Taylor Swift is having trouble lately finding her footing ... 'cause she just nearly took a spill onstage at her Tokyo concert.

Taylor hit the stage for performance #2 at the Tokyo Dome as part of the new leg of her international "Eras" tour through Asia, Australia and Europe. Video has now surfaced on Instagram showing the pop star suffering another snafu like she did the previous night.

Check out the footage ... Taylor was walking down a flight of stairs when she tripped and almost tumbled down to the floor. But, thankfully, Taylor caught herself and kept moving down the stairs. Nice recovery!

It doesn't look like Taylor was injured ... but we'll keep you posted.

Taylor was performing onstage Wednesday at the same venue as she plunked down on a chair, missing her mark on the seat cover and having to adjust her rump for the save. Of course, Taylor carried on as if nothing happened and finished the show.

Yet, her back-to-back mishaps might be attributed to all the drama surrounding Sunday's Super Bowl extravaganza in Las Vegas.

Taylor's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, will be front and center playing alongside his team against the San Francisco 49ers.

Will Taylor rip herself away from her busy concert schedule to make a cameo at the big game to cheer on Travis?

Wil Wheaton says Larry David "attacking" Elmo on TV last week might've been funny to some -- but it was no laughing matter to him ... 'cause it triggered old, ugly memories.

The 'Star Trek' actor had a strong reaction to the 'Curb' star putting his hands on the "Sesame Street" puppet on the 'Today' show -- taking to Facebook to write a lengthy essay that slammed LD ... while in the same breath explaining why it rocked him to his core.

He writes, "What the f*** is wrong with that guy? Elmo is, like, the best friend to multiple generations of children. In the Sesame Street universe, ELMO IS A CHILD, who is currently putting mental health and caring for others in the spotlight."

WW adds ... "And Larry F***ing David ... did ... that? And thought it was going to be ... funny? What? What an ass****. What a stupid, self-centered, tone deaf ass****."

Wil goes on to say that his dad used to abuse him as a kid -- shaking him by the shoulders and screaming in his face, among other things, and he says seeing Larry do that to Elmo had his heart racing as it dredged up internal trauma in his mind. He's quite serious, too.

He finishes by saying what Elmo means to so many kids -- especially in that segment, where he promoted mental health awareness -- makes Larry's attack all that much more sickening.

Wil ends with ... "A man who would belittle and mock that isn't much of a man at all. Shame on you, Larry David." This tirade of his, BTW, ended up being some 900 words on FB.

FWIW, Larry did "apologize" to Elmo shortly after his outburst ... and clearly thought it was all in good fun. Apparently not, though, from Wil's POV -- dude is straight-up outraged and hurt.

There's a new establishment in New Hampshire that gives adults the chance to be a literal baby -- but one prominent advocate in this community says they're going about it all wrong.

The small town of Atkinson, NH -- home to roughly 7,000 people -- has recently welcomed a business called the Diaper Spa ... which operates exactly how it sounds. It's a place where adults with this sort of need for baby-like experiences can let it all hang out, unjudged.

They have a ton of services for sale at this place ... including virtual play dates that go for $200/hour and an all-day "Diaper B&B" experience that provides baby pampering for $1,500.

As you might imagine ... this diaper spa in Atkinson has rubbed a lot of folks in town the wrong way -- and some are even expressing straight-up outrage and concern over the fact this place even exists, not to mention what they say is too close proximity to parks/schools.

Funny enough ... a major player in the ABDL (adult baby/diaper lovers) scene says these small-town people's indignation might actually be justified, 'cause she thinks there wasn't a lot of thought put into the specifics ... namely, location and cost -- which she's scoffing at.

We're talking about Riley Kilo -- who's a known ABDL proponent, and who supports this movement when done correctly. In this case, however, she thinks the Diaper Spa owners screwed the pooch a bit in execution of their vision, even if their heart is in the right place.

According to Riley, there's a few things that she believes are misguided when it comes to Diaper Spa -- including where it actually is. Fact is, she tells us this sorta business should've been set up in a more metropolitan area with more diversity/acceptance for this sorta stuff.

