In a race against a horse, who'd win -- the horse or Chris Pratt?

If you guessed the horse and not the guy who plays Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy," then you're probably right -- but that didn't stop Pratt from sizing up a horse while filming an extensive workout scene Sunday in LA.

Danica Patrick has officially confirmed what TMZ already knew ... she's dating Aaron Rodgers!

After we posted a photo of the two out at dinner in Arizona, Danica spoke with the Associated Press and announced the new supercouple.

"Yes, Aaron and I are dating."

Patrick says the two met at the ESPYs back in 2012 -- and have apparently stayed friendly.

Danica says she's a longtime Chicago Bears fan -- but has always rooted for Aaron individually. She now says, "I am probably going to cheer for the whole team."

Martin Luther King Jr.'s son says his father would be "incensed" by President Trump's "shithole" comment ... but MLK III still sees a silver lining.

We got the civil rights leader's oldest son Monday at the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington, D.C., and he weighed in on 45's disparaging remark ... and his father's likely reaction to it.

Perhaps surprisingly, MLK III thinks there can be a positive outcome from Trump's racist sentiment.

Good day to ponder whether his father would be as gracious to the President.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are going public -- the new couple strolled on the beach over the weekend, packed on some PDA and, for good measure ... hung out with Kenny G.

Chris and Dakota have been dating for a few months, but previously took great measures to keep it private. That all changed Sunday in Malibu ... where the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star and Chris looked inseparable.

They had some unexpected company on the beach when Kenny G popped up, sadly without his saxophone. So, no Coldplay-Kenny G collab.

That Dakota's a lucky woman.

Rev. Al Sharpton says President Trump is doing a horrible job of hiding who he really is ... a straight-up racist.

We got the Rev. at Reagan National Airport, and asked if he thought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have had a sit-down with 45, given Trump's controversial track record on racial issues during his presidency.

Sharpton insists Trump's big on using photo ops to make it APPEAR like he's interested in the African-American community, and he's certain MLK would have seen right through that.

Sean Kingston is back at the scene of the jet skiing accident that nearly took his life, and yes ... he's jet skiing again.

Sean was cruising around waterways off Miami Sunday with a few other friends ... all on their own personal watercrafts. He was recording video as he zipped around, which makes you wonder how much he's learned about safety.

You'll recall ... Sean slammed his personal watercraft into a bridge off Miami Beach in 2011. He was critically injured in the accident, and cited for "careless operation."

Sean and his "jet ski mob" tried to get DJ Khaled to come out and play, but no dice. Maybe he's heard about Sean's track record.

Jay-Z's lead character from his 'Story of O.J.' music video is getting drafted for a whole new role ... in fashion and home wares.

Hova's company, S. Carter Enterprises, just filed docs to trademark the animated character, "Jaybo." The plan is to plaster the little guy on T-shirts, sweaters, hats, blankets, shams, dinnerware, mugs, cocktail shakers and thermal containers.

Interesting move to commercialize Jaybo, since it's a playoff of Sambo -- the main character from an 1899 children's book that's widely held to be racist due to the illustrations.

Guess you could say Jay-Z's reclaiming the character ... sans Klan outfit.

Danielle Bregoli's laughing off DJ Suede's claim her 15 minutes of fame are up, and tells us ... Suede needs to check his own watch.

Danielle and her mom hit Catch LA Sunday night, and we asked her about the legal battle with Suede. TMZ broke the story ... Danielle's mom is suing him, claiming he screwed them on the "Cash Me Outside" remix he produced.

Danielle had a two-word rebuttal for Suede, and yes ... one of those words started with 'F.'

While we had her, Danielle also weighed in on how to properly blow your dough when you're a young celeb. Cash some wisdom ... outside.

Jill Zarin just arrived at a New York City chapel for her husband's funeral.

Jill and her daughter, Allyson Shapiro, arrived at the Riverside Memorial Chapel for a service honoring the life of her husband, Bobby Zarin.

