The Minnesota Twins' AAA affiliate is standing firm on its decision to name its live pig mascot "OzemPig" ... this after a number of fans squealed in opposition.

The St. Paul Saints -- known for their tomfoolery on gamedays -- traditionally employ young pigs to help out with delivering game balls to umpires ... and host an annual contest to come up with a silly moniker for each animal (past winners include Ham Solo, Notorious P.I.G., etc.).

This year's winner beat out candidates like Porky Blinders and Sloppenheimer ... but once the name was announced, some folks felt it flirted with fat-shaming, considering it's a nod to the popular weight loss drug.

Summer Walker has what should be a show-stopping condition, but the R&B enchantress isn't stopping ANY performances ... because she knows fans paid good money to see her!!!

SW's currently overseas as the headliner for Australia and New Zealand's first-ever R&B and Soul music festival, 'Souled Out' ... but sources close to the "Over It" singer tell TMZ Hip Hop she came down with a case of bronchitis a few days ago.

We're told Summer doesn't believe in modern medicine, so she's been soothing her throat with a blend of herbs and teas in the meantime.

Summer battled through the 2nd date of the festival in Auckland, New Zealand, and the next one went down Friday in Melbourne, Australia.

We're told she's been on heavy vocal rest, meaning absolutely minimal speaking until her shows begin.

Emily Willis is slowly -- and her family hopes, surely -- on the road to recovery after a cardiac arrest last month left her unconscious and hospitalized in critical condition.

The 25-year-old adult film star's father, Michael, tells TMZ ... while she remains in a vegetative state, there have been notable improvements -- mainly, she's now awake and able to track things with her eyes, smile, and even become emotional during conversations.

Sadly, Michael says doctors aren't anticipating further improvement beyond what she's already achieved.

Emily Willis se está recuperando después de un paro cardíaco que el mes pasado que la dejó inconsciente y hospitalizada en estado crítico.

El padre de la estrella de cine para adultos de 25 años de edad -Michael- le dice a TMZ que ha habido mejoras notables mientras permanece en estado vegetativo. Ahora está despierta y es capaz de seguir las cosas con los ojos, sonreír, e incluso emocionarse durante las conversaciones.

Lamentablemente, Michael dice que los médicos no están anticipando una mejora más allá de lo que ya ha logrado.

Jeremy Roach isn't planning on letting a dislocated finger get in the way of him putting on a show in the Sweet Sixteen on Friday ... the Duke hoops star tells TMZ Sports he'll be good to go against Houston!

ICYMI, the senior guard injured his pinky during the Blue Devils' NCAA tournament win over James Madison on Sunday.

Even though it looked painful as hell, it thankfully wasn't broken ... and according to Roach, he won't be limited much by the dinged digit when Duke faces off with the Cougars.

Logan Paul is beyond pissed about the new documentary about him that just dropped ... and he's blaming Graham Bensinger, the guy who spent 5 months interviewing him for the film.

We had Logan and Graham on "TMZ Live" Thursday, and we thought they were both going to promote, "5 Months with Logan Paul" ... the documentary -- in which Logan opens up about suicidal thoughts after a failed business deal. Well, instead it turned into a verbal Royal Rumble, with Logan hurling a lot of accusations at Graham.

His main beef is the platform on which '5 Months' debuted ... namely, Graham's YouTube channel. Logan ripped into Graham, claiming he'd promised it would debut on Apple TV+. Dude came with receipts, too -- Logan held up several emails he claims Graham sent him about the Apple TV+ deal.

Bethenny Frankel says a man walked up to her in NYC and punched her square in the face ... and, it sounds like this is part of a concerning trend plaguing women in the Big Apple.

Here's the deal ... a fashion student recently posted a video on TikTok where she revealed a man punched her in the face while she walked down the street -- randomly and for no reason.

In the clip, the student says she was just staring at her phone -- minding her own business -- when a dude came up and clocked her -- which she says her friends told her was becoming the norm for a lot of women all over the city.

Logan Paul says the coverage of his failed CryptoZoo project led to the darkest period of his life ... revealing he at one point contemplated taking his own life amid the backlash.

The YouTuber, boxer and WWE Superstar opened up on his mental struggles in Graham Bensinger's documentary, "5 Months with Logan Paul" ... detailing the breakdown he had while in Denmark with his fiancée, Nina Agdal, and her family in 2022.

Logan said he missed out on the chance to meet Nina's father due to his emotional state ... admitting he was in "a pretty dark spot" after YouTuber Coffeezilla released a video series investigating his NFT game and accusing it of being a scam.

Drew Barrymore se está refiriendo a la gente que está pidiendo disculpas por bromear sobre Kate Middleton antes de que supieran que tenía cáncer, incluyendo a Stephen Colbert.

La actriz y presentadora del talk show habló sobre el fenómeno que se ha desarrollado la última semana, respecto a que la gente está criticando a los que bromearon antes de saber sobre su diagnóstico de cáncer.

