Darryl Strawberry's back to feeling 100 percent --- and he couldn't be happier about it ... revealing to TMZ Sports this week he nearly died from the heart attack he suffered in March.

The Mets legend opened up to us about his medical scare while out in NYC ... and he said things got so bad with his heart at the time of the emergency, doctors couldn't believe he survived.

"My heart was pumping at 40 percent," said Strawberry, who described the heart attack as a "massive" one. "So, there was a lot going on. There was not a lot of blood flowing through my heart at that particular time."

We're just getting over the hump in the week, but we're still rolling with some fire TV takes.

Let's start out on "TMZ Live" ... where Harvey and Charles discussed the latest development in the Diddy saga -- namely, the fact that a grand jury has been convened in the ongoing federal investigation ... and that prosecutors are apparently bringing in witnesses to talk.

American actor Max Thieriot was just a teen when he played Seth Plummer -- the teenager attempting to exile his new caretaker after losing his dad -- in the 2005  family comedy film "The Pacifier."

Max shared the big screen with Brittany Snow as the popular, pretty teenager who looks after her 4 younger siblings, Zoe Plummer, Vin Diesel the FBI agent now looking after the kids, Shane, and Lauren Graham as the caring principal who falls in love with Shane, Claire.

Just one year prior, Max made his acting debut, co-starring in the action film "Catch That Kid" with Kristen Stewart.

A Michigan judge was left practically speechless after a suspended driver video called into his courtroom ... while doing the one thing he definitely shouldn't have been doing.

Check it out ... Corey Harris joined his court hearing for driving with a suspended license via Zoom on May 15 ... and to the surprise of the court, is visibly driving a car.

Corey makes it no secret that he is driving either ... when a shocked Judge J. Cedric Simpson asks him if he is, in fact, operating a vehicle, CH replies ... "I’m pulling into my doctor’s office actually."

Bam Margera's all smiles after tying the knot with Dannii Marie Tuesday -- but the marriage is raising the eyebrows of his ex Nikki Boyd, who's got a lot of questions about the timing.

Nikki tells TMZ ... “Whatever makes him happy. I’m happy for him. But it was curious timing, considering that he was supposed to be in court for our trial today."

Despite his big day, our Bam sources say he managed to fulfill his legal obligations by hopping on a Zoom link to attend the trial during his reception.

Tina Knowles popped the lid on the intimate details of how her Grammy Award-winning daughter Solange came into the world ... an African vacay got so steamy, it expanded the family!!!

Miss Tina was a recent guest on Vogue's "The Run-Through" podcast where she shared the complete origin story of both Solange and her eldest Beyoncé.

Tina says she got pregnant with Beyonce in Paris, and just so happened to buy a French book of baby names where she discovered the name Solange.

A man says he got robbed at knifepoint after a Taking Back Sunday concert last week -- and he's got the whole thing on video ... with some dude just standing by and watching it all.

The alleged victim's name is Brandon -- a sound specialist for bands touring nationwide -- and he shared surveillance footage this week that appeared to capture the crime following a gig he worked in Dallas ... where TBS was playing, along with opening act Citizen.

The clip was taken from surveillance footage -- showing him in a scuffle with another man near the tour buses ... this while another dude is sitting nearby, minding his own business -- even drinking what looks to be a beer, despite the fact there's a ruckus within earshot.

Harvey Weinstein may be facing new criminal charges ahead of his rape retrial -- but whether they come through or not ... the guy's eager to get before another jury to clear his name.

The disgraced Hollywood mogul was in court Wednesday in NYC, where prosecutors told a judge they were weighing the possibility of slapping him with new charges before his scheduled retrial, which is set to get underway sometime in September.

The reason ... the Manhattan D.A.'s office says more women have come forward in the aftermath of his 2020 trial, and they're in the middle of sorting whether their claims can be vetted and legally pursued ... noting there might be a statute of limitations issue at play.

Alexander "AE" Edwards is reassuring everyone things are all good with Travis Scott after their wild fight at a Cannes Film Festival after-party last week.

We got Cher's BF Wednesday at LAX ... and while he didn't dish on what exactly sparked the fight involving his bestie Tyga and Travis, he's brushing it off as nothing serious, and he's obviously ready and willing to put the whole thing behind him.

