Dana White Putin & Trump ... You're Invited to McGregor Fight!
Dana White says he's extended an invitation to both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to be his VIP guests when Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov clash in Vegas next month.
Of course, Dana is tight with POTUS and even spoke at the Republican National Convention during Trump's campaign.
And Putin ... well, Conor recently became friends with the Russian president. And, Khabib is a Russian citizen.
But, Dana knows they probably won't come -- acknowledging that having a world leader at a fight would be a nightmare as far as security is concerned. Instead, White says Trump has assured him he'll watch the fight on Pay-Per-View.
We also asked White if Conor's crew of hooligans will be allowed at the fight -- considering they participated in the bus attack at Barclays Center back in April.
Despite the violence, White says the crew is NOT banned -- and UFC is already drawing up a security plan to make sure Team Conor and Team Khabib don't clash at the event.
One last thing ... how'd Conor's whiskey actually taste? Dana gives us our first Proper No. Twelve review -- and yeah, it doesn't suck.

Olivia Culpo Drop. Dead. Gorg. ... at Paris Fashion Week
Olivia Culpo might as well have shut down Paris Fashion Week ... it ain't gonna get better than this little black dress.
The former Miss Universe slipped into the little black dress of all little black dresses Thursday in Paris during fashion week. Guessing she most likely brought traffic to a standstill when she crossed the street.
The dress itself is stunning ... over the shoulder ruffles, tight and short. Add the perfect clutch, heels and bracelets and you've got the most beautiful woman in the world. Literally.
Just when you thought Olivia draped in latex from head to toe couldn't get better.

Suge Knight Son Reacts to Plea Deal ... The System's Stacked Against Him
Suge Knight's son believes his old man's being treated unfairly, and the system's set up to keep him locked up for the rest of his life ... but he's holding out hope it doesn't go down like that.
Suge Jacob Knight tells TMZ ... despite his father striking a 28-year plea deal in his murder case Thursday, he's staying positive about the situation. He admits he's incredibly concerned about his dad's health, but says Suge's a fighter ... and he's always going to be alright.
Still, Suge Jr. seems pretty upset over the outcome of his dad's case ... and thinks it's time someone gives him a break.
We broke the story ... the 53-year-old former rap mogul pled no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the killing of Terry Carter. Suge will get 28 years in prison but he'll get credit for time served, and due to prison overcrowding, he could get out in just over 10 years.
That's still a long time, considering Suge's health issues, but his son's trying to keep the faith.

Bruno Mars Keeping His Promise to Honor Cardi Nightly on 24K Magic Tour
Bruno Mars is a man of his word when it comes Cardi B -- he's honoring her every night on his tour ... with a pretty epic drum solo.
So far, he's played just over a handful of shows on the 24K Magic World Tour, which Cardi pulled out of last month. Even though she's not there, Cardi's huge hit, "Bodak Yellow," is featured every night when Bruno himself gets behind a drum kit.
Earlier this week, he played in Philly and the crowd ate up the combo of Cardi's voice and track with Bruno's 90-second solo ... complete with a badass light show.
Remember, Cardi said she needed more time to adjust to motherhood. She also said doctors told her it wouldn't be a good idea to bring baby Kulture on the road ... so she bowed out.
Bruno sent a message to Cardi after her announcement, saying he completely understood putting family first and promised to play "Bodak Yellow" every night in her honor.
Now we know HOW he's working it into the show ... and it's a sweet salute.

'Little Women: Dallas' Star 8 Months Pregnant ... And It's a Boy!!!
Emily Fernandez -- aka Right Cheek, half of the rap duo from "Little Women: Dallas" -- is having a baby boy ... and soon!!
Sources close to Emily tell TMZ ... she's 8 months along in her pregnancy, and she's extremely happy and excited. You may recall, Fernandez tragically lost her infant son, JJ, in August 2016 at the age of 3 months ... and had been trying to get pregnant again.
As for the baby daddy ... it's Lontel, Emily's boyfriend from Season 2, and JJ's father as well. The 2 broke up last year over issues with her trying to have another child, and we're told they've had an on-and-off relationship since. She's no longer dating Dallas rapper, Dreadz 448.
We're told Emily and Lontel aren't currently together, but he still plans to be involved in their second son's life.
Our sources say Fernandez used IVF to conceive and choose the gender, but it's unclear if her baby will be a little person or not. That's unknown until birth ... which is quickly approaching.

Rep. Ralph Norman Makes Groping Joke About Justice Ginsburg ... Gets Big Laughs
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is now the butt of sexual harassment jokes ... at least for Rep. Ralph Norman, who dropped one Thursday and kinda killed with it.
The South Carolina Representative was speaking at a Kiwanis Club event in his home state and did his best Shecky Greene. He asked the audience of about 100 people if they'd heard the late-breaking news on Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings -- then said, "Ruth Bader Ginsburg came out that she was groped by Abraham Lincoln."
Make sure to tip your servers, ladies and gentlemen ... Ralph will be here all week!!
Seriously though, the joke actually got a lot of laughs from the partial crowd. Aside from clearly mocking Kavanaugh's accuser Christine Ford ... he also took an arguably cheap shot at RBG's 85 years. Norman should be so lucky.
For the record, he's only 20 years behind RBG. As for any critics of his brand of humor -- Norman says, "lighten up."
1 of 3: My comments earlier today were meant to add a bit of levity to a very serious debate between me and my Democrat opponent and to point to the circus-like atmosphere that Washington DC has become. People really need to learn to lighten up.

