Ashley Graham My Husband Got A Vasectomy
Ashley Graham isn't looking to expand her family, revealing her husband actually had a vasectomy to prevent any chance of having more kiddos in the future.
Ashley got candid on the 'Milk Drunk' podcast, founded by Bobbie -- an organic formula company. The model was chatting it up about parenthood and her plans for the future before being asked if she was hoping to have any more children.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
However, AG makes it clear, her hubby Justin Ervin is in "full vasectomy mode" and "shooting blanks". In other words ... it ain't happening!!!
Ashley and Justin tied the knot in 2010, and they've since welcomed three kids together.
Of course, it seems as though the mommy and model already has a lot on her plate. You'll recall her recent Oscars gig ... though she wound up having a very awkward exchange with Hugh Grant.
Regardless, she pushed through it all with a smile... which she seems to be doing in motherhood and beyond.

His season might be over, but New York Mets star closer Edwin Díaz was still in great spirits in his hospital room on Thursday ... updating his fans and thanking them for their support after undergoing surgery on his right knee.

Díaz -- whose game entrance has gone viral for being the most hype moment you can experience at a baseball game -- assured Mets fans they'll hear "Narco" by Timmy Trumpet and Blasterjaxx soon enough.

BJ Flores -- Jake Paul's boxing trainer -- was terrifyingly shot in a robbery attempt in Colombia on Friday ... but, thankfully, it appears he's going to be OK.
The former fighter, who began working with Paul in 2021, said the incident happened when he was at a stop light while vacationing in Medellín.
Flores said two armed motorcycle drivers pulled up to him while he was in the passenger seat of a car at a red light, and pointed a gun at his forehead.
They "tried to steal my wallet and my watch," the 44-year-old said in a social media post. "They shot me one time in the leg and I defended myself the best way I could."
Flores, fortunately, got away ... and immediately raced to the emergency room. He said docs told him a bullet was still lodged in his thigh.
According to his social media page, Flores is currently undergoing surgery to remove it.
Prior to going under, Flores captured his injuries on camera ... showing a knot on his head, a cut on his hand, and a bloody wound on his leg. He added that he believes the shooting was a targeted attack.
"Thank you for the well wishes," Flores wrote on his IG. "I will learn from this….. Be safe out there please. Life is precious. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I love you all."
Flores fought professionally from 2003 to 2018 -- piling up a record 34-4-1. He met Paul in retirement, sparring with the YouTuber before eventually taking over full-time training duties for the aspiring boxer.
Paul has yet to comment on the shooting.

Lonzo Ball Undergoing Cartilage Transplant Surgery ... NBA Career Reportedly In Jeopardy

3:23 PM PT -- The Chicago Bulls revealed late Thursday afternoon Lonzo Ball will be undergoing a cartilage transplant procedure ... and is now out indefinitely.
"The organization is behind him, and he has our full support," the team said in a statement. "Our training and medical staff continue their commitment to Lonzo's rehabilitation and to working with him throughout this next phase to ensure his healthy return to basketball."
Added Ball, "This has been a frustrating process, but I’m confident these next steps are the best path forward. The support of my family, friends, fans and medical staff throughout my recovery is what keeps me moving forward. I can’t wait to get back to what I love doing most – playing basketball."
Lonzo Ball's NBA career is reportedly hanging by a thread -- the Chicago Bulls star is having a third surgery performed on his knee in a 14-month span ... but there's hope the procedure will pave the way for his eventual return to the court.
The news just went public minutes ago ... with ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski saying there is concern Ball -- who hasn't played since January 2022 due to his injury -- may not fully recover from the ailment ... which would impact his ability to play at the highest level.
The report states the surgery could keep 25-year-old Ball out for at least another year ... but after weighing his options for several days, the guard elected to go under the knife again to try and fix the issue once and for all.
Lonzo was the second overall pick to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017 ... and has since played for the New Orleans Pelicans and Bulls.
Chicago has struggled without Ball this season ... going 31-37 through 68 games.
Here's hoping the surgery goes well and Ball can get back out there.

Get well soon, Edwin!!

