5:05 PM PT -- A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard tells TMZ they received a call for a woman who went overboard at 7 PM EST ... the boat is currently 22 miles off the coast of Cuba and the USCG has an airplane and several boats on the way. We're told they're also reviewing footage from the incident.

A woman has gone overboard from a cruise ship loaded up with EDM acts like Skrillex, G-Eazy, Diplo and Major Lazer -- and their fans.

We're told the woman fell from the Mad Decent Boat Party, which took off Wednesday from Miami bound for Cozumel. Our source says 3 rescue boats have been deployed to start searching for the victim somewhere in the Caribbean.

Passengers just received a message from the captain saying no one has been found yet.

It's unclear if the woman jumped or fell.

Gerald Green allegedly punched a security guard in the eye during his rampage at a Miami condo complex before being restrained and sent to a local hospital ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports, Green showed up at the front desk of his condo with bloody hands. He allegedly asked the clerk to call an ambulance before walking out to the valet area where he collapsed.

Green then got back up, walked inside and when a male security guard tried stopping him from getting back into his condo, he punched the guy in the face.

For the record, officials tell us there was "no evidence to support the punch" ... meaning the alleged victim had no visible injuries and there was no footage available to back up the claim.

Cops say the security guard did NOT want to press charges at the time. However, it doesn't mean the person won't pursue a lawsuit against Green at a later time.

According to the report, Green was "very loud and verbally combative." As we previously reported, witnesses say he was screaming in the lobby. Green was eventually restrained, placed in handcuffs and taken to the hospital.

Carol Doda -- who rose to super fame as an OG stripper with huge breasts -- died Monday in San Francisco. She was 78.

Doda became extremely popular in the 1960s for her topless dance routines and her 44-inch silicone breasts, which became known as "The new Twin Peaks of San Francisco."

After retiring, Doda opened a lingerie shop in San Francisco called "Carol Doda's Champagne and Lace Lingerie Boutique."

Without Doda, we might not have celebs like Lady Gaga, Channing Tatum or Amber Rose ... who all worked the pole before they became famous.

Doda died from lung and kidney failure.

A former college basketball star -- who was drafted by the Knicks in 2001 -- was found dead in an SUV in Brooklyn under a pile of trash bags ... officials say.

The victim has been identified as Michael Wright -- who played for the Arizona Wildcats from 1998 to 2001 ... and was part of the 2001 team that made it to the NCAA Tournament finals.

Officials say Wright's body was found in the backseat of a Lexus SUV with a head wound -- and it appears he may have taken his own life.

Family members have told media they do not suspect foul play.

Another frightening shark attack in Australia -- this time the victim is a 20-year-old pro surfer who is now in a medically induced coma after a bull shark took a chunk out of his thigh.

Sam Morgan was surfing near Lighthouse Beach in New South Wales Monday evening when the 10-foot shark decided to strike ... leaving a large wound on his left thigh.

Morgan reportedly got himself back to shore -- where someone called emergency personnel and he was rushed to a nearby hospital to undergo emergency surgery. He's listed in stable condition and remains in a medically induced coma while he recovers.

It's the 11th shark attack in the region THIS YEAR -- two of which were fatal.

So, how does a supermodel feel when she finds out the new hot guy she's dating knocked up his famous ex-girlfriend?

Well, for Gisele ... she claims she seriously thought about running away from Tom Brady when that exact situation happened in 2006 ... claiming it was a "challenging thing" ... but ultimately decided to give him a chance.

Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett pled guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence -- stemming from a Halloween arrest for driving while intoxicated ... and apologized for his behavior in court.

20-year-old Barrett was arrested on October 31st at a police checkpoint near the OSU campus -- cops say his B.A.C. was .099 ... well above the .02 limit for people under the legal drinking age.

But Barrett struck a plea deal with prosecutors -- in which he pled guilty to the OVI charge, and in exchange a related charge (backing without safety) was dismissed.

As for his punishment, Barrett will NOT spend any time behind bars -- instead, his driver's license was suspended for 180 days and he must pay roughly $500 in fines and court costs.

During today's hearing, Barrett told the judge ... "I just wanted to apologize to my family for this embarrassment and also to the Ohio State football program and also Buckeye Nation."

He added, "I never wanted to hurt Ohio State for what it's done for me as a player and also as a person and I'm truly sorry for that."

Barrett was suspended from last week's game -- but will be back on the field when the Buckeyes take on Illinois on Saturday.

Caitlyn Jenner and Hope Solo both had a HELLUVA YEAR ... both nabbed hardware at Glamour Magazine's "Women Of The Year" awards in NYC -- but they took way different paths getting there.

While Caitlyn's been hailed as a hero for the way she handled her transition in the public eye -- Hope's grabbed publicity for almost all the wrong reasons: allegedly beating up her nephew and berating cops ... along with winning the Women's World Cup.

