Nick Jonas isn't gonna let a little thing like an open wound on a hot chick's knee crush his game, as proven by this footage of their epic day ... complete with public makeout sesh.

Nick and his bro Joe are gallivanting around Australia this week, but Nick went solo on Wednesday for a hot date that got off to a rough start when his date banged up her knees during a bike ride.

Not to worry, he rescued the sexy sheila (Aussie for babe) in distress by sweeping her off her feet -- and gnarly knee.

Nick and his chick did lunch, did the beach, did a romantic nightcap at Sydney's Watson's Bay Hotel -- then, most likely, did each other.

They didn't even try to hide their hot and heavy hook-up, and we're told they left together after the place cleared out.

Simon Fuller was an inch away from confirming the Spice Girls reunion concert tour ... but -- truth be told -- our photog sorta blew it.

We got Simon Wednesday night in WeHo leaving Madeo, and asked about a couple of things. As for Mel B intimating her girl group is playing the Royal Wedding ... well, he makes it seem like it's news to him.

But then our photog goes in ... what about the reunion tour? Simon says it may be 4 instead of 5 ... obviously suggesting Victoria might not be on board. The follow-up ... well, heartbreaking.

Speaking of breaking ... TMZ broke the story the group is reuniting for a limited number of concerts in England and the U.S. Victoria has denied the group is reuniting ... Mel B has a different story.

Sad news for Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly ... who just announced his oral cancer has returned.

Kelly was initially diagnosed with oral cancer back in 2013. He beat it once -- and then it resurfaced. He beat it again. Now, Kelly says he's facing round 3.

"The oral cancer we hoped would be gone forever has returned," Jim said in a statement.

"As our family has faced many trials and triumphs throughout the years, you have blessed us with your prayers. We are asking for those prayers once again."

"Although I was shocked and deeply saddened to receive this news, I know that God is with me."

He added, "With all of you by my side, we will fight and win this battle together. Staying 'Kelly Tough' and trusting God, will carry us through this difficult time."

Jim's wife, Jill, also commented ... saying, "The cancer is back. We are shocked, heartbroken, sad, angry, confused, and just darn tired."

"Yet, despite how we feel, we KNOW that God is a promise maker and keeper."

Blac Chyna is apparently following Aaliyah's age-old advice on relationships -- but is she pushing it with a dude who's more than 10 years her junior?

BC was spotted holding hands Wednesday with 18-year-old TX-born rapper YBN Almighty Jay on date night #2 this week in Studio City. Chyna is 29 years old, BTW ... yep.

It looks like these 2 definitely got a thing going on here -- Chyna confirmed as much by saying they were, like, dating. They also went bowling together the other night.

No word on where they were headed this time around, or how fresh this new coupling might be. One thing's for sure, though ... BC doesn't seem concerned with her sex tape leaks.

Wow, talk about a twist!

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has just confirmed reports that his 38-year-old girlfriend gave birth to a secret baby -- but he insists he's NOT the daddy!

Ricki Noel Lander gave birth to the kid back in 2017 but nobody knew about it until Page Six broke the story Wednesday evening. It seemed 76-year-old Kraft was the father since they've been dating for about 5 years.

But, Kraft's reps just issued a "Billy Jean"-style statement saying -- the kid is not my son.

"Last fall, Ricki Noel Lander became the proud mother of a beautiful, healthy baby," the rep tells TMZ Sports.

"While Robert Kraft is not the biological father, he is thrilled with Ricki’s blessing of having a healthy child. With respect to her family’s privacy, we will not be commenting any further."

Justin Bieber got bumpy service during a church service.

The Biebs was worshiping Wednesday in L.A. at the Saban Theatre ... while he was inside, a staffer struggled as he backed Justin's Lamborghini up into a driveway. The major downside to a Lambo -- a super low bumper.

Selena Gomez was also there but apparently arrived separately. Paps asked if it's too early to talk marriage. After all, the kids can't seem to get enough of each other ... with PDA galore.

T.I. has gone from the negotiating table to the dinner table at Houston's ... because he believes there's no need for a boycott anymore since the restaurant is no longer -- as he alleged -- racist.

Sources close to Tip tell us he's had several meetings with execs of the Atlanta-area restaurant since October -- when he first imposed the boycott ... this after a number of African-Americans complained the chain was reluctant to seat them.

Waka Flocka's mom Deb Antney helped pushed the boycott back in October after someone claimed they went to the Houston's in Atlanta with a large party of African Americans and they were refused service as they watched a large party of Caucasians seated comfortably.

We're told the restaurant assured T.I. there will be NO racial discrimination in seating customers. T.I. felt the dress code had the effect of discriminating against African-Americans, and the restaurant has assured him the code will be less strict.

