BTS' highly anticipated comeback concert just hit a snag -- the massive K-pop group's leader, RM, injured himself during rehearsals ... but as the saying goes, the show must go on.

While every ARMY across the globe was streaming the new "ARIRANG" Thursday night, BigHit Music dropped the news that the 31-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital after suffering an ankle ailment.

The timing couldn't be worse -- the group is slated to take the stage at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on Saturday ... an extravaganza that will be streamed on Netflix.

Jail can be a dangerous place for people ... but not for Joseph Duggar, who's super safe behind bars, TMZ has learned.

The former "19 Kids and Counting" star was placed in a "secure" area of the Washington County Jail in Arkansas as he awaits extradition to Bay County, Florida, to face charges that he allegedly molested a 9-year-old girl, according to a supervising corporal at the detention facility. 

The corporal tells TMZ ... Joseph has absolutely no access to other inmates for his own safety due to his high-profile case. Our source says the jail staff is very aware of Joseph's notoriety, and they're keeping him "under constant watch," checking on him hourly if not more often. 

Latto just made a major announcement to the world ... she's preggers with her first child!

The rapper served up the baby news by posting a music video on her Instagram page for her single, "Business & Personal."

She accompanied the video with the cover of her fourth album, "Big Mama," which shows her cradling a young cheetah while flaunting her baby bump. In the caption, Latto reminded everyone that the record will be released on May 29.

Jill Duggar Dillard and her family are "shocked and heartbroken" over her brother Joseph's arrest for child molestation.

The family shared their reaction on their blog Thursday ... one day after Joseph was taken to the clink in Arkansas and charged with two counts of child sex abuse stemming from an incident with a female minor in 2020.

The family wrote they "strongly condemn abuse" and "support the rule of law and hope that justice will be achieved" in the case, adding ... "Our hearts go out to the innocent juvenile victim of this unspeakable crime and her family. We pray God gives her strength, comfort and hope, and that she is able to get all the help and support she needs and deserves in the days ahead."

Bruce Willis turned 71 Thursday, and he got the best gift in the world thanks to his ex-wife Demi Moore.

In two of the pics, Bruce is seen hugging Louetta, who plants a kiss on his cheek. Another photo shows the pair smooching with Demi and Bruce's oldest daughter, Rumer, surrounding them. A fourth captures Bruce holding Louetta close to his chest. In the caption, Demi wrote, "All you need is LOVE. Happy birthday, BW! ♥️."

Sources connected to Justin tell TMZ ... Usher came up to Justin at the party with "energy and anger," and the two got into a "heated exchange."

We have blown up the telephones of Usher's camp to see if they have a consistent story ... but we have not heard back.

Grant Ellis says ABC absolutely did the right thing by pulling the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul as "The Bachelorette" ... telling us they needed to take a stand against domestic violence.

We got the former 'Bachelor' in Beverly Hills on Thursday and our photog asked him about ABC canceling Taylor after we first published a video of her getting violent with her baby daddy.

The way Grant sees it ... if ABC didn't pull the show, which was set to debut Sunday, they would have left it open to interpretation whether they cared about domestic abuse or not.

TMZ has learned ABC is pulling the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" amid fresh claims of domestic abuse, and the 2023 video of her fighting with her baby daddy.

A Disney Entertainment spokesperson tells us ... “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of 'The Bachelorette' at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”

The network dropped the hammer Thursday on the upcoming season of the reality TV dating show ... only hours after TMZ published video of Taylor's brutal 2023 fight with Dakota Mortensen.

A source connected to "The Bachelorette" tells us no one at ABC had seen the video before TMZ posted it Thursday morning.

As we first reported, Taylor and Dakota have been ordered to undergo psych exams amid a fresh batch of spousal abuse claims ... and the Utah Division of Children and Family Services is investigating ongoing allegations of violence between them.

Afroman says he forgives the Ohio law enforcement officers who sued him for mocking them in music videos after they raided his home ... but that doesn't mean he will shy away from performing the songs.

The rapper tells TMZ ... he'll continue to play the two songs at the heart of the lawsuit he just beat in court ... "Lemon Pound Cake" and "Will You Help Me Repair My Door."

Afroman used home security footage of the raid in the music videos ... and the sheriff's deputies sued, claiming the tracks caused them mental distress.

The newest season of "The Bachelorette" is toast, and ABC is turning to one of its other staples to fill the time slot after Taylor Frankie Paul's crash out ... at least for this Sunday.

Our sources confirmed a rerun of "American Idol" will play in place of "The Bachelorette" on March 22, but that's just the plan for this week. We're told the network brass hasn't yet figured out a permanent replacement for the remainder of the canned season.

TMZ broke the news ... Taylor's 'Bachelorette' season was canceled hours after we posted the 2023 video of her fighting with her baby daddy, Dakota Mortensen.

ABC just pulled the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" ... and now, their promo to hype the show is all a big waste.

TMZ has learned ABC planned a "House of Roses" premiere party at Nya Studios West in Los Angeles Sunday to celebrate TFP's journey to finding love -- and it's canned. The "immersive pop-up" was offering a sneak peek at Taylor's season and even a chance to experience one-on-ones and group dates. Fans were also promised exclusive goodies and photo ops throughout the free event.

We broke the news ... ABC cut Taylor's show -- set to debut Sunday -- after TMZ published video that shows her brutalizing her baby daddy Dakota Mortensen in 2023, which led to her arrest for assault charges. She pleaded guilty to a felony count under a deal that reduced her felony charge to a misdemeanor in three years if she abided by the agreement.

19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi was publicly executed in Iran on Thursday for participating in protests against the Khamenei regime.

He and two other people were hanged "in the presence of a group of people in Qom," according to the Iran Human Rights non-government organization.

The IHRNGO says Mohammadi, Saeed Davodi and Mehdi Ghasemi were accused of being involved with the murders of two police officers during recent nationwide unrest -- prior to the country being attacked by the U.S. and Israel -- and are the first people to be hanged over these protests.

Combat athlete and human rights activist Nima Far told Fox News Saleh's hanging was "a blatant political murder" on Iran's part, accusing the regime of targeting athletes "to crush dissent and terrorize society."

IHRNGO Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said Saleh's trial was "grossly unfair" and said he was tortured and coerced into confessing.

Amiry-Moghaddam warned that protesters are at "risk of mass executions" ... saying, "The Islamic Republic is fighting for its survival and knows that the greatest threat to its existence comes from the Iranian people who demand fundamental change."

Nima told Fox News that Iran should be banned from international competitions "until it halts executions of protesters and athletes, releases those jailed in sham trials, and ends retaliation against competitors who speak out or defect."