She says it's no surprise residents in a small, rural town are reacting the way they are -- and believes the owners should've been more mindful. RK also slams their price range for their services -- calling them "fetish prices," and way too expensive -- and even thinks what they charge lends to the notion this is all just a bunch of kinky sex stuff ... which she says is off too.

Hay un nuevo establecimiento en New Hampshire que le da a los adultos la oportunidad de ser un bebé literalmente, pero un destacado defensor de esta comunidad dice que están haciendo las cosas mal.

La pequeña ciudad de Atkinson, de unos 7.000 habitantes, ha acogido recientemente un negocio llamado Diaper Spa, que funciona exactamente como suena. Es un lugar donde los adultos con este tipo de necesidad de experiencias similares a los bebés pueden dar rienda suelta a sus instintos sin ser juzgados.

Tienen una tonelada de servicios a la venta en este lugar, incluyendo citas de juego virtuales que van por los $200 la hora y una experiencia de todo el día "Pañal B & B" que proporciona mimos bebé por $1.500.

Como se puede imaginar, este spa de pañales en Atkinson ha sido muy polémico y algunos incluso están expresando franca indignación y preocupación por el hecho de que este lugar exista, por no hablar de que está demasiado cerca de los parques.

Curiosamente, un cliente importante del ABDL (bebé adulto/amantes del pañal) dice que estas personas indignadas en realidad podrían tener sus motivos, porque piensa que no hay atención puesta en los detalles, tales como la ubicación y el costo.

Estamos hablando de Riley Kilo, que es una conocida defensora del ABDL y que apoya este movimiento cuando se hace correctamente. En este caso, sin embargo, cree que los propietarios de Diaper Spa metieron la pata un poco en la ejecución de su visión, incluso si su corazón está en el lugar correcto.

Según Riley, hay algunas cosas que ella cree que están equivocados cuando se trata de pañal Spa - incluyendo donde realmente es. En realidad, nos dice que este tipo de negocio debería haberse establecido en un área más metropolitana con más diversidad/aceptación para este tipo de cosas.

Dice que no es de extrañar que los habitantes de una pequeña ciudad rural reaccionen así, y cree que los propietarios deberían haber tenido más cuidado. Tambien critica los precios de sus servicios, llamándolos "precios fetichistas" y demasiado caros, e incluso piensa que lo que cobran se presta a la noción de que todo esto es solo un montón de cosas sexuales pervertidas... lo que ella dice que también está fuera de lugar.

Taylor Swift hit a speedbump during her Wednesday concert in Japan, but she made a quick recovery and carried on as if nothing happened.

The pop star hit the stage at the Tokyo Dome, performing one of her risqué tunes, "Vigilante S—t," while wearing a sexy blue leotard and black knee-high boots.

With her legs spread, Taylor plunked down on a chair, missing her mark on the seat cover and having to adjust her rump for the save.

Check out this video ... Taylor was flanked by her dancers during the mishap, but she didn't seem bothered, and she moved on without looking back.

Some of her fans noticed and commented about it on the social media app, X. One joked doing her squats must have saved Taylor from falling. Another said she didn't need a chair because her rock-hard thighs would keep her elevated while in a crouched position.

As you know, Taylor has resumed the international leg of her "Eras" tour, which will take the 14-time Grammy Award winner through Asia, Australia and Europe.

But Taylor will likely make a pit stop in Vegas this weekend to cheer on her beefy bf, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.

Of course, Travis and his fellow Chiefs will be doing battle with the San Francisco 49ers to see which team will emerge as the 58th Super Bowl champ.

Taylor Swift sufrió un accidente durante su concierto del miércoles en Japón, pero se recuperó rápidamente y continuó como si nada hubiera pasado.

La estrella del pop subió al escenario del Tokyo Dome el miércoles por la noche, interpretando uno de sus temas más subidos de tono, "Vigilante S-t", mientras llevaba un leotardo azul y botas negras hasta la rodilla.

Con las piernas abiertas, Taylor se dejó caer en una silla, pero perdió levemente el equilibrio y su marca en el asiento, lo que la llevó a ajustar un poco su silla.

