Jerry O’Connell might want to join a biker gang ... because trying to rent a bicycle sure as hell ain't working!!!
This is the funniest clip you'll see all day ... Jerry's in the middle of Manhattan trying to use a bike-sharing program, but his credit card keeps getting REJECTED!
Jerry admits it's SUPER EMBARRASSING ... and he keeps swiping and swiping ... but no dice.
It's hilarious ... Jerry makes a crack about his awful credit score, and then dips into his wallet to fish out his mom's debit card. Still nothing doing. Side note: Who carries their mom's debit card?!?
Anyway, seems the Citi Bike machine just didn't feel like working -- neither do we -- so it's not like Jerry's flat broke.
Pretty sure Jerry's got money in the bank ... dude's got his own talk show premiering Monday on FOX, and our guy asked who he's dying to interview. Hint: Jerry has royal aspirations.
And, don't sweat it ... he does eventually get a ride. The old-fashioned way.

El Paso Shooter Father is Therapist, Treats Shooting Victims ... Like Singer Eric Keyes

Exclusive
- 11.7K shares
Singer Eric Keyes says he was at a loss for words when he found his therapist -- who helped him battle PTSD after getting shot -- is the father of the El Paso gunman.
Eric was on "TMZ Live" to talk about the ironic twist. He told us he was in tears when he found out that his mental health counselor, Bryan Crusius, had to cancel a weekly appointment to deal with his own family tragedy after his son, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, gunned down 22 people inside a Walmart.
Eric, a Texas guitarist and singer, was shot in 2012 at point blank range when a gunman showed up at his house. He said he can't imagine what Bryan's going through, especially when tragedy hits so close to home.
Bryan's had Eric's back for some time now -- he started a GoFundMe campaign for the musician last October after the shooting left him with permanent injuries, like nerve damage in his left arm which meant he couldn't play guitar anymore.
Eric says Bryan helped him overcome his crippling PTSD, and now he just wants to help do the same for him.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin just planted their conscious uncoupling in the sand for a double date with their new partners ... and it looks pretty damn hot.
Gwyn and Chris recoupled in the Hamptons this week ... along with her screenwriter hubby, Brad Falchuk, and the Coldplay frontman's girlfriend, 'Fifty Shades' star Dakota Johnson.
The fab four found a spot together on the beach ... yukking it up while taking in the views.
Ya gotta check out the pics ... everyone looks super comfortable, with Chris and Brad ditching their shirts, Dakota and Gwyn chatting it up ... while Gwyneth rocks a super hot bikini.
There was even some mouth-on-mouth PDA between GP and her husband. The NEW one, that is.
We've seen Gwyn and Chris, who have been divorced for 3 years, kick it together before ... so it's nice to see them bringing their new mates into the fold.
This is kinda becoming a thing in Hollywood -- last year we saw Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry and Miranda Kerr chopping it up, while Chris Pratt and Anna Faris took their kid trick-or-treating with Katherine Schwarzenegger and Michael Barrett.
The trend started with Gwyneth and Chris ... and clearly they're still carrying the torch.

Snooki just ain't having it -- she's threatening to call it quits from shooting "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" after an argument that ended with her marching out of the house overnight.
Snooks was shooting with the rest of the cast at the 'Jersey Shore' house late Tuesday night, when all of a sudden she stormed out yelling at someone to stop talking to her.
In a neighbor's video from the incident -- obtained by TMZ -- Snooki's seen leaving the house while pleading to be left alone. She's heard yelling, "Leave me the f**k alone, this is why I didn't want to do this s**t. Leave me alone!"
She then calls someone a "f**king a**hole" and says she wants to go home to her kids where she belongs. Snooki's last heard saying "I hate this s**t" as she looks at her phone and storms off.
Worth noting, she just gave birth on May 30, so missing her kids makes sense.
One of the producers followed her, though, and we're told Snooki was taken to a donut shop around the corner to cool off. JWoww and Pauly D came out to talk to the crew and see what was going on, and we're told Pauly was heard saying ... "Well, that didn't go the way I expected."
Eventually, Snooki calmed down enough to return to the house, but as you can see in the vid ... she was still pretty worked up as JWoww and someone who looks like Angelina came out to talk and give her a hug.
There's also a camera guy in the mix ... so it looks like some of the drama was captured for TV.
Snooki and company are currently filming for season 3 of their spin-off show, 'Family Vacation.' Get your popcorn ready.

