Two women were swept off their feet by a pair of Good Samaritans after a flood in Brazil did the same to them ... with bystanders dashing through the raging waters to pull them.

In the clip, you can see the two women sliding and tumbling down the block, along with a motor scooter ... unable to hold on to anything to brace themselves against the storm's onslaught.

Savannah Guthrie and her family say they will pay the ransom for the return of their mother, Nancy.

The NBC anchor and her family released a video Saturday afternoon in which they directly address the people allegedly holding their mother captive ... saying they received their message, and they will pay the demanded dollar figure.

Nancy was last seen when a family member dropped her off at her Tucson home on Saturday, January 31. We and several other news outlets received an alleged ransom note earlier this week which contained two deadlines.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. certainly has some interesting hobbies ... including dinosaur bone hunting -- which he allegedly did with Jeffrey Epstein back in the day.

Among the numerous documents released by the Department of Justice related to the notorious pedophile recently were emails sent between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ... in which he said he went dinosaur and fossile hunting with renowned paleontologist Jack Horner on a ranch.

Maxwell then asked Epstein, "Didn't we go fossil hunting with him and Bobby Kennedy in N Dakota?" to which he replied yes.

Addison Rae's new hair color is certainly putting the "pop" in "pop star" ... with her style catching eyes all over social media.

The singer-songwriter shared a sizzling pic of her new look to Instagram Saturday morning ... throwing a sultry glance over her shoulder while wearing a tight black leather dress, which revealed a pink garter wrapped around her left thigh.

She added a little more color to the outfit with her hair now boasting bright red coloring spread throughout it ... making a fiery statement in the pic.

Sometimes you just gotta dance! A woman suspected of DUI two-stepped her way right into police custody Wednesday night after taking cops on a wild and dangerous chase through Los Angeles.

Watch the video ... the harrowing chase starts with completely reckless driving, featuring death-defying moves, the driver blowing through red lights and pulling U-turns in traffic to evade the cops hot on her tail, before boxing herself in inside a crowded parking lot.

Would she try to plow through the cars in her way? Would she make a break for it on foot? The answer was neither. In pure Bugs Bunny fashion, the woman gets out of her car and does a little boogie!

Savannah Guthrie says she's aware there's an alleged ransom note demanding payment for the return of her kidnapped mother, Nancy Guthrie ... and she says she's ready to talk on one condition.

In an emotional video posted on her social media Wednesday, the 'TODAY' anchor says before there can be any movement on meeting the alleged ransom's demands, she's pleading to know Nancy is alive ... and she says the rise of A.I. makes it harder to confirm if any photos, audio or videos of Nancy are legit.

TMZ was sent an alleged ransom note Tuesday and forwarded it to law enforcement. The note demanded millions of dollars in Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy, and it gave a tight deadline with an element of "or else" while also describing some things about her and her home.

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- is the keynote speaker at a crisis PR conference in D.C. ... where tickets are going for $875.

Jarrell Miller went viral after an uppercut knocked the toupee off his head in the middle of his boxing match at Madison Square Garden, but the incident might not be the worst thing ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports his DMs have been flooded with companies hoping to work with him!

Babcock chopped it up with Miller after his win over Kingsley Ibeh Saturday night at the World's Most Famous Arena and -- of course -- asked about what happened with his hair.

"I felt a cold breeze in my scalp, and I said I know I ain't got no AC up there," Miller said.

A Japanese volleyball player is going viral for his epic reaction to accidentally hitting someone with a serve ... and it'll have you demanding better the next time someone has to say sorry to you.

The moment of remorse unfolded during an All-Star event in Kobe, Japan. The man at the center of it, Yuji Nishida, was taking part in a serving challenge when his hit went awry -- striking a worker in the back.

Nishida immediately sprinted toward the woman and slid on his stomach underneath the net and profusely apologized for the unintentional contact.

Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller delivered one of the wildest moments boxing fans have seen in a while Saturday night ... and it had nothing to do with a knockout.

Miller earned a split decision win over Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden, but the fight went viral in Round 2 when Ibeh landed a right uppercut that sent Miller's toupee flying off his head.

The crowd was stunned as the hairpiece popped loose and, instead of trying to hide it, Miller owned the moment. Before round 3 even began, Big Baby ripped off the toupee himself and threw it into the stands, where it was grabbed by heavyweight champ Fabio Wardley.

A Louisiana school counselor’s death by suicide this week after a warrant for his arrest for inappropriately messaging a minor was issued isn't justice ... so says the victim's brother who wants more accountability.

Tyler Washington spoke to TMZ about the situation ... telling us the death of Quinton Dixon from Baton Rouge doesn't substitute for justice because his 14-year-old sister still has to carry the weight of the situation on her shoulders forever.

While he declined to say if his family will be pressing charges ... he absolutely thinks Westdale Middle Magnet School needs to be held accountable for giving a sicko access to so many minors.

Twitch streamer and rapper Aspen Kartier was arrested and charged with animal cruelty after a video of her seemingly roughing up an innocent pup on the platform went viral.

The 19-year-old streamer -- whose real name is Aspen Easterling -- was cuffed and booked into the DeKalb County Jail Friday night after authorities received numerous complaints over the alleged abuse in the circulating video ... the Brookhaven Police Department tells TMZ.

Brookhaven police officers gathered enough evidence against Aspen to secure a search warrant for her residence as well as an arrest warrant, and she was taken in around 9:30 PM.
