New video showing the bloody aftermath of a domestic disturbance in Miami, which ended with one man being stabbed to death and a woman covered in blood.

In the footage, obtained by TMZ, you see the woman in sweatpants and a bra handcuffed and soaked in blood as she sits on the floor of a luxury apartment talking to cops.

Cops responded Sunday to a call about a domestic violence incident involving a stabbing and when they got there they say they found a 27-year-old man with an apparent knife wound who was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the man, Christian Tobechukwu Obumseli, and the woman in the video were involved in a physical confrontation that turned deadly.

Cops are not releasing the woman's name, and she has not been arrested ... but Lee Merritt, an attorney working with Christian's family, says the woman is IG model Courtney Tailor ... Christian's girlfriend.

CHATTIN' WITH FANS

In the video, the woman's blood-soaked bra and sweats are identical to what Courtney was wearing earlier that same day when she posted a video of herself on Instagram Live.

You might recognize Courtney ... she was featured in the music video for G-Eazy's 2015 track, "Me, Myself and I."

Folks who knew Christian say he lived in the building with his girlfriend.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As for why Courtney wasn't arrested ... we're told she was taken to the police department for questioning and reportedly threatened to kill herself. She was then placed on a psychiatric hold.

Courtney, who has more than 2 million IG followers, is prominently featured on Christian's IG page.

'The Kardashians' Hulu Takes Over Hollywood For Show Premiere

"The Kardashians" Hulu show has taken over Hollywood -- shutting down several blocks for premiere night -- featuring Kim, Pete, Kourtney, Travis, Kylie, Khloe, Kris and more.

The whole thing went down at Goya Studios Thursday where a select number of guests were invited to hang with the family, watch the first episode from the upcoming series and get eyes on a couple super-loved-up couples.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davison showed up together, though he allowed her to walk the carpet by herself while he waited at the end. In their normal style, Travis and Kourtney couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Kim was dressed in a latex dress exclusively designed by Manfred Thierry Mugler, created jus before his death.

As for the episode -- you can tell Hulu stepped up production -- from the opening drone scene to the cutaway interviews ... it all seems like a step-up from 'KUWTK.'

The premiere's main storyline follows Kim's 'SNL' announcement, along with family reactions and how she planned to do her opening monologue. She talks about Kanye a lot, and it was clearly a time when the two had a solid relationship, as she even ponders bringing him to 'SNL' as her musical guest.

The episode wrapped with thunderous applause from the couple hundred in attendance, and after, guests were treated to drinks -- featuring Kendall's 818 Tequila -- and bites including chicken sandwiches, poke bowls and desserts.

A witness inside tells us Kim and Pete did a ton of socializing, but always seemed to find each other to check in throughout the night.

The rest of the world will get to see the show when it premieres April 14 on Hulu.

British Cycling Bans Trans Cyclists ... After Emily Bridges' Disqualification

British Cycling is now banning transgender athletes from participating in their races ... just a week after trans cyclist Emily Bridges was disqualified from the women's championship.

It's a bit surprising because British Cycling has a Transgender and Non-binary Participation Policy that seemingly allows trans cyclists to compete.

But, since the incident with Bridges -- when the Union Cycliste Internationale banned her from the April 2 race because she was registered as a male cyclist -- the board voted this week to suspend the policy.

"As a result of this, on Wednesday 6 April the British Cycling Board of Directors voted in favor of an immediate suspension of the current policy, pending a full review, which will be initiated in the coming weeks," BC said in a statement.

British Cycling says its initial policy is "unfair on all women riders and poses a challenge to the integrity of racing."

Bridges' mother was not happy when she received the ruling via email ... saying on Twitter, "Dumped by email."

"We've just received this in our inbox. We will be making a statement at some point during the next 24 hrs."

British Cycling says they will work "tirelessly" to make sure their new policy remains "free of hate, discrimination and abuse in all forms, and that we prioritize the welfare of riders, volunteers, event organizers, commissaries and others that our sport can’t continue without."

"As an organization, we remain committed to ensuring that transgender and non-binary people are welcomed, supported and celebrated in the cycling community, and the inclusion of these groups within non-competitive activities remains unaffected by the suspension."

Since her ineligibility, 21-year-old Bridges says she has been harassed by British media and had to deactivate her social media to stop "targeted abuse."

