A 3-year-old girl shot herself with an unattended gun in a Florida home, and the horrific incident was caught on video.

The young girl, named Serenity, was playing in the living room at her grandma's Miami-Dade abode last Saturday when she jumped onto the couch near the loaded firearm sitting in plain view.

Check out this newly released footage ... which shows Serenity grabbing the pistol with her hand and peering over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is preoccupied watching a football game on his laptop.

Suddenly, the gun discharges and Serenity is hit in her arm, crying out in pain.

Young looks up, totally stunned, and rushes over to Serenity to check out her injury and give her assistance. Other people dash into the room as total chaos ensues.

Young directs another person to get a belt to wrap around the bullet wound to stop the bleeding. He then escorts Serenity out of the living room, but soon returns to retrieve his gun from the couch before the video cuts off.

Serenity was eventually taken to a hospital, where she underwent surgery. She was released Tuesday and is now recovering at home.

Lil Tay is back in the public eye for the first time in 5 years ... oddly covered up and staying quiet as she arrived in Los Angeles.

The former social media-flexer was bombarded with photogs at LAX Wednesday, covered in a hoodie, mask and sunglasses. Tay wasn't alone though, flanked by security, her mom, Angela, and brother, Jason.

This obviously marks a big milestone for Tay, who hasn't been seen since her virality came to an end in 2018. Paps sprayed her with questions, but she kept her lips sealed ... hopping into a ride without saying a word.

Tay teased her trip Tuesday night, posting a pic of her passport. She's from Canada, so it was almost certain she'd be going international ... and now we know the destination.

TMZ broke the story, Lil Tay was the subject of an alleged viral death hoax last month that was posted to her Instagram account. She told us her account was "compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me."

A post on her IG account Tuesday dragged her father, Christopher ... saying he was the one who faked her death, calling him an "ABUSIVE RACIST MISOGYNISTIC WOMAN BEATING FATHER."

Christopher told us the claims against him are bogus, and warned that the serious accusations could land whoever called him out in civil court.

Lil Tay está de vuelta en el ojo público por primera vez en cinco años, tras aparecer extrañamente cubierta y en silencio en su llegada a Los Ángeles.

La ex influencer fue bombardeada con fotógrafos en LAX este miércoles, mientras estaba cubierta con una sudadera con capucha, máscara y gafas de sol. Tay no estaba sola, estaba flanqueada por seguridad, su madre Angela y su hermano Jason.

Obviamente, esto marca un gran hito para Tay, que no ha sido vista desde que su popularidad llegara a su fin en 2018. Los paparazzi la abrumaron con preguntas, pero ella mantuvo los labios sellados y siguió avanzando sin decir una palabra.

Tay bromeó sobre su viaje el martes por la noche, al publicar una foto de su pasaporte. Ella es de Canadá, por lo que era casi seguro que iba a viajar internacionalmente. Ahora sabemos el destino.

TMZ dio la noticia, Lil Tay fue objeto de un engaño el mes pasado, cuando se publicó a través de su Instagram su supuesta muerte. Ella nos dijo que esta había sido "comprometida por un tercero y utilizada para difundir desinformación y rumores" sobre ella.

Un post en su cuenta de Instagram el martes arrastró a su padre, Christopher, el que decía que había sido él quien fingió su muerte, llamándolo un "PADRE ABUSIVO RACISTA MISÓGINO GOLPEADOR DE MUJERES".

Christopher nos dijo que las afirmaciones en su contra eran falsas, y advirtió que las graves acusaciones podrían aterrizar en un tribunal civil.

Antes de que esta princesita de púrpura se convirtiera en cantante y actriz, solo estaba pidiendo sus deseos de cumpleaños, soplando sus velas y convirtiéndose en una joven estrella mientras crecía en Pasadena, California.

Actualmente tiene 30 años, pero trabaja en Hollywood desde muy jovencita. Quizás la reconozcas por su interpretación de Celeste Burnette junto a Charlie Sheen en "Dos hombres y medio", y también por el grupo de chicas The Stunners, con Hayley Kiyoko.

¿Necesita una pista más? "Me encanta ponerme a 2/Cuando la bebida es demasiado fuerte".

Before this little princess in purple turned into a singer and actress, she was just making her bday wishes ... blowing out her candles and becoming a young star while growing up in Pasadena, California.

She's currently 30 years old; however, she's been workin' in Hollywood since she was just a youngster ... you may recognize her as playing Celeste Burnette alongside Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men", and she was also a member of the girl group, The Stunners, with Hayley Kiyoko.

Need one more clue? "I love to get 2 on/When the drink be too strong!"

Ja Morant's been laying low, but the Grizzlies superstar just made a rare appearance, surprising a bunch of kids at a Memphis basketball court ... hooking everyone up with his signature Nike kicks during hoop sesh!

24-year-old Morant, who will serve a 25-game suspension to start the season, along with Nike held the "Only Basketball" event this week ... and as you'd expect, the kids were super hyped when the 2x All-Star pulled up to the gym.

And, not only did Morant ball out with the youngsters (including throwing down a massive dunk) ... he also gifted the young athletes his Ja 1s, along with other athletic gear.

