Madonna suffered a mishap onstage this weekend ... which saw her go toppling backward in the middle of the show -- but thankfully, she seemed to be okay.

The singer was in the middle of performing Sunday night at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle -- her latest stop on the "Celebration" tour -- and while she was belting out "Open Your Heart," she and one of her backup dancers attempted this choreographed move on a chair.

In video obtained by TMZ, you can see Madge sitting in the chair -- which her dancer tilts back ... only to lose control and send his boss straight to the floor. It stunned the crowd.

Unclear what exactly went wrong here ... but from the looks of it, the dude lost his grip as he was dragging her back down the stage plank, and it ended with Madonna on her back.

Madge was laying there for a quick sec, but the show went on ... with her dancer continuing to strut his stuff -- and Madonna herself eventually rising to her feet and keeping it going.

Funny enough ... something similar happened at yet another concert of hers recently -- only it wasn't the pop star in the chair, but rather ... Old Saint Nick, who took quite a tumble.

Chair routines onstage -- pretty tricky, and seem to end with folks laid out on their ass.

Kevin Costner's divorce was as ugly as they come -- and much of it had to do with claims of infidelity on both sides ... something denied by all sides and featured in a new 'TMZ Investigates.'

The A-lister's split from his wife, Christine Baumgartner, kickstarted with unfounded rumors of KC impregnating someone on the set of "Yellowstone"  -- something we dive into in detail in a new documentary airing Monday on FOX, 'Kevin Costner's Divorce War.'

Now, when it comes to CB herself -- there were rumblings of alleged cheating as well ... on two different fronts, actually. There was a guy who was staying in their guest house -- whom she was alleged to have slept with -- he shut that down, saying it never happened.

There was also Josh Connor ... a friend of Kevin and Christine who -- as soon as they were in the midst of divorce -- started to hang out a lot with Christine on vacations. Again, sources connected to both of them say there was absolutely nothing romantic going on before or during the divorce.

OnlyFans model and Fortnite gamer Corinna Kopf has a mess to go through when she gets home ... because her place in Los Angeles got hit by burglars.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Corinna's home was burglarized last week, with thieves smashing through glass to get inside her house.

We're told the incident went down while Corinna was out of town ... and she got a notification on her phone that someone had broken into her place.

Cops say someone from Corinna’s team notified police, who rushed up to her pad ... but by the time cops and her people got there, the burglars were gone.

Unclear what, if anything, was stolen and how much those items might be worth. Cops say Corinna will go through her belongings when she gets home to figure out what's missing.

We're told police are reviewing video from the home and looking around the neighborhood for more footage ... the case remains under investigation and there have been no arrests.

It looks like Corinna's pretty far from home ... her social media posts indicate she's down in Australia.

There's a piece of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy on the market ... a book he inscribed to a nurse who helped save his life following an assassination attempt.

MLK signed a copy of his book, "Stride Toward Freedom," and wrote a personalized note to Gwen Brown, thanking her for caring for him at Harlem Hospital after his 1958 stabbing.

The autographed copy is going up for sale over at Moments In Time ... with a $35,000 price tag.

MLK was actually at a book signing for this very book at Blumstein's Department Store in Harlem when Izola Ware Curry approached him and stabbed him in the chest with a steel letter opener.

The stab wound was so close to MLK's aorta he would have died if he sneezed or coughed on his way to the hospital. With Gwen's help, MLK made a full recovery.

MLK's note to Gwen reads ... "With best wishes and genuine appreciation for the attention you gave me as one of my nurses while I recuperated at Harlem Hospital."

Before this cool kiddo in his beanie and gloves was mixin' tunes and hypin' up the crowd, he was just playing the piano, hitting his drums and making the fluffiest of snow balls in Dansenberg, Germany.

This international star has quite the resume to back up his global success ... working with some of music's hottest stars like Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas. Perhaps if you saw this guy gettin' fit on Instagram with his shirt off, you'd have more clarity.

"If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?"

Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey stripped to their bathing suits and hit a Mexico beach ... taking a vacay after a bitter Super Bowl loss.

The engaged couple headed down to Cabo San Lucas with 49ers tight end George Kittle, fullback Kyle Juszczyk and their wives Claire and Kristin ... where they soaked up the sun in some pretty revealing bathing suits.

