We're told Charlie's doing fine.

‘The Island With Bear Grylls’ Mouth To Mouth Saves Endangered Turtle
A contestant on "The Island with Bear Grylls" set aside his own survival instincts to lock lips with an endangered sea turtle to bring it back from the dead.
On Monday night's episode, hungry contestants accidentally trapped the turtle in one of their fishing nets, and found it drowning.
Normally on a 'Bear Grylls' show, wildlife be damned when it comes to survival, but this sea turtle is a protected species, so instead of turning it into soup ... they gave it CPR, and shockingly ... it worked!
After a few puffs the turtle seemed to slowly creep back toward the ocean.
Fun fact: Some turtles breathe out of their anus! Luckily mouth resuscitation worked in this case. Plan B can get messy.

Enter Bentley ... who added his perspective on social media after the game:
"So the doc tells Kyrie it's 'just tendonitis' ... Yea, I tore my patella from having 'just tendonitis'. I tried to 'tough it out'... ."
He then posted a picture of what his knee looks like now -- and said, "Oh, 'it just tendonitis'... I'm out, about to go 'tough out' this leg workout. Could be worse! #Blessed."
Bottom line -- Bentley says, "Athletes better listen to their bodies, not Twitter & Docs."

Karrueche Tran's bloody lip and vague caption might have you believing something seriously physical went down a certain someone in her life ... but TMZ has learned that just isn't the case.

The Who Puff, Puff ... Shove That Weed Up Your Ass!
****WARNING: Video contains graphic language*****
Roger Daltrey damn near shut down The Who's latest concert because someone was smoking marijuana, and video of the incident is graphic -- for its severely un-rock and roll nature.
During Wednesday night’s show on Long Island ... the Hall of Fame frontman stopped singing three songs in so he could berate a fan whose weed smoke was bothering his voice. His bandmate Pete Townshend joined in, screaming at the toker ... “eat it up your f***ing arse.”
At first glance, this is shocking behavior for The Who -- once dubbed the loudest band in the world. But we're told by fans who attended, there was a huge anti-smoking announcement before the concert. So everyone knew the deal.
Plus, Daltrey's had multiple procedures on his throat -- and the tour was even postponed when he got a throat infection in December.
Rock and roll never dies ... but it does grow old.
