A pesky wasp caused quite the headache for one journalist who lost her sh*t on camera while trying to swat the bug away with her notebook.

Sara O'Kane -- a British ITV news reporter based in Northern Ireland -- battled the aggravating insect as she delivered her live report about the murders of a mom and her two children Wednesday evening.

As you can see from the video ... O'Kane is wrapping up her story when the wasp suddenly flies onto her shirt and then starts buzzing around her face -- and her eyes.

"Happy Gilmore 2" is almost here ... but those who can't wait to see Bad Bunny on their screens got a nice treat on Thursday -- a brief, and somehow sexy, clip of Benito's character with a bucket of honey.

BB plays the role of Oscar in the Adam Sandler sequel ... a project that's chock full of massive names like Travis Kelce, AEW wrestler MJF, golfers John Daly, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy and musician Kid Cudi.

There's been a lot of hype surrounding Mr. Bunny's involvement ... and Netflix decided not to wait until Friday to peel back the curtain on his acting chops.

Erik Menendez has undergone a second "successful" surgery for complications related to his kidney stones ... and is expected to go back under the knife soon -- this, according to his daughter, Talia.

Talia posted the medical update late Wednesday evening on an Instagram account she runs on behalf of her father through marriage, explaining he needed surgery due to his kidneys "having multiple large stones."

Talia -- daughter of Erik and Tammi Menendez -- added Erik is "currently in pain and feeling nauseous, but is recovering" and that the family is under a great deal of stress over the medical scare.

All-white ain't right -- this according to Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, who is appalled by the white folks-only membership group based in his state.

Griffin tells TMZ ... "Racial discrimination has no place in Arkansas or anywhere in a free society." He adds the prejudice community, called Return to the Land, brings about "all sorts of legal issues, including constitutional concerns" and that his office is looking into the matter.

As we reported ... RTTL  supports "traditional views and European ancestry" -- no Jewish people allowed. They're based in Northeast Arkansas but have plans to expand into Missouri.

Sink your teeth into this -- Ozzy Osbourne’s infamous bat-biting moment just got a jaw-dropping twist ... 'cause TMZ’s learned it took some fang-tastic bite power to rip that poor critter’s head clean off.

Kathryn Slater -- marketing & PR queen at Bat Conservation International in Austin -- tells TMZ that Ozzy likely worked his jaw strength over time to chomp through a bat’s muscle, tissue, and bone. But in the heat of the moment -- fueled by pure rockstar adrenaline -- Ozzy made it look freakishly easy.

Ozzy’s boundary-pushing stage stunt back in '82 has long been etched in rock ’n’ roll infamy -- and while the Prince of Darkness rushed straight to the hospital for a rabies shot, Kathryn is quick to clear up the myth ... most bats aren’t rabid, so Ozzy probably didn’t need to freak out over a fang-filled encore.

Texas A&M's live mascot, Reveille X, underwent surgery Wednesday to remove one of her eyes ... but, thankfully, the university said the procedure went well and she's now at home "resting comfortably."

TAMU president Mark A. Welsh III announced in a statement the collie had been having "discomfort and cloudiness in her right eye," and after vets checked it out, they determined an operation was the best course of action.

"I’m grateful to report that Miss Rev has come through the surgery successfully," Welsh III said ... before adding she's "been discharged and is resting comfortably."

Bryan Kohberger brutally "disfigured" Kaylee Goncalves' face and fought through a violent struggle with Xana Kernodle before fleeing the scene of the University of Idaho murders ... according to newly unsealed police reports.

Moscow Police documents just released say the November 2022 killings were even more savage than initially reported -- describing Goncalves' injuries as so severe her face was left unrecognizable. The responding police officer noted the disfigurement in his report, while others called the crime scene a bloodbath.

On the floor below, Kohberger clashed with Kernodle after she either saw or heard him kill her roommates upstairs. The police sergeant wrote that "an intense struggle" clearly took place, and Kernodle had deep defensive wounds between her fingers -- evidence she fought for her life.

As many as three NFL legends could be throwing hands on the upcoming Adrian Peterson fight card ... as Le'Veon Bell just told TMZ Sports he's got interest in boxing Frank Gore at the event.

