Pete Wentz Good Genes or Good Docs?!
Pete Wentz has been rockin' these good looks for years!
Here is a 27-year-old version of the talented musician showing off his red-hot highlights, while making a television appearance in New York City, back in 2006 (left). This was the same year Wentz and fellow members of Fall Out Boy were in the process of recording their third studio album, "Infinity on High".
And, 14 years later ... the talented musician (who celebrated his 41st birthday earlier this week) was last spotted showing off his slicked-back look at a Grammy event in Beverly Hills earlier this year (right).
Irresistible!
The question is...

London Cop Knocked Off of Her High Horse ... Thanks to Street Light
London Bridge isn't falling down -- but this London police officer definitely is after whacking her head into a street light ... leaving her trusty steed riderless.
This wild scene unfolded Saturday from across the pond, where people were putting on BLM protests decrying the death of George Floyd. Scotland Yard had their hands full managing things, so at one point ... they trotted out their boys and girls on horses to establish order.
That didn't go so well for one cop whose equine went full bronco and rode off into the night day ... galloping down the street ahead of all the others, leaving the officer face to metal with a traffic light fixture dangling above.
The female officer was knocked completely off the animal and landed hard on the ground, with the crowd in shock. She had a helmet on, but still ... ouch. Photos of the woman on the ground were also taken by those on the scene -- reports say she was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Poor police women knocked off her horse by law breaking thugs. Where is the outrage from you Major of London Khan - you should be held to account for inflaming lawlessness! pic.twitter.com/5h0W9oAbFS

Unclear what prompted the horse to freak out and jolt like that, but based on other video that showed protesters rolling bikes into them from a distance ... it's reasonable to assume it got spooked with all the chaos around it.
Is this a protest or a riot?

For a quick minute, this horse was on the loose and on the run, and it even appears it might've ran into a bystander as it ran down the street. People say this lady was trampled, but it looks like she was simply knocked over. Either way, super frightening situation.

Terrell Owens Leading Chants at BLM Protest ... 'We Want Justice!'

Exclusive
- 9.7K shares
Terrell Owens was at the front of a Black Lives Matter march in West Hollywood on Saturday leading the crowd in chants ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.
"What do we want? JUSTICE! When? NOW!!"
"Say her name. BREONNA TAYLOR!"
"Say his name. GEORGE FLOYD!"
Those were just some of the chants T.O. led as the group marched through WeHo. Some protesters held up black power fists, others carried signs.
The march started at Pan Pacific Park and went through Beverly Blvd. all the way to La Cienega Blvd.
There is a heavy police presence but so far, everything is peaceful, sources at the protests tell TMZ Sports.
No looting, no violence ... just passionate people making their voices heard with the help of an NFL Hall of Famer.
Owens has been very outspoken on social media -- encouraging NFL stars to speak out in support of Colin Kaepernick and others who took a knee.
Of course, earlier this week several NFL players demanded the league admit they bungled the handling of the kneeling protests -- and Friday afternoon Roger Goodell did just that saying, "We were wrong."

Indiana BLM Protest White Residents Go Guns Out ... Stare Down Peaceful March
An eerie scene during a BLM rally is going viral, because it looks like a scary throwback to the '60s -- a line of armed white residents trying to intimidate protesters.
This went down in Crown Point, Indiana ... where a group of mostly college students had just finished marching, and took a back alley bike path to get back to their cars. As they walked and made their way, earlier this week, they were greeted by a lineup of at least a dozen white men and women ... many brandishing guns, and all staring down the students.
Indiana is a licensed open carry state, so everything you're seeing here is legal. Still, it's pretty menacing -- you see the protesters walking by with their signs out, but not chanting or even speaking. The group of older adults along the fence were also dead silent as they eyeballed the BLM group.
At one point, the demonstrators came across a couple of cops who were standing toward the end of the line ... and watched as they passed. The protester who's on camera here with the sign is Cedric Caschetta, and he tells us it was actually police officers who suggested they take the bike path in order to avoid a longer and more rowdy route back to their vehicles.
He says the officers escorted them all the way through.
Cedric says he and the rest of his group made sure to keep calm in the situation, as he says he felt at least a couple of the armed residents were trying to get reactions out of them.
He also says he never feared for his safety after a full day of being on the front lines of the protest in downtown Crown Point.
Tough young'ns, no doubt ... and a stark reminder not everyone in the country's ready for change.

