Colleen Ballinger Denies Grooming Allegations ... Ripped For 'Apology' Video
YouTube star Colleen Ballinger, best known for her Internet character Miranda Sings, is denying grooming allegations against her with a song ... and for some folks, it's falling flat.
Colleen picked up a ukulele and recorded a 10-minute video where she sings about the disturbing claims against her being nothing but gossip and lies.
In case you missed it ... Colleen's been accused of grooming a teenage boy, who grew up to be YouTube star Adam McIntyre. She broke her silence Wednesday with her singing video.
Colleen says her team strongly advised her not to say what she wants to say, but she says that doesn't mean she can't sing about her reaction ... so here we are.
In the song, Colleen puts it bluntly, "The only thing I've ever groomed is my two Persian cats."
She adds ... "I'm not a groomer, just a loser / who didn't understand I shouldn't respond to fans / and I'm not a predator even a lot of you think so / because five years ago I made a fart joke."
Colleen's song isn't going over so well online ... folks are blasting her on social media, with some fans telling her this wasn't the right way to address the serious allegations.
The overwhelming consensus, it seems, Colleen's not taking this seriously and is playing the victim.

Allen, TX Mass Shooting Cop Engages ASAP, Kills Gunman ... Stunning Body Cam Footage
-
Breaking News
- 566 shares
The first police officer on the scene of the Allen, TX mass shooting last month wasted no time in grabbing his weapon and engaging the gunman ... all captured in dramatic body cam footage.
The footage, released Wednesday, starts with the unnamed Allen PD officer talking to a family in the parking lot of the Allen Premium Outlets in a friendly exchange about the importance of wearing seatbelts ... when all of a sudden, gunshots ring out.
The officer immediately goes from nice guy to action hero -- immediately grabbing his rifle and running toward the gunshots -- all while radioing to his supervisors for assistance.
As the officer gets closer, he sees bodies on the ground, letting his dispatcher know it appears to be a mass-shooter event. Finally, the officer gets eyes on the gunman, and opens fire -- taking him down with multiple shots.
The hero cop is eventually joined by another officer, and they approach the body of the shooter, Mauricio Garcia, sprawled out and bloody.
It's absolutely stunning and admirable how quickly this officer sprung into action ... and he very likely saved numerous lives that day.
As we've reported ... Garcia shot and killed 8 people -- including several minors -- and injured 7 others in his rampage. No motive has been identified for his actions ... but he spewed hate online and even sported swastika tattoos.
The deadly use of force by Allen PD was actually taken before a grand jury, and a "no bill" decision was returned -- meaning the jurors found this officer acted appropriately and that killing Garcia was warranted under the law.

NYC Subway Station Attack Woman Flattened By Lunatic's Sucker Punch ... Caught On Video
Cops are searching for a dangerous assailant who knocked the crap out of a woman in an NYC subway station ... and the unprovoked attack was all caught on video.
Check out the SCARY footage ... it starts rather calmly with the woman peering down at her cell phone as she's walking along the platform at Clinton-Washington Avenues Station in Brooklyn last Sunday.
The suspect then appears, heading toward her in the opposite direction ... as the two pass each other on the platform, the guy hauls off and socks the woman in the face, knocking her down.
Dazed and confused, the woman covers her injured face with her hands as a good Samaritan rushes to her aid from a subway idling in the station.
The woman later posted video of the assault to TikTok, showing her black eye and blaming herself for not paying attention by staring at her phone.
Meanwhile, the perpetrator dashed out of the station and is currently being sought by NYPD detectives.
Let's hope they find this lunatic.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush Video From 1 Of His Final Sub Journeys ... New Look Inside Titan
Here's video from one of Stockton Rush's final dives in the OceanGate submersible ... a failed expedition from weeks before the fatal implosion.
YouTuber Jake "DALLMYD" says he was on the Titan for a mission to the Titanic shipwreck earlier this year, and he recorded his experience with Stockton at the controls.
In this expedition, Stockton shows off the infamous video game controller he uses to maneuver the tiny submersible ... and the footage also highlights the cramped quarters inside.
The sub went into the water but the dive was ultimately canceled after a series of malfunctions and poor weather conditions ... on this trip, they never made it deep below the surface, and didn't get anywhere near the Titanic shipwreck on the bottom of the Atlantic.
Of course, Stockton took the same sub on another expedition Sunday with different passengers ... and it imploded.
"Titanic" director James Cameron blamed Stockton for the ill-fated journey ... saying he ignored safety concerns much like the captain of the real Titanic.
It's pretty interesting footage in hindsight ... and Jake wonders what may have happened to this group if the sub dove deeper on his abbreviated expedition.

