Travis Scott Song Debut Sets Fortnite Record ... Stormi Steals the Show!!!

Published | Updated

Travis Scott went live to join in with the fans enjoying his virtual concert on Fortnite, but had to cut it short ... because his adorable daughter, Stormi, demanded more of his attention.

The rapper debuted his new track, "The Scotts," Thursday night within the insanely popular video game, and although it attracted an all-time record audience of 12.3 MILLION concurrent players ... one little 2-year-old was the star of the evening.

Travis, Stormi and mama Kylie Jenner were all online to watch the historic musical/gaming performance ... but the toddler seemed to have other interests.

Check it out -- once Travis finds the remote, thanks to whoever Josh is, Stormi briefly greets her dad's large audience ... then wants to watch a movie. Of course, 2-year-olds usually get what they want.

Travis Scott Fortnite
GOIN' VIRTUAL

As for Travis' new hit song ... there will be encore presentations on Fortnite until Sunday. All players who are signed up can enjoy the virtual performance ... which is all there is until artists can start doing real concerts again.

'Crazy Rich Asians' Henry Golding I'm Not Giving Up on Stella ... After Dog Park Attack

Published | Updated

Henry Golding's not giving up on fostering a pit bull named Stella ... even after she bit another dog ... but seems he's warier of where they take their walks.

The "Crazy Rich Asians" star took Stella for a stroll in the sun Thursday at a park in Santa Monica. No other dogs around, just Stella and her foster dad ... who's heeding lockdown guidelines and wearing a face covering.

Henry had Stella on a short leash this time, one week after she attacked a smaller dog.

We broke the story ... Golding took Stella to Pan Pacific Park in L.A. last week, where she bit a smaller pup that was not on a leash, by the way. We're told Henry's dog picked up the other dog by the neck, causing a large gash that required 6 staples.

The actor is offering to pay the vet bills for the smaller dog, which is expected to make a full recovery.

It's pretty commendable that Henry didn't take Stella back to the shelter after the incident -- and is instead choosing to continue giving her a foster home.

Juice WRLD Fam Drops 'Righteous' Details Drug Use, Downward Spiral

Published

Juice WRLD's family has dropped a posthumous track from him, and its lyrics sadly foreshadow his eventual demise.

The late rapper's family dropped "Righteous" Thursday night and the track goes into extreme detail about his heavy drug use and the state of his mental health. Juice WRLD was never one to hold back his feelings, so it's no surprise the new song is so brutally honest.

His opening lyrics are proof Juice was more than ready to open up: "I know that the truth is hard to digest (yeah). Five or six pills in my right hand (yeah). Codeine runneth over on my nightstand. Taking medicine to fix all of the damage. My anxiety the size of a planet (oh). Holes in my skull over time. My heart's over ice (whoa) ... we may die this evening. Coughing, wheezing, bleeding."

Juice also talked about feeling like he was drowning with "my demons 10 feet under me. Inhale, exhale, but I can't breathe. Too busy drinking codeine, doing high speeds ... take a pill for the thrill, have a relapse."

This isn't the first time Juice has appeared prophetic. In his 2018 track "Legend," Juice had lyrics that included, "What's the 27 club? We ain't making it past 21."

TMZ broke the story ... Juice WRLD died in early December at Chicago's Midway Airport. As we first reported ... the 21-year-old rapper died from an accidental overdose of oxycodone. Witnesses said they saw him swallow a bunch of pills in an attempt to hide them from the feds. He ended up suffering a fatal seizure.

Pod of Dolphins Glow in the Dark ... It's Called SCIENCE!!!

Published | Updated
Dolphins 4/22/20
SHINING SEALIFE

These SoCal dolphins are lit, y'all -- quite literally, and while it might look out of this world ... it's just simple bioluminescence.

The incredible nature scene played out Wednesday just after sunset in Newport Beach ... but the footage, captured by photographer Patrick Coyne, didn't start spreading like fire until it was posted Thursday night by a popular whale watching company.

Coyne, who also recently shot bioluminescent waves crashing the shore, said it was incredibly challenging capturing the dolphin vid ... trying to spot what you're looking for in pitch black conditions. It almost didn't happen.

As he put it, "We were out for a few hours and on our final stretch back we finally had 2 dolphins pop up to start the incredible glowing show."

So, what makes them glow? Well, obviously it's caused by algae in the water around the dolphins. Duh!!! (Yeah, we Googled).

According to National Geographic, bioluminescent phytoplankton is what gives the surf its electric blue glow. The bioluminescence could also be a form of self-defense for the algae.

Whatever. All we know is it looks REALLY cool!!!

Dak Prescott Older Brother Jace ... Dead At 31

Published | Updated

Tragic news for Dak Prescott and his family ... the quarterback's older brother, Jace Prescott, died suddenly at 31 years old on Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys announced.

No cause of death was given.

Dak had been super close with Jace, the oldest of the Prescott brothers ... and had even just filmed a national Campbell's Chunky Soup commercial with him in 2019.

At the time, Dak said Jace and his other older brother, Tad, meant the world to him ... especially after he tragically lost his mom to cancer in 2013.

"My brothers have always been champions," Dak said. "Them along with my mom ... So now, not having my mom and just having them two, they mean even more."

