King Kong ain't got s*** on Jared Leto ... not after he scaled the tippy-top of the Empire State Building simply to promote his band 30 Seconds to Mars' new tour.

The singer/actor took to the sky above NYC Thursday morning, telling the 'TODAY' hosts he made it to the top of the iconic skyscraper -- something that had always been a goal of his.

He says on his way up, he stopped around the 80th floor where he saw his mom inside, which was a nice surprise ... but when he got to the top of the 102-floor building, he said the views were pretty incredible, especially as the sun started to rise.

The feat wasn't done without a bit of bloodshed, however -- showing hosts Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie, Carson Daly, Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones his beat-up paws ... but it sounds like it was worth it.

Jared's big climb wasn't just a bucket list check-off -- he's also promoting the upcoming world tour for his band, 30 Seconds to Mars ... which kicks off in March.

Gotta admit, it's a pretty unique way to sell tickets.

The guy's no stranger to daring climbs like this ... he's been scaling buildings and some insane rock formations for a while now, all of which certainly prepared him for his grueling skyscraper milestone.

Some alleged culprits turned to heavy machinery to carry out their heist ... taking a construction backhoe and digging right into the store.

Check out the wild clip, which reportedly took place Monday morning at an ampm store in Oakland, CA ... the excavation equipment blasts through the wall, with the store's clerk barely gettin' out of there before the crooks start the teardown.

While the shop's glass was bulletproof, it clearly wasn't backhoe-proof -- after getting the claw through the wall, the machine then goes after the ATM inside. Eventually, the thieves in question chain up the ATM, attached to a truck outside, and make their getaway.

Store owner Ali Abdulla told ABC7 there's "at least $70,000" worth of damages after the excavation. Ali says he's frustrated by what happened to his store, and thinks the only way to run a shop in his area these days is to "sleep in your store and stay locked and loaded with an AK-47 and just be ready because the police is not coming on time."

He notes, however, that he isn't putting the blame on Oakland PD -- claiming there simply aren't enough cops working.

Jennifer Lopez is married to Ben Affleck -- and wants all the other ladies who still might have eyes for him to know it ... evidenced in how she barked at some onlookers Sunday.

The couple was out on the town in L.A. this weekend, and before Monday rolled around -- they were leaving dinner at The Ivy together ... with BA playing the gentleman for his wife and opening the car door for her, while going around the other side once she was in.

Right then and there, though, a group of women in another car driving by happened to see Ben as he was coming around to his door -- and they did a good old-fashioned hollah!

Check it out ... as soon as JLo heard 'em cat-calling at her hubby, she let 'em know how she felt about it right on the spot -- telling the ladies to "back up, bitch!" ... and in emphatic terms.

Ya gotta see the video, because J Lo's feisty clap-back is classic Jenny from the Block -- although, it's unclear if the women on the other end heard her. One person who certainly did hear her jab was Ben himself ... so he definitely knows he's hers and hers alone.

Jennifer López está casada con Ben Affleck y quiere que todas las damas que puedan tener sus ojos puestos en él lo sepan, si nos guiamos por la forma en que les ladró a algunas de sus fanáticas el domingo.

La pareja estaba en la ciudad de Los Ángeles este fin de semana, saliendo de la cena en The Ivy juntos. Ben Affleck estaba jugando el caballero con su esposa, abriéndole la puerta de su carro, mientras se daba la vuelta hacia para volver hacia su lado.

Justo en ese momento, sin embargo, un grupo de mujeres que estaba en otro vehículo vio a Ben acomodándose en su puerta y le hicieron un buen saludo al actor.

Fíjense bien, en cuanto Jennifer las escucha saludando a su marido les hizo saber lo que sentía diciéndoles a las señoras "¡atrás, zorras!", y en términos muy enfáticos.

Tienen que ver el video, porque el contragolpe de J-Lo es clásico de Jenny from the Block, aunque no está claro si las mujeres en el otro extremo la escucharon. Alguien que sin duda escuchó su contragolpe fue el propio Ben, por lo que definitivamente sabe que es de ella y solo de ella.

Justin Bieber demostró una vez más que tiene un juego serio en la cancha, cruzando por encima de los defensores y encestando repetidamente durante un partido de baloncesto organizado el jueves por la noche.

El cantante de "Ghost" llegó al estudio de The Surgeon en Los Ángeles por segunda vez en las últimas dos semanas, para jugar con el equipo Nahmias una vez más en la liga de baloncesto del famoso zapatero.

