An American Airlines flight descended into total chaos when an antisemitic passenger spewed a seriously hateful insult at a flight attendant before ending up in a headlock.

You gotta check out this wild clip -- the guy in the blue striped shirt totally loses it even before the flight from Tampa to Philadelphia takes off Tuesday ... he's hurling hate left and right, accusing everyone of ganging up on him.

But, when he drops an antisemitic slur on a flight attendant, you can see the shock on everyone's faces ... but he doesn't care and goes on to yell, "I'm trying to get to my home country, and you all people made it harder for me to get to my home country!"

It gets even crazier when he gets into a scuffle with another passenger -- the guy in the blue hoodie -- accusing him of touching him. They get in each other's faces, and there's plenty of machismo posturing, before the dude in the hoodie takes charge and puts the antisemite in a headlock!

Further backup arrives with the woman in a backward hat trying to calm things down, saying she's a cop ... and turns out the hoodie guy is too.

As he applied the headlock, he yelled, "Now put your hands down and don't touch anybody" ... before escorting him to the plane's exit.

Elon Musk finalmente ha decidido mostrar lo que Neuralink ha estado haciendo. Resulta que han mostrado al primer sujeto utilizando su tecnología... y es increíble.

El jefe de Tesla -que también dirige Neuralink- publicó un video de cerca de 9 minutos mostrando por primera vez a alguien usando su tecnología. Hablamos del testimonio de un tipo llamado Noland Arbaugh, un tetrapléjico de 29 años de edad que pasó por el quirófano para poder usar Neuralink.

Dice que tuvo un extraño accidente de buceo hace unos 8 años que lo dejó paralizado de los hombros para abajo, y tras enterarse de lo que Neuralink podía hacer, se inscribió.

El video muestra cómo funciona exactamente esta tecnología, y efectivamente, se puede ver a Noland utilizando su mente para mover el cursor de un ordenador portátil que tiene delante en el que está jugando al ajedrez. Se ve bastante fluido, ¡y lo tiene dominado!

Noland es capaz de mover las piezas de ajedrez en la pantalla e incluso bajar el volumen de la música, todo con solo pensarlo. Se complica un poco al describir cómo lo hace exactamente, diciendo que está implementando algo llamado "movimiento imaginado", y utilizando el "poder de la mente".

Como hemos dicho, parece tenerlo todo bajo control, y es aún más sorprendente lo bien que se encuentra luego de la cirugía. Otro tema que toca en el video.

Noland respalda a Neuralink y reconoce que todavía hay mucho trabajo que hacer para perfeccionarlo, pero asegura que el progreso que han hecho hasta ahora es prometedor. Afirma que el número de personas a las que podría ayudar es asombroso, y se alegra de ser el paciente número 1.

Es bastante sorprendente, y puedes imaginar que habrá muchos que querrán prestarse como conejillos de indias, sobre todo viendo lo bien que ha resultado hasta ahora.

Elon Musk has finally pulled back the curtain on what Neuralink has been doing behind the scenes -- showing off their very first subject using their tech ... and it's incredible.

The Tesla chief -- who also heads Neuralink -- posted a link from his company that featured about 9 minutes of video from Neuralink ... and it's a full-blown testimonial from a guy named Noland Arbaugh -- a 29-year-old quadriplegic who went under the knife for this.

He says he was in a freak diving accident about 8 years ago, and it left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. After hearing about what Neuralink could do, however, he signed up.

The clip goes on to show how exactly the technology works -- and sure enough ... you can see Noland using his mind to move a mouse around on a laptop that's set up in front of him ... on which the guy's playing chess. It looks pretty seamless, and he's got it down pat!

Noland is able to move chess pieces on the screen and even turn down music -- all by simply thinking about where he wants the mouse to go. He gets into the weeds a bit in describing how exactly he does it ... saying he's implementing something called imagined movement, trying to pivot away from attempted movement with a whole lot of brain power.

Like we said ... he certainly seems to have a knack for it now -- and even more amazing is how well he appears to be doing post-surgery, something else he touches on in this video.

