New video shows that Ian Ziering was the first one to get physical in his brawl with that mini-bike “gang” on Sunday. In the video, you can see the bikers drive around Ian’s car while it’s stopped in traffic, then get in front of it. That’s when Ian gets out and lunges at one of them. TMZ spoke to two of the riders, and they say the attack was completely unprovoked. According to them, they were splitting lanes, which is totally legal in California . . . and maybe Ian got angry because he thought they were getting too close to him. They also suggested he may have been having a bad day and decided to take it out on them.
Kelly Clarkson finally revealed how she lost a significant amount of weight. Of course, it amounts to the classic diet and exercise. “I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor, a couple years I didn’t. And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway . . .”I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat, sorry, vegetarians in the world!” Kelly also says that walking around her new home in New York City has been a workout. And she adds, quote, “I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down.” She DIDN’T acknowledge if she also takes weight loss drugs, like Ozempic.
Rascal Flatts guitarist Joe Don Rooney hit up X to address a number of things . . . including the rumor that he’s transitioning to a woman. He said, quote, “NO, I’m not transitioning to be a woman. That thought has never entered my mind.

Quote, “My drinking had been an issue for many years . . . and as they say in AA and treatment, it’s a progressive disease.” Rooney believes that GOD led him into that tree and saved his life. He went to rehab and he’s now 28 months sober. Quote, “It’s an absolute blessing in ways I can barely put into proper words.”
