Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny Leaving Same Restaurant ... Amid Dating Rumors
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are reported to have been making out earlier this week -- and now that the word is out ... they seem to have moved on to the hanging out phase. 😅
Check out these pics of Kendall leaving Wally's in Beverly Hills Saturday night -- as you can see, she's walking out solo (with security in tow, of course) ... but not too long after, her rumored new flame walked out of the same restaurant -- but from the backside.
Indeed ... we're told this appeared to be a double date with the Biebers. Kendall showed up first at around 8:30 PM ... and Bad Bunny arrived shortly afterward on his own, around 8:42 PM. After that, Justin and Hailey followed suit ... also showing up separately/staggered.
The pair left around the same time, but they trickled out one by one it seems -- with Kendall heading out of the front entrance at 11:06 PM ... and BB leaving the back way a few minutes earlier. The Biebers also left through the back -- but almost an hour beforehand.
A lot of attempted sleight of hand being done, but in the end ... it looks like the secret may be out -- namely, Kendall and Bad Bunny appear to be seeing each other. As for what that means exactly ... anyone's guess. But based on eyewitness sightings, they're very friendly.
A Deuxmoi blind item outed the suspected couple on Thursday, claiming they'd been seen out at an L.A. club the night prior locking lips and even leaving in the same car as well.
When word spread about their possible romance, the internet broke down collectively ... with a lot of Bad Bunny fans decrying the fact that he may be hooking up with a KarJenner.
The reason ... well, it seems folks feel like KJ's brood can be problematic -- including Kendall, who's been wrapped up in scandals here and there over the years. Bad Bunny, meanwhile, is widely beloved and lays low ... so it would appear his supporters think he's entering dangerous waters by tangling with the model, who's very much in the spotlight a lot.
The heart wants what it wants, we suppose.

Belzer was most known for portraying Det. John Munch on 'Law & Order: SVU', dating back to 1996. He'd starred in over 300 episodes of the fan-fave cop series ... playing the quick-witted and razor-sharp Munch for several years. His character was written off in 2016.
His famous police character had also existed even before 'SVU' came around ... Munch had existed in another TV universe -- namely, on the classic hit 'Homicide,' where he starred opposite Ned Beatty, Daniel Baldwin and other big actors for seven straight seasons.
Prior to his stint in network TV, Belzer was a renowned comedian ... as we mentioned, he appeared on 'SNL' during its inception period -- but he also did a lot of standup and sketch comedy on his own, plus ... he hosted variety shows/specials as well.
Beyond his esteemed work with Dick Wolf and co. ... Belzer had several other acting credits under his belt. Some other famous shows he'd been on include ... "Moonlighting," "Miami Vice," "D.C. Follies," "Monsters," "The Flash," "Nurses," 'Lois & Clark,' "The X-Files," "Arrested Development," "The Wire," "30 Rock," "American Dad" and many, many more.
His film resume was impressive too ... he'd starred in "Scarface," "Fame," "Fletch Lives," "The Bonfires of the Vanities," "Species II," "Man on the Moon," "The Puppet Masters" and others.

The last we got Belzer in the street, he was shooting jokes from the hip ... talking conspiracy theories and showing off that legendary dry humor he was known for. Super nice guy.
Belzer is survived by his wife, Harlee, and his extended family. He was 78.
RIP

DGA Awards Judd Apatow Skewers Cruise, Butler, Even Maude!!!
Judd Apatow hilariously mocked the DGA Awards Saturday night and the actors who were part of it ... it's really funny!
Apatow hosted the 75th awards ceremony, but it wasn't broadcast anywhere -- no video at all. He groused the damn show wasn't even on the radio ...“This show is being live-streamed to the back of this room. This show is so irrelevant, it’s shocking Elon Musk hasn’t bought it yet.”
Apatow lasered in on Austin Butler, who had said he had trouble shaking the Elvis twang. Judd warned the world ... Austin's next role could be the lead in "The Jerry Lewis Story."
And then there was Tom Cruise, who famously does his own stunts even though he's north of 60. Judd said, “Tell Tom that Thelma and Louise didn’t exactly jump over the cliff themselves. Tom, have you heard of CGI?”
But he wasn't done, suggesting Tom's stunts have the markings of a Scientology ad.
And then there's this ... “I believe our friend Aubrey Plaza is here. I can’t believe you have a worse seat than Fkboy Island. You gotta talk to your publicist.”
Judd then referenced his famous daughter ... “Sam Levinson is here tonight. He’s the writer-director-creator of Euphoria. My daughter Maude is on that show. It’s very successful. My only frustration, I kind of want her to have a baby. She said, ‘dad, I play a 16-year-old on a high school TV show.’ I’ve seen the show. I don’t think it would be that weird to have a little crack baby on that show. Your baby can play the crack baby, a two-salary situation on that show.”
Now that's an awards show!

