THE DEADLY JUMP
CEN

A tragic end to what was supposed to be an exciting stunt -- after a father miscalculated his cliff jump -- leading to his death as his family watched in horror.

The video is tough to watch, you see the man take a leap from the 100-foot cliff in Spain. Clearly, he knows something is wrong quickly, letting out a scream before clipping the jagged rock and hitting the water ... you hear the woman recording yell, "Oh my God!"

According to the Majorca Daily Bulletin, the woman recording was the man's wife -- his son was also present -- and they had rented a boat for the day to tour the rocks on one of the Malgrats Isles by Santa Ponsa.

The report says authorities were called to the scene shortly after the accident, and they were able to locate the man's body.

It's unclear who the man was or if he was visiting the area on vacation.

Tiffany Haddish says she's a coy person, so she's really trying hard not to spill the beans about a rumored music project with Beyonce ... but there's a lot of smoke that could lead to something fire!

The "Girls Trip" star joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and hinted at an upcoming collab with Queen B ... and even though she was coy and bashful about possibly getting in the studio with one of her music idols, there's enough between the lines to believe it may be happening, or it already went down.

Tiffany's been making new music with the likes of Trina and Jada Pinkett Smith, and we've been hearing she was also recruiting Beyonce, Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne to the project.

One thing is for certain ... Tiffany really admires Beyonce's work, and let's be honest, who wouldn't want to get with Bey in the studio?!?

It's interesting ... Tiffany says her original plan was to only use the music in movies and TV shows she's producing but not acting in, but she tells us why the financials might cause her to change course and drop the music publicly first.

Floyd Mayweather Dubai Exhibition Fight Canceled ... Plan To Reschedule Event

UPDATE

11:00 AM PT -- The people behind the now-canceled Floyd Mayweather fight are still vowing to hold the event ... just not this weekend in Dubai, as was originally planned.

UPDATE

The Global Titans Fight Series released a statement addressing the death of United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the subsequent shut down of businesses across the country, which put the kibosh on the event.

UPDATE

"Out of deepest respect and due to these unforeseen circumstances of Force Majeure, the Global Titans Dubai event which was scheduled to take place on May 14th at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah has been postponed until further notice, with a new date to be announced very soon."

UPDATE

"We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and reassure fans that this spectacular event will be staged in future."

UPDATE

No word yet on a date.

UPDATE

Floyd Mayweather's much-anticipated boxing match in Dubai this weekend has been called off ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us ... the exhibition fight -- which was supposed to pit Mayweather against his former sparring partner Don Moore on Saturday on the Burj Al Arab hotel helipad -- will no longer go down following the death of United Arab Emirates President, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Government officials, according to WAM, the official UAE news agency, have suspended "work in ministries, departments, federal and local institutions, and the private sector" for the next three days due to the Sheikh Khalifa's passing ... and, according to our sources, that means the Floyd fight cannot happen this weekend.

We are told, though, the two boxers could attempt to reschedule the match for sometime next week.

Floyd has yet to comment on the fight's cancelation ... though he did mourn Sheikh Khalifa's death in an Instagram post early Friday morning.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"Sending my condolences to the entire UAE," he said. "RIP Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed."

Mayweather and Moore have both been in Dubai the past few days promoting the fight ... with Moore saying he was legitimately gunning to beat the 50-0 boxing legend.

The fight was scheduled to be just the third fight Floyd's taken since he beat Conor McGregor in 2017. Mayweather previously beat Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition in 2018, and seemed to easily handle Logan Paul in a non-scored exhibition in 2021.

WWE legend Tammy Sytch has been thrown back behind bars ... a judge just revoked her bond at a hearing on Friday morning.

Sytch initially posted the bond on May 7 ... one day after she was arrested for allegedly killing a man while driving drunk in March in Florida.

Prosecutors, though, argued that Sytch should not have been given bond -- calling her a danger to the community -- and in a Volusia County courtroom Friday morning, a judge agreed ... revoking it and putting her back in jail.

Sytch is expected to remain behind bars until at least her next court hearing on May 31.

As we reported, Sytch has been hit with eight criminal charges -- including DUI causing death -- after officials accused her of drunkenly causing a fatal car crash on March 25.

According to court documents, prosecutors say she had a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher when she crashed her car into a stopped vehicle on United States Highway 1 in Ormond Beach. Prosecutors say the collision ended up killing a 75-year-old man.

Sytch is facing serious prison time if convicted on the charges.

