Mark Burnett Brawls with Tom Arnold at Pre-Emmys Party!

Who said pre-Emmy Awards parties were boring and pointless?

Okay, fine, no one has ever said much of anything when it comes to pre-Emmy Awards parties in general.

But Tom Arnold and Mark Burnett did what they could to change that on Sunday night.

According to multiple outlets, along with the participants themselves, Arnold got into a physical altercation with the reality show producer and his wife, Roma Downey, at a gathering in Los Angeles.

Both sides have their own stories pertaining to what transpired, but Arnold was the first to Tweet about it just after midnight, writing:

“Mark Burnett just went apes–t & choked me at this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain. I’m waiting for LAPD.”

About an hour later, however, Downey shared her own Twitter post and her own version of events.

“Got this bruise tonight when Tom Arnold tried to ambush my husband Mark and me at a charity event. Is your TV show worth it Tom?Please stop,” the actress wrote.

Downey is referring here to “The Hunt for the Trump Tapes,” a series on Viceland that premieres on Tuesday night and which centers on Arnold’s search for various tapes that would embarrass or shame President Donald Trump.

He has alleged in the past that tapes exist of Trump saying the N-Word during his time as Apprentice host — and that Burnett, as creator of that program, has helped bury them.

In response to Downey’s above accusation, Arnold Tweeted the following early this morning:

“Bullshit. You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psycho. I’m filing a police report & suing you for defamation.”

He reiterated this same threat on social media this afternoon:

“Sitting in West LAPD filing charges against your best bud Apprentice Outtakes Mark Burnett who lost his mind, attacked & chocked [sic] me last nite at Katzenberg’s Night Before The Emmy’s Party.

“Mark Burnett is scared:) #TrumpTapes.”

Many people out there think Arnold is only taking these steps to stir up publicity for his show.

A witness tells TMZ, for example, that Arnold attacked Burnett as soon as he saw the producer at the party.

Burnett then pushed Arnold back, after which Arnold ripped Burnett’s crucifix off his neck, breaking the item in the process.

The confrontation lasted about 30 seconds and everyone involved remained at the party afterward.

Earlier in the day, Arnold told Salon.com that he wanted to approach Burnett at the Emmys ceremony in a confrontational manner; he also called the reality show creator a “pussy.”

Arnold’s attorney, Marty Singer, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter today that the incident occurred.

He claimed Burnett “attacked” his client, but said little else of relevance.

Alyson Hannigan, who was also in attendance, Tweeted that the fight broke out in front of her. But she can’t say for sure who started it.

“I thought it was a joke until security jumped in!” she wrote, adding that Survivor host Jeff Probst tried to jump in and break it up.

Phew. At least Probst wasn’t hurt in the scuffle.

Because, let’s face it: No one cares about Burnett or Arnold. But if Jeff Probst got injured in any way?!?

We’d have a real problem on our hands.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Brawls with Jen Harley Over Dead Dog

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley may not belong together.

We know this statement may come as a shock to some, but we just really get the impression that this Jersey Shore cast member and his on-again/off-again/on-again girlfriend really ought to be off again.

For good.

We’ve arrived at this bold conclusion following multiple reports that Ronnie and Jen got into a fight on Thursday in Las Vegas.

Like, an actual physical fight.

According to Us Weekly, the intense disagreement got underway after Harley showed up in Las Vegas, where Ronnie is filming scenes for the new season of Jersey Shore.

This was not a planned visit… and it quickly deteriorated into a gigantic and very ugly mess.

“Ronnie and Jen have been fighting over their daughter,” an insider tells Us Weekly, elaboraring as follows:

“Ronnie has been filming the show in Vegas the last couple of days and Jen wouldn’t tell him where their daughter is. She showed up to the hotel where they were filming.

“Jen lunged, spit and shoved Ronnie. Hotel security got involved, who then called the Las Vegas police department.”

Does this sounds a tad bit insane? Yes.

But remember:

Ronnie and Jen engaged in a vicious social media argument just a few weeks ago, one that entailed Ronnie labeling his estranged lover a “cum dumpster” and Harley responding by saying Ronnie was a “coke head” and awful father.

(Yes, father. Ronnie and Jen welcomed a daughter together in early April. God help us all.)

This war of words nearly broke the entire Internet and you can read all about it here:

Somehow, some way, for the sake of their child we guess, Ronnie and Jen chose to stay together and battle through their personal demons and numerous obstacles.

But it sounds as if their relationship is about to be tested once again.

“When police got to the hotel, they couldn’t find Jen,” the Us Weekly insider adds. “She left the hotel at that point. They are still trying to find her for questioning.”

This source also says that spitting on someone in Las Vegas is considered a misdemeanor, which is sort of hilarious.

Isn’t someone spit on in Las Vegas about once per hour?

Meanwhile, a follow-up to this initial story claims that Ortiz-Magro and Harley were arguing was the death of their dog.

We’ll let the tabloid insider explain what allegedly transpired:

“Their pit bull died. That’s part of why they were fighting.

“Jen was supposed to be taking care of the dogs when he was away filming, and Ronnie came home to their house and found the dog dead in the pool.”

