Controversial S#!T

Honey Boo Boo ain't messin' around when it comes to her cash ... threatening Mama June with some legal drama for "stealing" her money.

Here's the deal ... the reality stars sat down for another money-related discussion on this week's episode of "Mama June: Family Crisis" -- with June handing over checks for her daughter Alana -- better known as Honey Boo Boo.

The small amount of money HBB receives shocked Mama's daughters who interrogate her about it ... before eventually admitting she spent some cash on cost of living expenses, like clothes and food.

That certainly upset her daughter ... who says in a confessional that she may need to consider legal action against her mom -- adding she feels June's stolen from her.

It seems like Alana's fed up with her mom ... 'cause this isn't the first time they've quarreled over cash.

Remember ... just last week, an episode came out where Honey Boo Boo said she felt her mom always had money for everyone else, but never for her -- and she accused her mom of spending more on her husband's gold chains than her own college.

Now, we know these episodes were shot a while ago ... 'cause the family's talking about Alana's college tuition money, and we know she's already in school. She's studying nursing in Colorado, and she says she received a $21,000 scholarship.

Celebrity jeweler Shuki International tells TMZ Sports he's willing to tear up his court judgment against Antonio Brown ... if the former NFL star simply gives him back his diamonds.

Shuki's been in a war with AB over the jewels for years -- writing in a lawsuit back in 2023 that the ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout borrowed his iconic "Shuki International" finger covers and other prized possessions in 2022 ... but never paid for them or returned them.

Shuki actually won the case against Brown last month after the footballer failed to fight the suit ... with a judge ordering AB to pony up $1,095,000 million.

But when we spotted Shuki out in LA this week ... he told us Brown hasn't paid yet -- nor has he attempted to give back the items.

Shuki said he actually had a conversation with Brown over it all -- and AB apparently made it clear to him "he's not going to pay."

"Which is OK," Shuki continued, "just tell him to bring back the rings so we can settle."

Shuki said he doesn't harbor any animosity toward Brown despite the tense situation -- in fact, he said if AB hops on a new music track with him, he might be willing to forgive the whole thing right then and there.

But, getting his items back is obviously priority No. 1 for the jeweler.

"'Hey, bring back the ring,'" Shuki said in a message to Brown. "'Be cool. Be nice. I love you like a brother. But I don't think it's fair to hold something that you don't own. Especially with a court order now.'"

A controversial royal family biographer is in some hot water for a tweet he posted minutes before Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis.

Omid Scobie -- who wrote a controversial book on the royal family last year -- shared a tweet of him setting an alarm for 6 PM on Friday ... the time in England when Kate Middleton shocked the world by revealing she has cancer.

And, right after the Princess of Wales revealed the info, two things happened -- Scobie took the tweet down, and social media raked him over the coals.

Comments calling the tweet tasteless and attacking Omid's character ran rampant across X ... and the journalist ultimately had to address the online controversy after several media outlets picked up the news.

In another tweet posted Friday, Scobie explains he didn't know what the announcement was about, and only wanted to alert his followers to the news -- deleting his post shortly after watching Middleton's video.

Scobie expresses his frustration with the outlets who reported the story, saying they ran with the post as if it were a sick "countdown" to the news ... which he says was never his intention.

It's not totally shocking some people may think Omid was making light of the news ... 'cause he's quite the controversial figure in the royal realm. Remember, Scobie wrote the book "Endgame" which made some serious claims about the royal family.

Among them, two senior royals were alleged to have made racist comments about Meghan and Harry's children. Though they were supposed to go unnamed, a Dutch translation of the book listed them ... as King Charles and Princess Kate.

Scobie's said the two were erroneously identified ... but, the book left a sour taste in many people's mouths -- and it appears Scobie's no longer getting the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to the Princess of Wales.

Leah McSweeney le está pidiendo a Andy Cohen que se retracte, diciendo que le encanta ir tras las mujeres y que debería pedirle disculpas a Kate Middleton.

La ex estrella de "Real Housewives of New York", que presentó una demanda contra Cohen en febrero, lo criticó por Instagram el viernes, solo unas horas después de que se supiera el anuncio que la Princesa de Gales ha sido diagnosticada con cáncer.

