Chilling video of the shark attack on a child at a Bahamas resort shows the 10-year-old boy screaming in pain ... as his family panics to get him out of the water.

TMZ obtained video of the moment a shark in one of the tanks at the Atlantis Bahamas resort on Paradise Island took a bite out of a 10-year-old boy from Maryland ... a freak accident that's been absolutely horrifying to hear about, but which can now be seen.

Watch ... another family is filming the shark tank and water slide, when suddenly -- they hear screams from the opposite side  ... with people hurriedly surfacing from an underwater experience with nurse and reef sharks.

Shrieks fill the air and folks start calling for help ... and the boy is pulled to the edge of the tank and dragged out of the water. It appears staffers immediately started tending to him.

The shark attack went down Monday, with the Royal Bahamas Police Force saying the boy was bitten on the right leg, and taken to a hospital in stable condition. The extent of his injuries is unknown -- but on its face, it looks and sounds incredibly painful.

The resort's swimming with sharks experience, which is operated by an outside company, has since shut down ... at least temporarily. Makes sense -- ya gotta imagine this might spook folks for a bit.

Richard Simmons made very clear this week that he doesn't approve of Pauly Shore making a movie about him/his life -- but Pauly thinks he'll win the guy over ... eventually.

The actor touched down at the Salt Lake City Int'l Airport Thursday, where he's in town for the Sundance Film Festival that's going down this weekend in neighboring Park City. Right off the bat, photogs on hand were ready to pepper him with questions about this film of his.

Of course, the big one being ... do you think it's right to proceed with this Richard Simmons biopic -- even though the man himself hasn't given his blessing ... explicitly so.

Check out Pauly's take here, 'cause he touches on a few different things. For starters, he thinks RS might be singing this tune today ... but could well be feeling completely different about it by tomorrow. More importantly, though, he thinks intention is everything with this.

From Pauly's view, he's not coming from a vindictive place -- and he vows to do Richard justice in his portrayal of him. He also says straight up ... build it, and they'll come!

Pauly goes on to explain that he genuinely believes once Richard can see this new short film of his -- on which the forthcoming biopic will be based -- RS will come around to seeing his things his way, basically suggesting the work will be good ... and it'll be done right by Rich.

Bottom line for Pauly here ... people love Richard, and they also love him -- and he says folks are itching to see both of them make a comeback in a big way.

His question is ... what's wrong with giving the people what they want?!?

Pole vaulter Shawn Barber -- a 3x NCAA champion who also competed in the Olympics -- died on Wednesday. He was only 29 years old.

Barber's agent Paul Doyle made the devastating announcement earlier today on social media, calling Barber "a friend that will never be forgotten."

The cause of death is unknown but reports indicate Barber was dealing with health issues.

Barber, while at the University of Akron, won back-to-back NCAA indoor championships in 2014 and 2015, and the 2015 outdoor championship. Shawn also placed first in the 2015 World Championships in Beijing and the Pan American Games that same year.

He also set the Canadian indoor record with a vault of 6 meters in 2016 ... a record that still stands 'til this day.

Barber also in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro ... where he placed 10th in subpar weather conditions.

As news of his passing spread, fans and fellow competitors alike paid tribute to Barber, including star Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones who's heartbroken over the death.

"The last time I saw him was years ago in Poland. We all hung out after the race," Jones said on IG.

"Praying for his family right now."

Kid Cudi is telling all on his mended friendship with Kanye West ... and explaining exactly why he ended up forgiving the guy after an ugly falling out.

The rapper hopped on Apple Music's Zane Lowe podcast and got into the topic in depth -- explaining he and Ye are, in fact, cool now .... noting it's because Kanye sincerely apologized to him -- which is major, as he doesn't easily dish out mea culpas.

KC adds that working with someone shrouded in controversy is complicated ... but at the end of the day, he considers Kanye his brother -- and it's always siblings that hurt each other the most ... but he'll always have his family's back.

Plus, he says fans love the two of them working together ... and Cudi's well aware of that.

You'll recall ... Kanye and Cudi feuded through all of 2022 and most of 2023 -- Ye was fuming when Cudi remained pals with Pete Davidson as he dated his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

In return, Cudi labeled him a dinosaur in the music industry and swore he'd never work with him again. At the time, it certainly felt like things were over between them ... for good.

But, through much reflection, Cudi tells Zane here that he wouldn't be where he is today if it weren't for Kanye ... cause he championed him in his early career ... doing him huge favors such as paying for his "Day 'n' Nite" music video when he had no record deal.

He's also adamant that there's a good man underneath Ye's shocking behavior and abhorrent rants ... admitting he might not be able to bounce back from some stuff he's said, but he's praying for him.

Indiana Jones is back already, but Harrison Ford ain't pickin' up the whip ... not even in the digital world!

