Ying Yang Twins D-Roc Collapses on Stage
One of the Ying Yang Twins collapsed at a concert over the weekend, and had to be carried off the stage.
The Twins were performing at a show in Springfield, MO at the Ozark Empire Fair, when 30 minutes into their set, D-Roc just crashed to the floor of the stage. Security rushed up to him and got him off the stage ... presumably for help.
The Ying Yang Twins were special guests at the concert, headlined by Vanilla Ice.
It's unclear what happened to him ... temps were in the 80s so it doesn't seem like heat exhaustion. We don't know if he was taken to the hospital nor do we know his condition.
BTW ... the show went on.

Billy Porter SCOTUS IS COMING FOR GAY MARRIAGE ... Slippery Slope, Clarence!!!

Exclusive

Billy Porter thinks the Supreme Court is going to strike down gay marriage just like abortion rights ... but he's got a feeling SCOTUS might stop short at Justice Clarence Thomas' interracial marriage.
We got Billy in NYC and asked how likely he thinks it is SCOTUS will keep rolling back the clock, and he believes nothing is safe when it comes to the highest court in the land.
Billy says SCOTUS is coming for pretty much everything and everybody, not just gays ... and the only thing not on the list is interracial marriage, for one specific reason.
BP's basically saying the fact Justice Thomas is married to a white woman, Ginni Thomas, is the only thing keeping interracial marriage from going the way of the dodo. Still, Billy's got a warning for Clarence.
We also asked Billy about GOP Congressman Glenn Thompson, who voted against protecting same-sex marriage ... then turned around and attended his gay son's wedding.
Bill says it reeks of hypocrisy .... and he's got some advice for those who want to protect people's rights.

Jake Paul Hasim Rahman Jr. Fight Canceled ... Over Weight Issue

Jake Paul's boxing match against Hasim Rahman Jr. has been canceled, according to the Problem Child's boxing promotion, after the 12-1 fighter allegedly failed to meet contractual obligations tied to his weight.
Paul vs. Rahman Jr. was set to go down August 6 at Madison Square Garden in NYC ... but just one week before the highly anticipated scrap, Most Valuable Promotions announced the fight was off.
First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me.
— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 31, 2022 @jakepaul
I apologize to all of the of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https://t.co/0q6MxqG3XJ
It all has to do with the weight of Hasim, who previously fought at heavyweight, weighing more than 260 pounds. For the fight with Jake, Rahman Jr. agreed to weigh a maximum of 200 pounds at weigh-ins, the day before the fight.
However, MPV says Rahman Jr. was obligated to show the NY state athletic commission officials he was losing weight in the lead-up to the fight, in an effort to prevent a big weight cut in an attempt to make 200 pounds.
Unfortunately, MVP says Hasim had lost less than one pound since signing the contract for the fight more than 3 weeks ago.
Due to this development, the athletic commission dictated the fight would be fought at 205 pounds instead. Paul -- who weighed in at 190 pounds for his second fight with Woodley -- says he agreed to the change.
But, MVP claims Rahman Jr. then demanded the match be fought at 215 pounds ... a huge jump from the originally agreed upon 200 pounds.

— Most Valuable Promotions (@MostVpromotions) July 31, 2022 @MostVpromotions
That's where Jake drew the line ... and that's why MVP says the fight isn't happening.
"MVP and Jake Paul will not reward someone that has conducted themselves in such a deceiving and calculated manner. Therefore, MVP is left no choice but to cancel the August 6th event. This forced outcome impacts Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and every other fighter on this card who have trained tirelessly over the past few months for this event," a statement released by the promotion said.
A few weeks ago we talked to Rahman Jr. ... and he seemed to take issue with the weight cut.
Jake responded to the cancelation, saying ... "First Tommy Fumbled and now Hasim Rahman Crumbled. These boxers are the most difficult people to work with and continually lack professionalism and confidence to fight me."
"I apologize to all of the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans."
Of course, Hasim wasn't Jake's original opponent. That was supposed to be Tommy Fury ... but Tyson's bro pulled out over issues traveling to the U.S.
It's unclear if Paul will now attempt to reschedule the fight with Tommy sometime in the near future.

