President Biden is showing serious signs of life and energy ... getting testy with reporters who tried grilling him on his memory loss and a damning special counsel report.

The highlight ... Biden telling Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, "My memory is so bad I let you speak."

Biden's zinger came as POTUS took the podium in the White House press room Thursday for some rare remarks, fielding questions from journalists in the wake of a special prosecutor calling out his "faulty memory."

Biden had the old noodle working on this occasion, firing off zingers aimed at the media ... and verbally sparring with reporters from multiple outlets.

When Doocy started asking questions about the special counsel report, Biden got testy ... and, if we're being honest, channeled a bit of Donald Trump.

Biden mocked the special counsel, who in his report said JB won't be charged for his handling of classified information while out of office because 46 is a "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."

The Prez jokingly agreed, adding ... "I know what the hell I'm doing. I'm President and I put this country back on it's feet."

Asked directly how bad his memory is and if he can continue as President, Biden shot back at Doocy with his "memory so bad I let you speak" one-liner ... which has some serious meme potential.

Another reporter followed up by asking Biden if his memory has gotten worse ... with POTUS saying his memory is "fine" before listing off his legislative accomplishments.

The commander-in-chief also wasn't happy with the special counsel saying Biden couldn't remember when his son Beau died.

Biden's response ... "How in the hell dare he raise that. Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself it wasn't any of their damn business."

Biden groused further ... "I don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away."

The special counsel says there's evidence Biden mishandled classified docs, but the prosecutor decided against charging Biden because he wasn't confident in a guilty verdict due to Biden's faulty memory and ability to make jurors sympathetic.

Un robot quirúrgico hizo un agujero en el intestino delgado de una mujer de Florida durante la cirugía, hiriéndola, y finalmente causándole la muerte. Esto según una nueva demanda presentada por su marido.

Según los documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Sandra Sultzer, nativa de Boca Ratón, falleció a la edad de 78 años en 2022 después de un procedimiento para tratar su cáncer de colon, el cual se realizó utilizando un robot "da Vinci", una máquina de 4 brazos activada por un médico que opera una cámara y un cirujano que dirige los brazos del robot utilizando un joystick y pedales.

El marido de Sultzer afirma que el robot está diseñado para cortar incisiones tan pequeñas como el tamaño de una moneda de diez centavos. Se supone que estos movimientos precisos minimizan la pérdida de sangre y el trauma del cuerpo en comparación a los cortes más grandes realizados durante los procedimientos quirúrgicos tradicionales.

La demanda alega algunas de las mangas de goma alrededor de los brazos tenían grietas que generaban corrientes eléctricas y la energía perdida esencialmente quemó tejidos del cuerpo de Sandra durante su procedimiento de septiembre de 2021.

Su esposo afirma que la quema de sus órganos internos ocurrió sin que el equipo quirúrgico siquiera supiera completamente lo que estaba sucediendo en ese momento.

La demanda alega que Intuitive Surgical Inc -la compañía que fabrica el robot da Vinci- no advirtió adecuadamente de estos riesgos, alegando que debería haber sabido de los riesgos de "miles de informes de lesiones y defectos" sobre el dispositivo".

También afirma que el producto no fue diseñado de una manera segura, ni tampoco se sometió a las pruebas necesarias para evitar los riesgos de quemaduras.

A surgical robot burned a hole in a Florida woman's small intestine during surgery, injuring her and eventually causing her death -- this according new lawsuit filed by her husband.

According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Boca Raton native Sandra Sultzer passed away at the age of 78 in 2022 following a procedure to treat her colon cancer ... which was performed using a 'da Vinci' robot -- a 4-armed machine activated by a doctor operating a camera and a surgeon steering the robot's arms using a joystick and foot pedals.

Sultzer's husband claims the robot is designed to cut incisions as small as the size of a dime ... and the precise movements are supposed to minimize blood loss and trauma to the body from larger cuts made during traditional surgical procedures.

The suit alleges some of the rubber sleeves around the arms had cracks which allowed electrical currents to escape ... and the stray energy essentially burned Sandra's body tissues during her September 2021 procedure.

Her husband claims the burning of her internal organs happened without the surgical team even fully knowing what was happening at the time.

The lawsuit alleges that Intuitive Surgical Inc. -- the company that makes the da Vinci robot -- failed to adequately warn of these risks ... claiming it should have known of the risks from "thousands of injury and defect reports" about the device.

He also claims the product was not designed in a safe way or tested enough to avoid the burn risks.

Cops issued Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith a citation for careless driving on Tuesday ... after they say he caused an accident that resulted in a man suffering a partial amputation of his leg as well as other broken bones.

