ROLLING WITH IT

Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei's rehearsal for the "Dancing with the Stars" finale got seriously derailed when she twisted her ankle, and the whole thing was captured on camera.

Normani was attempting to jump into a split when she landed funny on the foot of her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy ... which rolled her right ankle. Happens in basketball all the time, but always looks painful.

Normani and Val are currently in first place and are frontrunners to win the 'DWTS' mirrorball trophy.

It appears they'll still be able to compete, although that split jump's likely scratched from the routine.

Luckily for Chris, it was only a minor flesh wound, and he's expected to make a full recovery.

Travis Scott Didn't Tell The Injured Kid to Jump

Published | Updated

Travis Scott is not responsible for the kid who fell from a 3rd story balcony at his concert ... despite the fact he encouraged people from the 2nd story balcony to jump.

Sources close to Travis tell TMZ ... the rapper never encouraged the teenager to jump into the mosh pit ... a jump that caused serious injuries including a possible broken leg and fractured back.

Travis famously encourages fans to stage dive, but his position is that there's a fundamental difference between the 2nd and 3rd floor balcony. He told fans to form a net before encouraging fans on the 2nd story to leap, but never suggested the 3rd story was safe.

We're told Travis' team is in touch with the kid who hurt himself and are launching a full investigation into what happened ... whether the fan jumped or was pushed.

A rep adds, "The safety of everyone is held in the highest regard and we are currently conducting an internal investigation to ensure that this does not happen again. We are deeply concerned about the guest who was injured and intend to offer him our support."

As we reported, the one thing Travis did offer at the concert was his ring, which we're told the fan accepted.

GETTING BACK TO NORMAL

Jamie Lynn Spears is happy to give an update on her daughter's health after an almost fatal incident on an ATV earlier this year -- but don't ask if she'll ride again.

We got Jamie leaving L.A. Sunday after joining Britney at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards Saturday night. She told us her 8-year-old daughter, Maddie, is 100% after having to be put on a ventilator in February from an ATV accident.

But watch how she reacts to being asked if Maddie will get back on one of the vehicles that nearly killed her ... not nearly as chatty.

We broke the story ... Maddie's ATV flipped into a pond where she was trapped and submerged for several minutes. She was on a ventilator for at least a day.

Apparently, some things are off limits for Jamie when it comes to her kid.

SCARY SITUATION

Machine Gun Kelly is down for the count with broken bones in his chest ... an injury he suffered while shooting a movie last week.

MGK's rep tells TMZ ... he has a contusion and hairline fracture of the sternum (breastbone), and that's why he's had to reschedule the first 3 stops on his tour. Kelly announced the postponements Thursday night on social media, but kept quiet about the injury.

As we reported ... Kelly struggled through a show last weekend in Florida, even walking off stage at one point. Although he finished the show, it was obvious he was in a ton of pain.

Bad timing for the rapper ... his new album, "Bloom," comes out next month ... however, the rep says he's expected to make a full recovery, and Kelly will make up the tour dates.

BTW, the movie he was filming is called "Captive State." We're guessing he'll use a stunt man for any reshoots.
