Controversial S#!T

USC head coach Lincoln Riley has lifted the controversial ban he placed on journalist Luca Evans this week ... after the two had a "long conversation" about the Trojans' beef with the beat writer.

Riley and his team initially suspended the Orange County Register reporter after they said he violated their media policies when he documented the pre-press-conference mannerisms of a Trojans player in a recent article.

The school said Evans shouldn't have written about the student-athlete's actions ... explaining they happened outside of the Trojans' allotted media availability period. Riley then suspended Evans for two weeks in response.

But, following days of backlash, Riley agreed to talk with Evans on Wednesday ... and on Thursday, he decided to remove the punishment.

"We had a very candid and productive conversation," Riley said. "We agreed that we both could have handled the situation differently. I appreciate Luca recognizing the policies we have in place to protect our student-athletes and acknowledging to adhere to those in the future."

"We welcome Luca back to practice and look forward to his continuing coverage of the Trojans."

Added Evans, "I respect and understand the program's outlined policies regarding media access, and any missteps came through the intent of doing my job and pursuing relationship-building and storytelling."

"I will continue the same reporting an writing with fairness, accuracy and depth, and we reached an agreement to lift the restriction on access."

New mother Chrisean Rock is under attack again, this time for not properly holding her newborn son -- and, unsurprisingly, Blueface seems to be on the side of her critics.

The outrage came after a video surfaced Thursday of Chrisean shopping inside a Walmart while letting their son's head fall back as he slept in a forward baby carrier.

Many fans cited the dangers of having the infant's neck unsupported and also accused her of being too distracted to properly tend to the baby as she also walked her dog on its leash inside the store.

Blueface reacted to the wild moment as it trended on the app formerly known as Twitter ... assuring the people he was just as surprised as they were.

The two co-parents recently resolved their pre-birth issues and Chrisean has agreed to change the child's name from "Chrisean Jr." to "Jonathan Jr." -- Blueface's government name ... creating tension with his relationship with Jaidyn Alexis as a result.

La nueva madre Chrisean Rock está siendo atacada nuevamente, esta vez por no sostener adecuadamente a su hijo recién nacido y como era de esperar, Blueface parece estar del lado de sus críticos.

La indignación se produjo después de que el jueves saliera a la luz un video de Chrisean comprando en un Walmart mientras dejaba que la cabeza de su hijo se cayera hacia atrás mientras dormía en un coche.

Muchos fans comentaron sobre los peligros de dejar el cuello de los bebés sin un adecuado apoyo, y también la acusaron de estar demasiado distraída para atender adecuadamente a su hijo, mientras compraba y paseaba a su perro dentro de la tienda.

Blueface reaccionó al salvaje momento mientras era tendencia en la aplicación antes conocida como Twitter, asegurando a los usuarios que estaba tan sorprendido como ellos.

Los dos co-padres resolvieron recientemente sus problemas previos al nacimiento, y Chrisean ha acordado cambiar el nombre del niño de "Chrisean Jr." a "Jonathan Jr." -- en favor de Blueface, creando tensiones en su relación con Jaidyn Alexis como resultado.

Joe Jonas has fired back at Sophie Turner, saying Sophie is the one who has crossed the line, violating an order by a Florida judge by trying to take their kids permanently to England.

Joe's rep just issued a lengthy statement, in response to Sophie's claim Joe has "abducted" their kids by refusing to hand over their passports so they can return to England per their agreement.

Joe's response ... "After multiple conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. Sophie was aware that Joe was going to file for divorce. The Florida Court has already entered an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children. Sophie was served with this order on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago."

So, Joe is saying Sophie's position would squarely violate the Florida order keeping the kids where they are.

He also makes it clear ... although he believes the kids' home is in the United States, he's open to sharing custody with her, even if she moves permanently to England. "Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the U.S. and the UK. The children were born in the U.S. and have spent the vast majority of their lives in the U.S. They are American citizens."

Joe's rep says their team is surprised by Sophie's latest move ... "Joe and Sophie had a cordial meeting this past Sunday in New York, when Sophie came to New York to be with the kids. They have been with her since that meeting. Joe's impression of the meeting was that they had reached an understanding that they would work together towards an amicable co-parenting setup."

