Sydney Sweeney is in her bombshell era ... debuting a sexy new blonde bob and a plunging pink gown at the Christy premiere in Los Angeles.

The "Euphoria" star turned heads at the AFI Fest Saturday night, showing off a new chop that had everyone doing a double-take. She ditched her long locks and debuted a fresh, wavy blonde bob that hits just above her shoulders ... a switch up from her signature look.

Sydney matched her bold new 'do with a light pink halter dress that hugged her curves and cinched perfectly at the waist, serving old Hollywood meets Barbie.

Brett Favre is certain Aaron Rodgers will head into Sunday's matchup against his old team with some extra motivation ... telling TMZ Sports he's sure the QB "will want to play the best game he's ever played" vs. the Packers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signal-caller is facing off with Green Bay for the first time since it traded him back in 2023 ... and Favre told us this week there's just no way his former teammate is viewing the tilt as just another game.

Favre said Rodgers "certainly doesn't want to lay an egg on maybe his last game against the Packers" -- although he didn't necessarily think Aaron's looking for any kind of "revenge."

Ask and you shall receive -- DeAndre Jordan expressed his hopes of joining an NBA team to TMZ Sports on Thursday ... and one day later, he's a New Orleans Pelican.

We caught up with the 6'11" center at LAX roughly 24 hours before it was announced the NBA camp would be making his way to the Big Easy on a one-year, $3.6 million deal.

Jordan, who spent the last three seasons with the Denver Nuggets, told us he was ready to suit up again without specifying a team ... and as luck would have it, he didn't have to sit by the phone too long.

WrestleMania 42 might be months away, but it's never too early for WWE Superstar Omos to shoot his shot ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he wants to run back his 2023 showdown with Brock Lesnar in Vegas!!

Mojo Muhtadi chopped it up with the 7'3'' giant on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ... where he laid out the challenge to the Beast Incarnate.

"Going bigger in [Las] Vegas, I'm going to put it out there," he said. "Brock Lesnar, we need to run it back!"

Bryant Gumbel's back on his feet ... walking through New York City with his wife after an ambulance rushed him to the hospital earlier this week.

The former "Today" cohost bundled up in a black bomber jacket ... keeping a low profile in a New York Yankees cap and pair of dark shades while his wife, Hilary, held tightly to his arm.

Bryant lifted his face to the sky in one photo ... drinking in the sunlight after several days in the hospital -- and, he looked relatviely normal, if a bit tired.

Ciara's no stranger to sharing sexy snapshots on social media, and they're something of an issue for us ... because we just can't leave 'em alone!

And since the singer's hitting the big 4-0 this weekend, we thought we'd celebrate her special day by putting together a gallery of her most sizzling shots from over the past few years!

Vanessa Hudgens is baby bumping in her bikini ... along with her bestie!

Check out the actress' latest Insta post -- she's all smiles as she shows off her round belly on the beach with her best friend, who's also preggo.

Vanessa is giving off mermaid vibes with her long, curly hair cascading down her back while dressed in an adorable floral print 2-piece.

Before he was President Trump, he was New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump ... and a cool memento from that moment in time is now hitting the auction block!!

For those too young to remember, Trump was famously the majority owner of the United States Football League's New Jersey Generals in 1984 ... and had his own white, red and blue team jacket to prove it.

Grey Flannel Auctions now has its hands on the rare item ... and it's slated to go to the highest bidder!!

Jon Jones may tune in to UFC 321 for the hugely consequential heavyweight fight, but Tom Aspinall ain't at all concerned with Bones' Saturday night plans ... telling TMZ Sports he doesn't give a s*** about the UFC legend!

We talked to the 32-year-old heavyweight champ before his highly anticipated main event fight against 35-year-old Ciryl Gane ... where we talked about everything from his top-ranked opp, to his rival, Jon.

"I couldn't care less [if Jon Jones' wateches], to be honest," Tom told us. "Honestly, he's the last person on my mind this week."

