George Kittle has touched down for one of the biggest weekends of his NFL buddy's life ... the San Francisco 49ers star was spotted in NYC ahead of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding festivities ... and he's representing for all the NFL tight ends.

The NFL star and his wife, Claire, were photographed strolling through Manhattan on Thursday ... and as you can see, Kittle kept it casual in a camo hat, shorts, and a Greg Olsen T-shirt -- a nod to his fellow "Tight End University" co-founder.

The sighting comes after TMZ obtained a photo of the Kittles at Nashville International Airport carrying what appeared to be his blue suit in bag.

Kittle's made it clear he's wearing a blue suit to the wedding ... but it's scorching hot in the Big Apple, so he's enjoying some comfier clothing for as long as he can.

David Hearn is blasting the grand jury indictment that led to a felony charge against him after his Reflecting Pool arrest ... he says he's innocent and "these charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American."

The former Olympian's legal team tells TMZ ... "This indictment reflects the Administration’s effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover."

As we reported ... Hearn was indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge of destruction of federal property worth $1,000 or more.

The case is being prosecuted by Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia ... she's adamant Hearn defiled the monument when he allegedly ripped a piece of liner out of the Pool.

Hearn was arrested for the alleged vandalization a couple weeks ago. The 67-year-old was held at the Park Police facility for about five hours before he was released that same day.

Since then, the Olympian has held his stance he did not destroy, break, or peel off any portion of the Reflecting Pool.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding prep just got a little sweeter ... an ice cream truck has rolled up outside Madison Square Garden.

With NYC roasting under nearly triple-digit temperatures, the timing couldn't be much better. We can't say exactly who the frozen treats are for ... but we got video of it rolling up to MSG.

It's just the latest clue outside MSG as the countdown to the couple's massive celebration dips below 24 hours, and the activity outside the MSG hasn't slowed down one bit.

We've spent the week watching the clues pile up. Lighting rigs, staging equipment and mystery cargo kicked things off ... followed by towering drapes, gazebos, artificial trees, food deliveries and all kinds of supplies rolling through the Garden's doors.

David Hearn, the former Olympic canoeist who was arrested for reaching into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool a couple weeks ago, has been indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Hearn was charged with a felony -- destruction of federal property worth $1,000 or more.

The case is being prosecuted by Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia ... she is adamant Hearn defiled the monument when he allegedly ripped a piece of liner out of the Pool.

A bench warrant was also issued ... with no bond.

Jaylen Brown is speaking out on getting shipped to the Philadelphia 76ers ... and he seemingly took a shot at the Boston Celtics in the process.

The 2024 NBA Finals MVP released a statement on Thursday ... admitting he's still trying to wrap his head around what just happened.

Brown was traded on Wednesday in exchange for Paul George and draft picks ... a transaction that's being viewed as pretty one-sided and a steal for the Sixers.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren't exempt from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's 78-degree suggestion ... though they'll have to "Shake It Off" anyway ... because MSG has an unconventional temperature system.

Here's the deal ... a city official tells TMZ the mayor's recommendation of setting the AC at 78 was a suggestion for all five boroughs of New York -- including Manhattan, where MSG sits.

In other words, MSG isn't exempt from the mayor's suggestion made on social media to all New Yorkers this morning ... though, again, it's just a suggestion -- not an edict from above.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's wedding plan may be a secret to their own guests ... but it seems the NYPD may have a timeline ... or at least some private info about the event of the century.

NBC New York captured photos of one of New York's Finest holding a booklet with "Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Wedding" and "Thursday 7/2" scrawled across the front.

There are other words written on the front -- and a photo -- which are hard to make out in the pics snapped by reporters. It's unclear what's in the booklet.

Frankie Muniz's estranged wife is coming to his rescue after haters apparently bullied him into deleting a video of them dancing together ... footage he posted after their divorce announcement.

The video in question shows Frankie and Paige Price busting some moves together in their living room to the 2007 pop-punk hit "Check Yes, Juliet" by We the Kings. Frankie wrote, "Who says you can't stay friends with your baby mama?"

Well, the lighthearted post didn't sit well with some fans, and the criticism was so cruel the "Malcolm in the Middle" star scrubbed it from his story!

