Break a leg, Freedom 250 performers ... but keep an eye on the sky, too -- because it seems the stage is already coming apart.

Video is now circulating online that shows a dance troupe spinning around the stage while singers belt out a jazzy tune from back in the day ... and then a piece of the stage comes crashing down from above.

The falling panel nearly lands on top of a couple of dancers, who only barely move out of the way in the nick time.

How's this for patriotism ahead of the big 250th birthday ... a HOA in a San Diego area neighborhood is warning homeowners to remove their American flags or get dinged with fees ... but two households are holding firm.

Chris and Amy Cook, and Terri Collins are the California homeowners who are fighting back against their HOA's flag ban ... and they joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and told us why they won't take the stars and stripes down.

It's truly incredible ... the HOA's position is the American flag represents "a political or affiliative view which degrades the common area" ... and the homeowners tell us it's baffling.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce won't be jetting off on a honeymoon-style getaway after getting married ... because they have more wedding plans on the horizon ... TMZ has learned they'll be celebrating an NFL star's upcoming nuptials.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor and Travis are expected to attend New York Giants wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster's wedding to Laura Kruk on July 11 at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Orange County, California.

We're told the guest list is stacked with NFL stars ... including Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, Isiah Pacheco, Kendrick Bourne, George Karlaftis, Tyquan Thornton, and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner.

Mama June's daughter Pumpkin's OnlyFans account wasn't the reason her Fanboy Expo booth was canceled ... the issue was the business that purchased the space ... TMZ has learned.

David Heynen, promoter of the Knoxville, TN event, tells TMZ Fanboy Expo has been a family-friendly convention since 2012 and prohibits vendors from selling or promoting adult industry businesses or products.

Heynen says the booth was purchased under the name "Knoxville Bistro," but organizers received a complaint after a local gentleman's club promoted Pumpkin's appearance at the expo on social media.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are staying tight-lipped about their wedding ... but we're piecing the puzzle together for you.

With rumors running rampant, it can be tricky to keep up with what's real and what's not, so we've rounded up everything you need to know about the upcoming nuptials.

Keep reading for the latest details on the wedding of the century!

Madison Square Garden's biggest delivery isn't coming in on a truck ... it's Mama Kelce, who just rolled up after flying into town.

Donna Kelce has officially arrived in New York ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's massive wedding celebration. The mother of the groom landed Thursday morning ... flashing a smile as she made her way through the airport, but staying mum on the big day.

TMZ has learned Donna wasted no time getting to where the action is ... we're told one of Taylor's drivers picked Donna up ... then drove her straight to the Garden.

Chris Brown was leaving very little to the imagination during his live show in Minneapolis ... he called a girl on stage and started simulating very steamy sex with her ... and it's all on video.

CB was thrusting, humping and grinding on the fan while she was on all fours on a mattress on stage, for an arousing rousing rendition of "Take You Down."

She seemed to be enjoying herself, because she was backing it up and twerking on him ... and Chris couldn't help but cop a feel.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to various charities across America ahead of their NYC nuptials this weekend ... and we know where the money is going.

The happy couple scattered some of their spare change across 20 organizations between New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Kansas City, Cleveland, Rhode Island, and even Taylor Swift's hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania.

Taylor and Travis donated $2 million to the music education nonprofit Education Through Music ... their CEO Janice Wineman tells us.

Janice says the money will be put to good work, helping Education Through Music expand its reach to underserved children across New York City, hire more teachers, and provide instruments to children in need.

Justin Bieber may be headed to one of the biggest stages in sports ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's in talks to perform at halftime of the FIFA World Cup final.

FIFA World Cup sources tell TMZ ... FIFA officials are discussing bringing Justin aboard an already stacked lineup featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS for the July 19 spectacle at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Bringing the Biebs into the fold would make sense for FIFA.

Justin and Hailey Bieber were front and center at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Inglewood, CA just a few weeks ago ... and Justin even surprised VIP guests with an intimate backstage performance of "Yukon."

Michael Eloshway -- a star on the hit show "90 Day Fiancé" -- is asking a judge to throw out his conviction on child pornography charges ... claiming his lawyer screwed up his case.

The former reality star -- who is currently serving a 10-year sentence -- filed documents earlier this week asking a district court to vacate his convictions and sentence because his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance.

He says his lawyer should've had a forensic digital expert look at the digital evidence law enforcement collected from his computer.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum Peter Thomas is set to start filming a new reality show following his release from prison, TMZ has learned. 

In new court docs obtained by TMZ, Peter asked the judge presiding over his criminal case about unpaid employment taxes and said he had been approached about a new reality show about rebuilding his life since leaving prison in February. 

He explained he is well-known from his days on 'RHOA' and that he has a large following on social media and as a public speaker. He said he has been using his platform to inform the public of the importance of paying their taxes. 

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce apparently don't have a "no exes at the wedding" rule ... because Harry Styles got the invite ... even though he had to shake it off.

According to a new report from Variety ... the pair invited the British pop star to their mega event this weekend in New York City ... but Harry won't be there.

The outlet says Harry is too busy on his "Together, Together" tour to swing by the wedding festivities ... he's scheduled to play shows in London at Wembley Stadium this weekend with special guest Shania Twain.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding just got a very cool delivery ... air conditioning reinforcements rolled into Madison Square Garden Thursday ahead of the big day.

TMZ cameras spotted multiple industrial AC units being delivered to MSG ahead of the star-studded wedding festivities ... the latest sign organizers aren't leaving anything to chance as temperatures soar.

Funny enough, the deliveries come as Mayor Zohran Mamdani is urging New Yorkers to keep their thermostats at 78 degrees during the heat wave.

But sources familiar with MSG's air-conditioning system tell TMZ ... that's simply not an option inside the arena.

George Kittle has touched down for one of the biggest weekends of his NFL buddy's life ... the San Francisco 49ers star was spotted in NYC ahead of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding festivities ... and he's representing for all the NFL tight ends.

The NFL star and his wife, Claire, were photographed strolling through Manhattan on Thursday ... and as you can see, Kittle kept it casual in a camo hat, shorts, and a Greg Olsen T-shirt -- a nod to his fellow "Tight End University" co-founder.

The sighting comes after TMZ obtained a photo of the Kittles at Nashville International Airport carrying what appeared to be his blue suit in bag.

Kittle's made it clear he's wearing a blue suit to the wedding ... but it's scorching hot in the Big Apple, so he's enjoying some comfier clothing for as long as he can.

David Hearn is blasting the grand jury indictment that led to a felony charge against him after his Reflecting Pool arrest ... he says he's innocent and "these charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American."

The former Olympian's legal team tells TMZ ... "This indictment reflects the Administration’s effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover."

As we reported ... Hearn was indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge of destruction of federal property worth $1,000 or more.

The case is being prosecuted by Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia ... she's adamant Hearn defiled the monument when he allegedly ripped a piece of liner out of the Pool.

Hearn was arrested for the alleged vandalization a couple weeks ago. The 67-year-old was held at the Park Police facility for about five hours before he was released that same day.

Since then, the Olympian has held his stance he did not destroy, break, or peel off any portion of the Reflecting Pool.

Milania Giudice doesn't seem to be sweating her current legal drama ... but she's sure trying to make things hot with her latest thirst traps -- and fiery new red hair!

MG posted a series of smoking snaps in a little black bikini ... lounging poolside without a care in the world -- with the caption, "Redemption Season."

It would sure seem like Milania is referring to her recent arrest for alleged assault ... which all stemmed from her older sister, Gabriella, calling the police after Milania was allegedly acting erratically.
