DJ Khaled Shuts Down Twerker on IG Live All Love, But I Got a Fam!!!

Published | Updated

DJ Khaled is NOT a single man -- which he had to remind one lovely lady who tried ambushing him with a live twerking session on Instagram ... which he quickly shut down.

The guy went live on Instagram over the weekend, and like several of his contemporaries have been doing lately -- especially Tory Lanez -- DJK invited some folks in the comments to hop on and join his sesh for a one-on-one chat. Things quickly turned risque, though.

After accepting one woman's request to chat, he almost immediately regretted it ... 'cause the chick was half-naked and VERY prepared to twerk for Khaled on camera. You gotta feel for the guy, 'cause he was desperately trying to tell her to chill, that he's got a family, that he loves his fans ... but to please STOP 'cause she was clearly embarrassing him.

That didn't deter the determined dancer -- she kept at it, and even started pouring water on herself. Khaled had had enough ... he ended the chat. He wrote of the interaction, "I have love for everyone please take it easy when I’m on fan luv ig luv. Again I have love for everyone please lets be respectful nothing but love BLESS UP!"

He must've thought it was pretty funny to post individually, 'cause that's exactly what he did. Hopefully, the wife finds it just as amusing -- good luck, big dog!

Tom Hardy Latest Makeup Still Proves He Ain't No Capone

Published | Updated

Tom Hardy is trying his best to look like the late Chicago kingpin, Al Capone -- but it's becoming clearer with every new shot and still photo that comes out ... they're not a match.

You might've heard about the new movie Tom's starring in called 'Capone,' in which he plays the titular character ... mostly portraying him in his twilight years when he was in failing health and supposedly losing his mind before he kicked the bucket. It's supposed to come out this year -- promotional material's been released and all. Looks decent enough.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The only problem ... Tom doesn't look much like Scarface himself, despite how much makeup they put on him, and how much hair they make him lose up top. The latest example of that is this test shot that was released -- showing Tom as really, really old AC.

He's made to appear like an elderly man -- and whether Capone might've looked anything like this in his final days or not (there aren't too many photos of him in the 1940s, when he died at age 48) ... it still feels a little hokey, assuming Tom appears like this in the film.

The pic also seems to further prove TH simply doesn't bear much of a resemblance to Capone at all -- which was made clear in the newest trailer for the flick. Some have pointed out that Hardy's Capone comes off as more of a monster movie character than a mobster. The face isn't round enough, the balding isn't quite right ... it's just not a great fit.

That's not to say Tom doesn't do a kick-ass job playing him -- which we're sure he does. And hey, not every biopic gets it down to a tee with the look ... it's usually more about the spirit of the person an actor is tasked with capturing, and Tom may very well do that here.

In any case ... here's hoping Tom makes Neville Brand, Rod Steiger, Paul Muni, Jason Robards, Stephen Graham, Robert De Niro and all the other guys who took a stab at it proud.

Fake Nurses Committing 'Porch Piracy' in Scrubs ... Washington Cops Say

Published | Updated

If you thought pirates were just out at sea being bad, you'd be wrong -- Washington state cops say there's piracy happening on their own porches ... by none other than nurses!!! Fake nurses, rather.

This story comes to you from Kennewick, Washington ... where the local police department released photos of two women dressed as nurses that they say are going around to local neighborhoods and STEALING packages off people's doorstep. In broad daylight, no less.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Post.

KPD says of the crimes ... "Officers are currently investigating a case of porch piracy and need your help. Both suspects have been reported as stealing packages delivered to Kennewick residences," going on to tell folks to contact 'em if anyone recognizes these gals.

They also make a point to say that they don't believe the perps are actually nurses -- even though they certainly look the part in their full scrubs, gloves and lanyard badges. The department takes a dig at them and gives a shout-out to real nurses, saying ... "The nurses we are fortunate to know only give their time, lives, and take the vitals of their patients (not their property)." And, it gets even weirder.

One of the residents who had a package swooped from her porch says she played back the surveillance tape she had and describes one of the ladies arriving at her front door, only minutes after a FedEx driver dropped off her package, and casually walking off with the goods. Not a batted eye, not a fumble ... all very smooth and calculated.

Sounds like they might be tailing delivery drivers in the area and making their move when they leave. Diabolical!!!

NYPD Cop Brandishes Taser in Brutal Takedown ... During Quarantine Bust

Published | Updated

Things got out of hand in NYC this weekend, where a bunch of cops broke up a crowd -- which ended up with a man being threatened with a taser and then beaten up.

Check out this video that was captured Saturday down in the East Village, where you see at least 4 plain-clothes officers yank a guy out of a building and throw him to the ground while people around them scream, and one woman insists the dude did nothing wrong.

While they're dealing with him, another man approaches the ruckus from the street, only to be met by a lone cop who gets up and tells him to back up -- brandishing his taser and even zapping it in what seems to be an effort to scare him. The guy didn't back down.