Ohgeesy Booted from Disneyland After Alleged Gun Threat

Shoreline Mafia member Ohgeesy didn't have the happiest time at Disneyland -- he got kicked out after an alleged gun threat was made by someone in his crew ... but he calls BS.
Disneyland sources who were present tell TMZ ... the rapper and his entourage were at the park in Anaheim Tuesday, and they were all in line for the Indiana Jones Adventure ride when it broke down.
We're told Ohgeesy's group got upset after waiting for about 15 minutes and decided to make their exit, but one guy was really irritated and allegedly threatened a ride worker. Our sources say the guy warned the employee not to mess with him because he had a gun.
Law enforcement sources tell us Disney's police and security were called and the guy was removed from the park. However, we're told by cops the threat was more along the lines of, "I'm going to go home and get my gun." Sources who were present at the ride, however, say the guy suggested he had a gun on him.
Shortly afterward, Ohgeesy and his entire crew went to guest services to demand refunds ... and were booted out of the park for what security felt was bad behavior.
All i did was try n take my son to disney, they talkin bout someone heard my boy say he got a gun and then wouldnt gimme a refund on like 2 bands worth of tix , theez mf’s cancelled , i was just as confused as this bitch
— OHGEESY (@OHGEESY) August 7, 2019 @OHGEESY
Ohgeesy shared his side of the situation on social media, saying he was just taking his son to Disney and "they talkin bout someone heard my boy say he got a gun and then wouldnt gimme a refund on like 2 bands worth of tix."
He also shared a video of himself accosting a female employee, calling her a bitch and telling her to shut up ... so it's not hard to see why he got kicked out.
The rapper also shared some additional video of Disney employees and park security seemingly standing in front of him and his group as they were removed from the park.
Law enforcement sources tell us the people in the party were ID'd and given trespass warnings on their way out of the park.

Colin Kaepernick is still busting his ass to get back in the NFL ... the ex-49ers superstar just posted a workout video -- and it's INTENSE.
The video shows Kap getting after it in the weight room -- there's push-ups, bench presses, rows, tricep pull-downs and dips ... the guy is CLEARLY still in fantastic shape.
And, with the NFL season starting ... it's obvious Kaepernick wants people to know that despite a settlement in his collusion case with the NFL -- he's still working to make a roster.
In fact, the video starts with the number 889 -- the amount of days Kaepernick says he has been "denied" a job in the league.
Of course, the 31-year-old last played in the NFL in 2016 when he was San Francisco's quarterback ... but he claims controversial kneeling protests during the national anthem forced him to be blackballed from the league.
By the way, Houston Texans backup quarterback AJ McCarron suffered a thumb injury this week and the team is reportedly looking to sign a quarterback for camp ASAP.
Clearly, Kap is hoping to get the call.

Monica Lewinsky Makes BJ Joke at Pence's Expense
Mike Pence wants everyone to get down on their knees, and Monica Lewinsky ain't biting.
Pence was asked about how he deals with criticism of him on the Internet. His answer was predicable -- prayer. The Vice President said, "Spend more time on your knees than on the internet."
Also predictable ... social media erupted with BJ jokes. For instance, a reporter tweeted, "OK, who's gonna tell him?" In other words, someone tell the old guy he's opening himself up to oral copulation barbs.
Monica got in on the fun, hilariously responding, "def not me" with a googly-eyed emoji.
People went nuts for the joke ... telling her she won the Internet. Good on Monica!
Speaking of Lewinsky, she just signed on to Ryan Murphy's new project, "Impeachment: American Crime Story." She'll be a producer on the series. Beanie Feldstein -- Jonah Hill's sister -- is going to play Monica.
Lewinsky is also a contributor to Vanity Fair and an anti-bullying activist.

NFL's Kendrick Norton Shows Amputated Arm Cleaning Process ... In Inspiring Video