Bethesda Softworks released the trailer for its upcoming video game "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" on Thursday, and fans couldn't help but notice ... Indy sounds a bit different.

That's because Ford -- who played the role in all film/TV content -- isn't lending his voice to the project ... instead it's Troy Baker, who's kinda like the Harrison Ford of the video game world. Yep, he's that iconic.

Just check out the guy's credits ... "The Last of Us," 'Mortal Kombat,' "BioShock," "Halo 4," 'Resident Evil' and "Call of Duty: Black Ops" ... plus he voiced freakin' Batman in one series!

And, fan reactions are .... overwhelmingly positive (not a small feat when it comes to the gaming community.) People who know Baker's work love the casting and those who don't were still blown away by the trailer - 'cause he's doing one heck of an impression.

It's unclear exactly why Harrison isn't coming back to the role. Could be money -- video games don't have the same budgets as blockbuster films -- or it could be that Han Solo's keeping to the promises he made during his press tour for "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" ... namely, that he's finished with Indy, and he's moving on to bigger and better.

One such quote that really says it all ... when asked if it was bittersweet leaving the character HF replied, "No. It’s time for me to grow up." So, it definitely sounds like a dude who's hanging his old archeologist's hat.

Harrison's got other roles to kick ass at BTW ... he just received a Critics Choice Award nom for his work as Dr. Paul Rhoades in "Shrinking," and he's got two Marvel projects on the way -- dude's pretty busy for an 81 year old.

A golf fan had to a get himself a new drink at a PGA Tour event on Thursday ... and it's all 'cause one of the pros hit his approach shot right into his cup.

The crazy moment happened just minutes ago out at The American Express tournament in La Quinta, Calif. ... when Adam Schenk was attempting to hit one of his first-round shots close to the green on the 16th hole.

The 31-year-old, however, pushed his ball to the right ... and when it came crashing down from the sky, it improbably landed in a spectator's beverage!!

The guy holding the cup was stunned ... but in perhaps even more shocking news, once Schenk fished the ball out of the dude's refreshment -- he birdied the hole!!

No word yet if Schenk replaced the fan's drink -- or if he gave him some cash to go grab another one.

It's the home that just won't sell, but Sofia Vergara's giving it another go ... relisting her Beverly Hills mansion with a massive price drop to woo a buyer.

The 7-bedroom abode has been through a few price reductions since going up for sale in 2022 for $19.6M ... even being taken off the market earlier this month ... and now it's being relisted for $13,950,000. If you're not good at math -- that's a big dip!

The $5.7M price drop is undoubtedly an attempt on Sofia's end to get rid of the property ... as it's the home she once shared with her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello.

The pair announced their divorce in July 2023 ... but while things didn't work out for them personally, at least they were living it up in style. That much is clear from these photos.

The spectacular BH estate is steeped in exceptional elegance and complete privacy ... boasting a brand-spankin' new chef's kitchen, 11,000 sq ft of living space, and hardwood floors.

It's also got a full-sized gym, a resort-like backyard with a pool and spa, a movie theater, and even a wine room. It sounds like a steal for the new price tag!

A photo of Donald Trump's hand sparked a ton of speculation about his health on the internet ... but now, TMZ has some clarity -- at least from Trump World's POV.

Here's the deal ... DT was leaving the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial on Wednesday in NYC when he raised a hand to wave to his loyal followers who were stationed outside the courthouse ... and something bright red caught the attention of photogs.

It's hard to make out exactly what it is -- but some thought it looked like blisters or sores of some sort ... and of course, the internet went crazy with theories when they saw it, with many attempting to diagnose the former Prez with just about every ailment under the sun.

Interestingly, he surfaced from court later the same day on Wednesday ... and the so-called red hand was a little more normal-looking that time around. It was very, very weird.

Anyway, we talked to some folks and sources tied to the Trump campaign are telling us a different story than what people think they saw in the OG pic. We're told the only thing that was afflicting Trump that day was a simple paper cut, and he accidentally spread the blood around his hand. Yep, that's what the Trump camp is saying here ... just a little nick.

While that might sound hard to believe, it might actually be the truth -- again, DT came out with his hand seemingly cleared up and free of any abrasions ... so maybe it was just blood.

BTW, he was out again in public Thursday ... and there was no sign of any redness on his right hand from what we could see. As we reported, he attended his mother-in-law's funeral with Melania and his son Barron Thursday morning.

We're in the home stretch of the Republican campaign now ... every little detail's gonna drive the public freakin' crazy -- especially for a guy who loves talking about his hands like ex-POTUS.

1:44 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that Arnold Schwarzenegger's prized Audemars Piguet watch found a buyer at the auction today -- and the price it went for is pretty staggering.

