It wasn't even a milestone birthday, but don't tell Patriots DT Davon Godchaux ... he gifted his fiancée Chanel Iman with a brand new Mercedes Benz G-Wagon for her upcoming 33rd birthday, and it literally brought the model to tears!

The 7-year NFL pro shocked Iman with the 4-wheeled gift on Tuesday -- three days before her actual birthday (December 1) -- and shared the surprise on his Instagram story.

You can see the bright blue whip, which starts around $140k, sitting in the driveway with a massive red bow on the hood ... as the Victoria's Secret Angel stood next to the Benz, smiling ear to ear.

"Thank you so much, honey!" Iman yelled. "This is the best gift ever! I love you!"

Chanel was super excited ... there was even dancing and some (very happy) screaming.

"She was crying lol," Godchaux said in the caption. "Big baby!"

Making the whole scene even sweeter ... the couple's little newborn daughter got to witness mom and dad's joy from the baby stroller.

"Happy early birthday to you baby! Thank you for always holding it down," Godchaux said.

"Real ones do real things."

Godchaux -- who signed an extension with the Pats last year -- and Iman went public with their relationship in 2022 ... before revealing they were having a baby in May.

The 29-year-old proposed to Iman shortly after the pregnancy announcement ... and the couple welcomed Capri in September.

"I never thought I would be getting down on one knee," Godchaux said in May, "but LOVE will make you do some amazing things in life!"

El ex jefe del equipo de seguridad de Diddy está poniéndole más presión pública a su ex superior, después de haber sido nombrado en la demanda de Cassie. Ahora está afirmando que Cassie es solo la punta del iceberg de las supuestas fechorías de Diddy.

En un apasionado post de Instagram del martes, Rogers Bonds, que trabajó con Diddy hace una década, se comprometió a contar su versión de la historia, pero curiosamente nunca ha utilizado el nombre de Diddy. Sí, ha usado el nombre de Cassie.

En la demanda que interpuso contra Diddy, Cassie nombró a Roger, alegando que él intervino para evitar que Diddy pisoteara su carro y la atacara en 2009 en Los Ángeles.

Roger respalda su historia diciendo que no solo detuvo a Diddy de hacerle daño a Cassie, sino que también hubo otros incidentes durante su mandato como jefe de seguridad, que involucran a otras personas.

Por supuesto, su apoyo público a Cassie se produce luego de que su demanda fuera desestimada después de que ella y Diddy llegaran a un acuerdo. Así que, en lo que respecta a ayudarla, Roger llega, como se suele decir, un día tarde y un dólar corto.

Entonces, ¿qué saca con esto? Roger parece estar promocionando algún tipo de libro o documental, pues su post incluye los hashtags #2FacesTHEDOCUMENTARY y #ROGERBONDSMYTRUTH.

Bonds también dice que sufre de diabetes y que mientras trabajaba para Diddy utilizó esta dolencia para inventar excusas que le permitieran esquivar a su antiguo jefe.

Diddy's ex-security team leader is applying more public pressure to his former boss after being named in Cassie's lawsuit ... and he's claiming Cassie is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Diddy's alleged misdeeds.

In a fiery IG post Tuesday, Roger Bonds -- who worked with Diddy around a decade ago -- vowed to tell his side of the story, but interestingly ... he never uses Diddy's name. He does use Cassie's name, though.

In the lawsuit she filed against Diddy, Cassie named Roger, alleging he jumped in to stop Diddy from stomping on her car and attacking her back in 2009 in Los Angeles.

Roger backs up Cassie's story ... saying he not only stopped Diddy from harming Cassie, but he claims there were other such incidents involving other people during his security tenure.

Of course, his public support for Cassie comes after her lawsuit was recently dismissed after she and Diddy reached a settlement. So, as far as helping her, Roger is, as they say, a day late and a dollar short.

So, what's in it for him? Roger seems to be plugging a book or documentary of some sort. His post included the hashtags #2FacesTHEDOCUMENTARY and #ROGERBONDSMYTRUTH.

