Bengals Star Tyler Eifert Suffers Nasty Ankle Injury ... Carted Off the Field
Those who are quick to get queasy should look away-- Bengals star Tyler Eifert's ankle went in a direction it definitely shouldn't have during a game against the Falcons ... and his season is likely over.
Cincinnati's starting tight end suffered a gruesome injury Sunday against Atlanta, where he was attempting to run the ball downfield ... but got pummeled by linebacker De'Vondre Campbell, who awkwardly fell on Tyler's right ankle, and snapped it sideways.
Tyler Eifert ankle injury. Poor guy has the worst luck with injuries.

Tyler was eventually carted off the field, and he appeared to be in sheer agony as they drove him away. It's almost certainly a season-ending break, which sucks for the dude since he's had a series of injuries over the last few years that have kept him from playing.
He missed the entire 2014 season to an elbow injury, hurt his other ankle in 2015 and had both his 2016 and 2017 seasons delayed due to back issues. Tyler's 2017 season ended after just two games due to another injury as well. He's never played a full 16-game season.
2018 will be no different after this. Get well soon.

Dolphins Fan Suffers Gruesome Toe Injury In Freak Stadium Accident
This is really, really, REALLY gross.
A Miami Dolphins fan left Hard Rock Stadium last weekend without part of his toe -- when it was SMASHED TO BEJESUS in a freak accident during the game.
Jean Michaud was hanging out at a bar area inside the stadium while the Fins were taking on the Oakland Raiders when a heavy piece of marble slab fell off the bar and smashed his foot.
Michaud says he took off his shoe and noticed his big toe looked like a smashed grape ... and immediately called for help.
Paramedics raced to the scene and began to treat Michaud on the spot. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he underwent surgery. The big toe was partially amputated. He was discharged the next day.
It's unclear how the slab fell off the bar and onto Michaud's foot -- but he claims he wasn't leaning on it or messing with it in any way. He's since hired a lawyer and is weighing his legal options.
We reached out to the stadium and the Dolphins for comment, but haven't heard back from either party.

Lil Xan Here's How Hot Cheetos Sent Me Straight To the Hospital
Lil Xan says he ain't about to quit Hot Cheetos cold turkey ... even if they did burn a hole in his stomach -- as he claims -- and he proved it right in front of us.
We got Xan Wednesday at Irving Plaza in NYC, where he told us exactly what happened when he landed in the back of an ambulance a couple days ago. He eventually laid blame on eating too many Hot Cheetos ... calling it "one hell of a drug."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
A lot of people thought Xan was just trolling, but he assures he absolutely wasn't. It's kind of a wild story -- one filled with Chile Limon, stomach aches, vomiting ... and blood.
Despite the medical crisis, Xan's still down to clown around with his fave snack. Watch what happens when he busts out a bag. Let's just say he didn't shy away.
Fingers crossed he's fully recovered!

Drake I'm Beating the Flu!!! Returning to Tour with Migos in NOLA
Drake has taken care of his health -- and that nasty bout of flu -- and is now ready to be center stage again with Migos ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Drizzy tell us he will be front and center Monday night at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans -- the next stop on his Aubrey & The Three Migos tour. We're told he touched down in NOLA early Monday morning and is set to perform as scheduled -- this on the heels of being sidelined with flu for 2 shows in Miami.
We broke the story ... Drake postponed the concerts that were scheduled for Friday and Saturday. He later addressed the cancellations, citing a mysterious ailment that got him "so ill so fast" like never before in his life.
Our sources say Drake's symptoms included high fever, cold sweats and the shakes. We're told he had doctors and a nurse visiting his Miami hotel, where they administered IVs and other meds that appear to have done the trick ... 'cause now he's recovered enough to perform.
As for the aggressive approach to treatment ... we're told Drake chose to get extra medical care this weekend because there's a lot of money on the line with this tour.
Like we've told you ... the tour was already pushed back once before, and the quartet has had other issues on the road as well. For now, it's full steam ahead.

Andrew Wardle No Wood? No Problem! My Bionic Penis Works Just Fine!!!
There are no limits to the lengths men will go to have sex … an English man born without a penis lost his virginity at 45 after doctors created a bionic one!!!
Andrew Wardle finally lost his v-card with gf Fedra Fabian after getting his new member … and he had to endure a 10-hour procedure and a 10-day erection before making his first trip to pound town … worth it though!
Doctors constructed the bionic member using skin from Andrew’s arm and nerves from his legs … and he says it’s even BIGGER than he expected.
Andrew was born without a phallus -- a one-in-20 MILLION birth abnormality -- and it wasn't until his 30s he discovered docs might be able to fashion him a schlong with a procedure dubbed a phalloplasty.
Andrew had the 10-hour procedure in June, then spent 10 days with a painful hard-on and was forced to wait another 6 weeks before getting down with his chick.
The cost of the procedure? About $65k. Hey, you can't put a price on love.

