In front of thousands, Ritter calmly told the crowd to open space and assist her, then added a little holiday improv, urging someone to get the woman "Twinkies or sugar or Christmas gumdrops or pieces of gingerbread houses" to help her. Ritter also called out, "Are you okay?," checking on her from the stage.

Cena locked horns with Gunther for his final match ever in the ring at Main Event in Washington D.C. on Saturday night.

Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente aren't sipping cocoa and warming by the fire this holiday season ... they're enjoying the sun and surf off the coast of Florida.

The happy couple hopped on jet skis and carved up the clear water near their home in Surfside, FL ... life jackets and sunglasses on as they whipped around the area.

Bündchen showed off those long, supermodel legs of hers ... strengthened by all that jiu jitsu she's practiced with her beau of more than 2 years.

Alix Earle's fans aren't playing with Braxton Berrios -- while the NFLer is seemingly trying to take a light approach about their recent split, the social media star's supporters are bashing him.

Here's the deal ... Berrios posted to Instagram Saturday for the first time since reports of the breakup came out last week -- sharing photos of himself walking by himself and with his fellow athletes. He captioned the post, "What did I miss?" ... a tongue-in-cheek wisecrack about all the media attention surrounding his relationship.

BB might be trying to play off the breakup ... but, social media ain't letting him -- because the comment section is flooded with a bunch of haters giving him the business.

Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson stans can relax ... the two clearly didn't break up -- because Megan shared a clip that showed her getting down on her man!

In the next shot, Klay caves ... and, he's feeling great about it -- dancing through a massive walk-in closet with the threads on while Michael Jackson's hit "You Rock My World" plays over it.

The video ends with Meg -- just wearing a tiny pair of white shorts -- bending over and putting it on Klay ... leaving both of them laughing.

Ray J says he's boned up on RICO and even chatted with an A.I. bot … and that’s what led him to the conclusion Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are a couple of racketeers.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ray J doubles down on his racketeering claims against Kim and Kris ... laying out why he believes the racketeer label fits.

For starters, Ray J says Kim and Kris conspired with Vivid to "defraud the public with their fake lawsuit" ahead of the infamous sex tape release.

In the docs, filed by attorney Howard King, Ray J claims the Kardashians committed credit card fraud against his family by racking up a $850,000 bill.

He also claims Kim and Kris "defrauded" him into signing an agreement that featured a requirement barring further mention or public reference to the sex tape ... and he says they sent their lawyers to "extort" him after he answered questions about the sex tape in a June 2024 podcast.

Ray J says ... "To me, Kim and Kris have repeatedly engaged in a criminal enterprise and racketeering activity, violating RICO over and over again. I have no doubt about that."
