Controversial S#!T

Millie Bobby Brown isn't mincing words on how she feels about the show that made her famous -- saying she's ready to turn the page ... and calling it a burden on her career.

The actress -- known for playing Eleven on the hit Netflix series dating back years now -- dished her latest thoughts about 'ST' in a new interview with Glamour ... where she pretty much crapped on the gig that gave her her big break.

The article notes she likens her final season -- which is forthcoming next year -- to a senior year in high school, where one's itching to be done with it already. She says, "When you’re ready, you’re like, 'All right, let’s do this. Let’s tackle this last senior year. Let’s get out of here.'"

Millie adds, "'Stranger Things' takes up a lot of time to film and it’s preventing me from creating stories that I’m passionate about. So I’m ready to say, 'Thank you, and goodbye.'"

With that said, she does seem to offer a sense of gratitude for what she's learned on the show, going on to say the series gave her "the tools and the resources to be a better actor." And then, in the same breath ... another slap in the face, of sorts. Glamour says MBB refuses "to be goaded into mourning the show."

Millie finishes by saying .... "When it ends, I’m going to be able to still see these people," pointing out that nobody is actually dying with the fan-fave binger coming to a close.

Obviously, she's over it -- and perhaps for good reason. Out of all the kids, she's arguably far and away the most famous outside of 'Stranger Things' ... and it sounds like she's ready to break free from it completely. It has been 7 years already, after all ... so we kinda get it.

Gigi Hadid ha sido criticada por el gobierno israelí por un meme que compartió que consideran antisemita, y la acusan de apoyar el asesinato de civiles inocentes.

La supermodelo estuvo en la mira de la cuenta oficial de Instagram del Estado de Israel el domingo, cuando publicaron su propia versión de un mensaje que Gigi compartió durante el fin de semana, abordando además el actual conflicto entre Israel y Palestina.

En el post original de Gigi, el meme dice: "No hay nada judío en el trato del gobierno israelí a los palestinos. Condenar al gobierno israelí no es antisemita y apoyar a los palestinos no es apoyar a Hamás".

La cuenta del gobierno israelí en Instagram le respondió con una imagen del meme, pero esta vez decía: "No hay nada valiente en la masacre de israelíes por parte de Hamás. Condenar a Hamás por lo que es (ISIS) no es anti-Palestina y apoyar a los israelíes en su lucha contra los terroristas bárbaros es lo correcto".

Además, se centraron en Gigi, etiquetándola en su historia de Instagram y escribiendo: "¿Has estado durmiendo esta última semana? ¿O te parece bien hacer la vista gorda ante la masacre de bebés judíos en sus casas? Tu silencio ha sido muy claro sobre tu postura".

El Estado de Israel terminó añadiendo: "Nos vemos" y pasó a publicar una foto de juguetes y ropa de niños junto a un suelo ensangrentado. Israel continúa diciendo: "Si no condenas esto tus palabras no significan NADA".

Claramente, las ideas más recientes de Gigi no fueron bien recibidas por los funcionarios israelíes, pero parece que sus comentarios iniciales, en los que condenó la masacre de transeúntes, ciudadanos comunes, incluidos los de Israel estaba bien, porque no dijeron nada al respecto.

Gigi Hadid has been called out by the Israeli government over a meme she shared they feel is antisemitic -- and they're accusing her of co-signing the murder of innocent civilians.

The supermodel fell into the crosshairs of the State of Israel's official Instagram account Sunday -- when they posted their own version of a message Gigi shared over the weekend, further addressing the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

In GH's original post, the meme reads ... "There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians. Condemning the Israeli government is not antisemitic and supporting Palestinians is not supporting Hamas."

Israel's government account on IG skewered her in response, throwing up a mirror image of the meme -- but this time reading, "There is nothing valiant about Hamas' massacre of Israelis. Condemning Hamas for what it is (ISIS) is not anti-Palestine and supporting Israelis in their fight against barbaric terrorists is the right thing to do."

They further zeroed in on Gigi, tagging her in their IG story and writing ... "Have you been sleeping this past week? Or are you just fine turning a blind eye to Jewish babies being butchered in their homes? Your silence has been very clear about where you stand."

