Sean Paul Earthquake Hits Mid-Interview ... Sprints Out of Room!!!
Sean Paul had to press pause on an interview when an earthquake rocked the building he was in at the time ... and he immediately got busy high-tailing it out of the room!
The rapper was chatting with artist Tofu Jack and director/producer of Vice Documentaries, Dan Zabludovsky, from his native Jamaica when a 5.4 magnitude quake hit near Kingston.
Just as Sean chimed into the convo about the music biz, his camera started shaking and you could see the whole room tremble ... and then he quickly left the frame. You can hear the sound of things shifting around in his room as Dan and Tofu watched in shock.
After some movement, Sean Paul's feed disappears -- unclear if his internet cut out, or if those running the stream got rid of it, anticipating the worst ... but Tofu Jack accidentally brought a bit of humor to the tense situation by adding an ill-timed sound effect.

BTW, the earthquake was a pretty big one for Jamaica .. and it set off some panic, and caused some mild property damage on the island. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.
Sean dropped a track last year called "Earthquake," but this ain't the kinda promotion anyone needs. Bless up yuself, SP!

SEAN PAUL TERREMOTO EN MEDIO DE UNA ENTREVISTA
Sean Paul tuvo que detener una entrevista cuando un terremoto sacudió el edificio en el que se encontraba en ese momento... ¡Y salió corriendo de la sala!
El rapero estaba charlando con el artista Tofu Jack y el director y productor de Vice Documentaries, Dan Zabludovsky, desde su Jamaica natal, cuando se produjo un terremoto de magnitud 5,4 cerca de Kingston.
En el momento en que Sean intervino en la conversación sobre el mundo de la música, su cámara empezó a temblar y se pudo ver cómo temblaba toda la habitación. Luego salió rápidamente del encuadre. Se puede escuchar el sonido de las cosas moviendose alrededor y a Dan y Tofu en estado de shock.
Después de un poco de movimiento, el feed de Sean Paul desapareció. No está claro si su Internet se cortó o cual fue la razon, pero ya se estaba anticipando lo peor... pero Tofu Jack accidentalmente trajo un poco de humor a la tensa situación mediante la adición de un efecto de sonido inoportuno.

El terremoto fue bastante grande para Jamaica y desató algo de pánico. Además causó algunos daños materiales leves en la isla. Afortunadamente no se han reportado heridos.
Sean lanzó una pista el año pasado llamada "Terremoto", ¿gran coincidencia no?

Hay algo... te sientes tan triste, especialmente porque no sabes necesariamente lo que estaba pasando".
Adele, vestida para Halloween como Morticia Adams, dedicó "When We Were Young" a Perry.

YouTuber Jack Doherty His Security Knocks a Dude Out ... Once Did Same for DaBaby
OCTOBER 2023
A YouTuber's bodyguard punched a guy's lights out -- all of which was caught on video ... and which reeks of déjà vu considering he did this before while working for DaBaby.
We're talking about Jack Doherty, who's pretty famous among the Gen Z crowd ... and who posted a wild clip of a violent altercation that went down Friday night during what looks to be some sort of Halloween party here in L.A. alongside fellow YouTuber Corinna Kopf.
It looks like Jack was arguing with a couple guys who were rolling with Corinna and her crew -- all stemming from an apparent snub she dished out to Jack while at the party -- and they're all bickering back and forth for a while ... until this security dude rolls up.
Eventually, he confronts one of the fellas Jack's facing off with ... and they start to exchange words -- which ultimately ends with JD's hired muscle throwing a haymaker out of nowhere.
The guy who gets punched -- who's way smaller than the bodyguard -- falls straight to the ground ... and his friends (including Corinna) start to yell at the perpetrator, asking him why he did that. The bodyguard backs away and tries cussing them out in his defense.
Jack seemed happy to post the clip online, and he added "context" underneath ... writing, "they were pressing us," which seems to mean that the guys he was initially arguing with were threatening him. But based on the longer version of this incident ... that's iffy at best.
SEPTEMBER 2019
Now, here's the kicker ... this bodyguard was actually wrapped up in something similar a few years back while working for DaBaby -- something the Internet was quick to remember.
We actually covered this at the time ... DB was performing in New Orleans, when he started getting swarmed by fans as he waded into the crowd -- at which point, this same man (who was working for DaBaby) threw a similar punch ... only then, he KO'd a freaking lady.
A closer look shows it is, indeed, the same man ... and we've figured out who the hell he is. He goes by Kane Kongg on social media. He's a content creator himself -- but obviously does bodyguard work on the side for the rich and famous.
Kane hasn't addressed this latest violent moment -- but when the DaBaby thing happened, he hopped online and tried clarifying what happened, chalking it up to him doing his job. Not sure that's gonna fly this time around though -- this hit looked completely unprovoked.

