HURRICANE IRMA: Last Flight Out Of Puerto Rico

The last commercial plane out of Puerto Rico became a social media sensation.

Delta Flight 302 risked flying into Hurricane Irma to reach Puerto Rico. That plane was basically empty except for crew, which managed a quick turn-around on the ground and jetted 173 passengers off the island to New York’s JFK International.

An aviation geek named Jason Rabinowitz tracked the flight’s path and tweeted regular updates of Delta’s location in relation to Hurricane Irma.

An airline spokesperson said (quote) “We took a hard look at the weather data. The track of the storm and worked with the flight crew and dispatcher to agree it was safe to operate the flight.”

Satellite images show Hurricane Irma kissing the Puerto Rico coastline as the plane arrived. Daredevil pilots threaded a needle through a sliver of calmer skies. Delta reports, despite a turbulent ride, all the passengers arrived unharmed to JFK.

The Bachelor: Arie Is The Man!

The Bachelor has announced its new main man for season 22.

Arie Luyendyk Jr., a race car driver who was a runner-up on season 8 of The Bachelorette, will be the next Bachelor. The news was revealed earlier today on Good Morning America. The 35-year-old says he had been considered to be the Bachelor in previous seasons but it never worked out until now. The Bachelor's 22nd season will premiere in January.

Aladdin: Disney Catching Heat For Adding White Actor

Disney is being criticized for adding a white character to its live-adaptation of Aladdin. 

Billy Magnussen, a white actor, will play a prince in the remake, a character not in the 1992 animated version, and many social media users aren't happy about it. Some are even calling it whitewashing, even though the rest of the cast, led by Will Smith, are people of color.

Magnussen’s character will be Aladdin’s rival to winning over Princess Jasmine’s heart. Another new character has also been added to the movie, Jasmine’s friend and handmaiden Mara, who will be played by Nasim Pedrad.

The film, directed by Guy Ritchie, does not have a release date yet.

Little Big Town: Walk of Fame Stars...

Little Big Town will get a star on the Music City Walk of Fame on September 14th. 

They'll be honored as a part of the Ryman Auditorium's 125th anniversary celebration. So will Tom Ryman, the riverboat captain who built the venue (which was originally a church), and Lula C. Naff, who was the auditorium's theater manager for more than 40 years.

Little Big Town is the first act to do a residency at the fabled venue.

The induction ceremony is free and will be open to the public.

Chris Young: Raised more than $300,000 for Houston

Chris Young was the first country artist to step up with a resource to help victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Chris owns a house where the storm first hit and has family and friends who live in the area. He doesn't know what kind of damage his house has sustained, but he's way more worried about the people in danger. Fortunately, all of his friends and family are safe.

He set up a GoFundMe campaign that has already raised over $300,000.

Miranda Lambert: Boots On The Ground in Texas

Miranda Lambert and her MuttNation Foundation have boots on the ground in Texas, and are loading up pups and bringing them to safe shelters across the country. 

She writes on Twitter, "Thanks to some amazing transportation volunteers, we sent over 70 pups to a shelter in [Oklahoma] today. Rigs now rolling into Houston for another load."

Funds are still needed to shelter and feed the rescued animals. You can donate to MuttNation Foundation on its website.

GARTH BROOKS: HEADLINING STAGECOACH?

Stagecoach takes place April 27th through April 29th. The full lineup is expected to be announced next month.

D.A. Of The Day

Shop Til' You Drop....Your Pants

A Florida man was busted after getting a little too much joy out of a joyride -- by rolling stark naked through a Walmart parking lot on a shopping cart that he was using like a scooter.


Cops rushed to the big-box store on Saturday after receiving numerous calls from people who reported that Jacob Steiner was running around in his birthday suit, but by the time they arrived, Steiner had found a better means of transportation.

The police report described Steiner as “a very well known illegal narcotics user” and noted that the nude romp was “unfortunately a very common practice for him.” The 26-year-old, who had been warned to stay away from the store, was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly intoxication and trespassing.

