Bethenny Frankel had an extremely tough weekend -- her family dog suffered a massive seizure ... and now she's saying she might have to put her down.

Bethenny posted a number of harrowing videos Saturday of her pup, Cookie, having a seizure at her home ... with a distraught Bethenny literally asking her social media followers what she should do, especially since her nearest vet is 40 min away.

Bethenny later said their docs didn't have good news at first -- Cookie was alive, but unconscious ... but she's now resting with a high temperature. During the seizure scare, Bethenny said she'd be putting her down if she didn't recover.

The ex-RHONY star caught flak for what some thought was a terrible reaction to the situation -- people assumed she waited 45 minutes before bringing the dog to the vet, and opted to film instead.

Bethenny cleared up the controversy, though ... she said they left for the vet only 3 minutes into Cookie's seizure, and that she only resorted to social media out of desperation.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian took the cake for costumes Saturday night in Bel Air.

Kim got Madonna on the nose, and Kourtney did an impressive Michael Jackson. They were headed to a party in the fanciest of areas of L.A. when photogs got the pic.

The way the story goes ... Madge and MJ dated back in the day. Madonna once brought Michael as her date to the 63rd Academy Awards ceremony back in 1991, and that was the inspiration for the costumes.

Kendall Jenner kinda jammed out at a Migos concert but spent at least as much time yakking with friends.

Kendall showed up at Camp Flog Gnaw, a music festival thrown by Tyler the Creator. You see Tyler and Kendall at the beginning of the clip. She clearly knows lots of people there.

Sounds like a fun night ... Mac Miller, Lana del Rey, Tyler the Creator, and Vince Staples all performed.

The Hollywood Bowl's taken a gigantic proactive step to prevent a psychopath from unleashing a deadly assault similar to the Las Vegas shooter -- by closing and patrolling a park with unobstructed views of the venue from afar.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Bowl's new security plan will now extend some approximately 900 feet from the venue at the famous Mulholland Overlook Park ... popular among tourists for its picturesque views of DTLA and, of course, the Bowl.

We're told several agencies -- including LAPD and Park Rangers -- have begun dispatching officers for security on nights the Bowl has scheduled events. The park will also be closed to the public.

10/30/17, 4:40 PM -- We spoke with a rep for Dr. Phil who tells us he never hit the skateboarder, and adds the only contact happened when the skateboarder put his hand on the roof of Phil's car to keep his balance.

Dr. Phil's not going to skate after hitting a dude with his car, because the skateboarder he struck is gearing up to go after him in court ... TMZ has learned.

Terrence Bembury's lawyer John Mardoyan tells us ... he's already filed an insurance claim over the accident, and it's very likely a lawsuit's coming next. The lawyer says Terrence sustained a serious shoulder injury and possible head trauma.

Bembury's also got a major problem with how he says Dr. Phil handled the situation. He claims he was in a state of shock after being hit by a celeb and was definitely not OK before Phil took off ... even though cops say he told Phil he was fine -- which gave the Doc the right to leave.

Terrence thinks whatever he said, Dr. Phil had a civic duty to stay until help arrived.

As we reported ... the skateboarder posted a pic from an exam room after the accident and lashed out at Dr. Phil online, but cops dispute some of his allegations toward the TV host.

Oakland A's catcher Bruce Maxwell was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after cops say he pulled a gun on a woman ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Scottsdale PD tells us Maxwell, 26, was arrested Saturday at 6:08 PM at his Scottsdale, AZ home. Cops say the alleged victim was a female food delivery driver who told them Maxwell pointed a gun at her.

It's unclear what led up to the incident.

SPD says Maxwell was booked on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct.

Cops say he is in custody and awaiting his initial appearance in front of a judge.

Earlier this week, Maxwell -- the only MLB player to kneel for the anthem -- told us he was recently denied service at an Alabama restaurant by a waiter who disagreed with the protest.

'Big Brother 2' winner Dr. Will Kirby had it all -- the perfect woman, perfect 2 kids and perfect career ... all that was missing was a wedding ring. But now ... check!

