Muhammad Ali would have been in full support of NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem ... because his ex-wife tells TMZ Sports "he would've been right there with them."

Khalilah Ali -- who was married to the boxing legend from '67 to '76 -- says it brought tears to her eyes to watch all the players kneel "in unity" last weekend ... and thinks Muhammad would've been proud to see the protest he started continuing to this day.

TMZ broke lots of pregnancy news this week, and it was all in the Kardashian fam. And, sad to say, it's unclear exactly what NFL players are protesting. So we gotta ask ...

Kim, Khloe and Kylie will make you a small fortune if they all pop out a bunch of baby boys ... but the odds are STACKED.

The gambling site BetOnline.ag -- one of the biggest gambling sites -- will pay out $3,300 for your $100 bet if they all give birth to boys. But as TMZ's reported ... Kim's surrogate is having a girl and Kylie's telling friends she's having a girl. So ... good luck with that.

But there are some safer bets:

+300 if they all have girls

+1400 if Kim's baby begins with K

+450 if Tyga tweets congrats to Kylie

Don't let these almost identical images of Jennifer Garner chew you up, put your best foot forward and see if you can fork over the differences between these two super similar shots.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has had a rough time of late ... his wife had a miscarriage earlier this month, he relapsed and ended up again in rehab for alcoholism, but he's just snagged a huge honor ... Best Actor at the Boston Film Festival.

Jon was tearful as he accepted the award for the lead role in 'Damascus Cover,' a spy thriller about a secret agent who goes on a mission to Syria to smuggle out a chemical weapons scientist. The film, written and directed by Daniel Berk, also won Best Picture and Best Director.

Meyers broke down as he accepted the award as he talked about working with the late John Hurt, who co-starred in the film, which was his last.

Meyers left rehab to attend the event last weekend. He's back getting help.

Drake's dad is nothing if not proud of his son, and he'll be reminding everyone of that ... for the rest of his life.

Dennis Graham got an enormous tattoo of his boy's face on his right arm ... compliments of tattoo artist, Money Mike. We're told Drake's dad met Mike at his birthday party and told him he wanted to get the ink to match Drake getting Dennis' mug shot tattooed on his arm in 2014.

And, of course, because he loves his son.

Money Mike went to Dennis' house a few days later and tatted him up with Drake's mug in a 4-hour sesh ... and did it for free.

Drake has lots of face tats on his bod -- his dad's mug shot and other family faces tattooed on his back, and Lil Wayne's face on the back of his arm.

Stevie Wonder is telling TMZ Sports exactly what the national anthem protests mean to him ... and why taking a knee does NOT disrespect the flag.

We asked Stevie about the NFL movement sweeping the country ... and he told us that it's a fight for respect and unity -- two things Donald Trump wasn't preachin' when he told NFL owners to fire their "SOB" players.

"People want to be respected ... the constitution's about everyone being respected," Stevie said.

"It's about stopping all this ... putting one group against the other group."

As for criticism that kneeling ain't patriotic -- "People have died for the flag -- everyone, every culture, every ethnicity -- so it's not about not valuing the flag."

FYI, the legendary singer joined the protest last weekend ... dropping to his knees in back-to-back concerts.

Put your pregnant Kardashian knowledge to the test with these bustin' out bellies ... see if you can labor up the skill to guess who's about to pop!

Cher is going after a biopharmaceutical company, claiming officials there screwed her by luring her to sell her stock while it was on the cusp of a medical breakthrough that made the company's value soar.

Cher says she bought 300,000 shares of Altor in 2013 ... but 2 years later a company official spoke to her directly and offered to buy her shares back. However, according to the docs, he withheld key info about successful clinical trials of the drugs they were working on for cancer and HIV research.

The singer claims essentially what the guy didn't tell her was that they had made an incredible breakthrough in both cancer and HIV treatments.

Cher sold the stock and soon after ... the price went through the ceiling.

She's suing for unspecified damages.

Tori Spelling and Benihana put out the fire in their legal battle ... and all signs point to the restaurant chain paying her some cash.

