28-year-old Kiarra Jones is facing 2 counts of crimes against at-risk children in Denver after she got busted on April 4 ... when a little boy's parents reported he came home with bruises one day -- this after months of inexplicable injuries that would surface on his body.

Cops say they got their hands on the bus surveillance footage -- which has been making the rounds online ... and it's best to watch at your own discretion, as it shows a brutal attack.

A United Airlines passenger was rattled after she watched a window get replaced on her flight moments before taking off ... by none other than what appears to be one of the pilots.

The passenger -- a self-described toddler expert named Kristin -- documented the experience on her IG Story Sunday ... filming what appeared to be the flight's pilot fixing the interior side of one window, this before her plane from Denver to Dallas was due to hit the sky.

She wrote ... "They are literally replacing a window with all of us just chilling and sitting here waiting to take off?!?!?!"

A music festival in Texas that was entirely dedicated to the solar eclipse is now getting scrapped entirely -- and the reason is a little freaky ... an omen, even, perhaps.

The event is called Texas Eclipse 2024 ... a 5-day get-together in Burnet, TX -- which seems to be very much in the vein of Burning Man ... which you can sense from all their marketing and promotional material, not to mention all the pics and vids they have up on socials.

All was well for these past few days ... however, on Monday, the festival organizers broke some startling news -- namely, their whole event was just canceled over crappy weather.

A Boeing 737 had to quickly brake when the plane's engine looked like it was starting to fall apart ... and the whole ordeal was caught on video.

The Southwest Airlines flight, heading from Denver to Houston, took off Sunday morning ... when some of the passengers noticed a piece of metal ripped off the side of the plane and flapped around as the plane began its takeoff.

Check out the video ... the engine cowling covering the sides of the giant turbine flies up, seemingly only held together by a few strands of stray metal -- at first, not slowing down the jet one bit.

Alex Jones is living it up in Hawaii, chillin' by the pool and downing drinks ... even though his massive debt to the families of Sandy Hook victims remains unpaid.

Eyewitnesses on the island of Kaui tell TMZ ... the controversial podcaster was at a ritzy resort earlier this week with his wife Erika, and they didn't appear to have any other family or friends hanging with them.

Jones was dressed pretty relaxed for his tropical vacay ... sticking to t-shirts and shorts while he hung around the hotel pool and bar area.

Gerry Turner and his wife Theresa Nist made their long-distance relationship just a tad bit closer this week ... cuddling up after it came out that they were living apart.

The 'Golden Bachelor' stars appear to be hanging out right now -- with TN sharing a short video to her Instagram Story Friday ... where Gerry tossed an arm over her shoulder at a restaurant, where they were joined by a bunch of other people, who appear like past constants and some friends.

Our sources say Theresa had plans to visit Gerry in Indiana this week ... although it's not clear if this clip is from that scheduled trip, or something else entirely. Either way, the two seem very happy to be together again -- which may put those pesky split rumors to bed.

Diddy might be in hot water at the moment, but his daughters were in much calmer waters a world away this week -- enjoying their Spring Break with LeBron James' teenage son.

16-year-old Bryce James was featured in a video that's making the rounds online -- which shows him and a pal of his, Boogie Johnson, enjoying the ocean in Turks and Caicos ... and in the little dance compilation that got posted (and which has since been deleted), you can see Jessie and D'Lila Combs in the mix as well.

The girls and their matching bathing suits are unmistakable -- especially when you consider Bryce and the twins are quite close ... he and Boogie took them to homecoming last year. In fact, Boogie's got photos up with one of the twins on his social media page ... so yeah, it's a tight-knit friend group -- and it appears they're vacationing together right now.

A woman had a cartoonish meltdown on a Spirit Airlines flight -- and while cops were trying to remove her ... she tried invoking the name of George Floyd.

This video is making the rounds online, which captures an incident on a Spirit plane from March 23 -- which seems to have been in the process of taking off from Vegas. Unclear what happened that led to the ruckus, but right from the get-go in the clip ... cops are on hand.

You can see the police put one handcuff on her as the woman protests, and when they tell her she's under arrest -- she says that's fine ... noting she's "been there before."

Este video, que captura un incidente en un avión de Spirit el 23 de marzo, se está haciendo viral en las redes, y al parecer muestra el momento del despegue del vuelo desde Las Vegas. No está claro qué fue lo que llevó a la bronca, pero desde el principio del clip, se puede ver a los policías tratando de contenerla.

Se puede ver cómo la policía le pone unas esposas mientras la mujer protesta, y cuando le dicen que está detenida ella dice que está bien, señalando que "ha estado allí antes".

Jennifer Lopez y Ben Affleck se pasearon por la Gran Manzana la semana pasada, e incluso fueron al norte del estado, ¡al que pudieron llegar gracias a su fiel helicóptero privado!

TMZ ha obtenido un video de la pareja saliendo del Copake Country Club en Copake Lake, Nueva York el viernes -un poco más de 100 millas fuera de la ciudad- y lo hicieron con estilo.

Toda la escena fue increíblemente surrealista y honestamente, parecía algo sacado de una película, o incluso un programa de televisión (como "Sucesión") o nos atrevemos a decir, ¿"El Contador"? Ben llevaba un maletín y Jen iba muy preparada para el frío.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were all over the Big Apple last week -- and they even went upstate ... which they were able to get to thanks to a trusty private helicopter!

TMZ has obtained video of the couple departing the Copake Country Club in Copake Lake, NY Friday -- a little more than 100 miles outside of the city -- and they did it in style ... rolling up to the chopper in SUVs, and then being carted down to the landing site from there.

The whole scene was incredibly surreal ... and honestly, it looked like something straight out of a movie, or even a TV show -- a la "Succession" ... or dare we say, "The Accountant?" Ben had a briefcase with him as he and Jen looked super buttoned-up, dressed for the cold.

The amenities on Air Force One are so damn good, journalists apparently can't keep their filthy paws off of them, and are even taking some home ... so says a new report.

The outlet claims it was enough of a problem that the White House Travel Office was alerted ... prompting the WH Correspondents' Association prez to send an email reprimanding her peers. Among the items that were taken ... pillowcases, glasses, and gold-rimmed dinnerware.
