525lb Bear
Yogi on Steroids …
Come For My Picnic Basket, I’ll Invade Your House!!!
Published
Don’t come for this Altadena bear’s picnic basket — ’cause he’s so jacked, Animal Control couldn’t even tranquilize him to remove him from underneath a suburban home.
Here’s the deal … when a homeowner in the area returned to their home after the evacuation order related to the Eaton Fire near Pasadena was lifted, he called the utility company to get his service turned back on.
But, they said they couldn’t do it — ’cause the guy had a 525-pound bear living underneath his home!
It’s unclear how the massive mammal ended up underneath the home — tons of animals ended up in different areas of L.A. while attempting to escape flames from the wildfires … but, it’s unclear if that’s what happened here.
When experts from the California Department of Fish and Wildfire arrived, they took one look at the big ol’ bear and decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to tranquilize this behemoth while he was under the house … so, instead they filled a trap full of delicious goods and waited for the bear to come out.
He came out of the crawlspace within minutes, according to the Fish and Wildlife team, who trapped the creature … and, they took him to Angeles National Forest, where they collared him for future tracking, and ultimately released him.
Neighbors told a local outlet in L.A. that they know the bear from the area — and have affectionately named him “Barry.”
So, for anyone thinking about taking a nap in Barry’s bed or stealing his porridge, be warned … this bear’s creatine intake is just right — and, it’s gonna be hard for the Department of Wildlife and Fish to take him down.

Heart-wrenching videos of Ian Epstein, one of the American Airlines flight attendants who tragically died in the Washington, D.C. plane crash, are going viral – and the devastating impact of his loss is really hitting home.
The clip shows Ian entertaining passengers on past flights, cracking jokes, making witty remarks, and even singing and dancing down the aisle — his family tells TMZ he died doing what he loved.
His family said he loved his career because he truly enjoyed traveling and meeting new people — something that’s clearly evident in the clips flooding online … featuring him brightening the cabin with his humor and personality.
His loved ones shared that his focus was always his family, saying he was a father, stepfather, husband, and brother — and that he’ll truly be missed.
They tell us they appreciate the outpouring of love and support but are asking for privacy as they process and grieve their loss.
Ian and fellow flight attendant Danasia Elder were among the 67 lives tragically lost in Wednesday night’s midair collision between an American Airlines flight and a military helicopter. The cause of the catastrophe is still under investigation.
Travis Kelce
Sorry, Taylor …
I’m Missing The Grammys
Published
Looks like Taylor Swift will be rolling stag to this weekend’s Grammys … TMZ Sports has learned her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, isn’t making it out to Hollywood for the big event.
The Kansas City Chiefs star instead, sources familiar with the situation tell us, will be sticking with his team … as it continues its preparations for its Super Bowl matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.
Kelce’s planned absence, of course, should surprise nobody … as he also skipped out on being Taylor’s plus-one for last year’s Grammys — in order to prep for the Chiefs’ SB game against the 49ers.
The decision ultimately worked out well for the couple … as you know, Kelce and the Chiefs ended up winning the Big Game, and the duo was able to party all night together to celebrate the championship.
Kelce said back in 2024 he was disappointed he couldn’t watch his girl win during one of the music industry’s biggest nights … and he almost certainly feels similar this go-around, because Taylor’s up for six awards — and is also presenting one other.
But, it’s nothing a third straight Lombardi Trophy won’t fix … we’re sure.
A$AP Rocky, Rihanna
Work, Work, Work Up an Appetite …
After Contentious Court Day
Published
TMZ.com
Rihanna is staying solid by A$AP Rocky‘s side as he faces the heat in his assault trial in Los Angeles … taking the rapper for dinner again at one of their favorite spots to end the day.
We spotted RiRi and Rocky trying to keep a low profile last night as they left Wally’s in Beverly Hills — a celebrity hotspot frequented by the “Umbrella” singer in the past.
As they made a speedy exit together, Rihanna and Rocky didn’t utter a word about the ongoing trial … hopping into a black SUV and taking off into the night.
It’s clear the performers, who’ve been together over 4 years and share 2 children, are putting up a united front as Rocky faces off against former friend A$AP Relli in court.
TMZ broke the story … Rihanna always planned to attend her man’s trial in order to support him, showing up first on Wednesday, then making a second appearance Thursday.
She sat in the gallery both days between Rocky’s mother and sister … occasionally pulling focus with her couture courtroom looks.
Rocky currently faces 2 felony charges of assault with a semiautomatic weapon … over claims he pulled a gun on Relli and opened fire on him back in 2021. He rejected a plea deal from the prosecution last week … with his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, telling TMZ they shot down the offer as Rocky has always “maintained his innocence.”

Despite everything, A$AP kept his cool as he strolled into court for day 5 of his trial, rocking a cream suit with a brown tie.
If convicted, Rihanna’s partner faces up to 24 years in prison … though he doesn’t seem too concerned as they keep going out to dinner in style this week.
