Former New York Jets star Nick Mangold says he's in need of a kidney ... and now, he's asking his fans for help in finding one.

The seven-time Pro Bowler revealed on his Instagram page Tuesday he's been dealing with kidney issues for decades -- and "after a rough summer" this year, he's in search of an organ donor.

"Unfortunately," the 41-year-old wrote in a lengthy statement, "I do not have family able to donate at this time, so this is why I'm reaching out to you, our NY Jets and Ohio State communities."

Alyssa Farah might have some explaining to do ... 'cause Donald Trump is calling her out after she seemingly bluffed on live television.

ICYMI ... the 'View' co-host promised back in January she'd put on a MAGA hat if the prez was able to reach a Gaza peace deal -- specifically if he was able to free Israeli prisoners. Now that he's accomplished that, she has yet to hold up her end of the deal.

Now, Trump ripped into her while speaking to the press Tuesday. Just check out the clip -- he calls "The View" a "fraud" and Alyssa "a joke" ... and says she never thought she'd "make it" after she worked for him. She formerly served as his White House Communications Director.

Dashcam video shows the moment Alec Baldwin crashed his wife Hilaria's Range Rover headfirst into a tree.

The footage is from a front-facing camera on the garbage truck Alec claims cut him off ... and you see the commercial truck pull out from a driveway onto the main road, making a right turn before Baldwin's SUV comes into view and crashes into a tree trunk in East Hampton, New York.

It appears the garbage truck slows down as Alec goes around to the right, drives off the road and smashes into some timber.

Heidi Klum’s in a hairy situation -- literally -- polling fans to see if chest fluff is normal, or if she’s the only Angel sporting a peach-fuzz bra.

Okay, so the German supermodel doesn't exactly have a full-on chest carpet -- just a lone rebel strand sprouting from one boob ... which she proudly flaunted on IG, giving it a playful tug for the camera.

Heidi zoomed in -- while speaking German -- enough to reveal the spout was gray, and while she played it cool, she polled fans on whether this was normal ... or just her own follicle freak show.

President Trump is picking off alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers one by one ... with six of the purported Narcos getting blown to pieces today on dramatic video.

47 announced Tuesday on Truth Social, his Secretary of War ordered this morning's lethal strike against the 6 narcotics dealers, who were cruising in a boat through International waters just off the coast of Venezuela.

Check out video ... which shows the precise moment bombs rained down on the alleged bad guys, sending them and their boat straight to Trump hell.

Ready for a revelation? Turns out, YouTubers Daniel Howell and Philip Lester -- better known as Dan and Phil -- are dating!

The pair announced the news about their love lives -- or is it love life? -- in a 46-minute-long video titled "Are Dan and Phil in a Relationship?" on their shared YouTube account ... and according to Phil, the answer is a very simple "yes."

Oh, and here's the kicker -- the two have actually been a couple since 2009, when they started creating content together!

Dan and Phil stated they fell for each other "hard and fast" after they first met, although they didn't put any labels on their romance at first.

It's also worth noting they both came out in 2019 -- just not at the same time. Dan actually claimed he'd been "more than friends" with Phil in his coming-out video, but he decided to keep the actual status of their relationship under wraps, according to Dexerto.

The two were pretty open about having gone through ups and downs just like any other couple, and Dan confessed he'd experienced plenty of homophobia as a child, which didn't exactly encourage him to go public with his relationship later on in life.

Dan and Phil also claimed they wouldn't be changing their content after going public with their romance ... and quipped no one should be afraid of them turning into "couple vloggers in bed."

K-Fed's got a new memoir, "You Thought You Knew," dropping next Tuesday, and he sat down for an interview with The New York Times and gave the newspaper an advance copy ... in the book he writes, "Something bad is going to happen if things don't change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces."

Britney's ex says it's "become impossible to pretend everything's OK" with Britney and adds ... "From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we're getting close to the 11th hour."

Daniel Stern -- best known for his role in "Home Alone" -- was rushed to the emergency room earlier this month ... but fortunately, he is doing just fine now.

This incident went down on October 7th, with the Ventura County Fire Department telling TMZ they responded to a residence in Somis, California, for a medical emergency. Sources tell us the individual was Daniel, although it's unclear what the medical issue was.

The dept says the individual was assessed by firefighters and eventually transported to a nearby hospital. Sources tell us Daniel has since been released.

Forget contouring those curves -- Kim Kardashian’s busy curating carpets, 'cause she's gone full rogue with her "SKIMS: The Ultimate Bush" line ... serving up a whole new way to let the garden grow.