The State of Israel finished by adding, "We see you" ... and went on to post a photo of children's toys and clothing alongside a bloodied floor. Israel continues by saying, "If you don't condemn this your words mean NOTHING."

Clearly, Gigi's most recent sentiment didn't sit well with Israeli officials ... but it would appear her initial remarks -- in which she condemned the massacre of bystanders/ordinary citizens, including those in Israel -- was fine, 'cause they didn't say anything about it then.

At any rate ... shots have been fired now, we'll see what Gigi has to say about it beyond this.

A Palestinian-American child was stabbed to death by his landlord -- this according to law enforcement, who says the boy's Muslim background was the motivation for the crime.

71-year-old Joseph M. Czuba has been charged with first-degree murder in the Chicago area after he allegedly knifed 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume over the weekend ... with cops saying the kid was stabbed upwards of 26 times at his apartment over the weekend.

Wadea's mother, Hanaan Shahin, was also stabbed a dozen times during the attack, per officials, but she survived her ordeal and is expected to live. For her injuries, Czuba is also being charged with attempted murder ... not to mention two counts of a hate crime and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

The feds are involved in this case now ... as law enforcement has claimed that Czuba shouted "You Muslims must die" during the alleged killing. Officials believe Czuba did this as a direct result of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict in the Middle East.

As far as how this happened ... cops say Czuba -- who apparently had no issues with these tenants in the past -- knocked on their door out of the blue, and when Hanaan opened it ... he allegedly pounced on her, attempting to choke her ... and went on to use his knife.

State officials have since said this was an isolated incident and that no credible threat of terror attacks beyond this has manifested in the community. The death of Wadea has spurred outcry nationally ... with President Biden condemning his killing in a statement.

Un niño palestino/estadounidense fue apuñalado hasta la muerte por su casero. La policía afirma que el origen musulmán del niño fue el motivo del crimen.

Joseph M. Czuba, de 71 años de edad, ha sido acusado de asesinato en primer grado en el área de Chicago después de que supuestamente acuchillara a Wadea Al-Fayoume —de seis años de edad— durante el fin de semana, con la policía diciendo que el niño fue apuñalado más de 26 veces en su apartamento durante el fin de semana.

La madre de Wadea, Hanaan Shahin, también fue apuñalada una docena de veces durante el ataque, pero ella sobrevivió a su terrible experiencia y se espera que viva. Por sus heridas, Czuba también está acusado de intento de asesinato, por no mencionar dos cargos de delito de odio y agresión con agravantes con un arma mortal.

Los federales están ahora implicados en este caso ya que las fuerzas del orden han afirmado que Czuba gritó "Musulmanes, deben morir" durante el presunto asesinato. Los funcionarios creen que Czuba hizo esto como resultado directo del actual conflicto Israel/Palestina en Oriente Medio.

En cuanto a cómo sucedió, la policía dice que Czuba  —que al parecer no tenía problemas con estos inquilinos en el pasado— llamó a su puerta de la nada, y cuando Hanaan abrió supuestamente se abalanzó sobre ella tratando de ahogarla. Luego pasó a utilizar su cuchillo.

Desde entonces, las autoridades estatales han declarado que se trata de un incidente aislado y que no se ha manifestado en la comunidad ninguna amenaza creíble de atentados terroristas más allá de este. La muerte de Wadea ha provocado indignación a nivel nacional, con el presidente Biden condenando su asesinato en un comunicado.

The multiple alleged bigfoot sightings should have scientists and anthropologists digging for answers ... so say Colorado cops, after the now-viral vid shot in one of their National Forests.

San Juan County Undersheriff Steve Lowrance tells TMZ ... scientists and anthropologists should have all eyes on what was recently seen in Colorado, so they can determine once and for all if the creature is legit, or just some dude in a fursuit.

For the record, Lowrance doesn't really buy into the bigfoot legend -- adding he's lived in the area for 35 years, and has never seen the thing with his own eyes.

