A police standoff in Los Angeles featured a man allegedly shooting at an LAPD helicopter ... and TMZ obtained the insane video of the man firing bullets in the air!

In the footage, you see a man dressed in black pacing menacingly around the front yard of a home on West 76th Street ... and he flashes a handgun as the sound of a police helicopter circles overhead.

The man suddenly points the gun towards the sky and squeezes off several rounds as onlookers comment that he's shooting towards a helicopter.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's in for a career change ... because she's leaving the House next year.

MTG has been the U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district since 2021.

Stefon Diggs cut the cord and then Cardi B turned it into gold ... because Cardi took their newborn son's umbilical cord and got it transformed into a pendant.

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper enlisted Mommy Made Encapsulations to turn the umbilical cord into some heart-shaped, gold jewelry.

In the video shared online, Mommy Made Encapsulation takes folks through the transformative process ... the umbilical cord is shaped into a heart, dehydrated and then dipped in gold chrome.

The influencer at the center of Stefon Diggs' defamation lawsuit is fighting back ... filing a counterclaim accusing the NFL star of lying, and exposing himself during a car ride.

TMZ Sports obtained the countersuit on Friday, in which Christopher Blake Griffith denied the claims Diggs made in his defamation suit filed back in October, in which the football star claimed the social media influencer fabricated allegations regarding an incident at Diggs' Maryland home on May 22, 2023.

Griffith claims that night, he and Diggs went to several clubs around Washington, D.C., and at one point, Chris ate a "candy" Stefon repeatedly offered him. Shortly after, he says he began to feel disoriented and believes the candy contained a drug or some other substance.

Marshawn Kneeland was driving 145+ MPH before crashing into another vehicle and fleeing on foot the night of his tragic death, a police report obtained by TMZ Sports indicates.

Kneeland was observed speeding by an officer from the Texas Department of Public Safety at 10:33 PM on November 5, prompting police to follow the 24-year-old.

The cop says he spotted MK driving recklessly, making "several unsafe lane changes" as he passed other motorists, hitting "speeds higher than 145 miles per hour."

Despite attempting to pull Kneeland over using lights and sirens, the officer says he didn't comply, and soon after, the Charger was no longer visible.

Minutes later, police say they found the vehicle, which had lost control and crashed into another vehicle, ultimately coming to a rest in a grass field on the Dallas Parkway, but Kneeland was nowhere to be found.

During a quick search of the black Charger, an empty holster was found ... but no gun was located.

Authorities say they set up a perimeter using K-9s and aircraft, all in an attempt to find Kneeland.

Adding to the urgency to find Marshawn, his girlfriend, Catalina, told cops the defensive lineman messaged her to say goodbye.

Despite the best efforts of police, several hours passed with no sign of Kneeland ... until around 1:30 AM when a heat signature was located inside a portable toilet.

Sadly, when officers reached the area, it was too late. Marshawn was found with a fatal, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The report also says officials from Frisco PD and TX DPS met with representatives from the Dallas Cowboys at the scene.

Kneeland was drafted in the 2nd round out of Western Michigan in 2024, and was in the middle of his second season in Big D.

As you'd expect, news of Marshawn's death has rocked the Cowboys ... who dedicated Monday night's win to his honor.

R.I.P.

Porsha Williams will NOT face criminal charges after getting into a dispute with a passenger on a recent Delta Airlines flight ... her attorney tells TMZ.

Porsha’s attorney Joe Habachy tells TMZ … "We just received word from the United States Attorney's Office that they have determined that 'no crime has been committed,' and that the FBI 'will not pursue any further investigative actions regarding this matter.'"

Habachy adds ... "While Ms. Williams is certainly pleased to have received this news today, we cannot say that we are surprised given that there was never a physical encounter and given that the allegations made against Ms. Williams by this unhinged passenger were blatantly false from the beginning."

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are splitting up after nearly 15 years together ... according to a heartfelt social media post from Kandi.

The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star shared the news Friday afternoon ... telling fans that after much thought and prayer she's decided to file for divorce.

While an emotional and difficult time, Kandi says she plans to focus on "protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect."

