40 YARD DOGGY DASH
USAA, Official NFL Salute to Service Partner

Joe Thomas has gone from playing in front of the Dawg Pound to getting bitten by them -- the Cleveland Browns legend was viciously attacked by canines in a crazy demonstration at a military base!!

The 2023 Hall of Fame inductee and fellow ex-NFL star Whitney Mercilus hit up the Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio in partnership with USAA ... where they got a full VIP meet and greet with the four-legged military sidekicks that are trained to locate explosives, narcotics, and personnel.

Thomas and Mercilus found out firsthand just how talented these doggos are ... 'cause they threw on some bite suits and agreed to run a 40-yard dash while being chased down by the animals.

Tech. Sergeant Hendrix warned Thomas and Mercilus before the demo ... "They are trained to bite and hold until we tell them to let go."

Despite the head's up, Thomas and Mercilus were ready to go against the dog with the strongest bite out of the bunch ... and let's just say they were doomed from the start.

The video is unreal -- Thomas barely made it a few strides before the dog launched into his back, clinging on for dear life before bringing the former offensive tackle to a complete stop.

"My heart rate was as high as I can remember, probably since I was playing football," Thomas said.

Both Thomas and Mercilus ended up being dragged to the ground by the military dog during the drill ... and thankfully, they made it out alive.

"It was awesome to see both these military working dogs and their handlers, who help protect our country," Thomas tweeted. "Thank you for your service!"

'Messi Of Matadors' Gored By 1,100-Pound Bull ... During Show In Spain

GORY OUTCOME
Twitter / @Desde_ElTendido

Bullfighting star Andrés Roca Rey -- aka the "Messi of Matadors" -- suffered gruesome injuries during a show in Spain on Tuesday ... after he was terrifyingly gored by a 1,100-pound beast.

The horrifying incident happened at the Santiago de Santander Fair ... when Roca Rey was attempting to lure a bull through his cape.

The matador stared down the animal for several seconds ... but when it finally charged -- it ended up catching Roca Rey right in the thigh. It then took him for a scary ride.

The bull tosses Andrés in the air ... before ramming him into the stadium's boards. The bull then appears to stick its horns in the man -- before turning its attention to other matadors who had jumped in to help.

Roca Rey's teammate, Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez, jumped in the ring and managed to divert the bull's attention away from Roca Rey but was then gored by the bull as well suffering a fractured rib.

Reportedly, Roca Rey was taken to the hospital with wounds to his knee -- and bruises on his neck, face, and legs.

Fortunately for the fighter, however, he avoided life-threatening wounds ... and took to Instagram just hours later to thank his teammate and fellow matador Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez who jumped in to save him and was attacked and gored by the bull as well, suffering a fractured right rib.

Roca Rey is considered one of the best bullfighters in the world -- earning comparisons to Lionel Messi for the way he dominated his sport after moving to Spain from South America.

Cubs, White Sox Fans Get In Wild Brawl In Suite ... During Rivalry Game

The Cubs vs. White Sox game on Tuesday night was a bit of snooze ... but in the stands, it was anything but that -- 'cause several fans of both teams beat the hell out of each other during a wild melee.

The action actually happened inside of a suite at Guaranteed Rate Field as the Cubbies were rolling over their crosstown rival, 7-3, on the diamond ... and you can see, there were so many people involved in the rumble, it looked like a WWE match in the box.

Both men and women clad in Cubs and Sox jerseys were in the mix ... throwing punches and kicks with regularity.

At one point, one woman violently swung her foot into another's face three straight times.

Eventually, however, bystanders pulled the combatants away from each other -- and order was restored.

It's unclear if any arrests were made.

As for the crosstown rivalry, the Cubs not only won on Tuesday -- but they beat the Sox again on Wednesday ... giving them bragging rights until they both face off once more in August.

Wrexham, Manchester United Field Invader Blasted By Security ... After Wild Run On Pitch

A field invader during the Wrexham vs. Manchester United game found out very quickly he should've just stayed in his seat ... because moments after he stormed the pitch -- he was decked by security.

The man's wild run during the much-anticipated exhibition soccer game all went down on Tuesday night in San Diego at Snapdragon Stadium.

In the second half of the tilt ... the fan, for some reason, hopped over a stadium wall, stripped off his shirt -- and took a joyride through the players on the field.

Video shot from fans inside the venue shows the man was able to avoid guards for a while ... but once they caught up to him, they plowed him into the turf.

Somehow -- despite the brutal blow -- the guy was able to get up ... though he was eventually led off the field in cuffs.

Despite the bizarre scene ... Wrexham -- playing in America for the first time ever -- was able to cruise to a big, 3-1 win -- much to team owner Rob McElhenney's delight!

