Barack Obama's not just on vacation -- he's on the most EPIC vacay, and it's starting to feel like he's rubbing it in your face.

Prez 44 was celebrating and grinning Friday all over Scotland's St Andrews Golf Club ... birthplace of the sport he's apparently trying to turn pro in now. Based on his face, we'd say Barack was killing it on the Old Course.

He's made a point of hitting the links almost everywhere he's been since leaving office -- starting in Palm Springs and most recently in Italy. Gotta say ... no one in history's done retirement better.

Just to run down his passport stamps since January: Virgin Islands, French Polynesia, Italy, Germany, Scotland. PLUS the reported $60 mil he and Michelle are getting for their memoirs.

If you're about to eat breakfast ... DON'T!!!!

This video is gonna make you hurl your cronut (are people still eating those?).

Shaquille O'Neal decided to peel off his shoe and reveal his hideous MONSTER FOOT on "Inside the NBA" on Thursday ... and it was gross.

Everyone on the panel was disgusted. Ernie Johnson said Shaq's foot looked like "a potato and four toes."

Gotta admit ... the foot actually looks better than the last time we saw it.

But the bar ain't high.

After years of denial, LeBron James is FINALLY coming to terms with hair loss.

LBJ was praising his idol, Michael Jordan, after passing MJ on the all-time NBA playoff scoring list on Thursday -- when he brought up the topic that his headband couldn't hide.

Bron had been trying to cover up the receding hairline for years -- and everyone from Kenny Smith to the programmers at NBA 2K14 called him out for it. Glad he's finally facing the cold, bald truth.

By the way, the best part of this video -- Tristan Thompson's reaction.

The WWE is pulling the plug on a big event scheduled to go down in Manchester next month "out of respect for all those affected by the Manchester tragedy."

NBA superstar and fashion icon Russell Westbrook says there's one fashion risk he REFUSES to take -- the male romper.

The OKC Thunder star is known for pushing the envelope when it comes to style -- he's rocked everything from overalls to heavy metal chic ... even did an Urkel theme.

But when we saw Brodie leaving Il Pastaio in Bev Hills on Thursday, Russ made it clear you'll NEVER see him rockin' the rompHim ... the new fashion craze UFC champ Stipe Miocic can't stop talking about.

In other news, Westbrook is pumped about being a new dad -- and can't wait for his first Father's Day!

Money, fame and girls will come ... but Odell Beckham Jr. has to make football and his teammates the top priority in his life ... Michael Irvin tells TMZ Sports.

We talked to Irvin -- who back in the day was one of the league's best young players -- about the embattled N.Y. Giants star.

We broke the story ... Beckham Jr. missed Giants' OTA (a voluntary practice) on Monday 'cause he was in L.A. ... running drills with Johnny Manziel. He also skipped Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's practice.

It didn't stop there ... Odell bowled with Iggy Azalea (and a group of friends) Monday night in L.A. ... igniting a firestorm of speculation about a possible relationship.

Azalea, and sources close to Beckham both told us they are NOT dating ... but still, Irvin's been there, and his advice to OBJ makes a lot of sense.

Frankie Edgar says it would be ridiculous if Cris Cyborg gets sued for punching Angela Magana in the face ... telling TMZ Sports Magana should've seen it comin' when she ran her mouth.

We spoke with Edgar about Magana's plans to pursue legal action ... and The Answer clearly disagrees with the idea, saying "it's kinda crazy to me."

"I don't know how a fighter can press charges for getting hit," Edgar tells us. "Especially if you run your mouth."

"I'd never sue someone over a fight."

Iggy Azalea is straight-up calling BS on the rumors she's dating Odell Beckham Jr. ... telling TMZ Sports she doesn't even know the New York Giants superstar.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor is a circus that could literally ruin the sport of boxing ... so says one of the sports biggest stars, Oscar De La Hoya.

De La Hoya wrote a scathing open letter to boxing fans ... imploring them to send Floyd and Conor a message by NOT spending money on the super fight.

"Only we can shut the circus down by making it clear that we won’t pay to see a joke of a fight and telling our casual-fan friends that they shouldn’t either."

De La Hoya goes on to say, "It’s a win-win for them. It’s a lose-lose for us. We’ll be $100 lighter and we will have squandered another opportunity to bring boxing back to its rightful place as the sport of kings."

