Plies Britney's Single Again ... Let's Party, Baby One More Time!!!
The fact a handful of Britney Spears' supporters are blaming Plies for sabotaging Britney and Sam Asghari's marriage isn't lost on the "Bust It Baby" rapper ... and he's been trolling them all morning with plenty of glee!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
A highly amused Plies hopped in his whip and took to IG on Thursday to troll the internet after we broke the story of their split and then covered Sam's divorce filing ... laughing manically while blasting Britney's iconic "...Baby One More Time" to the speaker's max volume!!!
Plies has made it a point to boost the buzz of several of Britney's bizarre dancing videos ... his IG is reminiscent of a mini BS shrine already after months of reacting ... and some passionate fans have already named him to be the scapegoat ... without any concrete evidence, of course.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Britney may be more concerned with buying herself a horse instead of her crumbling nuptials at the moment but as we reported, a pretty explosive argument and cheating allegations forced Sam to file for divorce ... and the situation could possibly take even more downturns.
Either way, it's all entertainment for Plies!!!

Flutie fit right in during his appearance ... entering the game by flailing around a box of his signature cereal, Flutie Flakes, and gathering his teammates together for a huddle and lining them up in formation on the mound before throwing a deep pass into the outfield.
The older fans in attendance loved the cameo ... but it wasn't the only one of the night -- ex-MLB star Johnny Damon also threw on an all-yellow jersey to try to help get the Nanners a win.

Barnes & Noble Sniffer Man Sniffing Women in Stores Released Despite History
AUGUST 2023
A California man caught on a viral TikTok sniffing women's butts at a Barnes & Noble was arrested last week ... but he's already back on the streets despite a lengthy criminal record.
The disturbing clip made the rounds online last week -- the man, who law enforcement sources believe is 36-year-old Calese Carron Crowder, is seen going up to women from behind and allegedly smelling them.
According to online records, Crowder was arrested last week for what appears to be a separate, misdemeanor incident in Glendale. He was released a few days later.
What's shocking is that records show Crowder has a very long list of arrests over the years, but was let go relatively quickly after the August arrest.
Our sources say Burbank PD is currently working on handing over its findings regarding its investigation of the Barnes & Noble sniffing ordeal to the D.A., but no charges for that incident have been filed against Crowder as of now.

IShowSpeed Accidentally Flashes Junk During Stream
Popular gamer and internet personality IShowSpeed showed a lot more than speed during his recent YouTube live stream ... accidentally exposing his junk in front of thousands of viewers.
The super-famous streamer -- who has 19.4 million subscribers on the platform alone -- was playing "Five Nights at Freddy's," when he decided to stand up and thrust in front of the camera as the character "Chica" appeared on screen.
IShowSpeed Returns To YouTube Streaming, Addresses Penis Incident
"Oh, Chica, I miss you," Speed -- real name Darren Watkins Jr. -- seemingly said during the stream. "I'm about to f*** you, Chica. Oh s***, this d*** up in you, baby."
But during his excitement, Speed's penis slipped through his shorts ... and he was immediately horrified.
"Oh my God, oh my God," Speed said before appearing to cut the stream short.
It could be bad news for Speed -- YouTube has strict guidelines regarding nudity ... and he could face banishment from the platform depending on how the company interprets the mishap.
As of this post, his account is still live ... but his stream was removed from his page.
The timing is pretty crazy -- Speed just made his big return to streaming after taking a few weeks off to deal with a medical emergency involving his eye.
We've reached out to Speed and YouTube for comment.

Twins' Christian Vazquez Drilled In Helmet By Foul Ball In On-Deck Circle ... Somehow OK
Terrifying moment for Christian Vazquez during the Twins game Wednesday ... he was struck in the helmet by a foul ball while he was standing in the on-deck circle -- but somehow, he ended up being OK.
The crazy scene happened just minutes ago while Donovan Solano was up to bat against Tigers pitcher Reese Olson.
The Minnesota first baseman took a big hack on a slider, but he just missed barreling it up -- and the ball went foul ... making a beeline right for Vazquez's head.

