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.

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.

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.

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.

The family seems to think he’s suffering from some sort of mental issue … and refuses to get checked out.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Bebe Rexha had an incredibly painful experience at her NYC concert Sunday night ... collapsing onstage after getting pelted in the head by a phone.

The singer was performing at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in Manhattan as part of her "Best F'n Night of My Life" tour when somebody tossed the phone from a packed crowd, hitting her directly in the face.

One video posted to social media shows Bebe crumbling to her knees and slumped over in pain. Her worried handlers quickly rush to her side to give her assistance.

A second clip shows Bebe holding her injured face with one hand while waving to her fans with the other as she's escorted off the stage by her crew. The audience responded by chanting her name in support.

Her fans also expressed their concern and disgust on Twitter. One wrote, "Absolutely great show ruined by a fan throwing their phone at @BebeRexha hopefully she is ok after that."

Another said in part, "We were all having a hell of a good time and so was Bebe, we were all having a blast, I mean who would even do that??? We hope you’re ok."

Reports say Bebe needed 3 stitches to close her wound.

NYPD officers responded to the scene and arrested the alleged culprit, Nicolas Malvagna, for assault. Police noted the charge was upgraded to a felony because Malvagna used the phone as a weapon.

Former "Days of Our Lives" star Cody Longo died from years of hard drinking ... according to the medical examiner.

Cody's autopsy report, obtained by TMZ, says the late actor's cause of death was "chronic ethanol abuse" ... and the report also notes the manner of death was natural.

What's more, the autopsy says Cody's body was decomposing when he was found dead ... and the death scene was littered with alcohol bottles.

TMZ broke the story ... in February, 34-year-old Cody was found dead in a bed at a residence in Austin, Texas.

Sadly, the autopsy results will not come as a shock to those who knew Cody -- his family previously told us he had struggled with alcohol abuse for years and went to rehab in the summer of 2022.

They already believed he had relapsed and that alcoholism ultimately killed him.

Jennifer Lopez is kinda flexing on everyone by making sure we all know she's got a serious hunk o' man in Ben Affleck ... by posting a thirst trap to honor his daddy status.

BA was front and center on J Lo's Instagram Sunday as she dropped a sweet Father's Day tribute gallery. Her first slide is a bathroom mirror pic of Ben shirtless ... which shows that he's in great shape, and maybe even pantless.

There's another couple of photos with more clothing ... shots of the 2 of them snuggling together.

Her caption reads, "Daddy Appreciation Post Happy Father’s Day Papa." She adds, "And Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Papas out there!! We love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know."

Ben and Jen don't share any children together, but he's got kids of his own -- and ditto for her, obviously. They've done well at blending their families, as the brood always seems to be hanging out together in just about every setting. Makes sense, they are married now.

It's a dog-eat-dog world, but in one pro fishing team's case ... a shark-eat-marlin one too, which ended up costing 'em a ton of dough -- to the tune of millions of dollars!

Officials for the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina disqualified a crew this weekend after they hooked a massive marlin that they'd spent upwards of 6 hours reeling in ... and weighing in at over 619 pounds.

It should've won 'em the grand prize. Should have ...

That award would've been a whopping $3.5 million ... but the team, cruising on their boat Sensation, got screwed out of it -- all because their catch had been mauled.

Indeed ... tourney honchos came down with their controversial decision to disqualify the marlin after Sensation landed the massive fish and had taken tons of pics with it hanging over their boat and deck too. Apparently, the thing had significant shark bites in it.

Those bites aren't all that visible to the untrained eye ... the marlin appears to be mostly intact and in good shape -- but, as it turns out, there was enough damage to it for the Big Rock people to cross it out.

Instead, another fishing crew -- riding on a boat called Sushi -- ended up winning with a much smaller marlin ... which weighed only 484 pounds or so. The Sensation team, of course, was bummed about losing out ... saying it was a tough pill to swallow.

Quavo and Offset have managed to push past whatever wedge came between them following Takeoff's death to celebrate their fallen comrade's birthday, which would have been his 29th.

On Sunday, the 2 remaining Migos were both chatting it up in Atlanta while wearing Takeoff memorial shirts.

The 2 rap stars nearly came to blows -- only to be separated by Cardi B -- back in February, but time has apparently healed their wounds.

Both men also dropped solo tributes to Takeoff on their IGs.