Kendrick Norton -- the NFL player who lost most of his left arm in a horrific car crash -- wants to SHOW what life is like as an amputee ... and he's keeping it all the way real in an inspiring new video.
As we previously reported, Norton (a 7th-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft) was battling for a roster spot with the Miami Dolphins when he crashed his truck on July 4 with his girlfriend, Kira, in the vehicle.
Now, more than a month after the accident, the 22-year-old is showing his daily cleaning regimen -- and talking extremely candidly about how his life has changed.
The funniest part of the video (yes, he mixes in humor) is that he's nicknamed his left arm, "Little Kenny" ... and considers it a "mini-arm" instead of a total loss.
Kendrick says he refuses to cry about the accident and the subsequent loss of his NFL career -- explaining, "Ain't no point in crying every day and being sad and stuff. Still got stuff to be done."
The good news ... Kendrick says his other injuries (mostly road rash wounds) are healing nicely and doesn't seem to be in pain.
His girlfriend, Kira, says she suffered internal bleeding from the crash -- but insists she's doing well now.
Kendrick says some of his daily tasks take longer to perform due to his amputated arm -- and admits it's frustrating -- but his attitude is remarkably positive.
"Don't worry about me too much," Kendrick says ... noting he's going to be okay and he's not suicidal.
He even gave a message to some of his fellow amputees who are looking up to him as a role model ...
"Don't let what people say determine how you feel about yourself ... that's word to the wise for everybody."

Kylie Jenner Here Comes The Bride?!? Boards Plane With Travis and Wedding Dress, BUT ...
-
Exclusive
- 8.7K shares
Kylie Jenner just boarded a private plane to her birthday yacht party with a very interesting piece of luggage ... a garment that certainly looks like a WEDDING DRESS ... but TMZ knows otherwise.
Check out this pic from the tarmac Tuesday afternoon at the Van Nuys Airport ... there's a flowing, feathery, white dress protruding out the bottom of a garment bag as it's loaded into the plane. In the worker's other hand -- what appears to be a suit ... possibly a tux.
Don't cue the wedding bells just yet though ... several of our Kardashian-Jenner sources tell us Kylie's NOT walking down the aisle with Travis Scott.
Fact is ... Kylie is notorious for messing with people, and it seems odd she would leave the train to her wedding dress exposed, knowing full well there are paparazzi watching.
What's more ... multiple Kardashian-connected sources tell us, she's not getting married on the trip.
As we first reported ... Kylie is jetting off to Italy begin her 22nd birthday celebration, which is going down on the $250 million mega-yacht, "Tranquility."
Kylie boarded the plane with Travis and their baby Stormi, plus Kris Jenner, Scott Disick, Sofia Richie and Corey Gamble ... as well as her assistant, Victoria, and her friends Stassi Karanikolaou and Yris Palmer.
Noticeably absent on the flight -- Caitlyn Jenner and all of Kylie's sisters. Of course, Kourtney's been vacationing in Europe, and it seems she'll join the party at some point.
One source says it's definitely NOT a wedding because Kim and Khloe are not going to join on the trip.
You could argue ... Travis set the stage when he gifted Kylie a garden of rose petals Monday, covering the floor of her mansion. Travis wrote, "We're just getting started." She also got a $21,000 custom floral arrangement from La Fleur Bouquets inspired by the Kaws x Dior collab from her best friend Yris Palmer.
FYI ... Kylie and Travis have been together for a little over 2 years. Marriage is certainly in the cards ... just not on this trip, we're told.
Stay tuned ...

Robert Durst Wins Lawsuit Against Wife He Allegedly Murdered

Exclusive
- 1.3K shares
Robert Durst got away with murder, according to his deceased wife's family, and he just beat them in court.
A judge dismissed the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Kathleen Durst, who disappeared in 1982.
Her body was never found, but a judge subsequently ruled in 2017 her date of death was the same day she disappeared -- January 31, 1982.
Durst was widely suspected of killing her, but he was never charged. He has been charged with the murder of his good friend, Susan Berman, who prosecutors believe knew he murdered Kathleen.
As for the wrongful death lawsuit, a judge just said the family waited too long to file it and the 2-year statute of limitations has long-since run.
There's a twist in all of this ... the lawsuit could be filed -- even long after the statute of limitations had run -- if Durst were in criminal court over Kathleen's murder. Her family argued the criminal case did involve Kathleen's murder, because prosecutors believe Durst killed Susan Berman because she was going to blow the whistle on him over Kathleen's death. They felt that wasn't a direct tie ... or at least not enough to allow a wrongful death suit.
Durst was arrested and charged with Susan Berman's murder after the show "The Jinx" aired on HBO. You hear Durst in the bathroom, thinking his microphone was off, saying, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
Antonio Brown Foot Injury Caused By 'Cryogenic Chamber Mishap'

