12:06 PM PT -- Jerry O'Connell joined Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" just a few minutes ago ... and cleared the air on his bathroom emergency claim.

JOC said he wasn't really clenching his cheeks during extra innings ... but just wanted to have a laugh with a troll online.

It wouldn't be too surprising if he was telling the truth -- Jerry told us he had seven Dodger dogs, four bags of peanuts and countless beers throughout the 18-inning affair.

But the experience wasn't enough to get him to stay home for Game 4 -- he said he'll be back at the stadium Tuesday night to check out Shohei Ohtani on the mound ... but his seats are even worse!!

Folks got two World Series games in one as the Dodgers needed 18 innings to beat the Blue Jays ... but Jerry O'Connell wasn't gonna miss a single moment of action -- even though he REALLY had to take a dump.

The actor documented his entire Monday night at the ballpark on his social media page ... initially smiling from ear-to-ear as he made his way to Game 3 of the Fall Classic.

JOC was all-in on the experience ... even playfully jawing at visiting Jays fans in the crowd early in the contest.

The Dodgers are back in Los Angeles for the World Series ... and naturally, plenty of stars showed up Monday night to cheer them on.

Game 3 brought a stacked lineup of famous faces -- including Jason Bateman, Jacob Elordi, Rob Lowe, Brad Paisley, and Jeff Goldblum.

Celeb couples were also in the building ... like L.A. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and Madison Beer -- plus Justin and Hailey Bieber.

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were side-by-side, cheering on their men at the Kansas City Chiefs game ... both rocking similar red outfits for the occasion.

TS and BM were spotted in their usual box seats Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs vs Washington Commanders game ... with the broadcast cutting to the duo shortly after Taylor's fiancé, Travis Kelce, put the Chiefs up 21-7 in the 3rd quarter -- catching a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes.

Taylor and Brittany were seen chatting and pointing toward the field ... with Taylor wearing a sleek red turtleneck and Brittany sporting a similar long-sleeve top.

NFL legend Adrian Peterson was seen slumped over at the wheel of his SUV on Sunday morning, just minutes before he was arrested for DWI.

The former Minnesota Vikings star was spotted dozing off in the driver's seat of his ride while he was at a Sugar Land, Texas gas station.

Law enforcement sources confirmed to us officers did, indeed, find Peterson in that manner.

Jay-Z is defending Bad Bunny's selection as the Super Bowl halftime show performer ... he says Americans really love them some Benito.

We got Hov in New York City on Monday and our photog asked him about all the hate getting thrown Bad Bunny's way ... seeing as some folks have been very vocal in blasting the decision to go with him, including President Trump.

Jay-Z is the guy to ask here ... his Roc Nation has been working with the NFL since 2019 to pick the Super Bowl halftime show performers.

Justin Bieber is among the stars in the house for Game 3 of the World Series ... and even though it's in Los Angeles ... JB is cheering his native country's Blue Jays.

We got video of Justin entering Dodgers Stadium on Monday night ... and it looked like he was there solo with no Hailey in sight.

JB looked cool AF  ... decked out in Toronto gear -- not saying much as he was led into the stadium with security nearby.

Paul Pierce has been formally hit with two criminal charges stemming from his arrest in Los Angeles earlier this month, TMZ Sports has learned.

Court records we've obtained show prosecutors charged the NBA legend with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of driving with .08% blood alcohol content ... just 14 days after he was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI.

Pierce, you'll recall, was accused of wrongdoing by cops back on Oct. 7 -- after he had allegedly fallen asleep at the wheel of his Range Rover SUV while in standstill traffic on an L.A. freeway.

We caught up with Bam Monday in L.A., where he told us ... back when he was getting treatment at Lamar Odom's rehab clinic, Britney actually lived down the street, and he's considering knocking on her door to offer assistance.

Watch the clip, because Bam makes it clear it’s not really him who could help Britney, but his wife, Dannii Marie -- a stretch coach/nutritionist who laid down the law with him, saying if he drank alcohol, it was basically the same as cheating

Good news for Cam Skattebo -- the New York Giants rookie sensation is set to be released from the hospital on Monday, according to his dad, who tells TMZ Sports he's already on the road to recovery!

We spoke with Leo Skattebo Monday morning, just about 24 hours after Skatt suffered a gruesome ankle injury during the second quarter of the Giants vs. Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia ... and he told us the plan was for his son to be discharged later today.

Given the serious nature of the injury -- a dislocated ankle that required emergency surgery -- it's an encouraging sign that Cam will get to leave the Philly hospital for his bed at home.

Gilbert Arenas is setting the record straight -- insisting he did not snitch on Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier before their arrests ... saying their situation is on a "whole different level."

Arenas openly trolled Billups and Rozier after the NBA coach and Miami Heat player were busted by the FBI as part of a gambling investigation last week ... but he's adamant his antics were not an admission of a role in the whole scandal.

One example of Arenas' humor was a post on Instagram, where he was spotted carrying an "informant lunch" -- implying he ratted on Billups and Rozier.

Michael Chandler and Chad Mendes will square off in November, but it won't be in an MMA cage ... the combat sports stars have signed with the late Hulk Hogan's Real American Freestyle, and will wrestle in November!

TMZ Sports has learned Chandler, 39, and Mendes, 40, recently inked deals to join the RAF roster ... and will headline RAF03 on November 29, at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, the promotion's third-ever event.

“Bringing Mendes and Chandler to the RAF mat is a full-circle moment for wrestling. These are world-class fighters who never lost their connection to the sport that made them,” RAF CEO Chad Bronstein said.

“This matchup proves what RAF is all about – giving elite athletes a platform to come home and remind the world where greatness begins.”

Chandler and Mendes are the latest MMA stars to sign with the promotion ... which already includes the likes of Bo Nickal, Holly Holm, and Julianna Pena.

Of course, Michael and Chad became known through mixed martial arts, but both were wrestling before ever fighting professionally.

Mendes was a 2x All-American wrestler at Cal Poly, while Chandler was an All-American and 2x Big 12 Championship runner-up during their college days.
