XXXTentacion Murder Captured on Surveillance Video
XXXTentacion's murder happened in plain view of surveillance cameras, and the haunting video was played in public for the first time Thursday during a Broward County court hearing.
The video shows X walking into the motorcycle dealership in Pompano Beach, FL ... and you see two of the suspects follow him into the building. Later, his BMW is stopped on the street by the gun-wielding suspects.
Surveillance cameras recorded what we'd already known -- that X struggled with his assailants before they opened fire at point-blank range. One of them actually walked around to the passenger side and got into X's car before fleeing the scene.

As we reported, the suspects made off with a Louis Vuitton bag and $50k in cash.
WPLG was in court as prosecutors played the video during a discovery and bail hearing for Robert Allen -- one of 4 suspects charged with the June murder of the rapper.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 22-year-old woman was busted for public mischief and released without bail.
You gotta watch the vid ... it's an unreal scene inside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Thursday night during Maroon 5's concert.
You see the woman (white jacket, black pants) dancing onstage in front of the band before sliding past a guitarist and hauling ass down a runway toward Adam ... showing everyone she's got moves like Jagger.
That's when security belatedly intervenes and carries her offstage -- but not before she puts up a pretty good fight!

Yasiel Puig Gucci Shopping Spree ... After Multiple Burglaries
Yasiel Puig doesn't seem too fazed about all the burglaries at his L.A. home -- he just went out and bought a bunch of expensive replacement stuff!
Puig and the Dodgers are in San Francisco to play the Giants in a hugely important 3-game series beginning Friday night ... but before Yasiel took the field, he hit Gucci and Louis Vuitton with some of his teammates, including Pedro Baez!
Of course, Puig could use some new stuff -- his home was hit 4 times in the past 2 years. In the most recent invasion, crooks raided his bedroom earlier this month while he was playing at Dodger Stadium.
The good news for Puig ... he's rich. Dude's in the middle of a $42 million contract.
In fact, back in November Puig told us he has "too much f**king money" to worry about burglaries.
So, Friday morning he proved it -- hitting some of the fanciest stores in San Fran and leaving with a ton of bags.
Hopefully, he's upgraded the security at his house before he gets back to L.A.

Flesh-n-Bone to Bill Cosby Surviving Prison 101 ... Get Your Pudding Pop Jokes Ready!!
Flesh-n-Bone says Bill Cosby better sharpen up his checkers game, and his stand-up comedy ... if he wants to make it through the next 3 to 10 years.
We got the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper Thursday at LAX and wanted to know, from a celebrity's perspective, if doing hard time is ... well, hard. Flesh scoffed at first, telling us it wasn't too tough for him -- he did 8 years for assault with a deadly weapon and a probation violation.
But, he admitted Cosby's rape conviction could make life on the inside harder for him. Flesh's survival tip for the disgraced comedian is be funny, as in ... lean on those pudding jokes early. You gotta watch Flesh's reaction when we tell him Cosby actually got Jell-O his first day behind bars.
More than anything, Flesh says Cosby's gonna have to deal with a ton of downtime -- and he's got some prison gaming suggestions for him.

Sen. Jeff Flake Cornered by Sexual Assault Survivors Over Kavanaugh Confirmation
Senator Jeff Flake is getting immediate, powerful and emotional feedback on his decision to support the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh ... in the form of 2 tearful protesters who cornered him on Capitol Hill.
The AZ Senator stepped into an elevator Friday morning and, before the doors closed, the women -- surrounded by cameras and reporters -- tore into Flake. The gripping scene unfolded live on CNN as the women told Flake they were sexual assault survivors, they believed Dr. Christine Ford ... and they demanded to know how he could allow Kavanaugh to have a seat on the high court.
One protester said, "What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in the Supreme Court. This is not tolerable!"
The other said, "Look at me when I'm talking to you. You're telling me that my assault doesn't matter ... and that you're gonna let people who do these things into power. That's what you're telling me when you vote for him."
It's an uneasy standoff to watch -- Flake is absolutely captive in the elevator, and there's NO security to protect him ... but it's also symbolic of the emotions of millions in the country.
Flake was on his way to the Senate Judiciary Committee which will vote Friday on whether to recommend Kavanaugh's confirmation.

