El hijo de Rick Harrison murió trágicamente por una sobredosis de fentanilo, TMZ ha indagado.
La estrella de "Pawn Stars", a través de su representante, le dice a TMZ: "Sí, puedo confirmar que Adam murió de una sobredosis de fentanilo. La crisis del fentanilo en este país debe ser tomada más en serio. Parece que simplemente está fluyendo a través de las fronteras y no se está haciendo nada al respecto. Debemos hacerlo mejor".
TMZ publicó la historia, la familia Harrison se enteró el viernes que Adam murió de una sobredosis fatal. En ese momento, las circunstancias que rodearon la muerte no estaban claras y La Policía de Las Vegas nos dijo que estaban investigando el caso.
La familia Harrison nos dijo: "Nuestra familia está muy triste por la muerte de Adam. Pedimos privacidad mientras lloramos su pérdida".

Rick más tarde publicó un emotivo homenaje a Adam en su Instagram, diciendo: "¡Siempre estarás en mi corazón! Te quiero Adam. 💔"
Adam es uno de los tres hijos de Rick - y su segundo hijo con su primera esposa, Kim. Él había sido en su mayoría fuera del radar en términos de espectáculo de Rick y la tienda ... al parecer, después de haber optado por no aparecer en ninguno de los episodios.

Rick Harrison's son tragically died from overdosing on fentanyl ... TMZ has learned.
The "Pawn Stars" star, through his rep, tells TMZ ... "Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose. The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better."
TMZ broke the story ... the Harrison family found out on Friday that Adam died from a fatal overdose. At the time, the circumstances surrounding the death were unclear and Las Vegas Metro PD told us they were investigating the case.
The Harrison family told us ... "Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss."

Rick later posted an emotional tribute to Adam on his IG, saying: "You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔"
Adam is one of Rick's three kids -- and his second son with his first wife, Kim. He'd mostly been off the radar in terms of Rick's show and store ... seemingly having chosen not to appear in any of the episodes.

Because he was never involved in the show, not too much was known about him ... but we heard he worked professionally in some type of trade.
Adam was only 39.

'AMW' HOST JOHN WALSH Crime Is Worse, So We're Back ... FBI Wanted Us On the Air!!!

Exclusive

"America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh says America's spiraling crime stats, and criminals getting smarter are just 2 reasons why his famous show is returning to FOX.
John and his son, Callahan Walsh, are hosting the 'AMW' reboot, and they joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" to discuss how crime has changed since the show's initial heyday in the '90s and early 2000s.
It was way back in 1988 when 'AMW' premiered on FOX and John tells us crime is so bad these days, honchos at the FBI told him they wanted his show to return, so he could help bust criminals ... particularly in areas the agency considers "lawless."
Another change since the OG 'AMW' ... John says advances in technology are making it easier to find criminals -- but he points out some of that technology also gives the bad guys more tools to break laws, and get away with it.

There are plenty of new criminals for John and Callahan to track down on their reboot ... but they tell us their program will also take a crack at solving some cold cases too.
No one understands the importance of staying on cases like that more than the Walsh family -- John points out he waited 27 years for the police files that eventually helped solve his 6-year-old son Adam's 1981 abduction and murder.
The new 'AMW' premieres tonight at 8 PM ET on FOX, and the Walshes tell us they plan to keep fighting crime in Adam's honor.
Following the premiere of 'AMW,' be sure to stick around and tune into "TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood’s Stalker Crisis" -- the start of a weekly series that hits FOX Monday at 9/8c.

Kodak Black Wants Drug Case Tossed Lab Tests Prove It Was Rx Oxy!!!

Kodak Black has been behind bars since last month after cops claimed they found illegal drugs on him -- but now, his legal team says lab tests prove ... it was all kosher.
The rapper's attorney, Bradford Cohen, just filed new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- asking a judge to dismiss this new drug case against his client ... which alleges Kodak had a controlled substance on him, Oxy, on Dec. 7, and that he was trying to hide it from officers who rolled up on him.
You'll recall ... during the arrest, officers claimed that when they found Kodak that evening -- allegedly asleep at the wheel while parked on a road -- they discovered white powder in his mouth, and went on to allege that KB was trying to hide this from them.
The cops say they tested the substance on the spot -- and alleged that it came back positive for cocaine, so they cuffed Kodak and hauled him off to jail ... where they booked him for possession, evidence tampering, and a traffic violation.
Of course, the authorities also alleged he was in violation of his current probation -- but now, Cohen says the lab tests have come back on the substance ... and they show Kodak wasn't lying when he said the white powder collected that night was just Percocet.
Cohen argues Kodak has a valid prescription for Oxycodone so prosecutors have no grounds to hit him with the drug possession charge.
He's asking for the court to dismiss the case against Kodak. A judge has yet to rule.

