Diners at a Torrance, California Benihana got more than chicken fried rice Monday night -- they watched some live-action butt-kicking between 2 of the restaurant's employees!

You can see some of the altercation in the video ... utensils clang and dishes go flying as the workers get into it -- causing some frantic bystanders to flee their seats while the situation escalates.

Plates continue to be smashed as someone lets out a yell ... and eventually a security guard is seen with his arms wrapped around a highly agitated man who is escorted out.

We want you to be a part of TMZ, so every weekday, between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM PT, we take you inside our newsroom via live stream.

You never know what you're gonna get ... a big story that breaks, an argument erupts in the room, or someone's just joking around.

Your comments are a big part of the stream, and the staff spends a lot of time speaking directly to you. Every day is different!

A circus performer was rushed to the hospital during a stunt gone wrong in Brazil over the weekend.

You can see in the scary pics ... acrobat Aliane Dias was in the middle of a routine, featuring her suspended in the air by her hair, when she went into a sudden freefall Saturday.

Tommy Norman, the North Little Rock police officer who turned his beat into a viral brand and racked up over 1 million Instagram followers, is back home following his weekend arrest ... and his wife is breaking her silence as the couple weathers the fallout.

Norman, a 27-year veteran of the North Little Rock Police Department and a popular community figure, was released from jail after a judge set his bond at just $350 cash on Monday morning. He'd been taken into custody on Saturday, charged with third-degree domestic battery after what cops described as an alleged "domestic violence incident."

Now, his wife Rosalynd is speaking out in a statement, admitting the family has faced "both loving memories and difficult times," but insisted their love remains strong. "We are leaning on God for strength and guidance," she wrote, while asking for "grace, prayers, and privacy" as they move forward.

Ken Rosenthal is revisiting his viral mishap from over the weekend ... saying he "felt awful" after knocking a photog to the ground in an attempt to dodge a postgame Gatorade celebration -- and apologizing for the whole ordeal.

Rosenthal addressed the matter on his "Fair Territory" podcast ... claiming the video making rounds after the Milwaukee Brewers celebrated a walk-off win against the St. Louis Cardinals wasn't as bad as it looked -- but his focus was on making sure he did his job.

"I must admit, though, when I looked at the video, I was surprised at how upset I appeared," Rosenthal said. "I was more confused than anything. Now I had to continue the interview. We were live folks, on national television, couldn't stop!"

Taylor Swift attended Travis Kelce's game today ... but, from FOX's broadcast and social media you'd hardly know it -- 'cause it looks like she snuck into the stadium!

While the singer-songwriter usually makes a splash when she shows up to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs, it seems no one got a good glimpse of her Sunday ... 'cause video of the star striding down the tunnel on her way to her suite didn't surface online.

Plus, the TV broadcast seemingly didn't show her at all ... so, a few outlets previously reported she didn't pull up to take in the action this time.

Sydney Sweeney is proving once again she’s Hollywood’s hottest “it” girl as she serves up sizzling swimsuit looks during a lake getaway.

The actress shared snapshots on Instagram Sunday that left fans doing a double take. In one jaw-dropping set, the blonde bombshell rocked a plunging black one piece while balancing on rocks before hurling herself off a cliff and later waterskiing.

But the sexy display didn’t stop there. Sweeney slipped into a cheeky white bikini while out for a scenic stroll with towering rock formations.

Tommy Norman, the North Little Rock police officer who turned his beat into a viral brand and racked up over 1 million Instagram followers, has been arrested on domestic violence charges.

The department confirmed Sunday that Norman was booked on one count of domestic battery in the third degree after officers responded to a late-night call Saturday.

According to the arrest report, cops spoke with Norman's wife, who appeared visibly upset and told officers he struck her on the chest with the back of his hand during an argument. Officers saw what appeared to be a slight injury. Norman reportedly claimed he was only blocking her hand after she slapped at him.

