TMZ TV Recap Taylor's Alleged Stalker Returns Ye Directs Paps, The Rock
Another day, another slew of topics on our TMZ television shows -- and this time, they ran the gamut from Taylor Swift to Kanye West ... with a little Dwayne Johnson in between.
TMZ Live
Kicking things off with 'TMZ Live,' Harvey and Charles dove head-first into the subject of Taylor's alleged stalker -- at least that's what cops are saying this guy might be ... a dude who showed up to her NYC home twice in three days, only to be led away in handcuffs.
It's a terrifying encounter ... and we explain why this issue is only growing for stars.
TMZ on TV
Over on the 'TMZ on TV' side of things ... we talked about our good pal Kanye, who had quite a day in L.A. Monday with his wife, Bianca -- not to mention the friendly paparazzi.
Ye got a littler proactive with the photogs on hand who were snapping away ... giving them some tips on how to shoot the couple -- and from which angles. It's pretty wild, TBH.
TMZ Sports
Last but not least, we got 'TMZ Sports' ... where Babcock and Mojo talked about Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson striking this lucrative deal with the WWE -- which not only sees him as new board member, but which guarantees him exclusive rights to his legendary stage name.
We get into that and more on the full episodes. Check your local listings for when TMZ is on in your area or catch up on past episodes!

Una madre baja a sus hijos de la atracción "It's a Small World" De Disneyland París
Una familia de Disneyland París no estaba de humor para quedarse sentada cuando una famosa atracción acuática se averió, porque Mamá Osa agarró a sus hijos y se marchó... desafiando las órdenes de no moverse.
Échale un vistazo a estas imágenes que muestran a una mujer sentada en el barco "It's a Small World" con sus pequeños, antes de remangarse los pantalones y quitarse los zapatos para entrar al agua y ayudar a sus cuatro hijos a salir del juego luego de que este se averiara y quedara detenido.
Ella es muy práctica, toma a los niños uno por uno y los lleva a tierra firme, donde estaban todos los famosos muñecos de "Small World" haciendo canciones y el bailes.
También hay al menos un miembro del elenco de Disneyland que grita en francés por el intercomunicador, diciéndole a la madre que se detenga, pero ella hace caso omiso de las advertencias y saca a su familia.
Otras personas parecen sorprendidas e incluso se divierten al presenciar el acto poco común. Lo admitimos, es una escena chocante... una familia saliendo del barco y entrando en el plató no es exactamente la forma de conseguir que una atracción averiada vuelva a funcionar. Pero, de nuevo, cuando alguien necesita salir, ¿quién se lo va a impedir?
La buena noticia es que esta familia mantuvo la ropa puesta, a diferencia del hombre que se bajó de "Small World" en noviembre en el Disneyland de Estados Unidos. Recordemos que él también comenzó a vagar fuera de su barco, pero en ese caso, fue mucho más temerario.
De todos modos, mamá y sus hijos probablemente no se quedarán atascados en más paseos en Disneyland París hoy, pero, de nuevo, esta es una manera segura de ser expulsado del parque.
¡Au revoir!
DISNEYLAND PARIS Mom Takes Kids Off Water Ride ... Walk Through 'Small World'
A family at Disneyland Paris was in no mood to sit tight when a famous water ride broke down -- 'cause Mama Bear took her kids and walked out ... defying orders to stay put.
Check out this footage -- it shows a woman sitting in her 'It's a Small World' boat with her little ones, before rolling up her pants and taking off her shoes to get into the water ... helping her 4 kids get off the ride, which was brought to a stop for some reason.
She's very matter-of-fact here ... taking the kids out one by one and carrying 'em to dry land ... where all the famous 'Small World' dolls and scenery do the whole song and dance.
There's also at least one Disneyland cast member who is yelling in French over the intercom, telling the mom to stop ... but she ignores the warnings and gets her family outta Dodge.
Other folks on the ride seem to be both shocked and maybe even a little amused by the rebel move here. We'll admit -- it is a shocking scene ... a family getting out of the boat and walking into the set isn't exactly a cheat code for getting a broken-down ride up and running again. But then again, when someone wants to get a move on ... we suppose they will.
The good news ... this family kept their clothes on, unlike the man who got off 'Small World' back in November at the OG Disneyland. Remember, he too started roaming around outside of his boat -- but in that case, it was a lot more risqué than what we have here.
Anyway, mama and her kids likely won't be stuck on any more rides at Disneyland Paris today ... but then again, this is a surefire way to get booted from the park.
Au revoir!!!

