Ex-MMA fighter Javier Baez didn't just body slam a crazed knife-wielding assailant; he also "choked him out" ... telling TMZ his 15 years of pro training finally came in handy in the streets.

As we reported, the shocking clip making the rounds online shows Javier's attacker, Omar Marrero, didn't stand a fighting chance when he charged ... even though he had a 14-inch knife in his hand.

Javier tells us it all started while he was minding his biz, sitting in his car and talking to his fiancee -- he says that's when Marrero banged on his car window, shattering it.

He told Marrero to beat it, and warned he was going to call the police, but Omar brandished the giant knife -- and while some people would've driven off at that point, Javier stepped out of his car and the fight was on!

As you've seen, Javier body slammed Marrero to the ground, but what's harder to see is that he also blocked the knife by applying a chokehold ... which made the assailant pass out.

He then called the cops, and Marrero woke up with Javier's foot on his back.

With his amazing piece of ass-kicking going viral, Javier says he's getting a slew of calls from folks who want to hire him for personal and self-defense training.

Una investigación interna del camión eléctrico de Alan Ruck no ha encontrado ningún indicio de mal funcionamiento antes de su accidente contra una pizzería en Hollywood.

Un portavoz de Rivian le dice a TMZ que comprobaron los datos sobre el vehículo y encontraron que el camión funcionaba según lo diseñado, no había ninguna indicación de mal funcionamiento y están cooperando plenamente con la investigación en curso de la policía local sobre el incidente.

Como informamos por primera vez, la principal teoría de la policía de Los Ángeles de lo que causó el accidente se centró en el nuevo y llamativo Rivian R1T de alta tecnología del actor.

Como informamos, los policías especularon que las características innovadoras de la camioneta podrían haber sido las culpables, ya que la estrella no estaba bajo la influencia de alcohol o drogas, distraído o afectado de otro modo durante el accidente.

Si aún no lo sabías, el camión cuenta con tres sistemas de tracción a las cuatro ruedas, lo que significa que puede ir de 0-60 MPH en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

An internal investigation of Alan Ruck's electric truck has found no indication of malfunction prior to his crash into a pizza shop in Hollywood.

A spokesperson for Rivian tells TMZ they checked the data on the vehicle and found the truck performed as designed, there was no indication of malfunction, and they are fully cooperating with local law enforcement’s ongoing investigation of the incident.

As we first reported, the LAPD's main theory of what caused the wreck focused on the actor's flashy new high-tech Rivian R1T getting the better of him.

As we reported, cops speculated the truck's innovative features may have been to blame as the star was not under the influence, distracted, or otherwise impaired during the accident.

If you didn't already know, the truck features three all-wheel drive systems -- meaning it can go from 0-60 MPH in a bolt.

A Canadian woman had a "whoa baby" moment after giving birth to her little boy, who turned out to be ENORMOUS!!!

Late last month, Britteney Ayres welcomed her 14-pound, 8-ounce infant measuring precisely 21.65 inches at Cambridge Memorial Hospital in Ontario. She and her husband, Chance, named their fifth child, Sonny, who is more than double the size of an average tot.

Sonny, who was delivered by cesarean section, is already shattering records, scoring the highest birth weight of any baby at the hospital since 2010.

The couple was so excited they went on Good Morning America to talk all about their new bundle of joy.

Chance said, "Never in our wildest dreams did we think he'd be that big," while Britteney called Sonny a "blessing." She added that she was happy to be at home with her "good support system" after her stay in the hospital.

Sonny will now get to hang out with his four other siblings: Chance, 6, Everett, 5, Lucky, 3, and older sister, Marigold, 1.

Some alleged culprits turned to heavy machinery to carry out their heist ... taking a construction backhoe and digging right into the store.

Check out the wild clip, which reportedly took place Monday morning at an ampm store in Oakland, CA ... the excavation equipment blasts through the wall, with the store's clerk barely gettin' out of there before the crooks start the teardown.

