American Airlines Passenger Gets Pissy with Fellow Flyer ... Urine Big Trouble Now!!!

Things got all pissy on an American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi Sunday .. after a passenger urinated on a fellow flyer.

The passenger unsurprisingly was drunk, according to New Delhi TV, and was promptly arrested when the plane landed at its destination.

And here's the thing ... it's become a thing! There have been at least 2 other incidents in the last few months where a passenger peed on a fellow flyer on flights from New York to New Delhi.

The airline spared all the details, saying, "American Airlines flight 292 with service from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) was met by local law enforcement upon arrival in DEL due to a disruption on board."

SOUTHWEST SCREAM-OFF

Although pissing on a plane is newsworthy, it still doesn't hold a candle to last week's Southwest flight, when a passenger threw a hilarious tantrum over a crying baby!

As for the latest incident ... prosecutors may soon be doing a urine analysis.

Glen Powell GF Unfollows Sydney Sweeney ... As Costars Fuel Dating Rumors

Glen Powell's girlfriend seemingly isn't here for her boo getting any closer with his costar Sydney Sweeney ... because she did a social media detox of Sydney amid rumors she and Glen called it quits.

Glen's gf, Gigi Paris, unfollowed the "Euphoria" star on Instagram just as Sydney and Glen are stirring buzz their relationship is more than a work thing. Paris also posted breakup music on her IG stories, further fueling the notion she and Glen are dunzo.

Folks online have been speculating that Syd and Glen are a secret item -- or not-so-secret, depending on how you look at it. They both appeared at CinemaCon Monday night in Vegas ... and fans think the looks they're giving each other are super telling.

As you know, they had a blast shooting their new rom-com, "Anyone But You," in Australia... and a seriously cozy clip of the two, had fans going nuts -- one where Glen playfully dips Sydney while chilling on the couch.

Just to complicate things even more ... Sydney's supposedly still with restaurant owner Jonathan Davino, with whom she got engaged last year.

For what it's worth, Gigi showed some support for Sydney when she was initially cast alongside Glen ... but it looks like she's singin' a different tune now.

Rick Ross to Don Lemon We're Hiring at Wing Stop, Bro ... From Anchor to Fry Cook?!?

042523-rick-ross-kal
Greetings from the (new) boss!

Don Lemon has a new job option if he wants it -- and it would entail him dipping poultry into boiling hot cooking oil ... under the supervision of one of Rick Ross's managers, no less.

The rapper hopped on the 'Gram Monday to air his thoughts on the news of DL's unceremonious firing from CNN ... and he was more than ready to dance on the guy's grave a bit, 'cause he offered him a new gig at one of his many Wing Stop franchises.

Rozay says he can personally make sure Don gets an interview in front of his top chicken team members. The only thing he's asking the ex-anchor to do ... send a resume. Sounds like Rick's sold on Don's potential ability to hawk a certain flavor of pollo -- take a guess.

He's obviously trolling here ... but that's not the end of his ribbing. Rick goes on to suggest Don can be the face (or name, more like) of a new flavor of his energy drink line -- Rap Star.

DON'S LAST SHOW
CNN

Again, he leans into Don's surname a lot to make this joke work ... and yeah, it lands.

While Rick is kidding in his pitch to Don ... we know there's a very real news network he could work for if he's inclined. As we reported, NewsNation execs are interested in bringing him onto the team -- not to mention the recently discarded Tucker Carlson from FOX News.

Tough choice, we know ... minimum wage or a few milli??? Decisions, decisions. 😅

Morgan Wallen Fan Sues Over Canceled Concert ... Then Takes It Back!!!

UPDATE

12:26 PM PT -- The would-be-concertgoer has filed to dismiss her lawsuit against Morgan Wallen. However, she's dismissing it without prejudice ... which means, it can be refiled. No word yet on why she's had a change of heart.

