Bobby Brown My Sister's Lying About Alleged Pat Houston Death Wish

Published | Updated

Bobby Brown is irate at his sister for accusing a member of the family of lobbying for Bobbi Kristina's death.

According to our sources ... Bobby claims Leolah is making it all up and hasn't even been around his daughter -- so she has no idea what Pat's feelings are about Bobbi Kristina's condition..

As for Leolah's motivation ... we're told Bobby thinks it's all about getting attention.

Dave Grohl Breaks a Leg During Concert ... FOR REAL!!!

Published | Updated

Dave Grohl just might be the toughest man in Sweden ... after falling off stage and breaking his leg -- he somehow managed to power through and keep the concert going.

According to Swedish witnesses (thanks Google translate) ... it seems the Foo Fighters frontman jumped down from the stage early on during the band's concert Friday night, and sustained a serious injury.

Dave kept singing, but once the song was over ... he waved the white flag, and said they were cutting the show short so he could get medical attention for what he assumed was a broken leg.

PSYCH!!!

FF kept rocking anyway, with Taylor Hawkins singing -- and a few songs later Dave returned with his leg propped up, and finished the concert. Best of all ... one of the songs he belted out was "Under Pressure."

As one fan put it, "Det kallar jag en riktig rockstjärna!"

Exactly.

Charlie Sheen had a medical emergency Monday night ... paramedics were called to his home after getting a call the actor had a bad case of food poisoning.

We're told Charlie's doing fine.

‘The Island With Bear Grylls’ Mouth To Mouth Saves Endangered Turtle

Published | Updated

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.

Ex-NFL Lineman Warns Kyrie Irving ... Don't End Up Like Me!

Published | Updated

A former NFL lineman has a STERN WARNING for Kyrie Irving ... don't let the doctors pressure you into coming back early ... or you could wind up with an OBLITERATED KNEE!!!!

The man behind the warning is LeCharles Bentley ... a former 2-time Pro Bowler who played for the Cleveland Browns ... who suffered a pretty major knee injury of his own during his playing days.

As for Kyrie -- the Cavs said he'd been suffering from a "bad case of tendonitis" over the past few weeks and wanted him to play last night. Kyrie's father had reportedly been pushing for Irving to take it easy.

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."
