Tragic story out of Macclesfield F.C. -- forward Ethan McLeod was killed in a car accident on his way home following the team's National League North game. He was only 21.

Northamptonshire police said the Tuesday crash happened at 10:40 PM near Junction 15, where McLeod crashed his Mercedes into a metal barrier.

No other vehicles were involved, and police are investigating the cause of the crash.

"Despite the efforts of members of the public and officers from Northamptonshire Police, the driver - a man in his 20s from the West Midlands – was pronounced dead at the scene," police said.

CC Sabathia is a lucky man, 'cause it turns out the former MLB ace was just inches away from Ja Rule's historically bad tee shot at the Derek Jeter Invitational in the Bahamas on Tuesday!!

Videos of the errant swing were shared on social media by those in the line of fire ... and the 2009 World Series champion happened to be standing in the area.

In the clip, you see a man seemingly get drilled on the elbow by the shot, which resulted in a loud thud as the entire crowd collectively let out an "ooh."

Well, this is one way for the Knicks to celebrate a big win.

Josh Hart gave Jalen Brunson a big thumbs up on his NBA Cup championship performance on Tuesday ... quite literally -- 'cause he put his digit in firmly in his ass!!

The wild moment happened as New York partied on stage at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas after defeating the San Antonio Spurs, 124-113.

When Karl-Anthony Towns lifted the NBA Cup trophy, Brunson -- the MVP of the game -- turned to help, unknowingly leaving his back perfectly exposed to his mischievous buddy.

The lawsuit filed against Diddy, Druski, and Odell Beckham Jr. that attempted to paint them as sexual predators at a party in 2018 has been tossed out ... because the judge ruled none of the defendants ever got served the papers, and the plaintiff couldn't lock down a lawyer to handle the case after her original one dropped out!!!

On Wednesday, a federal judge in California dismissed the case brought by a woman named Ashley Parham, who filed a suit back in October 2024, claiming she had been assaulted by Diddy, Druski, and Odell Beckham Jr. at a party in Orinda, Calif.

The people she went after immediately challenged the claims ... OBJ questioned ever having been to the area, Druski dropped receipts of his empty bank account to prove he wasn't even a celebrity at the time, and Diddy -- who was hit with several similar lawsuits -- also slammed the claims.

Alix Earle officially hit the quarter-century mark Tuesday ... and she celebrated by giving onlookers at the beach a gift -- an unobstructed view of some major underboob!

AE threw on a pair of nearly see-through white pants and thin sunglasses to complete the outfit ... though we imagine it will be hard for some to tear their eyes away from her top.

The old-school-style video camera Taylor Swift was spotted filming with at the Chiefs game has created serious buzz -- so much so that the product nearly sold out after the pop star was seen using it, TMZ Sports has learned.

ICYMI, the "Opalite" singer was photographed with the handheld video recorder on Sunday, as she sat in her Arrowhead Stadium suite to watch her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Karl-Anthony Towns shared the evidence on Instagram that the two hit his line after their 124-113 win ... and while it's just screenshots of their conversation, the images show the two thespians were totally pumped.

"Marty Supreme approved," Towns wrote on the picture featuring Chalamet.

For the first time in more than a decade, Travis Kelce is playing in a "meaningless" game on Sunday ... but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end doesn't see it like that -- explaining it's a "f***ing blessing" to suit up in the NFL, even if there's no "future" for the squad.

The Chiefs were officially eliminated from a shot at the Super Bowl with a loss to the L.A. Chargers ... a defeat that hurt on several levels, also thanks to Patrick Mahomes' serious ACL injury. K.C. is now eliminated from the postseason for the first time since 2014.

When asked about his thoughts heading into the final three weeks of the season, Travis explained it's "unfamiliar territory" for a ton of guys on the team ... but all he knows how to do is to play like there's no tomorrow.

Victor Wembanyama played in Tuesday's NBA Cup Final against the New York Knicks with a heavy heart ... the San Antonio Spurs superstar learned of his grandma's death just hours before tip-off, with the big man fighting back tears after the game.

Wembanyama was meeting with the media after the 124-113 loss to the Knicks, when the 7'4" center got visibly emotional at the podium, pausing to gather himself before apologizing to those in the room.

"Sorry," Wembanyama said. "I lost somebody today."

Browns legend Joe Thomas has high hopes for Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland ... telling TMZ Sports if the rookie puts together three good performances to end the season, the Orange and Brown just might have their next franchise quarterback on their hands.

We caught up with the Hall of Famer this week ... and with Cleveland currently sitting at 3-11, there weren't too many positives to discuss about his former team's 2025 campaign.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Devin Bush was found not guilty of simple assault and harassment charges on Tuesday ... according to court records.

Bush’s attorney -- Robert Del Greco Jr. -- tells TMZ Sports that the administrative judge overseeing the non-jury trial, Bruce Beemer, found the 27-year-old not guilty following his arrest in May 2025 after he was accused of smashing his girlfriend’s phone.

“The testimony elicited at trial indicated that the putative victim of the domestic violence was electronically and surreptitiously intercepting the oral communications of Devin Bush,” Del Greco said. “When Mr. Bush learned of this interception, he voiced his objection, but the interception continued.”

Another year, another successful “Shaq-A-Claus” event for Shaquille O’Neal ... but the NBA legend says it’s his mission to make the annual shindig even bigger, telling TMZ Sports he wants to have a 50-state “Shaq-A-Thon” in the future!

The LAPD tells us they responded to Ionescu’s home in the Los Angeles area around 8 PM for a burglary investigation, after two suspects used an unknown tool to smash the glass of the rear door of the property, according to investigators.

The thieves then made entry, “ransacked the location and took the victim’s property.” They ultimately fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction.

Wiiiild scene in Thailand ... a pro soccer player attacked a retired U.S. cop and a bar employee after he allegedly tried to skip out on his tab, and boy was he handed some instant karma!

The chaos was caught on video ... showing Osvaldo Dos Santos Neto leaving the Tinder Bar in Udon Thani early Monday morning.

All appeared normal until the bar crew followed Neto out, accusing him of walking out on his 5,100-baht bill (about $162 USD), and that's where things got wild.

Mick Foley says he's had enough of WWE's cozy relationship with Donald Trump -- POTUS' comments on Rob Reiner's death were the last straw -- and now the wrestling legend says he's done with the world's most famous wrestling promotion.

The Hall of Fame wrestler hit up his Instagram page on Tuesday, where he made the announcement, saying ... "Reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

"I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office."