Def Leppard Drummer Rick Allen Allegedly Assaulted At Florida Hotel ... Suffers Head Injury
Def Leppard's one-armed drummer Rick Allen suffered a head injury after cops say he was violently assaulted by a teenager in an apparent sneak attack at a South Florida hotel.
According to an arrest report, obtained by TMZ, Allen was puffing on a cigarette as the suspect was lying in wait behind a pole outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Police say the teen suspect, Max Hartley, then ran toward Allen at full speed, striking him and knocking him backward and slamming his head on the ground.
The report says a woman came out of the hotel to try to help Allen, but Hartley also knocked her to the ground.
The woman got up and tried to run back into the hotel, but cops say Hartley grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back outside.
Hartley fled to another hotel nearby, but was ultimately arrested after he allegedly damaged numerous cars in a parking garage. The 19-year-old was booked for elder abuse, battery and criminal mischief. He was later released after posting bail.
Def Leppard and their 59-year-old drummer were in South FL to co-headline a Sunday concert with Mötley Crüe at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
You might recall ... Allen's left arm was severed in a 1984 car accident. Doctors initially reattached his limb, but then had to amputate it because of an infection. Using his right arm and both feet, Allen has continued on as the band's drummer.
We reached out to Def Leppard's reps for an update on Rick's condition ... so far no word back.

LeBron James Signs Young Fan's 'I Promise' Book ... During Lakers Game
LeBron James is still sidelined with an injury, but that didn't stop him from making a highlight play on Tuesday -- the L.A. superstar had an adorable moment with a young fan when he penned a special message in a copy of his "I Promise" book for her!!
James was on the bench as his Lakers defeated the Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans ... but when he wasn't cheering on his teammates, he was busy connecting with a little girl in the stands named Parker, who was wearing a purple and gold #6 James jersey.
"Dear Parker, Nice meeting you!" LeBron said of the interaction on Instagram. "You’re a beautiful Young Black Queen! Don’t let nothing stop u from being whatever your mind and heart desires! Just from our short encounter yesterday I know you’re destined for greatness and i will always love you!!!"
"God bless you and best wishes to you ♾️🤎! Sincerely Mr. LeBron James aka Bugs Bunny friend!"
Of course, the "I Promise" book, published in 2020, shares the same name as the "I Promise" school that James helped start in Akron, Ohio ... and it reminds kids that success starts with them.
After James finished writing in the book ... he shared a warm embrace with the little girl, and it appears she mouths, "Thank you," to the 4-time MVP before walking away.
As we previously reported, James was working out and getting up some free throws at the team's shootaround earlier Tuesday ... the first time since he went down with the tendon injury.
James -- initially ruled out for three weeks -- has ditched the walking boot that had Lakers Nation holding their collective breath, and his most recent Instagram post indicates his return is imminent.

Suns forward Torrey Craig will have to make an unexpected visit to the dentist chair today ... and it's all thanks to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who accidentally knocked a tooth out of the dude's mouth during a game on Tuesday night.
The painful moment happened in the third quarter of Milwaukee's tilt with Phoenix ... when Giannis was trying to blow by Craig to get to the basket.

As the Bucks superstar was dribbling, though, he stuck out his elbow -- and inadvertently smashed it into Craig's mouth.
The 32-year-old went crashing to the ground ... and a few seconds later, cameras showed he was searching on the court for a tooth he had lost in the collision with the 7-foot, two-time MVP.

Broadcast cameras showed Craig was able to eventually find it ... and, yeah, it was kinda gross.
Craig somehow stayed in the game ... but to add insult to injury, his team went on to lose, 116-104.
He and Giannis, however, didn't appear to have any bad blood over the collision -- the two former Milwaukee teammates were seen chattin' it up after the contest, smiling.
Maybe Giannis agreed to foot the dentist bill as an apology?

Dr. Fauci Woman Collapses, Is There a Doctor in the House? Dr. Fauci to the Rescue!!!
Dr. Fauci helped save the day for a woman who went down during a fancy dinner in D.C. -- and someone caught part of the action on camera.
The nation's most prominent doc -- who was at the forefront during COVID -- was one of many bigwigs at the Gridiron Dinner Saturday ... a black-tie affair where journos, politicos and related company gathered to break bread and talk shop.
At some point, a lady in the crowd collapsed ... injuring herself from the fall, so says speechwriter Chandler Dean -- who detailed the scary incident.

