"All I can say is it’s been quite a party!"
That's bull riding champion J.B. Mauney ... who is retiring at the age of 36 after breaking his neck in a scary accident during a recent competition.
The accident happened over the weekend at the PRCA ProRodeo event in Lewiston, Idaho ... and it was bad. J.B. was tossed from a bucking bull, and he landed right on his head/neck.
"I underwent surgery [at St. Joseph Regional Medical] on my neck which required a rod/plates/screws and the removal of a disc. Surgery went great," Mauney revealed on social media.

Congrats on a helluva career, J.B.!

TSA Agents Caught Red-Handed Stealing Money ... Video Shows Theft Ring
A couple of TSA agents were caught on video stealing money from passengers' luggage at a security checkpoint -- and now both are under arrest!!
The sticky-fingered suspects, Labarrius Williams and Josue Gonzalez, were on duty scoping out bags being scanned in Miami International Airport in late June and early July.
On both occasions, the Transportation Security Administration agents worked in tandem to snatch money from carry-ons stashed in bins on a conveyer belt, according to a police affidavit.
Check out the surveillance footage ... Williams and Gonzalez are standing at the carousel, using it to loot cash from a constant stream of other people's personal belongings. You can see the men stuffing their hands into the bags and shoving the bills into their pockets.
The alleged thieves were arrested in July and charged with grand theft, along with a third TSA employee, Elizabeth Fuster. But the case against Fuster -- who was originally accused of stealing $600 from someone’s wallet -- was eventually dismissed.

Agentes del aeropuerto Pillados in fraganti robando dinero... Un video lo muestra
Un par de agentes de la Administración de Seguridad del Transporte (TSA) fueron grabados robando dinero del equipaje de los pasajeros en un control de seguridad, ¡¡¡y ahora ambos están bajo arresto!!!
Los sospechosos, Labarrius Williams y Josué González, estaban de servicio vigilando las maletas que se escaneaban en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Miami a finales de junio y principios de julio.
Según una declaración jurada de la policía, en ambas ocasiones los agentes de la Administración de Seguridad del Transporte trabajaron coordinados para sustraer dinero de los equipajes de mano, que escondían en los compartimentos de una cinta transportadora.
Echa un vistazo a las imágenes de vigilancia... Williams y González están de pie en el carrusel, utilizándolo para tomar dinero en efectivo de un flujo constante de pertenencias personales de otras personas. Se puede ver a los hombres introduciendo sus manos en las bolsas y metiéndose los billetes en los bolsillos.
Los presuntos ladrones fueron detenidos en julio y acusados de hurto mayor, junto con una tercera empleada de la TSA, Elizabeth Fuster. Pero el caso contra Fuster, acusada originalmente de robar 600 dólares de la cartera de alguien, fue finalmente desestimado.
Lisa Ling Los humanos no se unirán contra los extraterrestres Miren nuestro historial...
Lisa Ling no es una creyente extraterrestre, al menos cuando se trata de pensar que el descubrimiento de vida alienígena podría unir a todos los seres humanos.
Nos encontramos con Lisa en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles y nuestro fotógrafo le preguntó acerca de los supuestos cadáveres de extraterrestres que se mostraron recientemente en una sesión informativa sobre ovnis para el gobierno mexicano.
Lisa definitivamente no cree que los seres humanos se unirían si alguna vez nos enfrentamos a pruebas irrefutables de formas de vida extraterrestre, y de hecho, pareciera que piensa que ocurriría todo lo contrario.
Básicamente, dice que el pobre historial de extinción de animales en nuestro planeta nos muestra que trataremos a los extraterrestres del mismo modo, y nos dividiremos aún más.
Su opinión coincide con lo que Neil deGrasse Tyson nos dijo recientemente. Ambos predicen que el descubrimiento de vida extraterrestre no supondría un gran momento de armonía para todos los terrícolas.
Aunque parece que cada vez hay más evidencias de que no estamos solos en el universo, Lisa está más enfocada en que los humanos reparemos nuestras relaciones actuales con otras especies terrestres, con las que ya interactuamos a diario.
Lisa Ling Humans Won't Unite Against Aliens ... Just Look at Our Record!!!

