Jason Tartick experienced a near heart-stopping moment when he walked outside his home to take a call ... only to discover his neighbor sprawled on the ground, bleeding and unable to get up.

"The Bachelorette" alum shared the tale Monday ... his next-door neighbor, Bert, who Jason says is battling stage 4 bone cancer, had been lying on the ground for more than an hour -- and he immediately realized the situation was dire.

Oprah Winfrey is shutting down claims she was paid $1 million to host a town hall on behalf of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign ... with the talk show legend declaring it's all BS.

While Oprah wasn't too keen to talk about the election results, which saw Donald Trump emerge as the President-elect ... she did make it clear she didn't accept a dime to hit the campaign trail on behalf of the Vice President.

When asked about the alleged $1M payday, OW said the reports were "not true" ... adding she "was paid nothing -- ever."

Barbie would never, but Mattel definitely did -- accidentally slapping a NSFW website link on the back of its Elphaba and Glinda dolls.

TMZ broke down Mattel’s major blunder -- and let’s just say, looks like this one's gonna have some serious legal fallout 'cause no one’s happy about the link leading to a porn site instead of Ariana Grande’s latest flick.

Check out the clip ... our team dives into everything from Mattel's apology to whether store employees should just grab a Sharpie and cover up the link, or if Mattel should send their own people to handle the fix.

One thing’s for sure ... we’re really hoping none of these kids try to lie about their ages at the porn site’s age paywall -- because that would be a whole other mess!