Jockey Victor Espinoza Recovering After Near-Death Accident
Legendary jockey Victor Espinoza is out of his neck brace, and well on the road to recovery after nearly dying in a gruesome fall off a horse during training this summer ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We broke the story ... the Hall of Famer was severely injured after a horse he was riding went into cardiac arrest on the track on July 22 in Del Mar, California.
The horse's owner -- Brian Trump -- tells us Victor nearly lost his life in the fall when a bone chipped off his neck and just missed cutting an artery.
Espinoza had been in a big neck brace, recovering since the accident ... but he got it removed Wednesday -- and Trump tells us the jockey is "thrilled" with the progress.
We're told Victor will remain in San Diego to keep up with his physical therapy for the next 3 or 4 weeks ... but if the jockey gets clearance, he plans on riding again in the future.
If it's deemed too dangerous, we're told Espinoza will call it a career and could head to TV.

Maura Tierney On the Mend Post-Bike Accident
Maura Tierney appeared feeble and frail a day after her scary cycling accident where a car hit her on the road ... but the good news is that she's on her feet and walking.
"The Affair" star was spotted Tuesday walking gingerly with assistance as she headed down some steps. Maura's left arm was wrapped almost entirely with a protective bandage, presumably covering up an injury suffered Monday in Marina del Rey.
She was seen later walking around the block under her own power.
TMZ broke the story ... the former "ER" star's back wheel was clipped by a car while riding near the ocean. She was sent flying to the ground and was eventually transported to the hospital. She was released with no major injuries, but you can tell she's still feeling it.
Cops say they don't believe alcohol or drugs were a factor. The driver even stayed on the scene while Maura was being treated.
Good to see her out and about ... feel better, Dr. Lockhart.

Swae Lee Fan Throws Object Onstage ... Busts His Lip Bad
Swae Lee was left bleeding and livid after a fan threw something on stage at a concert he was performing at this weekend ... which riled him up enough to threaten to sue.
The Rae Sremmurd rapper was opening for Wiz Khalifa Sunday night at the Starplex Pavilion in Dallas, when at one point a fan threw an object on stage "like a baseball" that smacked Swae in the face and busted his lip open. It also might've knocked out his tooth, as he indicated himself.
*NSFW* 😳
@K104FM
Fan wanted a selfie and threw her cell phone at @swaelee ...here’s the result! Should he sue?? #dazedandblazedtour #K104
WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE pic.twitter.com/wDjPey2yw9
It's unclear what exactly the object was, but some eyewitnesses are saying it was either a phone or a wallet, because it contained an ID inside that Swae was trying to read aloud in getting a name for the perpetrator. He was stopped by people around him, including bandmate Slim Jxmmi who tried to drag him away. It's pretty clear though ... Swae wanted the person's info, and he wanted folks to see his injury.
Someone busted Swae Lee’s mouth by throwing something, mouths bleeding & he’s still going!!! #DTX pic.twitter.com/hRmp6RdWsm
@Miggi_DoubleM
He asked cameras to zoom in on his face, and they obliged. Needless to say, it looked pretty gruesome. His mic was eventually cut off and he stormed off stage in a rage.
Swae later tweeted about the incident, saying the fan was a girl ... and that the injury was bad enough to keep him off tour for at least a few days.
My lip is fucked up this dumb ass girl through her phone on stage like a baseball y’all gotta have more common sense than that my shit is fucked might miss a few days of tour

Backstreet Boys Fan I Thought I Was Going to Die There ... Recounts Tent Collapse
The 14 or so people injured by a tent collapse before a Backstreet Boys concert this weekend are lucky to be alive based on this woman's first-hand account of the accident ... which sounds terrifying.
We spoke with Oklahoma resident Rhonda Dunn, who was one of the at least 14 victims injured at the WinStar World Casino and Resort Saturday after an awning fell on people waiting in line. She recounts the moment the tent collapsed ... fighting back tears to do so.
According to Rhonda, she was pinned under the structure before some heroic bystanders helped lift enough of it for her to get out. She didn't walk away unscathed though -- Rhonda tells us a doctor told her she'd suffered a compression fracture on her spine.
There is a silver lining here -- Rhonda says if/when the Backstreet Boys come back to Thackerville, OK ... she'll be back in line waiting to see them in the front row.

