Sideline reporter Kristina Pink needed to be helped off the Crypto.com Arena floor on Sunday ... after she slipped on water and fell HARD following a postgame interview.

Pink horrifyingly landed on the court face-first ... and the thud of her fall could be heard loud and clear on broadcast microphones.
Somehow, though, Pink avoided serious injuries in the tumble ... writing on her social media page after the game that she's expected to be fine.
"For everyone asking, I’m ok," said Pink, who does games for NFL on Fox in addition to her role with the Clippers. "There was water on the court... Appreciate all the messages."
Glad to hear she's okay ... that fall was gnarly.

More than 5 dozen people are reported to have been injured in the fire, including 13 who are said to have been in critical condition. Most of the victims are suffering from severe smoke inhalation ... this according to FDNY officials.
Newly elected Mayor Eric Adams says it's one of the worst fires in NYC history ... and it's now being compared to the Happy Land social club fire of 1990, which took the lives of 87 people.

No word on what may have caused this to begin with ... that's currently under investigation. With that said, fire officials told local media that it doesn't appear to be suspicious in origin.
The death toll of at least 17 was confirmed by the Mayor's office, and the number of kids who died was reported by AP, citing anonymous sources who were familiar with the figures.

Beech Mountain, NC Skiers Sprayed by Freezing Water ... Trapped on the Lift!!!
It's a cold, cold world out there ... and it got even chillier for a handful of skiers in North Carolina, who got hosed down with freezing water while already in below-freezing temps.
Check out this insane video that was captured Friday on the Beech Mountain Resort, where officials say someone slammed into a water/air hydrant while coming down the slopes during snowmaking operations ... and apparently knocked the whole thing off.
As a result ... an enormous amount of H2O was shot straight up into the air for a good long while through the waterline down below, creating a geyser effect on the ski lift passenger directly above.
Yes, a fair amount of them got drenched passing through ... but, for some reason, it looks like these poor guests got stuck right in the middle of the water -- getting absolutely drenched. Unclear how long they stayed in this position, but it was at least 30 seconds or so based on the video above, which was shot by a bystander.
Considering the harsh conditions, you can imagine these people were worse for wear afterward. Two guests were reportedly taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries ... and some people are reported to have been blown off the chair lift altogether.
The resort says, "Our operations and safety team worked diligently to unload the lift and drain the system safely," while adding ... "We believe everyone is okay outside of the unfortunate situation, and operations are on a regular schedule."

TV News Prank Conspiracy Theorist Hurls Coffee into Camera Hilarious Reaction by Anchor
A Gen-Z'er went all Linda Blair on a Chicago morning show Thursday ... except instead of green slime, a mouthful of java propelled into his camera lens, horrifying a TV anchor.
It went down on WGN in Chicago, where a dude named Peter McIndoe was yakking about his conspiracy theory that birds don't really exist ... rather, the fair-feathered friends are actually drone replicas -- all part of an effort by the U.S. government to keep eyes on us.
As Peter dutifully answers the anchor's questions, he takes a swig of something from his coffee mug and then just hurls into the cam. The anchor is flummoxed ... and it's hysterical.
We're calling BS on this ... but that doesn't make it unfunny.