Stephen Gostkowski is sure patience with Bill Belichick at UNC will be rewarded ... telling TMZ Sports this week if the Tar Heels give him time, the head coach "will figure it out."

The former Patriots star -- who played under Belichick for 14 seasons in New England -- called the 73-year-old "the best coach" ... while making it clear he has no concerns about The Hoodie's ability to win, despite a slow start in Chapel Hill.

"I can't really say too much bad about him," the ex-All-Pro kicker said. "I enjoyed working with him every minute of the day. I used to be scared to death of him. Maybe not so much anymore. But I'm pulling for him."

Game 1 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays is underway ... and Drake is in the house!

Drake was shown in a suite after the bottom of the fifth inning ... looking cool AF and having a chill time with the game tied 2-2.

It makes sense ... Drake is a Toronto native, and Game 1 is at Rogers Centre -- and the dude totally lost his mind when when they punched their ticket to the Fall Classic, their first since winning back in 1993.

First pitch of the World Series is just hours away ... and Shohei Ohtani is hoping his dog, Decoy, gives him some good luck -- rocking a letterman jacket with his pooch's face on it!!

Ohtani pulled up to Game 1 in Toronto in style, rocking the tan letterman jacket with tan pants, New Balance shoes and his own custom Beats headphones.

If you're familiar with Dodgers baseball, you know Decoy is a popular figure in the fanbase. The team even had a bobblehead night featuring Ohtani and his dog ... who even got the chance to "throw" out the first pitch!

Time to TAP-IN y'all! Gen-Z was up and at 'em this week! Here are the MUST-KNOWS:

The long-lived feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar may be reignited with tonight's World Series game. Earlier this week, Toronto native Drake went from zero to 100 real quick when the Blue Jays secured their spot in the World Series, while Kendrick -- who's from Compton, California -- is backing his beloved Dodgers 💯!

The question is:

JoJo Siwa's relationship garnered buzz this week -- She hit the carpet at the 2025 Dancers Against Cancer Gala ... and packed on the PDA with partner Chris Hughes. The smooches were flying, and so were the comments online; some peeps are over this relationship, while some are totes here for it 😘!

Terry Rozier's team isn't abandoning him after his arrest ... with Erik Spoelstra and Bam Adebayo showing support for the player on Friday.

Spoelstra -- the Miami Heat head coach since 2008 -- addressed reporters at practice ... just 24 hours after his shooting guard was taken into custody.

He initially said he couldn't comment much due to the ongoing case ... but made it clear Rozier means a lot to him and the team.

Megan Thee Stallion was front and center, cheering on her beau, Klay Thompson, for his NBA season-opener when he and his Mavs got blown out by over 30 points -- and she's doubling down her affection in a new single!!!

On Friday, Megan unleashed her "Lover Girl" single -- independently released on her Hot Girl Productions imprint -- lyrically gushing over Klay's moves off the court ... "My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby / D****n' me down, spoiling me, driving me crazy."

Meg proudly refers to Klay as "her n***a" but says he never stoops low and labels her a "b*tch" ... but raps how the Splash Brother has no issues turning her lady parts into "Splash Town" -- backing up all the liquid language she flexed on her Diamond-selling collab with Cardi B, "WAP."

The song also borrows its sample from female R&B group Total's 1995 hit, "Kissin' You" from back when they were signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records

The NFL just handed down some hefty fines on the New York Giants, head coach Brian Daboll and rookie running back Cam Skattebo for violating the league's concussion protocol policy ... all for "creating the perception" they interfered with Jaxson Dart while he was being evaluated for a head injury.

It all stems from the team's Week 6 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles ... when the Giants rookie QB was taken into the blue medical tent for a concussion test.

Only members of the medical staff and the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant are allowed inside the tent. Daboll and Skattebo broke those rules ... which is a big no-no.
