He may be the heavyweight champion of the world, but Deontay Wilder still has goals -- telling TMZ Sports he wants to bang Nia Long ... in a sex scene for a Hollywood movie.

See, Wilder has dreams of becoming an actor in addition to the whole boxing thing ... and clearly, he likes the idea of doing some romantic work with the star of "Love Jones," "The Best Man" and "Big Momma's House."

In fact, Wilder says he's had a HUUUGE crush on Long for years ... and in the clip, makes the ultimate pitch to be her leading man in the sack.

You gotta watch the clip -- dude's HILARIOUS!

It's crab leg time in Tampa Bay ... the Bucs have just selected Jameis Winston with the #1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Bucs reportedly launched a serious recon mission into Jameis' personal life to find out if Winston was worth the risk. Clearly, they weren't concerned with what they found.

Seems Aaron Rodgers is still bitter about the NFL Draft ... calling it a "train wreck of 'expert' analysis and awkward hugs."

So, why would the Super Bowl champion QB be so salty on the league's biggest offseason moment?

It probably stems from the 2005 draft ... when some experts projected Rodgers to be the #1 overall pick ... but instead, he tumbled all the way down to #24.

Cameras focused on Aaron during the slide ... and you can tell he was pissed.

'Hangover' star Brody Stevens says the vendors and concession workers at Camden Yards are getting SCREWED ... and tells TMZ Sports the "empty stadium" solution is a total disaster.

As we previously reported ... the concession stand workers at Camden Yards are pissed -- because no fans, means no concessions ... which means no work. Which means no paycheck.

Which brings us to Brody -- who's not just a hilarious comic, but one of the most die-hard baseball fans in the country -- who used to work in a baseball stadium himself back in the day.

But Brody didn't just bitch about the problems ... he's got solutions.

Dante Fowler's like a young, giant Austin Powers villain ... 'cause the dude LOOOOOVESSSSS GOLLDDDD!!!

Fowler just showed up to the NFL Draft in Chicago -- where he's expected to be taken in the 1st round -- sporting a crazy pair of GOLD SPIKED LOUBOUTIN SHOES ... with the red bottoms and all.

There's more ... dude also rocked a solid gold watch and a gold chain to spruce up his peppermint suit.

Hey, you only get drafted once.

Bad news for Suge Knight ... Floyd Mayweather will NOT be posting his $10 million bail if he wins his fight this weekend ... this according to a key member of Floyd's Money Team.

TMZ Sports just got off the phone with one of Floyd's most trusted members of his TMT crew -- who tells us Suge's lawyer was just plain wrong when he told media outlets there was a plan in place for Floyd to fork over the money.

We're told Floyd and Suge were close in the past -- but they haven't been in contact in several years.

Suge is currently locked up in L.A. on murder charges -- and his attorney Matthew Fletcher reportedly said Knight was counting on Floyd to cover his bail.

Jameis Winston is going to look like a million bucks when he makes his first million bucks ... 'cause TMZ Sports has a sneak peek of Winston's draft day suit ... and it's pretty freakin' fly.

Winston -- the projected #1 pick -- is going to strut around his Alabama draft party in a custom suit made by L.A. based clothing company elevee.

We spoke to Percy Knox, elevee honcho, who tells TMZ Sports ... Jameis called the plays when it came to his suit ... designing the color scheme around the yellow Nike kicks he plans to rock tonight.

"He saw a picture [of a suit he liked] and said, 'that's the one.' Jameis really liked the style and we added the fabric." ... Super 130 ... an ultra-fine wool.

Knox tells us ... after Winston was measured, the bespoke suit didn't take long to create ... "We did it in less than a day."

Jameis isn't the only probable 1st rounder that'll be rockin' elevee's bespoke suits ... the company also designed suits for Vic Beasley, Kevin White, and Trae Waynes.

Plaxico Burress says he did NOT intentionally try to screw the government out of a $48,000 tax bill -- claiming the whole thing is a miscommunication -- and he DOESN'T belong in prison.

Plax was indicted on 2 counts of failing to pay taxes -- and faces up to 10 years in prison under New Jersey law.

But a rep for the ex-NFL star tells TMZ Sports ... Plax has a perfectly good explanation -- and says, "Prosecutors are clearly trying to take advantage of a guy who's been in the news negatively and trying to make an example out of him."

Long story short ... when Plax filed his 2013 tax bill electronically, he noticed the IRS had taken funds out of his bank account.

Plax thought the transaction meant his debt was satisfied -- not realizing the IRS only takes federal taxes. He still owed on state taxes.

Now that he realizes the issue, Plax's rep says Burress has hired a new tax attorney and is "cooperating fully" with state officials to pay his debt and clear his name.