And then, the turn ... "Less than 24 hours later, Sophie advised that she wanted to take the children permanently to the UK. Thereafter, she demanded via this filing that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could take them out of the country immediately. If he complies, Joe will be in violation of the Florida Court order."

Joe also takes issue with the allegation he is effectively abducting the kids ... "This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending. When language like "abduction" is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. The children were not abducted. After being in Joe's care for the past three months at the agreement of both parties, the children are currently with their mother. Sophie is making this claim only to move the divorce proceedings to the UK and to remove the children from the U.S. permanently."

The legal reality ... now that they are no longer a family living together, their deal is not binding on the divorce judge. The North Star for divorce judges is what is in the best interests of the children.

Do you think the Sophie Turner/Joe Jonas divorce war will get uglier? Vote below.

John Cusack -- someone who's been transparent about his liberal views for years -- is coming after Democrats ... 'cause in his eyes, they have a total lack of morals.

The often-left-wing actor didn't hold back on social media earlier this week, saying those towards the top of the Democratic Party are "full of s***." He goes on to blame them for people switching to Donald Trump as a consideration for the presidency.

It's a long rant that John goes on -- he even takes shots at former Prez Barack Obama's iconic "Hope and Change" slogan ... something John's calling, "another branded hustle."

John's heated talk came in response to an article that claimed Dems are considering doing away with federal wealth taxes ... writing, "This kind of staggering amoral bulls*** is one of the main reason[s] (yes there are others) Trump's demagoguery works on people."

He sarcastically adds, "Don’t worry fellas - the democrats will save the .000000001 % from paying tax" ... saying, "To even attempt this … Unbelievable."

For those unaware, John's often spoken out about things like politics, activism, and wealth distribution ... but he usually sees things from a Democratic perspective.

Joe Jonas le respondió a Sophie Turner, diciéndole que se ha pasado de la raya al intentar llevarse a sus hijas permanentemente a Inglaterra, ya que con ello estaría violando la orden de un juez de Florida.

El representante de Joe acaba de emitir un extenso comunicado, en respuesta a la afirmación de Sophie de que Joe ha "secuestrado" a sus hijas al negarse a entregar sus pasaportes para que puedan regresar a Inglaterra, según su acuerdo.

La respuesta de Joe dice: "Después de múltiples conversaciones con Sophie, Joe inició los trámites de divorcio en Florida, ya que Florida es la jurisdicción apropiada para el caso. Sophie era consciente de que Joe iba a solicitar el divorcio. El Tribunal de Florida ya ha dictado una orden que restringe a ambos progenitores el traslado de los niños. Sophie fue notificada de esta orden el 6 de septiembre de 2023, hace más de dos semanas".

Por lo tanto, Joe está diciendo que la posición de Sophie violaría de lleno la orden de Florida de mantener a los niños donde están.

También deja claro que, aunque cree que el hogar de los niños es en Estados Unidos, está abierto a compartir la custodia con ella, incluso si decide mudarse permanentemente a Inglaterra. "Joe está buscando la custodia compartida con las niñas para que sean criadas tanto por su madre como por su padre, y por supuesto también está de acuerdo con que las niñas sean criadas tanto en los EE.UU. como en el Reino Unido. Las niños nacieron en EE.UU. y han pasado la mayor parte de su vida en ese país. Son ciudadanas estadounidenses".

El representante de Joe dice que su equipo está sorprendido por el último movimiento de Sophie: "Joe y Sophie tuvieron un encuentro cordial el pasado domingo en Nueva York, cuando Sophie vino a la ciudad para estar con los niños. Ellos han estado con ella desde ese encuentro. La impresión de Joe de la reunión fue que habían llegado a un entendimiento de que trabajarían juntos para llegar a un acuerdo amistoso de coparentalidad."

Y luego, el giro: "Menos de 24 horas después, Sophie comunicó que quería llevarse a los niños permanentemente al Reino Unido. A partir de entonces, exigió a través de esta presentación que Joe le entregara los pasaportes de los niños para poder sacarlos del país inmediatamente. Si él cumple, Joe estaría violando la orden del Tribunal de Florida".