Check out the pics ... the whole crew's milling about on the sand before hopping in the clear blue ocean for a dip -- lots of pecs and legs for all to see.

Christian and Olivia seem pretty deep in convo in the water too -- maybe talking about wedding planning ... after all, they've been engaged for almost a year, so ya gotta imagine the wedding's comin' up!

On top of the Niners players and their significant others, Peyton Manning was also down in the same area ... though as far as we can tell he kept his shirt on. He chatted up GK, KJ and CMC at a bar near the beach.

All of this messing around in the water comes just a week after the devastating 25-22 loss to the Chiefs in the NFL's biggest game of the year ... the Niners' second loss in a Super Bowl in the last five years.

The whole trip seems to be one big healing retreat for the gang ... with Claire, Olivia and Kristin even posting a video to OC's TikTok about how much the L was affecting all of them -- though they seem in decent enough spirits.

Usher and Justin Timberlake draw a lot of comparisons ... but Usher says he's got a leg up on his counterpart -- 'cause he beat him in a Justin Bieber bidding war.

The singer-songwriter revealed in an interview with People that, way back in 2008, he met Bieber and Scooter Braun and offered to bring JB onto his record label ... but first, he said he had to pull out a thicker wad of cash than Timberlake.

Usher said he also used Timberlake's name against him, telling Justin that -- if he went with Usher -- he'd be the only Justin around.

Seems like the war didn't get too contentious ... Usher doesn't say anything negative about Timberlake in the interview -- and actually compliments the guy tons.

Usher said he and Justin are both unique artists, and he loves the producers Timberlake chooses to work with ... adding he even wants to collaborate on an album with the former *NSYNC star.

He finished off by saying he's motivated by people like Timberlake who "should be recognized for who he is and what his contribution has been."

Of course, Usher was recognized for his contribution to music by headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show ... one which his protege decided to skip out on.

We broke the story ... Usher reached out to Bieber directly to get him to join him for his big performance -- but, while Alicia Keys, Ludacris and Lil Jon all hopped onstage with him, Justin decided to sit in his suite and spectate.

No bad blood between the two though ... 'cause Usher said in an interview earlier this week that "he's just wanting to tell a different story right now, and I understand that."

Travis Kelce's got a ton of free time until next year's NFL season starts ... but, he's still hanging around K.C. instead of jetting off to see his lady love down undah.

The three-time Super Bowl champ was photographed by Daily Mail hitting up one of his fav restaurants in Kansas City with a to-go bag in hand ... Taylor Swift was not by his side obviously since she's down in Australia on tour.

Travis looks relaxed in the DM pics ... having a grand ol' time while hanging out with a pal in the hot Missouri sun -- which might be surprising to fans who thought he'd be down in Australia already.

TK did a bunch of press leading up to the Super Bowl BTW ... including one interview where he said he would love to experience "Down Under" -- so him not already being down there's definitely raising some eyebrows.

Remember ... Swift performed a string of shows in Melbourne this past weekend -- including one right on the heels of the death of a fan who was headed to see her.

It's been an emotional weekend to say the least -- Taylor also opened up about feeling "lonely" during the pandemic ... which some people are seeing as a pretty clear shot at her ex Joe Alwyn.

Of course, Travis has been on his own emotional rollercoaster recently. The high of winning the Super Bowl was followed almost immediately by the tragic shooting at the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City.

Both Taylor and Travis have donated thousands in the aftermath of the shooting ... so, clearly the tragedy is still weighing on both of their minds.

Don't worry too much Swifties ... 'cause Taylor's got a few more shows in Australia next weekend, moving on from Melbourne to Sydney. So, Travis has plenty of time to meet up with T-Swift.

Zachery Ty Bryan has been arrested for a suspected DUI ... TMZ has confirmed.

Online records show Bryan, 42, was booked by La Quinta Police early Saturday morning for driving under the influence with three or more priors. He was also booked for contempt of court, a misdemeanor.

A spokesperson for the La Quinta Sheriff's Department tells TMZ ... cops conducted a traffic stop just after 2 AM after they saw a vehicle they suspected of being involved in a traffic collision.

