Madonna I'm Working Out After Health Scare ... Riding Bike Through NYC
Madonna is getting back into the groove after a critical illness threatened her life ... she's exercising again, and appears to be back in good health.
The singer hopped on a bicycle for an outdoor workout Wednesday, pedaling around New York City with a few friends, including her personal trainer.
Madonna's bike ride took her through Central Park and onto Manhattan streets, where she road down a few city blocks ... zipping around town.
As you can see in the videos, Madonna's looking pretty fit and active here ... a good sign after a severe bacterial infection that landed her in the ICU.
Remember ... Madonna was rushed to a hospital at the end of June, so she's only about 2 months removed from the illness that forced her to postpone her 'Celebration' tour.
Madonna says she feels lucky to be alive after her health issue, and she looks pretty lively on a bicycle ... she's definitely stronger than when we saw her last month ... all good signs before she starts touring in October over in Europe.

Car Stunt Gone Wrong Russian Daredevil's Building Jump Fails ... Somehow Survives!!!
Tom Cruise he's not ... a Russian stuntman's attempt to jump a car from one rooftop to another failed so badly, he plummeted to the ground ... yet, miraculously, he's lived to tell the tale.
The stuntman, Evgeny Chebotarev, let the world in on his disastrous stunt when he shared video Tuesday of himself revving up a white Lada Niva -- a Russian-made SUV -- and speeding up a ramp.
The plan was to land on the roof of an adjacent building, but instead, he fell way short and smashed into the side of the building ... putting his friends in an instant panic.
He and the car fell at least 50 feet to the ground, instantly wrecking the vehicle ... but somehow, he pretty quickly climbed out of the mangled wreck seeming relatively unharmed, all things considered.
Safe to say, being able to walk away from that mess is as impressive as landing the stunt would have been. Evgeny showed a close-up of the totaled ride, which ain't a pretty sight.
BTW, he did suffer some minor injuries -- he's got a bloodied leg and showed off an X-ray image, but it doesn't appear he broke anything. He doesn't have a cast on and was able to walk gingerly.
Goes without saying, but don't try this stunt at home ... or, should we say, on top of your home!

The mom of Spain's embattled soccer president, Luis Rubiales, has reportedly been hospitalized after refusing to eat for a third straight day ... all in support of her son as he fights to save his job.
Angeles Bejar, Rubiales' mother, was admitted to Santa Ana hospital in the Motril area of Spain, according to the local parish priest, who told local outlets Luis' mom was feeling tired and stressed as a result of the hunger strike and the controversy involving her son.
Bejar locked herself in a nearby church days ago as a way to protest what she believes is the unfair treatment of Luis.
Of course, Rubiales is under fire for his actions in what should've been the happiest of moments ... when Spain won the Women's World Cup against England. Luis was seen kissing Jenni Hermoso, a soccer star on Spain's team, on the lips.
Despite an immediate backlash, Luis has refused to resign his position, despite Spain's entire soccer club vowing not to play if he remains president.
On Saturday, FIFA suspended Rubiales for 90 days ... but he could still lose his job.
Luis' mother, whose condition is unknown, clearly believes he is being railroaded.

Sen. Mitch McConnell Freezes Again in Front of Media ... Another Scary Episode

Sen. Mitch McConnell's spokesman says, "Leader McConnell felt momentarily lightheaded," and that's why he paused.
However, one of McConnell's aides says although the Senator "feels fine" now, he will be "consulting a physician prior to his next event."
Senator Mitch McConnell froze yet again mid-sentence while addressing the media -- marking a second frightening episode like this that he's suffered in public.
The Kentucky legislator was talking to reporters Wednesday in Covington, KY, addressing a Chamber of Commerce matter and seemingly doing fine ... that is, until he wasn't. When a reporter asked him about running for reelection, he took a long pause.
Much like he did a month ago on Capitol Hill ... Sen. McConnell just stood there quietly, and appeared to zone out. Eventually, one of his aides stepped in and asked if he heard the question ... but he didn't even respond to her, only staring out into space and remaining frozen.
The aide asked the media for a moment of privacy, and that's where the video cuts out.
Obviously, this is deja vu -- and many suspect he might have experienced a medical episode ... although, the first incident was never officially described as such by his team. Now, there are almost certainly going to be even more questions and scrutiny over his health.
Remember, Sen. McConnell also suffered a nasty fall earlier this year that saw him hospitalized for a time. At the moment, he's the top-ranking Republican in the Senate.

Pro Cyclist Remco Evenepoel Bloodied After Crashing Into Fan ... At Finish Line
Pro cyclist Remco Evenepoel literally put his blood, sweat and maybe even some tears into his recent race ... 'cause the athlete was left gushing from the face after crashing into a woman in the crowd.
The scary incident happened on Monday ... after the Belgian star crossed the finish line to win stage three of La Vuelta a España.
In footage of the accident, the 23-year-old is shown zooming directly toward a large group of people after the race ... and a collision was inevitable.
Evenepoel couldn't slow down in enough time to prevent ramming into the crowd ... and despite a few fans jumping out of the way, he made direct contact with a female spectator.
Evenepoel suffered some damage as a result ... and the blood poured from his head as he got back up on his feet.
The good news is Evenepoel is okay ... and after cleaning up, the star cyclist went on his Instagram to send a message to the lady he accidentally ran into.
"I want to tell you all that I'm doing okay. I also hope that the woman involved in the accident/crash is also doing okay," Evenepoel said. "I want to thank all for the support."
FYI, this is Evenepoel's second consecutive first place finish at La Vuelta ... a race his Soudal-Quickstep team didn't want him to compete in this year.
"A first, I said it was preferable that he didn’t do the Tour of Spain," team manager Patrick Lefevere said. "But when I saw the level he achieved again and how keen he was, I could only follow his lead."
Remco -- whose father is former pro cyclist Patrick Evenepoel -- is one of the best in the sport ... and has won a ton of major championships and awards so far in his young career.
Heal up, Remco!!

