FORKING CRAZY SCENE

This may be the slowest chase in police history ... San Diego cops went after a woman who allegedly stole a forklift, and she didn't have a fighting chance.

You see in the video cops ordering the driver to stop. The reality is ... they could have just casually walked up to the lift and subdued the driver, which is essentially what happened.

The woman was first spotted at a traffic light when she made a U-turn into a Ross parking lot. A bystander gave cops and assist by grabbing the keys out of the ignition.

The woman was cited, and no word on whether she'll be charged. But, here's the rub ... they haven't been able to find the owner of the forklift, although now we're hearing it may have been taken from a Midas shop.

JAMS FOR JABS

Yo-Yo Ma decided to do what he does best to celebrate COVID immunity ... he played his cello for those right behind him.

The famed musician received his second dose at Berkshire Community College in Massachusetts Saturday and you could call this bookends.

Exactly a year ago Yo-Yo Ma posted a recording of himself playing music with the hashtag, @Songs Of Comfort. This was posted at a time of fear, and now there are signs of hope.

It's interesting ... there are other clinics administering the vaccine where music is everywhere.  Doctors say it's calming for people who are anxious about getting the vaccine. Some clinics actually encourage dancing ... making the atmosphere friendly and celebratory rather than scary.

As for Yo-Yo Ma's latest performance ... as one State Representative said, it brought "hope and optimism through his beautiful music."

Charlie Hebdo Magazine Cover QE2 Kneels on Meghan's Neck ... Mocking George Floyd

Published | Updated

The killing of George Floyd has been recreated in an awful attempt at parody -- with a French magazine using Queen Elizabeth as Derek Chauvin kneeling on Meghan Markle.

Charlie Hebdo just released a new edition of its weekly publication -- and it features a crudely drawn cartoon version of QE2 pressing down on the Duchess of Sussex's neck ... who's laid down on the ground and struggling for air -- much like George Floyd last year.

The caption reads ... "POURQUOI MEGHAN A QUITTE BUCKINGHAM," which translates to "Why Meghan left Buckingham." There's a quote bubble coming from Meghan as well in the drawing, which roughly comes out to, "because I couldn't breathe anymore."

The message they're trying to communicate -- or so it seems -- is that Meghan felt smothered by Royal racism (headed up by the Queen). It turns out to be a swing and a miss -- 'cause folks aren't entertained.

Many are calling the magazine racist ... demanding they pull the new issue. While Charlie Hebdo pegs itself as a satire, a lot of people say this goes way too far -- mocking Floyd's death for cheap thrills. Not only that, but it's inaccurate ... according to Harry and Meghan.

Remember, Harry explicitly ruled out his grandmother and grandfather as the party who allegedly brought up skin color concerns as it pertained to Archie. There's a lot of speculation it was either Prince Charles or Prince William -- but the latter denied as much.

In any case ... Charlie Hebdo hasn't responded to the criticism.

Uber Woman, Arna Kimiai Sued Over 2019 Car Crash ... Other Driver Alleges Serious Injuries

Published

Arna Kimiai -- the woman who filmed herself driving 122 MPH last summer and who coughed on and attacked an Uber driver last week -- has another vehicular mess on her plate ... she's being sued over a 2019 car crash.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... a woman filed a civil suit against Arna last month, alleging Kimiai made an unsafe turn and struck her vehicle in L.A.

The woman's accusing Arna of negligent driving and "failing to keep a proper lookout for other vehicles," claiming she suffered severe injuries and is dealing with pain and suffering to this day as a result of the wreck.

She's suing Arna for damages, medical expenses and loss of earnings.

As we've reported ... Kimiai's also facing possible criminal charges over the recent altercation with a Bay-area Uber driver, who recorded the incident showing Kimiai and her friend assaulting him.

Kimiai coughed on the guy and ripped his mask off, and she's expected to turn herself in to police for the incident. She was also banned by Uber and Lyft.

DANGEROUS DRIVING

And, then there's this -- Arna posted a video of herself last June behind the wheel of a McLaren sports car ... in which it looks like she hits 122 MPH on the highway while recording it.

APPALLING COMMENTS
UPDATE

3:51 PM PT -- The man who made the racist comments is apologizing for his words -- and chalking the whole thing up to a diabetic episode.

