TATUM TUMBLE

Jayson Tatum's appearance at Drake's concert on Wednesday night turned out to be a very painful experience for one fan ... 'cause during her freak-out over the Celtics star's cameo -- she wiped out down six rows of stairs.

The wild incident happened in the nosebleeds at TD Garden arena during the It's All A Blur Tour's stop in Boston ... after the rapper introduced the NBA star to the sold-out crowd.

The woman started to jump up and down when Tatum got on stage -- and she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Jayson Tatum!!"

But, somehow during the meltdown, she lost her balance ... tripped over a chair -- and then face-planted all the way down several steps.

Check out the footage of the fall ... she hit the pavement HARD.

No word on if she suffered any significant injuries ... but the TikTok user who posted the clip humorously captioned it, "big tatum fan!" -- so we get the vibe she's doing all right.

The night otherwise went off without a hitch ... and Drake seemed to be very pleased with his work inside the Celtics' home -- saying on his IG after the show, "Who else can get the Garden b(l)ooming like this?"

Next stop for Drake's tour is the Bell Centre in Montreal ... try to stay safe in your seats, everyone!

Golden Retrievers 450+ Gather in Scotland ... Adorable Family Meet-Pup!

Published

If this doesn't make ya smile, nothing will today -- more than 450 golden retrievers are romping around a single Scottish estate for the cutest stinkin' family reunion you'll ever see!!!

Loads of the fluffy and distant relatives shook paws at the Guisachan Estate Thursday -- all posing for a photo op in front of the ruins of a home where the breed originated.

This is where Sir Dudley Marjoribanks bred the first-ever golden retriever way back in 1868.

The huge gathering came after a week of workshops, discussions, and demonstrations, all put on by The Golden Retriever Club of Scotland ... with the goal of keeping folks informed on the background of the popular breed.

Marjoribanks, later known as Lord Tweedmouth, created the dog by breeding a water spaniel and a wavy-coated retriever ... with historians claiming the animals would be given out to family and close friends in the early years of its creation.

One thing's for sure, the guy sure knew how to make a damn cute dog!

FRONTIER FREAK-OUT

The new Frontier in the skies is bedlam ... and if you don't believe it, watch this video.

A Frontier Airlines flight bound for Vegas from Philly made an unscheduled stop in Denver ... after 2 women got into a foul-mouthed rant that went all WWE.

The women were actually traveling together, when an argument erupted and they took to the aisle. The screaming became ear-shattering and other passengers eventually got involved.

At least one passenger was hit in the head during the melee.

The plane was diverted to Denver and the 2 women were taken off the plane by cops. The FBI was alerted as well. It's unclear if they were arrested or will face criminal charges.

Burger King Thailand Hold The Meat ... Debuts New Burger with 20 Slices of Cheese!!!

Published | Updated

Lactose intolerant customers beware, Burger King in Thailand is pushing the limits of dairy, dropping a new burger without any patty ... and 20 slices of cheese!!!

This ain't a joke -- the Thai extension of the fast food company announced the "Real Cheeseburger" Sunday ... buns filled with nearly 2 dozen slices of American cheese.

The chain's social media blast says the cheesy exclusive is only available until Thursday, and it's going for 109 Thai baht -- just over $3 USD.

Folks in Thailand apparently couldn't wait to get their hands on a dietician's worst nightmare, with social media going nuts over the limited-time grub.

BK diners have posted mostly negative reactions already, as you can imagine -- one said the mountain of cheese was a lot, while another called the burger "too intense."

Unclear if this controversial dish will make its way to Burger Kings in the States ... but ya gotta admit, it's pretty insane.

Shark Sightings Great Whites Swim Under Surfers!!! New Video From Surf Spot

Published

SAND, SURF, SHARKS

One of the most popular surf spots in Southern California is teeming with man-eating sharks -- video clearly shows a handful of great whites lurking just under the surface as surfers catch waves.

Ya gotta see the footage from San Onofre State Beach ... there are 4 to 5 sharks swimming between the waves with more than a dozen surfers nearby, or in some cases, paddling right over the potentially killer fish.

The incredible video was captured by photog Kevin Christopherson's drone Friday over San Onofre -- one of SoCal's surf meccas -- and most surfers don't seem concerned about what's swimming underneath them.

