Un patrullero de carretera en Oklahoma fue lanzado como un muñeco de trapo después de que un carro se detuviera para un control de tránsito y se estrellara contra un vehículo completamente diferente, y todo está en video.

Este registro acaba de ser liberado por la Patrulla de Carreteras de Oklahoma, que muestra a uno de los suyos siendo golpeado (indirectamente) por un carro que viene chocando contra el SUV blanco que estaba detenido para hablar con él, mientras estaba al costado de la carretera en una autopista en Yukon, Oklahoma.

El nombre del policía estatal es Jesse Gregory y como se puede ver, definitivamente no lo vio venir, lo que queda en evidencia por el hecho de que no tuvo tiempo para prepararse para el impacto en absoluto.

Por mucho que él podría haber sido herido en el momento, hay que preguntarse cómo quedó el conductor del carro que estaba hablando con él. En su cara, se ve bastante feo y aunque se podría pensar que habría daños importantes, al parecer no.

Los empleadores del oficial Gregory dicen que no solo estaba bien después de esto, sino que también lo estaban las otras dos personas involucradas en el accidente que, francamente, es un poco de un milagro (en el buen sentido).

La razón por la que publicó esto era para recordarle a las personas los peligros de la carretera y para destacar la importancia de reducir la velocidad y ser conscientes del tráfico.

A highway patrolman in Oklahoma got tossed like a rag doll after the car he pulled over for a traffic stop got smashed into by a completely different vehicle ... and it's all on video.

This wild footage was just released by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol ... which shows one of their own getting hit (indirectly) by a car that comes crashing into the white SUV he was in the middle of talking to while on the side of the road on a freeway in Yukon, OK.

The state trooper's name is Jesse Gregory ... and as you can see, he definitely didn't see this coming -- evidenced by the fact that he had no time to brace for impact whatsoever.

As much as he might've been hurt in the moment ... you gotta wonder how the driver of the car he was speaking with might've been -- 'cause they got rammed into on their side. On its face, it looks pretty ugly ... and while you'd think there'd be major damage, apparently not.

Officer Gregory's employers say that not only was he okay after this ... but so were the other two people involved in the accident -- which, frankly, is a bit of a miracle (in a good way).

The reason they posted this was to remind people of the dangers of the road ... highlighting the importance of slowing down, moving over to the shoulder, and being mindful of traffic.

Ukraine is lambasting HBO's "The White Lotus" for casting Miloš Biković ... a Serbian actor who's voiced support and admiration for Russia amid the ongoing war, and has accepted a medal from Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine's foreign ministry called out HBO in an X post Wednesday ... asking if it was right for the outlet to work with a person who supports genocide and violates international law.

A quick rundown on the uproar: Biković's been accused of supporting Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine ... even posting an X poll showing that trust in Putin was higher than in Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.

He's starred in a string of Russian films, such as 2014's "Sunstroke" ... which Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said he'd filmed in Crimea, the peninsula Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014.

In 2018, Putin awarded Biković a Pushkin medal for advancing Russian culture. A year later, Ukraine banned him from entering the country for national security reasons.

The 36-year-old was unfazed over the ban, making it clear where his loyalties lie as he gushed over receiving Russian citizenship in 2021 ... and added, he'd been actively participating in Russian cultural life for more than 7 years.

His casting in the third season of Mike White's anthology series was announced earlier this month ... and production is set to begin next month in Thailand.

Deadline reports he'll likely play a Russian-speaking wellness guru at the hotel -- though his character details haven't been confirmed.

The dark comedy has been a massive hit with fans and has dominated award season with its first 2 seasons ... so expectations are undoubtedly high for the third.

"The Daily Show" vuelve a contar con una cara conocida para proporcionar algo de estabilidad, aunque podría acabar siendo solo otra solución temporal.

Jon Stewart, presentador original del programa de 1999 a 2015, volverá a Comedy Central para presentar "TDS", pero solo los lunes. De martes a jueves, los fans verán a algunos de sus corresponsales favoritos dirigir el programa.

El trabajo de presentador a tiempo parcial no significa que Jon vaya a descansar el resto de la semana, también vuelve como productor ejecutivo de cada episodio desde ahora hasta 2025, por lo que parece que se quedará por aquí un tiempo.