MCDONALD'S CUSTOMER PULLS OUT GROSS SURPRISE FROM MCFLURRY!!!
A McDonald's customer is McHatin' after her latest trip to the fast food joint ended with her finding a gag-worthy surprise in her McFlurry!
You'll be repulsed watching the clip yourself ... the woman discovers what appears to be a trash bag or glove left behind in her Oreo-flavored frozen treat -- horror plays out on her face as she continues pulling out the seemingly never-ending item.
Laughter seems to be the best medicine in the situation ... she chuckles awkwardly with her friend in the viral TikTok clip.
"We had no idea what she just found at the bottom of her mc flurry im losing my mind," the user @kekebobeke adds in the text overlay.
She claims the item was folded down and left behind on purpose, and she tagged McDonald's on the post, hoping to get some answers.
The fast food chain has yet to publicly respond, but current/former employees attempt to explain what the item is in the comments -- one says it's an ice cream liquid bag -- another says it's the sleeves the cups come in.
Needless to say, the customer's hoping for an apology -- at the very least -- from the fast food joint. We're guessing she wouldn't turn down free McFlurry's for life either! Just sayin' ...

Clienta de McDonald's Saca una asquerosa sorpresa de su McFlurry
Una clienta de McDonald's está que revienta después de que en su última visita al restaurante de comida rápida se encontrara con una asquerosa sorpresa en su McFlurry.
La mujer descubre lo que parece ser una bolsa de basura o un guante olvidado en su helado de Oreo, ¡y el horror rápidamente aparece en su rostro mientras sigue sacando el aparentemente interminable artículo!
La risa parece ser la mejor medicina en este caso, pues ella se ríe torpemente con su amiga mientras todo sucede en el clip viral de TikTok.
"No teníamos ni idea de lo que acababa de encontrar en el fondo de su mc flurry, no me lo puedo creer", añade el usuario @kekebobeke en el texto.
La chica afirma que el artículo fue doblado hacia abajo y dejado atrás a propósito y etiquetó a McDonald's en el post con la esperanza de obtener algunas respuestas.
La cadena de comida rápida aún no ha respondido públicamente, pero los empleados actuales y antiguos están intentando explicar lo que es en los comentarios. Uno dice que es una bolsa de helado líquido y otro dice que es la manga donde vienen las tazas.
No hace falta decir que el cliente espera una disculpa, por lo menos, de la cadena. Suponemos que tampoco rechazaría un McFlurry gratis de por vida. Por decir algo...
Un camión de bomberos de Missouri protagoniza feroz accidente
Un camión de bomberos gira sin control por una calle cubierta de hielo en un gélido barrio de Missouri y choca contra un carro estacionado.
La gente sacó sus teléfonos para capturar el aterrador momento en que el camión perdió el control en una calle residencial que parecía más una pista de patinaje.
No está claro si el camión de bomberos estaba respondiendo a una emergencia antes de que hiciera su aparición, pero los primeros en responder estaban claramente jugando con fuego al intentar avanzar por las calles heladas.
Finalmente, se detuvieron tras golpear un carro estacionado en la entrada de una casa. El camión también se salvó por poco de chocar contra una casa.
El Medio Oeste y el Sur están siendo golpeados con temperaturas bajo cero y este es solo el último de muchos incidentes que ocurren todo el tiempo... recuerde mantenerse a salvo.
ST. LOUIS FIRETRUCK SLIP N' SLIDES DOWN ICY STREET ... Sound the Sirens!!!
Here's an alarming sight coming down your block -- a fire truck spinning out of control down an ice-covered street in a frigid Missouri neighborhood, and smashing into a parked car.
Helpless locals in a St. Louis suburb whipped out their phones to capture the terrifying moment the truck lost all grip on a residential road that looked more like a skating rink.
It's unclear if the fire truck was responding to an emergency before it careened down the block -- but, the first responders were clearly playing with fire as they attempted to navigated the frozen streets.
They finally came to a stop after pummeling a car parked in someone's driveway, and rolling into a yard. The truck just narrowly missed slamming into a house, too!
The Midwest and South are getting hit with sub-zero temps ... and this is just the latest incident reminding all to stay safe out there.