Echa un vistazo a este video, Taylor estaba flanqueada por sus bailarinas durante el percance, pero no parecía molesta y siguió adelante sin mirar atrás.

Algunos de sus fans se dieron cuenta y comentaron el incidente en X. Uno bromeó diciendo que sus sentadillas la salvaron de caerse. Otro dijo que no necesitaba una silla porque sus muslos duros como rocas la mantendrían en equilibrio mientras hacía el paso de baile.

Como saben, Taylor ha reanudado el tramo internacional de su gira "Eras", que llevará a la ganadora de 14 premios Grammy por Asia, Australia y Europa.

Pero probablemente, la estrella del pop hará una parada en Las Vegas este fin de semana para animar a su novio, el ala cerrada de los Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce.

Por supuesto, Travis y sus compañeros de los Chiefs estarán luchando contra los San Francisco 49ers para ver qué equipo se convertirá en el 58º campeón de la Super Bowl.

Beyoncé reina sobre su Beyhive, pero una nueva figura de cera tiene a las redes pensando en Queens, Nueva York, en lugar de la sensación del pop internacional.

Esto es la cuestión: Madame Tussauds Blackpool, en el Reino Unido, inauguró una estatua de un par de cantautoras el miércoles: Beyoncé y Lady Gaga. Mientra la recreación de Gaga recibió pocas reacciones, la de Beyoncé tiene a los fans mirando dos veces.

El consenso general es que la estatua de tamaño natural de Bey se parece menos a la 32 veces ganadora del Grammy y más a la actriz Leah Remini.

Echa un vistazo, la estatua lleva un clásico traje de Bey, también capturaron su pelo bastante bien, pero la cara parece compartir algunos rasgos con Leah, y la gente en las redes sociales quedó confundida al darse cuenta de que no era una imitación de Leah.

Para su información, cosas como estas suceden con frecuencia con Madame Tussauds, como por ejemplo, la estatua de Dwayne Johnson que fue comparada con la figura de Vin Diesel o el caso de Lil Wayne, quien criticó su propio parecido con la recreación.

Básicamente, parece muy difícil trabajar con cera y aún más difícil apaciguar a las hordas de fans, así que a veces una reina termina pareciéndose a la esposa de "The King of Queens".

11:11 AM PT -- Leah Remini took to X to weigh in on the viral comparison saying, "I am screaming! And loving all the tweets! This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé!"

Beyoncé reigns over her Beyhive ... but a new wax figure has social media thinking of Queens, New York, instead of the international pop sensation.

Here's the deal ... Madame Tussauds Blackpool, over in the UK, unveiled a statue of a pair of singer-songwriters Wednesday -- Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. While Gaga's recreation received little in the way of reaction, Beyoncé's had fans doing a double-take.

The general consensus ... Bey's life-size statue looks less like the 32-time Grammy winner and more like actress Leah Remini.

Check it out ... the statue's wearing a classic Bey outfit, and they captured her hair pretty well, but the face does seem to share some striking features with Leah -- and folks on social media were confused once they realized it's not supposed to be LR.

FWIW ... stuff like this happens semi-frequently with Madame Tussauds -- like Dwayne Johnson's statue racking up Vin Diesel comparisons or Lil Wayne blasting his own likeness.

Basically, it seems hella difficult to work with wax and even tougher to appease hordes of fans .... so, sometimes a Queen ends up looking like "The King of Queens" wife!

No word on whether Bey's seen the statue ... or if a Jay-Z/Kevin James wax mashup is on its way!

An Ohio truck driver is lucky to be alive after his 18-wheeler got crushed by a speeding railroad train as he dashed away in a nick of time!

The dramatic, near-death collision involving the large train and big rig was captured on video Wednesday morning in the small village of Versailles, OH.

Check it out ... the driver of the semi-truck pulled up to the tracks, stopping in the path of the oncoming train. Simultaneously, the electronic safety barrier was lowering with its arm hitting the top of the truck in a jerky motion.

The driver suddenly realized the truck cabin was about to get hit by the train screaming toward him at a high rate of speed.

