You know that viral photo of Justin Bieber eating a burrito from the side? Yeah ... that was fake news, courtesy of the same guys who got Will Smith to jump into the Grand Canyon.

As it turns out, this pic of "Justin" that made the Internet go crazy this past week is a complete farce staged by the YouTube group, Yes Theory ... which they meticulously documented and broke down in an explainer vid posted to their channel Sunday.

It's crazy ... seemingly every major news outlet picked up the story of what appeared to be JB eating a burrito by himself in the park ... biting it from the side, like corn on the cob. Everyone thought it was weird as hell and roasted the pop star for it.

And, get this -- it wasn't even Justin in the photo ... it was a dead-on doppelganger (who's also from Canada) named Brad Sousa. They dressed him up in some Bieber-esque clothes, and voila ... instant viral fame achieved.

9:00 AM PT -- We just got these photos of Ronnie and Jen all over each other during her birthday weekend. The co-dependent couple is clearly back together, despite the domestic violence.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley seem like they're together again, despite black eyes and police reports.

Ronnie and Jen are both in Florida this weekend, and both have both posted videos though none of them show the 2 together. This is Jen's birthday weekend.

As you know ... their relationship has been downright violent at times. She showed up last week at his home, demanding to see their daughter ... just days after Ronnie posted a pic of a shiner around his eye.

George Clooney and Rande Gerber hosted a wild Vegas Halloween party Saturday night, which began with the 2 men at the controls of a jet that flew partygoers from L.A. to Sin City.

The guys took over Catch Las Vegas and converted the space into a full-on Casamigos experience ... black brick walls, black sparkle Casamigos Tequila glitter barrels ... the works.

The trip up to Vegas looked like an experience as well ... with Cindy Crawford as the space waitress serving drinks.

As for the Vegas party ... lots of stars, including Kendall Jenner, Austin Stowell, Joey Fatone, Jermaine Dupri, JB Smoove, Wolfgang Puck, Karolina Kurkova, Marlon Wayans and Steve Aoki. Catch owners Mark Birnbaum and Eugene Remm were also in attendance.

Scott Disick joined Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, his daughter Penelope, and North on a family trip to Bali.

Scott's chillin' on the yacht ... with no Kardashian in sight, but he don't care.

Kourtney was hanging with Penelope a lot ... but no Scott in sight.

Scott going on vacay with the Klan is a clear sign of peace ... despite the fact there is little interaction, at least in the photos.

North West was also on board ... who had lots of playtime with Penelope. Kim, Khloe, and True are also on the yacht ... and although we don't see it, we're going to bet the farm that cameras are recording the trip for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Sharon Osbourne reluctantly agrees with Donald Trump ... that we need armed security at Synagogues.

Sharon and Ozzy were leaving Mr. Chow in Bev Hills Saturday night, when our photog asked about Trump's opinion that arming potential victims is the solution.

We also asked Sharon what she thought of the President of the United States tweeting about last night's World Series game in the wake of the Pittsburgh massacre ... which is both unbelievable and predictable.

The shooting that left a hole in the stomach of a Tekashi69 crew member was triggered by threats of gun violence and death ... threats coming from the rapper's own muscle.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Tekashi's crew tried to bully its way into the NYC restaurant where 6ix9ine was supposed to meet with a record exec. The rapper's security was turned away and threatened to shoot the men who wouldn't let them in.

We're told Tekashi was meeting record exec Elliot Grainge for dinner. Elliot was waiting for Tekashi at the restaurant with his two bodyguards, retired NYPD detective Efrain Vasquez and Maurice Fernandez.

When Tekashi arrived with his 7-person entourage, a fight broke out after Fernandez told Tekashi's crew they weren't welcome. 6ix9ine then called off the meeting and left.

Some of Tekashi's crew stayed behind and for some reason insisted on entering. One of the men allegedly shouted, "F*** this, I'm getting inside!"

Fernandez texted Vasquez -- who was inside -- telling him Tekashi's men were trying to force their way in and feared they had guns.

Vasquez charged outside to back up Fernandez, and then Tekashi's crew member, Shottie, allegedly threatened them, saying, "I'm going to violate you both with gunshots."

