A snow leopard attacked a tourist and ate part of her face after she stopped to take a selfie with it. The incident happened in China’s Xinjiang region on Friday, January 23.

According to reports, the skier got too close to the wild animal and took selfies with it prior to the mauling.

The tourist was on her way back to her hotel when she spotted the wild snow leopard near a grove of trees.

She got out of her vehicle, and approached the wild animal to take photos, according to state-owned broadcaster CCTV.

Cell phone video footage shows the animal guarding its prey after mauling the woman’s face. Rescuers chased the leopard away and transported the woman to a local hospital.

The video shows the leopard moving through the snow as the injured woman was led away by rescuers.

“It’s gone,” someone said in the video.

The woman is in stable condition in a local hospital, the Forestry Bureau said.

The bureau added that tourists should avoid getting close to dangerous animals.

“The general public and tourists are urged to strictly abide by the safety guidelines, maintain a safe distance when encountering wild animals, and report to the police immediately to ensure personal safety,” the bureau said in an online notice.

Coco Gauff called out television networks that aired her crash-out footage following her loss in the Australian Open quarter finals on Tuesday.

Coco, the No. 3 seed, served 5 double-faults and lost 6-1, 6-2 to 12th-seeded Elina Svitolina in the 59-minute match.

Coco held her composure as she entered the tunnel after the match.

A surveillance camera in the hallway leading to the locker room shows Coco repeatedly smashing her tennis racket on the floor.

After the footage went viral, the 21-year-old complained that other tennis players show their frustration after a loss, but the footage is never aired on TV.

“I kind of have a thing with the broadcast. I feel like certain moments – the same thing happened to Aryna [Sabalenka] after I played her in final of US Open. I feel like they don’t need to be broadcast.”

Coco called for change, saying cameras should not be in private areas of the locker room.

The humiliated tennis star said she believed she was in a private area when she took out her frustration on her tennis racket.

“I tried to go somewhere where I thought there wasn’t a camera, because I don’t necessarily like breaking racquets… I broke one racquet [at the] French Open, I think, and I said I would never do it again on court, because I don’t feel like that’s a good representation.”

The Atlanta-born tennis champ recently purchased a multi-million public tennis facility at Brownwood Park in East Atlanta, where she learned to play tennis as a child.

Coco plans to transform the tennis facility into “Gauff Futures” to develop future tennis stars in the Black community.

Florida woman withdrew $24K from her bank to pay her husband’s child support

A Florida woman is going viral after withdrawing $24,000 from her bank account to pay her husband’s child support debt to one of his baby mamas.

She also plans to withdraw an additional $6,000 to pay what he owes to another woman.

The woman’s generosity sparked debate among groups who say a wife should not be held responsible for her husband’s child support debt.

One person commented: “The sad part is, she spent all her money for somebody else’s child. And there’s no guarantee that he’s gonna stick around. once all of the money is gone.”

Another person wrote (translated from broken English): “You’re married. That’s your child support, too. They’ll go after you if you don’t pay. Don’t act like you’re doing it out of the kindness of your heart.”

A third person commented: “That level of loyalty is rare af. Whether people agree or not, she’s moving like a real one for her husband. Hope he matches that energy 10×.”

In Florida, a woman can be forced to pay child support if the father has majority custody of the child. If the father is given primary physical custody, the wife may be ordered to pay child support.

It seems, the woman in the video is being proactive and paying child support before she is ordered to.

“In Florida, the child support system is structured to protect the best interests of the child while balancing the legal and financial realities of both parents… Florida adheres to the Income Shares Model, which estimates the amount of support a child would have received if both parents had remained together. The resulting child support order reflects a combination of both parents’ financial capacity and the time each spends with the child.”

Raven-Symoné was spotted out & about with her partner Miranda Maday and friends at the Farmer’s Market in Studio City, California.

In previous interviews, Raven, 40, opened up about her obesity struggles and being told she was “fat” since age 7. She now embraces her obesity after decades of weight-loss struggles.

In her book, “The Untold Story,” Raven-Symoné said Disney “went crazy” and digitally altered her body to make her look thinner in “That’s So Raven.”

She also recalled Disney dropping suggestions to her about losing weight and looking thinner. Raven-Symoné even used an app called Signos that pairs with a glucose monitor to measure her blood glucose level in real time in response to diet and exercise.

As a teenager, Raven-Symoné underwent surgical procedures, including lipo and breast reduction, to lose weight before she was 18.

She said her late father’s criticism motivated her to go under the knife to lose weight as a teenager.

“I was like, ‘Yeah, if I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?'” she said on her podcast in 2023.

Raven likely has the obesity gene that predisposes her to overeat and gain weight.

Oprah Winfrey recently faced criticism for saying the “obesity gene” caused her to overeat and crave food 24/7.

In a recent appearance on “The View”, Oprah said, “All these years, I thought I was overeating. I was standing there with all the food noise… I thought that that was because of me and my fault. Now I understand that if you carry the obesity gene… that is what makes you overeat.”

She continued: “You don’t overeat and become obese. Obesity causes you to overeat.”

Justice is moving at a snail’s pace for Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14-year-old girl found deceased in the trunk of singer D4vd’s Tesla in September.

Police arrested Neo Langston, 23, after he failed to appear before a grand jury as a witness. Neo is rumored to be D4vd’s boyfriend.

Investigators believe Neo is the man seen near the Tesla when it was parked for the final time before being towed to a police impound lot in the Hollywood Hills in September.