Lady Gaga's Dognapping Suspect Attempted Murder Suspect Mistakenly Released From Jail

The suspect who allegedly shot Lady Gaga's dog walker was accidentally released from jail ... and the L.A. Sheriff's Department is investigating how such a blunder could occur.

19-year-old James Howard Jackson was released Wednesday. Jail records simply say  "dismissed." The Sheriff's department says Jackson was the beneficiary of a clerical error.

Jackson had appeared in an L.A. courtroom Tuesday ... and somehow got released the following day.

The LASD Major Crimes Bureau is now trying to find Jackson .... they're asking anyone with info to contact the Sheriff's Dept.

As we reported, Jackson was in custody for attempted murder in connection with the shooting of Lady Gaga's dog walker, Ryan Fisher, and the theft of two of the singer's French Bulldogs.

Ryan suffered a collapsed lung and serious mobility issues and is still enduring the physical and emotional aftereffects of the shooting.

Jackson and 4 other suspects were arrested 2 months after the incident -- 3 of whom allegedly pulled off the dognapping, while 2 others were arrested as accessories.

TAKEOFF TERROR

A DHL cargo plane made a terrifying landing at Costa Rica's largest airport  ... sliding off the runway and splitting in half.

Check out the dramatic video of the incident as the plane tries to land at San Jose International Airport, on Thursday. The fire department says, the DHL plane had to return, shortly after taking off for Guatemala City, after a failure in the hydraulic system was detected. But, as you can see that landing didn't go according to plan.

The Boeing 757 ended up skidding off the runway, making a turn and breaking in two ... causing a huge dark cloud of smoke and the entire airport to shutdown -- impacting hundreds of flights and over 8,000 passengers.

Fat Joe on Will Smith Oscars Slap Makes Minorities Look Bad ... People Think 'We Don't Know How to Act'

ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK
TMZ.com

Fat Joe says Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars has serious consequences for all POCs when it comes to demanding respect ... especially because it was Will who got violent in public.

We got Joey Crack Thursday in New York City, and asked for his take on the fallout from Will's actions, and the impact on minorities.

You can tell it pains him to say it, but Joe says Will being the culprit makes it much worse for the culture than, for instance, Fat Joe and 50 Cent beefing.

Watch the clip, he really did take that shot at himself -- but his point is people expect more from Will, because as he put it ... the Oscar winner is "the best we got."

TAKIN' NO DISRESPECT

What's more, Joe says the slap looks bad from the outside because it comes at a time when Black and brown people are demanding more respect in society.

Don't get it twisted though, he sounds very sympathetic to Will -- he points out what a great role model the actor has been for decades. But, for Fat Joe, the reality is that slap has some people feeling like "we don't know how to act."

'WALKING DEAD' MOSES J. MOSELEY Scholarship Started In His Honor

The family of "The Walking Dead" star Moses J. Moseley has created the perfect way to honor the actor's legacy by starting a scholarship in his name.

Moses' sister, Teera Kimbro, tells TMZ … the MJM3 Fitness Scholarship came to be after she read the actor's journal after his passing. He had 5 goals written down for the year -- buy a condo, create a cartoon series, go to Germany for his birthday, start a fitness t-shirt brand, and create a scholarship.

She tells us Moses did a survey in college, trying to determine if student debt was a source of depression among college kids ... giving him the idea to create a scholarship and help with students' mental health.

After learning about his goal, Teera knew the idea had to live on, which is when the MJM3 fund was created -- the "3" comes from him being the 3rd child in the family.

The scholarship through Bold.org will provide 3 qualifying high school seniors or undergrads with $1,000 each to go towards their tuition. His family knows Moses would be proud that his legacy is making a difference in the world.

As we reported, Moses' body was found in his car back in January, and cops in Georgia started investigating his death as a possible suicide ... the cause of death couldn't be determined, however ... according to his death certificate.

Terrell Owens To Colin Kaepernick ... Come Play In The FCF With Me!!!

JOIN THE LEAGUE, KAP!
TMZSports.com

Terrell Owens is urging Colin Kaepernick to join forces with him in the Fan Controlled Football league ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks it could ultimately help the QB in his goal to get back to the NFL.

Owens -- who just announced his intentions to play in the FCF this week -- explained to us he believes the league's platform could benefit Kaepernick greatly if the former 49ers star would suit up for a few games.

