Ronda Rousey Arrives to Marine Corps Ball ... Let's Kick It!

Published | Updated

Ronda Rousey's the belle of the Marine Corps Ball -- arriving to the big bash in South Carolina moments ago ... to keep her promise to Lance Corporal Jarrod Haschert.

Ronda flew out early Friday morning -- and to be honest, still seemed pretty down in the dumps nearly one month after losing to Holly Holm.

But she was all smiles at the ball -- posing for pics with the marines and their dates -- and hopefully, enjoying herself.

Ronda's gonna need to get her mojo back if she's gonna have a chance to beat Holm in the rematch -- and who better to help reclaim her swagger than a buncha devil dogs, right?!?

Bocelli only did the one song, but if ever there was a case for dropping the mic ... this is it.

People at The Tavern in Little Rock tell us, Chris started off with beer and moved to the hard stuff. We're told he was slamming shots of Fireball Whiskey and doing Vegas Bombs to the point he couldn't stand up.

As we reported, Carney and Ezekiel died early Friday after their SUV drifted off the road and struck a tree. We're told neither were wearing seat belts.

Chris struggled with alcohol over the years but his mom tells us she believed he had been sober for a year.

As for Chris and Tiffany, after a rocky road, we're told they were living together in relative peace and raising their kids.

RIDE OR DIE ...
SplashNewsOnline.com

Scott Eastwood held on for way longer than 8 seconds while riding a mechanical bull at a San Diego bar ... so long it's actually pretty impressive.

Clint's son has had some practice ... he played a pro bull rider in the chick flick, "The Longest Ride." And, of course, his dad played a cowboy in a ton of his flicks, so it's no surprise really Scott's a natural.

If the movie thing doesn't work out ... bull ridin' might be another calling.

TMZ has learned Ryder Cherry and Monica Monroe returned to Love Ranch South earlier this week. As we reported, they'd been banished by owner Dennis Hof who suspected they were less than truthful about what went down with Lamar.

But Hof says he recently conducted a "thorough investigation" and now buys what the girls are selling regarding their party with Odom. He also says AMEX had a change of heart recently, and released its hold on the $75k charge Lamar made for ... services rendered.

As for biz, it's good. We're told there are already more than 20 clients asking to "party" with Lamar's chicks. Ryder capitalized on her notoriety by tweeting Lamar on Tuesday. Sell, sell, sell ...

Cara Delevingne Best Wedding Plus One Ever ... Just Ask Her 'Girlfriend'

Published | Updated

Cara Delevingne and her musician bae St. Vincent, took their relationship to the next level -- doing the wedding date thing, and it looks like the best decision the indie pop rocker ever made.

Cara & St. Vincent (real name Annie Clark) have been dating for more than a year, but finally went public when Cara recently referred to her as her gf in an interview. Perfect timing too, since the couple jetted off to West Texas last weekend for a wedding.

Based on pics from the event ... Cara was the life of the party, as usual. St. Vincent's friend/makeup artist was the one getting married, so Cara was the "plus one."

She wears it well.

THE HITS JUST KEEP COMIN'

Rick Ross seems to be taking sides in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Adrien Broner beef -- partying with Broner in Miami this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

It's interesting ... considering Ross had MAJOR beef with Floyd in the past -- but they seemed to bury the hatchet a few years ago.

Now, with Broner and Mayweather seemingly at war ... Ross seemed to make a pretty statement by allowing Broner into his VIP section at LIV nightclub on Sunday, where he kicked it with DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne.

FYI -- the beef between Ross and Floyd was SUPER HEATED back in the day, with Ross dropping a major diss track ... saying things like "f**k Floyd Mayweather" and calling him another word for a cat.

Ross sent Floyd $10,000 worth of champagne before the Pacquiao fight -- leading many to think the feud was over -- but now that he's hanging with Broner ... should we expect a new diss track??

**WARNING -- DISS TRACK CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE**

Cuba Gooding Jr. got his Rod Tidwell on in a crowded bar ... stealing the spotlight as he put on a dance clinic.

Cuba hit up the very British pub Ye Olde King's Head in Santa Monica, and got loose to Kanye West's "Gold Digger." You gotta see him dance battle a chick -- who gives him a run for his money -- all while wearing his shades in the dark club.

Looks like a totally fun night though. Nobody puts Cuba Gooding Jr. in the corner! Nobody.

Chris Duhon DUI Arrest Passed Out In Driver's Seat ... Engine Running

Published | Updated

Ex-Duke basketball star Chris Duhon was arrested for extreme DUI on Monday morning after cops found him passed out in his car with the engine running ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cops responded to a call of a "man down" around 4 AM in Eleanor, West Virginia. Officials say officers found 33-year-old Duhon, who is currently an assistant basketball coach at Marshall, fast asleep in his Ford Escape with the keys still in the ignition.

When they woke him up, cops say they noticed Duhon's eyes were red and his speech was slurred. He was taken to the Putnam County Court House after failing three field sobriety tests.

This is where it gets crazy ... cops say Duhon took a breathalyzer test while getting booked and blew a .202 ... more than TWO AND HALF times the legal limit.

Duhon was released on $1,000 bond and has been suspended by the Marshall athletic department for "violating the department's rules and policies."

Duhon was a stud at Duke from 2000 to 2004 -- winning a national title in 2001 -- and later spent 9 seasons in the NBA.
