9:21 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained the police report describing what allegedly happened in the lead-up to Bam Margera fleeing into the woods -- and it's a shocking account.
According to cops -- who say they spoke to the alleged victims, who happen to be Bam's family members in this case -- the former 'Jackass' star started banging on his brother Jesse's bedroom door around 8 AM on Sunday ... and left an ominous note behind.
Jesse told police the signed letter from Bam read, "If you even f***ing think of calling the police on me I will officially f*** you up." Jesse goes on to say he then went downstairs to find Bam peeing into the kitchen sink, at which point ... a fight allegedly broke out.
In the docs, Jesse claims Bam wailed on him and struck him multiple times in the head -- and cops make a note of this in their report, noting visible injuries they say they observed.
After the brawl, Jesse goes on to allege that Bam said, "I'll kill you. I'll put a bullet in your head." Jesse also told police that Bam allegedly said he'd also kill everyone in the house ... the occupants of which, at the time, included his dad Phil and two other women. Jesse told police that Bam fled into the woods behind their house after this ... and cops say they came up short when they went looking for him.
Bam Margera is a wanted man in Pennsylvania on a slew of criminal charges -- this after cops say he got into an altercation ... and made a getaway into the woods.
The Pennsylvania State Police tells TMZ ... State Troopers responded to a reported disturbance Sunday morning around 11 AM ET near Pocopson Township -- which resulted in an alleged victim accusing Bam of being involved in some sort of physical confrontation.
The only problem ... by the time cops showed up, Bam had fled the scene of the incident into a nearby wooded area, and as of now hasn't been found.
Now, a warrant has been issued for his arrest ... and the PA State Police are actively searching for him -- asking the public for any help on info regarding his whereabouts. The charges he's facing sound pretty serious ... although, we're told they're all misdemeanors.
While we still don't know what exactly happened here -- or who the alleged victim is -- we know BM's facing 4 counts of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, one count of simple assault and a final count of harassment while subjecting another to physical contact.
As you know ... Bam's been going through a lot of issues in his personal life of late -- most of which seem to stem from his addiction and substance abuse issues ... not to mention his partying lifestyle.
We covered it all in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms!

HONEY BOO BOO Pretty In Pink For Prom ... Pics With BF, Mama June
Alana Thompson, better known as reality TV's "Honey Boo Boo," went all out for prom ... wearing a pink ball gown and pulling up to the high school dance in a horse-drawn carriage.
Alana glammed up for the bash ... curling and styling her blonde hair into ringlets, and posing for pics in her floor-length sequined dress with her prom date -- 21-year-old boyfriend Dralin Carswell.
The pre-prom photo shoot was a reality TV family affair ... with Alana snapping some shots with Mama June.
Alana's prom went down Sunday in Georgia, and she arrived with Dralin in a white and pink carriage, which matched her prom dress, for some real fairytale vibes.
The horse and buggy might have been a smart choice for prom transportation ... as we first reported, Alana's BF was arrested for DUI last month following a police chase with Alana in the car.
Prom's a big part of the high school experience, and it looks like Alana made the most of her last dance.
Mama June says Alana looked "beautiful" and was happy with the way everything turned out.

Tucker Carlson Fired by FOX News

Tucker Carlson is out at FOX News -- a stunning development that comes on the heels of the cable news giant's massive nine-figure settlement of the Dominion Voting defamation case.
The often controversial media personality's been a ratings king for years now in his primetime slot, but the network says this past Friday was his last show. The company says it's agreed to part ways with him, not giving any further reason or context.
They add, "We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."
Instead of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" coming on at 8 PM ET, which was his usual start time, FOX says "FOX News Tonight" will air live in its place as an interim show with a rotating list of FOX personalities hosting until a permanent one is named.
Tucker has been helming his program at FOX for years now -- dating back to 2016 -- and killing his competition at other networks. Prior to getting his show, he had worked at FOX as a contributor and journalist since 2009.
Fox News Settles Dominion Defamation Lawsuit for $787 Million
This move comes after FOX agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle the lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems -- which accused the network of embracing/airing outright lies about their voting machines during the 2020 election.
If it had gone to trial, Tucker and several other FOX personalities would likely have been called to testify.
Tucker was a key figure in this litigation ... text messages of his were aired out during the discovery process, and he was found to have trashed Donald Trump in private to colleagues.
Interestingly enough, Tucker signed off his last show on Friday with "We'll be back on Monday."
It goes without saying ... his tenure at FOX has been incredibly controversial, but also successful by the same token. However you look at it, it's the end of an era.

