David Harbour was captured on video doing some "Stranger Things" in Encinitas, California over the weekend ... the actor appeared to take a man's hat and make a run for it.

The head-scratching incident appears to have gone down Saturday at a gastropub called Encinitas Ale House.

Here's what the video -- which we were only permitted to view -- shows ... David enters the joint and then -- a short time later -- runs outside, carrying a white cap in his hand. He then looks over his shoulder, yelling, "C'mon, dude, f****** get me."

Nick Reiner appeared noticeably different in the days leading up to the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner -- coming off as "drained" and "abnormal" ... according to gas station employees who say they’ve known him for years.

TMZ spoke with multiple employees at a Sinclair gas station in Brentwood, a spot they say the Reiner family frequented regularly.

One employee tells us they last saw Nick about two weeks ago, recalling he looked tired and was unusually standoffish.

At the time, Nick purchased a pack of Marlboro Lights, which employees say was routine for him. They add that he did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Britani Bateman's ex-husband, John Underwood, was arrested last week after authorities say he violated a protective order she has in place against him ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, John had his first felony appearance before the judge in Utah on Wednesday after he allegedly harassed Britani.

A viral video that appears to highlight radio DJs in Arkansas having sex in the control room -- unbeknownst to them, live on air -- is a total fake, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... a video clip circulating on social media shows a car radio tuned to Power 92.3 Jams in Little Rock ... and it sure sounds like the DJs are going at it on a hot mic. Naturally, the wild and hilarious situation -- which people assumed was legit -- spread like wildfire.

Turns out, those sharing it are the ones who got played ... 'cause Keith Liesmann, regional VP/market manager for the station's parent company Cumulus, tells TMZ ... "We are aware of a video circulating online and want to be absolutely clear: it is fabricated and untrue. Nothing depicted in the video occurred, and it has no connection to Power 92."

Former Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell is revisiting that wild onstage brawl at the band’s Massachusetts concert last year ... and he's saying he's sorry, admitting he should’ve handled himself way better.

Perry released a full statement addressing Boston -- where the brawl went down in September 2024 -- and the rest of the world, making it clear he’s remorseful about losing his temper and blowing up the show.

He explained Jane’s Addiction has been the center of his life for decades -- adding that the band, the music, the fans, and their impact on culture mean more to him than he could ever put into words.

Milana says she was brainstorming ways to help victims back in January when a light bulb went off ... she would offer her fans sexy photos of her body in exchange for relief donations ... starting at one photo for $69 -- a "funny number," she says.

Amaya Espinal is on the mend after a scary health emergency over the weekend ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Amaya was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital this past weekend after experiencing severe abdominal pain. We're told the situation escalated quickly, and she required emergency surgery earlier this week to address her symptoms.

Tara Reid's allegations of drugging aren't necessarily false, but right now cops say their investigation's hit a dead end ... and they don't have any evidence to support the claims.

The Rosemont Police Department in Illinois tells TMZ ... no new evidence in the case has come to light, and the case is now closed.

We're told doctors didn't take chemical tests when Tara was rushed to a Chicago-area hospital last month ... so, they won't know exactly what -- if anything -- was in Reid's system at the time.

TMZ has obtained concerning video of influencer Mary Magdalene weeks before she died ... showing her being carted away by law enforcement officers in Thailand as she yelled out in confusion.

You can see in the clip, Mary -- whose real name was Denise Jarvis -- seems unable to walk on her own and is lifted by Thai officers and loaded into a cart on November 21 near the popular Krabi walking street. She exclaims she doesn't know what's happening as multiple men push the cart. The video then shows her being walked through a building and finally, into what appears to be a hotel room so she can rest in bed. She also appears to be claiming she's "drugged."

A second video shows her explaining she had been left on the street all by herself ... and says this is the price she pays for being "popular." She says she loves "the idea of being popular," but being left all alone and unable to help herself is not worth it, and "traumatizing." She even suggests people get pets for companionship instead and "isolate yourself from society."

“Survivor” Season 48 contestant Eva Erickson narrowly dodged the gunman who opened fire at Brown University Saturday afternoon, but she says she's not overly worried about another shooting there.

Check out our interview -- the Ph.D. candidate says she feels "safe" while hunkered down at her off-campus residence in Providence, Rhode Island because she assumes the assailant is "long gone," reasoning ... "Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place." On the other hand, she notes the idea is "horrible" because it feels like the shooter has gotten away.

As you know, there's an intense manhunt for the gunman by local and federal authorities, and the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information in the ongoing case. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told ABC News Monday authorities "continue to receive zero credible threats to our community, Brown or the broader community," which he's certainly caught some flack for as the suspect remains on the lam.

While Eva feels safe overall, she tells TMZ she and her peers have just as much information as the general public, and the lack of knowledge about the assailant has everyone "on edge." She is pining for the answers to simple questions -- how and how such a tragedy could have happened.

One thing she's sure of -- something needs to change. Eva says it's "insane" students are so vulnerable to gun violence in America, noting ... "I just wanted to go to school and learn and have this community and be safe. And now that's been taken from me." While she says she doesn't have the answers, she looks at lawmakers who are better equipped to advocate for gun safety regulations.

"TMZ After Dark" has been tearing up the nightlife for a minute now ... so naturally, the next step was bigger, bolder, raunchier -- it's our first-ever gay party on wheels!

We’ve honestly never seen a party like it -- history went down Saturday night as celeb hosts Queer Ultimatum’s Vanessa Papa and comedian Izzy Rocha turned all the way up, raging with Ashlee Belzo's queer-owned production crew Girls, Gays and Theys.

The bar crawl kicked off at Jumbo’s Clown Room, bounced to Rainbow Bar & Grill, rolled through Beaches Tropicana ... and wrapped at Roosterfish West Hollywood for the company’s massive third anniversary blowout.

If that wasn’t enough -- surprise! West Hollywood Mayor Chelsea Lee Byers popped up, and we took her to Jumbo’s for the first time. Cameras weren’t allowed inside, so yeah ... let your imagination do the heavy lifting ...
