Una conductora y sus dos perros Boston Terrier fueron grabados mientras caían al mar en Venice Beach durante una persecución policial, lo que desencadenó una dramática operación de rescate que, sorprendentemente, terminó sin heridos graves.

El sábado por la noche, la mujer y sus dos perros circulaban a toda velocidad por la autopista 10 en el centro de Los Ángeles, cuando los agentes de policía la vieron sobrepasar el límite de velocidad e intentaron detenerla. Sin embargo, ella no se detuvo y dio comienzo a una persecución salvaje a través de Los Ángeles hasta Venice Beach.

De repente, la mujer se volvió hacia la playa y corrió por la arena, dirigiéndose directamente al agua. Varios videos en Internet mostraban cuando el carro se precipitó al Océano Pacífico para simplemente sumergirse en el agua.

La policía y los socorristas respondieron después de que la mujer salió nadando, abandonando a sus dos perros en el interior.

Intentó adentrarse en el océano mientras una lancha patrullera navegaba a su lado y un policía le lanzaba un salvavidas. Finalmente, la subieron a la lancha y la detuvieron.

Los policías sacaron a sus dos perros del carro y los entregaron a Control de Animales.

A BMW driver and her two Boston Terriers were filmed careening into the ocean off Venice Beach during a police pursuit, sparking a dramatic rescue operation that remarkably ended with no one seriously injured.

The woman and her two dogs were zooming down the 10 Freeway in downtown L.A., Saturday night when patrol officers clocked her going way beyond the speed limit and tried to pull her over. But she refused to stop, instead leading police on a wild chase through L.A. to Venice Beach.

Suddenly, the woman turned onto the beach and raced across the sand, heading directly for the water. Several videos posted online showed the car plunging into the Pacific Ocean and later submerged on its side in the water.

Police and lifeguards responded after the woman swam out of her car, abandoning her two pooches inside.

She tried to wade deeper into the ocean as a police boat sailed up beside her and a cop tossed her a life preserver. She was eventually pulled onto the boat and taken into custody.

Cops recused her two dogs from the car and turned them over to Animal Control.

Don Lemon's not letting up on Elon Musk one bit ... hitting his new nemesis repeatedly in an explosive interview -- and making some pretty big insinuations.

The talk show host sat down with People in an interview published Sunday to promote his upcoming talk with Musk -- scheduled for release Monday -- and said he thinks Elon was put in a very unfamiliar position.

Among his comments, Lemon said this, "He's not used to being held to account. He's not used to having to answer to anyone, especially someone like me who doesn't share his worldview, who doesn't look like him. You know what I'm saying?"

Reading between the lines a bit here ... it seems Don's saying Elon's not used to answering to Black people -- instead usually dealing with white people who think the same as him -- a pretty huge implication if we're being honest.

And, it sorta falls in line with one of the questions Don asked Elon during their talk. He shared a clip while promoting the upcoming interview on "The View" where he asked Musk if he thought minority pilots were less qualified than their white male counterparts.

Lemon went after Elon a couple more times in the new interview ... he also called Musk naive if he thought questions about diversity wouldn't come up, and Don claimed he really believes in free speech -- while saying EM doesn't.

DL says Elon and his team wanted to see the interview before it aired BTW ... a request Don says he straight-up denied.

The name-calling's gone on for a few days now ... late Friday night, Elon compared Don to spoiled child Veruca Salt from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" -- best known for repeatedly whining to her dad in the '71 flick.

Elon Musk upped the ante in his ongoing beef with Don Lemon, comparing him to Veruca Salt — the bratty child in the 'Willy Wonka' films.

In a Friday night post on X, the billionaire mogul wrote, "Don 'Veruca Salt' [lemon emoji]" linking the former CNN moderator to the spoiled girl character, who whined about wanting things from her wealthy dad throughout the famous 1971 flick.

As you know, the bad blood between the two men stems from Elon canceling Don’s contract to host his own TV show on the X social media platform, which is owned by Musk.

Earlier this week, Elon got pissed at Don after they sat down for an interview that was scheduled to appear on X, but never did.

Don asked some questions that rubbed Elon the wrong way, prompting Musk to terminate the deal they had together before the show even aired.

