A Jewish woman who survived the Holocaust -- and is currently living in Israel -- is getting terrible flashbacks amid the attacks by Hamas ... a group she calls "inhuman," and horrifyingly reminiscent of the Nazis of her childhood.

90-year-old Lucy Lipiner joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," along with her daughter, Rena Lipiner Katz ... and said she can't even begin to comprehend why Jewish people have been persecuted so frequently for centuries now.

Lucy arrived in NYC from Poland in 1949 when she was 16 years old, having survived the horrors of the Holocaust ... and she lived in the Big Apple up until last month when she moved to Israel to join her daughter and other family members.

Despite the destruction and horror of the Hamas attack of October 7 -- and the subsequent rocket volleys between Israel and Gaza -- Rena tells us why she and her mom are staying put.

Rams starting cornerback Derion Kendrick was arrested in Los Angeles on Monday ... less than 12 hours after he helped his team beat the Arizona Cardinals.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports ... the 23-year-old was pulled over early in the morning for a traffic violation -- and we're told during the stop, police found a gun and marijuana in his car.

Jail records show Kendrick was then booked at 2:14 AM PT on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon ... and as of 2:30 PM PT on Monday, he remained in custody.

Further details surrounding the arrest were not made immediately available. We've reached out to the Rams for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

Kendrick -- who was drafted by LA in 2022 -- played nearly every defensive down for the Rams just hours before his arrest ... logging two tackles in their 26-9 win at SoFi Stadium.

Tommy Lee used to down an ungodly amount of booze when he was young(er) and dumb -- which is why he's in complete shock over his clean bill of health now, and we can't blame him.

The Mötley Crüe drummer was chit-chatting with Bill Maher on his 'Club Random' podcast, and revealed the extent of just how much he used to drink in his heyday. TL says he guzzled up to TWO GALLONS of alcohol daily -- hard liquor, in fact.

His drink of choice back ... straight vodka, or at least that's what Tommy suggests here.

If it sounds like a lot, that's because it is ... and Bill himself couldn't believe what he was hearing in this interview. He breaks down two gallons in different measurements -- noting a gallon alone equals 4 quarts, which Tommy confirmed -- and was astonished by the confession.

Tommy says that he now realizes he was on a death mission back in those days -- adding, "Your liver is on crutches at that point; it's just barely functioning."

What's even crazier is how Tommy's organs are holding up these days ... not to mention the rest of his body. According to him, doctors have checked him out inside and out -- and they've given him a thumbs up ... telling him he's as clean as a whistle and in good shape.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are in a giant money hole, but their house is worth millions ... and they just listed it for sale while in the middle of their nasty divorce.

The Milton, Georgia just hit the market for $6,000,000 ... it's got 7 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a beautiful pool in the backyard. If Kim and Kroy get asking price, they'll make a substantial profit on the property as they bought it back in 2012 for $880,000.

Located on a golf course, the home also comes equipped with a home gym, movie theater, wine cellar, bar, arcade and plenty of space to spread out.

Interestingly enough, the home was scheduled to go into foreclosure next month ... so Kim and Kroy are getting ahead of the auction in attempting to sell it themselves.

Remember, we were the first to report when Kroy filed docs asking the judge to allow the sale of the home in order to help pay off the estranged couple's various debts.

The house sale marks just another chapter in the couple's contentious divorce ... with allegations of gambling addiction, drug use and at one point both dismissed their divorce petitions -- only for Kroy to file once again.

D.L. Hughley doesn't think supermodel Gigi Hadid should be catching flak from Israel for posting about her thoughts about the conflict with Hamas ... and says she's only doing what millions of others have done.

We got D.L. Monday at LAX, and he let us know his thoughts on the backlash Gigi's now facing directly from the State of Israel due to her posting a meme about the "Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians."

According to D.L., Gigi's expressing her views the way she sees it, and has every right to speak out in any way she sees fit -- adding she obviously isn't the only one sharing thoughts and concerns about the conflict.

He also tells us why failing to see humans as the same -- regardless of race, ethnicity or religion -- is why arguments like this never end well.

As we reported, the State of Israel's official Instagram account put Gigi on blast Sunday, claiming she's been "sleeping this past week," adding, "Are you just fine turning a blind eye to Jewish babies being butchered in their homes? Your silence has been very clear about where you stand."