"I feel like he could come in and really use this to really sharpen his skill set," Owens said. "Especially because there's some questions about him not playing for such a long time."

Kaepernick being in the league would obviously give owners and GMs another chance to see the QB in a competitive setting after the signal-caller hasn't played in the NFL since the 2016 season ... but Owens tells us he thinks it could actually improve the 33-year-old's game too.

Owens says because the FCF is played on a much smaller field, Kaepernick's decision-making and accuracy could improve in a short amount of time in the league.

The FCF is slated to begin its season later this month.

GETTIN' IN REPS

As we reported, Kaepernick is doing everything he can to get another chance at the NFL -- working out with NFL wideouts in front of cameras weekly, while imploring coaches and GMs to give him a tryout.

Is the FCF the next step he should take to earn that look from an NFL team? Stay tuned ...

Fox News Correspondent I Lost Limbs In Ukraine Attack ... But Lucky To Be Alive

Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall says he feels lucky to be alive after suffering life-threatening injuries in a vehicle that took fire while covering the war in Ukraine.

Benjamin just posted a health update from his hospital bed and says he lost half of one leg, plus the foot on the other leg. He also says one hand is being surgically repaired, one of his eyes isn't working and his hearing is "pretty blown."

As we reported ... Benjamin was traveling in Ukraine last month with veteran Fox news photographer, Pierre Zakrzewski, and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kurshynova, when their vehicle was hit by incoming fire in Horenka, a town outside Kyiv.

Pierre and Oleksandra were both killed during the attack, while Benjamin was hospitalized with severe injuries.

Benjamin says despite all the lost limbs he feels "pretty d*** lucky to be here - and it is the people who got me here who are amazing!"

Guess Who This Girl In Pigtails Turned Into!

Before this cute 5-year-old girl was bringing in award-worthy nominations as an actress, she was just another happy girl with a bright future growing up in Santa Monica, California.

Even though this girl decked out in ruffly stripes no longer rocks the pigtail look, she still serves us an edgy look with her cropped bangs, which she sometimes clips back or pushes to the side.

Her star-worthy smile has clearly paid off, as she starred in "The Addams Family" in the early 90s and would go on to land other notable roles such as her iconic character in "Sleepy Hollow."

Can you guess who she is?

Captain America First Comic Sells For $3.1 Million

The first comic book ever to feature Captain America just sold at auction for a near-record price.

The winning bid for "Captain America Comics No. 1" came in Thursday at a whopping $3.1 million ... which is not far off from the $3.6 million someone shelled out in 2014 for the first comic with Spider-Man.

The comic book, which introduced fans to Captain America and his trusty sidekick, Bucky, was published way back in 1941 ... and this one was in near mint condition.

The issue, sold through Heritage Auctions, is 45 pages and the cover features imagery of Captain America punching Adolf Hitler and fighting the Nazis.

Here's the top prices for other superhero comics ... the first appearance of Superman went for $3.2 million in 2014, while the first comic with Batman fetched $2.2 million in January 2021.

The $3.1 million sale price for "Captain America Comics" puts it in the top 5 most expensive comics ever sold.

This same issue has grown in value over the years ... it was previously sold at auction twice before, fetching over $25,000 in 2010 and $915k in 2019.

Comics ... they can be an investment.

Tiger Woods Great First Round At Masters ... 14 Months After Car Crash

UPDATE

1:28 PM PT -- Woods just wrapped up a very impressive first round in his return to the Masters -- shooting a 1-under 71.

UPDATE

Tiger looked like his normal self on the course, rarely making bad shots ... while sinking a bunch of big putts.

UPDATE

None, though, was bigger than the 30-or-so-footer he drained on #16 for birdie. After he drilled that putt, he gave a signature fist pump.

UPDATE
UPDATE

Tiger also dropped an F-bomb earlier in the day, but never lost his cool more than that -- and is now in a great position to make the weekend's cut.

UPDATE

Woods -- who, at the time of his first-round finish was in the top 10 on the leaderboard -- will tee off again on Friday afternoon for his second round.

Tiger Woods is officially back -- the golf legend just teed off at The Masters ... only 408 days after he nearly lost his leg in a car crash.

The 46-year-old hit his opening drive 264 yards in the fairway, just short of the bunker on the first hole at Augusta -- and his surgically repaired leg looks just fine.