The stalker problem in Hollywood has gotten so bad, that celebs are now having to hire PIs to track down these people to make sure they stay away ... including a famous violinist.
We did a ride-along with a seasoned vet in this industry -- a private investigator named Joe Dalu ... who was recently contracted by Lindsey Stirling to locate a man she claims has been stalking her and making her life a living hell.
Check out how Dalu explains this phenomenon to us in the car -- he says there are a lot of law enforcement agencies these days that don't want to serve stalkers with stay-away orders, out of fear of being attacked and harmed ... and as a result, there's no one left to do it.
That's where Joe comes in ... and you can see him doing the job here -- confronting a man who's alleged to be obsessed with Lindsey.
BTW, this guy has ties to hounding Taylor Swift too -- he's been obsessed with her for more than a year -- which just speaks to the larger issue.
Anyway, the entire interaction here is part of a show airing Monday on FOX called 'TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood’s Stalker Crisis' -- kicking off a new series that'll start to air weekly. The show starts at 9/8c ... and you won't wanna miss this.

El problema de los acosadores en Hollywood se ha agravado tanto que los famosos tienen que contratar a detectives privados para rastrear a estas personas y asegurarse de que se mantengan alejadas... incluida una famosa violinista.
Hicimos un paseo con un veterano experimentado en esta industria, un investigador privado llamado Joe DeLu, quien fue contratado recientemente por Lindsey Stirling para localizar a un hombre que ella afirma que la ha estado acosando y haciendo de su vida un infierno.
Échale un vistazo a cómo DeLu nos explica este fenómeno. Dice que hay un montón de agencias de la ley estos días que no quieren involucrarse con los acosadores con órdenes de alejamiento por temor a sner atacados, y como resultado, no queda nadie para hacerlo.
Ahí es donde entra Joe. Se le puede ver haciendo su trabajo, enfrentándose a un hombre que supuestamente está obsesionado con Lindsey.
Por cierto, este tipo también estuvo obsesionado con Taylor Swift durante más de un año, demostrando que es un problema aún más grande..
De todos modos, toda la interacción aquí es parte de un programa que se emite el lunes en FOX llamado "TMZ Investiga: Obsesionados y Peligrosos: La Crisis de los Acosadores de Hollywood", el inicio de una nueva serie que comenzará a emitirse semanalmente... no te lo querrás perder.
Blueface Doing His Time Ain't So Hard ... Relatively Cushy in Co. Jail

Blueface's life behind bars isn't so bad -- compared to most inmates -- in fact, our sources say it could be a whole heck of a lot worse.
The embattled rapper's back in L.A. County jail after violating his probation in a 2021 assault case, and law enforcement sources tell us he's staying in the administrative segregation area -- meaning he's kept outta gen pop -- and he's got a cell all to himself where he's getting his meals brought to him.
9/12/21
Blue can leave his cell for up to 7 hours a week to participate in education classes or religious services -- assuming they're being offered -- or head to the rooftop yard to call his family or his lawyers.
There's a TV in the shared unit he can watch, and access to the library. Showers are allowed every other day ... unless he's headed to court in which case he's allowed to wash up on that day too.
Blueface will find some commissary options, too ... including Texas beef and cajun chicken ramen, tuna, sliced pepperoni, hot & spicy pork cracklings, hot cheese crunchies, jalapeño peppers, hot tortilla chips and Club crackers.
For dessert, he can choose from Oreos, blueberry and chocolate donuts, chocolate chip cookies or bear claws -- and he can wash it all down with cocoa or coffee.
It's a good thing the food options look tasty ... cause Blue's gonna be locked up for a bit. We broke the story -- he's stuck in prison until at least the summer after violating his probation for a 2021 assault.
We don't know exactly what conditions he violated (his mom's blaming his baby mamas), but there was a hearing last Friday, and now he's in custody until July 2. He was supposed to do a full year, but for every day he serves in county, he'll get credit for another.
Blueface Now Owes $14 Million in Las Vegas Shooting Payout, Interest Accruing
No one's saying County lockup is summer camp, but it sounds like Blue has it easier than most on the inside.