No solo fue anfitrión y productor ejecutivo del programa durante más de 15 años, sino que fue mentor de algunos de los nombres más grandes de la comedia mientras dirigía el programa.

Solo hace falta ver la lista, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Olivia Munn, Hasan Minhaj y Josh Gad, por nombrar algunos. Menudo árbol de entrenadores.

Probablemente sea un buen momento para que Jon vuelva a su antiguo terreno, porque su última aventura televisiva, "The Problem with Jon Stewart", no ha ido muy bien.

Apple TV + canceló el programa de Stewart en octubre después de un poco más de dos años, y The New York Times informó que el comediante se enfrentó con los ejecutivos de Apple sobre temas de espectáculos e invitados.

Y recuerda, a "The Daily Show" no le ha ido mucho mejor, han estado trabajando con un elenco rotativo de presentadores invitados durante más de un año desde que Trevor renunció al papel que culminó en un momento divertido e incómodo en los Emmys de este año, donde el ex corresponsal Roy Wood Jr. básicamente le suplicó a los ejecutivos que "por favor, contraten a un anfitrión".

"The Daily Show" is going back to a familiar face to provide some stability ... though it might end up being just another temporary fix.

Jon Stewart -- who originally hosted the show from 1999 to 2015 -- is headed back to Comedy Central to host 'TDS' ... but only on Mondays. From Tuesday-Thursday, fans will see some of their fav correspondents helm the show.

The part-time hosting gig doesn't mean Jon will be kicking back during the rest of the week -- he's also returning as executive producer for every episode from now through 2025 -- so it looks like he'll be sticking around for a bit.

Not only was Stewart host and EP of the show for more than 15 years, but he mentored some of the biggest names in comedy while heading up the program.

Just check out the roster ... Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Olivia Munn, Hasan Minhaj and Josh Gad just to name a few. Talk about one hell of a coaching tree!

It's probably a good time for JS to head back to his old stompin' ground ... 'cause his latest television venture, "The Problem with Jon Stewart" didn't go so well.

Apple TV+ canceled Stewart's show in October after a little over 2 years, and The New York Times reported the comedian butted heads with Apple execs on show topics and guests.

And remember, "The Daily Show" hasn't fared much better ... they've been working with a rotating cast of guest hosts for more than a year since Trevor stepped down from the role -- culminating in a funny/awkward moment at this year's Emmys where former correspondent Roy Wood Jr. basically pled with execs in the crowd to "please hire a host."

Not exactly the permanent solution Roy was looking for, but definitely a step in the right direction.

First-year law students at the University of Wisconsin were reportedly forced to attend a "re-orientation" that was all about race ... and, apparently, how white people are the worst.

According to the Federalist -- which cites sources who say they were in attendance, not to mention screengrabs of the alleged session/materials -- this went down last week ... and the DEI-inspired crash course on race and privilege was mandatory for a bunch of scholars.

As part of the orientation, students were reportedly asked to complete a worksheet with a number of bizarre prompts -- including one that encouraged the students to "Tell the Truth" and expand, in writing, "how deep racism goes in my life" among other confessionals.

The NY Post even claims that some of the literature they were asked to read up on before this re-orientation contained a line that said "there are no exceptional white people."

Other topics like color blindness were slammed as inherently racist -- and one of the alleged exercises students were encouraged to partake in was to share racial slurs for different minority groups ... all in an effort, it seems, to break down stereotypes and tropes.

Long story short, it sounds like this session was pretty much all about race -- and the question being asked, of course, is ... what the heck does this have to do with law???

Un vuelo de Virgin Atlantic que debía salir del Reino Unido nunca despegó después de que los pasajeros detectaran un posible peligro...

Así es la cosa, la semana pasada, estaba previsto que este avión saliera de Manchester a Nueva York, pero antes de que pudiera siquiera llegar a la pista, los huéspedes con ojos de águila a bordo se dieron cuenta de que algo estaba mal en una de las alas fuera y lo señalaron al personal.

Basicamente pensaron que faltaban algunos tornillos... resulta que faltaban cuatro piezas, las cuales tuvo que poner un trabajador de mantenimiento.

