Jessica Bond Ferguson -- the mom who shot and killed an escaped monkey Sunday to protect her kids -- wishes the whole thing never happened ... she told TMZ.

The mother of 5 told us, "I wish it didn't have to happen that way. I just wish they took better measures in taking care of it and trying to find them."

As you know ... a truck carrying Rhesus monkeys from a research center overturned in rural Mississippi last week -- 21 monkeys onboard nearly escaped the vehicle.

Halloween might be over ... but that didn't stop Jenelle Evans from posting a belated holiday smoke-show gallery that's damn-near NSFW!

The "Teen Mom" star shared four snaps on Monday ... highlighting her curves and tattoos -- with something of an S&M flair.

JE was clearly feeling empowered ... and said so with the caption, "More than you can handle 👀🔥 Feeling more and more comfortable in my skin lately. Posting a special #HalloweenShoot late, You know where to find more 🎃 🤭"

A suspect in Toronto over the weekend had a pretty rough arrest ... 'cause he was accidentally run over by the same cop car, TWICE.

Here's the deal ... viral video shows police officers firing a Taser at a man in a parking lot, and he freezes up and falls to the ground. While cops rush over to cuff him, an officer in a cruiser behind them jumps out -- but apparently forgets to put the vehicle in park, as it rolls forward over the suspect's legs and hitting the officer on top of him.

As a couple of the cops push the SUV backward off the man, the driver gets back in ... and apparently guns it, rolling the front tires over the suspect, AGAIN. The cop finally hits it into reverse -- and toots the horn twice.

It didn't take long for Sean "Diddy" Combs to see a familiar face in prison ... because he ran across a famous basketball player from Brooklyn who he's known for years ... former NBA star Sebastian Telfair.

Diddy and Bassy are the most famous inmates doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and they hung out Saturday in the prison yard ... and we have photos from their chat.

We showed you pics of the Bad Boy Records founder laughing and chatting with a bunch of convicts ... and Sebastian's publicist tells us that's him talking to Diddy in a couple of the photos.

Jerry O'Connell didn't give up a game-winning home run or make the final out, but he's taking the blame for the Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss ... and it's all because of an outfit change.

The actor joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and chatted with us about his experience at the Fall Classic ... he went to games in Los Angeles and Toronto, but when he swapped his Dodgers gear for a Jays jersey, Toronto didn't win another game and blew their shot at dethroning the champs.

Jerry says folks noticed Toronto's misfortune with him on the bandwagon ... and he says he's the new version of the "Drake curse." Jerry's wearing it as a badge of honor, though.

Whoever said fishing is relaxing hasn't been to the new Bass Pro Shops in Odessa, Texas ... where a huge brawl broke out to christen the opening ... all caught on video.

The Odessa Police Department tells TMZ ... they responded to the disturbance Saturday at approximately 2:52 PM. Cops said two men started arguing while waiting in line for the restroom. The incident then turned physical.

It's unclear what exactly started the argument ... but in the video, you can see 4 men paired off in separate tussles, and then more guys start running in.

Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first child together ... and they're not going anywhere without their pregnancy pillow.

Pete carried the giant cushion for his girlfriend as they were snapped out and about in New York City. The two dressed comfortably in sweats and hoodies.

In addition to the pregnancy pillow, Pete also had a Goyard suitcase and other bags in tow. How chivalrous! Elsie followed behind her man in a leather jacket, joggers, and Uggs.

Victor Conte, a central figure in one of the biggest scandals in American sports history, has died at the age of 75 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

The post continued ... "We will Honor his Wishes. SNAC and his Legacy will Carry Forward, Strong and Forever. We LOVE you, Conte!"

Academy Award-nominated actress Diane Ladd -- actress Laura Dern's mother -- has died at the age of 89.

Ladd, known best for her roles in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and David Lynch's "Wild at Heart," died Monday at her home in Ojai, California, according to a statement from Laura Dern published by The Hollywood Reporter.

Ladd began her career on TV, appearing in various roles beginning in the 1950s, including "The Naked City" and "The Fugitive." She had minor film parts before her career on the silver screen kicked off in the '70s, acting in "White Lightning," "Chinatown," and "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore."

Olivia Barash -- known for her roles in "Repo Man" and "Little House on the Prairie" -- says she's facing the most devastating chapter of her life ... after suffering major health and financial issues.

The 60-year-old actress tells TMZ ... she suffered a stroke three weeks ago -- leaving her bedridden at her Los Angeles home -- as she continues to search for proper health care,  which she says she hasn't received.

On top of needing to take care of herself, she also needs to care for her dog ... and has "no family and hardly any friends left in Los Angeles" to lean on for help.

Worlds are colliding for a couple former Taylor Swift lovers ... because Tom Hiddleston and Joe Alwyn crossed paths across the pond ... with Tom watching Joe on stage.

Check out this photo floating around social media ... you see Tom and Joe walking out of a production of "The Lady From The Sea" Sunday night at the Bridge Theatre in London.

Joe stars in the play ... and it's interesting to see him leaving right behind Tom ... because Taylor was dating Tom back in 2016 when she dumped him for Joe.

Noor Alfallah is clearing the air about recent photos of her and Bill Maher leaving a Halloween party together ... telling TMZ there's no romance between them at all.

Here's the deal ... the pair were spotted leaving Vas J. Morgan and Michael Braun's Halloween party at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood Friday night ... laughing together sitting side by side in the backseat of a car.

Noor tells TMZ ... she and Bill are just friends who've known each other for a couple of years, live in the same neighborhood, and ended up at the same Halloween party ... one her mom and sister also attended.

Comedian Whitney Cummings is engaged ... but she's having a tough time spreading the news.

Whitney made the announcement Monday on her "Good For You" podcast, saying, "I got engaged last week ... and I don't know how to tell anybody."

She continued, "I'm embarrassed to even talk about it, and I'm trying to just get it out of the way."

Diplo made some tongue-in-cheek claims over the weekend that he dated Justin Trudeau -- and he kept the joke rolling with an IG selfie Monday, cozying up with the politician ... and his actual ex-GF Katy Perry!

Check it out -- the DJ posted a shot with Canada’s ex-PM, both pulling shocked faces for the camera ... with Katy in the background, totally unaware she was photobombing their little moment.

Diplo captioned the pic "the one that got away" ... a cheeky nod to Katy’s hit song and their brief fling back in 2014.

Police in Peru had their spidey senses tingling on Halloween ... because they busted three suspected drug dealers ... with the help of an undercover officer in costume as Spider-Man!

Check out this video from the National Police of Peru ... you see the Spider-Man cop and some of his fellow agents busting into a home and arresting a criminal group known as "Los Diabolicos de Malambitoo."

The three folks who were arrested on Halloween by Spider-Man and Co. were allegedly involved in drug trafficking ... and police say they seized 2,100 packets of cocaine paste and a bunch of cash.
