Mama June & Geno Rough Looking Lunch Date

Things are NOT getting better for Mama June -- who family members believe is in the grips of drug addiction -- because the visuals of her leaving lunch with her BF are rough.
June and Geno Doak looked pretty disheveled Monday as they left a restaurant in their hometown of Hampton, GA. The image of them, after chowing down on Mexican, won't do anything to alleviate her daughters' fears she's spiraling out of control.
Seriously, it's just not a good look.
The reality star still looks like a shell of her former self. She seemed to be struggling to keep her eyes open -- and, as you can see, June is still walking around with her busted chompers. Fixing her busted veneers is clearly not a priority ... they've been this way for months.
Mama's been in a downward spiral ever since her March arrest for possession of crack cocaine.
Frankly, she's looking even worse now than she did when her family attempted an intervention earlier this year -- which left Honey Boo Boo in tears as her mother rejected the pleas for her to get help.
If June's waiting to hit rock bottom ... sure seems like she's getting dangerously close.

Shaggy to Blueface Bang 'Em If Ya Want ... But Wrap It, Bruh!!!

Shaggy thinks Blueface should keep slaying as many Thotianas as he can ... provided he does one, super important thing.
We got Shaggy Friday leaving SiriusXM's headquarters in NYC and asked about Blueface's Ric Flair/Wilt Chamberlain-esque big boast. ICYMI ... Blueface told legendary radio DJ Big Boy earlier this week that in the first 6 months of 2019 ... he'd already banged more than 1,000 chicks.
Ya gotta see Shaggy's reaction. True or not ... Shaggy's happy for Blueface but he offers the rapper some sage advice when it comes to laying down the pipe. Shaggy's not worried if Blueface slips one past the goalie.
In case you're wondering ... Ric Flair claims he's banged 10,000 women -- give or take a few -- and Wilt Chamberlin, of course, famously bragged his tally is 20,000 strong. But, not everyone's buying that.

Candytopia Sued I Shattered My Foot ... Jumping Into Your Marshmallow Pit!!!

3:33 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Candytopia tells TMZ, "Since its inception, Candytopia has welcomed more than 1 million guests who have enjoyed a safe, fun and family-friendly experience. All guests are advised of safety precautions when they purchase tickets and safety signage is placed throughout the interactive exhibits."
They continue, "These precautions are designed to protect our visitors and ensure a positive environment at Candytopia. We are currently investigating the matter."
Candytopia's marshmallow pit is shallower than the social media posts -- for which it's popular -- according to a visitor who says he learned the hard way ... DON'T JUMP IN!!!
The interactive candy museum is being sued by a guy who claims he jumped into the marshmallow pit exhibit -- which he says looks deceivingly like a deep swimming pool -- and SHATTERED HIS FOOT.
According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ ... the man claims he went to Candytopia in San Francisco earlier this year with his fiance, and museum employees actively encouraged him to hop into the marshmallow pit.
Problem is ... the guy says the pit has the look and feel of a swimming pool, complete with a familiar style in-ground swimming pool ladder, but no one told him there wasn't a deep end. The only warning he says he got was to hold on to his cell phone -- which he claims made it sound like the pit was at least waist-deep.
In the docs, the dude says as a result of his injuries he had to wear a walking boot ... and he claims his broken foot ruined his wedding and his doctor told him he'll likely suffer foot pain for the rest of his life!!!
Now, he's going after Candytopia for damages and looking for a sweet payday. If he's awarded a pool of money ... we're guessing he won't dive in.

Serena Williams Retires from Finals Match ... Her Opponent Takes the High Road
Serena Williams was weeping from the sidelines after having to back out of a big match Sunday -- but her opponent proved to a good sport ... and her biggest fan.
The tennis icon was facing 19-year-old Canadian phenom Bianca Andreescu in Toronto for the 2019 Rogers Cup Final -- and after playing four rounds ... Serena was forced to pull the plug and remove herself from contention due to back spasms she was experiencing.
According to reports, she had started to feel the spasms as late as Saturday night during her semifinal victory over Marie Bouzkova.
Looks like it all came to a head Sunday, because Serena became incredibly emotional as she took a seat near the side netting and made her decision to withdraw final. Pretty amazingly, Bianca ran over to console her ... and shared some pretty inspiring words too.
Not the ending we all expected, but what a moment for these two. ❤️🎾🏆

