'TAN MOM' PATRICIA KRENTCIL Back On Campaign Trail After Scary Surgery ... Senate Bid Rolls On!!!

Published

Tan Mom Patricia Krentcil is on the mend after a very risky surgical procedure ... and she's gearing up to get back on the campaign trail as she runs for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida.

Tan Mom's campaign manager, Adam Barta tells TMZ ... she was admitted to a hospital in Boca Raton last Monday for bypass surgery to remove the stent separating her pancreas and liver.

We're told Tan Mom previously had the stent inserted because of her pancreatitis, and when doctors removed it this time, her organs had major swelling and caused her a ton of pain.

What's more, we're told doctors discovered gallstones stuck by her liver during the surgery ... and she's going to have to go back under the knife in the future to address the issue.

Tan Mom's camp characterized the procedure as "very risky" for her ... and we're told she's recovering at home and recently regained her ability to walk.

We're told Tan Mom's hoping next week she'll be feeling well enough to make her scheduled campaign stops as she runs for one of Florida's seats in the U.S. Senate. She's filming a new campaign video next week with Dr. Miami, who did her makeover in her reality series, "Tan to 10."

Tan Mom's made healthcare one of the most important issues of her campaign ... and she's got some recent experience dealing with the system.

WIPE-OUT PORTA-POTTY On Skates!!! Takes 💩 Turn for Spectator

COMIN' THROUGH!

If you think just using a porta-potty is rough ... grab some TP, because you're about to see a woman get crushed by a porta-potty on wheels, and it's definitely a memory she'd love to flush!!!

A group of stuntmen, known as the @madhouseboys on IG, took part in a Thrasher Magazine event called The Halloween Hellbomb skating/costume competition -- and the video from last week's wild event shows them hurtling down a skate park in L.A.'s Griffith Park in their mobile toilet.

Y'know ... for when ya really gotta go, go, go!

Anyway, things were running smoothly until a woman in the crowd named Katrina Ponce De Leon got distracted while filming on her phone. She told us she couldn't gauge how close she was to the potty shot because she was viewing through a wide-angle lens.

She also didn't see the door hanging off the side, which ended up taking her out as the porta-potty slammed into her. Oh s**t, was never more appropriate! 💩

Katrina only suffered minor injuries in the crash, but check out the guy standing near her who took a street sign to the dome. He went to a hospital to treat a cut on his head.

Luckily, no one was sliding into third and feeling a greasy ... well, y'know.

Mark Zuckerberg Tears ACL Sparring ... Has Surgery To Repair

Published

This never happened coding ... Mark Zuckerberg tore his ACL training MMA, and was forced to go under the knife, delaying a real deal fight Zuck had scheduled for early next year!

The Facebook founder shared several photos from his hospital bed Friday afternoon ... announcing he's suffered a serious injury to his left leg.

"Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it. Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support," 39-year-old Zuck wrote on Instagram.

The bit about the upcoming fight is news, too. No one ever publicly announced Mark scheduled a mixed martial arts bout.

A bunch of MMA stars wished Zuck well after hearing about his injury, including former UFC champ-champ Henry Cejudo, who wrote ...  "Speedy recovery Mark! 🙏"

Through training, Zuckerberg has befriended many of the world's top fighters like Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski.

FYI, the ACL, or the anterior cruciate ligament, is a band of tissue that connects your thigh and shinbones together and is a common injury among athletes.

Of course, Zuckerberg and Elon Musk spent months negotiating terms for an MMA fight, though it never came to fruition. The billionaires blamed each other for the breakdown.

Earlier this week Musk went on Joe Rogan's podcast and again reiterated that he would fight Zuckerberg "anytime, anywhere, any place."

ACL recovery typically takes around 9 months, give or take, to return to competition post-surgery.

Until then, Mark's likely not fighting anyone.

Get well soon!!!

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER Es demandado por un accidente de tráfico con una ciclista... Andabas muy rápido!!!

Published

Arnold Schwarzenegger está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por una ciclista a la que accidentalmente golpeó con su carro, y ella está apelando a sus habilidades de conducción, o más bien, a la supuesta falta de ella.

De acuerdo con la nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joanne Flickinger afirma que es la ciclista a quien Schwarzenegger chocó con su SUV en febrero en una concurrida calle de West Los Ángeles.

En los documentos, Flickinger afirma que Arnold es responsable. Dice que estaba conduciendo "a exceso de velocidad" y falló en mantener una "visión adecuada". También afirma que la colisión del actor le causó lesiones graves.

