Controversial S#!T

Felicity Huffman is finally speaking out about the college admissions scandal that landed her in prison, and she kinda sorta is still justifying what she did, in the name of her daughter's future.

Felicity sat with KABC's Marc Brown and explained she had hired a highly recommended college counselor coach Rick Singer for a year, trying to secure a spot at the college of her choice.

The actress says after a year, he gave her bad news ... she wasn't up to speed and would not get into any of the colleges. Felicity says Singer "slowly" rolled out a criminal scheme which she ultimately bought.

Felicity ended up paying Singer $15k to bribe a proctor into changing her daughter's wrong SAT answers. As for why, she says it felt like the only option to give her daughter a future.

At one point she says, "It was sort of like my daughter's future, which meant I had to break the law."

Huffman spoke of the FBI raid on her home ... "They came into my home, they woke my daughters up at gunpoint - again, nothing new to the Black and brown community - then they put my hands behind my back and handcuffed me."

She continued, "I asked if I could get dressed. I thought it was a hoax. I literally turned to one of the FBI people in a flak jacket and a gun and I go "is this a joke?"

Huffman served 11 days for the crime.

Her daughter, Sophia, was not aware of her mom's shenanigans. Sophia is now studying drama at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh.

As for Felicity, she's now working with A New Way of Life, an org helping incarcerated women to re-enter society.

Beyoncé no está dejando que los haters opaquen su brillo y se está volviendo aún más rubia frente a las acusaciones de que intenta parecer blanca, y Jay-Z la está apoyando.

La cantante está redoblando su rubio platinado y el uso de sus atuendos de plata en Londres, donde está celebrando el estreno de su película "Renaissance".

Beyoncé ha sido perseguida por diversas acusaciones de que está intentando "parecer blanca" con su pelo platinado, pero ella no está prestando atención si nos basamos en lo que llevaba puesto para cenar con su marido.

Tienen que ver el vestido super único de Beyoncé, si es que podemos llamarlo vestido. El diseño es extra pesado en plata, brillo y bling.

Mientras tanto, Jay se la jugó por un estilo más tradicional, vistiendo un esmoquin.

En cuanto a la controversia, todo comenzó cuando Beyoncé fue vista con un vestido plateado y el pelo platinado durante el estreno de su película en Los Ángeles. Muchos usuarios en línea alegaron que ella se estaba aclarando la piel.

Los comentarios no sentaron nada bien a Tina Knowles, quien tachó a los haters de racistas y defendió el look de Beyoncé como parte de la temática del estreno de "Renaissance", la que gira en torno al plateado.

Beyoncé is not letting haters dim her shine ... she's going even lighter in the face of accusations she's trying to look white ... and Jay-Z's supporting her.

The singer is doubling down on her platinum blonde hair and silver outfits across the pond in London ... where she's celebrating her 'Renaissance' movie premiere.

Beyonce's been dogged by accusations she's trying to “look white“ with her platinum hair ... but she‘s paying it no mind, based on what she wore out to dinner with her husband.

Ya gotta see Beyonce's super unique dress ... if you can call it that ... the design is extra heavy on silver, shine and bling.

Meanwhile, Jay is in a more traditional look for the fancy outing ... he's rocking a tuxedo.

As for the controversy, it all started when Beyonce was seen in a silver dress and platinum hair during the L.A. premiere of the movie ... with folks online going so far as to claim she's lightening her skin.

The comments didn't sit well with Tina Knowles ... she blasted the haters as racist bozos, defending Beyonce's look as part of the theme of her 'Renaissance' premier ... which is all about silver.

Dave Chappelle has a couple of U.S. Congresswomen full-on fangirling -- and since one of 'em is Rep. Lauren Boebert, ya couldn't blame Dave if he asked her to keep her hands in clear view!

Boebert and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna snapped a selfie alongside the comedian Thursday in the Capitol -- and the Colorado congresswoman turned the moment into a platform for her anti-LGBTQ views. She captioned her IG post, "Just three people who understand that there are only two genders 😄."

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ Dave had no intent on getting political with the photo op, and it was a spontaneous moment. He's in D.C. for an "Art is Activism" event at Duke Ellington School of the Arts ... which is, famously, Dave's high school alma mater.

We're told he went to meet some friends -- not politicians -- who work on Capitol Hill, and ended up running into several members of Congress, including Lauren and Anna, who scrambled for pics.