Andreescu and Serena were both mic'd up, and you can hear the former ask if Serena was okay as she embraced her in a hug. After Serena breaks the news to her -- that she was pulling out -- Bianca lets her know there's no shame in her game ... 'cause she's the best.
She says, "I've watched you your whole career, you're a f***ing beast with injuries," adding that she's been through several herself, and knows a bad break when she sees one.
Serena also makes mention of a tattoo she has, and Bianca quickly points out where it is ... saying, "I know everything about you." The two then hugged again on camera.
Serena later explained to the Rogers Cup crowd that she simply couldn't tough it out that day, noting that she had tried. She ended on an optimistic tone, saying that despite it being a rough year professionally, she was going to keep going and competing.
The bummer ending comes almost a year after her controversial U.S. Open finals match with Naomi Osaka, who won amid a sea of boos after Serena's outburst, and eventual loss. She faced Naomi again on Friday and beat her ... but health was her Achilles heel this time.
As for how Bianca handled this though, sportsmanship doesn't get much better than that.

Mike Posner Back on His Feet with Assistance ... After Snake Bite
Mike Posner's road to recovery is looking bright after getting bitten by a snake -- the guy's already taking the first steps ... with some slight help, of course.
The "Cooler Than Me" singer and songwriter posted an encouraging video of himself using a walker in the hospital he's currently being treated at, with a caption that read ... "From 24 miles per day to using this walker to get to bathroom. I’m on my way back. Gonna rebuild with patience and equanimity." He's literally relearning how to walk again via physical therapy.

It's a hopeful sign after the scary run-in he had with Mother Nature last week -- when Mike's leg got acquainted with a baby rattle snake's fangs on a cross-country trek.
You'll recall ... Mike told us he was bitten Wednesday while making his way across Colorado, after racking up 16 miles and looking to log 8 more. The baby rattler jumped out of nowhere on his path and clamped down on Mike's leg, which sent him to the hospital.
Mike got the anti-venom he needed in time, but the snake definitely left its mark ... causing his left foot to swell up near his ankle area -- and the damage was pretty gnarly.
Even in this new vid, you can see Mike's foot looks like a balloon underneath his sock, but it's great to see he's working his way through the pain and keeping his spirits high. He's expected to be off of his national walking route for a few weeks.
Mike's been on the road since April and was aiming to get to California by October -- all to honor the deaths of his father and Avicii. He's also released tunes along the way.

Deepak Chopra says Marianne Williamson has all the qualities you should look for in a leader ... and that's why her presidential bid doesn't stand a chance.
The alternative medicine guru threw his support behind the Democratic candidate when we got him at LAX, praising her integrity and authenticity ... but Deepak says the political system is corrupt, and that's why Marianne doesn't stand a chance.
Deepak believes Marianne's views don't jive with today's political climate ... and even she recently told us traditional politicians and political pundits are trying to diminish her.
Deepak's written books with Marianne and says they're close friends and he knows she has the goods ... but he's convinced people are so cynical -- politicians so power hungry and divisive -- that she's just out of step. To his point, Williamson did not qualify for the next round of debates.
Bottom line ... Deepak believes Marianne is too pure to be Prez.

John Singleton's Mother His Baby Mama Did Nothing to Prevent His Death ... But Baby Mama Denies it

John Singleton's mom claims one of his baby mamas did nothing to help him the night before he died, despite the fact he was throwing up blood and showing signs something was seriously wrong.
Sheila Ward says when John got home the night before he died, his baby mama, Rayvon Jones, met him with, "No open arms just crossed defiant fists." She says some type of argument then started between them.
Sheila claims John then took a bath with his infant son, Seven, but his body began to tremor -- showing serious signs of distress -- and he was almost too weak to get himself out of the tub. He also allegedly threw up blood.
Rather than call 911, Sheila says Rayvon simply put John to bed. His mother says she's haunted by that thought and says, "I can't stop thinking about this truth. Can't blame them. Don't blame them. I feel so sorry for them because they must live with it."
Rayvon tells us John did complain of being sick that night, saying he thought it was food poisoning, but she never saw him throw up, and didn't think it was anything serious. She says she told him to run the bath, to relax and to drink some tea.
Rayvon says she's shocked by Sheila's accusations, and thought they were on good terms. Rayvon tells us she would never have done something to prevent John from getting help if she believed it was a serious medical situation.

