THIS is the hilarious moment a plant for upcoming horror movie Smile 2 breaks character on live TV.
The rib-tickling incident occurred during the baseball series clash between the LA Dodgers and the New York Mets.
As the heated exchange was played out, two people could be seen in the background wearing neon-yellow shirts.
One MLB star hit a ball up in the air with a cracking shot.
And spectators around the pair gazed up into the sky as they cowered from the fly-ball.
However, the neon-yellow duo simply stared straight ahead.
It soon became clear they had creepy smiles on their faces.
But one plant ended up breaking character to join the rest of the spectators by cowering from the fly-ball.
It turned out the pair were both helping promote upcoming horror film Smile 2.
The flick is out in cinemas on Friday.
It is the sequel to the 2022 film Smile, starring Kevin Bacon’s daughter Sosie.
Costing $17million to make, it raked in an incredible $217m at the box office.
And the latest movie follows a new character who is plagued by creepy smiling visions.
Whether it’s the Mets or the Dodgers who will be smiling at the end of their series remains to be seen.
The saga is currently tied at 1-1 after two thrilling games.
The first tie finished 9-0 to the Dodgers, with the Mets winning the second 7-3.
Fans reacted to the plant breaking character, with one saying: “Imagine he didn’t break and the ball hit him.”
Another declared: “I feel uncomfortable.”
One noted: “Bro lost his paycheck.”
Another added: “Sorry for the people that had to sit next to them.”
THE Detroit Lions have moved to replace star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson after his injury nightmare.
Hutchinson was ruled out for the season after fracturing his tibia in Sunday’s win at the Dallas Cowboys.
The 24-year-old is the heart and soul of the Lions defense and losing him was a major blow.
Detroit announced a roster move Tuesday in a bid to fill the massive void.
Defensive end Isaiah Thomas was signed from the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad.
Thomas, 25, was taken in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.
He spent two seasons in Cleveland before moving across Ohio to Cincinnati this year.
The defensive end played 10 times for the Browns in the 2022 season and had nine tackles, one sack and a fumble recovery.
Hutchinson’s injury was so bad that Fox NFL cameras refused to show a replay on Sunday.
He suffered the injury in the third quarter at AT&T Stadium when trying to tackle Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
His leg snapped just above the ankle after he collided with team-mate Alim McNeill.
Hutchinson grimaced in pain as medics rushed onto the field.
Players from both teams prayed for the 24-year-old as he was carried off the field.
He stayed in Dallas, Texas and immediately underwent surgery as his teammates dealt with his loss.
David Montgomery said, “Aidan is definitely the heartbeat of our team and that defense.”
Brian Branch added, “We know how much Hutch means to the team, the defense alone, he is the tone setter.
“To see him go down like that, you don’t wish that on none of us. We had to do it for Hutch.”
Head coach Dan Campbell said, “It’s hard when you lose somebody like him. But we’ll know a lot more after this and obviously wish him the best.
“It’s hard for everybody when you’re standing there and that’s one of yours and something like that happens.
“If you dwell on that too much and you start playing a little timid, that’s when you get hurt.
“So guys snapped right back in and they lived in the moment where we’re on.”
Detroit is 4-1 this season and targeting another deep playoff run.
The made it to the NFC Championship Game last season, where they were beaten by the San Francisco 49ers.

A MAN may have lived his whole life without ever realising he had three penises due to an ultra-rare condition.
The 78-year-old British man donated his body to the University of Birmingham Medical School, where students discovered a “remarkable anatomical variation” as they dissected him.
The man’s genitals appeared normal from the outside, but further examination revealed he had two more small penises “stacked” inside his groin.
Medics described their “serendipitous discovery” in a paper submitted to the Journal of Medical Case Reports.
According to the report, the man had triphallia, “a rare congenital anomaly describing the presence of three distinct penile shafts”.
Being born with more than one penis – known as polyphallia – is “extremely rare”, researchers stressed.
The condition only effects on in five to six million live births.
