Macklemore is putting his money where his mouth is ... pledging to donate the $1 million he earned on Ed Sheeran's "Loop" Tour to Palestinian relief groups ... and challenging Robert Kraft to match him.

The rapper announced Wednesday he's donating the entirety of his net earnings from the tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians -- Anera, UNRWA USA, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Gaza Soup Kitchen, HEAL Palestine and PCRF - Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

And Macklemore made sure Kraft got the message ... writing, "Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting" ... before inviting the Patriots owner to match the $1 million donation.

Cam Skattebo was running out of patience ... before he ever hit the field.

TMZ Sports broke the story Sunday ... Skattebo got stuck outside MetLife Stadium before the Giants-Cowboys game on Sunday Night Football ... and now, new video shows exactly how chaotic Cam's plight was.

The clip shows the star running back stuck in traffic Sunday afternoon ... hanging out the driver window of a souped-up pickup and trying to get security's attention to let him in the parking lot ASAP.

Stefon Diggs' male sexual assault accuser, Christopher Griffith, wants their legal battle moved to a courthouse far away from the NFL star's home stadium ... due to fears the jurors will want to protect their franchise player to win football games ... TMZ has learned.

Christopher filed court docs asking for the ongoing lawsuit against Stefon for alleged sexual battery to be moved to a courthouse further away from the Washington Commanders stadium in Prince George's County, Maryland.

Stefon signed with the team in August ... and scored a touchdown in their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The folks who call the shots for the Super Bowl halftime show have two megastars at the top of their list for the 2027 event ... Justin Bieber and Harry Styles.

Sources tell us both singers are high on Roc Nation's short list. Jay-Z and his company are partnered with the NFL, and as the league's "live music entertainment strategist," Jay has final say on the halftime performer.

We're told Justin and Harry have not been approached about the show yet ... and sources tell us Justin and Harry are both unlikely to take the gig if they are finally approached. 

12:32 PM PT -- Robert Kraft has fired back at Macklemore ... accusing him of crossing the line with antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.

Macklemore says Robert Kraft and a group of other stadium owners basically shut the door on him ... he claims the New England Patriots owner told Ed Sheeran the singer could not play at his venue if Macklemore was involved.

In a lengthy statement shared to Instagram on Monday, Macklemore says Ed told him Kraft called after the rapper's pro-Palestine comments at MetLife Stadium went viral ... with Kraft allegedly saying Macklemore would not be allowed to perform at Gillette Stadium, which Kraft owns.

Macklemore claims Kraft then got other stadium owners on board ... and Ed was handed an ultimatum -- drop Macklemore or lose access to their stadiums.

Cam Skattebo wasn't exactly first through the doors at MetLife Sunday ... and when he finally rolled up, even getting through the gate turned into a whole thing.

TMZ Sports obtained a photo of the Giants running back outside an entry gate around 5:50 PM ET Sunday ... hanging out of a souped-up pickup truck while trying to get inside.

We're told Skattebo was heard yelling, "Let me in! I'm the running back!" ... which is one hell of a way to introduce yourself before kickoff.

Shailene Woodley's friends are alarmed Aaron Rodgers is publicly discussing their past relationship ... and they say the married NFL star hasn't spoken with his ex-fiancée in more than two years.

Sources close to Shailene tell TMZ ... Aaron knew she was a private person and appeared to respect that when they were together, making his recent podcast comments feel completely out of character.

One source put it bluntly ... "We're questioning why a married dude is bringing up an ex he hasn't spoken with in over 2 years."

Druski better watch his back ... and we mean that literally -- because Antonio Brown has promised to rough him up big time as payback for a recent skit.

The former NFL star called out the comedian during an on-the-street interview ... after he was asked if he thought the Druski sketch about CTE took shots at him.

Remember, this is the video which starts with Druski taking a hard hit on the football field, developing CTE, and then going crazy ... getting into a car chase and a whole lot more.

AB says it's possibly a joke at his expense ... and he's clearly not a fan ... issuing a bunch of violent threats.

Aaron Rodgers just dropped a bombshell about his failed relationship with Shailene Woodley ... claiming she told him she needed to "go f*** this guy" before they got married.

The NFL star aired some alleged dirty laundry about his former fiancée on his teammate Cam Heyward's "Not Just Football" podcast, claiming Shailene wanted to get one last hookup out of her system before they tied the knot.

And, get this ... Aaron says Shailene's story about their breakup doesn't line up with his version of events.

Aaron Rodgers has shared exactly how his watershed reconciliation with younger brother Jordan Rodgers went down ... and it wasn't without its difficult moments.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback told his teammate Cam Heyward on the "Not Just Football" podcast that he met up with Jordan after reuniting with his estranged parents, Ed and Darla Rodgers, in his hometown of Chico, California, back in April.

Aaron said ... "A couple weeks after that, [I] went out to Nashville, met up with my older brother, and a couple weeks after that, met up with my little brother.”

Josh Jacobs is resolving the criminal charges in his battery case ... pleading no contest to two misdemeanor charges stemming from an alleged violent altercation with his girlfriend.

The Green Bay Packers star appeared in a Wisconsin courtroom Thursday and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property.

Jacobs was ordered to have no contact with the woman, attend counseling and pay her restitution ... and he was slapped with a $1,000 fine on the battery charge. His attorney told the court Jacobs has already voluntarily started counseling.

Aaron Rodgers is still pissed at ESPN for not doggedly reporting on Dianna Russini's relationship with Mike Vrabel ... especially after he says they blew up the Jed York prostitution scandal.

The NFL QB -- who is entering his final season -- dove into the criticism on his teammate Cam Heyward's "Not Just Football" podcast ... explaining he's pissed because he thinks ESPN is overlooking the implications from the Russini-Vrabel relationship.

Aaron says ESPN spends a ton of time on certain issues, but not the ones he thinks are important ... specifically going off on the company for its wall-to-wall coverage of York's no-contest plea to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools after allegedly agreeing to pay a woman $140 for sex.

Fake 49ers player Daejon Love was still repping the NFL team when the feds finally caught up with him ... we obtained video of his arrest, and he's wearing Niners colors.

The clip shows Love outside Boise Airport on August 24, exiting a white Corvette as law enforcement takes him into custody. He still appears to be wearing a 49ers headband and shirt -- seemingly committed to the bit right up until the cuffs went on.

His alleged accomplice, Taylor Chan, can also be seen getting arrested in the video.

Former NFL star Marcellus Wiley's estranged wife, Annemarie Wiley, scored a major legal victory in their divorce ... she's getting court-ordered protection against him and sole custody of their kids ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, Marcellus has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Annemarie and their three kids ... other than during monitored visits. CA Post was the first to report.     

Per the order, Marcellus will start with monitored visits with his kids ... twice during the week and once on the weekend ... and after proof that he's completed 5 court-ordered domestic violence classes, he can have those visits unmonitored.

Daejon Love allegedly couldn't be pinned down by one woman trying to sue him ... so she says she built a Facebook group to help track him down ... and relied on his other alleged victims for help.

According to Oregon court docs, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Gwendolynn Rose Herndon sued the alleged fake 49ers player in small claims court back in March 2025 ... seeking $10,000 in damages.

Herndon claimed she sent Love $7,000 through Apple Pay for what he pitched as an investment ... and says he personally took her to the bank to pull out another $3,000 in cash.