The baseball ended up clanking off the Twins' catcher's helmet with force -- though, miraculously, Vazquez emerged unscathed.
You can see in a replay from the game's broadcast, the ball just barely caught the brim of Vazquez's helmet ... saving him from a potentially gnarly injury.
Vazquez would go on to fly out to right field ... a frustrating result no doubt made much easier to swallow given how bad things could have been just seconds prior.
The game, meanwhile, is still going on ... with Vazquez's squad up 4-3.

Matador Violently Gored In Ass In Bullfight ... Miraculously OK
One tough matador is on the mend after getting gored in the ass during a recent bullfight ... but despite the horrifying scene, he says he's doing OK.
It all went down this week at the annual Prieto de la Cal in Madrid ... when Alejandro Conquero -- the son of famous matador The Hurricane of Huelva -- challenged a white bull with a pink cape.
In footage of the competition, the 28-year-old matador clearly held his own until one of the bull's horns caught him ... and he got sent flying into the air.
That's when it turned gruesome -- the massive bull rammed his horns right into Conquero's rear end and threw him up several feet for a second time.
Thankfully, other matadors jumped into the ring to divert the bull away from Conquero ... and he was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Doctors told COPE that Conquero suffered "a goring in the posterior perianal region, which dissects the rectum through the coccyx and could affect the external sphincter of the anus" ... but the matador says he feels fine.
"I am excited and I give a thousand thanks to those who at this time have thought or have been interested in me," Conquero said per his IG story.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
"The evolution is positive, there is no fever, pain, the normal one but with the hope of being able to dress up soon. Thank you very much."
The goring comes just weeks after the "Messi of Matadors" was struck by a 1,100-pound bull in Spain during a show ... suffering injuries to his neck, face, and legs.
Get well soon, Conquero ... and be sure to ice up.

Bradley Cooper Trailer for Leonard Bernstein Biopic Triggers 'Jewface' Debate
Bradley Cooper is being dragged over his portrayal of legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein, and one of the criticisms is at least worth talking about, while the other is utterly ridiculous.
Cooper stars in "Maestro," chronicling the life of the New York Philharmonic conductor, who happens to be Jewish.
One criticism is that Cooper wore a prosthetic nose for the role, which some folks online are calling a "Jewface" stereotype. Point of fact -- Bernstein did have a large nose, so we suppose that's a fair issue to debate.
The ridiculous criticism ... some folks are slamming Cooper, who is not Jewish, and producers for casting him in a role that could have gone to a Jewish actor.
Note to critics -- Bernstein became famous because he was a great conductor who HAPPENED to be Jewish. So if Neil Armstrong were Mormon, should producers only cast a Mormon actor to play him? Absurd.
BTW ... the movie was produced by Steven Spielberg ... 'nuff said.

'Stranger Things' Catfish Woman Sent $10k To Fake Actor ... That Wasn't Billy!!!
A woman's life turned upside-down when she sent a bunch of money to one of the stars from "Stranger Things" ... and even divorced her husband because the "actor" told her to.
McKayla, a single mom from Kentucky, claims she was catfished and scammed out of $10k by someone who claimed to be Dacre Montgomery -- known for playing heartthrob-turned-villain, Billy Hargrove, in the Netflix series.
She shared her wild experience on the YouTube channel, Catfished, saying the 2 met on an online forum and chatted for a year before he asked her to be his girlfriend -- for reference, McKayla was still married, but claimed her relationship with her husband was toxic.
BTW, the real Dacre has been dating model Liv Pollock since 2017, but that bit of crucial info didn't seem to stop McKayla from thinking this was legit. He told her to choose between her husband and him ... and shockingly enough, she ditched her husband!
He also told her he couldn't access any of his bank accounts, saying they were all controlled by Liv ... which led to her sending the $10k of gift cards, crypto, and cash through payment apps over time.
For those unaware, this type of thing is often referred to as a "romance scam" -- finding someone emotionally vulnerable and gaining their trust, getting them to send money through unconventional ways like gift cards, often to hide a paper trail.

