Kenan Thompson It's Knucklepuck Time Again!!! ... Reprises 'Mighty Ducks' Role For P.K. Subban
It's been 29 years since the release of "D2: The Mighty Ducks" -- but it's apparently STILL Knucklepuck Time ... at least, that's the case for P.K. Subban, who recently got to learn the shot from none other than Russ Tyler himself!!!
The former NHL star was on a quest to find the origins of hockey's slapshot for his "P.K.'s Places" ESPN+ show (produced by Omaha Productions) ... so, naturally, he hit up Kenan Thompson -- who played Tyler in the classic 1994 movie -- for a lesson on one of the most famous howitzers ever.
The two pulled up to a rink for the 1-on-1 sesh ... and, check out some of the footage from their time together on the ice, Thompson clearly hasn't lost any of his Russ Tyler magic!!
The 45-year-old teed up a couple pucks to show Subban how the shot was done ... and after a few tries, the ex-New Jersey Devils defenseman got the hang of things.
In fact, by the end of their workout, he was tickling the twine just like Tyler did in the film!!!
Subban ultimately used the knowledge in a hardest shot competition with Chris Chelios on the show ... but was it enough to beat the Hall of Famer in the event? The full "P.K.'s Places" episode drops today!

'GENERAL HOSPITAL' STAR HALEY PULLOS SUED OVER DUI CAR CRASH
-
Exclusive
- 1K shares
"General Hospital" star Haley Pullos is being sued over the car crash from her recent DUI arrest ... the driver she smashed into says it's her fault he went to the hospital.
According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a man named Courtney Wilder claims Haley plowed into his car last month while driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.
Wilder says the car he was driving behind barely swerved to avoid Haley's car as she drove the wrong way on a freeway offramp ... but he claims he didn't have time to react when he saw headlights coming his way and crashed head-on into Haley. He says he ended up getting transported to a hospital in critical condition.
TMZ broke the story ... cops said Haley was driving on a freeway in Pasadena on April 29, when she swerved into oncoming traffic, colliding head-on with another car that cops say was going about 60 mph.
Police say they searched Haley's car and found weed edibles and mini-bottles of tequila ... and she was arrested for felony DUI when she was taken to a hospital. Cops said she reeked of booze, had watery eyes and slurred speech.
The lawsuit also references what we first reported ... cops said Haley hit a firefighter who was assessing her injuries and shouted, "This is a $400 f***ing shirt!" Wilder slams the comment, claiming Haley cared more about an "overpriced shirt" than the safety and well-being of the crash victims.
In the docs, Wilder claims Haley should have stopped driving when she got into a hit-and-run earlier that night ... and he says she never should have been behind the wheel after mixing alcohol with weed edibles.
Wilder says the crash caused lasting injuries to his body and severe damage to his car, which was totaled ... and he's going after Haley for damages.
We reached out to Haley's reps, who had no comment.

Some good health news for Danny Bonaduce -- his brain surgery went off without a hitch -- and now he'll start his road to recovery and hopefully, a better way of living.
Paul Anderson, Danny's longtime pal and agent, tells TMZ ... the actor was under the knife for 2 hours Monday, but everything went really well and everyone's super optimistic about Danny's recovery.
We're told he's expected to be released from the hospital in the next couple of days, but will be doing a lot of resting at home after -- for about 3-4 weeks.
Once he feels well, Paul says everyone expects Danny to be right back at it -- tackling his morning radio show -- and joking the surgery won't affect his quick wit and sense of humor.
The surgery's main goal was to help Danny maintain his balance in getting around every day, something we're told Docs believe will now happen.
TMZ broke the story, Danny went under the knife to combat his recently-diagnosed hydrocephalus -- a neurological disorder caused by liquid buildup in his brain.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Danny filled us in on the scary process that led him to the new discovery, which started as a mystery illness last year.
Danny is also selling his beautiful Seattle home in the midst of the health scare. He told us it's been hard for him to move, and the pad just has too many stairs and rooms to get around safely ... it's now on the market for $1.6 mil.
Here's to a speedy recovery, Danny!

Tyler James Williams 'I'm Not Gay' But Guessing Game Is 'Dangerous' to LGBTQ Members
"Abbott Elementary" star Tyler James Williams is responding to rumors about his sexuality ... and warning that the culture of trying to out people is creating a "dangerous" culture.
Tyler posted a message saying, "I'm not gay," but then quickly explained he's only taking time to address the topic because, "Overanalyzing someone's behavior in an attempt to 'catch' them directly contributes to the anxiety a lot of queer and queer questioning people feel when they fear living in their truth."
It's clear Tyler's read social media posts claiming he exhibits some gay "behavior," and he says that the practice of trying to find some "hidden trait" makes it harder, if not dangerous, for closeted LGBTQ members to be themselves.
His full message is pretty eye-opening, and obviously comes from a place of wanting to remain an ally. He wished everyone "Happy Pride," and added, "I pray that you feel seen in ways that make you feel safe in the celebration that is this month."