While the shop's glass was bulletproof, it clearly wasn't backhoe-proof -- after getting the claw through the wall, the machine then goes after the ATM inside. Eventually, the thieves in question chain up the ATM, attached to a truck outside, and make their getaway.

Store owner Ali Abdulla told ABC7 there's "at least $70,000" worth of damages after the excavation. Ali says he's frustrated by what happened to his store, and thinks the only way to run a shop in his area these days is to "sleep in your store and stay locked and loaded with an AK-47 and just be ready because the police is not coming on time."

He notes, however, that he isn't putting the blame on Oakland PD -- claiming there simply aren't enough cops working.

Un momento aterrador pasó la familia de la superestrella del fútbol Neymar. En la madrugada de este martes, tres hombres supuestamente irrumpieron en el condominio de su pareja Bruna Biancardi en Sao Paulo en un intento de atacarla a ella y a su bebé recién nacido.

Neymar y Bruna, que empezaron a salir en 2021, no estaban en casa en ese momento, según los medios locales, pero los padres de ella estaban presentes cuando los intrusos supuestamente entraron en la residencia.

Los informes afirman que dos hombres armados y otro sospechoso ataron a los padres de Bruna y procedieron a saquear la casa de la influencer, llevándose artículos de lujo como relojes, bolsos de diseño y joyas.

Según el diario R7, los sospechosos supuestamente buscaban a la hija de Neymar y Bruna, Mavie, que nació a principios de octubre. De hecho, el delantero del Al Hilal compartió el lunes una foto con su hija.

Afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido, y los vecinos se apresuraron a avisar a la seguridad durante el asalto a la vivienda.

Uno de los sospechosos, de 20 años, fue detenido durante el acto. Se cree que es vecino de Bruna y que utilizó su acceso al vecindario para permitir que los otros sospechosos entraran por la puerta.

Los otros dos sospechosos siguen libre, pero hasta ahora, uno ha sido identificado.

Terrifying moment for soccer superstar Neymar's family -- three men reportedly broke into his partner Bruna Biancardi's Sao Paulo condo early Tuesday morning in an attempt to target her and their newborn baby.

Neymar and Bruna -- who started dating in 2021 -- weren't home at the time, according to local outlets ... but her parents were present when the intruders allegedly entered the residence.

Reports state two armed men and another suspect tied up Bruna's parents and proceeded to ransack the influencer's place ... taking luxury items like watches, designer purses and jewelry.

According to R7 newspaper, the suspects were allegedly looking for Neymar and Bruna's baby girl Mavie -- who was born in early October. In fact, the Al Hilal striker shared a picture with his child on Monday.

Thankfully, no one was injured ... and neighbors were quick to notify security during the home invasion.

One of the suspects -- a 20-year-old -- was arrested during the act. It is believed he is Bruna's neighbor and used his access to the neighborhood to allow the other suspects in the gate.

The other two suspects are still on the loose ... but so far, one has been identified.

Timbaland happily came to Justin Timberlake's defense when the topic of Britney Spears' best-selling memoir came up -- but his response has Britney's army of fans declaring war on the superproducer!!!

Fans caught wind Tuesday of the sly remark Tim made during his Oct. 29 live interview with 9th Wonder at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

In response to Britney's "The Woman In Me" memoir -- in which she says JT got her pregnant back in 2000, and they decided to abort the baby -- Timbaland told the D.C. crowd his "SexyBack" collaborator should've "put a muzzle on that girl."

He also said he doesn't blame Britney for having loose lips, because that's what you have to do to go viral, and that's the name of the game in the current social media era of showbiz.

The audience got a good chuckle over Tim's response but Britney's fans are doing the opposite of laughing -- they're calling for him to apologize, and think he's actually harboring a now decades-old vendetta against Britney.

Back in 2007, Timbaland told MTV that Britney dissed him and JT, and she needed to apologize if they were ever going to work together.

That didn't happen .. Britney went on to drop her "Blackout" album with beats from Timbaland's former protégé Danja, and, clearly, there are still lingering tensions!!!

