Charles Barkley is back in San Antonio for the NCAA men’s basketball championship game on Monday … and he couldn’t leave without reigniting his friendly rivalry with the city — and their “big ol’ women!!”

Barkley added another installment to the playful feud on the stage at the Capital One JamFest Sunday night … one day after his alma mater lost its Final Four matchup against Florida.

After being handed the mic and thanking everyone in attendance … Chuck made sure to point out the ladies who call the Alamo City their home.

Of course, this is Chuck’s thing with the area … and even though it’s all been in good fun, he claimed he was told back in 2021 he had to stop joking about the subject on “Inside the NBA.”

During an interview at the time, the 62-year-old blamed cancel culture for the ban after a story was written in a local newspaper about his “fat-shaming shtick.”

“You can’t even have fun nowadays without these jackasses trying to get you canceled and things like that,” he said.

Russell Brand says sex is a big reason why he wanted to be famous in the first place … and he claims he would never have sex with someone without their consent.

The British actor and comedian just went on a long rant on his Rumble show, “Stay Free with Russell Brand,” doubling down on his denial of rape and sexual assault charges against him in London.

Russell notes the charges all stem from alleged incidents from 1999 to 2004 … and he says back then he must have been “captured by some kind of darkness” because his life was all about sex, drugs and alcohol.

Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko’s on/off relationship carousel has come to a screeching halt — they’ve split, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ the pair officially split last week — though it’s still unclear if they’re on good terms … or even speaking right now.

It seems like an abrupt split — just 5 days ago, Brooks posted a flirtatious TikTok where she cheekily scolded Gleb for shamelessly checking her out in a dress she knew would catch his eye.

It also looks like Brooks hasn’t had time to update her TikTok since the split — she still has two videos with Gleb pinned to the top of her profile.

The uncoupling comes after an on-and-off relationship throughout last year’s ‘DWTS’ filming, with the couple officially confirming their romance to us once the show wrapped.
