Julio Urias Dodgers Star Allegedly Pushed Woman Into Fence Before Dom. Violence Arrest

Julio Urias was seen shoving a woman into a fence at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday before he was arrested ... multiple sources tell TMZ Sports.

The alleged incident happened at some point after the LAFC vs. Inter Miami soccer game.

We're told stadium workers at first broke up the altercation ... but our sources say Julio then went into a nearby car with the woman, where we're told things once again got heated.

Our sources tell us cops then came and got the two out of the car ... before arresting Urias for felony domestic violence.

The Dodgers star pitcher was ultimately booked into jail at around 1 AM PT Monday ... and after about four hours behind bars, he posted $50,000 bail and was released.

Urias had been having an up-and-down season for LA prior to the arrest ... posting an 11-8 record with a 4.60 ERA.

He last pitched on Sept. 1 ... but he's since been away from the team while authorities and Major League Baseball officials investigate the allegations against him.

Bill Maher Newsom Needs to Step Up, Help End Showbiz Strikes!!!

GETTING REAL WITH BILL MAHER
TMZ.com

Bill Maher is wondering why California's Governor is standing on the sidelines during Hollywood's economy-crushing labor disputes, and he's calling on Gavin Newsom to help hammer out a deal.

The 'Real Time' host joined us on "TMZ Live" and we asked him about the strike that's put his, and every other TV host's, staffs out of work for months now. Bill says this should be Gov. Newsom's time to shine by getting both sides in a room to find a quicker path to ending the work stoppage.

He also pointed out the obvious -- showbiz is one of California's biggest industries, so Gov. Newsom absolutely has a vested interest in fixing it.

Now, Bill says he is supportive of the writers -- hell, he IS one, and says he's not shooting his show out of solidarity -- but he also tells us some of the union demands get under his skin ... and lays out exactly why.

The HBO host also has strong thoughts on what's going on at college campuses around the country ... explaining why he's not surprised Harvard was just ranked the worst school for free speech.

Bill says it's part of an ever-growing echo chamber of sorts, calling it an extension of what has been playing out at corporate media outlets for decades, but he's got some solutions.

As always, Bill is equal parts funny, practical and blunt, and he's got a lot to say before he heads out to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for a series of standup shows on Sept. 15-16 and Nov. 3-4.

Catch our full interview with Bill on Thursday's "TMZ Live."

'Let It Rock' Singer Kevin Rudolf 'Memba Him?!

New York native and singer Kevin Rudolf was 25 years old when his song "Let It Rock" featuring Lil Wayne became an international banger -- reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Canadian Hot 100 -- back in 2008.

In addition to his vocal skills, Rudolf is also a songwriter and plays several instruments. In 2003, he strung his guitar on Lil Kim's hit song "The Jumpoff," which led to other collaborations including Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and The Black Eyed Peas.

"Because when I arrive I, I bring the fire ... Let It Rock, Let It Rock, Let It Rock!"

Guess what he looks like now at 40 years old!

Bruce Springsteen I'm Suffering From Health Issue ... 'Heartbroken' To Postpone Shows

Bruce Springsteen is postponing the rest of his shows this month, and it's all because the singer is dealing with a medical issue.

The Boss just announced he's pressing pause on his upcoming tour dates ... and he says it's the result of ongoing treatments for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.

In a social media post, Bruce says his medical advisors urged him to take it easy and postpone the shows.

Bruce and the E Street Band were supposed to perform Thursday in Syracuse, NY ... but that show is on hold, ditto for upcoming gigs this month in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ohio, New York and Washington D.C.

In a statement, Bruce says ... "Over here on E Street, we're heartbroken to have to postpone these shows. First, apologies to our fabulous Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. We’ll be back to pick these shows up and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support."

Bruce adds ... "We've been having a blast at our U.S. shows and we're looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon. Love and God bless all."

Joe Jonas Takes The Kiddos Out To Eat ... After Filing For Divorce

Joe Jonas made a point to mention he was the one taking care of his daughters in filing for divorce from Sophie Turner ... providing more evidence of that with a breakfast date.

The singer was in dad mode Wednesday at Sweet Butter Kitchen in L.A. with his little ones -- 3-year-old Willa and her 1-year-old sister -- along with another friend who was helping to take care of the girls.

Joe kept a happy face for the kiddos, making them smile and trading high-fives as everyone ate and chatted. In other words, the 34-year-old certainly didn't look like he was in the middle of a divorce.

As you know, Joe filed for divorce from Sophie Tuesday, asking for joint custody of their kids. The docs said Joe wants a judge to establish a parenting plan that sets up frequent contact between him and Sophie.

TMZ broke the story, the couple's relationship had been rough for at least 6 months due to their different lifestyles -- we learned through multiple sources in contact with Joe that he saw something on a Ring camera that made him realize he should pull the plug.

