Looks like the Israeli Air Force is down a Black Hawk helicopter ... because one of their choppers fell from the sky and crashed while being airlifted ... and it's all on video.

Footage shows another, larger helicopter towing an IAF UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter through the air when the harnesses appear to suddenly fail ... sending the Black Hawk into a nosedive before it crashes to the ground.

Sophie Rain is all washed up ... on the beach! Sophie took to her Instagram to give us a glimpse of a recent sandy night swim ... gotta wonder if James Fishback has peeped this post yet 👀

In case you missed it, Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback wants to tax Sophie and other Only Fans models 50% of their income in the Sunshine State! But this has clearly not stopped Sophie from showing off the curves that have made her a multimillionaire.

Slide into the gallery above to see hot shots so good, they demand to be taxed.

Also, check out our image puzzle below, featuring Sophie!

A delivery robot went up against a high-speed passenger train and got knocked the f*** out!!!

Check out the crazy video posted Thursday night on social media ... as you can see, the electronic contraption on wheels was rolling down a street when it stopped on train tracks in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Dade County, Florida.

Unfortunately, the robot froze on the tracks while the huge passenger train was zooming toward it. An eyewitness gave a play-by-play as he captured the whole ordeal with his cell phone camera.

Kristy Scott filing for divorce from her husband Desmond Scott doesn’t seem to be bothering him one bit -- 'cause just days later, he was spotted getting hot and heavy with another woman ... and TMZ’s got the proof!

Catch the late-night Sunday clip -- Desmond looked very comfortable at Houston bar Sante, with a woman parked on his lap as the two went full make-out mode like a pair of teenagers.

It’s pretty raunchy -- behavior better suited for behind closed doors -- but these two were fully locked in, completely ignoring the room as they put their intimate display on full public view.

Kai Cenat's certainly enjoying R&R after stepping away from streaming ... but, he's not just sitting around and wasting his time off -- telling us he's loving his foray into fashion.

We caught up with the star at LAX Thursday ... and we asked him about his recent decision to step away from Twitch to work on his stitch -- which he says is going well enough that he's already made a few pieces.

KC says he's sewn a couple hoodies, and he's looking to graduate to denim next ... but, he admits he's still a beginner -- so don't expect a Kai catalogue in the immediate future.

Hailey and Justin Bieber are continuing to beef with TikToker Julie Theis ... slapping her with a cease-and-desist letter that claims she fabricated her story about their celebrity marriage.

TMZ obtained a copy of the letter written by the Biebers' attorney Evan Spiegel ... who writes that Theis posted "outrageous false, fabricated, and defamatory" statements online about the couple's marriage.

Spiegel also writes Theis uploaded TikTok and Instagram videos of herself claiming that Justin and Hailey's marriage was a great example of an abusive relationship stemming from drug addiction, and calls the allegations "highly damaging."

UConn basketball has entered its paranormal era -- and head coach Dan Hurley is loving every unhinged second.

Reports surfaced before the Huskies’ game on Tuesday that a fan who runs a popular X account hired an Etsy witch to remove the team’s curse at Seton Hall’s Prudential Center, where UConn had lost four straight games since 2021.

And it seemingly worked as No. 3 UConn sweated out a 69-64 victory against the 14-win Pirates, the 25th-ranked team in the nation.

Sometimes it's just nice for someone to acknowledge your existence ... and a Chinese company is cashing in on that feeling with a new app called "Are You Dead?"

Apparently, there are so many lonely singles in the world's second-most populous country, there's a huge untapped market for regular check-ins.

The way it works is simple ... users set up emergency contacts, and every couple of days the app sends a green button with a cute little ghost on it. Users have to click it to confirm they're alive. If they miss 2 consecutive taps, the app notifies their emergency contacts to check on them ... all for a little over $1.

JoJo Siwa's officially a bride -- in the A.I.-verse, at least -- because she posted an artificially- created pic of herself on her wedding day!

The pop star shared a photo on Snapchat Tuesday ... a selfie where she's staring dreamily into the camera while wearing a white wedding dress -- with a veil pulled back framing her golden hair.

The pic has "Call me a wife!!!" written along the bottom of it ... but hold on, Siwa fans -- because it's a pretty premature post.

The San Francisco drunk woman who starred in an infamous viral bar fight video is catching a break in her legal case, TMZ has learned.

San Francisco authorities tell us Shireen Afkari is off the hook after her arrest for misdemeanor public intoxication at Hazie's saloon in December 2025.

As the world witnessed in the viral video, Afkari drunkenly squabbled with staff at the watering hole, ultimately getting tossed out with her boyfriend and tripped by a bartender on the sidewalk before she was arrested by responding officers.

Robert Rueca, an SFPD spokesperson, tells TMZ ... the department does NOT refer public intoxication cases to the district attorney for possible prosecution, adding that no other charges will be filed against Afkari. As for any fines, Rueca said his understanding is that Afkari will face no further penalties.

Meghan Trainor is doubling down on distancing herself even further from Ashley Tisdale's "toxic mom group" allegations ... Meghan says she's not involved in any way, shape, or form.

The singer took to TikTok for a second denial of claims she's one of the moms Ashley was referencing in her essay in The Cut.

Meghan hopped on the TikTok trend and posted a video saying, "me trying to convince everyone I'm not involved in the mom group drama."

Michael McKee, the Illinois surgeon charged with murdering his ex-wife and her husband inside their Ohio home, agreed to be shipped back to Ohio to face murder charges ... but he says he's innocent.

McKee appeared in court Monday after his Saturday arrest in Illinois and waived extradition back to Ohio, where he is accused of gunning down Spencer and Monique Tepe in the early hours of Dec. 30 with the couple's two young children in the home.

Check out this footage from inside an Illinois court room ... McKee is shackled and wearing a mustard prison jumpsuit. The only time he speaks is when he states his full name.