Cancelan un vuelo de Virgin Atlantic los pasajeros detectan la falta de tornillos en el ala
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.
Todos los pasajeros terminaron teniendo que desistir del vuelo y buscar otra manera de viajar.
Virgin Atlantic Flight to NY Has a Screw or 2 Loose ... Workers Drill Down!!!
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.
All the passengers ended up having to deplane and figure out other travel arrangements.

Exchange LA Watch Out Below!!! Ceiling Partially Collapses Mid-Show
EDM artists at a concert in Los Angeles blew the roof off the place Saturday night ... and we mean that kinda literally -- 'cause part of the ceiling collapsed mid-show.
Here's the deal ... Brennan Heart headlined a show at Exchange LA -- a popular local nightclub/music venue. Lucky Rabbit, TYEGUYS and JayR were also slated to take the stage.
But, it seems they weren't all able to -- 'cause part of the ceiling came down right in the middle of the crowd during the show, halting it in its tracks.
Clips of the venue after the crash are all over social media with some users claiming they were there and were either hit or nearly hit by the falling debris ... not exactly the most fun concert experience.
The aftermath's a bit chaotic, with the music cut and show shut down almost immediately while security escorted people out of the building ... check out the message on the all-red screen too -- the venue wasn't messin' around.
It's not clear if anyone was hurt or why exactly the ceiling collapsed ... it's an older building and the rain's been beating up on SoCal for a few days now -- but, quite frankly we don't know.
We have reached out to Exchange LA ... no word back yet.
The one thing we do know ... sometimes when Chicken Little says the sky's falling -- maybe look up!!!

Packers Fan Sorry Luke Bryan, Pack Comes First ... Watches Game Feet From Stage
-
Exclusive
- 1.6K shares
Luke Bryan's rip-roaring ditties can capture any crowd's attention ... unless the Green Bay Packers are on apparently.
TMZ's obtained video from LB's concert at "Crash My Playa" -- a four-night concert event in Cancún hosted by Luke himself -- from Saturday night and everyone seemed super into the music ... except one dedicated GB fan that is.
Instead of taking in the performance, this fan's face was buried in his phone ... watching the Pack take on the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the playoffs -- you can't make this kinda stuff up.
He wasn't in nosebleed seats either -- check out the view! Just feet away from Luke Bryan blasting his hits and getting the crowd fired up. Yep, the concert looked freakin' lit.
Now, we gotta be fair here ... doesn't seem like Mr. Green Bay was blaring the NFL audio, and it was a pretty damn important game -- but, still seems strange to go to the concert if the game's that much on your mind.
Maybe he bought tickets months ago when Green Bay didn't have a snowball's chance in heck to make the playoffs ... before winning their last three games and barely edging out the Seattle Seahawks for the final spot.
Unfortunately for this diehard fan, the Packers game didn't end well for his guys ... with 'Frisco pulling off the late 24-21 victory. Insult to injury alert ... they'll play the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game next weekend -- a major rival of GB.
Luke might be singing about "Knockin' Boots" -- but we just hope this fan isn't kicking himself for focusing on a loss instead of the show.

