Policeman Faints During Queen Elizabeth's Procession ... Taken Out On A Stretcher
Fainting seems to be a reoccurring theme as Queen Elizabeth II gets closer and closer to her final resting place ... because a policeman took a hard fall during Her Majesty's funeral procession.
The officer collapsed Monday morning as the procession passed The Mall in London, near Parliament Square. He began to sway while guards were changing positions, before passing out.
2 other officers rushed to his aid, followed by medics -- he was carried away on a stretcher. His condition is currently unknown.
As we reported, one of the Royal guards took a rough fall at Westminster Hall last week ... landing face-first on the ground while standing guard at the foot of the casket.
He wasn't the only one losing consciousness Wednesday -- 41-year-old Lady Gabriella Windsor, the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, collapsed earlier in the service.
Her husband, Thomas Kingston, rushed to her aid ... she reportedly regained consciousness but was missing from the rest of the event.

JUSTIN & HAILEY BIEBER Gated Home Violated by Trespasser

Justin and Hailey Bieber's home had an unwanted visitor ... the security team spotted a guy who broke into the backyard and it ended in a mad foot chase.
LAPD sources tell TMZ ... cops were called to the couple's home in an exclusive gated Los Angeles community last Saturday ... after Justin's security said they saw a guy in the backyard, hanging out by the couple's BBQ.
We're told when security approached the man, he took off running ... jumping over one of the walls and into the neighborhood. Security gave chase but the guy disappeared.
Justin and Hailey were not home ... they were away on vacation.
Once police arrived, they searched the area, but came up empty-handed.
It's unclear how the guy got into the gated community, but it's not the first time this has happened. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill previously had their home burglarized and Lisa Vanderpump's car was stolen a few years back.
This also is not the first time Justin has had to deal with unwanted visitors either. He's had some really disturbing run-ins in the past with folks showing up to his property ... like the time a lady got into his hotel room.
Thing is ... gated communities are expensive, but not foolproof.

Brooklyn Pastor Manhandles Woman During Service ... On Video, Cops Respond

6:34 AM PT -- 9/19 -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the woman was charged with trespassing and disrupting a service or funeral, both misdemeanors, and the pastor was released with no charges.
A Brooklyn pastor was caught on video manhandling a woman during his Sunday service -- and while cops certainly responded to the scene ... it doesn't appear he's been arrested yet.
The guy's name is Bishop Lamor Whitehead, and he heads up the local chapter of the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in the Canarsie neighborhood of B-Town ... where things got handsy this weekend as he was delivering a live streamed sermon.
It's unclear what exactly precipitated this, but NYPD sources tell us ... there was an argument over somebody filming Whitehead/the service, and it boiled over with an alleged physical confrontation. That jibes with a YouTube video that captured the entire sequence.
Bishop Whitehead appears to get interrupted by someone out in the pulpit who's shouting, and he tells the congregation to let her record ... which escalates into him inviting her up.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He asks the woman if she wants to come up and deliver the word for him, and then starts telling the visitors to praise Jesus while speaking in tongues. When the woman finally does reach the altar, he grabs her by the head and appears to shove her out of frame.
Whitehead tells somebody to get her out of here, and says he felt threatened ... seemingly as justification for what he did. He then continues the service normally like nothing happened.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Now, cops responded, but we've learned Whitehead has yet to be booked or processed for this ... and at this point, it's unclear if he's going to be. Our law enforcement sources say if he hasn't been busted by now this late in the day, it's unlikely he'll get rung up, period.
What our sources tell us did happen, however, was that Whitehead and the alleged victim were brought to a precinct for further investigation. But, nothing appears to have come out of it from either end, at least for now. BTW, this is the same guy who was robbed mid-sermon earlier this summer ... which was also captured through his church's live stream feed.
Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.
Whitehead has responded ... claiming this woman, and apparently others, were sent in today to disrupt his service -- supposedly tied to litigation he's involved in. He claims the woman was actually threatening and beginning to charge his wife and baby daughter. He says he did what he had to do to keep them out of harm's way, and that he's got more video that'll show the full story. Whitehead insists he's pro-woman, and that the narrative's being twisted.

'90 DAY FIANCE' ANDREW KENTON Unloads Ex's Engagement Ring ... But I Only Got $2,000!!!

