TMZ CHEATSHEET: THINGS FOR WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU'RE ALWAYS FREAKIN' TIRED

Olympian Sturla Holm Laegreid Admits Cheating on GF After Medaling ... 'I Made My Biggest Mistake!'

Published | Updated

Well, this is certainly an Olympics cheating scandal no one saw coming -- Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid won his first medal at the Milan-Cortina Winter Games -- and confessed to cheating on his girlfriend after one of the biggest accomplishments of his career!!

We're serious -- it happened after SHL won the bronze in the 20km individual biathlon on Tuesday ... when he opened up on his personal life.

Maxim Naumov Brings Parents’ Memory To Olympic Stage With Powerful Tribute

Published

Maxim Naumov turned his Olympic debut into a powerful tribute … honoring his late parents while competing on the biggest stage of his life.

The 24-year-old Team USA figure skater finally lived out the dream he once shared with his mom and dad -- stepping onto Olympic ice on Tuesday while carrying their memory with him every step of the way.

Naumov arrived at the Olympics with far more on his shoulders than just medals and scores nearly a year after losing his parents, Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova. They were among 67 people who lost their lives when a United States Army Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air with an American Airlines jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on January 29, 2025.

And he delivered.

Naumov skated with emotion and precision in his Olympic short program, posting a season-best 85.65 -- then brought a photo of his parents into the kiss-and-cry … the same picture of him stepping onto the ice as a baby that’s followed him throughout the season.

Those close to the skating world say the Olympics represented the ultimate shared goal for the Naumov family -- one Maxim never imagined reaching without his parents by his side.

After earning his Olympic spot at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Naumov made it clear that resilience has been his driving force through grief, pressure and doubt.

Fox News

Update

9 AM PT -- Kid Rock just posted a video on X denying reports he lip-synced his performance of "Bawitdaba" during the Turning Point USA Halftime Show. His deejay, Paradime, even flew out to rap the song with him live ... to prove they know the lyrics.

It looks like even Kid Rock had to go back and watch Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show ... because the country-rap-rock star delivered his critique of BB's performance on Fox News last night.

Rock told Laura Ingraham on "The Ingraham Angle" ... "Like most people, I didn't understand any of it. I saw there's a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff. And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one."

And while Rock admitted it wasn't his "cup of tea," he revealed he doesn't have any beef with BB. He's more upset with the NFL.

He clarified ... "I don't fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl, getting in front of a global audience. I fault the NFL for putting him in that position and Turning Point for having to come out and have an alternative for people to watch. You know, it's just -- poor kid."
