Grizzly Bear Moose On The Menu?!? Predator Chases Prey
A grizzly bear in Montana had a hankering for moose tracks, it seems -- and we're not talking ice cream either ... it's the real McCoy playing out in nature ... and it's all video!
Check out this wild footage -- posted by a scientist and outdoorsman -- that shows a young moose galloping through an empty campground in Montana ... stopping only for a moment by this guy's car, before a grizzly bear comes barreling out of the woods hot on its trail.
On Tuesday I went to an empty campground in Montana because it was the location of a fatal grizzly attack we covered on Tooth and Claw (my podcast). I saw a moose in the campground and went to take a short video of it…it ended up being a better video than I expected pic.twitter.com/B0KFEpBvrd

Morgan Freeman Slams Black History Month Again ... 'Makes My Teeth Itch'

MF says ... "You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right."
Angelina Jolie on Father's Day Daughter Twinning w/ Mama at Tonys ... After Snubbing Dad Brad
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Vivienne chose to spend Father's Day by her A-list mom's side ... hitting the Tony Awards in the Big Apple, and channeling her mama's style.
The mother-daughter duo stepped out in twinning teal ensembles Sunday to support "The Outsiders" musical -- which was nominated for 12 awards heading into Broadway's biggest night ... and which Angie is responsible for co-producing.
Angie's teen daughter is notably serving as a producer's assistant on the play, so she helped out her mom with getting it all together. And, while "The Outsiders" won Best Musical ... that might not be the only reason Viv skipped out on spending the holiday with Brad.
KEVIN COSTNER SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE ... For 'Yellowstone' Return??!!
Kevin Costner says the door is still open for him to gallop his way back into his lead role in "Yellowstone" -- but with some conditions ... including having a plot that's ready to shoot.
The actor made it clear on "TODAY" Monday that he loved his hit show from day one, and still does ... so he'd definitely re-open the window for Paramount's Western epic -- but he notes ... without scripts all ready to go, it might be difficult to do that.
Kevin says script delays pissed him off to the point that he felt he needed to leave the show -- noting they lost a full year without anything to show for it ... and that's a no-no for him.

If Travis Kelce does get into broadcasting following his NFL career ... Eric Dickerson's expecting his run of dominance to continue in that profession, telling TMZ Sports the dude is "a great fit" for TV.
The Hall of Famer, of course, knows a thing or two about transitioning from the gridiron to the microphone -- he worked as a "Monday Night Football" sideline reporter back in 2000 and 2001 -- and he's convinced Kelce has what it takes to succeed.
"Travis has a great personality," the former Rams running back told us out at LAX this week. "He's a great player. He knows football extremely well. He's won a couple Super Bowls. I don't think you can lose with that."
RICHARD PRYOR Home Where Comedian Lit Himself on Fire Sells

Richard Pryor's former L.A. home -- the infamous spot where he set himself on fire in 1980 -- just sold for a cool $3,619,000.
The Northridge home was on the market for only 3 months by ex-NFL player turned Hollywood writer Rashard Mendenhall -- netting him a considerable profit, as he'd purchased it for $2.5M in 2017.
It wasn't exactly what Rashard had hoped for -- he initially listed the home at $4,236,000, a nod to his NFL career rushing total of 4,236 yards -- but it's still a pretty sweet deal.