En el comunicado, compartido en su historia de Instagram, Leah dice que Cohen disfruta siendo "cruel" con las mujeres y que Kate no fue una excepción a la regla. Continúa diciendo que este debería disculparse con Catherine y termina pidiendo que las personas que están en posiciones de poder practiquen un mejor liderazgo.

Por si no lo saben, Andy compartió un tweet después de que TMZ obtuviera un video del Príncipe William y la Princesa Catherine caminando en la granja de Windsor, en el que decía: "Esa no es Kate ...".

También habría hablado sobre los rumores de infidelidad de parte de William en su podcast, todo antes de que Kate anunciara que está lidiando con el cáncer.

Con todo, esto no se ve bien para Cohen, que es solo una de las muchas celebridades que ha recibido críticas en las últimas horas por las bromas y comentarios que hicieron sobre Kate antes de la reveladora noticia.

Blake Lively ya se ha disculpado por hacer una broma sobre la foto familiar "photoshopeada" de Middleton, mientras que Kim Kardashian ha estado callada respecto a su propio post en el que se refería a la princesa Kate en el pie de foto.

Por cierto, McSweeney está demandando a Cohen y a Bravo por crear un ambiente de trabajo tóxico, en el que su salud mental y sus dificultades asociadas al consumo de alcohol fueron explotadas por el show. Por lo tanto, ella tiene sus propias razones para estar criticando los comentarios de Cohen.

Dicho esto, McSweeney ha estado diciéndole a la gente que deje tranquila a Kate por un tiempo. El domingo 17 de marzo publicó un mensaje en el que le deseaba lo mejor a Middleton mientras le pedía a la gente que respetara la privacidad de la princesa y dejara de cotillear sobre ella.

Leah McSweeney's taking Andy Cohen to task ... claiming he loves viciously going after women -- and calling on him to apologize to Kate Middleton.

The former 'Real Housewives of New York' star -- who filed a lawsuit against AC back in February -- called out Cohen on Instagram Friday hours after the Princess of Wales' shocking cancer announcement.

In the statement, shared to her Instagram story, LM says Cohen enjoys being "cruel" to women, and adds Kate was no exception to the rule. She continues by saying Cohen needs to apologize to Catherine ... and finishes by calling on people in power to practice better leadership.

ICYMI ... Andy shared a tweet after TMZ obtained video of Prince William and Princess Catherine walking at a farm stand in Windsor, writing, "That ain't Kate..."

He also reportedly spoke about rumors of infidelity between William and on his podcast earlier this week ... all before Kate announced she's dealing with cancer.

All in all ... not a great look for Cohen -- who's just one of many celebs who have caught some flak for jokes and comments they made about KM before her video Friday.

The stars of "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" are admitting they messed up by making some jokes about 'Quiet On Set' ... claiming they didn't understand the magnitude of the docuseries until now.

Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee -- who starred in the hit Nickelodeon show during its three-season run -- took some time on a podcast episode released Thursday to address controversial jokes they made about the shocking documentary.

In their new episode, Werkheiser and Lee try to explain their comments to fans ... saying they weren't talking specifically about Drake Bell ... but in the confusion of the moment, it came out that way.

ICYMI ... the trio was on TikTok Live when they were asked to comment on the new television project full of claims of child sexual abuse at the network.

They say a lot -- and acknowledge they probably shouldn't joke about the series -- but Devon also uses the phrase "give me your holes" during the clip ... and Drake Bell responded on social media, blasting the three.

The stars say they were multitasking, and the whole moment was simply chaotic ... but they know they shouldn't have made any jokes -- especially now that they've seen the doc.

Kim Kardashian stayed mum about Kate Middleton's shocking cancer revelation Friday ... this after the reality star created controversy over her recent flippant comments about the princess.

Kim and her son, Saint, tried to make a fast getaway as they were leaving his basketball game in Thousand Oaks, CA -- but they couldn't escape the lenses of the paparazzi.

As they dashed inside their waiting SUV, one of the shutterbugs hurled a question at Kim, asking her for a comment about Kate. Kim didn't even acknowledge the photog before disappearing inside the vehicle with Saint and being driven away.

As you may recall ... Last Sunday, Kim got herself in some hot water when she posted an Instagram image, showing her standing next to her ride while making a small wisecrack about Kate. In the caption, Kim lightly joked that she was on her way to find the Princes of Wales.

