TAYLOR SWIFT $1 BIL 'ERAS' TOUR SHATTERS RECORD ... Could Double Next Year!!
The wins keep coming for Taylor Swift ... whose "Eras" tour has already raked in an estimated $1.04 BILLION in gross ticket sales.
According to live-music trade publication Pollstar, it's the first-ever tour to smash the billion-dollar milestone.
The sky-high numbers have topped all previous tours in ticket sales for the 12-month period from Nov. 17, 2022, to Nov. 15, 2023 -- and yes, that includes Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour, which takes second place.
It's estimated that Tay's tour has sold a whopping 4.35 million tickets from 60 shows ... with merchandise sales racking up to $200 million during the yearly run.
Those record-breaking numbers are expected to escalate -- as Pollstar predicts that ticket sales from the next eligible box-office year will once again hit $1B -- taking the tour's total to $2B.
Of course, the enormous success of her tour means Taylor will be lining her pockets with some hefty payday checks -- though she's shown that sharing is caring ... dishing over $50M in total bonuses to her concert crew and an extra $100k to every truck driver hauling her tour equipment around the country.
Also, let's not forget -- her concert film also bagged an enormous $250M at the global box office.
Surely, her achievements speak volumes ... hushing the haters of her recent Time's Person of the Year crowning.
Among her grind, it appears she's found the perfect work/life balance ... making plenty of time for BF Travis Kelce.

Las altísimas cifras han superado todas las giras anteriores en venta de entradas para el período de 12 meses comprendido entre el 17 de noviembre de 2022 y el 15 de noviembre de 2023, y sí, eso incluye la gira "Renaissance" de Beyoncé que ocupa el segundo lugar.
Se estima que la gira de Tay ha vendido la suculenta suma de 4,35 millones de entradas, correspondientes a 60 espectáculos. A eso hay que sumar las ventas de las mercancías que acumulan unos $200 millones en el año.
Se espera que estas cifras récord sigan aumentando. Pollstar predice que las ventas de entradas del próximo año podrían llegar de nuevo al billón, acumulando un total de $2B.
Por supuesto, el enorme éxito de su gira significa que Taylor se llenará los bolsillos de unas sumas considerables de dinero, aunque ha demostrado que compartir es cuidar. Ha repartido más de 50 millones de dólares en bonificaciones totales al equipo a cargo de sus conciertos y 100.000 dólares extra a cada conductor que los acarrea por todo el país.
Además, no nos olvidemos de que su película sobre la gira también ha recaudado una enorme suma de $250M en la taquilla mundial.
Sin duda, sus logros lo dicen todo y son suficientes para callar a los haters por haber sido coronada como Persona del Año en la revista Time.
Además de su trabajo, parece que ha encontrado el equilibrio perfecto entre la vida profesional y amorosa, pasando un montón de tiempo con su novio Travis Kelce.

Sophie Turner Kissing Single Life Goodbye!!! Makin' Out with New BF, An Aristocrat No Less
Sophie Turner has rebounded from her split with Joe Jonas, 'cause she's got a new guy!
Sophie was in full make-out mode in London Friday with her new boyfriend, British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson -- no worries on pronunciation ... he goes by Perry.
S&P strolled down the streets of London, hand in hand, as they made it clear to one and all -- they're a couple.
We actually saw the 2 back in October kissing each other in Paris ... but it was unclear if they were in a relationship. Now it's crystal clear.
As for his lineage ... Perry is the eldest son of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray -- also a major stakeholder in the Pearson family media empire.
Sophie's loaded -- $10 mil -- but it pales in comparison to Perry, whose bank is north of $270 mil.

As TMZ reported, Joe Jonas filed for divorce back in early September, and it was acrimonious from the jump, although things seemed to have calmed down.
As for Perry, he's coming off a relationship with King Charles' goddaughter, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark.
Joe and Sophie have reached a temporary child custody agreement, where their 2 kids will travel back and forth from the U.S. to the U.K., although no permanent arrangement has been struck.
Life goes on.