Y no pasó mucho tiempo para que Biebs demostrara que su última aparición en el lugar no fue casualidad, pues estuvo esquivando a los defensores y anotando fácilmente durante toda la noche.

Bieber terminó el partido con 13 puntos, tres rebotes, una asistencia y un montón de otros números positivos, aunque no fue suficiente para que su equipo se llevara una victoria a casa. Nahmias cayó 110-102 frente a Surgeon.

Bieber estaba muy entusiasmado con el partido, pero parece que luego se tomó la derrota muy mal.

Justin Bieber proved once again he's got serious game on the hardwood ... crossing over defenders and burying shots repeatedly during an organized hoops game on Thursday night.

The "Ghost" crooner hit up The Surgeon's studio in Los Angeles for the second time in the last couple weeks ... suiting up for Team Nahmias yet again in the famous shoe customizer's basketball league.

And, it didn't take long for Biebs to show that his last appearance at the venue wasn't a fluke ... as he blew by defenders over and over again, scoring easily throughout the night.

Bieber finished the game with 13 points, three rebounds, one assist and a ton of highlights ... although it wasn't enough to score his team a win -- as Nahmias fell to Surgeon, 110-102.

Bieber was hyped up for the game beforehand ... but afterward, he seemed to take the loss hard.

If you think just using a porta-potty is rough ... grab some TP, because you're about to see a woman get crushed by a porta-potty on wheels, and it's definitely a memory she'd love to flush!!!

A group of stuntmen, known as the @madhouseboys on IG, took part in a Thrasher Magazine event called The Halloween Hellbomb skating/costume competition -- and the video from last week's wild event shows them hurtling down a skate park in L.A.'s Griffith Park in their mobile toilet.

Y'know ... for when ya really gotta go, go, go!

Anyway, things were running smoothly until a woman in the crowd named Katrina Ponce De Leon got distracted while filming on her phone. She told us she couldn't gauge how close she was to the potty shot because she was viewing through a wide-angle lens.

She also didn't see the door hanging off the side, which ended up taking her out as the porta-potty slammed into her. Oh s**t, was never more appropriate! 💩

Katrina only suffered minor injuries in the crash, but check out the guy standing near her who took a street sign to the dome. He went to a hospital to treat a cut on his head.

Una mujer que conducía un Porsche a más de 100 millas por hora en una carretera del estado de Washington perdió el control y se fue por los aires, chocando y matando al pasajero que la acompañaba, y todo fue capturado en video.

Ting Ye, de 26 años, fue acusada de homicidio vehicular cuando un juez del condado de King emitió una orden de arresto contra ella tras el accidente del 30 de septiembre en Bellevue, Washington.

Las imágenes de las cámaras de tráfico capturaron a Ye zumbando por la autopista en el carro deportivo con su pasajero, Yabao Liu, en las primeras horas de la mañana.

De repente, el vehículo da vueltas y se desplaza lateralmente, chocando contra una barrera metálica y saliendo disparado fuera de la calzada mientras se volcaba salvajemente.

Liu, de 27 años, falleció, mientras que Ye fue tratada en un hospital local por heridas leves. Ya fue dada de alta.  La pareja llegó a Bellevue por motivos de trabajo, aunque no está claro cuál es su relación exactamente.

De acuerdo con documentos de la corte, Ye no cooperó con la policía y se escabulló del centro médico, dirigiéndose a Canadá antes de huir a China.

Los fiscales presentaron entonces la acusación penal contra Ye, mientras el juez firmaba su orden de detención. Ahora, están trabajando con las autoridades federales de Washington DC para traerla de vuelta a Bellevue y que enfrente la justicia.

Un obstáculo importante es China, que no tiene un tratado de extradición con Estados Unidos, lo que impide que el gobierno extranjero la entregue.

A woman driving a Porsche at more than 100 miles per hour on a Washington state highway lost control and went airborne, crashing and killing her passenger -- and it was all caught on video.

26-year-old Ting Ye was charged with vehicular homicide as a King County judge issued an arrest warrant for her following the deadly September 30th incident in Bellevue, WA.

Traffic camera footage captured Ye whizzing down the freeway in the sports car with her passenger, Yabao Liu, in the early morning hours.

