A man with a gun wreaked havoc at the State Fair of Texas Saturday night, firing shots into the food court, injuring 3 and sending scores of people running for their lives, and you see the panic from above as someone shot video from the Ferris wheel.

The incident occurred just before 8 PM at the Dallas State Fairgrounds. Police received reports of an active shooter.

When they arrived, they found 3 people sustained gunshot wounds. Fortunately, all 3 injuries were non-life threatening.

The entire fair was evacuated and shut down. The video shows the chaos as people scrambled to leave. It's expected to re-open Sunday at 2 PM.

It's unclear if the shooter was targeting his victims. Details are still coming in.

Pete Davidson delivered a truly heartfelt display of his feelings about the war in Israel during the cold open of the show, and he has a rare perspective that makes everything he said compelling.

Pete, at first he was a good person to talk about the inhumane Hamas terrorist attack and the ensuing war. As you know, Pete's dad, a NYC firefighter, died during 9/11 when Pete was only 7, so he knows what a terrorist attack can do on the surviving family, especially kids.

His heart breaks for all the death of innocent people, especially both Israeli and Palestinian children. He told the audience, no one deserves to suffer like this, especially kids.

He goes on to say his heart breaks for everyone whose lives were destroyed.

His opening monologue was raunchy. Pete says he and his sister have nothing in common, so they decided to bond by watching "Game of Thrones," and the whole incest thing came up which made things super uncomfortable! And then he gets even wilder.

He was super good ... especially in the cold open.

As we told you, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made cameos on the show and hit the town hand-in-hand.

They chowed down at Nobu in NYC before the show.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have clearly decided to remove any doubt from the doubters, because they were all loved up Saturday night, showing the world what's up with their romance.

It's the first time we've seen them show PDA ... holding hands as they headed into Nobu before heading over to 30 Rock to appear on "Saturday Night Live."

Taylor's appearance was a big surprise ... she only uttered 4 words but people in the crowd went nuts when she introduced Ice Spice.

After the show, both Travis and Taylor hit up Catch Steak for the 'SNL' after-party. An eyewitness tells TMZ the 2 were kissing at Catch and Travis' arm was firmly planted around Taylor's waist. They stayed until 4 AM.

We've been telling you for weeks they're a couple. In fact, our sources have told us they've been dating for several months now, but this kinda puts a nail in the coffin of the conspiracy theorists, although that probably won't be the case.

The weather was crappy, but it didn't stop them from hitting the town.

Taylor's been in the air a lot this week ... flying from NYC to Kansas City to watch her BF's game, then flying to L.A. for the premiere of her new movie, and then flying back to NYC with Travis for "SNL."

Taylor Swift is so popular right now she can just say a few syllables -- and everyone goes completely nuts!!

Case in point ... Taylor made a brief -- and we mean very brief -- appearance on Saturday Night Live to introduce Ice Spice for her second performance of the evening, featuring the song, "Pretty Girl."

After a commercial break, Taylor popped up on screen and gave a four-word introduction to her music collaborator on the remix of her tune, "Karma." Taylor said, "Once Again, Ice Spice."

The crowd went absolutely crazy, screaming with applause!!!

Travis Kelce also made a cameo ... after Keenan Thompson joked that he was done with the NFL talking about Taylor's romance and wanted to hear from someone who actually talked football. Travis suddenly appeared and quipped, "Yes, me!."

And that was that. Taylor and her new beau, Travis Kelce, didn't stick around to hit the stage with the SNL cast at the end of the show, but host Pete Davidson thanked them for coming.

Of course, Taylor and Travis were in town making other big news, enjoying an intimate sushi dinner that turned into a media frenzy at Nobu in Manhattan Saturday night.

Check out video of the couple strolling hand-in-hand past the sushi bar as Travis acknowledged the chefs, one of whom waved hello to him.

An eyewitness tells us Taylor and Travis sat down next to each other and were cuddling throughout the meal.

A pair of never-before-seen mugshots of both Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. are set to hit the auction block soon -- and decades after their murders, their legacies still translate into millions.

GottaHaveRockandRoll has all the goods for its upcoming auction -- to be held from Oct. 25 to Nov. 10 -- and TMZ Hip Hop has learned it will also include clear footage of Biggie's final performance ... recorded December 26, 1996, during the Sting festival in Kingston, Jamaica.

The "One More Chance" rapper performed in a wheelchair with his leg still in a cast after a car accident with Lil Cease behind the wheel -- and, tragically, it would be his last ever concert before he was murdered on March 9, 1997.

The internet has been touting grainy footage of the event for years but GHRock certifies the OG video has been unreleased, and the winning bidder will get it with a full copyright.

They'll also get a copy of the agreement Biggie signed with Sting to join the festival lineup.

