Banks says it went down at Scottsdale Hangar One in AZ Friday night ... at the big H.Wood homecoming party where Drake performed and, as we reported, big names like MGK, Cher, Lil Baby, Meek Mill and Odell Beckham Jr. were there tearing it up.
Scottsdale PD confirms a report for the stolen watch was filed, and you better believe the document highlights that approximate 6-figure value. What's really shocking is FaZe says the crook snatched it right off his body.
He says the piece fell off while he was walking through the crowd, but surveillance video shows him picking it up and putting it in one of his pockets ... only to have someone reach in and pick that pocket clean!!!.
The 31-year-old gaming legend told fans he's offering up $50K to anyone who can get it back for him ... adding this is the one timepiece in his collection that has sentimental value and is irreplaceable.

BEN AND J LO We're Showing Our Commitment ... With New Tattoos!!!
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are proving their devotion to one another ... by getting inked up.
Jen just revealed the recently married couple's new tattoos ... as part of a Valentine's Day post to her husband.
J Lo is sporting some new ink on her rib cage ... an infinity symbol with an arrow cutting straight through the middle.
The tattoo looks fresh, Jen still has a bandage on the ink, which makes it hard to make out the wording, though it appears both of their names are present.
Ben's tatt is a little bit different ... but it still incorporates Jen and their marriage. He's got a pair of intertwined arrows along with their initials "J" and "B."
Jennifer captioned the post "Commitment" and that seems to be a big theme here ... she included four hashtags ... #CommitmentIsSexy #ThisIsUsThen #ThisIsUsNow #ThisIsMeNow ... along with a photo dump.

Priscilla Presley I Didn't Give Elvis' Robe, Ring To Bam ... Don't Believe His Lies!!!

Exclusive
- 1.8K shares
5:01 PM PT -- Bam Margera is apologizing to Priscilla Presley and Navarone Garcia for his behavior ... and says she didn't give him the robe or the ring.
Nevertheless, Bam is seemingly continuing to maintain the robe and ring did once belong to Elvis Presley ... though in a lengthy Instagram post, he says Navarone, not Priscilla, was the one who gave him the memorabilia.
Bam says ... "Navarone gave me a robe and ring that I gave Phil to be a part of Phil’s Elvis stuff."
While Priscilla told us she and Navarone are done with Bam, it sounds like Bam's not done with Navarone ... because he says "I'm making Navarone a $10,000 Heartagram necklace because I love his band ... with hopes to record and tour."
Priscilla Presley's alleged friendship with Bam Margera appears short-lived, she's ripping the "Jackass" star for claiming she gave him one of Elvis' rings and robes ... telling us Bam made the whole thing up.
Priscilla tells TMZ ... Bam has betrayed not only her, but also her son Navarone Garcia, by falsely claiming she gifted him a couple of Elvis' personal items and filming in their home without her consent.
It's a stark rebuttal to what Bam told us earlier this month ... when he claimed Priscilla gave him a robe and a ring that once belonged to Elvis. Bam said he was going to pass the robe along to his dad, who is a big Elvis fan, and give the ring to Yelawolf, who Bam considers the new king of Rock 'n' Roll.
Remember ... the friendship seemingly popped up out of nowhere last week, when Bam posted pictures and videos of him hanging out with Priscilla.
Bam made it seem like he and Priscilla were buddies, but she says that statement couldn't be further from the truth. Instead, Priscilla tells us Navarone asked her to have a "new friend" come over for a visit, but she had no idea it was Bam "or that later he would choose to post photos and false stories."
Priscilla says Bam, "came over, talked non-stop about his new ventures and personal struggles and asked for a photo with me for his father, who is a big fan."
She continues ... "Unbeknownst to us at the time, Bam chose to circulate those photos accompanied by false information and storytelling. After what Bam has chosen to do, my son and I want no further communication with him. I consider him a dishonest and unstable individual. I had no idea who he was or that he was filming in my home without my consent."
What's more, Priscilla's camp says the robe did not belong to Elvis and the ring is actually one of Bam's.
Steve-O Bracing for Bam Margera's Death, Has Tried Everything for Sobriety
Priscilla adds ... "At no time during the visit did I give him anything of Elvis'. I still have everything he ever touched. I would never disrespect Elvis who was the love of my life by giving away anything that belonged to him. I have always protected them for the fans. Elvis belonged to all of you and I cherish my life with him too much to ever squander anything."
As you know, Bam's been accused of falling off the wagon in his sobriety battle ... and Priscilla tells us she hopes Bam "gets the help he needs and does what is right."

