Bob Barker Rushed to the Hospital Again ... For Severe Back Pain

Published | Updated

Bob Barker was rushed to the hospital for the second time in 2 months, but it sounds like it's another case of a bad back ... TMZ has learned.

The former "Price is Right" host was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital by ambulance Sunday afternoon after suffering severe back pain at his Hollywood Hills home.

His manager tells us Bob is doing better now that he's under a doctor's care, and that this most recent hospitalization comes as a result of severe back pain related to his 2017 fall. He's fallen at least one other time before -- a 2015 spill that split his head open.

We broke the story ... Bob was rushed to the ER this past October under similar circumstances. The 94-year-old was wheeled inside on a stretcher but seemed responsive.

'L&HH' Star Lyrica Anderson My Maternity Shoot After Deading Safaree Cheating Rumor

Published | Updated

'Love & Hip Hop' star Lyrica Anderson finally put a monster rumor to rest over whose baby she's carrying, and now ... she's ready to spill the rest of the tea(l) with mommy shots.

Here are Lyrica's first maternity photos after a rough season of 'L&HH: Hollywood' -- where she faced accusations of cheating on her husband, A1, with Nicki Minaj's ex, Safaree Samuels. A1 and his immediate fam demanded a very-preggo Lyrica take a paternity test, which was revealed in last week's reunion episode. Turns out ... A1 IS the father. OHHHH!

Safaree doubled down during the reunion episode, denying he'd ever slept with Lyrica ... despite seemingly admitting to Ray J earlier in the season that they had, in fact, smashed. Those words never actually came out of Safaree's mouth, but he let Ray put 'em there for him without protest.

Lyrica and A1's kid -- who's been dubbed Baby Bentley -- is due at the end of the month.

Congrats to the parents-to-be!!!

Condoleezza Rice I'm Not Ready to Coach the Browns ... But, I Will Say This

Published | Updated

The Cleveland Browns are reportedly mulling over interviewing George W. Bush's former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, for a head coaching job ... but she says she's not quite there yet.

ESPN reported Sunday that the Browns' front office was interested in possibly bringing Condi for an interview to replace recently-fired head coach Hue Jackson. She's a huge Browns fan, and met with some of the owners during a game earlier this year.

Aside from that though ... it's unclear what, if any, professional experience she'd bring to the table ... when it comes to football, that is. She's got a pretty decent resume, otherwise.

The Browns' general manager, John Dorsey, issued a statement shortly after the news spread like wildfire, saying in part ... "Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is a great leader, possesses the highest possible character and also happens to be a Browns fan."

He fully shot down the speculation, though, by adding ... "Our coaching search will be thorough and deliberate, but we are still in the process of composing the list of candidates and Secretary Rice has not been discussed."

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Post.

As for Ms. Rice ... she offered her own statement on the rumor, saying "I love my Browns -- and I know they will hire an experienced coach to take us to the next level."

After going on to advocate for the hiring of more women in coaching positions, she seemed to shut down the notion of a head coaching gig by saying ... "BTW -- I'm not ready to coach but I would like to call a play or two next season if the Browns need ideas! And at no time will I call for a "prevent defense."

Sounds like she's NOT saying no to another role in the organization. From Dubya ... to Dawg Pound??? Maybe ...

Diddy Breaks Silence on Kim Porter ... Quincy Does As Well

Published | Updated

11/19 -- Diddy continued his tribute to Kim with a slideshow of the 2 of them and their kids, writing, "I'll raise our family just like you taught me to. Love you forever!!!"

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

2:12 PM PT -- Kim's son, Quincy, just posted a message about his late mother, saying ... "I am broken...& the only thing that makes sense right now is that you were way too good for this silly world we live in. I love you so much MOMMY. Please give Mee-Maw the biggest hug and kiss for me."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Quincy is Kim's son from her relationship with Al B. Sure. Diddy took him in as his own at a young age. He's the first child of Kim's to address her death.

Diddy just addressed the tragic death of Kim Porter for the first time with a touching video and message about the mother of his children ... this almost immediately after he took an incredibly solemn-looking walk in public.

The Bad Boy honcho posted the tribute Sunday on Instagram, which shows him and Kim doing a maternity photo shoot with Essence magazine in December 2006 ... as he cradles a then-pregnant Kim, and they share kisses between shots.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

He captioned the video with a somber message that read ... "For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby."

Diddy continued ... "I miss you so much. Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love."

His tribute came after paps caught him taking a stroll through Westwood Village, where he was wearing his heartbreak on his face. Sad is an understatement ... Diddy looks absolutely devastated here.

We broke the story ... Kim was found dead at her home Thursday from complications stemming from either pneumonia or the flu. She birthed 3 of Diddy's children -- D'Lila, Jessie James and Christian. She was pregnant with D'Lila and Jessie during this shoot.

