AARON RODGERS That Wasn't My BONG AT JETS GAME ... 'It Was Tequila!"
No, Aaron Rodgers wasn't carrying a bong around with him at the Jets' game despite some heavy online speculation ... recently speaking out to clear the hazy air.
The Jets quarterback set the internet alight when he was filmed on the sidelines accidentally dropping a box, and causing what many thought appeared to be a large glass bong to fall out. Of course, this gave way to heavy speculation online, as Aaron's never been one to shy away from mind-altering substances.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
However, during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" Thursday, Aaron said the glass object was actually just an uber-fancy bottle of tequila he had been gifted.
"Shout out to bongs everywhere ... but that was not one of them," he amused in an apparent swipe at those online hoping the potential smoking pipe would propel him into a fresh controversy.
On the subject of online chatter, he also ridiculed the bong conspiracy as "weak" ... joking that if he was on the other end, he'd have guessed dolphin semen was in the beaker.
Remember, Aaron's in the middle of some serious rehab for a ruptured Achilles. We spoke to sources close to the NFL star who tell us it's still possible he could return by the end of the year ... which would be an incredible medical comeback.

Jason Oppenheim says NFL players would make great realtors ... and he's already hoping one of the league's biggest superstars will eventually join his team one day!!
"Aaron Rodgers," he told TMZ Sports out in LA on Friday. "Absolutely!"
The "Selling Sunset" star says he's convinced guys playing in Roger Goodell's world would do just fine in his ... explaining their contact list could lead them to some big scores in the housing market.
Oppenheim didn't say why Rodgers was currently his top choice to join The Oppenheim Group ... but he did tell us making it in real estate requires someone to be "smart" and "driven" -- two traits the Jets QB obviously possesses.
Oppenheim's talk with us about the NFL didn't stop there, though ... he also told us he would love to represent some footballers in their future hunts for homes -- hinting that some of his beloved Commanders might ultimately become his clients someday.
Hey, Aaron's got some downtime as he nurses his Achilles injury ... so maybe he can start studying for that real estate license!!

TISHA CAMPBELL Stumbles Across Late Dad's Porn Stash ... 'You Nasty A**!!!'
Tisha Campbell made a pretty hilarious discovery in cleaning out her late father's home following his death ... coming across a seemingly endless collection of porn DVDs.
Tisha's dad, Clifton Campbell, died Nov. 1, but the actress and her family were able to enjoy some comedic relief as they found the X-rated stash going through his belongings.
The "Martin" star joked she could open up her own porn store as she sifted through titles like "Gaping Black Buttholes," "White Ho's With Bros," and "Black Cobra." Of course, each DVD came complete with sexually explicit graphics on top.
Funny enough, Tisha also tells a story of how she recently told her 76-year-old dad he needed to get rid of his outdated DVD player ... and how it's now clear why he fought her to keep it. "Now we know why, you nasty a**!" she quipped.
Chuckling away with her family, it was clear Tisha was more entertained than embarrassed by the NSFW findings ... even writing in her IG caption that while mourning was difficult, it was nice to find "levity and laughter with the family" -- and was adamant her dad would've loved their reaction to finding his erotic entertainment catalog.
Her cringing fans, however, joked her dad would be haunting them in their sleep for exposing him like that ... to be determined!!!

TISHA CAMPBELL Tropieza con el escondite porno de su difunto padre ... "Asqueroso hijo de p**!!!"
Tisha Campbell hizo un descubrimiento bastante hilarante cuando estaba limpiando la casa de su difunto padre después de su muerte. Se encontró con nada más ni nada menos que con una colección aparentemente interminable de DVDs porno.
El padre de Tisha, Clifton Campell, murió el 1 de noviembre, pero la actriz y su familia fueron capaces de reírse un momento y encontrar algo de alivio al revisar sus pertenencias.
La estrella de "Martin" bromeó con que podría abrir su propia tienda porno mientras rebuscaba entre títulos como "Gaping Black Buttholes", "White Ho's With Bros" y "Black Cobra". Por supuesto, cada DVD venía con gráficos sexualmente explícitos en la parte superior.
Curiosamente, Tisha también contó que hace poco le dijo a su padre de 76 años que tenía que deshacerse de su anticuado reproductor de DVD, y ahora está claro por qué este luchó por quedarse con él. "¡Ahora sabemos por qué, asqueroso!", bromeó Tisha.
Riéndose con su familia, está claro que Tisha estaba más entretenida que avergonzada de los hallazgos de su padre. Incluso escribió en el pie de foto de su IG que aunque el luto es difícil, es agradable encontrar "ligereza y risas con la familia", y fue firme en que a su padre le habría encantado su reacción al encontrar su catálogo de entretenimiento erótico.
Sus fans, sin embargo, bromearon con que su padre los va a perseguir en sueños por exponerlo de esa manera... ¡¡está por verse!!!
Jake Paul I Love Myself Again ... Thanks To Ayahuasca
Jake Paul says his experiences with psychedelics have made him a new person ... detailing his first time using ayahuasca and how it completely changed his life for the better.
The Problem Child dropped his trash-talking fighter persona and spoke from the heart in a sit-down with Aubrey Marcus this week ... where they discussed a wide range of topics -- his highs and lows as an internet celebrity, his transition to boxing and spiritual awakenings.
Of course, ayahuasca is the same brew that NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers has sworn by -- he previously credited it for the best season in his career.
Jake labels his first time with the psychedelic as a mirror-like experience ... where he was walked through specific moments of his life when he acted in a negative manner -- incidents he didn't even remember happening.
"It made me take a hard look at some of those situations and the big thing was me being, like, snarky sometimes to people," Jake said. "Like sometimes I'll just snap. It's like, 'Why? Why do you do this?'"
Jake pointed out he viewed these interactions from the other perspective ... which made him question his actions and body language toward his peers.
He continued to explain how a lot of his issues came from his struggles with self-love and the amount of pressure he put on himself -- which created a state of fear and anxiety.
On the other hand, Jake said that same flaw also made him want to work nonstop and pursue perfection ... which got him to where he is today.
8/3/22
But the biggest part of the journey -- Jake claims ayahuasca taught him how to love himself.
"It felt like this love that I needed," Paul said. "It was so cerebral ... that was really powerful and I think that was my biggest takeaway from the whole week is working on that self-love and giving myself credit sometimes."
He went on to say the trip reminded him of the beauty of life ... and how he needed to focus on the present moment and let the rest go.

Wynonna Judd Back Onstage & Looking Good ... After Shaky CMA Gig
Wynonna Judd's nerves are clearly settled -- the day after her CMA performance had fans worried about her health, she put on a great show in Texas ... with no apparent issues.
The country singer showed up and showed out for fans Thursday night at the Tobin Center in San Antonio as part of her "Back to Wy" tour.
The crowd seemed to love the show, and more importantly, she didn't seem to be giving anyone a reason to worry -- performing just like she usually does, although she did joke about forgetting some of the words at one point.
As we reported, the same couldn't be said for her performance at the Country Music Association Awards Wednesday night in Nashville ... remember, she joined Jelly Roll for his song, "Need A Favor," but then grabbed a hold of him, seemingly to stay upright.
Jelly made sure to stick by her side throughout their performance, fueling fans' belief something was wrong. After seeing the comments, Wynonna later posted a video chalking up her unsteadiness to nerves getting the best of her.
While some fans heading to the Texas show were likely concerned about what the night would bring ... it looks like all's well with Wynonna once again.