11:10 AM PT -- A Don Kaeo, Thailand municipality employee has died after a road collapsed onto him while he and his colleagues were installing a new pipe, Matichon reports.

The incident occurred on Wednesday.

A Thai road worker was buried alive when the street he was working on collapsed on top of him, leaving him trapped under feet of dirt and debris.

Check out the scary video -- the man's colleagues notice the edge of the hole they dug in Chiang Mai beginning to break ... but their warnings didn't come fast enough. The man becomes trapped as he tries to scramble away, and his coworkers jump into action to save him.

They immediately utilize the excavator to quickly remove the dirt -- heavier from the rain -- and dig in with shovels and their hands once they become closer to rescuing the man, who appears to have been knocked unconscious.

Office Depot has fired an employee for refusing to print memorial posters featuring Charlie Kirk they labeled as "propaganda."

The situation went down Friday evening at an Office Depot location in Portage, Michigan ... and footage shared by attorney and Republican activist Matthew DePerno shows an employee identifying herself as a manager confirming the order would not be completed because, "it's propaganda."

DePerno claimed the Kalamazoo County Republican Party ordered the poster at 2:24 PM Friday and received a call from the store about 3 hours later notifying them the poster would not be printed because it was "propaganda."

David Dobrik is explaining why he's getting back to uploading videos on YouTube ... and he says it's all about getting creative again.

We got the social media star Wednesday at IT'SUGAR at Universal CityWalk Hollywood and our photog asked him the reasoning for his YouTube return.

David's back to uploading vlogs after a three-year break ... but he says he's only going to post videos every other week ... telling us how the landscape's changed in the years since he was uploading multiple videos every week.

We want to address something that happened during our TMZ Livestream coverage of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As Harvey and Charles were reporting the developments in our newsroom, there were employees in another part of the building watching a car chase.

The people watching that car chase began laughing and clapping in reaction to what they were seeing, but we want to make it clear ... they were not cheering in response to the assassination.

Nevertheless ... watching a car chase at that moment was tone deaf, and the sounds of laughter at that crucial moment were totally out of line.

President Trump just got heckled at a restaurant near the White House ... and the demonstrators are comparing POTUS to Adolf Hitler.

Ya gotta see this video from a fancy restaurant where Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are dining ... protesters are waving Palestinian flags and chanting.

The protesters are repeating, "Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time."

Lil Tay is speaking out against Sophie Rain who is claiming that Tay fibbed about the amount of money she has made on OnlyFans ... saying it's all just projection and if Sophie doesn't accept her $60mil offer to box out the beef, Bhad Bhabie is up next on the block.

We spoke with Lil Tay about why she thinks Sophie Rain is disputing her financial success and is refusing to fight her, and she seems to think Sophie is just upset her title of OnlyFans queen has been revoked.

Check the clip ... Tay tells us if the boxing match does ever come into fruition, she will knock Sophie out first punch ... so Sophie can say "whatever the f*ck she wants to say" because Tay is ready and waiting for her to step into the ring.

Marlon Wayans has a very personal reason why his and brother Shawn's box office blockbuster "White Chicks" will NEVER get a follow-up ... and that's because getting a full face-beat takes too freakin' long!!!

Kai Cenat had Marlon on his Mafiathon 3 stream and brought up "White Chicks 2," taking Marlon down horror memory lane, spending 7 hours in the make-up chair all to turn into a bad bish.

Marlon explained that the 7-hour makeup job was in addition to the 14 hours of the daily production and the 1 hour it took to remove the costumes.

Sink your teeth into this -- a dentist went full savage on a woman over her new ill-fitting braces ... and yup, cameras caught every bite of the drama!

Dr. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Chinh charged out of her Ho Chi Minh City clinic in Vietnam like a horror-movie villain earlier this month, brandishing a weightlifting barbell at a patient demanding a refund for a "botched" procedure.

It was pure chaos ... the doc threateningly aimed the gym equipment at Tien’s face, yanked her off the sofa, then chucked her iPhone on the floor and a mug at her face.