As you can see, sharks are there as surfers zip over them on waves ... and the predators are swimming nearby while surfers bob in the water, waiting for the next break.

These sharks are pretty big too ... because they're as big or bigger than the surfers' longboards.

Fact is, San Onofre State Beach is known to be a breeding ground for great whites ... so, most, if not all, of these surfers are aware of the risk.

Still, getting shark sightings like this on camera is a rarity.

We've seen recent attacks in Florida and overseas, but here the sharks seem uninterested in the surfers as a food source ... and we're happy to report there were no bites.

6:22 AM PT -- 7/10 -- Jamie Foxx took to Twitter for the first time since his hospitalization and said, "Boat life🦊 Celebrating summer with @brownsugarbbn Stay blessed!"

CHILLING IN CHICAGO
UPDATE

And, we just got new video ... a closer angle of Jamie onboard the boat, but still interacting with fans.

Jamie Foxx's road to recovery seems to be going very well, 'cause the guy's out and about in public now ... with TMZ getting the first glimpse of him since his hospitalization.

Check out this footage we've obtained, showing a cheerful JF cruising along on a mega-boat on the Chicago River Sunday afternoon ... looking pretty vibrant, and happy to see fans as well. A neighboring vessel passed him by and gave him a big hurrah ... Jamie waved back.

He appeared to be accompanied by a few others onboard as well ... and at first glance, it seems there were some members of his family around. They've been at his side throughout this entire ordeal -- and we know they've been visiting him too as he rehabs in ChiTown.

The difference here ... we're finally getting a clear view of Jamie in the flesh, which is encouraging. Frankly, there's been a lot of speculation about his condition ... and the longer he went out of the public eye, the greater the conjecture would grow. Folks have been worried.

Now, hopefully, all those rumors can be put to rest ... because the guy seems to be well on his way to achieving full health again. Still no word on what exactly happened to him that sent him to the ER in the first place, but the point is -- he seems primed for a comeback.

Here's another positive update TMZ can provide ... we've seen more footage of Jamie spending a night out on the town in the Chicago area Saturday, getting active on his feet, no less, and looking to be in great spirits there too.

That clip is yet an extra sign that the man appears to be doing fairly okay at this point ... and that he's perhaps ready to start venturing out more and more as he gets back to 100%.

Glad to see you, Mr. Foxx. As is the rest of the world, no doubt.

Harry Styles Rumored GF Taylor Russell Looks On ... VIP View in Vienna!!!

Published | Updated

taylor front & center

Harry Styles has his fans abuzz with excitement at the possibility that he's dating Taylor Russell -- and based on where she was this weekend ... they may be on to something.

TMZ has obtained photos and video that show the actress watching Harry's Vienna concert Saturday night in what appears to be a VIP tent of some sort. More than just that, though, it also seems to be an area where HS's team might've been handling BTS concert duties.

As you can see, Taylor -- who's pictured with the bob cut and white dress -- is sitting next to a guy, who's got an electronic device and monitors in front of him. Looks like he might be Harry's stage manager or something ... and that he was pulling the levers of the show.

Taylor's sidled up alongside this fella ... and she's also dancing the night away as Harry performs. In between songs, TR was chatting with the crew member -- taking it all in.

Looks like she was there for the entirety of the show ... and her appearance here dovetails with photos of her in Vienna, with a guy that stans are certain is actually Harry. On Saturday one such photo appeared to show her wearing this exact outfit and rocking the same 'do.

And yet on Sunday, even more purported footage of the two of them walking around the city began circulating as well ... sending the Harry brigade into a full frenzy over the chance that he may have a new love interest in his life. Indeed, they're quite happy about it.

The dating rumors actually began last month, when Harry was spotted walking with Taylor in London ... and seemingly holding her hand too. Now, it appears she's accompanying him on tour, at least partially anyway. Unclear if she'll be going to his other European dates.

Like we said, the Harries (as they're known) are flipping their lid over this would-be couple ... and, unfortunately, it comes at the expense of Olivia Wilde, who Harry dated last year.

Needless to say, his fan base wasn't totally thrilled with that pairing ... as the collective feeling, it seems, was that being with her brought a lot of drama he might not normally have around him ... if not for her. Yes, we're referring to Florence Pugh, Jason Sudeikis, etc.