When Furries Attack Man Beaten With Megaphone ... At Fandom's Beach Meetup
A hairy situation unfolded during a furry meetup at the beach ... after things turned physical and one man was conked in the head with a megaphone.
The fist-to-paw scuffle went down in Huntington Beach Saturday -- according to the video, the furry donning a pirate hat used their megaphone to push up against the man who was filming, threatening to force them to leave if he didn't do so willingly.
Things turned ugly fast ... the furry whacked him in the head with the megaphone, and more folks rushed over to the scene as things were taken to the sand. Another furry even came into the mix as the crowd grew around them.
The man who took the beating started screaming after the brawl was over ... shouting, "This is what furries do to you!" Unclear exactly what led to all of this -- but some online claimed the guy filming them was what set the whole thing off.
It's also unclear if the fandom's beach bash resumed after all was said and done ... or if everyone headed home with their tails tucked between their legs.

Exclusive

Tan Mom is throwing her hat in the ring to become the next U.S. Senator from the state of Florida.
Patricia Krentcil, the government name we assume she'd use in D.C., filed paperwork Monday with the Federal Elections Commission to officially run for U.S. Senate in 2024.
Tan Mom's Senate campaign comes on the heels of her latest reality TV show, "Tan to 10," a docuseries following her attempt to quit tanning as part of what she calls an "extreme life makeover."
Patricia says she forged a bond with the LGBTQ+ community during her life makeover and she wants to use those connections to spark change in Washington D.C. with her Senate bid.
Tan Mom -- a frequent guest on "The Howard Stern Show" -- is going up against incumbent Senator Rick Scott, so she's fighting an uphill battle here ... but she's already launched her campaign website and is running as a Republican based out of Boca Raton, naming her producers Gregg Maliff and Adam Barta as her campaign managers.
A single mother to 5 children, Tan Mom says her campaign platforms include LGBTQ+ equality and bringing diversity back to the classrooms -- both hot-button issues in the Sunshine State -- and she's aiming to connect with voters during a slew of upcoming community appearances,
Tan Mom tells TMZ ... "I know that I am different. And I have suffered for it. But us all being different is what makes this country so amazing and unique."
The 2024 campaign trail just got a little more bronze!

WOMAN POURING SODA ON BLACK KID SUED BY PARENTS ... Claim She Called Him N-Word Too
-
Exclusive
- 1.8K shares
The white apartment manager in North Carolina on video hitting a Black 11-year-old and pouring soda on him is being taken to court by the kid's parents.
Robert Eury and Joella Lee-Eury filed a federal lawsuit against Kimberly Jennings, claiming she got physical with their son and 8-year-old daughter because they were using the pool at the apartment complex she manages.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the parents claim their kids were swimming in the pool at an apartment complex where their friends live when Jennings ordered them out of the water.
The parents say their kids were attempting to leave when Jennings approached their son and "poured soda over his head and struck him in the face multiple times all because him and his little sister was swimming in a pool at the property she manages."
In their suit, the parents claim Jennings also pulled their daughter's hair and hit her after ordering the kids out of the pool. The parents even claim Jennings told their son "he was acting like a real n*****."
Jennings was later arrested on an assault charge, but the parents say their kids are still reeling from the pool incident ... so now they're suing for discrimination, assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The parents are going after Jennings, the apartment complex and the real estate company for damages.