Tupac Shakur's brother Mopreme says Diddy called him personally to deny involvement in the Las Vegas murder, and while folks like 50 Cent continue to fuel that rumor ... it sounds like Mopreme still wants an official verdict.

On Monday, Pac's bro was back in the hot seat for "Art Of Dialogue" -- the same platform where Tupac murder suspect Keefe D told on himself -- and Mopreme dug into his memory vault to recall the Diddy phone call.

At the time, they hadn't met, but Mo says the Bad Boy mogul knew exactly who he was and what he was about -- and wanted to tell him "man-to-man" the killing wasn't on his hands.

Mopreme says Diddy dialed him "sometime in the 2000s" ... which aligns with the 2008 Los Angeles Times story written by Chuck Philips that implicated Diddy in Tupac's murder.

The Times eventually retracted the story after the FBI reports it cited were found to be falsified.

Mopreme admits finding answers behind Pac's death has been a chore, and doesn't know what to make of Diddy's phone call to him.

For what it's worth, Keefe has previously claimed Diddy was orchestrating behind the scenes. It's unclear what he'll say in court now, should he actually stand trial for Tupac's murder.

12:45 AM PT -- According to an incident report obtained by TMZ Sports, Antonio Brown was arrested Sunday outside of his home in Dania Beach, Fla. while getting into a taxicab.

Antonio Brown was arrested in Florida over the weekend ... just days after his ex told TMZ Sports she wanted him put behind bars over unpaid child support.

According to jail records, Brown was booked at 12 AM on Sunday in Broward County, Fla. ... and released a short time later.

WPLG reported Monday it all stemmed from a Miami-Dade Police Department warrant that was filed after Brown allegedly ducked making child support payments to his ex, Wiltrice Jackson.

Jackson told us last week the former NFL star owes her nearly $31,000.

"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."

Brown has not played in the NFL since the 2021 season ... though he's found success away from the field making rap music.

Jada Pinkett Smith has been an open book on Will Smith while promoting her new memoir ... spilling her guts about their complicated relationship.

One of the biggest revelations Jada made was also the first ... she and Will have been separated and living completely separate lives since 2016 ... carrying on a charade as a committed couple for 7 years, until finally coming clean.

Jada made the separation revelation in a couple different interviews ... one with 'Today' and another with People Mag ... and says they will NOT be divorcing.

Along those same lines, Jada says she was "shocked" when Will called her "wife" during his infamous Chris Rock slap at the Oscars ... a label she says he hadn't used for years during their separation.

In fact, Jada said she initially thought the Oscars slap was a skit ... telling NBC's Hoda Kotb the incident ended up being a turning point in her relationship with Will.

Jada also revealed what happened during the commercial break after the slap ... claiming Chris came over to her and apologized for the joke that set off Will.

Speaking of Chris, Jada told PEOPLE he once asked her out on a date when rumors were swirling about a potential divorce with Will ... but when she told him the rumors were BS, he was appalled and apologized.

Jada opened up about her history of suicidal thoughts ... she says they first started when she was 21 and her Hollywood career was starting to blow up. Jada said she was afraid she would slit her wrist and begged her mom to fly out to L.A. and help her.

From there, Jada said her mom suggested therapy ... and she credits therapy, and her mom, for saving her life back in the day.

Problem is ... Jada says when she turned 40 the suicidal thoughts returned ... and she would drive around the famous Mulholland Drive in the Santa Monica Mountains, pulling over on the winding, cliffside road, where she would consider staging a fatal accident that didn't look intentional.

Jada says she was ultimately diagnosed with complex trauma with PTSD and dissociation.

Aaron Rodgers would like this tidbit ... Jada says ayahuasca helped save her life too. She says she first took the psychedelic in her living room, with her son Jaden and his teenage friends.

Jada revealed she was a drug dealer back in the day in Baltimore ... selling crack cocaine to support herself when she lived with her mother.

Baltimore's also where Jada met Tupac Shakur. She says she felt an immediate connection with Tupac when they first met in the 1980s at the Baltimore School for the Arts. Jada says Pac was her soulmate and he proposed to her, but they didn't have any chemistry.

There was another relationship Jada mentioned ... and it got ugly.

Jada recalled a former romantic partner who ran in the same Hollywood circles, and they were set up by their publicists and managers in the fall of 1994 ... but Jada says one night he was driving drunk in NYC with her in the car and he flew off the handle.

