The country music star's baby mama, KT Smith, says her Great Pyrenees bit the two-year-old child she shares with Morgan, and the kid needed stitches.

Morgan's ex says the dog, Legend, is a rescue ... and she doesn't want to put the dog down, as some are suggesting.

KT, who lives in the Nashville area, says she is instead looking to rehome Legend with a family that has a lot of land and no small children.

The dog-biting incident happened Sunday and KT says her pup had never shown aggression before. Still, she says she just can't keep the dog in the house knowing her and Morgan's son may be traumatized.

As for Morgan's kid, Indigo's mom says he will be OK ... though he may come out of this with a scar.

IMAGINE DRAGONS' DAN REYNOLDS Sings For Teen Beating Cancer ... I'm So Proud of You!!!

Dan Reynolds girl
SWEET SERENADE
Leslie Suder

"Imagine Dragons" frontman Dan Reynolds will do whatever it takes to show love to people who are battling cancer ... even if that means an impromptu performance of one of his band's biggest hits.

Dan was at a comedy show over the weekend in Hollywood with his girlfriend, Minka Kelly, when he serenaded 16-year-old cancer survivor Zoe Suder with a special tune ... and TMZ has it all on video.

Zoe's mom, Leslie, tells us her family was celebrating Zoe finishing 8 months of chemotherapy for stage 4 metastatic bone cancer -- they rented out a lounge area Friday night at the Bourbon Room on Hollywood Blvd.

During his set, comedian Anthony Jeselnik shouted out Zoe, and when Dan caught wind of their celebration ... he went over to her group and sang "Whatever It Takes."

As you can see, Dan shocked Zoe when he came over, said he was super proud of her ... and shared how he's lost friends and family to cancer.

Dan helped launch the Tyler Robinson Foundation after the Imagine Dragons super-fan passed away at 16 from a rare form of cancer. The foundation helps families who have children fighting cancer.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Zoe's got a pretty inspiring story ... she was diagnosed when she was 15, but she's beating the disease and fighting hard to get back to playing soccer, following her dream to one day play in college.

Great stuff, Dan.

NFL Star Maxx Crosby Massive Torso Tat ... Homages To Kobe, Ali & Jordan!!!

NFL star Maxx Crosby just got a permanent reminder to chase greatness daily ... getting pictures of Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Kobe Bryant tattooed all over his torso!!

The Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher got the work done last week ... hitting up Andres Ortega at Onder Ink for the massive piece, and check out the images of the artwork -- it came out awesome.

Just above his right hip, Crosby got a shot of Jordan in the middle of a free-throw stroke. To the left of that, the football player had an iconic snap of Ali put down. And, just above his left hip, Crosby also got a photo of Kobe mid-celebration inked too.

ALL THE GREATS
Ortega Ink

Ortega tells the reasoning for the trio of tats was simple ... Crosby wanted to make sure he always keeps his focus on his journey to being one of the best ever -- hence why he also got the words "Be Legendary" put near his rib cage as well.

The homages to the sports icons, though, were far from the only tats he got ... Ortega also put a sweet tribute to Crosby's baby daughter on his chest, before rounding out the nod to the newborn with diamonds and a rose.

In total, Ortega says it took about 11 hours to complete.

The 25-year-old Crosby, who had his jersey No. 98 and his Texas home state's abbreviation added to the piece as well, clearly loved the work ... showing it off in a shirtless Father's Day snap on Sunday.

Australian Actress Holly Valance 'Memba Her?!

Australian native and former actress Holly Valance had a successful career that took off in her late teens - early 20s with her TV roles, Felicity Scully on the soap opera "Neighbours" and Nika Volek in "Prison Break."

Some of her notable movies include playing the pop star in "Taken" alongside Liam Neeson ... She landed starring roles in "DOA: Dead or Alive" with Devon Aoki and Paris Hilton's comedy film "National Lampoon's Pledge This!" with Paula Garcés.

In 2013, Holly stepped away from her acting career to focus on her family and charity work.

Guess what she looks like now!

Amanda Bynes PLACED ON PSYCHIATRIC HOLD ... After LAPD Detainment

Amanda Bynes is a danger to herself and others, according to police officers who detained her over the weekend ... which means she's back on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Our law enforcement sources tell us Amanda is the one who called LAPD Saturday morning to report a woman in distress.

