Prosecutors in Texas are considering criminal charges against the punk who beat the crap out of a fellow student at a junior high school … TMZ has learned.

The attack happened Friday morning at Hardwood Junior High in Bedford, Texas and viral video shows a student repeatedly punching his peer in the head as he kneels on top of his victim … finishing off the beatdown, as he’s pulled to his feet, with a kick to the other kid’s face.

Bedford Police Chief Bobby LaPenna tells TMZ … the student who allegedly committed the assault was “detained” by police and the case will be referred to the Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Center.

Cops say a Bedford PD officer working as the school resource officer responded to the fight and “took control of one student” … with the school nurse treating the other student for injuries.

In the video, you see a cop going after the student who threw all the punches … and you also see a teacher try to break up the fight, without putting his coffee down.

Kim Kardashian is not taking legal action against Lana Del Rey over claims the singer didn’t properly refer to a SKIMS campaign as a paid advertisement online … TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ … the claims that KK is going to sue the “Tough” singer over a 2024 Valentine’s Day Collection featuring Lana are categorically false.

The made-up allegations began to spread like wildfire on social media and in the press over the weekend with claims Kim’s brand SKIMS was going to sue Lana for $1 million because her two posts for the Valentine’s Day campaign did not include an “#ad” or “paid partnership” tag.

The social media and press reports also claimed because Lana didn’t include the two tags in her posts for Kim’s brand that she violated part of the Federal Trade Commission guidelines.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are recalling their space odyssey for the first time … including the moment they knew they had a ride home.

Butch and Suni sat down with FOX News for their first interview since being rescued from the International Space Station and they explained their thoughts and emotions when they finally had a date on the calendar they could circle after spending 9 months stranded in space.

Elon Musk‘s SpaceX Dragon capsule brought them home after 286 days in the final frontier … and Suni describes her immediate reaction when the spacecraft that would bring them back to Earth docked at the ISS.

Butch and Suni were also asked about Elon and President Trump‘s role in their rescue mission … and Butch explained why he was grateful and how they earned his trust. Suni said she was glad they got involved.

As you know … Wilmore and Williams, two test pilots, were only supposed to be in space for 8 days … they flew the Boeing Starliner to the ISS in June 2024, but due to thruster issues and helium leaks, NASA decided to return the spacecraft to Earth completely empty — forcing their unexpected staycation in space.

It’s worth noting … they were never actually “stranded” — Butch and Suni arrived at the ISS prepared for an extended stay in the event something on the mission went sideways. NASA considered whether the two could fly back on the Boeing Starliner, but NASA vetoed them getting on that return trip due to safety concerns.

They also had the opportunity to return in September, but they opted to stay, because the SpaceX craft sent up at the time kept 2 crew members off the flight, to allow Buch and Suni seats for the ride back … but that would have left no replacements on the ISS if they had departed. So they stayed.
