"@JustinBieber Welcome to the Jet Club!" Mayweather wrote.


1226-bieber-private-jet-christmas-INSTAGRAM-01"Yes, I got a 14 passenger jet. Got to give them another reason to hate, but I will motivate the people that are ambitious and want to be winners in life. I am guilty! "


He continued, "I'm materialistic & I'm motivated by money...but GOD is first in my life. GOD will not give you anything you can't handle. That's why GOD gave me the best hands in the business to pray with, box with and count money with."


Good to see he's stayin' humble ...

'NFL Network' Star Jamie Dukes -- Xmas Flight Makes Emergency Landing ... Passenger Allegedly Made Threats

Xmas Flight Makes Emergency Landing


Passenger Allegedly Made Threats



EXCLUSIVE


1226-jamie-dukes-emergency-landing-MAIN-01


A routine flight turned scary for ex-NFL player Jamie Dukes and his wife Angela -- when their plane made an emergency landing on Xmas day because of an out-of-control passenger.


TMZ Sports spoke with the NFL Network analyst and his wife who tell us they were on Delta flight 81 from Atlanta to L.A. when the pilot announced the plane would be making an emergency landing in Albuquerque because of a security issue on-board.


The Dukes tells us ... the issue was a bizarre-acting male passenger who had been pacing around the cabin ... getting up to go to the bathroom at least 5 or 6 times in the 90 minutes they were in the air.


Angela tells us the man appeared emotionally unstable -- bursting into tears at multiple points in the flight.


We're told the situation reached the tipping point when the man tried to use the 1st class restroom near the cockpit ... and was denied.


That's when the man began having what appeared to be "confrontational" conversations with several passengers.


Angela tells us the buzz on the plane was that the man may have made a threat.


The pilot then made an announcement over the loudspeaker that he had made a decision to take the plane down in N.M.


"When we landed, he just took his info out ... put his hands up and said 'Just come get me,'" Angela says.


The passenger was removed from the plane and was questioned by the FBI. Officials say the man will not be charged with a crime -- but was not allowed back on the plane.


Angela says she applauds the airplane staff for how they handled the situation -- but says, "I just wished I could've sat closer to him to tell him 'Dude just chill.'"

Clippers Spencer Hawes -- Rocks Amazing Hideous Xmas Suit ... Tribute to Craig Sager

Rocks Amazing Hideous Xmas Suit


... Tribute to Craig Sager



1226-spencer-hawes-christmas-suit-AP-01It might be the most incredible/disgusting/amazing outfit ever worn by an NBA player -- the holiday suit Spencer Hawes wore on the bench during last night's Clippers vs. Warriors game.


But there was a reason the Clippers 7-footer decided to rock the nasty red, white and green look ... it was all a tribute to TNT's legendary sideline reporter Craig Sager ... who's famous for his outrageous fashion statements.


Unfortunately, Craig's battling leukemia and hasn't worked this season -- so Spencer felt he would pick up the Xmas day slack.


In fact, Hawes -- who was sidelined with an injury last night -- tweeted, "Mr. Sager do you approve? Merry Christmas!"


Get well soon, Craig!

Oregon WR Byron Marshall -- Marcus Mariota's No Johnny Manziel


EXCLUSIVE


122614_byron_marshall_launch Not all Heisman Trophy winners are alike ... especially when it comes to party habits -- just ask Oregon wide receiver Byron Marshall who says Marcus Mariota has a completely different playbook than Johnny Manziel when it comes to post-game celebrations.


Marshall -- who led the team with 61 catches for 814 yards this season -- was at LAX this when he told us how Mariota likes to unwind after a big win -- and it ain't exactly poppin' champagne and prowlin' for chicks a la Johnny Football.


Instead, Marshall says Mariota likes to just chill and kick it with his lady ... which is interesting considering there were several reports that Marcus had broken up with his GF Nicole Watase ... his high school sweetheart who also goes to school at Oregon.


So, does this mean they're back together? Based on this pic, let's hope so ...

Michael Brown -- LAPD Launches Investigation Over Parody Song


breaking news


121914_michael_brown_song_launch_v6

The LAPD is conducting an investigation to determine if cops currently on the force attended a dinner at the Glendale Elks Lodge which featured a horrible parody of "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," making fun of Michael Brown's death.


TMZ broke the story ... retired LAPD Officer Joe Myers threw a charity golf tournament a week ago Monday, and then threw a dinner afterward at the Elks Lodge. As 50-60 people watched, Gary Fishell -- P.I. and former federal law enforcement officer -- sang the parody , with lyrics that included, "Two men took to fightin' And Michael punched in through the door, And Michael looked like some old Swiss Cheese, His brain was splattered on the floor."


We're told LAPD's Internal Affairs will conduct an investigation to determine if current LAPD cops were at the event. We're told there were some active police officers at the dinner, but we do not know the specific agencies.


If active officers were at the event, I.A. will determine if they exhibited "conduct unbecoming of a police officer," which could subject them to discipline.