Lisa Ling's not an extraterrestrial believer ... at least when it comes to the notion that the discovery of alien life might be the one thing to band all humans together.
We got Lisa at LAX and our photog asked her about the alleged alien corpses that were recently displayed during a UFO briefing for the Mexican government.
Lisa doesn't buy the idea human beings will unite as one if we are ever faced with irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial lifeforms, and actually, it sounds like she thinks the opposite would unfold.
Basically, Lisa says our poor track record with animal extinctions on our planet means we will treat aliens like crap too ... and become even more divided.
Lisa's view jibes with what Neil deGrasse Tyson recently told us ... they're both predicting the discovery of alien life would not be some big kumbaya moment for all Earthlings.
While there seems to be mounting evidence we're not alone in the universe, Lisa's more focused on repairing our existing relationships with other terrestrial species we already interact with on the daily.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

nadie piensa que el prófugo es un héroe popular Dice U.S. Marshal retirado
El hombre que se escapó de la cárcel en Pennsylvania y que actualmente está en la carrera no es el Robin Hood de la gente, y probablemente lo capturen pronto. Esas son las palabras de un ex U.S. Marshal.
Hablamos con Art Roderick el martes en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos al veterano oficial— que ha trabajado en casos como este con anterioridad— si Danelo Cavalcante está preparado para eludir a las autoridades para siempre, teniendo en cuenta que ha estado sin capturar durante casi 2 semanas.
Roderick cree que el fugitivo será llevado ante la justicia, sin embargo, reconoce que las cosas están empezando a verse un poco complicadas teniendo en cuenta que su ubicación está en constante cambio. Además, la única forma de hacer el seguimiento es por medio de la gente que lo ha visto y pronosticando a donde se dirige.
Dicho esto, Roderick confía en que Cavalcante será detenido y que es sólo cuestión de tiempo.
Por supuesto, el último desarrollo es preocupante, Cavalcante se robó un rifle de una casa en un pequeño pueblo de Pensilvania. Así que ahora está armado y es peligroso, lo que sin duda complica las cosas.
Roderick reconoce la gravedad de la situación, pero confía en que este tipo no quiere hacerle daño a nadie, lo más probable es que esté intentando huir del país.
A la pregunta de si los lugareños podrían aceptar su historia de bandido en la línea de los antihéroes estadounidenses como D.B. Cooper, Roderick responde que la gente de la zona sabe muy bien que no es un buen tipo y no lo aceptarán.
Para su información, Calvacante es un asesino convicto y se escapó de la prisión del condado de Chester en una de las fugas más descaradas en mucho tiempo.
Escaped PA Inmate Not Viewed as Folk Hero ... Says Retired U.S. Marshal

The man who escaped prison in Pennsylvania -- and who's currently on the run -- ain't no Robin Hood of the people, and he'll likely be caught soon ... so says a former U.S. Marshal.
We talked to Art Roderick Tuesday on "TMZ Live" and asked the veteran law enforcement official -- who's worked on cases like this one before -- if Danelo Cavalcante is primed to elude the authorities for good, considering he's gone uncaptured for almost 2 weeks.
Roderick tells us he does believe this fugitive will be brought to justice eventually, however ... he does acknowledge it's starting to look a little murky considering their ever-changing perimeters based on where this guy is spotted and where he might realistically be heading.
With that said ... Roderick is confident Cavalcante is going to be apprehended, and that it's just a matter of time.
Of course, the latest development is a concerning one -- Cavalcante snagged a rifle from someone's home in a small PA town. So, now, he's armed and dangerous ... which certainly ups the ante.
Roderick acknowledges the severity of the situation, but says he's confident this guy probably isn't out to hurt anyone -- in all likelihood, he's probably trying to flee the country.
On the question of whether locals might embrace his bandit-esque story -- in the vein of American antiheroes like D.B. Cooper -- Roderick halts that notion in its tracks, saying people in that area know damn well this isn't a good guy, and will not embrace him.
FWIW, Calvacante is a convicted murderer ... and he crab-walked his way out of Chester County Prison in one of the brashest escapes in a long time.