The war at the Coliseum wasn't just on the field Thursday night -- a bunch of fans got into a brawl in the stands ... with one guy getting tossed over several rows of bleachers!!
The standoff began just before the end of the 1st half ... a Rams fan got into it with several Vikings fans.
You can see the Rams fan smack a female Vikings fan in the face ... and then it gets crazy.
Punches are thrown, a beer gets tossed, a woman gets her hair pulled (hard!) and then the Rams fan grabs a dude ... and FLINGS HIM OVER 4 ROWS OF BLEACHERS!
The video is nuts -- and the guy who was tossed is lucky he wasn't seriously injured. In fact, he got up and continued to scream at the dude who chucked him.
We're told security responded and removed several of the combatants from the stadium. Unclear if any arrests were made.
The Rams ended up winning the game ... and we're guessing both the players and the fans had to ice up Friday morning.

TMZ Sports spoke with the 18-year-old superstar who said he was having a routine checkup recently when the docs "found a medical issue dealing with my heart."

Tiffany Haddish I See You, Weezy ... 'Carter V' is FIRE!!!
Tiffany Haddish couldn't keep her eyes off Lil Wayne ... call it the 'Carter V' afterglow.
The comedian hit up Weezy's star-studded birthday shindig Thursday night at Hubble Studios in L.A. The rapper turned 36 but the bigger celebration was for the long-delayed release of 'Carter V' ... which FIIIIINALLY dropped after a musical eternity.
Check out the pics ... Wayne's birthday cake is INSANE. There was also a goat at the party 'cause ... Weezy's the GOAT. Wiz Khalifa, Trey Songz and Chris Brown made appearances. Ashanti was also at the bash and happily mugged for the cameras. Safe to say Ashanti's wide grin speaks for everyone -- happy as hell 'TC5' dropped.
As we reported ... Weezy enlisted the help of his celeb friends to drop hints on the release date for "Tha Carter V" but fans had trouble dissecting them.
It started with Floyd Mayweather's "#21" followed by James Harden's "#13" and Kobe Bryant's "#8." All kinds of theories started spreading on what the hashtags meant. In any event ... fans can finally smile about 'TC5' no longer being held hostage.

Lil Wayne Celeb Friends Dropped 'TC5' Hints ... Fans Just Didn't Get It
Lil Wayne enlisted the help of Kobe Bryant, Floyd Mayweather, James Harden and others to drop hints on the release date for "Tha Carter V" ... and his fans didn't even have a clue.
It was exactly 21 days ago when Floyd Mayweather posted the album's artwork with the goat emoji and "#21." Fans thought Floyd's post meant the album would be dropped on September 21 ... but that clearly wasn't the case. In fact, Floyd actually started a countdown to the album's release date.
James Harden followed suit the next week, posting the album artwork and "#13" -- many didn't pay attention to the hashtag ... because it's also his jersey number. What they didn't realize ... it was the continuation of the countdown for the 'TC5' release.
Kobe dropped a hint 8 days ago with a post of the album artwork and "#8" ... considering Bryant's jersey number for a long time was 8, again, most people didn't pay attention to the number.
Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Vick and Wayne's daughter, Reginae, had similar posts with numbers in their captions that corresponded with the album's release.
So, we gotta ask ...

Rams WR Robert Woods Burglarized During 'Thursday Night Football'
L.A. Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had a GREAT night on Thursday -- until he got home ... and saw his home had been broken into while he was playing the Vikings, TMZ Sports has learned.
Woods caught 5 passes for 101 yards and a TD in the Rams victory over Minnesota at the Coliseum in L.A. Clearly, somebody knew he would be out of the house (the game was nationally televised) and burglarized Robert's San Fernando Valley pad.
We're told when Woods returned to his home after the game, he called police -- but since no alarm was set, it's unclear exactly when the burglary took place. It appears the intruder entered through a back window. Sources say cops and Woods are trying to put together a list of what was taken.
The situation appears to be similar to Yasiel Puig -- who also lives in the Valley. His home was hit while he was playing a game at Dodger Stadium earlier this month.
Woods is from Los Angeles -- he went to high school in Gardena and played college ball at USC.