Noland gives a ringing endorsement for Neuralink -- acknowledging there's still much work to do to perfect it ... but saying the progress they've made so far is promising. He says the number of people this could potentially help is staggering ... and he's happy to be patient #1.

It's pretty powerful visuals ... and you gotta imagine more folks are gonna put their names down to be guinea pigs for this effort -- especially seeing how well it's gone thus far.

Un amigo cercano del príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle, Christopher Bouzy, se está sumergiendo de cabeza en la saga de Kate Middleton y está claramente junto a los internautas que están siguiendo de cerca las teorías conspirativas.

En un post de X el martes, el CEO de una empresa de tecnología de Nueva York, que apareció en el documental de Netflix de la pareja, dice que el video de la princesa de Gales en el Windsor Farm Shop el fin de semana pasado definitivamente no se parece a la verdadera Kate, al menos desde su perspectiva.

De hecho, en otro tuit, afirma que la mujer que se ve caminando en nuestro video podría ser en realidad una doble. También publicó una combinación de videos que la muestran caminando con el príncipe William en el pasado para respaldar su teoría.

Chris escribió: "He recopilado algunos videos antiguos de William y Kate caminando juntos, así como el reciente video de Windsor Farm. Echa un vistazo y decide tú mismo si es Kate o no. En mi opinión, todavía no hemos visto a Kate en público".

Hay más, si haces un rápido scroll a través de su cuenta de X se ve que Christopher Bouzy parece bastante obsesionado con la teoría de que el reciente avistamiento de Kate corresponde a una doble. Está, de hecho, muy inclinado a esta idea.

También ha tratado de analizar las imágenes de Kate caminando en tacones versus zapatos planos, diciendo que por las zancadas que se pueden ver en los clips, parece seguro que Kate no estaba en el Windsor Farm Shop el fin de semana pasado.

Como ustedes saben, todo el mundo ha estado especulando sobre el paradero de Kate, ya que no había sido vista desde que fue hospitalizada en enero por una cirugía abdominal.

Estuvo fuera del radar durante tanto tiempo que la gente empezó a lanzar todo tipo de teorías sobre su paradero y se han lanzado un montón de sugerencias increíbles.

Las cosas realmente se complicaron cuando fue vista en Windsor, como se ve en nuestro video exclusivo, pero Bouzy es de los que no se está comprando las imágenes, diciendo que la forma en que Kate se movía mientras estaba sosteniendo una bolsa no concuerda con alguien a quien se le ha recomendado tomárselo con más calma después de una cirugía.

PARA SU INFORMACIÓN, Bouzy no es ajeno a criticar a Kate y Will. Previamente, ha tuiteado que la pareja estaba envejeciendo "mal". En cambio, siempre ha cubierto las espaldas de Harry y Meg, defendiéndolos de los trolls y diciendo que no deberían tener que lidiar con esas tonterías.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's close pal Christopher Bouzy is diving headfirst into the the Kate Middleton saga ... and he's clearly with the conspiracy theory crowd on this.

In an X post Tuesday, the NYC tech CEO -- who appeared on the couple's Netflix doc as a talking head -- says the video of the Princess of Wales at the Windsor farm shop last weekend definitely doesn't look like the real Kate, in his eyes anyway.

In fact, in another tweet of is -- he goes so far as to claim that the woman seen walking in our clip might actually be a stunt double. He also posted a mash-up of videos showing her walking with Prince William in the past to back up his theory.

Chris wrote, "I've compiled a few older videos of William and Kate walking together, as well as the recent video from Windsor Farm. Take a look and decide for yourself if it's Kate or not. In my opinion, we still haven't seen Kate in public."

There's more ... a quick scroll through CB's X page shows that he seems pretty fixated on his theory that the recent Kate sighting was a doppelgänger situation -- totally leaning into it.

He's also tried analyzing footage of Kate strutting in heels versus flat shoes ... saying based on the strides he can see from old clips, he seems sure Kate wasn't at the Windsor Farm Shop last weekend.