Ashtyn Zerboni says she feels she was totally vilified on "Selling the O.C." ... claiming her fellow castmembers treated her poorly, and the show itself made her look like the villain.

We caught up with the reality star on Hollywood Boulevard earlier this week ... and, we asked her how she felt she was treated on the fourth season of the show, which came out last week. She replied by accusing others on the program of bullying her.

Zerboni points out she was pregnant on the show and going through a lot already ... and, she didn't get any grace from her costars like she might've hoped. Plus, she adds, reality television twists and distorts everything -- in this case, making her seem like the bad guy.

11:39 AM PT -- Logan Logan Henderson is now on the mend and he even returned to the stage to perform this past weekend.

Big Time Rush’s Logan Henderson was, uh ... rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after a big-time bloody injury he suffered onstage -- and it’s seriously graphic, so brace yourself before checking out the pic!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the band was in Krakow, Poland, on their sold-out European tour Thursday when things took a turn -- they slid down a set piece, Logan smacked his leg on something, and his knee just busted wide open. Big yikes.

This all went down toward the end of the show during one of their high-energy numbers, "Love Me Love Me" -- and the gash in his knee was so gnarly, the doctor had to close it with one giant suture to help it heal properly.

Anna Kepner -- the teen who tragically died on the Carnival Horizon earlier this month -- died from asphyxiation caused by a "bar hold" after someone’s arm was placed across her neck, according to a new report.

A source close to the investigation tells ABC News FBI agents found two bruises on the side of Anna’s neck after she was choked by an unidentified person ... The source also said preliminary information indicates there were no signs of sexual assault and no drugs or alcohol in the 18-year-old’s system.

The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner is still working to determine a cause of death.

One of Keith Urban's fans -- who looks a lot like the country star -- says he got the inside track on the Nicole Kidman divorce weeks before the world did ... and he got it straight from the singing horse's mouth.

Dale Whiteside tells TMZ ... he had the most bizarre interaction with Keith during a September meet-and-greet at the singer's Saskatoon, Canada stop on his "High and Alive" world tour.

Dale strongly resembles Keith, and he says the musician was blown away when they connected prior to the Sept. 15 concert, and while they chopped it up ... that's when Keith strongly hinted at the big D.

President Trump's capped his week by playing host yet again at the White House ... this time his guest was New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani.

While Trump and Mamdani -- a registered Democrat and self-identified democratic socialist --have a lot of political differences, they mostly focused on shared interests in what they both called a great meeting ... telling reporters they're laser-focused on bringing down the cost of living in the Big Apple.

Trump and Mamdani were cordial and complimentary, and Trump said he thinks Mamdani has a chance to make NYC great again and said the federal government will do what it can to help ... without getting into specifics.

Artificial intelligence can put sound and lyrics together no problem ... but, it can't capture the heart of a human artist -- so says a country music star.

Here's the deal ... an A.I.-generated song titled "Walk My Walk" has gone viral in recent days -- with many vibing to the robot-manufactured hit.

However, one man who didn't like the track one bit was Blanco Brown ... who decided to race the proverbial steam engine just like John Henry, and create his own version of the song using an all-human team of producers, engineers and more.

President Donald Trump is now insisting he didn't threaten any members of Congress with death ... but, he does think they're in hot water.

The 47th president discussed his controversial comments in an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade Friday morning ... telling Brian that in the past those pols might've been on their way to the gallows.

That said, Trump adds, the senators and reps should be in big trouble ... because he says he certainly would be if he made the same comments with a Democrat in the Oval Office.

Elizabeth Hurley's son says rumors about Billy Ray Cyrus are achy-breakin' his heart ... insisting the country star's a great guy no matter what anyone says about him.

Damian Hurley posted about her mom's new squeeze on Instagram Friday ... starting the post acknowledging he's been in the public eye since the day he was born -- and he tries not to comment on all the BS he reads about his family.

However, Damian writes he's breaking the rule because he can't stand by while everyone slanders BRC ... "one of the sweetest men" Damian's ever met, he adds.