Ese es el video que estás viendo... el tipo está literalmente taladrando los tornillos que aparentemente se habían caído y como puedes imaginar, todo el mundo a bordo estaba conmocionado por este aparente descuido. Ahora, en términos de la seguridad de todo esto, la aerolínea insiste en que nadie estaba en riesgo.

Un representante de Virgin Atlantic le aclaró a TMZ el lunes que los pernos que faltaban eran en realidad parte de un panel en el avión que solo afectó a los niveles aerodinámicos de esa pieza específica y NO tuvo ningún impacto en la integridad de la aeronave en general.

Y añaden: "El vuelo VS127 de Manchester a Nueva York JFK del 15 de enero, que operaba con un Airbus A330, se canceló para dar tiempo a realizar comprobaciones preventivas adicionales de mantenimiento de ingeniería, lo que permitió a nuestro equipo disponer del máximo tiempo para completar sus inspecciones. La seguridad de nuestros clientes y tripulación es siempre nuestra máxima prioridad y no se vio comprometida en ningún momento".

La empresa Airbus nos dice que en realidad hay 119 sujetadores en esta parte del avión y los cuatro que faltaban no habría hecho el vuelo más peligroso, dicho esto, se aseguraron de que se sometiera a un mantenimiento adicional solo para estar seguros, además, señalan que los sujetadores fueron reemplazados.

The moment a monster wave hit an Army base in the Marshall Islands has been captured on camera ... playing out like a scene from a horror movie.

Check it out -- a 3-to-4-ft wave breaks down doors and crashes inside the Army's dining hall in Roi-Namur Saturday, an island at the northern end of Kwajalein Atoll ... knocking people off their feet and sweeping them away.

Some hold onto whatever they can find ... others climb on top of withholding furniture as the powerful stream of water continues surging in.

Then the power goes out ... plunging everyone into darkness as they continue scrambling for their safety before the clip cuts out.

Luckily, Erik D. Hanson says no one was seriously injured in the IG clip's caption ... which he only shared after confirming everyone was OK.

He adds a combination of wind, tides, and swell direction from an off-shore storm was behind the freak waves.

The U.S. Army added in a statement Sunday "a series of weather-induced waves hit Roi-Namur which caused significant flooding in the northern portions of the island" at approx 9 PM on Jan 20.

The damage resulted in the evacuation of all "non-mission personnel" from the island ... while flooding by the waves hit the two airports at Ailinglaplap Atoll ... likely keeping them closed for weeks.

El momento en que una ola monstruosa golpea una base militar en las Islas Marshall ha sido captado en video y es aterrador.

Compruébelo usted mismo, una ola de 3 a 4 pies rompe las puertas del comedor del Ejército en Roi-Namur el sábado —una isla en el extremo norte del atolón de Kwajalein— golpeando a la gente y arrastrándola lejos.

Algunos se aferran a lo que pueden encontrar, otros se suben encima de los muebles mientras la poderosa corriente de agua sigue atacando.

Entonces se va la luz, sumiendo a todos en la oscuridad mientras siguen luchando por sus vidas antes de que se corte el clip.

Afortunadamente, Erik D. Hanson dice que nadie resultó gravemente herido, dijo esto después de confirmar que todo el mundo estaba bien.

La combinación de viento, mareas, y la dirección del oleaje crearon una tormenta perfecta peligrosamente cerca de la costa.

El Ejército de EE.UU. emitió un comunicado el domingo "una serie de olas inducidas por el clima golpearon Roi-Namur, lo que causó inundaciones significativas en la parte norte de la isla" aproximadamente a las 9 PM el 20 de enero.

El daño resultó en la evacuación de todo el "personal que no estaba involucrado en la misión" de la isla, mientras que las inundaciones golpearon los dos aeropuertos en Ailinglaplap Atoll, probablemente tendrán que mantenerlos cerrados durante semanas.

A Virgin Atlantic flight that was supposed to leave the UK never took off after passengers spotted a potential safety hazard ... which makes up the nuts and bolts of this story.

Here's the deal ... last week, this VA plane that was due to depart from Manchester to New York -- but before it could even get on the runway, eagle-eyed guests onboard noticed something was amiss on one of the wings outside, and they flagged it to the staff.