As you know, everyone's been speculating about Kate whereabouts since she hadn't been seen since she was hospitalized back in January for an abdominal surgery.

She was off the radar for so long that folks started tossing around all sorts of theories about where the Princess could be ... and a lot of wild suggestions have been floated.

Things really hit the fan when she was spotted in Windsor -- as seen in our excusive video -- but Bouzy's among those who isn't buying the footage, saying the way Kate was moving so briskly while holding a bag ain't in line with someone advised to take it easy after surgery.

FYI ... Bouzy's no stranger to throwing shade at Kate and Will, having previously tweeted they were aging in "banana years." In comparison, he's always had Harry and Meg's backs ... defending them from the trolls, saying they shouldn't have to deal with that nonsense.

Alguien en el hospital donde Kate Middleton estaba siendo atendida a principios de este año supuestamente trató de echar un vistazo a su historial médico, pero fue atrapado según cuenta un nuevo informe.

El Mirror dejó caer esta bomba el martes, afirmando que fueron informados de que al menos un empleado de The London Clinic habría intentado acceder al expediente personal de Kate, presumiblemente, para ver lo que realmente andaba mal con ella, pero el medio dice que la persona fue interceptada en el acto.

No hay muchos más detalles en términos de cómo se desarrolló esto exactamente, o lo que le pasó al trabajador que hizo esto, por no hablar de quién lo vio y lo contuvo.

En cualquier caso, el Mirror dice que se puso en marcha una investigación interna y que los altos mandos del hospital se pusieron en contacto con el Palacio de Kensington tras descubrir este intento de violación y prometieron llega al fondo del asunto.

The Mirror también informa que otros trabajadores están conmocionados y sacudidos por esto. The London Clinic es un establecimiento médico muy respetado y que trata a personas de alto perfil, incluidos los miembros de la familia real en general.

La Clínica le dijo a Mirror: "Creemos firmemente que todos nuestros pacientes, sin importar su estatus, merecen total privacidad y confidencialidad respecto a su información médica".

No se sabe si esto fue reportado a la policía, pero por lo que parece, no es el caso. La Policía Metropolitana de Londres nos dice: "No podemos proporcionar nada al respecto, ya que necesitamos saber si London Clinic nos lo ha comunicado y, si es así, cuándo".

Recuerden, este es el mismo hospital por donde fue visto el príncipe Guillermo saliendo en enero, poco después de que Kate fuera hospitalizada para someterse a una cirugía abdominal por una misteriosa dolencia.

Había un montón de preguntas acerca de su salud y su condición en ese entonces, aunque no tanto como las hay ahora, teniendo en cuenta que ha estado desaparecida durante meses ... Recién apareció de nuevo el sábado.

Es por eso que es impactante escuchar esto, suponiendo que sea cierto. A primera vista, parece que al menos un miembro del personal tenía mucha curiosidad por saber qué le pasaba a Kate, tanto que incluso arriesgó su trabajo y su reputación para echar un vistazo a su historial médico, cuando la mayoría de la gente se contentaba con dejarla en paz.

Por supuesto, han pasado muchas cosas desde que Kate dejó el hospital, incluyendo un montón de teorías conspirativas sobre su salud y su paradero, que han alcanzado niveles máximos de absurdidad.

El palacio de Kensington, por supuesto, se ha mantenido bastante callado al respecto. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con The London Clinic y el Palacio a propósito de esta nueva historia, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

Somebody at the hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated earlier this year allegedly tried to sneak a peek at her medical records, but got caught -- this per a new report.

The Mirror dropped this bombshell Tuesday, claiming they've been told that at least one staffer at the London Clinic had attempted to access Kate's personal file -- presumably to see what was actually wrong with her -- but the outlet says they were intercepted in the act.

There's not much more detail in terms of how exactly this unfolded, or what happened to the worker who allegedly did this ... not to mention who saw them and put a stop to it.