AE was cautious about delving into the deets ... expressing a reluctance to stir up more drama, and making it clear he's not looking to start any more fights.

Jason and Kylie Kelce are not only welcome in Margate, NJ ... but they've also been invited to have a free meal on the mayor's dime -- this after an out-of-control fan threatened the couple wouldn't be allowed inside town limits after turning down a photo request!

Mayor Michael Collins hit up X on Wednesday to address the controversy just hours after the uncomfortable interaction went viral online ... where a woman was seen arguing with the Kelces, all because Jason and Kylie wanted to enjoy a night out without interruption.

"On behalf of the City of Margate, I'd like to formally apologize to Jason & Kylie Kelce for the experience they had in Margate City over the holiday weekend," Collins wrote.

Jill Biden is promising some semblance of decorum for the first 2024 Presidential debate ... teasing how the moderators will put a stop to any rambling with the hit of a switch.

The First Lady stopped by "The View" Wednesday morning, where FLOTUS promised the audience -- and a concerned Sara Haines -- that Pres. Joe Biden and Donald Trump's mics will be turned off during the forthcoming debate to prevent the candidates from talking over one another.

She says this was a key point in the debate agreement, as she noted ... "They've built that in where they're gonna turn off those mics so that somebody can't ramble, or scream at somebody. Not that my husband would be the one doing that."

KTLA weatherman Mark Kriski is recovering from a medical emergency -- as the beloved broadcaster suffered a mild stroke ... according to his wife, reporter Jennifer Gould.

Jennifer tells TMZ ... Mark suffered the stroke early Monday morning at their L.A. home. He was hospitalized, but she says he's on the road to recovery.

While he's still hospitalized, she says Mark is communicative, joking around and, generally, in good spirits. KTLA broke the news and just announced it on the air.

Diddy got blasted by dozens of ex-associates and colleagues in a bombshell report -- but he's still got at least one person in his camp ... one of the singers from his old musical trio.

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" alum and Diddy-Dirty Money member Kalenna Harper was interviewed for Rolling Stone amid their 6-month investigation ... and she was one of the few who defended him, this while also crapping on all the Bad Boy artists who were piling on.

Kalenna not only praised her time working with Diddy, but she scoffed at the Bad Boy alums who blamed him for flatlining their careers ... which was a recurring theme in the RS piece.

Kim Kardashian's making waves in Hollywood -- 'cause she's on Variety's latest "Actors on Actors" series, which also features Jon Hamm ... who once took a nasty shot at her.

The reality star has been paired up with Oscar-nominated actress Chloë Sevigny for the show -- which highlights the who's-who of the acting biz ... and interestingly, Jon is on the lineup as well ... albeit, talking to a different actor, Kristen Wiig.

Still, his shared presence on 'Actors on Actors' with Kim has many remembering him talking s*** about her way back in the 2010s ... when he labeled her stupid, and a "f***ing idiot."

Jerry Seinfeld's calling for the grand return of dominant masculinity -- even though, he ironically acknowledges he's not exactly the poster boy for that trait himself.

On the "Honestly with Bari Weiss" podcast, Jerry admitted his comedy career's taken him on quite a childish journey instead of his desire to embody traditional masculinity. Still, he's not backing down on his ideas about what it means to be a "real man."

JS gave examples ... reminiscing about the icons of masculinity who wowed him during his childhood -- names like John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Sean Connery, and Howard Cosell, guys who grew up admiring and aspiring to be like -- all of which he says are gone.

Taylor Swift fans are putting pressure on the singer to speak out about the Israel-Hamas war ... even going as far as demonstrating at the "Eras" tour over in Europe.

Following an airstrike on Rafah Sunday -- which reportedly killed 45 Palestinians -- several celebs have spoken out on social media, calling for a ceasefire. Taylor, however, has been noticeably silent ... prompting the hashtag #SwiftiesforPalestine to gain traction on X.

Several Swifties have even recently expressed their pro-Palestine stance at her "Eras" tour in person as well ... creating Free Palestine friendship bracelets and holding signs -- which read "We Demand Swift Action" and "Speak Now" -- encouraging TS to take a stand.