The officers say they spoke to the driver -- later identified as Bryan -- who allegedly showed signs of impairment leading to his arrest. Bryan's next court date is set for April 23.

This marks just the latest in a long string of legal issues Bryan's faced over the last few years. ZTB was arrested back in 2020 for allegedly strangling his then-girlfriend ... he pled guilty the following year to menacing and assault in the fourth degree.

And, just last year, Zachery was arrested last summer after police got a call about a dispute between a male and female.

Bryan had left the scene of the alleged incident but was later tracked down and arrested for felony assault, in violation of the Abuse Prevention Act. He reportedly pled guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree in October and was sentenced to seven days in jail.

No one is living in a Barbie World over in the United Kingdom tonight ... 'cause "Barbie" just got shut out at the British Academy Film Awards.

The biggest blockbuster of last summer was up for five awards at the show Sunday -- Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay along with a couple other design awards.

Unfortunately, the film's creators are walking away without a single one -- going 0-for-5 at the ceremony that's usually a pretty good indication of the way Academy Awards voters are gonna lean.

"Barbie" isn't the only awards season darling that got snubbed tonight BTW ... Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" lost all nine of its nominations while "Maestro" didn't win one of its seven awards.

But, the "Barbie" snubs feel the most significant ... given the firestorm that popped off after Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie weren't nominated for Best Director and Best Actress respectively.

Remember ... everyone from random X users to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chimed in on "Barbie" not receiving those particular nominations.

Margot later broke her silence on Greta's snub ... even more poignant since GG was left off the nomination list for the BAFTAs as well.

Chrisean Rock seems to be responding to a lawsuit on social media ... penning an angry tweet calling out an unnamed person for wasting money on a lawyer.

The rapper took to X to vent her frustration in an expletive-laden tweet calling out a "big back bitch n****" for going after her money -- and saying this person's not getting a cent.

Now, Chrisean didn't say exactly to whom she was referring ... but we do know she's involved in one major lawsuit right now over an alleged assault at Tamar Braxton's show back in November.

As we reported ... TV personality James Wright is suing Chrisean for allegedly assaulting him backstage at Braxton's concert. He claims she left him with multiple face lacerations and two broken teeth.

Wright was reportedly hospitalized after the show in Downtown Los Angeles ... and Tamar later opened up about the alleged incident during an emotional Instagram Live.

We also got video of Chrisean breaking up a prayer circle before the concert ... but sources told us this had no bearing on the alleged incident -- and everyone laughed off the moment.

Despite the lawsuit, Chrisean seems pretty committed to keeping her money where it is ... at least if her tweet is any indication.

Ben Lanzarone -- a composer behind music in hit shows like "The Love Boat" and "Happy Days" -- has died ... TMZ has confirmed.

Ben's wife, actress Ilene Graff tells TMZ ... Ben passed away peacefully in his sleep Friday after a battle with lung cancer.

Graff says she was with Ben -- to whom she was married for more than 45 years -- when he died.

While many people might not know Ben's name, they definitely know the music he helped create ... with his work appearing in many iconic shows from the '70s,'80s & '90s.

Among them ... "The Love Boat," "Happy Days," "Dynasty," "Mork and Mindy," "Laverne and Shirley," "The Tracey Ullman Show," "The Colbys," and "Mr. Belevdere."

Ben and Ilene met on the set of "Grease" -- where Ben worked on the music video for "Summer Nights" -- and later worked together on 'Belvedere' where Ilene played Marsha Cameron Owens for 118 episodes.

Ben was honored with the ASCAP's Most Performed Underscore Award in 1986 and is survived by Ilene and his daughter Nikka.

Ben was 85.

Offset might've spent Valentine's Day with estranged wife Cardi B ... but it seems he's enjoying some alone time on the weekend -- gambling away down in Florida.

We got video of the rapper at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida playing cards on his own Saturday night.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... Offset played for about two or three hours, tossing down an average of between $1,500 and $2,000 a hand.

We're told he wasn't playing a high-limit table ... but, we're told that didn't stop him from dropping a few grand -- pretty obvious from the frustrated expression on his face.

