Wrestling Star Daffney Unger Died from Apparent Gunshot Wound to Chest

Published

Former wrestling star Daffney Unger died from an apparent gunshot wound to the chest ... according to a police report obtained by TMZ.

As we reported, Daffney was found dead Thursday after she appeared on her IG Live the night before in what appeared to be a suicidal state, stating ... "Do you guys not understand that I am all alone? Do you not understand that?" And then she said, "Remember, my brain goes to Boston"

Police went to Unger's home in Norcross, GA Thursday for a welfare check. According to the police report, they were met by Daffney's mom, Jean. They knocked at the door but there was no answer, so they left without trying to gain entry.

They came back a second time a few hours later, and this time they saw Daffney's car parked near the apartment. A maintenance man gave cops a key but it didn't unlock the deadbolt. So, the fire department was called and they broke open the door and found Daffney's body on her bed ... a gunshot wound to her chest and a gun within reach.

The medical examiner has yet to determine the official cause and manner of death.

Daffney was battling mental health issues for weeks before her death and had urged others who were in the same predicament to get help.

The 46-year-old wrestled in the WCW and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

TIME TO FIGHT A REAL BOXER

Tommy Fury is sick of Jake Paul using his name for cred in the boxing world ... he's ready to take on the YouTube star, and says he'll make short work of it.

Tommy was leaving L.A. Friday for his home back in the UK ... and made it clear to our photog he was annoyed his name was used by Jake to promote his fight against Tyron Woodley.

Jake's not even a real boxer -- so says Tommy -- because he's only fighting MMA opponents. BTW ... Tommy honed in on Woodley's punch that sent Jake into the ropes.

"GROW SOME BULLOCKS!"

Tommy makes it clear ... Jake's never gonna be a real competitor -- at least against him -- so might as well get it over with now.  Fury knows the fight would draw a huge audience, and that means $$$$$$$$$$$$$. And, that's why Tommy calls it a "win-win."

As for predictions ... lights out within 3 minutes.

There's no doubt Jake would accept the challenge. It could draw a record-breaking audience on Pay-Per-View, although it's a little weird for someone like Tommy -- who's on track in the world of boxing -- to actually get in the ring with the likes of Paul.

Stay tuned ...

Kanye West Drake Can't Beat This ... Working on Homeware Line?!?

Published | Updated

Kanye West looks to be channeling his inner Martha Stewart -- on the heels of huge music success, he's taking a crucial step toward launching his own line ... of homeware products.

Say whaaat? Yep, according to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ye's company, Mascotte Holdings, Inc., filed a trademark application to slap the name "Kanye West" on a slew of home line products.

Unclear if his quest to legally change his name to "Ye" will affect this new venture ... but some of the products that will bear his name, in some fashion, include shower curtains, textile wall hangings, towels, placemats and blankets. Lots of blankets.

The docs specify Ye's company wants to crank out bed blankets, throw blankets, golf blankets ... using cashmere, fleece and silk.

Kanye famously designed his Hidden Hills home with Kim Kardashian ... a project that took several years and was eventually featured in Architectural Digest.

It should be noted ... Kim appeared to be heading down this very same road. Kim's company filed trademark docs last year to lock up "KKW Home." Her application included a lot of the same products as her estranged husband's -- towels, shower curtains/liners, linens, drapery, comforters and yes ... throw blankets.

Whether they're getting back together or not ... one thing's for sure -- these two are on a quest to conquer the consumer world.

Kanye's trademark application comes on the heels of crushing it on Apple Music with his 10th studio album, "Donda." #CantStopWontStop.

David Spade I Keep My Comedy Super Bland Now ... 'Cause of Cancel Culture

Published

David Spade says his stage name might as well be Marlon Blando ... because he keeps his standup comedy super vanilla for fear of the cancel culture mob.

We got David at LAX and our photog asked him about Mike Richards' downfall at "Jeopardy!" ... and if David stays awake at night worrying about jokes he told back in the day.

David says he does indeed worry about his old standup sets, crossing his fingers that his jokes don't unleash the mob.

The way David sees it ... audiences these days don't want comics shaking the tree, so he follows the playbook and plays it safe ... but he says there's collateral damage -- it's just not that funny anymore.

As for Mike, David says the whole thing just unraveled on him when he went from "Jeopardy!" executive producer to Alex Trebek replacement.

David says there's always someone looking to take people down when they move up the ladder, and everyone's got some dirt or skeletons in the closest if folks look hard enough.

It's a fascinating conversation ... and David tells us why he's a fan of edgy comedy.

Darren Till Gunning To Be UFC's 1st 3-Div. Champ ... 170, 185, 205 lbs.

Published | Updated

Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes have held UFC titles in 2 divisions ... but a 3-division champ -- that's never been done -- at least not yet.