Exclusive
- 212 shares
"90 Day Fiancé" star Andrew Kenton finally closed the chapter with his ex-fiancée and sold her engagement ring ... but it seems like he may have fumbled the bag in the process.
Andrew tells TMZ he had the ring on the market for 10 days before he found a buyer on eBay ... who forked over $2,250 for the diamond ring set in gold. He wishes the new owner nothing but happy moments with the bling, and he's happy to finally close that chapter of his life.
However, it seems like Andrew took a huge loss, because he apparently got the ring appraised for $7,300 back in 2019.
He ended up getting 24 bids for the ring, but it's unclear if any of them are fans of the hit show that led to him getting the piece in the first place.
As we've reported, Andrew listed the engagement ring he gave his (now) ex-fiancée Amira Lollysa, on the TLC show, telling us it was a sad reminder of their past.
As for the ring... the Neil Lane design is a princess-cut emerald, sitting atop a crown of diamonds and set in 14k white gold.
Andrew appeared on season 8 of the series after meeting Amira, who's from France, online. They wound up getting engaged in 2018 but called the whole thing off on the season finale.
When they broke up, he claims he asked for the ring back, and Amira demanded nearly $300 in Kim Kardashian makeup to give it up.
Now it's off both their hands.

Michael Jordan NBA Debut Ticket Stubs Hit Auction ... Could Fetch $300K!!!

Exclusive Details
- 1.2K shares
A pair of tickets that were once used by fans to go see Michael Jordan's NBA debut game have just hit the auction block ... and they're so rare, experts say they could sell for six figures!!
The tickets were redeemed way back on Oct. 26, 1984 -- when Jordan made his first appearance for the Chicago Bulls -- and somehow, they were kept intact for decades.
Which, of course, turned out to be a smart move by the owners, because they're now worth a small fortune!!
Officials at Bonhams, which is hosting the auction, anticipate they'll go for between $200K and $300K.
On one of the tickets, the words "Michael Jordan's first game" are inscribed on the front. On the other ticket, "Michael Jordan's first game" is written on the back.
One of the tickets also features a signature of former NBA player Dallas Comegys, who signed the fan's ticket while attending the game that night.
Jordan memorabilia has exploded in price since ESPN aired its "The Last Dance" documentary in 2020 -- and a similar ticket to this pair actually sold for a staggering $468,000 earlier this year.
Bidding on the pieces begins on Monday and closes on Sept. 29. Good luck!

Brad Pitt Artwork on Display at Finland Gallery Han Solo Would be Proud!!!
Brad Pitt isn't just a stud in the film world -- the dude's doing big things in the art space too ... putting his latest works on display in a land far, far away.
The actor/producer apparently submitted a number of pieces he created for a gallery exhibition over in Tampere, Finland. The event was held at a well-known museum, and it was dubbed "Thomas Houseago's WE with Nick Cave & Brad Pitt."
It appears Brad had 9 different items to show ... ranging from large creations (like the bronze encasing, a la Han Solo's carbon freeze) to smaller ones -- such as the trapped bullets he crystalized in platinum silicon and the modest house miniature he made out of tree bark.

The photos of Brad's artwork were captured by artist/designer DeBranne Treu, who says her hubby's pals with Brad. She had nothing but praise for BP, writing ... "To say his work is great is an understatement as he is a true artist creating out of extreme passion and drive. The dedication to his craft is humbling and inspiring."
There are titles attached to some of Brad's works of art, and they're interesting. A lot of the blocks of bullets seem to go by variations of this ... "Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound to the House," plus another that reads, "Aiming At You I Saw Me But It Was Too Late This Time."
Other titles for his art include "Buried Needs," "Slave to Our Vices," "House-A-Go-Go" and "Candle Holders for Loved Ones." BP himself wasn't there in person for the showing.
Pretty impressive stuff, nonetheless. 🧐

President Biden & FLOTUS Pay Respects at Queen's Coffin ... Ahead of State Funeral
President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have touched down in the U.K. ahead of Queen Elizabeth's funeral -- but before that, they paid their respects while she lies in state.
POTUS/FLOTUS arrived in England this weekend, and were promptly met by Buckingham Palace officials as they prepared to swing by Westminster Hall to see QE2's coffin for the final day before her funeral service gets underway on Monday.
The Bidens were dressed in black, and when they were finally taken to see the Queen's temporary resting place itself ... they had their own private bird's-eye view from an elevated balcony area above the general visiting area -- with Secret Service standing at the ready.
JB looked on as others continued to pour in to see the casket ... and at one point he put his hand over heart, with minimal talking. They were pretty much just taking in the scene.
Eventually, Joe and Jill were taken to the Lancaster House in London -- where they signed a book of condolence that's been created to honor Her Majesty. The Prez was seated, with the First Lady standing behind him ... and after writing in his entry, Joe addressed the media.
He had some poignant words to remember the Queen, saying she was all about service ... and her lasting legacy (to him) is that people can make their communities better, even in the smallest of ways.
'To all the people of the United Kingdom our hearts go out to you.'