AEW Star Rey Fenix Somehow Suffered No Broken Bones In Gruesome In-Match Fall
12:49 PM PT -- Incredible news ... Fenix says he somehow did not break a bone in the gnarly fall -- writing on his social media page Thursday, "THERE ARE NO BROKEN BONES."
Fenix, though, said he will require more trips to the doctor's office ... as the medical experts still have yet to give him an exact diagnosis of his injuries.
The wrestler -- who shared a pic of his cast and sling -- added he's grateful for the outpouring of prayers he received following the match.
"Thank you very much once again to all and congratulations to the champions," Fenix said, "enjoy and defend those titles, because very soon I am back and those championships belong to the LUCHA BROTHERS. I respect!"
AEW star Rey Fenix suffered a horrific arm injury in the middle of his match Wednesday night ... and -- **HUGE WARNING** -- the video of the incident is extremely graphic.
Fenix was wrestling against Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus in a tag-team event with his partner, Penta Zero Miedo, at AEW Dynamite ... when the gruesome injury occurred.
Luchasaurus slammed Fenix through a table -- and as the two wrestlers hit the ground, Fenix's arm got caught in an awkward position and snapped backward.
Oh my GAWD!!!! #ReyFenix 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯😳😵😞🤦 pic.twitter.com/GoeIIcPnev
— Prime TimeTalk TV (@primetimetalktv) January 6, 2022 @primetimetalktv
Fenix was in an extreme amount of pain -- video from the ringside angle shows he was screaming loudly after hurting the arm.
The 31-year-old was unable to finish the match -- and he was reportedly rushed to the hospital.
No word on his condition today ... but we've reached out to AEW for comment.
Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus, meanwhile, went on to win the match as AEW personnel tended to Fenix. Jungle Boy (Luke Perry's son) tweeted afterward he hoped the star's injury wasn't too bad.
"Wishing a speedy recovery to @ReyFenixMx," the wrestler wrote. "One of the very best in the world, and one of the greatest people. It’s always an honor to share the ring with you. Much love."
Fenix is one of AEW's brightest stars -- he's known for his high-flying aerial moves, and he's a big-time crowd favorite.
Get well soon.

Patriots' Mac Jones Dinner Catches Fire In QB's Home ... Girlfriend Races To Put Out Flames!!!
Scary scene at Mac Jones' home earlier this week ... a dinner made for the Patriots quarterback caught on fire -- but, thankfully, his girlfriend was able to put out the small inferno.
The wild scene was all captured on Jones' in-home Furbo camera on Monday ... showing Sophie Scott scrambling to douse a sheet tray that had burst into flames.
In the video, posted by Scott on Tuesday night, you can see Jones' GF raced through the kitchen with the hot plate all while screaming Mac's name.
Fortunately, she was able to get a sliding glass door open and chuck the pan onto the lawn -- avoiding catastrophe.
Scott joked about it all afterward ... saying, "It's okay to laugh (everythings ok) I shared because I'm dying laughing about what the Furbo catches."
Sophie said there was no second attempt to make dinner -- the couple, who have been dating since 2019, safely ordered takeout instead.
Good call.

Exclusive
- 8.1K shares
There was something strange appearing in the sky over Tennessee ... and it prompted an eyewitness' super funny reaction to the prospect of UFOs.
Check out this wild, hilarious video obtained by TMZ, which appears to show multiple lights in different formations high above Memphis.
We're told this was shot a couple days ago, on Dec. 27, in the evening ... and you can see the lights forming a line and a triangle.
The eyewitness who shot the video is beside herself ... "Y'all, what is that y'all?!? Y'all what the f*** is that?!? Oh my God, y'all!!!"
It's unclear what we're seeing here, but they don't appear to be planes ... and it's the latest in a string of unidentified objects being spotted in our skies.
Earlier this month, we obtained video of a swarm of lights darting around the airspace above Chino Hills, CA ... looking like giants orbs in the heavens.
And, there was also the pilot who recorded what appeared to be a fleet of UFOs over the Pacific.
The Dept. of Defense is launching a new UFO task force ... and it would be hilarious if this Memphis eyewitness narrated all their evidence.
One can dream.

Everything appears normal as the pilot is speaking to the tower. The pilot seems relaxed and everything appears business as usual, but then -- abruptly -- panic sets in.
The pilot screams, "Oh s***, Oh s***, Oh S***!" His words are followed by a scream, and that's the last transmission.
All 4 on board were killed. The plane all but disintegrated upon impact, leaving a fireball.
It was raining at the time and the plane struck several power lines. The cause of the crash, however, has yet to be determined.
The crash caused a power outage in the area.