Anyhoo, they're all broken up now ... and on its face, it looks to us like he might already be moving on to someone else -- who also happens to be closer to him in age ... FWIW.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

While Harry did take something to the face last night -- and it sure seemed like it hurt ... here's hoping Taylor was able to kiss it better before the night's end. Happy trails, you two!

Mark Ronson My 'Barbie' Praise Was for Billie, Guys Amid Sam Smith Rumors

Published | Updated

Mark Ronson just clarified that his praise of the final two mystery artists on the "Barbie" soundtrack was actually meant for one person ... and many see it as a dig at Sam Smith.

Here's the deal ... Ronson -- who's EP'ing the upcoming album attached to the movie -- has been teasing two final artists set to have songs on there (which weren't being announced until the final weeks). A few days ago, Billie Eilish revealed she was one of those two.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

She confirmed it in an IG post, saying the track is going to be called "What Was I Made For?" ... adding that she's stoked to be part of the project, confirming her love of Barbie.

With BE being cemented as the penultimate addition to the soundtrack ... Twitter was rife with speculation about who could possibly be filling the final spot -- which reached a fever pitch when a screenshot of a track that was allegedly registered recently made the rounds.

The grab purports to show a song that's supposedly tied to the soundtrack ... one by Sam Smith and produced by Ronson -- with the actual "Barbie" soundtrack attached as well.

When the Internet saw this, they were bummed ... especially considering what Ronson had recently said about at least one of the mystery artists -- namely, "One of the f***ing greatest living artists around, but also had a very personal idiosyncratic tie to Barbie as well."

Indeed, the jokes were flying at Sam's expense ... as it appears fans were expecting a different artist to be unveiled. Well, it seems Ronson caught wind of all the chatter this morning -- because he hopped online to clear up who exactly he was talking about ... Billie.

He writes, "Hi. I love all these artists being thrown around. But was specifically referring to Billie." Now, MR didn't mention Sam's name specifically -- but does seem to be referencing all the conjecture that the final artist may be them ... so his comment here is interesting.

In any case, time will tell if Sam is, indeed, announced as the final act on the "Barbie" soundtrack. Unfortunately, based on how Twitter's responded to that possibility today ... it doesn't sound like the 'Barbie" stans are gonna be happy if that actually comes to pass.

Master P Google's Gotta Lay Off the AI ... Luther & I Look Nothing Alike!!!

Published

Master P thinks Google confusing him for Luther Vandross is either a case of AI running amok or a grander scheme to bury his Snoop Cereal company!!!

Ok, he's joking about that second part, but the Colonel knows a great marketing opportunity when he sees it. TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Master P in Burbank, CA, outside Walmart -- the soon-to-be retailer of his and Snoop Dogg's breakfast venture -- and he said he'd better understand Google mistaking him for the cereal's mascot, instead of Luther. 😂

DIVERSIFY YOUR BREAKFAST

The No Limit rapper tells us he understands social media's fascination with the Google gaffe, but thinks the tech giant might be letting their AI bots run too much of the show behind the scenes -- something Questlove of The Roots seems to believe as well.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Google finally corrected its mistake but P says it needs to do more ... like using its algorithm to shine a light on his brand. He notes Google's vaunted search engine did get at least one thing right related to him -- crediting his and Snoop's Broadus Foods as the first Black-owned cereal company.

P's message is clear ... you can never have too much promo, always and forever.

Victor Wembanyama Asked If He'll Apologize to Britney ... As He's Mobbed by Fans

don't hold your breath

Victor Wembanyama was asked point blank this weekend if he has any plans to apologize to Britney Spears after one of his bodyguards swatted at her -- and his response is telling.

The young basketball phenom was making the rounds in Vegas Saturday for NBA Con, and it looks like Wemby stopped off at a local gym to say what's up to some young hoopers/adoring fans ... who were absolutely mobbing the guy on his way out of there.

Check out this footage -- obtained by TMZ -- and you'll see what we mean. There's kids all over the place following him as he proceeds to an exit ... and they're vying for autographs.

Interestingly, this is actually a similar vibe to the scene he found himself earlier in the week when Britney attempted to get his attention ... and it also looks like he's rolling with the same security detail -- including, perhaps, the exact gentleman who made contact with BS.

