A gigantic blaze ravaged a Canadian bridge this week, causing the smoldering traverse to look like a scene straight out of a war movie.

Photos obtained by TMZ showed the up-close devastation.  Check out the footage ... as the fire was raging, thick plumes of black smoke rose up from the bridge, spreading like a mushroom cloud into the sky.

Andy Cohen's swooping in to defend Jennifer Lopez -- this after Meghan McCain added fuel to the star's online hate brigade by shading her big time.

Andy shared his own firsthand experience with J Lo ... saying she's made 4 guest appearances on 'Watch What Happens Live' -- and he insists ... there was absolutely no drama whatsoever with her during those times.

Chris Cuomo isn't a fan of Presidential debates, dismissing them as pageantry -- but he says that's not the case with the face-off next week between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Cuomo was on "TMZ Live" Friday ... and his take is the debate will be a major test for Biden, not on policy issues but on cognition.

The NewsNation anchor breaks it down like this: If Joe steps onto the debate stage and performs well, then Trump's gonna regret all those digs, like comparing him to cartoon characters and mocking his cognitive abilities.

Justin Timberlake certainly got unwanted publicity this week with his DWI arrest, and the first debate looms between Biden and Trump. So we gotta ask ...

Diddy scrubbed his Instagram this week -- including his on-camera apology over the Cassie video -- and while some think it's a diss ... we're told there's no subliminal messaging here.

At some point late Thursday, Diddy got rid of every single IG post on his page -- wiping it completely clean without any explanation ... and that includes the video he posted where he addressed the brutal video of him beating his then-girlfriend.

The internet was rife with theories on what might've been behind the move -- but sources with direct knowledge have assured us there's nothing behind the move other than Puff wanting to reset his posts ... something we're told he's done in the past.

A Dallas freeway turned into an NSFW action movie, 'cause a half-naked lady started beating on a driver while pulled over on the side of the road ... and then got taken for a ride.

Prince William and his kids appear to be Swifties ... because the Prince of Wales reportedly took the kiddos to Taylor Swift's 'Eras' Tour concert in London.

William was in the house Friday night for Taylor's show, with his 2 eldest children in tow ... George and Charlotte ... at least according to a report from across the pond. Royal reporter Roya Nikkhah says PW is at the London shindig with the kiddos, ringing in his born day.

Taylor's London performance happened to land on William's 42nd birthday ... so it seems like this was his big bday present. They've rubbed elbows before BTW, but that was way back in 2013.

Ryan Hadley -- a tattoo artist who appeared on season 6 of the hit competition show "Ink Master" -- has died after a battle with cancer ... this according to his own social pages.

Neal McDonough is weighing in on Kevin Costner's "Yellowstone" exit -- saying it really was just bad timing ... although, he notes the issue is between KC and Taylor Sheridan, which seems to hint at something deeper.

We talked to the 'Yellowstone' actor -- who starred opposite Kevin on the hit show for a handful of episodes back in the day -- and he told us on "TMZ Live" Friday that Kevin isn't BS'ing when he says there were scheduling issues that forced him to bounce.

Take a listen ... Neal explains that Kev was, in fact, busy for his new western movie 'Horizon' -- and because the last season of 'Yellowstone' took a while to get going in terms of production ... it was ultimately impossible for the leading man to stay on.

New video from the horrific scene where a city truck decapitated an elderly man in New York shows the moment the vehicle made contact ... and shockingly, it happened slowly.

Surveillance footage going around online catches the 86-year-old victim slowly making his way across a street in Brooklyn ... and he actually narrowly avoided another car that took a left turn just as he was starting to cross -- before the NYC Dept. of Transportation truck arrived.

The elderly man waits for that car to pass before continuing across the street ... when the big yellow Transportation truck starts to turn right, heading directly into his path and hitting him.