Will finally tied the knot with longtime fiancée Erin Brodie ... who btw won the reality show "For Love or Money" back in 2003. The intimate, all-white affair went down in Malibu. We're told about 50 people attended ... including their 2 kids -- Scarlett and Cash.

Super btw -- Will, dermatologist to the stars, also won the celebrity edition of "The Price is Right" last year. He donated his winnings to charity.

Ronda Rousey still loves fighting ... but she doesn't have to break arms to be in the scene.

The semi-retired UFC mega-star gave us the low-down on her latest project -- an executive producer gig for the docuseries "Why We Fight."

Rousey told TMZ Sports it's basically a look inside the mind of a mixed martial artist ... and what pushes people like herself to punch face for a living.

"It's not a normal profession or thing to do, but there's always something that drives you towards it and everyone always has their own story."

FYI, Ronda's also keeping busy in the gaming world (Assassin's Creed is her jam) ... and it's looking like she's about to jump ship to the WWE.

Sissy Spacek's good looks are nothing to laugh at!

Here's a 21-year-old-version of the "Carrie" star at Sardi's back in 1970 (left) and 46 years later ... the now 67-year-old mother of 2 at a movie premiere in Culver City earlier this year (right).

"It's beautiful."

The question is ...

Steve Aoki settled his lawsuit with the dude who sued him after biting it hard on the DJ's signature flying cake.

Raymond Collins claimed he suffered a serious head injury in March after slipping on cake Aoki threw from the stage during a set at Hakkasan.

Aoki's lawyer, Barry Thompson, told TMZ, "Steve loves and is extremely dedicated to his fans. He was concerned to hear that Raymond Collins had fallen at his show after a long day and night celebrating with friends at a bachelor party."

No word on a monetary amount.

Thompson added, "Steve wishes Mr. Collins all the best."

It's Halloween time and these hidden hotties are here to spark your costume creativity ... can you guess who the dressed-up darlings are in these sexy shots?

Anna Faris and her new boyfriend are getting more comfortable with PDA ... we got the couple sipping wine and holding hands on a romantic lunch date.

Anna and Michael Barrett -- a cinematographer she met on set of her upcoming movie "Overboard" -- were spotted together Friday at Cutters Crabhouse in Seattle. The two were very close and handsy while sharing a bottle and some food. We're told there was even some kissing.

As we reported ... Anna and Michael were seen spending time together last month in Malibu and Pacific Palisades, so it's pretty clear they're not trying to hide their relationship.

Anna and Chris Pratt separated in August after 8 years of marriage.

There were celebrities galore at Colton Haynes' wedding, including the officiant ... Kris Jenner!!!

The "Teen Wolf" and "American Horror Story" star married celeb florist Jeff Leatham at the Parker hotel in Palm Springs Friday night. The couple were wed by Jenner in front of about 120 guests ... which included "Modern Family" stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sofia Vergara, her husband Joe Manganiello, and 'AHS' co-stars Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman.

Colton and Jeff got engaged in March under fireworks ... with an assist from Cher.

Congrats!!!

George Clooney and Rande Gerber may have pocketed a billion bucks when they sold Casamigos, but they're still involved in the traditions of the company -- namely, the always epic Casamigos Halloween party.

They threw a '70s-themed bash at Tower Records in WeHo, and tons of stars showed, including Kim Kardashian, David Spade, Courtney Love, Chuck Liddell, John Hamm, Russell Simmons, Seth McFarlane, Adam Levine, DeAndre Jordan, Steve Tisch, and on and on.

The tactics Stephen Paddock's brother used to avoid authorities are being described as "evil smart" ... and have disturbing connections to the Vegas shooting.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Bruce Paddock has been on the run for more than 2 years prior to his arrest this week for child porn. We're told he changed his appearance and moved often to keep cops off his tail ... and took drastic measures to avoid getting nabbed.

Our sources say Bruce rigged up places he was living with booby traps that included propane tanks tied to doors ... and used cameras to create homemade surveillance systems around his properties.

As you'll recall ... Stephen had cameras set up in his Mandalay Bay hotel room to presumably alert him if someone was coming while he attacked the Vegas crowd from his window.
