Weird News

A Canadian photog saw something that was, quite literally, rock hard out in the wild -- which had no problem standing up to the cold, frigid weather ... despite conventional wisdom.

Of course, we're talking about icebergs -- specifically, one a dude named Ken Pretty recently spotted with his drone off the coast of Harbour Grace in Newfoundland ... which was undoubtedly shaped like an erect penis. Indeed, the pics speak for themselves here, folks.

Take a look for yourself ... you can see the giant phallic formation hanging out, seemingly broken off from an even larger glacier that's floating in the ice water right next to it.

BTW, it's not just the upright part catching people's eye -- there's spare parts at the bottom that bring this scene into clearer view -- the whole package, if you will. The strangest part, though, is that Pretty hails from an even more telling place ... the town of Dildo!

It's almost as if he was destined to find this thing and tell the others about it, which he did.

KP told the Guardian, "Looking from the land, it wasn’t quite clear. But, once I got the drone out there, it was unreal how much it looked like – well, you know…" He went on to say people who saw it online afterward thought it was fake -- but he insists it's the real McCoy.

Police knocked on Keanu Reeves' front door after getting a call for a welfare check on a  woman ... but when the actor answered, they discovered it was apparently all a mix-up or a prank.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... cops recently responded to Keanu's L.A.-area home after someone called police, worried about a 27-year-old woman.

Police say the caller told them they hadn't spoken to their female friend in a while, and they were concerned about her ... even providing her full date of birth, and what kind of car she was driving.

We're told the caller requested police do a welfare check to make sure the woman was all right -- but when cops got to the home and knocked on the door, they were surprised to see Keanu answer.

Police say they told Keanu how they ended up on his doorstep, but the "John Wick" star had no knowledge of the woman in question ... and told cops she certainly didn't live with him.

Half a dozen cows were found dead deep in the heart of Texas this past week -- and some of the things that were done to their bodies are suggesting one culprit to some ... aliens.

According to reports, the Madison County Sheriff's Office -- which is about an hour and a half north of Houston -- detailed the mysterious tale Wednesday ... including what had been done to the carcasses, like the removal of their tongues and flesh from parts of their faces.

The strange thing about this -- besides the fact that the same thing had been done to all 6 of the dead cattle -- is that the Sheriff's Office there says no blood was spilled or left behind.

This story gets even weirder ... apparently, the dead cows each belonged to different herds from different pastures -- and they were all discovered a Texas State Highway (unclear which) that connects Madison County, Brazos County and Robertson County.

In other words, it doesn't sound like any of these cows were found together -- on the contrary, it seems they were scattered separately along this remote and rural highway.

Now the kicker ... the Sheriff's Office says 2 of the cows had even more damage done to them in a surgical-like manner -- namely, the removal of their genitalia and anuses, which MCSO describes as being carried out using a circular cut with the "same precision as the cuts noted around the jaw lines of each cow." Ranchers in the area also claimed predatory scavengers would NOT touch these bodies ... some of which were apparently out there for weeks. One last spooky factor ... the grass around them supposedly looked undisturbed.

The Madison County Sherriff's Office says the cause of deaths for these cattle remain undetermined. They also say similar reports have been filed around the country.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is so big she might have aliens in on the act -- that's what some folks in the Tampa area were thinking, as lights from her show led to UFO sightings!!!

TayTay performed at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium for 3 days at the end of last week, but lots of Floridians got a show even outside the stadium ... where they whipped out phones to document strange activity in the sky.

It's funny now, but you can hear the panic in the voice of one concerned resident, who posted a video to TikTok, showing a wide band of lights shifting across a cloudy sky. Ya gotta see it ... she repeatedly screams, "Bro, what the f***???"

Now, all the sky gazers seem aware T-Swift was playing nearby that night ... but they're completely convinced the lights in question are not from her concert, and instead something otherworldly.

At one point, a woman in the vid exclaims "that is NOT Taylor Swift!"

Of course, the lighting effect they were staring at was 100% from her show, but with all the recent UFO buzz -- from politicians and military leaders -- hard to blame these folks!

Flavor Flav has officially crossed over into the Ivy Leagues ... after spending today and tomorrow at Harvard University schooling students about the roots of hip hop culture!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of the Public Enemy legend lending his expertise in the language arts to students within Harvard ... through a table read of Emily Dickinson's 1896 poem “A Clock Stopped” -- and how it tied into rapper's bars over time.

It was a fitting choice of literature, seeing that Flav donated one of his notable clocks to the Hip Hop Archive Research Institute. Professors Henry Louis Gates and Tommie Shelby were on hand to accept the timepiece.

Other guests included Lupe Fiasco, who previously taught at Harvard and now teaches at MIT, rapper Dee-1, DJ Stretch Armstrong, and Khaliah Ali ... daughter of late boxing great Muhammad Ali and longtime personal friend of Flav's.

We're told Flav still has plenty of festivities in the pipeline ... he's scheduled for a writer's workshop, a sitdown with PBS and he's volunteering to feed the homeless inside the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter with a few student groups.