TMZ publicó la historia, Arnold estuvo involucrado en un accidente de tráfico con una mujer que fue trasladada a un hospital. Se nos dice que tomó la bicicleta de la señora, la ató a su SUV y la llevó a un taller de bicicletas local para su reparación.

En ese momento, nuestras fuentes policiales nos dijeron que la mujer hizo un giro a la izquierda delante de Arnold, antes de que él tuviera la oportunidad de pisar el freno. También dijeron que no iba muy rápido en absoluto.

Obviamente, la ciclista ve las cosas de manera diferente, y va tras de Arnold por dinero.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el campamento de Arnold. Hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

Arnold Schwarzenegger SUED OVER TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WITH BICYCLIST ... You Were Driving Too Fast!!!

Published | Updated

Arnold Schwarzenegger's getting dragged to court by the cyclist he accidentally hit with his car, and she's ripping his driving skills ... or the alleged lack thereof.

According to the new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Joanne Flickinger claims she's the bicyclist who collided with Arnold's SUV back in February on a busy West L.A. street.

In the docs, Flickinger claims Arnold is at fault ... she says he was driving "with excessive speed and failed to keep a proper lookout." She also claims the collision caused her severe injuries.

TMZ broke the story ... Arnold was involved in a traffic accident with a woman on a bike, and she was transported to a hospital. We're told he took the lady's bike, attached it to his SUV and took it to a local bike shop for repairs.

At the time, our law enforcement sources told us the woman made a left turn in front of Arnold before he had a chance to hit his brakes and he was not going very fast at all.

Obviously, the bicyclist sees things differently ... and she's going after Arnold for money.

We reached out to Arnold's camp ... so far no word back.

Kourtney Kardashian Strong Evidence She's Given Birth Travis, Kylie at Hospital

Published | Updated

There is growing evidence Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are welcoming their son Rocky into the world ... although we don't know for certain she's had the baby, we'll lay out what we do know, and the biggest clue involves Travis Barker and Kylie Jenner.

This past Monday, we began receiving tips Kourtney showed up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. On the one hand, lots of people know the Kardashians typically give birth at that hospital, so it's not automatically a lock the tips are accurate.

But then, we've been in touch with various people in the Kardashian orbit, and they have been unusually sketchy on the subject. The only clear fact we confirmed is that her due date was this week. One source said labor would be induced.

And that brings us to the next clue ... Travis and Kourtney have said they wanted the baby to be born on Halloween, which was this past Tuesday. If this was an induced birth and she was due this week, that kinda makes sense.

And now, the kickers ... Check out the photo of Travis Barker's reflection from the side mirror as he pulled into Cedars Thursday afternoon.

And then there's a photo of Kylie Jenner's Range Rover pulling into Cedars Thursday around 3:30 PM. Witnesses eyeballed her as she entered the facility.

All in all, our money is on Kourtney gave birth this week.

Stay tuned ...

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN Fuerte evidencia de que dio a luz Travis y Kylie en el hospital

Published | Updated

Cada vez hay más pruebas de que Kourtney Kardashian y Travis Barker están dando la bienvenida al mundo a su hijo Rocky, aunque no sabemos con certeza si tuvo al bebé, vamos a exponer lo que sí sabemos, y la mayor pista implica a Travis Barker y Kylie Jenner.

El pasado lunes, empezamos a recibir pistas de que Kourtney se presentó en el Cedars-Sinai Medical Center en Los Ángeles. Primero que todo, muchos saben que las Kardashians suelen dar a luz en ese hospital, aunque eso no implica que siempre sea así.

Además de eso, hemos estado en contacto con varias personas de la órbita Kardashian, quienes han sido inusualmente escuetos sobre el tema. El único hecho que confirmamos es que su fecha de parto era esta semana. Una fuente dijo que el parto sería inducido.

Y eso nos lleva a la siguiente pista... Travis y Kourtney han dicho que querían que el bebé naciera en Halloween, que fue este martes pasado. Si se trata de un parto inducido, que estaba previsto para esta semana, tiene un poco de sentido.

Y ahora, las mayores pistas... Echa un vistazo a la foto de Travis Barker desde el espejo lateral cuando se detuvo en Cedars el jueves por la tarde, donde se lo ve muy reflexivo.

Y luego está la foto del Range Rover de Kylie Jenner entrando al Cedars el jueves alrededor de las 3:30 PM. Los testigos la vieron mientras estaba entrando en las instalaciones.

En definitiva, apostamos a que Kourtney dio a luz esta semana.

Estén muy atentos.

Titans' Treylon Burks Carted Off Field ... After Suffering Scary Injury

Published

Tennessee Titans star Treylon Burks was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after suffering a scary injury during Thursday night's game ... but, thankfully, he now appears to be doing OK.

