A 9-year-old boy in Texas had to dodge bullets from the comfort of his own home -- which can be seen in distressing new footage ... and it's a miracle he made it out alive.

Check out this home surveillance video that was captured earlier this month in Fort Worth -- where a drive-by shooting occurred right outside ... sending 4 bullets flying into the apartment as the kid chills on his couch.

In a flash, his home is under fire ... and you can see the boy dive onto the armrest quickly before bolting to his mom's room. He had great instincts to get low and was able to avoid being hit.

GameStop stock soared to 110% Monday ... all thanks to a cryptic social media return from viral day trader Roaring Kitty -- who memorably caused this to happen a few years ago.

The internet personality -- whose real name is Keith Gill -- hinted he's stepping back into the public eye after almost 3 years away ... by posting an eyebrow-raising meme on X late Sunday.

The post in question ... RK shared a photo of a man leaning forward in a chair holding a video game controller ... providing no caption as an explanation. It's a well-known meme -- and it just means that someone's ready to get serious ... presumably, Kitty is too.

Tom Cruise is looking damn good at 61 ... showing off his buff bod on a beach during a break from his hectic filming schedule, and possibly discussing even more flicks while there.

The movie star -- sporting navy swim shorts -- was radiating while living it up at Majorca's Formentor beach in Spain over the weekend ... showing off his chiseled physique as he got in the water and enjoyed a little R&R amid his very busy life.

Earlier that same day ... Tom was seen fully clothed ... sporting a grey top, shorts, and fedora as he hopped onboard a sailboat with filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu -- likely chatting about his role in AGI's upcoming film, for which they're teaming up.

Albany State University volleyball player Mariam Creighton was tragically killed in a nightclub shooting in Atlanta over the weekend. She was only 21 years old.

The Atlanta Police Department said the incident happened around 2:28 AM on Sunday ... when officers responded to shots fired at the Elleven45 establishment.

Responders found six people shot ... two of whom were pronounced dead at the scene -- Creighton and 20-year-old Nakyris Ridley.

Gayle King is a swimsuit model at the ripe age of 69 -- because she's on the cover of Sports Illustrated ... and even as a senior, she's showing off her rockin' bod.

The CBS News anchor was among 4 women tapped to appear on different covers of an upcoming SI issue -- and she's kinda the odd woman out, since the others are veteran models in the biz ... including Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady and Kate Upton.

All those gals are also a lot younger than Gayle, which makes her shoot all the more eye-popping. Frankly, she looks incredible in her spread ... rocking several different bathing suits.

Brittany Mahomes just gave her followers a deeper look into her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot with some behind-the-scenes pics ... and check 'em out, they're steeeaaaaamy!!

Patrick's wife posted the shots on her Instagram page late Monday night -- in a clear attempt to hype up this week's release of SI's annual bikini edition.

In one image, Britt can be seen rockin' a cowboy hat while in a barely-there red two-piece. In another, the 28-year-old mother of two donned a similar red 'fit -- capped off with a big smile. A third image shows the Chiefs star's boo in a body of water while wearing a tiny fuchsia bathing suit.

An OnlyFans model claims she's responsible for a cool new portal in New York City -- which lets you see people across the world -- shut down ... all 'cause she showed off the goods.

Ava Louise took credit for the pause handed down by Portals Organization -- the European company behind this nifty art installation in the city ... which streams a 24/7 live feed lets you see folks in different cities far, far away. In this instance, the portal connected to Dublin.

Of course, we can't have nice things ... which is where AL enters the chat. She was one of many who started displaying inappropriate content to the Irish ... including her boobs.

Indeed, video is going around that shows her flashing her breasts to the folks on the other side -- just one of several different stunts people have pulled -- and now ... it appears the portal is shut down for the time being, which Ava says is all her doing.

Kyle Richards in a literal face-to-face showdown with a rat ... all on video -- yeah, this is gonna be good!!!

