Jamie Foxx Movie Shoot Continues with Stunt Double ... As Doctors Perform Slew of Tests

Published | Updated

As doctors perform a battery of tests on Jamie Foxx, producers of the movie he was shooting are clearly pivoting ... trying to figure out how to proceed in his absence.

Check out the pics from the set of "Back in Action" Thursday night ... where Jamie's stunt double, Travis Parker, was shooting a scene with Cameron Diaz.

TMZ broke the story ... Jamie's doctors still don't know what's at the root of a very serious medical emergency that landed him in the hospital Tuesday morning ... so serious family flew in from out of town to be with him.

Jamie will be in the hospital for at least a few more days, our sources say, and it's unclear when he'll be able to go back to work.

As we reported, we're told he has 8 shooting days left for the film, but production sources say they expect to wrap next week. Unclear how this information aligns.

Kylie Jenner Her Car Spotted At Timothee's ... Fueling Dating Rumors

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet are adding to rumors about their supposed romance ... because her car is in the driveway of his Bev Hills home!

The billionaire's black Range Rover SUV pulled up to Timothee's sprawling estate Thursday afternoon ... and it's sure to drive the internet into a frenzy.

Kylie wasn't sightseeing either ... her car pulled in from the road and drove straight up the winding driveway ... in other words, she knew exactly where she was going.

Dating rumors have swirled around Kylie and Timothee recently ... but there's been no official confirmation from either side about a relationship.

Kylie and Timothee were spotted chatting each other up at Paris Fashion Week in a video that's going viral online ... but this is the first time she's been photographed at his place.

As you know, Kylie has two kids with rapper Travis Scott, daughter Stormi and son Aire, and she's previously been in a long-term relationship with Tyga.

Timothee's no stranger to celeb couplings either ... he's been linked in the past to Eiza Gonzalez, Lily-Rose Depp and Lourdes Leon.

It'll be interesting to see if Kylie and Timothee are toying with folks ... or if this is the real deal.

Stay tuned ...

BOOT TO THE BALLS

Kane Brown needs better protection, and we don't mean bodyguards -- the guy took a shot to the nuts while performing, and had an odd reaction ... putting his John Hancock on the boot that took him out!!!

The country singer had a show Thursday night in Wichita for his "The Drunk or Dreaming Tour" ... and the crowd was certainly having fun -- maybe a little too much fun, which is where the rogue cowboy boot comes into play.

The video's pretty hilarious, unless you're Kane -- ironically, in the middle of "One Thing Right," the boot nails him right in the junk, making him stop to catch his breath. He goes to the floor to finish the song before flattening himself out.

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR SIGNING

Seemed like Kane was a good sport, though, because he later signed the offending boot and handed back to someone in the crowd. Unclear if he signed his name or just drew a middle finger on it, though.

The timing of the shoe couldn't be more perfect, BTW ... right after getting hit, he sings the lyrics, "I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time."

You can say that again -- feel better, Kane!

Kourtney Kardashian Turns Coachella Groupie ... For Travis' Blink-182 Reunion

Published

Kourtney Kardashian is in leathered-out super fan mode for her husband Travis Barker's remarkable reunion performance with Blink-182 at Coachella.

Kourt and Travis got on the road Thursday to head to Indio, California for the huge Musical Festival weekend ... and she made sure to flick it up and show support for her hubby ahead of his set.

While on the road, she posted a few photos from inside the trailer using the Coachella geotag, showing off her 'fit and giving fans a sneak peek behind-the-scenes.

Of course, she couldn't help but promote Poosh's party, which is an 'adult sleepaway camp' held during the festival weekend.

Kourt's looking like the ultimate rockstar groupie -- shades paired with a graphic tee and black leather jacket.

Most importantly, she posted a shot of Trav's practice drum kit, referencing the hot topic for all Blink fans -- how's he gonna play with his injured hand?!?

As we reported, Travis had surgery to repair his busted left ring finger a little over a month ago ... and that forced the band to postpone dates on their first tour together in 9 years.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Everyone was shocked when the pop-punk rockers were a last-minute addition to Coachella's Friday night lineup. As you can see, frontman Mark Hoppus is amped for their set inside the Sahara tent.

