Pacman Jones Arrested At Airport ... Calls Terroristic Threats Charge 'Bulls***'

UPDATE

8:30 AM PT -- Adam "Pacman" Jones shared his side of the incident after being released from jail ... passionately defending himself to a group of reporters.

UPDATE

Pacman claims he didn't do anything wrong ... calling the terroristic threats charge "bulls***" and adamantly denying being drunk during the alleged altercation.

UPDATE
UPDATE

"Do I look intoxicated to you?" Pacman asked a reporter. "I only been locked up for two hours."

UPDATE

"Y'all talking about 6:30 in the morning. Who in the hell is drunk at 6:30 in the morning, man?"

UPDATE

Pacman -- who is no stranger to controversy -- alludes to being the victim of the situation ... adding, "This s*** getting old, bro. It's getting old. And we gotta stop doing this."

UPDATE

Pacman also called on the media members to "report the motherf***ing facts" ... explaining the whole thing was sparked by asking to move seats after the electric outlet at his assigned spot wasn't working.

Ex-NFL star Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested for making terroristic threats and alcohol intoxication at an airport near Cincinnati early Monday morning ... after officials say police were called to assist with an "unruly passenger."

TMZ Sports has confirmed the former 6th-overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft was taken into custody around 6 AM ... and was officially booked an hour later.

Jones is facing misdemeanor charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening. While we're working to gather more information, the latter charge is especially of note ... considering Monday is the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Prior to the arrest, Jones posted a video of himself walking through the Northern Kentucky International Airport ... ranting about the Bengals' 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

BEFORE THE ARREST

This isn't Jones' first run-in with the law ... and isn't his first airport incident, either -- he famously got in a brawl in Atlanta back in 2018, although officials determined he was not the aggressor.

Jones -- who played for the Titans, Cowboys, Bengals and Broncos over the course of his 13-year career -- was most recently arrested in 2021 ... after he got in a violent altercation at a bar in Cincinnati.

Horrifying Video High School Security Guard Shot In Head ... Critical Condition, Teen Arrested

091123-security-guard-kal
SHOOTING A SCHOOL GUARD

A security guard was shot in the head after a high school football game in upstate New York ... and the terrifying moment was captured on video.

The violence erupted Saturday afternoon in the parking lot at Thomas R. Proctor High School in Utica following Proctor's 60-30 win over Binghamton HS.

Check out this new footage posted to X, which shows a bunch of brawlers going at it as two security guards try to break up the fight.

After people start to disperse, the crackle of gunfire is heard, and one of the guards is hit in the back of the head. You can see him drop to the ground.

He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical, but stable condition.

The Utica Police Department said a 16-year-old boy was identified as the shooter after detectives reviewed several videos filmed at the scene.

The teen surrendered Sunday and was charged with attempted murder and firearm offenses. His motive was not disclosed.

Kevin Federline $40k a Month in Child Support Isn't Fair ... I've Got the Kids 100% of the Time

Kevin Federline is thinking of going to court to ask for an increase in child support from Britney Spears ... because he never bargained on having the kids full-time when they hashed out the terms of support.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kevin gets $40k a month for the 2 kids he shares with Britney -- Jayden James and Sean Preston. The amount is predicated on each having the kids 50% of the time. The reality -- Britney has had the kids 0% of the time for years.

Sean Preston turns 18 in a couple of weeks, so the support will end for one of the boys. However, Jayden's will stay intact until around June 2025, when he graduates high school. So realistically, $20k is the relevant amount if Kevin asks for an increase ... but that amount could balloon if he proves he needs more money for 100% of Jayden's care.

As we reported, Kevin, his sons, and his wife, Victoria, all moved to Hawaii last month ... a decision Britney ultimately didn't fight in court.

Kevin encouraged Sean Preston and Jayden to see their mom but wasn't gonna force them. They passed on saying goodbye. The kids haven't seen her going on 2 years.

We reached out to Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan. So far, no word back.

Michael Irvin Settles Lawsuit With Marriott ... Returns To NFL Network

Michael Irvin was back analyzing games on the NFL Network on Sunday ... after he settled his $100 million defamation lawsuit against Marriott.

The Dallas Cowboys legend was all smiles on "NFL Gameday Morning" as he was introduced by host Rich Eisen ... saying on the show, "It's good to be here."

The appearance marked the first time Irvin had been on the network since February ... after he had been suspended following allegations that he was inappropriate with a Marriott employee during Super Bowl week in Phoenix.