Ha habido un montón de gente que ha tenido que comerse las críticas, y eso va para Colbert también, quien dedicó un poco de tiempo en su programa el lunes para expresar arrepentimiento por su reciente broma.

Drew Barrymore is weighing in on folks who are now backtracking/apologizing for joking about Kate Middleton before they knew she had cancer ... including Stephen Colbert.

The actress/talk show host spoke on the phenomenon that's been unfolding over the past week or so -- namely, the fact that people are getting dragged for having made light of Kate's mysterious situation ahead of her cancer diagnosis announcement.

There've been a lot of people who've had to eat crow over this -- and that goes for Colbert too, who dedicated a little time on his show Monday to express regret for his recent bit.

Ninja -- one of the most popular esports stars in the world -- just revealed he has cancer.

The 32-year-old made the announcement on his X page Tuesday evening ... saying that following a routine skin checkup a few weeks back, he was diagnosed with melanoma.

Ninja -- real name Tyler Blevins -- says the problem area was discovered after he had a mole on the bottom of his foot looked at. Thankfully, he said doctors believe it's all in "the early stages," although he's clearly shaken by the diagnosis nonetheless.

"I’m still in a bit of shock," he said in his post ... before adding, "I'm grateful to have hope in finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups."

Ninja hasn't shown any signs -- at least publicly -- that it's affected him at all ... he's continued to stream to his millions of followers without issue.

In fact, he just posted a bunch of clips to his Instagram page this week showing him laughing and in good spirits while playing Fortnite.

Many in the sports world sent well wishes his way ... including Robert Griffin III, who tweeted, "Praying for you brother."

Eric Decker just ensured he won't be having any more kids following the birth of his fourth one -- revealing Monday night he had a vasectomy.

The former NFL star had fun while making the announcement ... sharing some photos of him recovering from the procedure while wearing a T-shirt that read, "Vasectomy survivor. I kid you not."

In one of the snaps, he had a bag of frozen peas on his private parts -- while holding what appeared to be a stiff drink in one of his hands.

Un hombre de California está compitiendo con el hombre de Florida por el titular más extraño de la semana, porque fue arrestado por caminar y aparentemente masticar una pierna humana.

El nombre del tipo es Rosendo Tellez, y fue arrestado el viernes cerca de Bakersfield -en una pequeña ciudad llamada Wasco- después de que testigos lo vieron paseando por la ciudad con lo que parecía ser una extremidad inferior completa.

Funcionarios del Condado de Kern dicen que la pierna fue tomada ilegalmente de la escena de un accidente de tren esa mañana, cuando Téllez la robó después de que un hombre fue atropellado y muerto en la estación de Amtrak en la ciudad. No mucho después de eso, los ciudadanos dicen que vieron Tellez caminando con la pierna en la mano.

A California man is competing with Florida Man for weirdest headline of the week -- 'cause he got arrested for walking around and apparently chomping on a human severed leg.

The dude's name is Rosendo Tellez. and he got busted Friday out near Bakersfield -- in a small town called Wasco -- after eyewitnesses saw him strolling through town with what looked to be an entire limb that was attached to a person just earlier in the day.

Kern County officials say the leg was illegally taken from the scene of a train accident that morning -- when Tellez is alleged to have swooped it up after a man was hit and killed at the Amtrak station in town. Not too long after that ... citizens say they spotted Tellez holding it.

Ryan Garcia's bizarre social media activity continues ... this time, the boxing superstar claims he's handing out plastic surgery procedures like candy -- including boob jobs and Brazilian butt lifts.

King Ryan made the odd proclamation on his X account Monday morning ... saying he wants to show his support for women by helping them fulfill their cosmetic desires.

"I'm giving out free BBL's and Boob jobs hit me up," Garcia said. "No weird stuff just out here supporting."

Garcia insisted the gesture is not to throw shade at anyone ... adding, "No disrespect either I respect all woman. I love and support all woman in the world."

The 25-year-old explained his decision to help out ... saying he's been getting blown up with requests in the DMs and wanted to go "full support mode."

Garcia ended his post with another weird statement -- "RG FOR PRESIDENT" -- although the guy has a bit of aging to do before he can actually set his sights on the Oval Office.

As we previously reported, Garcia swore off any non-sports social media content prior to his April 20 fight against Devin Haney ... but that promise was short-lived.

Quite possibly one of the grossest injuries in combat sports history went down over the weekend ... when a Muay Thai fighter had his nose completely wrecked during a bout -- and yeah, the video is disgusting.

The gruesome incident went down between Por Tor Thor Petchrungruang and Shayan Heydari in Thailand ... when the latter was rocked with a vicious uppercut in the second round of the contest.

Heydari's nose practically went sideways ... and it was immediately clear the thing was broken.