Taylor Swift OG '1989' Album Streams Skyrocket ... Following Rerecording

Exclusive
- 3.4K shares
Taylor Swift's recent rerelease of her "1989" album is a big win -- not just for the new stuff, but for the old versions, too, which kinda defeats Taylor's original purpose for rerecording!
According to stats from Spotify and YouTube, the 2014 version of Taylor's iconic album had over 15 MILLION streams after Friday's release of 'Taylor's Version.' YouTube data specifically shows 2.8 million streams on its platform alone -- with a wide majority replaying her music videos like "Blank Space" and "Shake It Off."
On Spotify, she's racked up 12.5M streams for the old album, despite the new music being available ... "Style" was the winner with over 2.5M, while "Blank Space," came in a very close second. Other big hits were "Bad Blood" and "Wildest Dreams."
Amazon data shows CD sales also went through the roof -- crazy, we know -- with her deluxe version selling 271% more than usual, while her traditional CD jumped up 189%.
That's not all in terms of physical media -- vinyl records of her OG album skyrocketed 210% as well .. moving its rank on the charts from 261 to 84.
Those astronomical increases might sound like great news -- but, remember, Taylor's only rerecording her first 6 albums because she wasn't able to buy the master recordings when Scooter Braun bought her former label, Big Machine.
Now she has full ownership of the rerecordings, but the unintended side effect of the latest 'Taylor's Version' is more money in the pockets of her former label. However, considering she just achieved billionaire status, we don't think Taylor's losing much sleep over it.

Eso no es todo en términos de medios físicos. Las ventas de vinilos de su álbum OG se dispararon 210%, moviendo su lugar en las listas del puesto 261 al 84.

Kanye West Report: Drew Swastikas, Praised Hitler Often In Early Adidas Meetings
Adidas shoulda seen Kanye West's antisemitic rants coming -- during one of his first meetings with the company, 11 years ago, he reportedly drew a swastika on a shoe sketch.
Shortly after signing on with the German sneaker giant in 2013, employees presented a bunch of shoe sketches to Kayne, which he did not like -- and, in response, he picked up a marker and drew a swastika over one of the sketches ... according to a NYT report.
That move shocked everyone in the room, especially because the meeting was reportedly going down close to Nuremberg, where Nazis infamously stood trial for war crimes after WW II.
Kanye set the bar with that move, though, because the NYT report claims, in future meetings, he advised "a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Adolf Hitler every day" -- and repeatedly told other Adidas employees what a "master marketer" Hitler was, and praised his "command of propaganda."
Keep in mind, Adidas remained in the Yeezy biz for nearly 10 years, and made a ton of money with Kanye, until last year ... when he started publicly spewing his antisemitic beliefs.
DECEMBER 2022
Adidas reportedly tripled Kanye's salary during a 2016 contract negotiation but added a morals clause in the deal -- perhaps because it was, by then, well aware of his affinity for Hitler and the Nazis.
The company used that morals clause to cut all ties with him in 2022 ... which Adidas said would end up costing it a billion dollars in revenue. It also bumped Kanye out of billionaire status.