Ya gotta imagine Dave had a bunch of jokes bouncing around his head upon seeing Rep. Boebert -- considering all the buzz earlier this year when she was getting super handsy in the dark with her date at a Denver theatre. While watching "Beetlejuice," no less!

3:15 PM -- Von Miller has turned himself in ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to a spokesperson for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, the Buffalo Bills star was booked at the Glenn Heights Police Department in Glenn Heights, Texas at around 4 PM CT on Thursday.

Von Miller has been accused of getting violent with a pregnant woman this week -- shoving her, pulling her hair, and putting his hands around her neck in a heated altercation.

The disturbing allegations are all spelled out in a felony warrant of arrest issued for the Buffalo Bills star on Wednesday.

In the documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, authorities say the confrontation initially began inside Miller's Dallas-area apartment at around 10:40 Wednesday morning ... when he and the woman argued over their weekend travel plans.

According to the docs, the woman grew upset during the spat, left the bedroom and walked into the home's office, slamming the door behind her ... which made Miller "visibly angry."

Officials say in the documents Miller then entered the room and demanded she leave the place. The woman, according to the docs, said she'd comply -- though she wanted to grab a laptop and some cell phones from the residence as "they were both cohabitants of the unit."

That's when Miller, however, allegedly turned things physical.

In the docs, officials say the victim alleged Miller walked up to her while she was getting her things and repeatedly shoved and pushed her.

"While the altercation was going on," officials wrote in the warrant, the woman "kept yelling 'Stop I'm pregnant.'"

But, the victim told authorities Miller eventually pushed her onto a chair -- before he used one hand to apply pressure to her neck "for 3 to 5 seconds before letting go." The woman told officials, according to the docs, that she felt pain, but did "not have difficulty breathing."

Miller then allegedly chucked the woman's laptop on the ground and stomped on it. Officials say the woman told them when she went to retrieve the electronic device, the NFL player then "pulled her by her hair, ultimately pulling a chunk of hair out and causing her to fall to the ground."

Officials in the docs say Miller later pushed her onto a couch and "placed pressure around her neck with both hands, again causing pain but no difficulty breathing."

"When [the woman] got up she stated to [Miller] she was going to call for police, resulting in [Miller] leaving the residence," officials said in the docs.

According to the warrant, when cops arrived on the scene, the woman -- who said she was six weeks pregnant -- had visible abrasions on her left hand, as well as bruising on her neck, abdomen and left bicep.

34-year-old Miller is now wanted on one felony charge of assault on a pregnant person -- though as of Thursday afternoon, he had yet to be formally arrested.

Miller -- a DeSoto, Texas native -- joined the Bills in 2022 after a successful run with the Denver Broncos and L.A. Rams ... and despite a good start with his new team in his first year, he's been largely ineffective this season returning from an ACL injury.

Buffalo is currently on its bye week.

Ex-Chicago Blackhawks player Corey Perry is breaking his silence ... apologizing for his actions and adamantly denying the reason he got kicked off the team had anything to do with Connor Bedard's mother.

The 38-year-old Canadian had his contract terminated earlier this week ... after the team said he violated the Blackhawks' internal policies over "conduct that is unacceptable."

The move came days after folks on social media spread a rumor that Perry hooked up with Bedard's mom, Melanie ... and the chatter got so loud, Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson had to address the "wildly inaccurate" and "disgusting" claims.

Now, Perry is also speaking out on the situation ... and he, too, is confronting the false narrative head-on.

"As a result of my actions, there has been speculation and rumors," Perry said in a statement. "I am sickened by the impact this has had on others, and I want to make it clear that in no way did this situation involve any of my teammates or their families."

"Most importantly, I want to directly apologize to those who have been negatively affected and I am sorry for the additional impact to others it has created. My behavior was inappropriate and wrong."

While details surrounding the specific incident have not been disclosed, Perry was reportedly involved in an "alcohol-infused incident" with team staffers and corporate sponsors prior to getting cut.

Perry said he is now seeking mental health and alcohol treatment ... in hopes he doesn't repeat his actions moving forward.

"I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career," he added.

TMZ Sports has learned an arrest warrant has been issued for NFL superstar Von Miller ... after he allegedly assaulted a pregnant woman.

According to a spokesperson for the Dallas Police Department ... the warrant stems from an incident involving Miller and a woman on Nov. 29 at around 11 AM.

