The new video of Alex Pretti busting the taillight of a federal vehicle days before being shot to death is very critical to the shooting ... but not for the reasons you might think.

Harvey Levin's been stewing on the new footage of Pretti violently clashing with federal immigration officers -- with a gun in the waistband of his pants -- 11 days before being shot and killed by CBP agents ... and he's got a lot of thoughts, and even more questions.

First off, Harvey says Alex clearly crossed a line and is lucky he didn't get arrested ... and he's also giving these agents props for using the appropriate amount of force with Alex.

Bow Wow and B2K crashed our live stream this morning ... laying out the details of their upcoming tour and offering to take Harvey Levin to a famous strip club in Atlanta, Georgia!

You have to see this ... while discussing who may or may not make a surprise appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show next month, BW switched the topic to the 2028 Super Bowl in Atlanta. Having grown up in the city, BW wants Harvey to come down ... but not for the game. The rapper said he's dying to take Harvey to the famed gentleman's club, Magic City!

Bow Wow kidded, "Every time me and Harvey talk, I always ask him!" joking that Harvey's been ducking him for years.

But the thing is ... the only strip club Harvey's been to in the last decade was a place called Plan B in Los Angeles ... and it was for the food!

Gideon Adlon says the wait is gonna be well worth it for "Euphoria" fans ... because she says the upcoming third season is going to be off the chain.

We got the actress at LAX on Wednesday and our photog asked her what folks can expect from her, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Zendaya.

In a word, Gideon says Season 3 is going to be wild ... kind of like her career as of late.

Ray J says doctors are giving him every drug under the sun in an attempt to prolong his life ... prescribing eight different kinds of medications despite their grim prognosis.

The rapper tells TMZ ... he went to doctors who gave him the bad news, telling him they're not sure how long he has to live ... and they recommend he stay in bed and take his medication.

ICYMI ... Ray J says doctors gave him just months to live -- telling his followers he doesn't think he's going to make it to 2027. He says half of his heart has turned black and it's only beating at 60 percent, which is not a good sign.

Stacey Abrams may not be a congresswoman anymore, but she's very much locked in ... she told us the bloodshed we've been seeing in Minnesota is a direct result of a "military occupation of American cities," which "cannot stand."

We caught up with the voting-rights activist and former candidate for Georgia governor at LAX yesterday, where she explained ... "We are in the midst of an authoritarian takeover by the Republican party led by Donald Trump."

According to Abrams, "Their intention is to dismantle democracy as we understand it and our responsibility is civil resistance."

Lamar Odom is doing well in rehab ... and it all started with a conversation from years ago.

Back in 2023, Lamar gave a tear-filled keynote at the Annual California Addiction Conference. Onstage, he opened up about losing his marriage, struggling with addiction, and missing his late friend and former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant.

The emotional speech caught the attention of rehab owner Vinsent Franke, who shared his own heartbreak -- losing a son to an overdose -- and invited Lamar to check out his rehab center.

The two didn’t keep in touch ... until now.

Holy open mic, Batman ... the Dark Knight rose up in Santa Clara earlier this week to slam the city council's cooperation with ICE!

A man dressed as the Caped Crusader -- identified as "Batman" on the monitor Tuesday -- swooped down on the podium like Gotham's defender himself ... instantly launching into a tirade which began with an expletive.

In the 3-minute speech, Batman accuses the city council of allowing the federal government to walk all over them ... and, he expresses his concern about hundreds of masked men coming to Santa Clara. As you know, the federal government announced in October ICE agents will be present at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8, the day of the Super Bowl ... but sources told TMZ Sports today there is no plan for ICE to conduct immigration enforcement at the site, so details remain sketchy.

The man seen on video spraying Rep. Ilhan Omar with a liquid substance has been charged with assaulting her during the performance of her official duties, TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, the feds say not only did Anthony James Kazmierczak confess on body cam that he squirted liquid on Omar, he also gave a possible motive.

The papers say after spraying the liquid -- now officially identified to have been water and apple cider vinegar -- on the congresswoman, videos show him turning and saying she was "splitting Minnesotans apart."

Not only that, the feds point to a Facebook post from 2021 in which they say Kazmierczak shared a cartoon depicting Omar -- the Democratic U.S. Representative from Minneapolis -- saying "Security for me ... None for thee" while embracing a security guard and holding a "Defund Police" sign.

Taylor Swift still can't regain the "Greatest Pop Star" title from Billboard ... losing out on the accomplishment for the second year in a row ... and begging the question, who outdid her???

TS finished at No. 2. on the magazine's "Greatest" list ... one spot higher than she ended last year, but still falling short of the ultimate title.

Last year, Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar finished at #2 and #1, respectively ... but they fell behind T-Swift this year ... finishing at #5 and #4. So the person who beat out Taylor this year will be a different star than the last iteration.

Vernon Davis is being accused of attacking a woman with magazines and books during an argument over an abortion last year.

TMZ Sports obtained the criminal complaint filed on Jan. 8 ... with the woman claiming she was at the ex-49ers tight end's home on May 31 when a disagreement broke out in his room over her pregnancy.

In the complaint, the woman says the 41-year-old "was hitting me w/ magazines + books from under his TV" ... and added he offered her $10,000.

Kristy Scott is still "shaking" from her earth-shattering split from estranged husband Desmond ... and she's picking up the pieces in a new emotional video.

Wearing feathered sleeves while pushing a cart down a grocery store aisle, Kristy admitted she was trembling during her first post-breakup grocery run.

She said, "I’m really nervous making this video, but also, my nervous system is like, shot, and it kind of has been for the past month."

Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot -- the couple who got caught having an affair at a Coldplay concert last summer -- won't ever live it down ... because Pepsi's thrown the moment into their new ad campaign!

The soda giant just dropped their Super Bowl ad on social media ... which begins with a polar bear -- an iconic Coca-Cola mascot -- taking the Pepsi Challenge, and choosing Pepsi over Coke.

The shocked bear runs off to a therapy session -- with a heavily bearded Taika Waititi talking him through his issues -- before he hits the city streets and meets a lady bear on the street ... who offers him a Pepsi.

The two then attend a concert together ... where they're shown on the Jumbotron ... cuddled up and sipping on the beverage.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement will have a presence in the San Francisco area next weekend, according to DHS, but there are a few places ICE won't be arresting undocumented people ... at the actual Super Bowl.

Sources tell TMZ Sports there is no plan for ICE to be at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, February 8 ... meaning there will be no immigration enforcement at the site of Super Bowl LV.

We're also told there hasn't been talk of ICE enforcing immigration policy at NFL-sponsored events across the Bay Area in the days leading up to kickoff.
