Bruce Jenner Nose Mystery Solved ... It's Skin Cancer
Bruce Jenner underwent surgery for skin cancer on his nose earlier this week ... TMZ has learned.
Our Kardashian-Jenner family sources tell us Bruce had a chunk of tissue removed from his nose on Monday ... and the procedure required 30 stitches.
Bruce was spotted with some serious bandages while getting his morning coffee Tuesday in Calabasas -- and everyone's been wondering what the deal is.
We're told doctors attribute the cancer to sun damage -- remember, Bruce plays a lot of golf.
Bruce underwent the same procedure back in 2012 -- that time the cancerous tissue was on the side of his face -- and docs warned him to use better protection.
We're told Bruce is doing okay now, but he "will probably have a big scar on his nose."

Britney Spears She Barfs (Very Possibly) During Desert Storm Concert Reveal
Britney Spears got off to a shaky start for her Las Vegas debut -- she got sick on the chopper ride for her big announcement.
Britney didn't say if "sick" meant hurled ... but it's a reasonable conclusion. She wore gigantic sunglasses in the dark night as "GMA's" Sam Champion tried to get her animated.
So here's the lowdown ... Brit opens Dec 27 at Planet Hollywood. TMZ broke the story ... she'll be pulling in nearly $15 mil for 48 concerts a year and it's a 2-year deal.
Ticket prices are pretty reasonable -- $59 - $179.
Now this is interesting ... Champion asked her about possibly living in Vegas and Brit was sketchy. Our sources (and obviously they're good) tell us ... Brit will "absolutely not" be living in Vegas. She has no plans to get a house there. "It's strictly in and out," said one source involved in the concert ... partly because she doesn't want to disrupt the kids during their school year.
We're told Planet Hollywood will make a gigantic suite available on the 52 floor. There are several of these mega-suites available on the 51 and 52 floors ... People at the hotel call it the 5152, which is interesting. Brit knows something about that ... minus 2.
BTW ... Brit left in an Escalade. We're assuming the ride was barf-free.

Hulk Hogan ANOTHER Bloody Boating Accident
Hulk Hogan should probably consider a land hobby ... 'cause the wrestling legend says he was involved in another freak boating accident this weekend that left him covered in blood.
Hogan tweeted about the incident last night, writing, "How come everytime we go out on the boat someone ends up bleeding?"
He then explained, "Today both me and Dr. Crespo ended up covered in blood, the windshield on my boat exploded because of the wind and speed on the water, crazy."
Hogan says he wasn't even using his fastest boat at the time of the accident.
So far, Hogan hasn't posted any of the boat damage or any physical damage sustained in the accident -- but he's tweeting, so it can't be too bad.
Of course, it ain't the first time Hulk's been involved in a nasty boating accident -- he burned the living crap out of his hand earlier this year when the radiator on one of his boats exploded.

You see photog Carl Wu trying in vain to stop as he careened into Nicole outside the Carlyle Hotel in NYC. You also hear Nicole screaming about pressing charges, and Carl profusely apologizing.
FYI, Carl wasn't arrested because cops said it was just an accident -- but he was cited for riding his bike on a sidewalk.

'Voice' Finalist Jamar Rogers THUMBS UP From Hospital Bed
Former "The Voice" finalist Jamar Rogers is staying positive following his stint in an intensive care unit at an L.A. hospital -- sending TMZ a pic in which he's smiling and giving a big thumbs up.
It's a great sign considering Rogers -- who is HIV positive -- was in a bad place earlier this month after suffering a nasty lung infection.
At one point during his hospital stay, doctors determined Rogers was in critical condition -- but he's doing better now ... and was recently moved out of the ICU.
Jamar tells us, “They still have me on oxygen but they have lowered it. My body is still super weak but my mind is really strong.”
We're told Jamar has lost a bunch of weight over the past few days -- mainly because he's living on a Jello diet -- but everyone's optimistic that he'll be healthy and singing again in no time.
Get well soon.

'Swamp People' Stars Beer Bottle Allegations Are BS That Guy Attacked Us
The father/son gator huntin' duo from "Swamp People" are no bottle-smashing bad guys ... in fact, they were the REAL victims in a mini-mart attack in Louisiana last week, so says a rep for the reality stars.
As we previously reported, R.J. and Jay Paul Molinere were arrested this weekend after an altercation with a 24-year-old man that began on a nearby highway. The guy claimed the Molineres followed him into a nearby market and broke a beer bottle over his head.
But the Molineres claim they did NOTHING wrong ... and their rep says they were merely the victims in an aggravated assault carried out by "someone who is now seeking fame and notoriety."
The rep adds, "It's important for their fans to know that the Molineres are the same good-natured, faith-based family they've always been."
It's unclear if the Molineres plan to pursue any legal action of their own.