Justin & Hailey Bieber Camping Out!!! JB Speaks Out, Too
3:44 PM PT -- It would appear getting away from it all in Utah had caused an epiphany for Justin Bieber, who says he will use his platform to speak out against racial injustice ... this after acknowledging how much he's gained from black culture.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
JB took to IG Saturday with a powerful statement, writing ... "I am inspired by black culture. I have benefited off of black culture. my style, how I sing, dance, perform, and my fashion have all been influenced and inspired by black culture."
He went on to say, "I am committed to using my platform from this day forward to learn, to speak up about racial injustice and systemic oppression, and to identify ways to be a part of much needed change."
Justin and Hailey Bieber are doing camping right -- and by that, we mean hardly camping at all ... 'cause they got a recreational vehicle that takes the "rough" out of roughin' it.
The couple's roaming the Wild West in Utah and looking to pitch a tent as you'd expect a huge pop star to do it ... in a monster of a machine. Check out their sweet RV, complete with built-in canopy and some lawn chairs to boot.
Just imagine how tricked out it looks on the inside 👀
Anyway, Mr. and Mrs. Biebs exited their swag traveling digs at one point to take some pics in the great outdoors, with Hailey doing the modeling (naturally) and JB playing IG hubby.
It's interesting too ... Justin seems to have himself an old school camera, and not a fancy DSLR one either. Almost looks like a disposable ... which you don't see too much anymore. Neat!
We're told the area has horseback riding, in case they wanna saddle up. Then again, that RV seems pretty cushy.
Ah, nothing like unplugging to get away from it all -- in luxury, of course. The only way to enjoy Mother Nature at her finest!

Toronto PD probably saved this jackass' life ... he showed up in blackface for a protest against racism -- seriously -- and yes, protesters were furious about the spectacle.
The wild moment was captured on video Saturday during a demonstration in the city's Nathan Phillips Square. The white guy walked into the crowd completely decked out in black makeup on his face and hands.
We can't imagine it took long for people to turn on him, and even as police whisked him away ... pissed off protesters were still screaming at him.

People were reportedly barking threats at him and calling for the police the whole time he was trying to wade through the rally. Eventually, bicycle officers did step in and escort the guy away -- almost completely surrounding him to keep the angry crowd off of him.
Cops say the agitator was arrested for breaching the peace -- yeah, he did that and then some. Oh, the beatdown he might have caught.
Disgustingly ugly display that could've been much uglier ... for him.

George Floyd 2nd Memorial Held Near Birthplace ... Family, Friends Gather in NC
George Floyd's family members honored him Saturday during his second memorial service -- this one in his birth state of North Carolina.
The service was being held in Raeford, NC, and the family has said it will be a much more subdued ceremony than the one held Thursday in Minneapolis.
Still, George's kin delivered rousing speeches -- in tribute to him, and about the movement his tragic death has launched.
The public was allowed into the hall Saturday morning for a viewing of George's casket ... and hundreds of people waited in line to pay their respects.
However, the service itself will be more intimate with just family and close friends allowed inside. It's set to begin at noon PT.
George was born in Fayetteville, NC ... about 30 miles from where the service is being held.
He still has family members living in the area, including his sister, Bridgett Floyd. George's third and final memorial will take place Monday in Houston, where he lived for most of his life.

George Floyd Troops at White House ... Bracing For Massive DC Protest
President Trump is rallying troops around him, literally ... soldiers are lining parts of the White House perimeter as the largest George Floyd protest yet is about to begin.
More than 100,000 people are expected to rally in the National Mall Saturday to protest the killing of George Floyd, specifically, and police brutality in general. While there have been protesters near the White House for more than a week now ... it appears Trump's administration is preparing for the worst.

As it is, 8-foot high fencing was erected this week around most of the White House grounds' perimeter, and will reportedly remain there until at least the middle of next week.
Washington D.C. police have closed off several streets, allowing the immense groups of protesters to march by the landmarks of the Mall ... such as the Lincoln Memorial, The National Museum of African-American History, Lafayette Park and, of course, the White House.
Remember, last week the President ordered law enforcement to clear streets by opening fire on peaceful protesters with rubber bullets and pepper spray ... so he could get to St. John's Episcopal Church for a photo op.
The good news is ... there's little chance POTUS will be seeking photo ops during Saturday's huge protest.