Suddenly, the vehicle spins around and travels sideways, slamming into a metal barrier and launching off the roadway while flipping over wildly.

The 27-year-old Liu died, whereas Ye was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released. The pair came to Bellevue for work, although their exact relationship was unclear.

According to court docs, Ye was uncooperative with police and slipped out of the medical center, hightailing it to Canada before fleeing to China.

Prosecutors then filed the criminal charge against Ye, while the judge signed off on her arrest warrant. Now, they're working with federal authorities in D.C. to bring her back to Bellevue to face justice.

One major obstacle is China, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., preventing the foreign government from turning her over.

Big Boi's performance at a college football game went south real quick when he decided to share the stage with an owl that wasn't exactly feeling the vibe ... and tried to fly the coop, real quick!

Here's the deal, BB hit the stage in Georgia after Kennesaw State University's game with one of his pet owls, Kennesaw State's mascot is an owl, on his arm -- obviously thinking it would be the perfect crowd-pleaser. Ahhh, the best-laid plans of owls and men!

It did NOT go as planned, as you can see in the video... the owl got spooked right away during Big Boi's Saturday night performance and tried to fly away, but he was leashed to rapper's gloved right hand.

Sleepy Brown did his best to distract the crowd while Big Boi called in some help -- hopefully from a professional handler -- and the show went on, but it made for an awkward walk-out nonetheless.

He also shared a clip of him and the owl before the game and, at least backstage, it seemed chill.

Kennesaw State hasn't had a live owl mascot in a few years and its current mascot Scrappy is a costume.

La actuación de Big Boi en un partido de fútbol universitario se fue rápidamente al carajo cuando sacó un búho vivo al escenario, ¡pero el pájaro no estaba de humor y se puso a la ofensiva rápidamente!

Bib subió al escenario el fin de semana pasado después del partido de la Universidad Estatal de Kennesaw en Georgia, y como la mascota de la escuela es un búho, debió pensar que sacar a un búho de verdad sería la idea perfecta. Spoiler, no lo era.

Obviamente, las cosas no salieron según lo planeado, el pájaro se asustó de inmediato durante la actuación de Big Boi después del partido y trató de despegar, pero parece haber estado unido a él y no lo logró.

Terminó pidiendo ayuda, y, finalmente, el espectáculo continuó sin el ave nocturna.

Big Boi ha sido un amante de los búhos durante años, de hecho, hizo una entrevista con Rolling Stone en 2019 con sus pájaros mascota y pudimos notar que todos tienen nombres: Tula, Simon, Whodini y Hootie.

Alan Ruck is thankful to escape his scary car crash without so much as a scratch on him ... and he's giving credit to a higher power no one else was killed in the accident.

The "Succession" star was spotted leaving a convenience store Thursday in Los Angeles when he was asked how he was doing after Tuesday's crash when he smashed his Rivian truck into a Hollywood pizza place.

Alan was limping with a sleeve over his left knee, but he says it's just a sign of his old age and not related to the crash. The actor says he's fine and thanks God no one was killed in the incident.

As for the online chatter ... Alan's well-aware folks are comparing the truck crash to his famous Ferrari crash scene in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

TMZ broke the story ... Alan crashed into Raffallo's Pizza at the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard in an incident that is now under police investigation.

Video shows Alan's truck lodged into the side of the brick building ... and surveillance appears to show his Rivian colliding with another vehicle from behind before flying through the intersection and crashing.

Our sources told us two people were injured in the crash, but they were both breathing and conscious and are expected to be OK.

Alan's not letting the car crash stop him from getting behind the wheel ... after talking to photogs, he drove off in a Nissan.

Alan Ruck está agradecido de haber escapado de su accidente de carro sin ningún rasguño, y le está dando crédito a un poder superior el que nadie haya salido herido.

La estrella de "Succession" fue visto saliendo de una tienda de conveniencia el jueves en Los Ángeles cuando se le preguntó cómo estaba después del accidente del martes cuando estrelló su camión Rivian contra una pizzería en Hollywood.

Alan estaba cojeando con una rodillera sobre su pierna izquierda, pero dijo que esto solo es signo de su vejez y que no está relacionado con el accidente. El actor dice que está bien y agradece a Dios que nadie muriera en el incidente.

En cuanto a lo que se está hablando en las redes, Alan es bien consciente de que la gente está comparando su accidente con la famosa escena de "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

TMZ publicó la historia, Alan se estrelló contra Raffallo's Pizza en la intersección de La Brea Avenue y Hollywood Boulevard en un incidente que está bajo investigación policial.