Bonds also says he suffers from diabetes and says, while working for Diddy, he used the ailment to make excuses for ducking and dodging his former boss.

Elon Musk tiene un mensaje para el CEO de Disney, Bob Iger, y todos los demás anunciantes que huyen de su plataforma de medios sociales: "No dejes que la puerta te golpee en la salida y vete a la mierda".

El propietario de X habló en la CNBC tras su reciente visita a Israel y a raíz de las acusaciones de antisemitismo disparó sobre el éxodo de las empresas que cortan lazos con él.

Échale un vistazo... dice que espera que dejen de hacer publicidad de forma permanente y luego dejó caer una muy clara "Vete a la mierda" proclamación a todo el mundo que está saltando del barco.

Se puede decir que el presentador se sorprendió por las palabras de Elon - especialmente en directo - por lo que, naturalmente, EM lo dijo de nuevo, y luego le preguntó si había sido claro. Desde luego que sí.

Elon explicó que se siente como si estuviera siendo chantajeado por estas empresas con la esperanza de pagar por los anuncios, e hizo hincapié en que no iba a sacrificar sus políticas de libertad de expresión para la ganancia monetaria ... incluso si, al parecer, significa perjudicar a su línea de fondo.

Curiosamente, Elon señaló a Iger en sus comentarios aquí, llamando juguetonamente a "Bob" como alguien que probablemente estaba viendo en la audiencia. De hecho, Disney fue una de las principales empresas que puso en pausa su publicidad con X... al igual que muchas otras.

Iger también se ha referido a ello hoy, antes del ataque de Elon, y ha dicho: "Sabemos que Elon es más grande que la vida en muchos aspectos, y que su nombre está muy relacionado con las empresas que ha fundado o de las que es propietario. Al adoptar la postura que adoptó de forma pública, sentimos que la asociación no era necesariamente positiva para nosotros."

Mark Cuban is bidding farewell to "Shark Tank" after 16 seasons ... and he's already circling the waters for his ideal successor.

The billionaire businessman tells TMZ that Emma Grede -- the co-founder of the Kardashians' fashion empires SKIMS and Good American - would be "insanely good" as a full-time Shark ... having guest-starred on the show before.

Mark heralds the 41-year-old as a brilliant entrepreneur ... with an extraordinary knack for helping companies grow with her experience.

What's more ... he's impressed with her natural ability to connect with others ... and says her television charisma also makes waves -- though, as of yet, auditions to find his replacement haven't begun.

Mark also gives us a splash of context on departing 'ST' -- which he first announced on the Showtime podcast "All The Smoke" Monday ... telling us his decision is rooted in wanting to hang out with his brood as he usually films every summer during family vacation.

He says at 14, 17, and 20, it's not long before they leave the nest ... so it's understandable he's cutting back.

As we previously reported ... Mark's also selling his majority stake in the NBA's Dallas Mavericks after buying the team in 2000 and overseeing the franchise's most successful run and only NBA title ... so the 'Tank' isn't the only thing Cuban's leaving behind.

Despite "Shark Tank" nibbling away at his personal time, he's cherished every aspect of the show ... from what it represents to the impact it's had on the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Mark Cuban se despide de "Shark Tank" después de 16 temporadas y ya está pensando en quién podría ser su sucesor ideal.

El empresario multimillonario y dueño de los Mavs, le dice a TMZ que Emma Grede— la co-fundadora de los imperios de moda de las Kardashians SKIMS y Good American— sería "increíblemente buena" como un tiburón a tiempo completo después de haber sido estrella invitada en el programa antes.

Mark dice que Emma (de 41 años de edad) es una empresaria brillante, con un extraordinario don para ayudar a las empresas a crecer con su experiencia.

Es más, está impresionado con su capacidad natural para conectar con los demás y dice que su carisma televisivo también hace olas. Aunque, hasta el momento, las audiciones para encontrar su reemplazo no han comenzado.

Mark también nos da un poco de contexto sobre la salida del show —que anunció por primera vez en el podcast de Showtime "All The Smoke" el lunes— diciéndonos que su decisión se basa en querer pasar el rato con su familia, ya que suele filmar todos los veranos durante las vacaciones.