Zarin died Saturday after a long bout with cancer. Bobby was diagnosed with thyroid cancer back in 2009, underwent treatment and had his thyroid removed. He suffered a major setback in 2016 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Dennis Rodman's DUI problems have gone from bad to worse ... because he was on probation during his arrest on Saturday -- and it likely means he'll be thrown in the slammer.

The probation stems from a plea deal Rodman struck over a July 2016 wrong way crash -- where he was going the wrong way on an Orange County, CA freeway, struck a car and allegedly fled the scene. Witnesses also saw him drinking at a karaoke bar before the crash but he was not charged with DUI for that incident.

However, Rodman was placed on 3 years probation with the condition he stay out of trouble. It was a good deal for Rodman, considering he was facing up to 2 years in prison.

So, what happens next? Officials will likely revoke his probation in the wake of the new arrest and he could be sent to prison for the full 2 years he was originally due to serve in the wrong way crash case PLUS any additional time for the new arrest.

Rodman's rep has told TMZ Sports the NBA player needs rehab -- but it could be too little, too late.

Kate Upton's still bringing the heat ... mid-winter.

Of course, she's famous for her Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoots, but instead ... Kate slipped into lingerie for a shoot this weekend with Yamamay. She posted a bunch of behind the scenes shots -- God bless her -- from her day at the office.

Kate rocked several different pieces -- white, black, blue -- and captioned her pics, "#confidentbeauty."

Ummm, we didn't realize there was any other kind of beauty for Kate Upton ... but okay.

Zayn Malik's now under the watchful eyes of Gigi Hadid ... if that new ink's really her eyes tattooed on his chest.

The former 1D singer celebrated his 25th birthday over the weekend and Gigi posted this video of her BF ... shirtless and bustin' a move. But a closer inspection of his chest (not that we needed an excuse) shows off the new eyes tattoo that looks eerily similar to Gigi's.

Look at 'em side-by-side ... the resemblance is uncanny. Eye think we've got a winner.

Turns out Queen Elizabeth ain't so down with her crown, after all.

QE2 caused a bit of an uproar in the U.K. during her first sit-down interview with the BBC ... because she damn near bounced her crown. You gotta see her attempt to lift the crown, only to quickly drop it, saying ... "It weighs a ton."

The Queen makes it seem like she hasn't seen her crown in years and, in fact, couldn't tell the front from the back. Can ya blame HRH?

Family jewels can be confusing ... and heavy.

The Dolce & Gabbana show at Milan Fashion week was littered with the offspring of celebs.

Both of Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee's kids walked the runway ... so did the spawn of Diddy, Daniel Day-Lewis, James Marsden, Jude Law and Pierce Brosnan.

It's not the first time famous kids have flooded Milan for the event ... it's also seen the likes of Sofia Richie, Hailey Baldwin, along with Sistine and Sophia Stallone take its runways.

Coco's setting the record straight -- she started the butt movement -- no ifs, ands or butts about it. Ya heard, Kim K and Nicki Minaj?

Coco took to Instagram and posted this classic calendar shot of her and boasted how 21 years ago, she shed light on the modeling industry by proudly flaunting her booty during a time "it was considered to be fat in the modeling world."

She said she paved the way for thick girls during the Kate Moss days and well before the plastic surgery craze. Shots fired? Coco also gave shout-outs to J Lo and Anna Nicole Smith for seeing the vision.

Bow down, bitches.

She may have lost the fight ... but Paige VanZant once again proved she's tough as hell -- fighting 2 more rounds after BREAKING HER ARM!

The former "Dancing with the Stars" finalist cracked her right arm while throwing a spinning back fist at Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC Fight Night 124 on Sunday. She was obviously in pain but refused to stop the fight.

In fact, Paige battled for 2 more rounds -- throwing punches with the broken arm!!!

In the end, PVZ lost the fight (props to Clark) ... but damn -- impressive.

"I’ll be back better and stronger than ever," Paige wrote on Instagram ... "It’s all apart of the fight game. God had other plans for me. Darn spinning back fist."