Joe and Sophie have since spoken out, saying in a joint statement that they "mutually decided to amicably end our marriage."

PARTYIN' IT UP
BACKGRID

Britney Spears is getting over Sam Asghari by getting on a plane ... and, at least on the surface, she doesn't seem to be sweating the divorce as she has fun down in Cabo San Lucas.

The singer was showing off some moves at a bar called Baja Diablo ... where she was feeling the music Sunday, along with her bodyguard and a female friend in red. The bodyguard was definitely multitasking -- taking a phone call, dancing with Brit and, of course, watching her back.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Britney's dancing was a bit toned down compared to the moves she normally shares online ... but she was hardly shy as other bar patrons watched her.

Of course, some people were definitely trying to grab a moment, or photo, but Britney's security waved them off as they yelled out her name.

BARING IT ALL

As we reported, Britney certainly hasn't been sulking since Sam filed for divorce last month -- despite saying she was "a little shocked" ... she's shared some old footage of her havin' fun with some shirtless men, and also posted a topless video of herself.

TMZ broke the story, Sam called things off after he believed Britney was cheating on him with a staffer at their home ... and they've cut off all contact with each other.

If Britney's in need of any post-breakup therapy, looks like she's finding it in Mexico.

Kevin Costner Divorce Christine Ordered to Pay His Attorney's Fees ... So Now You Understand!!!

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is on a losing streak, because she's just been ordered to pay Kevin's attorney's fees over some shenanigans.

As we reported, last month Kevin's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, asked Christine if she understood the Premarital Agreement she signed. It's a significant question because there are signs Christine will challenge the prenup, and understanding it before signing it is relevant.

Christine and her lawyers essentially said they didn't understand what "understand" meant.

There was A LOT of back-and-forth between lawyers, and Kevin's bill for trying to squeeze an answer to the question amounted to $14,237.50.

The case is back in court today, and the judge just ordered Christine to pay Kevin the $14k+ bill.

This comes days after Kevin won a huge victory over child support. Christine was asking for $248,000 a month, but Kevin argued the realistic and appropriate amount to pay was $63k a month. The judge signed off on the $63k.

It's still unclear if Christine will challenge the prenup. If she does and she loses, she'll have to pay Kevin's attorney's fees incurred in defending the prenup.

Kourtney Kardashian Reveals Urgent Fetal Surgery Saved Unborn Baby's Life

Kourtney Kardashian says she underwent life-saving surgery for her and Travis Barker's unborn child ... a procedure that made her "forever grateful."

Kourtney broke her silence Wednesday on her recent hospital stay, sharing a pic of her and Travis holding hands and saying she's grateful to doctors, "for saving our baby's life."

She goes on to thank Travis, saying he "rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock." She also expresses gratitude for her mom, Kris Jenner, who also supported her through the scary process.

She continues, "As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear."

Kourtney ends the emotional post, saying the "truest blessing" was walking out of the hospital with her kiddo safe and sound in her stomach.

As we reported, Travis' band, Blink-182 had to push pause on their tour last week after an "urgent family matter."

He was then spotted leaving an L.A. hospital on Saturday with Kourtney in tow. She was still pregnant while leaving the facility.

Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner Ring Camera Video/Audio was Lynchpin to Divorce

Joe Jonas saw/heard something with Sophie Turner that was the last straw in his decision to file for divorce, and it involves a ring camera.

Multiple sources who have direct contact with Joe tell TMZ ... Joe had access to a ring cam that he said captured Sophie saying and/or doing something that made him realize the marriage was over.

TMZ broke the story ... Joe and Sophie's marriage had been on the rocks for at least 6 months, and it was all over a significant difference in lifestyles. As one source put it, "She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles."

As we reported, over the last 3 months, Joe has had the kids almost all the time. Sophie has been in London, but Joe and his bros were touring the U.S. and he had his 2 small kids in tow.

We know Joe had been in touch with at least 2 divorce lawyers last week. Interestingly, both lawyers are in L.A., yet he decided to file divorce docs Tuesday in Florida.

Joe and Sophie said in a joint statement Wednesday, "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why ..."

We reached out to Sophie's team ... they had no comment.

Kanye West Suing IG Music Leaker Dunno Who You Are, But You'll Pay!!!

Kanye West is launching a legal offensive against an IG page that he claims has been leaking his music ... a tactic that may eventually lead to learning the identity of the person behind alleged leaks.

According to new court docs, Kanye is suing the unknown individuals behind the Instagram account for @DaUnreleasedGod claiming they misappropriated his trade secrets ... in this case, by posting a bunch of Ye's unreleased music!!!

The complaint specifies Ye has no clue who's behind the IG page but believes whoever is behind the account worked with him in the past and signed a confidentiality agreement before being given access to the tracks ... and he believes the leaks violated those agreements.

