Pope Leo XIV remembers the good old days of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen on his hometown Chicago Bulls ... and, he's clearly got some skills with the rock ... or at least some great teachers.

The head of the Catholic Church welcomed the Harlem Globetrotters to St. Peters' Square Wednesday ... and they showed him how to spin a basketball on his finger.

Check it out -- one of the athletes starts spinning the ball while he gets the pope's finger into position ... then passes it off to him ... sorta.

Craig Melvin wouldn’t last a second under Miranda Priestly -- not after accidentally spilling a major "The Devil Wears Prada 2" cast secret on live TV ... and you just know Jenna Bush Hager had words waiting off-camera!

The "TODAY" host casually revealed Wednesday Jenna is gonna be in the new movie ... and when the camera cut to her, you could see the instant shock all over her face.

Jenna shut it down fast, saying that info was not supposed to be out ... with Savannah Guthrie piling it on that it definitely wasn't public knowledge.

The house always wins ... except against this pickup truck!

Local outlet KVVU-TV reports the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to an accident this afternoon after a pickup truck crashed into a casino downtown.

Check out the video ... you can see the vehicle perched on a pile of rubble just inside the Main Street Station Casino Brewery Hotel front doors as cops investigate the scene.

This ain’t a drill -- we’ve got a seriously hot firefighter on our hands, and the internet is already going up in flames over him!

The Laguna Beach Fire Department in Orange County, CA dropped a few pics of Billy Senecal while naming him their 2025 Firefighter of the Year -- pretty standard -- until everyone got a look at him ... and suddenly it wasn't about the award anymore.

A young woman in Mexico had a heart-stopping brush with disaster ... dramatically caught by a man on the ground below after she slipped off a malfunctioning carnival ride.

The whole thing played out on camera at an Easter fair in Ometepec, where "The Hammer" suddenly started jerking big time, causing the woman to slip out of the capsule she was in ... before one man sprinted in and caught her just before she hit the ground.

The incident was provoking pure panic last week -- the ride was still moving, people screaming ... and she somehow managed to walk away alive, shaken and clearly distressed.

A Detroit bakery had the Internet doing a double-take after dropping what might be the most unhinged Easter dessert of all time ... a lamb cake that looked straight out of a horror movie.

Homestead Kitchen Artisan Cakery went viral after posting an April Fools' Day "special" ... an A.I.-generated lamb cake with bulging eyes, crooked teeth and droopy frosting that had people seriously concerned.

The bakery told customers to "order your lamb cake for Easter," listing flavors like chocolate and lemon, but the visual had folks thinking more "haunted house" than holiday dessert.

President Donald Trump isn't sending warm and fuzzy vibes this Easter weekend ... he's dropping F-bombs and threatening Iran with "Hell."

Fresh off a dramatic U.S. military rescue of a downed airman inside Iran, Trump fired off a Truth Social post Sunday, issuing a blunt warning over the Strait of Hormuz crisis.

"Open the F***ing Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell -- JUST WATCH!" he wrote.

Jon Jones was caught on camera in a heated road altercation in New Mexico over the weekend.

In the footage, Jones is seen stepping out of his vehicle in Albuquerque and confronting another driver after an apparent close call on the road. The tense exchange shows both men going back and forth in the middle of the street.

The other driver, identified as Bryan Beltran, claims Jones nearly hit him multiple times before things escalated. You can hear him in the video saying ... "You almost f***ing hit me, bro," while Jones tries to keep things from boiling over.

Viral Internet singer Harry Daniels is all for Clavicular getting with his friend, Woah Vicky ... and gives us his NSFW explanation for how the duo could make it work!

We ran into Harry at Sunset Tower this week ... and he tells TMZ it was definitely "interesting to see" Clavicular hit it off with Vicky over a week ago when he showed up to Clav's pad to sing for him ... and brought Vicky as a surprise.

Sparks flew so much, Vicky and Clav went on to participate in a live stream speed date ... and we're told they kept flirting after cameras stopped rolling, plus planned on seeing each other again.

A completely naked man got into a street fight outside a Kanye West concert ... and it's all on video.

TMZ obtained footage showing a guy throwing hands in his birthday suit Wednesday night at an intersection outside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, where Kanye was performing inside.

The guy was letting it all hang out as he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on another man ... as people watched, and a man in a yellow vest even tried to intervene.

The Texas judge going viral for being super rude to an IT worker looks like he was deep in the red last year ... he reportedly filed for bankruptcy and listed over $75K in debt, TMZ has confirmed.

Judge Nathan J. Milliron -- who sits on the bench of the Texas 215th District Court -- filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in May 2025 in Texas ... according to KPRC 2 in Houston.

Chapter 13 means Milliron is planning to pay back his creditors, and just wants to set up a payment plan with the court.

Backstreet's back ... perhaps in a beef with NSYNC thanks to Brian Littrell taking a hilarious jab at the rival boy band in police body cam footage, obtained by TMZ.

Watch the video ... the police question Littrell about an altercation the Backstreet Boy had with a guy he accused of assaulting him on his property. After Brian says the other guy was going after him "because I'm a celebrity" ... one of the cops says she recognizes BL and breaks out into "Bye Bye Bye."

Nice try officer, but of course, that's the wrong band ... and Brian didn't hesitate to let her know that!
