UPDATE

11:01 AM PT -- Dylan Walsh tells TMZ ... He's very proud of his son for saving the motorist. His son is an Iraq war veteran, and what his son did is just who he is. He would jump out of a window to help somebody.

The sous chef son of actor Dylan Walsh cooked up a wild water rescue for people at a Maryland tourist site after a car plunged into the harbor ... and the drama was all caught on video.

Thomas Walsh left a meeting with his boss at Phillips Seafood on Wednesday afternoon when he came across a group of people freaked out about what they had just seen -- a car had careened into the water at Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the driver was stuck inside.

Well, that's all Tom had to see as he dove into the water to save the motorist as The Baltimore Banner reported.

Check out the footage, posted Wednesday on Instagram, showing Tom punching the passenger side window of the car and kicking in the windshield. Tom pulled the driver out through the windshield and swam with him to the edge of the pier. Tom then hoisted the man into the waiting arms of people on the pier before he, too, was helped to safety.

Emergency Service personnel later fished the car out of the water with the help of a tow truck.

Police said Tom and the driver were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The motorist, according to cops, was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the accident.

PARENTAL PLANNING

Paris Hilton is reveling in motherhood ... now that she's had one, she can't get enough!!!

We got the reality star/entrepreneur Wednesday at the Grove in L.A. for a book signing, and it's apparent from the crowd that braved really crappy weather -- people are into her and her story.

Paris says it feels incredible to have a son -- Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum -- and she was very open with our photog ... the kid's opened the floodgates for more babies.

It's interesting ... PH almost always holds her cards close to her vest, rarely opening up publicly about her intentions ... so it was a little surprising she played her hand.

Paris hubby Carter Reum announced they had a baby back in January after struggling to get pregnant ... and after tying the knot during a luxurious 2021 wedding weekend.

The "Simple Life" star can clearly keep a secret, even from her mom. No one knew she was having a baby until after the kid was born.

She seems way less secretive now.

Guess Who This Sweet Baby Turned Into!

Before this New York City baby was starring on a hit television series, she was just teething on her baby socks, growing up in a household of actors and taking the subway to the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan.

At just 7 years old, this cute kid started her acting career, and you may have seen her as Molly in the 1999 rendition of "Annie." There's no question that her biggest role to date was when she was part of a "Modern Family."

Need one more clue? Her costar Jesse Tyler Ferguson officiated her wedding in 2022!

Can you guess who she is?

Jose Canseco Daughter Says She's Self-Made ... 'My Family Is Broke'

Jose Canseco's daughter, Josie -- a Victoria's Secret model -- is firing away at her critics ... insisting she never received a leg up, at least monetarily, from her dad or anyone else in her family.

Josie unleashed on her haters in a series of Instagram posts on Monday morning ... claiming to be entirely self-made.

It's unknown what was exactly said to her or about her that set her off -- but she clearly wanted to let everyone know that despite her dad's huge MLB career, she grew up far from wealthy.

"Everyone claiming I came from all this rich money because I'm a 'canseco' do ur research," the 26-year-old said. "My 'family money' was blown by the time I was 6/7 w bankruptcy n I had to work my ass off to not only sustain my 'family name' but also pay my bills cause no one paid that s*** except me."

Josie said there were times in her life when she was in debt, barely making $100 a week, and living in tiny New York apartments packed with models.

"My family is broke," she said, "and I dont get the advance of a family that was rich."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Josie did acknowledge she has "been graced with a privilege of being born within a family that earned what they earned" -- though she added, "I really went through that s*** n busted my ass the traditional way."

FYI -- Jose reportedly made over $40 million in his 17-year MLB career. He filed for bankruptcy back in 2012.

Guess Who This Girl With Bangs Turned Into!

Before this cutie decked out in floral print turned into a model and socialite, she was just heading off to ballet class in New York City, watching her dad act on the big screen and growing up in Long Island, New York.

When this gorgeous gal isn't in wifey mode or at the pilates studio, you can find her making YouTube vids in her bathroom with other Hollywood hotties like Kendall Jenner and Ashley Graham OR selling the heck out of her makeup line.

Kylie and Travis Legally Changing Our Son's Name ... Bye Wolf, Hello Aire

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott want to make their son's name change official in the eyes of the law ... TMZ has learned.

The famous parents filed new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, asking to switch the kiddo's name from Wolf Jacques Webster to Aire Webster.

The docs say Kylie and Travis are both on board with the change ... and they both signed the petition, which is now making its way through the courts.

In the docs, Kylie and Travis say they "regret the initial name choice of Wolf Jacques Webster. Now that Petitioners have had the chance to spend time with their baby, they believe the name Aire Webster is a better fit."

Remember ... Kylie and Travis announced in March 2022 they were scrapping their boy's original name, Wolf, because they felt like it didn't suit him. He had only been born a few weeks prior to the change of heart.

In January, a few weeks before the boy was set to celebrate his first birthday, Kylie revealed his new name, Aire. The name is of Hebrew origin and it reportedly means "Lion of God."