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is on his way to the monumental Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding ... and it looks like he's got his blue suit in tow!!!

TMZ obtained a photo of George in the Nashville airport Wednesday night ... he's sitting with his wife Claire at a bar, and he's got a suit in a bag hanging off the back of his chair.

George and Claire revealed last week they scored a wedding invite, with George telling Entertainment Tonight the only thing he knew about his NFL buddy's top-secret wedding was that he was wearing a blue suit.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have have spent millions of dollars to snag MSG and transform it into the perfect wedding venue for their big celebration tomorrow ... but it looks like they also spent millions -- $26 million, to be precise -- on donations to charity.

Looks like the newlyweds aren't just lining the pocketbooks of wedding planners and delivery drivers ... because Taylor's reps announced Thursday she has donated $26 million to at least 20 charities this week ... TMZ can confirm.

Among the 20 charities that received money from Taylor, nine are food banks, one is an animal cruelty organization, seven are educational programs, and three are children's hospitals ... the donations are covering all bases it seems.

Taylor has made large-scale donations in the past ... like when she gave money to local food banks at locations that were part of her Eras Tour, gave money for Florida hurricane relief, Tennessee tornado relief, and Los Angeles wildfire relief -- just to name a few.

The announcement from Tay's camp only mentions the organizations that received money from the singer, and the overall amount donated ... but does not mention the wedding.

Taylor Swift's wedding events in New York City have more security than Fort Knox ... even her Big Apple apartment is being heavily guarded by NYPD ... and it's all on video.

Police are standing watch outside Taylor's place ... and in the footage, you can see there are several officers at the door and across the street.

And this isn't the only example of an upped security presence ahead of Taylor and Travis Kelce's big day ... Madison Square Garden is crawling with cops, National Guard, and military.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are throwing a fairytale wedding ... but let's be honest, guests will remember the food just as much as the vows.

Check out these pics -- another round of food deliveries rolled into Madison Square Garden Thursday morning, with supplies continuing to pour into the venue ahead of the couple's massive celebration.

From the looks of it, the latest haul included almond milk, corn kernels, butter, eggs, turkey, wheat wraps, juice, water, tomatoes and sauces ... all signs the kitchen's about to be working overtime.

Los Angeles Rams great LeRoy Irvin has passed away, his former teammate Eric Dickerson announced Thursday. He was 68 years old.

ED mourned the loss in a tribute post on Instagram ... praising Irvin for who he was both on and off the field.

"Leroy wasn’t just a lockdown corner and a fierce competitor on the field; he was a true friend and a great man who always brought incredible energy," Dickerson said.

Phil Mickelson says someone's taking another swing at his reputation ... and he's swinging right back ... after a woman claimed he sent her an unsolicited nude and propositioned her.

The golf legend is vehemently denying the latest misconduct allegations tied to his name ... blasting the d*** pic allegation as an "anonymously sourced drive-by shooting" designed to generate clicks, not uncover the truth ... according to the New York Post.

As TMZ previously reported, allegations first surfaced last week when Ashley Perez -- the ex-wife of fellow pro golfer Pat Perez -- claimed Phil showed her a photo of his erect penis and propositioned her while her husband was in the bathroom during a tournament weekend in 2015.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding ain't the only party in town -- Michael Rubin held his annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons Wednesday night ... and the turnout was star-studded.

Check out TMZ's clips -- you can see the who's who in Hollywood flooded into Rubin's ultra-luxe $50 million oceanfront estate in the ritzy area of New York. Our cameras caught Jake Paul, Teyana Taylor, Mike Tyson, DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Shaboozey and more familiar faces enjoying the evening.

Rubin's iconic shindig seemingly went down without missing a beat ... after he told People he did NOT move the date from Independence Day to July 1 due to Taylor and Travis' wedding this weekend.

Lil Wayne went MIA for his concert in Maine, and now we may know why ... he decided he wanted to party instead of perform.

The rapper was seen present at Michael Rubin's annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons Wednesday night ... alongside other A-listers like DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Jake Paul, Kevin Durant and many, many more.

It looks like Weezy didn't flake on Michael's party ... but, clearly, that wasn't the case the night before when he dipped out of his own concert in Maine without even touching the stage.