One of the men in 6ix9ine's group then allegedly yelled, "Shoot these motherf***ers! Gunfire!"

One of Tekashi's associates allegedly struck Vasquez in the head with a chair ... and two witnesses said Shottie was the man wielding the furniture.

Vasquez saw one of Tekashi's guys pull up his shirt and reach for something in his waistband ... that's when Vasquez brandished his gun, firing 2 rounds and hitting one of Tekashi's crew in the stomach.

Everyone scattered after gunfire erupted, but police tracked down and arrested 2 of the 3 Tekashi associates allegedly involved in the melee ... Faheem "Crippie" Walter and Zachary Bunce.

Shottie -- real name Kifano Jordan -- has not been apprehended.

Lance Lazzaro, the criminal defense attorney who reps Tekashi, Shottie and the 2 men, tells TMZ ... "It is my understanding that Tekashi was not present when the incident occurred. Shottie has no involvement with any criminal act. The two other men were victims of an assault. The charges will be completely dismissed at some point against them both."

Oscar De La Hoya loves his girlfriend sooooo much ... he rented out an entire bar and threw a kick-ass party for her birthday ... and TMZ Sports has the vid!!

Sources tell us the Golden Boy booked the White Horse in Pasadena last weekend for Anna Valencia's 30th ... decking the place out in a casino theme, complete with blackjack tables and chips featuring her face!!

We're told the boxing champ footed the entire bill for the night (even the open bar) -- which he can definitely afford after putting together the largest contract in the history of pro sports.

Remember, it was Golden Boy that negotiated Canelo Alvarez's $365 MILLION fight contract with DAZN ... in which Canelo will take 11 fights over 5 years. Oscar's cut has gotta be pretty sweet.

As for Valencia, she's a model and an actress ... and has even done work with Golden Boy Promotions as an on-camera reporter.

The couple has been dating since earlier this year ... and by the looks of it, they couldn't be happier.

Happy birthday!!

XXXTentacion's brutal murder should carry more weight than his confession to hitting an ex-GF, and everyone needs to forgive and forget his numerous mistakes ... so says Mally Mall.

We got Mally Friday in L.A. and asked him about promoting XXXTentacion's music after prosecutors released audio this week of X apparently talking about stabbing multiple people and hitting his then-girlfriend.

It's a personal issue for Mally, who produced the newly released collab between XXXTentacion and Lil Pump, "Arms Around You." He says people should respect the fact the slain rapper can't defend himself from the grave. Not to mention respecting his mourning mother, Cleo.

As we reported ... XXXTentacion was secretly recorded years ago apparently confessing to stabbing 9 people and beating his ex so badly she was scared to death. The Miami-Dade County state attorney's office released the audio, which they were planning to use in his pending domestic violence trial.

A terrifying gun threat made against Lil Xan earlier this month -- that triggered a concert cancellation -- is now the subject of a criminal investigation ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops are investigating a series of threats made against Xan earlier this month. We're told it centers around videos and photos posted by St. Louis rapper VladHQ that show him with multiple firearms and calling out Xan.

One disturbing video shows Vlad spraying bullets into a lake, calling Xan a "bitch" and asking for "smoke" at his scheduled Oct. 10 concert at The Pageant.

He also posted a photo of himself with what appear to be three AK-47s, with a caption that read ... "hi Lil Xan see ya later at your show."

Like we told you ... Xan went on to cancel his St. Louis show after the images surfaced, which police are clearly taking seriously.

Our sources say no arrests have been made, nor have any warrants been issued.

Halloween in Hollywood means everyone is dressed to impress ... but it's up to you to decide which famous look takes the costume crown!

Antonio Sabato Jr. is limping to the finish line as the midterm elections approach ... because we've learned the former soap star's congressional campaign is dealing with tons of financial issues.

We dug through Federal Election Commission filings and discovered, since the start of last year, Antonio's campaign in California raised only $312,906.34 ... and Antonio has burned through most of the cash with less than two weeks until Election Day, because he's only got about $40k in his coffers.

Making matters worse for Antonio, we've discovered his campaign has over $44k in debts and loans ... meaning, the Republican candidate is taking this red thing way too seriously.

