Published

Krayzie Bone's no longer on the mend -- the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper's put his September hospitalization behind him, and says he's looking forward to hopping back onstage with his group!!!

In a new interview with Spin, Krayzie says he's lucky to be alive and admits he really didn't know the severity of his condition, until he woke up 10 days later in the hospital surrounded by friends, fam and his BTNH brothers.

Apparently, he's thuggish ruggish inside and out ... he'll be reuniting with Bone this Saturday in Los Angeles, marking his first performance since falling ill.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... KB underwent a 2nd round of surgery to fix a bleeding lung after his pulmonary sarcoidosis -- which causes severe lung inflammation -- spiraled out of control.

Doctors still have KB on medication and a travel restriction. He says he lost 25lbs while hospitalized but has been in the gym getting his fitness back together. 💪🏾

Jonathan Majors 911 Call For GF ... 'Attempted Suicide, I Think'

Published | Updated

Jonathan Majors thought Grace Jabbari tried taking her own life after their messy breakup, telling 911 dispatchers she insinuated as much before finding her unconscious on the floor of his apartment.

TMZ obtained the 911 call Jonathan made the day he was arrested ... and he says he's calling for an "attempted suicide."

THE NEXT MORNING

Jonathan tells the dispatcher Grace said she might harm herself after they broke up, and he spent the night in a hotel. JM claims Grace had locked him out of his penthouse apartment in Manhattan.

In the audio, Jonathan says the building's doorman had to help him get inside, where he found Grace passed out in his closet. He says she's naked from the waist down, appears to be unconscious and has a cut behind her ear.

Jonathan stays on the line until first responders arrive ... and he seems concerned about Grace. The dispatcher asks him if she had fallen, but he's unsure.

BREAKING DOWN THE EVIDENCE

As we reported ... two NYPD officers also responded, and they testified that when Grace woke up, she asked how she'd gotten there and asked if Majors was there or if he was outside, seemingly worried.

The cops also testified Grace asked them why her ear had hurt -- remember, the cut ear is one of the reasons Jonathan is being prosecuted -- but they conceded on the stand they did not ask her if she'd fallen.

Remember ... Grace told cops Jonathan had attacked her following a dispute the night before, and he ended up being arrested.

The 911 call is part of an evidence dump from Majors' assault trial ... which continues today. The prosecution has already rested its case, with Majors' defense starting to call their witnesses to the stand.

Oprah Reacts to Her Own Portrait ... At Smithsonian Unveiling

Published | Updated

Oprah Winfrey is now one of a handful of notable public figures to get drawn into the record books for one of America's most famous museums, and her reaction to the paint job is ... positive?

Here's the deal ... the entertainment mogul received the honor of a massive portrait of herself that's going into the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The unveiling went down Wednesday morning, with Oprah's friends and family in attendance.

Shawn Michael Warren is the artist, and he joined O to pull off the drape covering his work, which looks to stand at about 7 feet tall or so. Keep in mind, Oprah had never seen the finished product.

Once the curtain was yanked ... she could see the painting in all its glory, depicting her in a purple dress, smiling wide in her "prayer garden." To us, the portrait looks fantastic, and most everyone there seemed to agree too ... but it's hard to tell if Oprah liked it.

Maybe we're reading too much into how she reacted, but she certainly looked shocked. It's just not clear if it's a look of stunned joy, or astonished mortification. 😅

We'd like to assume it's the former, and that she digs it ... because honestly, it is quite nice.

Anyway, this thing is permanently the museum's forever -- and like we mentioned, O is joining an exclusive club ... especially as it pertains to modern celebs. The Smithsonian features portraits of tons of famous figures throughout history, but only a handful of 21st-century celebs ... not including presidents, like Barack Obama, who has one.

Another A-lister who's been honored with a permanent portrait there ... Beyoncé's portrait was installed back in 2019.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Student Slammed on Head in Video ... School Working with Cops

Published | Updated

A student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Florida -- where a mass shooting took place a few years ago -- was met with pure brutality by his own peers ... as seen in this shocking video.

Several clips depicting a recent fight among students at MSDHS are making the rounds online, and in all of them ... you can see one kid getting jumped by multiple other teens who are ganging up on him and pummeling him with blows.

