Ben Askren's life turned upside down in 2025 ... he battled severe pneumonia that resulted in a 59-day hospital stay and a double lung transplant ... but thankfully, he tells TMZ Sports he's going into the New Year moving in a "positive direction."

The former MMA star said at times it feels like his health scare was a "bad dream." While there's not much he remembers from those days ... he says there are still lessons to take away from the whole ordeal ... citing a book called "Finish Empty" by Josh Metcalf, which gave him a good perspective.

"I kind of died once, you know, like for all intents and purposes, left Earth for 40 days," Askren said. "I had no real communication to anyone. I had no recollection of anything. So I get to kind of reflect on like, okay, had I not woken back up? How do I feel about what I did prior to this time?"

Before this brown-haired boy turned into a shining star, he was just growing up in Vancouver, Canada, and dreaming of Hollywood's big flashing lights!

He's a self-taught musician who's a big punk and horror fan! ... Mike Wheeler in "Stranger Things."

4:01 PM PT -- The White House is denying a report in the Wall Street Journal that President Trump's Mar-a-Lago spa in Florida used to send teenage workers to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tells TMZ … "It's shameful the Wall Street Journal is wasting their once great paper writing up fallacies and innuendo in order to smear President Trump and distract from his historic first year back in office."

Leavitt adds ... "No matter how many times this story is told and retold, the truth remains: President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep."

She continues ... "Now, it's President Trump’s own Justice Department that is releasing hundreds of thousands of pages of documents related to Epstein and his crimes."

Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein may be even worse than previously thought ... according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.

The WSJ says DT's Mar-a-Lago spa in Florida would send teenage workers to Epstein's mansion, despite it being an open secret among the staff that the billionaire would sometimes expose himself during appointments.

According to the publication, the practice stopped in 2003 when an unnamed 18-year-old employee complained that Epstein "pressured her for sex."

Zach Bryan is a married man!

The country singer and songwriter said "I do" just months after confirming his relationship with his now-bride, Samantha Leonard. The wedding went down in San Sebastian, Spain ... the happy newlyweds jumped into a convertible and drove away.

Last night, Zach posted what appears to be a photo of his groomsmen last night ... possibly a hint at the impending nuptials?

We first got confirmation of their relationship from an Instagram post Zach shared October 18, wishing Samantha a happy birthday.

Brooklyn Beckham is once again at the center of the Beckham family drama ... this time thanks to a glaring absence from dad David Beckham's 2025 Instagram recap.

The retired soccer superstar posted a 20-photo carousel Wednesday, reflecting on what he called unforgettable moments from the past year. While David proudly featured wife Victoria Beckham and three of their children -- Romeo, Cruz and Harper -- his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

The slideshow kicked off with a smiling photo of David and Victoria gazing at each other, followed by a family shot that notably excluded Brooklyn. David went on to share individual, one-on-one pictures with each of his kids except his firstborn.

A Walt Disney World 'Indiana Jones' employee won't experience their 'Last Crusade' after being smashed by a prop boulder ... because the park says the worker is recovering.

Here's the deal ... video went viral Tuesday of a live "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular" show going off the rails -- and, we mean that literally, because a fake boulder jumped the track and started bouncing toward the rail ... right at the crowded audience.

An adventurous staffer rushed forward to try and stop the boulder ... but, he ended up knocked down to the ground and bloody.

A body found in a field in Texas Tuesday evening has been identified as missing 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who disappeared on Christmas Eve ... and local law enforcement says she took her own life.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday the body was confirmed as Camila, and the medical examiner ruled her death a suicide ... a gunshot wound to the head.

As we reported, Bexar County and FBI investigators found the corpse around 4:40 to 4:45 PM local time Tuesday amid a frantic weeklong search for Camila in the San Antonio area.

NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin is speaking out for the first time since his father, Dennis Hamlin, died in a house fire owned by Denny.

In a social media post Wednesday, Denny says ... "Thank you to everyone who has reached out with condolences on my father's passing."

Denny's mother, Mary Lou, was also home when the fire broke out, and she was hospitalized with critical injuries ... but it sounds like she's making progress in her recovery.

The crack is back, but can you guess which Hollywood hottie put her buns on full display in this eye-popping shot?! Here are a few clues for ya:

She's a model, deejay and influencer from Las Vegas, Nevada. She's the founder of "Smoke Roses," a lifestyle brand known for organic rose petal smoking products.

A Florida man has been accused of committing a robbery ... while wearing almost nothing  but his birthday suit.

Officers from the Lake City Police Department responded to reports about a robbery at a meat market Tuesday evening ... according to the arrest affidavit obtained by TMZ.

Authorities said Kobe Latrey Watkins walked into the meat market in the nude -- save for a covering on his face. He was also holding something wrapped in a cloth, which the store's employees believed was a weapon.

Watkins reportedly broke into the store's cash box and stole $1,000 before he took off. No one in the store was hurt during the incident.

Stefon Diggs will continue to receive a ton of support from the New England Patriots because he's super talented, while his teammate Christian Barmore might not get the same backing ... so says a sports executive with years of experience in the business.

We spoke with Andrew Brandt -- a Villanova Law School professor who worked for years as an agent and executive with the Green Bay Packers -- on "TMZ Live" Wednesday ... and we had to ask him about the Pats' statement of support for Diggs after he was charged with strangulation and assault.

Brandt tells us if you read between the lines of the Patriots statement, you can tell the organization's pissed they have to deal with this off-the-field attention while they should be celebrating an AFC East Division title.