Papers published between 1606 and 2023 contain a smattering of reports of diphalia, when someone has two penises.
But triphalia has only been reported on once before, in a 3-month-old child who had extra glans growing out of the root of his penis and his scrotum.
This makes the 78-year-old man only the second known person to have been born with three members.
What makes his case unusual is the fact that the penises were “concealed within the scrotal sac”, so his genitals appeared normal from the outside.
This probably explains why the man’s triphallia wasn’t spotted until after his death.
According to local policy, the identity of people who’ve donated their bodies and their medical history can’t disclosed to researchers.
As a result, knowledge of the patient’s medical history is pretty limited to what medics could discover while dissecting the body.
The man was white, in his late 70s and six feet tall.
Though his “anatomical variation” may not have been flagged, it’s possible that the man may have experienced urinary tract infections, erectile dysfunction or fertility issues, the report authors noted.
They found three penis-like structures stacked next to each other.
The largest was on the only member that was visible externally, while the other two were nestled in the man’s scrotum .
Both of the smaller members had spongy erectile tissue – known as the corpora cavernosa – and tips.
FROM gangrene to amputations and food poisoning, here are a few bizarre and horrifying case reports involving the male member.
One of the extra penises also shared an urethra – the tube the transports pee out of the body – with the primary penis.
Genital development begins in the womb and starts to happen at four to seven weeks gestation.
The report states: “The penis develops from the genital tubercule [a structure which is the precursor of the penis in males and clitoris in females] and is controlled by dihydrotestosterone.
“Genetic abnormalities affecting the expression of androgen receptors may cause morphological genital abnormalities.
“In this case, there may have been triplication of the genital tubercle.
“The urethra originally developed in the secondary penis, however, when this penis failed to develop, the urethra diverted its course and developed in the primary penis instead.”
Extra members in people with polyphallia tend to be non-functional and smaller, and are often removed if they form externally.
“Without any symptoms and additional medical needs, concealed internal penises may not present themselves, preventing diagnosis,” the report authors wrote.
As a result, polyphallia may be more common that we realise.
Diagnosing the condition can be especially important in clinical settings, for example when a patient needs a catheter inserted or requires surgery.
Most cases of polyphallia tend to be evident at birth due to the presence of external extra penises, or they become apparent due to symptoms like sexual dysfunction or urinary incontinence in adulthood.
“We cannot be certain that in this case the defect remained unnoticed in life,” report authors wrote.
“If the defect had been noticed during his life it may have simply been left untouched due to the apparent lack of symptoms and its benign nature.”

ROMEO Beckham has confirmed he’s dating another nepo-baby after the couple were spotted snogging in the street in New York.
It came after the good-looking duo were seen partying together at Paris Fashion Week just last month.
The footballer, 22, was seen packing on the PDA with photographer Gray Sorrenti, 23, as they strolled down the street – seemingly not being able to keep their hands off each other during their day out.
Romeo donned a white vest top and jeans, paired with a black baseball cap and matching jumper tied around his neck.
Gray, who has shot campaigns for fashion houses Saint Laurent and Loewe to name a few, colour matched her man in a white best and jeans, pulling on a pair of sunglasses to accessorise.
She wrapped up in an oversized shirt which she wore with the buttons open and pulled her brunette locks back with a claw clip.
The couple didn’t appear to care who was watching as they embraced amid throngs of New Yorkers, with Gray wrapping her arms around David and Victoria Beckham‘s son Romeo’s neck.
They then continued to stroll down the street before meeting up with pals at a cafe.
Gray is the daughter of world-renowned fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti.
Her mum, Mary Frey, is known as an exceptional artist in her own right.
Speaking alongside her father to Vogue Magazine back in 2019, she revealed that she grew up in an “artistic universe” and “always knew” that she wanted to be a photographer.
She explained that her father “did not influence” her, and it came “naturally” to her.
During her high school years, Gray revealed that she spent “hours in his dark room” as they both have photography in common.
Romeo split from his long-term model girlfriend Mia Regan in February after five years.