The worker -- who Irvin ID'ed as Jane Doe in court documents -- alleged that Irvin had stopped her near the hotel's bar, told her she was attractive ... and then asked her "whether she knew anything about having a 'big Black man inside of [her].'"

Irvin was adamant the claims were not true ... and he filed a lawsuit against Marriott a short time later, saying the Hotel giant's "employees and management inaccurately and inflammatorily accused Mr. Irvin of misconduct to the National Football League" -- costing him tens of millions of dollars. Irvin and his attorney, Levi McCathern, released video of the apparent interaction between the two -- and said it showed nothing more than a brief, innocuous conversation.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the parties reached a settlement recently ... which paved the way for Irvin's return to NFL N. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed publicly.

For the NFL Network's part, a spokesperson told the DMN, "Michael Irvin has been reinstated and will be a part of NFL Network's coverage of the 2023 season."

Gary Busey Fallout From Alleged Hit-And-Run ... COPS WANT HIM TO RETAKE DRIVING TEST

Gary Busey may have to prove he's a good driver ... cops are considering trying to get the actor to retake his driving test in the wake of his latest alleged traffic mishap.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... sheriff's deputies in Malibu are very familiar with Gary's alleged poor driving habits, and cops are strongly leaning toward submitting paperwork to the DMV requesting a driving retest for the 79-year-old.

We're told Gary has been involved in multiple car accidents in the past few years ... and with last week's alleged hit-and-run aftermath caught on video, police are thinking of ways to take action.

TMZ broke the story ... Gary was chased down by a woman who claims he rear-ended her car in Malibu and fled the scene, and she recorded their confrontation on PCH.

Law enforcement tells us the Busey incident remains under investigation and no arrests have been made, nor citations issued.

In the meantime, it sounds like Gary may want to get some practice behind the wheel.

'Aquaman 2' WB Drops Teaser Trailer ... Amid Marketing Rumors

UPDATE

5:25 PM PT -- And just like clockwork, Warner Bros. has dropped the teaser trailer for 'Aquaman 2' -- this amid a ton of clamoring from fans who feared the studio was leaving this flick by the wayside.

UPDATE
UPDATE

WB must've been paying attention to all the Twitter chirping, 'cause they literally uploaded a 30-second promo -- with a promise of the full trailer dropping Thursday. In the teaser, it gives you a sense of the action and the plot ... but there's one notable absence.

UPDATE

Not much footage of Amber Heard that we can see here. Time will tell if she's in the full trailer.

DC fans think Jason Momoa and Amber Heard are getting sidelined in the lead-up to "Aquaman 2" -- and the rumored reason ... the studio's reportedly preparing for a bomb.

The comic book crowd is in a frenzy this weekend amid some gossip about "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" -- which is coming out in December ... but which has yet to show off any official marketing material, including first-looks, teaser trailers or much of anything else.

The lack of promotion is starting to concern some of the most fervent DC heads, and many have wondered why Warner Bros. is taking their time. Welp, one purported comic book scooper -- who's often credited with insider knowledge -- says he has the answer.

KC Walsh of The GWW wrote in response to one fan, "Because they know it’s bad, they know it’ll lose money, and they aren’t putting a marketing budget behind it at all."

It's unclear if KC is actually citing sources within the industry, or if he's just floating his own theory on why the trailers have been slow to roll out -- so take his words here with a grain of salt. Still, though ... his "report" is being taken seriously by a lot of comic-centric outlets.

More importantly, the logic seems to make sense to many -- and this all has to do with how DC's latest big superhero movies recently did at the box office. Of course, there's "Blue Beetle," which didn't make much money at all ... but the big mistake lies in "The Flash."

The Ezra Miller-led film reportedly cost hundreds of millions of dollars to both shoot and market -- and, as we all now know, the movie performed abysmally ... leaving WB in the red.

Lop on the alleged fact that this new movie supposedly stinks, and it's no wonder Warner would be wary to pour even more money into 'Aquaman 2' -- the budget of which is said to have ballooned north of $200 million through a ton of different reshoots amid the pandemic.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Plus, there's the strike that's still ongoing ... not to mention lingering Amber hate, as well as James Gunn's overarching reboot of the DCU. With all these factors combined, it's easy to see why WB possibly scaling back the "Aquaman 2" rollout actually checks out.

Warner might have experienced a windfall in "Barbie," but appear to have issues elsewhere.