The band formed back in 1992 ... and over 3 decades later, fans are still lining up to see 'em rock out.

The only remaining question is whether Kourt will be front-row or backstage.

Cash App Founder Alleged Killer Arrested Before ... For Illegal Knife & More

Published | Updated
UPDATE

8:26 AM PT -- According to charging docs, Momeni had a 5 1/4" butterfly knife in the center console of his car. He told cops it belonged to him.

The man charged with fatally stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee has a history of brushes with the law, and was once arrested for illegal possession of a knife, according to court docs obtained by TMZ.

Nima Momeni was busted Thursday for the April 4 murder of Lee, which cops say happened after they got into a heated argument while driving in Momeni’s car in San Francisco. Cops say the men knew each other, although no motive's been disclosed yet.

Momeni, the owner of a Tech start-up company called ExpandIT, was previously arrested in 2011 for allegedly carrying a switchblade, again while driving in his car.

Momeni ended up pleading no contest to driving on a suspended license in exchange for a dismissal of the knife charge.

In a separate incident from 2004, Momeni was arrested for DUI.

In the less violent/criminal department ... Momeni's also, apparently, a liar.

On his LinkedIn page, he claims he attended UC Berkeley, but a University spokesperson denies that, asserting the alleged killer never attended the prestigious school.

Momeni is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon for Lee's murder.

DeMar DeRozan United Offers To Fly Daughter Diar To Heat Game ... 'Flight's On Us'

Published

If DeMar DeRozan will allow the Bulls' not-so-secret weapon, a.k.a. his daughter, Diar to miss school on Friday, the screeching 9-year-old free throw disruptor has a free ride to Miami ... courtesy of United Airlines.

Diar became an overnight sensation following Wednesday night's game ... where she repeatedly screamed while the Raptors players shot free throws, which appears to have worked!

Toronto missed half of their free throws -- going 18 of 36 from the charity stripe -- in the elimination game that they lost 109-105. The Raptors normally shoot nearly 80 percent ... meaning they left about 10 points (and a win) on the table.

The Raptors are now home.

As for Chicago, in order to advance, the Bulls must beat the Heat tonight in Miami ... and United say they have a seat aboard one of their jets for Diar.

"The flight's on us. What do you say, @DeMar_DeRozan? We’d love to take Diar’s talents to South Beach," the airline tweeted.

It makes sense. The Bulls play at the United Center ... the arena inked a 20-year extension for the naming rights in 2013.

Although Diar has become a fan-favorite in Chicago, DeMar said she won't attend Friday night's win-or-go-home game, explaining she has to get back to school.

But, with United's gesture in play now ... maybe the 6x All-Star will have a change of heart before tipoff.

Ne-Yo On Taylor Swift Breakups Are Good For Writing Songs ... She'll Use It For Next Hit

Published | Updated

Ne-Yo says Taylor Swift has all the inspiration to write her next hit song now that she's broken up with her longtime boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

We got the "So Sick" singer at LAX and asked him about the silver linings to all the emotions involved in a romantic split ... and Ne-Yo told us some of his best songs are directly tied to heartache.

Ne-Yo says Taylor won't have to suffer through the breakup as much as a regular person ... because talented songwriters like them can take bad energy and turn it into something positive ... like hit records.

As Swifties already know, Taylor's got tons of songs about Joe and past breakups ... and Ne-Yo predicts she's gonna use this split for more tracks.

The timeline of Taylor and Joe's split remains unclear, but the news broke during a break in her Eras Tour ... and Ne-Yo makes his pitch to join her onstage to sing about lost love.

'Top Gun' Star Anthony Edwards Lists $6.5M Beach House ... I Feel the Need to Sell!!!

Published | Updated

Anthony Edwards, who famously played Goose in "Top Gun" and Dr. Mark Greene on "ER," is looking to unload his beautiful O.C. beach house ... with an emphasis on "beach" 'cause the new owner will literally be on it.

Maverick's former flyguy (RIP. 😢) has listed his Dana Point, CA vacation home for $6.5 mil, and for that kinda dough ... it comes with some breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.