At the time, Mia wrote on Instagram: “Love takes different forms & paths as you mature.
“We aren’t together romantically but we do share lots & lots of love for one another . . . after five years we friend-zoned each other — heheh.”
The Sun was first to report how Romeo had then signed up to celeb dating app Raya.
Since being back on the market, Romeo has been linked to a host of beauties.
Most notably of these is Amelia Gray Hamlin – who recently stunned fans as she stripped completely naked when she posed on a balcony.
It came just days after she went braless in a daring dress after stepping out with the former Brentford player.
He was seen sneaking out of a vodka party in London with Amelia, with the pair then seen hopping into a black cab together to continue their night.
Romeo was also recently linked to talent manager and influencer Sophie Julia on a date at London’s swanky Chiltern Firehouse.
They were also looking cosy together on their night out in the UK capital.
AT LEAST 94 people have been killed after an oil tanker exploded following a horror crash in Nigeria.
The driver lost control of the wheel on a busy highway in Jigawa as the tanker “somersaulted” in the air as fuel spilt across the road before erupting into a interrupting inferno.
Locals had gathered to collect the dropped fuel as the fire started – leaving almost 100 dead, police told CNN.
Another 50 are said to be seriously injured and receiving treatment in hospital.
Jigawa police spokesperson Shiisu Lawan Adam said: “The driver lost control and the tanker somersaulted and spilled fuel into a drainage ditch.
“As a result, residents rushed to scoop the fuel when the explosion happened.”
The death toll is expected to continue to rise from the blast.
The tragedy took place late on Tuesday evening at around 11:30pm in the northern Nigerian village of Majiyain, Jigawa.
The tanker driver lost control near to Khadija University and was heading towards Nguru in Yobe.
Flames and thick plumes of smoke continued to rise across the sky into the early hours of Wednesday.
The regions Commissioner of Police sent his condolences to those killed as he warned others to avoid the area.
A statement said: “The state’s commissioner of police, A.T Abdullahi, condoles with the people of Majia town and Jigawa in general for the great loss.
“Avoid the scene of any petrol tanker accident as it always results in death by fire.”
Those injured have been rushed to both Ringim and Hadejia General Hospitals for further treatment on their burns.
Fatal truck accidents are common across Nigeria.
In September, 48 people were killed after a fuel tanker collided with a large truck in Nigeria’s north-central Niger state.
Across 2020, 535 people died in petrol tanker crashes with another 1,142 people being left injured, according to Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps.
In the same 12 month period there was 1,531 petrol tankers involved in major collisions.
Many experts say the worrying trend is because of poorly looked after roads, reckless driving and a lack of regular car maintenance.
A RECENT lawsuit filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs could shed light on why scores of baby oil were found by cops when they raided his home earlier this year.
The suit, which accuses disgraced rapper Diddy of child sexual assault, claims he laced “lotions or similar body oils” with GHB – commonly known as the ‘date rape drug’.
![Law enforcement were removing boxes of evidence and a laptop from Diddy's Star Island mansion in Miami Beach during raid over alleged sex trafficking. Federal agents from Homeland Security can be seen at the sprawling waterfront pad in these images, taken March 25, 2024. The Miami and Los Angeles homes owned by the embattled rap mogul - real name Sean Combs - are being raided by federal agents in connection with sex trafficking allegations. Media was also gathered outside the two flashy multi million dollar properties Diddy owns on Star Island which are next door to each other. 25 Mar 2024 Pictured: law enforcement at Diddy's Miami Beach home.

The lawsuit – one of six fresh claims filed in New York on Monday – details “allegations of Combs dousing victims in lotions or similar body oils… laced with GHB, so that the drug would be absorbed through the victim’s skin and make it easier to assault him or her”.
Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is hard to detect when slipped into a drink and was originally developed as an anaesthetic – producing feelings of drowsiness or relaxation.
It comes in liquid form, powder or crystal form and can be absorbed through the skin when mixed into lubricants, Buzzfeed and Channel 4 reports.