Kanye West Reporte: Vistió esvásticas y alabó a Hitler a menudo En primeras reuniones con Adidas
Adidas debe haber visto venir los desplantes antisemitas de Kanye West. Un reporte revela que durante una de sus primeras reuniones con la empresa, hace once años, supuestamente dibujó una esvástica en un boceto de zapatillas.
Poco después de firmar con el gigante deportivo en 2012, los empleados le presentaron un montón de bocetos de zapatillas, que no le gustaron. En respuesta, Kanye cogió un rotulador y dibujó una esvástica sobre uno de los bocetos, según un reportaje del New York Times.
Ese movimiento conmocionó a todos en la sala, sobre todo porque la reunión se estaba llevando a cabo cerca de Nuremberg, donde los nazis infamemente fueron juzgados por crímenes de guerra después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Kanye sentó el tono con ese movimiento, porque el informe del NYT afirma que en futuras reuniones aconsejó a "un gerente judío de Adidas que besara una foto de Adolf Hitler todos los días", y repetidamente dijo a otros empleados de Adidas el gran genio que era Hitler en cuanto al marketing y elogió su "dominio de la propaganda."
Es importante tener en cuenta que Adidas se mantuvo en el negocio junto a Yeezy durante casi diez años e hizo una tonelada de dinero con Kanye hasta el año pasado, cuando comenzó a vomitar sus creencias antisemitas públicamente.
DECEMBER 2022
Adidas supuestamente triplicó el salario de Kanye durante una negociación de contrato en 2016, pero agregó una cláusula moral en el acuerdo, tal vez porque para entonces ya era muy consciente de su afinidad hacia Hitler y los nazis.
La compañía utilizó esa cláusula moral para cortar todos sus lazos con él en 2022, lo que le terminó costando mil millones de dólares en ingresos a la marca. También hizo que Kanye perdiera su estatus de multimillonario.
Tiroteo masivo en Maine Recordando a las 18 víctimas
Dieciocho personas fallecieron después del tiroteo masivo de esta semana en Maine, vidas que quedaron truncadas cuando Robert Card abrió fuego en un bowling y un restaurante... y la lista de sus víctimas incluye a personas de 70 años e incluso un niño de 14 años.
Los informes dicen que el adolescente Aaron Young estaba con su padre Bill en el bowling Just-In-Time Recreation el miércoles por la noche en Lewiston. Se encontraban allí para jugar y presenciar la liga de bolos de Aaron cuando el pistolero abrió fuego dentro del edificio. Tanto el padre como el hijo fueron asesinados.
Bob Violette, de 76 años, también perdió la vida en el bowling. Estaba como entrenador voluntario de la liga de bolos juvenil. Su compañero de trabajo le dijo a WBZ News que era un hombre "muy amable", "súper comprensivo" y "muy paciente con todo el mundo."
Tricia Asselin, de 53 años, fue tiroteada mientras intentaba llamar al 911 y el gerente del local Tommy Conrad, de 34 años, también murió mientras intentaba someter a Card.
Jason Walker y su amigo Michael Deslauriers II estaban en el bowling con sus esposas e hijos cuando sonaron los disparos. El padre de Michael dice que los dos hombres cargaron contra Card después de asegurarse de que sus familias estuvieran a salvo, y fue entonces cuando recibieron un disparo mortal.
Como se informó, Card salió del bowling y abrió fuego de nuevo en Schemengees Bar and Grille, matando a ocho personas más, incluyendo a Maxx Hathaway, un padre que estaba allí con su esposa embarazada Brenda y su hijo pequeño Lilian.
De acuerdo a su GoFundMe, la familia estaba en Schemengees cuando su esposa -que va a tener a su tercer hijo en poco más de un mes- decidió llevarse a su hijo pequeño a casa mientras Max se quedaba a jugar un poco más al billar.
Entre los muertos en el bar había varios miembros de la comunidad sorda, que estaban peleando un torneo de cornhole, incluyendo Bryan MacFarlane, Steven Vozzella, Billy Bracket y Joshua Seal.
Joseph Walker, de 56 años, era gerente de Schemengees y también fue abatido a tiros. Perdió la vida después de tratar de detener Card.
Como ustedes saben, Card también hirió a 13 personas durante su brutal ataque. Su casa en Bowdoin, Maine, fue rodeada por la policía el jueves por la noche, aunque él no se encontraba en casa. La persecución contra él sigue en marcha. Las tiendas de armas locales han visto un gran aumento en las ventas de armas de fuego y municiones en respuesta.

Maine Mass Shooting 18 Victims Remembered
Eighteen people are dead after this week's mass shooting in Maine -- lives cut short when Robert Card opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar -- and the list of his victims includes people in their 70s and even a 14-year-old boy.
Reports say teenager Aaron Young was with his father, Bill, at the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston Wednesday night for Aaron's bowling league when the gunman opened fire inside the building -- the father and son were both killed.
76-year-old Bob Violette also lost his life in the bowling alley. There for his volunteer job coaching the youth bowling league, his coworker told WBZ News he was "so kind," "super understanding," and "very patient with everybody."
53-year-old Tricia Asselin was gunned down while trying to call 911 at the bowling alley, and the location's manager, 34-year-old Tommy Conrad, died while trying to subdue Card.
Jason Walker and his friend Michael Deslauriers II were both at the alley with their wives and kids when the shots rang out -- Michael's father says the 2 men charged at Card after making sure their families were safe, and that's when they were fatally shot.
As we reported, Card left the bowling alley and opened fire once again on the crowd at Schemengees Bar and Grille, killing 8 more people ... including Maxx Hathaway, a father who was there with his pregnant wife, Brenda, and their toddler, Lilian.
According to their GoFundMe, the family was at Schemengees when his wife -- who is due with their 3rd child in just over a month -- took their little one home while he stayed behind to play some more pool.
Among those killed at the bar were several members of the deaf community, who were there for a cornhole tournament ... including Bryan MacFarlane, Steven Vozzella, Billy Bracket, and Joshua Seal.
56-year-old Joseph Walker, manager at Schemengees, was also gunned down ... losing his life after trying to stop Card.
As you know, Card also injured 13 people during his murder spree -- his Bowdoin, ME home was surrounded by police Thursday night, but he wasn't home. A manhunt is still underway for him, as local gun stores have seen a huge uptick in sales of firearms and ammo in response.