Better than any Nat Geo special ... Kyle recorded the whole encounter as she suddenly spotted the rat chilling by her side-view mirror, staring her down while she's sitting in the driver's seat. You can feel her stress immediately as she starts shrieking and panicking.

At one point, she even knocks on the car window, hoping to get the attention of a guy walking by for help -- but no luck.

Much like space ... no one can hear your screams in Bev Hills. 😂

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid's passion for one another was on full display at Taylor Swift's Paris concert over the weekend – and their little love sesh was caught on video.

Check out the new footage posted to TikTok ... Brad and Gigi were hanging out with Taylor's NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in a suite at the pop star's sold-out Sunday show at the Paris La Défense Arena.

As they were grooving to one of Taylor's tunes, Brad suddenly turned to Gigi, pulled her close and gave her a huge lip smacker. The lovebirds then held hands for a bit before Gigi started clapping for Taylor. All the while Travis was fixated on Taylor onstage, waving his arms in the air.

Stormy Daniels was so concerned bullets would rain down on her at the Trump trial last week that she wore a bulletproof vest to the NYC courthouse ... this according to her attorney.

Stormy's lawyer, Clark Brewster, sat down with CNN Monday night to discuss the testimony his porn star client gave from the witness stand at the Trump hush money trial in Manhattan.

During the interview, Brewster revealed Stormy had "a lot of fear" about "the security coming into New York."

Steve Buscemi was captured on video casually walking on the street moments before he was randomly sucker punched by a hulking assailant in NYC.

On Monday, CBS News published footage of the actor strolling down Third Avenue in Manhattan last Wednesday as he was fidgeting with his cell phone.

Suddenly, Buscemi peered up at a passerby and seemingly said something to the woman. Then he proceeded across the street, where -- off-camera -- he was punched in the head by his attacker for no apparent reason.

Sylvester Stallone is about to score a massive payday after putting his watch collection up for auction, because one of the timepieces could fetch a literal king's ransom.

As you might have heard, the 'Rocky' star is selling 11 watches from his personal collection through Sotheby's next month ... and one crown jewel, in particular, has a watch expert going bonkers 'cause it's incredibly rare (and damn expensive).

YouTube personality Nico Leonard van der Horst -- who knows all things watches -- tells TMZ ... he simply can't believe Sly is parting with his ultra-rare Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.

Kelly Clarkson is getting honest about her physical transformation ... admitting she used a weight loss drug to help shed pounds -- something she'd kinda tip-toed around until now.

The singer got candid about her health journey during Monday's episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where Whoopi Goldberg shared her experience with weight loss medication ... and for which Kelly chimed in with her own experience.

Kelly told Whoopi and her audience that she hadn't planned on sharing this side of her life ... but admitted she too was prescribed a weight loss med after troubling bloodwork.

Donald Trump's rant about the "wonderful" Hannibal Lecter isn't sitting well with one of the guys who helped make "The Silence of the Lambs," and he's taking a bite out of DT's rhetoric.

Edward Saxon -- part of the Oscar-winning trio that produced the film -- tells TMZ ... he has a pretty good idea why Trump might be so eager to split some fava beans and a nice Chianti with old Hannibal the Cannibal.

He says, "My guess is, Letcer feels like a kindred spirit. Part of it may be aspirational in that Lecter is brilliant and is able to see into people’s motivations and control them."

Magic Johnson claims he has no idea who the Lakers' next head coach will be ... but he definitely knows who it WON'T be -- Magic Johnson -- 'cause the Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports those days are long gone.

The Purple and Gold are currently coach-less after parting ways with Darvin Ham following his second season at the helm ... and when we caught up with the legend last week, he didn't want to speculate on who could fill the seat he briefly held three decades back.

"I couldn't tell ya," Magic said when asked about the vacancy in Beverly Hills. "It's up to the Lakers and Jeanie [Buss] and Rob Pelinka. I hope they get a good one, though."