Takeoff was killed last November ... and his mother is currently seeking justice in the form of a lawsuit aimed at the venue where the shooting took place.

Dee Devlin is making it clear she's standing by Conor McGregor despite recent rape allegations ... jetting out to NYC this past weekend to spend a loving Father's Day with the UFC star.

McGregor shared photos of the couple's holiday celebration on his Instagram page Sunday evening ... and in the pics, you can see Devlin looked as in love with the 34-year-old as ever -- even though he was just accused of sexually assaulting a woman a week prior.

Wearing her engagement ring, Devlin was seen in the pics embracing McGregor ... and at one point, rubbing one of his feet. The two were also seen smiling ear-to-ear as they were surrounded by their three children.

"The Best Fathers Day yet!" McGregor wrote in a caption on the pics. "Happy Fathers Day, gents. God bless."

Devlin, who's yet to publicly comment on the accusations, has been dating McGregor for over a decade ... getting engaged to the fighting star back in 2020. McGregor just revealed last week they're expecting to have their fourth child later this year.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... McGregor was accused of kissing a woman without her consent, forcing her to perform oral sex, and then attempting to sodomize her during a violent attack inside of a restroom following Game 4 of the NBA Finals back on June 9 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

But, Conor, through his attorney, has vehemently denied all of the allegations ... calling the woman's claims "a shakedown" attempt.

Adele is raking in millions during her Las Vegas residency ... but she's not just growing her wealth in Sin City, she's also developed a nasty fungal skin infection.

Chatting with her fans at her show over the weekend, Adele got super personal -- telling everyone she'd recently been diagnosed with a case of good ole fashioned jock itch.

The way Adele explains it -- she wears Spanx during her shows to make sure all of her costumes fit -- combine that with the hot lights, and it's a recipe for sweat soup. The singer says she noticed the condition developing ... and was officially diagnosed with jock itch by her doctor.

In a hilariously-candid moment, she talked about her treatment for the condition, saying, "So it looks like I am an athlete basically, so I have to squirt it on myself. I don't know why the f**k I just told you that!"

Tom Petty's family has cops taking a closer look at his wardrobe, at least the items that ended up on an auction block ... and we've learned it's a grand theft investigation.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the late singer's family members filed the report last week after discovering Tom's belongings were up for auction. They're pissed because, according to them, the items were last seen getting loaded into an L.A. storage unit.

We're told LAPD took a grand theft report and will now investigate the matter.

TMZ broke the story ... Tom's jackets, shoes, hats and clothes showed up in an RR Auction lot last month ... but then the family called foul, claiming Tom's gear was actually stolen.

The auction house says Tom's stuff was consigned by a third party to be auctioned starting June 22 ... and they say the gear is from Tom's former home in Encino, CA.

After Tom's family raised concerns, RR Auction pulled the items and told us they were "aggressively investigating the situation."

We reached out to the auction house regarding the new police report ... so far no word back.

As the man himself once sang, the waiting is the hardest part!

Ronda Rousey was brought back to earth for an emotional moment during her time on "Mars" ... with the UFC legend breaking down in tears during a video conversation with her daughter.

Ronda and other big names were completely separated from the real world for weeks as they competed on the Fox show, "Stars on Mars" ... and in the latest episode of the series, all the remaining contestants appear to be struggling with their living conditions.

In an emotional clip, Ronda is shown FaceTiming with her 1-year-old, La'akea, and her husband, Travis Browne ... and she can't help but cry as she looks at her daughter's smiling face.

"Hi, my beautiful angel!!" Ronda said ... with Travis replying, "We love ya."

Ex-NFL star Richard Sherman also shared his issues with being away from his loved ones ... admitting he felt like he was experiencing "space madness."

Lance Armstrong said the competition is no joke ... adding, "The long game here is brutal. The mental side of this is torture."

Before this cutie pie firmly holding onto her Annie doll was starring on sitcoms like "The Big Bang Theory" and "Night Court", she was just hanging by the piano, staying warm in her turtleneck and growing up with her family of four in Marlboro Township, New Jersey.

Aside from her working at The Cheesecake Factory on "The Big Bang Theory", she's landed other notable roles on shows like "True Blood" with Anna Paquin, and shared a hospital room with Pam Beesly played by Jenna Fischer on "The Office."

Need one more clue? She hopes you have the best week ever!