CRANE CHAOS

A scene straight out of a Hollywood thriller unfolded in NYC, as a crane not only caught fire, but collapsed and crashed into a neighboring building ... sending people below running for cover.

The crane was operating on a vacant building near Hudson Yards when it caught fire. Emergency crews responded almost immediately but were essentially helpless as it burned hundreds of feet in the air.

Eventually, the flames got to be too much, and the crane snapped ... striking a neighboring building and falling to the ground.

You can see people scrambling for safety on the ground, and reports say 4 civilians and one firefighter were injured from the debris. Thankfully, their injuries were non-life-threatening.

In a scene straight out of a Hollywood action film ... a car careened off an embankment on a San Francisco hilltop street and rocketed through a line of trees, crashing upside down to the roadway below.

But this was no movie ... the real-life accident was recorded by Nest cameras and 2 videos were uploaded to YouTube. Miraculously, everyone walked away from Saturday's crash with their lives fully intact.

The clip below is shot from the top of the street and shows the vehicle barreling through a guardrail in a residential area, plummeting into a small forest while flipping over several times.

Pedestrians rushed over to help several passengers out of the wreckage. All of the occupants fled on foot after one was overheard saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I've got to go."

Witnesses told NBC Bay Area News ... the vehicle might have been stolen. San Francisco PD is investigating, but no arrests have been made.

DIRECTOR DROPS IN

"Barbie" director Greta Gerwig not only made a huge splash on the silver screen, but she dazzled audiences when she showed up unannounced at a viewing of the movie in NYC.

Greta made heads turn and jaws drop as she strolled inside a theater before the showing of "Barbie" at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn Friday, which was the official release date of the much talked about film.

Gerwig stood in front of her captivated audience, thanking them for their interest in the flick that she and her cast created with "so much joy and hope." She then told them to enjoy the movie and walked away.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Alamo Drafthouse later posted a series of Instagram photos highlighting the moment Greta spoke in front of the crowd.

The caption, in part, read, "Last night we invited our pal Greta Gerwig to surprise the crowd at a sold out showing of BARBIE and minds were blown! There were cheers. There were tears. There was lots and lots of pink."

Meanwhile, Barbie is already making bank at the box office after getting mostly good reviews. The movie raked in $22 million in preview ticket sales, while Forbes estimates "Barbie" could also snag over $100 million in it's opening weekend domestically.

Jason Aldean Dashes Off Stage Mid-Performance ... Latest Heat Stroke Victim

UPDATE

6:30 AM PT -- Just as we thought, the concert venue tells TMZ he pulled the plug on the show because he was experiencing heat stroke. He's doing ok and Jason Aldean's team is working on a rescheduled date.

Jason ran into trouble during his Connecticut concert Saturday night ... he was filmed bolting offstage in the middle of a song, and although we don't know, there are signs it was heat-related.

The country star was performing in the heat and humidity at the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford when he stopped singing and buried his face in his upper arm. It looks like he was wiping off sweat, then he just ran off stage.

Check out this video ... Jason starts belting out the words again while standing at the mic, but it's all very brief, and that was the end of the show. Something is clearly wrong.

We don't know what happened after that ... but one of Jason's fans took to Twitter to provide some details.

She wrote ... "It was hotter than hell. It was bad enough just standing in the pit I can't imagine performing in jeans, boots, and hat under all those lights in that humidity with no breeze. Hope he's okay!"

She also said Jason never returned, and the show was cut short. Jason is currently on his "Highway Desperado" tour, so we hope it's not too serious.

We've reached out to Jason's reps for comment ... so far no word back.

Steph Curry Sinks Hole-in-One!!! ... At Tahoe Golf Tourney

Steph Curry sinks it from deep on the basketball court, and he can do the same on the golf course too ... just take a look at what he did in Tahoe this weekend.

The Warriors star was playing in the American Century Championship tournament Saturday, and he took a big swing on the 7th hole ... which is a whopping 152 yards to the green. Welp, he had no issue getting the ball there -- in fact, the dude hit a freakin' hole-in-one!!!

Check it out ... he lets off a beautiful swing, and the ball goes soaring where it needs to be. As the announcers note, he can really play ... proven by the fact that he sunk it in one shot.

His celebration was just as awesome ... SC goes running toward the green with his arms extended, this as the crowd goes wild all around him. Steph takes a victory lap around his landing zone and hugs it out with his team and caddies. Indeed, it was quite something.

BTW, the dude's been pulling off crazy trick shots like this throughout the tournament ... including a fantastic putt yesterday, which looked magical as it veered left and went right into the hole. Movie stuff, really.