Buffalo Cops Felony Assault Charges for Shoving Man
4:24 PM PT -- 6/10 During his news conference last week, Mayor Brown discussed both Gugino's case as well as the case of Myles Carter, a protester who was arrested earlier in the week. He referred to Carter as an "agitator." He was not talking about Gugino.
8:18 AM PT -- Buffalo PD officers Aron Torgalski and Robert McCabe are now facing felony charges. Erie County D.A., John J. Flynn, says the cops were both charged with 2nd-degree felony assault.
They've been released on their own recognizance.
8:02 AM PT -- The 2 officers involved in shoving Gugino will reportedly be charged with 2nd-degree assault. They're expected to be arraigned shortly.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown held a news conference discussing police action against protesters in his city ... including the 75-year-old man who was knocked down by Buffalo cops
6/4/2020
The Mayor said NY State Troopers had arrested one man he described as a "key and major instigator" of people who were looting and/or vandalizing.
He also addressed the police brutality against Martin Gugino by laying out the instructions Buffalo cops were given regarding dealing with protests.
Mayor Brown said officers were told to be careful and "protect our residents, protect peaceful protesters and use common sense." He said he would not call for the firing off the 2 officers involved in the Gugino incident, and wanted them to have due process.
As you know, Gugino was standing all by himself when he was shoved to the ground, and left bleeding from the head and ear.
As we reported, 57 other officers resigned from Buffalo's Emergency Response Team in solidarity with the 2 cops who were suspended for the incident.
Gugino remains hospitalized, but his attorney says he is "alert and oriented."

SF's Golden Gate Bridge Sounds Haunted with New 'Singing' Constant Howling w/ Wind
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge sounds like a nonstop Halloween attraction right about now -- because it keeps on howling anytime there's a breeze ... and it's freaking people out.
The iconic structure has been making A LOT of noise lately, and Twitter took notice Friday ... with Bay Area residents filming a drive/ride-through along the bike paths. Basically, there's a constant loud humming sound emanating throughout -- which can be heard for miles.

“Engineers designed new sides for the sidewalk to help with wind resistance but didn’t take into account the EXTREME sound it creates when wind passes through it. The bridge sings crazy songs now it’s so trippy. It hurts the ears and unbearable it’s that loud.” pic.twitter.com/GWdVia1GNS
No, it's not ghosts or spirits that have been conjured up from the waters below ... it's just the wind making contact with some fancy new devices local engineers just put in. They're new railing slats covering the edges of the bridge -- to help fight off wind resistance -- and when gusty air rolls through (which is pretty much always there) ... this is the end result.
THANK YOU!!!! Here’s the sound from Land’s End pic.twitter.com/JjEWy6zrlX

So, yeah ... the bridge is plagued by this eerie singing/siren calling for the time being. Doesn't look like city officials have addressed a fix for now -- but something tells us if enough people complain, they'll have to do something.
Move over, New York ... there's a new city that never sleeps.

Target Man Arrested for Driving into Store ... Planting Fake Explosives
Customers inside a Target store were sent running for their lives after a man intentionally drove his car into the retail giant, planted fake explosives and live streamed himself in the act.
It all went down in Hammond, Louisiana Friday where cops say Walter Allbritton III used his SUV to plow through the front doors of the store before crashing into a register. A man recording the crash immediately ran through the Target warning other customers to run and get out.
Allbritton went live on Facebook to record the crash and allegedly dropped a fake explosive device in the store once his vehicle stopped.
The incident triggered a massive police response and after arresting Allbritton, cops allegedly found fake explosive devices at multiple other scenes around the area.
He's been hit with a ton of charges including terrorism, attempted aggravated arson, aggravated assault with a vehicle and manufacturing and possession of a delayed action incendiary device.
Cops say one person suffered minor injuries in the crash.