¡¡¡Timbaland salió alegremente en defensa de Justin Timberlake cuando surgió el tema del best-seller de Britney Spears en una entrevista, pero su respuesta tiene al ejército de fans de la cantante declarándole la guerra al superproductor!!!

Los fans se enteraron el martes del comentario que hizo Tim durante su entrevista en vivo con 9th Wonder en el Kennedy Center for Performing Arts el pasado 29 de octubre.

En respuesta a las memorias de Britney "The Woman In Me", en las que dice que Justin la dejó embarazada en el año 2000 y decidieron abortar, Timbaland le dijo a la multitud de D.C. que su colaborador de "SexyBack" debería haber "puesto un bozal a esa chica".

También dijo que no culpa a la cantante por tener los labios sueltos, porque eso es lo que hay que hacer para ser viral hoy en día, ese es el juego de las redes sociales.

El público se rio con la respuesta de Tim, pero los fans de Britney están haciendo todo lo contrario: le están pidiendo que se disculpe, y creen que en realidad está albergando una venganza de décadas contra Britney.

En 2007, Timbaland dijo a MTV que Britney les había faltado al respeto a él y a Justin Timberlake y que tenía que disculparse si alguna vez iban a trabajar juntos.

Embattled U.S. Senator Bob Menendez is hearing renewed calls for his resignation, but this time it's coming with big laughs ... courtesy of a satirical movie trailer-inspired message.

The 2-minute clip uses cinematic voice-over calling out Menendez for his long list of alleged grievances -- federal corruption and bribery, to name a couple -- and also mixes in scenes from the 1991 comedy, "What About Bob?"

The result is hilarious clips of Richard Dreyfuss complaining about Bob ... hammering home New Jersey's frustrations with the fact the Senator won't step down from office amid the ongoing investigation into his alleged crimes.

The trailer also uses actual footage and soundbites from Menendez and his wife Nadine Arslanian Menendez -- including interviews where he's asked directly, "Don't you serve your state better by resigning now?"

Of course, the Senator confidently replies nope!

The clip also mockingly refers to him as "Senator Bob Menendez (D-Egypt)" ... referring to the fact he's accused of monopolizing the Egyptian market for importing halal meat. It also calls him out for threatening the Democratic Party's majority in the Senate.

The senator's enemies are urging folks on X to repost the trailer in order to urge Menendez to resign immediately. Don't hold your breath for that, however, film reviews are pouring in for the trailer.

A famous strip club in Sin City is saluting active-duty military and veterans ... with free lap dances on Veterans Day!!!

Montana Tucker dice que no se siente segura como una persona judía en los Estados Unidos y teme que el odio hacia los judíos en línea sea parte de un problema mayor.

La cantante se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el lunes y nos dijo que sus populares mensajes de TikTok son ahora pozos negros de comentarios antisemitas y solo está empeorando.

Montana, que tuvo familiares que murieron en el Holocausto, dice que la gente se siente envalentonada para vomitar odio contra los judíos, no solo en las redes sociales, sino también en la vida real.

Para Montana, su contenido de canto y baile ahora está plagado de comentarios de odio de antisemitas que le dicen que merece morir simplemente porque es judía e incluso hay algunos negadores del Holocausto.

Montana dice que el hate es realmente intenso en estos momentos como resultado de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, pero ella dice que se ha estado gestando desde hace un tiempo, primero se agudizó el año pasado cuando publicó una docuserie sobre Auschwitz, donde su familia murió en campos de concentración.

Las cosas están tan mal para los creadores judíos en TikTok, Montana nos dice que ella y otros no se sienten seguros, y dice que está liderando un grupo de celebridades que están presionando la plataforma para tomar medidas enérgicas contra el antisemitismo.

Montana también dice que muchas personas que vienen después de ella en los comentarios están apoyando a Hamás a pesar de que es una organización terrorista conocida por su terrible tratamiento de las personas LGBTQ + y las mujeres.

Montana Tucker says she doesn't feel safe as a Jewish person in America ... and she fears the hate towards Jewish people online is part of a larger problem.