He writes, "Last night at the Gridiron Dinner in DC, maybe 10 feet from me and @sarahagruen, a woman collapsed, hit her head on a table, and was laying on the floor without moving."
He goes on to explain ... "People gather trying to help, but no one is sure what to do. Someone goes to find a doctor. They found one."
Thankfully, she was okay. And the good doctor posed for a photo with her, documenting one of the best “only in Washington” stories of all time!

That man would be Fauci himself, who's pictured crouching down in his tux and attending to the woman in need. It's not quite clear what exactly he did to treat her, but he was certainly by her side ... and it sounds like she was alright in the end.
Dean later clarified she was able to get to her feet and continued on just fine at the dinner, after a little bit of rest. Another speechwriter, Eric Schnure, chimed in as well ... saying Dr. Fauci even posed with the woman afterward and confirmed she was, in fact, OK.
Just another day in the life of a real-life hero!

David Blaine Pops Dislocated Shoulder Back In ... During Live Vegas Show

Exclusive Details

David Blaine told a Las Vegas crowd that he'd seriously hurt himself during a gig this weekend -- but rather than throw in the towel ... he called in the cavalry to push through.
The famed magician was performing his magic show at the Resorts World hotel, and toward the beginning ... he did a stunt where he jumped from a 9-story scaffolding structure within the theater into a foam pit below, only to complain of pain right after ... so say eyewitnesses.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We're told he expressed over his mic that he'd dislocated his shoulder, and tried having crew members work on it live. Apparently, it was pretty obvious he was in pain and struggling.
The stagehands couldn't get the job done, so DB went to Plan B ... calling on any doctors in the crowd to come forward and help him out, which a handful then did on the spot. They took turns trying to pop his shoulder back in, and after some time -- finally succeeded.
Witnesses say that wasn't the end of it though ... Dave took another pause later in the show, but came back out and finished strong, which ticket holders seemed to appreciate. A source close to the illusionist tells us he's fine and that the show must, and did, go on.

Eddie Alvarez Talks Move To Bare Knuckle Boxing ... Luke Rockhold, Too! 👊
"I don't think fans wanna tune in to see me wrestle. They damn sure don't tune in to see me do Brazilian jiu-jitsu. So, why not cut the fat and get right to the meat and potatoes."
That's former UFC and Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez, 39 -- one of the greatest lightweight mixed martial artists in history -- on why he's decided to leave MMA for bare knuckle boxing.
Alvarez recently inked a deal with BKFC ... and will fight 37-year-old fellow former UFC star Chad Mendes on April 29.
The men have over 60 pro MMA fights combined (Eddie has 40), but Alvarez points out the sports are considerably different, including the fact that cuts are very prevalent.
"There's a lot of little subtleties that I learned when I went to the event myself. Usually you get cut about a minute or two into the fight, typically there's a cut that goes on and you have to learn and you gotta learn to fight with that," Eddie says.
And, cuts are a serious factor, according to Alvarez, who says seeing one's own blood can screw with a fighter's head.
"Some guys could be world champs, undefeated. Never seen their own blood and when they do, you get to see the bitch in them real quick. You need to see your own blood a few times," Eddie tells us, adding, "I'm very familiar with my own blood. I know what it tastes like, smells like, and oftentimes I don't feel like I'm in a fight until I'm cut."
The Underground King says there are more differences between the sport.
"There's even smaller margin for error. And it's a sprint, not a marathon. You need to be ready when that bell rings. There's no feeling out process."
Eddie and Chad aren't the only combat sports stars on the card. Former UFC champ Luke Rockhold is also boxing former UFC star "Platinum" Mike Perry the same night, and we spoke to the 38-year-old fighter.
"It's different, it's intriguing, and it's f****** scary. F****** crazy shit. I'm a f****** crazy man."
Aside from being a great fighter, Rockhold's also a model (he was previously the face of a Polo Ralph Lauren advertising campaign), so we asked him he if was concerned about his moneymaker getting damaged (see Eddie's comments above about the cuts).
"Do I seem like I'm worried about my face?" Luke joked, adding ... "Mike Perry should be worried about his face cause I plan on putting it right on his f****** nose!"
"I wanna make that nose a little more crooked."