Yikes.

Going back to their back-and-forth in late April, the duo exchanged insults on social media and both accused each other of cheating… and then appeared to get into an actual brawl on Instagram Live.

“Put your hands on me again! Put your f-cking hands on me again, I dare you!” Ronnie yelled in the livestream that was captured by fans and shared on Twitter.

Tristan Thompson Brawls on Court, Gets Ejected

The pressure of being Tristan Thompson may have finally gotten to Tristan Thompson.

Toward the very end of Game One of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, the power forward and controversial baby daddy lunghed to block Shaun Livingston"s shot.

The referees believed Thompson hit Livingston in the face with an elbow and promptly ejected Tristan from the game.

From there, Draymond Green of the Warriors clapped in Thompson"s face and sort of taunted Khloe Kardashian"s much-maligned boyfriend, which led to Thompson shoving Green in the face.

He may be suspended for Game Two, which would be a major blow to Cleveland.

In response to the incident, which has gone viral, many social media users are speculating over just what words were exchanged Thompson and Green.

Most, of course, assumed the ballers had to be fighting about Khloe.

Or maybe about Drake and his latest scandal.

Or a combination of both.

Added another social media user:

Tristan Thompson was ejected because the ref was mad he cheated on Khloe, and Draymond told Thompson he made sure Khloe was taken care of.

The status of Thompson and Kardashian remains a mystery, of course.

Last we heard, Khloe was still living in Cleveland and was angry that strangers online dared to offer advice about her love life.

It seems as if she really may give Thompson another chance, likely for the sake of their daughter, True, and her future.

It is better to grow up in a two-parent household than a one-parent household, right?

We"re not about to judge her decision, either way. We really can"t imagine what she"s been going through this entire time.

But we are about to laugh Thompson for this nonsense, which he says started because Livingston dared to shoot the ball when the game was already decided.

Watch the fracas for yourself:

Cruise Ship Brawls: Horrified Passengers Ran For Their Cabins

Cruise ships are just supposed to be places where a bunch of drunk strangers form a giant petri dish of potential ailments while trying to enjoy themselves.

But one recent South Pacific cruise was totally derailed by brawling passengers engaging in fights. The cruise line lays the blame at the feet at 23 members of one Italian family.

Warning: the video below, which shows just one of the brawls from aboard the cruise ship, may be disturbing due to its content.

At the beginning of this video — a recording of one of multiple brawls, only some of which were filmed — a quick-thinking cruise passenger on this Carnival Legends ship can at first only see the periphery of the fight.

And, of course, hear the screams.

Most of the passengers were apparently Australian. The man recording the video below certainly sounds like he was.

As the brawl moves closer, a number of people flee to avoid being drawn into it or injured by the participants.

You"d think that a fight on a boat would have a vibe like something out of a pirate movie, at least.

instead, this looks like an unarmed version of The Purge.

To add to the disturbing elements of this video, people who appear to be cruise ship employees are shown appearing to engage in two different unacceptable behaviors.

One person who appears to work security is shown repeatedly kicking a man who is laying on the ground. It appears that someone throws themselves over that man"s body to protect him.

Some reports claim that the man on the ground is a 17-year-old boy. Either way, that looks horrible.

Multiple employees appear to try to deter filming, which is not even acceptable when actual police do it.

Some reports claim that cruise ship employees stole people"s phones in order to delete incriminating videos.

The key culprits in the actual brawling and fighting, however, were reportedly members of a 23-member Italian family.

One cruise passenger described this "big Italian family" assailing other passengers, resulting in people "getting strangled and punched up."

"Very violent, they were full-on attacks."

At least one passenger called his father in Australia to plead for him to get the government to send help.

Though members of the crew eventually locked a number of passengers in their rooms after days of terror, there wasn"t really a place where they could lock up a couple dozen troublemakers.

Cruise ships don"t have the authority to make people walk the plank, folks.

Some passengers point to what they believe to be the real culprit.

One chose to blame alcohol, as many passengers have unlimited passes to the bar.

Which, she claimed, means that a lot of people are just super drunk by 6 or 7 in the evening.

The problem with that accusation is that this cruise ship, which was traveling from Melbourne to New Caledonia, had 2000 people on board.

Two thousand. Versus what, a couple dozen — let"s say a few dozen — troublemakers.

This wasn"t an alcohol problem, this was a terrible people being violent problem.

The frightening brawls sent a number of guests to lock themselves in their cabins for their own safety. Not exactly an ideal vacation.

Carnival Cruise Line says that they"ve sent people to provide comfort to passengers who were understandably upset.

Apparently they offered passengers 25% off on a future cruise, which is … well, that"s gotten a mixed reception.

Some passengers aren"t planning on ever going on another Carnival Cruise Line, as you may recall that some were just as horrified by the behavior of employees as they were by the brawlers.

So a 25% discount — or one of 100% doesn"t mean that much.

Watch this video, if you"re feeling up to it, and decide for yourself if that"s an experience that you"d want to risk repeating:

Floribama Shore Season 1 Episode 3 Recap: Bar Brawls, Body Shaming & So Much More!

