Peru says they've got a 124-year-old dude who's the real oldest guy in the world, and not the 111-year-old British guy who recently nabbed the Guinness World Records title.

The Peruvian government reveals Marcelino Abad Tolentino, a local farmer, was born in 1900 and hit 124 years old on April 5 -- which, if legit, means he's not just blowing out candles, but he's also setting a global record as the oldest man on the planet.

In a statement, officials say they found the senior citizen in the small village of Chaglla back in 2019 and hooked him up with a passport, an ID card and a pension.

Perú dice que uno de sus ciudadanos es el verdadero hombre más viejo del mundo y no el hombre de 111 años del Reino Unido, que recientemente obtuvo el título Guinness World Records.

El gobierno peruano dice que Marcelino Abad Tolentino, un agricultor local, nació en 1900 y cumplió 124 años el 5 de abril, lo que si es legítimo significa que no solo estaría soplando velas, sino que también estaría estableciendo un récord mundial como el hombre más viejo del planeta.

En un comunicado, las autoridades aseguran que encontraron al anciano en el pequeño pueblo de Chaglla en 2019 y le concedieron un pasaporte, un DNI y una pensión.

Families looking to buy huge packs of toilet paper and dirt cheap hot dogs at Costco can now make out like old-timey prospectors, 'cause the retailer's got gold to spare, which is flying off their digital shelves ... to the tune of potentially hundreds of millions.

The store known for selling everything in bulk is in the precious metals game these days ... selling 1-oz, 24-karat gold bars in their stores for around $2,400 a pop. This has been going on for about 6 months or so now, and at this point ... it's apparently a money-maker.

Analysts at Wells Fargo reportedly told its clients earlier this week that Costco might be bringing in between $100 million and $200 million on gold sales each month. Wowza!

La vida de El Chapo en la cárcel se está volviendo aparentemente solitaria, pues ahora le está pidiendo a un juez que le permita a su esposa visitarlo en la cárcel, y en cuanto a sus hijas pequeñas, poder entregarles un anillo.

El notorio capo del cartel mexicano está rogándole a un tribunal de Nueva York que autorice una visita de la familia en la Penitenciaría de los Estados Unidos, Florence en Colorado, donde va a pasar el resto de su vida tras las rejas.

Eso no es todo, el ex señor de la droga también le está pidiendo a la corte que le siga permitiendo 2 llamadas de 15 minutos al mes con sus hijas, lo que se cortó el pasado mes de mayo. Él sugiere que esto es obra de los federales en represalia a su intento de que desechen su caso.

El Chapo's life in lock-up is apparently getting lonely -- 'cause now he's asking a judge to let his wife visit him in prison ... and for his young daughters to be able to give him a ring.

The notorious Mexican cartel kingpin is begging a NYC court to authorize a family visit at the supermax United States Penitentiary Florence in Colorado -- where he's spending the rest of his life behind bars.

That's not all ... the ex-drug lord is also asking the court to continue allowing him 2 15-minute calls a month with his girls -- whom he got cut off from last May, which he suggests is the doing of the feds because he's trying to have his case tossed, and he believes they're retaliating.

A Colorado bus aide was arrested after disturbing footage emerged showing her beat up a nonverbal, autistic boy she was tasked with watching ... and the injuries are jarring.

28-year-old Kiarra Jones is facing 2 counts of crimes against at-risk children in Denver after she got busted on April 4 ... when a little boy's parents reported he came home with bruises one day -- this after months of inexplicable injuries that would surface on his body.

Cops say they got their hands on the bus surveillance footage -- which has been making the rounds online ... and it's best to watch at your own discretion, as it shows a brutal attack.

A woman who appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" once upon a time got into an ugly tussle with her boyfriend while driving ... something she live streamed and got arrested for.

Elisa Jordana -- a singer/model/writer who appeared with Howard Stern and co. back in the early 2010s -- had a live video of herself up and running Monday ... which showed her in the car with a guy who went on to tell police he was her boyfriend.

In the video, which was live-streamed for several minutes, Elisa and this dude in the passenger seat could be seen bickering back and forth ... and eventually, things turned violent.

11:34 AM PT -- The eclipse is making its way across North America -- and the people of Mexico were absolutely stoked when things went dark ... just check out this video with their reaction.

People could be heard (and barely seen) cheering on the moment the moon perfectly covered the sun. There'll surely be lots of other reactions just like this throughout the U.S.

The eclipse is happening ... the first images of the 2024 eclipse are coming in from Mexico, as totality inches close to the U.S. of A.

A United Airlines passenger was rattled after she watched a window get replaced on her flight moments before taking off ... by none other than what appears to be one of the pilots.

The passenger -- a self-described toddler expert named Kristin -- documented the experience on her IG Story Sunday ... filming what appeared to be the flight's pilot fixing the interior side of one window, this before her plane from Denver to Dallas was due to hit the sky.

She wrote ... "They are literally replacing a window with all of us just chilling and sitting here waiting to take off?!?!?!"

A music festival in Texas that was entirely dedicated to the solar eclipse is now getting scrapped entirely -- and the reason is a little freaky ... an omen, even, perhaps.

The event is called Texas Eclipse 2024 ... a 5-day get-together in Burnet, TX -- which seems to be very much in the vein of Burning Man ... which you can sense from all their marketing and promotional material, not to mention all the pics and vids they have up on socials.

All was well for these past few days ... however, on Monday, the festival organizers broke some startling news -- namely, their whole event was just canceled over crappy weather.

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert reportedly got herself into hot water at a pre-Christmas Republican event in NYC, getting so drunk that she became unruly to the point where she was ordered to stop taking selfies with former President Donald Trump.

Boebert's embarrassing episode took place at the New York Young Republican Club's annual gala on December 9, 2023, according to CNN, citing attendees who witnessed the incident.

Waitstaff first told Boebert they wouldn't serve her any more alcohol after they noticed she was intoxicated inside Cipriani Wall Street, CNN said. A source told the network one waiter was spotted walking up to Boebert and informing her she had been "overserved."