Morant even offered some advice to the kids, encouraging them to stay focused on the game and stay away from the outside noise.

"Believe in yourself," Morant said. "You know have confidence in yourself."

"There's going to be a lot of outside stuff that can distract you from your ultimate goal. Just stay locked in, tune it out, and stay true to yourself."

BTW, the new "Chimney" colorway for the Ja 1 Nike's were revealed this week ... and they feature his iconic phrase, "We ain't ducking no smoke" on the side. They'll drop later this year.

Morant has been virtually nonexistent this off-season ... laying low after the controversy from his second gun video rocked the NBA.

Of course, Ja flashed a gun on his friend's Instagram Live (just two months after the first incident with a handgun in a Denver-area strip club in March) ... resulting in the 25-game ban.

Los grandes fans de "Shrek" tendrán la oportunidad de vivir como un ogro durante un par de noches porque su icónica casa del pantano ha sido recreada y está disponible en Airbnb.

La casa cubierta de musgo se encuentra en las colinas de las Tierras Altas de Escocia y es una réplica perfecta de la de las películas de animación. El anuncio lo "publicó" Burro y algunos afortunados fans podrán pasar 2 noches en la villa pantanosa a finales de octubre.

La gente va a ser capaz de recostarse en "la cama del ogro", relajarse en el ambiente de "luz de las velas de cera de oídos" y por la mañana van a comer waffles, tal como burro hubiera querido.

Incluso tiene el retrete de Shrek directamente al lado del edificio principal, así que si usted siente las ganas, podría recrear la escena icónica del comienzo de la película de 2001.

Las personas que deseen revivir su infancia pueden solicitar la reserva del Pantano de Shrek a partir del 13 de octubre de forma GRATUITA. En honor a esta oportunidad única, Airbnb también está haciendo una donación a HopScotch Children's Charity que ayuda a algunos de los niños desfavorecidos de Escocia.

Margot Robbie, Mattel y la gente detrás de "Barbie" están acumulando una tonelada de dinero en los cines gracias a los adultos que se sienten nostálgicos y necesitados.

En TikTok circula una tendencia que muestra a hombres y mujeres adultos que se graban a sí mismos yendo a sus jugueterías locales y eligiendo nuevas muñecas Barbie para sí mismos, todo con el fin de satisfacer a su niño interior y conseguir apoyo emocional.

Esto se a convertido en todo un fenómeno desde que se estrenó la película este verano, algunas personas se están comprando las muñecas que nunca tuvieron o regalándoselas a seres queridos (como los padres) que quizá no tuvieron esos juguetes cuando eran niños.

Una profesora de psicología, Kristin Flora, explica a CNN que esto es algo bueno... ya que la gente adulta ahora se siente cómoda no sólo reconectando con su infancia, sino también compartiéndola, y parece ser bien recibido en las redes sociales. Obviamente, esto se presta a la salud mental, etc.

Es una prueba más de que la película de "Barbie" ha tenido un verdadero impacto en la cultura este año y, sea cual sea el motivo, también sigue afectando positivamente a las cuentas bancarias.

Ya sabemos que ha hecho ganar a Warner Bros. más de mil millones de dólares y con este aparente auge en la compra de muñecas, Mattel también debe estar sonriendo. Además, esto parece estar haciendo realmente feliz a la gente en general.

Any huge fans of "Shrek" will have the opportunity to live like an ogre for a couple of nights ... because his iconic swamp home has been recreated IRL, and it's going live on Airbnb.

The moss-covered home is located in the hills of the Scottish Highlands and is a picture-perfect replica of the one from the animated flicks -- the listing is "hosted" by Donkey and some lucky fans will be able to spend 2 nights at the swampy villa at the end of October.

Visitors will be able to kick up their hooves in the secluded pad, relax in the ambiance of "earwax candlelight," and in the morning, they'll be eating waffles -- just like Donkey would've wanted.

It even has Shrek's outhouse directly next to the main building ... so if you're inclined, you could recreate the iconic scene from the beginning of the 2001 film.

People wanting to relive their childhood can request to book Shrek's Swamp beginning October 13 for FREE. In honor of this rare opportunity, Airbnb is also making a donation to HopScotch Children's Charity, which gives back to some of Scotland's disadvantaged children.

Margot Robbie and the folks behind "Barbie" didn't just rack up a ton of dough in theaters -- they're making Mattel money too ... thanks to adults who are feeling nostalgic and needy.

There's been this trend going around on TikTok that sees grown men and women filming themselves hitting up their local toy aisles and picking out new Barbie dolls for themselves ... all for the sake of fulfilling their inner child and achieving emotional support.

It's a whole thing now, apparently ... in the wake of the movie coming out this summer, some people are buying themselves the dolls they never had -- that or gifting them to loved ones (like parents) who might've not had such toys growing up as kids.

A psychology professor, Kristin Flora, tells CNN this is a good thing ... as grown folks now feel comfortable not only reconnecting to their childhood -- but also sharing that, and it seems to be well-received on social media. Obviously, this lends itself to mental health, etc.