CELEB DOG BREEDER STITCHED UP AFTER FRENCHIE ATTACK ... Lip Ripped Off Face!!

A celebrity dog breeder had his lip hanging on by a thread ... after a French bulldog viciously bit him in the face.
Ronnie Wright of Famous Owned Bullies tells TMZ ... he needed 11 stitches this week when an adult Frenchie at a client's house lunged at his face as he went to kiss it.
He didn't have much time to stop the gush of blood from his mouth ... telling us when he walked into the house to wash it off another Frenchie pounced onto his leg -- though he managed to kick it off.
Ronnie tells us when he looked in a mirror, his lip was hanging off his face and he was rushed straight to the ER.
Currently, he's still super swollen ... meaning it's hard for him to talk, eat, or sleep. He has been dealing with dogs his entire life and Frenchie's for 16 years and never had a single incident.
To rub salt in the wound ... he's gotta have reconstructive surgery when his stitches come out ... 'cause the bite ripped out a piece of his lip cartilage.
Ronnie, based in Carlsbad, San Diego, has built a successful career for himself ... entrusted by clients including Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Jamie Foxx, Selena Gomez, and more -- so the attack undoubtedly comes as a shock.

Packers Fan Sorry Luke Bryan, Pack Comes First ... Watches Game Feet From Stage

Exclusive

Luke Bryan's rip-roaring ditties can capture any crowd's attention ... unless the Green Bay Packers are on apparently.
TMZ's obtained video from LB's concert at "Crash My Playa" -- a four-night concert event in Cancún hosted by Luke himself -- from Saturday night and everyone seemed super into the music ... except one dedicated GB fan that is.
Instead of taking in the performance, this fan's face was buried in his phone ... watching the Pack take on the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the playoffs -- you can't make this kinda stuff up.
He wasn't in nosebleed seats either -- check out the view! Just feet away from Luke Bryan blasting his hits and getting the crowd fired up. Yep, the concert looked freakin' lit.
Now, we gotta be fair here ... doesn't seem like Mr. Green Bay was blaring the NFL audio, and it was a pretty damn important game -- but, still seems strange to go to the concert if the game's that much on your mind.
Maybe he bought tickets months ago when Green Bay didn't have a snowball's chance in heck to make the playoffs ... before winning their last three games and barely edging out the Seattle Seahawks for the final spot.
Unfortunately for this diehard fan, the Packers game didn't end well for his guys ... with 'Frisco pulling off the late 24-21 victory. Insult to injury alert ... they'll play the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game next weekend -- a major rival of GB.
Luke might be singing about "Knockin' Boots" -- but we just hope this fan isn't kicking himself for focusing on a loss instead of the show.

Natasha Leggero expone sus pechos durante un show en Los Ángeles
El número de comedia de Natasha Leggero se convirtió en un strip tease desnuda en el Hollywood Improv la semana pasada después de que se quitara la ropa y le mostrara sus tetas a la multitud.
Según Leggero y un video impactante obtenido por TMZ, así es como fue el espectáculo.
Natasha subió al escenario del Improv el miércoles por la noche después de que el cómico Bert Kreischer arrasara con su primera actuación de la noche, la cual que incluía arrancarse la camisa y contar chistes desnudo de cintura para arriba. Al público le encantó.
Así que a Leggero se le ocurrió la idea de copiar la actuación de Bert con el torso desnudo, ya que era un número muy difícil de seguir. Lo dijo así: "Si los chicos pueden hacerlo, ¿por qué no las chicas?". Buena observación, Natasha.
Pero Leggero mantuvo su plan en secreto porque quería seguir su instinto y no quería que nadie intentara disuadirla.
Después de que su amigo Bert triunfó en el escenario por segunda vez, presentó a Natasha para la siguiente vuelta, mientras desfilaba con la camiseta puesta.
Ahora, aquí es donde las cosas se pusieron realmente interesantes, ya que la cámara se encendió y comenzó a grabar.
Échale un vistazo, Natasha está haciendo un baile sexy delante de todos ya que son completamente ajenos a lo que está a punto de suceder. Primero se quita la chaqueta, luego los tirantes del mono y después la camiseta, dejando completamente al descubierto sus pechos desnudos.
Todo el lugar se vuelve loco, especialmente los tíos del público. De hecho, uno de ellos grita: "¡Santo cielo!".
Leggero se echa hacia atrás la chaqueta para cubrirse las tetas antes de sumergirse en su número cómico mientras el clip se corta.
El divertido show de Natasha fue parte del evento Comedy Rocks de Skyler Stone en el Improv, que también contó con varios otros comediantes de primera como David Spade y Tiffany Haddish.
Natasha fue la favorita del público. ¡Lo sentimos por Bert y los demás!