Ricky Williams I Could've Been An MLB All-Star ... But There Was One Issue

090823_ricky_williams_baseball_kal
TOO MUCH COMMITTMENT
TMZSports.com

Ricky Williams was one of the best running backs of his era ... but he says he had the potential to dominate in a completely different sport -- the former Miami Dolphins standout tells TMZ Sports he could have been an All-Star if he pursued a career on the baseball diamond!!

Before he made his way to the NFL gridiron, Ricky -- whose legal name is now Errick Miron -- played several seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies' farm system while juggling his time with the Texas Longhorns football team.

Ricky -- an 8th-round pick to the Phils in the '95 MLB Amateur Draft -- was an outfielder for the organization's rookie league and Single-A teams for four years ... and footage of one of his early games actually exists!!

So when we caught up with Ricky last week, we asked if he's ever wondered how things would've panned out had he switched his focus to baseball ... and he believes he had the skills to hang with the big leaguers.

"I wouldn't say I was great, I had a lot of potential," Ricky told us. "I love to get better at things. If I would have devoted my full time to baseball, I would have been an All-Star baseball player."

So, what led him to football instead of baseball?? A pretty understandable reason.

"It's a fantasy, but the reality is I'm kind of the person where 162 games -- that's too much for me.

"Football is intense, but you got a nice offseason. That's more my speed."

Safe to say it all worked out -- Ricky won the Heisman Trophy in 1998 ... and went on to rush for more than 10,000 yards in his career.

Ricky -- who is a marijuana advocate and has his own "Highsman" lifestyle brand -- also told us his dream NFL legend blunt rotation ... and discussed the current state of running backs in the league.

Guess Who This Beach Kiddo Turned Into!

Before this beach-lovin'-kid in her bucket hat turned into an American actress, she was just hitting the beach on the weekends, driving with her mom to NYC for auditions during the week, and growing up in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition to starring on the CW's "Riverdale," you may also recognize this blonde beauty from the movie "Hustlers" with Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez. And, acting isn't her only talent... In 2020, she dropped her book, Swimming Lessons: Poems.

Need one more hint? Just ask her besties and on-screen cast mates, Madelaine Petsch and Camila Mendes!

Can you guess who she is?

Drew Barrymore Announces Talk Show's Return ... Writer's Guild Slams Her

Drew Barrymore's popular talk show is coming back to a TV near you -- this despite the fact that there's still a couple strikes going on ... and one guild is effectively calling her a scab.

The former child star announced Sunday that season 4 of 'The Drew Barrymore Show' will soon resume production, something she knows is going to ruffle feathers ... but which she's defending as necessary, while also vowing to comply with strike regulations.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Drew writes, "I made a choice to walk away from the MTV, film and television awards because I was the host and it had a direct conflict with what the strike was dealing with which was studios, streamers, film, and television. It was also in the first week of the strike and so I did what I thought was the appropriate thing at the time to stand in solidarity with the writers. And to be clear, our talk show actually wrapped on April 20th."

Then, the haymaker ... "However, I am also making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me. I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind."

She explains that people, apparently, need her show ... writing, "We launched live in a global pandemic. Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the real world is going through in real time. I want to be there to provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience."

Drew finishes with this ... "I hope for a resolve for everyone as soon as possible. We have navigated difficult times since we first came on air. And so I take a step forward to start season 4 once again with an astute humility."

Read between the lines, and it sounds Drew is going to proceed without any writers -- at least for now. While she's saying they'll be in compliance, the WGA says she's already in violation of strike rules by moving forward at all ... claiming 'TDBS' is a struck show.

A WGA honcho tells THR, "It has stayed off the air since the strike began on May 2nd but has now (unfortunately) decided to return without its writers. The Guild has, and will continue to, picket any struck show that continues production for the duration of the strike."

Fun fact -- 'The Drew Barrymore Show' is just one of 2 daytime talk shows ('The Talk being the other) that employ union writers. CBS -- the parent company -- says her show will not be performing any writing work covered by the WGA strike, including literary material.

Season 4 is expected to premiere on Sept. 18. We'll see what Drew says about this on the air, if anything.

Chris Evans Reportedly Marries Alba Baptista!!!

Chris Evans is a married man -- that is, if a report about his would-be nuptials is to be believed.

Page Six cites insiders who claim the 'Avengers' star got hitched this weekend to actress Alba Baptista during an intimate ceremony at their Boston-area home. The outlet says they only close friends/family, but even then ... made sure to lock down any potential leaks.