Basically, they thought they saw some screws missing -- and as it turns out, there were, in fact, four missing fasteners that needed to be attended to by a maintenance worker.

That's the video you're seeing here ... the guy is literally drilling in the fasteners/bolts that had apparently fallen off -- and as you can imagine, everyone onboard was shocked by this apparent oversight. Now, in terms of the safety of all this ... VA insists nobody was at risk.

An Airbus rep clarified to TMZ Monday that the missing fasteners/bolts were actually part of a panel on the plane that only affected the aerodynamic levels of that specific piece -- and did NOT have any impact on the integrity of the aircraft at large.

Virgin Atlantic tells us, "The VS127 from Manchester to New York JFK on 15 January, operating on an Airbus A330, was canceled to provide time for precautionary additional engineering maintenance checks, which allowed our team the maximum time to complete their inspections. The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority and this was not compromised at any point."

The Airbus company that actually handles the plane itself tells us there are actually 119 fasteners on this part of the plane -- and notes the 4 missing ones wouldn't have made the flight any more dangerous ... with that said, they made sure it underwent additional maintenance just to be safe -- and they also note the fasteners were replaced.

Oakland residents will soon have to travel a little further for their double-double and animal-style fries ... cause their local In-N-Out Burger is shutting its doors over increased crime.

Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick says a surge in car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies are just a few of the reasons the fast food joint's closing its only Oakland location after nearly 2 decades in business.

He also says this wasn't an overnight decision ... they made persistent attempts to create safer conditions for employees and customers, but all came up short.

Basically, they couldn't keep encouraging their clientele to visit high-risk places.

As for the staff at the burger joint, they'll be able to transfer to other branches or receive a severance package.

Justin Timberlake se subió al escenario en su ciudad natal de Memphis el viernes por la noche para mostrar su nueva canción "Selfish", y la multitud se volvió loca cuando los videos del concierto aparecieron en las redes sociales.

El actor y músico nacido en Tennessee actuó durante 90 minutos frente a más de 1.800 fans en el Orpheum Theater, en una actuación que trae un anticipo de su próximo disco "Everything I Thought It Was", el sexto de su carrera.

Como informamos, Justin había presentado los documentos para registrar el nombre del álbum, lo que indicaba que la música fresca estaba en el horizonte.

En cuanto a la actuación, echa un vistazo a las imágenes de Justin bailando sobre el escenario con la banda. Después de beber un trago de su botella de agua, Justin empieza a bailar con el público, que lo graba con un móvil.

En un momento dado, Justin se dirige a un fan que parece tener problemas con el teléfono y lo ayuda a arreglarlo. En otro video, el artista aparece cantando la canción que todo el mundo esperaba "Selfish" con la cara empapada en sudor.

Justin terminó el espectáculo dando las gracias al público de Tennessee y despidiéndose con la mano antes de salir del escenario. Al final del concierto, el equipo de Justin publicó un tráiler de su sexto álbum, que está narrado por el actor Benicio Del Toro.

Solo algunos antecedentes, la especulación de que Justin estaba a punto de lanzar nuevas canciones se había puesto en marcha desenfrenadamente el último tiempo, antes de que anunciara el concierto en Orpheum, que apodó "One Night Only".

Justin Timberlake hit the stage in his hometown of Memphis Friday night to showcase his new song "Selfish" -- and the packed crowd went wild as videos of the concert surfaced on social media.

The Tennessee-born actor/musician performed for 90 minutes in front of over 1,800 fans at the Orpheum Theater in great anticipation of the release of his upcoming sixth record called "Everything I Thought It Was."

As we reported, Justin filed docs to trademark the album name, signaling fresh music was on the horizon.

As for the performance ... check out the footage of Justin dancing out onstage to the band playing his music. After taking a swig from his water bottle, Justin starts grooving to the sounds with the audience members who are shooting cell phone videos of him.

At one point, Justin turns to a fan who appears to be having some phone trouble and helps him out with his glitch. In another clip, Justin sings the song everyone's been waiting for -- "Selfish" -- while his face is dripping with sweat.