Tag - YOU are busted!

A Florida man just filled his plate with trouble -- by trying to steal registration tags off a license plate...which was attached to an unmarked car filled with cops.

The detectives were doing surveillance when Wesley Kelley pulled up behind them, pulled on a pair of gloves, then attempted to open the door to the patrol car and detach the license plate. When he noticed the men inside, he apologized, then ran to his car and sped off -- crashing a few hundred yards later, revealing that the vehicle was actually stolen.

On his way to the County Jail, he confessed to yet another offense -- knocking down a fence at a FedEx location because “he always wanted to try ramming a gate with a car to see if it would bust open like in the movies.”

Not Par For The Course...

A South Carolina couple was busted last week after trying to give a whole new meaning to "scoring a hole in one" -- by stripping down and getting busy in the middle of a country club fairway.

Dakota Payne and Kiernan Hennessy attracted attention when a witness spotted two horizontal figures on the eighth hole -- but the guy who called 911 actually thought he was calling to get help for someone who was having a medical issue. When a patrolman arrived at the links, he walked in on the mostly nude couple seriously misusing the front nine.

The two, aged 19 and 24, both face charges of indecent exposure -- and probably merit a good caddy smack.

SEAN LOWE: Bachelor Becomes Houston Hero

Heroes are abundant this week in Houston.

One of them, Sean Lowe, came to fame four years ago on reality TV as The Bachelor. Sean loaned a boat from a social media follower and towed it from Dallas to Houston. He’s spent the week making rescue runs through flooded neighborhoods.

He posted to Instagram, (quote) “My heart broke for all the elderly, who are immobile. The mothers trapped in their homes with young babies. But I was encouraged by the selflessness of so many Texans.”

Sean detailed a traumatic experience where a rescue ended badly. He told Entertainment Tonight how he gave first aid to a heart attack victim. (quote) “We pulled him from a canoe. It took three of us giving CPR for about 15 to 20 minutes before we could get him to an ambulance. His heart was not beating. His face was as blue as blue gets. It really shook me up.”

SHOWTIME: REFUNDING MILLIONS TO STREAMERS

Showtime faces a class action lawsuit from people who watched the digital stream of the Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor pay-per-view fight.

Fans paid 100 dollars for the stream, but then complained of grainy video, errors and continuous buffering. That might be bearable for a baseball game, but not a boxing match.

Zack Bartel is leading the legal fight. He accused Showtime of “intentionally misrepresenting the quality of video and knowingly failing to disclose that its system was defective.” In return, he asking that each person participating in the class action gets 200 dollars in damages, or twice what they paid for the fight itself. A full refund and another 100 dollars for the "emotional trauma" of missing the fight.

CAR RIP OFF GETS ECLIPSED

A Florida crook had his sunny outlook dimmed on Monday when he got busted for driving off in a stolen car, then pulling over to watch the solar eclipse.

Jocsan Feliciano Rosado swiped the ride in Orange County but didn't simply hit the open road. Instead, he stopped at a home-improvement store to purchase a welder's mask, which he slipped on to view the once-in-a-lifetime nationwide Eclipse -- allowing cops to nab him shortly before peak totality.

To add insult to injury, Rosado was told that welder's masks aren't even approved for eclipse viewing. Sun of a gun!

TIGER WOODS: NUDE PICS LEAKED

While most celeb nude hackings have involved females, Tiger Woods is among the latest batch of victims.

Cosby's first trial ended in June with a hung jury. The two lawyers who represented him, Brian J. McMonagle and Angela Agrusa, recently asked to leave the case.

Mesereau also helped to get actor Robert Blake acquitted of murder.

MILES TELLER: ENGAGED..

Over the weekend, Miles Teller proposed to model Keleigh Sperry.

Love both of you guys to pieces and so incredibly happy for this new chapter in your love story!”

He was eager to propose since celebrating his 30th birthday in February. Since Keleigh’s sister had a wedding last month, Miles patiently waited “so as not to upstage her big day.” The banner on Keleigh's Twitter account shows the entire wedding party.