He plans to amend the filing with the names of the people behind the account once he learns their identity.

Since March 2023, Ye claims he's seen 21 leaks of his music on @DaUnreleasedGod's IG and another 11 via the same Twitter handle ... with songs ranging from potential blockbusters with DJ Khaled and DaBaby to unreleased tracks from the "Donda" and "Jesus Is King" albums to reference tracks for Rihanna and will.I.am.

Last week, Ye was out in Ireland when he played Steve Lacy some new tunes but that was clearly on his own terms.

Ye's rumored to be making a musical comeback soon ... so it'll be interesting to see if this delays that.

Julio Urias Bobblehead Night Scrapped ... After Pitcher's Arrest

Tens of thousands of mini Julio Uriases will NOT be handed out to Dodger fans in a few weeks -- the team has elected to scrap its bobblehead promotion following the star pitcher's domestic violence arrest.

The Dodgers announced the move just minutes after the ace was placed on administrative leave Wednesday ... as the league investigates allegations he got physical with a woman at the LAFC vs. Inter Miami game Sunday night.

Sept. 21's game against the San Francisco Giants was slated to honor Urias' participation in the World Baseball Classic this past offseason ... with the collectibles showing him in a throwing motion in a Team Mexico jersey.

L.A. said in a statement the team will now hand out "select premium bobbleheads" to the first 30,000 fans at the ballpark instead of the Urias giveaways.

It's not the first time the Dodgers have elected to go a different route with a player promotion amid controversy ... the team did the same thing after sexual assault allegations were made against Trevor Bauer in 2021.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed Urias' arrest with reporters Tuesday night ... saying, "I was shocked. Everyone was. It is just an extremely unfortunate circumstance for everyone."

Nina Agdal Sues Danis Over Paul Fight Trolling ... Files For Restraining Order

Dillon Danis' incessant online trolling of Nina Agdal has driven Logan Paul's fiancée to the point of both suing Danis and filing for a restraining order against him to make it stop.

Agdal beelined it to court Wednesday to file docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, claiming Danis has posted "despicable" things about her more than 250 times since his fight with Paul was announced earlier this summer.

In her suit, she says she's suffered humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm ... alleging that one post Danis made on Aug. 11, in particular, violated federal and state law.

She says as part of the post, Danis threw up a sexually explicit image of her that was taken from "a romantic encounter" she had had with a person more than 10 years ago.

"Danis posted the photograph -- entirely uncensored -- from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff's consent," Agdal wrote in the suit. "Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive."

The 31-year-old model claims Danis only agreed to delete it after Misfits Boxing -- the org. behind the Oct. 14 Danis vs. Paul tilt -- threatened to cancel the fight unless he took it down.

Agdal added in the suit that many of Danis' other posts have upset her ... including a tweet he made on Aug. 28 that she says showed a video of her from more than six years ago where she talked about "her desire for intimacy during a period of celibacy."

She claims in the suit that the vid had been stored deep in her Snapchat archive ... "suggesting Danis had hacked [her] personal account or had obtained the private video from someone who had done so."

She's asking for unspecified damages in the suit but wants no less than $150K per violation of the federal law prohibiting the sharing of intimate images.

As for her TRO, she's asking a judge to bar Danis from posting sexually explicit images of her going forward ... in the wake of Danis' repeated threats to release further images that could be damaging to Agdal's reputation.

For Danis' part, he's been unapologetic over the posts throughout the past few weeks ... saying they've been helping promote his upcoming fight with Paul.

Danis took to Twitter to comment on the lawsuit, saying, "Nina Adgel has filed a massive lawsuit against me. She filed a restraining order against me and is seeking prison time, so the fight is in jeopardy if I’m in jail. This is actually wild but I won’t stop f*** the system come get me. Logan Paul is a dead man walking."

We should say ... the lawsuit doesn't mention anything about Danis missing the fight or being barred from the event, nor does Nina ask for prison time, that's not how lawsuits work.

Kendra Wilkinson Suffers Panic Attack ... Checks into Hospital

Kendra Wilkinson is currently hospitalized and getting some much-needed medical help after suffering a panic attack ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the former "Girls Next Door" star tells TMZ Kendra had recently become overwhelmed in balancing her life, 2 kids and her job in real estate and it all became too much to handle.

We're told Kendra didn't sleep Tuesday night and decided Wednesday she needed to go to an L.A.-area hospital for medical treatment after suffering a panic attack.

One person tells us Kendra was desperate for help when she entered the emergency room, pleading for someone to get her to a doctor.

Kendra's rep says her ex-husband, Hank Baskett, is currently with her at the hospital while she rests and doctors attend to her situation.

Kendra, who had a massive run of success on reality TV, including her own show "Kendra on Top," recently spoke to Melissa Gorga on her podcast about the end of her TV career.