Justin ended the show by thanking the Tennessee crowd and waving goodbye before walking offstage. At the end of the concert, Justin's camp posted a trailer for his sixth album, which was narrated by actor Benicio Del Toro.

Just a little background ... speculation had run rampant recently that Justin was about to drop some fresh tuneage before he announced last week the Orpheum concert, which he dubbed, “One Night Only."

Bill Maher is back for a new season, and he came out swinging against both the left and right extremes, saying both sides are so crazy they meet the standard for involuntary commitment.

The "Real Time" host bore down on both extremes Friday night, proclaiming 2024 as the year of sanity. He says enough of the extremes getting all the attention. And then, he gave them some attention, but clearly not the kind they want.

Bill went in hard on the right, noting the leading Republican candidate is kind of dictator. On the left, he noted 3 university presidents could not bring themselves to squarely condemn calls for the genocide of Jews. As BM says, "Can't anyone say f**k no?!?"

He scoffs at folks who are supporting Hamas, especially those Hamas would kill because of their views, race, sexual orientation, etc. Bill says people who are supporting causes that would ultimately kill them meet the standard for involuntary commitment ... i.e. a danger to themselves.

And speaking of extremes ... a Lululemon employee was fired for getting a shoplifter arrested, and Trump wants to shoot shoplifters. As Bill says, why can't we just find a middle ground?

'King of Kong' star Billy Mitchell is keeping score after Twin Galaxies reinstated his historical records ... after a multi-year dispute over cheating allegations.

Billy tells TMZ ... he's satisfied and relieved with the recent resolution in his defamation case against the video game database ... nearly 6 years after they suggested he fabricated his Donkey Kong record through an emulation software, banned him, and wiped his scores from their site.

He tells us when the investigation and claims began in 2018, his first order of business was going back to the arcade and beating all the scores, which he did.

For some people this wasn't good enough, so now that his name is cleared, he is going to get back to what he enjoys doing, which is playing games, breaking records, attending events, and being an ambassador for competitive gaming.

Billy's happy his history has finally been restored -- but doesn't get why people were trying to rewrite it in the first place ... especially 'cause Twin Galaxies ain't as relevant as it used to be, according to him.

"The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" was a 2007 documentary about competitive arcade gaming that followed Steve Wiebe attempting to take down Billy's high score record in Donkey Kong. Following the success of the documentary, he was told there was talk of a feature film with Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey being eyed as the lead.

As for now, Billy's taking the onslaught of movie offers his way seriously ... after putting them on the back burner while his defamation case raged on.

Billy's lead counsel, Anthony Ellrod tells TMZ... “This was an extremely hard fought case, and I am happy that the parties were ultimately able to resolve it. Cases like this where an individual’s credibility and veracity are at stake are very difficult to resolve short of trial. I credit the hard work of all parties and counsel in reaching a settlement.”

Suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann allegedly has a twisted internet search history ... but his lawyer says everyone Googles weird crap, and it doesn't make him a murderer.

Heuermann -- the alleged Gilgo Beach killer -- had his alleged internet search history revealed in new court documents, with prosecutors saying he was looking up autopsy photos, violent hardcore porn and deviant sex acts.

But his lawyer, Michael Brown, is pushing back ... telling reporters this week, "Searching the internet, ask yourselves what you search on your computers and your phones."

Brown brushed it off this way ... "One thing leads to another -- you see a show about something, you start searching, and they talk about how somebody got killed. You start searching, and then they talk about another way, and you start searching."

Prosecutors claim Heuermann's Google searches included ... "tied up fat girl porn," "medieval torture of women," "skinny black girl slave porn," "autopsy photos of female," "wooden pony porn," "skinny white teen crying porn" and "how I was raped audio" ... just to name a few.

What's more, Heuermann allegedly had over 200 searches about the Gilgo Beach murder case and other known serial killers.

But his lawyer says ... "Think about if they looked at your own personal search history, how all of a sudden you're guilty because of your search history?”

As we reported ... earlier this week Heuermann was hit with a fourth murder charge.

All four women worked as escorts near his home on Long Island ... and his internet history allegedly includes searches for all kinds of escorts -- running the gamut of identities ... racial, sexual and otherwise.
