Tiger Woods is trying like hell to keep his prescription records out of his DUI case -- the golf legend's attorney claims his privacy is at risk if a subpoena for his pill history is granted.

Prosecutors are looking to track down a bunch of info on Woods' meds -- how many times his prescriptions have been filled this year, the amount of pills he's gotten, his dosage and the instructions that come with them, including warnings about driving after consumption -- after he was charged with DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test in connection to his March 27 crash.

Douglas Duncan recently filed a response to the subpoena request ... stating it would be an "intrusion into Mr. Woods' privacy" if the records are included in the criminal investigation.

"I was expecting Herb to pick my hand up."

Curtis Blaydes wholeheartedly believes he beat Josh Hokit during their insane UFC 327 fight ... a bloody, action-packed scrap that's been described as the greatest heavyweight bout ever.

"When they gave us the judgment, I was in a little bit of shock. I was like, 'Dang, I thought I did enough,'" Curtis told Babcock.

Officially, the 35-year-old heavyweight lost by unanimous decision, with all three judges' scorecards reading the same ... 29-28 (2 rounds to 1 for Hokit).

WWE Superstar Rusev is ready to step out of the squared circle and into the boxing ring -- he’s got his sights set on Jake Paul ... even with WrestleMania right around the corner!!!

We caught up with the Bulgarian Brute ahead of his Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match this weekend in Las Vegas ... and during a conversation about which celebrities he would want to “crush,” Rusev initially brought up Jelly Roll -- before quickly turning his attention to Jake.

“I would definitely love to put my hands on that guy,” Rusev said.

And it’s not just talk. Rusev claims his own boxing coach has been pushing him toward it ... telling him he has the tools to make real noise in the sport, especially his power.

According to Rusev, his trainer believes he has a “mean right hook” that could seriously do damage in the ring.

Rusev also took a jab at Paul’s past injuries, referencing his jaw and joking that he’s “half Terminator,” suggesting he’s not exactly worried about what Jake brings to the table.

Jake Paul has made a name for himself by taking on fighters from all over the combat sports world ... most recently getting rocked by Anthony Joshua, resulting in a busted jaw.

And Rusev sounds more than confident he would handle business ... just like AJ did last year.

Despite the talk, Rusev is currently locked in on WrestleMania ... where he will compete in a chaotic ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.

He's not overlooking it ... but it's clear he's put some thought into what comes next.

Alix Earle has a heavyweight in her corner amid her feud with Alex Cooper ... 'cause Carl’s Jr. is standing firmly behind its Super Bowl star, TMZ has learned.

A Carl's Jr. spokesperson tells TMZ ... "While there seems to be plenty of beef circulating online lately, we promise ours is the juiciest. Alix’s authentic style was the perfect fit for our campaign. She is the best in the business at post-game recovery, so it was a natural fit."

The star burger company adds to the quippy statement ... "The campaign, which was focused on giving away our Hangover Burger as the post-big game recovery cure, delivered record-breaking results."

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are fully in their cozy couple era ... so comfortable, they’re out here doing the most domestic thing possible -- rug shopping.

Check the pics ... the duo kept it low-key in L.A. Tuesday, dressed down while browsing luxury rugs ... just days after popping up together at Coachella.

Kim, of course, had her signature curves on full display in gray leggings and a cropped hoodie ... while Lewis matched the vibe, keeping it effortlessly cool -- and TBH, they look very good together.

These two have been locked in since making things official at Super Bowl LX ... and they’ve barely left each other’s side since, bouncing between Arizona, the UK, Colorado, and now back to Cali.

Alex Cooper has her claws out and is coming out to play ... exposing DMs with Brianna Chickenfry, who's been openly defending Alix Earle -- amid the ongoing Alex-Alix online feud.

The "Call Her Daddy" host took to Instagram, coming in hot, starting her rant with "This girl on girl s*** needs to stop" ... adding, "While Alix tries to get her story together, let me address Brianna Chickenfry" -- a current Barstool employee who has inserted herself into the battle of the blondes.

Cooper claims Brianna is adding onto the "fake narrative and dog pile" by coming online and calling her a mean girl ... but Cooper has the receipts and DMs that, according to her, prove otherwise.

Guy Fieri issued a full-throated mea culpa after he was seen shaking Andrew Tate's hand at UFC 327 last weekend ... and now he's getting roasted over a spit by the Tate brothers' lawyer.

Here's the donkey sauce ... the Food Network star was blasted by fans after dapping it up with the brothers at the big event. Seeing his fans were clearly bent out of shape, Guy issued a statement claiming he doesn't know the duo ... and doesn't support them.

Joe McBride, the brothers' lawyer, is calling BS, telling TMZ ... Guy "knew exactly" who the brothers are and was all too happy to catch up with them -- until the Woke Mob came after him.

More trouble for Mark Hunt -- one of the most beloved UFC fighters ever -- the heavy-hitting heavyweight was arrested after he was accused of threatening to kill a female acquaintance.

"I'm just going to murder you in the end anyway," the 52-year-old MMA legend allegedly texted the woman after a dispute this week in South Wales, Australia, which prompted cops to rush to the scene and take Hunt into custody Tuesday night.

