A woman went through absolute hell -- sprinting to dive into a pool after her drunk partner set her on fire while she was holding their 3-year-old son.

It’s all caught on chilling video -- the 22-year-old woman from rural Cuparaque, Brazil is seen literally engulfed in flames as she dashes to a neighbor’s garden and dives into their pool ... all while her partner chases her down, with their terrified son caught up in the chaos, trotting closely behind.

The woman hurls herself into the water, and the flames are instantly snuffed out in a cloud of steam. A second man -- believed to be the pool owner -- rushes to help.

A Southwest Airlines passenger went off the rails -- screaming, spiraling, and getting dragged off the plane in a full-blown meltdown caught on camera.

Multiple videos captured the chaos this week on a flight from NYC's LaGuardia to Kansas City -- an unidentified woman went berserk, attacking another female passenger and clinging to her hair for dear life, refusing to let go as others tried to peel her off ... without making things worse.

The belligerent passenger was certainly going through it ... insisting she wasn’t even touching the woman’s hair, despite a handful of the woman's locks in her fist -- full-on spiraling, hurling offensive slurs not just at her target but at everyone around her.

Hulk Hogan is NOT on his last legs -- TMZ Sports is told the WWE legend was hospitalized to address lingering neck and back issues this week ... but he is by no means on his deathbed.

The speculation started when local radio guy Bubba the Love Sponge went on air and stated he heard the wrestling icon was in bad shape -- to the point where his loved ones were getting called in to say their goodbyes.

Bubba couched a lot of his intel ... claiming his source was rock solid, but things could have changed since his last communication with them.

Bad blood clearly remains between Bill Belichick's current girlfriend and his former one ... as Jordon Hudson was spotted on Tuesday throwing shade at Linda Holliday.

The dig from Hudson came on her Instagram page ... as she was shoveling praise on one of her beauty pageant friends, Melissa Sapini.

On a carousel of Sapini-related photos, Hudson wrote a lengthy caption that congratulated the former Miss Massachusetts winner on completing her run with the crown. Toward the end is where she placed her Holliday jab.

Jax Taylor is eating humble pie after his latest antics, apologizing to estranged wife Brittany Cartwright -- and the viewing public -- and it's because Andy Cohen's calling him out big time!

Andy dropped the truth bomb on Tuesday’s "Watch What Happens Live," telling Jax that fans were livid about him having a platform on "The Valley" -- prompting Jax to admit watching himself in previous episodes was mortifying.

Jax said no one should ever endure the way he acted, especially not Brittany. He didn't hesitate in apologizing to her ... but not after acknowledging it had been a rough year for both of them.

Can you guess which sexy star put her summer bum on full display in this eye-popping selfie?! We're guilty of flashing you her hot shots last week, but we just couldn't help ourselves for Round 2!

It's like right out of a Hitchcock movie, but not really ... the judge pulled the plug in the Diddy trial Wednesday after learning one of the jurors came down with vertigo.

We don't know the underlying condition of the juror in question, but the evidence was truly head-spinning this week, with jurors fixated on various freak-off videos.

Jurors put on their headphones Tuesday and watched around 10 minutes of the vids, featuring sex scenes between Diddy, Cassie, and male escorts. You could hear a pin drop in the courtroom, as the peanut gallery heard moans bleeding through the headphones.

R. Kelly should absolutely not be pardoned -- 'cause one of his alleged victims, Joycelyn Savage, has been missing for years and is still believed to be in his grip and under his control, her family’s attorney tells TMZ.

Gerald Griggs -- attorney for Joycelyn’s family -- tells TMZ they’re slamming Kelly’s push for a Trump pardon ... insisting the singer still has a grip on Joycelyn, who they haven’t heard from since a short phone call back in 2019.

Watch the video ... Joycelyn's family has only heard from individuals claiming to represent her -- though it's unclear in what capacity. ICYDK, Joycelyn is R. Kelly's one-time fiancée, who many say is a victim. Her family believes she’s alive, hopes she’s healthy, and says they’d love nothing more than to hear from her directly.

Tucker Carlson went scorched earth on Ted Cruz ... blasting him for supporting Trump's aggressive policy on Iran while knowing the very basics about the country.

It's the best evidence so far there is a fissure in MAGA over U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts.

Tucker went right for the jugular ... asking Cruz if he knew the population of Iran. Ted threw up his hands, confessing ignorance. Tucker became his dramatic self as he laid into Cruz for his lack of knowledge.

"Step Up 2: The Streets" choreographer Dave Scott has died.

The beloved dancer died Monday, according to a post on his official Instagram account shared Tuesday.

Henry Ruggs opened up publicly on Tuesday for the first time since he was thrown behind bars for killing a woman and her dog in a horrific 2021 car crash ... and he admitted he would still "love to" play football again once he's out of custody.

The former NFL star got candid with questioners for roughly an hour at a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas ... in an effort to inspire current and former inmates during their journeys to successfully one day reenter society.

Ruggs touched on a bunch of topics in the chat -- including what led up to the November 2021 accident that changed his and so many other lives forever.

Caitlin Clark had a rough night Tuesday ‘cause she wound up on her ass after getting into one helluva fight with some players from the opposing team.

It all started in the third quarter of the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun's matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. The Fever's phenom locked horns with Sun point guard Jacy Sheldon and tensions boiled over in a big way.

Check out video, which shows Clark -- also a point guard -- dribbling the ball with Jacy aggressively blocking her from getting anywhere close to the basket.

Kamaru Usman spoke to TMZ Sports just days after he lost his belt to Leon Edwards three years ago ... and he vowed to make a triumphant return. It ended up taking far longer than he expected, but true to his word, the Nigerian Nightmare's back and squarely in the title picture!

"I remember coming on here and talking to you guys after I got kicked in the head by Leon Edwards," Usman told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show, reflecting on his 2022 loss and his motivation for moving forward.

"One of the biggest things that really hit me at that moment was the opportunity to prove to myself again that I can get up and do something and get back on the horse."

Taiwanese-American actor Mason Lee was at the prime age of 21 years old when he was cast to play Teddy -- the studious little brother who gets lost and loses a finger while on a wild bender in Bangkok -- in the 2011 follow-up film "The Hangover Part II."

Joining Lee in the silly shenanigans included Zach Galifianakis as the childish adult who shows a growing sense of maturity since the prequel, Alan, Ed Helms as the dentist grappling with his hangover from the night of partying, Stu and Bradley Cooper as the studly leader of "The Wolfpack," Phil.