President Trump Promotes Attack on George Floyd's Character
President Trump's attempt to embrace George Floyd is clearly BS when you see what he retweeted -- a claim from Candace Owens that Floyd is a symbol of black America's "broken culture."
The President showed strong support for the conservative talking head's disgusting beliefs with 2 retweets on Friday ... promoting a theory she spewed about George on Glenn Beck's radio show. Owens said, "The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me."
Their point is absolutely outrageous -- that just because George Floyd had previous trouble with the law, protesters shouldn't be chanting his name.
I don't care WHAT George Floyd did. The officer should have never treated him like that and killed him! But we still must ask: Is he a HERO? BLEXIT founder @RealCandaceO gave her thoughts: "The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me." pic.twitter.com/0Tm47x5Cc8
— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) June 4, 2020 @glennbeck
Beck and Owens quickly glossed over the fact accused murderer Derek Chauvin had pressed his kneed into Floyd's neck for nearly 9 minutes -- and almost 3 of those after Floyd was dead -- which is, of course, what millions of people around the world are actually protesting.
To say they're completely missing the point is a gross understatement.
Even more appalling is the fact the President stood in the Rose Garden on Friday and claimed George Floyd would be looking down and smiling because this was a "great day" for him and for America.
Dog whistle much, Mr. President?

McDonald's Employee Do You Want A High-Kick with That?!? ... Kills Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande Choreo
One McDonald's drive-thru employee made the wait for a Big Mac pretty entertaining for some customers when he unleashed a performance of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's smash single.
Someone in line was blasting "Rain on Me" in their car speakers loud enough for the employee to hear ... and he took full advantage of the moment. In the video, the drive-thru employee gives customers everything from leg kicks to spins and even a hair flip.
We're told the employee is Gavyn Brewster from the UK -- who also performs as Diana D -- so if Lady Gaga and Ariana are looking for a back-up dancer ... look no further.
"Rain on Me" has been massively successful, making it's debut at #1 on The Billboard Hot 100 last week ... and the official music video already has close to 90 million views.
As for the McDonald's employee ... there's nothing like a captive audience.

Sean Reed Shooting Father Fears Case Will Be Forgotten ... Don't Let Cops Off Hook

Exclusive
- 11.3K shares
Sean Reed's father is afraid his son's police-involved shooting death will be swept under the rug, and the officers who opened fire won't be held accountable.
Sean's pops, Jamie Reed, tells TMZ ... he is afraid his son's name is being overshadowed by all the attention surrounding George Floyd and the nationwide protests, and fears it could spell doom in his quest for justice.
Mr. Reed makes it clear he is NOT knocking the protests or outrage over Floyd's death. However, it's been more than a month since his son was gunned down in Indianapolis, while live streaming, and he's concerned Sean's case isn't getting the spotlight it deserves.
Jamie hopes people won't forget Sean was shot dead by Indy cops, because if attention on the case fades, it will be too easy for the officers involved to quietly get off the hook.
Sean's dad says his son's case helped kick-start the country's renewed focus on police brutality, and he sees it as a big reason why people are once again looking into alleged police brutality and corruption.
Sean's father hopes his son's legacy will be the reason for fundamental change in the Indianapolis Police Department, and other PDs across the country, and he's encouraged by the fact there are still protests and gatherings at the scene of Sean's death.
Sean's father says he's also repped by Ben Crump, the attorney for the Floyd family and Ahmaud Arbery's father, and vows they won't stop until they get justice.

Carole Baskin Don Lewis' Daughter Seeking Justice ... Over Allegedly Forged Will
-
Exclusive
- 24.5K shares
Carole Baskin's day of reckoning is coming after a sheriff determined the will of her ex-husband, Don Lewis, was a forgery -- at least that's what Don's daughter is hoping.
Donna Pettis tells TMZ ... the recent bombshell from Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister -- who claims he's certain Baskin forged Don's will to make it so she'd inherit his fortune if he went missing -- only confirms what she and her sisters already suspected way back in 1997.
Donna says the will was determined to be a fake by a professional back then, but Carole had her own analyst claimed the opposite and got the judge to sign off ... and Donna says her family didn't have the money or resources to fight her on it at the time.
She says since then, 4 other experts have evaluated the will and reached the same conclusion -- forgery -- but, because of the statute of limitations, there's nothing they can do. Or, is there?
Donna tells us she's been meeting with several lawyers in hopes of landing one willing to take on the high-profile case and finally get some justice for her dad.
She says she and her sisters are considering hiring 2 attorneys -- a criminal and a civil -- in order to get the ball rolling, but they're still weighing options.
The bottom line is ... Donna and her family plan to go after Baskin in whatever legal manner still possible, and they also want more action taken in investigating Lewis' death. He was declared legally dead in 2002.
Donna's not accusing Carole of killing her father, but she DOES think Carole knows more than she's ever let on and plans to get it out of her ... in a courtroom.
We have reached out to Baskin ... no word back so far.