7:25 AM PT -- Oath Inc. -- which owns AOL -- has canceled the Oshry sisters' YouTube show, "The Morning Breath," and is launching an investigation into the latest revelations about the family.

The 'Girl With No Job' might soon be the Girl With No Followers -- 'cause the viral sensation is apologizing for old racist tweets ... and a familial connection to Pamela Geller.

Claudia Oshry Soffer posted an apology video Wednesday after years-old anti-Muslim tweets about Obama surfaced -- this on the heels of being outed as one of Geller's daughters.

If you're unfamiliar, Geller is an incredibly controversial right wing activist who's known for peddling anti-Muslim rhetoric ... and who strongly supports Trump. Until now, it wasn't known that Claudia and her other 3 Instagram-famous sisters were tied to the woman.

Claudia didn't address her ties to her mother in her apology video, but distanced herself from her mother's views in a statement, saying ... "We want to be clear to our audience and fans that our political and cultural beliefs are not anti-Muslim or anti-anyone. Our views are separate from our mother’s."

Kathie Lee Gifford is all for divine intervention guiding Oprah's decision on whether she should run for President.

We got KLG leaving lunch Wednesday at Michael's, and our guy dropped the best question of the day: What signs should Oprah be looking for from her colleague, God?

Of course, Kathie had some answers -- while she prayed for the big guy to bring her car around.

A student who survived the Florida shooting says he's happy George Clooney and Scooter Braun are super involved with their cause -- in fact, he says the more, the merrier.

Dimitri Hoth -- a student survivor at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High -- has a clear view of the upcoming March for Our Lives rally in D.C. He wants celebs front and center, because they have the key to the most powerful engine of change -- social media.

TMZ broke the story ... Scooter and George are deeply embedded in organizing the event for MFOL, but have stayed out of the spotlight to avoid blurring the students' message.

It's a student effort, but he says famous people, including vocal supporters Oprah and Jimmy Fallon, will be warmly received.

Don't expect Warren G to campaign for Stacey Dash in her run for Congress ... because he doesn't think she's fit to rep his hometown.

The West Coast hip-hop legend and Long Beach native tells us it's nothing personal -- he admits he doesn't know Stacey -- but he believes she lacks the strong connection to the community she'll be expected to represent.

Or as he puts it ... "You can't have somebody that don't understand the struggle of what it is in all of these neighborhoods."

Dash filed paperwork to run for a seat in California's 44th district, which includes Carson, Compton and North LB ... even though she grew up on the opposite side of the country in the Bronx.

Warren leaves the door open for Stacey, though, saying she probably means well and can take steps to improve her merit ... but it's definitely not a vote of confidence.

Let's stop pretending D-1 college basketball players are just student athletes -- they're PROS who deserve to get paid already ... so says Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin.

Bevin just WENT OFF about the current state of college basketball -- slamming the way the NCAA treats players ... and explaining why the concept of amateurism in top-tier college sports is a lie.

"It's a multi-BILLION industry in America, college athletics ... and yet we're pretending these kids are just student athletes? Come on."

That said ... Bevin is a huge fan of college basketball and sports in general -- he just wants the players to be treated fairly.

"I firmly believe that for top-tier D-1 programs, these kids should get paid. They're professional athletes, for us to pretend otherwise is ridiculous."

He also referred to the top-tier programs as the "minor leagues of professional sports."

Sports Illustrated is going to bat for Ashley Graham after Toccara Jones called her twerking abilities subpar -- and this new video of her booty-shaking in the sand ... is the perfect re-butt-al..

SI posted the new clip on Wednesday ... showing more of Ashley's on location twerk-off with a photo shoot crew member. Interestingly, the video dropped AFTER Toccara, the "Queen of Thickness," called out AG's twerk skills.

She straight-up laughed, telling us Ashley was lacking some major pop.

In Toccara's defense ... she was looking at a different SI vid (below), where Ashley was shot from afar.

We have no clue if the new angle would sway Toccara's vote, but we'll say this -- Ashley's got plenty of swaying going on back there. Plenty.

Kevin O'Leary is in a pretty good mood, considering he and the other "Shark Tank" moguls missed out on a cut of $1 BILLION Amazon paid for a product they let slip through their hands.

Mr. Wonderful talked to us about whiffing on Ring, a smart doorbell company once pitched on "Shark Tank" (as DoorBot) by its creator Jamie Siminoff. Kevin proudly reminded us he's the only shark who made an offer.

Even though he couldn't close the deal, Kev has no hard feelings and says he KNEW Jamie was gonna make it big.

Now that Siminoff's a billionaire, Mr. Wonderful has some advice for him on what to do with his cheddar. Hint: It's time to swim with the sharks.