Caos en una boda pelea contra la policía Todo capturado en video
Una celebración se convirtió en caos cuando una boda en Rhode Island terminó en una pelea sin cuartel con los agentes de policía... y todo está en video.
Media docena de miembros de la fiesta de la boda fueron detenidos la madrugada del domingo después de una pelea con la policía fuera de un restaurante de Newport. Las imágenes muestran cómo el incidente pasó de una interacción tensa a un combate brutal.
En el vídeo, los puñetazos lanzados por ambas partes vuelan y se conectan y una mujer con un vestido naranja —que la policía identificó más tarde como Alexandra Flaherty— se ve pateando a un policía en la ingle.
Otra mujer de la boda queda inconsciente y cae al suelo cuando un agente la reduce.
En el informe obtenido por TMZ, el policía dice que la mujer estaba por alcanzar su arma de fuego cuando se dio la vuelta y le lanzó un puñetazo que conectó con su mandíbula. La policía dice que la mujer —más tarde identificada como Rachael Onik— finalmente tomó conciencia y fue detenida.
La policía dice que el marido de Rachael, David Onik, inició todo el asunto luego de que se le negara la entrada a un bar. La policía dice que David se puso violento con el personal del bar y llamaron a la policía.
La policía dice que cuando los oficiales llegaron a hablar con David, su esposa "comenzó a meterse en el incidente y a no cooperar" y cuando un oficial trató de hacerla retroceder, tropezó en la calle empedrada. Ahí es donde el vídeo recoge y se desata el desastre.
Las imágenes también muestran a un hombre con traje y corbata al que la policía identificó más tarde como Robert Nash, golpeando a un policía en la cara, tirándolo al suelo y golpeándolo después.
Cuando se calmaron los ánimos, tres hombres y tres mujeres fueron detenidos y acusados de delitos penales.
Wedding Party Fights Police In Wild Video!!!
Celebration turned to chaos as a Rhode Island wedding party got into an all-out brawl with police officers ... and it's all on video.
Half a dozen members of the wedding party were arrested early Sunday morning following a melee with cops outside a Newport restaurant ... and footage shows the incident escalating from a tense interaction to straight-up combat.
In the video, punches thrown by both sides fly and connect ... and a woman in an orange dress, who police later identified as Alexandra Flaherty, is seen kicking a cop in the groin.
Another woman in the wedding party gets knocked out cold ... hitting the deck when an officer throws her to the ground.
In the police report, obtained by TMZ, the cop says the woman was reaching for his firearm when he turned around and threw a punch connecting with her jaw. Police say the woman, later identified as Rachael Onik, eventually became conscious and was arrested.
Cops say Rachael's husband, David Onik, started the whole thing when he threw a fit after being denied entry to a bar. Police say David got physical with bar staff, who called the cops.
Police say when officers arrived to talk to David, his wife "began injecting herself into the incident and becoming uncooperative" ... and when an officer tried to move her back, she tripped on the cobblestone street. That's where the video picks up and all hell breaks loose.
Footage also shows a man in a suit and tie, who police later identified as Robert Nash, punching a cop in the face, taking him to the ground and then pummeling him.
When the dust settled, three men and three women were arrested and hit with criminal charges.

Dog the Bounty Hunter Eyeing PA Inmate Manhunt ... Could Join Search Soon
-
Exclusive
- 3.1K shares
Dog the Bounty Hunter wants to dive into the manhunt underway in Pennsylvania -- where a fugitive murderer is at large after a prison break -- but a few things need to happen first.
Sources close to the reality star tell TMZ that Dog's been monitoring the Danelo Cavalcante case for a while now -- pretty much ever since this guy broke out of prison almost 2 weeks ago -- and we're told he's actively keeping tabs on any developments.
What that actually amounts to ... our sources say Dog has been making a lot of phone calls over the past several days -- both to law enforcement sources he knows in PA and contacts he has elsewhere -- in order to get up to speed on the situation.
The big takeaway here, though, is the fact we're hearing Dog is actually considering flying out to Chester County as early as this week to get boots on the ground in the search for Danelo.
However, before he actually does ... we're told Dog feels like he needs a better sense of the lay of the land, as it doesn't sound like he's all that familiar with that area, specifically. But, if he can get a proper plan together, our sources say he's likely to head out and start looking.
This story is growing by the day, 'cause it's insane. This dude -- who's a convicted murderer -- broke out of Chester County prison via crab-walk, and then fled into the surrounding wooded area ... namely, Longwood Gardens, which encompasses nearly 200 acres.
As we reported, a man believed to be Cavalcante broke into and stole a rifle from a PA home Monday night ... it's currently unknown if he's injured, but he's now considered armed and dangerous.
He's also been spotted a handful of times over the past week and change -- popping up in Ring doorbell cameras, plus eyewitness sightings -- but he's eluded the cops thus far. If Dog pulls the trigger, he might have a world-renowned human tracker hot on his tail too.