Dice que sus hijos de 14, 17 y 20 años no tardarán en abandonar el nido, así que es comprensible que reduzca gastos.

Como informamos anteriormente ... Mark también está vendiendo su participación mayoritaria en los Dallas Mavericks de la NBA después de comprar el equipo en 2000 y supervisar la carrera más exitosa de la franquicia y el único título de la NBA, por lo que el "Tanque" no es lo único que Cuban está dejando atrás".

Jevon Holland didn't just make the Dolphins and their fans happy with his 99-yard touchdown last week ... he also got to upgrade his entertainment room AND line his pockets with some extra cash for the score too!!

The Dolphins safety broke the whole situation down with Michael Babcock on the "TMZ Sports TV Show" on FS1 on Tuesday ... revealing he had no idea what was about to come his way after he scored the improbable TD in a win over the Jets on Black Friday.

It turns out, as part of a preseason promo called the "Ultimate Gameday Upgrade," TCL was offering to hand out a million dollars worth of 98-inch TVs if a player scored a 98-yard-or-longer touchdown during the Friday Night Football contest.

And, after Holland did it ... TCL decided to make him a spokesperson as well as give him one of their 98-inchers -- things he was very clearly thrilled about.

"It was cool!" said the 23-year-old former second-round pick, who's still on his rookie contract. "I was excited."

Holland said all weekend he heard from fans who also received the 98-inch TVs as part of the promo ... and he thought all the love "was awesome."

In even more fortunate news for Holland, he also said he happens to have a wall big enough to fit the TV -- though just barely!!

Big news out of Big D ... Mark Cuban is selling his majority stake in the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, while still holding onto the reigns in basketball operations.

The billionaire is selling his majority stake to Miriam Adelson ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

While Mark is selling a stake reportedly valued at $3.5 billion, he will retain some shares in the team and be the lead decision-maker when it comes to basketball ops.

Cuban bought the team in 2000 for $285 million, so he’s getting a huge return on investment!

Miriam is the billionaire widow and heiress of Sheldon Adelson and his Las Vegas casino empire ... Forbes has her net worth at $32.3 billion, making her the fifth richest woman in the world.

Our sources say Adelson has plans to build a new arena for the Mavs, and, if a gambling bill passes in Texas, we’re told she might also build a casino in Dallas.

Miriam is reportedly selling $2 billion of her shares in Las Vegas Sands Group to make the Mavs purchase.

Under Cuban, the Mavericks have been perennial contenders in the NBA's Western Conference, winning the franchise's first and only NBA championship in 2011, defeating LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

Earlier this week, Cuban revealed he's leaving ABC's "Shark Tank" after the upcoming 16th season.

Lots going on in Mark’s world … including cohosting “TMZ’s Merry Elfin’ Christmas” special, premiering Dec. 5 in primetime on Fox!

Grandes noticias de Big D... Mark Cuban está vendiendo su participación mayoritaria en los Dallas Mavericks de la NBA, aunque todavía se aferra a las operaciones de baloncesto.

El multimillonario está vendiendo su participación mayoritaria a Miriam Adelson, según ha confirmado TMZ Sports.

Aunque Mark está vendiendo su participación supuestamente valorada en $3,5 mil millones, conservará algunas acciones en el equipo y será el principal responsable de la toma de decisiones cuando se trate de las operaciones relacionadas al baloncesto.

Cuban compró el equipo en 2000 por 285 millones de dólares, ¡así que está obteniendo grandes ganancias de su inversión!

Miriam es la multimillonaria viuda de Sheldon Adelson y heredera de su imperio de casinos en Las Vegas. Según Forbes, su patrimonio neto asciende a 32.300 millones de dólares, lo que la convierte en la quinta mujer más rica del mundo.

Según nuestras fuentes, Adelson planea construir un nuevo estadio para los Mavs y, si se aprueba una ley sobre el juego en Texas, también podría construir un casino en Dallas.

Al parecer, Miriam está vendiendo 2.000 millones de dólares de sus acciones en Las Vegas Sands Group para realizar la compra de los Mavs.