NFL Super Agent Drew Rosenhaus Forget Negotiations W/ GMs I'm Wrestling Sharks!!!
Drew Rosenhaus went from being a proverbial shark on Tuesday ... to wrestling an actual one -- and the wild scene was all captured on video!!!
The NFL super agent's chaotic meeting with the sea beast happened just minutes ago while he was out fishing with his client, Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill.
You can see in footage that Rosenhaus just posted to his Twitter page ... as he was out in the ocean snorkeling, a shark pulled up to the boat -- but instead of swimming away in fear, he went toward it!!
People on the ship urged Drew to think twice ... but the man who's helped negotiate over $7 BILLION in NFL contracts put his hands on the shark nonetheless, and then pulled it toward him!
Rosenhaus could be seen in the footage then urging people on the boat to then take a picture.
One of the best parts of the clip? One of the fisherman asked Hill if he wanted to join in on the water party with Drew ... and Tyreek's answer was priceless.
"Hell nah!" the wide receiver exclaimed.
Seems Rosenhaus was able to make it back in the boat with all of his limbs intact ... and, yeah, that sound you just heard was a big sigh of relief from all of his clients who are hoping he can help make them some serious bank this season.

Jazz music is all about improvisation, and one eager Jazz Festival fan proved it when her big moment at the famed Hollywood Bowl came crashing down in spectacular fashion!!!
So, the Bowl's annual Jazz Festival is going down this weekend, and on Saturday evening St. Paul and the Broken Bones had the crowd all fired up ... especially one fan who saw her chance to get close to lead singer Paul Janeway.
As Paul was walking through the crowd, she jumped onto the ledge where he was standing ... not realizing it was very narrow, and immediately plummeted through a canopy!
The crowd gasped, and it sure looked like she would be injured -- remember the band's name, too -- but as quickly as she went down, the woman bounced right back up, aided by Paul and security.
Wild moment, and hard to tell what's more impressive -- her rebound move after the fall, or the fact Paul and the band never missed a beat!
Security escorted the fan away, but, miraculously, there was no call for an ambulance.
Don't believe it when people say jazz is boring!