In any case, the Mirror says an internal investigation has been launched at the London Clinic -- and they claim top brass at the hospital contacted Kensington Palace once they became alerted to the attempted security breach, and promised they'd get to the bottom of it.

The Mirror also reports that other workers there are shocked and shaken up by this -- as the London Clinic is a well-respected and usually honorable medical establishment that treats high-profile people ... including members of the Royal family at large.

The London Clinic told The Mirror, "We firmly believe that all our patients, no matter their status, deserve total privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information."

No word on whether this has been reported to cops either -- but from the sounds of it, it hasn't. The Metropolitan Police in London tells us ... "We can’t provide anything on this, as we need to know if the London Clinic have reported it to us and, if so, when."

Remember, this is the same hospital Prince William was seen leaving in January -- shortly after Kate was hospitalized to undergo an abdominal surgery ... for a mysterious ailment.

There was a lot of questions about her health/condition then -- but not nearly as much as there is now considering she's been MIA for months ... only just surfacing again Saturday.

That's why it's shocking to hear this, assuming it's true. On its face, it seems at least one staffer was gravely curious to see what was up with Kate ... risking their job and reputation to steal a glance at her chart at the time, when most everyone was content to leave her be.

Of course, a lot has happened since Kate left this hospital -- including lots of conspiracy theories on her health and whereabouts, which have reached peak levels of absurdity.

Kensington Palace, of course, has been fairly mum over just about all of it. We've reached out to the London Clinic and the Palace on this new story ... so far, no word back yet.

One of the UK's most popular Kate Middleton look-alikes is addressing the conspiracy theorists who think she's actually the woman in the new vid of Prince William and his wife -- and she has a solid alibi for her whereabouts.

Heidi Agan tells TMZ she was working at the head office of a dance school in Northamptonshire on Saturday -- which is about 80 miles from the Windsor Farm Shop. So, as Shaggy would put it ... Heidi says "it wasn't me" in that footage first posted Monday by TMZ.

Although it's not necessarily surprising conspiracy theorists are wondering if she was involved ... as Heidi says she was confused for being Kate during a recent outing -- she says the place erupted when people thought the MIA princess had surfaced.

And, Heidi has been busier than ever thanks to the constant speculation regarding Kate's whereabouts. The pro look-alike says normally her work is busy when the royals are busy -- whether that's because of weddings, pregnancies, etc.

However, despite Kate stepping back from the spotlight, Heidi claims she still has a lot of requests coming in.

As for how she feels about the conspiracy theories -- Heidi thinks the speculation has gone a bit too far and has sympathy for the Duchess of Wales. She personally thinks Kate is fine and is simply recovering from abdominal surgery ... just as the Palace announced back in January.

While Kate is a public figure, Heidi believes the royal has a right to her privacy when it comes to her medical records, and reminds fans the Princess isn't public property.

She points to the lack of information as the fuel for the increasingly wild theories ... especially since King Charles was so forthcoming with his cancer diagnosis.

The Mother's Day photo was just icing on the cake ... since it was likely meant to squash any concern, but did the exact opposite.

Una de las imitadoras más populares de Kate Middleton en el Reino Unido, se dirige a los teóricos de la conspiración que piensan que ella es la mujer del nuevo video del príncipe Guillermo y su esposa, y tiene una coartada sólida.

Heidi Agan le dice a TMZ que estaba trabajando en la sede de una escuela de baile en Northamptonshire el sábado, a unos 80 kilómetros de la tienda de Windsor Farm. Así que no era ella la del metraje publicado por primera vez el lunes por TMZ.

Hay que admitir que no es demasiado raro que los conspiranoicos crean que ella estaba involucrada. Heidi dice que fue confundida con Kate hace poco y dice que el lugar estalló cuando la gente pensó que era la princesa en persona.

Heidi ha estado más ocupada que nunca gracias a las constantes especulaciones sobre el paradero de Kate. La doble profesional dice que normalmente su trabajo está ocupado cuando la realeza también lo está, ya sea por bodas, embarazos, etc.