Robert Downey Jr. fans now have a shot at an interesting piece of history from Jon Favreau's Walk of Fame ceremony ... cause a guy is selling what he claims is Iron Man's chewed-up gum!!!

The gum is currently up for sale on eBay and it has a starting bid of $55,000. According to the listing, the seller attended the ceremony where actor/producer and "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau was added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Iron Man himself, RDJ, was on hand for the big event ... and created a moment by taking chewed gum out of his mouth and sticking on Jon's shiny new star. Downey joked it was "just to make it official."

The seller claims he was able to snag the gum, right where RDJ left it. Now, it's apparently up for grabs "in the same condition" he got it 😬

We know what you're thinking ... how in the hell's he gonna authenticate???

Well, the seller is super confident it's the real deal, and says the buyer can even test the gum for RDJ's DNA. Good luck getting Robert to provide a sample for comparison, though.

If used celeb gum is your thing, bidding ends Friday! Also ... ew.

2 lovers have officially become 1 with the help of a famous drug-sniffing black bear -- and we've got the wedding day photos so you can bear witness to the special occasion.

TMZ broke the story, Kentucky natives Alexandra and Armando were set to say "I Do" Monday at the KY for KY Fun Mall in Lexington ... and these pics from inside the venue show Cocaine Bear makin' quite the impression as the ceremony kicks off.

C.B. even dressed up for the monumental occasion -- swapping out his raccoon-skin headwear for a top hat ... classy move, Pablo Escobear!

As we reported, the owner of the museum where the stuffed bear resides was all for the unorthodox ceremony -- telling Roadside America, "As long as you feel that the person marrying you -- like Cocaine Bear -- has the authority, then that marriage can be binding here in Kentucky."

BTW -- looks like the flick of the same name was gettin' some promotion on the big day ... as you know, the 2023 movie is loosely based on that exact bear that died in 1985 after ingesting a BUNCH of cocaine dropped from a plane piloted by convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton.

Ray Liotta's Facebook account is no longer posting celeb death hoaxes and sending out weird links to fake news ... at least that's what his team's hoping, but seems like the mystery hacker isn't giving up that easily.

Here's the deal ... the late actor's Facebook account started posting a ton of strange things last week, like death hoaxes, news links and fake stories about Ellen DeGeneres, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger -- all of which confused and alarmed fans who followed the late "Goodfellas" star.

Late this week, a rep for Ray's team told TMZ they'd finally resolved the issue by reaching out to Facebook and working with them to address the problem.

Or, so they thought. Shortly after we were told the account was secured ... another bizarre post -- for Ray's page, at least -- went up promoting a porn scene. It has since been removed.

We've reached out regarding the porn post, but no word back yet.

While his team told us they believed the account was back in good hands ... that doesn't seem to be the case.

The troubling part is it seems a mystery as to who's been hacking his page and how these posts keep ending up on his feed. All the old phony posts have been deleted, but it's clear someone is still using his account with ill intentions.

Despite the scary security breach, Ray's camp says Mark Zuckerberg's company has been "an amazing partner in resolving the issue."

As you know, Ray died in his sleep last May, when the 67-year-old was filming a movie in the Dominican Republic.

Justin Thomas got REALLY close with one of his biggest admirers at the Valspar Championship over the weekend ... when he signed a female fan's boob -- and it was all caught on video!!!

The hilarious moment went down as social media influencer/OnlyFans model Karin Hart attended the event in Florida ... when she explained on her Instagram story she wanted the two-time major championship winner to autograph her chest.

Hart's big opportunity came about an hour later when JT was signing items for fans ... and she pleaded with the golf star to fulfill her wish.

"Yeah, baby, come on ... sign it, sign it!" Hart said with a big smile on her face. As it turns out, JT was down to grant her wish ... 'cause after some initial hesitation and laughter, he signed her chest!!! (By the looks of it, this may have been a first for JT).

Hart was over the moon about the interaction ... later saying it made her year.

Taylor Swift's Eras tour is already bringing people together ... until death, in the case of 2 of her fans ... who used her concert as the backdrop for their wedding!!!

The ceremony went down Saturday night while Taylor was performing the second of 2 shows at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ -- aka Swift City -- with the bride, Rene Hurtado, and groom, Max, saying "I do" from their floor seats.

Rene, who was wearing a tea-length wedding dress, says she and Max had been talking since the summer about eloping the day of Taylor's concert and then having the show serve as their wedding reception ... but they ultimately decided it would be cooler to actually get hitched at the concert.

Proposals have become a semi-regular occurrence at concerts and sporting events over the years ... but it's not every day you see an actual wedding in the middle of a show.

No word if Rene and Max are planning to hit up another Taylor concert for their honeymoon.

One dude crossed the finish line in this year's L.A. Marathon with a pretty impressive feat, but he wasn't on a runner's high -- he was just high.

Podcast host Adam Ill took to the streets of Los Angeles with over 22,000 others Sunday morning ... but, we're guessing he was one of only a few smoking joints while on the 6-hour jog.

