Published | Updated

October won't just feature pumpkins, ghouls and goblins this year, it'll also mark the first time in forever that "Roundball Rock" will be on NBA broadcasts ... and the man who created the iconic jingle tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be more fired up for it!

We caught up with John Tesh out in Los Angeles last week ... and he could hardly contain his excitement when talking to us about the song's return to airwaves.

The tune, of course, was a staple of NBC's coverage of the NBA throughout the 1990s ... but when the network lost the rights to broadcast Association games roughly two decades ago, the melody went on hiatus.

The Peacock is returning to pro basketball as part of the 11-year, $76 billion broadcasting deal with Disney and Amazon ... and it's clear they're not messing around by bringing in the NBA GOAT to its roster.

Unclear what exactly this means for No. 23 -- he doesn't really have much experience in TV ... so the announcement is pretty surprising to say the least.

Menudo Promoter Menendez Doc Trashed Group's Rep!!! I Want $500 Mil From NBC

Published | Updated

NBC's documentary about Menudo and the group's ties to Jose Menendez is doing serious damage to the Menudo brand, and now their promoter wants the network to fork over at least half a billion dollars!

Darrin McGillis is suing over "Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed" -- which has been streaming on Peacock since 2023 -- and he's particularly upset about what he calls "scandalous, false, and defamatory labels of 'sexual,' 'molestation,' 'gay,' and ultimately 'homosexual' behaviors of past members of the Menudo group."

The documentary features former member Roy Rosselló Diaz alleging Jose -- father of Erik and Lyle Menendez -- molested him back in the '80s. However, in his lawsuit, McGillis tries to discredit Roy ... claiming he became a heavy drug user after leaving the group, and was bitter about several homosexual relationships he'd had with older men.

American actress Tiya Sircar was 33 years old when she first booked the role as Vicky -- the charity worker who ends up in "The Bad Place," but evolves into a creative architect -- on NBC's sitcom "The Good Place" in 2016.

Guess what she looks like now in her 40s!

Here's the deal ... Flav took to X to air some grievances about NBC kicking him out of the Backstreet Boys dressing room at the the Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony Wednesday night -- despite all his work with them during the Olympics.

However, sources tell TMZ security had a very good reason to kick him out of the event ... 'cause he wasn't on the list of expected attendees.

Published

Pete Davidson's making sure his friends on "Bupkis" have good memories of him -- as he makes his exit, Pete's dishin' out thousands to some of the show's staff ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us, Pete's handing out cash prizes -- totaling hundreds of thousands -- to some creators who worked on season 1 of "Bupkis" to thank them for all their hard work on the show, pre-cancelation.

We're told Davidson gave the money to just a handful of people ... all of whom were involved with season 1, but who weren't necessarily working on the now-dead second season.

Pete Davidson Reparte regalos al equipo de "Bupkis" Puro efectivo!!!

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson se está asegurando de que sus amigos en "Bupkis" tengan buenos recuerdos de él mientras cierra ese capítulo, ya que el actor está repartiendo miles de dólares a algunos miembros del personal, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Las fuentes nos dicen que Pete está entregando premios en efectivo, por un total de cientos de miles, a algunos de los creadores que trabajaron en la primera temporada de "Bupkis". Todo, para darles las gracias por su duro trabajo, antes de su cancelación.

Nos dicen que Davidson le dio dinero a solo un puñado de personas, todos quienes estaban involucrados en la temporada 1, pero que no estaban necesariamente trabajando en la segunda temporada, ahora cancelada.

Pete Davidson Se aleja de "Bupkis" Concentrado en grandes películas

Published

Pete Davidson se está despidiendo de "Bupkis" y su esperada 2ª temporada, pues el actor y comediante ha decidido dirigir su atención hacia la gran pantalla.

El ex alumno de "SNL" le dijo a THR el jueves que estaba feliz de haber tenido la oportunidad de contar su propia historia a través de "Bupkis", teniendo en cuenta lo documentados que están sus movimientos y su vida privada en los medios.

Y añadió: "También siento que esta parte de mi vida ha terminado. Estoy muy emocionado por este próximo capítulo y porque ustedes vean el trabajo. Gracias a todos los que me apoyan porque estoy eternamente agradecido".

La publicación informó que el agente de Pete le mandó un correo a Peacock a principios de esta semana para avisarles que se alejaba de la serie, pero al parecer no se lo dijo a la productora de la serie de Lorne Michaels, Broadway Video, hasta más tarde. Una vez que se enteraron de la situación, siguieron adelante con la cancelación.

THR también informa que el final de la serie no tiene nada que ver con los grandes recortes presupuestarios que está viviendo la industria de Hollywood en este momento. La única razón es que Pete quería avanzar hacia otras cosas.

Ahora sabemos cómo se ve este nuevo horizonte para Pete. Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que pronto saldrá una nueva película en la que ha estado trabajando, con nada menos que la leyenda de la comedia Eddie Murphy, así como la nominada al Emmy Keke Palmer, quien fue fichada como co protagonista.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que, en general, Pete se ha centrado en el stand-up y el cine y que quiere mantener su atención allí. Por lo tanto, no habrá más televisión por ahora.