Clearly, Hope's solo efforts didn't carry as much weight as her team achievements.

NY Yankees star CC Sabathia says he desperately tried to cover up his alcoholism for years -- boozing hard in secret hotel binges -- until finally realizing he needed to address the problem.

"In 2012, I kind of came to the realization I was an alcoholic," Sabathia said on ABC's "Good Morning America" ... "and I was kind of battling it without any help."

"I would go a couple, you know, two, three months at a time sober, and then I would just relapse, and, you know, go on these weekends when I thought nobody was paying attention, and I would get in a hotel room and drink out of the minibar, pretty much everything."

Sabathia says he feels relief now that everyone knows about his issue -- "I can just, you know, start the healing process and take steps forward to get myself better."

The 35-year-old recently completed a stint in rehab -- and says he's proud of the support he's received from Yankees stars like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez ... as well as stars from other teams.

"Torii Hunter, Dave ... 'Big Papi's' been calling me a lot. And, you know, I got to thank those guys. I'm truly blessed to be able to have friends like that."

Melissa Mathison, the woman who coined the phrase, "E.T. phone home" ... has died. She was 65 years old.

Mathison wrote the screenplay for the 1982 classic and was married to Harrison Ford for more than 20 years. Her brother confirmed she died Wednesday in L.A. after an illness, according to reports.

She and Ford had two children together ... Malcolm and Georgia.

Melissa also wrote screenplays for blockbusters like "The Black Stallion," "The Indian In The Cupboard," and "The Escape Artist."

She will likely have one more hit with 'E.T.' director Steven Spielberg. She wrote the highly anticipated family fantasy "The BFG" ... which comes out next year.

Matt Barnes lost his patience with an Instagram troll Wednesday morning -- and issued the guy a crazy challenge, "You wanna talk sh*t say it to my face when you see me."

The NBA star was pissed off over a guy who was trashing him in the comments section of a pic Matt had posted earlier in the day.

But instead of letting trolls be trolls, Barnes decided to lash out with a message of his own ... captured by our friends at BSO.

"But seein you wanna talk sh*t say it to my face when you see me. Everyone is mike Tyson on social media."

Questionable move from a guy who was being investigated for getting into a REAL LIFE fight with another NBA employee recently ... but it's clear, Matt doesn't care.

Soccer superstar Karim Benzema -- who was connected to Rihanna over the summer -- was arrested in France Wednesday morning as part of investigation into a sex tape blackmail case involving another player.

Jon Stewart's had enough of retirement after just a few months of it -- he's struck a sweet deal over at HBO, but you won't see him on TV ... not the way you used to, anyway.

Stewart signed a 4 year production deal with HBO Now and HBO Go ... the premium cable's digital and mobile platforms. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Stewart will be creating short form content, but he's also giving HBO first shot at any future movie and TV projects.

We got Jon in D.C. back in September, and he sounded thrilled to have some down time. Break's over.

The tone of Leah Remini's feud with Scientology sounds a little different this morning ... as in, way less mention of Tom Cruise.

We got Leah outside the 'Howard Stern Show' in NYC, where she's been promoting her tell-all book "Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood & Scientology." In her "20/20" interview about the book ... Remini's run-ins with Cruise were a hot topic.

But watch what happened when our photog asked if she'd ever work with Cruise in the future.

It's pretty clear, Leah's backing down on all the Tom talk. His name only came up a couple of times during her Stern interview, and never in a negative way. She made one more stop in NYC today ... at "The View" and explained the shift in rhetoric.

Lisa Rinna is apologizing for her husband Harry Hamlin, stepping out with a giant Swastika across his chest ... but her excuse probably won't sit well with anyone who was offended.

Lisa and Harry dressed up as the Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious and his gf Nancy Spungen for the Casamigos Halloween bash, and as you can imagine ... Harry's getup pissed off a lot of people.

Lisa says they were just trying to be authentic ... recreating a classic 1978 pic of Sid and Nancy. She says they didn't mean to offend anybody. However, when we got them out Saturday night, Harry changed his shirt, but was hardly apologetic for the Swastika.

Interestingly, even the 1986 biopic "Sid and Nancy" avoided this kind of PR nightmare -- replacing the Nazi symbol with the Soviet hammer and sickle.

WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka has pled NOT GUILTY to murdering his girlfriend back in 1983 ... but says his mental health is so bad nowadays, he doesn't know what day it is.

72-year-old Snuka appeared in court in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania -- where he is accused of killing then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino during an altercation in her hotel room before a wrestling match.

Snuka pled not guilty to 3rd degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.

During the hearing, Snuka made some shocking claims -- including saying he never went to school and can't read or write English.

He also told the judge he suffers from early onset dementia and didn't know where he was today or what day it is.