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell Hey Cleveland ... Tell Me How My A** Tastes!!!
If you thought NY Jets running back Isaiah Crowell was going to take it easy on his former team on Thursday Night Football ... you thought very wrong.
Isaiah Crowell: big fan of Cleveland. pic.twitter.com/SOOHk7aC5B
@BrandonSaho
Crowell just scored his second TD of the first half to the put the Jets up 14-0 over the Browns, and to celebrate ... he wiped his butt with the ball and threw it in the stands for the Cleveland fans.
That's right, it was touchdown No. 2.
Crowell spent his first 4 years in the NFL with the Browns -- enduring a 1-31 record the past 2 seasons -- before heading to the Jets this offseason.
Clearly ... he's happy to put his Browns behind him.

Yasiel Puig Burglarized for the 4th Time ... Video of Suspect Released
9/20 5:07 PM PT -- The LAPD has now released a video of the crime going down ... showing one of the suspects smashing in the front door with several kicks. Cops are asking for help in identifying the men involved.
7:07 PM PT -- LAPD has just released a photo of one of the suspects, captured by Puig's home security system.
Cops also provided further details, saying the 3 men -- 2 of which are believed to be black males in their early to mid-20s with slim builds -- ransacked Puig's home then located a safe in the second-floor master bedroom. They allegedly dragged it down the stairs through the living room, but fled without it ... leaving it in the doorway.
LAPD claims the suspects caused about $10k in damages. They have no description so far of the third suspect, who was the driver.
The 3 suspects are believed to be the same burglars who hit Puig's house on August 30.
Yasiel Puig really needs to do something about his home security, 'cause he was burglarized yet again -- the 4TH TIME he's been hit ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us cops were called to Puig's San Fernando Valley home Tuesday night around 8 PM after one of the Dodger's assistants got a security alert on his phone, which showed 3 men leaving Puig's property.
Yasiel has a security camera set up that captures motion, and it automatically sends the video to a cell phone programmed to receive it. When Yasiel's associate saw the footage, he immediately called police ... but the bad guys had already fled.
We're told the men broke in through the back door ... smashing it open. It's unclear at this point if anything was taken.
Yasiel wasn't seen celebrating with his team at Dodger Stadium Tuesday night after their walk-off win against the Rockies, but the game went late ... and he presumably left when he got called about the break-in.
If you're keeping track ... Yasiel's been burglarized now a total of 4 times. He initially got hit last spring while he was away for spring training, then again during the World Series last year ... and a third time just last month. Our sources say cops aren't sure if the burglaries are connected, but it's clear someone is keeping track of Yasiel's work schedule, 'cause he's never been home.
Time to get a watchdog or something, Yas. That's our advice.

Trump Admin Officials Sued We're Up S**t's Creek Cause We Can't Canoe ... Thanks to Trump's Stupid Golf Games!!!

Breaking News
- 2 shares
President Trump's pissed off a bunch of canoers who say in a new lawsuit his excessive golfing's gotten them banned from the Potomac River.
The Canoe Cruisers Association of Greater Washington sued Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and the Coast Guard claiming an Administration rule prohibits canoers from accessing 2 miles of the Potomac River near Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
In docs, the canoers claim the Coast Guard and DHS initially had temporarily imposed restrictions but have created a "permanent security zone" in June 2017, and they've been turned away at least 32 times.
The Association claims DHS promised it would address the gripes but went radio silent. As we first reported, Trump's playtime on the green has cost taxpayers at least $300k in golf cart rentals alone for his Secret Service.

Nick Cannon to Kanye Don't Tell Me What I Can or Can't Say ... Even if it's About Kim!!!
Nick Cannon just fired back at Kanye West, who warned him to keep Kim Kardashian's name out of his mouth -- and his message to Ye is simple ... chill, bro.
The 'Wild 'n Out' host says he's got love and respect for Kanye, but also thinks the dude must be trippin' to think he can control what Nick says. He feels strongly he's never disrespected Kanye and Kim's marriage, but adds ... if he's asked a question about Kim he'll answer it honestly.
As we reported ... Kanye took shots at Nick, Drake and Tyson Beckford for talking about Kim -- sexually or otherwise. He called Nick out for discussing Kim's body in a recent interview with VladTV ... and accused Drake of fueling the rumor he slept with Kim.
Still no retort from Drizzy or Tyson, but Nick's making it clear he won't be silenced.