The singer joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and told us her popular TikTok posts are now cesspools for antisemitic comments ... and it's only getting worse.

Montana, who had family members die in the Holocaust, says people feel emboldened to spew hate against Jews ... not only on social media but also in real life.

For Montana, her singing and dancing content is now littered with hateful comments from antisemites telling her she deserves to die simply because she's Jewish ... and there are even a few Holocaust deniers.

Montana says the hate is really bad right now as a result of the Israel-Hamas war ... but she says it's been brewing for a while, first ratcheting up last year when she posted a docuseries about Auschwitz, where her family died in concentration camps.

Things are so bad for Jewish creators on TikTok, Montana tells us she and others don't feel safe ... and she's leading a group of celebs pressuring the platform to crack down on antisemitism.

Montana also says lots of people coming after her in the comments are supporting Hamas ... even though it's a terrorist organization known for its awful treatment of LGBTQ+ people and women.

Los manifestantes antipetróleo pisaron el acelerador en su última demostración de activismo medioambiental, rompiendo un valioso cuadro cubierto de cristal.

Esta intervención tuvo lugar el lunes en la Galería Nacional de Londres, donde se puede ver la pintura de Diego Velázquez siendo absolutamente aplastada por un par de miembros de "Just Stop Oil", que tienen un historial de destruir el arte para mostrar su punto.

En este caso, fueron sorprendidos con las manos en la masa una vez más, solo que esta vez, en lugar de hacer un lío salpicando un poco de mierda en una pintura, decidieron simplemente martillar.

Este chico y esta chica, que lucen con orgullo sus camisetas de la JSO, se lanzan contra esta obra de Velázquez, conocida como la "Venus de Rokeby". No pudieron llegar al cuadro que hay debajo, pero destrozaron el exterior.

La Policía Metropolitana de Londres confirma que los dos activistas fueron detenidos bajo sospecha de daños criminales, pero hay algo más que sospechas aquí, la evidencia es clara y condenatoria.

Por cierto, el cuadro ya tenía antecedentes de vandalismo. Ya en 1914, la sufragista Mary Richardson rajó la obra de arte de la "mujer más bella del mundo" por a) la desnudez representada por la mirada masculina y b) para hacer una declaración política tras la detención de su compatriota, Emmeline Pankhurst que presionó para que las mujeres obtuvieran el voto.

Recuerde, este mismo grupo se ha labrado una reputación como destructores de arte. Han ido por ahí salpicando pintura y sopa en otras pinturas famosas en Europa y siempre usan las mismas camisetas fácilmente reconocibles.

Uno pensaría que los guardias de seguridad del museo debieron pensarlo dos veces antes de dejarlos entrar.

Anti-oil protestors hit the gas on their latest display of environmental activism ... breaking through a glass ceiling of sorts ... or a pricey glass-covered painting, is more like it.

This wild display of a demonstration went down Monday at London's National Gallery -- which was housing the Diego Velázquez painting you see here ... getting absolutely crushed by a couple of Just Stop Oil advocates, who have a history of destroying art to make their point.

In this case, they were caught red-handed yet again ... only this time, instead of making a mess by splashing some crap on a painting -- they decided to just hammer away.

Watch ... this guy and gal -- who are proudly rocking their JSO shirts -- go to town on the glass cover of this Velázquez artwork, which is known as the Rokeby Venus. It doesn't look like they were able to get to the actual painting underneath, but they crushed the exterior.

London's Metro Police confirm the two activists were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage ... but there's more than just suspicion here, the evidence is clear and damning.

BTW, the painting already had some history of being vandalized. Back in 1914, suffragette Mary Richardson slashed the artwork of the "most beautiful woman in the world" for a) the nudity depicted by the male gaze and b) to make a political statement following the arrest of her compatriot, Emmeline Pankhurst .. who pushed for women to get the vote.

Remember, this same group has carved a rep for itself as art destroyers. They've gone around splashing paint and soup at other famous paintings there in Europe ... and each time, they're always wearing these same easily recognizable tees.

You'd think these museum security guards would wise up and stop letting them in.
