You Might Want to Rethink

A "Wheel of Fortune" contestant named Kevin went down in game show history Tuesday night by flubbing a puzzle with just one blatantly OBVIOUS letter to go.

Hilarious brain fart, Kev. Get your mind out of the gutter, and one more thing:

Tom Brady's Super Bowl 49 jersey was being shopped around to a small group of wealthy collectors who were under the impression it was NOT stolen property ... and the asking price was $75k.

TMZ Sports spoke with multiple people directly connected to the situation. One potential buyer was interested in the jersey but says the seller (who was connected to Mauricio Ortega) "fell down a black hole" and it disappeared from the market about 8 months ago.

We're told Ortega has been selling various sports collectibles for years and would tell clients he obtained the items legally through relationships he built with players, coaches and staffers. He would use the selfies he took with stars like Tom Brady, Bob Kraft and Ben Roethlisberger as a way of unofficially authenticating the goods.

We know what you're thinking ... why would anyone buy a high-priced item without proper documentation?

One high-end collector put it this way ...

Ortega is credible and has had documented locker room access for more than a decade. There would be no reason to suspect he stole anything since no media outlet ever reported it was.

Plus, buyers could do home research -- looking at high resolution pics from the Super Bowl -- and self-authenticate the items based on nicks, scratches and other identifying marks on the gear.

A man faced off with at least 4 cops outside of Catch Saturday night ... and lost hard when they fired their tasers.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops were called to the famous WeHo restaurant to deal with a man with a possible gun. Things escalated quickly when the suspect didn't follow orders ... so they fired.

It's pretty gnarly -- you can hear the guy screaming out "What did I do?!" before he's taken down. Even crazier ... he's got a dog right next to him that's in the mix of the scuffle.

Nelly has mad respect for the late Chuck Berry ... but the dude can't name a single song!

We got the St. Louis rapper leaving Bootsy Bellows Saturday night -- who shares the same hometown as Chuck -- and he eulogized the rock 'n' roll legend pretty poetically ... until our camera guy asks him to name his favorite Chuck Berry song.

You gotta see Nelly's reaction. But let's be honest ... stuff like this has happened to all of us.

Melania Trump already has a line of fine foods and wines for sale in her homeland of Slovenia, but the problem is ... she never signed off on the deal.

Slovenia's Sevnica Castle -- yup, a real-life castle -- is now hawking fancy products that are clearly trying to profit off Melania, because the brand is called First Lady.

Some of the goods they're selling include salamis, chocolates, beauty creams and, of course, vino ... the latter of which sells for around $30 a bottle. The first 300 sold out in 3 days.

Melania isn't officially tied to the First Lady campaign, and has reportedly hired Slovenian lawyers to stop the exploitation of her title -- but the castle's steward told Decanter he wasn't ashamed to offer it because the products were "good" and "the best."

Sounds like a very Trump-ish sales pitch.

Snoop Dogg's music vid depicting a President Trump assassination has caught the attention of the Secret Service.

A spokesperson for the president's protective team tells us they were made aware of the video Monday. We're told Secret Service honchos are aware of Snoop's vid, but it's unclear if there will be any further investigation into whether the rapper poses a real threat.

It's a similar situation to Madonna saying she's thought about blowing up the White House. We're told the Secret Service was aware of that incident as well.

Ultimately, nothing happened to her ... but we'll see if the "Lavender" video's controversial imagery passes muster too.

Right after Nick Viall's 'Bachelor' season wrapped, Rachel Lindsay's 'Bachelorette' season began -- and one of her suitors is already getting racial.

Rachel -- the first black Bachelorette or Bachelor -- met her contestants after Monday's finale, and a white guy named Dean decided he wanted to let her know he's down with interracial dating, but watch ... he wasn't nearly that smooth about it.

Indianapolis Colts lineman David Parry vowed to "come after" the cops who arrested him for allegedly drunkenly stealing a golf cart ... and the threats were all captured on video.