President Trump's haters might not wanna hear this, but he's not special -- he's just ONE member of a group of "thugs" and "gangsters" destroying the world ... according to Deepak Chopra.
The alternative medicine guru, who's normally all about peace and love, was pretty fired up about the state of our nation when we saw him Thursday at LAX. We asked him what Americans can do to heal after last weekend's mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
He isn't wasting time getting philosophical -- instead he's unloading on Trump and several other world leaders. Just watch ... this ain't your father's Deepak. THIS guy is fed up.
Now it wasn't all doom and gloom. Deepak did offer some advice on how we can turn things around -- aaand then threw in one more jab about how the Prez came to power in the first place.

Willie Nelson worried his fans when he abruptly canceled his tour due to a "breathing problem," but the singer's only taking a temporary break and will return soon ... TMZ has learned.
Willie's rep tells us his tour schedule is typically 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, but his recent medical issue -- which they believe is linked to his history of emphysema -- is requiring a little extra R&R this time.
To my fans,
— Willie Nelson (@WillieNelson) August 8, 2019 @WillieNelson
I’m sorry to cancel my tour, but I have a breathing problem that I need to have my doctor check out.
I’ll be back
Love,
Willie
We're told he's only officially canceled the next 6 stops on his tour ... but plans to return to the stage September 6 in Gilford, NH and continue on with the 20+ shows scheduled after that.
As for the breathing problem ... Nelson's rep says it was not a medical emergency and he wasn't rushed to the hospital or anything like that. He just needed rest and is back in Texas to see a doctor.
We're told he's currently taking it easy and already feeling better.
Willie's 86, though, and this isn't the first time he's had to cancel some shows due to his health. He missed the Outlaw Music Festival last summer and had to cancel some dates earlier in 2018.
Nelson also stopped a concert in Salt Lake City in August 2017 due to breathing issues.

Mike Posner Bit By Rattlesnake on U.S. Walk ... Airlifted to Hospital!!!

Mike Posner's epic trek across the country is derailed thanks to a rattlesnake bite so bad he had to be airlifted to a hospital to save his life.
The singer-songwriter was making his way across Colorado Wednesday and had already racked up 16 miles on the day with a goal of 8 more when he got bit by a baby rattler. We're told the snake jumped out of nowhere on his path and sunk its fangs into his left leg.
According to Mike, "That venom is no joke!"
This pic of his feet shows where the venom caused swelling from the bite on the ankle -- pretty gnarly.
Fortunately, he says he got to the hospital and received the anti-venom in time, courtesy of an emergency helicopter ride and the expert staff -- but he'll be laid up for a few days and won't be able to continue his walk for several weeks.
On the bright side, Posner says he's enjoying the hospital's AC and a nice bed ... which he hasn't had in quite a long time. He vows to get back on "The Walk" as soon as he's able, though.
We had Mike on "TMZ Live" in April and he broke down the purpose of his journey, which was inspired by the deaths of his father and Avicii. He started on April 15 in New Jersey, and hoped to make it to Venice, CA by October.
He's releasing new music along the way whenever he crosses a state line ... most recently, “Prince Akeem” ft. Wiz Khalifa as he got to Colorado.
The bite is definitely a setback, but Mike insists a lil ol' snake isn't gonna stop him.