TMZ broke the story ... Amanda was intercepted by LAPD officers and taken to a police station for a medical evaluation to determine if she needed further treatment.

As it turns out, it was determined Amanda needed to be brought in on a mandatory psychiatric hold -- she can be held for up to 72 hours, by law.

It's the latest stumble in the former Nickelodeon star's downward spiral ... and it's the second time this year she's been placed on a psych hold. The first instance happened in March, when she was found naked, roaming the streets of downtown Los Angeles.

Amanda was released from a mental health facility only 2 months ago, but we had heard from people close to her that she was isolated and not doing so well.

Now, she at least has an opportunity to get treatment.

Julian Sands SoCal Authorities Continue Search Months After Disappearance Hiking Mt. Baldy

The search for actor Julian Sands continued this weekend -- after he disappeared on a hiking trip back in January -- and the results were tragically familiar, with no signs.

The San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept. says they went out once again Saturday with a rescue team of about 80 volunteers -- including civilians and workers ... all in hopes of finding any sign of the British actor. Unfortunately, the agency says they came up empty-handed

AIR SUPPORT
Twitter / @sbcountysheriff

SBSD says they used two helicopters and even drones to scour the Mt. Baldy region -- where Sands was hiking at the time. Ground crews were deployed as well ... but there was some tech used to reach inaccessible sections.

While it's now June -- when all the snow would presumably be gone -- the Sheriff's Dept. notes there are still portions of the mountain that are buried in powder and ice ... not to mention being surrounded by steep terrain and ravines that make it difficult to navigate.

The Sheriff's Dept. goes on to say they've conducted 8 separate searches -- consisting of both ground and air tactics -- and that their volunteer hours have crept up toward 500.

Despite not having found him yet ... SBSD says Sands' missing person's case remains open and active -- but those search efforts will continue in a limited capacity going forward.

Some members of Sands' family have said they've already said their goodbyes.

Sands is best known for movies he did in the '80s and '90s -- including 'Warlock,' 'A Room with a View,' 'Arachnophobia,' 'Boxing Helena,' 'Naked Lunch,' 'Gothic' and many others.

John Amos Declines $$$ From Kid's Fundraiser ... GoFundMe Shut Down

"Good Times" star and "America's Dad" John Amos doesn't want any of the money his daughter crowdfunded on his behalf ... and now her GoFundMe has been taken down.

John's daughter, Shannon Amos, had been seeking donations for medical bills and attorney fees in the name of her famous father, who she claims is fighting for his life in a hospital after falling victim to elder abuse and possible financial crimes ... all of which John has called total BS.

As we reported, Shannon started a GoFundMe with a $500,000 goal earlier this month, but it's now been wiped from the internet ... and a spokesperson for GoFundMe tells us it's because John declined the funds.

A rep for GoFundMe tells TMZ ... "Ensuring that donors’ intentions are honored is our top priority. However, upon being informed that Mr. Amos wished to decline the funds raised on his behalf, the GoFundMe was put under review by our Trust & Safety team and then removed from our platform."

Shannon's GoFundMe reportedly brought in $13,000 from 300 people before being shuttered ... and the rep says the money is being refunded to donors.

John was hospitalized in June, but his rep told us he was never fighting for his life ... and he told us he didn't know why his daughter started crowdfunding in the first place.

Saucy Santana Lawsuit Dangling After $25K Concert No-Show He Denies Accusal ... Wanted To Salvage Event

UPDATE

6:21 PM PT -- Saucy Santana’s team tells TMZ Hip Hop that One Memphis’ account of the event is completely fabricated and claim they have receipts of their own!!!

UPDATE

The rapper’s team denies he was ever paid the full amount … insisting he just got half of the deposit before the show.

UPDATE

Saucy says after he missed his flight, he offered to still come –— and he insists to OMOV obliged and promised to extend the event or even have him perform at an after-party for a rate lower than what Saucy says he’s used to.

UPDATE

Saucy’s team says those plans fell through for some reason and OMOV then attempted to paint him as the bad guy.