TMZ Sports obtained footage of Parry back at the police station in Scottsdale, AZ -- which begins with the 300-pounder lying on the floor of his jail cell.

He spars with the woman trying to get his information. He threatens other cops in the station. He's a complete and total jerk.

As we previously reported, Parry was a belligerent mess when cops initially confronted him -- slurring to cops, "Who did I have auto theft with?"

He also calls a female officer a "bitch" ... spews homphobic slurs ... and calls one officer a "fat f**k."

Despite the videos, Parry pled not guilty to felony robbery, felony unlawful use of transportation and misdemeanor threats.

He's due back in court next month.

Justin Bieber was grossed out by a female fan getting all up in his space for a pic, and he let her know it ... straight up.

Justin was in Melbourne, Australia Saturday, where a young girl tried snapping a selfie of herself next to the pop star as he grubbed on some finger food. He lectures her on respect ... and then burns her with a harsh line.

Good luck if you're a Taylor Swift fan trying to get a glimpse of her now ... her security is on high alert after getting a restraining order against an obsessed fan who was skulking around her building.

The fan pictured may not have known ... security in Taylor's Tribeca apartment building is at the ready after a crazed fan got inside the building and even on the roof on multiple occasions.

Drake can finally close the book on the $3 million tour bus heist that had him fuming -- the perp's been sentenced to county jail for a year.

The Maricopa County D.A. tells us Travion King will also be on 5 years supervised probation after his time in lockup. You'll recall Drake went BALLISTIC after finding out a briefcase full of jewelry was lifted from his tour bus during a September stop in Phoenix.

Travion was later busted for breaking into a woman's dorm room at Arizona State, and that's when cops found the briefcase.

Drizzy MIGHT be calming down now. Maybe.

AWESOME video here of Will Smith finally scratching something off his bucket list -- bungee jumping Victoria Falls!!!

The action star fulfilled a lifelong dream to leap from the bridge at Victoria Falls -- considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World -- on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe ... and, naturally, the whole thing was recorded.

Shia LaBeouf keeps getting trolled by Trump fans ... even when he tries keeping the protest covert.

Shia -- whose "He Will Not Divide Us" stream in Albuquerque, NM was taken down after shots were fired a block away from the protest -- moved his demonstration to a mystery location.

Problem is ... Trump fans thwarted Shia's plan after somehow pinpointing the location -- we still don't know where -- and replaced the flag with a Trump shirt and hat.

Trolls 2, Shia 0.

Sometimes punk kids talking trash need a lesson in respect ... and that's how Faizon Love describes the beatdown he handed a valet in Columbus Airport.

We talked to Faizon about Judge Mathis' advice on how the comedian should handle his criminal case going forward, and he was actually open to it. He still believes he was in the right though because the valet allegedly spit at him.

Love admits he probably could learn some lessons from his airport attack too, but backing down from a fight is definitely not one of them.

DeMarcus Cousins lost his cool ... twice ... and it cost him.

The NBA has fined the New Orleans Pelicans star $50,000 after footage surfaced showing him telling a fan to "suck my d**k" during Sunday night's game against the Lakers.

The league also references an incident where he told a heckler the following night to "sit your fat ass down."

On both occasions, Cousins was being heckled by rival fans. Both were away games.

Don't cry too much for DeMarcus ... he's making $16.9 MILLION this season.

The Alabama theater that banned the new "Beauty and the Beast" for having a gay character damn near projected a drag queen documentary due to a pretty funny mix-up.

Carol Laney owns the Henagar, AL drive-in and tells us she approved "Fierce" as an upcoming feature thinking it was a Game of Thrones-ish kinda flick. She says the poster was misleading -- a woman surrounded by 3 dragons.

Sure, there's plenty of slaying in the docu-film about drag queens, just not the kind Laney had in mind for moviegoers. She says people started calling her out for banning "Beauty and the Beast" ... but leaving the doc on her schedule of upcoming films.

No shocker -- she's now pulled "Fierce" too, saying it's not in "her comfort zone."

Kind of a drag.