Dog el Cazarrecompensas, sigue de cerca el caso de pennsylvania y podría unirse a la búsqueda
Dog the Bounty Hunter quiere sumergirse en la cacería humana que está ocurriendo en Pennsylvania, donde un asesino fugitivo está en libertad luego de escapar de prisión. Sin embargo, algunas cosas tienen que suceder primero.
Fuentes cercanas a la estrella telerealidad le informan a TMZ que Dog ha estado siguiendo el caso Danelo Cavalcante practicamente desde que se escapó de prisión, hace casi 2 semanas, y nos dicen que está activamente al tanto de cualquier novedad.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que Dog ha estado haciendo muchas llamadas telefónicas últimamente, tanto a fuentes policiales que conoce en Pensilvania como a contactos que tiene en otros lugares para ponerse al día.
Sin embargo, lo más importante es que Dog está considerando la posibilidad de viajar al condado de Chester esta misma semana para ayudar en la búsqueda de Danelo.
Sin embargo, nos informan que Dog necesita conocer mejor el terreno ya que no está familiarizado con la zona. Pero nuestras fuentes dicen que si logra desarrollar un plan adecuado, es probable que salga y empiece a buscar.
Esta historia crece día a día porque es una locura. Este tipo —que es un asesino convicto—escapó de la prisión del condado de Chester trepando como "cangrejo" y luego huyó hacia la zona boscosa de los alrededores (Longwood Gardens), que abarca casi 200 acres.
Como informamos, un hombre que se cree que es Cavalcante entró a una casa y robó un rifle el lunes por la noche. Actualmente se desconoce si está herido, pero ahora se considera armado y peligroso.
La semana pasada se le vio un montón de veces apareciendo en cámaras de seguridad de algunas casas, además de varios avistamientos de testigos. Sin embargo, ha sabido eludir a la policía hasta ahora. Si Dog aprieta el gatillo puede que también tenga tras de sí a un rastreador humano de fama mundial.
Cardi B No Regrets Over Mic Throw 🎤💥 'Bitch' Wasn't a Fan, She Meant to Hit Me!!!
Now that she's cleared of any potential charges, Cardi B is popping her ish over that Vegas mic-throwing incident, and she's standing by her actions!!!
Cardi popped up on "The Breakfast Club" Friday, and recalled the violent July incident with much detail ... but admitted she was initially quiet because she thought the incident would land her in jail!!! 😬
TMZ Hip Hop broke the story, Cardi was cleared in August after the criminal investigation determined there was no reason to charge her.
Cardi recalled the scorching Vegas temperatures playing a factor in her asking the crowd to splash her with water, while also warning them not to hit her face.
After performing several songs Cardi says she was met with a face full of ice and thinks the fan did it on purpose, so she retaliated by throwing the mic like a javelin.
Cardi said she reviewed the footage and claimed she saw the woman intentionally aiming at her face, so she has no regrets about setting it off!!!

Wild Video Hyena Stalks Golfer ... Across South African Course
Wild scene out on a South African course this week ... a golfer was stalked by a hyena all the way through a fairway -- though, somehow, the guy managed to keep his cool the whole time.
The tense moments unfolded at Skukuza Golf Club in Kruger National Park ... when a man who was trying to get in a casual 18 was joined by an unexpected visitor after teeing off.
You can see in selfie footage that the man filmed ... a hyena walked up to him -- and then followed him closely for a couple hundred feet.
But, the golfer wasn't rattled by the animal being so close to him ... in fact, he smiled -- and even joked, "Got a new caddie on the golf course."
Eventually, despite getting within a couple yards of the golfer, the hyena turned its attention elsewhere.
While it might seem weird the dude never panicked -- the wild encounter is actually not a rare sight at the South African course ... in fact, just a couple days ago, some lions were seen chompin' on a sprinkler head near a green.
Fun for some, maybe ... but squirrels and birds seem like a way better alternative to us.