Morgan Wallen is having some legal headaches after canceling his concert in Mississippi ... 'cause he just got sued by an angry fan!!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Brandi Burcham filed the federal lawsuit Monday against the country music star, accusing Wallen of breach of contract and negligence.

In the suit, Burcham says Wallen skipped out on his Sunday performance at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, after he claimed he lost his voice minutes before he was to take the stage.

Burcham says that after Wallen made the announcement on Instagram, the large screens around the stadium displayed messages, promising the audience would receive full ticket refunds.

But, Burcham pointed out that the University of Mississippi -- which hosted the sold-out event -- has yet to reimburse ticketholders.

She also says the guaranteed refunds do not take into account concertgoers' "out of pocket expenses," such as food, lodging, transportation and other fees.

Not only that ... Burcham wants to make the suit a class action so she can incorporate other fans impacted by Wallen canceling his show as part of his "One Night at a Time Global Tour."

If the judge certifies the class action, Burcham will likely get others to join the suit. Right after the concert was nixed, video showed many adults upset as they left the venue with their children crying.

Bam Margera Failed Intervention After Intoxication Arrest

Bam Margera's friends are trying to get him help as his alarming behavior continues, but an attempted intervention on his behalf didn't take ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Bam tell us ... a couple of Bam's longtime friends organized the intervention earlier this month, while he was in San Diego, on the heels of his L.A.-area arrest for public intoxication.

Our sources say Bam's buddies told him they loved him and were worried about him and wanted to help get him back into rehab.

We're told Bam seemed receptive at first, but ultimately a couple of factors blew the whole thing up.

For starters, our sources say Bam's current girlfriend was not receptive to the idea, and didn't want him to leave for treatment, because she would have nowhere to live if he went to rehab.

What's more, we're told Bam's estranged wife Nikki was called during the intervention and made it clear she was willing to let him back into her and their son Phoenix's life, contingent on Bam getting sober. Our sources say this upset the girlfriend, and she kicked everyone out.

The failed intervention went down shortly after we obtained video of Bam screaming at Nikki as she ate with Phoenix in a Burbank restaurant ... an outburst that came minutes before Bam was busted for public intoxication.

The former 'Jackass' star -- who has been in and out of rehab for years due to addiction and substance abuse issues -- is in more legal trouble, this time on the other side of the country.

Joe Biden Running for President ... Harris by His Side

042523-joe-biden-kal
RUN IT BACK

President Joe Biden is ready to do it all again and run for reelection -- with VP Kamala Harris right at his side.

Biden made the big announcement in a slick 3-plus minute campaign video released Tuesday morning, prominently featuring the incumbent democrats and putting to rest speculation that Harris would be replaced on the ticket. The announcement also foreshadowed a possible rematch between Biden and former president and top Republican candidate Donald Trump, who lost to Biden in the 2020 election.

In the video, Biden and Harris are seen together at the White House and on the campaign trail, warmly greeting and chatting with people. Biden's voice plays over the footage as he explains that Americans continue to be in a battle for the soul of the country.

In the years ahead, Biden says pivotal questions still remain about whether Americans will have more or less freedoms and individual rights. He ends his speech with this, "That's why I'm running for reelection."

Although Biden's announcement came as no surprise -- he'd been hinting at it for months -- the 46th President has been dogged by criticism of his heightened age and mental and physical fitness. If he were to win reelection, Biden would be 82 at the start of his second term.

A recent NBC news poll showed that 70 percent of Americans and more than half of Democrats would like to see someone other than Biden on the ticket, citing his age. But, the poll also revealed that a whopping 88% of Democrats would definitely or probably vote for Biden against his opponent in the general election.

Minor League Baseball Players, Coaches Throw Punches ... Wild In-Game Brawl

Forget punch-outs at the plate ... a pair of minor league baseball teams were trying to punch out each other's faces during a game over the weekend -- mixing it up in a wild brawl on the diamond.

