Track & Field's full of stars like Gabby Thomas and Sydney McLaughlin ... but there may be no better story than part-time Walmart employee and hurdler Dylan Beard, who's manning the meat slicer while chasing his dream!

TMZ Sports spoke to 26-year-old Beard just days before the Grand Slam Track event in Miami -- going down May 2-4 in South Florida -- and his story is awesome.

"I started working at Walmart in October 2023 just to get funds to be able to compete on a professional level in Track and Field. Funds for traveling, treatments, massages, and pretty much everything like that," Beard told us, explaining his motivation behind taking the gig.

Catch the clip, because Luis doesn't hold back. He calls Mario a cold-blooded killer and breaks it down, saying he had no business being in a job where he was around young boys in the first place.

We caught up with the "Jackass" star Tuesday afternoon ... and, we asked him the question consuming the internet right now -- could 100 men defeat a full-grown gorilla in combat ... or would the primate go ape on the legion of guys?

According to the lawsuit, Dixon claimed, on social media, Joe flew a 16-year-old girl across state lines for sex and posted the allegation along with a picture of Joe, Diddy, and DJ Khaled.

It was a lil’ achy breaky moment for Elizabeth Hurley as her new boo Billy Ray Cyrus dropped her off at the airport -- sending her off with a goodbye kiss that had all the country feels.

The couple looked like any other pair saying their goodbyes -- except they were serving serious A-list energy, with Brit beauty Liz deep in her adopted country era, rocking a suede coat and boots.

Beyoncé's first Cowboy Carter concert turned into a WWE event after her performance ended ... because a bunch of her fans started brawling in the VIP lounge.

Teddi also told right there and then that life couldn’t be better -- she had a sweet treat in hand, was at an amazing event, and had her bestie by her side.

Selma Blair is glowing ... and she didn’t miss a beat giving an MS update -- even if it meant throwing a cheeky jab at TMZ.

We asked Selma what’s been behind her health glow-up this past year, and she joked that dodging TMZ cameras might be the secret -- of course, saying it all in good fun!

NBC's documentary about Menudo and the group's ties to Jose Menendez is doing serious damage to the Menudo brand, and now their promoter wants the network to fork over at least half a billion dollars!

Darrin McGillis is suing over "Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed" -- which has been streaming on Peacock since 2023 -- and he's particularly upset about what he calls "scandalous, false, and defamatory labels of 'sexual,' 'molestation,' 'gay,' and ultimately 'homosexual' behaviors of past members of the Menudo group."

The documentary features former member Roy Rosselló Diaz alleging Jose -- father of Erik and Lyle Menendez -- molested him back in the '80s. However, in his lawsuit, McGillis tries to discredit Roy ... claiming he became a heavy drug user after leaving the group, and was bitter about several homosexual relationships he'd had with older men.
