Logan Paul vs. KSI It's a Draw!!! ... But Jake Defeats Deji
The YouTube superstars' superfight night in Manchester, England -- featuring Logan Paul vs. KSI and Jake Paul vs. Deji -- is over ... after the judges called the second battle of the bros a draw.
The 2 went the 6-round distance in an entertaining and exhausting fight, but in the end KSI's hand was raised ... along with Logan's.
The judges' scorecards came out to a majority draw, which can only mean one thing -- REMATCH!!
As for the fight ... Logan dominated the first 2 rounds by landing a number of jabs and body shots, but the momentum seemed to turn after KSI threw a cheap shot after the bell at the end of round 2 ... causing Jake to angrily jump in the ring.
After that, KSI's energy level looked much higher than Logan's -- especially in the final round -- as he threw a series of violent haymakers ... many of which connected.
Earlier, Logan's younger bro Jake defeated Deji in the 5th round by knockout after wearing him down with a flurry of punches in the previous 2 rounds. Deji's corner threw in the towel as Jake continued his barrage in the fifth.
The 2 were aggressive from the opening bell, throwing jabs and hooks and landing head and body shots galore ... and Jake's bloody face in round 1 showed the damage.
He was able to recover, though ... and seemed to have more stamina and composure as the fight went on.
As we reported ... Logan and KSI came face-to-face Friday for weigh-ins one final time before they entered the ring to pummel each other ... and brought the insults.
KSI decided to go after L.P.'s girlfriend, Chloe Bennet ... by walking onto the stage wearing a mask of the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star's face. Logan hit back with a jab at KSI's apparent bad breath ... by giving him some gum.
Both bros have been training like maniacs for months, with KSI crushing his boxing workouts and Logan brutalizing his sparring partner in a training sesh.
As for the Jake fight ... he predicted a 1st-round KO of Deji when asked by legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer at Friday's weigh-in. Deji responded by calling Jake "delusional."
Two days earlier ... Jake slapped Deji in the face when KSI's little bro crashed his gym where he was meeting up with fans for autographs and pics.
But none of that matters now ... to the victor go the spoils.

Jeezy Kourtney's the Hottest Kardashian ... Call Me!!!
Jeezy's officially weighed in on the debate over who's the most bangable Kardashian ... and he used it as an opportunity to shoot his shot with her too.
We got the rapper leaving Avra in Beverly Hills Friday, and showed him the recent pics of Kourtney in Cabo ... which only confirmed his top choice. He then tells Kourt to holla' at him.
Jeezy basically says he's single ... and Kourtney's now single ... so it just makes sense. He's not afraid of what her ex -- Scott Disick, not Younes Bendjima -- thinks about it either ... not at all.
We broke the story ... the "Put On" rapper put music on the back burner and moved to L.A. from Atlanta to become an actor, and even signed with major talent agency UTA.
Being in Hollywood definitely gives Jeezy an in with Kourtney, and if she's into luxury whips ... he says he's got plenty of those, too.
Oh yeah, we also get a Super Bowl pick out of Jeezy ... but it should come as no surprise.