Regardless, he says law enforcement shouldn't be using its resources on unraveling the hairy mystery ... mainly because the elusive sasquatch isn't on any police watchlist due to its clean record and all.

We're told San Juan County has had about 3 bigfoot sightings over the years, but no crime has been committed -- no missing person reports connected to the alleged beast, and no one eaten alive by it ... that they know of, at least.

The undersheriff knows there might be folks out there who would dress up as bigfoot to commit crimes, but he's not too concerned about that scenario, either.

As we reported, video shows what believers claim is the creature walking through the San Juan National Forest -- the clip was captured by a passenger on a train, who saw the alleged sasquatch try to blend in with the environment.

Los múltiples avistamientos de Bigfoot deberían ser investigados por científicos y antropólogos, eso dicen los policías de Colorado, después del video viral grabado en uno de sus bosques nacionales.

El sheriff Steve Lowrance le dijo a TMZ que los científicos y antropólogos deben tener los ojos puestos sobre lo que se ha visto recientemente en Colorado para que puedan determinar de una vez por todas si la criatura es real o simplemente es un tipo en un traje.

Para que conste, Lowrance no cree en la leyenda de Bigfoot, añadiendo que ha vivido en la zona durante 35 años y nunca ha visto nada.

A pesar de todo, dice que las fuerzas del orden no deberían utilizar sus recursos en desentrañar el misterio peludo, sobre todo porque el escurridizo sasquatch no está en ninguna lista de vigilancia policial debido a su impecable historial.

Se nos dice que el condado de San Juan ha tenido alrededor de 3 avistamientos de Bigfoot en los últimos años, pero no se ha cometido ningún delito y no hay informes de personas desaparecidas relacionadas con la supuesta bestia.

El subcomisario sabe que podría haber gente por ahí disfrazada de Pie Grande para cometer crímenes, pero no está demasiado preocupado por ese escenario tampoco.

Como informamos, el vídeo muestra lo que los creyentes afirman que es la criatura caminando por el Bosque Nacional de San Juan. El video fue capturado por un pasajero de un tren que vio al presunto sasquatch tratando de mezclarse con el medio ambiente.

Jenelle Evans and David Eason are possibly on the verge of being charged with child neglect -- and amid that scary reality ... here they are taking the family to a gun show.

The 'Teen Mom' star was spotted Sunday with her husband and two children hitting up an event in Wilmington, NC -- where firearms, knives and other weaponry were out on tables and up for grabs for gun enthusiasts ... the perfect place to bring your little ones.

Eyewitnesses tell us David was hanging with Jenelle's 9-year-old son, Kaiser, while she stayed near her and DE's 6-year-old daughter Ensley. The boys checked out a number of items -- knives, holsters and rifle scopes. As far as what they actually picked up -- we're told David appear to purchase a bullet-proof vest for himself, and a wooden battle ax for Kaiser.

Jenelle and Ensley were only there briefly, leaving about 20 minutes into the shopping spree -- the other child in their custody at the moment, 14-year-old Jace, was nowhere to be seen.

Jace's repeated runaway attempts have been at the center of a probe there -- where law enforcement officials are considering bringing charges against either Jenelle, David or both. In addition to Jace constantly fleeing the home, we've heard there've also been abuse claims.

As we reported ... the investigation is in the final stages, and our sources tell us criminal charges are likely. We've reached out to Jenelle and David -- but haven't heard back.

While they haven't responded to us ... Dave has telegraphed that everything's fine in the household -- recently posting a bunch of photos of him and Jace, and saying no one understands their relationship, suggesting they're close.

Halle Berry was allegedly tricked into acting in one of the "X-Men" movies with a bait-and-switch tactic -- so claims a film director who was briefly attached to the project.

Matthew Vaughn -- famous for helming "Kick-Ass" and the "Kingsman" movies, and who actually ended up going on to direct "X-Men: First Class" years after this alleged incident -- told the tale to THR ... detailing what he says led to him exiting "X-Men: The Last Stand" way back in the mid-2000s.

Long story short ... Vaughn was hired to direct the second sequel, but for a while -- Halle hadn't actually signed on just yet ... despite Hugh Jackman and other key actors coming back. During pre-production, MV claims he discovered duplicity at play from a studio head.