Bam Margera Family Says He's Been Located ... After Scary Early AM Texts

4:44 PM PT -- Jess has provided an encouraging update on his brother's whereabouts, saying they've located Bam ... and that he's unharmed. This follows what he says was a scary text sent to him and other Margera family members that he claims sounded suicidal in nature.
10:26 AM PT -- Bam Margera's attorney, Peter Thompson, tells TMZ that Bam came to L.A. -- before going off the radar -- in an attempt to reunite with his son, whom we're told he hasn't seen in 2 months ... without any contact whatsoever.
We're already aware Bam has desperately wanted to touch base with his kid -- and that he's claimed his estranged wife, Nikki, isn't letting that happen -- but now ... Thompson says the separation may have driven Bam to force a meeting in person. Of course, we know Nikki doesn't want that right now -- at least not without Bam entering some kind of rehab program ... Thompson says he isn't sure if Bam is in one or planning to enter one anytime soon. However, he does say he thinks a FaceTime call, at the very least, would go a long way in putting Bam's mind at ease.
He says he was last in contact with him yesterday, and that he's going to try reaching out again to see where he might be.
Bam Margera's family seems to be fearing the worst, and his brother's putting out a Twitter APB to find him before he can harm himself.
Jess Margera tweeted early Sunday morning, "If anyone in the LA area knows of Bams current whereabouts or a hotel he might be at please call the LAPD immediately."
Jess says he's trying to get police to ping Bam's phone in order to find his location, but he's hitting some red tape -- which is why he's asking for everyone to spread the word on Twitter.
As he put it, "I don't think we have that kind of time" to wait for police.
As we reported, the former "Jackass" star had a total meltdown 3 days ago over not being able to see his son, Phoenix, amid his divorce from Nikki ... and vowed to smoke crack until he dies.
One clue to Bam's current whereabouts came in a video TMZ obtained and posted on Saturday.
In the clip, Bam is hanging with some random folks at a Pennsylvania bar and grill. Witnesses say he told them he was getting ready to fly to L.A. to check into rehab.
Jess clearly believes Bam did get on a plane to L.A., but he's not buying the rehab part.

Ye & Ice Cube It's All Good Now ... Hug It Out After Antisemitism Controversy
Kanye West is making peace with Ice Cube ... 7 months after throwing him under the bus by claiming Cube was the one who turned him on to antisemitism.
The 2 rap icons met face-to-face Friday at Cube's home in the L.A. area -- and it definitely looks like they hammered out their differences. They hugged it out as Ye was leaving, and both guys were smiling.
You'll recall, late last year -- after Ye started his antisemitic rants -- he went on "Drink Champs" and claimed Ice Cube's social media posts inspired his dangerous bigotry.
For his part, Cube made it clear he had no idea what Ye was talking about. He tweeted, "I didn't put the batteries in his back. Please leave my name out of all the antisemitic talk. I'm not antisemitic and never have been."
"Drink Champs" eventually deleted the episode ... as it featured Ye making several offensive rants about Jews, Trevor Noah and George Floyd.
Since then Ye has claimed he no longer hates Jewish people, although his explanation for why -- watching Jonah Hill in "21 Jump Street" -- was, at the very least, bizarre ... and, at most, highly offensive.
It's unclear if Ye apologized to Cube -- but whatever was said, they clearly parted on good terms.

Sydney Sweeney My Dad Walked Out ... On My Nude 'Euphoria' Scenes!!!
Sydney Sweeney's dad apparently couldn't stomach his daughter's explicit scenes in "Euphoria" -- which kinda makes sense ... 'cause she bares it all and then some.
The actress dished to "TODAY" about how her folks took her early work on the hit HBO show ... where she's featured fully nude a number of times, not to mention straight-up sex scenes. As she puts it -- her father, Steven, wasn't up to watch his daughter in that context.
She says, "Yeah, I didn’t prepare my dad at all," going to explain that when her pops and grandad initially watched her in "Euphoria" -- presumably season 1 -- they "turned it off and walked out." Sydney rhetorically asked ... "I mean how do you bring up a conversation?"
It's interesting ... it sounds like Sydney looped her mom in on what she was doing on set, saying Lisa was prepped and knew what was coming -- adding that she'd come to visit her daughter on set regularly. Sydney says with her dad ... they just don't talk about work.
BTW, the way Sydney tells it ... it doesn't sound like her father/grandpa watched her in "Euphoria" ever again after seeing her naked -- but adds, her g-ma is a big fan!
Sydney has talked about her raunchy scenes -- of which she's done several between a few different projects of hers now -- and says she's not afraid to go there as an artist ... arguing that she's willing to do whatever the work requires of her, as long as it serves a purpose.
She has said, though, that pervs and trolls are constantly screengrabbing her nude scenes and tagging her family members -- including young cousins -- and she says that sucks.
In any case, she's skyrocketing as far as star power, quickly growing into one of Hollywood's most coveted on-camera talents -- despite off-camera speed bumps now and then.