A once professional ballroom dancer, Goodman served as a 'DWTS' judge from 2005 to 2022 and was known for his wry humor. He acted as head judge in the 2005 season. From 2004 to 2016, he was the top judge on the British adaption of the show called "Strictly Come Dancing."

Drake Bell Threatens Suicide Because of Trolls ... I'm Not a Sex Offender!!!
-
Exclusive
- 1.1K shares
Drake Bell is at his breaking point with internet trolls calling him a pedophile, saying they're driving him to the point of suicide, and will have "blood on their hands" if things don't stop.
Bell's been replying to various Twitter accounts over the last few days -- specifically, those calling him "pedo" and claiming he's a registered sex offender -- and trying to defend himself against the false allegations.
Bell tweeted, "Noooo Immmm Nooooooottttt!!!! You people are going to kill me" in reply to someone who called him a sex offender. He responded to another with ... "Nooooo I wasn't!! You people are destroying my life."
In another back-and-forth, one fan wrote, "Let’s not forget he’s a pedo" ... but another actually defended Bell by saying, "He's not though."
Bell eventually chimed in on that convo with, "Do a second of research This is what I have to live with everyday they are literally going to kill me. Bloods on their hands..."
The examples are endless, and clearly, something that's had a serious effect on the actor/singer ... especially in the wake of going missing last week, and his wife filing for divorce.
As for why the trolls are teeing off on him -- remember, Drake was sentenced to 2 years probation back in 2021 after pleading guilty to one felony charge of attempted endangering children. A woman claimed she and Bell started exchanging sexual messages and photos when she was just 15, and eventually met at one of his shows, where she alleges she performed oral sex on him.
Bell did not have to register as a sex offender as a result of that case ... which is why he's so pissed about the repeated tweets accusing him of that.
TMZ broke the story, Bell was reported missing last Friday, and cops considered him "endangered" before they located him several hours later.
Bell's brother had told cops Drake threatened suicide over child custody issues.
His month got worse when we broke the story his estranged wife, Janet, filed for divorce Thursday.
I found out my wife filed for divorce from TMZ...check out my new song https://t.co/34cYh4JsMA

Interestingly enough, Bell also sounded off about his divorce, tweeting, "I found out my wife filed for divorce from TMZ...check out my new song" and dropping a link to his song "Going Away."

Bill Maher You Got Balls??? Well Then I Have an Award for You!!!
Bill Maher told a great story Friday night about an AAA-list Hollywood shindig where all the beautiful people were railing against cancel culture. They didn't have the balls to follow through, but Bill certainly did -- with the first annual COJONES AWARDS!!!
Bill says a big-time producer invited him to his Brentwood home to moderate a discussion on how to put the brakes on cancel culture. He says it seemed every big actor in Hollywood was there, and they were all charged up. When Bill suggested an awards show to honor those who pushed back, everyone was charged and promised to follow through. They didn't.
Well, on 'Real Time,' Bill did. He presented awards to folks who, as Bill says, told the eggshell skull-whiners ... "F*** off you over-sensitive little s****."
This year's award recipients include the President of Cornell University, who refused to offer a "trigger warning" to students in lectures that may prove too much for them to handle.
Another recipient -- Trader Joe's, which refused to yank Trader José beer from its shelves.
And Netflix honcho Ted Sarandos snagged a set of balls for refusing to pull Dave Chappelle from the menu.
Now if we could only find out who was at that party!!!