We caught up with the former Pittsburgh Steelers tailback out at LAX this week ... and given he once knocked out Peterson in the squared circle, we had to ask about the upcoming tilt between A.P. and his poker rival, Joe "Baby Joe" Castaneda.

Bell said he believes his ex-NFL colleague will win ... before he informed us he'd actually be down to mix it up in a bout just prior to the Peterson vs. Castaneda main event.

American theatre director, writer, and actor Whit Hertford was 14 years old when he was cast to play the "volunteer kid" -- the young boy skeptical of dinasours, calling a Velociraptor a "six-foot turkey" -- in Steven Spielberg's 1993 adventure sci-fi film "Jurassic Park."

Whit shared the big screen with Laura Dern as the strong and smart paleobotanist, Ellie, Jeff Goldblum as the sarcastic and comical mathematician, Ian, and Sam Neill as the world-renowned dinosaur expert who doesn't necessarily want kids, Alan.

Hertford was also on the Fox comedy "Raising Hope."

The two NYC "crypto bros" accused of kidnapping and torturing an Italian millionaire to extract his Bitcoin password were granted $1 million bail each.

A Manhattan Supreme Court Justice handed down the decision on Wednesday for John Woeltz and William Duplessie, ordering neither can use cryptocurrency to post bail. If they have the funds, the pair will be released into home confinement with electronic monitoring and passport surrender pending trial.

Celebrity bail bondsman Ira Judelson will put together the bail packages for both men and fit them with ankle monitors.

7:38 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained Tonia Haddix's latest mug shot from Phelps County jail ... after being transferred from Camden County jail.

As you can see, the chimp lover looks a bit disheveled and down in her latest snap.

"Chimp Crazy" star Tonia Haddix -- the Missouri woman who once faked her beloved chimp Tonka’s death – is back in hot water ... and this time, she’s behind bars.

The 55-year-old exotic animal broker was arrested Saturday after a judge threw her in jail for dodging court orders to cough up $224k in legal fees owed to PETA. But get this ... when officials raided her home, they found another hidden chimpanzee living in her basement.

In court docs obtained by Rolling Stone, authorities say Haddix was secretly stashing a "mature female chimp" in a makeshift enclosure, complete with blankets, a Gatorade bottle, and half-eaten candy. They safely removed the ape during a surprise search earlier this month.

Missourians might have some close-minded new neighbors soon ... 'cause a whites-only community is thinking about expanding into the state.

Return to the Land is a private membership group that supports "traditional views and European ancestry" ... reading between the lines, it's a group of white people who think diversity's a problem in the melting pot -- and advocating for association with individuals who have a "common ancestry." They currently have a community based in Northeast Arkansas.

BTW ... only a certain type of person with European ancestors can join -- no Jewish people allowed in these communities.

Lisa Vanderpump has no time or interest in Scheana Shay's accusations she built a TV empire on Scheana’s real-life pain … telling us she’s unbothered.

We caught up with LVP in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, where she didn’t hold back when asked about Scheana's recent remarks -- namely that Vanderpump used her affair with Eddie Cibrian to fuel TV drama, referencing the infamous 2013 "RHOBH" episode where LVP introduced Shay to Cibrian's ex, Brandi Glanville.

"I don't care what she says," Vanderpump told us. "I'm more concerned about Ozzy Osbourne dying -- that's the saddest thing. Important things are what matter to me, not her bulls**t."

Stevie Wonder is feeling the weight of losing Malcolm-Jamal Warner, telling TMZ that while he’s kept relatively quiet about the tragedy so far, it doesn’t mean his heart isn’t hurting.

We caught up with the icon leaving lunch in Brentwood on Wednesday, where he shared that he didn’t just remember Warner from "The Cosby Show," but as a fellow musician, he shared a Grammy with after teaming up on "Jesus Children of America" to raise money for Sandy Hook victims.

Stevie spoke about how important Warner’s truth-telling spirit was, especially in a world that often gets lost in lies -- adding he hoped his legacy inspires a new generation of voices to keep pushing things forward.