Here's how Vaughn explains it ... he says he went into one of the execs' offices and saw a new 'X3' script, which he says he realized was notably fatter. When he asked what it was, he claims the exec told him not to worry about -- but Vaughn insisted and rifled through it ... noticing that an entire scene about Halle's character, Storm, had been added -- where she helps starving kids in Africa by using her superpowers.

Naturally, Vaughn asked what the heck this was ... pointing out this wasn't the version of the script that'd been ran by him. The response he claims he got back forced him to bail.

Vaughn says, "'[I went,] ‘What is this?' [They said,] 'Oh, it’s Halle Berry’s script. I went, 'OK, because she hasn’t signed up yet.' 'But this is what she wants it to be, and once she signs up, we’ll throw it in the bin.'" In other words, they were gonna pretend to include the scene that Halle wanted but then scrap it entirely once they got her to sign on the dotted line.

Vaughn says he was disgusted by this, saying ... "I was like, 'Wow, you’re gonna do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm? I’m outta here.' So I quit at that point."

He doesn't name any names here, but the story is troubling -- especially when you consider Halle did, in fact, act in this film ... and the Storm scene described is nowhere to be found.

El regreso de Travis Scott al mundo de las giras ya ha tenido un comienzo accidentado, porque su tercer show hasta el momento fue pospuesto a último minuto y todavía no se sabe por qué.

El rapero tenía previsto actuar por segunda noche consecutiva el sábado en el PNC Arena de Raleigh, Carolina del Norte, donde acababa de dar un concierto multitudinario la noche anterior como parte de su gira por Norteamérica "Utopia Circus Maximus Tour", que hasta ahora ha recibido críticas muy favorables. Antes del viernes, Trav ya había actuado en Charlotte, Carolina del Norte ... por lo que este habría sido el concierto # 3.

Desafortunadamente, para sus fans que querían verlo para el back-to-back ... no tuvieron suerte, recibiendo la noticia horas antes del inicio del concierto que Travis no subiría al escenario.

Se envió un mensaje a todos los poseedores de entradas para el segundo concierto en el PNC, que reflejaba lo que se había publicado en la puerta del recinto: "El concierto de Travis Scott de esta noche en el PNC Arena ha sido pospuesto. Animamos a los fans a que conserven sus entradas, ya que serán válidas para la nueva fecha que se determine. Disculpen las molestias. Gracias!"

Eso no sentó bien a mucha gente que había acudido a la zona -en algunos casos, desde muy lejos- para verle en directo... y algunos publicaron sus reacciones de decepción en Internet.

WRAL News también entrevistó a un puñado de asistentes al concierto ... que dijeron que no se les dio ninguna explicación en absoluto para el aplazamiento - no desde el proveedor de terceros, el lugar o de Travis / su equipo tampoco. Lo que parece escocer aquí es el hecho de que él estaba literalmente allí el viernes ... y nada parecía estar mal. En todo caso, parecía un rager.

Por supuesto, la ironía aquí es que Live Nation añadió este segundo show de Raleigh en respuesta a una aparente demanda que se presentó camino de regreso a principios de septiembre. Su primer concierto en la ciudad se había agotado, por lo que añadieron otro - donde las entradas también volaron de las estanterías.

No hace falta decir que Trav necesita que esta gira funcione. Es su primera vez en la carretera en los Estados Unidos desde la tragedia Astroworld, y digamos que necesita toda la buena vibra que pueda conseguir

Jada Pinkett Smith ha estado hablando muchísimo sobre su complicada vida a los medios de comunicación, y durante todo este tiempo Will Smith había guardado.

El actor es citado en una nueva entrevista que Jada concedió a NYT el sábado durante la promoción su nuevo libro y el actor finalmente ha respondido.

El Times dice que recibieron una respuesta por correo electrónico de Will, quien al parecer les dijo que las memorias de Jada "como que lo despertaron". Continúa diciendo que se había dado cuenta de que ella es más "resistente, inteligente y compasiva de lo que él había creído".