10:01 AM PT -- 12/25 Memphis Airport police tell TMZ ... "Police were called to the gate upon arrival. Officers interviewed both individuals involved in the altercation, and both declined to press charges against the other."
Merry Xmas everyone, and let's celebrate with an insane fight that erupted for no particular reason.
It went down on a late-night Delta flight from L.A. to Memphis. An eyewitness tells TMZ ... the man in blue had been drinking and was loud. The eyewitness says he was only wearing his mask sporadically, which pissed off some of the other passengers.
The guy he was fighting had apparently said something like, "You must be from L.A. because you think you're better than everyone else" ... whatever that means.
One of them said to the other, "You're a really horrible person," and that apparently triggered the fight.
They really went at it ... causing chaos in the cabin.
Strangely, police were nowhere in sight when the flight landed. The 2 men both went to baggage claim but kept their distance.
Happy holidays, everybody.

Packers Vs. Ravens Fans Get In Bloody Brawl At Game ... Multiple Punches Thrown

Exclusive Details
- 879 shares
8:06 AM PT -- Cops tell TMZ Sports nobody was arrested over the incident ... though they did say four people were ejected as a result of the melee.
Cops added that one person needed medical attention before they were booted from the venue.
Packers and Ravens fans got into an all-out brawl during the teams' game Sunday -- and the action got so violent, one fan left the melee with his jacket covered in blood.
The wild scene all went down in the stands at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore ... when Green Bay supporters began jawing with men in Ravens jerseys.
Unclear what initially started the arguments -- but video from the scene shows a guy in a cheesehead hat appeared to ignite the physical fracas after he struck a Baltimore fan in the face.
Check out the video, as soon as the man was hit -- fists flew everywhere, with roughly half a dozen people getting involved in the skirmish.
At one point, a Ravens fan wanted to insert himself so badly into the fight -- he left his feet to jump on top of the crowd.
As security came to separate the combatants, you can see in the clip a woman appeared to have been struck in the cheek during the commotion, which caused one Ravens fan to yell, "Who the f*** punched her in the face?! I swear to f***ing God I'll kill you!"
Eventually, security was able to gain control of the situation -- though it's unclear if any arrests were made. We've reached out to cops, but so far, no word back yet.
Of course, this is far from the first act of violence at an NFL game this season -- fans have been fighting all year, including at the Rams vs. Bears game earlier in the season.

Unclear exactly how high the peak of the wave ultimately was -- it appeared to be somewhere in the 60-foot range -- but Scooby bombed it nonetheless.
Check out the clip, the 33-year-old zoomed through the wave's barrel ... coming out on the other side to a round of cheers from onlookers on the shore.
Judges ended up giving Scooby a staggering 9.50 score for the ride -- and after he got off his board, Scooby was ecstatic, telling a reporter in the ocean, "It was a crazy hit!"

UFO Swarm of Lights Dart Across Sky ... Sighting in Chino Hills???
-
Exclusive
- 24.2K shares
We may have another UFO sighting on our hands -- and this one sure seems legit, seeing how there's no explanation for what the heck all these lights in the sky are.
Check out this wild video obtained by TMZ, which appears to show multiple giant orbs in the heavens above Chino Hills, CA -- circling each other and moving in strange, eccentric patterns ... with no light source coming from down below, per an eyewitness, anyway.
We're told this was shot a couple days ago, on Dec. 9, around 9 PM. The woman who filmed it tells us her grandson was taking the trash out, when he looked up and saw this ... which prompted the rest of the family to come out and take it all in.
The witness says she thought there was a grand opening happening, but they couldn't trace any such event nearby ... and as they mention on camera, there's no beam coming from down below. Seems the lights are really up there, generated by something in the clouds.
The crazy part is, we're told that after about 30-40 mins ... these things completely disappeared, without a trace.
There doesn't seem to be any explanation that we could find for what we're seeing here -- it's a mystery. Of course, one answer could be ... this is a UFO. Or lots of them, more like. One might even call them a fleet -- which is what one pilot recently says he saw as he was flying high above civilization himself.
Sightings such are these are becoming more and more common -- which is presumably why the Pentagon is dedicating an entire new wing to studying them. The truth is out there ...