Don then went on CNN – his former employer – to discuss what happened with host Erin Burnett. A few clips of the Elon interview were aired, giving a window into the line questioning that annoyed Musk. Hate speech on X and Elon's ketamine use were among the topics talked about.

The New York Post reported Friday that Don issued a list of demands to Elon during contract negotiations, including a free Tesla Cybertruck and $8 million with $5 million paid upfront.

We caught up with Don following the whole debacle and he told us X needs his voice on the platform.

Friday was a very tough day for Cara Delevingne after her $7 million L.A. mansion burned to the ground – and the devastation was written all over her face.

Check out these photos obtained by TMZ ... Cara looked shattered in the backseat seat of a car, leaving the Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre in London following her performance in "Cabaret" Friday night.

In one snap, the model placed a hand against her head while seemingly staring into space as her mother, Pandora, seated beside her, tried to comfort her.

Other pictures showed a side view of Cara inside the car, covering her face with her arm. Cara's dad, Charles, also came out to show much-needed support for his daughter after the devastating blaze.

As we first reported ... Cara's L.A. area estate went up in flames early Friday morning, turning into a smoldering black carcass after firefighters put out the flames.

She had first insinuated her 2 cats had perished in the fire, but she later clarified on Instagram her felines were just fine. Still no word yet on how the kittens were rescued.

The Los Angeles Fire Department's arson unit is investigating, but, we're told, that's just SOP.

Elon Musk subió la apuesta en su actual disputa con Don Lemon, comparando al presentador con Veruca Salt, la niña malcriada de las películas de "Willy Wonka".

En un post del viernes por la noche en X, el multimillonario magante escribió: "Don "Veruca Salt" [emoji de limón]", vinculando al ex moderador de CNN con el personaje de la niña mimada, que se quejaba de querer cosas de su padre rico a lo largo de la famosa película de 1971.

Como se sabe, la mala sangre entre los dos hombres se deriva de que Elon canceló el contrato de Don para presentar su propio programa de televisión en la plataforma de redes sociales X, que es de propiedad de Musk.

A principios de esta semana, Elon se enojó con Don por una entrevista suya que estaba programada que apareciera en X, pero nunca se emitió.

En esa entrevista, Don hizo algunas preguntas que irritaron a Elon y lo llevaron a terminar el acuerdo que tenían juntos, incluso antes de que el programa saliera al aire.

Don entonces fue a CNN, su antiguo empleador, para discutir lo ocurrido con la presentadora Erin Burnett. Allí se emitieron algunos clips de la entrevista que daban una idea de lo que pudo haber molestado a Musk. El discurso de odio en X y su consumo de ketamina fueron algunos de los temas que se hablaron.

El New York Post informó el viernes que Don solicitó una lista de demandas a Elon durante las negociaciones del contrato, incluyendo un Tesla Cybertruck libre y $8 millones, con $ 5 millones pagados por adelantado.

Nos pusimos al día con Don después de toda la debacle y nos dijo que X necesita su voz en la plataforma.

El viernes fue un día muy duro para Cara Delevingne después de que su mansión de 7 millones de dólares en Los Ángeles se quemara hasta los cimientos, y la devastación se notaba en su cara.

Echa un vistazo a estas fotos obtenidas por TMZ, Cara parecía destrozada en el asiento trasero de un carro, mientras dejaba el Kit Kat Club en el Teatro Playhouse de Londres después de su actuación en "Cabaret" el viernes por la noche.

En una foto, la modelo aparece con una mano en la cabeza y mirando al vacío mientras su madre, Pandora, que está sentada a su lado, trata de consolarla.

Otras imágenes muestran una vista lateral de Cara dentro del carro, donde aparece cubriéndose la cara con el brazo. El padre de Cara, Charles, también estaba en el vehículo para mostrarle su apoyo a su hija después del devastador incendio.

Como informamos por primera vez, la propiedad de Cara en Los Ángeles se incendió en la madrugada del viernes, convirtiéndose en un montón de humo y cenizas luego de que los bomberos lograran controlar las llamas.

En un primer momento, había insinuado que sus 2 gatos habían perdido la vida en el incendio, pero más tarde aclaró en Instagram que sus felinos estaban bien. Todavía no se sabe cómo fueron rescatados los gatitos.