The hectic scene went down Sunday at the Clearwater Threshers vs. the Tampa Tarpons tilt at George Steinbrenner Field in Florida ... when the two teams, affiliates of the Phillies and Yankees, quarreled following a hit by pitch.

After Threshers shortstop Erick Brito was plunked by Tampa righty Alex Bustamante in the third inning -- chirping from the Clearwater dugout began immediately ... and it got so loud, it led to an ejection.

Pissed off Threshers players and coaches were so ticked by the call ... it caused benches to clear -- and then, all hell broke loose.

As coaches from both Single-A teams met at the dish to air out their qualms -- punches flew ... and some connected flush. Players then got involved -- and it all morphed into a WWE-style brawl.

Eventually, though, cooler heads prevailed ... but not before several more ejections were made.

The game ultimately went on despite the rumble -- and Clearwater pulled out the win in a laugher, 12-3.

Taylor Swift GoFundMe For Fan Picks Up Steam ... Killed By Suspected Drunk Driver After Concert

Taylor Swift fans are rallying for one of their own, flocking to a GoFundMe page set up for a fellow Swiftie who was killed by a drunk driver after her Houston concert ... and it's garnering a ton of cash in just over 24 hours.

20-year-old Jacob Lewis and his sister April were leaving Taylor's Eras Tour concert early Saturday morning when their car broke down on a highway. As Jacob got out to push the vehicle, he was struck by 34-year-old Alan Bryant Hayes.

Jacob died at the scene, and a GoFundMe was started to help his family cover funeral expenses ... and it blew past the $60K goal in a little over a day -- with Swifties seemingly providing a good portion of that total.

Many TS fans chose to donate $13 each -- Taylor's lucky number. A lot of the comments on the fundraiser are references to the singer's music, too ... like "Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you… Long live, Jacob."

FYI, Hayes allegedly fled the scene after getting out to help April pull Jacob out from under his tire. A heroic tow truck driver reportedly followed Hayes as he drove off, and it resulted in a foot pursuit by cops before he was taken into custody.

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee Massive Coachella Brawl Backstage In Presence of Infant Son!!!

FIGHTING WITH SECURITY
TMZ.com

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee's gotta be feeling pretty lucky ... an all-out royal rumble went down with security ahead of his Coachella performance, but he and his baby managed to dodge the blows.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Swae and his entourage attempting to enter the festival grounds at a security checkpoint behind the stage ... but their path was slowed by several security workers, and that's when things got physical.

You can see Swae actually get knocked back against some fencing as all hell breaks loose ... security guards swarm in like piranhas, pummeling another man in Swae's camp. All the while, one of Swae's guards makes sure his baby -- in a big car seat -- is safe.

Management for Swae tells us ... “As Swae Lee attempted to enter the festival with his newborn son and working crew, overzealous security guards confronted them. As 1/2 of Rae Sremmurd, he was due to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage at 5:55 PM. Security claimed not to recognize the talent and then aggressively initiated contact as they attempted to make their way to the stage."

They continue, "The security guards, which we presume are independent contractors, are seen clearly being the aggressors and then throwing gang signs at end of the video in a celebration."

Swae's team says his own security did a bang-up job protecting him, and more importantly, his baby boy. When the dust settled, Swae and his bro Slim Jxmmi got onstage as scheduled to rock the crowd.

Aaron Hernandez's Brother Cuts Deal W/ Prosecutors ... Closes Out Reckless Driving Case

Aaron Hernandez's brother, D.J. Hernandez, has just put one of his most recent legal troubles in the rearview mirror ... TMZ Sports has learned he cut a deal with prosecutors Monday to close out his reckless driving case.

A Connecticut court official tells us ... D.J. pled guilty to one count of failure to drive in a proper lane and one count of failure to use traffic control signals. In exchange, prosecutors dropped the other charges against him -- which included reckless driving and engaging police in pursuit.

The court official said D.J. was ordered to pay $100 in fines ... and the matter is now considered closed. We reached out to D.J. for comment, but he declined.