Common and Jennifer Hudson are talking about a powerful, romantic, soulful collab -- not necessarily a wedding, at this point -- but musically, he'd love to make something together.
The topic came up last night as Common pulled up at LAX, where a photog asked him about the odds of his GF and him hitting the studio anytime soon.
Common says the chances are high, but he's not willing to say exactly when -- he approaches music like relationships ... the records have to happen organically!!!
The Chicago natives have been going strong for well over a year and Common had no problem bigging up his partner ... dubbing her one of the "greatest voices of this generation" oughta score him some points this holiday season.
Common's praise echoed much of what Jennifer told us when we spoke to her in August ... they're not embellishing their union for the public eye, but they're not dodging the PDA moments either.
It's not like Common can really overhype his woman -- Jennifer is the youngest woman to earn EGOT status, and he's just a Tony away from joining that elite status.
They're arguably the most critically acclaimed couple of all time!!!

BHAD BHABIE CASH MY BABY BUMP OUSSIDE!!! First Outing After Pregnancy Reveal
Bhad Bhabie aka Danielle Bregoli, is making sure you "cash her bump ousside" ... as she was seen publicly for the first time since her big pregnancy reveal.
The 20-year-old Dr. Phil alum paraded her bump in a black crop top as she left her L.A. home Thursday ... carrying a Jersey's Mike Sub order to combat those pregnancy cravings.
Bhabie's BF, Le Vaughn, emerged shortly after ... confirming they're going stronger than ever as they prepare for parenthood.
TMZ broke the story back in April that they got matching tats ... so, needless to say, it would've been a pain -- quite literally -- if they had split and got the inkings removed.
Their low-key outing comes a week after the rapper revealed on IG she had a bun in the oven.
This is BB's first pregnancy ... and we're not sure how far along she is.
Looks like Bhabie's baby will be well cared for ... with her raking in 50 million bucks on OnlyFans alone.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Wonky Shoes Turn Heads in Dubai
Kanye West and Bianca Censori were Dubai mall rats Thursday ... and her shoes turned heads, but not in a good way.
K&B were both decked out in all-black ensembles ... Bianca went for flair by rocking Balenciaga furry pumps that go for $1,130 out the door.
She was covered pretty much head to toe, except for her face and hands ... it's standard issue in many parts of the Middle East, although Dubai has more relaxed customs than most.

Ye's tank top had both his guns a-blazin' -- a similar wardrobe choice as the one he performed in with Lil Durk, Ty Dolla $ign and Bump J over Thanksgiving weekend.
Animal activists can breathe easy -- Balenciaga's fur isn't real nor is the stuffed animal she cradled when she and Ye turned out to support Jordanian-Romanian fashion designer Amina Muaddi's exhibit last week.

Kanye West Y Bianca Censori Llevan extravagantes zapatos en Dubai
Kanye West y Bianca Censori estuvieron paseando por el centro comercial de Dubai el jueves, y sus zapatos hicieron que varios volteran la cabeza, pero no en el buen sentido.
K y B iban vestidos de negro, y Bianca llevaba en los pies unos zapatos de piel de Balenciaga que cuestan $1,130.
También iba cubierta casi de pies a cabeza, a excepción de su cara y sus manos. Esta es una norma en muchos lugares de Medio Oriente, aunque Dubai tiene costumbres más relajadas que la mayoría.

La camiseta de Ye, en tanto, es muy similar al vestuario con el que actuó junto a Lil Durk, Ty Dolla $ign y Bump J durante el fin de semana de Acción de Gracias.
Mientras tanto, los activistas por los animales pueden respirar tranquilos, pues la piel de Balenciaga no es real y tampoco lo es el animal de peluche que llevó Bianca cuando ella y Ye fueron a la exposición de la diseñadora de moda jordano-rumana Amina Muaddi.