Burress' rep says Plaxico also had issues with his accountant -- and has since fired the firm ... adding, "They did a terrible job."

More trouble for ex-NFL star Plaxico Burress -- he's been indicted in New Jersey for allegedly failing to pay close to $50,000 in state taxes ... and he could face serious prison time.

Prosecutors say Burress initially tried to file his state income return for 2013 back in October -- showing he owed $48,000 -- but the electronic funds transfer failed.

Officials say they notified Burress and the person who did Plax's taxes multiple times -- but they never remedied the situation.

So, Plax was charged with 1 count of willful failure to pay a state tax and 1 count of issuing a bad check or electronic funds transfer -- crimes that are punishable by up to 5 years in prison each.

Plax is no stranger to the law -- he did two years on a weapons charge after shooting himself in the leg in a Manhattan nightclub in 2008.

Diddy and Mark Wahlberg have a mega bet for $250,000 on the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight -- and unlike a lot of other big time betters ... the loser in this wager is actually gonna pay up.

We know this because Mark says they've got the money sitting in escrow! Yeah, super rich people bet differently from the rest of us.

The 2016 presidential election could come down to one man ... PITBULL ... and Jeb Bush knows it.

There have been reports that both Democrats and Republicans have been ferociously trying to court the rapper to their party -- strongly believing Mr. 305 could have GREAT political influence in the election.

And why? He's got a huge Latino following ... especially in Florida ... which is one of the most important swing states for presidential elections.

Which brings us to former Gov. Bush -- who was out in D.C. Thursday morning. We asked a fairly easy question -- if you could bring ANYONE to a baseball game, who would it be?

First he picked Teddy Roosevelt ... but then, he adds another name to the list -- Mr. Worldwide!!

Here are a few images that should make Shelly Sterling happy -- V. Stiviano finally moving a bunch of her crap out of the L.A. duplex that she (thought) Donald had given her for life.

The world's most infamous archivist was ordered to move out of the place and hand the keys back to the Sterlings after losing a legal war with Shelly.

Shelly had claimed Donald paid for the condo (and several expensive cars) with community money ... and had no legal right to blow such a HUGE amount of cash without Shelly's permission.

The judge agreed and ordered Stiviano to give back the duplex and the cash value of the cars ... and this week, V. got started on the moving process.

We spoke with Stiviano's attorney who tells us she's still considering if she'll file an appeal and fight the ruling -- but in the meantime, we're told she's already found a new place to live.

It's like the reverse Jeffersons ...

Mike Tyson just WENT OFF on Floyd Mayweather -- saying he's "delusional" for comparing himself to Muhammad Ali ... and called him a "little scared man."

Tyson was doing an interview with the Undisputed Champion Network -- when he was asked about Floyd's claim that he's truly the "greatest" of all time.

Clearly, that set Tyson off ... who proceeded to explain why greatness isn't solely defined in the ring.

Long story short, Tyson says Floyd's just a "small scared man" ... who's so afraid for his own safety in public that he can't take his kids to school without a security team.

"Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people."

When in Vegas ...

Another rich celebrity is getting into the gambling spirit -- with boxing superstar Andre Berto dropping $100k to bet on his boy Floyd Mayweather ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We're told Berto placed the bet last night at the MGM Grand.

The odds are so strongly in Floyd's favor, that even if Berto wins ... he only stands to make about $45,000.

Still, not a bad night.

As we previously reported, there are a bunch of huge, rich stars dropping big cash on the fight ... including 50 Cent, who says he's betting $1.6 on Floyd.

Good news for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ... the NBA legend has been discharged from the hospital and is now resting at home after a scary medical emergency early Wednesday morning.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Kareem was rushed to the hospital and was being treated after something went wrong in his recovery from quadruple bypass surgery earlier this month.

Now, a rep for Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is explaining exactly what happened:

"[Thursday morning] Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was experiencing some dizziness following his April 16 quadruple bypass surgery. He contacted his physicians who told him to come to the emergency department at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center."

"He was evaluated by his surgeon and cardiologist. After a battery of tests, they found no complications. Abdul-Jabbar was discharged from the emergency department and is back home continuing his recovery."

"His surgeon, Dr. Richard Shemin, said it is not uncommon for patients to experience some symptoms that require ruling out serious problems following major heart surgery. Shemin added that Abdul-Jabbar did the right thing by coming in to see his doctors."

Laila Ali has a message for Floyd Mayweather -- just because you THINK you're the "greatest," doesn't make it true!

Ali was leaving LAX yesterday when she told us she's not mad at Floyd for BELIEVING he's the best boxer of all time -- in fact, she respects his mentality -- but at the end of the day, he's just wrong.

There's more ... we also asked Laila if there's ANY chance she'll ever get into the ring for a mega-fight with UFC superstar Ronda Rousey.