Anthony's place is just a few steps from the sand, and sits on a lot that's more than 10K square feet ... making it one of the sweetest vacation homes in the area. It's well-secured, too, with privacy gates.

The crib was originally home to the family of oil tycoon Edward Doheny, dating back to the 19th century when the development of Dana Point was just taking off.

The Spanish Colonial style is also a great model of what the original homes in that area looked like.

Look, nothing's gonna bring back Goose, but chillin' on his beachfront patio would be the next best thing ... if ya got a few mil to burn!

Justin Alexander from Compass holds the listing.

Fun fact: Anthony was the first actor seen on camera in the long-running (15 seasons) hit TV drama, "ER." Take that, Clooney!

Lolo Jones Angel Reese Isn't LSU's G.O.A.T. ... Shaq Is 'High!'

Published | Updated

Lolo Jones has some strong (albeit playful) words for Shaquille O'Neal after the NBA legend called Angel Reese LSU's G.O.A.T. ... telling TMZ Sports Diesel had to be "high" when he made the statement.

Jones -- who starred for LSU's track team before competing in BOTH the Summer and Winter Olympics -- got wind of O'Neal referring to Reese as the greatest athlete to ever come out of Baton Rouge on his 'Big Podcast' this week, and she vehemently disagreed with her fellow Tigers alum.

In fact, she seemed to think Shaq wasn't in his right mind since undergoing surgery last month.

"Shaq knew what he was doing," Jones said. "Shaq's just bored. He's coming off hip surgery. He's chilling at home. I think Shaq, honestly, is high on some pain medicines. The list is so big with LSU."

Jones -- a decorated hurdler and bobsledder -- feels Shaq was trying to stir the pot by saying Reese is LSU's top-ranked athlete ... knowing that it makes for good "water cooler talk."

"So, for Shaq to have the audacity to say 'she's the best ever,'" Jones continued, "I'm like, 'Bro, chill on the pain meds,' because that list is arduous. So long."

Jones -- who won three NCAA titles and earned 11 All-American honors as an LSU Tiger -- said she wouldn't put herself at the top of the list of the university's G.O.A.T. athletes.

But, don't get it twisted -- Lolo told us she isn't disrespecting Reese ... saying, "We're not hating on Angel. We love to see it. She's cooking. Let her keep cooking. But I'm telling you, LSU track and field is the powerhouse for that university."

As for if Jones will compete anytime soon ... she tells us she's on the Tom Brady retirement plan and taking it day by day.

Brittney Griner I'll Fight To Bring Home Americans ... Held Captive In Russia

Published | Updated

It's been four months since Brittney Griner was released from a Russian penal camp, but the WNBA star hasn't forgotten about the Americans left behind, vowing to continue to fight for the release of U.S. citizens being held captive in Russia.

32-year-old Griner made a surprise cameo at Al Sharpton's National Action Network's Women's Empowerment Luncheon in NYC on Thursday, where she addressed the crowd.

“I want to continue to fight to bring home every American detained overseas. That means everything to me,” Griner said, flanked by her wife Cherelle Griner and Sharpton.

HOME SWEET HOME

Of course, Brittney was sentenced to 9 years behind Russian bars after being found guilty on a drug charge. After 10 months spent in a jail cell and penal colony, she returned home on December 8 in a high-profile prisoner exchange.

After months of negotiations, the U.S. agreed to send Viktor Bout, known as the "Merchant of Death," serving a lengthy prison sentence in the States, back to Russia as part of a trade.

At the time of her release, the government was criticized for not getting back U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, who has been locked up in Russia since late December 2018.

On Thursday, Griner made it clear she hasn't forgotten about Whelan and several other Americans who are still overseas.

Brittney's not alone. U.N. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield gave the keynote speech and talked about the importance of bringing back "Every single American who's being unjustly detained."

Texas Justice Man Gets 70 Years for Spitting at Cops!!!

Published | Updated

Everything really is bigger in Texas ... including prison sentences, because a man is potentially going to spend the rest of his life behind bars for spitting at police officers during his arrest.

A Lubbock jury handed down the headline-grabbing punishment Wednesday for 36-year-old Larry Pearson ... who was found guilty of 2 counts of harassment of a public servant.