Offset lettin' it ride comes at the end of a pretty noteworthy week in his love life ... we broke the story, the estranged couple grabbed dinner at Carbone in Miami Beach on the day of love -- trying to stagger their entrances to avoid drawing attention.

Didn't exactly work out ... the dinner caused a flurry of speculation about the estranged couple -- who've admitted to getting it on recently -- but, as far as we know, the pair aren't back together.

The couple announced they were splitting up at the beginning of December, but they've seemingly kept things amicable -- spending major holidays with the kids. So dinner on V-Day sans children raised some eyebrows.

Dakota Johnson's "Madame Web" had its strands snipped during its opening week ... tanking at the box office -- and recent interviews might deserve some blame.

The running total for the six-day holiday weekend -- beginning Valentine's Day and ending tomorrow on President's Day -- is just $25.8 million domestically and about the same amount globally ... an abysmal opening for a major superhero flick.

In fact, The Hollywood Reporter claims it's the worst opening for a Sony movie featuring Spider-Man-related characters ... and continues the trend of underperforming superhero movies from both Marvel and DC.

It's not just a case of people not showing up to the theater either ... 'cause most people who see "Madame Web" are trashing the film online.

'MW' now holds a 13% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and only has a 55% audience score on the review aggregator .. neither living up to the usual superhero hype.

There are a whole lotta reasons why this movie's bombing ... bad reviews certainly chief among them -- though it seems Dakota didn't do the film any favors with her recent promotional tour.

As we previously reported ... Dakota said she hasn't seen the movie during an interview in the UK -- while also essentially saying she's got no plans to watch it any time soon.

When asked about Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man' movies, Dakota made a joke about their titles, including one she framed like a 'Harry Potter' title -- though it seems obvious she hadn't seen or researched them at all.

Basically, she gave some people the impression she really didn't care about the movie much -- a cardinal sin among committed comic book fanatics.

Granted, Madame Web isn't a big Marvel character, so the built-in audience for this movie doesn't seem to have been there ... but DJ's somewhat cringey interviews probably didn't help the movie either.

Taylor Swift gave a preview of what's to come with her upcoming album, telling a packed house in Melbourne she was "lonely" during the quarantine ... and it's a clear shot at Joe Alwyn.

Just before TS sang "Betty" -- a song written during the pandemic -- she painted herself as a "ghostly Victorian lady" ... joking it was a departure from a "lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair, drinking my weight in white wine."

Joe co-wrote some of the songs on the album -- "Folklore" -- and also helped produce it.

The fact that she described herself as lonely speaks volumes, and forecasts what she'll sing about in her soon-to-be-released album "The Tortured Poets Department." Fans expect her to scorch Joe, with whom she broke up in April, 2023.

Taylor's had a tough week ... a 16-year-old fan died a few days ago en route to her Eras concert in Melbourne. And, as you know, she's been a huge Kansas City Chiefs booster, and donated $100k to the family of the woman who was shot and killed after the Super Bowl parade shooting.

Unclear when Travis Kelce will join her on the tour.

Steph Curry's leaving no doubt ... he's the greatest three-point shooter of all time -- gender be damned.

The Golden State Warriors sharpshooter faced off with WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu for a head-to-head three-point contest during NBA All-Star Game weekend ... going shot for shot beyond the arc.

SC won the contest 29-26, but that's no knock on SI's performance ... 'cause her 26 points tied Damian Lillard's number from the NBA three-point contest that took place earlier in the evening -- and, he won the whole dang thing.

BTW ... Sabrina backed up and shot from NBA three-point distance, adding about a foot and a half to where she normally shoots for the New York Liberty. She did use the slightly smaller WNBA ball to shoot.

Curry's an expert on three-pointers ... he's a two-time winner of the NBA contest -- on top of holding the record for most career threes made.

After the contest, the two competitors were incredibly complimentary of each other. Steph said Sabrina's presence at the event would inspire a whole lotta kids to keep chasing basketball dreams while Sabrina applauded Steph for showing her respect by competing against her.

That doesn't mean there wasn't a little gamesmanship before the contest ... with Sabrina telling reporters Steph was talkin' some trash during a practice round before the event.

The Splash Bro reigns supreme ... but Sabrina also said she's jonesing for a rematch. FWIW, next year's All-Star Game is being hosted by the Warriors.
