Chris Pratt PAYS UP SUPER BOWL BET ... Hey Kids, It's Star-Lord!
Chris Pratt is like a Lannister ... he always pays his debts -- and today, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star dressed up as Star-Lord to make good on his Super Bowl wager with Chris Evans.
You already know the bet ... Star-Lord (Seahawks fan) and Captain America (Pats fan) agreed to visit the other actor's charity in costume if their team lost the big game.
Well, today it happened ... with Pratt -- in character -- hangin' with kids from Christopher's Haven in Boston ... an organization that helps provide housing for families with children fighting pediatric cancer.
Don't worry, Evans was there the whole time to follow Pratt around with a Tom Brady jersey.
And the story gets better ... because Evans says he'll be visiting Pratt's charity too -- a Seattle Children's Hospital.

"I've been eating cheeseburgers off the charts," Gronk told us out in NYC earlier today.

Warren Sapp Bud Light Pulls Commercials After Prostitution Arrest
Bud Light's up for whatever ... but clearly, there's a line ... because the beer giant has officially pulled Warren Sapp's commercial after this week's prostitution arrest ... TMZ Sports has learned.
You know the spot ... Warren bursts into the home of a Tampa Bay Bucs superfan and gives the guy a Buccaneers-themed makeover ... complete with a cannon-firing pirate ship in the backyard.
But after Sapp was arrested in Arizona on Monday for allegedly soliciting and assaulting a prostitute in his hotel room ... the spots mysteriously disappeared from the air and were yanked from YouTube.
We reached out to Anheuser-Busch about the situation ... and a rep told us, "Warren Sapp appeared in one of our television commercials last fall, but he is not currently being featured in any of our advertising."
Translation -- the ads have been pulled.
For the record, the commercial was still airing during the NFL playoffs.
It's another blow to Sapp's career -- the NFL Network immediately fired the Hall of Famer from his analyst gig hours after he was taken into custody.

Wladimir Klitschko Childbirth Is Tougher Than Any Fighter 'Hayden Is a Hero'
Tyson ... Ali ... Rocky -- they've all got NOTHING on Hayden Panettiere ... or any other woman who's ever had to give birth ... so says Hayden's boxing superstar baby daddy Wladimir Klitschko.
Wlad says Hayden's pain tolerance must be through the roof in order for her to have pushed out their giant baby 2 months ago ... saying he now believes women are WAY tougher than any boxer.
"Every woman is a hero."
Hayden might be more of a hero than most ... considering their daughter Kaya was 7 lbs., 14 oz. and damn near 2 feet tall. Hayden's only 5 feet tall.