Quickly, he tried to put the truck in reverse to get out of harm's way, but it was too late.

So, he jumped out of the cabin, pausing for a moment next to the truck before turning and running for his life.

Moments later, the train barreled into the cab, completely demolishing the front end of the truck. As the train made impact, you can hear two men filming the incident react in horror, blurting out, "Oh no! Oh no!"

Miraculously, no one was seriously injured. The Village of Versailles Ohio Emergency Medical Service issued a statement, explaining that "all occupants of the semi and train were accounted for and uninjured." Paramedics evaluated two people at the scene and released them without further medical assistance.

¡Un conductor de camiones en Ohio tiene suerte de estar vivo después de que su vehículo de 18 ruedas fuera aplastado por un tren de ferrocarril que iba a toda velocidad mientras él se apresuraba a escapar en el último momento!

La dramática colisión, que casi provoca la muerte del hombre, fue capturada en video el miércoles por la mañana en el pequeño pueblo de Versalles, en Ohio.

Echa un vistazo, el conductor del camión se acerca a las vías y se detiene en el camino mientras el tren se aproxima. Simultáneamente, la barrera de seguridad electrónica baja y golpea la parte superior del camión con un movimiento brusco.

El conductor se dio cuenta de repente que la cabina del camión estaba a punto de ser atropellada por el tren que se dirigía hacia él a gran velocidad.

Rápidamente, intentó poner el camión marcha atrás para salir del peligro, pero ya era demasiado tarde.

Entonces, saltó de la cabina, se detuvo un momento junto al camión antes de darse la vuelta y correr para salvar su vida.

Instantes después, el tren se estrelló contra la cabina, destrozando por completo la parte delantera del camión. En el momento del impacto, se escuchó a dos hombres que filmaban el incidente, reaccionar horrorizados y exclamar: "¡Oh, no!.

Milagrosamente, nadie resultó herido de gravedad. El Servicio de Emergencias Médicas del pueblo de Versailles, Ohio, emitió un comunicado, explicando que "todos los ocupantes del semi y del tren fueron contabilizados y no resultaron heridos." Los paramédicos evaluaron a dos personas en la escena y las liberaron sin más asistencia médica.

5:42 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained the mugshot for the Sphere climber ... who happens to have a smile on his face.

12:21 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Sphere Entertainment tells TMZ ... "We are grateful to the local authorities for their support in this matter. The individuals involved are currently in the custody of LVMPD."

The Sphere in Las Vegas got an unexpected visitor Wednesday ... an activist-climber scaled the towering 367-foot-tall structure.

Video of the individual walking around the top of The Strip's newest concert venue started to crop up online shortly after he began ... and the climber -- Maison Des Champs -- also posted to Instagram confirming he was the one who'd made the daring climb.

Maison explained in the short clip that he was doing the climb to raise money for a homeless woman and her unborn child ... asking his 273k followers to donate to the cause while standing on the sphere.

Reporters spoke with Tim Clement, outreach director for Survivors of The Abortion Holocaust ... who said he was told Des Champs was detained after coming off the top of The Sphere.

BTW ... this is sorta Maison's whole gimmick. He climbed the Chase Tower in Phoenix during Super Bowl week last year to protest abortion and pulled off a similar stunt the year before in San Francisco.

Police have reportedly shut down the streets in the area to traffic and have seemingly detained members of Des Champs' activist group as well.

U2's supposed to perform in The Sphere tonight ... unclear if today's stunt will delay or postpone the show.

La Esfera de Las Vegas tuvo un visitante inesperado el miércoles. Se trató de un activista y escalador que trepó por la imponente estructura de 367 pies de altura.

El video del individuo caminando por arriba del lugar de conciertos comenzó a circular en línea poco después de que comenzara, y el escalador, llamado Maison Des Champs, también lo posteó en Instagram confirmando que era quien había hecho la audaz escalada.

Maison explicó en el breve clip que estaba haciendo la escalada para recaudar dinero para una mujer sin hogar y su hijo que está por nacer, pidiendo a sus 273k seguidores que donaran a la causa mientras estaba de pie en la esfera.