Will escribe: "Cuando has estado con alguien durante más de la mitad de tu vida, se instala una especie de ceguera emocional y puedes perder con demasiada facilidad la sensibilidad a sus matices ocultos y sus sutiles bellezas". Es un poco críptico, pero en resumidas cuentas, parece que la apoya.

Su sentimiento aquí es notable, porque las bombas de verdad de Jada estos últimos días han frotado un montón de gente de la manera equivocada y una nueva conversación se ha formado sobre ella y Will nuevamente, incluyendo la percepción de que ella está (una vez más) castrándolo públicamente.

Recordemos que esa fue una de las principales conclusiones de su charla a solas en "Red Table Talk" hace unos años, cuando ella parecía arrinconarlo para que hablara de su "enredo".

Ahora, sin embargo, pareciera que a Will no le importa lo que ha compartido con el resto del mundo, el hecho de que ya no están involucrados románticamente, que viven vidas separadas y que se niegan al divorcio, entre muchos, muchos otros secretos.

Otra cosa notable de esta entrevista es que Jada reveló que se sintió herida por el especial de Netflix de Chris Rock, donde se hicieron bromas sobre ella y Will de nuevo. Además, contó que toma ayahuasca con regularidad y que incluso hizo un viaje con Will después de la bofetada de los Oscars.

Travis Scott's return to the touring world is already off to a bumpy start -- 'cause his third show so far got postponed at the last minute ... and there's still no word on why.

The rapper was scheduled to perform for a second night in a row Saturday at PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC ... where he'd just played a massive concert the night prior as part of his North America "Utopia Circus Maximus Tour" -- which has gotten rave reviews so far. Before Friday, Trav had already performed in Charlotte, NC ... so this woulda been concert #3.

Unfortunately for his fans wanting to catch him for the back-to-back ... they were out of luck, receiving news just hours before the start of the gig that Travis wouldn't be taking the stage.

A message went out to all ticket holders for the second PNC show, which reflected what was posted on the door to the actual venue -- reading, "Tonight's Travis Scott concert at PNC Arena has been postponed. Fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets as they will be honored for the TBD new date. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you!"

That didn't sit well with a lot of people who'd flocked to the area -- in some cases, from far away -- to catch him live ... and some folks posted their disappointed reactions online.

WRAL News also interviewed a handful of would-be concert-goers ... who said they were given no explanation whatsoever for the postponement -- not from the third party vendor, the venue or from Travis/his team either. What seems to sting here is the fact that he was literally there on Friday ... and nothing seemed amiss. If anything, it looked like a rager.

Of course, the irony here is that Live Nation added this second Raleigh show in response to an apparent demand that presented itself way back in early September. His first concert there in town had sold out, so they threw in another -- where tickets also flew off the shelf.

It goes without saying, Trav needs this tour to go well ... it's his firs time on the road here in the States since the Astroworld tragedy -- and he could use all the good will he can get.

Jada Pinkett Smith has been spilling her guts about her complicated life to the media -- but Will Smith's been absolutely mum during all of it ... until now, that is.

The actor is quoted in a new NYT interview that Jada did Saturday in plugging her new book -- and they're the first outlet to actually have an on-record reaction ... which is big, considering he's been silent over the past several days amid these many revelations.

The Times says they got an email response from Will, who apparently told them JPS's memoir "kind of woke him up." They go on to say, paraphrasing Will, that he'd realized she is more "resilient, clever and compassionate than he'd understood." Then, a direct quote.

Will writes, "When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties." It's a little cryptic, but bottom line -- he seems to back her.

His sentiment here is notable, because Jada's truth bombs these past few days have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way ... and a new conversation has formed about she and Will all over again, including the perception that she's (yet again) emasculating him publicly.

Remember, that was a major takeaway from their one-on-one 'Red Table Talk' chat a few years ago ... when she appeared to cajole him into talking about her "entanglement."

Now, however ... it sounds like Will doesn't mind what's been shared with the rest of us -- including the fact that they're no longer romantically involved, they live separate lives and that they refuse to get divorced ... among many, many other secrets that have been dished.

