Here’s UFC superstar Paige VanZant dancing to Justin Timberlake … in a bra … and shaking her ass.
VanZant was a hardcore dancer as a teen — and says her background has played a huge role in helping her train as a UFC fighter.
In fact, the 21-year-old has a huge fight coming up on Dec. 10th against Joanne Calderwood at UFC Fight Night 80.
We’ll see if she’s still dancing after the final bell.
Chet Hanks says he’s cleaning up his act — for real this time!

The 25-year-old wanted to clear up recent reports that he had gone missing, admitting that he was in fact in rehab:
“I’ve been in rehab. I’ve been trying to get my sh*t together, and I’m doing pretty damn good … I just really had to take a look at myself and my life and the way sh*t was going and all the crazy stupid sh*t I was doing and just finally admit to myself that it wasn’t working.”
Good for him!!
The musician, who used to go by Chet Haze, revealed last year that he has been battling a cocaine addiction since he was 16 years old. Over the summer, it got worse than it’s ever been:
“A couple months ago I was selling coke and doing coke until I couldn’t even snort it up my nose anymore because it was so clogged. I even smoked crack. If I can change, you can change. There is a solution.”
So, so sad! But we are happy to see him facing his demons once and for all — we hope it works this time!
In one of his confessions, he shared that his past has caused major challenges for him:
“It’s been a long journey discovering who I am. Because all the pressures that I’ve dealt with in my life – you know, being the son of my dad and everything. Just trying to find where I fit in.”
Chet also brought up the controversy over his use of the N-word, that even caused Instagram to temporarily shut down his account:
“I know a lot of y’all kinda understood the point I was trying to make, but the truth is it’s not my place to speak on that. And I’m genuinely sorry for the people I offended.”
In a final message thanking his friends and family for their support, he wrote:
“I only say this to show y’all how real it is, not to glorify anything I’ve done. There’s nothing glorious about bringing yourself closer to death and prison with each day of active addiction. I’m just giving y’all the raw realness to let y’all know that this shit here really is not a game. It’s life or death. And the solution is Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and the surrendering of your will and your life over to a Higher Power of your own understanding.”
Ch-ch-check out his most telling admissions (below)!

Terrell Owens‘ triumphant return to Dallas is still on hold … with the WR telling us there hasn’t been any movement since he reached out to the Cowboys earlier this season — but he isn’t giving up hope.
Owens was hangin’ out on the Sunset Strip Wednesday when the 41-year-old told us he’s still keeping himself in NFL-condition — “Staying ready, so I don’t have to get ready.”
Just a few weeks ago, Owens told Rich Eisen he had his agent reach out to the Cowboys to see if they had any interest after losing Dez Bryant to an injury. So we asked him about it.
“I haven’t heard anything as of yet … but that’s not to say that anything can’t happen.”
Owens says he’d consider playing for other NFL teams — but insists it would need to be the “right situation.”
Good luck!
Uh oh!
Louis Tomlinson‘s certainly not letting his impending fatherhood get in the way of his good time!
In the wee hours of Thursday morn, the One Direction member was spotted out with his bandmates, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, at the Cirque De Soir nightclub in London following their concert at the O2 Arena.

Now, we can’t blame the 23-year-old for wanting to celebrate the final show for the boyband’s London leg of their On The Road Again world tour — but we are curious about the gaggle of women he left with just before 3:30 a.m.!
Is it just us or did the daddy-to-be look a tad disheveled while leaving the hotspot?! LOLz!
We have a feeling baby momma Briana Jungwirth won’t be too thrilled by this behavior. Though the twosome claim they’re simply just friends — fans went into a frenzy when they saw the stylist at one of Louis’ shows last week!
Still, it might take some time to adjust to his new, responsible lifestyle since it was only last month that the British cutie officially confirmed that he was going to be a father.
You might as well get your kicks in now Louis, because you’re about to have some sleepless nights ahead of you! HA!