Joe también se opone a la alegación de que está secuestrando a los niños: "Este es un desafortunado desacuerdo legal sobre un matrimonio que tristemente está terminando. Cuando se utiliza un lenguaje como "secuestro", en el mejor de los casos es engañoso y, en el peor, un grave abuso del sistema legal. Las niñas no fueron secuestrados. Tras haber estado al cuidado de Joe durante los últimos tres meses por acuerdo de ambas partes, las niñas están actualmente con su madre. Sophie está haciendo este reclo solo para trasladar el proceso de divorcio a Reino Unido y sacar a los niños de EE.UU. de forma permanente."

Esa es la realidad legal ... ahora que ya no son una familia que vive junta, su acuerdo no es vinculante para el juez de divorcio. El norte para los jueces de divorcio es lo abogar por el mejor interés de los niños.

John Cusack es alguien que ha sido transparente acerca de sus puntos de vista liberales durante años, pero nos enteramos que esta vez va en contra de los demócratas ya que bajo su punto de vista, tienen una total falta de moral.

El actor —a menudo de izquierdas— no se contuvo en las redes sociales a principios de esta semana diciendo que los que están en la cima del Partido Demócrata están "llenos de mierda". A continuación, les culpa de que la gente se haya pasado a Donald Trump como candidato a la presidencia.

Es un largo despotricar el de John, incluso ningunea el icónico eslogan del ex Presidente Barack Obama "Esperanza y Cambio", algo que John llama, "otro timo de marca".

La acalorada charla de John vino en respuesta a un artículo que afirmaba que los demócratas están considerando eliminar los impuestos federales sobre la riqueza escribiendo: "Este tipo de asombrosa mierda amoral es una de las principales razones (sí hay otras) por las que la demagogia de Trump funciona en la gente".

Y añade sarcásticamente: "No se preocupen amigos, los demócratas salvarán al .000000001 % de pagar impuestos" diciendo: "Para siquiera intentar esto ... Increíble".

Para aquellos que no lo saben, John ha hablado a menudo sobre cosas como la política, el activismo, y la distribución de la riqueza pero por lo general ve las cosas desde una perspectiva demócrata.

Minkah Fitzpatrick says he was not trying to end Nick Chubb's season when his goal line tackle resulted in a devastating injury ... defending himself and claiming the controversial hit wasn't a dirty play.

The three-time Pro Bowler broke his silence on the incident with reporters on Thursday ... clapping back at critics who say the result could have been prevented.

"You can tell me how to tackle him low, but it's a fast game," Fitzpatrick said. "It's a game where you make decisions in milliseconds."

"Can't really control what happens after you choose to make your decision. I already chose to go low. Somebody got on his back when I was going low, and what happened happened. There's nothing I really would do differently."

Chubb will be sidelined for the rest of the season ... and his football career remains up in the air as a long road to recovery awaits him.

Fitzpatrick said it's still unfortunate what happened and he hopes Chubb gets well soon.

"Nick Chubb's a great player," Fitzpatrick said. "He makes the game a lot better when he's playing."

"I’ve been doing horrible and I realize that now and I’m doing everything I can to change it."

That's "Mayhem" Miller getting real with his thousands of followers ... sharing he's been seriously struggling after years of bad behavior that often left him in handcuffs and behind bars.

But, the 42-year-old retired MMA fighter is vowing to change his life for the better.

"I went away for a couple of years to pay my debt to society, and when I got out, I realized that I have much more paying to do," Mayhem wrote on social media.

He continued ... "I thought I could smoothly transition from prison to the regular world, but things have been more difficult than I imagined, especially interpersonal relationships and the burden of being free."

Of course, Jason has been in an almost constant state of legal trouble over the years ... getting arrested for everything from fighting in bars to allegedly choking a fan in August 2023. He's been in and out of jail.

Mayhem isn't looking to go back, though ... and is now opening up about asking for help, something he wasn't willing to do in the past.

"Until recently I viewed asking for help as something for the weak, but a very special person has shown me that the actual opposite is true; asking for help shows strength. Strength of character and strength of mind."

Miller also offered a heartfelt apology to his family ... for what they've been through.

"My family has bore the brunt of my frustration and self destructive behavior, so to them I offer a sincere apology and if I have directly affected you in a negative manner, I am sorry."