Eventually, you see him get picked up by at least a few students ... who then throw him back on the ground, and he lands awkwardly on his neck and head -- instantly going limp.

Of course, a crowd formed around the chaos ... and most of the students cruelly stood by and watched.

But, some did attempt to check on the boy -- who appeared completely unconscious -- and they rolled him over on his back. You can hear someone ask if he's breathing, but others are more entertained by the fact he was KO'd.

The video is rightly sparking outrage in the community, which already went through utter devastation in 2018 when Nikolas Cruz claimed the lives of 17 people.

There's been speculation this might've taken place on school grounds, in one of the parking lots, but the school principal tells TMZ ... that's not the case.

Michelle Kefford says this took place at a nearby park, and did indeed involve students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas. In a note sent to parents, she adds ... "While this park is not a school or district-operated property, the safety of our students is always our priority, and we are working with law enforcement to help identify those involved."

She continues, "Due to the open investigation, I am not able to provide additional details, but I want to assure you this situation is being taken seriously. Please do remind your students to say something if they see something. As always, thank you for your support."

Unclear what condition the injured student is in at this point -- some people online have claimed he actually fractured his skull ... but is apparently conscious now.

SELENA GOMEZ CUDDLES UP WITH BF BENNY BLANCO ... Enjoy the View, Haters!!!

Published | Updated

Selena Gomez is rubbing it in the faces of all those folks hating on her new romance ... sharing yet another loved-up image with new BF Benny Blanco a week after confirming they're dating.

In the black and white image shared to her IG Stories Tuesday night, the "Only Murders In The Building" star cuddles up to her man ... sporting a big grin as she adoringly grabs onto his arm.

This is just the latest B&W snap Selena has shared with Benny -- who she's apparently been dating for 6 months ... which was right around the time of her 31st birthday.

Indicating they're super serious, she's also posted shots of her "B" ring, and she showed off the sparkler while enjoying a beverage in one cozy snap.

It's been a rollercoaster week for Selena ... who felt the need to defend her relationship from online critics blasting her for "dating down" following romances with Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas.

Selena handled those comments immediately ... firing back that she's "never dating a f***boy ever again" -- though her response to other criticism was a little more indirect.

When people began slamming SG for going hard with her new romance with BB, but shying away from the Israel-Palestine issue after catching considerable flak ... she replied, "You're right."

Nonetheless, she's clearly still in the honeymoon stage with Benny, gushing online, "He is my absolute everything in my heart" -- so for all the naysayers ... looks like he's here to stay.

Pardison Fontaine Meg Relationship Overshadowed Career ... I'm Fixing That!!!

Published | Updated

Pardison Fontaine is hinting that a domino effect is the reason for his breakup with Megan Thee Stallion ... one issue led to another before the relationship crashed and burned.

The singer/songwriter appeared on "The Breakfast Club" Wednesday, and was bombarded with questions about why the relationship ended ... which has been in he says/she says limbo following the release of their vicious diss songs aimed at each other!!!

Pardi says he and Meg have nothing to talk about anymore and defended his "Thee Stallion" diss track, which he says has the answers to their breakup -- he felt Megan was showing signs of disloyalty, and he got his lick back instead of being a sucker.

Megan's supporters have been accusing Pardi of using her name to stay relevant ... something for which he actually accepts blame.

Pardi claims to have made "a lot of f***ing money" during his relationship with Meg by sitting in the background writing songs and admits he got comfortable and let his own career fall to the back.

Taylor Swift Pre-Birthday Party with Travis in K.C. ... Donna K. & the Mahomeses, Too!!!

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift might not have Travis Kelce by her side to kick off her 34th birthday, but turns out the couple got in a pre-celebration with his mom, Donna Kelce, and his QB, Patrick Mahomes ... and we've got video of their night out.

The gang painted Kansas City red -- for Taylor and the Chiefs -- Sunday night at the Miracle on Main Street Christmas bar ... and despite the fact Trav and co. had lost to the Bills that day, everyone still seemed to have a great time.

We're told Donna was the first to dip out, leaving around 10:45 PM with some other folks in a Mercedes van. Patrick and his wife Brittany stuck around until about 1 AM when they jumped in their own party bus.

Taylor and Travis, however, enjoyed their time together until around 2 AM -- gotta get in every possible minute when you're in a long-distance relationship! As we reported, Taylor planted a big smooch on Travis inside the holiday-themed bar that night.

They eventually left together in a white SUV with security in tow, and interestingly ... Travis' had driven his Rolls-Royce to the bar, but must've had a few drinks -- he opted to leave his luxury car on the street, and ride with Taylor instead.

Taylor's showing no signs of stopping when it comes to cheering on Travis from the sidelines ... win or lose. They've lost the last 2 she attended, but hey ... they're still 4-2 with her, and still 1st in their division!

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Matt LeBlanc Steps Out for Dinner w/ Pals ... After Matthew Perry Death

Published | Updated

Matt LeBlanc stepped out for dinner this week -- one of the last remaining "Friends" to do so since Matthew Perry died ... and it's meaningful for a lot of different reasons.

The actor hit up Nobu in Malibu Tuesday -- which is big considering it's one of the most high-profile celeb hot spots in town ... and whoever goes there certainly wants to be seen. You could argue that's the case for Matt here -- who was joined by a bunch of buddies.

He looked fairly neutral and pensive as he rolled up with the boys, but at one point ... he did, in fact, flash a big smile as he greeted one of his friends near the valet booth outside.

Like we said ... it's significant to see MLB out and about like this in the wake of his old costar's tragic passing -- which occurred in late October. The reason ... they were close cast members on the hit sitcom ... just think about Chandler and Joey.

We've seen Matt step out in public before ... but the last time he did that, he was behind the wheel driving around in L.A. -- so it wasn't quite like what we're seeing here at Nobu.

The theme, you might argue, is that life moves on ... and so do people, no matter who leaves us. And yet, as hard as MP's death must be for him -- he, too, appears to be trying to carry on as normally as he can. Last month, Matt posted a formal farewell to Perry.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Like we said, other "Friends" actors have stepped out in the spotlight since Matthew passed -- not including his funeral, of course, which they all attended. We've seen Courteney Cox hit dinner in L.A. ... and David Schwimmer has also shown face in the wake of his death.

The only ones we haven't seen publicly thus far are ... Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, but something tells us we'll likely spot them out and about in due time as well.

Perry's sudden death has undoubtedly hit them all hard ... they're making do best they can.

Bradley Cooper Daddy-Daughter Date to 'Maestro' ... Dolled Up for L.A. Premiere

Published | Updated

Bradley Cooper conducted himself well during the premiere of his big Oscar-buzzy film this week -- playing the role of both A-lister and Papa Bear ... 'cause he brought his kid along.

The actor/director showed up dressed to the nines Tuesday night in L.A. for the debut of "Maestro," the Netflix movie in which he stars ... and for which he's said to be up for an Academy Award in due time. Notably, his date wasn't Gigi Hadid ... rather, he brought 6-year-old Lea.

Lea, of course, is his daughter that he shares with Irina Shayk ... who wasn't there either, BTW. She did show support online though -- posting a sweet shout-out to both of them.

Anyway, Brad was on daddy duty -- holding Lea's hand and escorting her along the carpet.

Obviously, it made for a super sweet moment in front of cameras -- but more importantly, it was a peek at BC's life behind the scenes. He normally takes great care to shield Lea away from the spotlight, and prioritizes privacy -- especially as it pertains to his family.

Last night, however, it seems he was ready to introduce her to the world ... cute kid.

Another highlight from the premiere came in a cool reunion between Lady Gaga and Brad ... who, of course, were in "A Star is Born" a few years back -- which was an award darling at the time. She didn't have anything to do with this latest flick ... she was just supporting.

Considering their success the last time around, her presence might be a good luck charm.

Now, controversy aside, "Maestro" is said to be big-time Oscar bait ... and seeing how Brad's in front of and behind the camera for this one -- he stands to walk away a major winner.

It's in select theaters now, and hits Netflix on the 20th.

Taylor Swift 34 Here I Come!!! Celebrates with Selena, Miles, Keleigh

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift got in some pre-birthday partying Tuesday night ... painting the town red with Selena Gomez, Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry.

The pop superstar turned 34 Wednesday -- but last evening when she was still 33, she and her small posse of famous friends went clubbing in the Big Apple.

TMZ obtained video and images, showing Taylor, Miles and Keleigh pulling up to Zero Bond in Manhattan and climbing out of their SUV.

Taylor -- clad in a fashionable tan trench coat and black boots - then sauntered inside the private club with the couple.

Keleigh also appeared stylish, wearing a navy jacket and short skirt. Miles, though, dressed down for the occasion, sporting jeans, a flannel shirt and a baseball cap.

Selena must have joined them inside because she was pictured leading Taylor -- hand in hand -- out of the hot spot with Miles and Keleigh in tow. By the way, Selena looked amazing in her tight black ensemble.

The foursome hit up a wine bar before calling it a night.

WINDING DOWN WITH WINE

But there was one very special man who was MIA and that was ... you guessed it ... Travis Kelce!!! Taylor's hunky boyfriend/Kansas City Chiefs tight end had some quiet time to himself it seems.

But we're sure Taylor will be right back in his arms pretty soon. The lovebirds appear almost inseparable these days.

Draymond Green Smacks Jusuf Nurkic In Head ... Gets Ejected Again

Published | Updated

NBA fans are calling for yet another suspension for Draymond Green ... this time after the Warriors superstar was ejected for whacking one of his opponents in the face with a hard right hand.

The incident happened in the third quarter of Golden State's game against the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday ... when Green appeared to be trying to back down Jusuf Nurkic during an inbounds play.

As Green attempted to shimmy his way into the paint, Nurkic provided some resistance -- and in response, Draymond spun around, flailed his arms and made contact with the Suns center's head.

Nurkic immediately crumpled in pain -- and a short time later, Green was hit with a flagrant foul 2 and tossed from the action.

The ejection was the third for Green this season -- and the second one since he was given the boot for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during the Warriors' game against the Timberwolves last month.

Following Tuesday night's latest incident, Green told media members he didn't mean to hit Nurkic -- and apologized for his actions.

121323_draymond_green_kal
NOT MY INTENTION

"As you know, I am not one to apologize for things I mean to do, but I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn't intend to hit him," Green said after the game. "I sell calls with my arms. I don't fall to sell a call. I'm not a flopper. So I was just selling the call 'cause he was grabbing me and pulling my hip back. So, I spun away and unfortunately I hit him."

Nurkic, meanwhile, wasn't pleased with the play -- though he was at least able to crack a bit of a smile about it all with media members following the game.

"Personally, I feel like that brother needs help," Nurkic said. "I'm glad he didn't try to choke me."

As you know, Green has been suspended multiple times in his career for similar acts -- including a five-game ban in November for the way he put his hands on Gobert.

Most expect a suspension to be handed down sooner than later for the Nurkic play too -- it just remains to be seen how many contests Green will be forced to sit out.

The Warriors, meanwhile, went on to lose to the Suns with Green in the locker room, falling 119-116.

Matt Rife Hasn't Apologized for Beefing w/ 6-Y-O Says Mother Bunny Hedaya

Published | Updated

Matt Rife got into it online with a 6-year-old kid who criticized him over his recent Netflix special -- something for which he has yet to make amends ... according to the boy's mom.

Here's the deal ... the comedian is still facing backlash over his special from last month, which included cracks about domestic violence, and which made women, in general, the butt of a lot of his jokes -- this despite the fact that the vast majority of his fans are women.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

Rife was getting crapped on left and right for a good long while -- something he relished -- and the other week, TikToker Bunny Hedaya's young son got in on the action as well.

She posted a stitch to one of Rife's jokes from the special -- during which he's making fun of women for relying on astrology and getting a "rings" punchline in there with the planets -- and it featured her boy who corrected MR on which planet actually featured rings ... Saturn.

The kid also said Rife was "mean to girls" ... so not a huge burn, but one to which Rife apparently felt the need to respond. He wrote in a since-deleted comment, "Jupiter also has (a) ring. OH!... and Santa isn't real. Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on OnlyFans. Good luck." Yeah, it ain't great ... and worse yet, Bunny says he hasn't said sorry.

She tells TMZ ... while Rife has yet to apologize, she says she would only accept one through changed behavior -- namely, switching up his tune on how he talks to/about women. However, she says based on what she's seen about him ... she ain't holding her breath.