Pro-Palestine Protesters Shut Down Street Outside Sundance ... Melissa Barrera, Indya Moore Attend
Pro-Palestine protesters shut down a street near the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday afternoon ... and a couple famous faces joined their numbers.
About 100 protesters reportedly showed up on Park City's Main Street for a protest organized by "Let Gaza Live" ... with police in the small Utah town shutting down the block to traffic.

Among those protesting ... former 'Scream' star Melissa Barrera -- who was fired for her comments on the war between Israel and Hamas -- and model/actor Indya Moore.
MB kept a low profile with her hood on and sunglasses covering her eyes while IM was more front and center ... at one point using a megaphone at the rally.
BTW, Barrera's been talking a lot about her firing recently ... telling the Associated Press Friday night that getting laid off from the popular franchise was a "big awakening" for her adding she's "grateful" for everything that's happened.
The protest was pretty peaceful all morning ... with videos populating social media of passionate protesters -- though their chants stirred up some controversy.
Some of the protesters used the phrase "From the river to the sea" which is a point of contention between Israel supporters and Palestine supporters ... they're also going right after President Biden calling him "Genocide Joe" and repurposing an old condemnation of Lyndon B. Johnson -- asking him how many kids he's "killed today."
Israeli supporters, smaller in numbers, now gathered across Main Street shouting “Bring them home” as counter to Palestinian chants. pic.twitter.com/VtK6tm81JZ

Protesters in support of Israel were also on the streets in Park City ... seemingly mounting a counter-protest and chanting "Bring them home" in reference to hostages taken by Hamas during the tragic October 7 attack.
It should be noted that the protest was not affiliated with Sundance, instead just running near it ... a move other political protesters have used in the past to capitalize on media attention. Thousands of protesters gathered back in 2017 to protest then-newly inaugurated President Trump.
Festival representatives released a statement before the march saying they were aware of the demonstration and working with local law enforcement to keep festivalgoers safe.

Darez Diggs Stefon Diggs' Brother ... Sued Over Elevator Attack

Exclusive
- 65 shares
Darez Diggs -- the brother of NFL superstars Stefon Diggs and Trevon Diggs -- has just been sued over his alleged role in a violent elevator attack last year.
Cristopher Griffith filed the lawsuit against the former XFL player on Tuesday ... alleging Darez and several others beat him up as he was getting off an elevator at his Downtown Los Angeles apartment building on May 29.
Griffith said in the suit the attack left him with pain, suffering and emotional distress. He's also suing Darez for $100,000 in jewelry and other property he claims he had on his person during the incident.
Griffith is suing the owner of the apartment complex for unspecified damages as well.
The alleged altercation, of course, was captured on video obtained by TMZ Sports. The footage appears to show Darez standing by as two other men kick and punch Griffith inside the lift.
The clip also appears to show the men taking Griffith's jewelry, before leaving the area.
A spokesperson for the LAPD told us on Wednesday authorities are still investigating the matter ... and no arrests have been made.
For Darez's part, he's never commented publicly on the situation ... though just weeks after it all happened, he was seen in good spirits while working out at Stefon's youth football camp at the Univ. of Maryland.