The bad news for Antonio keeps coming ... he and his election committee are being sued by a political consulting firm, which claims Antonio owes them over $34k. We're told Antonio personally signed the contract with the firm.

Antonio's funding is lagging far behind Democratic opponent Julia Brownley ... during the same period, she's raised more than $2.4 million and spent around $1.3 million.

We'll spare you the math headaches ... Antonio's opponent raised over $2 million more and outspent him by over $1 million.

The TMZ newsroom got slammed with your freaky photos for our Pet Costume Photo Gallery, and now's your chance to see who made the creepy cut!

We've collected a bunch of your dressed up pets like cops, ghosts, witches and even real housewives for your Halloween viewing pleasure.

Donald Trump is now a World Series baseball analyst -- blaming Dodgers manger Dave Roberts for making a stupid decision that probably cost L.A. the game.

Trump's beef is about Roberts pulling starting pitcher Rich Hill in the 7th inning -- despite the fact L.A. was up 4-0 at the time and he was throwing a pretty solid game. A few batters after Hill left, Boston's Mitch Moreland hit a 3 run homer off a relief pitcher. The Sox eventually won 9-6.

But even before Game 4 of the Series ended, Trump was pointing the finger at Roberts.

"Watching the Dodgers/Red Sox final innings," Trump posted on Twitter.

"It is amazing how a manager takes out a pitcher who is loose & dominating through almost 7 innings, Rich Hill of Dodgers, and brings in nervous reliever(s) who get shellacked."

"4 run lead gone. Managers do it all the time, big mistake!"

Tekashi69 is making the most of his new lease on life, celebrating his daughter's birthday only hours after avoiding jail time in his child sex case.

Tekashi is digging his newfound freedom ... and thanking God for allowing him to be there for Saraiyah's 3rd bday.

Tekashi and baby mama Sara went with a unicorm theme for the bday bash, and the proud daddy looked thrilled to be spending some quality time with his fam. He's definitely got reason to celebrate.

As we reported ... 6ix9ine got a huge break Friday in his child sex case, getting off with 4 years probation ... which is exactly what the rapper's team was hoping for.

It was an eventful day all around for Tekashi ... after his sentencing, gunfire erupted at his dinner meeting at a restaurant in midtown NYC, and one of his bodyguards was hospitalized with a gunshot wound.

3:35 PM PT -- The Anti-Defamation League says the shooting is believed to be the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in U.S. history.

2:40 PM PT -- U.S. Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, issued a statement, saying in part: "Hatred and violence on the basis of religion can have no place in our society. These alleged crimes are reprehensible and utterly repugnant to the values of this nation. Accordingly, the Department of Justice will file hate crimes and other criminal charges against the defendant, including charges that could lead to the death penalty."

2:20 PM PT -- Officials say 3 handguns and an assault rifle were found at the scene, and the suspect, Robert Bowers, is in fair condition with multiple gunshot wounds.

The shooter is reportedly a member of Gab, an alternative social media site frequented by white supremacists.

10:00 AM PT -- Donald Trump just said the shooting could have been prevented if someone inside the temple had a gun. He then weirdly talks about the death penalty, as if that might have prevented the shooting.

A gunman opened fire at a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh during a prayer service, 4 people are confirmed dead, and this was clearly an anti-Semitic attack.

The shooter entered the Tree of Life Congregation and began spraying bullets. According to cops, the shooter came with an AR-15 and said, "All Jews need to die."

When cops arrived, the shooter began firing at them. According to CNN, at least 3 cops have been shot.

Authorities believe as many as 8 people from the synagogue might be dead, and at least 12 have been shot.

Carnegie Mellon University, which is near the temple, is on lockdown.

Authorities have the shooter in custody.

Actor Kobie "DJ K-LUV" Randolph says he was attacked at George Clooney's Halloween party, and depending on who you believe ... Brandi Glanville either broke it up or attacked him.

Randolph told cops Brandi was with a woman with whom he had a past relationship. He claims the woman attacked him, punching him in the face and splitting his lip.

Brandi told cops she broke up the fight, but he says she was one of the perps who attacked him.

Randolph also claims the 2 women attacked him with "12 uppercuts like I'm in a boxing match." He also complained no one at the party came to his rescue.
