12:54 PM PT -- It's being reported the 2 people inside the vehicle died.
12:11 PM PT -- Video has now surfaced allegedly showing the moment the vehicle slammed into the border checkpoint, immediately bursting into flames. One witness told a local outlet the vehicle was traveling at a very high rate of speed. Injuries are still unknown.
A car inexplicably blew up at the U.S.-Canadian border near Niagara Falls -- and now, all points of entry are closed as law enforcement swarms the scene to investigate.
The explosion happened Wednesday as a vehicle was crossing into America from up North, and happened at a key checkpoint linking the two countries -- The Rainbow Bridge ... where it went up in flames.
Of course, there was a shockwave too ... and people filmed the aftermath in utter disbelief. Local and federal officials -- including the FBI, are currently on scene. It's unclear who might've been in the car and what sort of injuries were sustained, but the damage to the vehicle involved is significant.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a statement in the immediate aftermath, saying ... "At my direction, the New York State Police is actively working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force to monitor all points of entry to New York. I am traveling to Buffalo to meet with law enforcement and emergency responders and will update New Yorkers when more information becomes available."
The nearby Buffalo Niagara International Airport is also beefing up its security protocols out of an abundance of caution.

There's a mystery illness going around affecting dogs all over the country -- and it can turn deadly if owners aren't careful -- which is why one vet has a lot of good advice to offer.
Dr. Lindsey Ganzer -- a longtime vet and the CEO of North Springs Veterinary Referral Center in Colorado -- explained what people can do for their pooches as this inexplicable disease circulates throughout the U.S. and puts doggos under the weather.

Dr. Ganzer has a good explanation for what this new illness is and what it isn't -- notably, she says while it starts out by resembling kennel cough ... it can end up taking a slightly more sinister turn by plaguing canines with pneumonia, if it goes untreated.
Those extreme instances aren't that common ... but it's certainly something to be mindful of. Dr. Ganzer says the scientific community is trying to pinpoint exactly what this is, and whether it's bacterial or not. But, in any case, she has some tips on how to keep dogs healthy.

Drew Brees 'My Right Arm Does Not Work'
One of the greatest right arms in the history of sports no longer works.
Drew Brees made the shocking revelation this week ... admitting he can't throw overhand anymore.
"Look," the future Hall of Famer said on Tuesday on ESPN Radio. "I'll let you in on a little fact. I don't throw with my right arm anymore. My right arm does not work. So, when I throw in the backyard right now, I throw left-handed."
Hold up…Drew Brees is a lefty now? (No, not clickbait)

Great story from @drewbrees about how his famous shoulder injury in 2005 still impacts him today. pic.twitter.com/7xKXi99aZ9
Brees said on the show it all stems from the devastating shoulder injury he suffered while playing for the San Diego Chargers during the 2005 season.
You'll recall, following a fumble, Brees fell awkwardly on his throwing arm ... dislocating his shoulder and tearing up several important pieces of his body in the process.

Docs were able to fix him ... and he went on to have one of the best NFL careers ever with the New Orleans Saints -- but he said he's reeling from it all now.
The former quarterback said he's suffering from a "degenerative shoulder" ... as well as "all kinds of arthritic changes."
Brees then revealed if he could somehow get it to work -- he "would absolutely still be playing."
The 44-year-old added that, thankfully, he is able to be somewhat athletic with his right arm still ... saying at least pickleball isn't out of the equation at this point.
"I can play pickleball because it's below the waist," he said.
"But anything above my shoulders," he continued, "I've got a hard time with."

