Elton John stopped his concert dead in its tracks Saturday night, after his piano failed miserably.

The OG Rocket Man was pissed when the instrument seemed to freeze up during his hit, "Philadelphia Freedom." Elton dropped an f-bomb or 2 and the crowd at Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana loved it.

Corey Feldman says he made the mother of his good friend a promise not to talk about allegations Corey Haim was sexually molested when he was 13 ... and he's sticking to his promise.

We got Feldman outside Tao Saturday night, and asked him a story claiming Charlie Sheen raped Haim, something Sheen fiercely denies.

Corey's mom, Judy Haim, went on Dr. Oz recently and said a former actor sexually abused her son, but not Charlie.

Corey Haim died in 2010 at 38.

The cast of Modern Family had a blowout party Saturday night to celebrate 200 episodes, and just about everyone showed.

Our photog covered a lot of ground as the cast left Catch.

-- Nolan Gould, who's super smart and a Mensa member, was put to the brain test.

-- Eric Stonestreet weighs in on Roger Goodell's salary.

-- Rico Rodriguez, whose dad recently passed away, has advice for kid actors.

-- Sofia Vergara wasn't chatty but definitely friendly

-- Jeremy Maguire -- this kid's awesome, boasting about his Instagram followers.

We also got Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen and Christopher Lloyd.

Tyler Shields -- the artist behind the Donald Trump "bloody head" spoof that landed Kathy Griffin in hot water -- says Griffin's message is important for people to hear.

We got Tyler Saturday at LAX, and he told our photog he's in touch with Kathy pretty regularly. He says she needs to press on not just so her fans can hear her, but her detractors as well.

Leo DiCaprio had an interesting birthday party Saturday night ... in terms of what he fellow celebs chose to get him.

Robin Thicke may have slipped a present inside The Highlight Room in L.A., but probably more meaningful was that he took the mic and sang Happy Birthday,.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu -- whose movie "The Revenant" won Leo an Oscar -- showed up humble.

Steve Wynn is not keen on OJ Simpson visiting any of his Vegas hotel properties.

We got the mogul Saturday night leaving Craig's in WeHo and asked him about OJ getting booted for life from the Cosmopolitan hotel after allegedly getting drunk and belligerent with staff.

Listen to him say, "OJ is too much excitement for us." The translation is less than a warm welcome.

It's also unclear what Wynn meant when he says, "That guy was born to hang."

The final Playboy Mansion bash honoring Hugh Hefner is going down this weekend, and although it's supposed to be invitation-only -- there's a way you can get in ... but for a VERY hefty price.

The event's been labeled a celebration of life, and it's set for Sunday from 10am to 2pm. Remember, Sunday Funday was always a big tradition for Hef back in his partying days, so it's a fitting send off.

Leave it to ticket scalpers to key in on that ... because tickets have started popping up online. The highest price we found was $3500 a pop. No word on who got real deal invitations, but we're told it's supposed to be mostly close friends and family. Plus whoever throws down thousands on the black market.

As we reported, Pabst heir Daren Metropoulos bought the Mansion -- and is planning some major renovations and add-ons -- so this might be the last party there in its current configuration.

Hef was 91 when he died in September, but a Playboy party is forever.

John Krasinski's good looks deserve a Dundie!

Here's a 25-year-old version of "The Office" star looking baby-faced at an event back in 2004 (left) and 13 years later ... the now 38-year-old father of 2 is seen showing off his rougher side in New York City earlier this month (right).

"License to Wed."

The question is...

If you thought $1,000 for a Tom Brady autographed football was expensive ... hold on to your avocado toast -- because the price JUST WENT UP!

Earlier this year, TMZ Sports reported that Tom was hosting a private signing session back in March -- where fans could pick an item for Tom to sign ... for a hefty price.

Now, Tom's holding another autograph session later this month ... and the price per auto on some of the items has gone up $50 EACH. Here's a list ...