Cardi B & Offset Hit Up Times Square McDonald's ... Lovin' Our Collab Meal!!!
FEBRUARY 2023
Cardi B and Offset are spendin' Valentine's Day together at the golden arches for the unveiling of their collab meal, and they certainly weren't alone ... because a MASSIVE swarm of fans met them there.
The happy couple hit up the Times Square McDonald's Tuesday, and if ya didn't know that location is one of the busiest in the world ... you'd definitely know it after seeing the scene the couple created.
The entire staff was eagerly waitin' for them too, cheering them on as they walked up to the counter to get their grub bags.
They also had a kiss cam in the building for Cardi and Offset to snap some pics -- and they even ended up on the Jumbotron outside the restaurant for all of Times Square to see!
TMZ broke the story ... sources connected to the couple told us they shot their Super Bowl ad around Christmas time, and the final product introduced the couple's new meal to millions of viewers on Sunday.
For those interested, the Cardi B & Offset meal comes with some burgers, a large fry (to share, duh) some drinks and an apple pie "to keep it sweet" -- okurr!!!

Megan Fox And MGK Ridin' Round Town Together On V-Day Amid Breakup Rumors
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly may or may not be riding together until the wheels fall off -- but on the heels of their possible breakup, they're at least driving around together.
Megan and MGK were spotted in his Escalade Tuesday morning ... he was behind the wheel while she rode shotgun as they left his L.A. area home.
It's significant because it's not any ol' Tuesday -- the engaged couple is spending Valentine's Day together just a couple days after Megan strongly hinted on social media they're done.
You'll recall, she dropped a series of photos over the weekend, where she appeared to be burning something, and wrote, "You can taste the dishonesty it’s all over your breath" ... a caption she snatched from Beyoncé's song "Pray You Catch Me".
This obviously set off alarms for fans, considering that song is from Bey's Lemonade album, which is allegedly all about Jay-Z cheating on her.
MF also unfollowed all but 3 people -- Timothee Chalamet, Harry Styles, and Eminem, who has major beef with MGK ... before deleting all posts with her fiance, and then her IG page altogether.
The two got engaged back in January 2022 and seemed to be getting on just fine ... at least, up until their Super Bowl weekend in AZ.
Perhaps just a bump in the road they're now trying to drive over. 🤷🏽♂️

Snoop Dogg's lockout of Death Row Records' catalog on streaming services is finally over -- Tha Doggfather's linked with TikTok's new music arm, SoundOn.
The exclusive welcome party will extend throughout the week on TikTok ... before the legendary rap tunes return to traditional digital streaming platforms.
Snoop removed the Death Row catalog from streaming in March 2022 ... and at the time, outlined a plan to have the music live on in its own metaverse within a full-functioning app.
Those plans appeared to have since fizzled. Dr. Dre recently threw a party to celebrate his own debut album, "The Chronic," returning to streaming and its original label home of Interscope.
To compensate for the lulls, Snoop and TikTok went halfsies on a custom Death Row playlist ... because not a day goes by without someone asking him to restore the catalog online.
"As the Super Bowl rolled around, I knew fans would be looking for the music from our iconic performance in 2022, so I wanted to reintroduce the most historic catalog to the people. I reached out to the folks at TikTok to make more history ... enjoy ya'll."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The house that Suge Knight built pushed out classics such as Snoop's debut "Doggystyle," Tha Dogg Pound's history-making Billboard chart-topper "Dogg Food" and 2Pac's diamond-selling "All Eyez On Me."