50 Cent's Baby Mama Claps Back at Him ... You're Powerless to Stop My TV Gig!!!
50 Cent's all bark and no bite -- at least that's what his first baby mama thinks of his threat to derail her reality TV show ... but we've learned he's ready to sic his lawyers on her.
Shaniqua Tompkins tells TMZ ... she's not at all concerned after the rapper said there's no way in hell she can do a reality TV show because he owns her life rights. She's planning to team up with Nas' baby mama to sell a reality show about urban women in business.
ICYMI ... 50 went off on IG about her TV plans, saying ... "I have to say this in a way she can understand me. Look bitch go get a f***ing job, I own your life rights reality Tv is a no go. I don't know what to tell you, oh go shake your new fake ass over at club Angels."
Shaniqua says the "Power" star is powerless and is just salty 'cause she has ZERO interest in his ass. We're not so sure ... because a rep for 50 says, "Mr. Jackson intends to fully enforce his contractual rights as he has done in the past regarding Ms. Tompkins."
A source close to Fiddy tells us those contractual rights include Shaniqua's life story -- but watch the vid ... she's definitely not convinced and threatens to fire off a lawsuit of her own.

Parkland Leader Cameron Kasky I Respect 'South Park' ... Even a School Shooting Episode
Student activist Cameron Kasky -- one of the survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas -- appreciates "South Park" ... even when it satirizes the tragedies he and way too many other kids have gone through.
We got the Parkland leader in NYC Thursday and asked about Wednesday night's episode -- titled "Dead Kids" -- in which South Park Elementary is ravaged with multiple school shootings ... but nobody seems to care (other than Stan's mom).
Cameron says while he understands people might be offended by the subject matter, he actually thinks the show's creators did a great job addressing nationwide apathy to the school shooting epidemic ... and hopes it makes us take a look in the mirror.
Kasky also praised Trey Parker and Matt Stone for not portraying the violence or showing the shooter in the episode -- the chaos was framed as background noise -- and for not being afraid to tackle important social issues ... even if he doesn't always agree with them.
As for whether Cam would consider voicing a character on the show -- not gonna happen. He'll just continue to watch ... and appreciate their art.

MLB's Mat Latos Hit with Restraining Order Allegedly Terrorized Ex-GF
Mat Latos -- an ex-MLB pitcher who made $28 mil in the bigs -- has been ordered to stay away from his ex-girlfriend after allegedly slashing her tires and threatening to kill her.
TMZ Sports has obtained court docs which show Mat's ex-girlfriend went to authorities in Florida to report several incidents in which she claims Mat physically and emotionally abused her ... dating back to 2017.
According to court docs, the woman claims the first incident occurred back in Sept. '17 -- when Mat got angry and flipped over a bed while she was still on it.
"He tackled me to the floor, picked me up and slammed me on the couch where he got on top of me pressing his forearm on my throat."
The woman claims Latos then backed her into a wall and told her, "I'll f**king kill you."
"He then spit on me, put water in his mouth and spit more."
She claims the abuse continued in January 2018 -- when Latos locked her in her closet.
In April 2018, the woman claims Latos slashed her tires with a knife. She reported that incident to police.
In August 2018, the woman claims Latos got violent again -- but this time she hit back, elbowing him in the jaw. She claims a witness will back up her account.
The woman claims she's in fear for her life -- especially since Latos owns "multiple guns."
A judge granted a restraining order on August 28 requiring Latos to keep at least 500 feet from the woman at all times -- and it's been extended until October when the case is due back in court.
We reached out to Latos for comment. So far, no word back.
30-year-old Latos was a stud during his 9 seasons in the Big Leagues -- striking out more than 1,000 batters while playing for the Reds, Padres, Blue Jays and other teams.
His best year was 2010 when he finished 8th in the Cy Young award voting.