We're told the timepiece ended up going for 270,000 euros ... which translates to about $293k in greenbacks. Remember, this thing was valued at around $100,000 or so -- and you gotta wonder if Arnold's escapade with it in Germany boosted its value among bidders.

They raised a total of 1.3 million euros at the fundraiser -- which is a record for the org!! This is especially big because the fundraisers in Europe don't generally raise as much as they do in the U.S.

In any case, it's all going toward a great cause ... the cash goes toward Arnold's Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative. You're welcome, Mother Earth!!!

Arnold Schwarzenegger's customs detention was a serious matter that held him in Germany -- but now that he's where he needs to be ... the dude's cracking jokes, kinky ones too!

The Terminator finally made it to his big auction in Austria Thursday -- where he took the stage at the famed Stanglwirt Resort ... where he was hosting a bidding war on behalf of his Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, with that pricey watch being one of the items.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, where AS is intro'd and comes out to address everyone in the room. The dude dives right into what happened to him at the Munich airport.

He was in a real fun mood -- 'cause Arnold basically did a couple minutes of stand-up comedy here ... joking about the fact he'd been handcuffed the day prior, but noting it had nothing to do with the customs thing. Instead, he pins it on a hot night with his GF. 😅

Yep, he's in full dad-joke mode here ... and the hits just kept coming. Arnold went on to say that the guys in customs were actually looking for a 2nd watch in their search of his stuff -- but they never found it, and he suggests it's because he put it where the sun don't shine.

Arnie got some laughs, for sure ... and he was working the room like a seasoned comic. BTW, we're told this event was packed -- upwards of 350 people were there, and he ended up talking for a total of 8 minutes, not entirely about the Germany incident of course.

Unclear if Arnold ended up selling off the Audemars Piguet watch in question -- which, BTW, had a starting bid of 50,000 euros! -- but at least he rattled off some good one-liners.

Gotta love Arnold, man ... dude knows how to tell a good story.

There's a crazy thing happening along the southern border -- migrants attempting to enter the United States with their dogs are forced to leave them behind, and it's creating a whole other crisis.

FNC reporter Matt Finn is on the ground in Eagle Pass, Texas and joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live" to reveal what he's seeing firsthand ... and how he and other TV crews are getting involved, and taking some of the dogs in themselves.

Matt says tons of migrants are trying to cross the border with their dogs, only to be told they can't bring the pups with them to federal processing centers ... resulting in strays roaming the border.

The circumstances leave dogs in need of food, water and shelter ... and Matt says troops with the National Guard are taking care of some of the doggos ... and he and his producer have helped out too.

Some dogs have ticks, fleas and worms ... and Matt tells us at least one vet in town is caring for them pro bono.

Matt's seen this tragedy play out before in other areas along the border ... getting a handful of dogs rehomed.

Pierce Brosnan is unbothered by hot spring allegations -- in fact, he's the exact opposite ... apparently feeling fabulous here in sunny California ... miles from his legal woes in Wyoming.

The longtime Bond actor was out and about in Malibu Wednesday ... cementing his trailblazing sense of style in a navy blazer, matching scarf, and shades. Of course, he was also flashing a huge smile while hitting the town there ... no sense of guilt at all!

Pierce had a leftover bag in hand after leaving a lunch meeting at Lucky's restaurant ... and yes, his confidence is palpable -- as is his incredible fashion sense. Dude's looking sharp.

It's interesting that he's walking around without an apparent care in the world like this -- remember, he just entered a not guilty plea in his Wyoming case, where officials are accusing him of trespassing at the Yellowstone National Park ... claiming he waded into the hot springs area, which actually seems to be backed by a photo of him in a similar surrounding.

Everyone thought he'd cop to it and pay whatever fine they'd throw at him -- but now, PB has indicated he plans to put up a fight of some sort. BTW, the judge in his case granted his request for a virtual conference on Feb 20 instead of an in-person court appearance.

As we previously reported ... authorities cited 007 last month for allegedly going off-trail near Mammoth Hot Springs on Nov 1 -- violating several closures.

Josh Giddey might be in the clear legally, but he is still under his employer's microscope -- the NBA's review into claims he had an improper relationship with a minor remains ongoing, TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us nothing has changed as far as the Association is concerned ... despite Newport Beach PD recently closing its investigation without the 21-year-old Oklahoma City Thunder guard being charged.

As we previously reported, the Giddey case ended after officials found no corroborating evidence ... as the minor and her family declined to speak with officials.

"After a thorough and exhaustive examination, we have completed our investigation into information that was circulating on social media involving Josh Giddey," Newport Beach PD said in a statement.

"Our detectives have reviewed all of the available information and were unable to corroborate any criminal activity related to Mr. Giddey."

Adam Silver said in December the league would take a "backseat" while police conducted its investigation ... so with that being over, it sounds like the NBA is grabbing the wheel once again.

