Donald Trump's supporters started dropping left and right outside his Arizona rally this week ... fainting while waiting in line to get in -- with many saying extreme heat's to blame.

New video taken outside Dream City Church in Phoenix Thursday is making the rounds online showing paramedics running around the area to help out several people who appear overcome by the heat -- sitting close to 110 degrees.

Check out the clips ... Ben Brown -- a reporter for ABC15 in Phoenix -- posted video documenting the scene, including a clip showing one individual receiving an IV underneath a couple white pop-up tents.

"Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley is sharing a positive update on Nina Dobrev after his former costar got into a gnarly crash on her E-bike ... telling us she's going to pull through.

We got Paul and his model girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg at LAX on Thursday and our photog asked him if he had reached out to his fellow 'VD' alum since her accident.

Paul says Nina told him she's doing better after needing surgery for her injuries ... and he says she's expecting to make a full recovery.

50 Cent says his entire interaction with Rep. Lauren Boebert was blown out of proportion because the photo-op everyone's talking about is all he had time for, plus he ain't exactly looking for a new GF.

Of course, that's not the impression 50 or Lauren gave the internet after they posted flirty exchanges to go with the cozy pics they snapped Wednesday at the White House.

We caught 50 out in NYC promoting the final season of "Power Book II: Ghost" and he laughed off the notion he and LB have a congressional romance blossoming.

Deontay Wilder's fiancée, Telli Swift, just got a temporary restraining order against the star boxer ... after she claimed he abused her on multiple occasions over the last six years.

Swift, who began dating Wilder in 2015, applied for the TRO in Los Angeles late last week ... and on Monday -- two days after Wilder was knocked out in a high-profile match with Zhilei Zhang -- a judge granted it.

In her application for the order, Swift accused Wilder of choking her "at least five times" since 2018. She also stated the 38-year-old heavyweight spit on her several other times ... and claimed he once shoved her face in a pillow in a fit of rage for so long, she "nearly suffocated."

Dr. Patricia Kaishian -- who worked on this new Peacock doc all about queer animals -- has been researching plants and fungi for years ... and she joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and shared some of her strangest findings ... same-sex reproduction!!!

It's pretty incredible, the good doctor says the plant and fungi worlds are way more complex than simply being comprised of just males and females ... and she says some organisms have figured out how to have offspring without a mate of the opposite sex.

3:45 PM PT -- Ryan Garcia seems to be doing well on Thursday -- considering what he went through the night before -- popping up on Rodeo Drive with his brother, Sean.

No word on how much time he spent in Beverly Hills -- or if he ended up buying anything -- but it's a good sign to see him out and about.

Ryan Garcia was checked out by cops at a fancy hotel in Los Angeles Wednesday night ... when a family member called authorities after they became concerned for the star boxer's well-being, TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers responded to the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills for a welfare check in the early evening after the 25-year-old's fam called police. It's unclear exactly what led to the call being made.

Our sources say cops spoke to Ryan at the hotel and determined that he was okay and was not a harm to himself or others, and being no crime was committed, everyone went on their way.

Judge Cedric Simpson kicked off the hearing saying he wanted to set the record straight ... and, ya gotta watch the clip for yourself -- 'cause it's as wild as the rest of this saga.

A gunman unloaded a full clip of bullets at passing cars on a busy California street -- and he ended up killing a dad ... something that was caught on video.

The horrifying incident played out in Riverside County Monday -- where law enforcement alleges 39-year-old Julio Rodarte opened fire at vehicles that were cruising down a road ... randomly shooting into traffic as he walked down the sidewalk in broad daylight.

Surveillance video shows the shooter opening fire with what looks to be a semiautomatic ... pointing at cars from close range and repeatedly pulling the trigger. At one point, you see him unload an entire magazine, tossing it to the ground before loading another clip.

Will Smith is not ignoring the elephant in the room -- there's a scene in his new 'Bad Boys' movie where he's repeatedly slapped, a pretty clear nod to his infamous Chris Rock moment ... but the question is why now?

Early reviews for "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" are trickling out with the action flick hitting theaters Thursday night ... and word is Will's character, Mike Lowry, gets slapped multiple times by Martin Lawrence's character, Marcus Burnett.

The slap scene is supposedly near the film's climax, and it sounds like there are a few layers to the joke. Detective Burnett keeps calling his partner, "bad boy" while slapping him in the face.

An iconic Victorian home in San Francisco famously used for exterior shots in sitcoms "Full House" and "Fuller House" is back up for grabs ... and it's more expensive this time around.

The four-bedroom estate on SF's "Postcard Row" just hit the market for $6.5 million ... this after last changing hands back in 2020 for $5.35 million, when "Full House" creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin sold the place.

Folks will instantly recognize the home's front door and bay window ... but the interior of the 3,737-square-foot home was not used in the show ... 'FH' was mostly filmed in a Hollywood studio, aside from those exterior shots. That's why this looks so freakin' different!

Gabourey Sidibe has a precious update to announce ... she's welcomed twins with husband Brandon Frankel -- a couple months ago.

On how they decided upon their little ones' names, the actress explained to TSR ... "Brandon always wanted to name a son Cooper, so we can call him 'Coop,' and Maya was named shortly before our baby moon to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico."

Fiona Harvey just filed a suit against the streaming giant -- and she's flat-out denying many of the actions Martha allegedly did in the limited series ... in which she's painted as an overly-obsessed stalker constantly hounding the main character, played by Richard Gadd.

Kim Kardashian's been rubbing shoulders with A-listers for ages ... but now, 2 new familiar faces have risen through the ranks into her inner circle of pals.

None other than Ivanka Trump and Lauren Sanchez scored invites to Kim's 43rd birthday bash at the Beverly Hills hot spot, Funke, the party last October that this week's 'Kardashians' episode gave a glimpse into.

The two were among the first guests to roll up the extravaganza organized by the star's sister Khloe Kardashian. Ivanka had the prime spot right next to Kim, while Bezos' wife snagged a seat just 2 spots down.