La unidad de incendios provocados del Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles está investigando, pero nos dicen que es solo el procedimiento habitual.

Actor and comedian King Bach is the latest celeb to fall victim in a rash of home burglaries in L.A., and this time the crooks scored quite the haul ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us a burglary crew hit up KB's home in January ... and took off with $200K worth of cash and jewelry!

Cops launched an investigation, and ended up busting a burglary crew they believe is responsible for a series of other burglaries around town. Multiple people were charged with felonies, but unfortunately, Bach hasn't gotten back his jewelry.

We're told that police don't believe the actor was the prime target during the crime spree. Detectives are continuing their investigation to see if more hits are linked to this crew.

Luckily, cops say KB -- whose real name is Andrew Byron Bachelor -- wasn't at home at the time of the burglary, otherwise, that could've been a whole different ball game.

Cara Delevingne's tragic house fire may have been electrical in origin ... at least that's what her mom and dad are saying -- who are out in the UK to support their daughter's play.

The model's parents, Charles and Pandora, got interviewed by a photog Friday in London -- where it seems the whole family's in town as Cara performs there at the Playhouse Theatre. They were asked if they knew how the fire started, and they said they did.

Check it out ... Charles says a rogue powerline may be to blame after a "very windy" night in Southern California. He also says that it was an electrical fire that got out of control.

FWIW ... we're hearing from our law enforcement sources that an official cause still hasn't been attributed just yet -- and officials are still in the early stages of the investigation.

BTW, despite reports suggesting this being investigated as arson -- our sources tell us that's not entirely accurate. While an arson unit is in the mix as they look into this -- we're told arson is not being seriously suspected. It's SOP to have arson looked into for a fire like this.

We broke the story ... Cara's L.A.-area home caught ablaze in the early hours Friday -- prompting a massive turnout from the fire department, part of which was caught on video.

The situation almost became even more heartbreaking after Cara shared a photo of her two cats on Instagram, seemingly suggesting they may have perished in the flames.

Cara later clarified that her felines were fine, sharing the happy update with her Instagram followers. It's unclear if the cats were rescued by the firefighters, per se, but somebody obviously got them out safe and sound. Cara thanked firefighters regardless.

It seems that Charles and Pandora didn't get the news of her cats being okay at the time of this interview -- 'cause they say here that they were still missing as far as they knew ... but luckily, they've been located.

Pandora also shared some insight into Cara's heartbreak over the sad scene, explaining that her model daughter "had her whole life" in the torched residence -- and had apparently lost a lot of items in the fire. She also says Cara is devastated ... and understandably so.

The show must go on, though ... Cara still showed up to do her Friday night performance at the Playhouse Theatre -- and her parents were right there to support her.

Don Lemon's defending his interview with Elon Musk ... asking people to watch the interview before they dismiss him -- and saying X would benefit from these kinds of convos.

We caught up with the talk show host in the Big Apple Friday and asked him all about his upcoming interview with Elon ... he's challenging people to sit down, watch the interview and let him know why he's not the right voice for X -- 'cause Don says he can't figure it out!

Lemon -- who says he's open to speaking to Musk despite his recent firing -- says he's giving the platform the kind of conversation he thinks it needs ... and he wants X to hire people with his viewpoint to further its free speech goals.

When asked if he'd consider the Shannon Sharpe/"Club Shay Shay" route -- DL seems to be thinking about it, and he's got nothing but praise for the former Denver Bronco.

As for whether his beef with Don might cause Elon to lose followers ... Lemon's a lot less sure. He seems to think Elon is uber-popular with his base, regardless.

BTW ... Elon's resorting to name-calling in this beef -- calling Don a "pompous fool" on X Friday before saying he's still got the right to share the interview on X when it drops.

Don's on his full rollout tour right now -- sharing bits and pieces of his interview set for release on YouTube and X on Monday, and he shared a particularly wild clip on "The View" Friday.

Check out the latest clip he dropped on "The View" ... Don asks EM if he values women and minority pilots less than men, and Elon says no -- but he also cites replies on his platform as alleged evidence standards are being lowered to include them in the profession.