UPDATE

As for his rider, we’re told Saucy’s team informed OMOV they didn’t need everything on the list — just the liquor, hookah, and chicken to pack up and eat for later, and Saucy also denies his team used the vehicle all day just to cruise around town.

UPDATE

Jerry, the owner of the rental vehicle provided for Saucy’s team, also says OMOV still hasn’t paid him … the messiness just keeps piling up.

UPDATE

We’ll just have to see how this plays out if it ever ends up in a courtroom.

Saucy Santana being a no-show for his Memphis Pride event is potentially about to cost him a bundle -- the event organizers are demanding the money they already paid.

A rep for One Memphis One Vision tells TMZ Hip Hop they paid "Material Girl" rapper half the $25K advance of the performance for this past weekend -- but, in light of his absence, they want all of it back ... even if that means installments.

So far, the company says Saucy hasn't ponied up a cent.

EVENT EXTRAVAGANZA
Instagram / @the1saucysantana

We're told they booked Saucy, and he even helped promote the event on IG -- but then he missed the performance ... apparently, due to a flight delay.

OMOV tells us it shelled out thousands on a personal vehicle -- because Saucy refused to use Uber Black -- which Saucy's team paraded around in all day, despite his absence.

The rep thinks Saucy has no respect for their nonprofit, which advocates for youth battling HIV/AIDS ... and they even griped about his fancy schmancy tour rider!!!

Saucy's tour rider didn't win him any friends either -- we're told his list of needs includes several bottles of tequila, cans of Red Bull, and boxes of chicken. OMOV says it provided all of the above, and it wasn't cheap.

The organizers say the sole purpose of the event was to get people tested, and while fans flocked to the doors ... OMOV says they dipped out once they realized Saucy was a no-show.

OMOV says it's prepared to file a lawsuit this week if they don't get a refund.

We reached out to Saucy's team, but mum's the word so far.

A previous update of the story indicated Saucy's team received the full $25K when it was actually half the amount; $14.5K.

Victor Wembanyama Fans Swarm NBA Prospect At JFK ... Ahead Of Draft

Victor Wembanyama mania is in full effect -- the future No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft was mobbed by fans as he touched down in the U.S. on Monday ... and the scene was crazy!!

The 19-year-old French phenom is at the center of the basketball world ahead of Thursday's festivities ... and all signs point to the San Antonio Spurs taking him as soon as they're on the clock.

Wembanyama immediately got a taste of what it will be like to be a celebrity in America when he landed at JFK airport ... being met with a large group of supporters.

Fans brought basketballs, magazines, and custom jerseys in hopes of getting an autograph from the 7'5" hooper ... and based on the footage, he was patient enough to sign as much as he could before heading into a sprinter van.

"I don't know how they knew what flight I was on, but it's fun," Wembanyama said of the impromptu meet-and-greet. "It's different, seeing that you can have such impact on people."

Welcome to the league, Vic -- better get used to it!!

Titanic Submarine That Tours Wreckage Missing in Atlantic Ocean

A submarine that gives underwater tours of the sunken Titanic has gone missing during a recent expedition ... and now, authorities are on the hunt to find it somewhere in the Atlantic.

The deep-sea vessel vanished sometime over the weekend, with a full-blown search and rescue operation launched Monday, via the U.S. Coast Guard. Reports say inside the sub were 4 crew members and one tourist.

Unclear where exactly it lost touch with its home base ... but reports say the submarine had begun a 12,500-foot descent into the ocean to see the Titanic wreckage up close off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. A famed (and rich) British world explorer, Hamish Harding, is said to be the lone civilian accompanying the crew ... as confirmed by his family.

Harding -- who once paid top-dollar for a ride in Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket -- posted a proud pic of himself Sunday, hyping up the fact that he'd be the last person to see the Titanic in '23. The org that owns and operates this submarine, OceanGate Expeditions, was actually set to resume voyages in 2024 -- and this one was going to be their last of the year.

OceanGate has said this sub belongs to them ... and that their team had yet to return from the mission. They're a private company that offers tours of the Titanic ... and tickets for this go as high as $250k.

Normally, these OceanGate Titanic trips last 8 days total and the dives to the Titanic can reach up to 10 hours apiece. OceanGate says they often rely on satellite tech to stay in touch with their subs -- but in this case, it seems all communication has been lost.