The terrifying moment happened late in the fourth quarter of Tennessee's tilt with the Steelers in Pittsburgh ... when Burks attempted to make a circus catch to keep a late-game Titans drive alive.

The 23-year-old jumped up for the ball, grabbed it with two hands ... but when he came crashing to the grass, it slipped from his grasp as his head and neck slammed violently into the ground.

Burks lay motionless for several moments ... before trainers and medical personnel rushed to stabilize him.

The wide receiver -- a former first-round pick -- was eventually taken to the locker room ... where Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he was showing positive signs of recovery.

"He's alert, moving," Vrabel told reporters after the game. "I'll have more of an update hopefully tomorrow, but he's back there being evaluated. But, I would say that the way it looked -- it's probably better than how it looked."

Adding insult to injury, the Titans couldn't complete their comeback attempt against the Steelers ... falling, 20-16.

Florida Man Arrested for Child Abuse Allegedly Botched Cousin's Circumcision

Published

A Florida man was arrested last month after he allegedly tried circumcising his toddler cousin -- which went terribly wrong ... and which landed this guy behind bars.

29-year-old Timothoes Powell was taken into custody and booked on child abuse charges earlier in October -- all because he allegedly tried snipping his 2-year-old relative's penis while babysitting him down in Daytona Beach ... this according to the local authorities.

Here's how cops are saying it went down ... Powell was watching his young cuzzo while the kid's parents were away -- and mom and dad got a call from their nephew at one point saying he had to rush their son to the hospital because he was bleeding from his crotch.

As it turns out ... the child appeared to have been cut, and when asked about this -- Powell reportedly told police glass must've been in the little one's diaper. Upon further questioning, however, Powell reportedly said he may have pulled the baby's foreskin down too hard while trying to clean him. Of course, cops weren't buying that -- 'cause nurses said it looked like a clean cut and was far too precise to be any sort of accident like the one he described.

Cops ended up arresting with some other evidence they say they recovered -- including home surveillance footage which supposedly shows Powell acting mean to the kid ... and allegedly walking away from the boy at one point with an object in his hand. Investigators believe he may have attempted to deliberately circumcise his cousin ... and now, he's in trouble.

Powell is facing aggravated child abuse charges and is still locked up in Volusia County Branch Jail.

Jorge Soler Sued Allegedly Hit Fan's Eye With Ball ... During '21 World Series

Published

A baseball fan is suing MLB star Jorge Soler ... claiming he hurled a ball into the stands during a 2021 World Series game that ended up causing an "excruciating injury to her right eye."

The lawsuit was filed by Mayra Morris in Georgia on Oct. 25 ... nearly two years after she says Soler caused the injury during one of the Braves vs. Astros championship games at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Norris claims she, her husband and her brother-in-law had seats for the Oct. 29, 2021 contest near the right field grass ... when in the fifth inning, Soler changed her life completely.

She alleges the then-Atlanta Braves outfielder hit her "directly" in her eye after he threw a baseball into the stands during a break in the action "with great force, speed, and intensity."

In the suit, Norris says Soler's toss was not "incidental to the game or any warm-up between players." She also says that after she got checked out by medical personnel, she was diagnosed with multiple fractures, an edema, and an infra-orbital abrasion ... which will require long-term medical care.

She's suing Soler and the Braves for unspecified damages.

Meanwhile, Norris' husband, Scott Norris, is also listed as a plaintiff in the suit ... after he alleges the "loss of companionship, love, affection and intimacy" as a result of the incident.

The Braves did not have a comment on the suit when reached this week ... according to Atlanta News First.

As for Soler, he was a superstar during the series ... helping the Braves win it all, before earning MVP honors. He later went on to sign a three-year deal with the Miami Marlins in the offseason.

Published | Updated

Kirk Cousins is in great spirits after going under the knife to fix his torn Achilles ... sharing a positive update from his hospital bed.

The Minnesota Vikings quarterback went down with the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers ... officially ending his 2023 campaign.

Despite the circumstances, Cousins was all smiles following his procedure Wednesday morning ... giving a big thumbs up as he showed off his new purple cast wrapped around his right leg.

"Surgery was a success!" Cousins said on X ... adding he enlisted popular doctor J. Chris Coetzee of Twin Cities Orthopedics in Eagan, Minnesota for the job.

"Grateful for your prayers, Dr. Coetzee’s abilities, and our medical team. Would appreciate continued prayers! One day at a time…"

The Vikings -- 4-4 so far this season -- will now look to move past the injury ... trading for Josh Dobbs prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. Jaren Hall will get the start.

