Water Slide Viral Vid Strong Sign It's a Fake, But ...
That amazing water slide video -- where the guy glides across the surface of the pool -- is really fishy. Or at least one key part of it is.
Like the rest of you, we've been watching the clip over and over ... trying to understand how it could be. Admittedly, we suck at physics, but we slowed down the video and noticed the electric glider's shirt appears to be fully on as he scoots across the water. Just as he reaches the pool's edge, a woman walks in front of the camera -- after she passes, the guy is pulling his shirt back over his head.
Hmm ... seems like there could have been an edit.
Still, we also found a slew of other vids from the resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and there are NO obvious edits in these clips. Like we said ... physics. Go figure.
I went to this resort last year and a couple people did that. I got video of this guy almost doing it pic.twitter.com/4zcjc7oezO

Nah, THIS is the real king of that resort. The other guy learned from him. This is Beaches Resort in Ocho Rios. pic.twitter.com/lLB4ntQc0l

Water Slide Guy Skips Across Water ... The Electric Glide!!
Call him the Usain Bolt of water parks -- a guy in Jamaica stuck the most amazing water slide landing ... in fact, it's almost unbelievable!
If you thought gliding over water went out of style about 2000 years ago, you gotta see what this guy pulled off. He shot out of the slide and then ... GLIDED all the way across the pool ... and popped up on his feet on solid ground!!
Dude's gone viral, which means there's gonna be a lot of disappointed -- and possibly injured -- water park goers this summer.

'Covfefe' Undies, Beer, Coffee or Merch ... The Choice Is Yours!
The race is on to nab Donald Trump's typo word of the year, "covfefe" ... and that means it could end up plastered on everything from boobs to beer.
More than a handful of would-be entrepreneurs have filed legal docs to lock down the right to slap covfefe on shirts, sweaters, tank tops, pants, socks and all the other typical clothes for men, women and children. That's the standard stuff.
There's also talk of cranking out covfefe leisure suits, PJs, panties, thongs, bras and even clogs. Also, at least one brewery has also filed to attach it to a beer -- while another guy wants it for a coffee brew.
Gotta say, covfefe clogs seems like a front-runner. If you're into that sorta thing.

D.L. Hughley Destroys Kathy Haters ... Where's Your Ted Nugent Outrage??
D.L. Hughley's strongly defending Kathy Griffin's beheading photo of President Trump -- saying all these haters were dead silent when Ted Nugent threatened President Obama.
The comedian was at LAX Friday when he labeled most of Kathy's haters hypocrites. He also said Trump has no right to be offended ... considering the controversial things he's said about women and women's bodies.
As for Kathy's apology -- D.L.'s got an issue with that ... from a comedian's viewpoint. It's all about protecting balls.

'Covfefe' Merriam-Webster Ain't Playing Trump's Game
Donald Trump might be America's midnight wordsmith, but Merriam-Webster isn't bowing to all the covfefe -- the President's made-up lingo will NOT be in their good book.
Merriam-Webster's editor-at-large, Peter Sololowski, tells TMZ ... Trump's now infamous word won't be making an appearance in their dictionary anytime soon, despite TONS of people trying to define it this week.
Sololowski believes covfefe was simply a typo, and says MW doesn't create entries for what it considers misspelled words. MW's website's been flooded with covfefe searches since Trump's late night tweet ... and Sololwski says they're serving up suggestions like coffee, coven, cover, covet and covey.
BTW ... White House sources tell us they maintain what Sean Spicer said Wednesday -- that covfefe was deliberate ... and its true meaning is known only to a select group.
Very select. Like ... one, we're guessing.

Viral Bear Attack Hunter Gets His Revenge ... Kills Bear That Attacked Him
The hunter who got video of a black bear attacking him got his revenge ... he went back and killed the animal.
Richard Wesley tells TMZ ... if the bear attacked him it would surely attack others ... possibly his wife and kids, who also spend time at the family's campsite in ultra-rural Ontario.
His family is full of experienced hunters, and he says it's unusual for a black bear to attack a human.
Richard says the experience reminded him of "The Revenant." He walked away lucky ... a bruise on the elbow.
There's no cell service up in them there parts ... so he and Leo had that in common.

Greg Gianforte Sheriff Cops to Backing Him ... Politically, At Least
The cop who cited Greg Gianforte for allegedly body slamming a reporter ... has also supported the candidate's run for Congress.
Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin admitted making a donation to Gianforte's campaign during a Thursday news conference. The Sheriff also said he's interacted with Gianforte socially, however he insisted it would not be relevant to how his department handled the case.
As we reported, Gianforte was charged with misdemeanor assault after reporter Ben Jacobs accused him of the Wednesday body slam. Gianforte's gone radio silent, but through a rep he's put the blame on Jacobs.
Gootkin's news conference came smack dab in the middle of election day. Polls close at 8 PM in Montana.

Bear Attack Hunter Goes Down But Survives!
Vicious bear attacks are rarely caught on video like this, and what's also very rare is ... the victim managing to walk away in one piece.
A hunter in Ontario says he was out on a Spring hunt recently -- and you gotta see what happened when he stumbled within a few dozen yards of a pretty big black bear.
After a tense standoff the animal charged right at the hunter, and there's a moment where you're sure the guy's gotta be dead!
We're guessing he needed fresh underwear, but apparently that was it.
As they say: Any bear attack you can walk away from ...

