The Milton mansion, originally listed for $6 million amid their messy 2023 divorce, finally found a buyer for $2.75 million last month ... after what felt like an eternity of price cuts and auction threats.

Steven Bertolino, attorney for Brian Laundrie’s parents, Chris and Roberta, tells TMZ the doc just rehashes what’s already been blasted in the press and in court, but says it's exactly what they expected -- one perspective, twisted into the "truth" from their POV.

He compared it to the constant back-and-forth between Republicans and Democrats, saying each side thinks they’re right, so it's hard to see things from the other viewpoint when there's so much noise and distrust.

The former 'Daily Show' host discussed the controversial topic on his podcast "What Now? with Trevor Noah," suggesting segregation may have been for the best.

The elderly gentleman was just another tourist checking out the "lucky" croc at Indonesia’s Cimory Dairyland, after it was reportedly saved from a flood last week -- but as you can see, the resting croc ignores the man's food offering, and suddenly chomps down on his arm and yanks him into the water.

The footage is straight out of everyone's worst nightmare -- this poor grandpa was tossed around in the water like a rag doll, while onlookers screamed in pure panic.

The father of NFL star Patrick Mahomes II made the admission on Feb. 13, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, as officials were questioning him about his trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX.

The docs state Mahomes Sr. -- who was placed on probation last year after pleading guilty to a charge of DWI third or more -- was given permission to travel to watch his son in Louisiana from Feb. 7 through Feb. 10 ... but when he got into a squabble with Rocker, and then subsequently missed a urine test on Feb. 11, officials wanted to know more.

Kevin kicked off his grandpa's birthday vibes by sharing the first IG pic of his mom's reunion with her dad for his big 9-4 Monday -- and Wendy was clearly soaking in every second of her freedom during her break from the assisted living facility.

Wendy was serving up major glam with her new glossy blonde 'do, holding her dad's birthday card with the caption on Kevin's post reading, "Happy I could make this happen for you Papa.. I said by any means and I kept my word."

Check it out ... the commercial airliner flying from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Ontario is captured by an eyewitness with a camera coming in for a landing Monday afternoon.

As soon as the tires hit the snowy tarmac, the plane erupts in flames and skids before spinning around until it finally comes to a stop in a large plume of black smoke.

Another day, another plane issue ... but the good news is this one didn't crash.

Yet, it seems Eastar Jet needs to get its staff in order after several of the South Korean airline's flight attendants were caught opening an emergency door and stepping out onto the wing of a commercial airline to pose for photographs.
