A University of Arizona defensive assistant is going to wake up with a splitting headache Sunday ... 'cause he headbutted a player wearing a helmet out of excitement -- and cut his forehead wide-open.

Chuck Cecil -- a senior defensive assistant with the Wildcats -- was hyping up one of his guys pregame ... grabbing cornerback Owen Goss' helmet and slamming his head hard into the player's.

Goss was wearing a helmet ... but Cecil wasn't -- and, after smashing his head into the player's three times, he was clearly bleeding.

Martha Stewart's not blowing off anyone trying to reach her via social media ... she says she just doesn't know how to look at her DMs!

The lifestyle guru stopped by TalkShopLive -- a video commerce platform that lets people buy and sell products using platforms like Instagram Live -- to promote her 100th published book.

While the host explained that people could apply to have direct messages with offers sent to their accounts, MS revealed she doesn't know how to check her own DMs.

OnlyFans model Sophie Rain clearly has someone to be thankful for -- her subscribers ... because she's claiming she made an insane amount of money on the platform this year.

Sophie shared a look at her earnings on Thanksgiving -- tweeting a cropped screengrab of what she made from last Turkey Day all the way to Thursday.

It's pretty zoomed in, so fans aren't able to see the specifics, but the big $43.47 million gross earning is front and center -- showin' everyone the impressive amount of moolah that's supposedly made it to her bank account.

Jiare Schneider -- a TikTok star who went missing earlier this month -- is dead ... this according to local reports citing police.

The social media star's body was reportedly found earlier this week in Georgia ... about a week and a half after he initially went missing.

Officers say they received a phone call from friends and family of Jiare on Tuesday morning, after which they did a sweep of the area and came across his remains, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

A woman in Australia got the shock of her life when her garage door opened and she was nearly attacked by a massive python, new surveillance video shows.

But then ... the gigantic snake drops down while attached to the ceiling inside the garage.

Explosive footage out of Brazil shows the terrifying moment a burning, out-of-control bus crashes into an electrical pole ... sparking a fiery blast, and sending people running for cover.

The scary situation unfolded Monday on the streets of Sao Paulo, and the video picks up with the bus already engulfed in flames, and rolling down the street.

7:04 AM PT -- The Sixers apparently caved to the trolling ... 'cause the post was just scrubbed from the team's X account.

The Philadelphia 76ers got a lesson in Graphic Design 101 on Sunday ... when the team used a throwback font to share the final score of the game on social media -- but it ended up being the butt of countless jokes.

The Sixers' X account -- which utilized retro theming to match the squad's classic jerseys worn for the matchup with the L.A. Clippers -- posted the end results of the contest.

Instead of focusing on the 125-99 defeat, many noticed the word "final" in the graphic looked a lot like "anal" ... and naturally, plenty of users pointed it out.

Simone Biles did backflips while watching her husband's football game Sunday ... not literally, but she was pretty dang excited when he made a dynamic play.

The gold medal gymnast was in Chicago Sunday to watch Jonathan Owens' Chicago Bears take on the Minnesota Vikings ... and, in a particularly important moment, her man came up with a big stop short of the goal line.

Owens comes up and rips the ball out of running back Aaron Jones' hands ... running off toward the sideline with his prize.

IShowSpeed recently proved he's no ordinary streamer -- dude is seriously fast -- but, if he wants a real test on the track, USA Track star Christian Coleman says he stands ready to dust the internet sensation.

"As long as it's in good spirit, we're prompting the sport and it's a healthy respect," Coleman told TMZ Sports, adding ... "I'd be down, just for the entertainment factor," before noting he doesn't really have anything to gain.

Of course, the question comes on the heels of Speed and 100m Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles -- a sometimes rival, sometimes teammate of Coleman's -- recently running the 50 meters (not an officially-recognized distance) ... a race NL won (though CC has some thoughts) on the legitimacy of the heat.

"Wicked" premiered on Broadway more than 20 years ago ... but, it seems the team behind the film still found a way to shock diehard fans -- 'cause people are posting vids of their friends losing their minds.

The biggest movie of the year opened in wide release in the U.S. Thursday night ... and TikTok is already populating with fan reactions to the movie that's leaving them awestruck.

No spoiler alert here BTW ... 'cause it's unclear exactly which scenes are making people react this way -- though the movie is supposed to be a faithful adaptation of the musical, so if you know the show, you might not be as shocked as these viewers.

If you were the cop confronted by this man, what would you do?

New police bodycam footage shows a cop in California shooting a suspect who had just stabbed him with a knife outside a police station ... and the fatal interaction is intense.

One flight had to handle some serious turbulence -- courtesy of a fitness influencer launching into an extreme "bodypump" workout, much to the horror of the other passengers, one of whom recorded the scene.

Barbara de Regil, a former Mexican soap star turned fitness queen with over 9M IG followers, decided to unwind on a long-haul flight by turning the aisle into her personal gym.

Most people usually stick to light stretching or a casual stroll up and down the aisle, but Barbara clearly has zero social anxiety, crowding other passengers' already-cramped personal space to get in her exercise.

Killer mom Susan Smith will not taste freedom after her plea to a parole board was unanimously denied following an emotional hearing.

The controversial convict, who has spent nearly 30 years behind bars for the drowning of her sons, Michael and Alex, appeared before a parole board in South Carolina via a video call Wednesday ... tearfully begging those hearing her case to let her go free. Michael was 3 years old and Alex was 14 months old when Smith killed them.

As Smith relayed in her testimony ... she now knows what she did "was so horrible" and claims she'd "give anything to go back and change it."

Colin Farrell’s "The Penguin" transformation was so epic and convincing that a clip of him speaking in his native Irish accent while fully in character has left viewers speechless.

Take a listen for yourself… the actor was giving a speech after wrapping filming in a clip --now deleted by HBO -- to the crew off-camera, but his smooth Irish accent totally clashes with the villainous, Gotham-dwelling look he was rocking for the show, and the New York growl he uses in character.

The accent switch was so intense, it almost overshadowed Colin’s heartfelt message ...  "I have loved every minute of it even when I wasn't loving it. And, I just feel so grateful and humbled and blessed by being part of this collective."