Drake Judge Says No Deposition Needed In XXXTENTACION Murder Trial

Exclusive

Drake's wish is officially granted -- he will not be grilled by a defense attorney about XXXTentacion's murder ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.
Judge Michael A. Usan signed off on Drake's motion to avoid the deposition ... tossing the court's previous order calling for him to sit down later this month and answer questions.
Defense attorney Mauricio Padilla, who reps suspect Dedrick Williams, previously argued Drake needed to be present for questioning due to an old beef between XXX and him.
Drake's attorney, Bradford Cohen, though, told the court Drizzy has no relevant information to add to the case -- and the judge agreed.
It is possible Padilla could convince the judge there's some other cause for Drake to be deposed, and get a new subpoena -- but with the trial already underway, the clock's ticking.
For now, though, Champagne Papi won't be involved.

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins Joins 'Big Red Boots' Craze ... Stomps Miz During Raw!
What's worse than getting stomped by Seth Rollins?! Getting stomped by the WWE Superstar as he rocks a pair of MSCHF's "Big Red Boot" ... the viral/trendy footwear that's reselling for over $1K and is all the rage among celebs!
On last night's episode of Raw, Rollins came out to the ring at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to confront The Miz ... and it was impossible not to notice his choice of footwear.
Seth was cutting a promo calling out Logan Paul for being an attention-seeker ... when Miz clowned him for wearing the "stupid Super Mario boots."
Austin Theory interrupted the segment, but Rollins temporarily got rid of him, before turning his attention back to Miz, and delivering his signature "Curb Stomp" finisher, boots and all.
Seth is the first WWE star to appear on TV wearing the popular boots, but he isn't the only famous person joining the wave, and he won't be the last.
Diplo pulled up to Madison Square Garden Monday night and was seen wearing the boots courtside while he took in the Nets-Knicks game in a battle for New York.
Last week, Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit up Crypto.com Arena (the night LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer) sporting the boots.

O.T. Genasis thinks Donald Trump's critique of Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime performance was outta line, considering the megastar is pregnant with her second child!!!
We caught O.T. Monday at LAX, and he doesn't cap like it was the greatest SB performance he's seen ... but he totally believes Rihanna had some limitations going into show.
And he would be right ... Rihanna admitted to changing the setlist dozens of times and sources close to the production recently told TMZ ... she concealed her pregnancy for all the rehearsals ... a balancing act in and of itself.
While O.T. disagreed with Trump's scathing attack ... he agrees with the growing notion 2 of rap's most buzzing female stars -- GloRilla and Ice Spice -- need to invest in more henchmen as their popularity increases.
Both had viral incidents this week ... Glo had a drink thrown at her as she left an Oakland nightclub, and Ice just had her show end early when a fan tried to grab her, creating all-out pandemonium!!!

12:07 PM PT -- Ryan McKenna's mom, Tracy, tells TMZ ... her son was NOT drunk and he was just horsing around with his friends at CPK. She says one of Ryan's friends pulled a chair out from under him and that's when he pushed the table, trying to be funny.
Ryan McKenna is learning life comes at you fast ... 5 years ago he was cheesing with Justin Timberlake in a viral Super Bowl moment at age 13, and on the eve of this year's big game cops say he was drunk and fighting with friends in a California Pizza Kitchen.
Ryan, famous for snapping a selfie with Justin on live TV in front of 113.7 million viewers during the Super Bowl 52 halftime show, had another eventful Super Bowl weekend ... only this time, we've learned he ended up in jail on a felony charge.
According to the arrest report, obtained by TMZ, cops were called to a shopping center in Naples, FL on Saturday night for a report of a man who was drunk and hitting his friend inside a CPK.
When police arrived, officers say a 15-year-old boy told them he was friends with Ryan but they had gotten into an argument that escalated to the point where 18-year-old Ryan stood up and aggressively pushed their table and started yelling obscenities at the boy's girlfriend.
Cops say they were talking to the 15-year-old when Ryan interrupted and started arguing with the boy. Police say Ryan was asked to step away but he kept arguing with the boy until cops got Ryan to calm down, step away and wait.
Police say shopping center security asked to have Ryan escorted off the property ... and while explaining the process to Ryan, cops say his behavior turned aggressive ... waving his arms, yelling and trying to approach the 15-year-old boy.
Cops say they put their hands on Ryan's chest to stop him from confronting the kid, but Ryan continued yelling and grabbed the officers' hands and removed them from his chest.
Police say that's when they tried to place Ryan in handcuffs and detain him ... officers claim he resisted, so they took him to the ground, where they say he continued resisting until finally putting his hands behind his back and getting cuffed.
Cops say Ryan was hauled off to Naples Jail Center and booked for felony battery on a law enforcement officer and two misdemeanors -- resisting arrest and obstruction of an officer.