Windsurfista australiano Choca contra una enorme ballena mientras paseaba por el océano
Un windsurfista se llevó una sorpresa inesperada mientras surfeaba las olas de Australia esta semana y una enorme ballena lo golpeó mientras estaba en la mitad de su paseo. Por un momento, pensó que la criatura marina iba a matarlo.
Todo ocurrió el miércoles por la mañana, cuando Jason Breen abordaba una embarcación frente a la costa de una de las playas del norte de Sydney.
El hombre de 55 años navegaba por el agua en un agradable día, cuando de repente se estrelló contra una ballena.
En el video grabado por la cámara GroPro de Breen se puede ver que golpeó al mamífero con fuerza y en una entrevista con Windsurfing.TV horas después del incidente, dijo que también pensó que se iba a morir.
"Me arrastró unos 6 o 7 metros", dijo Breen. "Lo único que me salvó fue la correa. La correa se rompió por completo. Y si no hubiera sido así, probablemente no estaría aquí. Solo el chasquido de la cuerda del pie me salvó".
Breen cree que la ballena lo arrastró bajo el agua durante unos 20 segundos y pensó que "todo había terminado", según le contó a 9News.
Breen, sin embargo, fue capaz de reírse de todo después de escapar. Más tarde se enteró de que un espectador, Paul Nettlebeck, había capturado todo el incidente en su cámara desde unos pocos metros de distancia.
De hecho, Nettlebeck estaba tan nervioso después de presenciar todo, que llamó a las autoridades en Australia para que lo ayudaran.
Afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido y Breen tiene ahora un recuerdo que nunca olvidará.
Australian Windsurfer Slams Into Massive Whale During Ocean Ride ... 'I Thought It Was All Over'
A windsurfer got an unexpected surprise while hitting the waves in Australia this week ... a massive whale body-slammed him while he was mid-ride -- and for a moment, he thought the sea creature was going to kill him.
It all happened when Jason Breen was boarding off the coast of one of Sydney's northern beaches on Wednesday morning.
The 55-year-old was cruising on the water on a beautiful day ... when suddenly, he smashed right into a breeching whale.
You can see in video caught on Breen's GroPro cam ... he hit the mammal hard -- and in an interview with Windsurfing.TV hours after the incident, he said he feared his life was over.
"It did drag me down sort of 20-to-30 feet," Breen said. "The only thing that saved me was my leash. The webbing completely ripped out. And if it didn't, I probably wouldn't be here. It was only the snap of that leg rope that actually saved me."
Breen said he believed the whale dragged him under the water for around 20 seconds ... telling 9News, "I thought it was all over."
Breen, though, was able to laugh about it all after he escaped ... and then he found out a bystander, Paul Nettlebeck, actually happened to catch the moment on camera from a few hundred yards away.
Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.
In fact, Nettlebeck was so nervous after witnessing it all, he said called authorities in Australia to seek help.
Thankfully, no one was injured ... and Breen now has a memory he'll never forget.

H.S. Basketball Ref Punches Coach After Verbal Altercation ... Arrested

Exclusive
- 270 shares
A high school basketball game turned into a violent brawl over the weekend ... when a referee straight-up punched a coach following a verbal altercation -- resulting in his arrest.
TMZ Sports is told ... the incident went down during a fall league contest between Arlington and Oak Hills at Santiago High School in Corona, California on Saturday, Oct. 21.
At some point in the second half, witnesses claim Oak Hills head coach Rob Alexander got upset with referee Brandon Knapper over his officiating ... and an argument ensued.
In a clip we obtained of the game, 26-year-old Knapper -- a former college basketball player at West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Cal State San Bernardino -- can be seen approaching Alexander near Oak Hills' bench and briefly talking to him ... before unleashing his fist on the coach's face.
Knapper appeared to land more punches on Alexander as he fell to the court ... before players and others in attendance got involved.
We're told cops responded to the scene ... and Alexander was taken to the hospital. The game did not continue.
Law enforcement tells us Alexander requested prosecution against Knapper, who turned himself in and was charged with battery causing serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury -- both felonies.
Knapper was booked in the Riverside County Sheriff's Department jail on Sunday ... and his bail was set at $25,000. He was released on Wednesday.
Oak Hills' Hesperia Unified School District released a statement to TMZ Sports ... condemning Knapper's "senseless and shameful" actions.
"The District is thankful for the swift and decisive action taken by the event promoters and local law enforcement. We are also happy to report that Coach Alexander is in good spirits and looking forward to returning to coaching and teaching as soon as possible."
"We have the utmost confidence that law enforcement, CIF, and Oak Hills High School, with the support of the District, will investigate the incident thoroughly and handle it appropriately."
Knapper is due in court on Nov. 3.