Pete Davidson Stabs David Blaine with Ice Pick ... Gross, Baffling Magic Trick!!!
David Blaine got an assist from Pete Davidson for a magic trick Friday night at his Las Vegas show, and TMZ has obtained video of the most shocking moment.
Check it out for yourself ... David kicked things off at his Resorts World performance by escorting Pete and his friend from the packed crowd to the stage, where 4 cups were lined up across a table ... and Pete was asked to choose one of the cups ... which contained an object that would be used in the trick.
Pete picked the right cup and David uncovered the scary object -- which was a large ice pick. Pete and his buddy confirmed its sharpness by touching the spike, and told David ... "Yup, you're nuts."
Then, while Pete duct taped David's eyes closed ... Pete's friend arranged 3 of the cups on the table and placed the needle sticking upward under one of them. The now-blindfolded Blaine then put his hands over 2 of the cups, and crushed them -- and while the audience shrieked in horror ... David escaped injury.
Of course, the ice pick was in the 3rd cup ... otherwise, this would be a much different story.
The danger wasn't over, though ... David asked Pete to stab him with the ice pick, and he did -- pushing the needle through David's arm until it came out the other side. The crowd was grossed out, but also impressed ... and, no doubt, confused.
David didn't seem bothered by the ice pick dangling from his arm-- and even brought a boy on stage to have him pull the needle out of his bicep.
Fun times!!

Danny Masterson won't be like all the regular folk behind bars while he awaits sentencing ... we've learned he'll be in the same area where some high-profile inmates stayed in the past.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the "That '70s Show" actor is not in lockup with the general population at the L.A. County Men's Central Jail, as he waits to be sentenced for his rape conviction. Instead, we're told he's being kept in "administrative segregation" for his safety.
Our sources say he's in the same unit where some very famous inmates once stayed ... including Suge Knight and O.J. Simpson.
As we reported, DM was found guilty on two rape counts he was facing ... the jury was deadlocked on the third count. The verdict was reached this week in Los Angeles ... after his first trial ended in a mistrial.
There's no TV in his cell, but he'll have books from the jail's library, and will be allowed out of his cell for 2 hours each day, at which time he can go to the day room and have access to a phone and TV.
He'll get time for recreation 3 hours a week. He's able to shower every other day ... unless he's going to court, and then he can shower daily.
He is due back in court on August 4.

Manti Te'o Done With Football ... 'Playing A Different Game Now'

Exclusive
- 45 shares
Manti Te'o is adamant his football career is over ... telling TMZ Sports his purpose in life is now to help other people -- not crack running backs on a gridiron anymore.
The former linebacker made the revelation to us out at LAX ... saying he's officially hung up his spikes at 32 years old.
"I'm playing a different game now," the Notre Dame legend said. "I'm trying to empower people. Trying to inspire people. That's the game that I'm playing now, and I'm trying to be the best at that."
Te'o -- a second-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft -- last played in the league in the 2020 season ... when he suited up for the Chicago Bears.
He spent most of that year on the team's practice squad, though he did play in the team's postseason game against the Saints, logging six tackles.
Some believed he still had football left in his body -- if not for the NFL, perhaps for the XFL or the USFL -- but he said that's simply just not the case.
Instead, he told us he now wants to help people learn from the hard times he's endured, most notably his 2013 catfishing incident.
"If my life can be that for people -- to show people that, 'Hey, it may not be sunshine and roses all the time, but if you just keep your head down and keep working and believing in yourself and putting God first, everything will be all right.'"
Te'o -- who played eight seasons in the NFL -- also spoke briefly about his documentary, "Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist" ... and said he's glad people finally get to see and hear his story.
"It's more of an understanding now," Te'o said. "It's a beautiful thing because all the facts weren't out there ... I'm grateful that people have all the details and that people are able to see everything and that God's timing is perfect timing. So, everything works out."