The cast members of Floribama Shore are eager to emerge from the shadows of the cast members of Jersey Shore, and that’s why they will go to extreme measures to prove they are worthy of making good TV. 

On Floribama Shore Season 1 Episode 3, Nilsa was still pursuing Jeremiah, but he had another woman in his sights: Kayla Jo. 

This sent Nilsa on a downward spiral which resulted in her calling her ex-husband for some assistance in what to do in the situation. 

Codi, who has been trying to get closer to Nilsa since he laid eyes on her was not impressed by her actions and took issue with her body.

“Maybe you want [your ex] to buy you some more a— implants, or fake eyebrows?” he yelled in a disgusting rant that proved he was no good. 

Nilsa then started saying that her vagina was “made of steel.” As if that was not bad enough, she started spreading her legs on the couch to show it off to the whole world. 

“He could f—ing beat this s— to the ground. You could put this s— in its grave, and it would still be left standing. The autopsy guy would stop and be like, That thing is still alive!”

Um, alright, then. 

Kirk was sleeping on the other couch, but Nilsa woke him up with her crazy actions. 

“Nilsa, usually, could probably get whatever she wants,” he wondered. “But Jeremiah really isn’t feeling her that much, so I feel like she really is just acting a fool. Straight up.”

After spending the night, Kayla Jo made Jeremiah breakfast and everything. Maybe she’s a keeper. 

Meanwhile, Aimee revealed to the audience that she absolutely hates doing any work. 

“I dread work every day,” she dished. “I’m biting my tongue until I can become a trophy wife, because that is my dream job.”

After a bust-up with Kirk, Aimee thought it would be a good idea to show off her lack of culinary skills to her friends. 

“I grew up super poor,” she admitted. “This is like, kind of embarrassing, but I don’t know how to cook fancy.”

But she did know how to cook taco soup, so there’s that. 

The cast then headed out to the bar for some dollar draft beers, and the drama went into overdrive.

A local decided that Nilsa was all over the place as a person and needed to dial it back before it was too late. 

“You’re beautiful, you just need to stop acting like it,” he said.

“You just like, strive for attention. You’d actually get it if you just shut your mouth.”

This did not sit well with Nilsa who started wailing, and before long, it descended into a big bust up in the street with everyone seemingly involved.

Wait, Jeremiah watched from a distance. This is going to get interesting!

Kylie Jenner Kerfuffle: GRANDPA BRAWLS With Paparazzi After Selfie

Remember those three little girls who tried to get a selfie with Kylie Jenner last week only to be reprimanded with a "Don"t touch me!" from their idol?

Well, they came back determined to get that selfie, and this time, they brought a bodyguard: their grandpa.

It looks like it was a good choice, because the overall-wearing, flashlight-wielding granddad had no qualms getting into an ALL-OUT BRAWL with paparazzi who were getting a little too close to his grandkids.

The amped-up gramp yelled, kicked and screamed at photographers – all the while with a cigarette butt dangling from his lips.

Even after security broke up the brouhaha, the old man put up his dukes and went back for more!

The geriatric Hulk Hogan eventually walked away with the fam, but not before yelling "Suck my c**k!" to the crowd.

Kylie peaced out before the fight came to a head, which is a bummer because it would"ve made a tremendous Snapchat story.

The good news? The girls got their selfie this time. 

The incident took place outside The Nice Guy club in West Hollywood, where the fans and photographers awaited Kylie"s exit.

While waiting, TMZ interviewed the three young fans and asked about the other night when they failed to get a pic with the reality star.

"No, and it really made us upset," one of the girls said.

"Please take a picture with us!" the young fans added, speaking to camera in a message to Kylie. "We love you!"

This confuses us a tad, because in an attempt to defend herself, Kylie tweeted that she had taken selfies with the girls inside the restaurant two nights ago, just after she snapped at them outside.

Maybe she confused them with other fans?

No matter, because the determination of these tweens led to one of the best senior citizen shows we"ve seen in a long time.

Easter Bunny Gets Hopping Mad, Brawls with Mall Patron

Earlier today, we wrote about the Slurpee Doughnut and how this is a clear example of the incoming Apocalypse.

And it still may be.

But it turns out we have an even better example that proves the end of the world may be near:

The Easter Bunny just got into a fight with the father of a one-year old girl!

The incident went down at the Newport Centre mall in Jersey City, New Jersey, on Sunday, March 20.

As you can see below, the brutal brawl took place after this toddler slipped out of the Easter Bunny"s chair during a photo opportunity, according to city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill, via The Associated Press.

The father of the infant grew agitated and seemingly started shouting at the 22-year-old man dressed as the beloved holiday animal.

Other mall patrons looked on, aghast, as the two men began to throw punches.

A video of the incident shows the mall employee eventually took off his bunny mask and paws and starting hitting the parent in the face.

A few onlookers attempt to intervene, but the on-duty bunny returned for a second round of fisticuffs.

Morrill tells the AP that both men were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

No charges have been filed and police continue to investigate the situation.

Check out the unexpected, hilarious, disturbing fight right here and now:
