Kailyn Lowry has a new baby in her life, and with it comes all the joys of motherhood ... including a post-birth beverage that's au naturel, and straight from the womb.

The 'Teen Mom' star posted an eye-popping clip on social media Monday ... showing her blending up her own placenta and pouring into a Mason jar, complete with a straw -- which was clearly ready to drink ... and we can only assume she did.

She wasn't just going to ingest her own placenta, though ... it looks like Kailyn spread it around on paper as well, showing off different art pieces she made with her uterus leftovers.

We'll say this ... the placenta Picassos aren't half bad -- and it looks like she/her fam took precautions handling it, including using gloves and other protective gear. KL writes of the whole experience ... "This was the second time I got to work with @lancasterplacentaco."

That's a company that offers placenta encapsulation services ... apparently, it's big business.

Of course, all this placenta fun comes on the heels of her announcing that she welcomed another kid -- her fifth, a son named Rio. She shares the baby with her BF, Elijah Scott ... and Kailyn revealed last week that she gave birth last year, keeping it under wraps.

Normally, Kailyn's baby news is very public -- but this time around, she says she wanted to keep it to herself and out of the spotlight. She told People, "I wanted to be able to tell my own story on my own terms and kind of share what information I wanted to share instead of being within a contractual obligation or storyline."

Kailyn has 4 other children -- 3-year-old Creed, 6-year-old Lux, 9-year-old Lincoln and 13-year-old Isaac. Her newest bundle of joy is named Rio.

Mia Schem's mother is doing everything she can to humanize the 21-year-old captured by Hamas -- sharing video of her daughter happy and dancing moments before she was taken.

Keren Schem -- who calls her daughter a "warrior" -- released videos Mia's family has gathered since that horrific day.

It shows Mia smiling, partying with friends and dancing at the Supernova Festival. Keren says Mia "only went to a party, to a festival party to have some fun, and now she's in Gaza."

Hamas released a disturbing video on Monday of Mia getting medical treatment for what looks like very serious injuries, and speaking on camera ... claiming she's fine and pleading with the Israeli government to get her out of Gaza ASAP.

On Tuesday, Keren held a news conference where she begged "the world to bring my baby back home." She called out Hamas for committing a "crime against humanity.

She says she called her daughter's phone for hours on end after Hamas terrorists stormed the festival and killed at least 260 innocent concertgoers and took about another 200 people hostage.

The Hadids are receiving death threats over their support for Palestine -- and it's gotten so bad they've been forced to take action ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... every member in the Hadid household -- including Gigi, Bella, Anwar and even their parents, Mohamed and Yolanda -- have gotten ominous messages that have made them fear for their lives.

We're told these death threats are coming through multiple mediums ... including emails, social media and even their own cell phones.

Our sources tell us phone numbers of several Hadid family members have been leaked online over the past week -- in other words, they've been doxxed -- and they've had random people hitting them up with horrific sentiments ... including graphic descriptions of how they would carry out the Hadids' executions.

It's forced the hand of the Hadids, whom we're told have all had to change numbers to avoid the ongoing threats. It's gotten so bad, our sources say Mohamed -- the patriarch -- is considering going to the FBI.

Gigi broke her silence in the wake of the Hamas attack -- which came across as measured and nuanced, but her latest remarks have drawn the ire of Israel itself.

That disgust appears to have manifested into blind hatred ... and it's having real-world effects on the family.

Other members of the family have yet to address the Israel-Palestine issue publicly.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are taking their on-field chemistry to a completely new sport -- the Kansas City Chiefs superstars are teaming up as investors in the Alpine Formula One team ... part of a massive, $210 million investment!!

Otro Capital announced a star-studded list of sports superstars that are joining its partnership with Alpine on Tuesday ... which includes the pair of two-time Super Bowl winners, golfer Rory McIlroy, boxer Anthony Joshua and soccer players Trent Alexander-Arnold and Juan Mata.

Otro said it hopes the addition of popular athletes from all different parts of the sports world will bring new fans to Alpine ... and help in areas like media, tickets and merch.

Mahomes spoke about the business move ... saying, "I've always had a passion for all sports. The opportunity to lead an investor group with Travis in Alpine F1 alongside Otro Capital was one I couldn’t pass up."

"It's an exciting time for the sport and this is an opportunity to bring our shared values to the world stage. I’m looking forward to being a part of its growth."

Kelce added ... "I am thrilled to lead an investor group and join forces with Patrick and the team at Otro Capital on this exciting venture with Alpine F1. Our shared passion for excellence and innovation forms the cornerstone of this partnership."

"It’s about being able to contribute to a sport that demands precision, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of success. I am looking forward to this new chapter and can’t wait to see what we achieve together."

Alpine -- which also has financial backing from actors Ryan Reynolds, Michael B. Jordan and Rob McElhenney through Maximum Effort Investments -- is currently sixth in the constructor standings thanks to drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly ... so it'll be interesting to see if the Chiefs duo's success can rub off on them.

Lance Bass is not the Swifties' lord and savior -- something he made abundantly clear at Monday night's Chargers game ... in hilarious fashion, no less.

The *NSYNC star was among a handful of stars at SoFi stadium during MNF -- and as the broadcast was going and cutting to different people in the crowd ... they eventually landed on LB, who was sitting in a private suite with his crew.

It looks like he was ready for the close-up ... because he had a sign propped up when they eventually panned to him, and it read "NOT TAYLOR SWIFT." He was smiling and waving -- and everyone seemed to get a kick out of it ... including fellow patrons.

It's just the latest joke someone has cracked at the expense of the NFL ... and Taylor, too, if we're being honest. There's been wall-to-wall coverage of her relationship with Travis Kelce -- which has reached a fever pitch whenever she's shown up to one of his games in person.

Mind you ... she's attended 3 football games so far, and they've all been super high-profile.

There was Taylor's initial appearance in Kansas City, which was totally surreal -- but her 2nd outing in New Jersey (with a bunch of famous pals in tow) might've been just as crazy.

She ended up skipping Travis' third game -- when he and the Chiefs went to Minnesota to play the Vikings -- but she showed face yet again just last Thursday ... when she popped up in K.C. for his game against Russell Wilson and the Broncos.

For all of them, Taylor's been seen cheering and rooting ... and there's been a lot of camera time focused on her -- to the chagrin of a lot of football fans, as we've come to learn.

Britney Spears says she shaved her head back in the day -- pre-conservatorship -- as an act of rebellion ... a stunning new revelation she just made in her forthcoming memoir.

The pop star's new book -- 'The Woman In Me' -- is coming out later this month ... but in an excerpt obtained by People Mag, BS addresses the infamous February 2007 moment when she lost her locks and rocked a bald look in public. At the time, it was cause for much concern.

Here's what she says in her own words ... "I’d been eyeballed so much growing up. I’d been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager."

Britney adds, "Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back."

It was a full year after BS used clippers on herself that she was placed in the conservatorship -- and once she was under the control of the legal apparatus, she says she was informed her short-hair look was a no-go ... and she needed to get back to her old self.

Britney explains ... "Under the conservatorship, I was made to understand that those days were now over. I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medication they told me to take."

She goes on to say in this excerpt that she felt her creativity was zapped once she was in the conservatorship ... and her heart simply wasn't into performing/making music anymore.

Back to the shaved head thing for a bit -- it's interesting she's just chalking it up to lashing out rather than something more serious ... which is long what the public has assumed. Others have floated different theories about why she cut her hair off -- including claims of trying to hide traces of drugs -- but she's now making it sound like she just wanted to do it.

We're sure there'll be A LOT more juicy nuggets to sift through in the coming weeks.

There must've been a "no girls allowed" rule between the Kelce brothers at the Philadelphia Phillies game on Monday ... 'cause Travis and Jason were spotted enjoying the playoff matchup together -- and Taylor Swift was M.I.A.

The two NFL superstars hit up Citizens Bank Park for Game 1 of the NLCS against the Arizona Diamondbacks ... and the crowd was certainly happy to see them -- erupting in cheers as the bros were shown on the scoreboard in the middle of the contest.

Even though the pop singer was nowhere to be found, her presence was still felt -- as her songs were played over the sound system multiple times throughout the night.

Of course, it's not too crazy for the Phillies to show love for T-Swift -- after all, she is a Pennsylvania native ... and has previously professed her allegiance to Jason's Eagles.

Speaking of Jason -- who's beloved in the city amid a Hall of Fame career with the Birds -- he also stole the show when he chugged a beer, much to Travis' delight.

Travis' appearance at the game comes on the heels of his romantic weekend with Swift -- as we previously reported, the couple was inseparable in NYC ... including two date nights and attending "Saturday Night Live."

Taylor has since returned to the west coast ... but Travis decided to hang back for a bit longer.

Don't sweat it, Swifties ... just 'cause Taylor wasn't there with her new man doesn't really mean much -- Jason's wife, Kylie, wasn't there either ... so we take it the guys just wanted to bro out for the night.

A Cornell University professor is in hot water for calling the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel "exhilarating" and "energizing" -- his words, and the crowd's reaction to them, are downright ugly.

Russell Rickford -- who's an associate professor of history there at the Upstate NY Ivy League school -- made the inflammatory remarks over the weekend at a pro-Palestine rally ... which were also caught on camera and circulated on social media.