Sandra Bullock Twitter Wants Her 'Blind Side' Oscar Pulled ... After Oher Controversy
Twitter is home to a lot of ridiculous opinions, but the latest trend involving Sandra Bullock might be the app's worst ... users are calling for her to lose her Oscar on the heels of "The Blind Side" controversy.
It's about as crazy as it sounds, especially since there's zero evidence Bullock -- who played Leigh Anne Tuohy in the movie -- had any clue of the drama behind the scenes with Michael Oher and the Tuohy family.
One user wrote, "So Sandra Bullock should have to give back her Oscar right, and man do we need to start checking these good feeling stories. The parents blocked $300 in earnings the movie from him getting any of it and gave the money to their real children? WOOOOOOOW!"
Another says, "If the Michael Oher allegations are true then we have to go AND TAKE THE OSCAR back from Sandra Bullock and give it to Gabourey Sidibe for 'Precious'" and "Sandra Bullock should give her Oscar back. She knows she didn't deserve that s***."
However, there's also people coming to her defense, writing, "Not y'all calling for Sandra Bullock's Oscar to be revoked. It ain't her fault the real life people were exploitative scammers and thieves," and "You know Sandra Bullock deserved her Oscar because she acted so well, she made the Tuohy family likeable."
As we reported, the former NFL star claims the Tuohy family never adopted him -- as the movie suggests -- but he was instead placed under a conservatorship. Oher claims the family made a ton of cash off his life story in "The Blind Side," while he got nothing.
Sean Tuohy is calling BS on Oher, saying the family's only option to legally make him part of their family was a conservatorship -- as he was over 18 -- and each family member made about $14,000 from the movie ... including Oher.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Pro Baseball Game Insane Backflip Catch In Center ... Bananas!!!
This may be one of the greatest catches you'll ever see in a baseball game -- albeit, totally unnecessary -- but still, amazing!
It all went down during the Savannah Bananas -- an exhibition baseball team known for their crazy and fun on-field antics -- world tour in Hartford, CT on Monday night.
BACKFLIP CATCH FROM THE SAVANNAH BANANAS pic.twitter.com/r7yM55oVTE
— Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) August 15, 2023 @JomboyMedia
The Bananas were taking on the Party Animals, who were at the plate in the 2nd inning. With the count 3 and 1, an Animals player hit a routine pop-up to center field.
But, the catch was anything but routine.
Centerfielder DR Meadows settled under the ball, but instead of simply making the easy out, Meadows busted out a backflip that'd make Simone Biles blush, catching the ball in the same motion, landing with the ball in his glove.

The Savanah Bananas are the most fun team in baseball ... and the catch is just the latest example. There was the bat on fire. Or, the hit by pitch. The in-field dance routine, and the list goes on and on.
Not quite Willie Mays, but an amazing catch! ⚾

Beyoncé 'I Love You, Lizzo!!!' Shows Support After Cutting Name
Beyoncé is setting the record straight on her feelings toward Lizzo -- not only is she back to name-dropping the artist in song, she also singled her out with a loving shout-out.
Bey was bringing the house down, per usual, Monday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in ATL, and performed "Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)," which supports her fellow female artists -- including Lizzo -- by shouting them out.
You may recall, Lizzo was notably absent from the song's callout section during a Beyoncé show earlier this month, but she was back on the lineup a couple of days later. Bey took things a step further this time, though -- saying, "I love you, Lizzo!"
The crowd certainly took that as a sign -- one fan in the crowd even responded, "OK!"
As we reported, Beyoncé ditched Lizzo's name at a Massachusetts show on August 1 ... coming directly after the "About Damn Time" singer was slapped with a lawsuit from 3 of her former dancers, claiming she created a hostile work environment with alleged sexual harassment and fat-shaming, among other things.
Lizzo, for what it's worth, has denied the allegations against her ... and it looks like Beyoncé's got Lizzo's back, and then some.

Chicago Train Shocker Two Concertgoers Get Zapped By Third Rail Video Shows
A pair of 20-somethings were on their way to a Lollapalooza concert, but ended up in the hospital instead ... this after they sat down on the third rail in an Illinois train station and got zapped.
What’s even more shocking … the horrifying incident was all caught on video, which was shared online. Check it out for yourself … the two were parked next to each other on the third rail in Chicago’s Ridgeland Station earlier this month.
People were milling about on the platform above … but no one seemed particularly concerned about their well-being. All of a sudden, the young man got electrocuted, his body was shaking and going rigid as he clung to the woman beside him. She, too, was jolted by the voltage -- and, subsequently, both went limp. A friend sitting next to them pulled them off the third rail before emergency service units arrived.
The two victims were rushed to a local hospital, where the unconscious man was in critical condition. The woman suffered less severe injuries and was said to be "improving." Their buddy was not seriously hurt. The trio reportedly jumped onto the tracks to take selfies while waiting for the train to take them to the Lollapalooza Festival in Grant Park on August 5.