Sin embargo, a pesar de que Kate está lejos de los focos, Heidi asegura que le siguen llegando muchas peticiones.

En cuanto a cómo se siente acerca de las teorías conspirativas, Heidi cree que la especulación ha ido demasiado lejos y tiene simpatía por la duquesa de Gales. Ella personalmente piensa que Kate está bien y simplemente se está recuperando de una cirugía abdominal, tal como anunció el Palacio en enero.

Aunque Kate es una figura pública, Heidi cree que la realeza tiene derecho a su privacidad cuando se trata de registros médicos, y le recuerda a los fans que la princesa no es propiedad pública.

Ella señala la falta de información como el motivo de tantas teorías cada vez más salvajes, sobre todo porque el rey Carlos era muy franco con su diagnóstico de cáncer.

La foto del Día de la Madre fue solo la guinda del pastel, ya que era iba a eliminar cualquier preocupación, pero hizo exactamente lo contrario.

Kate Middleton supposedly surfaced in public this weekend near her home -- but the weird thing is ... there's no photo evidence to back it up, just a report citing alleged eyewitnesses.

The Sun floated this story Sunday, claiming the Princess of Wales was out and about Saturday at a local business called the Windsor Farm Shop -- which is about a mile from her family's Adelaide Cottage home.

The shop in question sells a variety of products -- including plants and flowers, baked goods, meats, wines and spirits and more ... basically, it's a little grocery store, only more quaint.

According to the outlet -- which cited anonymous onlookers -- claims these people saw looking "happy, relaxed and healthy" as she was apparently joined by Prince William. The Sun goes on to claim they spent the morning watching their kids playing sports ... noting the three little ones weren't with them as they hit the market.

One alleged eyewitness says they were stunned to see Kate there, on account of the whirlwind of rumors surrounding her health and whereabouts ... but also pointed out the fact that she was walking around proved she was well enough to get out of the house.

Of course, the one problem with this whole story is ... there's no evidence to prove it -- and at a time like this, when misinformation is all over, ya gotta take it with a grain of salt.

Aside from 2 pics that purport to show Kate in the past few weeks -- one of her in the car with her mother and another of her and PW in a car, both of which have come under scrutiny amid the Mother's Day photo fail -- there's no other evidence of Kate out in public.

So, with this in mind, it's hard to believe nobody snapped a photo of her and Kate for this outing ... assuming they actually took it. With all the fervor and speculation -- photograph of KM looking "healthy" is worth its weight in gold right now, and everyone knows it.

Kate isn't expected to resume her Royal duties until at least after Easter -- but no hard date has been set, and no engagement of hers has been announced either.

Remember, Kate underwent abdominal surgery in January and has been sidelined every since. The longer she's been out of the public eye -- the more gossip has kicked up ... and Kensington Palace has been nothing but mum over just about all of it.

The Orlando Magic realized it made a huge mistake on Sunday ... after its social media team posted what it felt was an innocent jersey swap between Gradey Dick and Anthony Black -- before catching on to the wildly inappropriate message the exchange spelled out.

The two rookie hoopers met up on the court to show love to each other following the Magic's 111-96 win over the Toronto Raptors ... and after talking for a bit, it appeared a lightbulb went off in both Black and Dick's heads.

The 2023 lottery picks decided to gift each other the jerseys off their backs as part of the common NBA tradition ... but it was clear they had an elaborate plan to crack a quick joke using their surnames.

The broadcast cameras caught Black running over to a photog to make sure they captured the swap ... and when he posed alongside Dick, he positioned himself to his left so their last names read ... well, you get it.

Black had a smirk on his face as he held Dick's jersey ... and his buddy was also smiling from ear to ear.

The Magic innocently published a shot of the exchange on X ... but after a bit, it was deleted due to the influx of users reacting to the viral moment.

Timothée Chalamet se mueve por la película biográfica de Bob Dylan como una "piedra rodante", encarnando al famoso cantautor en las primeras fotos del set.