It's Tricky with Raquel Harper

Gillie was on the "It's Tricky with Raquel Harper" earlier last week when he claimed Lil Wayne appeared to be scared of him, saying hi and quickly fleeing the room when the two ran into each other recently.

Apparently, Young Money President, Mack Maine, got wind of the interview and flamed Gillie on Instagram, claiming he was capping over their decades-long beef. During the interview with Raquel, Gillie said he recently saw Lil Wayne at a Jackson State University event and claims a shook Weezy "got the f*** outta there!" after a brief encounter.

MEETIN' WEEZY

Mack Maine posted footage of the JSU meet-up which does see a smiling Wayne briefly connect with Gillie and his "Million Dollaz Worth Of Game" co-host Wallo — but doesn't appear to have the tension Gillie claims he felt during the exchange.

MM went on to drag Gillie further, sarcastically asking if he did indeed ghostwrite "Tha Carter" (Wayne's breakout album from 2004), who penned the other 4 successful installments.

Mack and Wayne have been thick as thieves for years, so you can pretty much guarantee Wayne shares the same sentiments.

The drama stems from Gillie allegedly doing extensive ghostwriting work for a then newly solo Lil Wayne and he went go on to claim he never got paid. Their beef thankfully never got violent but did see a few ugly diss tracks come from outta Gillie's direction.

One person who's not in the crosshairs is Raquel ... who didn't gather much animosity from the convo, just clarifications.

UPDATE

9:29 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained the mug shot Jeudy took following his arrest.

The alleged victim in Jerry Jeudy's criminal tampering arrest wants the case thrown out -- telling a judge she's never felt threatened by the NFL star and he never put a finger on her.

The Denver Broncos wide receiver and the mother of his 1-month-old child appeared in court in Colorado on Friday ... where she pleaded with the judge to dismiss the 23-year-old's domestic violence criminal tampering case.

As we previously reported, the alleged incident went down at around 10:15 AM on Thursday ... when Jeudy was accused of illegally keeping property from the mother of his child, according to the Arapahoe County sheriff.

The ex-Alabama star was arrested and spent the night in jail ... before appearing in court Friday morning.

The judge imposed a mandatory protection order on Jeudy ... but the alleged victim did NOT request a no-contact order.

Jeudy is set to be released on personal recognizance.

The NFLer's lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, told reporters after the court appearance his client should not have been arrested or incarcerated.

"Bad things happen to good people and that's what I think this case is," Steinberg said.

Jeudy's next court date is set for May 31.

Kendrick Lamar Supports Trans Community In New Song 'Auntie Diaries'

Kendrick Lamar is stepping into territory seemingly every mainstream rapper has refused to enter ... bringing attention to the trans community and offering his support through the telling of his own personal experiences.

In his song, "Auntie Diaries," Kendrick starts by rapping "My auntie is a man now" ... and then, he goes on to talk about his transition. Later in the song, he reveals his cousin is trans as well, rapping, "Demetrius is Mary-Ann now."

Kendrick says, "I mean he's really Mary-Ann, even took things further. Changed his gender before Bruce Jenner was certain. Living his truth even if it meant see a surgeon."

Of course, many folks took to social media to share their thoughts -- with many calling it a groundbreaking rap song and pointing out the fact that this hasn't been done before, at least not by such a celebrated artist in the genre.

It's pretty significant ... Kendrick raps openly and candidly about learning to understand and grow from these family members. He even talks about being in elementary school and the mistakes he made, including when he'd use homophobic slurs.

At one point, he says "The day I chose humanity over religion the family got closer, it was all forgiven" ... clearly taking a stand against homophobia, especially in the church.

As you know, Kendrick released his highly anticipated album "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" Friday. He's known to touch on really important topics in his music ... and clearly, this album didn't disappoint.

Jessica Simpson Showin' Off for the Camera!!! And Lookin' Like Farrah

Jessica Simpson had a 2-step diet plan -- lose the weight, and then show it off, and she has now done both in pretty spectacular form.

Jessica was leaving her office in L.A. Thursday and she had heads turning for several reasons. She looks pretty incredible and was wearing precisely what best shows off the results of a pretty intense regime.

The other thing that's striking ... JS is channeling Farrah Fawcett with her long, flowing locks. It's a look that propelled Farrah into legendary status, and it's not doing bad for Jessica.

Simpson's been showing off the results of dropping 100 lbs for the 3rd time. She posted pics recently of her Cabo vacay ... posing for the camera in a 2-piece. She was there with hubby Eric Johnson and their 3 kids, 9-year-old Maxwell, 8-year-old Ace and 3-year-old Birdie Mae.

As for her most recent weight loss journey, Jessica doubted she could pull it off, saying, "I never thought this moment could or would happen"

Gunna Mug Shot Hoodie Causing Quite the Buzz ... Helping Sales Too!!!

Gunna's still locked up, but there's one company reaping the benefits of his clothing choice as he turned himself in ... customers are flooding its site to look like their favorite rapper.

Gunna was booked on RICO charges Wednesday in Fulton County, and while his mug shot appeared to be a little fuzzy, some eagle-eyed fans couldn't help but notice the logo on the hoodie he was wearing -- it's a brand called LaRopa.

We spoke to a rep for the clothing company who tells us the day Gunna's mug shot was released, the brand saw a 15% increase in sales for the hoodie, compared to a normal day.

Not only did sales jump on Wednesday, the trend continued Thursday as well ... with a 24% increase for the top.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

We're told Gunna doesn't have a stake in the company ... he just happened to be wearing it during his arrest. However, he's not the only celeb to have rocked LaRopa in the past ... Playboi Carti, Bella Hadid, Erika Jayne and Young Thug -- who is also locked up on related charges -- have all been spotted in LaRopa before.

TMZ broke the story, Gunna's lawyers claimed the rapper is innocent, hammering cops for using lyrics against him and pointing out the many things Gunna has done for his community -- including the fact he helps to feed about 400 students per week.

Queen Elizabeth Mobility Issues be Damned ... Horses Get Me Going

Queen Elizabeth started her week with some serious mobility issues -- which prevented her from attending a Royal function -- but ended it surrounded by some of her favorite 4-legged friends.

QE2 had the best seat in the house at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in England Friday ... sporting a scarf on her head and a massive smile on her face.

The appearance has to be a sign of relief for many, considering Her Royal Highness announced she'd miss the State Opening of Parliament on Tuesday because of "episodic mobility problems."

It was the first time in 59 years the Queen didn't attend the opening, instead, Prince Charles took on the duties.

As we reported, the 96-year-old battled COVID back in February and said in April the virus had left her feeling "very tired."

The Queen has her Jubilee coming next month ... better rest up!

Elon Musk I'm Pushing the Pause Button on Twitter Stock Tanks in Premarket Trading

Elon Musk is nothing if unpredictable, so he was true to form in a stunning announcement ... he's putting the brakes on the Twitter deal, and the reaction is telling.

Elon just said he's putting a temporary hold on his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, and the stock tanked in pre-market trading -- down 25%. The reaction is interesting ... if the prevailing view was against Elon buying Twitter, you'd think the stock might have gone up, or at least remained stable.

As for why Elon's putting the brakes on the deal ... he says he wants to make sure spam and other bogus accounts represent less than 5% of the 229 million users on the platform.

There are other theories ... this may be his way of pulling out of the deal entirely, but that's typically not the way he rolls. The other play would be to make the folks at Twitter nervous that he's pulling out and then he would swoop back in and offers less than the $44 billion.

BTW ... Musk has long said he wants to remove "spambots" from the social media giant.

Christina Haack Living Large In New Mansion!!! Back to the Beach in Newport

Christina Haack, now Hall, may have a lot of drama right now with her ex-husband Ant Anstead, but that's not stopping her from living large ... cause she just scooped up a brand new $12 million mansion.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the former "Flip or Flop" star is living it up in her old stomping grounds of Newport Beach once again ... a month after selling her home 30 minutes south in Dana Point.

We're told the house sold Wednesday in an off-market deal.

As you know, Christina recently remarried, tying the knot with real estate agent, Josh Hall ... we're told the two bought the home together.

The purchase comes after she sold her Dana Point home for $11.5 million last month, after less than a year of owning it ... ya gotta assume that helped a lot when it came to pulling the trigger on this one!

The modern home is just shy of 7,000 square feet with a big pool, an interstellar movie theatre and just insanely gorgeous grounds.

We broke the story ... Christina sold her Newport Beach home she shared with Ant in June 2021.

ICYMI, Ant recently accused her of being an absentee mom ... claiming she put their 2-year-old son Hudson at risk and uses him for social media clout. Christina fired back saying she sees Hudson more than "9 full days each month" and she never used him for clout.

Keven Stirdivant of KASE Real Estate represented the seller and Christina.

Welcome home to Newport, Christina!