Comedian Natasha Leggero Turns Comedy Act Into Naked Strip Show ... Caught On Video!!!

Natasha Leggero's comedy act turned into a naked strip tease at the Hollywood Improv last week after she tore off her clothes and flashed her knockers to a packed crowd!
According to Leggero and a shocking video obtained by TMZ, here's how the X-rated show went down:
Natasha hit the stage at the Improv Wednesday night after funnyman Bert Kreischer crushed it with his first performance of the night, which included ripping off his shirt and telling jokes naked from the waist up. The audience loved it, eating up Bert's performance.
So, Leggero came up with the idea to copy Bert's bare-chested routine since he was such a hard act to follow. She put it this way, "If the boys can do it, why can't the girls?" Good point, Natasha!
But, Leggero kept her plan a secret because she wanted to go with her gut and didn't want anyone to try to talk her out of it.
After her friend Bert killed it on stage a second time, he introduced Natasha for her next go-around, as she paraded out in her overalls with her top on.
Now, this is where things got really interesting as the camera was turned on and started recording.
Check it out ... Natasha is doing a sexy dance in front of everyone as they are completely oblivious to what's about to happen. She first removes her jacket, then the straps to her overalls and then her shirt, completely exposing her bare breasts.
The whole place goes NUTS, especially the dudes in the audience. In fact, one guy screams, "Holy s—t!!"
Leggero throws back on her jacket to cover her boobs before diving into her comedy act as the clip cuts off.
Natasha's funny peep show was part of Skyler Stone's Comedy Rocks event at the Improv, which also featured several other A-list comedians, such as David Spade and Tiffany Haddish.
Safe to say Natasha was the runaway crowd favorite. Sorry Bert and all the rest!

Bristol Palin Defends Arming Herself Against Stalkers ... The Law Doesn't Help!!!

Sarah Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol Palin, has been hounded by stalkers for years -- and after little help from the criminal justice system ... she's taken matters into her own hands.
We talked to Bristol for a new documentary airing Monday at 9 PM ET/8 Central on FOX -- delving into the horrors of famous people who've had to battle obsessed fans ... to the point their lives have been put at risk, including BP here -- whose history with this is well-documented.
The incidents for Bristol date back to the mid-2010s ... and they were all harrowing.
In the years since, Bristol hasn't shied away from the fact that she exercises her 2nd Amendment right to bear arms -- something she touches on here in our sit-down with her.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Check it out ... she describes the anxiety she lives with in the aftermath of everything she's gone through -- and explains why she feels protecting herself, her home and her family is absolutely essential in her daily life going forward.
Part of the reason she feels she needs to go to these extremes is because the law itself is simply too lenient when it comes to stalking -- and doesn't do enough to deter them.
We get far more into the topic in the doc itself -- titled 'TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood’s Stalker Crisis' -- and cover more stars who've dealt with this.
The show airs Monday evening on FOX at 9/8c. BTW ... this show launches our "TMZ Investigates" series on Fox Monday nights at 9 PM ET/8 Central.

WWE Superstar Big E says he still has no clue when he'll compete in the squared circle again ... telling TMZ Sports he's not going to rush into a comeback after suffering his scary neck injury nearly two years ago.
We caught up with 1/3 of The New Day out in NYC this week ... and while the 37-year-old recently reunited with his tag team partners Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston after an extended time apart, it doesn't sound like he will be seeing action anytime soon.
"I don't have a timeline, unfortunately, but thank you for asking," Big E said this week.
As for whether he has any concerns about getting back into his wrestling career, the former champ gave a bit of insight into his mindset.
"I just want to make a smart decision," he added. "I didn't start wrestling to end up in a wheelchair, so I just want to make sure I'm just making the best decision for myself."
Of course, Big E hasn't competed since he broke his neck during a tag-team match on "Smackdown" in March 2022 ... after he was dropped on his head.