Travis Barker Surprise Reaction to Kourt Baby News ... Caught on New Video
-
Exclusive Video
- 46.4K shares
Update
3:29 PM PST -- TMZ has obtained more footage that shows the moments before Kourtney started flashing her "I'm Pregnant" sign ... and yet a new angle of their passionate kiss.
Check out this video we got our hands on ... it's a new angle that shows what was going on ahead of the big reveal, and it looks like Kourt had a gang of support on hand ready for her to throw up the sign. Once she did, the Blink-182 guys saw it almost immediately ... and flagged Travis onstage. BTW, some of her sisters (and their kids) were there too ... a whole family affair, it seems.
Once Trav reached Kourtney in the front row, they started kissing ... or making out, rather. The angle we saw earlier didn't quite show what we have here -- a straight up lovefest.
Yeah, he's stoked to be a daddy again. Good stuff, indeed.
1:06 PM PST -- Travis Barker was truly stunned when he learned that his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, was expecting a child ... which you can now see in full view in new video obtained by TMZ.
Check out this footage that shows the moment TB got the announcement communicated to him onstage. He seems to be genuinely confused at first, not really realizing the news is for him -- but once it all clicks, you can see his reaction ... shocked and overjoyed.
Just like other videos show, he hops down to embrace KK ... and they smooch. Sounds like the whole thing was just as much as a surprise for him as it was for everyone else.
Congrats again!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Kourtney Kardashian brought down the house at the Blink-182 concert Friday night with some earth-shattering news ... she's pregnant!!
The reality star was standing in a packed crowd watching her hubby Travis Barker and his bandmates perform Friday night at BMO Stadium in L.A. when she raised a large sign bearing an even larger message ... "Travis, I'm Pregnant."
Video of the super happy moment went viral ... showing Kourt smiling and jumping up and down with joy while holding the sign over her head.
After seeing the message, Travis stopped slapping the drums and jumped off stage to plant a big kiss on Kourt, celebrating their first child together.
Of course, everyone in the stadium -- fans and Trav's bandmates -- were cheering for the lovebirds. Kourt's sign, BTW, recreates a scene from Blink's "All the Small Things" music video.
And, no, it wasn't just for show ... Kourt later confirmed the pregnancy on her Instagram story.
As we reported, Kourt and Trav got hitched at a Santa Barbara courthouse in May 2022 after their decade-long friendship blossomed into a romance. A week later, they threw a more lavish wedding at the Dolce & Gabbana mansion in Portofino, Italy.
Around this time, Kourt started documenting her struggles with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) -- a technique used to help people with fertility problems have babies.
Kourt even talked about it on her family's Hulu show, "The Kardashians," revealing her experience with IVF wasn't great and calling it "awful" at one point. Worse, Kourt said her prescribed medication for her IVF treatments caused her to go into menopause and, as a result, she fell into a depression and gained some weight.
She then put a pause on IVF altogether while freezing her eggs in the hopes of having her fourth child. While we don't know for sure, it's probably a good guess Kourt's egg freezing did the trick this time around. No word yet on No. 4's gender or name, but that should be forthcoming.
Kourtney shares three children with her ex Scott Disick: Mason Disick, 13, Penelope Disick, 10, and Reign Disick, 8. Travis, on the other hand, has 2 kids with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler: Landon Barker, 19, Alabama Barker, 17, plus his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24.
Now the couple can add one more kiddo to their enormous blended family list. Congrats you two!!

Monet Painting Wiped With Red Paint By Climate Activists ... Glue Themselves To Art
Two climate activists were detained in a Swedish museum ... after taking a bunch of red paint to a world-famous Monet painting as part of their protest.
The latest art-related demonstration went down at Sweden's National Museum Wednesday in Stockholm, when 2 members of the Restore Wetlands activist group wiped bright-red paint across "The Artist’s Garden at Giverny."
The two also glued their hands to the work of art -- although a piece of glass protected it from actually getting damaged.
The 2 women, speaking in Swedish, shouted about human health being at stake while asking for peat mining to be banned and to restore the Swedish wetlands ... after some time, security came in to surround the activists.
They both were reportedly detained after the stunt, although it's unclear if anything further happened to them.
This is just the latest activist group to target a piece of art -- we've seen Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" doused in tomato soup, cake smeared over the Mona Lisa, and another Monet painting get covered with mashed potatoes.
Rome's Trevi Fountain was also recently dyed black by climate activists ... garnering a massive crowd, as well as a few officers to drag them out of the water.

Terror In The Skies Bird Crashes Through Cockpit Blood-Soaked Pilot Keeps His Cool
An Ecuadorian pilot was greeted by a bird at 10,000 feet after it smashed through the cockpit ... forcing the aviator to keep his cool while maintaining flight.
The clip began making rounds Wednesday, showing some sort of dead massive bird dangling right in front of pilot, Ariel Valiente, above Vinces, a city in the Los Rios Province of Ecuador.
Most shockingly, however, is the fact Valiente keeps the small aircraft in the air ... even turning the camera on himself to show his blood-covered face. He seems pretty unfazed by the terrifying ordeal. The blood is likely from the feathered-creature ... but hard to tell for sure.
Obviously, the people on social media are havin' a field day with the whole thing. While some applaud the pilot for not freaking out, one user said it looked like a scene "straight outta horror movie."
Seems like a great premise for the sequel to Hitchcock's "The Birds" ... just saying.