Giddey has not spoken on the scandal ... and has remained active for the Thunder throughout both investigations.

1/18/23 -- Ice Spice's attorney, Leon Morabia, tells TMZ …“The claim is baseless. We will vigorously defend this case and look forward to our day in court when we will be fully vindicated.”

Ice Spice is being dragged to court over her hit song "In Ha Mood" ... 'cause a rapper and his producer are accusing her of straight up ripping off their work.

Ice Spice is being sued for copyright infringement by D.Chamberz, who says he wrote, recorded and released a song called "In That Mood" a year before her famous single.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, D.Chamberz says he released his song on all major digital platforms in January 2022 and he thinks Ice Spice's producer heard it on the radio way before her song came out.

He claims Ice Spice's song copies the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement, and narrative context of his track.

As for how "In That Mood" allegedly appeared on Ice Spice's radar ... D.Chamberz claims he performed it dozens of times in NYC in venues near where Ice and her producer, Riot, reside.

D.Chamberz also says his song got airplay on Hot 97 FM in NYC, and he thinks it's more likely than not Riot was tuning in ... and he says there are social media receipts backing his claim.

Ice Spice's song is certified gold and the music video has more than 45 million views on YouTube ... and D.Chamberz wants at least half of the song's publishing and other revenue ... plus damages.

We reached out to Ice Spice's camp ... so far no word back.

Cassie is getting back to regular life after settling her human trafficking lawsuit against Diddy ... and her first official order of biz is a fashion show in France.

The singer popped up Wednesday at Paris Fashion Week ... making an appearance at the LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi Menswear fashion show ... and she was looking like a straight-up model who was ready to hit the runway.

In fact, it looks like she might've actually gone down the catwalk at one point -- if this photo is any indication. Cassie went with an all-black outfit, with super dark eye shadow behind her black sunglasses ... and it looks like she meant business.

It's the first time we've seen Cassie at a public event since she settled her explosive suit with Diddy for an undisclosed sum.

Cassie was spotted in public in Connecticut back in November immediately following the rape lawsuit settlement ... but as far as official events, Paris Fashion Week is the first for her as she starts a new chapter.

Meanwhile, Diddy's stepped out from the spotlight ... as he's been hit with other lawsuits accusing him of rape/sexual assault, allegations he's vehemently denied at every juncture.

Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade have been rumored to be on the outs -- but we know that's simply not the case ... 'cause the couple's hanging out as he gets ready for a big show.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us JE and OJ are most certainly not broken up -- despite a report claiming otherwise -- and more importantly ... we're told they're literally together in NYC right now, this as Jake goes through rehearsals this week ahead of his 'SNL' gig.

Per production sources ... Olivia has been seen this week in and around 30 Rockefeller Plaza, and we're even told Olivia's been spotted near Jacob's dressing room.

We know Jacob and the 'SNL' team are running through what they're going to put on Saturday -- evidenced in photos, videos and behind-the-scenes clips they're posting on social media -- and it sounds like Olivia Jade is in the mix back there as well with her BF.

The reason folks assumed they'd split -- aside from the report claiming they had -- was because Olivia appeared to have unfollowed Jacob on Instagram ... but TBH, it's unclear if they were even following each other, to begin with.

Jacob and Olivia have been dating for at least a few years now -- and while they did reportedly break up once before ... they ended up getting back together, and we're hearing they continue to be an item right now.

Part of the reason, perhaps, that people are speculating about their status might lie in the fact that Jacob has had a huge year in his career -- starring in two critically acclaimed films ... and paving a path for himself as a bona fide A-lister, outside of his "Euphoria" run.

Again, this all started with people seeing an alleged "unfollow" and the rumors kicked into high gear after that. From what our sources are telling us though ... Olivia's right by Jacob's side as we speak, and she'll probably be hanging around through the weekend as well.

Of course, it'd be big news if either she or Elordi were single ... they're both smoking hot and would be one of the bigger eligible bachelors/bachelorettes on the young Hollywood market.

For the time being, though ... people oughta hold their horses, 'cause they're still on.

Jennifer Hudson and Common have a strong bond between them ... they were holding hands and joined at the hip sitting courtside at a Lakers game.

The couple strolled hand in hand into Crypto Arena for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, plopping down in their seats for a front-row experience ... and looking pretty fashionable.

J-Hud and Common's date night is proof they're still going strong as a pair ... they were smiling and chatting, and Jennifer even introduced Common to another couple sitting beside her.

LeBron James and the Lakers won in a blowout, 127-110, and Jennifer and Common hit the exits together before the final buzzer ... saying goodbye to some folks on their way out.

Jennifer and Common have been together for a while now, and this outing means they're showing no signs of slowing down. He's said they might make a record together eventually, but it's got to happen organically.