The way they apparently did this, per PS ... making everyone sign NDAs and confiscating phones. As far as any famous faces who witnessed it -- Chris's Marvel costars Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and Chris Hemsworth are said to have been among the guests.

If true, obviously that's huge ... as Chris hasn't ever been married, despite being one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood for years. He's rumored to have been linked to a number of women ... but we know he's dated Jessica Biel, Jenny Slate and Minka Kelly.

As far as his relationship with Alba, it's been as low key as you can imagine -- with Chris dropping only glimpses into their romance here and there since going IG official in January. They're reported to have begun dating in 2021, and spent much of 2022 living together.

At only 26, she's not a huge star at all -- with roots in Portugal -- and yet, seems to have captured Captain America's heart. We've reached out to Chris's reps ... no word back yet.

Gunna Packs Barclays Center ... First Show Since Jail, 'Snitch' Rep

Gunna might’ve recently been labeled a snitch by some, but it looks like even more people are still rocking with him.

The rapper performed a headlining show Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn — his first in a long time — where the stadium was packed to the gills with paying customers.

The dude went through a ton of his songs, including some newer ones he dropped in his latest album — “A Gift And a Curse” — which the crowd seemed to know well as they rapped along. By the looks of it, there was a lot of enthusiasm and good vibes … almost as if nobody cared about the whole YSL scandal.

Remember, Gunna’s name has been getting dragged through the mud these past several months after he struck a deal with Fulton County prosecutors who are going after several of his label mates, including Young Thug. The perception from some fans was … dude must’ve ratted out his crew and cut himself a deal, which led to hateful comments.

Gunna denied doing that though, and has maintained he still supports Thug — which was evident in his concert this weekend. On one of the monitors, there was a “Free Jeffrey” message blaring across the screen, so it’s clear he still considers himself aligned with YT.

This was just one of 2 shows that Gunna is doing in the near future — he’s got another one scheduled in LA later this month. He’s not touring, per se, but does seem to be testing the waters on how a full-blown comeback might look like.

Based on this first outing, it’s safe to say the people are hungry to see him live.

Spanish Soccer Prez Luis Rubiales Resigns ... After Kissing Scandal

Luis Rubiales is stepping down from his post as chief of Spanish soccer -- this after mounting pressure following his kissing scandal during the Women's World Cup.

The President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation -- who's had the job since 2018 -- just publicly announced he was resigning during an interview with Piers Morgan, who was asking if the backlash had grown too large to ignore.

Rubiales acknowledged his defiance was now starting to affect others and the organization at large, and that he was becoming a distraction ... so he's throwing in the towel.

He does maintain his innocence -- as he's done from the start -- but says trying to keep his position was turning out to be more trouble than it's worth. After a clip of the Piers sit-down was posted, he took to Twitter to confirm he'd passed the baton on to the acting Prez.

In his lengthy statement, Rubiales says he plans to defend himself/his honor in the continuing fallout. Of course, that seems to reference the criminal complaint the female soccer player herself, Jennifer Hermoso, filed with the Spanish authorities -- alleging sexual assault.

Spanish prosecutors have already said they're taking him to court to stand trial. If convicted, he faces a fine and/or up to 4 years in prison.

082023-world-cup-kal
FORCED TO KISS

Rubiales apologized for the incident shortly after it happened -- saying he got swept up in the moment ... but later suggesting it was a consensual kiss, despite Hermoso saying otherwise.

He was eventually suspended, and the head coach of the team actually got fired for defending Rubiales -- in which he commended the fact Rubiales refused to quit. It's perhaps not that surprising ... the team had said they wouldn't take the field until he was gone.

A lesson learned ... don't kiss people without their consent. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Danny Masterson Accuser Torches Ashton Kutcher ... Resurfaces Icky 2000s Clips

One of Danny Masterson's accusers is taking Ashton Kutcher to the woodshed after his in-court support of his old pal -- and doing it by resurfacing old footage that hasn't aged well.

Chrissie Bixler -- who dated Danny back in the day, but who has since come forward as one of several women to claim he raped her -- took to IG this weekend to invoke DM's "That '70s Show" costar ... who wrote a letter on Masterson's behalf seeking leniency.

091023-chrisie-bixler-kal
CREEPY QUIPS

In a series of IG Stories, she threw up a ton of old clips that show Ashton and his wife, Mila Kunis, interacting together ... as well as one of Mila and Danny that certainly feels icky.