Tiger is expected to finish all 18 holes of his first round in the next roughly three hours or so.

The sight is something most golf fans didn't expect to see again ... after Tiger mangled his left leg in a car wreck back in February 2021.

Woods required multiple procedures to fix the damage ... and things were so dire at the time, Tiger said doctors seriously considered amputating the limb.

Woods has worked tirelessly to get back to the course, though ... and said earlier this week that he believes he can legitimately win this weekend's event.

Tiger is playing with Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Masters favorite, Jon Rahm, is expected to tee off at around 11 a.m. PT.

Jennifer Lopez Engaged to Ben Affleck?! Rockin' Diamond Ring

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may have officially cemented their future together -- cause she is wearing a diamond ring on THAT finger -- and something she did with the diamond is raising more suspicion.

J Lo and her daughter, Emme, were out furniture shopping Monday, possibly for their new $55 million home, and if you take a closer look, there's definitely a diamond on the singer's left ring finger.

Interestingly enough, J Lo seems to pick up on the fact there's a photog, because on her way out of the store, she appears to flip the ring, hiding the diamond side in her palm.

If it's legit, the engagement would come on the heels of another big step in Ben and Jen's relationship ... the $55 mil mansion they just went in on together.

As we've previously reported, the massive 10-bedroom, 17-bathroom estate sits in the ritzy Bel-Air area of Los Angeles ... and J Lo and Ben are gearing up to blend their families together and make it their home.

BTW, it wouldn't be the first time the two got engaged to each other, Ben popped the question 18 years ago ... but they called things off before any wedding.

It's interesting, the pair were boo'd up at the premiere of "Marry Me," starring J Lo, back in February ... so, they may have been dropping hints, after all.

Dr. JILL BIDEN SECURITY DETAIL OFFERED Gifts ... From Alleged Fake Federal Agents!!!

Members of Jill Biden's security detail are under investigation after they were offered lavish gifts from 2 men allegedly posing as federal agents ... and prosecutors say those gifts included firearms and rent-free apartments.

The 2 men, Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, were arrested Wednesday in D.C. and charged with impersonating federal law enforcement agents -- prosecutors claim they posed as Department of Homeland Security agents, and then tried to hook up the First Lady's Secret Service agents.

Taherzadeh allegedly offered a $2,000 assault rifle to one of Dr. Biden's agents -- and now 4 of her agents are on administrative leave pending an investigation.

Prosecutors claim the federal posers also lavished Secret Service agents and a real DHS employee with iPhones, a drone, a flat screen TV, a generator, an assault rifle storage case, surveillance systems and law enforcement equipment.

Prosecutors says one Secret Service agent, who was assigned to the protect the White House, lived rent-free in a 3-bedroom luxury apartment provided by Taherzadeh ... where the rent typically runs more than $48,000 a year.

The FBI says Taherzadeh and Ali pretended to be agents from a fake DHS task force investigating violence at the Jan. 6 riots ... and the feds say the men used insignias and firearms used by federal agents to keep up the act.

Prosecutors believe the men were posing as agents "to ingratiate themselves with members of federal law enforcement and the defense community."

The alleged impostor act began to unravel last month, when a U.S. Postal Inspector looked into a possible assault on a letter carrier at the apartment complex where Taherzadeh lived, with the men allegedly identifying themselves as members of the non-existent task force.

FBI agents raided the building Wednesday, leading to the suspects' arrests.

'Shahs Of Sunset' Canceled After 9 Seasons

After 9 seasons on the air, "Shahs of Sunset" has gotten the ax ... but all might not be lost for some of the cast members who still could have some sort of future with the network.

Production sources tell TMZ the Bravo show simply ran its course after first airing in March 2012 ... and a decision has been made to end it.

There's some promising news amid the cancelation, however ... our sources say some of Shah's OG's -- Reza Farahan, Mercedes "MJ" Javid and Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi -- are all in early talks for potential future projects with the network.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

If you didn't know ... "Shahs of Sunset" followed a group of Persian-Americans as they navigated their social lives and careers in Los Angeles -- all while trying to meet the demands of their families and their Shah traditions.

The series premiered with controversy ... concern grew within the Iranian-American community that the show would promote a very stereotypical message to the world.

Cast members have said the series portrays a more "Americanized" version of Persians, comparing their likeness to the "savage" depiction in modern films like 2012's "Argo."