Adam documented a good portion of his trek, but he was mostly showing off his HIGHlights.

He didn't set any time records, coming in 954th out of 1,163 men in his age range -- but he was live on Twitch during his run and mentioned it was all going down on his birthday. One hell of a way to kick off another trip around the sun.

For those unaware, Adam calls himself "The Highest Host" and a cannabis celebrity ... and he hosts 'The OG Potcast', one of the longest-running Mary Jane-themed podcasts.

It's a lock he lit up more than birthday candles to celebrate finishing the marathon!!!

Steven Spielberg says the U.S. government is hiding info about UFOs from you and everyone else in the country.

The 'E.T.' director was blunt on 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert ... "I think the secrecy that is shrouding all of these sightings and the lack of transparency until the Freedom of Information Act compels certain materials to be released publicly, I think that there is something going on that simply needs extraordinary due diligence.”

SS is clearly intrigued by all the sightings, including the Pentagon's conclusion that it cannot explain more than 100 UFOs -- "I think what has been coming out recently is fascinating — just absolutely fascinating. I would like to hear more about it. I don’t know what they are."

Spielberg thinks there's something in the air for sure, and the government is hiding info from us.

Aaron Rodgers encountered plenty of issues while in isolation last week, but poopin' wasn't one of them ... the quarterback revealed Wednesday his dumps in the dark were "very, very smooth."

Apparently, that's not always the case on the four-night, no-light retreat ... because Aubrey Marcus said while with Rodgers on the latest episode of the "Aubrey Marcus Podcast," he struggled to know when it was time to finish wiping -- creating a pretty crappy situation.

But, when Rodgers opened up to Marcus about his own potty breaks -- he said he had no such problems.

"My dumps were super smooth," the quarterback said.

The Green Bay Packers star explained his diet -- which consisted mostly of giant salads -- created an ideal situation for being in a restroom without light.

"In my mind," he said, "they were all two-wipers. They were two-wipers and done."

He added, "There were multiple, though, that I didn't even think I needed a wipe."

As for Rodgers' real concerns on his trip -- his football future and potential retirement -- he said those topics required far more attention.

The 39-year-old said he spent a full day thinking about what life would be like if he retired. Then, he said, he spent the entire next day dreaming of how life would be if he continued playing.

He ultimately didn't come to a decision while away from human touch and light ... but he did say he now is going to feel way more at peace with whatever choice he ultimately makes.

A buck-naked man gave drivers a free peep show on a Texas highway ... and the bizarre incident was partly caught on video.

Check out this footage, obtained by TMZ, showing the mystery man -- in the buff -- running along the shoulder of Central Expressway in Dallas on Friday afternoon.

We're told another man dressed in a suit was chasing after him, but you can't see the second guy in the clip. That man apparently turned around at some point and went back the other way.

We don't know what happened to the streaker ... witnesses tell us they lost track of him as they drove down the highway.

TMZ reached out to a rep for Dallas PD, but she said cops never received a 911 call so they didn't respond.

A Disneyland superfan has etched his name in the Guinness Book of World Records -- by visiting the house of mouse nearly 3,000 times in a ROW!

50-year-old Jeff Reitz made his mark by hitting up the Anaheim resort a whopping 2,995 times consecutively, starting back in 2012 ... adding up to a total of 8 years, 3 months, and 13 days.

The Huntington Beach local and Disney fan told Guinness the idea started as a joke a decade ago when the park announced it would be holding a 24-hour event on Leap Day ... making it possible for him to spend 366 days at the park starting in 2012.

Clearly, it evolved from just a joke, though -- suddenly Jeff started picking up steam as the days went by, getting contacted by newspapers and radio stations to tell his story. He was even given a gift basket and declared an honorary citizen of the park after his first 366 days.

Jeff was hoping to reach the big 3K milestone, but his run was cut short in March 2020 when the park was shut down due to COVID restrictions ... but it's an accomplishment he's incredibly proud of nonetheless.

FYI -- Jeff quickly became a bit of a celeb in the parks, with other Disney fans and even cast members wanting to take photos and meet the guy.

Gotta admit you know you've made it when Chewbacca wants YOUR autograph. Congrats Jeff!

The retirement community where 85-year-old Gloria Serge was killed by an alligator had a reptile clear-out, TMZ has learned ... getting rid of any more potential threats to residents.

Judy Murray, the next-door neighbor of Gloria, tells TMZ ... the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was in her backyard Thursday, and told her they were removing all gators from the community's lakes.

She tells us there are about 5-6 lakes at the Spanish Lakes Fairways in Fort Pierce, but isn't sure what the department's doing with all the alligators after their removal.

Judy mentions she wasn't afraid of the reptiles, and still isn't ... adding they'd normally just lay on the bank. She tells us what happened with Gloria was horrible ... saying she might've been having a "senior moment," as she normally wouldn't walk her dog along the water.

FYI -- Judy says Gloria's family took the dog with them after her passing, and it's now living up north.