Bunny says Rife doesn't seem like the type of guy to take accountability -- see his response to the special needs helmet joke controversy -- and she believes he needs to look deep inside himself to figure out why he feels so much aggression toward women and children, and to attempt to heal himself once he figures out the root cause.

FWIW, Bunny tells us she didn't make her son privy to Matt's insult to him/her ... telling us she's careful with exposing him to too much social media at this age. Ignorance is bliss.

Tennis Star David Nalbandian Ex Files For Restraining Order After He Allegedly Secretly Recorded Her Naked

Published | Updated

Tennis star David Nalbandian's ex-girlfriend has filed for a restraining order ... after the 2002 Wimbledon finalist allegedly hid a security camera in the home she was staying in and secretly recorded her naked.

Araceli Torrado -- who dated the 41-year-old Argentinian athlete for several months before breaking up in June 2023 -- is accusing Nalbandian of installing the recording device in a bedroom air vent following their split ... which was discovered by her brother when he noticed a glowing light.

Torrado alerted police on the matter ... but initially, nothing came of it due to a lack of evidence. The influencer later came forward with alleged documentation of Nalbandian fessing up to installing the cam, but insisting he saw nothing due to "internet problems."

At the time, Torrado claimed the camera had been set up long enough to have recorded footage of her in the nude ... as well as other private moments with family and friends.

According to reports, Torrado appeared before a judge this week to address her accusations of stalking and harassment ... demanding Nalbandian hand over all his electronic devices -- citing panic over what could be on his phone or other apps.

A ruling on the request is expected later this month.

Nalbandian played professionally from 2000-2013 ... becoming as high as the No. 3-ranked player in the world in 2006. He reached the semifinals in the Australian, French and U.S. Opens one time in his career -- posting a 383-192 overall record.

Published | Updated

Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's battle with cancer was something that was well-documented, TMZ has learned ... and will be shared with fans in an upcoming season of Mama June's reality series.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Anna was very open about her health issues, and wanted it to be included on "Mama June: From Not to Hot" so people could better understand the struggles she went through, and those of cancer patients, in general.

She also wanted fans to know everything she faced, since she was always candid with them.

We're told Anna had no problems with the production team filming her journey, and the crew was by her side just hours before she passed away -- Anna was in hospice for a little over 3 weeks toward the end, and she was open to documenting everything.

Sources say production felt it was best to not be there when she passed, and they won't be there to record the funeral, either ... despite Anna being alright with it, the crew wanted to give the family some privacy while they mourn.

Floyd Mayweather Receives 'Champion Of Israel' Award ... For Work Following Hamas Attack

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather went to great lengths to help Israelis following the October 7th terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas ... and for his extraordinary efforts, the 50-0 legend was honored!

Mayweather and the more than 600 people in attendance, including stars like Emmanuelle Chriqui and Montana Tucker, also raised over $4 million for Israel.

Mayweather was at the sold-out Faena Forum in South Florida Tuesday night where he was presented with the "Champion of Israel" Award from friends Jona Rechnitz and James McNair ... recognizing the legend's enormous contributions to the Israelis.

Remember, TBE sent his Air Mayweather private jet, flown by his pilots, to Tel Aviv with over 5,000 lbs. of supplies for both civilians and the military (he even hopped on a video call and had a chat with a special forces unit that received some of the equipment).

Floyd also attended a pro-Israeli rally in Los Angeles where he marched with thousands of fellow supporters ... and even sold custom TMT hats online with proceeds going to charity.

Aside from celebrating Floyd for all he's done, Tuesday's event was also aimed at raising money for Magen David Adom, a Red Cross-affiliated organization in Israel.

(Take a look at the sweet Swarovski-crystal bedazzled vest MDA gave Floyd.)

The event, produced by Israel Schachter of Charity Bids, featured a live auction ... and Mayweather was among those offering one-of-a-kind experiences, which raked in big bucks.

Among the awesome packages, Floyd offered a courtside ticket to sit with him at a Miami Heat game. He also auctioned off two ringside tickets for his upcoming rematch with John Gotti III.

As part of the Champion award, event organizers played a video tribute for Floyd, featuring Magen David Adom Director Eli Bin, and Miami nightlife king David Grutman ... who summed up Mayweather's work with the organization.

"Magen serves humanity, and Floyd stands for humanity."
