Aaron Carter is a danger to himself and others, or so someone in his family thinks ... which is why they got cops to race to Aaron's home, but Aaron says he's totally fine.
Cops performed a welfare check Wednesday morning at Aaron's Lancaster crib because -- according to law enforcement sources -- a family member had called saying she was concerned about statements Aaron made last week. That was around the time he broke up with his GF, Lina Valentina.
We're told the person who called cops was concerned Aaron was going to take his own life or hurt someone else. They also feared he was doing drugs and could overdose.
Our law enforcement sources say Aaron -- who started dating Lina last Fall -- wasn't home when cops first arrived but he ultimately came to meet with them, and they determined everything was okay.
Sources close to Aaron tell us the singer believes his pissed off ex may have had a hand in getting the cops sent to his house. We're told Lina was staying with Aaron even after they broke up last week, but he kicked her outta his crib Wednesday and she flew into a rage.
Aaron's attorney tells TMZ ... Aaron wants a smooth breakup, but threatened legal action against Valentina if she doesn't back off.

11:57 AM PT -- 8/8 -- Danny joined "TMZ Live" and gave a detailed breakdown of what went down ... and how a group of strangers banded together to save the baby from the car wreck.
Of course, he also provided some levity about the scary situation.
Trejo says he got a huge assist from a big strong guy and a young lady in freeing the little boy from his car seat so he could pull him out of the wreckage ... and then Danny took it from there.
He tells us his knowledge of special needs children came through in a big way in helping calm the little man's nerves, and his mother joyously got him back safe and sound.
Danny's powers are definitely super ... amazing story!!!
Danny Trejo is the hero L.A. needs ... or at least one grandmother in L.A. desperately needed when her car flipped over trapping her infant grandchild in the backseat.
Danny was in the right place at the right time Wednesday afternoon when a driver allegedly ran a red light, and smashed into another vehicle ... which ended up on its roof.
The 75-year-old was in the area running errands when he came across the accident, and ran to assist. While grandma was stuck in the driver's seat of the flipped car, she kept screaming for Danny and 2 other Samaritans to help the baby boy, who was strapped in the car seat in the back.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Trejo says he climbed into the wreckage and -- with the help of the other heroic bystanders -- was able to pull the infant to safety.
The grandmother had to be freed from the wreck by firefighters. Both grandma and kid were reportedly transferred to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Trejo described helping the little boy to stay calm by saying "OKAY, we have to use our superpowers. So, he screamed 'superpowers' and we started yelling 'superpowers.'" I said, "do this, with the muscles. He said 'muscles.'"
Yeah ... there's that warm, fuzzy feeling.

Jonas Brothers Feeling So Cool!!! Kick Off Happiness Tour
The Jonas Brothers are back on the road, picking up where they left off nearly 6 years ago when they abruptly split -- but there are a few very attractive changes this time around.
Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas finally kicked off their highly anticipated Happiness Begins tour Wednesday night in Miami. The trio's set blended new and old school -- from "Cool" and "Rollercoaster" to "Fly With Me," "Love Bug" and, of course, "Year 3000."
The wives also brought their talents to Miami. Priyanka Chopra, Danielle Jonas and Sophie Turner all proudly posed in front of a "J-Sisters" backdrop while rocking JoBros gear. We're guessing they had premium seating to soak up all the preshow chants of "JONAS! JONAS! JONAS!" inside the packed AmericanAirlines Arena.
Daddy Yankee, Jordan McGraw and Bebe Rexha also made appearances but the spotlight belonged to the bros -- who came out for an encore and performed their smash hit, "Sucker."
The trio and their ladies are traveling with their furry family members as well. Between Sophie, Joe, and Priyanka having extra friendly travel companions, it's a pretty packed flight.
A great ending for sure and nice way to erase their October 2013 memory ... when the brothers abruptly canceled their tour before officially breaking up.

Kylie and Co. arrived in Positano ... where they joined Scott Disick and Sofia Richie, Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble and Kylie's friends just days ahead of her 22nd birthday.
The group beelined it for a couple stores before boarding a tender that chugged its way to their floating palace ... the $250 million mega-yacht, "Tranquility."
TMZ broke the story ... Kylie & Co. boarded a private jet Tuesday filled with family and close friends to begin her big bday celebration. It's gonna be extravagant ... with a little help from the 29-person crew.
TMZ broke the story ... Kylie boarded the private jet with the train of what looks like a wedding dress poking out of the garment bag as it was dragged along the tarmac. It could have been fully covered up, but we're guessing it may have been a gag ... which Kylie often pulls. We're told they're not getting hitched on the trip.

This is the funniest clip you'll see all day ... Jerry's in the middle of Manhattan trying to use a bike-sharing program, but his credit card keeps getting REJECTED!
Jerry admits it's SUPER EMBARRASSING ... and he keeps swiping and swiping ... but no dice.
It's hilarious ... Jerry makes a crack about his awful credit score, and then dips into his wallet to fish out his mom's debit card. Still nothing doing. Side note: Who carries their mom's debit card?!?
Anyway, seems the Citi Bike machine just didn't feel like working -- neither do we -- so it's not like Jerry's flat broke.

