We caught up with Mark at LAX Wednesday, where he told us ... "I have the utmost confidence in Sean. I think Sean will make a comeback the likes of which people are not expecting."

Diddy is serving a 50-month federal prison sentence for violating the Mann Act. He's already served 13 months, and with credit, he could get out in around 2 years -- but of course, none of that matters if President Donald Trump commutes his sentence.

Sean Payton saw the not-so-subtle jab Russell Wilson made toward him on social media on Tuesday ... but the Broncos head coach is adamant he wasn't shading his former quarterback with the comments he made after Sunday's game -- insisting he was simply complimenting Jaxson Dart.

Payton raised eyebrows after the Broncos pulled off an unbelievable comeback against the Giants ... when he told reporters postgame he had hoped Dart would remain the backup until after their Week 7 matchup -- which some saw as shade to Wilson.

Wilson -- the current New York Giants backup after losing the gig to the rookie -- sent a rare shot at his old coach on Tuesday ... and while he didn't mention Payton by name, it was clear who he was referring to in the post.

Although David has denied Loos' claims about the affair, Loos has always maintained her story about their connection ... she claimed she "never lied about a single thing" on an episode of "60 Minutes Australia" earlier this year.

New nose, who dis? Courtney Stodden debuted her fresh rhinoplasty ... breathing in the fresh air and flowers as she hauled her trash to the curb.

As you can see, Courtney’s trash run in Calabasas, California Tuesday was anything but basic ... she flaunted her eye-popping curves in a tiny animal-print bikini top ... giving that brand-new nose some serious sniff-worthy competition.

Courtney went makeup-free for the outing ... flexing just how thrilled she is with the results of her $20K nose job she got last month.