Bajo Cuban, los Mavericks han sido contendientes perennes en la Conferencia Oeste de la NBA, ganando el primer y único campeonato de la NBA de la franquicia en 2011, derrotando a LeBron James y los Miami Heat.

A principios de esta semana, Cuban reveló que dejará "Shark Tank" de ABC después de la próxima temporada 16.

La situación financiera de Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann es tan grave que la familia está recurriendo a anuncios de embarazo falsos relacionados con Brielle Biermann como una manera de hacer dinero.

Así es la cosa; en un post en redes sociales, Kim sugirió fuertemente que su hija Brielle estaba embarazada, compartiendo un sonograma y diciendo que estaba "TAN EXCITADA DE SER ABUELA".

Kim desactivó los comentarios en el post y compartió un artículo de noticias clickbait que dice: "¡Oh bebé! Brielle Biermann nos habló acerca de tener hijos y de cómo se siente acerca de que su mamá, Kim Zolciak, se convierta en abuela".

Resulta que todo es falso y es solo una idea de Kim para hacer dinero rápido.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que Brielle no está realmente embarazada, a pesar de la postura de Kim sugiriendo lo contrario. Esta es la razón por la que Kim está recibiendo un soborno financiero del artículo clickbait.

Las luchas financieras de Kim y Kroy han sido bien documentadas a partir del supuesto millón que le deben al IRS y varias demandas en su contra por facturas pendientes de pago.

Como te contamos por primera vez; a principios de este mes, Kim fue demandada por Bank of America por más de $50K en deudas de tarjetas de crédito. Kim también fue demandada en agosto por SAKS/CAPITAL ONE por no pagar una factura de tarjeta de crédito de $156K.

"Power Book II: Ghost" star Gianni Paolo says his Airbnb user reviews are trash ... and it's all because he refuses to go the extra mile tidying up ON TOP of forking out a $400 cleaning fee!!!

The guy earns his coins playing rich kid Brayden Weston on 50 Cent's hit series, but Gianni says his hard-earned money is being mismanaged thanks to Airbnb's fees and he hopped on TikTok to rip them a new one.

Gianni's message is clear ... $400 is more than enough to handle little things like making the bed and clearing off the counter.

He's not running an animal house -- Gianni says he's willing to leave the place in good standing. He'll even bag up the trash ... just don't expect him to take it out, too!

Airbnb disputes have been heavy this year ... Tyrese is currently in a legal war with a property owner who says he made illegal alterations to the residence he was renting.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's financial situation is so dire the family is turning to trick pregnancy announcements involving Brielle Biermann as a way to make money.

Here's the deal ... in a social media post, Kim strongly suggested daughter Brielle was pregnant, sharing a sonogram and saying she was "SO EXCITED TO BE A GRANDMA."

Kim turned comments off on the post and it links back to a clickbait news article reading, "Oh baby! Brielle Biermann spilled to us about having kids and how she feels about her mom Kim Zolciak becoming a grandma."

Turns out, it's all bogus and just a way for Kim to make a quick buck.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Brielle isn't actually pregnant despite Kim's post suggesting otherwise, and Kim is getting a financial kickback from the clickbait article.

Kim and Kroy's financial struggles have been well documented ... starting with the alleged $1 million they owe the IRS and various lawsuits against them for unpaid bills.

As we first told you ... earlier this month Kim was sued by Bank of America for over $50K in credit card debt. Kim was also sued in August by SAKS/CAPITAL ONE for failing to pay a $156K credit card bill.

50 Cent has been relentlessly roasting Diddy amid his legal settlement with former girlfriend Cassie and now wants to make him an offer we're sure Puff will refuse ... to buy his Revolt TV empire.

On Tuesday, 50 gleefully took to IG and told Diddy he'd take Revolt off his hands but needed to cut a deal as he predicted his trusty sponsors in Cadillac and AT&T would likely abandon ship.

50 insisted he and Diddy would be friends if he agreed to sell him the network and it probably wasn't all snark.