Tom Sizemore had a MAJOR health scare ... and now the actor is fighting for his life in the hospital.
His manager, Charles Lago, tells TMZ ... Tom was hanging out at his L.A. home around 2 AM Saturday when he suffered a brain aneurysm and collapsed into unconsciousness.
Lago says someone found Tom and quickly called 911. EMS units responded and took him to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

At this point, Tom is in a "bad way," Lago says, and his chances for a full recovery seem uncertain.
Of course, Tom has had a litany of problems over the years with drug abuse and run-ins with the law. He has been arrested for DUI, domestic violence and possession of a controlled substance.
But, he's also been a successful actor who has appeared in some of Hollywood's most popular films, such as "Saving Private Ryan," "Black Hawk Down," "Natural Born Killers" and "Heat."
Feel better, Tom. Fingers crossed.

Kim Kardashian Latest Alleged Stalker Arrested ... Violated TRO from Jan.

Kim Kardashian's latest alleged stalker just can't seem to stay away from her -- and because of that ... it landed him in handcuffs.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jomoine Zigler was arrested Friday after allegedly making his way into Kim's gated community and getting pretty close to her actual house. We're told he didn't end up making it onto the property itself, but was right outside of it.
That was enough for Kim's camp to call in the cavalry ... the L.A. Sheriff's Dept. showed up and took him to jail -- where he was booked for misdemeanor violation of a protective order.
You'll recall ... Kim got a temporary restraining order against this guy in late January -- this after claiming he'd visited her home multiple times in person ... while also allegedly sending her gifts and other bizarre items. She also said he'd referred to her as his wife online.
The judge signed off on the TRO, and a hearing was scheduled for this month to discuss the possibility of a permanent one being granted. Sounds like the weirdo just couldn't wait.
Zigler is being held on $20,000 bail, and we're told he won't be released until he posts it. Our sources tell us they have a feeling he's likely to reoffend if he's out on the streets.

He's also planning to include artists from younger generations.

'RHOC' Gretchen Rossi, Slade Smiley Slammed for 'Capitalizing' on Son's Death Source Calls It a Smear

Exclusive
- 1.9K shares
5:43 PM PT -- A source close to the 'RHOC' couple tells TMZ ...Michelle's accusations are absurd and need to stop, because this clearly hurts Slade ... who lost a son here. We're told Slade had taken every opportunity to be with Grayson, despite being denied access to his boy, allegedly by Michelle, hundreds of times.
Our source also tells us there are texts and emails to back this up -- namely, Slade asking to see Grayson, only to be shut down time and again ... including, we're told, one instance where Slade and Skylar tried and failed to see him a week before he passed.
We're told Slade is devastated that he had to say his goodbyes at the morgue, and that no parent should ever have to be put through that. Our sources say Michelle should be ashamed for trying to smear them during a time of grief/healing.
'Real Housewives of Orange County' alum Gretchen Rossi and her fiancé, Slade Smiley are getting dragged through the mud for paying tribute to Slade's late son ... because the biological mother claims Gretchen and Slade haven't even been around for him in the last decade.
Slade's ex, Michelle Arroyo tells TMZ ... Gretchen's recent social media posts about the loss of 22-year-old Grayson are disrespectful -- saying the couple has "grossly misrepresented the true nature of their relationship with Grayson, which was virtually nonexistent."
Grayson passed earlier this month after a long battle with brain cancer -- something he fought since he was 6. Since his death, Gretchen's been posting nonstop about how heartbroken she is, but Michelle is calling BS.
She tells us Gretchen hasn't made the effort in the past 10 years to see him ... calling a so-called relationship "nonexistent."
On top of that, Michelle, who has lost her home, business, and life savings while solely taking care of Grayson’s needs, says she can't keep quiet any longer about Slade's years of "inexcusable behavior and neglect," adding Grayson desperately wanted a relationship with his dad.
Michelle adds she had to hire lawyers to get Slade to cough up his child support payments -- claiming he still owes $152K in support, with his last payment coming in back in 2019.
Her family started a GoFundMe to help with the cost of a memorial to properly honor Greyson ... as well as to cover the outstanding medical expenses half of which Slade is responsible for but has never paid.