Cardi B & Offset On This #TBT ... I, Thee Wed
Cardi B just gave us the first-ever look at her wedding day ... or night ... it's kind of hard to tell because it went down inside her bedroom.
TMZ broke the story ... Cardi and Offset got married on a whim the same day he proposed to her ... but there have been no photos of the secret ceremony. Cardi took care of that Thursday by posting a 1-year anniversary pic. Best #TBT of the day?
As we told you, the couple secretly tied the knot September 20, 2017 -- a good month before Offset proposed to Cardi onstage. The fake engagement effectively threw everyone off the scent ... until he started referring to Cardi as his wife in public, specifically at the BET Awards.
Once we did some digging, we found out they got a marriage certificate in Fulton County, GA the same day they got married.
One year later and they have their new baby Kulture, and fresh beef with Nicki Minaj.
Happy anniversary!

Conor McGregor Slams Whiskey, Trolls Khabib 'I Would Have Killed You'
9/20/18
Conor McGregor says if Khabib Nurmagomedov stepped off that bus at Barclays Center, he would have MURDERED him and gone to prison for life.
Yeah, it was all part of the insane UFC 229 media event in NYC on Thursday -- where Conor pounded whiskey and fired off dozens of explicit slurs at his opponent.
Conor called Khabib every name in the book -- and made up some new ones -- including:
-- "Little rat, little weasel."
-- "You little fanboy bitch."
-- "You'll do nothing."
-- "You mad backwards c*nt."
-- Regarding the bus incident, Conor said, "When the person you were looking for showed up, you took a sh*t on the back of the bus, so shut your f*cking mouth!!!"
-- "You're a fake lying rat. I'm real."
-- "We don't have to lick no one's a**hole for a check, like f*cking you!!"
There's more about the bus incident ... Conor blames Khabib for the people who were injured in that attack -- saying everything would have been fine if Khabib had the stones to get off the bus and fight.
"I just thank the Lord Jesus Christ that that man doesn't have the balls to step off that bus ... this man would be dead right now."
"He would be in a box and I would be in a cell and we would not have this great fight ahead of us."
4/5/18
Conor also noted his whiskey -- Proper 12 -- is an official sponsor of the UFC 229 fight and will have a logo on the Octagon floor.

Suge Knight Strikes 28-Year Plea Deal in Murder Case
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 7 shares
2:00 PM PT -- The plea deal was just unveiled in court, and Suge will get 28 years in prison after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter. The 53-year-old will get credit for time served -- he's been in jail awaiting trial for around 3 1/2 years. He'll also be on parole for 3 years after serving his prison sentence.
Suge's sentence is stiffer than a typical voluntarily manslaughter because he had a prior felony conviction in 1997. He also got an extra 5 years because the Carter killing was deemed a "serious and violent" felony. He got an additional year due to his truck being a deadly weapon.
Knight cracked a joke ... of sorts. Part of the judge's instructions to the defendant include a phrase about the possibility of deportation following conviction, to which Suge said, "So, ICE can come and get me." There was a smattering of laughter.
Suge Knight has struck a plea deal in his murder case ... TMZ has learned.
Several sources tell us the former Death Row Records exec will be in L.A. County Superior Court Thursday afternoon to enter a plea in the murder of Terry Carter. Knight had been facing the possibility of life in prison, and his trial was scheduled to begin Monday with jury selection.
We broke the story ... Suge ran over Terry back in January 2015 as he fled the Tam's Burgers parking lot in Compton. TMZ posted the surveillance video that showed Knight throw his truck in reverse, knock over one man, then drive forward over Terry ... killing him.
Knight had claimed he was not trying to run over either of the men he hit -- but merely trying to escape because he thought both men were about to shoot him.
Suge was arrested shortly after the incident and has been in jail ever since then, awaiting trial.

Stormy Daniels Ben Roethlisberger 'Terrified' Me ... Tried to Kiss Me
Stormy Daniels claims she was "terrified" when Ben Roethlisberger tried to kiss her during an incident in Lake Tahoe back in 2006 ... insisting she shot the QB down cold.
It's all in her book, "Full Disclosure" -- where she primarily talks about her sexual encounter with Donald Trump.
The day after she allegedly banged "The Apprentice" star, she met the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback at a VIP section of a golf course ... where Ben had been talking with Trump.
At the end of the night, Stormy claims Trump asked Ben to walk the porn star back to her hotel room -- and when they got there, he allegedly asked for a "good night kiss."
Stormy claims she turned him down -- but he pushed lightly on the door while they both stood outside and said, "Come on."
Stormy says she eventually went inside her room alone -- while Ben continued to knock on the door for several minutes before giving up and walking away.
"I was terrified," Stormy says in the book (via CNN) ... "I am rarely terrified."
We reached out to Ben's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.
It's not the first time Big Ben allegedly acted inappropriately with women in Lake Tahoe -- in 2008, a woman claimed the NFL player raped her at the Harrah's Hotel during a celebrity golf tournament.
Roethlisberger was never prosecuted criminally -- but the accuser sued Ben ... and he eventually struck a settlement with her in 2012.
