Dana White Ronda Rousey's 'Probably Done Fighting'
It's likely over for Ronda Rousey ... so says UFC honcho Dana White who says when it comes to fighting, "I think she's probably done."
White appeared on the "UFC Unfiltered" podcast and was asked straight-up about the chances of Ronda getting back in the Octagon after she got destroyed by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.
"In the conversation I had with her, if I had to say right here right now -- again I don't like saying right here right now because it's up to her -- but I wouldn't say she fights again," White said.
"I think she's probably done ... She's going to ride off into the sunset and start living her life outside of fighting."
Ronda's been busy since the fight ... protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline and working on getting her concealed weapons license in Nevada.
If she is done fighting forever ... salute to Ronda. She's a legend.

Akon Trump Has Made Americans Targets
Akon is really scared ... because he travels abroad a lot and thinks Donald Trump has put a big fat target on his head.
The singer thinks it's not just Americans whom Trump has put in danger, it's Canadians too, because foreigners lump us both together. That means Justin Bieber and Drake are also vulnerable.
The silver lining ... Akon thinks Trump didn't fully understand the power of the word and the pen, but maybe now he does.

Academy of Motion Pictures Sued Oscars So Cruel! They Fired Me, Gave Me a Heart Attack
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave a man who beat cancer a heart attack when they fired him ... according to the ex-employee.
The man claims his cancer treatment forced him to go on disability from July 2015 to March 2016, but he returned to work when his cancer went into remission. He says the HR supervisor was cool with him working from home if he needed to for pain management.
He says a new supervisor took over in April 2016 and turned his work life upside down. In a lawsuit, he says the new HR honcho gave him a hard time when he tried to work from home, and ignored his doctor's notes requesting flexibility.
Eventually, he says he was fired by email and was so upset ... he had a heart attack on the spot. He's now suing for disability discrimination and wrongful termination.
We reached out to the Academy ... so far, no word back.

Drake Home Sale Big Phony Scam
Drake got punked by an impostor who pretended to be his manager and put the word out the rapper was putting his incredible estate on the market ... and the media took the bait.
The LA Times reported Monday Drake had listed his Hidden Hills property for $19,999,900. It's an amazing property, with a grotto which matches the Playboy Mansion, a theater, game room, spa/massage room, and on and on.
Turns out, a random guy who has no association with Drake posted the house as "For sale by owner" on Zillow. A real estate agent noticed the posting and reached out to the "manager" to see if he could rep the property.
The "manager" told the agent he could rep Drake in the sale, and that's when the agent posted the listing on the Multiple Listing Service as an active listing.
The agent, Alexei Pavlov, tells TMZ he never intended to put the property on the MLS as active ... it was supposed to be in drafts while he worked out details with the "manager." But Pavlov says when he spoke with the "manager" to nail down the listing, the guy got aggressive and confessed it was a scam.
Short story ... the house isn't for sale, and the grotto will continue to be populated with hot chicks.

Kardashian Sisters Say Adios, Costa Rica ... To Our Sickeningly Cute Kids
Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian had to haul extra luggage to the airport ... and appeared to handle it all on their own.
Kim had 2 handfuls with North and Saint, Kourtney lugged Reign ... and even Kylie was on (step)mom duty with Tyga's son, King Cairo. The fam was loading up for the return flight from Costa Rica. Looks like Khloe and Kris dodged kiddie duties.
There's no debating how adorable the kids are, but Kim's choice in footwear?
Check out the pics ... probably not the wisest with 2 tots on board.

Backstreet Boys & 'NSYNC McLean & Fatone Duet for 40th Bday ... What Rivalry??!!
If A.J. McLean and Joey Fatone can wave the boy band white flag and come together onstage ... then maybe there's hope for America too.
The awesome duet went down Saturday night during Joey's 40th birthday bash at Ora nightclub in Miami. The former pop rivals decided to serenade the crowd with the Backstreet Boys hit, "I Want It That Way."
You'd think they'd do an 'NSYNC tune ... it was Joey's night after all, but the crowd ate it up, anyway.
If BsB ever needs a fill-in baritone, holla at Fatone! He's available.

Bieber, Drake, Kanye No-Shows At Grammys Ceremony is Irrelevant
Kanye West, Justin Bieber and other big stars are going to be MIA from the Grammys, and we know why.
It started with Frank Ocean, who many think had the best album of the year, but didn't even bother submitting it for Grammy consideration. Ocean says he thinks the Grammys are a dinosaur that doesn't represent young, black artists.
We're told Justin Bieber, who's nominated for 4 Grammys, plans to be somewhere other than the Grammys a week from Sunday. As for why, we're told he just doesn't think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers.
Drake has 8 nominations but we're told he also doesn't plan to be there ... we're told he'll be on tour in Europe.
As for Kanye, who's got 8 noms, he received 21 Grammys in the past, but he always lost when he went head-to-head against a white singer.
Our sources say it's not like the Oscars ... there's no real anger, it's just that a lot of younger singers think the Grammys are out of touch and arguably irrelevant.
They could all change their minds and show up, but we're told as of now the plan is to take a raincheck.

Uber Drivers Pissed Re: Muslim Ban Response ... Bailing for Lyft Gigs
Uber drivers are quitting because they're pissed about the company's response to the "Muslim ban,' and about the CEO's relationship with President Trump -- and they're fleeing to the competition.
Drivers in California, New York, Pennsylvania and North Carolina tell TMZ ... they've joined the #DeleteUber movement along with thousands of customers. Uber driver Jonathan -- who's shot some epic YouTube vids with customers -- says he's done working for and promoting Uber because CEO Travis Kalanick "continues to be feeble in making a strong stance against the President's policies."
A driver in NY told us he was disgusted Uber crossed strike lines at JFK airport -- where taxi drivers were protesting the Muslim ban -- and used it as an opportunity to make some easy money.
Most of the drivers we spoke to said they had applied, or were already working with Lyft ... because they feel it's a more honest and "socially conscious" company. Lyft pledged $1 mil to the ACLU.
Uber wouldn't comment on drivers bolting, but pointed out Kalanick sent a company-wide memo Friday night stating Trump's ban was wrong, and he intended to discuss it with the President later this week.

Soulja Boy Here's the Real Deal ... I'm with Holyfield Now, Floyd's Out!
Soulja Boy's stepping up to the heavyweight ranks for his fight with Chris Brown -- he's got Evander Holyfield training him now, instead of Floyd Mayweather.
Soulja's promoter, Wack 100, tells us he reached out to the ex-champ and hooked them up on the phone. He says Soulja pitched himself to Evander ... convincing him he's serious about the boxing match with Chris.
We're told Soulja did a lot of talking about "knocking out" Chris, but Evander gave him a quick tip: train harder, talk less. He also assured the skinny singer he can get him into true knockout form. Of course, the nemesis of Evander's ears -- Mike Tyson -- is training Chris, but we're told his name didn't come up during the initial convo.
As for why Floyd is out ... Soulja felt like he was too busy with other interests. We're told there's no hard feelings, just business.
If you're still waiting to buy tickets -- no date or venue's been nailed down.