Remember, Big E suffered the injury during a tag-team match on "Smackdown" in Birmingham, Alabama last March ... after he was picked up and dropped on his head.

It wasn't just Big E's wrestling future people were worried about at the time ... but also whether he would have any serious health concerns moving forward.
We spoke with Big E at LAX last week ... and the former WWE champ told us he's close to finding out if his scary injury will keep him from lacing up the boots again.
"I gotta see what the scans say," E said. "Talk to doctors, and then go from there."
Big E said he won't "rush to judgments" on his health until he sees how everything looks ... adding he's not sweating the results either way.
"Right now, before I know anything, I'm not going to make any rush to judgments or anything. See how everything looks."
Big E says he's not dealing with any anxiety as he awaits his scans ... adding, "Everything isn't permanent. If it comes to an end, cool. If doesn't, cool. What will be, will be. I'm good with whatever."
And, for anyone going through similar obstacles ... E has a special message for you. Check out the clip.

Tony Hawk He's Baaaaack!!! ... Hits Insane Skate Tricks 1-Year After Leg Break
Tony Hawk proved yet again he's got Superman-like blood in his veins -- hitting insane tricks at an event Thursday night, just one year after he suffered a severely broken leg that many thought might end his career.
Hawk wowed a huge crowd as part of some skating entertainment at a business summit in Salt Lake City ... getting huge air while riding as if he hadn't just mangled his leg in a ramp accident 12 months ago.
The 54-year-old hit trick after trick after trick -- and the audience loved it, cheering him on as he strung together an awesome line.
Hawk eventually slid down the half pipe on his knees to a huge applause.
Of course, just one year ago on March 7, 2022, a lot of people in the skate world -- perhaps even Hawk himself -- didn't think this would be possible ... after he badly broke his femur while trying to do a McTwist.
Hawk at the time had hoped to simply walk again "unaided." He suffered a setback in November, too, which further clouded his skating future.
But, Tony is clearly now approaching 100 percent ... and in an Instagram post earlier this week, he said he was super grateful for the recovery.
"Thank you for all of the support through this tumultuous journey," he wrote. "The wheels have not fallen off yet."

Kevin Durant Badly Rolls Ankle Before Game ... Out At Least 2 Weeks
4:07 PM PT -- Kevin Durant will miss at least two weeks as he deals with the injury, according to Shams Charania.
The swelling has gone down in his ankle ... but a decision on his return won't be made until after he rehabs for a bit.
Hold your breath, Suns fans ... Kevin Durant injured his ankle during pregame warm-ups on Wednesday night -- and now, there's fear the ailment could keep him out of the rest of the regular season.
The new Phoenix superstar was getting in some shots before what was supposed to be his first-ever home game as a Sun against the Thunder at Footprint Center ... when his left leg buckled.
You can see in video of the play, Durant's ankle folded on itself ... sending the 34-year-old crashing to the hardwood in pain.
Kevin Durant took a fall while warming up for his first home game with the Suns 😳

The forward -- who was just traded from Brooklyn to Phoenix last month -- popped back up and continued warm-ups for a little bit ... but he ultimately went into the locker room for further evaluation, and didn't return.
KD ended up missing the game -- and he was seen leaving the arena in a walking boot. Later on Wednesday night, the Arizona Republic reported he now could miss the next four-to-six weeks.
The Suns went on to win without Durant ... and after the game, head coach Monty Williams said he didn't have a timetable for his injured star when he was asked about the injury.
"Right now it's just an ankle sprain, nothing official to report...We just have to wait and see how he responds to treatment, probably get some more imaging just to make sure everyone's on the same page."

"We'll probably get some more imaging just to make sure everybody's on the same page," Williams said.
Durant has hardly played for the Suns since the blockbuster trade -- he had been nursing a knee injury when he was dealt to Arizona, and has only logged time in three games with his new team since the swap with the Nets.
Playoffs begin in less than a month ... get better soon, KD.