El video muestra el camión de Alan alojado en el lado del edificio de ladrillo y el registro de vigilancia parece mostrar a su Rivian chocando con otro vehículo por detrás, antes de volar a través de la intersección y estrellarse.

Nuestras fuentes nos dijeron que dos personas resultaron heridas en el accidente, pero ambas estaban conscientes y respirando y se espera que estén bien.

Alan Ruck es el desafortunado protagonista de un llamativo accidente en una pizzería en Hollywood.

Fuentes policiales dicen que el accidente ocurrió alrededor de las 9 PM del miércoles en Raffalo's Pizza, en la intersección de La Brea Avenue y Hollywood Boulevard. El video muestra al vehículo del actor enterrado hasta la mitad, atravesando la pared del restaurant.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que dos personas resultaron heridas en el accidente, pero ambos estaban conscientes y respirando por lo que es probable que estén bien. Afortunadamente, ningún peatón fue atropellado en el accidente.

Alan se quedó alrededor después del accidente. Fue visto fuera de la camioneta hablando por su teléfono celular, mientras que otros evaluaron los daños.

En cuanto a cómo ocurrió el accidente, la cámara de vigilancia muestra a la camióneta de Alan cruzando una intersección de manera imprudente y chocando contra un carro, para posteriormente impactar contra el edificio.

Alan Ruck might want to consider delivery next time he's got a hankering for pizza ... ramming his truck into the side of a pie joint in a 4-way crash in Hollywood.

Law enforcement sources say the crash occurred around 9 PM Tuesday at Raffalo's Pizza at the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. Video shows the actor's Rivian with about half of the cab lodged into the side of the brick building.

Our sources say two people were injured in the crash, but both were conscious and breathing ... so they're likely to be OK. Thankfully, no pedestrians were struck in the accident. We're also told there's no indication of DUI.

Alan stuck around after the crash, seen out of the truck and talking on his cellphone while others assessed the damage.

As for how the crash happened, surveillance appears to show Alan's truck collide with another vehicle from behind, pushing it into the intersection as Alan's truck smashes into the building.

Of course, the crash scene drew a crowd, with many taking pictures and videos of the vehicle ... certainly not a help to the flow of traffic in Hollywood.

Bill Bidwill Jr. -- the former Arizona Cardinals exec who's the brother of the NFL team's current owner, Michael Bidwill -- was a bloody mess following an alleged fight with his wife earlier this year ... new police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows.

In the footage, you can see officers responded to Bill's Paradise Valley, Ariz. residence at around 6 PM on June 9 following a report of domestic violence ... they came into immediate contact with Bill, who appeared to be bleeding profusely from his face area.

Bill can be heard in the video -- captured on Paradise Valley Police Dept. body cameras -- telling officers his wife, Nicole Bidwill, had just roughed him up following an altercation over some carpet installation.

"She was very upset at me," said Bill, who continuously wiped blood from his head with a large towel.

"I'm sitting on the couch, and she's screaming at me. And I was trying to not escalate because she has a very bad temper."

"And then she started hitting me, and I just started defending myself."

Bill told an officer Nicole "must have hit" him "a hundred times," adding that the strikes were thrown with force. He also said that during the altercation, she picked up a glass cup full of beer and shattered it over his forehead.

"That cut me here," he told a cop.

Bill added that as he tried to get away, Nicole grabbed him and was "just beating the s*** out of me."

Bill, however, later told cops he did not want them to arrest his wife. Instead, he told them to take him into custody -- explaining, "She is not going to tolerate that well."

Meanwhile, cops also interviewed Nicole at the scene ... though she appeared to be far less cooperative with law enforcement than her husband.

She, at first, didn't want to get off the hood of a car she was lying on. She later didn't want to answer questions, telling officers she wanted to wait for her daughter, who's an attorney.

And, when cops placed her under arrest, she didn't want to walk to their squad cars -- so they carried her by her arms and legs.

As we reported, Nicole was booked on a charge of assault ... though, according to a police report, Bill did not want to press charges.

Bill served as the vice president of the Cardinals for several years when his dad, Bill Bidwill Sr., owned the team ... and in 2019, he reportedly helped take over ownership following Sr.'s passing. He does not, however, currently have any role with the team.
