Andre Berto is adamant he did NOT call Victor Ortiz a "f*g" during a fight at their press conference this week -- telling TMZ Sports, "I respect gay people."

A shot of Bar Refaeli looking smokin' in a bikini isn't unusual, usually ... but in this pic she is, unbelievably, 5 months pregnant!

Looking less bloated than most people after a footlong sub -- the supermodel posed in full profile to show off her baby bump ... which is really more pimple-like than anything.

Sunbathing Bar's caption? "My girl craved some Vitamin D."

We wanna see mom craving some double cheeseburgers! Check out Bar from 6 months ago when she was NOT prego ... not much difference.

She and Coco have all the luck.

Teresa Giudice has a ton of lonely nights and days ahead, and kicked off her ME time with a pensive, solo walk.

The 'Real Housewives' star took the stroll Thursday near her home in NJ ... no doubt, thinking about the next 3 plus years. Hubby, Joe Giudice, shipped off to prison on Wednesday to begin his 41 month sentence.

It won't be a walk in the park for her, and definitely NOT for Joe.

Garry Shandling was feeling bad the night before he died, and he was making plans to go to the ER Thursday afternoon.

Sources connected with the comedian tell TMZ ... he spoke with a doctor friend of his Wednesday late afternoon, complaining he was not feeling well. The doctor was concerned enough that he came to Shandling's home and checked him out.

Garry complained he was achy and short of breath. He did not complain of chest pains. The doctor told Garry if he was not feeling well the next day he should go to the ER to check it out. Garry said if he wasn't feeling better he'd probably go sometime Thursday afternoon.

In a recent appearance on Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," Shandling cracked a joke about having hyperparathyroidism ... which, according to the Mayo Clinic, can lead to cardiovascular disease.

TMZ broke the story, Garry called 911 Thursday at around 10:30 AM and fell unconscious during the call. Paramedics responded, broke his door down and found him unresponsive. We're told he had a weak pulse at the house. He was pronounced dead at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica.

Gov. Chris Christie's autographed workout shorts -- big enough for two, really -- are HUGE ... on eBay.

The seller of the 5XL gym shorts is hawking them as the real deal, straight outta the closet of Jersey's big man. They include a Presidential Physical Fitness Award badge, and Christie's rather ironic signature and note ... "Stay in shape."

Now, Christie's office has yet to confirm the shorts, size 60 waist, are legit and the seller tells TMZ ... she only came into 'em second hand. She says her dad bought 'em for $10 at a garage sale -- where that seller claimed to have won them in a Christie fundraiser raffle.

We did our own comparison of the signatures, and uh ... not exactly a match. At all.

The BIG question, of course ... are they used? The seller makes no promises, but we know this -- ya won't find a single ice cream stain on them.

The Guv's real good with a cone.

It's no wonder Katt Williams got tossed around like a rag doll by a 17-year-old boy ... the kid was a bona fide high school wrestler.

Luke Wash, who wrestled for Gainesville High, is no stranger to the choke hold in which Williams found himself. Take a look at the pic -- it's easy to see, Luke's a natural as he towers over his opponent.

As TMZ reported ... Luke and Katt got into it during a soccer game, and the jawing continued after the match. Luke got in Katt's face, Katt punched him and Luke took the comedian down.

We're told cops are investigating the incident and the consequences could be serious for Katt ... his bail could be revoked.

Tracy Morgan seriously thought about taking his life after he woke up from a coma after his near-fatal accident, but a classic TV theme eased his pain.

Tracy said he "contemplated suicide" when he was sitting at home, unable to walk and terrified that he'd never be funny again. As he puts it, "I was in a very dark place." He also told Rolling Stone he struggled with feelings of guilt ... since he survived the accident, but his friend and mentor Jimmy Mack did not.

He doesn't remember the actual wreck on a NJ highway -- and he's totally fine with that -- but he recalls that playing the "Taxi" theme song calmed him when things got tough during recovery. Tracy cued up the song during the RS interview and started crying ... "I remember them days. Jesus."

It ain't the most uplifting tune, but glad it worked for Tracy.

Patrick Schwarzenegger and girlfriend Abby Champion sauntered into The Grove Thursday and paid a visit to the Easter Bunny.

The Grove is awesome, now featuring a Bunny House where even adults can get a little tail.

As if Ryan Gosling doesn't have enough going for him -- he's also a better singer than Justin Timberlake ... at least that's what A.J. McLean thinks.

The Backstreet Boys singer gave us some insider boy band 411 about the rumor Gosling auditioned for a spot in 'N Sync. You gotta hear his comparison of the Mickey Mouse Club alums ... 'cause it's straight up blasphemy, if you're a JT fan.

Also interesting, his memory of a bromantic experience -- watching girl on girl porn with the rest of his BSB group mates ... 'cause they wanted it that way.

Amanda Bynes won't be part of Nickelodeon's "All That" reunion -- she wasn't even invited.

Sources close to Bynes tell us she found out about the reunion when a trailer was released online ... she never got a heads up from producers.

Bynes got her start on the '90s sketch comedy series, and went on to star in her own Nickelodeon show, "The Amanda Show," a few years later.

Amanda tells friends she would've declined the offer anyway, because her focus these days is fashion, not acting.

As we reported, the "All That" reunion won't feature new material. Instead it will be a lot of reminiscing with "All That" alums Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Danny Tamberelli, Lori Beth Denberg and Josh Server.

Maybe producers just asked Ashley by mistake ...

"Return to Amish" star Chapel Peace was peddling more than butter and blankets ... prosecutors say she was deep into meth.

The 33-year-old was one of 27 busted in Pennsylvania this week during a massive drug sting. According to the State Attorney General, detectives seized more than $90k of meth, $8,400 of heroin and more than $27k in cash.

Peace, who's been featured on the series, was charged with possession with intent to distribute and for having paraphernalia. Chapel was also reportedly arrested last year with heroin.

No word if this will affect Peace's gig on the TLC show.

Memphis Grizzlies superstar Zach Randolph has been accused of strangling a woman at an L.A. hotel ... though he is adamant her allegations are 100% false.

A spring break bro with a cannon for an arm is facing up to 6 months in jail after nailing a cop car with his football -- a dumbass move that went viral.

Gulf Shores PD in Alabama has issued an arrest warrant for Kameron Lane Heady after officers, like thousands of other people, saw the clip of Heady winding up and targeting one of their units patrolling the beach last week.

Cops down in Gulf Shores responded to the video with their own, saying -- "Great arm, Bad decision" and informed Heady they were looking to put him in cuffs. Sounds funny, but cops tell us they're serious as a judge in a wet t-shirt contest.

Cops tell us Kam hasn't turned himself in yet. Max punishment if he's convicted of misdemeanor harassment would be a $500 fine and 6 months in jail. It's unlikely he'd get locked up, but that $500 would buy a lot o' kegs.

1:44 PM PT -- Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Shandling died from a massive heart attack, with no prior warning whatsoever.

Comedian Garry Shandling died at an L.A. area hospital on Thursday ... TMZ has learned.

The 66-year-old star was not suffering from any illness ... as far as we know ... so, it appears this was sudden. A source connected to Shandling says he was healthy and speaking to people on Thursday morning.

Our source says there was a 911 call from "The Larry Sanders Show" star's home, and he was transported to the hospital. We're told Shandling was alive when he arrived at the hospital.

Last weekend, Shandling was hanging with friends Kathy Griffin and Bob Odenkirk ... who also co-starred with Garry on 'Larry Sanders.'