The only other notable thing from this Times interview is Jada disclosing she was hurt by Chris Rock's Netflix special -- where he cracked jokes about her and Will anew -- and that she does ayahuasca regularly ... including a trip sesh with Will post-Oscars slap.

The mother of one of Antonio Brown's children is fed up with the ex-NFL star ... telling TMZ Sports he's still ducking child support payments -- and now, she wants him arrested over it.

Wiltrice Jackson -- who gave birth to Brown's daughter, Antanyiah, in 2008 -- spoke with us about her ex this week ... claiming he owes her nearly $31,000.

And, she says if she doesn't get the cash ASAP ... she wants him behind bars.

Of course, cops have already been ordered by the court to arrest Brown ... after a judge ruled back in August that he missed child support payments. According to court records, there's been no movement in the case since the order was issued.

It was the second time this year that a judge has issued the order against Brown.

Jackson says, regardless, it's all getting old for her ... and she's now wishing police would find him and slap the cuffs on him once and for all.

"I do want him arrested," she said. "Because, right now, he's making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he's untouchable."

It's not all about dollar bills, though ... Jackson's attorney, Pascal Michel, tells us his client wants Brown to be "an involved father," especially since his 15-year-old daughter is following in his footsteps as a star athlete.

In fact, Jackson said Antanyiah -- who participates in track and field at her high school -- has received interest from over 80 schools, including the University of Miami and Oregon.

"By him having a daughter like an athlete like her, you would think he'd be in her corner to support her," Jackson said.

El padre de Drake, Dennis Graham, no siente que su hijo necesite hablar sobre la violencia en Israel y Gaza porque cualquier comentario le será echado en cara en la corte de la opinión pública.

Hablamos con Dennis en LAX y ciertamente no parecía que hubiera hablado con Drake, quien es judío, sobre sus reflexiones en relación con el ataque terrorista de Hamas y la respuesta militar de Israel -- pero está seguro que le está afectando a Drake, como a todos los demás.

El silencio de Drake, en particular, ha sido un tema candente en las redes sociales gracias a DJ Vlad ... quien ha estado haciendo un llamado a Drizzy y DJ Khaled, que es palestino, por no utilizar sus inmensas redes sociales para hablar sobre la crisis.

Dennis dice que las celebridades reciben muchas más reacciones cuando abordan públicamente temas candentes y está seguro que con Drake no será diferente.

Sin embargo, el orgulloso padre seguía apoyando totalmente el trabajo de su hijo -- luciendo de pies a cabeza la mercancía de "For All the Dogs". También nos aseguró que Drake estará bien ... refiriéndose a los problemas estomacales que provocaron su pausa en la música.

Drake dijo que podría estar ausente por más de un año, y Dennis es su padre, no su médico -- pero hizo eco de mucho de lo que dijo Drake ... es algo menor, no es grave.

También preguntamos sobre la rutina de cocrianza de Drake, a raíz de que publicara una gran foto familiar con Adonis y la madre de Adonis.

KXNG Crooked agrees with Wallo's assessment of today's hip hop needing fine-tuning but thinks it'll take an industry overhaul of personnel to really get the job done!!!

ICYMI, the "Million Dollaz Worth Of Game" cohost went viral with a super lengthy, yet effective, PSA criticizing the state of hip hop in '23 ... urging artists and their teams to do more than the bare minimum.

Well, the COB rapper sees Wallo's point and expressed his own frustrations and solutions to rap's quality drought with TMZ Hip Hop this week.

Crook cites a quote he heard from former White House honoree Felecia Hatcher that's all about holding an artist's feet to the fire.

In his career, he's been signed independently and to a major label -- he was once on Eminem's Shady Records alongside Joe Budden and his current collaborator Joell Ortiz -- but Crook believes underground artists show more passion in the music than their mainstream counterparts.

The topic of trash rap music has bounced around several generations ... Ice-T, KRS-One, Bow Wow and Bobby Shmurda have voiced negative opinions this year.

Crook's assessment is pretty simple -- the wrong label execs are greenlighting album rollouts and multimillion dollar budgets, and industry quality will improve once those "bad actors" are ousted.