Kendra revealed she was in a bad state when it all ended, sharing it was her kids who kept her going, “It was impossible to be happy at that point ... I didn't even know how to be happy. My kids were what gave me the purpose."

REL RUNNIN' LATE

Lil Rel Howery says an ill-timed trip to the men's room almost spoiled his marriage proposal during Beyoncé's concert ... and he's thanking her for stalling long enough for him to pop the question.

The comedian joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" and told us all about how his engagement went down ... and why nature called at the most inopportune time.

Lil Rel proposed to his GF Dannella Lane at Beyonce's concert Monday night at SoFi Stadium, and he says Jay-Z and Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, advised him to do it when she sang "Love On Top" ... and they arranged to get the moment on the stadium's big screen.

OPERATION: PROPOSAL

It's funny, Lil Rel says he was waiting for the song for so long, he finally needed to break the seal ... and as soon as he got to the bathroom, "Love On Top" started playing.

Lil Rel says he finished his biz, and rushed back to his woman ... but he couldn't find their seats!!!

With the clock literally ticking, Lil Rel says he had to go back out and retrace his steps, and when he finally got back to his seats a cameraman was waiting ... and Beyoncé was motioning for him to get on with the proposal because she was dragging out the song. 😂

It all worked out, since Dannella said "Yes," and he tells us how the plan to propose really came together at the last minute. As for whether Bey's forgiven his tardiness ... we'll let him tell it.

Hey, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. 🤷🏽‍♂️

'Moonshiners' Star Jim Tom Hedrick Dead at 82

Jim Tom Hedrick of "Moonshiners" has died ... TMZ has confirmed.

A family member of JT's tells us he passed away Wednesday morning in Robbinsville, NC -- although the exact circumstances are unclear. What we do know, per the relative, is that JT had kidney cancer and was receiving dialysis for a long time.

We're told Jim was in a nursing home for the last year, and photos of him in a hospital bed had been posted in recent months.

A statement from Sugarlands Distilling Co reads, "Jim Tom dedicated much of his life to the art of moonshining, becoming a legend in Appalachia along the way. Jim Tom’s well-earned reputation as one of the most skilled moonshiners in the South earned him a role on the hit television program Moonshiners, where his colorful personality endeared Jim Tom to the hearts of millions."

SDC goes on to say Jim Tom was one of the veteran moonshiners in the area who embraced them when they opened their doors ... and his stamp of approval went a long way.

Jim Tom appeared on several seasons of the long-running Discovery reality series -- which chronicles moonshiners running their illegal booze biz all throughout the Appalachian mountains. He joined during Season 2 in 2012 and stuck around through 2017.

He was known for his unique personality and manners of speaking -- not to mention his storytelling and, of course, his pristine skill at making homemade alcohol out in nature.

He was 82.

RIP

Ex-NFL WR Mike Williams On Life Support ... After Accident At Construction Site

UPDATE

1:42 PM PT -- The mother of Mike Williams' daughter said Wednesday afternoon the former NFL player has not died ... although she did say he is currently on life support inside a Florida hospital.

UPDATE

Tierney Lyle told the Tampa Bay Times ... she and the couple's daughter visited Williams Wednesday afternoon at the medical facility and he was "mostly non-responsive."

UPDATE

"He was asleep when we went in there and he woke up when he heard our voices and his daughter’s voice," Lyle said. "And he looked around, and he blinked and he was crying but he can't move."

UPDATE

Lyle told the outlet she was under the impression the plan was to take Williams off life support ... though that has yet to happen.

Former NFL receiver Mike Williams -- the Offensive Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2010 -- has died following a recent accident at a construction site.

According to a GoFundMe page set up by Williams' family, the ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout suffered a "massive head injury" a few days ago when a steel beam fell on him ... causing "complete paralysis in his right arm as well as his lower body from the waist down."

Sadly, Williams' family says his condition worsened in the ensuing days ... and Spectrum News 1's Jon Scott reported Monday he passed away.

He was just 36 years old.

News of his death Monday evening rocked the football world ... with his former teammate, Gerald McCoy, tweeting he was devastated to learn of the passing.

"Dang man hurts my heart seeing the news of my former teammate and Buccaneers 2010 draft class brother Mike Williams," McCoy said. "Always great energy, brought joy and laughter to the locker room and a heck of a player!! Prayers and blessings to his family!! 🙏🏾😔"

The Bucs picked Williams with a selection in the fourth round of the '10 NFL Draft ... and he went on to have an outstanding rookie season, finishing only behind Sam Bradford for OROY honors.

He would go on to play for three more seasons in Tampa, before he was traded to the Bills in 2014. He was never able to replicate the production he had as a rookie, however, and he bounced from the league after just one year in Buffalo.

The former Syracuse standout finished his career with 3,089 receiving yards and 26 receiving touchdowns in 63 total games.

RIP.