Kylie and Travis' first child is named Stormi ... so Aire fits in with his older sister's name.

The court has yet to sign off on the name change.

Matt Barnes ORDERED TO PAY BACK CHILD SUPPORT ... Owes Gloria Over $133K

Matt Barnes is way behind on child support payments ... a judge just ordered him to fork over more than six figures in back payments to his ex-wife Gloria Govan.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the former NBA baller owes Gloria $133,976.54 in past-due child support payments.

It appears Matt hasn't been shelling out child support for quite some time ... because as we first reported back in 2018, Matt's monthly child support bill was slashed from $20,000 to $7,500.

The exes have two teenage twins, Carter and Isaiah, together ... and Gloria went to court claiming he hasn’t been keeping up on the payments.

Remember ... Matt and Gloria finalized their divorce way back in 2016, after just under two years as husband and wife.

We reached out to Matt's camp ... so far no word back.

"As you visit here for years to come, I encourage you to place your hands in his and take a moment to stand in his shoes."

Natalia, who is studying film in college, was clearly touched her pops was honored at such an historic location.

"Dad, you are an icon, a legend, a storyteller," Natalia said ... "And, most important, the best girl dad any young woman can dream of."

Kobe was the first athlete to have his hands and feet stamped in concrete.

NHL GM Daniel Briere's Son Pushes Wheelchair Down Stairs ... Issues Apology

031523_carson_briere_kal
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
UPDATE

2:05 PM PT -- Mercyhurst Univ. just released another statement on the matter ... and it doesn't seem -- at least as of right now -- Carson Briere will face punishment from the school.

UPDATE

"The actions displayed in the video make our hearts heavy and fall short of our Mercy belief in the inherent dignity of each person," University officials said. "We pray for and are in solidarity with the victim and all persons with disabilities who rightfully find actions like this to be deeply offensive."

UPDATE

"Our Mercy tradition also reminds us that students and all people who make poor choices deserve opportunities to learn, change behaviors, and atone for harmful actions."

UPDATE

11:54 AM PT -- Carson Briere has admitted to pushing the wheelchair down the stairs ... saying Wednesday he's "deeply sorry for my behavior on Saturday."

UPDATE

"There is no excuse for my actions," the college hockey player said in a statement to TMZ Sports, "and I will do whatever I can to make up for this serious lack of judgment.”

UPDATE

Daniel Briere, meanwhile, said he was "shocked" by his son's actions.

UPDATE

"They are inexcusable and run completely counter to our family's values on treating people with respect," the Flyers exec said. "Carson is very sorry and accepts full responsibility for his behavior.”

The son of Philadelphia Flyers interim GM Daniel Briere -- Mercyhurst Univ. ice hockey player Carson Briere -- has been accused of shoving a woman's wheelchair down a flight of stairs over the weekend ... and now, cops say they're investigating the matter.

The incident was captured on a bar's security camera at around midnight on Saturday.

In the footage, you can see two men walk up a staircase and notice a wheelchair sitting at the top of it. One of the men, identified online as Briere, wearing a backward white hat and a dark-colored sweatshirt, then sits in it, before attempting to wheel around in it.

Eventually, Briere gets out of the chair -- before pushing it down the stairs. He then walks away from the scene.

Twitter user @juliazukowski -- who first posted the video -- claims the chair had been left at the top of the stairs because its owner "physically had to be carried down to use the restrooms." She created a GoFundMe page on Wednesday, to raise money for a new chair.

Mercyhurst University said in a statement after the video began circulating on social media that it -- and police -- have launched an investigation into it all.

"Late this afternoon, Mercyhurst University became aware of the disturbing video in which one of our student-athletes is seen pushing an unoccupied wheelchair down a flight of stairs at a local establishment," school officials said in a statement Tuesday. "Our Office of Student Conduct and Department of Police and Safety are investigating."

The school would not confirm Carson Briere was at the center of the probe ... telling TMZ Sports on Wednesday morning, "We are just beginning our investigation and cannot comment on the process."

Carson Briere joined the Mercyhurst hockey team back in 2020. He had previously played for Arizona State's ice hockey team, but was dismissed from the team after the program said he violated rules.

In his three seasons with the Lakers, he's tallied 59 points.

His father, 45-year-old Daniel Briere, played in the NHL for 17 seasons, and was just named the Flyers' interim GM on Friday. We reached out to the NHL team for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

Georgina Rodriguez Brought To Tears Over Baby's Death ... 'Best And Worst Moment Of My Life'

Georgina Rodriguez is opening up on the death of her and Cristiano Ronaldo's twin baby boy ... breaking down in tears as she relived the tragedy.

"This year I had the best and the worst moment of my life in an instant," the 29-year-old said in a trailer for her Netflix show released on Wednesday.

Rodriguez was overcome with emotion as she discussed the aftermath of the devastating experience that impacted their family last April ... saying, "Life is hard. Life goes on."

"I have reasons to move on and be strong."