Biggie's family, on his mother's side, hails from Jamaica and Sting promoter Isaiah Laing recalls the legendary rapper immediately asking to be hooked up with "the good ganja weed," and had a pleasant stay at the famed Jamaica Pegasus Hotel.

GHRock estimates the footage will net anywhere between $1 mil to $2 mil, and the mug shots are expected to attract a very large stack of Benjamins, too!!!

Tupac's OG mug shot taken with a Polaroid has never been released to the public, and is estimated to sell for $20k - $40K. Biggie's mug comes with a signed thank you note from jail, and is predicted to attract a similar amount as Pac's.

A retired Vegas detective recently testified before a grand jury that he believes both rapper's murders are linked to the same characters -- a theory that's resurfaced in the aftermath of cops recently arresting Duane "Keefe D" Davis for Pac's murder.

Justin Bieber is proving love isn't dead, even in the modern age, because he dropped serious cash on a piece of art for his wife, Hailey ... and the piece is based on a text she sent him.

Idiot Box Art owners Emily Bright and Tamara Martin tell TMZ ... Justin hit them up last month to commission the special gift for his boo, agreeing to pay $5,000 for a blown-up representation of a text that clearly holds a special place in his heart.

We're told Hailey sent the message to JB while she was away, listing all the things she missed about her man -- the final product was made out of acrylic and resin on a 3' x 3' wood surface.

The team worked pretty hard to make it look just right, and they delivered the cool art to his home last weekend. We're told Justin wanted to surprise Hailey with the piece when she got back home from Paris Fashion Week.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have shown flashes of PDA, but never quite like this -- namely, the first time we've seen them hold hands in public ... and TMZ's got the video.

The hot new couple hit the town in NYC Saturday night ... strolling into Nobu with nobody else but them, and some security guards in tow. In other words, it was date night -- which was evidenced by the way they were grabbing on to each other, and TK leading the way.

On top of the romantic gesture here, eyewitnesses tell us they were also cuddling at their table. On the way out ... Travis proved to be a gentleman, putting Taylor's coat on for her.

Remember, we already told you they had plans to spend the entire weekend together ... y'know, in light of Trav having a few days since his team got their game over with on Thursday. His brother, Jason, plays with the Eagles in nearby New Jersey tomorrow -- so it would appear they're in town for that and will most likely attend together. Big step, indeed.

Just yesterday, there were a bunch of SUVs parked outside of Travis's home in Kansas City ... so yeah, TayTay spent the night. Later Saturday, her private jet took off from KC and landed on the East Coast. Now, they're gallivanting around the Big Apple together.

Like we said, this is the first time we're seeing them straight up hold hands like boyfriend/girlfriend -- before this ... we saw them cozying up at a Kansas City afterparty.

Of course, everybody also saw them drive away together in Travis's muscle car convertible.

The only other time we've seen them in the same picture frame was when someone recorded them leaving the stadium on that 1st game she went to in-person a few weeks ago ... but they weren't touching then. Now, they totally are ... it's safe to say, they're dating.

TBH, the way Travis literally manifested this thing out of nowhere it's pretty inspiring. He literally just recounted a time he attempted to shoot his shot (to no avail at first) ... and just like that, he will a relationship into existence. Talk about the power of the universe, huh?

Of course, the NFL itself has obviously been eating this pairing up like nobody's business ... they've been loving all the hype and attention it's getting -- not to mention the ratings.

Assuming these two come out to tomorrow's game, FOX is in for a swarm of eyeballs. It would mark the the first time Trayvis would be in a private suite, side by side.

The mother of one of Antonio Brown's children is fed up with the ex-NFL star ... telling TMZ Sports he's still ducking child support payments -- and now, she wants him arrested over it.

Wiltrice Jackson -- who gave birth to Brown's daughter, Antanyiah, in 2008 -- spoke with us about her ex this week ... claiming he owes her nearly $31,000.

And, she says if she doesn't get the cash ASAP ... she wants him behind bars.

Of course, cops have already been ordered by the court to arrest Brown ... after a judge ruled back in August that he missed child support payments. According to court records, there's been no movement in the case since the order was issued.

It was the second time this year that a judge has issued the order against Brown.

Jackson says, regardless, it's all getting old for her ... and she's now wishing police would find him and slap the cuffs on him once and for all.

"I do want him arrested," she said. "Because, right now, he's making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he's untouchable."

It's not all about dollar bills, though ... Jackson's attorney, Pascal Michel, tells us his client wants Brown to be "an involved father," especially since his 15-year-old daughter is following in his footsteps as a star athlete.

In fact, Jackson said Antanyiah -- who participates in track and field at her high school -- has received interest from over 80 schools, including the University of Miami and Oregon.

"By him having a daughter like an athlete like her, you would think he'd be in her corner to support her," Jackson said.

Tara Reid says she learned a lot about herself while filming "Special Forces" ... and despite pulling out of the competition early on, she wants a second chance.