That led to the officer taking him down, putting him in a bear hug ... then slapping and punching him when he was on the ground. Another officer came over to help put cuffs on the bystander. Even more chaos ensues as the crowd grows and backup arrives.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea says this all started with a social distance infraction, which he says his cops were trying to break up. Now, this is being investigated by the department's Internal Affairs unit ... and one of the cops on video is on modified duty now.

Meanwhile, 3 people were arrested in the dust-up -- including the 2 guys taken down by the NYPD as well as a woman who allegedly had her own stun gun on her.

On the flip side ... the other side of town was also congregating en masse Saturday over in the West Village, but there weren't too many signs of rowdy, physical break-ups like we see here. The NYPD says they issued dozens of summons over these social distance breakers too, but we haven't seen video of any violence like these POC are experiencing.

They say coronavirus is disproportionately affecting minority communities, and that seems to be true from top to bottom.

Glow-in-the-Dark Dolphins Bioluminescence Tech Moves Inland To Bigger, Coastal Mammals

Published | Updated
Glowing Dolphins 4/29/20
FLIPPER FLOURESCENCE

The glowing dolphin phenomenon is closer to shore than ever before in Southern California's own backyard -- now, we got some coastal dolphins lighting up the night sea!

Check out this video from photographer Patrick Coyne, who -- like last time -- tracked down more flipper swimmers out near Newport Beach, who were lighting up with blue fluorescence underwater in the pitch-black dead of night ... and pretty close to land too.

In the vid, he makes a distinction between these dolphins -- which are bottlenose (AKA coastal) dolphins -- and the ones he caught on camera about a week or so ago, which are just common dolphins, and go further out in the water than these little guys do.

As we've explained ... the way the dolphins can glow the way they do here is attributed to bioluminescence. Basically, phytoplankton in the water have been doused in this, and they make the surrounding water shine bright in the dark. That includes anything swimming in the ocean as well, obviously.

Dolphins 4/22/20
SHINING SEALIFE

Patrick makes a note in the clip that coastal dolphins seem to be using their newfound power to their advantage -- and you can imagine as much. They're smart animals, so if they're able to see better with this, they're probably going to town with it in their journey.

Awesome Girl Dad Helps Daughter w/ Cheer at Home ... Simone Biles Likes!!!

Published | Updated

Girl dads everywhere should take a cue from this proud papa -- who's helping his daughter stay sharp in cheerleading during quarantine ... something Simone Biles digs a lot.

Check out this sweet video of a guy practicing a pretty advanced cheer routine within the confines of their home. The kid can't be more than maybe 4 or 5 years old -- if that -- but she's got some killer moves ... which her dad was more than happy to coach her through.

Frankly, this feels like something you might see Navarro College athletes practicing in preparation for Daytona -- and this teeny little girl sorta has it down to a tee already.

Her pops starts out by throwing her into the air, where she does a full body twirl and lands on his hands perfectly. She then balances on one leg while lifting the other one up near her head. The daughter then falls into her dad's arms for a cradle and up they go again.

It's incredible to watch -- and the way the father-daughter duo interact is pretty precious too. Of course, it would seem this clip has caught an Olympian's eye, 'cause Simone -- who does similar stuff to this on her own mat -- liked the video from her official page.

Just goes to show that life indoors can still be as productive as regular times. Take note, people!

Dunkaroos 5,000-Pack Giveaway Goes Fast!!! ... Leaves Fans Hangry

Published

Dunkaroos fans got a shot to score a free pack of the popular '90s dipping snack, but it was gone in seconds ... leaving many feeling like dips themselves.

The 5,000 packs of Dunkaroos General Mills is giving away were claimed online in less than a minute Thursday, proving the pre-order promotion was a success.

It may have worked too well, though ... because the lightning-quick giveaway resulted in some Twitter allegations the site had actually crashed, was rigged or simply all a publicity stunt.

GM says that's not the case ... there were simply thousands of people on the site waiting for a chance to get their hands on the first packs of the revitalized '90s snack, and 5,000 spots filled up super fast.

The good news for these frustrated fans -- Dunkaroos will be making a comeback at some 7-Eleven stores starting in late May, and nationwide at more grocery and convenient stores later this summer.

It's unclear if there will be more flavors than the vanilla cookie and vanilla frosting with rainbow sprinkles Dunkaroos used for the giveaway, but either way ... people want 'em.

Call it the power of nostalgia ... and sugar.

Coronavirus Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls ... Like These Folks Here

Published | Updated
Gunlock Falls
TENDER LOVE AND CORONAVIRUS

Utah is ramping up to reopen safely -- like lots of other states -- but these happy campers are ready to take a leap of faith into their regular routines ... including trips to state parks with waterfalls.