Aaron Rodgers I Feel Guilty About Wilson Benching ... I Should've Been Playing!!!
Aaron Rodgers feels badly about how things played out for benched backup Zach Wilson ... admitting he's "disappointed and sad" the young quarterback didn't get to sit back and learn from him this season.
The former No. 2 overall pick recently lost his starting gig to Tim Boyle after struggling to find a rhythm as Rodgers recovers from his Achilles injury ... and during the four-time MVP's appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," he said he has guilt about the situation.
"I feel for Zach, I love Zach." Rodgers said. "Zach's such a great kid and I do think he still has a bright future in the league."
NY Jets Bench QB Zach Wilson After Another Bad Loss, Will Start Tim Boyle
Rodgers believes it's more fair to throw blame on the whole team than just on Zach ... but ultimately, it was time to find a spark on offense.
"This is disappointing, I have some personal guilt around the whole thing," he added. "I mean, I'm pissed I wasn't able to play and frustrated that if I was out there, and I feel like I'd be playing well, there would be obviously different narratives around our team and Zach would have the opportunity to learn and grow and see what it looks like without the pressure on and being able to sit in those meetings and go through the season and just kind of watch me and my process."
Rodgers said the team will continue to support both Zach and Tim moving forward ... but reiterated it's not all Wilson's fault the team is sitting at 4-6.
As for his own recovery, Rodgers said things continue to go well as he runs more on the treadmill ... but he still doesn't have a set return date just yet.

'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Son in Hospital, Under CPS Care ... After Running Away Again

The teenage son of "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans is hospitalized after running away once again, and this time Child Protective Services is taking custody of Jace ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us, Jenelle's 14-year-old son ran away from his grandmother's home Saturday, and wasn't found until 11:45 PM Sunday. Jace had previously run away from Jenelle's home several times and was placed under the care of Jenelle's mom, Barbara.
Our sources say Jace is now in a hospital, and CPS will place him in foster care as he's run away so many times.
Our sources say Jace, was recently busted for vaping at his school ... and when grandma found out, she took away his phone. We're told Barbara had been advised by Jenelle, CPS and the foster care team not to give Jace a phone in the first place, but she thought he could handle it.
When Barbara took the phone away as punishment, we're told Jace split, prompting this latest search for the teen.
Running away has become a trend with Jace ... as we've reported, this is at least the fourth time he's run away from home ... including the time in September when he slipped out a window on the same day Jenelle's husband, David Eason, is accused of roughing him up.
Remember ... Jace spent most of his childhood in Barbara's care, but Jenelle regained custody earlier this year, only for him to run away from home a bunch of times, and end up at Barbara's house again.
As we told you a couple weeks ago, Jace is keeping his distance from Jenelle and David.
Our sources say CPS officials are exasperated by the case -- they're worried about Jace, but at this stage, if he gets in any more trouble, he could end up in a juvenile detention facility.

Estrella de "Teen Mom" Su hijo está en el hospital y bajo cuidado de protección infantil

El hijo adolescente de la estrella de "Teen Mom", Jenelle Evans, se encuentra hospitalizado después de huir nuevamente y esta vez los Servicios de Protección Infantil (CPS) están tomando la custodia de Jace, según ha indagado TMZ.
Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que el hijo de 14 años de Jenelle se escapó de la casa de su abuela el sábado y no fue encontrado hasta las 11:45 PM del domingo. Jace ya se había escapado de la casa de Jenelle varias veces y fue puesto bajo el cuidado de su madre, Barbara.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que ahora Jace está en un hospital y los servicios de protección infantil lo colocarán al cuidado de un tercero, luego de haberse escapado tantas veces.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que Jace fue arrestado recientemente por fumar a través de un vaporizador en su escuela y cuando la abuela se enteró, le quitó su teléfono. Nos cuentan que Barbara había sido aconsejada por Jenelle, los servicios de protección social y el equipo de cuidado de crianza, que no le dieran un teléfono a Jace en primera instancia, pero ella pensó que podía manejarlo.
Cuando le quitó el teléfono como castigo, Jace se separó, lo que provocó esta última fuga y la posterior búsqueda del adolescente.
Huir se ha convertido en una tendencia para el chico, como hemos informado, esta es al menos la cuarta vez que lo hace, incluyendo la vez una en septiembre cuando se deslizó por una ventana el mismo día en que el marido de Jenelle, David Eason, fue acusado de maltratarlo.
Recuerden, Jace pasó la mayor parte de su infancia al cuidado de Barbara, pero Jenelle recuperó la custodia a principios de este año. Desde entonces se ha escapado un montón de veces, lo que llevó a que terminara en la casa de Barbara de nuevo.
Como ya les contamos hace un par de semanas, Jace está manteniendo la distancia con Jenelle y David.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que los funcionarios de CPS están exasperados por el caso, preocupados por Jace, pero en esta etapa, si se mete en más problemas, podría terminar en una correccional de menores.
L.A. Lakers Fan Injures Himself At Game ... Grasps At Leg During Shooting Contest
An L.A. Lakers fan not only lost out on $55,000 during a shooting contest at Sunday's game ... he also might have seriously injured his leg in the process.
The wild scene happened during a break in the action at Crytpo.com Arena ... when Lakers officials set up a game where a fan named Anthony could've scored a ton of cash if he hit a half-court shot.
Anthony initially seemed super confident he'd get the job done ... telling an in-arena host, "This is what I do."
No way this Lakers fan injured himself on the halfcourt shot 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/hhWz6Wxy8y