Kendrick Norton -- bionic man!??!
The former NFL lineman -- who lost half of his left arm in a July car crash -- says doctors told him he's a prime candidate for a state-of-the art prosthetic limb ... one he can control with HIS MIND!
"I had a good case where they preserved a lot of my nerves from my arm, so I'll be able to get a prosthetic I'll be able to control with my mind."
SERIOUSLY!!!
The 22-year-old joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (weeknights on FS1) -- and told us how he's adjusting to life after losing his arm from the elbow down.
The good news ... technology in the prosthetic limb industry is CRAZY GOOD right now and Norton says he's a top candidate for a bionic limb that will allow him to control robotic fingers as easily as he controlled his old ones.
We did some research and the science is fascinating -- there are limbs that harness signals transmitted from the brain and essentially tell a robotic hand how to function. It's amazing.
Norton still has some healing to do before he gets fitted ... but he's learning all about his options in the meantime.
"In the medical field, there's a lot of new technology out here I'm just now finding out about."
As for his future, we asked Norton if he's considering finding a new sport where he can compete with one hand ... and while he hasn't ruled it out, it's just not his priority at the moment.
Instead, Norton says he's focusing on starting a non-profit charity and wants to use his platform to inspire kids who are living without limbs.
"I just wanna touch as many people as possible."

Colin Kaepernick is still busting his ass to get back in the NFL ... the ex-49ers superstar just posted a workout video -- and it's INTENSE.
The video shows Kap getting after it in the weight room -- there's push-ups, bench presses, rows, tricep pull-downs and dips ... the guy is CLEARLY still in fantastic shape.
And, with the NFL season starting ... it's obvious Kaepernick wants people to know that despite a settlement in his collusion case with the NFL -- he's still working to make a roster.
In fact, the video starts with the number 889 -- the amount of days Kaepernick says he has been "denied" a job in the league.
Of course, the 31-year-old last played in the NFL in 2016 when he was San Francisco's quarterback ... but he claims controversial kneeling protests during the national anthem forced him to be blackballed from the league.
By the way, Houston Texans backup quarterback AJ McCarron suffered a thumb injury this week and the team is reportedly looking to sign a quarterback for camp ASAP.
Clearly, Kap is hoping to get the call.

Antonio Brown is no John Spartan ...
Turns out, the foot injury that's been plaguing him during Oakland Raiders training camp stems from a "cryogenic chamber mishap" ... this according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
31-year-old Brown, who signed a 3-year, $50 MILLION deal with the Raiders, has been nursing some pretty gross-looking feet ... but he hasn't been clear on what caused the injury.
There's been rumblings that he went into a cryogenic chamber without proper foot protection -- but neither Brown nor his representatives have said anything on the record about it.
FYI, cryo chambers can get to about 200 degree below Fahrenheit -- and they're typically used for workout recovery.
There have been cryogenic chamber mishaps to high-profile athletes in the past -- including U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin who suffered frostbite on his feet in 2011 due to wearing sweaty socks during the treatment.
Unclear what exactly caused Brown's injury.
Brown and his situation were featured on Tuesday's episode of "Hard Knocks" -- which showed AB trying to run sprints and workout despite having sore feet.
Brown is reportedly seeing a specialist and is considered day-to-day.
The NFL season kicks off in just 4 weeks -- and it's safe to say the Raiders are working like hell to get him healthy ASAP.

Bam Margera Celeb Boxing Promoter Says Good Luck in Rehab, But Return Our $$$

6:21 AM PT -- We're told Bam's team has returned the check without cashing it.
Bam Margera going to rehab has a celeb boxing promoter in a tough spot -- he's looking to get back the dough he just fronted Bam to ref a high profile match.
Damon Feldman, the promoter putting on a bout featuring the infamous Bagel Boss, tells TMZ ... Bam got half of his fee up front -- a cool $2,500 -- after signing a deal last week agreeing to be a ref. The deal called for Bam to get another $2,500 after the event. Damon says he hopes Bam gets better soon, and he won't hold the "Jackass" star to his contract.
The only catch ... Feldman says he wants his money back.
As we reported ... the "Viva La Bam" star is spending the next 60-90 days in treatment, meaning he's unavailable for the September 7 event in Atlantic City. Damon says he's contacted Bam's team to get the money back, but so far, radio silence.
TMZ broke the story ... Damon and Bam agreed to the deal just before Margera went off the rails last weekend -- berating a Southwest Airlines employee and getting booted from the flight.
The next morning, Bam took to social media and pled for Dr. Phil's help because his "family is in shambles" ... claiming his troubles were worse than ever.

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.