That's exactly what 28-year-old UFC star Darren Till tells TMZ Sports he's trying to do.

"For me, I’m chasing something totally different. I want to be great. I'm on a path to greatness and I'm a top contender. I want to be a champion in two divisions, maybe three. I know it sounds like I’m dreaming, but I’ve got to dream. That’s me."

18-3 Till, the #9-ranked UFC Middleweight (185 lbs.), has wins over big-name opponents like Kelvin Gastelum, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone and Stephen Thompson.

DT has a big fight this weekend against #5-ranked Derek Brunson. The winner, with an impressive performance, could find themselves in prime position for a title fight against Israel Adesanya or Robert Whittaker (they're likely fighting in early 2022).

That's 1 division ... but there'd still be 2 left to conquer, Welterweight (170 lbs.) and Light Heavyweight (205 lbs.). A 35 pound difference is HUGE ... but Till, who's 6'0" tall, believes he can shed the pounds.

"I believe [I can do it]. I know I can do one last hoorah at 170 [lbs.] against the champ Kamaru Usman, and 205, but who knows. I’ve always dreamed of being a two-weight division world champion in the UFC."

"I know three is a stretch and I know I need to rack up a lot of wins but I'm a young kid dreaming."

PLANS ON PERFECT FINISH

In fact, Darren used to fight at welterweight ... but dropping the lbs. was brutal.

But, he thinks he can make the weight ... and when it comes to the actual fighting, Till doesn't think there are many people more dangerous in the Octagon.

The 1st step towards ruling 3 divisions starts this Saturday at UFC Fight Night.

Ana Montana I'm Beefing Up My Security ... After IG Model's Death

Published

Ana Montana says she's taking extra precautions in the wake of another IG model's shocking death ... including beefing up her personal security.

We got Ana leaving Toast in Los Angeles and asked if she's doing anything differently safety-wise in reaction to Miss Mercedes Morr's recent death, which cops in Texas say is an apparent murder-suicide.

Ana says she's thinking about adding muscle and she's being extra cautious about where and when she posts on social media, because she thinks Morr might have had a stalker.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It's interesting ... Ana says lots of IG models and influencers are talking about Morr's death, and it seems like it's been a wake-up call to some folks.

Ana tells us she's warning other influencers to be extra careful about giving away too much information about their personal lives in their profiles ... and she says it's not smart to tag locations while they're still physically there.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Ana's also got a message for her followers, and it sounds like she's dealt with some creepy fans before.

Bottom line from Ana ... social media influencers and models need to watch their backs!!!

Kaley Cuoco Files For Divorce After 3 Years of Marriage

Published
UPDATE

3:12 PM PT -- Kaley just filed for divorce ... according to online court records.

Kaley Cuoco and her husband are breaking up after only 3 years of marriage ... and they say it's because they're going in opposite directions in life.

The actress and her hubby, Karl Cook, announced the split Friday in a joint statement to TMZ, saying ... "Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions."

The former couple adds ... "There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary. We have made this decision together through an immense amount of respect and consideration for one another."

As we reported ... Kaley and Karl tied the knot back in the summer of 2018, getting hitched at a horse stable in San Diego. They met at a horse show in 2016 and started dating, and by 2017 Karl popped the question.

Kaley and Karl did not have any children, and this was her second marriage. She was previously married to professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting, and they didn't have children either.

LeBron James Hangs Out With Elton John ... Vacation Mode in Italy

Published | Updated

LeBron James was having a nice meal with his wife on a romantic getaway to Italy when someone came up to their table to say hello ... and it was none other than Elton John!!!

The Los Angeles Lakers stud and 'Space Jam 2' star was enjoying the best Italian food money can buy while on vacation in Nerano with his wife, Savannah, when the Rocketman sauntered over to their table to exchange pleasantries.

LeBron's been with the Lakers for three years so he knows Hollywood is a small town ... and it seems he's finding out the same several time zones away in Italy.

LeBron and his entourage looked pretty interested in whatever Elton had to say ... and then they went back to their pasta and vino.

No word if Elton was giving a 'Space Jam 2' movie review.

Kim Kardashian West Not Listening to 'CLB' ... Viral Pic is a Phony

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian West's loyalty remains with Kanye West, and she's NOT listening to Drake's new album ... despite what a now viral photo might suggest.

Drizzy's highly-anticipated "Certified Lover Boy" dropped Friday, and it didn't take long for a photo claiming to have been ripped from KKW's Instagram story to flood social media. The screengrab showed Kim was listening to the song "Fair Trade" from the album, featuring Travis Scott with the volume turned up.

Our Kardashian sources tell us the post is fake, she was never listening to the album, and stands strongly behind Kanye and "Donda."