Cops say they responded to a Dallas-area residence over "a major disturbance call" ... and officers were told there was "a verbal argument" between Miller and a woman that turned physical.

Cops say Miller left the scene before officers arrived -- and the woman "was treated for minor injuries," but was not taken to the hospital.

As of early Thursday morning, the 34-year-old Buffalo Bills pass rusher had not been jailed.

Miller's team released a statement on the matter, saying, "This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this point."

The NFL, meanwhile, said in a statement of its own, "We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club. We have no further comment at this time."

Miller, who's from DeSoto, Texas, is currently on a bye week. He last played for Buffalo on Sunday in Philadelphia, logging 21 snaps in an overtime loss to the Eagles.

Miller initially began his career in 2011 with the Broncos and put together a Hall of Fame resume for the Denver franchise -- but he was traded to the Rams during the 2021 season.

After helping L.A. win a Super Bowl that season, he moved on to Buffalo in 2022 ... and while his Bills career got off to a solid start, he's largely been ineffective since tearing his ACL on Thanksgiving last season.

In his career, Miller -- the Super Bowl 50 MVP -- has totaled 123.5 sacks in 169 games.

Piers Morgan spilled the Royal tea in a big way Wednesday night, ID'ing the senior royals who Meghan Markle and Prince Harry claimed made racist comments about the skin color of their unborn son, Archie.

As you know, a new book -- "Endgame" -- written by Omid Scobie, had a Dutch version which named the culprits. That version has been yanked from the shelves and online sales, but it got out. Everyone was afraid to mention names .... and then Piers came along.

On Piers' TalkTV/Fox Nation show "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Wednesday night, he said, "The royals who were named in this book are King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales."

Now Scobie says he never submitted a version of his book where specific names were mentioned. It doesn't answer a key question ... how does a book get translated into Dutch and names suddenly appear that were never in the English version?

Piers said he has his doubts ... "I don't believe any racist comments were ever made by any of the royal family, and until there is actual evidence of those comments being made, I will never believe it."

Harry and Meghan were coy with Oprah about which royal/royals worried that Archie's skin might be too dark, but lots of people began guessing the culprits were King Charles and Prince William.

It's interesting ... Charles has a fractured relationship with his son, which is better than the now non-existent relationship Harry has with William.

Buckingham Palace is pissed over the ongoing accusations, reportedly "considering all options."

Piers Morgan se fue de boca a lo grande el miércoles por la noche, luego de identificar a los miembros de la realeza de alto rango que Meghan Markle y el Príncipe Harry acusaron de haber hecho comentarios racistas sobre el color de piel de su hijo, Archie.

Como saben, el nuevo libro "Endgame", escrito por Omid Scobie, tenía una versión escrita en holandés que nombraba a los culpables. Esa versión fue retirada de las estanterías y de las ventas online, pero se difundió de todos modos. Todos estaban asustados de mencionar algún nombre... y entonces apareció Piers.

En el programa de Piers en Fox Nation, "Piers Morgan Uncensored", el miércoles por la noche, el presentador dijo: "Los miembros de la realeza que fueron nombrados en este libro son el rey Carlos y Catherine, princesa de Gales."

Ahora Scobie dice que nunca presentó una versión de su libro en la que se mencionaran nombres concretos. Pero no respondió a una pregunta clave, ¿cómo se traduce un libro al holandés y de repente pasa que los nombres nunca estuvieron en la versión en inglés?

Piers dijo que tiene sus dudas: "No creo que ningún comentario racista haya sido hecho por ningún miembro de la familia real, y hasta que no haya pruebas reales de que se hicieron esos comentarios, nunca lo creeré".

Harry y Meghan fueron tímidos con Oprah sobre quiénes fueron las personas que mostraron preocupación por que la piel de Archie pudiera ser demasiado oscura, pero mucha gente comenzó a adivinar que los culpables podían ser el rey Carlos y el príncipe William.

Es interesante, pues Charles tiene una relación fracturada con su hijo, que es mejor que la ahora inexistente relación entre Harry y William.

El Palacio de Buckingham está cabreado por las continuas acusaciones, y según se informa, "está considerando todas las opciones".

Beyoncé is responding to haters who think she's intentionally lightening her skin ... by keeping the spotlight on her blonde ambition for a night out with Jay-Z, Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill.