Everything seemed to be going just fine ... that is, until Jack stood up on the ropes in an attempted body slam -- which appears to have gone awry, based on the way he came down.
Ya gotta see the video, JC does what comes across like a back-half twist -- something a gymnast might do -- but he catches his feet on the turnbuckles and lands on his head and neck.
Jack appears stunned as he tries to get up from the mat, and his opponent then clotheslines his neck, and Jack again lands on his head.
Somehow, Jack's able to continue the match ... only for him to get driven into the mat again, landing once more on his neck and head.
Ouch.

Paul Pierce is opening up on the most terrifying experience of his life ... revealing his near-fatal stabbing in 2000 shaped him into the man he is today.
The Celtics legend reflected on his past in an emotional conversation on Monday night's episode of Fox's celebrity competition show, "Stars On Mars" ... explaining the Boston nightclub incident -- in which he was stabbed 11 times -- completely changed his point of view.

"Not only was it a low point, it was a high point for me, too. It changed my thinking, it changed my mindset, it changed how I lived."
Pierce compared the stabbing to his experience on the show ... as he spent the first few days struggling to gain any ground, but persisted and made it to the very end.
"It's kinda been my life, starting at the bottom and rising up."
Pierce went on to play every game of the 2000-01 season ... eventually bringing a championship to the Celtics in 2008.
Pierce has a chance to get a similar result on the season finale, which airs at 8/7c.

Miguel Insane Body Suspension Performance ... Hooks Inserted Into His Back
Miguel put on a spine-tingling performance at his album party Friday night ... getting hooks inserted into his back before he was hoisted high up in the air by suspension equipment.
The singer hit the stage at Sony Studios in Los Angeles for a 4-song set to promote his upcoming album, VISCERA, after the crowd was told beforehand Miguel would be putting on an innovative, "boundary-pushing" show.
And the dude wasn't lying. Check out the video ... Miguel, shirtless, parked himself on a sitting cube as three assistants stuck two metal hooks through temporary piercings in his skin on either side of his back.
The hooks were then connected to a suspension machine, which lifted Miguel off the ground and close to the ceiling as he belted out his tune, "Rope."
After hovering for about 4 minutes, the machine lowered Miguel to the stage, where his assistants removed the hooks from his back.
The audience loved it and wildly clapped at the end.
We're told Miguel prepped for this event for months, doing test runs with his team of experts who specialize in body suspension.
Miguel is flying high.
'Foodgod' Jonathan Cheban Takin' KBBQ Sauce Company To Court ... Glass Bottle Burst And Cut My Hand!

Exclusive

Foodgod, AKA Jonathan Cheban, is taking a Korean BBQ sauce company to court ... claiming one of the glass bottles burst into shards, slicing his hand clean open.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jonathan says he bought a glass bottle of San-J’s Korean barbeque sauce from a grocery store in Florida in October 2020 -- putting it in his fridge at home -- and taking it out a few hours later while making dinner.
However, Jonathan, repped by attorney Levi McCathern, claims the bottle "inexplicably exploded" in his hand when he took it out of the fridge, with one of the big shards causing quite the gash on his hand ... allegedly causing "significant blood loss."
Jonathan says he has the pictures included in the lawsuit showing he never even opened the bottle before it burst -- insisting the twist cap's seal was still intact after his hand got sliced open.
He also says he had to get numerous stitches and suffered nerve damage and ongoing pain in his hand ... and he claims the cut was just inches from "major arteries in his wrist."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Jonathan claims he's suffered losses like the "ability to use his hand in his social media posts, in his advertisements, and in his ability to sponsor various food items."
He's now suing the manufacturer of both the sauce and the bottle, as well as the distributor and the store he bought it from ... and is asking for a whopping $20 million for the big slice.
For what it's worth, pics from what would've been days after the alleged incident showed him in pretty great spirits ... dressing up as Joe Exotic with Kim Kardashian and her kiddos.
Seems like even a Foodgod can't avoid the dangers of cooking.

Ex-NFL RB Stevan Ridley Here's How Kevin Hart Got Injured ... Hilarious Street Race Vids
Ex-NFL running back Stevan Ridley is finally sharing video of the race that ultimately put Kevin Hart in a wheelchair ... and you can see the comedian came up injured just as the guys were about to cross the finish line.
Per the vid, the race went down on a roadway somewhere outside of a home this week ... with the two not even putting on any sort of running gear for the face-off.
With Hart in a pair of sweats and Ridley in a white tee and short shorts ... the guys actually raced twice before Hart got injured.
In their first run ... you can see Ridley just beat out Hart by a few steps. In their second, Hart actually hung well with the former New England Patriots back -- that is, of course, before he tore a bunch of muscles in his body and had to pull up short.
Hart can be seen in the clip grabbing at his hip before coming to a stop. He ultimately shared on Thursday that he had ripped up his lower abdomen and adductors in the run and he's now in a wheelchair.
"Guys," he said in a video explaining the situation, "I blew all my s***."
For Ridley's part, he didn't rub too much salt in the wound while posting the clips to his social media page Friday ... writing only in the caption, "Gotcha?? Got whooo?!"
We'd love to say a rematch is in order whenever Hart gets healthy ... but the 44-year-old made it abundantly clear he's never racing again -- which, we suppose, now leaves Ridley with forever bragging rights over his good pal.