According to a crash report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the gruesome wreck happened at around 11:20 PM -- just minutes after Highsmith and the Heat beat the Orlando Magic at the Kesaya Center in Miami.

Cops state in the documents that Highsmith was going an estimated 45 MPH in a 40 MPH zone ... when he slammed into the back of a pedestrian who appeared to be pushing a broken-down car in the middle of a roadway.

The docs state Highsmith told officers that the disabled vehicle did not have its lights on ... and he couldn't stop his ride in time when he came across it in the street.

Cops wrote in the docs the pedestrian lost part of his right leg in the accident and sustained a compound fracture to his left leg as well. They also say the man suffered a possible broken left arm.

Police added the man was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.

The crash report states drugs and alcohol were not involved ... though officers did write in the docs that Highsmith may have been distracted by unknown circumstances.

Highsmith logged three minutes of playing in the Heat's 121-95 win earlier in the night. He did not play Wednesday, though -- as the team announced he was sitting out of their game against San Antonio due to "personal reasons."

Heat player Haywood Highsmith was involved in a car accident following Tuesday night's game in Miami ... a crash that reportedly left one man in critical condition with a partially amputated leg.

The Heat say 27-year-old Highsmith -- an undrafted free agent out of Wheeling University in 2018 -- got in the wreck heading home from their contest against the Orlando Magic, in which he recorded three minutes of action in the 121-95 win.

According to local reporter Andy Slater, Highsmith hit a man who was helping another driver who was stuck in the middle of the road.

The man who was struck remains in critical condition, the report added.

The Heat released a statement on the incident ... saying, "Our hearts go out to those who were injured."

Highsmith will sit out Wednesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs due to "personal reasons."

Highsmith -- who has also suited up in the G League and overseas -- has appeared in 37 games this season ... averaging 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds so far. It's unclear when he is expected to rejoin the team.

Here's an uplifting sign of just how good Celine Dion's feeling these days -- not only did she make a surprise appearance onstage at the Grammys, but backstage she gave an impromptu performance!

The icon showed off her famous vocal chops alongside Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sonyaé in a clip filmed backstage Sunday night at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena -- proving she's still got it amid her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome, which makes performing difficult due to painful muscle stiffness and spasms.

Celine was effortlessly smooth in her delivery while groovin' along with Sonyaé ... this marking the first time she's sung publicly in 4 years, making the moment all the more special.

Sonyaé shared the IG clip ... rightly captioning it as one of her most iconic moments from the evening, which went down a treat with her followers.

It was a big night for Celine ... who was met with a standing O while presenting the Album of the Year Award -- her industry peers were clearly thrilled to see the hitmaker out, who has mostly been staying out of the spotlight since announcing her rare neurological syndrome.

Although she looked and sounded amazing, sources with direct knowledge tell us the sad reality for Celine is that she still struggles physically many days. In December, her sister said Celine remained focused on her desire to return to the stage.

That explains the joy on Celine's face Sunday night ... as she put it before presenting the Album of the Year, "When I say I am happy to be here, I really mean it. From my heart."

Of course, that heartwarming moment turned awkward moments later when Taylor Swift bizarrely ignored her as she rushed onstage to collect her award.

However, no one dares disrespect the Queen of power ballads, not even Tay Tay herself.

Estas sí que son alentadoras señales de lo que bien que se está sintiendo Celine Dion por estos días: no solo hizo una aparición sorpresa en el escenario de los Grammy, sino que también ofreció una improvisada actuación tras bambalinas.

El icono musical mostró sus habilidades vocales junto a la compositora nominada al Grammy Sonyaé en un clip filmado el domingo en el Crypto.com Arena de Los Ángeles, demostrando que aún lo tiene en medio de su batalla contra el Síndrome de Persona Rígida, que hace que la actuación sea difícil debido a la dolorosa rigidez muscular y sus espasmos.

Celine cantó de manera relajada y casi sin esfuerzo junto a Sonyaé, en la primera vez que la vemos cantar en público en 4 años, haciendo aún más especial el momento.

Sonyaé compartió el clip en Instagram, el que subtituló como uno de sus momentos más emblemáticos de la noche, lo que le encantó a sus seguidores.

Fue una gran noche para Celine, quien fue recibida con una ovación de pie al presentar el Premio al Álbum del Año. Sus compañeros de la industria estaban claramente encantados de ver a la estrella, quien se ha mantenido principalmente fuera de los focos desde que anunció su inusual síndrome neurológico.

Aunque parecía y sonaba increíble, fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que la triste realidad para Celine es que aún lucha físicamente muchos días. En diciembre, su hermana dijo que la cantante seguía centrada en su deseo de volver a los escenarios.