UPDATE

We spoke with 44-year-old Matt Rowan who admits it's HIS voice making the insanely offensive comments about the girl's basketball team while they were kneeling for the national anthem.

UPDATE

"I will state that I suffer Type 1 Diabetes and during the game, my sugar was spiking," Rowan said in a statement.

UPDATE

"While not excusing my remarks, it is not unusual when my sugar spikes that I become disoriented and often say things that are not appropriate as well as hurtful."

UPDATE

Rowan adds, "I do not believe that I would have made such horrible statements absent my sugar spiking."

UPDATE

TMZ Sports spoke with Rowan who added, "I'm absolutely speechless for my rhetoric. I want to offer my deepest apologies to these girls because I hurt them."

UPDATE

"[The N-word] should never be thought much less muttered."

UPDATE

Rowan says he does not "want to hide behind diabetes" -- adding, "I want to take ownership of my actions. Never my intention to hurt anyone. I am sickened by what I said. I am so sorry for what I said."

UPDATE

10:25 AM PT -- The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association -- which contracted the announcers for the game -- announced Thursday night's broadcast crew has been pulled from the remainder of the tournament while it investigates the incident.

This is disgusting.

A high school basketball announcer in Oklahoma called players "f***ing n*****s" for kneeling during the national anthem before a game this week ... and it was all caught on a hot mic.

It all went down before the Norman HS girls hoops team faced off against Midwest City during the Oklahoma 6A state basketball tournament Thursday night.

Every player from Norman elected to kneel for the duration of the anthem ... which led to the announcer's outburst on the National Federation of State High School Association Network's official live stream. Here's what we heard in the clip ...

"They're kneeling? F***ing n*****s. I hope Norman gets their ass kicked. F*** them. I  hope they lose. They're gonna kneel like that?"

The clip has since made rounds on social media .. with NFL stars like Kenny Stills -- who also kneels for the anthem -- and Gerald McCoy speaking out against the blatant racism.

"Amerikkka," Stills tweeted Friday morning ... while McCoy added, "See why we do it!?! They still think it’s about the flag."

Players from the Norman girls hoops team also spoke out against the announcer's comments ... saying, "This is why we kneel."

Norman superintendent Dr. Nick Migliorino ripped the "racist and hateful" comments in a scathing statement ... saying, "We condemn and will not tolerate the disgusting words and attitudes of these announcers."

"This type of hate speech has no place in our society and we are outraged that it would be directed at any human being, and particularly at our students."

He added ... "We fully support our students’ right to freedom of expression and our immediate focus is to support these girls and their coaches and families, particularly our Black students and coaching staff."

"It is tragic that the hard work and skill of this team is being overshadowed by the vile, malignant words of these individuals. We will do everything in our power to support and uplift our team and everyone affected by this incident."

Migliorino says Norman will use a different live streaming service for the remainder of the tournament ... "as we have full confidence in their proven ability to respectfully support our student athletes."

The NFHS Network also released a statement Friday morning ... saying it is "aggressively investigating" the incident and will cut ties with any individuals responsible.

"The NFHS Network firmly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination, and there is no room for this in high school sports or anywhere," the network said.

"We sincerely apologize to the students, their families and the entire community for having such ignorant comments expressed during the broadcast."

Fox News Host Greg Gutfeld 'I Gotta Pee' Song ... Funny Hot Mic Moment

BATHROOM BLOOPER

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld really had to use the bathroom, so he broke out in song about his need to relieve ... his bladder, and he did it live on the air.

Ya gotta see the hilarious moment ... Greg's on camera during "The Five," and his mic is hot as he starts singing about having to pee. It seems he doesn't realize they're back from commercial, and although his colleagues try to alert him ... oops!!!

Turns out, he had reason to sing ... after the fact he tweeted confirmation of what went down as soon as he got off-camera.

Greg is known for a segment about litter boxes, and his co-hosts cracked a few jokes about him needing one himself.

Funny stuff all around ... try not to laugh so hard you pee yourself.

North Dakota State QB Trey Lance Drops 50 Yard DIME At NFL Pro Day ... Check Out This Cannon!!!

Published

NFL prospect Trey Lance has a ROCKET for an arm -- and he put it on full display at his NFL pro day Friday ... where he threw a PERFECT 50-yard laser right on target.