Ric Flair I'm 'Drinking Every Night' Before Final Fight ... I'm No Good Sober!!!

Exclusive
- 2.2K shares
Ric Flair is preparing for his final wrestling match the only way the Nature Boy would -- by training his ass off and drinking every night leading up to it.
73-year-old Flair is slated to wrestle for the very last time (and first in-ring bout since 2011) on Sunday in Nashville ... teaming up with his son-in-law, Andrade El Idolo, and fighting Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett.
We spoke with Naitch leading up to the fight ... and he says he's faced plenty of challenges in training, but he never thought once about postponing or backing out.
Flair says he recently thought he had pneumonia or COVID-19 and dealt with plantar fasciitis ... but now, he's "good to go."
"I would never postpone it," Flair tells TMZ Sports. "They'd have to kill me for that. So many people have contributed their time and effort to make this happen. I just wanted to be at 100% of what I can be now."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Flair has dealt with numerous issues in the past -- he previously said it's a "miracle" he's alive after several serious health scares -- but he tells us he's beating all odds and training like a madman leading up to the match ... even doing 500 squats a day and crushing it on the stationary bike, despite having a pacemaker.
Ric says he's getting his heart rate much higher than he's expected to, and he's also drinking his fair share of adult beverages to make sure he's his true self.
"I guaranteed you that I'll be drinking every night," Flair told us. "I don't do good when I don't drink."
Flair says it'll be an emotional night to say the least ... and his whole family will be there to watch him perform.
As for whether he's guaranteeing a win, Flair's got a great perspective on the potential outcome.
The event -- put on by Starrcast -- goes down Sunday night on Fite!

Celebrity Scramble Guess Who!
Underneath this spiked-out man is an American actor who started his career by double-dipping in the ultimate childhood TV networks: Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel. Even though he was just getting his feet wet in the industry, his role in "Hannah Montana" served him quite well and propelled him into landing a main role on a hit show alongside Jamie Lynn Spears.
He recently put on his best 'rubber legs' and sauntered onto "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" ... just ahead of his current movie premiere. Can you detect the 'Hound Dog' that lies under this scrambled celeb? 'It's Now or Never!'

Taylor Swift Fan Claim She Donated to Environment Charity??? Likely BS Amid Jet Backlash
Taylor Swift is getting torn up after everyone learned her private jet has been getting used A LOT, but one fan tried deflecting the outrage ... by posting an apparent false claim.
A self-described Swiftie threw up a couple tweets Friday that got a ton of traction online ... this as the backlash against TayTay continues to mount amid news that her jet has been dumping CO2 emissions all over the place for several months now ... just the latest celeb to be called out for what many label a massive carbon footprint being left on the environment.
The woman -- who goes by Britt, with the handle @taysrep89, and devotes a majority of her feed to singing TS's praises -- wrote, "TAYLOR SWIFT JUST OFFERED TO DONATE 10K TO MY ENVIRONMENT ORGANIZATION?? THIS IS BIGGER THAN ALL OUR DONATIONS FROM THE PAST 3 MONTHS THANK YOU SO MUCH @taylorswift13."
BTW, Britt claims she's the head of an environmental charity of some sort called the National Environmental Protection Agency -- which, as far as we can tell, doesn't exist. The EPA sure does, but there aren't a lot of legitimate hits with the word "National" at the front.
In any case, the woman doubled down on her claim that Taylor had sent her/her supposed org $10,000 ... not just showing a screenshot of what appears to be a DM from the singer ... but going on to post more interactions that seemingly show the convo continuing.
This gal said, yes, this is real ... but her tweets since suggest the whole thing's a hoax. Tweets she posted Saturday allude to some sort of lie, and how she can't be held accountable. And, if you dig through her replies, you'll see people acting shocked to learn this was all a prank ... with this woman apparently confirming that, albeit sorta cryptically.
If you look at her responses and tweets from today, you'll see she apparently doesn't mind if folks are calling her out for putting forth a false narrative about Taylor ... because this fan thinks she's actually doing Taylor a huge favor by playing crisis PR manager on her behalf.
Of course, Taylor herself has remained relatively silent on this issue -- although her rep did tell us this week her jet is loaned out to others ... so not all of its use is directly on her.

