Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez stepped out for a fancy dinner date in Cannes on Sunday ... and this time it was the actual power couple, and not the doppelgängers who tricked a lot of people days ago!

The high-profile duo was snapped as they made their way to the marina ... JB looking like a boss as he rocked a crisp button-down and shades, while his bride-to-be sizzled in a flirty ivory mini-dress and heels.

As we previously reported, the billionaire pair made headlines after a couple who looked a heck of a lot like them strutted down the festival red carpet for the premiere of "Dossier 137."

Conservative commentator Michael Knowles says concerns about an extravagant gift from a foreign country for President Donald Trump's use are overblown, and that what some are calling a bribe is actually just a great deal on a necessary replacement item.

Knowles -- a longtime podcast host at Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire -- was on "TMZ Live" Wednesday to discuss a controversial gift from the government of Qatar to President Trump ... a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet Trump plans to convert for use as Air Force One, the official presidential airliner.

Knowles jokes his primary complaint is that it's not a nicer plane ... he questions why people are upset over a simple gift to the government -- adding we just need to "slap some new paint on the side." Free is a generously good deal, he says.

Donald Trump’s not sweating homesickness on his Saudi Arabia trip -- he’s got the ultimate fast track to American comfort ... McDonald’s.

As seen in this clip from a journalist in Riyadh, a mobile McDonald’s was brought in just in case Trump’s cravings kicked in -- because we all know he’s got a well-documented, deep-fried love for the fast-food chain.

The double-decker trailer was parked outside a media hub called "Media Oasis," where journalists were hosted. As of now, it’s unclear if the President's already stopped by for a Happy Meal, or is planning to chow down later.

Donald Trump’s online, bragging about a "flying palace" -- a luxury plane gifted from Qatar’s royal family slated to serve as one of the presidential Air Force One fleet of jumbo jets ... but it’s causing a stir, since accepting foreign gifts like that is legally questionable.

The $400 million Boeing 747-8 -- AKA the world’s biggest plane -- could be Trump’s new Air Force One for the rest of his term ... and it’s being called one of the priciest gifts ever from a foreign power to the U.S.

Trump posted on Truth Social: "So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!!"

A retired United Airlines pilot has some serious safety concerns regarding a busy airport in New Jersey ... and he's got a message for the federal government.

Tom Mannello joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and we asked him if it's safe to fly into Newark Liberty International Airport in the wake of air traffic controllers experiencing radar outages.

The former commercial pilot says it's only moderately safe to fly into Newark these days ... explaining why staffing shortages, budgets, construction and Mother Nature are all contributing to issues for air travelers.

A couple check-in desk agents got terminated from their gigs with Frontier Airlines after mocking a customer who was trying to check in for his flight ... getting the boot after video of their tense exchange went viral.

Footage circulating online shows a Frontier customer trying to check in at the ticket counter for a flight from North Carolina to Boston ... and things go south when the agents mention a $25 fee to check in with them in person.

The guy balks at the fee and the Frontier employees start arguing, refusing to check him in, mocking him and repeatedly telling him, "And you thought you was gonna get on your flight."

Dave Portnoy isn't joking around about an antisemitic sign that appeared in one of his bars last night ... posting a video screaming about how upset he is -- and promising everyone involved is going to be educated.

The Barstool Sports founder took to social media Sunday to address a viral video going around of a waitress at Barstool Sansom Street in Philadelphia holding a sign which reads, in all caps, "F*** THE JEWS."

Dave explains the sign isn't something a staff member came up with ... but one provided when you purchase bottle service -- with a message the buyer crafts.

A few golfers got the surprise of their lives during a round on Friday when a plane made an emergency landing just feet from where they were teeing off ... and video from the scene is terrifying.

It all went down at around 1 PM at the iconic Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles ... when an aircraft reportedly battling engine issues was forced to touch down on one of the course's fairways.

Check out some footage a golfer filmed as it barreled toward the grass ... it skidded across the ground several times before it somehow made a safe stop near a sand trap.