Mayhem, who beat beasts like Tim Kennedy and Robbie Lawler during his fighting career, says he now plans to step away from social media and his everyday routine and work on himself.

"I’ve been doing horrible and I realize that now and I’m doing everything I can to change it. Thank you for your support, but I’m not reading comments. I’m going to work on me now for the good of my family."

Las tensiones de Drake con Megan Thee Stallion están otra vez en el centro de atención después de que algunos fans tomaran su aparentemente inofensivo mensaye de apoyo a su fotógrafa, durante un concierto de Houston, y lo dieran la vuelta en otra dirección.

Durante el show de Drake el 18 de septiembre, el rapero se tomó el tiempo para reconocer a su fotógrafa MegYup, y que todo el público vitoreara por "esta Meg, no por esa otra Meg".

Dado que Drake ha mencionado antes a la estrella del rap de Houston, a quien efectivamente desprecia en la canción "Circo Loco", los fans se volvieron locos especulando una vez que el clip comenzó a circular en las redes sociales.

Megan The Stallion tomó sus propias redes sociales para dejar las cosas claras, acusando a los trolls de arruinar su gran momento de gloria. Pero finalmente lo dejó pasar, e hizo mención al próximo álbum de Drake, que se lanzará en octubre.

Alex Spiro, quien representó a Thee Stallion durante el juicio contra Tory Lanez, dijo a TMZ Hip Hop que Drake y otros dudosos quedarían como tontos después del veredicto ... y bueno, la historia jugó a su favor.

Drake's tensions with Megan Thee Stallion are back in the spotlight after some fans took his seemingly harmless shoutout -- during his Houston concert -- and flipped it into another diss.

During Drake's September 18 show, he took time out to shout photographer MegYup by name, quipping, "Real H-Town love, shout out to Meg one time for real … not that Meg, this Meg.”

Given his past mentioning of the Houston rap star -- he effectively dissed her on the "Her Loss" track "Circo Loco" -- fans went wild with speculation once the clip began to circulate on social media.

MegYup took to her own social media to set the record straight, accusing unintelligible trolls of ruining her big moment of glory -- but eventually she called it a day, and simply plugged his upcoming album.

Alex Spiro, who represented Thee Stallion during her trial against Tory Lanez, told TMZ Hip Hop that Drake and other doubters would have egg on their faces ahead of the verdict ... which history shows went in their favor.

La drag queen que actuó en el bar de propiedad del tipo que acarició las tetas de la representante Lauren Boebert tiene un pequeño secreto sucio sobre ellos.

TMZ habló con Kendra Matic, la única drag performer que subió al escenario en el bar de Aspen de Quinn Gallagher (la cita de Boebert) en enero, y nos dio un montón de información sobre esta saga que nadie parece haber sabido hasta ahora.

Para empezar, Kendra nos dijo que apoya 100% a Quinn, a quien define como un gran tipo, con el que sin duda volvería a trabajar si la llamara para otro espectáculo. Kendra dice que la actuación de este año salió muy bien e insiste en que QG tiene un buen corazón.

Es por el cariño que le tiene a Quinn que Kendra no puede entender su relación con la congresista republicana, y sí, estamos usando ese término especialmente aquí.

De cualquier modo, de acuerdo con Kendra, Boebert y Gallagher había estado saliendo por un tiempo, algo de lo que varios en la zona eran conscientes, según ella. Por lo tanto, la idea de que este habría sido el primer encuentro entre ellos parece ser falsa.

Vamos a dejar que Kendra hable por sí misma sobre lo que puede o no revelar de los chismes sobre RLB y Quinn en la ciudad, pero digamos que en una ciudad pequeñas... las personas suelen hablar, y mucho.

Ahora sobre Boebert, Kendra dice que hizo sus tareas y vio algunas de las cosas que ha dicho la Representante sobre temas LGBTQ +, de lo cual es muy opositora, como está bien documentado, y ella dice que la decepciona que Quinn esté con alguien así.

The drag queen who performed at the bar owned by the guy who was fondling Rep. Lauren Boebert's boobs last week says contrary to Boebert's claim, that date wasn't #1.