We got Tara outside Crossroads Kitchen in WeHo Thursday, filling us in on why she decided to take a stab at the brutally tough competition series -- mainly, she wanted to prove to herself that she was worthy after being the subject of bullying over the years.

The 47-year-old actress says she's down to try the grueling show again ... even though she pulled herself out of the competition on the 2nd day of training, but admits she didn't have a lot of time to prep before heading to New Zealand.

FYI, Tara tells us she's been getting emotional looking at all the support she's been getting from fans ... reading sweet comments about her determination.

David Arquette's looks over the years may just make you SCREAM!

Here is a 25-year-old version of the charming actor in his iconic cop uniform ... playing Dewey Riley in the slasher franchise film "Scream" back in 1996 (left). This was the first of five films in which he portrayed the handsome Woodsboro police officer.

And, nearly three decades later, the now 52-year-old father of three recently hit the streets of Hollywood -- all smiles, hair slicked back and reppin' his favorite character, Bozo The Clown (right).

His Dewey days may be over, but he sure would kill it as a clown!

The question is ...

Drake's dad, Dennis Graham, doesn't feel his son needs to speak out about the violence in Israel and Gaza because any commentary will be held against him in the court of public opinion.

We chatted it up with Dennis at LAX and certainly didn't seem like he'd spoken to Drake, who's Jewish, about his thoughts on the Hamas terrorist attack and Israel's military response -- but he's certain it's affecting Drake just like everyone else.

Drake's silence, in particular, has been a hot topic on social media thanks to DJ Vlad ... who's been calling out Drizzy and DJ Khaled, who's Palestinian, for not using their massive platforms to speak on the crisis.

Dennis says celebs get way more backlash when they publicly address hot-button issues, and he's certain Drake would be no different.

The proud papa was still in full support of his son's work, though -- rocking "For All the Dogs" merch from head to toe. He also assured us Drake will be okay ... referring to the stomach issues prompting his hiatus from music.

Drake said he may be gone for over a year, and Dennis is his dad, not his doctor -- but he echoed much of what Drake said ... it's minor, not major.

We also inquired about Drake's co-parenting routine, on the heels of him posting a big family photo with Adonis and Adonis' mom.

Underneath this spooky scramble is a singer and songwriter who moved to Los Angeles from Germany when she was 19 years old, and a decade later she (and Sam Smith) walked the Grammy stage -- a true vision in red -- and took home a win!

To get you stoked for Halloween time ... you can blast her Halloween-themed mixtape ... "Turn Off The Light Vol. 1". If you can't see through the distortion, you may be able to find her "at the body shop, doin' somethin' unholy."

Logan Paul kicked Dillon Danis' ass, dominating his rival and winning the fight ... before a melee erupted in the ring!

After weeks of trash talk so intense it sparked a lawsuit and restraining order, the men finally got to punch each other (though, Dillon didn't really capitalize on the opportunity), battling in the co-main event at the AO Arena in Manchester in front of a packed crowd ... including Paul's fiance Nina Agdal and brother Jake Paul.

Logan came out hot … and was the far more aggressive fighter in the first round, landing punches, including some heavy body shots. Danis wasn’t active, throwing only a handful of punches.

Round 2 started slow … until midway through the round when Paul unleashed a flurry of shots, seemingly hurting Danis, who covered up and survived until the bell.

In the third, Danis apparently forgot the men were boxing and threw a backlist before dropping to the ground and inviting Logan into his guard. The ref ordered him to his feet.

Four and five were more of the same ... one-sided.

In the 6th, Danis seemed to go for the takedown, grabbing Logan’s legs … actually promoting Paul’s security to enter the ring during the round!

Order was momentarily restored ... until it wasn't. Moments later, Danis attacked Paul as the ref tried to separate the men, and everyone rushed the ring. The fight was stopped, and Danis was disqualified. Paul was up on all three judges scorecards.

It was 28-year-old Paul's first boxing match since he fought Floyd Mayweather in June 2021 ... an exhibition bout without a winner.

30-year-old Dillon's layoff was even longer. Despite his combat sports background, he hadn't fought since June 2019 ... when he competed at Bellator 222, a fight he won by submission. Before today, Danis had never boxed ... and may never again.

Paul vs. Danis was more than your typical celeb/influencer fight ... there were no handshakes and huge here -- before or after the fight. This was real bad blood ... and a lot of it had to do with Logan's fiancée, who was dragged into the fray in the lead-up to the event.

Remember, Agdal sued Danis in early September ... accusing Dillon of posting "despicable" things about her on social media hundreds of times. Nina even got a restraining order, but the trolling never stopped.

Paul and Danis gave the fans a bit of a preview of the fight on Friday when chaos erupted during the final fighter face-off. Logan pelted Dillon with a can, and DD responded, throwing a microphone that hit Paul in the face, drawing blood.