She says he had an "explosive reaction" ... slamming his fist on the dashboard. Jada says she worried what he might do to her next and she opened the car door and literally jumped out. She says she ran -- in sandals and a skirt -- back to his place, where she armed herself with a kitchen knife.

One last juicy nugget about Will ... Jada says they were vacationing in Los Cabos in 1997 before they were married and that's where Jaden was conceived.

Jada said she knew she was pregnant within seconds of having sex with Will ... even telling him so while they were still in bed together. She says pregnancy tests soon confirmed her intuition.

A man in Australia was forced to put up his dukes against a buff kangaroo that was holding his dog hostage ... catching the whole thing on camera.

The down-under beatdown took place between the 'roo and Mildura resident Mick Moloney ... who took a swing at the animal, and got knocked in return -- his camera took a tumble into the water, but his dog was safe from the scary situation.

Mick told ABC Radio Melbourne Afternoons he was stretching near the river over the weekend when he noticed his pup, Hatchi, was nowhere to be found.

He soon found his answer, though -- first noticing the kangaroo staring at him in the river, then his dog came up from the water, yelping as water gushed out of its mouth.

Mick claims Hatchi was in a headlock and knew he had to go save his doggo ... but admitted the kangaroo looked "jacked," adding, "I was like 'this thing's just got out of jail' or something."

He says it was pretty strong -- but he slapped the marsupial across the head and got into a tussle in the water. Mick admits it looked like it was gonna kick him, too ... but he splashed some water in its face while he bolted to the shore where his dog was safe.

Jada Pinkett Smith isn't the only one in her family having a difficult time with their marriage ... her brother's apparently been separated for years too, and now his wife's filed for divorce.

Caleb Pinkett's wife, Patricia Pinkett, beelined it to court Monday and filed to divorce Jada's brother after more than 17 years of marriage ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

In the docs, Patricia notes she and Caleb have been separated since Feb. 28, 2020 ... and she's going with the boilerplate irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Remember ... Jada recently revealed she and Will Smith have been living separate lives for 7 years and basically carrying on a public charade as a married couple.

Jada's brother, an actor and producer, tied the knot with her sister-in-law back in September 2006 ... and they have one minor child together, an 11-year-old daughter. Patricia is seeking joint legal and physical custody of Jada's niece.

Patricia also wants Caleb to cough up money for spousal support ... and she wants to terminate the court's ability to award him any spousal support.

Cardi B joined Kim Kardashian's Skims campaign ... adding a sexy boost to the billion-dollar brand's "Cotton Collection."

The Diamond-selling rapper says the undies make her feel "snatched" in a press release Monday, modeling an array of new colors that put all her curvaceous features on display!!!

Kim K's got quite the celebrity army wearing her labels and Cardi recently completed the trifecta along with Ice Spice and SZA of Hip Hop stars who rock Skims.

Cardi's been on the move helping hubby Offset promote his new album ... the new collab is right on brand for her.

Jimmie Allen showed face at a Pop Warner youth football game over the weekend with some protection ... carrying a hunting knife on his side while taking in the action.

TMZ obtained photos of the country music star with a huge knife in a sheath hanging from his hip. A witness tells us Jimmie showed up Saturday to a Pop Warner game in Lewes, DE to watch a family member play.

Folks who were there say Jimmie had a friendly conversation with the man he was standing next to on the field ... and we're told Jimmie seemed to be rooting for the winning team.

While it's unclear exactly why he had the knife, a source close to the singer tells us he fishes almost daily and is always outdoors, so it's possible he just happened to have the knife on him.

Jimmie's been going through a lot lately ... as we've reported, he's countersuing a woman who is accusing him of sexually assaulting her and secretly filming the alleged encounter.

What's more, Jimmie is also countersuing his former manager, who is accusing him of sexual abuse.

Meanwhile, Jimmie and his wife Alexis are back together after briefly separating when he confessed to cheating on her ... and last month they welcomed their third child together.

A Bears fan was hit so hard by a haymaker during a fight at Chicago's game over the weekend, he appeared to momentarily lose consciousness right in the middle of a stadium concourse.

The wild fracas happened at some point during the Bears' tilt with the Vikings at Soldier Field on Sunday ... when a group of men became so enraged with one another, they started brawling.