On March 25 this year federal police raided Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami mansions, seizing over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
Pictures showed cops removing evidence boxes from his home – with an unsealed indictment revealing they had also found narcotics and three AR-15 rifles.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 in Manhattan by Homeland Security on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
He was charged on three federal counts with one alleging he forced his victims to take part in drug-fuelled sex parties he called “Freak Offs.”
Diddy is facing a slew of accusations including rape and sexual assault from some 120 alleged victims in different criminal and civil lawsuits.
One filed by an unnamed John Doe on Monday accuses him of sexual assault when the alleged victim was only 16.
It describes the disgraced rapper as “a menace to society, women and children”.
Diddy has denied the allegations against him and his lawyer Marc Agnifilio has hit out against claims about the amount of baby oil found in his home.
He told The New York Post: “I don’t think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot.
“I mean there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know.
“And, you know, these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do, you know.”
Diddy is being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center and has been denied bail twice.
The Sun has reached out to Diddy’s legal team for comment.

BEFORE Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on Monday night, it had been highly speculated that the rap star would find himself in custody after he was repeatedly hit with disturbing accusations – and had two of his mansions raided by the feds.
His mounting legal troubles finally came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal counts, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to take part in drug-fueled sex parties he called “Freak Offs.”
Hours before his arrest, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the feds investigating Combs were secretly liaising with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors on gangland activities.
The development also came after Combs was named 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case.
Aside from the Tupac probe, Combs was already facing a slew of lawsuits, including one he settled with his ex, Cassie Ventura, after she accused him of rape and abuse.
Disturbing hotel surveillance video from 2016 showed Combs chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and beating her in a hallway.
Two months earlier, in March 2024, two of Combs’ mansions were raided by federal investigators, who seized three AR-15s, drugs, and 1,000 bottles of lube which were part of his “Freak Off” supplies.
In addition to his federal criminal charges, Combs also faces a handful of lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.
Music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed one suit in February 2024, claiming Combs forced him to hire sex workers and participate in sex acts while he worked on his latest album.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking charges against him, but his battle is far from over.
He faces life in prison if he’s convicted on all counts.
AN EXPERT has issued an update on the chances of seeing a “Halloween comet” very soon and the outlook isn’t good.
Skygazers have already been treated to a rare comet that only passes by Earth every 80,000 years over the last few days.
Comet C/2023 A3, also known as Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, was visible across parts of the UK and US leaving a long orange tail in its path as it passed overhead.
The rock, effectively a block of ancient ice, is 30,000 miles in diameter, with a tail stretching more than 18million miles.
Tuesday was the last best chance to see the comet, with visibility reducing significantly each day from now on.
Space fans were hoping to catch a glimpse of another, dubbed the “Halloween comet” but an astronomer has cast doubts over the event.
Officially known as C/2024 S1 (Atlas), the comet is actually a fragment of a much bigger comet that broke apart more than a thousand years ago.
It was only spotted on September 27 and experts had expected the rock to appear brighter than Venus.
People had October 28 marked in their calendars to see the comet.
But Dr Qicheng Zhang, an astronomer at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, has warned it might not be visible at all.
“There’s just as good a chance it falls apart before its close encounter with the sun on Oct. 28, and that would result in virtually nothing being visible afterward in November,” Dr Zhang told Forbes.
Although the comet is currently at a pretty safe distance from the Sun, it is “possible that strong vaporization of a large amount of gas occurred which, together with the tidal or rotational forces acting on the comet’s nucleus may have led to its fragmentation,” according to astronomerstelegram.org.
However, others have noted that Comet C/2023 A3 faced similar rumours and still survived to be visible, so all hope isn’t lost just yet.
There’s also a chance of a “headless” comet becoming visible instead.
Astronomers are closely tracking the rock so we will have a better idea about the chances of seeing it nearer to the time.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a space sighting to behold, you might want to look out for the Hunter’s Supermoon instead this week.
Here's what you need to know, according to Nasa...