This all happened after Kate vanished from the public eye amid her then-secret cancer crisis.

But it didn't matter ... Kim caught heat from commenters, accusing her of trolling Kate for flying under the radar. Now Kim is getting really roasted after Kate's big cancer reveal Friday. The reason? Kim hasn't taken down her Kate post from IG.

Blake Lively is apologizing to Kate Middleton for mocking the princess' now infamous photoshopped image before Friday's big cancer reveal.

The actress posted a message to Instagram hours after Kate told the world about her cancer diagnosis in a video released by Kensington Palace – the home of Kate and Prince William's family.

Blake started off by saying she needed to get something off her chest even though no one would care considering the atomic bomb Kate had just dropped.

But Blake dove in ... writing she created a "silly post around the 'photoshop fails' frenzy, and oh man, that has me mortified today."

She added, "I'm sorry. "Sending love and well wishes to all, always.”

Of course, Blake was trying to make up for posting a clearly edited image promoting her beverage biz, Betty Buzz, which highlighted an unusually large thumb and a floating lemon.

Blake was referring to Kate's edited "Mother's Day" photo that triggered a hodgepodge of theories about what was wrong with the Princess of Wales.

Blake Lively se está disculpando con Kate Middleton por burlarse de la imagen retocada de la princesa antes de que se supiera el gran anuncio de su cáncer el viernes.

La actriz publicó un mensaje en Instagram horas después de que Kate compartiera su diagnóstico de cáncer con el mundo en un video publicado por el Palacio de Kensington, el lugar donde viven Kate y el príncipe William.

Blake empezó diciendo que necesitaba desahogarse, aunque a nadie le importara luego de la gran noticia que Kate acababa de soltar.

Pero Blake siguió de todos modos, escribiendo que creó un "post tonto en torno al frenesí de la foto editada con photoshop", y que eso la tenía "mortificada".

Y añadió: "Lo siento. Les mando mi amor y buenos deseos a todos, siempre".

Por supuesto, Blake estaba tratando de compensar la publicación de una imagen claramente editada, donde promocionaba su negocio de bebidas, Betty Buzz, donde se puede apreciar un pulgar inusualmente grande y un limón flotando en el aire.

Blake se refería a la falsa foto de Kate del "Día de la Madre" que desencadenó una gran cantidad de teorías sobre lo que estaba pasando con la Princesa de Gales.

En el comentario de esa foto, Blake dijo que estaba "muy emocionada" de compartir la imagen de Betty Buzz antes de disparar contra Kate y decir: "Ahora saben por qué he estado desaparecida en acción".

Como saben, Kate desapareció del ojo público en medio de su batalla contra el cáncer, el que fue descubierto durante la cirugía abdominal que se realizó en enero.

En su mensaje de video, Kate dijo que su equipo médico le aconsejó que se sometiera a "quimioterapia preventiva", la que ha comenzado recientemente.

También habló sobre el "gran shock" que significó el diagnóstico y el apoyo que ha significado tener a su marido, Guillermo, a su lado.

Kate también dijo que la parte más importante de esta terrible experiencia era darle la mala noticia a sus tres hijos. Dijo que tenía que hacerlo de una manera apropiada para que se sintieran tranquilos de que su madre iba a estar bien.

Amanda Bynes isn't interested in talking about her child star past -- especially for the doc about Nickelodeon -- because she simply didn't have a bad experience ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … both Amanda and her parents -- Rick and Lynn -- were approached about telling their stories on "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," but we're told they all opted not to participate.

Our sources say Amanda -- whom we're told did not watch the documentary -- declined to sit for an interview on account that she felt she just didn't have anything to share that would further their cause. In other words, she didn't go through what the 'QOS' subjects did.

On the contrary, our sources tell us Amanda is grateful for what she was able to do with her Nickelodeon start -- as we're told she acknowledges that it launched her career back then.

As for her parents ... our sources say they're private people and wanted to stay out of the spotlight for this. Unlike Amanda, we're told they actually watched the documentary and were both saddened and disgusted by the allegations.

But again, we're told the family unit as a whole hadn't experienced what these other child actors did while at the network ... which is why it didn't make sense for them to sit for it.

As we all know, Amanda starred on "The Amanda Show" from 1999 to 2002 alongside Drake Bell -- who revealed he was abused by dialogue coach Brian Peck. Peck was credited on some episodes of 'TAS' as well.