Kevin Hart & Torrei Hart Hendrix's Fortnite-Themed Party ... For 11th Birthday

Published | Updated

The Harts pulled out all the stops for their son's 11th birthday -- 'cause Kevin and his ex-wife, Torrei, threw the kid a SICK party that was worthy of pretty much all the Fortnite dances.

Hendrix Hart was treated to a full-blown Fortnite party Saturday to celebrate the big 1-1, which his folks aptly called "Hartnite Birthday Royale." They might as well have been in the digital fray themselves because Kevin's studio near L.A. got fully decked out to reflect the game.

We're told Torrei was behind a majority of the planning for the shindig, and that she used bDASHd Events to bring the place to life ... or "heals," if that's more your speed. Torrei's brand manager, KD McNair, tells us Kevin was super impressed with the set-up ... and the whole fam had a great time together -- including their daughter, Heaven, and his current wife, Eniko.

Kevin and Torrei are no strangers to epic birthday parties for their kids. They did a video game blowout a couple years back for Hendrix, and a "Black Panther"-themed bash last year for Heaven.

Repeat after us, kids ... THANK YOU, MOM AND DAD.

Travis Scott Surprise Delivery for Post Malone ... Astroworld Chick-fil-A!!

Published | Updated

Post Malone didn't have to lift a finger to eat well during his time at Travis Scott's Astroworld Fest, 'cause his host took care of him and then some with lots o' chicken.

Trav surprised Post Saturday with a huge Postmates delivery of Chick-fil-A and a group of hot Houston Rockets cheerleaders, all of which was waiting for the "rockstar" rapper in his trailer.

As far as what grub was on the menu, we're told it was a pretty simple order ... trays of well-done chicken tenders with 160 ounces of Buffalo sauce and 6 gallons of sweet tea. That's some good eatin'!!!

Post is no stranger to Postmates, BTW. In fact, they kinda love the guy on account of how much he drops on their delivery service. He spent upwards of $8,000 last year to bring 10,000 of Popeye's biscuits to his Coachella set for folks to eat and dropped more than $40k over the last year with them to become a star customer.

Unclear who footed the bill this time around, but something tells us it very well might've been on the house. It's the least Postmates can do, really.

Race Car Driver Sophia Floersch Fractures Spine in Horrific Crash ... At Macau Grand Prix

Published | Updated

Sophia Floersch -- a German Formula 3 driver -- survived a terrifying crash during a race in China that easily could've killed her ... but left her with a fractured spine instead.

The 17-year-old was racing in the Macau Grand Prix Sunday when she reportedly collided with another driver, lost control on a sharp right turn, flew right through some crash barriers and landed in a photographer area. The accident is as bad as it sounds ... listen to the crowd scream in shock as her car gets airborne and smacks against a fence.

Incredibly, Sophia's racing team said she was conscious and stable, but had suffered a spinal fracture. They also listed her as "not fit to race," but did not say for how long. At least 3 others were also injured in the crash, including 2 photogs and the other driver.

Sophia later tweeted that she was "fine," and was going into surgery Monday morning. She added that she'd be providing updates soon.

Take care, kid.

Angelina Jolie Custody's a Dog Walk in the Park ... When I'm With My Kiddos

Published | Updated

Angelina Jolie doesn't seem to be sweating her looming custody trial with Brad Pitt, at least not when she's with her kids ... or some of them, anyway.

Angie was hanging out with three of her children Sunday in Los Feliz -- where she, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox took their pup for a stroll around the block ... with Shiloh leading the way.

No sign of Maddox, Zahara or Pax here -- the older 3 of the bunch -- but there were certainly no faces of distress on display within the dog-walking group ... in fact, it was nothing but smiles as far as we can see. Even the pooch seemed to be in good spirits.

The happy family outing comes amid a much darker backdrop -- Angelina and Brad are heading to court to decide whether Angie gets sole physical custody of the 6 kids, or if it'll be a 50/50 split ... like Brad wants. Their custody trial is set to begin on Dec. 4, which we're told could take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks. The judge will sort it all out after that.

There's more to be decided in their bitter divorce -- like property settlement -- which could get ugly considering Brangelina didn't have a prenup when they got hitched.

Mexican Singer Paulina Rubio 'We Love You, Donald Trump' ... Flip-Flopping At Women's Empowerment Concert?

Published | Updated

Paulina Rubio threw many fans for a loop at a concert for women when she blurted out "We love you, Donald Trump" -- but it appears to have been purely for literary effect.

The Mexican pop star was performing Saturday in L.A. during the 'K-Love Live: Las Que Mandan' concert when, at one point, she coupled her shout-outs to women with a seemingly random plug for the President ... which got a lot of boos from the crowd.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The lines about Trump didn't have much context, but in an interview after the show ... Paulina seemed to imply her "love" for Trump was nothing but sarcasm and an attempt at irony. When the host asks her if she had a message for 45, Paulina says (in Spanish) that Hispanics have been here long before DT became the Prez, and that her mom had told her she wasn't going anywhere in the Trump times. Translation ... she's not team MAGA.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.

