Damian Lillard's 2024-25 NBA season has come to a brutal end ... as the Milwaukee Bucks superstar will miss the rest of his team's playoff run after suffering a torn left Achilles.

The news broke Monday morning ... with ESPN saying an MRI revealed the extent of the ailment following the team's 129-103 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of their first-round matchup.

The injury occurred during the first quarter of the contest when Dame went to grab a rebound. After falling to the ground, he reached for the back of his ankle before getting up and being helped to the locker room.

Potential jurors in Diddy's federal trial are gonna get grilled on several subjects before they get picked ... and a questionnaire's hot topics include their taste in music, and their views on drugs, celebs and group sex.

With jury selection just a week away for Diddy's trial, his attorneys are submitting the 30 questions they want to put to the jury pool. Not shockingly, considering the charges, sex is raised several times.

For instance, "There may be evidence in this case about people engaging in sexual relations with multiple sexual partners. Would hearing about that type of evidence be difficult for you?"

Pastor T.D. Jakes suffering a heart attack during a November sermon was one of the dominoes that led to him taking on a reduced role at his megachurch.

Reps for Jakes tell TMZ ... the heart attack, emergency surgery and ensuing recovery are some of the reasons he's taking a step back from his role as pastor of The Potter's House of Dallas.

We're told Jakes spent a lot of time recovering from the heart issue, and it's affecting him to some degree.

Jessica Alba just keeps getting better with age.

The actress is celebrating her 44th birthday today and we're celebrating by looking back at some of her sexiest looks over the years.

There's some throwbacks ... but Jessica's still looking fine as ever in some of her more recent thirst traps.

Channing Tatum's gone IG-official with his new model girlfriend, Inka Williams ... and it was for the perfect moment -- his birthday!

The 25-year-old went all out on her IG Story, celebrating Channing’s 45th over the weekend with a collage of PDA-filled pics. She captioned it, “Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest, most gorgeous human ever!!!"

Aussie babe Inka wrapped up the caption with, "Merci for making life beautiful and fun," and threw in a little French flair with "JTM trop fort," which means "I love you a lot."

Kim Kardashian is extending one big middle finger to her alleged Paris robbers ... by wearing some flashy jewelry on her ankle after claiming she'd never wear bling again.

In a rare move from Kim, she flaunted some jewels in a series of Instagram photos from a recent getaway to Maui ... showing off four anklets filled with diamonds -- shortly before her accused attackers go on trial for robbing her.

Kim's making a statement here ... she's still standing strong after a harrowing ordeal in Paris nearly 10 years ago, when she was robbed of nearly $10 million in jewelry.

Preston Ordone, the "Okay Baby" viral star, has tragically died after a car crash -- and now, chaos is breaking out between his family and cops, with both sides clashing over a crucial detail in his death.

The 2-year-old died on April 24 after the 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck he was riding in with his parents, Katelynn and Jaelan, veered off the road and slammed into a tree, according to Louisiana State Police.

Katelynn and Jaelan survived the impact in St. Tammany Parish, north of New Orleans, with substantial injuries. Cops say they believe Preston wasn’t properly secured in his car seat, a claim strongly disputed by the boy's grandfather, Glen Norris.

Part of Diddy's defense involves his mental capacity to commit the crimes while he was, essentially, wasted -- he even has a doctor lined up to testify -- but the feds think it's a totally irrelevant point.

Prosecutors filed their opposition to this line of testimony, and in the docs they say Diddy wants to have the doctor -- who's a Columbia professor -- testify he had a "mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt."

So, what does that mean exactly?

Well, the detail of his alleged condition is redacted throughout the documents ... but, there are some clues, including a bit about Diddy's alleged drinking and drugging.

Puka Nacua's brother, Samson Nacua, has more than just the UFL investigation to worry about after he slapped a fan at Saturday's game -- St. Louis Police tell TMZ Sports they are currently looking into the matter.

A spokesperson says the department is aware of the video from the St. Louis Battlehawks game on Saturday ... which shows Samson, who plays for the Michigan Panthers, slapping a fan at The Dome at America's Center.