Antonio Brown's kids are still adjusting to their daddy's new team ... hilariously asking one very important question at Oakland Raiders camp:
"Where's Roethlisberger?!"
Mr. Big Chest had to answer all of his sons' rapid-fire questions while the cameras were rolling for HBO's "Hard Knocks" ... asking where his usual QB1, Ben Roethlisberger, was ... and it's equally cute and awkward.

Bam Margera's mother is counting on the mini-intervention they held with Dr. Phil to pull her son out of his substance abuse tailspin ... because her family's patience is wearing thin.
April Margera tells TMZ ... Bam's loved ones are at the "end of our rope" with his substance abuse and mental health issues. She says the family is offering its full support, but they've been down this road before, and they know it's no sure thing Bam sticks with rehab, or remains on the right path once he gets out.
As we first reported ... Bam is on his way to a rehab facility after Monday's 3-hour session with Dr. Phil, and the "Jackass" star is starting a 60-90 day stay in treatment. April and Bam's wife, Nikki, both participated in the segment.
As for why April and the rest of Bam's family are running out of patience -- he's been to rehab several times before. His most recent stint was in January and Bam bailed on that after a few days, but his mom says there's reason for hope: an example set by one of Bam's close friends.
She adds ... her son's social media rant over the weekend was "embarrassing" and he's been lashing out at those closest to him.
April feels Bam is his own worst enemy, but she's cautiously optimistic Dr. Phil can be the one to finally got through to her son.

4:04 PM PT -- Bam is en route to a rehab facility after a 3 hour session with Dr. Phil helped him see he needed professional help ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge of the conversation tell us it was a very emotional sit down, with Bam tearing up several times. We're told things came to a "boiling point" when Bam's wife, Nikki, joined Dr. Phil. Bam confronted Nikki about what he considers her "extreme stubbornness" ... according to our sources.
We're told Bam's mother also participated in the session -- and she and Nikki asked Phil for help identifying what kind of substances Bam was abusing.
Bam's now on his way to begin what we're told will be a 60-90 day stay in treatment.
Bam Margera's public plea for help from Dr. Phil worked -- TMZ has learned they're on set right now getting ready for a one-on-one session ... then it might be off to rehab.
Our Dr. Phil sources say the good doc has agreed to meet with Bam and tackle his issues head-on -- just the 2 of them -- with no studio audience. It's being shot in the green room.
Based on what we know, it's likely the "Jackass" star will be urged on to a rehab facility afterward to get his life in order.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Bam just posted that he's on the Paramount lot -- where the show films -- getting ready ... and hanging out with his old buddy, Johnny Knoxville.
As we reported ... Margera shared a series of concerning videos on social media Sunday practically begging for Dr. Phil to take his situation on and help him with his ongoing struggles. Bam said he's worse than he's ever been and his "family is in shambles."
This came on the heels of Bam seemingly relapsing, getting kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight and getting into a verbal altercation with an employee. Margera was in rehab earlier this year after a meltdown at a comedy club.
Our Dr. Phil sources tell us the 1-on-1 session with Bam will be filmed and will air next month when the new season premieres.
We're told, over 17 seasons of the show, "Dr. Phil" has spent $32 million on aftercare for guests ... and it's pretty clear Bam needs it too.

Saoirse Kennedy Hill Maria Shriver, Kennedy Fam Gather To Lay RFK's Granddaughter to Rest
12:57 PM PT -- Saoirse's been carried to her final resting place at the Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery in Centerville, MA by her pallbearers ... including Congressman Kennedy.
Maria Shriver is in an all too familiar position ... attending a funeral for a Kennedy family member, this time for her young cousin, Saoirse Kennedy Hill, who died from an apparent overdose.
RFK's granddaughter was laid to rest Monday during a family service in Cape Cod. The funeral -- also attended by Congressman Joe Kennedy, Saoirse's grandmother, Ethel Kennedy, RFK Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines -- was held a few miles away from the Kennedy compound where Saoirse died.
The service was held at Our Lady of Victory Church, the scene of numerous Kennedy wakes and funerals, including Eunice Kennedy Shriver's in 2009. Caroline Kennedy also got married there in 1986.
As we reported ... Saoirse died Thursday from an apparent drug overdose while staying at the family's famous Hyannis Port estate. She had been in cardiac arrest by the time paramedics arrived. She was rushed to a hospital but doctors could not resuscitate her. She was 22.
Maria, the niece of Robert, John and Ted Kennedy, took to Instagram the day after Saoirse died and said, "Be gentle with others, as so many are struggling. Actually, I think it's best to assume everyone is struggling. So treat everyone with love, tenderness and compassion."