Poopy Plane Video Shows Diarrhea Aftermath 💩-Stained Aisles Er'where
We're finally getting a first look at the Delta flight that was covered in crap mid-air -- and based on this footage ... it looks like a helluva mess.
A video surfaced Tuesday on Twitter that purports to show what was left behind after a passenger experienced explosive diarrhea Friday on a plane that was going from Atlanta to Barcelona -- and which had to turn around and land back in America to deal with it.
The clip -- posted by a user that goes by "Xansby Swanson" -- shows somebody walking down an aisle of the airplane ... recording from their phone as they're exiting/deplaning.
Indeed, they capture all the disgusting doo-doo that was left behind on the floor ... and it looks like quite a long trail of liquid feces -- which the cabin crew attempted to cover up with paper towels. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough coverage to hide this carnage.
Pretty much how Ned explained. Haven’t laughed harder than his phone call to me at midnight to explain why he was still in America. He said it was the funniest thing he’s ever experienced.
— Xansby Swanson (@arbyswehavethe2) September 5, 2023 @arbyswehavethe2
This Twitter user says his little brother was on this plane, and he explains what went down this way ... "Pretty much how Ned explained. Haven’t laughed harder than his phone call to me at midnight to explain why he was still in America. He said it was the funniest thing he’s ever experienced."
While it certainly looks like a nightmare for anyone who may have been sitting anywhere near that disaster zone -- it sounds like it provided some laughs for folks watching from afar.
Of course, the Delta people themselves certainly took it seriously enough to turn around STAT and get everyone the hell out of there immediately ... in fact, the Air Traffic Control audio reveals they were characterizing this as a biohazard in the making.
Unfortunately for everyone involved ... this poor bastard's runs beat 'em to the runway.

Prince George County, MD Cop Kisses Young Woman Goes Into Patrol Car w/ Her Too?!?
A uniformed police officer in Maryland was caught allegedly making out with a young woman in broad daylight, and seemingly on the job -- only to go into his cruiser with her shortly thereafter.
The video is absolutely wild, and it's going viral for good reason. The footage -- which was posted on TikTok Monday -- shows a Prince George's County cop with his arms wrapped around a female in the parking lot of a park ... where other people are out and about.
They appear to be engaged in an intimate moment, which was only punctuated by the fact that the two of them then proceed to hop into the back of his marked vehicle ... closing the door behind them. On its face, it sure looks like something inappropriate is going down.
Obviously, this is causing a stir for a lot of reasons. Namely, it seems to be showing an officer of the law engaged in unbecoming conduct -- especially if he's working a shift.
BTW, there's a 2nd clip that appears to show yet another Prince George's County cruiser pulled up/parked at the park too ... and another young woman is seen running in and out of the vehicle, although the officer doesn't show up in that one. No word if it's the same guy.
PGPD Executive Command is aware of a video circulating on social media with one of our officers. As soon as we became aware earlier today, we opened an investigation to determine the circumstances. Additional information will be released once investigated and confirmed.

The Prince George's County Police Department says it's aware of this first video, and that it's investigating.

Gary Busey Allegedly Involved In Hit-&-Run ... Video Shows Confrontation on PCH
-
Exclusive
- 844 shares
Gary Busey was chased down by a woman who claims he rear-ended her car in Malibu and then just beat it ... and she's got some hardcore receipts in the form of video.
The woman tells TMZ ... she was driving down PCH Wednesday and Busey whipped out of a shopping center, slamming into her back bumper. Rather than pulling over, she says Busey fled the scene.
She went into hot pursuit mode, following him on PCH, and that's where the video begins. She screams at him that he rear-ended her, but Busey blows her off and keeps driving.
The woman follows Busey to a parking lot outside a restaurant, where she's just incredulous ... schooling him on the law requiring him to stay put and exchange information.
Busey's response was, to say the least, unsatisfactory. He simply told her, "I'm private."
He does volunteer his insurance carrier is Progressive, but that's about it. Busey drives away as the woman is screaming at him.
Here's the thing. She obviously doesn't have video of the crash, but his reaction is more than telling. Plus, you see the damage on her car and his as well.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the woman filed a hit-and-run report and detectives will investigate. BTW, leaving the scene of a car accident that results in property damage or injury is a crime.
We reached out to Busey's team for comment ... so far, no word back.