Oscar admits McGregor is a great MMA fighter, but just ain't a boxer ... and that could be devastating to boxing.

Conor McGregor's bustin' his ass training ... while Floyd Mayweather, well ... he's walkin' in a fashion show with Paris Hilton in France ... and we have the video.

Mayweather strutted down the runway in a white leather jacket at the Philipp Plein fashion show Wednesday in Cannes with Hilton, Sofia Richie, and "hot felon" Jeremy Meeks ... while Eva Longoria watched.

As we previously reported ... McGregor has totally ditched MMA training ... and is solely focused on boxing, in anticipation of the Mayweather-McGregor superfight.

Money clearly ain't worried.

Watch out, Kendall Jenner ... Floyd's comin' for your job.

Aaron Rodgers must really love the guys protecting his ass every Sunday ... 'cause the Packers superstar just bought all his offensive linemen sick custom 4-wheelers!!

The personalized Polaris Generals (which start at $16k) were delivered to the team's practice facility Tuesday ... but they were originally supposed to be Christmas presents, according to Ryan Rodig of WFRV in Green Bay.

Each vehicle is decked out in Packers colors and features each players' initials and jersey numbers.

It's a dope gesture ... and Dallas Cowboys running back, Zeke Elliott, did the same thing for his guys back in December.

Colin Kaepernick's most passionate supporters gathered at the NFL Headquarters in NYC Wednesday ... expressing their solidarity with the free agent QB.

Kevin Livingston of "100 Suits For 100 Men" -- the group Kaep donated 50 custom suits to earlier this month -- organized the event featuring speakers expressing their support for Kaepernick and desire for equal treatment towards minorities.

Former NBA player Etan Thomas, Emerald Snipes (daughter of Eric Garner), William Bell (father of Sean Bell) and NY state senator James Sanders Jr. each shared powerful messages during the hour-long meet.

"We are going to continue to keep pressure to make sure Colin Kaepernick's not only finished getting blackballed, but he's signed to an NFL team," Livingston told a crowd of over 70 people.

Kaep worked out for the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday.

Magic Johnson says LaVar Ball reminds him of Kris Jenner ... and that ain't a bad thing.

Johnson was asked about LaVar Ball when he joined 'Afternoons with Marcellus and Kelvin' on ESPN radio ... and not only did he compare L.B. to Kim Kardashian's mama, Magic said he's got no problem with Papa Ball.

"The Kardashians, we didn't say the mom was bad. She made them a lot of money, right? She bragged on her daughters. And I think it's the same here. He's saying, 'hey, my son is great.'"

"There's nothing bad with that. We're not looking at LaVar being a problem if we're blessed to have an opportunity to draft Lonzo."

And Magic isn't the only Lakers decision maker to endorse LaVar. Lake Show head coach, Luke Walton, told TMZ Sports earlier this week LaVar's big personality doesn't scare him ... 'cause his own dad was a character.

Here's a picture proving it's not always boats & hoes when a huge rapper and a huge NBA star hang in the off-season ... Jay Z & Chris Paul at SoulCycle like two cardio loving dads.

Hov & CP3 hit the class Wednesday, which was taught by celebrity fancy schmancy SoulCycle instructor Angela Davis, a former member of the U.S. Track and Field team.

SC is pretty competitive (we mean SoulCycle, not Shawn Carter, but he is too) but no word yet on who did better in the class.

But it was Chris Paul.

Odell Beckham Jr. ain't dating Iggy Azalea, despite reports the 2 had a romantic date night this week ... sources close to Odell tell TMZ Sports.

Multiple outlets reported the stars hit up Bowlero bowling alley in Woodland Hills, CA on Monday night ... and were "cozying up" with each other, "being romantic."

But we talked to sources close to Odell who vehemently denied they were in a relationship ... or dating at all ... saying "people will create anything."

As for Odell, he did make 1 hookup when he was out in L.A. ... running routes and catching passes with Johnny Manziel.

UFC Middleweight champ Michael Bisping is outraged at the British government for putting "political correctness" in front of the war against terror.

We got the Manchester native in L.A. Wednesday where he poured his heart out over the attack, saying he cried when he heard children were targeted.

Then Michael flew into a controlled rage, claiming the British government knows where the terrorists are hiding but they aren't raiding their homes because it would appear politically insensitive.