We broke the story ... the 36-year-old was initially hit with the charges in late March after he had been involved in what police said was a wild car chase through Connecticut roadways on March 8.

According to cops, officers attempted to pull over D.J. for a routine traffic stop -- but he allegedly bolted, shaking cops as he traveled at a high rate of speed.

He was eventually stopped and put in custody following a brief foot chase, cops said. Officers wrote in police documents that D.J. told them he had been driving around the state in an effort to get arrested because "he no longer wanted to stay at his mom's house."

Cops said in the docs they believed he was having a bipolar episode.

Just days later, on March 23, D.J. found himself in more legal trouble ... after authorities accused him of throwing a large brick at ESPN's campus in Bristol.

He was hit with a misdemeanor charge over the allegations. That case, court records show, remains ongoing.

Singer James Blunt 'Memba Him?!

British singer James Blunt was 31 years old when his song "You're Beautiful" propelled him to stardom back in 2005. The catchy song became his breakout hit, peaking at #1 on the Billboard chart for a week ... quite the accomplishment, especially back in the early 2000s.

Aside from the "You're Beautiful" music video racking up nearly 700 million views, Blunt continued making music with albums like "All The Lost Souls" and "Some Kind Of Trouble."

The talented singer is still making tunes, and just this month he dropped the song "Can't Forget You", collaborating with the band Ofenbach.

"You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true!"

Guess what he looks like now!

Ye & Bianca Censori Sundae Funday at Cheesecake Factory

COZY CHEESECAKE

Kanye West and his wife don't seem to be missing a beat with each other, and their latest QT came in the form of a Sunday date in a not-so-fancy spot.

Ye and and Bianca Censori hit up a Cheesecake Factory Sunday inside L.A.'s Topanga Westfield Mall. When it came time for dessert, they passed on the obvious choice -- cheesecake -- and, instead, opted for one bowl, 2 spoons.

The couple shared a big ol' ice cream sundae as they sat in a booth at the popular eatery -- sitting side-by-side like a couple a high school kids.

Despite the delicious dessert choice, it's not clear just how much fun they packed into Sunday funday.

They weren't exactly grinning from ear-to-ear, but, then again, they rarely do ... in public, anyway.

Of course, they were far more conspicuous the last time we saw them out. They hit up designer Jerry Lorenzo's Fear of God show at the Hollywood Bowl last week ... both fully covered in Ye's trademark full-head masks.

Coachella Curfew Fines Cut in Half ... Lesson Learned Weekend 2

The people who organize Coachella figured out how to work with those late night noise rules -- 'cause the fines they're paying for running long are about half of last week's.

A rep for the City of Indio tells TMZ ... Goldenvoice was fined $51,000 for curfew violations racked up during Weekend 2. That might sound like a lot, but pales in comparison to the $117k they shelled out last week for the lengthy final sets that crept into the wee hours of the morning.

Here's the breakdown ... we're told Friday night's festivities went 2 minutes past the 1 AM curfew -- amounting to a $20,000 fine. Saturday, which also had a 1 AM curfew in place, didn't go over the line at all ... so no ding there. Sunday, however, went well past the slightly earlier 12 AM curfew ... at 16 minutes, and costing Goldenvoice $31k.

You'll recall -- the contract festival organizers have with the City calls for a daily fine of $20k for the first 5 minutes past curfew, with another $1,000 added for every minute thereafter.

Like we said ... $51k is nothing to sneeze at, but considering they got the fines down a significant amount compared to Weekend 1 ($66,000 in savings) -- it's not half bad.

The lineup changed a bit this week ... including the notable replacement of Frank Ocean, who had to bow out after injuring himself. Blink-182 stepped in to handle main stage duties at 9:20 PM, and then Skrillex and other EDM DJs filled the void later at 10:25 PM.

Seems the swap worked out for everyone ... and kept things on schedule.