Cropped versions of this clip have been making the rounds, but even in its full context ... what Rickford says here is pretty despicable. Take a look for yourself -- he starts by saying that Palestinians have been living in oppression for a long time, and that what Hamas carried out two weeks ago (an outright onslaught of innocents) gave them renewed hope.

He says the Hamas attack allowed the Palestinian people a chance to finally breathe -- and makes the bold claim that by doing what they did ... they've "shifted the balance of power."

Bottom line ... this all amounts to a justification for the terrorism, and it sounds like most of the crowd that was on hand was backing him -- chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Of course, his remarks have also drawn outrage on the other side.

Amid the outcry ... Cornell has yet to respond, nor has Rickford himself. Many are calling for his job ... but it's unclear if anything's going to happen on that front.

On the opposite coast, however, a different professor from a separate prestigious school is singing a different tune on this issue -- UC Berkeley law professor Steven Solomon is now calling for students who preach Professor Rickford’s brand of discrimination to be blacklisted.

He wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing as much ... saying that law firms should not hire Berkeley grads who've spewed "hate, dehumanization or anti-Semitism toward Jews" --  which he says some of his Berkeley students have been doing.

He writes, in part ... "My students are largely engaged and well-prepared, and I regularly recommend them to legal employers. But, if you don’t want to hire people who advocate hate and practice discrimination, don’t hire some of my students." He goes on to state that it is the "duty" of law firms to reject job applicants "if they support discriminatory bylaws or other acts and resolutions blaming Jews and Israelis for the Hamas massacre."

A masked gunman was caught on security footage attempting a home invasion in Washington state, rushing up behind a fast-reacting woman, who managed to shut her front door and lock it just before he could gain entry.

Check out the Ring camera video ... it starts with the woman's male companion walking onto a porch and unlocking and opening the door before disappearing into the house in Kent, WA.

Moments later, the woman steps up onto the porch and is about to enter her abode when she suddenly feels someone behind her and spins around.

The ski-masked suspect dashes up to her with a gun in one hand. But the woman is too quick, running inside, slamming the door closed and bolting it.

The would-be intruder desperately tries to force open the door, but his efforts are futile. He then turns and sees the camera recording him, smashing it with the butt of his gun and cutting off the clip.

Michael Jordan got the red carpet rolled out for him at Usher's show over the weekend ... getting prime seats, a shoutout during the concert -- and even a sexy dance from Tiffany Haddish!!!

His Airness pulled up to the "Let It Burn" crooner's performance at Park MGM in Las Vegas on Saturday ... and almost immediately, king treatment commenced.

Jordan, his wife and a couple other friends were walked to some chairs in a VIP area that seemed to feature bottle service.

Then, as Usher was singing, Haddish cruised over to Jordan's group to give the NBA legend a show of her own ... gyrating in front of the former Chicago Bulls star -- while he clapped and laughed.

Usher himself then made sure Jordan felt special in the audience ... pausing his whole act to acknowledge that the hooper was in attendance.

"We love you, Mike," he screamed as everyone went crazy.

Of course, the conduct toward MJ shouldn't surprise anyone ... after all, he's the NBA's G.O.A.T. -- and he and Usher are longtime pals.

In fact, they famously collaborated to make an ultra-rare version of one of Jordan's signature shoes back in 2014 -- kicks that Usher actually broke out during Saturday's show.

"I'm putting them on because I want to be like Mike!" Usher said.

Alicia Keys got dogpiled over a social media post that many took to be antisemitic and sympathetic toward Hamas' attack on Israel ... but she's saying that's not correct at all.

The singer came under a microscope Monday after a since-deleted IG post became the subject of a lot head turns ... and it all had to do with her caption. She threw up a photo of herself in a green jacket, adding ... "What would u do if you weren't afraid of anything???"

She added underneath, "Tell me your truth ... I've had my eyes on paragliding 👀👀"

That alone was enough to spur folks to accuse her of showing support for the terrorism in Israel ... which claimed countless innocent lives. The reason, of course, has to do with the fact that paragliders were used by terrorists that day as an infiltration method.

Like we said ... the backlash was swift and fierce, and tons of people were straight up accusing Alicia of cosigning what happened to all those slain Israelis -- but she set the record straight after seeing all the comments ... and after eventually taking down her post.

In a message later Monday, she clarified ... "The post I shared earlier was COMPLETELY unrelated in any way to the recent devastating loss of innocent lives. My heart has been breaking ... I pray for and stand for peace."

As many people have rightly pointed out ... AK seems to have just been talking about wanting to paraglide, which makes sense considering where she lives down near San Diego. She and her husband, Swizz Beatz, are actually right near a well-known paragliding spot.

Others have also mentioned a controversial decision of hers in 2013 to perform in Israel -- despite some publicly asking her not to. Point is, she clearly meant no harm here.