Adding insult to injury for Danis, all signs point to Agdal's lawsuit continuing ... and there's a lot of money on the line.

A bunch of Texans could've sworn they saw something extraterrestrial in the sky last night -- but fortunately, it was just an out-of-this-world personality from this planet ... Elon Musk.

Several sightings got reported online Friday evening -- with a purported UFO being spotted flying over multiple different cities all throughout the the Lone Star State. In all the clips -- some of which have been obtained by TMZ -- everyone's seeing the same thing.

Take a look ... all these folks see a bright light up in the heavens, which looks to be cruising along -- only to spit out a giant plume of smoke, which expands into an ever-growing ring.

The reactions in about all the videos are pretty much the same ... THE HECK IS THAT???

In the 1st clip above, people are watching a local football game when they spot the celestial phenomenon -- captured right in Dallas. The second clip was filmed in nearby Greenville, TX ... and a third clip was shot quite a ways away in Georgetown, TX, closer to Austin.

Like we said, all of these folks seem to have thought they witnessed a classic flying saucer -- but as it turns out ... it was just a Starlink satellite launch courtesy of EM's SpaceX company.

The subsidiary announced they'd be launching a new fleet from a station of theirs in Florida -- and noted it'd be in "low-Earth orbit." The giant halo effect is called a "space jellyfish" ... something that happens when a rocket's propulsion emission hits sunlight at a certain angle.

Kanye West apparently has a forthcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign that's all but ready to be released to the masses -- the only holdup now is ... who's gonna help him drop it???

Billboard reports that Ye's got new music on the horizon, including this joint collaboration between himself and TD$ -- which will mark his first big release since his antisemitic saga last year ... which put him on the outs with a lot of big-time Hollywood players.

Apparently, the aftermath of that is affecting KW's ability to get this album distributed right now -- but that's not to say he doesn't have options ... Billboard says he does. According to the outlet, Ye is weighing 5 different offers from smaller/lesser-known distributors.

One of those offers came from a music publishing company called Too Lost -- which launched just a couple years ago and which actually already holds the rights to Ye's music on YouTube. Now, it sounds like they're making a play to go all in on him for a straight-up album.

No word on who the other 4 offers are from, but Billboard says Kanye's going to make a decision soon -- and that the album should be released in the coming weeks ... including on all the big streaming services he'd need help from to reach the biggest possible audience.

Speaking of that ... Billboard says, citing sources, every major label is staying away from Ye right now -- and a big part of that has to do with his anti-Jew rhetoric from 2022, which seems to be at the forefront of record execs' minds considering Israel-Palestine right now.

They do note that his new album with Ty doesn't touch on any antisemitism in the songs -- at least based on what's been heard so far -- but he's still far too polarizing to get behind.

Interestingly enough ... Kanye himself doesn't seem to be over talking about Jewish people -- as he just recently filed for a trademark for the term "YEWS," which he wants to slap on a multitude of products and services. Whether that's the album name ... anyone's guess.

Piper Laurie -- the Oscar-nominated actress -- has died ... this according to her team.

Her manager, Marion Rosenberg, confirmed her passing Saturday to some outlets -- with him telling Variety, "A beautiful human being and one of the great talents of our time." He further shared with THR that she'd been ill now for quite some time ... although an exact cause of death wasn't revealed.

Laurie was one of the last few stars from Hollywood's golden era -- having gotten her start in showbiz back in the '50s ... starring in movies alongside some very famous names, including Donald O'Connor, Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson, Tyrone Power and even Ronald Reagan.

Speaking of the late President -- with whom she acted in her breakout film, "Louisa" -- PL once claimed she'd lost her virginity to him ... and they even dated for a while pre-Nancy. Throughout that decade, she was on a tear ... but took a break until 1961, when she starred opposite Paul Newman in "The Hustler" -- for which she won a Best Supporting Actress nom.

After another long hiatus, Laurie came back to the big screen for her memorable role as Margaret White ... Sissy Spacek's mother in the horror classic, 'Carrie,' for which she won another Best Supporting Actress nomination. Ditto for 1986's 'Children of a Lesser God.'

One of her other very famous parts was in the show "Twin Peaks" ... where she played Catherine Martell AND Mr. Tojamura. The latter performance was iconic. She actually won a Golden Globe for her work on 'TP' ... not to mention an Emmy for a TV movie as well.

Laurie's career was long and prosperous ... having starred in other huge films such as "The Bunker," "Return to Oz" and more. Her TV appearance might've been even more prolific -- she acted in series like 'ER,' 'Skag,' 'The Twilight Zone,' 'Traps,' "Touched By an Angel," "Frasier," "Will & Grace," "Law & Order," "MacGyver" ... and so many others.

She was 91.