Prosecutors say Pearson spit at 2 Lubbock PD officers who arrested him in May 2022 on domestic violence charges after a woman told cops Pearson hit her in the face.

According to prosecutors, Pearson was upset the alleged victim was not arrested instead, and started kicking at the doors in the cop car where he was being held ... and he spit at the officers when they opened the car door.

Prosecutors say the spitting didn't end there ... claiming Pearson kept hocking loogies upon arrival at the Lubbock County Detention Center.

During the trial's closing arguments, prosecutor Jessica Gorman asked jurors to consider a sentence that would "send a message" to not only Pearson, but also society ... and he ended up getting 70 years.

Pearson also had prior convictions for family violence and aggravated robbery, and, as a result, the minimum sentence the jury could impose was 25 years.

The guy's no angel, for sure, but there's a huge gap between 25 and 70 years! And, for a crime like spitting ... that seems extreme. Even in Texas.

Meanwhile, Pearson's defense attorney Jim Shaw pushed for a lighter sentence, telling jurors this case was about a "simple misdemeanor" that spiraled "out of control."

MY CHILD IS TRAUMATIZED

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Tamra Judge is emotionally recounting a gut-wrenching situation -- one that's far too common -- a man armed with a weapon entering her daughter's school.

Tamra shed tears Thursday as she told her IG followers about the armed suspect that was at her daughter Sophia's high school. She says the students were forced to barricade themselves in their classrooms, and were equipped with hammers in case things got worse.

Luckily, Tamra says they caught the individual, and it doesn't sound like anyone was physically harmed ... but everyone is traumatized after the close call, including her daughter ... who she says doesn't want to set foot on campus.

She also shared the heart-dropping texts she received from 17-year-old Sophia ... who filled in her mom, in real-time, about what was going down. As Tamra puts it, "The text no parent wants to get."

Clearly terrifying times in America, and Tamra -- like so many other parents -- is calling for an end to the unnecessary bloodshed.

Lady Gaga Goes to Washington!!! Prez Puts Her on Arts Committee

Published

Lady Gaga is getting some political experience, because President Biden is tapping her to co-chair a committee devoted to the arts.

The Prez appointed her Thursday to be Co-Chair of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. She's joining some other big names listed as members, including Jennifer Garner, Shonda Rhimes, and George Clooney ... according to Deadline.

Gaga's fellow co-chair will be producer Bruce Cohen.

Now, this won't get her closer to EGOT status, but it's a glowing honor nonetheless. For those unaware, the PCAH was created in 1982 and its purpose was to address policy questions regarding arts and humanities, and jumpstart partnerships in line with its beliefs.

On top of that, the committee also took time to recognize others who demonstrate excellence in the field -- focusing on things like cultural exchange and education. It was disbanded during the Trump administration, but Biden announced its revival last year.

You'll recall, Gaga had the honor of performing the national anthem during his inauguration ... so he might've had her in mind long before today's announcement -- which officially takes her from the "House of Gucci" to the White House.

Not only does Gaga live for the applause, now she might get some in Washington! No easy task, these days.

BMX Rider Kriss Kyle Insane Bike Tricks 2,000 Ft. In Air ... Suspended From Balloon

Published

BMX rider Kriss Kyle is back at it again ... performing a series of jaw-dropping bike tricks while suspended 2,000 feet in the air by a hot air balloon.

Check out the insane video ... you see the moments before Kyle, whose been on the BMX scene since he was 10, climbs into the hot air balloon as everyone wishes him well as he embarks on the death-defying journey.

Kriss came dangerously close to the edge of the floating skatepark multiple times  ... but the dare-devil stuck his landing each time and even found time to admire the breathtaking scenery of the Cotswolds in the UK.

And, while he may have been wearing a parachute, this was still very dangerous.

Kyle, with major help from Red Bull, pulled off the project as part of a new documentary he's working on called "Don't Look Down" ... which examines how the stunt started as a daydream and became a reality.

Kriss has earned a reputation for pushing the envelope on the BMX landscape since his first major competition at the Transgression Skate Park Jam in 2008.

Simply put, Kyle has been a pioneer in the industry, and he's taken the sport (BMX) to new heights (very literally) by pulling off wild stunts for his fans.