Savannah Chrisley Booted From Southwest Flight for Unruly Conduct
Savannah Chrisley says she was barred from taking a Southwest Airlines flight after a heated argument with an employee ... and it all stemmed from an unchecked bag.
The "Chrisley Knows Best" star took to Instagram Thursday to detail on video what happened, explaining that she was about to board the plane from New York to Tennessee when the Southwest worker at the gate said she needed to check her bag.
Chrisley responded that she wanted to take her luggage on the flight to see if it would fit in the overhead bin, but the employee said she couldn't.
After she pushed back a bit, Chrisley says the employee labeled her an "unruly passenger" and a pilot -- who was standing nearby -- came over to try to calm the situation.
But the employee turned to the pilot and stated, "Stay out of it … ma’am you’re not flying on this flight,'” meaning Chrisley.
Pissed, Chrisley says she called the worker an asshole, and then tried to reason with him by pointing out that she had to get home to be with her 10-year-old niece Chloe.
But the worker was undeterred, saying, "I don't care," according to Chrisley, who added, “So Southwest, you’re awful but not going to lie … your pilot was kinda hot.”
Chrisley says she finally boarded a late flight and arrived home in Tennessee around 2 am.
As you probably know, Chrisley's parents -- Todd and Julie -- were convicted last June of tax evasion and defrauding community banks to the tune of $30 million. Both are currently serving a combined 19 years in separate federal prisons.

Timothée Chalamet Ready for My Way-Too-Close-Up!!!
Timothée Chalamet might wanna pump the brakes a little earlier next time, slamming into a camera during a shoot in an apparent case of some serious miscommunication.
Kylie Jenner's new boo was in NYC Wednesday shooting a commercial called "Vertigo" when the mishap went down. You see the actor come down a set of stairs to be greeted by two other actors when the camera jets out and collides with Chalamet.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Unclear who's to blame for the poor choreography, but you can see a piece of the camera break off in the process.
Luckily, everyone seems to keep their cool, Chalamet even helps to pick up the broken piece with a smile on his face ... no word on who will foot the bill for the busted equipment.

Woody Harrelson I'll Take DNA Test to ... See If McConaughey Is Half-Bro
Woody Harrelson is weighing in on the possibility he and Matthew McConaughey might share a father, saying he has no problem getting a DNA test to settle the brotherly question once and for all.
Woody was on Tuesday's episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" when he got on the topic of being related to his "True Detective" costar and real-life BFF.
ICYMI, McConaughey appeared on Kelly Ripa’s podcast last week, and he revealed he and Woody could really be blood!!!
He said there's a possibility his mom Mary Kathlene McCabe and Harrelson’s dad met in West Texas while she was getting divorced.
4/12/23
McConaughey’s father died in 1992 and he admitted that it would be tough accepting that the guy he called dad his entire life might not actually be his blood relation after all.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Woody echoed the idea that the story is "crazy" while talking to Colbert ... adding that the speculation started when he was chatting with Matt's mother, and she hinted she potentially had a thing with his papa Harrelson.
Ya gotta hear how he recalls the moment he talked to McConaughey's mom while they were vacationing in Greece.
Woody's father died in 2007, so DNA's the only way they can confirm this now.
Not coincidentally, we think, Matt and Woody are costarring in a new AppleTV+ series called "Brother From Another Mother."

Two-Time 'Survivor' Contestant Keith Nale Dead At 62 ... After Bout With Cancer
Keith Nale, a two-time contestant on the "Survivor" TV series, has died after a bout with cancer.
His wife, Dana, tells TMZ ... Keith passed away Tuesday in his home in Keithville, Louisiana after he discovered that he had the disease in January. Dana said it was unclear what type of cancer he had.
His presence will definitely be missed. Keith was beloved by his fellow contestants from the "Survivor" franchise, whose producers isolate a group of strangers on an island where they compete in endurance challenges to avoid elimination through voting until one person is left victorious.
Keith and his son, Wes, appeared on 2014's "Survivor: San Juan del Sur," where Keith reached the final four competition before getting the boot. The following year, Keith returned to an alternate version of the show — Survivor: Cambodia — where he nearly made it to the finals again, but he got voted off.
Some of Keith's fellow contestants paid homage to him on social media.
Jeremy Collins, who won "Survivor: Cambodia" in 2015, tweeted his condolences to Keith's family, noting that he and Keith were both firefighters by trade.
Ex-contestant Kelley Wentworth recalled that Keith had the "purest heart" and a good sense of humor when everyone really needed some laughs.
ET was first to report his death.
Keith was 62.
RIP

