Tuesday morning on his show on SiriusXM.

Just listen ... you might never listen to the Nationwide jingle the same way ever again.

HE SAID ... MAYBE?!

Adele kicked off her world tour by helping a female fan take a leap of faith ... dropping a Leap Year proposal on her boyfriend in the middle of the concert -- but it did not go as planned.

No one will question the power of Adele's voice, but during Monday night's show in Belfast ... even that wasn't enough to convince the reluctant dude to say "yes" to his gf.

Watch ... things got uncomfortable when the crowd started booing the bf for beating around the bush after Adele and his gf single him out in the crowd.

He eventually musters up a few head nods, but looks like he's keeping his options open. This relationship really might be water under the bridge.

Marshawn Lynch Hip-Hop Camel Ride The Ultimate Hump-ty Dance!

Published | Updated

**Warning -- explicit language**

Here's Marshawn Lynch vibin' on a camel while blasting Bay Area hip-hop during a goodwill trip to Egypt ... and it's awesome!!!

As we previously reported, Lynch -- along with 9 other NFL stars -- are in pyramid country as part of the American Football Without Borders camp ... bringing the sport to countries where it's not super popular.

But the guys also made time to take in the local culture -- including cruising through the desert on a camel!!!

Check out Lynch gettin' down to "F**k It Up" by rapper Tay Way ... who, like Marshawn, is from the Bay Area. The guides bumpin' the music is pretty hilarious.

There's more ... we also got footage of Dolphins tight end Jordan Cameron catching passes on one of the pyramids (don't worry, he's got great hands -- the pyramid was never in danger).