Manchester Bombing Social Media Tribute Flag Was Jacked But Artist Is Honored
The Manchester tribute flag you're seeing all over the Internet was created by an artist who never signed off on his work being used by millions of people ... for free, mind you -- and yet he's not pissed.
Mark E. Tisdale, who's American, tells TMZ he created the original art back in 2013. He was surprised to see it become such a uniting symbol for the Manchester tragedy ... posted by tons of people, including David Beckham.
Mark says, obviously, he didn't design the flag years ago with tragedy in mind. However, in light of the bombing ... he's glad it's being used to help bring people together on social media.
And while his art's mostly being spread without crediting him ... he says he has gotten a lot more traffic on his website where he sells his digital art.
Mark's planning to donate any dough he makes off the Manchester flag to relief efforts.

Danielle Bregoli's Tour Cash My 4-Star, Fruity Demands
Danielle Bregoli's celeb status is now cemented (sorry) after signing a tour deal with Live Nation -- and whipping out a list of rock star-ish demands to the venues where she's appearing.
We got hold of Cash Me Outside's tour rider and she's drawing the line at 4-star hotels or better. Money-wise ... she requires $750 per diem, plus $3k to cover personal security costs.
Here's where Danielle really lays down the law:
- 50" inch TV with Netflix and DVD player for viewing Paris Hilton in "House of Wax" (movie subject to change)
- 3 fidget spinners
- 5 Gildan or Fruit of the Loom brand white tank tops, "ABSOLUTELY NO HANES BRAND"
- 4 large Domino's pizzas
- 1 fruit platter, but NO pineapple
TMZ broke the story ... Danielle's getting up to $50k if she sells out her 2 tests shows -- July 8 in Fort Lauderdale and July 9 in Houston. If all goes well, Live Nation will consider a nationwide tour.
Best o' luck to all involved.

As we reported an explosion tore apart a portion of the rotunda outside the seating area at the Manchester Arena. There are reports the explosive device was a nail bomb in a backpack and it might have been a suicide mission.
It appears the bomber was waiting around the exit area as people were streaming out of the building.
Police say, in addition to the 19 dead, 50 people were injured. Body parts were apparently strewn throughout the blast site.
Ariana had just finished performing and had left the stage. She was not hurt.
The explosion triggered a stampede in the arena, injuring a number of people.

Justin Trudeau Prom PM ... Photobomb Master
Canada's Prime Minister does 2 things exceptionally well that sometimes coincide ... jogging and photobombing.
Justin Trudeau went on a run Saturday along Stanley Park Seawall in Vancouver, where he zipped by a group of kids taking pics for their prom. Naturally, it made for an epic photobomb ... him in full stride and smiling.
The high schoolers quickly noticed their leader, and since he's a nice guy ... he took an official shot with the youngsters.
Oh, Trudeau.

Mike Pence Notre Dame Grads Storm Out in Protest
11:35 AM PT -- A Notre Dame school official tells TMZ the university was aware of the walk-out, and even helped them out a bit for minimal distractions. Students asked ND heads a few days before graduation which exit they should take to cause the least amount of attention. ND didn't fight the protest. We're also told about 99% of the class stayed and received Pence warmly, which they consider a success.
Mike Pence learned the true meaning of the phrase "Fighting Irish" when a couple dozen grads removed themselves from the ceremony during the Veep's commencement speech.
Pence was asked by Notre Dame to deliver the speech Sunday at its graduation, but the moment he stepped up to the lectern ... at least 20 students got up headed toward the back.
It was a planned protest against the Trump administration ... point made.
It's kind of a big deal. ND is a Catholic school ... and Pence is famously Christian. Also, the university is in Indiana ... where he served as governor before being tapped as Trump's VP.
Pence carried on like nothing happened. He fired up the audience and even got some cheers.

SNL Team Trump Sings 'Hallelujah' ... Hang in There, America!
Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway and the rest of the White House team sang a song of hope to fire up the season finale of SNL ... just like Hillary Clinton did 6 months ago.
Alec Baldwin as Trump began playing the opening chords to "Hallelujah" during the cold open, and was soon joined by Conway, Mike Pence and a good chunk of his WH staff. Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer was noticeably absent.
Anyway, the sing-along might ring a bell -- Kate McKinnon did the song as Clinton the weekend after the presidential election ... telling America she wasn't giving up and they shouldn't either.
Baldwin's Trump has a similar message, but a different (and hilarious) rationale.

Danielle Bregoli Cash Me On Tour ... HowBow Dah?!
Danielle Bregoli is taking her "Cash Me Outside" routine -- aka just being Danielle -- to a stage, possibly near you, for a national tour ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Danielle tell us she'll be hittin' the road, and stands to make up to $50k per show if they sell out. So far, we're told her team has 2 big city venues locked down. We know what you're thinking -- what's a freakin' "Cash Me Outside" stage act look like?
We're told she's planning a 3-part act:
- Danielle lip syncing and rapping to her fave songs, plus established acts making cameos.
- Live Q&A with the audience, which seems risky considering how defensive she can get.
- Invite audience members onstage to joke around. Translation: Get ready to be roasted by a 14-year-old.
We're told they're still hammering out the contract, but expect to cash Danielle onstage, real soon.
