3:30 PM PT -- The Charlottesville police chief says the victim killed was a 32-year-old woman who was crossing an intersection. The driver -- a male -- was captured moments after attempting to flee the scene of the crime. He's in police custody, and charges are expected for criminal homicide.

The chief says at least 35 people total were injured Saturday as the result of "premeditated violence" -- including 19 from the car plowing into the crowd of protesters. He says the injuries range from life-threatening to minor.

1:30 PM PT -- A state official says the driver of the car that plowed into protesters is in custody.

12:30 PM PT -- Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer says 1 person has died from the car crashing into the crowd. Health officials say 20 patients were taken to UVA Medical Center with injuries and confirm one death.

Multiple outlets are reporting the pedestrians who were struck were protesters of the white nationalists' rally.

A car plowed into a group of people in Charlottesville causing bodies to go flying ... then floored it in reverse away and appeared to drive off.

Be warned -- the video is graphic. It looks like a van is slowly driving down a street with a silver car following, and then out of nowhere a gray Dodge Challenger smashes into the silver car ... causing a violent chain reaction.

Another angle of the gray car plowing into the crowd suggests it was a deliberate hit and run.

It's unclear if the people struck by the car were part of the alt-right rally or protesters or both ... but you hear someone in the first video yell, "That nazi drove into people!" Multiple injuries have been reported.

As we reported ... Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency Saturday after violent clashes broke out before an alt-right rally.

DeMario Jackson's nothing if not confident ... that the footage of the controversial hot tub incident between him and Corinne Olympios will clear his name.

The "Bachelor in Paradise" outcast hit up Doheny Room in Weho Friday night clearly looking to make a statement with his wardrobe -- he wants 'BIP' producers to show the tape.

Unfortunately for DeMario ... Warner Bros. says the infamous hot tub footage that shut down production of the reality show will not be aired.

A trailer for the upcoming season of 'Paradise' did tease DeMario and Corinne's hookup, though ... and we're still awaiting their reunion show. So no -- we're not done with DeMario yet.

A "Unite the Right" rally in downtown Charlottesville has been met with protesters, and so much violence erupted ... the governor declared a state of emergency.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe made the declaration Saturday morning amid clashes between white nationalists and thousands of protesters. City officials deemed the rally an "unlawful assembly" and state police equipped with riot gear cleared Emancipation Park.

Video of the violence shows brawls, tear gas being used and people holding weapons. Several arrests have been made and so far at least 2 people have reportedly been injured.

This comes on the heels of an alt-right march in Charlottesville Friday night, which was met with opposition by hundreds of UVA students. The white nationalists are rallying to oppose a plan to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from the park.

Jerry O'Connell put his heart and soul into a karaoke performance ... and the crowd definitely appreciated the effort.

The "Crossing Jordan" and "Kangaroo Jack" star grabbed the mic at Fraser Tavern in North Bay, Ontario Thursday night and did his best impression of The Weekend's "I Feel it Coming" -- not holding anything back ... even on the high notes.

We're told the place is a local karaoke hot spot, and when the DJ noticed the actor in the crowd he called him up ... and Jerry answered the call. The audience wanted an encore later, but he turned it down ... probably feeling it would be hard to top.

O'Connell's currently in town filming a new TV show called "Carter."

Bodybuilding superstar Rich Piana had 20 bottles of steroids in his home at the time of his medical emergency ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

Cops were called to Piana's Florida home at 1:30 PM on Monday after the 46-year-old social media sensation suddenly collapsed in his bathroom while getting a haircut from his girlfriend, Chanel.

Piana's girlfriend says she tried to catch the former Mr. California bodybuilding champ when he collapsed but couldn't due to his massive size and weight. Chanel told officials Piana struck his head during the fall.

The 911 operator instructed Chanel to perform CPR but she was unable to revive him.

When emergency personnel arrived, paramedics found crushed up white powder on a table along with a credit card and straw and decided to give Rich 2 doses of Narcan (often used to treat opiate overdoses) to try and revive him.

Chanel told responders Rich had battled opiate addiction in the past but she believed he was clean.

Rich never regained consciousness and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was placed into a medically induced coma.

The report notes that police found bottles and bottles of testosterone in the home, 20 in total. Chanel said Rich is an admitted steroid user who's been juicing for more than 20 years.

Chanel also noted Rich had suffered from a slightly enlarged heart at one point in his life -- but didn't know if that contributed to the medical emergency.