As for why the volume turned up on the phony post should be noted -- shortly after Kanye dropped his album, "Donda," earlier this week, Kim posted a series of her favorite tracks on her IG story. Eagle-eyed fans noticed Kim was apparently listening with the volume off.

However, our sources tell us Kim wasn't listening to the album in realtime when she posted the tracks -- in fact, she was on a Zoom for law school when she posted. We're told she'd had "Donda" for months, and was just excited to share some of the songs.

Of course, "Certified Lover Boy" didn't drop without some apparent jabs at Ye ... one track, titled "7AM on Bridle Path" -- the street where Drake allegedly lives -- he raps, "Give that address to your driver, make it your destination. ’Stead of just a post out of desperation.”

The line is almost certainly in reference to Kanye posting about Drake's home address after Drake called West "burnt out" in a track with Trippie Redd.

We'll see if Kanye retaliates, but he's at least got a strong ally in Kim on his side.

Post Malone Thanks French Firefighters Who Battled Wildfires

Published | Updated

Post Malone is saying "merci" to a group of firefighters in France ... thanking them for battling blazes that threatened the vineyard where his wine is made.

Sources close to Post Malone tell TMZ ... he was having dinner at Ultimate Provence in the South of France this week when he met some local firefighters who helped save the vineyard property from the fires.

We're told Posty thanked the firefighters for all of their hard and brave work ... shaking hands and posing for pictures in the restaurant.

The fires blazed in the South of France last month, causing thousands of people to flee their homes and hotels, and the fast-moving fires raced towards famous vineyards.

Post Malone's wine company, Maison No. 9, was in the line of fire ... until firefighters got the blaze under control.

The fires were the worst in France since 2003, and thanks to some recent rain, things are looking on the up and up.

Johnny Bench I Tested Positive For COVID-19 ... Will Miss Hall of Fame Ceremony

Published

Johnny Bench says he's tested positive for the coronavirus and will not be able to attend the upcoming National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The Cincinnati Reds legend announced Friday on social media he was battling the virus despite being vaccinated.

73-year-old Johnny, a Hall of Famer himself, says he's bummed to miss out on seeing the latest Hall of Fame class being inducted into Cooperstown.

The Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday in New York ... and Johnny sounds like he was looking forward to welcoming the Class of 2020, which includes Derek Jeter, Marvin Miller, Ted Simmons and Larry Walker.

Johnny says he's glad he got inoculated because his bout with the virus could have been much worse otherwise ... he says his doctor told him he would have been hospitalized if not for getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

'Qanon Shaman' Pleads Guilty To Felony ... Agrees To Up To 51 Months In Prison

Published

One of the most infamous faces of the Capitol insurrection -- the bare-chested "shaman" wearing horns and face paint -- could serve hard time for the riot ... he just pleaded guilty to a felony.

Jacob Chansley, who many know as the "QAnon Shaman," pled guilty Friday to obstructing an official proceeding before Congress ... according to legal docs, obtained by TMZ.

According to the plea deal, Chansley agreed to accept a recommended sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison. Sentencing is set for Nov. 17 and in the meantime, he's requesting to be released from jail while he awaits his fate.

As we reported ... Chansley was arrested a few days after the Jan. 6 riot, on charges of knowingly entering/remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, violent entry, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Prosecutors claim he called the FBI and copped to being the man wearing Viking garb roaming the Capital with a spear and American flag.

He's also the same guy who reportedly complained about not being able to eat in federal custody as a result of a lack of organic food options in line with his strict diet.

Dog the Bounty Hunter A Married Man Again!!! First Look at CO Ceremony

Published | Updated

Dog Chapman is a married man again -- after marrying Francie Frane Thursday night -- and we've got some of the first images from the intimate ceremony.

The nuptials went down in Colorado Springs at an estate called The Pinery At The Hill. In photos and video, obtained by TMZ, you can see the 68-year-old reality star kiss his new bride in front of family and loved ones inside the venue.

Dog seemed relaxed, at one point, stepping outside to smoke a cigarette and have a glass of wine while the party went on around him.

Dog had somewhat jokingly said awhile back, he didn't expect the venue would be quite as expensive as it was, but he seemed to have shed that concern on his wedding night. He also posed with a fan outside the wedding.

MR. AND MRS. CHAPMAN

TMZ broke the story ... Dog's 2 daughters, Cecily and Bonnie Chapman, were not invited to the ceremony. They believe it was because they supported the BLM movement.

Dog denied that was why they were persona non grata, but in an ET interview, Dog dug a hole for himself by talking about having used the n-word in the past, saying when he was in prison he got a pass from "the brothers" to use the word.

That all said, Dog has now embarked on a new chapter ... this, of course, following the death of Beth, who succumbed to cancer back in 2019.