Teyana Taylor No Broken Hearted Girl After Nasty Fall Off Stage!!!
We're so used to seeing Teyana Taylor absolutely SLAY when she's busting a move ... except when she runs out of real estate, which is what led to a nasty-looking tumble off stage.
The crazy fall went down at PlayStation Theater in NYC where she was performing her set in the tour formerly known as the Later That Night tour (more on that in a bit). You see Teyana doing what she does best -- move her body -- when, outta nowhere, BAM ... she slips.
You can see her left foot lose grip ... and though it looked like an awkward fall (that right knee appears to bend like no knee should ever bend), Teyana quickly gets up and doesn't skip a beat.
Unclear if hubby and NBA player Iman Shumpert was in the crowd during the tumble.
It's interesting ... this was the last time Teyana performed in the Later That Night tour. As we reported ... Teyana hijacked the tour Jeremih was headlining and rebranded it the KTSE on Aisle VII tour.

Shonda Rhimes Sued Over Sidewalk Scandal!!!
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
Shonda Rhimes hasn't had a misstep in her career, which is more than can be said about a world-renowned physician who tripped and fell in front of her house, and now the good doc is suing her.
Dr. Kuo Chao claims in a new lawsuit, he was jogging past Shonda's Hancock Park mansion in L.A. back in June 2017, when he tripped over a buckling sidewalk in front of the 8,400 square foot home.
He says he broke his wrist, damaged cartilage and lost range of motion and function in his wrist and arm, which has caused limited mobility and loss of strength and stamina. He also says he has lost "fine motor skills." He says he was unable to work for a long time and it still affects his ability to work.
Dr. Chao says he is a prestigious interventional neuroradiologist -- he treats stroke and aneurysm patients. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Yale.
As for why Dr. Chao says Shonda's responsible, he says she had an obligation to fix the sidewalk, which buckled due to pipes, tree roots and botched repairs. He's also suing the City of L.A.
Dr. Chao is asking for unspecified damages.
We reached out to Shonda's rep .. so far, no word back.

Lance Armstrong Hospitalized After Bloody Bike Crash
Lance Armstrong wrecked his bike on a cycling trail in Colorado on Wednesday -- and bashed up his face so badly, he went to the hospital for treatment.
"Well, sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail," Lance said ... while posting a photo of his bloodied face.
Lance was riding on the Tom Blake dirt trail in Snowmass Village in Aspen when he fell ... hard.
"Took quite the blow to the noggin’ so swung by the Aspen Valley Hospital (great facility!) to get my head checked."
Lance says he was checked out by an Emergency Room doc -- but appears to be okay now.
The former Tour De France champ also says he wouldn't have gone to get his head checked back in his younger days, but now that he's 46 (older and wiser) he takes possible brain injuries MUCH more seriously.

Matthew Perry Recovering from Surgery For Hole in His Gut
Matthew Perry underwent surgery to deal with a serious health scare stemming from his digestive tract.
Perry's reps confirmed to TMZ that the former "Friends" star recently had surgery in an L.A. hospital to repair a gastrointestinal perforation, which is essentially a hole that forms anywhere between the throat and the rectum -- but typically in the stomach, large bowel or small intestine.
It can be triggered by anything from appendicitis or diverticulitis to a knife or gunshot wound. Medical sites say it needs to be immediately treated or it can be life-threatening.
The rep says Matt appreciates the concern over his health and asks for privacy as he heals.

Kendall Jenner Her Dog Allegedly Bites Little Girl ... Cops Called
8/6 -- A source close to Kendall tells us her dog never made contact with the child -- it was startled by the little girl -- and it never bit her. We're told Kendall didn't leave the deli until she was sure the dog didn't bite the girl as there were no physical injuries.
Kendall Jenner had cops called on her this weekend while out with her boyfriend, Ben Simmons, after her dog allegedly bit a little girl.
Law enforcement sources tell us a call to LAPD came in Sunday morning regarding a dog bite at the Beverly Glen Deli in L.A. that was allegedly inflicted by Kendall's Doberman Pinscher.
We're told a mother and her young daughter were eating on the patio of the restaurant -- where Kendall and Ben were also seated -- when for some reason her harnessed dog nipped the girl. Sources say there were no obvious puncture wounds from the bite, so the deli's staff simply administered ice from inside for her injury.
We're told when the mother came back outside to confront Kendall and Ben, they'd already paid their bill and vanished -- leaving behind no contact info or note.
As a result, sources say 911 was called. The police department referred the case to Animal Control. Paramedics were not required for the girl's injuries, BTW.