The G-Unit rapper has been looking for a home to place his TV shows such as the 'Power' and 'BMF' franchises and having his own platform would solidify his empire ... although the likelihood of Diddy accepting the offer is obviously slim to none.

TMZ broke the story earlier today ... Diddy temporarily stepped down as Chairman of Revolt, leaving the day-to-day operations to his CEO Detavio Samuels and Chief Brand Officer Deon Graham.

The Bad Boy Records mogul has been laying low in the aftermath of the new lawsuits he's facing ... for a pair of alleged rapes in the early 1990s -- which he's dismissed as a money grab each time.

Kroy Biermann is being dragged to court by Chase over what the bank says is more than $10,000 in credit card debt ... and Chase wants a judge to make him pay.

Kim Zolciak's hubby just got hit with a lawsuit by the banking giant -- and in the docs, obtained by TMZ, Chase is alleging he owes a total of $13,071.88 ... which the bank says is way past due.

Chase attached Kroy's credit card statements in their complaint, which show the fat balances starting to rack up since summer.

Kroy and Kim's financial issues have been well documented ... starting with the alleged seven-figure sum they owe the IRS.

As we've told you, BMW just won a case against Kroy over non-payment of a Rolls-Royce ... and just this month a judge ordered Kroy to return the $400,100 SV to the car company.

Kroy was also sued by Sky Warrior over a $52,500 gambling debt from a bad run at a casino down in the Bahamas.

Kroy Biermann está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por Chase por una deuda que ellos dicen asciende a más de $10,000 en su tarjeta de crédito y, por eso, quiere que un juez se haga cargo y consiga que les pague.

El marido de Kim Zolciak acaba de ser golpeado con una demanda del gigante bancario y en los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Chase alega que debe un total de $13,071.88 y que, según dicen, se encuentra muy atrasado.

En su demanda, Chase adjunta los estados de cuenta de la tarjeta de crédito de Kroy, que muestran los saldos adeudados, que han empezado a acumularse desde el verano.

Los problemas financieros de Kroy y Kim han sido bien documentados, a partir de la supuesta suma de siete cifras que deben al IRS.

Como les hemos contado, BMW acaba de ganar un caso contra Kroy por una factura impaga de un Rolls-Royce y justo este mes un juez ordenó que Kroy le devolviera $400,100 a la compañía de automóviles.

Kroy también fue demandado por Sky Warrior por una deuda de 52.500 dólares en apuestas, en una mala racha en un casino en las Bahamas.

9:12 AM PT -- Sofia Vergara's attorney, Marty Singer, tells TMZ it was actually Sofia who first sent a demand letter to RCH on October 4 ... claiming the company was responsible for $5 million in damages for overcharging Sofia, doing substandard work and delaying the project.

Singer says RCH never disputed the claims, but has now filed a lawsuit of their own ... Singer says he's confident Sofia will prevail and receive significant payment.

Sofia Vergara skipped out on paying a contractor more than $1.7 million for a huge renovation of her luxurious home in Beverly Hills ... or so the contractor claims in a new lawsuit.

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, the actress hired Reside Custom Homes in April 2022 to perform construction work on her $26 million mansion located in the Beverly Park neighborhood.

RCH claims Vergara agreed to pay for the work plus the contractor's fee, but claims she never followed through once the work was done.

RCH says the project was substantially completed by December 2022, but then Vergara allegedly asked for significant extra work beyond the scope of the agreement, which ended up extending the job until March 2023 ... when Sofia finally moved back into the home.

According to RCH, Vergara asked the contractor to install clay plaster in 3 powder rooms, an office, the dining room walls, the cabana bathroom and the guest house living room. She also wanted the company to remove and replace a flight of stairs.

RCH says it fronted the money for the additional work in order to finish the improvements and claims Vergara promised to pay the bill ... even allegedly telling RCH she'd approved one of the invoices for nearly $900K and "already" gave directions to her money manager to pay the bill.

But RCH says Sofia never followed through and now owes the company a whopping balance of $1,700,492.64.

We've reached out to Vergara's rep ... so far no word back.