It's Ana de Armas' birthday Wednesday, and she appears to be celebrating with her new rumored boo Tom Cruise ... the pair were spotted landing in London yesterday in a helicopter piloted by the 'Mission: Impossible' daredevil himself.

The dynamic duo was all smiles as they were deposited on a helipad Tuesday, and Ana had her two pooches with her along for the ride. She looked sporty-casual in shorty-shorts, a hoodie and sneakers, rocking classic black shades.

Check out the video ... her action-hero possible paramour was clad in classic dark colors, wearing a navy T-shirt accentuating his muscular arms, dark jeans, and black boots, carrying a black backpack.

New video shows the moment of impact in a fatal boat crash in Florida ... and audio reveals the distressing "mayday" calls.

Footage released Monday shows the Clearwater Ferry chugging along in the waters near the Clearwater Memorial Causeway Bridge when a recreational vessel comes racing into frame ... crashing into the ferry from behind.

The recreational boat appears to override the ferry ... almost like a monster truck driving over cars and crushing them underneath.

Six police officers died in a plane crash in Thailand Friday -- and the harrowing incident was all caught on video.

Check it out ... the small plane is seen plunging out of the sky near the Thai beach town of Hua Hin, but as it nosedives into the ocean, the witness shuts off their camera, and we don't see the impact.

Other videos show first responders fishing a body out of the water, and aerial footage shot from another plane shows the wreckage in the water.

Katy Perry's "Lifetimes" tour has officially blasted off, and it’s nothing short of intergalactic -- 'cause she was straight back at it in Mexico City after her controversial all-female trip to space.

The singer was clearly orbiting the cosmic theme as she shut down Arena CDMX on Wednesday, even getting up close and personal with sky-high, ahem, *die-hard* fans who showed up in full NASA gear to back their girl.

Katy's stage was straight outta the future -- complete with space-age vibes and plenty of air time, thanks to those harnesses that had her literally floating through her set.

Another airplane flight, another scare -- this time with fire and thick smoke pouring out of a plane engine ... thankfully, while still on the tarmac.

The whole thing was caught on camera by stunned onlookers -- Delta Flight 1213, set to take off from Orlando International Airport en route to Atlanta Monday morning, went up in flames, with video showing an engine fire blazing.

Passengers were spotted sliding down the inflatable slides to safety as fire rescue crews rushed in to douse the fire.

Haley Joel Osment revealed his plans to go up to Mammoth Lakes, California for a much-needed vacation days before he was arrested earlier this month ... telling Andy Richter he wanted to give his loving sister a break from him and his dogs.

Here's the deal ... Osment chatted with Richter on his podcast "The Three Questions with Andy Richter" -- and, the two discussed Haley's house burning down in the Eaton Fire during L.A.'s January wildfires.

The episode was published April 15, but it was recorded days before Osment was arrested -- and used a slur for a Jewish person -- in Mammoth on April 8 ... 'cause he actually says he's going up to the area with his dogs in the coming days.

The chopper used in the ill-fated New York City tour that crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday was once featured in a safety video for the tour company ... and it's now quite unsettling to watch.

The eerie video is on the company’s homepage ... under a section titled "Why Choose Us" where its purported safety record is touted while showing the ill-fated chopper being inspected, according to FOX News.

As TMZ reported ... the Bell 206L-4 LongRanger IV came apart midair and plummeted into the water, killing all aboard -- the same make and model that was seen crashing into the water from multiple angles.

The pilot of the helicopter that went down in New York City's Hudson River Thursday was a former Navy SEAL who dreamed of flying ... so says his wife, about 24 hours after the crash.

Kathryn Johnson confirmed to Gothamist that her husband, Seankese Johnson -- who went by Sean -- was flying the Bell 206 helicopter when its rotor blades flew off, and it spun out of the sky ... crashing into the water below and killing all six people aboard.

Sean had recently moved to New York City to continue his pilot career ... and, Kathryn says she's at a loss for words about the crash -- adding it's a very difficult time for her.
