Oprah Winfrey was MIA from CBS this week, despite previously being announced as a guest to plug a new book -- and the reason is simple ... she was pooping and barfing.

O's bestie Gayle King got a little TMI during "CBS Mornings" Tuesday -- where she and the other anchors were hosting author David Wroblewski ... who's got a new book out that Oprah trotted out as the latest addition to her famed book club.

Gayle explained Oprah's absence -- saying she'd caught a bad stomach bug that landed her in the hospital. Then, a bit more detail about how it was affecting her ... and it's gnarly.

Dwayne didn't exactly clarify how he sustained the ailment ... although he joked, "Anytime your film is called 'The Smashing Machine,' well, you're kind of going to get smashed up."

The bull that went on a wild rampage at an Oregon rodeo on Saturday night will NOT be euthanized ... TMZ Sports has learned it's been sent back to its home ranch instead.

Brian Witt -- VP of Sisters Rodeo -- tells us the plan is for the animal, nicknamed "Party Bus," to receive further training at the farm to prevent a similar incident in the future. Witt says the bull will take the rest of the year off from bucking ... and if it receives proper clearance, it could potentially return to shows at a later date.

The news will surprise many ... considering Party Bus left multiple people injured when it leaped over fencing and wreaked havoc at the sold-out 84th Sisters Rodeo in Deschutes County.

Two people ended up in the hospital after a small floatplane collided with a pleasure boat in Vancouver -- and the video footage is jaw-dropping ... 'cause it uses the vessel like a ramp.

Check out the chaos unfold from Saturday -- the Harbour Air floatplane was prepping for takeoff when it collided with the boat, not able to lift up off the water in time ... and the impact was so intense, it sent the boat spinning towards the plane before it started sinking.

BTW ... there's another angle of the impact, and it's just as dramatic watching it from the back.

Carrie Underwood capped off her concert this weekend by belting out tunes in the rain -- but there was an even more dramatic finish as she was exiting the stage ... 'cause she fell.

The singer was the headlining performance Sunday night at the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach -- where she put on one helluva show that ended up getting highlighted by the fact there was a downpour that seemed to come out of nowhere toward the end.

As much of a spectacle as that was ... there was something else that caught fans' attention as Carrie was making her way offstage -- and that would be her going down, seemingly hard. Even crazier is the fact that it was caught on video ... and we got a hold of the footage.

Adrien Broner wasn't without one of his front teeth for long after it was knocked out during his fight with Blair Cobbs ... the boxing star revealed on Sunday he's already replaced the missing chomper!

Wrestling star Jordynne Grace lost a chunk of her ear during a match Sunday night -- and while a lot of the sport is scripted ... it's clear as day there was nothing fake about the gruesome ailment she suffered.

It all happened during Grace's NXT Women’s Championship Match against Roxanne Perez ... when at one point in the tilt, Jordynne's earring got caught in her opponent's fishnets.

You can see as Grace pulled away from Perez, the jewelry didn't go with her ... and ripped out of her ear. It left her bloodied -- and in a world of pain, too.

Chris Hansen's not supporting surgically castrating child predators ... arguing he's not sure it'll put an end to their criminal acts -- or if it'll stand up in a court of law.

We spoke with the "To Catch a Predator" host earlier this week and asked him about the controversial bill passed in Louisiana allowing judges to impose surgical castration on certain child predators ... and, he tells us he's pretty leery of the whole thing.

Hansen says he's met a ton of alleged predators over the years -- on 'Catch' and his new show 'Takedown' on streaming platform TruBlu -- and, he doesn't think surgically castrating them will stop them from abusing children.

Turnage said Thompson was able to come to ... and now, his "prognosis is good."

6/7 -- 10:20 AM PT -- TMZ Sports talked to Jorge Masvidal's boxing coach Jorge Capetillo -- who was front and center (JC was rockin' the burgundy t-shirt) when things kicked off on Thursday -- and we asked him about the brawl ... including what led up to the melee, and whether he's okay after the fight.

Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal don't fight for another month, but the action was well underway at their press conference on Thursday ... with "Gamebred" getting in the middle of a violent scuffle.

It all went down in Anaheim just minutes ago ... shortly after Diaz stormed off the stage without doing a ceremonial face-off with his opponent.