As it stands, Steph's leading the pack in the celeb-packed standings. At this rate, he'll probably take the cake -- and might even have a whole new career on his hands post-NBA!

TATUM TUMBLE
TikTok / @maddiesmith7799

Jayson Tatum's appearance at Drake's concert on Wednesday night turned out to be a very painful experience for one fan ... 'cause during her freak-out over the Celtics star's cameo -- she wiped out down six rows of stairs.

The wild incident happened in the nosebleeds at TD Garden arena during the It's All A Blur Tour's stop in Boston ... after the rapper introduced the NBA star to the sold-out crowd.

The woman started to jump up and down when Tatum got on stage -- and she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Jayson Tatum!!"

But, somehow during the meltdown, she lost her balance ... tripped over a chair -- and then face-planted all the way down several steps.

Check out the footage of the fall ... she hit the pavement HARD.

No word on if she suffered any significant injuries ... but the TikTok user who posted the clip humorously captioned it, "big tatum fan!" -- so we get the vibe she's doing all right.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The night otherwise went off without a hitch ... and Drake seemed to be very pleased with his work inside the Celtics' home -- saying on his IG after the show, "Who else can get the Garden b(l)ooming like this?"

Next stop for Drake's tour is the Bell Centre in Montreal ... try to stay safe in your seats, everyone!

Tom Sandoval Cryin' A River At SUR ... While Filming 'VPR'

ALL ALONE
TMZ.com

Getting back with his "Vanderpump Rules" cast members isn't going smoothly for Tom Sandoval -- new video shows him breaking down during their first night out together, but ya gotta wonder if they're crocodile tears.

Witnesses tell TMZ ... Tom was having a chat with his jeweler pal Kyle Chan at SUR Tuesday night in WeHo. As we reported, the whole cast -- except Raquel Leviss -- was there and, around 9 PM, things took an emotional turn.

Check out the clip, Tom starts wiping away his tears, but it's hard to tell what got him in his feels. Ariana Madix was only a stone's throw away from him, so that could've been a factor.

Another possibility, though, is ... producers told him to look distraught. The lighting wasn't great, so we're not gonna vouch for the authenticity of this cry-sesh. You make the call!

On the other hand, Ariana was looking pretty happy and chatting it up with the ladies at the same time Tom got weepy -- but separate 'VPR' cameras were rolling on both scenes.

Remember, Tom, Ariana, and other cast members all stepped into SUR to watch James Kennedy DJ and to grab dinner with Lisa Vanderpump ... marking the first time this season the whole cast has been seen under the same roof.

YELLING MATCH
BACKGRID

Scheana Shay got into it with Tom outside the restaurant that night, and you could hear her shout at him, "If you hadn't f***ed Raquel," before walking away.

All the repeated tongue lashings -- which started during the reunion special taping -- could be pushing Sandoval over the edge, or he just knows 'VPR' is now the biggest reality show ... and he's got a role to play.

Vegas SWAT Descends on Caesars Palace Man Claims to Have Weapon, Holes Up

UPDATE

3:18 PM PT -- The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department just released a statement saying they've taken the suspect into custody.

UPDATE

They added, "The female who was also in the room is safe and with officers. There will be a large police presence with vehicles as this investigation continues and units disperse."

A man claiming to have a gun is barricaded in a hotel room at Caesars Palace, holding a woman against her will, and chucking large items through a window ... and now, SWAT's on the scene.

LETTING FURNITURE FLY

Cops say this started Tuesday morning with a call for possible domestic violence at the famed casino resort. When officers arrived, they say the man bolted into a room as they were trying to make contact -- he told them he wasn't coming out. Not just that, but he said he was armed.

BTW, Metro PD says he's not in there by himself ... the guy yanked a woman into the room with him before things went south -- and now, he's shattered windows as he throws items out of his room ... which is on a high floor. One reported object that's come down is a chair.

The authorities are telling people to clear the area or to take cover ... and there are videos and photos circulating online showing guests and passersby doing just that, hiding in fear.

WHAT WENT DOWN

Considering the man might have a weapon on him, and could start firing out the windows ... the police have called in SWAT officers who are getting into position throughout the area. A crisis negotiating team is also on site.

Police say no shots have been fired yet.

Of course, what comes to mind here is the 2017 Las Vegas massacre ... where Stephen Paddock opened fire from a hotel room in the Mandalay Bay Hotel during a music festival, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds of others.

Harry Styles God that Hurt!!! Hit in Face with Flying Object During Concert

Harry Styles is the latest victim of an overzealous fan hurling something his way on stage ... because Harry got hit with some sort of flying object right in the middle of his set.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Harry was in Vienna for Love on Tour ... and as he walked along the stage an object hits him around his left eye. You see he's visibly in pain, putting his hands up to his face, and almost doubles over, but then pushes through the pain and keeps walking off-stage.