At one point during the action, a man in a Walter Payton jersey was absolutely leveled by a Justin Fields supporter ... and you can see in video from the scene, the punch seemed to briefly KO the man.

Somehow, however, he got up -- before he was pushed back to the ground just seconds later.

Meanwhile, as several other Bears fans were scuffling, a man kicked another man hard in the head. The violence then appeared to mercifully stop.

We've reached out to cops to see if any arrests were made, but so far, no word back yet.

Millie Bobby Brown isn't mincing words on how she feels about the show that made her famous -- saying she's ready to turn the page ... and calling it a burden on her career.

The actress -- known for playing Eleven on the hit Netflix series dating back years now -- dished her latest thoughts about 'ST' in a new interview with Glamour ... where she pretty much crapped on the gig that gave her her big break.

The article notes she likens her final season -- which is forthcoming next year -- to a senior year in high school, where one's itching to be done with it already. She says, "When you’re ready, you’re like, 'All right, let’s do this. Let’s tackle this last senior year. Let’s get out of here.'"

Millie adds, "'Stranger Things' takes up a lot of time to film and it’s preventing me from creating stories that I’m passionate about. So I’m ready to say, 'Thank you, and goodbye.'"

With that said, she does seem to offer a sense of gratitude for what she's learned on the show, going on to say the series gave her "the tools and the resources to be a better actor." And then, in the same breath ... another slap in the face, of sorts. Glamour says MBB refuses "to be goaded into mourning the show."

Millie finishes by saying .... "When it ends, I’m going to be able to still see these people," pointing out that nobody is actually dying with the fan-fave binger coming to a close.

Obviously, she's over it -- and perhaps for good reason. Out of all the kids, she's arguably far and away the most famous outside of 'Stranger Things' ... and it sounds like she's ready to break free from it completely. It has been 7 years already, after all ... so we kinda get it.

Gigi Hadid has been called out by the Israeli government over a meme she shared they feel is antisemitic -- and they're accusing her of co-signing the murder of innocent civilians.

The supermodel fell into the crosshairs of the State of Israel's official Instagram account Sunday -- when they posted their own version of a message Gigi shared over the weekend, further addressing the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

In GH's original post, the meme reads ... "There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians. Condemning the Israeli government is not antisemitic and supporting Palestinians is not supporting Hamas."

Israel's government account on IG skewered her in response, throwing up a mirror image of the meme -- but this time reading, "There is nothing valiant about Hamas' massacre of Israelis. Condemning Hamas for what it is (ISIS) is not anti-Palestine and supporting Israelis in their fight against barbaric terrorists is the right thing to do."

They further zeroed in on Gigi, tagging her in their IG story and writing ... "Have you been sleeping this past week? Or are you just fine turning a blind eye to Jewish babies being butchered in their homes? Your silence has been very clear about where you stand."

The State of Israel finished by adding, "We see you" ... and went on to post a photo of children's toys and clothing alongside a bloodied floor. Israel continues by saying, "If you don't condemn this your words mean NOTHING."

Clearly, Gigi's most recent sentiment didn't sit well with Israeli officials ... but it would appear her initial remarks -- in which she condemned the massacre of bystanders/ordinary citizens, including those in Israel -- was fine, 'cause they didn't say anything about it then.

At any rate ... shots have been fired now, we'll see what Gigi has to say about it beyond this.

Taylor Swift's security guard, who went viral for how well he protected the singer during her "Eras" tour, is back home in Israel ... joining the army in the fight against Hamas terrorists.

The singer's bodyguard flew back to the Middle East amid the deadly fight, according to Eran Swissa of news outlet Israel Hayom -- who said the unnamed guard claimed he "couldn't stand by while families were slaughtered and burned alive in their homes."

He urges others to not "stand by and do nothing. Don't be on the wrong side of history." He also put Hamas aggressors on blast, saying, "It would be an insult to animals around the world to call these terrorists 'animals.’"

Taylor's guard was reportedly once a member of the IDF before coming over to the U.S., too.

The guard first garnered attention this summer after a viral TikTok showed him doing a near-perfect security detail for the singer while she performed in Kansas City.

He really stole the show online, with one fan claiming he "scanned a thousand people in the crowd in six seconds, six seconds flat. Whatever Taylor Swift's paying him, it's not enough."