Dave Chappelle Tokes Up, Performs with Snoop ... Wifey Likes to Party Too!!!
Dave Chappelle was letting it rip this weekend -- smoking and singing songs next to Snoop Dogg up in Northern California ... and the guy's wife was in on the fun as well!
The comedian was on hand Friday night at the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa Valley, where he took the stage next to SD to not just tell jokes and talk ... but to actually flex his pipes a bit. Indeed, they were rapping and crooning together -- and it's pretty funny.
Of course, Dave was also kind of in scavenger mode -- smoking what appeared to be a blunt with Snoop -- and the Doggfather actually comments on it at the end of the clip.
Essentially, Snoop says Dave was transforming into himself right before his eyes the more weed he took in -- and he goes on to explain that's why he doesn't like toke up with that many people ... otherwise, there'd be a crap ton of Snoop Doggs running around. 😆
BTW, DC's wife, Elaine, was also there during the festivities ... and it looks like she was having a ball alongside her hubby. There's photos of the two of them hugging up on each other, but this shot here kinda captures the vibe of the night in full.
We hear a lot about Elaine in Dave's standup, but hardly ever see her out in public ... so it's cool to catch her in action like this. Per usual, Dave's rolling with the good times -- and any lingering controversy regarding 'The Closer' just doesn't seem to stick ... at least to him.

President Biden I Got Covid Again ... After Days of Being Negative

2:48 PM PT -- There's a lot of hoopla surrounding the COVID announcement regarding Biden, but he wants the world to know he's doing A-OK ... by posting this video of him and his dog.
A quick update. pic.twitter.com/FgT1sGlZCY
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 30, 2022 @POTUS
Check out this video posted to Joe's social media page, where assures everyone that's he's feeling fine and that he'll be working from home for the time being. His German Shepherd, Commander, is right there by his side ... so this diagnosis isn't as dire as some are making it out to be.
President Biden has contracted COVID-19 again -- this after several days of testing negative for the virus and seemingly entering the recovery lane, with any illness in the rearview.
JB announced he'd tested positive once more on Saturday, taking to Twitter to write ... "Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again. This happens with a small minority of folks. I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me. I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon."
Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again.

This happens with a small minority of folks.
I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me.
I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon.
His White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, supplemented the news with a bit more information and context, publishing a letter that further described Biden's renewed case.
Dr. O'Connor described this as a "rebound" effect, something he says happens with a small percentage of people who catch COVID and are treated with something called PAXLOVID -- which seems to be a medication POTUS was given to help combat the virus and symptoms.

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 30, 2022 @WhiteHouse
His letter goes on to say Biden tested negative on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday -- but despite this, an antigen test administered on Saturday morning proved to be positive. The doc notes, "The President has experienced no reemergence of symptoms, and continues to feel quite well."
It continues, "This being the case, there is no reason to reinitiate treatment at this time, but we will obviously continue close observation." Even though he won't go on any more meds for COVID, Biden will re-enter isolation procedures out of precaution, just like before.

Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' Fans Gather En Masse to Dance ... All These People in Red!!!
Kate Bush is having a moment in 2022, which couldn't be more clear than what's happening this weekend -- namely, thousands of people coming together to dance to one of her songs.
It's the singer's 64th birthday Saturday, which also happens to coincide with 'Wuthering Heights Day' ... an annual event where her legions of fans come flocking to different sites around the world to collectively boogie to her signature track of the same name.
Of course, they're all dressed in red ... a direct homage to KB's iconic music video -- in which she also puts on some killer hippy-dippy moves in a field, surrounded by woods.
Supposedly, this has been a thing for a while -- dating back to 2013, it seems -- but the yearly get-together was paused during COVID, and hasn't fired back up until now. Since then, Kate has seen a resurgence in pop culture ... thanks to "Stranger Things" using her song "Running Up That Hill."
Soooo, thanks to that renewed popularity ... this year's Wuthering Heights Day is insane, with pop-ups in Sydney, different parts of the U.K. and beyond -- the turnout might be higher than ever before, frankly.
VIDEO: Kate Bush fans dress in red and dance together, paying homage to the iconic artist's 1978 track Wuthering Heights. The event went ahead for the first time since 2019 after #COVID19 restrictions were lifted. pic.twitter.com/crElmHkeU8
— AFP News Agency (@AFP) July 30, 2022 @AFP
Looks like Kate Bush's relevancy in society is stronger than it might've been in her heyday. When you got a 'Midsommar'-esque shindig like this -- it's hard to deny, she's still a thing.
Skal!