All in all, not really a great look for the X CEO ... and it seems like this is just the very tip of the controversy iceberg.

Luke Bryan's Nashville bar says Riley Strain only had one drink while at their establishment last week -- denying overserving claims and other narratives that have been floated.

A rep for the TC Restaurant Group and Luke's 32 Bridge tells TMZ ... they quickly provided cops with any and all pertinent information in helping track Riley's whereabouts when he first disappeared last Friday -- including handing over all the surveillance footage they had.

They go on to say they also forked over receipts, transaction records and time stamps to prove what exactly he drank while in the building ... and as it turns out, they're saying he only purchased and was served one alcoholic drink.

In addition to the boozy beverage, Luke's 32 Bridge says Riley was also given two waters.

Despite this, they say their security team made a decision around 9:35 PM that Riley needed to go -- based on their conduct standards, they say -- and the muscle escorted him to the front of the venue ... where they say he was accompanied by one person in his party.

They also claim the dude who came downstairs with him did not exit with Riley, but instead ... returned upstairs without him. This is different than what Riley's family has said in interviews ... where his father seemed to suggest his friends had been blocked from leaving.

Ryan Gilbert, Riley's dad, told FOX17 ... "He was put out of the bar by himself, and there was a time that went by that his friend wasn’t able to get out. We believe they were taking care of the bar tab or whatnot. By the time they got outside, he just wasn’t there any longer."

On its face, it would appear the dad was putting some blame on the bar -- and even when police first relayed what had allegedly happened ... they said they'd been told Riley was overserved, something Luke's 32 Bridge is now explicitly refuting with their information.

Of course, this comes on the heels of the TABC opening an investigation into claims that the bar gave him one drink too many -- with a misdemeanor charge on the table. They made clear that it's against the law to serve someone alcohol who is visibly intoxicated.

That seems to be the lingering question here ... was Riley obviously drunk to the bar staff?

Luke himself has already addressed the tragic story in the wake of Riley's week-long disappearance -- he posted a message asking for prayers and noting his bar was cooperating with the authorities. Officials have scoured the Nashville area looking for Riley, with no luck.

Cops are asking anyone with reliable information on Riley's whereabouts to call 615-742-7463.

12:31 PM PT -- Cara Delevingne ha abordado el incendio en su casa, pero preocupó a mucha gente al insinuar que sus gatos habían muerto en el incendio, lo que ha aclarado que no es el caso.

Al principio, Cara publicó una foto de dos gatitos persas con el comentario: "Mi corazón se rompió hoy ... No me lo puedo creer. La vida puede cambiar en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Así que aprecia lo que tienes".

Luego publicó imágenes de su propiedad que le habían enviado con otro mensaje que decía: "Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón a todos los bomberos y personas que han aparecido para ayudar". Por supuesto, su mensaje sobre los gatos asustó a muchos, haciéndoles creer que sus mascotas habían fallecido en el incendio. Pero, Cara ha dejado las cosas claras.

Luego publicó una segunda foto de los gatos, diciendo: "¡Están vivos! Gracias a los bomberos". ¡Uf!

8:48 AM PT -- Un estremecedor video de la mansión de Cara Delevingne en Hollywood Hills, grabado esta mañana, muestra lo catastrófico que fue el incendio. Todavía se pueden ver rescoldos de humo saliendo de la casa.

La casa de Cara Delevingne en Los Ángeles se incendió esta semana en medio de la noche y resultó ser un gran incendio que requirió la intervención de mucha gente.

La propiedad de la modelo en Studio City comenzó a arder la madrugada del viernes, alrededor de las 3:52 AM, según nos dicen, y requirió una gran respuesta de los bomberos, quienes usaron sus mangueras para apagar las llamas que se habían apoderado de la casa.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que se registró una llamada al 911 por un incendio alrededor de las 3:57 AM PST, y cuando los bomberos llegaron a la escena se dieron cuenta de que un cuarto situado en la parte trasera de la propiedad había agarrado fuego, aunque no está clara la posible causa por ahora.