Antonio Brown is no John Spartan ...
Turns out, the foot injury that's been plaguing him during Oakland Raiders training camp stems from a "cryogenic chamber mishap" ... this according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
31-year-old Brown, who signed a 3-year, $50 MILLION deal with the Raiders, has been nursing some pretty gross-looking feet ... but he hasn't been clear on what caused the injury.
There's been rumblings that he went into a cryogenic chamber without proper foot protection -- but neither Brown nor his representatives have said anything on the record about it.
FYI, cryo chambers can get to about 200 degree below Fahrenheit -- and they're typically used for workout recovery.
There have been cryogenic chamber mishaps to high-profile athletes in the past -- including U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin who suffered frostbite on his feet in 2011 due to wearing sweaty socks during the treatment.
Unclear what exactly caused Brown's injury.
Brown and his situation were featured on Tuesday's episode of "Hard Knocks" -- which showed AB trying to run sprints and workout despite having sore feet.
Brown is reportedly seeing a specialist and is considered day-to-day.
The NFL season kicks off in just 4 weeks -- and it's safe to say the Raiders are working like hell to get him healthy ASAP.

El Paso Shooting Prisoners to Host Baked Potato Sale ... To Help Shooting Victims

Exclusive

Prisoners near El Paso are holding a bake sale for the victims of the mass shooting this weekend -- and by bake ... we actually mean baked potato.
The Otero County Prison Facility -- which is in Chaparral, New Mexico, about 30 minutes North of the Texas town -- is putting on an event Friday on its grounds, where inmates will be selling loaded baked potatoes to prison staff ... in an effort to raise money.
Nissi Jimenez, an Otero County Prison official, says the facility wanted to help their neighbors in any way possible ... figuring it would be a great way to help the grieving community with an in-house effort. All proceeds will be given to the El Paso Community Foundation, which is facilitating donations for the victims and their families.
As for how it'll work ... we're told the prison bought around 150 potatoes for the event, and plan to have 15 inmates working the kitchen to hand out the stuffed snack at $6 a pop, plus charging extra for add-ons.
Their goal is to raise $1,000 in baked potato sales ... but the facility is also taking straight-up check and cash donations in addition to potato profits. It'll all go down in the front lobby, where hundreds of prison employees are expected to attend.
There are more ways the prison plans to contribute -- Jimenez says there are extracurricular clubs in which prisoners participate, and 4 of them have committed to donating money toward the event ... upwards of $1,000 has been pledged so far.

Ariana Grande Surprises Barbra Streisand Onstage ... 'Best Night of My Life!!!'
Barbra Streisand and Ariana Grande blended classic and contemporary voices for one helluva surprise performance, and only 2 words come to mind -- like buttah!!!
The legendary singer was in the middle of performing Tuesday night at United Center in Chicago when, out of nowhere, Ariana -- who idolizes Babs, btw -- strolled onstage. Naturally, her surprise appearance drew a roaring ovation as they launched into Barbra's 1979 hit duet "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)." AG sang the legendary Donna Summer's part.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
You can tell Ariana's THIS close to losing it herself from excitement. Her review of the performance was pretty simple -- she wrote on social media, "Best night of my life."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ariana cracked a joke, "I'm gonna go pass out now. You're just gonna find 10 pounds of hair."
The "7 Rings" singer later posted a picture with Barbra and captioned it, "Cherishing this moment forever." It seems Ariana decided to stick around in Chi-town after her Sunday performance at Lollapalooza.
She had to wait a couple days to play out her dream ... but clearly, it was worth it.

6:21 AM PT -- We're told Bam's team has returned the check without cashing it.
Bam Margera going to rehab has a celeb boxing promoter in a tough spot -- he's looking to get back the dough he just fronted Bam to ref a high profile match.
Damon Feldman, the promoter putting on a bout featuring the infamous Bagel Boss, tells TMZ ... Bam got half of his fee up front -- a cool $2,500 -- after signing a deal last week agreeing to be a ref. The deal called for Bam to get another $2,500 after the event. Damon says he hopes Bam gets better soon, and he won't hold the "Jackass" star to his contract.
The only catch ... Feldman says he wants his money back.
As we reported ... the "Viva La Bam" star is spending the next 60-90 days in treatment, meaning he's unavailable for the September 7 event in Atlantic City. Damon says he's contacted Bam's team to get the money back, but so far, radio silence.
TMZ broke the story ... Damon and Bam agreed to the deal just before Margera went off the rails last weekend -- berating a Southwest Airlines employee and getting booted from the flight.
The next morning, Bam took to social media and pled for Dr. Phil's help because his "family is in shambles" ... claiming his troubles were worse than ever.