A short time later, however, everyone in the building quickly learned this is not what Anthony does.
Check out footage from the contest ... as Anthony released the ball, he somehow hurt his left leg -- and he was hurting so much, he ultimately crumpled to the floor.
While the in-arena host attempted to get him to come back to make another attempt at earning money ... Anthony was in simply too much pain to continue.
"Let's put our hands together for the attempt," the host said as officials walked Anthony off the court.
It's unclear how badly the fan was injured ... although he at least got to go home somewhat happy -- as his team was able to finish off the Rockets, 105-104, later in the evening.

Browns Legend Josh Cribbs I Don't Have Confidence In DTR He's Gotta Prove Himself!!!

Cleveland Browns legend Josh Cribbs is a bit uneasy with his former team's current quarterback situation after Deshaun Watson went down for the season ... telling TMZ Sports he doesn't have confidence in backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson until he proves he can handle the gig.
Of course, the 6-3 Browns are without their $230 million man for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign due to a shoulder injury ... which means they'll try to keep their hopes alive with DTR under center.
The former UCLA signal-caller saw the field in Week 4 against the Ravens ... and it wasn't great -- he threw for only 121 yards, tossed three interceptions and was sacked four times.
With that being said, Cribbs is somewhat cautious going into Sunday's game against the Steelers ... saying he may not be too high on DTR yet, but he has faith in the team as a whole.
"I rely on action, on stats -- as of now I don't have confidence into DTR until he goes out there and proves it," Cribbs says. "He has a great opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of his fanbase and the eyes of his teammates."
"His teammates are charged to believe in him wholeheartedly and go out there and win, but the fans are not," he adds. "So, I have faith in the Browns team that they can get the job done."
"So, if we can put it all off of DTR's hands, to say I don't just believe in DTR. I believe in the team because it's gonna take more than DTR. Even if he just simply hands the ball off every single play, it's gonna be up to the team to dictate how this game goes, as well as Coach Kevin Stefanski."
Cribbs commends the Browns and Stefanski for coming up with new ways to get the job done despite dealing with numerous injuries this season -- including Nick Chubb and Jack Conklin to name a few -- and he's not ready to draw the curtains on their Super Bowl chances ... even making a Jurassic Park reference to get his point across.
As for the players, Cribbs tells us he's got a good pulse on how the vibes are in the locker room ... saying he spoke with cornerback Greg Newsome II recently, and he explained how the guys are able to stay level-headed no matter what happens on the field.
There's more -- Cribbs also spoke highly of Watson ... praising the former Pro Bowler for putting his "heart and soul" into the team before the injury.
He also says he hopes his critics don't kick him when he's down ... saying it's unfair to go after Watson over the ailment.

Jerome Ford says Kareem Hunt deserves big-time props for helping the Browns keep things together following Nick Chubb's devastating injury ... telling TMZ Sports the guy "brought the juice back" after Cleveland's star RB went down.
Ford went in-depth with us on the state of the Browns earlier this week following the team's big win over the Ravens ... and he made it clear to us that Hunt has played a huge role in Cleveland keeping the wheels on despite the loss of Chubb -- both on and off the field.
"When Nick left," Ford said, "it left a gap in the running back room. And Kareem came in and -- I really don't know how to explain it other than to say that he brought the juice back."
You'll recall, after Chubb tore up his knee against the Steelers on Sept. 18 ... Cleveland turned to Hunt on Sept. 20 to bolster its RB corps.
And, according to Ford, the roster move changed everything.