The difference here, it seems, is that Wemby and his crew are a lot more relaxed this time around ... even though you could argue this is more hectic of an environment than when Britney rolled up on him. Watch his bodyguard -- a lot less handsy, but ever watchful.

Then, comes the huge question from someone in the crowd ... who asks Wemby straight up if he wants to say sorry to Britney over what happened -- something she's asked for herself.

There's been different accounts as to whether the security guard in question made amends afterward -- we've heard he did actually come over to apologize to her, but a statement she released suggests otherwise ... as she appears to want more from Wemby and the Spurs.

In any case ... the guy doesn't answer the question here, and simply keeps on going. Assuming he heard it -- frankly, who couldn't have at that volume -- ya gotta figure this means he ain't planning to say more than what he's already said on the matter.

Even when he addressed it with the media, VW didn't seem to show much remorse over the incident -- saying he was pretty unaware of what was going on until after the fact. What he did say, which other video we've obtained contradicts, is that he was grabbed from behind.

As we've reported ... no criminal charges are going to be filed over the swat/slap.

Attempted Robbery Gone Wrong Gimme All Your Money, Please??? Salon Hilariously Unfazed

Published

A man was spotted on camera allegedly trying to hold up an ATL nail salon, but ultimately failed -- all thanks to the staff and customers who couldn't care less about his demands.

The attempted robbery gone wrong went down this week at Nail First, and in the security footage, the man holds up what you'd assume is a weapon inside his bag ... shouting at everyone in the spot to hand over the cash.

Shockingly, his brute request fell on deaf ears -- he even goes up to the man behind the counter, who seems too busy for his BS ... taking a phone call and walking away.

The guy does snatch the phone from one woman, who ends up walking out of the building -- but everyone else remains chill ... and after some painfully-awkward silence, the guy just takes off without stealing any dough.

Crime Stoppers is working on finding the wannabe crook, according to Fox5 Atlanta ... and customer Lesa Barrow told the outlet the owner was scared at first but kept his cool to keep everyone else calm.

Time for this alleged thief to find a new line of work, because he ain't great at this!

Guardians Prospect George Valera Shoves Ump During Game ... Incites Wild Brawl!!!

Published

George Valera -- arguably the most touted prospect in the entire Cleveland Guardians farm system -- has found himself in some seriously hot water ... after he shoved an umpire during a game on Thursday night.

The wild scene all went down in the third inning of the Columbus Clippers' tilt against the Nashville Sound ... when Valera -- who was playing centerfield for the Clips -- stepped into the box for his second at-bat of the night.

Broadcast video from the game shows during the middle of the AB -- Valera appeared to take exception to something Sound catcher Alex Jackson said ... and he confronted him about it, halting play.

The two then got so heated, the home plate ump tried to intervene -- but that didn't stop Valera from sticking his finger in Jackson's mask. A few moments later, Valera pushed the ump in what seemed to be an effort to get to Jackson.

The shove ignited an all-out brawl on the field ... as both benches cleared to back their guys. Pushing and shoving then ensued -- before, thankfully, cooler heads prevailed.

Both Valera and Jackson ended up getting thrown out of the game over it all. It's unclear if Valera will face further punishment for putting his hands on an ump.

Valera, 22, is the No. 2-rated prospect in the Guardians' system ... and prior to the start of this year, there was a belief he could get the call up to Cleveland's Big League roster this season.

Yankees Vs. Orioles Cameraman Suffers Orbital Fracture ... After Getting Hit In Face At Yankees Game

Published | Updated
UPDATE

12:51 PM PT -- YES Network says Pete Stendel suffered an orbital fracture ... but he is now resting at home.

UPDATE

"He and his family appreciate everyone's support," the network added.

Scary scene during the Yankees vs. Orioles game Wednesday night ... a cameraman was drilled in the forehead by an errant throw -- and the baseball did so much damage, the guy had to spend the evening in the hospital.

It happened during the fifth inning ... when Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson hurried a throw to first base in an attempt to get Anthony Volpe out.

The toss, though, sailed high on the Baltimore rookie ... and it ended up going into a dugout where YES Network cameraman Pete Stendel had been filming.