Raquel Leviss had an awkward first encounter with Tom Sandoval's mom, who knew all about their secret affair ... and we're told the meeting wasn't even supposed to go down.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Raquel took another trip to St. Louis -- Tom's hometown -- in January, following her first outing the month before. They were at a bar with his friends when the place abruptly had to close due to an ice storm warning in the area.
The group decided to take shelter at Tom's mom's house, which was nearby ... making it the first time Raquel had ever met her -- and yes, his mom Terri knew all about their affair.
We're told Terri wasn't cool with their situation but was cordial during the quick exchange. Tom didn't introduce Raquel as his GF, despite the fact Terri already knew.
The group ended up spending the night ... and Tom and Raquel ended up in the same room.
TMZ broke the story, Raquel made her first St. Louis trek at the end of December, with Tom giving her a tour of the city ... but we were told his family had no interest in meeting her, especially knowing what was going on behind the scenes.
We got Tom out on Tuesday and he said it's time for people to move on from Scandoval. He also blasted Miraval Resorts and Spas this week after they seemingly implied he'd be staying at one of their Arizona hotels ... and to connect the dots, Raquel checked into a mental health facility last week, with some speculating that's where she went with him in tow.

Tom Sandoval claims a few of his cast members keep stoking the fire sparked by his affair with Raquel Leviss, and he's calling 'em out for it -- but he also says he's thrilled his ex Ariana Madix has a new man.
We got Tom Tuesday at LAX, and it's obvious he's feeling drained by the whole 'Scandoval.' Of course, most fans won't feel sorry for him, and what he told us probably won't help his case either.
He clearly has beef with some unnamed female "Vanderpump Rules" costars for "perpetuating" all the drama, at least that's how he sees it.

We also asked him about Ariana hooking up with a guy at Coachella over the weekend -- a guy she also drove to LAX for a farewell make out session. Tom, believe it or not, says he's totally cool with it ... and even seems genuinely thrilled for her.
He says all he wants is for Ariana to be happy. 🤷🏽♂️
Tom also doubled down on his frustration with Miraval Resorts and Spas in AZ.
As we reported, the company strongly hinted Sandoval was going to be staying there ... which sparked speculation Raquel was also staying there while getting mental health treatment. Sandoval says he expected better from such a ritzy destination.

'Love Is Blind' Stars Blame Fan Overload For Live Reunion Disaster

Angry "Love Is Blind" fans looking for an explanation for the Netflix meltdown that sunk the live reunion, need to look in the mirror ... according to a few of the cast members themselves.
We ran into a handful of this season's contestants Monday at LAX and, of course, had to ask 'em about what the heck happened Sunday when Netflix's site started glitching out ... and most fans couldn't see the episode.
Here's what fan fave Paul Peden had to say about it ... according to him, it wasn't so much a lack-of-preparation on Netflix's part -- as many fans suspect -- but more so an abundance of eyeballs, which Netflix's servers apparently couldn't handle all at once.
Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' Reunion Delayed, Won't Be Live After All
Paul says the reunion did, in fact, go live in some places, and he thinks the streaming giant should definitely keep dabbling in live programming ... there's, obviously, a ton of interest.
For the record, most viewers couldn't see the episode until Monday afternoon.
Paul also talked to us about his drama-filled journey on the show. As fans know, he left Micah Lussier at the altar -- after she demanded he say "I do" first -- and he talks about how he feels about her last-second switcheroo.
Bottom line ... he says he does sorta consider Micah's move pretty damn villainous.
We also talked to a couple that stayed together post-taping -- Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi -- and they weighed in on the whole live stream fiasco as well.
They, too, attributed the hiccup to an overload of 'LIB' enthusiasts tuning in at once, and mostly see it as a good thing. We also asked them about a lot of other stuff -- like whether they thought Irina Solomonova was genuine in her apology. These 2 are already pros at plugging ... telling us over and over people just gotta watch for themselves.
Pretty good spinning from the crew here ... they know not to bite the hand that feeds!