The company says their focus right now is "on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families." They add, "We are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely." At this point, it doesn't sound like the search has turned up any signs of life.

Comedian Jocelyn Chia I Might Be Facing Int'l Arrest ... After Malaysia Airlines Joke

jocelyn plane interview
INTERNATIONAL JOKES
TMZ.com

A comedian's relatively mild joke about the missing Malaysia Airlines flight has landed her in hot water -- so much so, in fact, she's now worried about being apprehended internationally.

Jocelyn Chia, who has both Singaporean and American citizenship, is in the crosshairs of the Malaysian government right now ... this following a joke she cracked at a comedy club in NYC way back in April, referencing the doomed 2014 flight that was never found.

"SOME JOKES DON'T LAND"
Comedy Cellar

Her quip about it was honestly not even all that scathing or insensitive -- at least to Americans, but the Malaysian government apparently feels very differently ... to the point where it's now calling for her arrest and extradition to face potential criminal charges.

As insane as that sounds, it's true -- Malaysian officials have asked Interpol to help track down and haul in Chia so she can answer for what they call violations of online content laws they have ... which, for whatever reason, they believe can be applied to her -- even though she's not a Malaysian citizen. On its face, it would seem they don't have jurisdiction.

We got into some of that strange rationale with Chia Monday on "TMZ Live," and she told us she's genuinely concerned about law enforcement snatching her overseas and dragging her to Malaysia.

While Chia normally just worries about her material being funny, she now says she has another thing to consider while performing comedy -- especially internationally -- and that would be ... potential capture. Indeed, it's the stuff of nightmares and movies.

Sounds like she's consulting the right people to make sure she's protected -- and, as you can imagine, other Americans are rallying around her right to free speech ... offensive or not.

Canelo Alvarez Romantic Italian Vacay W/ Wife ... Shopping + PDA!! 💏

Canelo Alvarez clearly wanted some R&R before returning to the ring in September, so the boxing superstar grabbed his beautiful wife and darted off for a romantic vacation in Portofino, where the smoke show couple were seen packing on the PDA! 🔥

32-year-old Canelo and 26-year-old wife Fernanda Gomez were photographed in Italy Sunday afternoon, Father's Day, enjoying the European holiday ... where they shopped in several luxury stores, including Dolce & Gabbana.

Alvarez and Gomez, who married in May 2021 (just a few days after Canelo broke Billy Joe Saunders' face in their fight), were seen kissing and holding hands in between the retail therapy.

Portofino, located in Genoa on the Italian Riviera, is a hot spot for some of the richest and most successful people from Europe and America.

The couple also posted a photo on social media of their view, seemingly before a meal ... and it's breathtaking!

Alvarez last fought on May 6, in his hometown, where he easily handled John Ryder, winning by unanimous decision.

Canelo now plans to fight again in September, but his opponent has not yet been announced. Alvarez has made it clear he wants to rematch Dmitry Bivol, the only man to beat him outside of Floyd Mayweather.

September is about 10 weeks away meaning training camp is close ... and a romantic Italian vacay isn't a bad last hurrah before the grueling work begins! Turns out there are perks to being the most famous boxer in the world!

Russell Simmons Father's Day From HELL Kimora Calls Him Out, Kids Throw Shade

Russell Simmons had a Father’s Day worth forgetting … as his estranged family is accusing the music mogul of being a gaslighting expert who’s rattled their last nerves.

The day took a sour start when Russ' oldest daughter Ming effectively burned her dad and wished her MOTHER, Kimora Lee Simmons, a Happy Father’s Day.

Russ was apparently feeling left out from the Father’s Day love … and shared a not-so-cryptic post on IG blaming his estranged wife Kimora for making him jump through hoops to be a father to his kids.

Unfortunately for the Def Jam Records co-founder, his kids didn't see it that way and continued to drag him.

On Monday, Kimora went live and explained the issues with Russ run deep, she says she's had Russ blocked on social media for a long time, yet he still continues to post like they’re good friends.

His daughter, Aoki, also shared a ton of rancid text messages between her and Russ — and a muted video of him raging manically on FaceTime. She told her followers she also is at her last resort with mending the relationship.

We reached out to a rep for Russ ... so far, no word back.