Ezra Miller Exposé Details Alleged Troubling Behavior ... Surrounding 2022 Arrests
Ezra Miller allegedly thought of themselves as a Jesus figure -- and apparently ran with a posse of misfits while also retaining an arsenal fit for a small war ... this per a new bombshell exposé detailing what was going on surrounding their 2022 arrests.
Vanity Fair has a new piece out titled, "Ezra Miller's 'Messiah' Delusions: Inside The Flash Star's Dark Spiral" -- and it's as juicy and drama-filled as the headline suggests.
New: Ezra Miller’s arrest earlier this year was just one turn in a troubling downward spiral. For the last two years, the actor has been endangering not just their career but also their safety—and allegedly that of others—in increasingly plain sight. https://t.co/9TXFdCQWoN
— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) September 18, 2022 @VanityFair
The story is bonkers ... claiming, through several unidentified sources who were purportedly in Ezra's inner circle these few years, that Ezra essentially ran a harem/convent of sorts at his Vermont ranch ... where they apparently have multiple firearms and other weapons.
People cited in the lengthy article describe bizarre rituals that Ezra would allegedly host -- touting themselves as a real-life superhero, akin to his fictional character of the Flash, and supposedly even had an altar at their home where they'd host sermons and burn sage.
One wild anecdote says Ezra went ballistic during one of these meetings, demanding that Susan Sarandon come to pay tribute at the altar for snubbing them from a dinner party.
The piece also describes Ezra as becoming more and more erratic as the pandemic was getting underway -- evidenced in the video of them apparently choking a woman in Iceland -- and completely spiraling in 2022 when they went to Hawaii with a young activist ... whose parents have alleged Ezra was controlling via insidious tactics, which the kid has denied.
VF's story details all sorts of out-there tales about things Ezra has allegedly done over the past few years -- outside of their legal issues, which are well-documented -- including wandering the streets in search of downtrodden young people to rope into their way of life, arming themselves to the teeth/having weapons sprawled out everywhere, tormenting those closest to them via diatribes/firings/scoldings and more. It's a disturbing deep dive, for sure.
Another fascinating aspect ... the notion that people close to Ezra say they question whether they're legitimately queer or not -- it's known Ezra publicly identifies as non-binary -- and even suggest they weaponize their identity when it suits them ... but seemingly not minding being misgendered in private when they're in a state of calm, behind closed doors.
BTW, speaking of Ezra's legal troubles -- Vanity Fair reports that a majority of those cases have virtually dissipated ... suggesting Ezra and/or their team have paid off most of their alleged victims, citing at least one NDA they viewed and others they've heard about.
Of course, the backdrop of all this is Ezra's movie, 'The Flash,' which they are apparently very interested in salvaging ... as is Warner Bros. Ezra has since said they're seeking treatment for mental health issues, and they apologized for their erratic behavior of late.
At this point, it sounds like Warner has decided to plow ahead with the release of this film in 2023 -- despite all the problems that have arisen ... which this story crystalizes quite well.
Time will tell if the gamble pays off ... supposedly, screenings of 'The Flash' have tested well with audiences -- so it'll be interesting to see if folks flock to see it regardless of the drama.

'Wheel of Fortune' Pat Sajak Ripped for Photo with MTG ... Old Tweets Resurface
7:37 AM PT -- 9/19 -- The other man in the photo, Brian Glenn, tells TMZ the picture was taken about 3 weeks ago at a Beverly Hills restaurant. Glenn says Pat was sitting at a table next to Brian and MTG, and agreed to a photo.
Pat Sajak posing for a photo with Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting double takes on the internet -- especially after old tweets of his have resurfaced that are raising eyebrows.
The "Wheel of Fortune" host stood shoulder to shoulder with the Georgia congresswoman and Right Side Broadcasting Network reporter Brian Glenn in a photo that popped up out of nowhere Saturday. There's no context on where or when it was shot, but people don't care.

The fact he's there with them at all -- especially Rep. Greene, smiling from ear to ear -- is enough for folks to be ripping him on Twitter ... which they absolutely are.
The reactions are brutal ... people are saying that Pat's showing his true colors here, and some are even vowing to boycott his iconic game show because of this. One person jokingly said Pat was pictured here with Vanna Whitesupremacist -- a reference to ... well, you get it.

Others are noting that Pat's actually expressed his conservative views in the past ... pointing to since-deleted tweets that are being attributed to him from years ago.
While a good amount of Twitter users seem genuinely shocked by this ... others say this is old news, as it's apparently been known where PS leans politically. Still, the fact he's yukking it up with these two, specifically, is a brand of conservativism that give many pause.