PGA Golfer Adam Hadwin Leveled By Security At Canadian Open ... For Celebrating Friend's Win
A security guard was left saying "sorrey" after the Canadian Open on Sunday ... when he mistakenly LAID OUT a PGA Tour golfer who ran onto the green to celebrate his buddy's big victory!!
The wild moment went down shortly after Nick Taylor nailed a 72-foot eagle putt to win the tournament on the fourth playoff hole in Toronto ... which made him the first Canada native to win the event in more than half a century.
Adam Hadwin -- who finished tied for 12th place in the same tourney -- was super stoked for his fellow Canadian's historic win ... so he grabbed a bottle of champagne and sprayed it as he darted toward Taylor.
But one security guard went into protective mode before Hadwin could even get near the big winner ... 'cause he rushed over and put the pro's ass on the grass!!
A group of people darted over to check on Hadwin right after the brutal hit ... but thankfully, he wasn't injured. Taylor looked upset over it all ... yelling as he watched his friend get laid out.
Hadwin has been a good sport about it all, though ... cracking jokes and having a playful interaction with Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen.
I think I’ll stick to golf! https://t.co/KfKtLPNb5o
— adam hadwin (@ahadwingolf) June 12, 2023 @ahadwingolf
Hadwin's wife, Jessica, also laughed off the situation ... saying, "I'm thrilled to report that @ahadwingolf is still among the land of the living and in true Canadian form, apologized to the security guard for being tackled."
Who says golf is boring?!?!

UFO Sighting Vegas Family Claims to See Aliens ... Object Caught on Bodycam
A Las Vegas-area family reported seeing aliens roaming their backyard after a supposed crash landing -- and the crazy part ... something strange was caught on police bodycam.
This happened in early May, but is just being reported now ... this after Vegas Metro released a bunch of footage related to the case. The family -- who haven't been ID'd -- called 911 on May 1 to report seeing 2 massive beings, standing at least 8-ft tall, roaming their property.
They say the ETs made their way into their backyard after what they described as a loud crash nearby ... part of which, it seems, might've actually been captured on bodycam footage taken by one of the responding officers that night. As you can see, it's a bright green glowing object that's descending from the sky ... and it was inadvertently recorded.
It appears another unit came out to further interview the family after the cop reported seeing the object -- giving credence, at least at first, to their story ... relayed via dispatch.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the only somewhat solid thing was filmed that night. Despite the family's claims -- they don't have any smoking gun picture or video of the "aliens" they described ... although there is 1 clip taken by them that's being picked apart.
The video shows the family reacting to something past their backyard gate and (possibly in their driveway). Some claim to see two aliens here, but it's eye of the beholder per usual.

In the end, Las Vegas Metro ended up closing the case as "unfounded" after not being able to find anything. Still, the interest it's generated has been huge -- with many believing this is one of the best accounts of an alien encounter possibly ever recorded in modern times.
Of course, it's interesting this is happening now ... on the heels of an alleged whistleblower going to the media to claim there's a secret UFO retrieval program that the US has been a part of for years -- with claims of research and attempted reverse engineering on our part.

Body Cam Footage Colorado Cop Punches Cuffed Woman In Face ... Fired From The Department
A Colorado cop socked an unruly woman in the face while she was in handcuffs ... and the assault was caught on video, leading to the officer's firing.
Loveland Police Chief Tim Doran released the body cam footage Friday, which showed Russell Maranto and his fellow officers escorting Angelia Hall into a hospital room on May 20. Hall was taken to the medical center for evaluation after she was placed in protective custody for wandering in traffic and mumbling to herself.
The clip begins with Hall parking herself in a chair with her hands cuffed behind her back and getting belligerent with the cops, shouting and cursing at them.
Maranto rips a piece of paper out of Hall's hand and walks away with it. As a result, Hall goes berserk, demanding her paper back as Maranto returns to try to calm her down.
But Hall can't contain her anger and hocks a loogie at Maranto, who then slams his fist into her face, causing minor injuries.
Three days later, Chief Doran terminated Maranto from his position and launched an investigation into the incident. Hall was charged with assault for her actions toward Maranto. The Larimer County D.A. is weighing whether to criminally charge Maranto.