Los reporteros hablaron con Tim Clement, director de divulgación de Survivors of The Abortion Holocaust, quien le dijo que Des Champs fue detenido luego de llegar a la cima de La Esfera.

Por cierto, este suele ser el truco de Maison. Se subió a la Chase Tower en Phoenix durante la semana del Super Bowl el año pasado para protestar contra el aborto e hizo algo parecido el año anterior en San Francisco.

Según los informes, la policía ha cerrado el tráfico de las calles de la zona y al parecer han detenido a miembros del grupo activista de Des Champs también.

Imagina que estás esquiando en una de las pistas más serenas y hermosas de Estados Unidos y segundos más tarde estás siendo literalmente perseguido por un enorme alce, ¡tan cerca de ti que casi podría pisarte la parte trasera de las botas!

Eso es exactamente lo que le pasó a un esquiador llamado Kenny Rynearson en Jackson Hole, Wyoming, recientemente, y el salvaje encuentro quedó grabado en video.

Este muestra a un alce en plena carrera montaña abajo, mientras Kenny hace todo lo posible por esquivar a la bestia (puede que se oyeran algunos gritos de "oh s***").

Finalmente, Rynearson logró cierta distancia del animal y pudo ayudar a un compañero de esquí, a quien gritó: "¡Más rápido!", mientras el alce seguía acercándose.

Afortunadamente, parece que nadie resultó herido, pero esto podría haber terminado de manera muy fea.

Los alces son enormes y pueden llegar a medir casi 2 metros (a cuatro patas) y pesar 1.600 kilos. El animal en cuestión no parece tan grande, pero sería terrible si te atrapara.

Y además pueden moverse... ¡Corren hasta 35 MPH en distancias cortas! Como referencia, Usain Bolt, en su máxima velocidad, iba a casi 28 MPH. Por suerte, Kenny llevaba esquís y no zapatillas de correr.

Imagine skiing one of the most serene and gorgeous slopes in America ... and seconds later YOU'RE LITERALLY BEING CHASED BY A MASSIVE MOOSE, so close it could nearly nip the back of your boots!

That's exactly what happened to a skier named Kenny Rynearson in Jackson Hole, Wyoming recently ... and the wild encounter was captured on video.

The clip shows a moose in a full sprint down the mountain ... as Kenny did his best to evade the big beast (there may have been a few "oh s***" screams).

Rynearson eventually created some distance before assisting a fellow skier, yelling, "go faster!" as the animal continued to give chase.

Thankfully, it doesn't appear anyone was injured ... but this could've potentially been ugly.

Moose are huge ... they can grow to nearly 7 feet tall (standing on all fours), and weigh 1,600 pounds. The animal in question doesn't appear that big ... but it'd be a bad day if it caught you.

And, they can move, too ... running up to 35 MPH for short distances. For reference, Usain Bolt, at his fastest, went almost 28 MPH. Thankfully Kenny had skis on, and not running shoes.

Ex-NBA star Stephen Jackson just unloaded on Austin Rivers ... calling him "trash" and a "scrub" for comments he made about Bronny James.

Rivers recently gave his take on LeBron's dream of playing alongside his son in the NBA ... revealing he hopes it doesn't happen, as it could do more harm than good for a young hooper still developing his skills on the court.

Rivers compared the situation to playing for his father, Doc, during his time with the L.A. Clippers ... and claimed Bron and Bronny suiting up together might welcome a ton of criticism directed at the current USC star.

Stak took major issue with Rivers' comments ... teeing off on him in the comment section of an Instagram post this week.

"And your daddy not LeBron," Jackson said. "Shut up."

"Difference is you trash, Bronny not. You can’t compare to him, scrub."

Some folks are upset with the 2003 NBA champion's response ... considering Rivers was a former top recruit and earned a ton of accolades at Duke before going No. 10 overall in the 2012 Draft.

Bronny is still early in his college career ... averaging nearly 6 points and 3 rebounds a game in 14 appearances after suffering cardiac arrest during a workout in July 2023.