According to new docs ... Tori and Benihana reached a settlement in her lawsuit, in which she alleged she slipped and fell on one of their hibachi grills at the Encino, CA location and suffered deep second and third-degree burn injuries.

Spelling sued in 2015 for medical expenses and pain and suffering, and even if she didn't get her pound of flesh, she at least got an 8-ounce steak from the chain.

Hopefully the settlement included some gift certificates ... that place is delicious.

Jim Carrey has fired back at the mother of his former girlfriend who committed suicide, saying the girlfriend tried to extort him by falsely accusing him of giving her herpes.

Jim is in a battle royale lawsuit over the death of Cathriona White, who killed herself in 2015, shortly after Jim broke up with her.

White's widower and her mom are suing Carrey, claiming he was responsible for her death. They allege in their lawsuit she was distraught over getting herpes, allegedly from Jim.

Carrey says White did indeed text him back in 2013 that she had bumps on her vagina, but he says she actually got those bumps from a wax job. He goes on to say White, with her lawyer, falsely tried to shake Jim down for several million dollars, claiming he gave her an STD.

Jim says the reality ... White had herpes before they even met. As for the wax job, Jim says White and her lawyer used the bumps she got as trumped up evidence of what they said was herpes and tried to pin it on him.

Prince Harry knows how to crack up a president.

No. 44 and His Royal Highness hit up Day 7 of the Invictus Games in Toronto. Obama and Prince Harry sat courtside for a little wheelchair basketball action.

After the game, they posed for pics with the American team in the locker room.

O.J. Simpson will not be allowed to live in Florida after he's released on parole next week ... if the Attorney General of the State has her way.

A.G. Pam Bondi has sent a letter to the Florida Dept. of Corrections, objecting to O.J.'s apparent intention to relocate to Florida.

Bondi cites numerous reasons:

-- A lack of contrition for his crimes

-- A massive civil judgment in the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ron Goldman wrongful death case that Simpson has avoided paying

-- He was convicted of spousal battery against Nicole Brown Simpson

-- His reputation for destructive behavior, including road rage, breaking into a girlfriend's home, an arrest for speeding in his powerboat in a manatee zone and civil theft of television signals.

Bondi also says Simpson moving to Florida would create a burden on law enforcement because of his notoriety.

She's asking the Department to turn thumbs down if Simpson makes a request to live in the Sunshine State.

The embattled Health and Human Services Secretary, Tom Price, couldn't weather the firestorm of criticism for his use of private jets -- he's offered his resignation and President Trump accepted.

The news comes just 1 day after Price said "taxpayers won't pay a dime for my seat on those planes." But even that drew ire among his harshest critics because he reportedly totaled over $400k after repeatedly chartering private planes for personal travel. Price said he'd cut a check for only $51,887, the cost of HIS seat.

Trump said earlier Friday he would make a decision "sometime tonight" but Price -- reportedly worth $13 million -- beat him to the punch.

Price didn't seem bothered when we got him in D.C. and used the flu shot to evade our questions.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Dept. says the body cam footage absolutely justifies why police took down Michael Bennett at gunpoint during a search for an active shooter ... saying it was NOT about race.

Bennett had claimed he was racially profiled in the early hours of August 27 -- when cops detained him outside the Cromwell hotel following the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight.

The footage shows a 3-man police team -- made up of 2 hispanic officers and 1 black officer -- identify Bennett as a suspicious person who did not get down on the ground as ordered during the hotel sweep.

Video shows Bennett crouching and running in the casino before bolting out of a hotel door, jumping over a gate and running to the street.

One of the officers quickly asks if the man running had a gun and then gives chase.

Once Bennett was detained, cops determined Bennett was not a shooter. They asked for ID. He said, "Michael Bennett. Seattle Seahawks. Look it up."

Cops took his advice and looked him up on their cell phones.

Cops say the body cam 100% proves the incident had nothing to do with race.

As for Bennett, he told officers he was scared and was only thinking about getting home to his 3 young daughters.