Patrick Mahomes Couldn't Watch Rihanna At Halftime ... Coach Wouldn't Let Us!!!
Not a single Kansas City Chief was included in the 100-plus million people who caught Rihanna's halftime show on Sunday ... with Patrick Mahomes revealing Monday that Andy Reid threatened to bench anyone who left the locker room for it.
The K.C. star quarterback told Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that his head coach was dead serious in his chat with the team about it all, too.
"Coach Reid told us, he said, 'If you go out to watch the performance, just keep walking,'" Mahomes said, "'because you're not playing the rest of the game.'"
Of course, players ditching halftime adjustment talks to watch the big Super Bowl show is not unprecedented -- just last year, Bengals star kicker Evan McPherson was spotted watching Dr. Dre, Snoop and Eminem do their thing instead of being at his locker with his team. One of his coaches later panned him for it.

Doesn't seem anyone went against Reid's wishes this year -- no Chiefs player was spotted as Rihanna sang hit after hit after hit on the middle of the field -- but Mahomes said he had at least been told it was a good show.
Don't feel too bad for the guy, though, Mahomes still got to enjoy plenty of momentous experiences after the game -- raging with The Chainsmokers and then eventually hitting Disneyland with Mickey Mouse!

Playboi Carti was arrested in Georgia for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend following an argument over a paternity test.
According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, the woman told police the rapper grabbed her by her throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe. She even told cops she thought she was going to die.
Police say the woman told officers she's been in a relationship with Playboi Carti for 2 years, has lived with him since July 2022 and was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged incident on Dec. 20.
The woman told cops she wanted to talk to Playboi Carti about the baby and a conversation about a paternity test led to an argument, which she claims escalated to a physical attack. She told police a witness jumped in to try and break up the fight, and when she was able to escape Carti's grasp, she ran to her car ... where she claims he attacked her again.
The alleged victim told cops Carti tried pulling her out of the car and put his hand over her mouth as she tried to use the vehicle's SOS feature to call police. When cops arrived, police say the woman had visible injuries to her neck, chest and back.
Playboi Carti [real name: Jordan Carter] was arrested for felony aggravated assault.
His attorney, Brian Steel, tells TMZ..."Mr. Carter was falsely accused. Pursuant to my communications with the Fulton County District Attorney‘s office, this case will be dismissed without any prosecution or litigation."

Danny Trejo Filing for Bankruptcy ... But Only to Escape Personal Debt

Exclusive
- 3.3K shares
Danny Trejo is filing for bankruptcy -- but it's not because the dude is broke or anything ... he's just got a nagging bill with the IRS that would best be resolved this way.
The legendary actor tells TMZ ... he's filing Tuesday for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which mostly has to do with reorganizing his assets to help deal with this debt he owes Uncle Sam -- which he says is about $2 million in taxes.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Part of the reason he fell into this hole ... Danny says he was mistakenly claiming deductions over the years that caught up with him. He even jokingly tells us he now realizes that dog grooming isn't a legit expense you can write off. 😅
A quick note -- while Danny is personally filing for bankruptcy, his many businesses -- including his record label, his coffee/donut shops and, of course, his famed Trejo's Tacos -- are doing just fine ... and aren't affected by this.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Those enterprises are owned by corporations and LLCs he's created to run them, and we've been assured his own financial woes are not a reflection of how those are producing. On the contrary, all indications suggest Danny's doing swimmingly in the free market.
As for when he expects to put this whole mess behind him, Danny tells us he expects to be fully debt-free by sometime next year ... and that this is just a means to an end.