Police made the grisly discovery in the trunk at the impound lot after a worker called 911 to report a foul odor.

Police arrested Neo on Thursday at a residence in Helena, according to court and jail records viewed by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Neo is being held without bond at the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail. He fled the country last year and is considered a flight risk.

Celeste was last seen at her home in Lake Elsinore in April 2024, when she was 13. She would have turned 15 on September 7, 2025. Investigators say her dismembered body was in the trunk for at least a month.

Her family described her as a runaway who was in a “relationship” with a man named David. D4vd, real name David Burke, was 19 or 20 at the time.

Neo and Celeste had matching “Shhhh” tattoos, and they appeared in photos and livestream videos together at his $20,000 a month rental property.

D4vd mentioned the underage girl in his song lyrics, and he hired Celeste’s lookalike to appear in his music videos.

Neo traveled extensively with D4vd while the singer was on tour. They are pictured together in this photo from D4vd’s Instagram page.

It isn’t clear if Neo is a witness to Celeste’s murder and dismemberment. Neo is believed to be the person seen near D4vd’s car when it was moved to its final parking spot around the corner from D4vd’s rental house in the Hollywood Hills.

D4vd cancelled his world tour after Celeste’s body was discovered in the trunk of his car.

Interscope Records cancelled D4vd’s Deluxe Album Release, and deleted all album promos from its website.

Police named D4vd as a suspect in Celeste’s death in November. His current location is unknown.

“I would love to have a husband and a real partner. Someone that we could get excited about the trials and the tribulations in life together. That would be great.”

Cree compared the end of a marriage to the engine dying in an old car.

“Who the f— wants to separate and divorce? But sometimes that old car ain’t gon’ run anymore. And you can polish it. You can put a new f— motor in it, but it just don’t run… it’s run its f— course literally.”

Cree added: “With all I know, I’m too smart to have chosen what I’ve chosen. I think I could’ve given myself the credit for how intelligent I really am. I think sometimes I found myself in situations past the expiration date purely out of loneliness.”

Ray J updated his fans following his emergency hospitalization for pneumonia and symptoms of heart failure.

Ray J was discharged from a Las Vegas hospital, buy says he is in heart failure and his heart is pumping at only 25% of functional capacity.

That means his heart is not pumping enough blood around his body to sustain his life.

The heart’s functional capacity is measured by the percentage of blood that pumps with each heart contraction.

MEGA/WENN

Ray J claims his heart only pumps 25% of blood with each contraction. He seemed exhausted in the video. He leaned on a counter as he spoke to the camera.

Ray J should be in ICU if his heart capacity is only 25%.

Symptoms of Heart Failure

Symptoms of heart failure include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue (weakness), swelling in legs and ankles, difficulty sleeping, wake up coughing, irregular heartbeat.

The 45-year-old singer/actor didn’t seem worried as he puffed on a cigarette in a livestream video.

Nicky Nelson/WENN

“My heart’s only beating like 25%, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, then everything will be all right. So thank you for all your prayers,” Ray J said.

He captioned the video: Just almost died!! I’m alive because of your prayers and support!!”

Ray J is the younger brother of singer/actress Brandy Norwood. His 1997 debut single, “Let It Go”, was on the soundtrack to the F. Gary Gray film, “Set It Off.”

Oscar voters explain why they didn’t vote for Ariana Grande: “Completely turned off”

Anonymous Oscar voters didn’t vote for Ariana Grande for an Academy Award nomination because her relationship with Cynthia Erivo “creeped” them out.

The voters found Cynthia’s “constant” protective behavior of Ariana “intense and bizarre.” They criticized the stars for “trying to go viral with their shenanigans.”

They also chose not to vote for Ariana because she seems fragile.

“Think of it this way: We were protecting Ariana from her anxiety — and Cynthia from having to intervene. Again,” one voter said.

A crazed troll ambushed Ariana during the “Wicked: For Good” press tour in Singapore in November. Cynthia instinctively rushed forward to protect her costar.

Cynthia was heavily criticized for stepping in front of security guards to protect Ariana.

The troll was banned from Singapore and deported back to his native Australia.

Ariana campaigned for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Glinda in “Wicked” For Good” at the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

She earned a Golden Globes nomination, but she was snubbed for an Oscar nomination.

One Oscar voter said they were “turned off completely” by Cynthia and Ariana’s relationship.

“The movie wasn’t that great,” one voter told NewsNation. “The two have amazing on-screen chemistry but spent most of the movie apart.”

The voter added: “I was also just completely turned off by their promotional performances. They creeped a lot of people out and in their rush to feel authentic, came off as cosplaying.”

Charlotte Hornets stars LaMelo Ball and Moussa Diabaté went viral on social media after defeating the Washington Wizards 119-115 at home on Saturday, Jan. 24.

Video shows the 2 players celebrating their win by flirting with each other after the game at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC.

LaMelo, 24, hiked up his jersey to expose his flat abdomen as he flirted with Moussa, also 24.

Both players had a double-double in the game. LaMelo scored 20 points with 11 assists, and Moussa scored 21 points with 14 rebounds.

LaMelo won a state championship in high school before the Hornets selected him with the 3rd overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Moussa was a 5-star recruit and one of the top centers in Florida before he was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2nd round of the 2022 NBA Draft.

Many X (Twitter) users doubted the clip was real because it was so zesty.