Eso explica la alegría en la cara de Celine el domingo. Antes de presentar el Álbum del Año, esta dijo: "Cuando digo que estoy feliz de estar aquí, lo digo en serio. De corazón".

Por supuesto, el conmovedor momento se volvió algo incómodo momentos más tarde, cuando Taylor Swift bizarramente la ignoró mientras recogía su premio.

Sin embargo, nadie se atreve a faltarle el respeto a la reina de las baladas, ni siquiera la propia Tay Tay.

Kumail Nanjiani says that movie critics were so harsh on his Marvel movie from a few years ago that he thought it'd be best to get on the couch and see a shrink about it ... yep.

The actor -- who played one of the leads in 2021's "Eternals" -- told the tale on the "Inside of You" podcast with Michael Rosenbaum ... where he explained that the work he put into it didn't match the reaction, at least in his eyes.

KN said the reviews were terrible, and he was a little too aware of it -- going on to explain that he was reading each think piece about his movie, which apparently bothered him a lot.

He also notes that it was affecting his home life, adding ... "It was really hard, and that was when I thought it was unfair to me and unfair to [my wife] Emily, and I can’t approach my work this way anymore. Some s*** has to change, so I started counseling. I still talk to my therapist about that."

Even now, Kumail thinks he's still suffering from the experience -- saying ... "Emily says that I do have trauma from it. We actually just got dinner with somebody else from that movie and we were like, 'That was tough, wasn’t it?’ and he’s like ‘Yeah, that was really tough.'

A baby delivered at a hospital last year was somehow decapitated during birth -- something officials are now calling a homicide.

The mother in this tragic case -- 20-year-old Jessica Ross -- says she was rushed to Southern Regional Medical Center in Clayton County, GA, back in July after her water broke ... after which, she went into a lengthy labor.

Ross says her baby boy, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr., became stuck 10 hours into her attempts to push him out -- and she has since claimed the doctor working on her tried to pull the baby out of her birth canal, allegedly using so much force his head detached from his body.

The mother claims the bones in her baby's skull, head and neck were broken by the doctor manipulating the infant's body way too hard ... which literally left the infant separated at the head and torso. When they did a C-section, the family claims the medical staff was able to pull the body out of the mother's stomach ... the head was still lodged in the birth canal.

The family has also alleged that the mother then had to deliver the baby's head vaginally -- just an absolutely awful thing as described in a lawsuit they subsequently filed. What's more, the family alleges the hospital tried to cover up the baby's decapitation ... allegedly wrapping their dead child in a blanket so as not to show his severed head.

On Tuesday, the Clayton County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death a homicide and said the baby died from "fracture-dislocation" in his spinal cord and upper cervical spine.

The family is now going after the hospital, doctors and nurses involved in the delivery ... suing for wrongful death and medical negligence.

Meanwhile, the Clayton County Police Department says it's launching a criminal investigation.

In a statement, the hospital says the baby died "in utero prior to the delivery and decapitation."

Kumail Nanjiani dice que los críticos de cine fueron tan duros con su película de Marvel de hace unos años que pensó que lo mejor sería ver a un psiquiatra.

El actor que interpretó a uno de los protagonistas de "Eternals" de 2021, contó la historia en el pódcast "Inside of You" con Michael Rosenbaum, donde explicó que el trabajo que puso en el filme no se condice con la reacción de la gente.

Kumai dijo que las críticas eran terribles y él era demasiado consciente de ello, pasando a explicar que estaba leyendo cada artículo de opinión acerca de su película, lo que al parecer lo molestó mucho.

También señala que estaba afectando a su vida familiar, añadiendo: "Fue muy duro, y fue entonces cuando pensé que era injusto para mí y para Emily [(su mujer), y que ya no podía enfocar mi trabajo de esta manera. Algunas cosas tienen que cambiar, así que empecé a ir a terapia. Todavía hablo con mi terapeuta sobre esto".

Incluso ahora, Kumail cree que todavía está sufriendo por la experiencia, diciendo: "Emily dice que sí tengo un trauma por ello. De hecho, acabamos de cenar con otra persona involucrada en esa película y estábamos como, "Eso fue duro, ¿no?" Y él dijo: "Sí, eso fue muy duro".

Un bebé nacido en un hospital el año pasado fue decapitado durante el parto, algo que las autoridades califican ahora como homicidio.

La madre en este trágico caso -Jessica Ross de 20 años de edad- dice que fue trasladada de urgencia al Centro Médico Regional del Sur en el condado de Clayton en julio, cuando su fuente se rompió y tuvo que hacer trabajo de parto.