"He came in, joking and playing," Ford said. "And he gave us the juice that we needed to kind of, like, 'Yeah, Nick's down, but we gotta keep pushing.'"
The Browns are 5-2 since Hunt joined the squad ... and in those seven contests, he's scored six total touchdowns.
Ford says Chubb, meanwhile, is doing well in his recovery ... and helping out whenever he can.
The Cleveland tailback -- who spoke with us just before news of Deshaun Watson's season-ending injury -- also insisted the Browns have a serious drive to be great this season ... saying, "People don't realize how much we want it."

Olympics Star Suni Lee I Gained 45 Pounds ... Due To Kidney Illness
Suni Lee -- the Olympics star who won gold in Tokyo in 2020 -- just revealed her kidney issues this year caused her to gain 45 pounds.
The 5-foot gymnast made the revelation in an interview with USA Today this week ... just a few months after she left Auburn to get a handle on the ailment.
"I couldn't fit into any of my clothes," Lee told the outlet. "My eyes were swollen shut. It was just so scary."
Thankfully, Lee says she's doing better now ... and, according to USA Today, she looks "very much like the gymnast" who competed in the Games nearly three years ago.
"I haven't had a really bad day in a while," Lee said. "But in the beginning it was like I was waking up swollen. My fingers were so swollen they wouldn’t fit into my grips and I couldn't hold on to the bar."
She added, "My whole body was swollen because I was retaining water, so I couldn’t do a flip. … So it was really different and I had to learn how to work through it."

Lee said she's made some changes to her diet -- eliminating a lot of her sodium intake -- which has allowed her to reignite her pursuit of more medals at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
"We're still working on trying to figure out how to balance all of it because I do have good days and bad days," Lee said. "But with the good days I just take advantage of what I'm able to do, and on the bad days I just do basics and try and stay as safe as possible."
The Olympic trials begin in June in Minneapolis.

Suni Lee, la estrella olímpica que ganó el oro en Tokio 2020, acaba de revelar que los problemas renales que ha sufrido este año la hicieron engordar 20 kilos (45 libras).
La gimnasta de 1,70 metros hizo la revelación en una entrevista con USA Today esta semana, apenas unos meses después de que dejara Auburn para controlar la dolencia.
"No me cabía la ropa", le dijo Lee al medio. "Tenía los ojos hinchados. Estaba muy asustada".
Afortunadamente, Lee dijo que está mejor ahora y, según USA Today, se parece "mucho a la gimnasta" que compitió en los Juegos Olímpicos hace casi tres años.
"Hacía tiempo que no tenía un día realmente malo", dijo Lee. "Pero al principio era como si me despertara hinchada. Tenía los dedos tan hinchados que no me cabían en las empuñaduras y no podía agarrarme a la barra".
Añadió: "Todo mi cuerpo estaba hinchado porque estaba reteniendo agua, así que no podía hacer una voltereta. ... Fue realmente diferente y tuve que aprender a trabajar con ello".

Rosalynn Carter Former First Lady in Hospice Care
Rosalynn Carter, the former first lady and wife of former President Jimmy Carter, is in hospice care at the family's Georgia home.
Rosalynn is 96 years old and earlier this year she was diagnosed with dementia. It's been a rough year for the Carters ... back in January, the 99-year-old former Prez also started receiving hospice care.
In a statement Friday, the Carter Center says Rosalynn and Jimmy "are spending time with each other and their family. The Carter family continues to ask for privacy and remains grateful for the outpouring of love and support."
The Carters live in Plains, Georgia ... where they were both born and raised.
Rosalynn and Jimmy have been married for 77 years, they got hitched way back in 1946 ... and she served as First Lady from 1977 to 1981 during Jimmy's 4 years in the White House.
In September, their grandson Josh Carter told PEOPLE Rosalynn and Jimmy were "in the final chapter" of their lives.