Arnold Schwarzenegger Shout-Out to My Late Mother ... Day Before My 75th Bday!!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger hit a milestone in age this weekend -- but he doesn't really wanna talk about that ... instead, he put the focus on his late mother, with a very touching tribute.
The ex-California governor and legendary movie star hit the big 7-5 Saturday, and he's getting tons of tributes online and elsewhere ... with everyone wishing him a happy 75th birthday. Of course, it's well-deserved -- but AS's mind seems to be elsewhere right now.
Today my mother, Aurelia, would have been 100. She was the best mother you can imagine and I’ll always love her. I can’t explain how much she meant to me, but she is the number one reason I won’t call myself self-made. pic.twitter.com/jCXSdx9S2N
— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) July 29, 2022 @Schwarzenegger
On Friday -- the day before Arnold's own bday -- he posted a remembrance for his mom, Aurelia, whom he said would've turned 100. He explains how much his mother meant to him while she was alive, and what she taught him growing up that he still upholds today.
Arnold writes, "Today my mother, Aurelia, would have turned 100. She was the best mother you can imagine and I’ll always love her. I can’t explain how much she meant to me, but she is the number one reason I won’t call myself self-made."
She showed me unconditional love, the importance of keeping my house clean, how to make the perfect schnitzel, and patience. A lot of patience. Make sure to tell your mothers how much they mean to you! pic.twitter.com/pBffsRbCUy
— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) July 29, 2022 @Schwarzenegger
He adds, "She showed me unconditional love, the importance of keeping my house clean, how to make the perfect schnitzel, and patience. A lot of patience. Make sure to tell your mothers how much they mean to you!"
Aurelia passed away while visiting the gravesite of her late husband, Gustav, in her native Austria back in 1998. She collapsed during the visit after suffering a heart attack -- and despite being flown to the nearest hospital, she died.
It greatly affected Arnold at the time, whose Hollywood star was at its peak ... he said his world was crushed, and clearly -- his mother's death still means a great deal to him today.
He wants to celebrate her, and the world wants to celebrate him ... just celebrate the Schwarzeneggers in general this week, 'cause they've given us all a lot. Happy birthday!

Jon Stewart Calls BS on Ted Cruz ... You're Lying About the Vet Bill!!!

Exclusive
- 701 shares
11:11 AM PT -- 7/30 -- Jon Stewart has fired back at Sen. Ted Cruz after his interview with TMZ down in D.C. ... and his message is clear -- what TC is selling about last-minute changes regarding mandatory and discretionary spending is absolute bull crap.
Check out what the former 'Daily Show' host had to say about our clip -- he chopped it up piece by piece and responded to each aspect that Sen. Cruz laid out for us on camera.
A Message to and from Mister Senator Ted Cruz...Attorney at Law#PassthePactact pic.twitter.com/QjGRGdPmq4
— Jon Stewart (@jonstewart) July 29, 2022 @jonstewart
Jon can do more justice here than we can, so we strongly recommend watching his rebuttal in full -- but essentially, he argues Cruz is playing a semantics game when it comes to the type of spending this veterans bill would fall into ... just to deflect and confuse people.
As John puts it ... nothing has fundamentally changed in the bill since Cruz and other Republicans originally voted for it -- so Ted's rationale, per JS, makes no sense at all.
Senator Ted Cruz says Jon Stewart has it all wrong ... he supports veterans, but wasn't down to support the bill that just went down in flames ... saying the Democrats were guilty of a cheap trick that would cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.
We got the Texas Senator Thursday at Reagan National Airport and asked about the GOP's opposition to the PACT Act -- a bill designed to expand healthcare coverage for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins during their service.
Jon Stewart went nuclear on Republicans, especially Senator Pat Toomey, after the PACT Act was shot down ... calling him a "F*****g coward" for voting against the bill.
Cruz says he actually supports the PACT Act -- despite voting against it -- because he says the Democrats were using it as a vessel to spend way more over the next ten years. It gets super technical, but Cruz thinks the bill would open the door to allow Democrats to spend another $400 billion on programs unrelated to veterans. That's certainly not the way Democrats and veteran groups see it.
Stewart was recently floated as an appealing Democratic Presidential candidate in 2024 ... we tried to ask Cruz his thoughts on Stewart as a politician, but he bounced ... saying he had to catch a flight.