BONES GOT A BOO BOO

Jon Jones is on the road to recovery after going down with a serious injury ahead of UFC 295 ... showing off his bandaged-up pec following surgery last week.

Bones was forced to back out of his big heavyweight championship bout against Stipe Miocic after he tore his muscle right off the bone in a training session ... postponing the highly-anticipated matchup until 2024.

Jones wasted no time fixing his ailment by going under the knife ... and on Tuesday, he posted a video revealing Steri-Strips -- which are used to hold incisions together -- near his shoulder.

Jones didn't talk in the short clip ... but he really didn't have to -- you can tell by his facial expression he's just as bummed as everyone else about not being able to fight on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden.

In the meantime, Sergei Pavlovich will now take on Tom Aspinall for the interim heavyweight title at the Garden ... which will be the co-main event alongside the Jiri Prochazka vs. Alex Pereira fight.

Jones also shared a post-op vid last week ... confirming he had gotten the procedure done and was ready for the next steps in his comeback. Dr. Neal ElAttrache -- who recently worked on Aaron Rodgers' Achilles -- performed the surgery.

TIME FOR HEALING

Stipe claims he wasn't asked to stay on the 295 card ... but either way, he's ready to get the title back from Jones when the time comes.

"The fight being canceled, it sucks," Stipe said. "No question about it. Unfortunately, that’s just the game we’re in. It happens. Like I said, I hope he’s okay. You want to be the best; you’ve got to beat the best. I want that belt back. It’s my belt. It’s going to happen."

Dana White said it will take eight months for Jones to get back to 100%, but orthopedic surgeons like Dr. David Abbasi say he could be back in half the time.

Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later -- get better, Bones!!

Ivan 'Pudge' Rodriguez Strips Down To His Undies ... For Testicular Cancer Awareness

Published | Updated

Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez just got in front of a camera with his manhood nearly on full display ... and he's hoping the hilarious sight will now help save some lives.

The MLB legend stripped down to his undies as part of a partnership with underwear company Saxx -- filming a 75-second commercial with the goal of raising awareness for testicular cancer in mind.

In the vid, Rodriguez rocked a pair of boxer briefs that he insisted held his family jewels "like a catcher's mitt" ... before he introduced a "Ballgorithm" that will ultimately raise cash for the good cause.

Rodriguez and his co-host explained ... the algorithm -- a math equation centered around the number of bad balls that a pitcher hurls during a contest -- will be applied to every Rangers vs. Diamondbacks World Series game this fall ... and then that figure will be multiplied by 1,000.

That total number will then be turned into dollars and donated to the Testicular Cancer Foundation -- a cause Pudge tells TMZ Sports he cares deeply about.

"The purpose is just to make people laugh and make people aware to go check themselves," he said, "and we did a nice commercial."

The MLB Hall of Famer -- who's now working as a special assistant to the general manager of the Rangers -- said he's been catching a lot of ribbin' both inside and outside of the Texas clubhouse over the vid ... but he couldn't be happier that it might prevent tragedies for people going forward.

"For me, that's the most important thing," he said. "Pay attention. This is a disease you can get in the early ages. So, our message is just to go check, because you never know."

As for Pudge's former team -- the Rangers -- they're all tied up at 1-1 with the DBacks and are now headed to Arizona for Game 3 on Monday night. Check out our interview with Pudge to see how he thinks it'll all shake out from here!!

Tiroteo masivo en Maine Recordando a las 18 víctimas

Published | Updated

Dieciocho personas fallecieron después del tiroteo masivo de esta semana en Maine, vidas que quedaron truncadas cuando Robert Card abrió fuego en un bowling y un restaurante... y la lista de sus víctimas incluye a personas de 70 años e incluso un niño de 14 años.

Los informes dicen que el adolescente Aaron Young estaba con su padre Bill en el bowling Just-In-Time Recreation el miércoles por la noche en Lewiston. Se encontraban allí para jugar y presenciar la liga de bolos de Aaron cuando el pistolero abrió fuego dentro del edificio. Tanto el padre como el hijo fueron asesinados.

Bob Violette, de 76 años, también perdió la vida en el bowling. Estaba como entrenador voluntario de la liga de bolos juvenil. Su compañero de trabajo le dijo a WBZ News que era un hombre "muy amable", "súper comprensivo" y "muy paciente con todo el mundo."

Tricia Asselin, de 53 años, fue tiroteada mientras intentaba llamar al 911 y el gerente del local Tommy Conrad, de 34 años, también murió mientras intentaba someter a Card.