Girls Basketball Mom Charged For Telling Daughter To Punch Opponent ... In H.S. Hoops Game

Breaking News
- 5.4K shares
The mom of ex-NBA player Corey Benjamin's daughter has been charged criminally in California after allegedly directing her daughter to sucker punch an opponent during a H.S. hoops game.
44-year-old Latira Shonty Hunt was hit with 2 misdemeanor charges ... battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. If she's ultimately convicted, she faces a year in jail.
While announcing the charges, Orange County DA placed the blame right on the mother's shoulders, saying “In my opinion, it would have not happened, but for mom’s words."
TMZ Sports broke the story ... the girl absolutely decked her 15-year-old opponent, sending her crashing to the hardwood floor.
At the time, police in Garden Grove, CA told us they were investigating the incident. After reviewing the video and talking to witnesses, officials decided to charge Hunt.
While her daughter isn't facing any charges, she has been punished. The league permanently banned her from competing.
As for her former professional hooper dad, Benjamin apologized for his daughter's actions, saying, "As a father, I’m shocked and disappointed at my daughter’s behavior as this is not a reflection of the values and standards that my family holds. Nor does it exemplify the values, character and spirit of sportsmanship that the game of basketball requires.”
The teenage girl who was punched suffered a concussion, according to her family attorney. At the time, the lawyer told us the family was considering filing a lawsuit.

UFO Sighting Pilot Records Series of Bright Lights Flying Over Pacific
A pilot was joined by more than just other commercial airline flights over the Pacific Ocean during a recent trip, recording what he believes was an entire fleet of UFOs.
The video, believed to have been recorded in the last few weeks, shows between 9 and sometimes up to 12 of the bright objects. You can see some light up and dim at random periods, but their pacing and speed seem to remain consistent.
According to reports, the pilot was flying at about 39,000 feet ... you can hear him say, "That is some weird s***. That is something flying," as the lights continue to grow and move.
Doubters believe the lights could be anti-missile flares shot from another plane or even ship below ... but there's no proof yet to support that either.
The published sighting comes on the heels of the Dept. of Defense announcing the launch of a UFO task force. The new government initiative has been hit with plenty of criticism from skeptics who believe the move is simply The Pentagon wanting to control and hide reported sightings.

Soccer's Samantha Kerr Bodies Fan After Running On Field ... During Game
Chelsea soccer player Samantha Kerr ain't fond of fans on the field --- 'cause she straight-up leveled an intruder who interrupted a match this week ... and the video is wild.
It all went down Wednesday night during the 87th minute of the Champions League match between Chelsea vs. Juventus ... when a man in a black jacket and grey sweats walked onto the pitch and tried to get selfies with the players.
His attempt had consequences, 'cause when he walked towards the Chelsea forward, she hit him with a ferocious body check that sent him flying to the turf.
The crowd was very impressed with the 28-year-old's maneuver, yelling "ooooohhh" while the fan was laid out on the ground.
He eventually got up and ran away ... when security finally came through and took him away.
The crazy part?? Kerr was actually penalized for the defensive stop on the intruder ... receiving a yellow card from the refs.
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes spoke about Kerr's actions ... saying, "it should serve as a reminder to us all in our stadiums and with our stewards we've got to put out player protection first."
"He could have waited until the end for a photograph if he really wanted one."

Mountain Lion Comes Face-to-Face with Family Dog In Terrifying Video
Things could have ended much worse for a family's dog had it not been for a pane of glass stopping a hungry mountain lion from making it dinner.
The video, taken by a woman in Colorado, shows her dog named Dash frozen in fear as the mountain lion spots it from outside. The mountain lion seems puzzled by the barrier, trying different ways to get in, even tapping on the glass with its paw.

Finally, the mountain lion gives up ... walking away into the backyard, and that's when Dash finds his courage again, barking as the animal trots off.