Usher was clearly focusing on his salad when a photog asked him about several lawsuits accusing him of having sex with people without disclosing he allegedly had genital herpes.

Usher was chowing down at Alfred Coffee in WeHo Friday with Jermaine Dupri when mum was clearly the word. That, they made clear.

Jermaine is producing a new Usher album, and the 2 have been in the studio ... seemingly undeterred from the various allegations.

Dana White is nothing if not loyal ... he posted a video Friday night clearly showing his boy, Conor McGregor kicked the ass of sparing partner/former world boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi.

A photo surfaced on social media last week, showing what appeared to be a knockout during a sparring match between Conor and Paulie. Paulie claimed he was pushed and the photo wasn't as it seemed.

Well, with the McGregor/Mayweather fight looming this month, Dana dropped the vid to prove his man is a true contender.

Here's the thing ... Paulie still maintains he wasn't knocked to the canvas. After Dana posted the video, Paulie tweeted, "Pushing my head down with right hand as he's dragging me in that direction by then throwing the left, the push down is with right hand."

Niall Horan was blazin' in the sun Friday during a very hot afternoon jog.

The former One Direction singer stripped down -- partially -- during a jog in the place celebs love to be seen exercising -- Runyon Canyon in L.A.

Niall's gotta be feeling good about himself ... his song, "Slow Hands" has soared like the L.A. PM temp.

Tupac Shakur's 1996 Hummer -- the ride he bought a month before he was killed -- is headed back to the auction block ... because the previous winning bidder bailed on paying.

The rapper's fully loaded Hummer sold for a whopping $337,000 in May 2016 -- 3 times more than what was expected -- and it turns out it may have been too good to be true. After several attempts to collect, the anonymous Ohio bidder defaulted.

Usher isn't saying anything about the people accusing him of exposing them to the herpes virus, but the story definitely isn't going away. And Taylor Swift is doing plenty of talking ... on the stand. So we gotta ask ...

Chris Hemsworth can do pretty much anything, and it kinda pisses us off.

The perfect looking, perfect father took his twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, to a skate park Friday, and dad showed 'em how it's done in Byron Bay, Australia.

BTW, "Thor: Ragnarok" comes out in late October. He is clearly still in Thor shape.

Think about it for a second ... make a top 10 guy list and break down the criteria for each one. You'll see what we mean.

Drake and Future are being sued for $25 MILLION by a woman who claims she was raped at their concert by a man associated with the venue.

The woman says she attended the duo's show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville last August. The woman claims she was approached by a man associated with Bridgestone Arena who told her he'd take her backstage to meet Drake and Future.

The woman says she followed the man -- identified as Leavy Johnson -- who then allegedly violently attacked her, causing severe physical and psychological injury. According to The Tennessean, Johnson has since been arrested and charged with rape and is awaiting trial.

Johnson had outstanding warrants for assault at the time of the alleged attack. She says Drake, Future, the arena and multiple others should have known that employing Johnson had the potential to cause a dangerous situation for others.

We see 2 Chainz rollin' ... and we ain't hatin'!!!

The rapper broke his leg just over a week ago and needed surgery to fix it. The doc told him he might have to cancel his entire "Pretty Girls Like Trap Music" tour ... but Chainz wasn't having it.

So the rapper's producer hit up Sean Mahaney of Seanco Custom Wheelchairs ... and Sean tells TMZ his team got a tricked out 2-wheeler in less than a week ... in time for the tour's show in Tuscon.

No one's talkin' price, but we're told the chair set Chainz back around $10k. The cushion alone runs a G.

The pink wheelchair is propelled by 26-inch wheels with 144 gold spokes, chain-link detail that harnesses the wheels ... plus the rapper's "TRAP" logo. Sean's no stranger to tricking out wheelchairs. He hooked up Slim Jimmy for last year's BET Awards, which is how 2 Chainz's crew heard about Sean.

2 Chainz will perform the majority of his tour in the chair.

Almost wish ya had a bum leg, huh?

Patrick Schwarzenegger took his model girlfriend Abby Champion for a late lunch Friday, much to the chagrin of a pig who has left this earth.

Arnold's 23-year-old son chowed down on bacon with Abby Champion during an afternoon that included a couple's massage. It's clearly good to be a Schwarzenegger.

Interesting ... Patrick's been with Abby for more than a year. She moved out from Birmingham, Alabama to pursue modeling and Patrick swooped in ... in about 5 seconds.
