It looks like Kim Kardashian got the last laugh in the bidding war over the Bible her late father Robert Kardashian gave O.J. Simpson back in the day ... 'cause it's back in the family!

The Skims founder revealed on this week's "The Kardashians" episode she anonymously bid $80,000 for the Bible her dad gifted to O.J. following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The Bible was special because it was her dad's personal scripture and had his name etched in gold lettering on the front, plus a handwritten note from him.

We told you all about her first attempt at buying the Bible -- she offered $15,000 to the late O.J.'s estate ... but it rejected the offer. She then spoke about the situation on her family's hit Hulu series and said she would have negotiated further -- which the estate did not appreciate.

Yo, Adrian ... check out Anthony Ippolito's form while he runs like Sylvester Stallone in a new movie all about the making of "Rocky."

The actor hit Sly's old stompin' grounds out in Philadelphia to shoot a pivotal scene for the biopic "I Play Rocky" Wednesday ... with cameras capturing him running up the stairs now known as the "Rocky Steps" -- named after the iconic character who ran up them in the OG movie -- which lead up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Check it out ... Ippolito's outfitted in an all-gray track suit and black beanie, just like Stallone wore in the first movie. He successfully makes it up the steps and bounces around in triumph -- before collapsing at the end of the shot.

Philadelphia Eagles great LeSean McCoy believes the defending champs are still the team to beat in the NFL ... and he explained why on the TMZ Sports Live Stream!!

Shady joined Babcock, Luca, and Lucas on the show this week to weigh in on the state of the Eagles ... and fresh off a win over the Detroit Lions in Week 11, he said they're not only the best in the NFC, but the whole NFL.

Losses to the Giants and Broncos don't have him in panic mode, either -- McCoy said bad outings are bound to happen from time to time ... but it doesn't mean anything necessarily needs fixing, and last season ending in "green confetti" is proof.

"Real Housewives of Orange County" alum Meghan King has temporarily lost custody of her three children to her ex-husband, retired MLB player Jim Edmonds ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources tell us the change came after a school employee allegedly filed a report with Child Protective Services about King. Following an investigation, CPS granted her supervised visitation with her children.

We're told the arrangement isn't necessarily permanent and a court hearing in December will determine whether this custody setup sticks for good.

Cardi B just posted the first public pictures of her newborn baby.

The photos, captioned with the date Nov. 4, have also raised speculation she could be engaged because of the huge rock on her finger. TMZ has learned, however, it is NOT an engagement ring.

As you know ... the newborn baby boy marks her first baby NFL star Stefon Diggs.

New York Giants rookie Cam Skattebo doesn't have to worry about facing any punishment after getting physical during his recent WWE appearance ... 'cause his head coach said he was well aware of his attendance -- it was a team-organized event!

Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka spoke with the media on Wednesday, where he was asked about Skattebo's now-viral cameo on the show.

"I thought it was a cool thing," Kafka said. "I know it was a staged little brawl there. It was great to see in the pregame, on the sideline. His juice, his energy, you can feel it. I could feel it through the TV and through my phone, I was watching the clips."

Ryan Wedding is facing new charges in the U.S. after the Canadian Olympic snowboarder turned transnational drug kingpin allegedly ordered the killing of a federal witness in Colombia, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Wedding, 44, competed for America's neighbors up north in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, before allegedly turning to a different type of "snow," becoming Canada's largest cocaine dealer (moving over 130k lbs. a year) and controlling "one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in the world," according to the AG.

In a news conference in D.C. on Wednesday, Bondi, flanked by Kash Patel, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other top officials, outlined new charges against the retired athlete, and the accusations are wild.

Some encouraging news from Kris Boyd ... the New York Jets cornerback says he's on the road to recovery after he was shot on Sunday -- and he's now starting to breathe on his own.

The 29-year-old shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed on his Instagram Story on Wednesday, days after he suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen during a fight in Manhattan.

"God is real, God is powerful!" Boyd wrote.

Lonzo Ball and Michael Porter Jr. believe they would have been forces to be reckoned with in the WNBA as teenagers ... with both NBA stars claiming they'd dominate against pro women's players before they were old enough to drive cars.

MPJ stopped by Lonzo's "Ball in the Family" podcast recently ... and at one point in their chat, the current Brooklyn Nets player brought up how A'ja Wilson said she could beat Knicks guard Josh Hart one-on-one.

The convo then transitioned into how Patrick Beverly said a WNBA team could beat an NBA team's bench players ... which Lonzo wasn't buying.

Khloé Kardashian is spilling more tea about her messy marriage to Lamar Odom ... saying that in one of her most vulnerable moments, he actually burned her personal journals.

The reality star explained on the "Khloé in Wonderland" podcast that Lamar burned dozens of her journals -- years' worth -- right in front of her, all because he got super paranoid and thought she was writing things down and sending them to the government.

It’s honestly heartbreaking -- Khloé said she was on her knees, sobbing, while he tossed them into the fire ... years of her life just gone, "taken away in a f***ing blink."

Shedeur Sanders isn't sweating his recent home burglary ... telling reporters he's not fazed one bit by the invasion of privacy -- especially because his jewelry is safe!!

The Cleveland Browns quarterback addressed the media on Wednesday ... fresh off the announcement he'd be getting his first official NFL start against the Las Vegas Raiders due to Dillon Gabriel's injury.

The rookie -- who had a less-than-stellar outing in the second half of the Browns' loss to the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday -- said he was in a good place mentally ... as he's "prepared for anything."

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Antonio Brown were streaming with Adin Ross on Tuesday when a car full of fans rolled up, making for a tense moment, before the controversial rapper used Charlie Kirk's assassination to calm everyone's nerves.

The men were hanging out outside Tekashi's Florida home, streaming, when an SUV pulled up in the dark of night and called out for 6ix9ine.

"What's up, bro?" the rapper responded ... as AB and BenDaDonnn looked on nervously.

San Diego Padres legend Randy "Junkman" Jones -- the first pitcher from the organization to win the Cy Young Award -- passed away on Tuesday. He was 75.

The Padres announced Jones' death on Wednesday, mourning the left-handed pitcher who was the "cornerstone of our franchise for over five decades."

"Randy was committed to San Diego, the Padres, and his family," the team said. "He was a giant in our lives and our franchise history."

N3on took a lie detector test on his YouTube channel that didn't go as well as he'd hoped ... the popular streamer failed when he was asked if he liked Black people.

Flanked by rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, fellow streamer Adin Ross, former NFL star Antonio Brown and comedian/rapper BenDaDonnn, N3on fielded questions from his buds in front of a stoic polygraph tester in the video posted Tuesday.

Like every lie detector test, it started out simple ... "Are you an Indian?" Adin asked. "Yes," N3on answered, as he is ethnically so. Easy enough ... right?

Bill Belichick's first year at UNC has been nothing to cheer about ... but at least Jordon Hudson's got him covered in that dept. -- The Tar Heels' head coach was a supportive boyfriend at her competition over the weekend.

Photos of the 73-year-old at the Cheer Extreme All-Stars event in Raleigh have been making rounds on social media ... observing all the action as Hudson suited up for Code Black -- a team based in the Tar Heel state.

Belichick -- who was rocking a grey sweatshirt -- was snapped on the sidelines as Hudson did her thing. If you're curious, the whole routine is provided below.