X-Pac, member of the legendary "New World Order" faction says Roman Reigns, Jimmy and Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, and formerly Sami Zayn's "The Bloodline" is "right up there" with NWO ... and he understands why fans compare the two groups.
We spoke to Pac, real name Sean Waltman, about the comparisons being made between the factions, and he admitted "the magnitude is similar" between the two groups and the impact they've had on wrestling.
Of course, many wrestling fans believe The Bloodline storyline is one of, if not the greatest, in WWE history.
As for NWO, it originally started out as a group in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) with Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall. Their goal was to take over WCW by any means necessary, destroying everything in their path.
In 1996, Waltman joined NWO in WCW, becoming the group's sixth member. The WWE inducted NWO into its Hall of Fame in 2020, bestowing the honor on Waltman, Nash, Hall, and Hogan.
NWO will be featured on the season premiere of A&E's docuseries "Biography: WWE Legends" on February 19 ... and Waltman's pumped for the show, which will examine how the group changed the sports entertainment landscape.
"It's nice to have been a part of something that people want to see tv shows made about it, Pac said. "It feels really freaking good."
"You look up when you watch Raw or Smackdown and it's still tons of NWO shirts spread in the crowd and they stick out like a sore thumb."

'Bachelorette' Alum Josh Murray Pumped For Senior 'Bachelor' ... Probs Better Than the OG!!!

Exclusive

Josh Murray has high hopes for a new 'Bachelor' spinoff about senior citizens finding love ... and he laid out some compelling reasons why the show might be better with older folks.
We got the 'Bachelorette' and "Bachelor in Paradise" alum at LAX, where gave us an insider's perspective on the upcoming series, "The Golden Bachelor".
ICYMI, "The Bachelor" producer, Mike Fleiss recently announced the new series is in the works, and that, naturally, created a lot of curiosity within Bachelor nation.
Josh tells us he's all in for the new show because, in his words ... old people need loving too, and there's a better chance they'll find it on a reality show than younger people.
Josh's prediction is the series will be a lot more genuine as older bachelors and bachelorettes won't be out for fame or money ... and will actually sign up just to find love.
He also thinks the hometown visit episodes would get a fun new twist -- instead of meeting parents, suitors can get the stamp of approval from kids or even grandkids!
And, don't get him started on the fantasy suites episode -- he's envisioning a stash of little blue pills.😂
Fair to say he's pumped to see it, and if the series is a hit, Josh is up for making a comeback ... several years from now, of course!

Barney OG Voice Actor Likes New Look ... Wants to Return As Voice!!!

Exclusive
- 3.1K shares
You can count Bob West, the original voice of Barney, among the minority who are feeling the reimagined purple dinosaur, and he tells us the new -- let's say more energized -- look is exactly what the franchise needs.
Bob, who became the voice of Barney way back in 1988, tells TMZ ... it's really exciting to see Barney making a comeback after 14 years off the grid, and the friendly dino's spruced-up image fits with the times.
Of course, Bob's reaction is a far cry from the popular sentiment being shared online ... with most folks dragging the rebooted Barney all over social media.
But Bob, who voiced Barney on "Barney & Friends" on PBS from 1992 to 2000, says the franchise needed fresh programming and a fresh image ... and he's excited to see what the future holds for the new Barney.
Mattel says the new show won't debut until next year, and Bob tells us he's hoping to voice the character again ... he even did the classic voice for us, and he's still got it down! He hasn't been contacted or spoken to anyone from the production yet, but he'd love to chat with 'em if the role's still open.
Bob says there's a balance between honoring tradition and bringing Barney up to date ... and he thinks his voice work could bridge that gap.
It's funny ... Bob says lots of parents who introduce their kids to the OG Barney hire him to send Barney voice messages to their kids, but all they have to show their children are old VHS tapes and grainy footage.
With a new Barney on deck, Bob's happy folks will have some new, high-definition programming.