It's just further proof that the "Barbie" flick has truly impacted American culture this year ... and, regardless of the reason, it continues to positively affect bottom lines as well.

We already know it's made Warner Bros. a billion-plus dollars and with this apparent boom in doll purchases to boot ... Mattel's also probably smiling all the way to the bank. Plus, this seems to really make people happy in general.

Antes de que esta niña sonriente con coleta se convirtiera en modelo y presentadora de televisión, sólo lucía su vestido de cuadros el primer día de colegio y crecía en Alemania antes de mudarse a Estados Unidos en los 90s.

Probablemente la hayas visto lucir unas alas de ángel a lo largo de los años, ya que fue la primera modelo alemana en convertirse en ángel de Victoria's Secret. Y si aún no sabes quién es esta niña... suele meterse en medio de Howie Mandel y Sofía Vergara.

Before this smiling girl with her ponytail turned into a model and television host, she was just rockin' her plaid dress on the first day of school and growing up in Germany ... before moving to the United States back in the 90s.

You probably have seen her rockin' some angel wings over the years, as she was the first German model to become a Victoria's Secret angel. And, if you're still not sure who this kiddo is ... she tends to get in the middle of Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara.

Matthew McConaughey's decision to ensure the safety of his fans paid off -- proactively getting a restraining order against an obsessive woman -- and allowing cops to intervene when she showed up at a recent meet-and-greet event.

Sources close to the actor tell us the woman, who has been bothering him for years, showed up over the weekend where McConaughey was promoting his new book.

We're told she was greeted by police, informed of the restraining order, and escorted off the property without incident.

Our sources say McConaughey understood the potential risks the woman could pose if she showed up, and wanted to make sure his fans -- including young kids -- were safe ... so that's why he decided to go to court before the event.

The woman's allegedly been an issue for a long time -- with bizarre emails, concerning letters and frivolous lawsuits. Matthew has been able to ignore the woman, but things recently came to a head when she allegedly stated she was planning on attending Matthew's event to promote his new book.

La decisión de Matthew McConaughey de garantizar la seguridad de sus fans ha dado sus frutos, ya que proactivamente obtuvo una orden de restricción contra una mujer obsesiva que le permitió a la policía intervenir cuando se presentó en un evento reciente.

Fuentes cercanas al actor nos dicen que la mujer, que lo ha estado molestando por años, se presentó el fin de semana donde McConaughey estaba promocionando su nuevo libro.

Nos dicen que fue recibida por la policía, informada de la orden de alejamiento y escoltada afuera de la propiedad sin incidentes.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que McConaughey entendía los riesgos que podría significar que apareciera la mujer y por eso quiso asegurarse de que sus fans, que incluían a niños pequeños, estuvieran a salvo... Así que por eso decidió ir a la corte antes del evento.

La mujer supuestamente ha sido un problema durante mucho tiempo. Le ha enviado correos electrónicos extraños, cartas preocupantes y demandas frívolas. Matthew ha sido capaz de ignorarla, pero las cosas llegaron a un punto crítico recientamente cuando anunció que estaba planeando asistir al evento de Matthew para promocionar su nuevo libro.

Matthew McConaughey ha conseguido una orden de restricción en contra de una mujer que, según el actor, lo ha acosado y acosado por más de un año. Matthew presentó la solicitud antes de que se llevara a cabo un evento, al que temía que asistiera.

De acuerdo con los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Matthew afirma que ha sido objeto de acoso por parte de esta mujer desde abril del 2022, diciendo que le ha enviado "cartas desquiciadas, correos electrónicos y demandas frívolas diseñadas para atraerme a la corte con el fin de contactarse conmigo."

El actor dice que ella asegura que está en una relación con Matthew y que es co-autora de sus libros, pero él nunca se ha puesto en contacto con ella, y le ha pedido a su equipo de seguridad que la traten amablemente cuando hablen con ella. Pero, él quería dejar bien claro que no tiene deseos de hablar.

Matthew dice que las cosas han ido escalando y que recientemente esta mujer compró un boleto para un evento fotográfico de su libro para niños, "Just Because", en Los Ángeles, para el cual planeaba viajar "más de 300 millas" para reunirse con él.

El actor afirma que también le envió un "correo electrónico amenazador" a la librería antes del evento, confirmando su asistencia.

Joey Votto is taking his talents to Bikini Bottom -- the Cincinnati Reds star is lending his voice for a local kids' production of "The Spongebob Musical!!"

TMZ Sports has learned ... the 2010 MVP has teamed up with The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati for its rendition of the show based on the hit Nickelodeon series -- officially joining the cast as the iconic "French Narrator."

Of course, Votto is fluent in French after growing up in Toronto ... so the guy won't have to work too hard on nailing the accent.

The first baseman won't be present when the kiddos take the stage October 14-23, but the production company says the work he put into his role will be a treat for everyone involved ... including the folks in the seats.

"We are so thankful to Joey Votto and his team for being a part of the 23-24 TCT Season," TCT CEO Kim Kern said. "Our audiences will enjoy hearing a Cincinnati icon bring this character to life."