Bey's platinum locks were front and center as she and Jay left London's Oswald's Private Club -- but, her complexion was certainly darker than it was in the shots of her at last weekend's "Renaissance" movie premiere.

The famous foursome's power dinner came the night before the London premiere of "Renaissance," so we're guessing Tom and Henry are showing their support ... but ya gotta wonder who paid? The Carters ARE the billionaire couple.

Beyonce was definitely feeling her fit ... because she posted a fresh set of images, and the Beyhive rallied behind them, suggesting she shared the images, particularly the ones zoomed in on her face, as a direct response to all the online comments about her skin tone.

One fan commented on the new pics with ... "One thing about it my girl she never responds to the haters directly but it's ALWAYS going to be a way she clears without saying a WORD! #BrownSkinGirl."

B was criticized for her movie premiere appearance ... with many taking offense to her lightened locks and skin tone, and some even accusing her of bleaching her skin.

The backlash was so consuming that B's mother Tina Knowles, jumped to her defense ... denouncing the accusations as stupid, ignorant, self-hating, and racist.

Beyoncé le está respondiendo a los haters que piensan que está aclarando su piel, poniendo foco en su rubia ambición al salir de fiesta con Jay-Z, Tom Cruise y Henry Cavill.

Los mechones platinados de Bey estaban al frente y al centro cuando ella y Jay salieron del Club Privado Oswald de Londres, pero su tez estaba ciertamente más oscura de lo que se vio en sus fotos del estreno de la película "Renaissance" el fin de semana pasado.

La cena del famoso cuarteto se produjo después del estreno de su película en Londres, por lo que suponemos que Tom y Henry estaban apoyando la cinta, pero tenemos que preguntarnos, ¿quién pagó? Los Carter SON la pareja multimillonaria.

Beyoncé estaba definitivamente muy segura en su atuendo. La cantante publicó un nuevo conjunto de imágenes y la Beyhive se unió detrás de ella, sugiriendo que Bey compartió las imágenes, especialmente una de su rostro, en respuesta directa a todos los comentarios que ha recibido en línea sobre su tono de piel.

Un fan comentó las nuevas fotos diciendo: "¡Una cosa sobre mi chica, ella nunca responde a los haters directamente, pero SIEMPRE encontrará la forma de aclarar las cosas sin decir una PALABRA! #BrownSkinGirl".

B fue criticada por su apariencia en el estreno de su película. Muchos usuarios se ofendieron por su pelo platinado y su tono de piel. Algunos incluso la acusaron de haberse blanqueado la piel.

El contragolpe fue tan agotador que la madre de B, Tina Knowles, saltó en su defensa denunciando las acusaciones de estúpidas, ignorantes y racistas.

Ari Lennox no juega... eso está muy claro, porque detuvo su show y amenazó con noquear a una fan en Los Ángeles después de que una botella de agua la golpeara en plena performance.

La cantante nacida en Washington DC, que ha firmado con Dreamville Records de J. Cole desde 2015, estaba en el escenario abriendo para la gira "Nostalgia" de Rod Wave cuando una botella de agua la golpeó en el brazo.

Ari parecía haber logrado deshacerse de la fan y estaba más que dispuesta a reorganizar su cara, pero su guardaespaldas sabiamente la escoltó fuera del escenario antes de que la violencia se desatara.

No se sabe si el fan fue expulsado del lugar, pero los alborotadores han sido muy intensos durante todo el año, si no pregúntenle a Drake. De hecho, atrapó un objeto que le lanzaron durante su gira "It's All a Blur", pero otros artistas como Bebe Rexha no han tenido tanta suerte.

12/1 7:33 AM PT -- It doesn't look like Ari Lennox's assailant got too far.

TikTok user TwistDCreole captured security confronting a woman and claims she was later thrown out of the venue -- with the bottle she allegedly threw.

Somehow this all feels like it could've been prevented.

Ari Lennox don't play ... that much is crystal clear, because she stopped her show and threatened to knock out a fan in L.A. after she got belted with a water bottle while performing!!!

The D.C.-born singer, who's been signed to J. Cole's Dreamville Records since 2015, was onstage opening up for Rod Wave’s "Nostalgia" tour when the water bottle whizzed in her direction and struck her in the arm.

An enraged Ari immediately addressed the Kia Forum crowd in hopes of seeking out the bottle-throwing bozo and told them don’t be fooled by the glitz and glamour … she’s a “real ass bitch” and she’ll “f*** them up!!!”