El actor llegó a las calles de Nueva York para rodar escenas de la nueva película "A Complete Unknown" el domingo, y ya podmeos verlo interpretando al diez veces ganador del Grammy, con bufanda, gorra, mochila y guitarra incluida.

Timothée se ve un poco angustiado en estas fotos... tal vez es un momento emocional en la vida del legendario cantante, y sin duda, uno que Timmy está llevando a cabo de manera impecable.

También filmó una escena a principios del fin de semana, en la que aparece al lado de una calle con un café en la mano... una gran defensa contra cualquier noche fría en Nueva York.

Hay que reconocer que el actor tiene el físico para interpretar de manera convincente al mítico trovador.

Pero, Timothée no es el tipo de actor que se basa solo en la apariencia. Nos informan que ha estado tomando clases de guitarra durante un tiempo en preparación para el papel, mientras que también está listo para cantar como Dylan en la próxima película.

Sabemos que tiene talento para interpretar a Bob -basta con ver "Wonka" para comprobarlo- y la leyenda de la composición, Hans Zimmer, elogió las habilidades musicales de Chalamet. En nuestra opinión, todo un elogio.

Por cierto, hay que reconocer que Chalamet no se ha dormido en los laureles: "Dune: Parte Dos" ya está llegando al medio billón de dólares en la taquilla mundial y los críticos parecen amar la película también.

Timothée Chalamet's rockin' around the Bob Dylan biopic like a rolling stone ... embodying the famous singer-songwriter in the first pics from set.

The actor hit the streets of NYC to shoot scenes for the new flick "A Complete Unknown" Sunday, and he's already got the 10-time Grammy winner's style down -- scarf, cap and rucksack at the ready with a guitar tucked safely in his hand.

TC's lookin' a little distraught in these pics ... perhaps an emotional moment in the legendary crooner's life -- and, no doubt one Timmy's pulling off flawlessly.

He also filmed a scene earlier in the weekend -- appearing on the side of a street with a coffee in hand ... a great defense against any chilly night in New York.

One big takeaway from the new photos ... Chalamet's got the Dylan look down -- not totally a surprise given the similar features of the two megastars.

But, Timothée's not the kind of actor to bank on looks alone ... the dude's reportedly been taking guitar lessons for a while now in preparation for the role while he's also all set to sing as Dylan in the upcoming flick.

We know he's got the pipes to pull off a performance as BD -- just watch "Wonka" to see for yourself -- and composing legend Hans Zimmer even praised Chalamet's musical chops. Some damn high praise if you ask us.

BTW ... gotta give it up to Chalamet for not resting on his laurels -- "Dune: Part Two" is already coming up on a half-a-billion dollars at the global box office ... and critics seem to love the flick too.

Another day, another Boeing problem -- this time a United Airlines flight had a huge chunk of the plane ripped off in the air ... and, yikes.

The flight took off from San Francisco Friday afternoon and ultimately landed safely at its final destination in Oregon ... but once the aircraft arrived, it was discovered a panel near the bottom of the plane got torn off mid-flight, exposing the underbelly of the aircraft.

The photo of the damage -- taken after the 737 plane successfully landed -- is startling ... you can see the guts of the plane inside ... with a bunch of plane parts fully exposed.

You can also see where the panel itself broke off ... there's a clear tear in the material -- which, again, is alarming, to say the least ... especially with everything that's been going on with Boeing lately, and there's been a lot.

While reports say all passengers in this incident were safe -- it, unfortunately, marks the latest Boeing mishap to occur in a relatively short window. Remember, Boeing planes -- some of which have been on UA flights -- seem to be falling apart all over the world.

One plane lost a wheel last week, and another Boeing plane had flames shooting out of one of the turbine engines while up in the sky ... and had to make an emergency landing.

Of course, there's also the LATAM Boeing flight in Australia that briefly started to fall out of the air ... although, now, they seem to be suggesting that was user error.