Bam Margera Publicly Asks Dr. Phil for Help ... 'Family's in Shambles'
Bam Margera is turning to Dr. Phil amid his ongoing struggles -- asking the daytime TV host to help mend fences with his own family ... and being very candid with what's wrong.
The former "Jackass" star took to social media early Sunday morning with a pair of rambling videos and basically begged Phil to take his situation on, saying ... "Dr. Phil, I need your help in a big, big way." He explains that his "family is in shambles," while adding that "it's been worse than it's ever been, ever."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Bam says he's disowned his mom -- more on that later -- and that he can't stand his wife, Nikki, with whom he shares an 18-month son, Phoenix. He also says that if he separates with her, he believes she'll use custody of their son as a pawn in court.
He says he won't play that game, adding that she can have him. He also says that when folks say Bam is going "crazy" ... they might be right.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Bam then pivots to his mother, April, saying she's always negative and quick to cut people off in conversation to get her point across. He sees that as a flaw that he seems to think Phil can resolve.
He also says he almost "died" the other day, and that when April was told ... she allegedly acted with zero emotion, which bothers Bam. Bam ends his video rant with an apparent message for his mother -- to consolidate his funds with a new account he opened ... or else.
As we've reported ... Bam's been dealing with lots of issues lately, including addiction and rehab stints. Just this weekend, he flew off the handle on an airport employee ... which prevented him from getting on the plane. He was later escorted away by a cop, but wasn't arrested.
If anyone can help, it's Phil. Ball's in your court, doc.

Diddy and Lori Harvey are keeping their bond going strong in Italy -- where they're hangin' out with her pops in what can only be described as a family (friend) affair.
The hip-hop mogul and Steve Harvey's youngest daughter were spotted grabbing dinner this weekend in Nerano, where dad and what looks like his wife, Marjorie, were tagging along as well. If you ask us, this might just seal the deal on Diddy and LH's relationship status.

Stevie J Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for Joseline ... After She Refuses to Turn Over Their Child

2:28 PM PT -- Looks like Joseline stuck to the plan. We're told she handed over Bonnie to Stevie's adult daughter, as scheduled. Both of them are on their way to L.A. to reunite with him.
8:30 AM PT -- Plot twist! Stevie and his attorney tell us Joseline has flown back to Miami with Bonnie. Stevie is in L.A., but says one of his adult children who lives in South Florida is going to pick up Bonnie.
At least ... that's the plan. We'll see if Joseline cooperates.
"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Joseline Hernandez is on the verge of getting arrested after she blatantly disregarded the child custody agreement she has with Stevie J by denying him the right to see their daughter.
Stevie had a right to take custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Bonnie Bella from July 28 to August 11. Joseline was in Miami shooting "Marriage Boot Camp," so he traveled there on the 28 to pick up his daughter. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, instead of turning Bonnie Bella over, Joseline took the child and flew to L.A.
After Stevie's attorney, Adamma McKinnon ran to court, the judge in the custody case issued an arrest warrant Thursday, ordering Joseline to turn the baby over STAT or she would be taken into custody.
We've learned Stevie J flew to L.A. late Friday and the stage is now set for a showdown. The judge made it clear ... if Joseline doesn't turn the child over, the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. is ordered to immediately arrest her.
And, there's more ... because Joseline violated the custody agreement -- which gave her physical custody and Stevie J visitation -- the judge switched it around and now Stevie has sole physical custody of Bonnie Bella ... until August 15 when they're back in Fulton County court.
We'll let you know if Joseline complies, or if she's arrested.

We broke the story ... Monica filed for divorce back in March, seeking to end her 9 year marriage to Brown. The couple has 1 child together but they have also been raising multiple children from previous relationships together.
So, when we spotted Monica out in NYC, we asked if she was supporting Shannon's new career in the BIG 3, where he's a cocaptain for the Aliens.

Monica says she encourages her kids to support Shannon by attending his games -- and she's planning to go to a game herself in the near future.
See, not all breakups have to be scorched-Earth war.

Donald Trump ESPN Won't Keep His Kids Off Camera ... For Saturday's UFC Fight
-
Exclusive
- 2.3K shares
Donald Trump's sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, will be front and center at Saturday's big UFC fight, and ESPN will show their mugs on TV ... but there are a few strings attached.
Sources connected to the Disney-owned network tell TMZ ... there has been no pressure to keep them off camera to avoid controversy. It's a particularly sensitive time, with Trump's latest attacks which have a huge swath of the country calling him racist. The UFC community -- both fans and fighters -- is diverse, and the presence of the Trumps is a powder keg.
Nevertheless, we're told UFC honcho Dana White is calling the shots on who gets on TV, and we're told the Trump kids will get as much air time as other big celebs at the Prudential Center in Newark. Not to say Dana's directing, but he gives broad directives, and there is no Trump ban.
Now ... we're told the commentators have been told ... NO POLITICS -- and that's squarely in line with ESPN's directive.
Eric and Donald Jr., along with his GF, Kimberly Guilfoyle, were invited to the fight by Colby Covington, who's headlining the main event against Robbie Lawler. Covington is a staunch Trump supporter who's rarely seen without his MAGA hat. POTUS even invited him to the Oval.
And, Dana himself is a die-hard Trump supporter, who even spoke at the RNC. Dana has famously said he will NEVER say anything bad about Trump, who was one of his first and biggest supporters in the early days of the UFC.