Video from the game's broadcast shows the baseball caught Stendel flush ... and he immediately crumpled to the ground in pain. Trainers rushed over to help him -- before they strapped him to a backboard and took him away from the field.

Stendel was able to give the crowd a wave while he was being transferred out of the stadium ... and, fortunately, YES Network officials said later in the evening he was conscious while he undergoing further examination at a local medical facility.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone, meanwhile, said after the game the whole thing was horrifying.

"Definitely praying for him," Boone said following NY's 6-3 loss. "It was good to see him, obviously, coherent and obviously raising his hand going off."

Get well soon, Pete.

Titan Submersible Implosion OceanGate Suspending All Operations

Published | Updated

OceanGate is pressing pause in the wake of the Titan submersible's fatal voyage to the Titanic shipwreck ... the company says it's halting all operations.

In a statement Thursday, OceanGate says it's suspending all exploration and commercial operations in the wake of last month's tragedy, which killed OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and four others.

As you know, Stockton was piloting the Titan submersible when it imploded during a dive to the famed shipwreck ... killing everyone on board, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, French researcher/diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman.

OceanGate has several other submersibles aside from the Titan, but the company says none will be going below the surface any time soon.

The Titan wreckage was recently recovered from the bottom of the Atlantic ocean ... along with presumed human remains.

It's unclear when, if ever, OceanGate will resume operations.

Mexico Airport Freak-out Woman Goes Bananas, Destroys Electronics ... Caught on Video

Published | Updated

Bad behavior at airports and on commercial flights has plagued the U.S. of late -- and the problem has now spread south of the U.S. border.

Check out this insane video posted on Twitter ... which shows a woman going ballistic at a Volaris Airlines ticket counter in Mexico City International Airport on July 4.

In the clip, the lady picks up barcode scanners and computer monitors from the counter and smashes the items on the floor as a Volaris employee watches her in shock.

But the woman isn't through yet. She goes behind another counter and does the same thing, shattering electronic equipment on the ground.

According to the Daily Mail, the woman -- identified as Maria Guadalupe -- got angry when the Volaris ticket agent wouldn't refund her on the spot after he couldn't find her flight reservation.

Police reportedly arrested Guadalupe for disturbing the peace and damaging all the equipment.

The freak-out over the flight was just the latest in what has become an increasing trend. Unfortunately, the U.S. is ground zero for these types of outbursts whether they occur on commercial planes or in airports.

Colleen Ballinger Performed 'Single Ladies' in Blackface Backlash, Fallout Continues

Published | Updated
UPDATE

9:50 AM PT -- Sources close to Colleen tell us the internet got it all wrong. Colleen had actually performed a song from "Wicked" earlier in the show, and wore green face paint for the Wicked Witch of the West ... she never had a chance to wipe that paint off her face before "Single Ladies."

UPDATE

Colleen Ballinger's fall from grace is taking her to a new low -- she's getting raked over the coals for an old video of her in blackface, while singing a Beyoncé hit.

The YouTuber/comedian -- famous for her viral character Miranda Sings -- is again in the crosshairs of critics who dug up the problematic clip from her past ... a video showing Colleen with dark makeup on her mug as she sings along to "Single Ladies."

Unclear exactly what year this went down, but based on the Miranda Sings YouTube page, it seems to be sometime in 2017 or 2018 ... and while it's an unlisted post, it is still up. Some of the comments claim the blackface video was offered as an exclusive sneak peek to folks who bought Colleen's book, "My Diarrhe."

The resurfacing of the video comes at a very interesting time, because Colleen was recently accused of racism in another context -- resurfaced texts allegedly sent pertaining to her 2016 Netflix show, "Haters Back Off."

The texts, attributed to someone working with Colleen at the time, were about auditions they were conducting for the show, and the sender claimed Colleen made a crack about a Black actor ... allegedly saying, "WHERE IS HE" -- referring to the guy being very dark in bad lighting.

Of course, this latest backlash is on top of recent grooming allegations ... with people accusing her of reaching out to young fans in inappropriate ways.

Colleen responded to those claims in a bizarre apology video ... which had her singing/explaining away the behavior. It was deemed as tone-deaf, and didn't help.

Obviously, a blackface video -- mocking Beyoncé, no less -- won't do her any favors either ... remember, she's already had sponsors dropping her left and right.