Check out the scene from Gunlock State Park Saturday, where we're told at least 1,000 people congregated to freefall dive into the pools of water covering most of the grounds. It's surreal -- both gorgeous for the scenery, but horrifying 'cause of how packed it is.

Eyewitnesses say a majority of these waterfall jumpers were young people -- you can probably tell as much by watching the videos and seeing them up close and afar-- but we're also told some families were out there too. No matter what ... none of them were social distancing anyway.

BTW, local reports say at least two other state parks -- Sand Hollow and Quail Creek -- ended up getting packed to capacity on Friday ... this after the state announced it was ready to start navigating the reopening of several businesses, to the chagrin of many ... including Salt Lake City's mayor, who warned her own residents to remain vigilant.

The official Utah State Park Twitter page has been advising visitors to practice #ResponsibleRecreation ... but it's pretty obvious, responsibility is out the window.

Summer's just about here, and people are over heeding the dangers surrounding COVID-19.

Secretariat Wins the 2020 Kentucky Derby!!! ... Virtually, That Is

Published

Secretariat pulled ahead of Citation in the final stretch of the Kentucky Derby Saturday -- and if you're wondering what year it is ... don't worry, it's still 2020.

This weekend would've marked the opening day of the 146th annual horse racing event down at Churchill Downs over in Louisville -- which was postponed for the first time ever since WWII -- and while they couldn't get real thoroughbreds on the track, the crafty minds working the event created a virtual simulation race instead with Triple Crown Winners past.

That included legendary horses like Secretariat, Citation, War Admiral, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Assault, Sir Barton, Whirlaway, Omaha, Count Fleet and more recent racers like American Pharaoh and Justify. All spanning different decades dating back to the early 1900s.

The way it works is that programmers entered each horse's stats into a computer system -- which took into account their odds as well -- and then it spits out a random number to assign to each horse. So, while Secretariat was the 7-2 favorite to win ... it didn't necessarily mean he WAS going to, even though he actually did in the end. Go figure!

It was a fun experiment, but it also proved why the proverbial G.O.A.T. of horse-racing is the king. BTW, if you're wondering why lil' Seabiscuit (who defeated War Admiral once upon a time) wasn't included -- it's 'cause he never competed in any Triple Crown races.

He probably could've held his own though ... at least we think so, anyway.

Crosswalk Conflict 'I'm Walking Here!!!' Miami-Style ... Lady Goes Nuts on Car

Published | Updated

Florida man, meet Florida woman. She's just as rambunctious as you are sometimes, especially when cars get in her way ... like this poor sap in Miami just did.

Check out this wild video that's making the rounds on TikTok, which shows a lady crossing the street at a light (rightly using the crosswalk) and then losing her mind on a car that crossed the line, literally, into her walking space. It happens all the time, but never like this.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

The woman absolutely freaks out, berating the driver for getting in her way ... and then she proceeds to start pummeling his car with kicks and physical blows. At one point, it looks like the guy in the vehicle tries getting out while telling her to relax, but she wasn't gonna let that happen either. She slams his door multiple times before finally walking away.

The meltdown isn't over there though -- once she's on the other side ... she starts screaming at the car from a distance and throws an epic tantrum on the curb. Seems like she might've been having a bad day, or maybe it was just the 'rona effect kicking into overdrive.

We know people have been acting a little squirrely lately by being under quarantine and whatnot, but this takes it to another level. BTW, Dustin Hoffman would be proud of this.

'Murder Hornets' Touch Down in N. America Capable of Killing Humans w/ Venom

Published | Updated

A deadly species of hornets from across the world has landed in our own backyard -- and the timing couldn't be worse with the coronavirus pandemic in full swing.

An epidemiologist named Chris Looney gave a detailed report to the NYT this weekend, outlining the first sightings of these giant Asian "murder" hornets here in North America -- first spotted in Washington state this past fall -- and the joint effort to eradicate them before they wipe out our bee population, not to mention any human casualties along the way.

The report says the giant Asian hornets tear up entire bee colonies by decapitating their heads with their jaws and feeding the bodies to their young. Up until around Novemer, the so-called "murder hornets" hadn't been seen here in the U.S., but now ... it seems they've arrived, and scientists are working on a way to get rid of them since summer's approaching, when the hornets are expected to be much more active.

The hornets kill people too, BTW -- the Times says up to 50 people get stung by them and die each year ... and their potent venom has been described as hot metal driving through people's skin. A queen hornet can measure up to 2 inches long -- so they're big.

The good news (we think) is that the entomologists and other experts working on this issue have been setting up homemade hornet traps in hopes of keeping the population at bay, and they've also created a grid of where they think the hornets are.

For those they do catch, the scientists plan to use radio-frequency identification tags on the insects and track where they go with the idea being they'll lead them to the nest(s). Then, they could potentially destroy them and take out entire colonies at a time.

Good luck ... better wear suits made of metal while you're at it 😬