One clips shows Ashton on his old show, 'Punk'd,' and it's the Hilary Duff episode. At the time, she was underage -- and Ashton says she's one of the girls in Hollywood that "we're all waiting for to turn 18." Two other clips she posted show Ashton/Mila talking about the first time they met, and how they first kissed on set. This is well known, but Mila was 14 when she got hired on "That '70s Show" ... and Ashton was about 5 years older than her, at 19.

There's yet another clip that shows Mila and Danny promoting the show, in which Mila addresses her young age when she first started -- and Danny saying she was hotter then.

The point is ... Chrissie is strongly suggesting that Danny, Ashton and Mila were all cut from the same cloth -- which, of course, comes on the heels of the couple issuing a public mea culpa for their letters. Sounds like Chrissie is throwing that apology back in their face.

090923_ashton_kutcher_mila_kunis_kal 9/9/23
LET US EXPLAIN ...

BTW, another huge star also appears to have weighed in on this saga ... Christina Ricci.

The actress took to Instagram herself with a lengthy message but doesn't name Danny, Ashton or Mila specifically. Still, it seems pretty evident who she's referring to here.

CR writes, "So sometimes people we have loved and admired do horrible things They might not do these things to us and we only who they were to us but that doesn’t mean they didn’t do the horrible things and to discredit the abused is a crime."

She adds, "People we know as ‘awesome guys’ can be predators and abusers. It’s tough to accept but we have to. If we say we support victims -- women, children, men, boys -- then we must be able to take this stance." Christina says she came to learn that some of these "awesome guys," who seemed great in public, were abusers in behind closed doors.

Christina finishes with this, "Believe victims. It’s not easy to come forward. It’s not easy to get a conviction."

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

WWE's Matt Riddle JFK Sexual Assault Claim Triggers Internal Investigation

Matt Riddle claimed an NYC airport cop sexually assaulted him during a confrontation -- and while he seems to have taken it back, an investigation is now underway ... TMZ has learned.

The WWE wrestling star posted a shocking allegation Sunday, taking to IG to throw up a photo of a Port Authority police officer at JFK ... and attaching a scathing caption. He claims to have been touched inappropriately by this cop but doesn't go into too much detail.

What he does say is that he told this officer "no," but alleges the man proceeded to do something out of bounds to him anyway. FWIW, Riddle has since deleted the IG post.

Now, as far as what led up to this and what exactly went down ... we have some answers. Law enforcement sources tell us Port Authority officers got a call for a disorderly person who was deplaning, and they met him in the terminal. As it turns out, that was Riddle.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

We're told the cops talked to MR -- as well as other witnesses -- and he seemed apologetic in the moment. No police report was filed, and everyone was free to go without incident.

It's because of this that our sources say the Port Authority was shocked by Riddle's claim ... as, from their view, nothing went down to warrant such an accusation. Still, we're told the department is taking his claim seriously ... and an internal probe has been launched.

The last thing Riddle had to say about this was not great. He says, "Finally leaving JFK and I never wanna come back here again." Ring Side News first reported the confrontation.

President Biden Back to Quoting 'John Wayne' Flicks Dog-Faced, Pony Soldier 🤔

President Biden loves those old western films, evidenced in the fact that he once again quoted his favorite John Wayne line ... which still doesn't seem to exist as he describes it.

Joe was out in Vietnam this weekend where he was talking shop with other global leaders, and at one point he was addressing climate change ... and used a line he believes is from a JW movie to hit the point home about folks who deny global warming exists.

091023-joe-biden-kal
'memba the john wayne line ...

Of course, he again invoked his favorite old-timey phrase -- "lying, dog-faced pony soldier" -- to suggest the people who say climate change isn't real are bold-faced liars.

Joe describes the scene he believes this line, which he's dropped before, is from -- and apparently it has something to do with Native Americans being deceived by Union soldiers ... with one of the tribesman telling John's character that they're full of it.

He doesn't say which film, specifically, this is from ... and even his description of the scene is a little fuzzy. Funny enough, Joe used this quote before -- back in 2020, while he was campaigning, he called a young woman this to her face after she asked a question.

At the time, his remark was perceived as rude and a little out of pocket on JB's part -- but journos also discovered the "dog-faced, pony solider" mashup simply doesn't exist as Joe remembers it. He appears to be mixing lines from a couple different John Wayne movies, not to mention an entirely separate film ... the 1952 Tyrone Power flick called "Pony Soldier."

This reminds us of that old American ditty, which goes a little something like -- Home on the Range Rover, where the John Deere and the anteaters play!!! Something like that, anyway.