Some of Drake's former costars -- like Josh Peck who also appeared on "The Amanda Show" -- have come out in recent days ... saying they watched the documentary and are lamenting the horrors their costars claim they dealt with.

BTW ... one of the 'Quiet On Set' episodes focuses heavily on Bynes, including how she was discovered at the Laugh Factory in the mid-90s -- so, it does seem a little odd that Amanda isn't interested in peeping the series at all ... especially since she's a focal point in it.

Of course, it goes without saying ... Amanda's been through her own personal saga -- conservatorship, etc. -- and in the aftermath of that, it's clear she wants to leave the past in the past and focus on other ventures ... including her burgeoning cosmetology career.

3/22 -- 3:18 PM PT -- MLB just announced it has officially launched its probe into the matter ... saying, "Major League Baseball has been gathering information since we learned about the allegations involving Shohei Ohtani and Ippei Mizuhari from the news media."

"Earlier today, our DOI began their formal process investigating the matter."

MLB is doing its due diligence with Shohei Ohtani ... with sources telling TMZ Sports that league officials are gathering information to determine if the face of baseball was involved in the gambling scandal surrounding his translator.

Ohtani's inteprator and best friend Ippei Mizuhara has given conflicting stories on Shohei's involvement ... first saying the Dodgers superstar was well aware of his huge gambling debts, and loaned him millions of dollars to get out of the hole. He later backtracked, saying the Japanese two-way athlete had no idea.

As for Ohtani, his attorney claims he's been the victim of a "massive theft."

Now, MLB's trying to figure out what the hell is going on -- not necessarily because they believe Shohei did anything wrong -- but because gambling is an existential threat to any pro sport.

Look no further than Pete Rose ... who despite his exploits on the diamond, was banned for life in 1989 after he admitted to wagering on games -- although no one has accused Ohtani of betting on baseball, or any other sport for that matter.

It's worth noting, it sounds like Ohtani -- who signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers this offseason -- has nothing to hide.

We're told his team alerted authorities to the "theft" ... and the feds are currently investigating.

No one connected to the probe has been arrested.

The Dodgers are 1-1 on the season, and their newly signed star is off to a solid start, despite the scandal ... collecting 3 hits and 2 RBIs in 10 plate appearances on the season.

Candace Owens was fired from her hosting job at the Daily Wire because her bosses were fed up with what they viewed as her repeated promotion of antisemitism ... TMZ has learned.

The conservative media company announced Friday morning that it was parting ways with Candace, and while no official reason was mentioned ... sources with direct knowledge tell us it was squarely over what the Daily Wire honchos saw as antisemitism, and the firing went down early this week.

Candace and fellow Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro have had a very public feud recently on social media over their opposing views on the Israel-Gaza conflict -- and we're told the last straw for the DW was her March 8 appearance on the "Fresh and Fit" podcast.

The hosts were talking to Candace about the rift with Ben, and every time Ben or his wife -- who is Israeli -- was mentioned the show dropped a cha-ching sound effect, an obvious nod to the antisemitic trope about Jews and money.

While Candace didn't say anything to besmirch Ben, we're told the feeling was she didn't say anything to defend him or call out the antisemitism. To be fair, it's unclear whether she heard that sound effect while recording the podcast.

We're told Daily Wire execs had previous conversations with Candace in an attempt to understand her position -- as they didn't want to censor her -- but they felt the podcast incident crossed the line.

As one source in the know put it, Candace often bragged about being one of the best communicators in media, so the DW execs felt "she knew what she was doing."

We're also told Shapiro was not involved in the decision to fire Candace, and he doesn't have any power to do so.

Candace addressed her feud with Ben when she was on "The Breakfast Club" Thursday, saying she was not anti-Israel or antisemitic ... she's simply against all forms of genocide. A source connected to Candace insists the same, telling us "She's obviously not an antisemite."

Un vuelo de American Airlines se convirtió en un caos total cuando un pasajero antisemita insultó a una azafata antes de terminar con una llave en la cabeza.

Tienes que ver este increíble video, el tipo de la camisa azul y a rayas pierde totalmente el control incluso antes de que el vuelo de Tampa a Filadelfia despegue el martes. Solo está lanzando odio a diestra y siniestra, acusando a todos de confabularse contra él.