TMZ talked to Kendra Matic ... who was the lone drag performer who took the stage at Quinn Gallagher's Aspen bar back in January, and she gave us a LOT of previously unknown insight into this whole saga.

For starters, KM tells us she 100% stands behind Quinn -- whom she says is a great guy who she would definitely work with again if he called her for another drag show. Kendra says the gig earlier this year went really well ... and insists QG's got a good heart.

It's because of how fond she is of Quinn that Kendra can't understand his relationship with the Republican congresswoman -- and yes, we're using that term specifically here.

As it turns out -- according to Kendra, anyway -- Boebert and Gallagher had actually been seeing each other for a while ... something Kendra says quite a few people in the area were aware of. So, the notion this was a first-time hookup, as Boebert hinted, appears to be bogus.

We'll let Kendra talk for herself here on what she can and can't reveal about the gossip around town over RLB and Quinn -- but let's just say ... a small town talks!

Now, on Boebert herself ... Kendra tells us she's done her homework and seen some of the nasty things the representative has said about LGBTQ+ issues -- and she's disappointed that Quinn is into a person like that.

¡¡¡Chris Brown arrastró a Tinashe por el suelo esta semana!!! Pero la cantante de "BB/Ang3l" ni se inmuta y dice que el incidente ya es agua bajo el puente...

TMZ Hip Hop se encontró con Tinashe el miércoles en Hollywood, y no parecía muy afectada por Chris, su ex colaborador, quien criticó abiertamente su discografía en respuesta a una de sus últimas entrevistas.

En caso de que no lo sepan, Tinashe dice que no tiene recuerdos positivos de su trabajo con Chris o R. Kelly, pero que el problema particular con Chris fue la pista que el sello eligió para grabar.

Tinashe no cree que Chris haya visto el clip completo, y piensa que simplemente se dejó llevar por el "click fácil" en redes sociales. Él respondió de vuelta pidiendo al público que nombrase 5 canciones de Tinashe o iban a morir ... y, claro ya tenía el cementerio listo.

Tinashe dijo que estaría abierta a tener una conversación con Chris en un esfuerzo por aclarar las cosas, pero también sugirió que no está en su lista de prioridades.

Por otro lado, está emocionada por sus próximos shows donde promete incorporar nuevas rutinas de baile para los fans.

Chris Brown gave Tinashe the dragging of a lifetime this week but the "BB/Ang3l" singer's not tripping -- she's calling the incident water under a bridge she's already driving across!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Tinashe Wednesday in Hollywood, and she didn't seem too pressed about Chris -- her former collaborator -- openly bashing her discography in response to one of her latest interviews.

ICYMI, Tinashe didn't recall having positive memories working with either Chris or R. Kelly -- but said the issue with Chris was the track the label chose for them to record.

Tinashe tells us she doesn't think Chris watched the full clip, and merely got sucked into social media clickbait. He fired back by asking the public to name 5 Tinashe songs to save their life ... and already had the graveyard mapped out.

Tinashe said she'd be open to having a conversation with Chris in an effort to clear things up, but also suggested it's low on her priority list.

On the other hand, she is excited about her upcoming shows where she promises to incorporate new dance routines for fans.

La mujer que se jactó de su fama de Instagram en un avión —como se ve en el clip viral— dice que no fue expulsada del vuelo, por el contrario, fue ella quien se quiso ir.

La modelo de IG Morgan Osman estaba en pleno viaje a Miami el miércoles cuando habló con un fotógrafo sobre lo que la llevó a actuar de esa manera en el vuelo de American Airlines, una compañía que por cierto, dice que nunca le ha gustado.

Ella dice que todo el asunto fue por una mujer que afirmó que Morgan estaba en su asiento. Ella trató de ser la persona más madura y ceder el asiento y es cuando la gente comenzó a filmar su gran salida.

Se creía que a Morgan le dijeron que bajara del avión, con el video sólo mostrándola llamar al resto de los pasajeros "vagos de mier...".

Como informamos, Morgan recibió una oferta del sitio de streaming para adultos CamSoda para poner en un espectáculo a través de su plataforma después de que su video despegó. La compañía le ofreció $25k por sólo una hora de su tiempo.