Eso concuerda con lo que el propio actor y comediante ha estado haciendo estos últimos años. Es cierto que estuvo trabajando en "Bupkis", pero también ha estado construyendo su currículum cinematográfico en silencio en películas como "Dumb Money", "Bodies Bodies Bodies", "El Escuadrón Suicida", "Fast X" y otras.

Por supuesto, echaremos de menos "Bupkis", que hizo vibrar a todo el mundo el año pasado con sus 8 episodios de media hora protagonizados por Edie Falco y Joe Pesci como la madre y el abuelo de Pete. Era muy al estilo de Dave.

Peacock la renovó para una segunda temporada en junio, solo dos meses después de su estreno, ya que tuvo una gran acogida por parte de los espectadores y la crítica. Con todo ese impulso, parecía que el cielo era el límite para la serie. Pero ahora, Pete está despidiéndose de ella y dando vuelta la página.

Por cosas más grandes y mejores, de las cuales parece que habrá muchas en el futuro.

PETE DAVIDSON Walks Away from 'Bupkis' Focused On Big Movies Coming Soon!!!

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson's bowing out of "Bupkis" -- bidding adieu to the planned 2nd season of his own show ... and it's all because he's turning his attention to the big screen.

The 'SNL' alum told THR Thursday that he was happy to have the opportunity to tell his story in his own words through "Bupkis," after having his every move and private life documented in the media.

He adds, "I do also feel that this part of my life is finished. I'm very excited for this next chapter and for you guys to see the work. Thank you to all who support me for I am forever grateful."

The publication went on to report that Pete's agent emailed Peacock earlier this week, breaking the news about him walking away from the show ... but apparently didn't tell the show's production company, Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video, until later. Once they caught wind of the situation, they rolled on with the cancelation.

Another point ... THR reports the end of the show has nothing to do with industry-wide budget cuts plaguing Hollywood right now ... it's all about Pete wanting to move onto greener pastures.

We now know what that new horizon looks like for Pete -- sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ he's got a huge new movie coming out, with none other than comedy legend Eddie Murphy, as well as Emmy nominee Keke Palmer, signed on to costar ... something he's been working on lately.

Our sources tell us that, generally, Pete has been focused on his stand-up and movie career -- and that he wants to keep his attention there. So on its face, no more TV for now.

That tracks with what Pete's been doing these past few years -- yes, he was working on "Bupkis" ... but he's been quietly building out his film resume behind the scenes with flicks like "Dumb Money," "Bodies Bodies Bodies," "The Suicide Squad," "Fast X" and others.

Of course, "Bupkis" will be missed -- as it had everyone buzzing last year with its 8-episode half-hour series which starred Edie Falco and Joe Pesci as Pete's mother and grandfather. It was very 'Dave'-esque.

It got picked up for a second season by Peacock in June, just 2 months after its debut with a strong reception from viewers and critics alike. With all that momentum, it seemed like the sky was the limit for the show. But now, Pete's pulling the plug and moving on.

Here's to bigger and better things ... of which it sounds like there'll be lots for him.

Lindsay Lohan Vuelve al ruedo con su nueva película... Fans vueltos locos como en los viejos tiempos

Published | Updated

¡El renacimiento de Lindsay Lohan está en pleno apogeo! Basta echar un vistazo al frenesí que ha provocado su paso por Nueva York esta semana durante la promoción de su nueva película, tanto que pareciera que es 2004 de nuevo.

La actriz se entregó plenamente a su regreso a los focos el jueves mientras llegaba a los estudios de NBC para promocionar su próxima película de Netflix "Irish Wish", que está previsto que salga el 15 de marzo, y si esto no grita lista A, no sabemos qué lo haría.

Echa un vistazo, LiLo se adueñó del momento mientras firmaba autógrafos y dejaba que los paparazzi le dispararan para sacarle fotos. Incluso tuvo la amabilidad de hablar con nuestro fotógrafo para responder a algunas preguntas.

Le preguntamos cómo la maternidad la estaba tratando desde que dio la bienvenida a su bebé, Luai, que comparte con su marido Bader Shammas y realmente nos permitió hacernos una idea, diciéndole a nuestra chica en cámara que le encanta ser madre.

Lindsay ha tenido a su familia a su lado mientras trabaja en Estados Unidos. Recuerden que ella vive en el extranjero y con todos los proyectos que tiene por estos días, está claro que está lista para abrazar el estrellato que alguna vez tuvo durante su juventud.

Es bastante impresionante de ver, para ser sinceros, es como una especie de momento redondo para ella y parece más que lista para reclamar lo que es suyo.

Recuerden Lindsay hizo un breve cameo/aparición en el reciente remake de "Mean Girls" y también se confirmó su participación para una secuela de "Freaky Friday", por lo que está bien ocupada.

Por supuesto, ella saltó a la fama como una estrella infantil en "The Parent Trap" y se convirtió en un icono en películas para jóvenes y adolescentes, pero con el tiempo, después de algunas turbulencias, se alejó del centro de los focos y se fue al extranjero.

Es genial que Lindsay esté reclamando su lugar en Hollywood. Parece que sus fans están aquí para darle la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos. ¡Nos encanta verlo!