August Alsina Claims Tory Lanez Beat Him Up ... Shows Bloodied Photo
August Alsina claims Tory Lanez and a bunch of goons rolled up on him and attacked -- showing off a photo of himself as proof ... although, Tory's calling BS.
The singer took to IG Sunday with a pic that shows himself leaning up against an elevator wall with blood running down his mouth and appearing dazed. According to August, it's evidence that he was beaten up on Saturday ... by who he claims was none other than Tory.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The way things allegedly went ... August claims Tory and a bunch of his security guards approached him as he was leaving a show, encircling him and pressing him. August says Tory wanted to know why he hadn't dapped him up in the past.
August says it all had to do with Tory taking shots at him a couple years back when he spoke on his situation with Jada Pinkett Smith -- so he figured TL simply didn't like him, and didn't feel it necessary to pretend they were on friendly terms.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Then, according to AA, Tory sucker punched him as August was trying to get himself out of the situation ... this after he claims the dude took a hit from a blunt and got all hyped up. August insists it wasn't a fight, but simply an assault -- and that Tory and co. scrammed.
He also alleges Tory's crew got the whole thing on camera, asking they release the footage. August says he posted this because he'd seen/heard Tory running his mouths to blogs ... and wants to get the true story out there. For his part, Tory's saying the whole thing's a lie.
He says he was in the studio all night, denying he was involved in anything like what August is describing. We've reached out to Chicago PD to see if a police report was filed.

The singer says that during the acoustic part of his show, there's an area on the stage that opens up to lower instruments ... something he apparently forgot about as he was walking around and fell right through it. As he puts it, he busted his own ass.
PM apologizes for the show having to be cut short, and says he'll make it up to St. Louis later. He also says he's doing okay after a hospital visit, and that the tour will continue.
Post Malone took a super nasty fall onstage ... it was so bad, medics had to help him off and the fans didn't know whether to wait it out or pack it in.
It happened Saturday night in St. Louis at the Enterprise Center halfway through the concert, where he was performing "Circles."
Post was showin' his stuff as he walked down a ramp that extended onto the floor of the arena. It would've gone fine, but there was a hole in the floor that he used to lower his guitar and it hadn't been covered up.
Post Malone made a few more die hard fans when he fell through a hole in the stage cracking 3 ribs. Fans said he came back out on stage after 10 minutes saying he was sorry & hurting so bad he was crying, then someone gave him a beer and he finished the concert.#PostMalone pic.twitter.com/eFZBn8TffU

He stepped in it and took an awful fall ... sprawled out on the concert floor. An eyewitness tells TMZ one of his legs was shaking uncontrollably. Medics rushed in and eventually flanked him as he left the stage.
He asked fans to give him a few minutes to collect himself, but clearly, everyone was concerned and some doubtful he'd even return.

15 minutes later, Post resurfaced and performed "Rockstar" and "Cooped Up." "Rockstar" fits because Post was determined to continue even though he clearly was in pain ... clutching his ribs as he sang.
Post thanked the crowd for hangin' in there and told them there was a "big-ass hole in the stage" and even apologized -- not necessary. He finished out the show and even stayed after to sign a few autographs.
No word on his condition ... but he's scheduled to continue his "Twelve Carat Tour" in Columbus Sunday.

The Miami Hard Rock Stadium concert was the final show in The Chromatica Ball Tour.
Gaga lost it as she apologized to her IG fans ... saying in part, "I've always wanted to be like that hardcore, bad bitch, but what I really want is to also be responsible and loving and I don't know what I would do if anything happened to anybody in the audience or to any member of my crew, my band, my dancers."

This pic was taken during her last days, before meeting Prime Minister Liz Truss -- her 15th btw.
The pic was taken at Balmoral, reportedly 48 hours before meeting the new P.M. She was clearly ill, and her aides reportedly suggested that maybe Prince Charles should greet the new Prime Minister, but the Queen wasn't having it. She performed the ceremonial duties herself.
Folks from all around the world have been waiting in lines that are so long it takes 24 hours to reach the casket, but waiting they are.
The funeral will take place Monday, and more than a billion people are expected to watch.

Ludacris' Manager Chaka Zulu Arrested for Murder ... Claims Self-Defense
Ludacris' manager Chaka Zulu has been booked for murder after a fatal triple shooting in Atlanta ... but he has maintained since the incident it was justified.
Zulu turned himself in earlier this week at the Fulton County Jail. In addition to the murder charge, he was booked for aggravated assault, simple battery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Zulu says he used self-defense after being confronted by several guys outside a restaurant back in June. He claims they became aggressive, shoving him to the ground and then pummeling him with their fists and feet.
He says one of the assailants then shot him in the chest and he reacted by pulling out a gun and fatally shooting him. He was critically wounded at the time, but has recovered. At least one other man was shot during the incident.
It seems the cops aren't buying his story. He was released on $200,000 bail.
