Looks like Samuel, Ben’s son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, was getting the royal treatment -- 'cause before their toy shopping spree, the father-son duo also made a pit stop at World Market.

Austin had the sold-out Allegiant Stadium crowd going nuts when they heard the glass shatter over the speakers ... and just like he's done in the past, he had a joyride on a four-wheeler as he made his way to the ring.

Except this time, Austin misjudged his turn around one of the corners of the ring ... and drove straight for the barricade in front of the fans.

While the man seems to be asking with what might be a bit of snark and amusement in his voice -- Congresswoman Mace loses it ... repeatedly saying this man is harassing her and telling him he could've gone to a dozen town halls last year.

Dr. Oz's granddaughter is doing fine after her medical scare in the White House last week, her mom says ... and, she says President Donald Trump did a great job keeping her kids calm.

While we were told he performed at the event, we've now obtained video of Bieber at the show ... and, though it doesn't appear to be an all-out performance, JB's clearly listening to one of his own tracks, bobbing his head to "What Do You Mean?"

Aubrey O'Day's proving she's a whole lot sweeter than Easter candy ... lookin' like a snack in some barely-there pink lingerie.

The singer-songwriter took to Instagram to share a series of pics from a Fashion Nova advertisement ... lying back on a couch and flashing a sultry stare for the camera.

From the full body shot, it's clear the clothes are doing almost nothing to cover O'Day's behind ... 'cause the side of her backside and her hips are out in the open for all to see.
