Texas GOP Convention attendees got an unexpected live demonstration of why you should always know where the nearest exit is ... 'cause an elephant being led through the event suddenly stopped and unleashed a massive stream of pee near a crowd ... and it's all on video.

The wet and wild moment was caught on camera Friday ... footage shows the elephant casually making its way through the convention floor before nature called and it answered in a big way.

Reporters and conventiongoers nearby appeared stunned as the animal turned part of the venue into an impromptu splash zone. Fortunately, it doesn't appear anyone was hit ... though a few people may have gotten more excitement than they bargained for.

Emily Blunt and Colman Domingo may have some of Hollywood's best chemistry ... so much so, they've apparently got no problem joking about sexting each other.

The hilarious moment went down on "Watch What Happens Live" when Andy Cohen asked the "Disclosure Day" stars whether famous people should avoid sexting.

Emily seemed ready to play it safe ... but Colman wasn't having it.

Without missing a beat, Colman declared he'd absolutely still sext ... before jokingly calling out Emily and insisting she'd already sent him a few spicy messages herself.

Taylor Swift found herself a pretty high-profile cameraman ... because Steven Spielberg was literally directing her from the sidelines during a hilarious moment at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ... and it's all on video.

The singer was at NYC's Marriott Marquis Hotel with fiancé Travis Kelce, vibing to John Fogerty and his sons performing "Fortunate Son" when she started striking poses for her phone ... before handing it to the Oscar-winning director sitting right beside her.

The legendary director didn't disappoint. Instead of a quick point-and-shoot, Steven had Taylor fully sell the scene ... leaning in, hamming it up and serving main-character energy while he filmed from his chair.

Kai Trump is in the clear after she was accused of editing out boos for a social post from an NBA Finals game where her grandfather, President Trump, got lit up with jeers during the national anthem.

It turns out ... the company that produced the video Kai shared actually edited out the boos and replaced them with cheers ... at least according to Page Six.

So Kai didn't do it ... someone else did.

Kai was blasted by haters online after they assumed she made the sound edit ... painting the embarrassing moment in a way better light than reality.

Naturally, there were plenty of the classic 'Simpsons' Boo-urns memes shared in response.

Ariana Grande is blasting the White House and Donald Trump for using her music in a montage of ICE arrests ... calling Trump's immigration policies as barbaric, inhumane and heinous.

The pop star commented on TikTok post from the official White House account that used her song "bye" ... making it clear she doesn't condone their message or the use of her music.

The clip Ariana's incensed over was posted Tuesday and is a compilation of videos showing ICE agents arresting and cuffing people.

Ariana ends her response with a "f*** ice."

The Mercedes F1 team is responding after fans got their engines revving over Kim Kardashian stealing driver Kimi Antonelli's towel at the Monaco Grand Prix ... and their reaction is hilarious.

Kimi's race team posted a skit online ... Kimi's confused about where his towel went and his teammate, George Russell, admits he hasn't seen it, either.

The light-hearted clip ends with Kimi washing his hands and having no towel to dry them ... and again being perplexed about where it went.

Kimi, George and Mercedes are playing dumb ... there's viral video showing Kim snatching Kimi's white towel after a recent race ... using it to pat her forehead.

The "Stranger Things" star appears on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie" podcast Thursday ... and in a preview, she claps back at folks who are peeved about her doing the heavy lifting, asking ... "When did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats and stuff?"

Millie goes on ... "This stems from me holding all of my suitcases and bags and my kid and people are like, 'Your husband doesn't hold a single thing.' Because I'm three miles ahead. I have been planning this all night."

The New York Knicks pulled off the largest comeback win in NBA Finals history ... so fans took to the streets to celebrate ... and it got WILD!!!

Knicks fans have reason to let it all out ... their team was down 29 points before roaring back to win Game 4 Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden to move within one victory of the franchise's first NBA championship since 1973.

Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner shared a moment Wednesday night after the Knicks' comeback victory against the Spurs ... the two celebs embraced in a huge hug!

And the embrace was captured on video as Knicks fans stormed the court after Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, where Taylor is getting married to Travis Kelce on July 3.

Check out the clip ... Taylor is standing behind Kylie, who suddenly turns around and sees the pop star. Kylie smiles brightly as Taylor gives a little wave before they go in for the hug.  The pair chat briefly and then part ways.

Nancy Mace just got her butt kicked in a bid to become South Carolina's next governor ... but she's got a sense of humor about the political stomping.

The Congresswoman posted a photo of a big bowl of baked beans on social media ... saying she would drown her sorrows in legumes and not ice cream.

For those who don't know ... the outspoken politician dogged by scandals went viral back in 2024 with a picture of her BBQ birthday dinner ... which included a giant helping of baked beans.

Of course, social media had a field day ... with one person writing the now timeless, "That's a lot of beans, you nasty ass bitch." And another classic said the bathroom was all hers.

If the hilarious knocks hurt Mace's feelings back then, she's clearly gotten over it ... and leaning into the joke here is pretty unexpected.

Benson Boone is taking a page out of Alix Earle’s going-viral playbook ... and maybe even one of her dresses ... because he has recreated one of her most-viewed TikToks! 

Check out the video ... Benson can be seen running around in a skimpy black lace dress, dramatically lip-syncing to his upcoming song "The Time of My Life."

The singer is showing off his sculpted arms and classic mustache in the process. But sadly, no back flips were in this performance.

Jennifer Lawrence can officially add amateur detective to her résumé ... 'cause Andy Cohen says she helped crack the case of the leaked "Summer House" reunion audio.

While appearing on "Watch What Happens Live," Andy gave the Oscar winner a shout-out for going full internet sleuth and helping track down the source of the leak that had Bravo scrambling.

As it turns out, the audio was ultimately traced back to a member of the production staff ... bringing an end to the mystery that had fans buzzing for weeks.

Draymond Green is adding a Community Note to his own social media clapback ... claiming when he told a woman he'd "crush" her "dirty ass kids," he was still in Kevin Hart roast mode.

The Golden State Warriors star issued the wild comment after a basketball fan called him a "bitch" on X last month ... replying, "Watch your mouth before I crush those dirty ass kids in your banner."

Some folks were baffled by Green's words ... especially because the word "crush" can be interpreted as a threat.
