RIP

Hillary Clinton paid her respects and read dozens of memorials Friday at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando.

The presidential candidate delivered a bouquet of white roses before sitting down with the families of the 49 mass shooting victims.

Ex-NFL head coach Denny Green died Friday morning at the age of 67, his friend confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Green reportedly died from cardiac arrest.

Green coached in the NFL from 1992 to 2006 ... famously leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 15-1 record in 1998.

He later went on to coach the Arizona Cardinals -- and, after losing a game to the Bears, gave one of the most famous post-game comments in Monday Night Football History.

"The Bears are who we THOUGHT they were! That's why we took the damn field! Now if you want to crown them, then crown their ass! But they are who we thought they were! And we let 'em off the hook!"

3 coaches who worked under Green went on to become head coaches in the NFL -- Tony Dungy, Mike Tice and Brian Billick.

AZ Cardinals president Michael Bidwell issued a statement saying, "All of us at the Cardinals are incredibly saddened by the news of Dennis Green's passing."

"Coach Green will rightly be remembered as a true innovator, leader and pioneer among football coaches. We express our deepest sympathy to his family and his many friends."

7:30 PM PT -- Rihanna's concert has been cancelled, along with a jazz festival that was scheduled to begin Saturday in Nice.

Rihanna was in Nice -- preparing for a concert -- when a terrorist shot and drove over more than 80 people ... TMZ has learned.

Rihanna is scheduled to perform in the French city on Friday night, but that's all up in the air in the wake of Thursday's tragedy ... where a man drove a huge truck through Bastille Day crowds celebrating France's independence.

He also opened fire on civilians and police before he was taken out.

Our sources say Rihanna's people are trying to get her out of the city ASAP, out of an abundance of caution.

It's unclear if her show at Nice's Allianz Riviera Stadium will go on as planned.

A woman trained a camera on her boyfriend as he succumbed to multiple wounds after being shot by a cop.

Philando Castile was driving with Lavish Reynolds in Falcon Heights, Minnesota Wednesday when his car was pulled over ... she says for a broken taillight.

The video starts just after the shooting, but according to Reynolds, the officer asked Castile for his license and registration. She says Castile told the cop he had a pistol on him that was registered, and when he reached for his wallet the officer warned him to stop. Reynolds says Castile actually put his hands back up, but the cop shot him 4 or 5 times.

Castile died after being taken to a local hospital.

The cop says on video, "I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out."

Scout -- the pitbull terrier who became a viral sensation for balancing just about anything on his head -- has gone where all dogs eventually go.

Scout's owner, Jen Gillen, tells TMZ the 12-year-old dog became extremely sick. He suffered from seizures and had a tumor removed. He also battled diabetes.

Jen tried keeping Scout alive, but it got to a point where he couldn't eat or drink, so he was euthanized last week.

RIP Scout, and say hi to God.

NBA player Glen "Big Baby" Davis says he knew Alton Sterling -- the man killed on video by police in Baton Rouge -- and tells TMZ Sports he was a "Great guy" who "wouldn't hurt a fly."

Davis -- who grew up in Baton Rouge -- met "Big Alton" years ago and would sometimes give him CDs to sell to help promote Davis' music. Davis says it wasn't just promotion, but it was a way to help Alton make a living for his family.

Davis says the two got to know each other -- and he has nothing but glowing words for the 37-year-old.

"Great guy, big personality. CDs were his way to make income to support his family. Not a guy who would use violence at all."

Sterling's shooting has reignited the national conversation about police brutality, and with protests in Baton Rouge threatening to spiral out of control ... Davis urged athletes from the area to get involved to help keep the peace.

Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend who killed herself wrote in a suicide note she did not want to go on after their breakup, saying, "I'm just not for this world."

TMZ has obtained documents which outline the suicide note written by Cathriona White, who fatally OD'd on multiple prescription meds back in Sept. 2015, shortly after Carrey broke up with her.

White wrote to Jim, "I've spent 3 days now in disbelief that you're not here. I can go on brokenhearted and try to put the pieces back. I could, I just don't have the will this time." She goes on, "I'm sorry you felt I wasn't there for you. I tried to give you my best part."

Sources close to Jim say they were not broken up ... merely taking a break from each other.

White becomes matter of fact, telling Jim, "I don't really know about burial or that sort of thing. You are my family so whatever you choose will be fine."

She adds, "Please forgive me. I'm just not for this world."

According to official docs, it appears White took some of Carrey's meds. Police found a text on her phone from Jim, asking where his painkillers for his back went, noting they were missing from under the sink. We're also told she had been taking painkillers in the weeks leading up to her death ... painkillers that were prescribed to her after a surgical procedure.

We're told White had tried to kill herself with pills in 2012 after her dad died, and she committed suicide on the third anniversary of her dad's death.