Yup, Kim rolled out her new "Faux Hair Panty" line with a retro ’70s throwback -- the golden era of full-frontal foliage -- in a cheeky game-show spoof on SKIMS' IG Tuesday ... where three bold babes show off their downstairs décor in a "Does the Carpet Match the Drapes?" face-off.

Over on the SKIMS site, the new micro-string thong comes in every kind of crotch couture -- curly, straight, wild, tamed ... your kitty, your kingdom!

D'Angelo's sudden death from pancreatic cancer has completely shattered the hip hop and R&B world ... several of his collaborators and admiring peers are mourning the loss and memorializing his legacy.

DJ Premier, who produced several classic records for D'Angelo -- including their well-placed "Devil's Pie" track -- sent out a loving tribute remembering the "many" good times they had together. The Alchemist and Tyler, The Creator also sent out RIP tweets.

Jill Scott, who was equally instrumental in cementing neo-soul into the music biz, sent out a sweeping tribute to D'Angelo, admitting she never met him ... but she still loved him with all her heart.

4:30 PM PT -- A rep for Wendy tells TMZ ... "Contrary to recent media reports, Dr. Wendy Osefo was not terminated from a faculty position at Wesleyan University. She formally submitted her letter of resignation prior to any public announcement made by the university."

They added ... "Dr. Osefo made the voluntary decision to step down from her role. This decision was made independently and communicated directly to the university before any external reports surfaced."

1:23 PM PT -- Wesleyan University now tells TMZ that Wendy resigned from her position at the university.

More bad news for "The Real Housewives of Potomac" star Dr. Wendy Osefo ... she and her husband Eddie were booked on fraud charges Friday ... and today TMZ has learned she's also lost her job.

Wendy had been a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Sociology at Wesleyan University, but the school released a statement to TMZ Tuesday, writing simply, "Wendy Osefo is no longer an employee of Wesleyan University."

In addition to Wesleyan in Connecticut, Wendy also taught at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland before resigning in 2024. She has degrees from Temple University and Johns Hopkins, and a Ph.D. in public affairs and community development from Rutgers.

Everyone knows politicians love to schmooze around a little bit ... Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto took it to a new level on Monday when he got caught asking Donald Trump for a favor during a hot-mic moment.

The pair's meeting took place during a summit in Egypt, which was centered on trying to bring lasting peace to Gaza ... and Subianto apparently didn't notice he could be heard publicly when he asked 47 if he could introduce PS to his son Eric, according to The Guardian.

Trump was apparently pleased with the request and referred to his second son as "such a good boy," saying he'd have Eric give Subianto a call ... the Indonesian president clarified he'd be okay speaking with either Eric or firstborn son Donald Jr.

Subianto was heard speaking about an area which wasn't "safe, security-wise" and claiming he'd "look for a better place."

It's worth noting both Eric and Donald Jr. are executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, which manages POTUS' various private business interests.

What's also interesting is the Trump Organization officially opened its first golf club in Indonesia this past March -- and everyone knows Trump is pretty big about practicing his swing.

In her Instagram Story Tuesday, Ariana says ... "Hudson and I have decided to go our separate ways, while these things are never easy, we both know it's what's best for us right now."

Ariana continues, "We are so grateful for all the love and support you've shown us over the yers. Sometimes life takes you in different directions and that's okay <3 you all."

Drew Struzan -- the legendary artist who created hand-illustrated posters for blockbuster film classics like "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter" -- has died at 78.

Moderators of Struzan’s official Instagram posted that he died Monday, adding ... "I feel it is important that you all know how many times he expressed to me the joy he felt knowing how much you appreciated his art."

No official cause of death has been announced, though it was confirmed back in April that Struzan had been battling Alzheimer’s for some time.

Alex Jones' control over InfoWars might end up becoming a thing of the past ... because the U.S. Supreme Court just rejected his appeal to avoid paying more than $1.4 billion in damages to the families affected by the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

The court did not issue any comment about the decision, according to NBC News.

Here's what went down ... Jones has made many comments about the Sandy Hook shooting -- in which 20 children and six adults were killed in a mass shooting at a Connecticut school -- and court papers show he's declared the tragic incident was a "staged event" more than once.

The right-wing media figure was subsequently sued by the victims' families in Connecticut state court for defamation and other violations.

Jones -- who owns InfoWars through his company Free Speech Systems -- was found liable for damages in 2021, and he was ordered to pay more than $1.4 billion the following year, according to CBS News. He's currently looking for bankruptcy protection.

One more thing ... the higher-ups at the satirical news site The Onion won the bid to acquire InfoWars in a bankruptcy auction, but a federal judge in Texas blocked the sale last year. A bankruptcy court rejected a second attempt in February this year.
