A couple nitwits in San Diego decided it would be fun to get super close to a group of sea lions ... until the marine mammals had them running for their lives.

Two girls in bikinis desperately trying to escape some massive sea lions ... after getting way too close to the wild animals.

The girls stood up against a cliff in the cove, with sea lions sunbathing on the surrounding rocks ... they had their phones in hand and tried to take some photos but the sea lions weren't having it, and a chase ensued.

The family of one of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims is speaking out, slamming Ariana Grande for once saying she'd be interested in having a sit down with the late serial killer.

ICYMI ... the pop star's gotten some backlash this week for a recent podcast interview where she recounted saying Dahmer -- who killed and dismembered 17 men over a 13-year period -- was her dream dinner guest.

Ari says she'd shared that tidbit with a group of young fans during a Q&A early in her career.

Ariana Grande surprised her fans with a story she recalled from years ago -- the fact that her younger self would have liked to have sat down for a hypothetical meal with Jeffrey Dahmer.

The singer recently went on Penn Badgley's "Podcrushed" podcast -- and she admitted to having previously told fans that the late convicted serial killer was her dream dinner guest ... 'cause she's always wanted to pick his brain.

Ariana -- who said she was infatuated with serial killers growing up -- explained the topic came up during a Q&A with young fans at the start of her singing career ... and she says she told the kid the truth, that she'd wanna chat up Dahmer in a would-be dinner.

Ben Affleck lost his cool on the paparazzi this weekend -- but for good reason ... they were flashing the crap out of him with their cameras, which he rightly noted was dangerous.

The actor was spotted leaving his and Jennifer Lopez's marital home in Bev Hills Sunday night -- where a group of photographers were waiting at the bottom of a hill for him as he was exiting solo ... and once they saw his car coming down the path, they snapped away.

You can see a bunch of white flashes as Ben attempts to safely get back onto the main road, but he comes to an abrupt stop ... and then gets out of the vehicle to speak his mind.

Taylor Swift isn't taking Dave Grohl's comment about her "Eras" tour too kindly -- and she took the first possible opportunity to fire back, declaring she and her band do, indeed, perform live!

ICYMI ... the Foo Fighters frontman appeared to make a dig at the pop star Saturday, joking his band's tour is called the "Errors Tour" as they "actually play live" ... seeming to imply Taylor does not.

Well, less than a day after that perceived dig, Taylor appeared to directly respond to Dave during night 3 of her Wembley Stadium residency ... as she called out her band in a particular way.

Jerry Seinfeld once again got heckled by pro-Palestine protesters in Australia -- and he once again let 'em have it from the stage ... telling them they're going against their own cause.

The comedian was performing live in Melbourne Saturday -- and just like last week, he got interrupted in the middle of his set by folks in the audience who shouted things like "Free Palestine" and "you support genocide" ... among other phrases meant to express solidarity with the people in Gaza.

As we've seen, Jerry hasn't taken too kindly to these outbursts -- and here, it was more of the same ... Jerry went off on the protesters, mercilessly mocking and dressing them out.

Donald Trump says he learned people could get away with abhorrent behavior as long as they had good ratings like he did on "The Apprentice" ... according to a bombshell book.

The ex-prez made the claims during an interview with Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh for, "Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass" which dropped Tuesday.

We've already told you a little about the new book ... but, just as a refresher, DJT sat for several interviews with Setoodeh and, the portrayal of 45 as a lonely, occasionally dotty man ex-TV star isn't flattering.

Nicola Coughlan's haters aren't going to stop hating ... but, that's fine 'cause she's an inspiration to women everywhere who's not letting it get to her -- so says her costar.

Simone Ashley -- who's played Kate in the second and third seasons of the show -- recently answered questions about the hate her costar's received from people online who have criticized her body since her famous sex scene from the recently released third season of the show.

Ashley's pretty upfront ... telling festivalgoers in Monaco haters gonna hate, but it's not affecting Nicole -- assuring everyone she's very tough, and responding to all the hate with confidence and intelligence.