TWEETLE D.A. DESTROYS LIQUOR STORE

A Florida man who identified himself to police as "Alice Wonderland" is looking to escape down a rabbit hole after he was arrested for destroying a Walmart liquor store that was under construction.

32-year-old Mathew Horace Jones is accused of sneaking into the construction site and using a forklift to destroy the store, which was being added to an existing Walmart store. The damage is estimated around $100,000.

When police arrived, he allegedly aimed the forklift at officers and threatened to drive into them. Cops drew their guns and he surrendered. Once he was in custody he told police his name was "Alice Wonderland" and that a "hookah-smoking caterpillar" told him to destroy the store because he didn't like that Walmart was going to sell alcohol.

BRAD AND ANGIE: DIVORCE STILL A GO

For those who got their hopes up, we're sorry to break this to you -- but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have not called off their divorce. Despite reports to the contrary, TMZ says the two are "deep in divorce talks, and there is NO talk of reconciliation."

UNDER THE GUN:

A Florida man had better hope his lawyer can come up with a good defense -- after getting arrested for pulling a gun to prove martial arts are a bad defense.

George Meyer dropped into a self-defense seminar at his son's school and told instructor Christopher LaSala that weapons would always be superior to martial arts, which he called "crap." To emphasize his point, Meyer reached into his pocket and pulled out a small back handgun, pointed it at the teacher and said, "Bang, you're dead."

LaSala said he was not, in fact, dead, but Meyer pressed the point, saying the gun was "locked and loaded" and ready to be fired at any time. Meyer was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and improper exhibition of a firearm.

TIGER WOODS: PHARMACY ON WHEELS

Last week, Tiger Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving. For good reason. He never stood a chance in court.

ESPN obtained the toxicology report from the night of his arrest. Tiger was wasted on a cocktail of powerful painkillers Vicodin and Dilaudid, plus the sleeping aid Ambien. To help calm his nerves, Tiger had taken Xanax and THC, which is the active ingredient in marijuana.

The night of his arrest, in late May, Tiger was basically a pharmacy on wheels. Police found him snoring inside his car that he'd parked in the bike lane. Apparently, the Ambien worked!

The D.A. Of The Day - I Bet He Dreads Taco - Tuesday...

An Alabama man probably should have made a run for the border -- after he bashed his twin brother in the head with a baseball bat for asking to share his Taco Bell meal.

Tyler Dukes got a little hot and saucy when his grandmother dropped by the place he shared with his sibling with tacos for the pair to share, because he felt there were only enough for him. When the victim tried to grab one, Dukes grabbed a bat and hit his twin, opening a gash in the back of his skull.

When a deputy asked Tyler if he committed the assault, the 19-year-old quickly admitted he had, saying of his twin, “He is always disrespecting me.”

Good thing he wasn't packing a fully-loaded guac!

TOM CRUISE: MISSION - HOSPITAL

Tom Cruise may seem invincible in those Mission: Impossible movies, but a crazy stunt got the better of him while filming Mission Impossible 6 on Sunday morning.

According to TMZ, Cruise -- who prides himself on doing a lot of his own stunt work -- was trying to leap off of a platform onto the roof of a building, but came up just short, crashing into the side of the building instead of landing on top of it.

The actor attempted to go on with the scene, but was limping so badly that crew members helped him away and off the set. There's no word on the extent of his injuries.

JUDGE DISMISSES CIVIL CASE AGAINST SWIFT



The Civil Case filed by David Mueller against Taylor Swift has been dismissed. U.S. Judge Williams Martinez ruled that Mueller didn’t offer enough evidence to prove that the singer personally got him fired from KYGO after he allegedly groped her during a meet and greet. He was seeking $3 million in damages.


Swift was visibly emotional when the Judge announced his decision. The court case is not over, however, as Mueller’s lawsuits against Swift’s mother, Andrea, and their radio handler, Frank Bell, continues.
