Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour is off to a rocky start ... not only at the box office, but onstage too -- 'cause a couple errors by crew members seemed to have the pop star fuming.

The singer-songwriter performed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles this week ... and, while marching down the stage during one of her shows, she looked to the ground to find her mark.

The Queen Bey appears shocked and turns around, searching for the "X" to mark her spot ... but, she can't seem to find it -- and, basically guesstimates where she needs to be.

A top primatologist is trying to bring some reason into the hundred men vs one gorilla debate ... explaining the main reason why a fight like this wouldn't go down -- and arguing this paints these beautiful creatures in a bad light.

We spoke with Michael Stern -- a Harvard-trained primatologist with decades of experience studying gorillas both in captivity and in the wild in Uganda -- and, he tells us the main reason this debate is so silly is because one gorilla would look around, see it was outnumbered and take off.

Stern says this is the equivalent of asking if a unicorn could take down a dinosaur -- or if a shark with a laser beam could blow up a submarine!

An OnlyFans star says she's not backing down from billboard vandals ... 'cause she plans on keeping her ad promoting her account up, even though it's been vandalized three times.

We spoke with Chloe Amour -- a porn star with a new billboard in L.A. -- and, she tells us she can't catch a break when it comes to incidents of her image being slashed.

Amour tells us Regency Outdoor -- the billboard company that keeps putting up Chloe's ad -- told her they suspect religious protesters might be behind the vandalization ... which she says means it ain't about her as much as what she does for a living.

The Pennsylvania woman cops say admitted to pooping on someone else's car as part of a road rage incident apparently had a lot to say about the matter ... police say she bragged about a clean poop that didn't need toilet paper.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the alleged 'Delco Pooper' Christina Solometo told police, "It was a clean poop, I didn't even have to wipe".

Cops say Solometo was arrested Thursday ... and we obtained her smiling mug shot.

Unfortunately for the zebra, a portable toilet came out of nowhere and decked the guy.

Rick Ross says he has the blueprint for getting 100 humans to beat up a single gorilla — it’s all in guerrilla warfare recruiting!!!

Pastor T.D. Jakes is stepping back from his duties in his megachurch ... announcing his successors months after a medical incident onstage ended with him on the operating table.

The pastor -- who served as the head of The Potter's House church since he founded it back in 1996 -- told the church Sunday that he would be handing over his duties to Sarah Jakes Roberts and Toure Roberts, his daughter and her husband.

Jakes released a long statement about his departure ... citing the need to address major economic issues of the time as part of the impetus for his decision -- claiming he wants to focus on "serving as a bridge between community, culture, and corporate alliances to help position our nation for a stronger future."

Lele Pons just wanted to find out the gender of her child ... and, nearly had to make an emergency room visit, too -- 'cause she fell pretty hard during the reveal.

The social media star and her singer-songwriter husband, Guaynaa, had their gender-reveal party Friday ... and, they decided to announce their baby's gender with a whole bunch of slippery slime.

Basically, they got a bunch of their family and friends to break up into two groups ... one underneath a "Boy" sign and another under a "Girl" sign -- with a fake dynamite trigger in the middle.

Britney Spears seems ready to embrace her inner speed demon ... jumping on the back of a motorcycle in a scorching red gown -- though she's not quite up for a spin around the block just yet.

The Princess of Pop shared a couple videos to her IG Saturday -- not her usual dancing clips, but instead a couple clips of her on the back of a hog ... and, we don't mean a pig at the county fair.

Spears -- wearing a strapless red dress with sleeves pulled all the way down to her biceps -- sat atop the cycle ... first yelling out "Hi baby, here we go, ya ready???" a wide grin plastered on her face.

Trojan condoms might stop sperm in its tracks ... but, Trojan students have got some pretty strong swimmers, it seems -- 'cause a USC student won the first-ever sperm race.

The much-anticipated battle for L.A. spunk supremacy went down in DTLA Friday night ... with Tristan from USC taking on Asher from UCLA -- and, we caught the whole darn thing on film, with the event showing just how fast their little swimmers were motoring in real time.

Check it out, the race starts off pretty even -- Tristan and Asher's boys making their way through the channel with ease ... until one of Tristan's swimmers turns into the Usain Bolt of you know what, coming from behind to tear into the lead.

A man in China has been watching way too many cartoons ... 'cause he took the short exit out of what looks like an argument -- throwing himself through a window in a wild clip.

The incident went down in the Yuhua District of Changsha City, Hunan Province early this month ... with cameras capturing a man and woman who look like they're having a heated discussion.

There's no audio, so we can't tell exactly what they're saying ... but, clearly this dude thinks better of continuing their tête-à-tête and hurls himself into the window.

Shannon Sharpe's media career is hanging in the balance in the wake of his explosive sexual assault lawsuit -- a totally avoidable scenario, had he taken Mo'Nique's advice!!!

The blunt comedienne was on Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast back in Feb. 2024, when she warned him about dating young girls and urged him to get an "ol' fat gal" who cooked him soul food and catered to his needs.

Fast-forward to the present day, and Sharpe is battling a $50 million lawsuit filed by a 20-year-old OnlyFans star.

A Florida man ended up behind bars last weekend after he was busted for allegedly roughing up an 11-year-old girl who he thought pelted his home with eggs.

The crazy incident occurred Saturday afternoon at a Tampa, FL, apartment complex and was partly captured on dramatic video recorded by a witness.

Check it out ... the suspect, Marius Mutu, is seen pinning the girl to the ground outside the building as she screams and cries for help. The girl swears to god she didn't do anything wrong, but her words fall on deaf ears. Mutu won't let her go.

Trisha Paytas is confused AF -- she says she has no clue why folks think her unborn kid is the reincarnated Pope Francis, who just died Monday.

FYI, folks thought her first kid, Malibu, was Queen Elizabeth reincarnated since she popped out the day the Queen died in 2022 -- and now that wild theory’s back, the pregnant star's shutting it down on her "Just Trish" podcast, saying her womb isn’t some VIP pass for historic figures.

Trisha was totally baffled -- pointing out the Pope isn’t part of the British monarchy like the Queen was. But, she was informed that, apparently, it’s not just royals -- fans think any major figure who dies while she’s pregnant could be lining up for a comeback through her womb.