En cualquier caso, se trataba de un gran incendio. Nos dicen que el fuego se extendió hasta el ático y nuestras fuentes dicen que parte del techo incluso se derrumbó. Nos dicen que los bomberos tardaron más de 2 horas en contenerlo y apagarlo por completo. No solo eso, nuestras fuentes dicen que hubo algunos lesionados.

Nos dicen que un bombero se cayó de una escalera tratando de apagar el fuego y resultó herido, aunque no está claro el alcance de sus lesiones, y nuestras fuentes dicen que un ocupante de la casa fue tratado por inhalación de humo también.

Sabemos que Cara no estaba en la escena. Ella está en Inglaterra en este momento y fue fotografiada por ahí por el jueves. Cara ha estado actuando en el Teatro Playhouse de Londres toda la semana.

No podemos subestimar la magnitud del incendio, ya que requirió una gran respuesta. En total, nos dicen que 94 bomberos se presentaron en la propiedad para luchar contra el fuego y que 13 motores diferentes llegaron a la escena. Nuestras fuentes dicen que también se enviaron 4 ambulancias a la propiedad.

No hace falta decir que la casa de Cara es una belleza y apareció en una edición de Architectural Digest en 2021, en la que ella y su hermana ofrecieron un recorrido por los jardines y mostraron la remodelación de su interior. Es una casa de 4 dormitorios, 6 baños y más de 8.000 pies cuadrados.

Incluye casi todos los elementos que tienen las mansiones de lujo en Los Ángeles.

Un dato interesante: esta casa se construyó originalmente en 1941 para una familia famosa: los Von der Ahes, fundadores de la cadena de supermercados Vons. Así que sí, hay historia en esta casa.

12:31 PM PT -- Cara Delevingne has addressed the fire at her home, but she worried a lot of people by insinuating that her cats had died in the blaze ... something she's now clarified as not being the case.

At first, Cara posted a photo of two Persian kitties of hers with the caption ... "My heart if broken today ... I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have."

She then posted B-roll footage that was taken at her property and sent to her, and another message that read, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help."

Of course, her cat post startled many ... leading them to believe her pets had perished in the fire. But, Cara has set the record straight.

She posted a second photo of the cats, and wrote ... "They are alive!! Thank you to the firefighters." Phew!

8:48 AM PT -- Harrowing video of Cara Delevingne's Hollywood Hills mansion, shot this morning, shows just how catastrophic the fire was. You can still see smoke embers rising from the home.

Cara Delevingne's Los Angeles-area home caught on fire this week in the dead of night -- and it turned out to be a massive blaze that required the cavalry to be called in.

The model's massive property in Studio City was ablaze early Friday morning -- around 3:52 AM, we're told -- which required a massive response from the fire department ... with firefighters rushing in with hoses to put out flames that had overtaken much of the home.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... a 911 call for a fire first came in around 3:57 AM PST, and when the fire crews showed up, we're told they came to realize that a backroom of some sort on the property caught on fire -- although it's unclear what the cause is for now.

In any case, this was a big one ... we're told the fire spread up into the attic and our sources say part of the roof even collapsed. We're told it took firefighters upwards of 2 hours to get it contained and fully put it out. Not just that, but our sources say some injuries occurred.

We're told one firefighter fell off a ladder trying to put out the blaze and was hurt -- although it's unclear to what extent -- and our sources say an occupant at the home was treated for smoke inhalation as well.

We know Cara was not on the scene ... she's in England right now, and was photographed out and about on Thursday. Cara's been performing there at the Playhouse Theatre all week.

We can't understate how big of a fire this was, as it required a huge response. In total ... we're told 94 total firefighters showed up to fight the blaze in 13 different engines that arrived on the scene. Our sources say 4 ambulances were also sent to the property.

It goes without saying, Cara's home here is a beaut and was actually featured in an Architectural Digest spread in 2021 -- where she and and her sister gave a tour of the grounds, including their remodel of the inside. It's a 4-bed, 6-bath home that's over 8,000 sq. feet.

It includes just about all the bells and whistles of luxury in Los Angeles.

Interesting tidbit -- this home was originally built in 1941 for a famous family ... the Von der Ahes, the founders of the Vons supermarket chain. So yeah, there's history for this house.

We've reached out to her camp ... so far, no word back.