Jason Walker y su amigo Michael Deslauriers II estaban en el bowling con sus esposas e hijos cuando sonaron los disparos. El padre de Michael dice que los dos hombres cargaron contra Card después de asegurarse de que sus familias estuvieran a salvo, y fue entonces cuando recibieron un disparo mortal.

Como se informó, Card salió del bowling y abrió fuego de nuevo en Schemengees Bar and Grille, matando a ocho personas más, incluyendo a Maxx Hathaway, un padre que estaba allí con su esposa embarazada Brenda y su hijo pequeño Lilian.

De acuerdo a su GoFundMe, la familia estaba en Schemengees cuando su esposa -que va a tener a su tercer hijo en poco más de un mes- decidió llevarse a su hijo pequeño a casa mientras Max se quedaba a jugar un poco más al billar.

Entre los muertos en el bar había varios miembros de la comunidad sorda, que estaban peleando un torneo de cornhole, incluyendo Bryan MacFarlane, Steven Vozzella, Billy Bracket y Joshua Seal.

Joseph Walker, de 56 años, era gerente de Schemengees y también fue abatido a tiros. Perdió la vida después de tratar de detener Card.

Como ustedes saben, Card también hirió a 13 personas durante su brutal ataque. Su casa en Bowdoin, Maine, fue rodeada por la policía el jueves por la noche, aunque él no se encontraba en casa. La persecución contra él sigue en marcha. Las tiendas de armas locales han visto un gran aumento en las ventas de armas de fuego y municiones en respuesta.

Maine Mass Shooting 18 Victims Remembered

Published | Updated

Eighteen people are dead after this week's mass shooting in Maine -- lives cut short when Robert Card opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar -- and the list of his victims includes people in their 70s and even a 14-year-old boy.

Reports say teenager Aaron Young was with his father, Bill, at the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston Wednesday night for Aaron's bowling league when the gunman opened fire inside the building -- the father and son were both killed.

76-year-old Bob Violette also lost his life in the bowling alley. There for his volunteer job coaching the youth bowling league, his coworker told WBZ News he was "so kind," "super understanding," and "very patient with everybody."

53-year-old Tricia Asselin was gunned down while trying to call 911 at the bowling alley, and the location's manager, 34-year-old Tommy Conrad, died while trying to subdue Card.

Jason Walker and his friend Michael Deslauriers II were both at the alley with their wives and kids when the shots rang out -- Michael's father says the 2 men charged at Card after making sure their families were safe, and that's when they were fatally shot.

As we reported, Card left the bowling alley and opened fire once again on the crowd at Schemengees Bar and Grille, killing 8 more people ... including Maxx Hathaway, a father who was there with his pregnant wife, Brenda, and their toddler, Lilian.

According to their GoFundMe, the family was at Schemengees when his wife -- who is due with their 3rd child in just over a month -- took their little one home while he stayed behind to play some more pool.

Among those killed at the bar were several members of the deaf community, who were there for a cornhole tournament ... including Bryan MacFarlane, Steven Vozzella, Billy Bracket, and Joshua Seal.

56-year-old Joseph Walker, manager at Schemengees, was also gunned down ... losing his life after trying to stop Card.

As you know, Card also injured 13 people during his murder spree -- his Bowdoin, ME home was surrounded by police Thursday night, but he wasn't home. A manhunt is still underway for him, as local gun stores have seen a huge uptick in sales of firearms and ammo in response.

'Walking Dead' Actor Erik Jensen Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer

Published | Updated

"The Walking Dead" actor Erik Jensen has been diagnosed with stage four cancer ... this according to his wife, who has started a GoFundMe to help cover the rising costs.

Erik's wife, Jessica Blank, said on the fundraiser her husband has stage four colorectal cancer ... and his diagnosis is coming a year and a half after he survived a brain aneurysm.

She says Erik's cancer "has metastasized to his liver," but his doctors "have a shot at shrinking the tumors enough to do two very major surgeries and get them all out" ... adding how strong and resilient her husband is.

Jessica points out that Erik, like countless other actors like him, has been financially affected by the "lack of streaming residuals" over the years ... not to mention the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which has shut down most of Hollywood.

She says they have mountains of medical costs, and now Erik's facing "serious risk" of losing SAG insurance ... which is why she's asking for his fans to help in any way they can.

It seems like folks have already been supporting Erik during his health crisis -- he's received over $97k in a week, with a goal of $300k.

Fans of the AMC series remember Erik portraying Steven Edwards, a doctor working at the post-apocalyptic medical facility, Grady Memorial Hospital. He's also worked on projects like "Mr. Robot," "The Equalizer," "Chicago P.D.," and "CSI."