He is facing one count of stalking or intimidation with intent to cause physical harm.

Hunt was initially refused bail before his first court appearance on Wednesday, but was ultimately allowed to bond out after agreeing to abide by a series of strict conditions.

The Super Samoan was a fan favorite during his run with the UFC, beloved for his devastating power, and his signature walk-offs.

In the Octagon, Mark mixed it up with some of the best heavyweights ever, including Stipe Miocic, Brock Lesnar, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, Curtis Blaydes, and Derrick Lewis, among others.

Hunt last fought in December 2018 in a losing effort.

Mark has faced significant challenges since walking away from fighting, including health, financial, and legal troubles that have severely impacted his life.

While Hunt has not addressed the claim, his legal team disputed the charge in court.

Volleyball player Jordan Lucas took the internet by storm by serving skills and sass in his highlight reel ... and while not everyone in the sport is thrilled with his celebrations, he tells TMZ Sports it's all part of being in the heat of battle.

We caught up with the star Cal State Northridge athlete amid his viral fame ... and Lucas said the support he's gotten has been nothing short of amazing -- even Billy Porter hit him with a follow on social media!!

He added it's awesome to help put the spotlight on the school's program and the sport as a whole ... and the experience has been "surreal" and "overwhelming," but the love is much appreciated.

Khloé Kardashian is setting the record straight on Lamar Odom’s new Netflix documentary ... and she says her bank account never saw a dime.

The reality star got candid on her “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, addressing the buzz around “Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom” and her involvement in it ... making it clear she didn’t profit at all from revisiting one of the most painful chapters of her life.

“I'm not paid a cent,” Khloé said. “I have no involvement in this documentary besides sitting down and giving an interview.“

Dwight Howard's apparently not worried about his wife Amber Howard anymore ... because he's dropped the restraining order against her as they work to permanently separate.

We spoke with Howard's attorney -- Gillian B. Fierer -- who explained to us the former NBA star dropped the protective order as the first step in the process to an amicable resolution of their split.

Fierer says this is quite common in divorce proceedings where someone has filed for a protective order ... because it pushes for an order of divorce to be filed -- which helps the split along.

It's only mid-April, but it could've been October for Alex Vesia ... the Dodgers reliever was emotional on the mound after closing out the game in front of dozens of doctors and nurses who treated his late daughter, Sterling Sol, last year.

Tuesday night was the Dodgers' annual Healthcare Appreciation Night, and the 30-year-old pitcher invited almost 30 hospital workers who helped the family navigate the most difficult period of their lives in late 2025.

So, when Vesia entered the 2-1 game vs. the Mets in the 9th inning -- with closer Edwin Diaz unavailable -- Alex didn't squander the opportunity, striking out the side, getting the save, and sealing the win for Los Angeles.

LaMelo Ball is facing a ton of criticism for tripping and injuring Bam Adebayo in a Play-In Tournament matchup on Tuesday ... but the Charlotte Hornets star claims the incident was the result of getting hit in the head.

The play went down early in the second quarter of the elimination game ... when Heat forward Simone Fontecchio blocked Ball's shot, and Adebayo tried to save it from going out of bounds.

Ball found himself lying out on the hardwood during the sequence ... and he reached out and grabbed Adebayo's leg, forcing him to join him on the ground.

Quavo isn't letting Cardi B's drama with his former Migos member Offset get in the way of their friendship ... Quavo was spotted vibing out at the "Bodak Yellow" rapper's sold-out show in Florida.

In a video posted on Instagram Tuesday, Quavo raps along to Migos' 2017 hit "T-Shirt" from the audience. Then later, Cardi takes the stage, rocking the crowd with her 2018 banger "Thotiana."

This comes amid Cardi's bitter divorce battle with ex Offset. A court order from February showed that Offset requested a DNA test on Cardi's newborn baby with Stefon Diggs. The request was denied for Stefon's kid, but granted for another one of Cardi's children.

Dayton Webber -- the quadruple amputee and professional cornhole player suspected of fatally shooting another man in his car -- continues to be in the hot seat as more disturbing content of him surfaces.

TMZ has obtained a handful of old photos and videos displaying questionable behavior spanning from last month all the way back to 2019 ... and you need to see it to believe it.

One image appearing to show Webber with what looks like a red swastika etched or carved into his stomach is relatively recent ... with metadata dating it to March 16, 2026.

Age ain't nothing but a number as 41-year-old LeBron James enters the playoffs ... so says his former teammate, Channing Frye, who tells TMZ Sports the only thing on the King's mind right now is winning ... not Father Time.

All eyes will be on the four-time champion as L.A. prepares for its date with the Houston Rockets in the first round of the 2026 postseason ... even more so now that Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves are out with injuries.

Frye -- who won a title with James on the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers -- explained the superstar's mindset ahead of a showdown with Kevin Durant and Co. ... and he said it really is as simple as scraping together some victories.

Of course, James has had enough success for 10 NBA careers ... but it doesn't mean he's cool with mailing it in at all just 'cause his team's short-handed.