That doesn't make things much better though ... especially after a door blew off earlier this year on yet another Boeing plane. And let's not forget ... there's still this whole whistleblower saga going on.

Remember, John Barnett died this past week while in the middle of a retaliation lawsuit against Boeing -- this after he alleged they'd been cutting corners on safety measures for years. Cops say it appears he took his own life ... but his attorneys have been calling BS.

Bottom line ... it's choppy waters for Boeing these days.

As for today, UA says ... "We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service. We’ll also conduct an investigation to better understand how this damage occurred." The FAA says it'll investigate too.

Madonna called out a woman in a wheelchair for not standing up at one of her concerts -- and while everyone gave her s*** for it ... the lady herself really isn't sweating it.

Vanessa Gorman -- who was the woman Madge called out in Vancouver last month -- tells TMZ ... she was pretty shocked by the concert callout at Rogers Arena -- 'cause she says she was in a bright pink wheelchair and figured Madonna could see it clear as day.

She also says she initially didn't think that Madonna was talking about her when the singer asked why she wasn't standing -- but when it became clear, she was kinda star-struck ... which you can see in this video from her angle, obtained by TMZ.

Watch ... Madonna is seen singling out Vanessa -- who was seated on the floor right by the stage. While the spotlight was technically put on her, Vanessa says she was unfazed by the attention ... and responded by simply shouting her love for the singer. So, no outrage.

Looking back on the exchange, Vanessa -- who is a paraplegic from a motor vehicle accident in 1999 -- doesn't think Madonna was being mean ... defending her idol by saying it was clearly a mistake. For anyone wondering, she is absolutely not offended by the situation.

She adds ... "Some people are in wheelchairs and can stand -- she had no idea I was paralyzed."

The fan applauds Madonna for apologizing right away and into the mic so that everybody could hear it. FWIW, Vanessa says that she went on to enjoy the rest of the concert.

Unfortunately for Madge, this was just the latest headline her world tour has made in recent months. Remember, Madonna was called out by Luther Vandross' estate after the singer was mistakenly included in the AIDS tribute that plays during her performance of "Live to Tell."

This is the definition of life imitating art, only here ... it's from Larry David's world.

Check out this defacement job that happened on a billboard on the corner of Centinela Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. here in Los Angeles -- where an advertisement for Susie Essman's Caftan from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" went up sometime this past week in an homage to the show.

If you're unfamiliar, her Susie character from 'Curb' started her own business and threw up a billboard to advertise it -- which got vandalized on TV with people drawing penises around her face ... something that delighted LD.

As it turns out ... HBO commissioned an exact replica of this fake TV billboard to go up in real life as well, and to nobody's surprise -- it was also defaced, just like on 'CYE.'

If you're wondering who's responsible for the tag job ... we have an answer. There's an activist art collective called INDECLINE -- and they say they're the ones who pulled this off. We're told this went down early Friday morning ... and they even filmed themselves doing it.

The reason ... they say they were just fulfilling a wish from none other than 'Curb' star Jeff Garlin himself ... who responded to someone this week after the billboard went up and wrote, "Someone should put a d*** up there. Maybe two." Welp, that's exactly what INDECLINE did.

The collective tells TMZ, they give Larry a lot of credit for forming their sense of humor and sensibility ... so they feel they were paying homage to him by carrying out this stunt.

They add, "A few nights ago, we watched in awe as one of our favorite pastimes, 'billboard liberation, was incorporated into the latest episode. We received a flood of texts and DMs about the existence of the billboard in Los Angeles and even saw that Jeff Garland was on Instagram calling for it to be altered."

INDECLINE goes on ... "So, as a thank you to Larry David, for his contribution to the field of art imitating life, we give you our contribution to the practice of life imitating art."

The obvious question is ... are cops gonna look into this? We're told by law enforcement sources that, at this point, nobody has called in just yet to report a crime -- so as far as they're concerned ... there's not much to do about this for now.

BTW, these are the same guys that did the naked Trump statue years ago ... so there you go. They're known for stuff like this -- and they didn't disappoint here either.