Check out the video ... it's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Yeah, we know ... no live NFL defense trying to take his head off -- but still, the arm strength and accuracy look GOOOOOOOD.

The 20-year-old QB out of North Dakota State is trying to show NFL teams why he should be a surefire 1st round draft pick ... and he's got a solid resume to make his case.

In 2019, Lance completed 67% of his passes, threw 28 touchdowns with ZERO interceptions, while rushing for 1,110 yards ... leading his team to an undefeated record and FCS national championship.

You may not have heard much about him in 2020 ... 'cause the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out all of NDSU's season.

30 of the 32 NFL teams sent reps to Lance's pro day on Friday -- and the dude didn't disappoint.

You can audibly hear the "ooohs" and "ahhhs" that came out after that 50-yard DIME -- easily his most impressive throw of the workout.

But, the rest of the session was solid, too -- Lance threw dart after dart while reps for teams like the Jets, Falcons, Panthers, Lions and the Washington Football Team watched from the sidelines.

So, where will he end up? We'll likely find out when the 1st round of the NFL Draft kicks off on April 29th.

DANGEROUS DRIVING

The woman who is about to be arrested for coughing on and attacking an Uber driver has proven to be just as dangerous when she's in the driver's seat.

Arna Kimiai has once again incriminated herself, this time with a video she shot last June behind the wheel of a McLaren sports car ... hitting speeds topping 122 MPH. Kimiai is more focused on posing for the camera than safe driving -- blasting music, losing her ponytail and claiming, "This sh** is getting too colossal."

Speaking of colossal ... Kimiai became infamous this week after a video of her and one other friend assaulting and coughing on an Uber driver went viral ... telling him they had COVID-19, and that got the attention of San Francisco cops.

One of the passengers from the video, Malaysia King, in red, was arrested Thursday for assault with a caustic chemical, assault and battery, conspiracy and for violating health and safety code.

The San Francisco Police Department says Malaysia King is in custody ... she's reportedly the woman wearing red in the viral video showing the riders coughing, and snatching the driver's phone and mask.

Seth Rogen Weed Company Site's Blazin' Again ... After Crashing Due to HIGH Demand

Published
UPDATE

3:13 PM PT -- Good news, stoners -- Seth has fixed the site! Houseplant is back up and running, but he's warning customers there's still a waiting room to deal with the high traffic ... but they are free to peruse the goods while they wait.

Seth Rogen's weed company is having some big issues on launch day, but it's a good problem to have ... his products are so popular its website crashed.

The "Pineapple Express" star debuted his Houseplant website Thursday for purchases, but it only took a few hours before high demand proved too much for Seth's site to handle.

The website went down around 10 AM PT, with Seth joking he's trying to learn how to write code to get it up and running again. He says the "insane traffic" overwhelmed the servers.

GETTIN' IN THE GAME

Seems there were problems right out of the gate, because even around 9 AM Seth was troubleshooting with customers who couldn't even get into the website's waiting room.

Stoners in Los Angeles can still get Seth's cannabis strains delivered by a third-party service, but anyone going to the Houseplant website is SOL when it comes to buying home goods ... like the $85 ashtray or the $220 table lighter.

Seth's preaching patience ... so feel free to light one up and wait this thing out.

The Georgetown Black Law Students Association says the professor is Sandra Sellers ... and the organization says she should be fired for "blatant and shameless racism."

The BLSA also says Sellers was talking about a Black student when she said their answers were "a bit jumbled." The org says David Batson is the other professor in the video seen nodding in agreement.

GU says it's investigating and law school dean Bill Treanor says the video is "abhorrent" and "reprehensible."

Emmanuel Acho Harrison's 'Taking Accountability' ... I'm Still Not Sure 'Bachelor' Return is Right

Published | Updated

Chris Harrison's 'Bachelor' host replacement, Emmanuel Acho, isn't down with Chris being canceled, but he's not fully endorsing his return to the show either.

Acho has a super interesting take on the controversy involving Harrison -- which as we've reported, began when Chris tried defending Rachael Kirkconnell to Rachel Lindsay for attending an Antebellum South party in 2018.