Ivana Trump Pics of Gravesite Go Viral ... Bare at DT's Golf Course
Ivana Trump was laid to rest at her ex-husband's golf course this month -- and now, photos of her gravesite have emerged ... which are getting a major side-eye from the Internet.
Here's the deal ... Donald and his kids had their late mother buried at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ about a week and change ago -- which might sound like a strange place to entomb a loved one ... but, hey, to each their own. It's a family decision.

The problem now is that pictures of her actual gravesite have surfaced for the world to see -- this after being snapped and published by the New York Post -- and people are shaking their collective heads at the images ... which many are calling sad, bare and disrespectful.
Indeed, her burial plot does appear a bit ... bland. And not just that, but it's completely isolated -- without any adornment or much of anything else to honor her, save for a small bouquet of white flowers and a marble plaque that seems slapped down at her feet.
Beautiful final resting place for your mom, @DonaldJTrumpJr. I especially love the inscription on her gravestone. Truly heartwarming. RIP Ivana. pic.twitter.com/fzsGCcgPF1
— Hamish Mitchell (@H_MitchellPhoto) July 30, 2022 @H_MitchellPhoto
As some pointed out, her gravestone inscription has barely any writing on it at all -- just her name and her DOB and DOD ... that's about it. No other words of remembrance for Ivana.
While it might seem like a bizarre sight -- and just a weird and inappropriate place to bury DT's ex-wife -- this is actually something The Donald has reportedly been gunning for for a while ... namely, getting authorization for a decent amount of burial plots on his property.
Until then, though, it looks like Ivana's out to pasture, perhaps literally, all by her lonesome.

Drake Brings Out Nelly Furtado at OVO Fest ... Crowd Loses It
Drake's been on a roll with iconic music acts lately, and he kept that going with OVO Fest this week ... kicking off the event with a performance from none other than Nelly Furtado.
It's true ... Drizzy was able to book the reclusive Canadian singer Thursday for his North Stars concert, Day 1 of the event -- which is a big deal ... NF hasn't hit a stage publicly since at least 2017, and hasn't really performed much in general dating back to 2007.
oh fuck drake brought out nelly furtardo. dead pic.twitter.com/aMSdkOJVg0

Of course, she was hot stuff in the 2000s ... with a slew of fan-favorite hits, some of which she sang side by side with Champagne Papi and the rest of the crowd, who went nuts.
You gotta watch this, because Drake certainly hyped it up ... telling the audience that he needed them to sing as loud as possible for the next artist he was gonna bring up, noting it was a bit of a mission to get her to come out like this. Then, Nelly emerges ... and it's wild.
drake and nelly furtado singing i’m like a bird together.. this is canadian history pic.twitter.com/KhIh5qan20
— t (@ANTlOVO) July 29, 2022 @ANTlOVO
She sang "Promiscuous Girl" and "I'm Like a Bird," among other tracks ... and her set essentially became a sing-along. At one point, Drake even said she had a choir on her hands that night -- so yeah, she was feeling the love from the OVO-goers. Super cool moment.
Nelly has had issues with the limelight, which led to her stepping away. So, the fact Drake got her out is epic. Even all these years later, people still love them some Nelly Furtado.