'VANDERPUMP RULES' REUNION Ariana Rages at Raquel ... 'F*** Yourself with a F***ing Cheese Grater'
Ariana Madix coming face-to-face with Raquel Leviss is absolutely bonkers ... and the f-bomb-heavy rant over the affair with Tom Sandoval finally plays out on tonight's "Vanderpump Rules" reunion finale.
In a preview of the episode, Ariana and Raquel argue back and forth about the 'Scandoval' before Ariana explodes ... "You had already f***ed him at that point so shut the f*** up!"
It doesn't end there ... Ariana gives Raquel this very graphic piece of advice, "Go f*** yourself with a f***ing cheese grater. F*** you. You f***ing suck."
Tom tries to defend Rachel Raquel saying, "We don't live our lives by logic," and that sets off wild laughter in his face from nearly the entire cast.
Round 3 of the 3-part reunion seems to pick up right where it left off ... you''ll recall, Tom got roasted by his castmates over his affair, and clearly they have a lot more to say to him and his partner in crime.
Expect both of them to play the role of piñatas for the rest of the show. Hopefully, Andy Cohen doesn't have too much trouble with the clean-up.
We covered the 'Vanderpump Rules' drama in a recent episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Video from the game's broadcast shows the baseball careened through a nearby concourse ... as one man holding a toddler jogged after it.
But, you can see as the guy went down to grab it, he lost his balance ... and collapsed to the ground. As he was falling, the child he was holding smacked his head hard on the pavement.
The kid seemed to be in pain ... and even the game's broadcaster noticed it all go down, letting out an audible, "Oh!" as the two tumbled to the ground.
Thankfully, it doesn't seem the boy was significantly injured.
As for the game, N.C. State went on to lose, 11-1 ... ending its season.

Wild Smackdown Angry Husband Slaps Doctor!!! Claims Doc Sexually Assaulted Wife
Video captures an enraged husband's mission of vengeance ... storming the stage during a medical conference to slap the hell out of the doctor he alleges committed sexual assault on his wife.
The dramatic scene played out right in the middle of the annual American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), last month in Baltimore -- and the furious man confronted the physician while he was standing at a podium delivering a speech.
The man grabbed the doctor by his shirt and smacked him across the face, yelling, "You know what you did!" You touched my wife 7 years ago in New York. Don't be an ass****, bitch!"
And it didn't stop there. The guy slapped the doctor again, and screamed, "You're lucky this is America, because if this was Brazil, I'd kill you!!!"
He then headed for the exit with his wife, but continued to scream and point at the doctor, who did not appear to be injured, but was totally in shock.
Onlookers were also stunned, and one woman called for security as the husband charged back toward the doctor, shouting profanities.
Police did respond, and while the doctor didn't want to press charges, he requested the cops remove the husband from the premises. The doctor was not named, but he's reportedly a gynecologic oncologist at a New York hospital.
Organizers of the ACOG conference issued a statement condemning the violence and apologizing to anyone traumatized by the incident.

Pete Davidson Stabs David Blaine with Ice Pick ... Gross, Baffling Magic Trick!!!
David Blaine got an assist from Pete Davidson for a magic trick Friday night at his Las Vegas show, and TMZ has obtained video of the most shocking moment.
Check it out for yourself ... David kicked things off at his Resorts World performance by escorting Pete and his friend from the packed crowd to the stage, where 4 cups were lined up across a table ... and Pete was asked to choose one of the cups ... which contained an object that would be used in the trick.
Pete picked the right cup and David uncovered the scary object -- which was a large ice pick. Pete and his buddy confirmed its sharpness by touching the spike, and told David ... "Yup, you're nuts."
Then, while Pete duct taped David's eyes closed ... Pete's friend arranged 3 of the cups on the table and placed the needle sticking upward under one of them. The now-blindfolded Blaine then put his hands over 2 of the cups, and crushed them -- and while the audience shrieked in horror ... David escaped injury.
Of course, the ice pick was in the 3rd cup ... otherwise, this would be a much different story.
The danger wasn't over, though ... David asked Pete to stab him with the ice pick, and he did -- pushing the needle through David's arm until it came out the other side. The crowd was grossed out, but also impressed ... and, no doubt, confused.
David didn't seem bothered by the ice pick dangling from his arm-- and even brought a boy on stage to have him pull the needle out of his bicep.
Fun times!!