Besides, Paulina's been quoted many times bashing President Trump, calling him a "pendejo" among other insults. So, it's unlikely she'd do a hard flip-flop in such a public way ... or so it seems, anyway.

We've reached out to her camp for further elaboration, but they had no comment.

Travis Scott Shout-Out to My 'Wife' Kylie ... Day Before Mayor Declares 'Astroworld Day'

Published | Updated

2:33 PM PT -- The Mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, just declared November 18 as "Astroworld Day" in an official proclamation to honor Travis and what he contributes to the city's arts, community, and in celebration of his latest album.

Mayor Turner held a ceremony Sunday at City Hall to make the announcement, and Trav himself took to the podium to reminisce on the real Astroworld, and to thank his hometown while encouraging it to embrace the arts as a foundational pillar for the youth.

Needless to say, Astroworld Fest was a success.

Travis Scott is at the top of his game, kinda like Justin Bieber. Is he also secretly married, like Justin Bieber?

Travis gave a shout out to Kylie Jenner in Houston Saturday night during his Astroworld Fest concert, and he referred to her as "my beautiful wife." That doesn't necessarily mean they're hitched, but then again it doesn't mean they're not.

Kylie and 9-month-old Stormi joined thousands at the Astroworld Amusement Park for Travis' set.

Check out the crowd ... far as the eye can see.

Kylie also posted pictures of Travis and Stormi on Instagram Saturday night with the caption, "only the people around you really know how hard you work. i love to watch you make all your dreams come true."

He commented back, "I love u wifey."

Casey Anthony I'm At Dollar Tree with RBG

Published | Updated

Casey Anthony feels a connection to, of all people, United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ... seriously.

Anthony picked up a few things at a Dollar Tree Saturday in West Palm Beach, Florida. Check out her T -- a pic of RGB with the words, "Fight for the things you care about." She's been living in South Florida for years. Her life seems lowkey and pretty normal.

David Arquette I'm Done with Deathmatches ... Hints at UFC Fight

Published | Updated

David Arquette vows his incredibly bloody deathmatch was his last, but he's never going to take his foot off the gas.

We got David Saturday in L.A. ... a day after his brutal Game Changer Wrestling fight against Nick FN Gage. David kinda looked worse for wear, after Nick smashed a light tube against his face. Check out the huge scab on the side of his neck.

BLOODY BUT UNBOWED

So, David says -- we're not sure if he's serious -- the only rematch he'll have with Nick will be in a UFC Octagon.

As for David just sitting back and becoming a spectator in life ... well, he scoffed at the notion. He's always been a fighter and never a couch potato.

David's 47 ... just amazing.

Chris Cornell Son Stars in Emotional Tribute Video

Published | Updated

Chris Cornell's son stepped into his late father's shoes in the emotional new music video for "When Bad Does Good," the posthumous title track off the newly released box set that spans Chris's entire career.

Christopher Cornell, Chris's son, plays a paperboy on his route in Seattle, a job his father once held. Along his route, he passes different locations associated with his father's career including the iconic Sub Pop Records, Soundgarden's early record label. Famous lyrics from Chris are also on display throughout the city.

Christopher Cornell says, “For me this video represents my dad and all the art he created throughout his life and what his music meant then and what it means now, not just to me and my family but the city of Seattle and all of his fans.”

Vicky Cornell is currently suing Chris's doctor for malpractice, claiming he supplied Chris with the drugs that lead to his suicide back in May while knowing that Chris was an addiction-prone individual.

SUPERSTAR STATUS

Beto O'Rourke doesn't buy the criticism of Beyonce -- that she waited too long to throw her support behind him in the Texas Senatorial election -- to the contrary, he says it's hard to find anything from Houston more impressive than her.

We got Beto on Capitol Hill, and he can't say enough about Bey ... can't say enough because he's interrupted by a slew of fans who went nuts when they saw him.

As for Beyonce, some of Beto's supporters think it was too little, too late throwing her support behind him on the day of the election.

Gotta say ... he's about as genuine as they come -- unspotted by the ever-present phoniness of politics.

The video's fun to watch.

Travis Scott Blasting Off Into Jewelry Biz ... With 'Astroworld' Bling

Published | Updated

Travis Scott is shooting for the stars in search of new revenue streams ... because we've learned he's trying to lock up the rights to more space-themed merch.

The rapper recently filed paperwork to clear the path for him to slap "Astroworld" all over a wide variety of jewelry and accessories. It's an obvious move to cash in on the title of his hit album and recently-announced music festival.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Travis has astronomic plans to produce "Astroworld" branded jewelry, clocks, watches, key chains, jewelry cases and even dog chains. C'mon ... your Astro would love that, right?

It's the next giant leap after we reported his plans to trademark "S.P.A.C.E," "S.P.A.C.E 1991" and "S.P.A.C.E 2001" for use on clothing, cosmetics, fragrances and an online retail store.

Seems Travis still has his heart set on cashing in on the final frontier.
