Kayla Nicole is apologizing for "hurtful tweets" she posted on social media back in the day ... and she says she's "ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way."

In an apology posted Thursday on her Instagram Story, Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend says her posts were "ignorant, hurtful and completely wrong."

Kayla says it's been "incredibly difficult" seeing her old posts resurface ... in part because she says "the woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views."

Houston hottie Jilly Anais may be ready for the frigid temps, but she's burning through the social algorithms in her most recent form-fitting snow look ...

The 29-year-old took to Instagram to share her latest round-up -- a sexy snow 'shoot where she sported a Kith bodysuit topped off with a Chanel scarf and earmuffs.

Posing pretty in front of a winter wonderland, she showed off her fit physique and made her way through the snow with a pair of black knee-high boots.

A high-end trading card shop owned by Tom Brady was robbed in New York City of nearly $10,000 worth of baseball and Pokémon cards, according to police.

Antonio Brown is once again a free man -- at least for the time being -- the former NFL star posted bond and was released from county jail in Miami ... and TMZ Sports has video of AB leaving, flanked by his attorney.

Klay Thompson just unloaded on a pair of ex-NBA stars for their graphic chat about Megan Thee Stallion ... calling Patrick Beverley and Jason Williams "so disgusting and disturbing" for disrespecting his girlfriend.

As we previously reported, White Chocolate made shocking comments on the "Hoopin’ N Hollerin'" podcast on Wednesday ... hinting the Dallas Mavericks hooper's relationship with the rapper might be to blame for his slump this season.

"It only takes one p**** to drag a battleship across the desert. That's how powerful it is," WC told Pat Bev. "Klay Thompson, I ain't sayin' that's what it is ... but that might be what it is."

Clippers and Nuggets players weren't the only ones showing off their moves on Wednesday -- a fan put his own on display after rushing the court during the game ... but as always, he ultimately had a date with security.

TMZ Sports obtained footage of the incident that went down during the matchup at the Inuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

We're told the guy came outta nowhere as he ran onto the hardwood ... and he somehow ended up right beside Nuggets guard Bruce Brown.

Paul Skenes isn't always stone-faced when he gets awards -- he cracked a smile after winning the 2025 NL Cy Young!!

MLB announced Wednesday night the Pittsburgh Pirates flamethrower earned the top pitching honors this season ... and the cameras caught his reaction as he sat with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, and friends and family.

There really wasn't much suspense about whether Skenes would take home the hardware ... but folks were curious to find out whether the 23-year-old would show any sort of emotion, or keep a blank look like last year.

Luka Doncic did his best to sidestep any questions about the Nico Harrison firing on Wednesday ... saying while he'll always have love for the Mavericks fans and players, he's ready to move on and focus on the Lakers.

The Slovenian superstar met with the media after the Purple and Gold's blowout road loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder ... and naturally, he was asked how he felt about the general manager who shipped him to Los Angeles getting canned just nine months later -- and if it provided "closure."

Doncic elected to focus on everyone else in Dallas instead.

As if Swifties weren't swooning enough ... Travis Kelce is featured in Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour docuseries -- and has a major stamp of approval from her mom!

The retired boxer continued ... "Syd not only worked her ass off for this film, she worked her ass off for me. For my story. For so many others suffering in silence. So I want to be clear about who Syd is. She is my friend and ally!"

Mavericks fans couldn't wait for Nico Harrison to get kicked to the curb after he traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers ... but NBA champ Kendrick Perkins still believes both sides won the infamous deal -- telling TMZ Sports we'll find out if/when Dallas gets healthy!!

Harrison was handed his pink slip on Tuesday ... an inevitable move nine months after the franchise player was shipped to L.A. in exchange for Anthony Davis.

At the time, Perk said he loved the transaction for both sides ... but Mavs backers weren't buying it -- and wanted Harrison gone ASAP.

Will Ferrell is taking a brief breather from his new Netflix golf comedy ... 'cause a minor injury has put him on the sidelines ... TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actor recently suffered an injury off set, and while it wasn't serious, it was enough to keep him from filming scenes scheduled this week at the Bicycle Casino just outside Los Angeles.

It's unclear exactly how or where Will got hurt, but we're told the issue made it impossible for him to shoot the planned material safely or comfortably this week. Producers have temporarily rearranged the schedule while he recovers.

Jason Williams thinks he knows why Klay Thompson is strugglin' on the basketball court this season -- MEG THEE STALLION!

That's what the former NBA star said on the "Hoopin’ N Hollerin'" podcast on Wednesday, just a week after the Dallas Mavericks announced they were benching the four-time NBA champion, who is averaging just 7.4 points per game, while shooting 26.7% from the three.

The podcast crew, including Patrick Beverly, mentioned Thompson's new relationship with Meg, one of the hottest stars in all of music ... when Williams, a 12-year NBA vet, chimed in.

Schottenheimer said they had the opportunity to "celebrate" Kneeland's life Tuesday night ... and they were able to "tell some stories, share, laugh [and] cry."

Note to fans ... take cover when Sophie Cunningham is at the tee, 'cause the WNBA star clocked a fan at a Pro-Am on Wednesday (the same tourney Kai Trump's playing in!) -- and her teammate, Caitlin Clark, found it hilarious!

The moment was captured on live TV as the Indiana Fever teammates played in The Annika, LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam's tournament, at The Pelican Club in Belleair, Florida.

At the 10th tee box, Cunningham -- who was serving as Clark's caddie -- got a chance to take a swing ... yelling "Happy Gilmore!' as she ripped an errant shot.

Just like in the movies, spectators in the gallery weren't safe ... and when the ball finally came to rest, one fan was on the ground.