Ross dice que su bebé, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr., se quedó atascado 10 horas después de sus intentos de sacarlo. Afirma que el médico trató de sacar al bebé de su canal de parto, supuestamente usando tanta fuerza que su cabeza se separó de su cuerpo.

La madre afirma que el médico le rompió los huesos del cráneo, la cabeza y el cuello al manipular el cuerpo del bebé con demasiada fuerza, y que literalmente le separó la cabeza del torso. Cuando le hicieron la cesárea, la familia afirma que el personal médico pudo sacar el cuerpo del estómago de la madre, pero la cabeza seguía alojada en el canal del parto.

La familia también ha alegado que la madre entonces tuvo que entregar la cabeza del bebé por vía vaginal, una cosa absolutamente horrible como se describe en una demanda que presentaron posteriormente. Lo que es más, la familia alega que el hospital trató de encubrir la decapitación del bebé, supuestamente envolviendo a su hijo muerto en una manta para no mostrar su cabeza cortada.

El martes, la Oficina del Médico Forense del Condado de Clayton dictaminó la muerte como un homicidio y dijo que el bebé murió de "fractura-dislocación" en su médula espinal y la columna cervical superior.

La familia va ahora por el hospital, los médicos y las enfermeras que participaron en el parto. Todos han sido demandados por homicidio culposo y negligencia médica.

Mientras tanto, el Departamento de Policía del Condado de Clayton dice que está iniciando una investigación criminal.

En un comunicado, el hospital dice que el bebé murió "en el útero antes de la entrega y la decapitación".

Jim Irsay says he's getting over his recent health issues ... revealing Tuesday he's officially "on the mend."

The Indianapolis Colts owner suffered multiple medical scares in the last few months -- including a suspected overdose at his Indiana home followed by a respiratory ailment -- but, thankfully, he said on his X page he's now doing better.

He told his fans he appreciated all of their support as he went through his recovery process ... writing, "Grateful for all the messages of love."

The Colts first announced 64-year-old Irsay was struggling with his health back on Jan. 9 ... when they said he was battling "a severe respiratory illness." The issue was so dire, it actually forced Irsay to back out of a concert with his band.

To make matters worse for the NFL owner, TMZ Sports learned that just weeks prior -- on Dec. 8 -- cops were called to his Carmel home after they said he had been found unconscious with a blue skin tone.

In police documents, cops said first responders administered live-saving measures before taking him to the hospital ... classifying the incident as both an "overdose" and "overdose/poisoning."

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

7:54 AM PT -- King Charles just emerged from his meeting with Prince Harry at Clarence House -- one that only lasted about 45 minutes or so -- and His Royal Highness was all smiles next to Camilla.

This is one of the first times we're seeing the King since word of his cancer diagnosis broke -- and he's surprisingly in very good spirits. Now, he's on his way to Buckingham Palace.

Prince Harry has wasted no time hopping on a plane to London to see his dad less than 24 hours after Buckingham Palace announced King Charles has cancer.

Harry flew private from LAX to London's Heathrow Airport and arrived at 12:20 PM London time. He beelined it for Clarence House ... where his father is staying.

It's unclear how to read this ... whether Harry's quick move in any way intersects with the severity of King Charles's diagnosis.

As you know, Harry and his dad have a fractured relationship, although it's more cordial than Harry's relations with his brother, Prince William.

As we reported, doctors discovered the cancer during a procedure for an enlarged prostate. It is not prostate cancer -- though, the Palace was not more specific.

It's unclear how long Harry will stay. We also don't know if there are plans for Harry and William to see each other, but it would seem that would be hard to avoid given that William is probably spending time at Clarence House as well.

BTW ... Meghan Markle did not travel with Harry.

El Príncipe Harry no esperó para subirse a un avión y viajar a Londres para ver a su padre, menos de 24 horas después de que el Palacio de Buckingham informara que el Rey Carlos tiene cáncer.

Harry voló en un avión privado desde el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles al aeropuerto de Heathrow y llegó a las 12:20 PM de Londres. Fue a Clarence House donde se aloja su padre.

No está claro si el rápido movimiento de Harry tiene algo que ver con la gravedad del diagnóstico del rey Carlos, es difícil de interpretar.

Como ustedes saben, Harry y su padre han estado distanciados, aunque su relación es más cordial que la que tiene con su hermano, el príncipe Guillermo.

Como informamos, los médicos descubrieron el cáncer durante un procedimiento por próstata agrandada. No es cáncer de próstata, aunque el Palacio no fue más específico.

No está claro cuánto tiempo se quedará Harry en Londres. Tampoco sabemos si hay planes para que se encuentre con William, pero parece que sería difícil de evitar, dado que es probable que William pase tiempo en Clarence House también.