The clip shows the soccer superstar with their newborn baby, Bella Esmeralda ... and Rodriguez said he was a rock for her as they did their best to return to normalcy.

"Cris really encouraged me to continue with my agenda," Rodriguez added. "He said, 'Gio, get on with life. It'll do you good.'"

"My priority right now is my family and my children," she said. "I'm so happy and thankful."

Season 2 of Gio's show -- which details her daily life as a mom, influencer to 47 million followers, businesswoman, and partner of the most famous soccer star in the world -- drops later this month.

Brooke Shields Shares Sexual Assault Story ... Blamed Herself

Brooke Shields says she was sexually assaulted in her 20s -- something she says she blamed herself for at the time ... and will be discussed further in her new doc.

The 1980s icon opened up to People Mag ahead of her new Hulu project, 'Pretty Baby,' which drops next month. After having already teased the fact she was assaulted in her youth, she describes it here for the first time ... and says it went down during her college years.

Shields says she was a recent Princeton grad and went out to dinner with an unnamed Hollywood exec, whom she thought was going to land her a new acting gig ... this after her career had somewhat flatlined. Unclear where/when this happened -- she doesn't say.

Shields says he invited her back to his hotel afterward so she could make a call -- and she went with him. Once there, she claims he sexually assaulted her ... but doesn't go into much detail. All she says is she didn't fight back -- and felt guilty afterward.

Shields says of her thoughts at the time ... "I kept saying, 'I shouldn't have done that. Why did I go up with him? I shouldn't have had that drink at dinner."

She went on to describe her reaction like this ... "It was really easy to disassociate because by then it was old hat," she recalls. "And because it was a fight-or-flight type of choice. Fight was not an option, so you just leave your body. 'You're not there. It didn't happen."

'RHOM' Alexia Echevarria Not Speaking to Adriana de Moura Over Car Crash Conflict

STILL NOT OVER IT
TMZ.com

"The Real Housewives of Miami" star Alexia Echevarria tells us she still isn't on speaking terms with her costar Adriana de Moura, after comparing her foot injury to Alexia's son's near-fatal car crash ... but she's still holding out hope the relationship can be repaired.

We got Alexia and her hubby Todd Nepola outside Il Pastaio in Bev Hills and she says Adriana hasn't reached out to her after filming their explosive reunion -- she was hoping she'd hear something from her costar.

Fans of the show know Adriana messed up her foot after castmates Guerdy Abraira and Kiki Barth fell on top of it on their Bahamas cast trip this season, and Adriana compared her foot injury to what Alexia's son Frankie faced in 2011.

Frankie was in a friend's car when they got into a serious crash ... resulting in permanent brain damage. Needless to say, the two events are not even close to comparable.

Adriana already attempted to repair the relationship a couple times on the show this season ... but Alexia still hasn't accepted an apology.

Alexia tells us there might be a way of talking through their conflict when filming resumes next month ... which could mean the two might just be saving the drama for the cameras.

Guess Who This Popped Collar Kid Turned Into!

Before this handsome fella in his swag outfit and flowing hair turned into a voice actor and a Broadway star, he was just poppin' his collar, growing up in Hollywood, Florida and gearing up for college at Carnegie Mellon University.

After attending college with Broadway stars like Leslie Odom Jr., this angry bird was a frequent guest corresponded on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, but if you don't recall him then ... you've definitely heard his animated voice as he melted away in one of Disney's classic films.

Need one more hint? He sang Whitney Houston's "How Will I know" on "Lip Sync Battle."

Guess what he looks like now!

Robert Blake Son Says Kimmel Joke in Poor Taste ... Upset About Oscars 'Memoriam' Omission

JUST PLAIN UNFUNNY
TMZ.com

Robert Blake getting left out of the Oscars "In Memoriam" tribute was a big mistake on The Academy's part -- at least, according to the late actor's son, who's also pissed his dad's death was a punchline.

Noah Blake tells TMZ ... people are allowed to have their own opinion about his father -- which obviously many have -- but he says when it comes to an annually anticipated segment like the Oscars Memoriam, opinions shouldn't be a factor.

He also points out his dad wasn't the only one left out ... as you know, stars like Tom Sizemore, Anne Heche, and Paul Sorvino were excluded from the broadcast. It's something that seems to happen every year, and Noah thinks it once again wasn't handled well.

TO INCLUDE OR NOT?
ABC

Noah also gave us his thoughts on Jimmy Kimmel's joke about whether or not to include Robert in the segment -- obviously, he found it to be in poor taste. He also says it landed flat, because he was confused if the "interactive portion" was legit or just a gag.

For what it's worth, the audience laughed ... clearly getting it was a gag.

He adds he doesn't usually believe in jokes being "too soon," but points out the fine line Jimmy was walking on when he poked fun at the actor.

Noah tells us he's going to go live on Instagram at 5:30 PM PST Tuesday to talk about his dad and his life.

As we reported, Robert died last Thursday ... 3 days before the Oscars, meaning there certainly was time to add him to the "In Memoriam" montage -- but it's clear that was never the plan.