Christian Bale Disneyland Sighting Makes Happiest Fan on Earth
A super slim Christian Bale and his family got their amusement park on ... but nobody was more amused than the woman who finally saw her "love" in real life.
Christian, his wife and kids were getting off the Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland Friday when a fangirl spotted "The Dark Knight" actor and had a mini freakout ... see, it really is the happiest place on Earth.
As we reported ... Bale's back in thin body form, which we saw last month when he was on vacay with his family in Italy.
His current look is a far cry from how he looked last year ... when he bulked up and buzzed his hair to channel Dick Cheney for the upcoming biopic "Backseat." Pretty drastic transformation ... but we all know it's kind of Christian's thing.
And, we have a feeling no matter how he looks ... his Disneyland fan would still love him.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Wiz Khalifa Break-In at L.A. Area Home
Wiz Khalifa's home was broken into early Saturday morning, but luckily a house sitter was there to scare off the wannabe burglars before they did too much damage ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... 2 men wearing hoodies broke some glass and entered Wiz's house in the San Fernando Valley around 4:45 AM. We're told a member of the rapper's team was staying there and heard the noise, and when he came down ... the perps took off.
Our sources say no property was taken as far as they know, and the only damage is the broken glass. Police are still investigating.
This comes on the heels of another L.A. burglary at a celeb's home. We broke the story ... Christina Milian and her famous French BF, M. Pokora, had their home broken into Friday at around 1PM. The crooks made off with jewelry and watches valued at around $100k ... maybe higher.
As we've reported, celebrity burglaries have been a problem for well over a year ... and the hits just keep coming.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Divorce Settlement Complete ... Divorce Final after Ben's Rehab
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have settled their divorce case and the final settlement will be filed with the court after Ben gets out of rehab ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ, Ben and Jen have reached a property settlement, which was complicated and time-consuming because of the fortune that needed to be divided. We've learned the couple did NOT have a prenup, so all of their earnings during their 12-year marriage went into one pot.
As for custody ... we've learned they agreed to joint custody of their 3 children. What's a little unusual ... the settlement does not say how much custodial time Ben and Jen each get. We're told they have gotten along great co-parenting the kids, and feel it's better to shift custody back and forth depending on work schedules rather than abide by a rigid formula.
The wild card in all of this ... Ben's drinking. Our sources say Ben has fallen off the wagon for the last 18 months ... sometimes regaining sobriety only to slip again. It's obviously an issue because when Ben isn't sober it could put the children at risk when he's with them. It's something Ben and Jen have been dealing with for months.
The settlement is complete, but it hasn't been signed because of sobriety issues. However, we're told when Ben is out of rehab and back on his feet it will be signed, sealed and delivered to the judge, and then the divorce will become final.
As for reconciliation ... we're told absolutely not, and it's been that way for a long, long time.

Christina Milian, M. Pokora Latest Burglary Victims
Christina Milian and her famous French BF M. Pokora were the latest L.A. burglary victims ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the crooks broke into their San Fernando Valley home Friday at around 1 PM. They got inside by smashing a side door and beelined it for the bedroom, where they stole jewelry and watches.
Our sources say the best cops can determine ... the take was around $100,000 but it could be higher.
Christina and M. Pokora, a singer/songwriter who is super famous in France, were out of the country.
Here's the twist. In this case the burglar alarm was on, so the thieves beat the security team and the LAPD.
It's the latest in a string of celebrity burglaries. Most recently a burglar tried to hit Bella Thorne's house this week by breaking a window, but she went outside and scared him off. John Mayer was hit 2 weeks ago, and the burglars made off with somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000.
Although cops are not saying the thieves are specifically targeting celebs ... it seems pretty obvious. Famous people often Instagram where they are, and when they're not at home the burglars clearly know it.
As for Milian's burglars, cops are on the hunt.

Steven Tyler Hey Trump, You're Really Livin' on the Edge ... Stop or Else!!!
Steven Tyler is done giving Donald Trump chances ... the Prez better stop using Aerosmith's songs at campaign rallies ... and that means now!
We got Steven and his GF Aimee Friday in Bev Hills, going into Optometrix, when our photog asked about his repeated demands that Trump stop using songs like "Livin' on the Edge" and "Dream On" at various campaign rallies.
Trump has ignored the demands, and clearly Steven has had it up to here. His lawyers fired off 2 cease and desist letters during the 2016 Presidential campaign as well.
Tyler's lawyers fired off a letter to Trump Wednesday, telling the Prez to cut the crap .. this after "Livin' on the Edge" was played Tuesday at a West Virginia rally.
Tyler tweeted ...
THIS IS NOT ABOUT DEMS VS. REPUB. I DO NOT LET ANYONE USE MY SONGS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. MY MUSIC IS FOR CAUSES NOT FOR POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS OR RALLIES. PROTECTING COPYRIGHT AND SONGWRITERS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR EVEN BEFORE THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TOOK OFFICE.

LeBron James Needs Three Rings For L.A. Statue ... Says Ex-Laker
Not one ... not two ... but THREE championships is what it'll take for LeBron James to get a statue among the legends outside Staples Center, so says ex-L.A. star Devean George.
We got the former Laker out at LAX when we asked an interesting question ... what would it take for LBJ to be bronzed like Shaq, Magic, Kareem and Jerry West??
"I think one [championship], I think it would be no consideration," George says.
"Two, probably no consideration. Three, I think they might be like, 'Should we talk about it??'"
Insanely high standards right?! But, George might be on to something ... 'cause between the four players immortalized outside Staples -- THEY'VE GOT 14 LAKERS RINGS!!!
Sooo ... better get to winning soon, 'Bron.