"We are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident and we are working to obtain video from The Dome at America's Center that may have captured what led up to the encounter," the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said.

Police body cam footage from Druski's October 2024 wacky arrest has surfaced on the internet ... and no, it's not a skit, although it may give you a few chuckles.

He got hauled off to jail, but had trouble fitting in the back of the cop car!!! 😩

The video unfolds with an Atlanta Police officer spelling out the situation for Druski after being spotted allegedly running a stop sign.

JoJo Siwa’s ex, Kath Ebbs, says their breakup came as a total shock ... but JoJo’s claiming it was exactly what she needed to do after leaving "Celebrity Big Brother."

In a tearful interview on the UK’s "This Morning" talk show, JoJo shared that the time spent alone on 'CBB' gave her the space to reflect, and it made her realize there were things in her relationship -- and other areas of her life -- she should never have accepted in the first place.

JoJo gave more details to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard ... saying that even though 'CBB' was only 3 weeks long, it felt like 4 years. Naturally, she was ready to fix what needed repairing as soon as she left -- and it seems Kath ended up bearing the brunt of that.

Shedeur Sanders would still be without an NFL home if it weren't for President Donald Trump's NFL draft temper tantrum -- at least that's what the White House press secretary joked on Monday ... saying, "The facts speak for themselves."

No. 45-47 was FURIOUS after Day 1 of the annual draft ... claiming anyone who passed on the former Colorado quarterback was "STUPID" not to take him, as his Hall of Famer pops did a great job raising him.

When Karoline Leavitt was asked about whether Trump's Truth Social outrage ultimately led to Sanders going No. 144 overall to the Cleveland Browns more than a day later, she said the proof is in the pudding.

Rapper Yung L.A. of "Ain't I" fame passed out while performing over the weekend -- and the only thing more scary was the fall he took afterward!!!

The weathered Atlanta rapper was live at the Elite Lounge in Greenwood, SC and appeared to be bursting with energy as the opening chords of his hit song "Futuristic Love" began to blare through the club. Yung L.A. then tried to pass the microphone to a woman standing onstage ... but he quickly nosedived to the floor, landing flat on his face.

Two men attempted to hold Yung L.A. before his body went limp and he sank to the floor. It didn't appear to be too serious ... both guys were cracking up laughing!!!

Kim Kardashian is finally seeing the wheels of justice turn in her robbery case ... Ten people are going on trial today, accused of sticking her up at gunpoint nine years ago in France.

Kim is expected to travel to Paris and testify May 13th. She's explained in horrifying detail how the robbers broke into her hotel suite, pushed her on the bed, tied her up with plastic cables, taped her hands, and then blindfolded her at gunpoint. She was put in the bathtub as the robbers made off with $10 million in jewels.

It was so traumatic, Kim told cops she thought she was going to be raped.

Taylor Swift’s drama with Blake Lively seems to be heating up -- and Travis Kelce’s riding hard for his girl, hitting unfollow on the actress' hubby Ryan Reynolds' IG.

When you search for Travis, his name’s nowhere to be found on Ryan's IG. Not sure when Travis smashed that unfollow button, but it’s pretty fresh -- and for what it’s worth, Ryan’s still following him.

FYI, Blake’s still got Taylor on her list, but not Travis. As for Taylor, she’s following literally no one at all.

For those of you who’ve had your share of speeding tickets, just imagine putting your pedal to the metal, only to have your car’s accelerator top out at -- or below! -- the speed limit.

A new measure under consideration in New York City could really clamp down on repeat speeders with accelerator-restrictor technology ... particularly focusing on speeders cited on surface streets and in school zones. The city could end up mandating the accelerator restrictors to force chronic speeders to involuntarily slow down.

The devices are part of a pilot program known as Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Some use GPS data and maps to determine the correct speed depending on your car’s location. Some makes and models already have this technology installed as of a year ago. Vehicles that do not currently have ISA would have to be modified to add the technology.