Darez Diggs, el hermano de las superestrellas de la NFL, Stefon Diggs y Trevon Diggs, acaba de ser demandado por su presunta participación en un violento ataque en un ascensor el año pasado.
Cristopher Griffith presentó la demanda contra el ex jugador de la XFL el martes, alegando que Darez y varios otros lo golpearon cuando salía de un ascensor en su edificio en el centro de Los Ángeles el 29 de mayo.
Griffith dijo en la demanda que el ataque lo dejó con dolor, sufrimiento y angustia emocional. También está demandando a Darez por $100,000 en joyas y otros bienes que afirma que tenía consigo durante el incidente.
Griffith también está demandando al propietario del complejo de apartamentos por daños no especificados.
El supuesto altercado, por supuesto, fue capturado en un video que obtuvo TMZ Sports. La grabación parece mostrar a Darez de pie mientras otros dos hombres patean y golpean a Griffith dentro del ascensor.
El clip también muestra a los hombres tomando las joyas de Griffith, antes de que se fueran del lugar.
Un portavoz de la policía de Los Ángeles nos dijo el miércoles que las autoridades siguen investigando el asunto y no se han hecho arrestos.
Por parte de Darez, nunca ha comentado públicamente la situación, aunque solo unas semanas después de lo sucedido, fue visto de buen humor mientras se entrenaba con el equipo de fútbol juvenil de Stefon en la Universidad de Maryland.
Beverly Johnson Hotel Drained Pool After I Swam ... Found Out Years Later
Beverly Johnson's opening up about racism she says she faced during her career ... but one moment's kinda new to her -- despite happening about 40 years ago.
The 71-year-old -- who became the first Black model on the cover of Vogue almost 50 years ago -- revealed she once went swimming at a hotel ... and they drained the pool after she hopped out.
Here's the deal ... BJ told Page Six she pulled up to Eileen Ford's 90th birthday party back in 2012 -- about two years before EF died -- and her friends were talking about the old days when someone asked if she remembered a certain hotel draining the pool back in the '80s.
Bev says she was shocked -- she had no idea that happened way back when ... and though she didn't know about it back then, she's sure it was racism. FYI, Johnson won't name the hotel ... saying she's not looking to get sued.
The mother-of-one added tons of stuff like that would happen to her in the modeling world just because of her skin color ... she didn't elaborate with Page Six, but her 2015 memoir 'The Face That Changed It All' and her 2020 op-ed about persistent racism in the industry both hit on other instances.
Another interesting part of the interview -- Beverly revealed model Lauren Hutton always went to bat for her when it came to modeling opportunities.
Johnson said LH would "go to photo shoots and say out loud, ‘Why isn’t Beverly on the cover of magazines? She is just as pretty,'" adding that Lauren was the "it girl" at the time, so her words meant something ... basically get you a friend like Lauren Hutton!
BTW ... Beverly's doing press to promote her new one-woman show coming to Off-Broadway titled "Beverly Johnson In Vogue." She seems pretty jazzed about it -- just look how excited she was when we caught up with her in NYC.
Clearly, BJ's not sweating anyone trying to tear her down ... break a leg, Bev!!!

Pennsylvania Murder Mans Kills Neighbor Over Snoring ... Charged With Murder
A Pennsylvania man is dead because his loud snoring kept waking up his fed-up neighbor, who stabbed him to death to get him to stop.
The bizarre, real-life tale began last Sunday evening in Upper Moreland Township, where police responded to the home of Christopher Casey after receiving a 911 call from him to report a stabbing.
When they arrived, the cops discovered Casey's neighbor, Robert Wallace, about 50 feet from the house with two knife wounds in his body. Casey also had been stabbed in the right thigh. Police found blood inside and outside the residence.
Both men were rushed to a local hospital, where Wallace died, and Casey was treated for his non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators were able to piece together that Wallace went over to Casey's home that night and stepped onto his porch to detach a screen from one of the windows.
Casey, who was eating dinner, was somehow alerted and confronted Wallace, getting into a heated argument.
During the verbal altercation, Casey produced a military-style knife, plunging the blade into Wallace twice. It was not clear how Casey suffered his wound. Police recovered the knife at the crime scene.
Perhaps the most stunning element of the story came when detectives learned the motive behind the attack ... the neighbors had been involved in an ongoing beef over Casey's loud snoring, which could be heard through a wall shared by their connected homes.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said Casey was arrested Thursday and charged with Third-Degree Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter and Possessing an Instrument of Crime. Casey is currently in custody, while being held on $1 million cash bail.