We covered the drama in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Max Verstappen Wins Canadian G.P. With Dead Bird Stuck To Car!!!

It turns out Max Verstappen's dominant win at the Canadian Grand Prix was even more impressive than it looked ... 'cause the Formula One superstar completed the race with a dead bird stuck to his car!!

The Red Bull driver ran over the poor thing during Lap 11 of Sunday's event in Montreal ... which he hilariously detailed to his team on the radio.

But the animal apparently wanted one last joyride before going to bird heaven ... 'cause it got trapped in the right brake duct of Verstappen's car, where it remained until the checkered flag was waved.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner praised the champ's ability to handle the unique situation ... saying it was "a very, very controlled race by him."

It's not the first time the 25-year-old has had some run-ins with animals mid-race -- he also hit a squirrel at the Italian GP in 2021.

Sunday's win over Fernando Alonso (second) and Lewis Hamilton (third) marked Verstappen's sixth first-place finish in eight races so far in 2023 ... which has him sitting comfortably at the top of the Driver Standings over teammate Checo Perez.

Hopefully this is a teachable moment for any animals thinking about getting a closer look at the races moving forward.

Nick Cannon Celebrates 2-Y-O Twins' Bday ... Father's Day Weekend

Nick Cannon had a busy Father's Day weekend, which kicked off with him celebrating the birthday of his second pair of twins ... and ended with seeing some of his other children too.

Every year, folks wanna know what Nick's up to mid-June ... and every year, he rises to the occasion -- making pit stops all over town like Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. This year proved no different, Saturday was dedicated to his toddler twins Zion and Zillion ... whom he shares with Abby De La Rosa, and who turned 2 before the holiday.

BTW ... their third baby together, Beautiful, was living it up next to her older siblings too.

Seeing how it was their special day, Nick hung out with them and their mom at Sesame Place in San Diego ... and the photos of them at the park are awesome!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Nick documented the trip on social media -- with a great highlight video showing off their visit -- but eyewitnesses tell us it was even more special behind the scenes ... with a whole crew of friends and family tagging along, all of whom enjoyed SP's many attractions.

For example ... we're told Nick and co. took everything in -- from the daily parade to the Sesame Street stage show, as well as the wave pool and Elmo's Silly Sand Slides.

There were also meet-and-greets carried out for his kids with Sesame Street characters, and carousel rides too. In other words, the parents went all out for Zillion and Zion here.

Nick was clearly stoked about ringing in the twins' birthday alongside Father's Day in a little two-for-one bash. He took to social media and wrote, "My little guys turned the BIG 2 this week! Thanks to our friends and family who came together to help us celebrate Zilly & Zion!

SUPER DAD
Instagram / @bre_tiesi , @nickcannon

Now, as for Sunday itself -- the almighty Dad Day -- it appears Nick split his time with a handful of his other kids. And, like he's done before, NC made the rounds for some face time.

From what we can see on his social media ... Nick went to visit -- or at the very least, received gifts -- from four other children of his, and they were all giving it up for Papa Bear in their own unique way.

Remember, Nick's got 12 children total ... it's unclear if he went to see each and every one of them. In any case, he was certainly on a kid sprint -- only lord knows how he does it all.

Happy Father's Day, NC!

Jay-Z & Beyoncé Bidet, Doors & More from Former Home Sellin' On eBay!!!!

If you've ever wanted to use the same bidet Jay-Z and Beyoncé perhaps did, look no further ... because unique items from one of their swanky former homes have made their way to eBay.

Eric from "Eric’s Architectural Salvage LA" tells TMZ … he has some sweet items up on the site, all from a pad they rented -- in addition to the bidet, which has an asking price of $2,400, Eric's selling some sconces, exterior lights, and a huge, arched metal door frame.

There are also some beautiful French doors, which could actually be spotted inside the home before the whole place was redone.

As we reported, the Carters signed a one-year lease for a Holmby Hills mansion back in 2015, and the owner sold the place after they moved out.

Eric says the new owners of the spot wanted to do a complete renovation, resulting in the scrapped items making their way to Eric in 2017.

He says his company purchases all types of items that demolition companies and developers are looking to ditch.

So if you're crazy in love with these pieces -- ya better go grab 'em!