Estrella de "Sobrenatural" Muy contento al salir del hospital ... Tras un gran susto
La estrella de "Sobrenatural" Mark Sheppard, está fuera del hospital después de sufrir 6 ataques al corazón y milagrosamente evitar la muerte, mostrando una sonrisa en su camino a casa.
El actor de 59 años de edad fue visto saliendo del hospital de Los Ángeles el jueves, con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja y repartiendo algunos abrazos al personal del hospital.
Mark parece tener todavía algunos drenajes postoperatorios conectados, que se utilizan comúnmente para drenar el exceso de sangre y líquido después de la cirugía, un precio pequeño a pagar por la terrible experiencia que enfrentó hace menos de una semana.
Como informamos, Mark afirmó haber sufrido una serie de "ataques cardíacos masivos" después de colapsar en su cocina el viernes. EMTs logró traerlo de vuelta a la vida cuatro veces.
Mark tenía una obstrucción total en su arteria descendente anterior izquierda, también conocido como LAD.
Mark le dio crédito a su esposa y al equipo de St. Joseph para su supervivencia y si su enorme sonrisa es una indicación, es probable que tenga una nueva mirada en la vida.

El multimillonario fundador de Amazon y la ex presentadora de televisión llegaron de la mano el jueves en Art Basel Miami Beach, una salida que se produce después del anuncio del mes pasado que se están trasladando a Miami.
La pareja iba combinada, usando pantalones vaqueros de mezclilla. Examinaron las instalaciones de arte y Lauren mostró un poco de piel con un top y gafas de sol con mucho estilo. Sí, a ella le va a ir muy bien en Miami.
El dúo se unió por el hijo de Lauren Nikko González, en dirección al interior para ver las obras de arte de alto precio, mientras se codeaban con la élite de la ciudad el primer día del prestigioso evento de arte.
Semanas antes, Jeff reveló en Insta su plan para trasladarse a Indian Creek Island en Miami Beach, poniéndole fin a su estancia en Seattle, el lugar de nacimiento de su mega empresa de tecnología.
Él ha estado haciendo importantes preparativos desde entonces, como el atraque de su buque de $500 millones de dólares en Ft. Lauderdale a pesar de que aún no ha confirmado cuando en realidad planean mudarse.
Todo está listo para la pareja comprometida, solo no les pregunte acerca de los planes de boda en el corto plazo. Lauren le dijo a Vogue, que aún no han hecho ningún avance con eso.

The 59-year-old actor was spotted heading out of the Los Angeles-area hospital Thursday, grinning from ear to ear and dishing out some hugs to the hospital staff.
Mark appears to still have some post-op drains connected, which are commonly used to drain excess blood and fluid after surgery ... a small and temporary price to pay for the terrifying ordeal he faced less than 1 week ago.
As we reported, Mark claimed to have suffered a series of "massive heart attacks" after collapsing in his kitchen Friday, with EMTs bringing him back to life 4 times.
Mark had a total blockage in his left anterior descending artery -- otherwise known as a LAD.
Mark credited his wife and the St. Joseph's team for his survival ... and if his massive grin is any indication, he's likely got a new look on life.

Iman Shumpert I Never Made Teyana Feel Endangered

Exclusive
- 2.6K shares
The divorce drama between Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor is heating up ... he's now calling BS on her claim he made her feel endangered when she was with him.
According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Shumpert says Teyana never proved he made her feel endangered, despite making the claim in recently filed divorce papers. Iman wants the court to take action, and to remove Teyana's accusations from the documents.
To get specific, Teyana put something called "cruel treatment" as grounds for the couple's divorce, which is defined as "willful infliction of pain bodily or mental ... [that] reasonably justifies apprehension of danger to life, limb, or health."
Iman says that's nonsense, and the only grounds should be "irretrievable broken bond." He wants the "cruel treatment" grounds thrown out.
What's more, Iman says despite Teyana's claims, he's never been irresponsible when it comes to the care of their two daughters, seven-year-old “Junie” Tayla, and three-year-old Rue Rose.
The new filing from Iman is just another chapter in what's already become a nasty custody battle. As we reported, Teyana first filed the divorce docs using only the couple's initials in an attempt to keep everything private from the public.
However, Iman blew the lid off the secret when he filed a motion asking the court to attach their full names to the documents ... and allowing the public to know what was going on.
TMZ broke the story, the two have been living separately since the filing, and communication has been minimal ... only happening when it comes to the care of their daughters.