Emmanuel told Stephen Colbert on Wednesday's 'Late Show' that Harrison is taking accountability for his actions, and suggests he's doing everything right to make amends ... but he stopped short of saying Chris should get his job back.

Instead, Acho says there needs to more consideration about whether this would be the best move -- not just for Harrison ... but for the producers, the cast, and the 'Bachelor' franchise as a whole.

Of course, Emmanuel's in a unique position here too -- he's filling in for Chris for the "After the Final Rose" special next week ... after "The Bachelor" finale, in which Matt James will potentially choose a bride, and Kirkconnell is one of the finalists.

As we reported ... both Harrison and Kirkconnell have issued lengthy apologies linked to the racism controversy surrounding this season, and vowed to do better.

X League Star Tamika Robinson Truck Sticks Teammate In Violent Drill ... Caught On Video

Published

X League star running back Tamika Robinson taught her teammate a very valuable lesson this week -- GET LOW OR GET RAN OVER!!!

The best part -- the lesson was all caught on video at Chicago Blitz mini-camp!!!

Check out the footage from one of the reps of the violent Oklahoma-style drill ... Robinson read her block, met her teammate in the hole, and then lowered a shoulder that would make Earl Campbell proud!!

Don't worry, her teammate appeared to be fine ... but watch her coach's celebration of the hit afterward!!

Sidney Lewis, the guy in charge of leading the Blitz in the X League's inaugural season this year, was so pumped, he tripped, but casually somersaulted his way out of the fall!

FYI -- the X League, which has tapped Mike Ditka to be its chairman, begins on June 12 ... and it's promising to be one of the best women's tackle football leagues in the U.S.

And, if it features consistent hits like Robinson's this week -- better getcha popcorn ready for opening night!!

'Jew in the City' Protest Educate, Don't Cancel Meyers Leonard ... And Rep Orthodoxy Better on TV Too!!!

Published | Updated

Meyers Leonard is getting an olive branch from at least some in the Jewish community -- a group called "Jew in the City" wants to work with the Heat player, instead of canceling him.

We got "Jew in the City" founder Allison Josephs in NYC Wednesday during a protest in front of NBC, which we'll get to in a moment -- but right off the bat, we asked her about Leonard's anti-Semitic slur incident.

031021-jew-in-the-city-founder-kal
Ya Got a lot to Learn ...

Allison's actually pretty merciful, saying the guy should get a second chance, as long as he's willing to learn what the epithet he used really means to Jews ... and to learn more about Jewish people, in general.

She suggests Meyers actually meet with some Jewish folks. As we reported, Patriots star Julian Edelman's already reached out to him, and Allison believes that's the right approach in these situations.

Speaking of educating the masses ... the group was demonstrating at 30 Rock as part of its campaign to correct inaccurate depictions of Orthodox Jews on NBC shows like "Nurses" and 'Law & Order: SVU.'

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

You might've heard about the "Nurses" fiasco recently -- which forced NBC to yank the episode in question entirely after it was accused of rehashing anti-Semitic tropes. Welp, Allison says that's nothing new, and points to a Season 9 SVU episode that's just as cringeworthy.

Allison's demanding an end to what her org sees as clear-cut media bias against Jewish people.

Soccer Journalist Carlos Orduz Crushed By Falling Wall On TV Set ... Insane Video

Published

A soccer journalist was smashed by a falling wall on the set of a live TV show Tuesday ... but somehow, the guy miraculously escaped without injury.

The analyst's name is Carlos Orduz ... and just seconds into his appearance on ESPN FC Radio -- he was blindsided by a piece of the set that clearly hadn't been secured properly.

In video of the incident, you can see the wall fell on Orduz with so much pace ... his face lurched straight into his desk.

His colleagues, who were trying to move on with the show professionally, expressed immediate concern -- and the network cut straight to commercial to check in on Orduz.

Fortunately, the sports reporter says nothing major happened to him as a result of the accident ... in a video update, he explained, "I want to tell you that I'm fine."

THANKS FOR THE CONCERN

"They've already checked me, absolutely nothing happened apart from the scare."

Orduz added after further medical checkups Tuesday night, he suffered no fractures and nothing more than bumps and bruises.

"I must tell you that I am fine," Orduz wrote on Twitter. "Thank God."

Amen!