Dave Grohl's ready to Foo Fight some Swifites ... 'cause he took a shot at Taylor Swift -- implying she's not actually performing live at her shows.

The singer-songwriter took the stage with the Foo Fighters at London Stadium Saturday night ... about 25 miles from Wembley Stadium where Taylor has performed all three of her shows this weekend.

Check out the clip ... DG starts out by name-dropping the pop star's "Eras" Tour -- which receives a lot of boos from the crowd. Dave jokes FF should rename their string of shows the "Errors" Tour 'cause he says they've messed up their fair share since hitting the road.

Michael Shannon didn't cut up the open road on "The Bikeriders" set ... in fact, he wasn't allowed anywhere near the bikes during filming -- so says the director.

Jeff Nichols -- who directed the film starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, Mike Faist and Shannon -- says despite MS' biker persona in the flick he never hopped on a motorcycle ... 'cause he just wasn't interested.

On the "Reelblend" podcast, Nichols says the actors had to go through extensive training to get up on the hogs ... but, Shannon skipped out and therefore wasn't allowed to ride.

Paris protesters are ready for a defecation demonstration ... claiming they're going to poop in the famed Seine to prove just how disgusting it is!

Social media users are talking online about a large-scale plan to defecate in the river after France's President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo claimed it was safe enough to swim in.

Here's the deal ... a couple months ago water charity Surfrider Foundation Europe claimed it had tested the water in the Seine multiple times over the course of six months from September 2023 to March 2024 and claims they found a shocking amount of bacteria in the water.

Duff McKagan's responding to "The Simpsons" name controversy ... saying he really doesn't care even if they did use his name -- but, he still thinks the connection's obvious.

We caught up with Guns N' Roses rocker in L.A. Friday and asked him about OG 'Simpsons' writer-producer Jay Kogen telling us the show's premier beer -- Duff -- isn't named for him ... instead, it's named after dude's who just sit on their butts and drink beer all day long.

DM tells us he thinks it's super funny the show's creators are all in a tizzy over his claims ... adding they're all protesting jway too much.

A Dallas freeway turned into an NSFW action movie, 'cause a half-naked lady started beating on a driver while pulled over on the side of the road ... and then got taken for a ride.

This wild footage is circulating on social media ... it begins with a woman standing on the freeway, throwing punches at another gal who's sitting in the driver's seat -- and the one slinging haymakers happens to not be wearing any pants.

Check out the clip ... the nude woman is smacking at the other -- booty cheeks fully out -- while the guys filming from their own car cheer her on. She's getting some good licks in too, holding her combatant by the hair and throwing some vicious hooks at her face.

"Sandlot" star Tom Guiry, who played Smalls in the movie, got busted for throwing a strike ... but cops say he didn't hit his target with a baseball, he used a dumbbell!!!

TMZ obtained video of the alleged incident ... and it appears to show Tom tossing a huge weight on a car windshield, shattering it completely.

The footage is absolutely bonkers ... you see Tom bring the dumbbell behind his head and then drop it on a white Jeep ... before marching across two manicured front lawns to go back inside ... all while the dumbbell rolls down the hood.

Woody Harrelson became public enemy number one when he walked onto the "Cheers" set, and everyone wanted to "kick his ass" ... so says the show's star, Ted Danson.

Ted and Woody sat down for an interview on the "Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend Podcast" to discuss "Cheers" ... and, they dove into Woody joining the show during season 4 as the new bartender -- also named Woody.

Ted says no one really had a problem with Woody ... except he happened to be about 10 years younger than the rest of the cast -- and, they decided to try and knock the guy down a few pegs.

Theo James has clearly ended up on some s****y first dates ... 'cause the guy says he once went out with a girl who ended up taking a dump in his bathtub!

The actor recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly for a panel discussion and played Two Truths and a Lie -- a game where a person says two true statements and one lie and others guess which is which -- and he said a woman once left him a brown reminder of their time together.

The way Theo tells the story ... it was back during his university days, and he and this girl hit the town before heading back to his place where they had some "fun" -- you can probably read between the lines on your own.
