Colombia’s national police were in for a hair-raising shock when they busted a man trying to board a plane wearing a "Narco wig" -- a disguise hiding $42 million Colombian Pesos -- about 10K USD -- worth of illicit goods.

The unnamed 40-year-old man, hailing from Colombia's Coffee Region, got snagged by authorities just before boarding his flight to Amsterdam at Cartagena's Rafael Núñez International Airport -- after a security scanner exposed nine cocaine capsules cleverly camouflaged beneath a synthetic thick black wig.

Don’t believe it? Well, there’s video proof of authorities thwarting his criminal scheme -- carefully snipping away at the wig to reveal all the cocaine stashed underneath.

Philadelphia Eagles Down To Visit White House ... If Invited

Published | Updated

UPDATE

3:00 PM PT -- It turns out the Eagles have no beef with No. 47 after all --  with NFL insiders reporting the champs would be "honored" to visit the White House.

As NFL Network's Ian Rapoport put it ... the team is "excited about" the possibility and "look forward" to getting the invitation.

Ball's in your court, Prez!!

The Philadelphia Eagles have not formally rejected a visit to the White House ... that's because an invitation hasn't been extended yet, TMZ Sports has learned.

Reports that were published prior to the Super Bowl resurfaced over the weekend ... which stated if Jalen Hurts and Co. came out victorious against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9, they would not be making a trip to 1600 Penn to celebrate.

POTUS PUCKERS UP...

Donald Trump gnawing on Elon Musk's toes in an A.I. video is making the rounds online ... and now it's even hit at least one government building -- and TMZ's learned the culprits behind the viral screening are being threatened with some real-life consequences.

We can see the toe-curling video playing in the halls of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development building in Washington, D.C. after hackers apparently hijacked the TVs -- complete with the bold caption, "Long Live The Real King."

Megan Thee Stallion My Lawyers Wanna Grill Tory Behind Bars!!!

Published | Updated

UPDATE

3:28 PM PT -- Ceasar McDowell, CEO of Unite the People, the nonprofit law firm that reps Tory Lanez, tells TMZ ... "If you know Tory Lanez how I do, good luck trying to get him to 'testify' to anything, it's just not what he does ... and he definitely did not 'agree' to testify now."

McDowell points out Lanez "is not a party" to Megan Thee Stallion's lawsuit against Milagro Cooper, a client of Unite the People ... so UTP isn't obligated to make Tory available for a deposition.

Tory Lanez is about to get visitors in prison, but it won't be the warm and fuzzy kind, because it's Megan Thee Stallion's attorneys who will be knocking at his cell.

Megan's attorney filed docs asking a judge to approve her lawyers taking a deposition from Tory as they investigate a defamation and cyberstalking case. As we reported, Megan is suing blogger Milagro Cooper for an alleged online campaign to spread misinformation about Megan in the wake of Tory's conviction for shooting her.

According to the docs, Tory's down to chat -- under oath, mind you -- with her attorneys, because he's not opposing the motion to depose him. MTS just needs the judge to sign off, and then they'll work out a date.

CONSIDERING ALL EVIDENCE
TMZ.com

L.A. County D.A. Nathan Hochman says he will consider evidence of sexual abuse at the hands of Jose Menendez when Erik and Lyle Menendez make their case for resentencing.

Hochman appeared Monday on "TMZ Live," and acknowledged the laws of government resentencing allow a judge to consider "psychological, physical, or childhood trauma, including ... abuse, neglect, exploitation, or sexual violence."

Hochman was adamant ... sexual abuse in no way calls Erik and Lyle's conviction into question, but it will come into play next month when the brothers ask a judge to resentence them to something less than life without parole -- which opens the door to a parole board freeing them.