A NYC subway rider is in critical condition after getting shot in the head at the end of a brutal brawl where he was also stabbed ... and the whole thing was recorded by an onlooker.

This went down Thursday in Brooklyn, where cops say 2 men got into a fight while they were both riding a subway car -- their showdown alarmed nearby commuters, some of whom started shooting video as it got physical.

Police say they were told the man who was shot actually instigated things -- and that seems to be confirmed by the video -- as he squared off with the other guy.

While the 2 men were punching and wrestling each other, a woman enters the fray and apparently stabs one of them in the back -- it appears she was with the other combatant. l

The stabbing victim, who was visibly bleeding, started screaming and asking if she'd stabbed him .. and then fumbles in his jacket pocket for a gun.

The man he was originally fighting ran over and tried to shield his woman ... as the gun-wielding man corners them.

At that point, everyone else in the subway car started running in the opposite direction ... desperately trying to get off, because they've seen the gun. It was a tense and terrifying scene ... and as they were cowering 4 gunshots go off.

Someone captured the aftermath of this -- where you can see cops on the scene attending to the man who was shot ... and as you can see it's the man who originally pulled out the gun.

The other man was eventually cuffed and led away, but it's unclear if he's been charged yet.

Oprah Winfrey dice que renunció al directorio de WeightWatchers después de casi una década "porque no era apropiado" y no quería parecer poco ética.

La leyenda del talk show explicó su decisión a Jimmy Kimmel el jueves, donde dijo que su próximo especial sobre medicamentos para bajar de peso jugó un papel importante en su decisión de abandonar la empresa en la que estuvo años como embajadora oficial.

De acuerdo a Oprah, este especial de televisión sobre la pérdida de peso en el que ha estado trabajando era muy importante para ella, por lo que quería deshacerse de cualquier señal que pudiera ser considerada inapropiada.

Específicamente, O dice que no quería que la gente pensara que estaba promoviendo un especial sobre medicamentos para perder peso y asumiera que estaba haciendo dinero por estar vinculada a WeightWatchers, que ahora está en el negocio de prescribir los mismos medicamentos como Ozempic.

La salida de Oprah de WeightWatchers se supo hace dos semanas, cuando anunció que iba a donar todas sus acciones de la compañía al National Museum of African American History and Culture. Por supuesto, también admitió recientemente que ella misma toma medicamentos para perder peso.

Ahora que ha dado un paso al costado, le dijo a Kimmel que nadie podrá acusarla de estar haciendo esto con fines de lucro, porque no hay nada que ganar en este momento. También dice que para el equipo de WeightWatchers fue muy dura la noticia de su despedida.

En otra parte de la entrevista, Oprah compartió por qué abrazó estos milagrosos medicamentos, diciendo que un doctor le dijo que sus luchas por perder peso estaban vinculadas a su genética y que "la obesidad es una enfermedad." Dice que con los fármacos ha perdido 12 kilos.

Oprah Winfrey says she stepped down from the WeightWatchers board after nearly a decade 'cause it was a super bad look ... and she didn't want to come off as unethical.

The talk show legend explained her decision to Jimmy Kimmel Thursday ... sharing that her upcoming special about prescription weight loss drugs played a major factor in her decision to leave the company she's been with for years as an official ambassador.

As Oprah put it ... this weight loss medication TV special she's working on was very important to her -- so she wanted to shed any appearance of impropriety by being involved.

Specifically ... O says she didn't want people to think she was just promoting a special about weight loss meds and assume she was making money off of it by being attached to WW -- which is now in the business of prescribing those same medications, like Ozempic.

News of Oprah's WW exit dropped two weeks ago -- when she announced that she was donating all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Of course, she's also recently admitted she's on weight loss drugs herself.

Now that she's taken the step of leaving WW behind, she told Kimmel nobody could accuse her of doing all this for profit ... 'cause there's no money to be made at this point. She also says the WeightWatchers crew took the news of her bowing out pretty hard.

In a separate portion of this interview, Oprah shares why she embraced the miracle drugs -- saying her weight struggles over the years were tied to her genetics by a doc, and she went so far as to say that "obesity is a disease." She says she's lost 40 lbs. on the drugs.