This is the latest in a string of dangerous incidents for singers. As you know, Bebe Rexha was hit in the face with a cellphone with such force, she had to stop the show and get stitches.

Wild Toy Store Robbery Robber Holds Everybody at Gunpoint ... Kids Totally Freaked Out

toy robber cash
HANDS UP !!!
Mesa PD

Shocking new video shows a gunman sticking up an Arizona toy store while kids are frozen in fear with their hands up.

The surveillance footage, recently obtained by AZFamily news, captures the masked thief brandishing his pistol as he barges into Teddy Bears El Paraiso in Mesa, AZ, on April 16.

He first points the gun at two customers and orders them to stand against a wall along with three children -- one of whom was playing on the floor.

The intruder then goes to the counter and demands money from the register as the scared customers raise their arms above their heads.

A shop manager starts handing over bills to the robber, who suddenly gets impatient, reaching over the counter and grabbing the cash drawer.

Meanwhile, another shopper unwittingly walks into the store and he, too, ends up against the wall with his hands up.

The suspect then bolts from the store with $800 and is still on the loose. No injuries were reported.

Steve-O Jumps Off Tower of London Bridge ... Cops Detain Him Over Stunt

LONDON LEAP
Steve-O

Steve-O taking a plunge from one of London's famous landmarks has him in hot water with cops ... who were waiting for him moments after he splashed into the River Thames.

The "Jackass" star tells TMZ ... he's in England to tape his third comedy special, so on Thursday he jumped off the Tower of London Bridge and was promptly detained by cops.

TMZ obtained video of the crazy stunt, and you see Steve-O counting down in front of a crowd before jumping off the bridge ... all while decked out in all sorts of Union Jack gear, including an umbrella.

Steve-O says he spent a good portion of the afternoon in a police car and says cops told him their issue with his stunt is it might encourage others to make suicidal leaps from the famed bridge.

In the end, Steve-O says police let him go, and, as far as he's concerned, the craziest part wasn't the jump ... it's the state of the Thames.

Steve-O says the river was absolutely filthy ... which probably isn't a great combo with the new big tattoo he's sporting on his leg. Dirty water isn't exactly great for open wounds.

The bridge jump wasn't Steve-O's only stunt of the trip ... he says he also jumped off one of those famous double-decker buses, which he considered much worse than the bridge jump. Yeah, pavement makes for a tougher landing than water.

You're welcome, England ... for the crash course in entertainment.

Cheerio!!!

In-Flight Freakout Woman Claims to See Something ... Which Isn't Actually There

update

2:27 PM PT -- Carrot Top was apparently on the same flight with this woman, and he's writing her off as a wacko who did this just for thrills.

070423-carrot-top-kal
AIRLINE CHAOS

The dude documented the whole thing on IG -- and he says she reacted this way over a lost earbud but didn't really elaborate on what he meant. What he did expound on was the fact that everyone did, in fact, have to deplane over this ... and that it left him sour.

He says they eventually made it back on and hit their ultimate stop in Orlando -- but not before a lot of drama and hand-wringing. He also seems to suggest this woman was actually dealt with by the authorities -- but it's unclear if she actually got hauled away or anything.

A woman started channeling "Final Destination" vibes during a wild meltdown, -- this after storming off a flight before it took off ... claiming to see something that nobody else could.

This happened Sunday on an American Airlines flight leaving the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, -- unclear where it was heading exactly. In any case, before the plane took off ... some lady sitting toward the back made a big scene in what can only be described as a freakout.

Watch ... the woman makes her way up the aisle and is cussing up a storm, saying she's getting off the aircraft for a reason -- namely, there's an imaginary man onboard.

She points toward the rear, seemingly ID'ing someone she believes is there, and insists ... the invisible dude isn't real. Then comes a scary statement -- the woman says the rest of the passengers can stay onboard if they want, but she's not gonna die with the rest of them.

Nobody is escorting her out in this clip, and word is ... she did end up getting off the plane without any further incident, including an arrest or mental evaluation. Of course, everyone was confused by what the heck she was talking about ... but it sure spooked the cabin.

Reports say that the OG poster of this video -- who appears to have deleted their account -- claimed the flight was evacuated and that the trip was delayed a whopping three hours over this. Sounds like the crew took her concerns seriously enough to see what was what.

In the end, though, it appears the plane took off without any issues -- which is a relief.

Of course, what came to mind for many after seeing this was the OG horror film -- where the main character has a premonition of a plane blowing up ... which manifests. Freaky ... 💀