Pero cuando le suelta un insulto antisemita a una azafata, se puede ver la conmoción en la cara de todos los pasajeros, pero a él no le importa y continúa gritando: "¡Estoy tratando de llegar a mi país de origen y todos ustedes me han hecho más difícil llegar!".

La cosa se pone aún más loca cuando se enzarza en una pelea con otro pasajero, el de la sudadera azul, a quien acusa de haberlo tocado. Se agarran la cara y hacen un montón de maniobras de machito, antes de que el tipo de la capucha tome las riendas y le haga una llave en la cabeza al hombre que inició todo el revuelo.

Luego llegan más refuerzos y la mujer con sombrero intenta calmar los ánimos, diciendo que es policía y resulta que el encapuchado también lo es.

Mientras le aplicaba la llave de cabeza, el hombre de la capucha le gritó: "Ahora baja las manos y no toques a nadie", antes de escoltarlo hasta la salida del avión.

An American Airlines flight descended into total chaos when an antisemitic passenger spewed a seriously hateful insult at a flight attendant before ending up in a headlock.

You gotta check out this wild clip -- the guy in the blue striped shirt totally loses it even before the flight from Tampa to Philadelphia takes off Tuesday ... he's hurling hate left and right, accusing everyone of ganging up on him.

But, when he drops an antisemitic slur on a flight attendant, you can see the shock on everyone's faces ... but he doesn't care and goes on to yell, "I'm trying to get to my home country, and you all people made it harder for me to get to my home country!"

It gets even crazier when he gets into a scuffle with another passenger -- the guy in the blue hoodie -- accusing him of touching him. They get in each other's faces, and there's plenty of machismo posturing, before the dude in the hoodie takes charge and puts the antisemite in a headlock!

Further backup arrives with the woman in a backward hat trying to calm things down, saying she's a cop ... and turns out the hoodie guy is too.

As he applied the headlock, he yelled, "Now put your hands down and don't touch anybody" ... before escorting him to the plane's exit.

Candace Owens -la experta en política- estuvo en "The Breakfast Club" y pasó un examen de cultura con gran éxito... ¡rojo, negro y verde!

El jueves, Charlamagne, Jess Hilarious y DJ Envy sorprendieron a Candace con un "cuestionario negro" que habían compilado, y la orgullosa -aunque polarizada- republicana, impresionó interpretando gran parte del tema de apertura de "El Príncipe de Bel-Air" de Will Smith.

A Candace tampoco se le ocurrió el nombre del juez del Tribunal Supremo Ketanji Brown Jackson... pero sabía lo qué NO hay que llevar a una comida al aire libre.

A lo largo de la aparición, Candace mantuvo que no estaba en contra de la "cultura negra", sino más bien contra la ignorancia, y culpó a las escuelas públicas y a la adoración de celebridades en la comunidad por mantener a la gente ignorante.

Su postura sobre la educación explica su reciente reacción al éxito de Ice Spice "Fart", donde declaró que la canción por sí sola hizo retroceder a la sociedad estadounidense unos cuantos niveles.

Hablando de canciones de fuego, el cuestionario también reveló que Candace necesita un repaso del tema "Good Times".

Rejoice, Eagles fans ... the NFL is NOT banning the "Tush Push" play -- at least, not in 2024.

NFL exec Troy Vincent announced Thursday that league officials will not hear a proposal on the play at its annual meeting in Orlando next week ... clearing the way for Philadelphia to keep using their ultra-effective quarterback sneak for next season.

Of course, there were plenty around the game who wanted to see it kicked out ... as it wasn't exactly the most fun play for fans to watch -- and hardly the safest for players to execute either.

But Vincent made it clear ... the play is here to stay for now -- explaining, "There wasn’t the sort of injury data that would give the committee the opportunity to make a decision."

The Eagles popularized the play starting in the 2022 season ... letting Jalen Hurts burrow behind Jason Kelce and the rest of the Eagles' O-line to pick up key first-downs on short-yardage plays.

Some have wondered how effective the play will be with Kelce now retired -- but the Eagles will almost certainly try to find out plenty next season now that it'll be allowed.

There could be several rule changes still coming, however ... officials are slated to decide on hip-drop tackles, kickoff regulations and much more in sit-downs next week.