Ari appeared to have scoped the fan out and was MORE than willing to rearrange their face ... but her bodyguard wisely escorted her from the stage before the violence could erupt.

No word if the fan got removed from the venue but troublemakers have been out of pocket all year -- just ask Drake. He actually caught the book thrown at him during his "It's All a Blur" tour, but other artists such as Bebe Rexha haven't been as lucky.

The fan is probably lucky security held Ari back ... she was going to do much more damage than a water bottle!!!

LeBron James is racing to Tyreek Hill's cameraman's defense ... ripping the NFL for suspending the guy for his role in one of the Dolphins receiver's touchdown celebrations earlier this year.

The Lakers forward took to his Instagram page to blast The Shield late Wednesday evening ... just days after Hill's photog said Roger Goodell's league might remove him from its sidelines forever for participating in Hill's backflip celly during a game in October.

"Man," the NBA superstar wrote, "this is F'd UP!!!"

"Suspended for the year and possibly for good!" James added. "C'mon NFL! Do better! S*** ain't that serious."

A lot of people on social media certainly agreed with The King's stance ... because, after all, Hill's endzone party with his cameraman has so far been one of the best moments of the year in the NFL.

It all happened back on Oct. 15 ... after Hill scored six against the Carolina Panthers.

Once he crossed the goal line, he raced through the endzone -- and when he noticed his photog and good pal Kevin Fitzgibbons filming him, he grabbed the guy's cam and performed a selfie backflip. Fitzgibbons jumped up and down, and Hill appeared to be in great spirits after it too.

The league, however, clearly didn't love it -- refs penalized Hill for it during the game for using a prop, and officials fined him for it afterward. Later, the league pulled Fitzgibbons' credentials for the remainder of the 2023 season as well.

In a video posted to his TikTok page this week, the 20-year-old photographer said he understood the NFL's decision ... and said he was grateful for the opportunity it gave him. He added that he hoped the league would let him back next year.

Farrah Abraham dice que su relación con un nuevo novio —que conoció a través de OnlyFans— es legítima, asegurándonos que no hay nada sórdido pasando y la gente tiene que dar un paso atrás.

La ex estrella de "Teen Mom" le dice a TMZ que ella es muy seria cuando se trata de salir con su nuevo hombre y ver a dónde va su relación, manteniéndolo fuera de la luz pública. Él no le está pagando por su compañía como algunas personas están diciendo en línea.

Farrah dice que sus redes sociales están siendo inundadas con comentarios negativos desde que publicó un collage de fotos y videos con su nuevo novio de un viaje de Acción de Gracias y está leyendo cada cosa mala que se dice de ella.

Algunas personas están teniendo problemas con la idea de que Farrah deje a su hija adolescente para irse de viaje al extranjero con un hombre misterioso durante las vacaciones, amenazando con llamar a CPS (servicio de protección de menores).

Farrah dice que su hija nunca va en viajes de pareja con ella y el niño siempre tiene un cuidador cuando ella está fuera del país. En otras palabras, no hay razón para llamar a CPS.

TMZ publicó la historia, Farrah le hizo firmar un NDA (Acuerdo de confidencialidad) a su novio después de conocerlo en Only Fans y luego coincidir en una aplicación de citas. Estas son medidas adicionales para asegurarse de que no la está utilizando para conseguir fama en línea.

Farrah Abraham says her relationship with a new boyfriend she met via OnlyFans is legit and not an escort situation ... telling us there's nothing seedy going on and folks need to back off.

The former "Teen Mom" star tells TMZ ... she's serious about dating her new man and seeing where their relationship goes by keeping him out of the limelight, and he's not paying her for her companionship, as some folks online are claiming.

Farrah says her social media is being flooded with negative, hateful comments since posting a collage of photos and videos with her new BF from a Thanksgiving trip to Turks and Caicos.

Some folks are taking issue with Farrah leaving her teenage daughter behind to go on an overseas trip with a mystery man over the holidays ... threatening to call CPS on her.

But, Farrah says her daughter would never go on a couples birthday trip with her, and the kid always has a caretaker when she's out of town. In other words, no reason to call CPS. Farrah says her daughters safety is high priority and she abides by all laws as a responsible parent.

TMZ broke the story ... Farrah made her new BF sign an NDA after meeting him on OF and then matching on a dating app, as she tries to take extra steps to make sure he isn't using her for fame for online clout.
