Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might be getting married at Madison Square Garden after all ... though it may still be a more intimate affair than the 1,000-person event that's also going down.

TMZ has confirmed the pair is having a gathering of around 100 people on July 2 ... the day before the main wedding celebration is set to go down. The New York Times was the first to report this news.

It's unclear what the pair plan to do on July 2 ... but, given it's a smaller group before a wedding celebration, it seems highly likely this could be the actual wedding itself -- or perhaps a welcome bash for close friends and family.

Terrion Arnold is spending the weekend in jail -- and potentially a whole lot longer -- the Lions cornerback just made his first court appearance, and the judge ordered the 23-year-old to be held without bond.

Arnold, wearing a green anti-suicide vest, stood before a Hillsborough County (FL) judge Thursday afternoon, where he's facing eight felony charges -- four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery -- going back to an alleged February 4th incident in Tampa.

Check out the clip ... the father of NBA stars Lonzo, LaMelo, and former NBA G-Leaguer LiAngelo, was on N3on's podcast and revealed for the first time that he and Tina are no longer together.

It seems like she made the decision, and LaVar -- while he certainly seems hurt by it -- is rolling with the punches.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White is fed up with how Caitlin Clark is getting treated during games ... and a fist to the hooper's throat seemed like the last straw.

The league's biggest name was roughed up during the Fever's 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday ... a contest Clark left in the third quarter due to back issues.

Prior to her departure, Clark was at the center of two incidents White considered to be "cheap shots" ... including one that spread like wildfire on social media.

There are lots of challenges that come along with being a lottery pick in the NBA Draft ... but Cameron Boozer has a leg up on his fellow rookies, 'cause he doesn't have to look far if he needs some advice -- his dad, Carlos Boozer, is just a call away.

TMZ Sports was out in NYC -- location of the draft -- on Tuesday, when we bumped into the Boozer fam ... including pops, who played 13 seasons in The Association.

Terrion Arnold turned himself into police Wednesday evening in Florida on multiple felony kidnapping and robbery charges ... but Detroit Lions star vehemently denies doing anything wrong, and says he intends to prove it in court.

Arnold, 23, is currently being held in a Hillsborough County jail facility after being booked at 10:11 PM.

The charges -- four counts of robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and four counts of kidnapping with intent to harm or terrorize -- go back to an alleged incident in Tampa in February.

The allegations have been floating around for months, and Arnold, a former first round draft pick in 2024, has always maintained he did nothing wrong.

On Tuesday night, shortly after he surrendered, Denise White, Terrion's rep, adamantly denied her client did anything wrong, citing a lack of evidence.

"Terrion Arnold categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence," White said in a statement provided to TMZ Sports.

"There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences."

White continued, vowing to fight the charges.

"Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication."

Arnold is being held without bond.

Jenni 'JWoww' Farley pulled a fast one on her loved ones ... springing a surprise wedding on them!

Former San Francisco Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff went scorched earth over the team's Pride Night firestorm ... unleashing a homophobic rant that he said spoke for "almost everyone" in Major League Baseball.

The controversial slugger, who was with the team for two World Series title runs, said the fallout over some players writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats was absurd ... and he defended legendary Giants player and front office honcho Buster Posey for holding court with the media, only to deflect all questions about Pride Night.

Had he been in Buster's shoes, Huff says he would have responded ... "I'm not wearing this gay bulls***. Queers don't watch Baseball anyway. They watch 'The View,' enjoy therapy, & f**** p***ing sessions. And anyone inside the LGBTQ community, or those who support them don't like what I just said, then I say to you…. Go f*** yourselves, & eat a d***. And I mean that in the most literal sense."

Angel McCoughtry isn't buying Dana White's explanation for why the UFC doesn't hold Pride Nights ... calling the stance hypocritical and arguing the LGBTQ+ community deserves the same visibility other groups receive through major sports organizations.

The star WNBA player joined us on "TMZ Live" and said Dana's argument that sexuality is a personal matter, not a workplace issue, doesn't hold up. In her view, the same logic could be applied to other groups, such as the military, which sports leagues regularly choose to spotlight.

Angel argues that giving the LGBTQ+ community a platform wouldn't hurt anyone and could actually help closeted athletes feel more comfortable being themselves.