Blac Chyna and Tyga are at odds over custody of their son King Cairo -- a battle that was pretty obvious from the guest list for King's 11th birthday bash!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage from inside the event which went down Sunday in L.A. ... it was a private party, strictly for close family and friends. Not shockingly, that did NOT include Tyga.

While King's pops wasn't there, we're told roughly 25-30 kids turned out to help KC celebrate ... and Chyna -- or Angela White as she's now known -- belted out the birthday song, complete with the MLK remix.

Chyna's mom Tokyo Toni was also there cutting a rug as the whole party jammed to a Blueface track!!!

Sources inside the shindig tell us it was produced by Royal Game Bus, who kept the kiddos busy all afternoon ... providing them with Oculus Quests, a cotton candy machine, candy bags and all the games they could play.

It's obvious the kids all had a great time, but the same can't be said for King's parents.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained court docs from the latest court bout between Tyga and Angela ... she's petitioning for equal joint custody, but he's not backing down.

Hamas terrorists have released footage of a hostage who was kidnapped amid the Israel attacks ... showing the young girl receiving medical care while asking to be returned home.

21-year-old Mia Schem is seen with her arm bandaged up in the clip posted on Hamas' Telegram channel Monday. She then addressed the camera directly, saying her hand was injured, but underwent surgery by Hamas at a hospital in Gaza.

She claims Hamas has been taking care of her after being taken hostage, allegedly getting medicine from them, too. She says everything is fine, and is asking the terrorists to send her home as soon as possible.

People online haven't been that quick to take Shem's words as truth, by the way ... some have pointed out her speech felt off, and she may have been forced by her captors to claim she was doing alright for the clip.

Shem's mother has been searching for her missing daughter since being abducted last week -- asking online for anyone with the means of being able to search for her kid to do so ... but hadn't heard any info after all this time.

The widow of Stephen "tWitch" Boss, the late DJ on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, is putting their family home on the market ... 10 months after he died.

According to online real estate records Steven's widow, Allison Holker, listed their Encino estate earlier this month for $3,795,000.

The place is 4,600 square feet with 6 bedrooms and it's super modern -- built in 2018, the home has some attractive bells and whistles, including a pool and hot tub in the backyard, plus a wine display and 3 fireplaces.

The main house has 5 suites, and there's a pool house out back with its own private bathroom.

There's a chef's kitchen in the heart of the open floor plan ... with a center island and top-of-the-line appliances, plus a butler's pantry with its own sink, dishwasher and stove.

Stephen and Allison bought the place back in 2019, when they paid $2.75 million ... and they partnered with Pottery Barn to decorate the place.

Anthony Paradise of Sotheby's holds the listing.

TMZ broke the story ... Stephen died by suicide back in December. Ellen expressed her intense heartbreak after his death and he left a suicide note referencing past challenges.

The mother of "The Sandlot" star Marty York shared her concerns online not long before she was murdered ... speaking out about the mental health of her boyfriend -- the man Marty believes killed her.

Marty's mom, Deanna Esmaeel, wrote in a schizophrenia support group on Facebook earlier this month, asking, "Anyone else here have spouse or significant other with schizophrenia .. mine doesn't trust me and accuses me of cheating constantly."

She went on to claim she's been on the receiving end of name-calling and him "becoming physical for no reason" ... referring to her boyfriend, Daniel James Walter.

Deanna also left a comment last week on someone's post, who asked how others deal with the abuse coming from a schizophrenic partner.

She replied, "You will learn to see a pattern in his behavior. When you see the pattern initiate put in earplugs or headphones and turn up the music. Don't listen. Keep smiling."

She told the anonymous asker the abusive reactions weren't reflective of their partner's feelings, adding, "I get mine to smoke pot as cannabis actually stops the episode and redirects it."

TMZ broke the story, Deanna was found dead Thursday inside her home, with the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office -- where she was a deputy -- putting out an alert to help track down Walter.

PD said Walter was a suspect, but officers were only able to locate his car ... although he was later captured in Oregon.

"Happy Gilmore" star Christopher McDonald may have been a bit over-served at the Bills game on Sunday ... 'cause he appeared to be very intoxicated -- stumbling and swaying while inside the stadium's concourse.

Check out this video obtained by TMZ Sports ... the actor -- who played Shooter McGavin in Adam Sandler's blockbuster golf flick -- looked like he could hardly stand during Buffalo's contest with the New York Giants at Highmark Stadium.

In the footage, which was taken at halftime of the game, McDonald can be seen nearly falling down some stairs ... before two men helped save him from a face plant.

He was also spotted in the clip needing some further assistance from the guys as he wobbled back to his seat -- all while several people yelled "Shooter!" at him.

One witness at the game tells us McDonald -- a diehard Bills supporter -- was then seen inside of a suite getting water from pals.

We've reached out to a rep for McDonald for comment, but so far, no word back yet.