Dak added, "Family is everything. It's what keeps me grounded when everything else is changing around me I know that's one thing that's always consistent and certain. I'm thankful for them."

Jace was a former football player himself ... he played offensive live for Northwestern State in Louisiana from 2008 to 2010, starting 11 games in his final season.

"The loss of Tad and Dak's brother is devastating," the Cowboys said in a statement during Thursday's NFL draft.

Added team owner Jerry Jones, "We are so saddened that Dak has lost his brother. We want to help him get through this time."

Both Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy also shared their condolences for the QB after the draft.

RIP

CeeDee Lamb GF Explains Draft Party Phone Snatch ... His Agent Was Calling!!!

Published

CeeDee Lamb's GF says she was NOT trying to snoop through the WR's phone during his draft party Thursday ... claiming she was just simply answering a call for the new Dallas Cowboy!!

If you missed it ... Crymson Rose was ALL OVER the Internet after cameras caught 21-year-old CeeDee snatching his phone from her hands after she had grabbed it and looked at the screen.

Don't miss the bonus side-eye from mom!

Some interpreted the scene as Rose trying to get a peek at Lamb's private info while he was distracted by the Cowboys ... but Crymson set the record straight just minutes after the viral moment.

"His agent was FACETIMING him while he was on the phone with the Cowboys," she said. "I was doing the GF thing gonna answer it for him sheesh."

CeeDee backed up her story ... saying of the incident himself, "y’all really gotta chill wasn’t even like dat."

The two even proved there was no drama at the house ... sharing a kiss on social media afterward!!

It's unclear how long the couple has been dating ... but seems there's no trouble in paradise at all. Which is good for CeeDee ... because have you seen her!?!?

Joe Burrow Draft Shirt Was Custom Made By Nike ... To Honor Ohio

Published | Updated

Like the shirt Joe Burrow was wearing when got the call from the Cincinnati Bengals to be the #1 pick in the NFL Draft!?

Great! Too bad you won't be able to buy one of your own!

Turns out, Burrow has an endorsement deal with Nike -- and the people at the Swoosh wanted to hook him up with something special to honor his home state of Ohio.

The result was a long-sleeved white shirt with the number 740 inside an outline of the state of Ohio.

740 is the area code for Athens, Ohio ... where he's from.

Of course, Burrow has made sure to put a spotlight on his hometown throughout his worldwide popularity ... and even helped raise more than $500k for the Athens County Food Pantry after a powerful Heisman Trophy acceptance speech.

We reached out to Nike to find out when proud Ohioans can cop Burrow's swag ... and we were told straight-up, "It's not going to retail."

Unclear if the shirt was made specifically for the NFL Draft -- or just for Joe to rock in general.

But, with the Draft happening during the quarantine -- Joe couldn't get to a tailor to get a traditional custom suit for his big moment, so he went casual instead.

We've got a bunch of Ohio guys in our office who are losing their minds over the shirt ... hoping the folks at Nike change their minds.

Hey, if it makes dollars it makes sense, right?

Joe Burrow Bengals Draft QB With First Pick ... In 2020 NFL Draft

Published
UPDATE

5:40 PM PT -- Cincy is wasting no time welcoming the Burrow era -- the Bengals team shop is already selling jerseys of their newest quarterback.

UPDATE

On top of that, the Bengals are selling Burrow autographed helmets, footballs and a bunch of other memorabilia!!

UPDATE
UPDATE

5:25 PM PT -- The Ohio boy is coming home -- the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Heisman winner Joe Burrow with the first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft!!

UPDATE

There's no surprise here ... the LSU champ is fresh off arguably the best college football season EVER (Brett Favre even said so!) ... and was at the top of every mock draft.

UPDATE

Seriously, peep these numbers -- 5,671 yards, 65 total TDs, and a 76% completion percentage. Sheeeesh.

UPDATE

The Bengals were so set on their guy, they refused to listen to trade offers from other teams looking to snag Burrow.

UPDATE

It's a great story ... Burrow grew up in The Plains, OH was a high school superstar with the Athens HS Bulldogs -- less than 3 hours from his new home in the Queen City.

UPDATE

It'll be interesting to see if Joey changes his stance on Skyline Chili -- a Cincinnati staple -- which he's previously referred to as "trash."

UPDATE

BTW -- the draft is looking a lot different this year ... with all the biggest prospects virtually tuning in to hear their names called.

UPDATE

Congrats on becoming a millionaire, Joe!!

There can only be one Tiger King and it sure as hell ain't Netflix star Joe Exotic ... so says LSU coach Ed Orgeron, who's deemed Joe Burrow the REAL owner of that title.

Of course, Joe is one of the greatest LSU Tigers in school history despite only 2 years with the program ... and he broke a bunch of school records during his run in Baton Rouge.

Coach O agrees ... 'cause when he was randomly asked about Netflix's mega-hit docuseries prior to Thursday's draft ... he made sure to mention his former superstar QB is the only guy worthy of the title.

"None of that 'Tiger King' business," Orgeron told ESPN. "There's only one Tiger King and he's fixin' to get drafted first tonight!!!"

Well, as it turns out Coach O's TRUE Tiger King is about to remain a tiger ... 'cause the Cincinnati Bengals are CERTAINLY drafting the Ohio kid with the #1 overall pick in a little bit. It's a matter of WHEN not IF.