Nick Jonas I'm Flyin' Solo Tonight
Nick Jonas went to dinner solo Friday night, and fans swarmed to congratulate him on his engagement.
Nick was in WeHo at Craig's, sans fiancee Priyanka Chopra. When he left, he graciously, though robotically, posed with fans who wanted a precious selfie with the singer.
He just got back from Mumbai, where he and Priyanka celebrated their engagement with her family in a traditional ceremony.
Our photog asked Nick if his new song, "Right Now," is about Priyanka but he was mum.
The song goes ...
-- You are my water, my sun, my moon and stars/ Your heart is all I need
Sounds like it, right?

Lauren Conrad No Bad Blood ... Too Busy For Reboot
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 645 shares
Lauren Conrad, star of the "The Hills," didn't turn down MTV's reboot because she hated her costars ... she's just way too busy making a fortune.
Sources close to Lauren tell us ... LC is swamped with business ventures and just doesn't have time to shoot "The Hills: New Beginnings," which premiers in 2019.
It makes sense why LC can't be bothered with a reboot. Been there, done that.
Lauren's already got several revenue streams -- multiple clothing lines and her own stores -- and her business portfolio is WAY stronger than any of her former costars.
She's DEFINITELY got more going on than Justin "Bobby" Brescia.
We broke the story ... Justin bashed Lauren and Kristin Cavallari as "s****y people" in discussing the new cast for the reboot.
Everyone who watched "The Hills" knows ... LC had tons of confrontations.
But, LC's blowing off Justin's comments ... we're told her decision to pass on the show doesn't have anything to do with beef or lingering problems with Justin or anyone else.
Screw a reboot, Lauren has enough material for her own reality show.

Ohio State Legend Michigan Shouldn't Talk Crap ... You've Had Scandals Too
University of Michigan fans shouldn't point their fingers at Ohio State over the Urban Meyer scandal, 'cause the Maize & Blue don't exactly have clean hands either ... so says an ex-OSU football star.
Buckeye legend Shawn Springs -- the #3 pick in the '97 NFL Draft -- says he's definitely not proud of what went down at Ohio State and knows the school needs to do better. But, trash talk doesn't help anyone.
He also points out that OSU ain't the first big school to mess up -- and he's got this message for everyone throwing stones at the Buckeye athletics program.
"I would ask them what school they went to, and tell me a school that hadn't went through some type of trials and tribulations or problems."
"I can't name one. I know my Michigan buddies, they won't even mention anything. They have no room to talk up there, that school up north."
Springs wasn't specific about which scandal he was referencing -- but UM's had their fair share (remember the basketball scandal with Chris Webber?).
Shawn believes, in the end, the scandal will force the current OSU football players to rally together and it could make them better and stronger than ever before.
"In moments of trying times like this, you will see how we respond."

Steve-O Bam Off The Wagon ... Sad For My Friend
Steve-O is an expert on rehab and substance abuse ... and he's torn up over the recent troubles of his old friend and "Jackass" co-star Bam Margera.
We got Steve-O out in L.A.'s Franklin Village ... and he told us how he's broken up by news of Bam's relapse.
As we reported ... Bam was robbed at gunpoint during a super sketchy cab ride in Cartagena, Colombia ... and handled it by downing his first drink in more than 7 months.
Steve-O drops some insight into the struggles Bam and other alcoholics face on a daily basis -- with a spot-on metaphor for the whole situation. He also has an opinion on Bam's claim he had been sober since he went to rehab back in January following his DUI arrest.
If there's one person who can get through to Bam ... it's got to be Steve-O.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis Kobe Doesn't Need Big3 ... But We Still Want Him
Kobe Bryant's career was so amazing he never has to pick up a basketball again ... but if he does, former NBA star Glen "Big Baby" Davis hopes it's with the Ice Cube's BIG3 basketball league.
Mamba's reps told TMZ Sports he had no plans to play in the BIG3, this after a league honcho said he had on a "credible source" that Kobe was considering it.
We got Baby (a BIG3 player) out in L.A. and asked him if he thinks Kobe made the wrong choice, and he clearly DOESN'T, saying Kobe has accomplished so much he doesn't need roundball anymore.
BTW -- We ask Davis about a potential career AFTER BIG3, one he'd be PERFECT FOR, and he seems pretty down.