Want Tom to sign a FOOTBALL for you? It's $1,049 (March: $1,000)

Autographed Photo? That'll be $899 (March: $850)

Pats mini-helmet? $949 (March: $900)

Tom Brady "game day" style jersey? $1,249 (March: $1,200)

One of the highest-ranked Army vets believes Dennis Rodman can help make peace with North Korea ... saying Donald Trump should seriously consider meeting with the ex-NBA star to smooth things out with Kim Jong-un.

TMZ Sports spoke with Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré -- who most people remember as the guy who famously led the military recovery efforts during Hurricane Katrina.

He also spent 3 years as the commander of the 2nd Infantry division in South Korea -- and he thinks a sit-down between POTUS and Rodman could go a long way.

General Honoré admits "Dennis says and does some unusual things," but when it comes to a potential nuclear war ... "we don't have the luxury to turn down any option that might work."

Trump is currently on a 2-week long trip in Asia, and Rodman recently told us he can help out ... if he's up for it.

Super Bowl 52's taking its slogan seriously ... and it'll be EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE to see and buy.

TMZ Sports obtained docs filed by the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee outlining where it wants to place its slogan "Bold North." There's the obvious -- key chains, magnets, wallets, umbrellas, portable chairs, jigsaw puzzles, toys, temporary tattoos, clothing, etc.

Basically, it looks like everything you'll buy at the stadium will feature the slogan, even the menu items. The trademark gets super specific with the foods they're giving the Bold North name to, including:

-- Sandwiches (brisket, turkey, beef and vegan, too!)

-- Fried chicken

-- Pretzels

-- Pizza, calzones

-- Hot dogs, corn dogs

-- Donuts

-- Burritos, tacos and fajitas

Bold ... for sure.

Donald Trump just took the high road in a war of words with the leader of North Korea ... just kidding -- he called him short and fat.

The Prez responded to Kim Jong-un calling him old and threatening nuclear war by dishing out an insult Saturday night (Sunday morning for Trump, who's currently in Vietnam), posting on Twitter ... "Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me 'old,' when I would NEVER call him 'short and fat?'"

Trump went on, sarcastically claiming he's tried hard to be the North Korean leader's friend and saying "maybe someday that will happen!"

Trump's jab appears to be his response to Jong-un referring to the President as a "dotard" who "begged for nuclear war" during his tour of Asia ... which he's still on. Or, it could be from North Korea's state-run media calling Trump a "lunatic old man."

George Lopez wanted to shout it out loud on stage with KISS, but the problem was band members were just trying to answer questions from fans ... so George got the boot.

Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and the fellas were doing a Q&A Thursday on their annual KISS Kruise when Lopez got disruptive, which you see from the video. Check it out ... the crowd begins to boo and yell to take his mic away. We're told George was very drunk.

At one point, KISS manager Doc McGhee leaves the stage because he's so annoyed, and we're told security escorted George off shortly afterward. He was spotted in the crowd sleeping later on during another band's performance.

As for why Lopez was part of the panel in the first place ... he's friends with Stanley and a KISS superfan. We got him at LAX when he returned from the Kruise ... he still gave it a rave review.

We've reached out to George ... no word back so far.

Tyrese has offered an explanation for his erratic behavior in recent weeks -- he says a new medication is to blame.

Tyrese claims his online meltdown a couple weeks ago was caused by the drug Rexulti, used to treat depression, having an adverse effect on him ... but he's off it now and getting back to normal.

The actor says the meds made him do things over the past 2 months that effected a lot of people and he wants them to know he's sorry.

As we've reported ... Tyrese is in a bitter court battle with his ex, Norma Gibson, and he says doctors recommended the meds to him to handle the stress.

OJ Simpson is livid over reports -- presumably ours -- that he was banned from the Cosmopolitan hotel in Vegas for life after getting drunk at a bar and being belligerent to hotel staff.

Simpson is challenging the story we broke ... that he was at the Clique bar at around midnight Wednesday when he drunkenly started arguments with hotel staff, who called security after glasses broke. Security escorted Simpson out of the building where he is now persona non grata.

Simpson was leaving his lawyer's office Friday when he bristled at the story, saying it was totally untrue. He claims nothing happened, but doesn't explain why the hotel would have banned him for life.

We're told he had been frequenting bars at the Cosmo since his release from prison.