Netflix's 'Obsession' Pillow Scene Goes Viral Viewers Grossed the Hell Out!!!
Netflix's latest hit show, "Obsession," features a sex scene with just a man and pillow ... and it's freaking out the general public, who are thinking twice about their next check-in.
Richard Armitage's character, William, gets into an affair with his son's fiancée -- played by actress Charlie Murphy -- and at one point in the mini series, he ransacks a hotel room that she had just stayed in ... desperately looking for any lingering sign of her left behind.
Eventually, he finds a pillow on the bed where she slept and picks up her scent ... which then launches him into a full-blown sex act where he's going at it with the cushion, literally. The dude sniffs it up, bites it and humps it like a dog -- as if it was the actual person.
That's where Netflix fans seem to have drawn the line on the kinkiness ... several took to Twitter to express their disgust, joking that they'd never look at another hotel pillow the same way again. That's probably a good rule ... but "Obsession" takes it to a new level.
Of course, a lot of folks are joking with their gross-out takes -- posting funny memes/GIFs to react. Some, it seems, even thought it was pretty hot! To each their own, we suppose.
Here's the crazy part ... the dude himself, Armitage, actually says this scene was largely improvised -- which just speaks to how good of an actor he is -- seeing how damn into it he was on camera. He explains that they were going to do a lipstick thing, but thought the pillow would be more realistic and jarring ... considering how much of a sex fiend the character is.
It's your modern-day 'Unfaithful' ... turned into TV ... and people just can't get enough. Like they say, sex sells ... that never changes in Hollywood, even in the era of Twitter.

Siesta Key Pauly Paul Busted For DUI ... Blew Nearly Twice the Limit

Pauly Paul, one of the stars of MTV's "Siesta Key" series, is on the wrong side of the law after cops say he was speeding around South Florida while extremely drunk.
According to police docs obtained by TMZ, Paul was behind the wheel of a Mercedes going 74 MPH in a 40 MPH zone Sunday in Sarasota when a police officer spotted him.
Cops say Paul slowed down at one point, but put the pedal to the metal once more before an officer finally managed to pull him over with 2 passengers in his car.
The officer says he could immediately tell Paul was under the influence -- he allegedly displayed all the classic symptoms ... reeked of booze, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.
Not just that, Paul allegedly stumbled out of the car, was unsteady on his feet ... and the officer smelled marijuana in the car.
Despite all that, the officer says Paul made a bold prediction that he would beat the field sobriety test, claiming he'd only had 2 drinks at a friend's house. Paul posted a video that day showing himself taking a shot ... unclear if he included that in the 2 drink estimate.
Anyway, you know how this ends ... cops say Paul failed the sobriety tests, and he was arrested for DUI. He got a breathalyzer test at the station, and police say he blew between .151 and .157, just under the .08 legal limit.
He was released after posting $240 bond. We reached out to Paul, and he had no comment.

F. Murray Abraham Apologizes for Alleged Sexual Misconduct Behind 'Mythic Quest' Firing
9:54 AM PT -- April 20 -- We just got the following statement from Abraham: "This is a sincere and deeply felt apology. Though never my intention to offend anyone, I told jokes, nothing more, that upset some of my colleagues and as a result lost a great job with wonderful people."
He concludes, "I have grown in my understanding from this experience, and I hope they will forgive me."
F. Murray Abraham, who's starred in "White Lotus" and "Homeland," faced sexual misconduct allegations on another hit show ... and it was so serious, it reportedly cost him his job.
Abraham got the boot from Apple TV+'s "Mythic Quest" about a year ago, but the reason for his departure was never revealed. Now, a new report in Rolling Stone magazine says the firing was due to 2 alleged incidents of the actor harassing, at the very least, female costars or crew members.
According to the report, Abraham was given a warning after one incident ... and was told to stay away from some of his female costars. Sources say a second incident later went down and when the show creator and star Rob McElhenny found out, Abraham was dropped.
Abraham played C.W. Longbottom, the pretentious head game writer at Mythic Quest HQ. His absence first went into effect at the beginning of season 3, and a send-off for the character was written into the show -- something McElhenny told Variety was "a really fitting tribute to him."
Lionsgate, which produces "Mythic Quest," tells TMZ ... "We take allegations of misconduct seriously and investigate them thoroughly. As a matter of corporate policy, we do not discuss personnel actions.”
We've reached out to Abraham's reps for comment ... so far, no word back.
