YG Baby Mama Involved in Fatal Crash ... 89-Year-Old Woman Killed

Published | Updated

YG's baby mama, Catelyn Sparks, was involved in an unfortunate accident, resulting in the death of an 89-year-old woman ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sparks was driving her 2023 Tesla in L.A. Wednesday when the crash occurred. We're told the other woman -- driving a 1985 Cadillac -- made a U-turn in front of Catelyn's vehicle, and Catelyn struck the woman's driver-side door.

The 89-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene ... and Catelyn was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Our law enforcement sources tell us Catelyn did not commit a crime, no drugs or alcohol were involved, and the crash was the result of an accident.

It's not totally clear if YG and Catelyn are currently together, they've got 2 kids, but their relationship has had it's ups and downs. It was back in May when the rapper and Saweetie were spotted on a romantic trip down in Cabo ... locking lips in the pool.

Shortly after the photos went public, Catelyn posted a cryptic message on social media, writing, "Just because we got the same blood don't make us family & just because we got kids don't make us family, cuz with 'family' like mine? I rather not have any."

We reached out to a rep for YG ... so far, no word back.

Amber Heard Claimed Momoa Dressed Like Depp To Mess with Her On 'Aquaman 2' Set

Published | Updated

Amber Heard told her therapist Jason Momoa was purposely dressing like her ex Johnny Depp while filming the 'Aquaman' sequel ... one of many claims just now coming to light.

The news comes courtesy of new legal docs from Amber's defamation trial last year, which were recently made public ... and detail some startling allegations she made in therapy sessions back in 2021, when she and Jason were working on 'A2.'

During one particular session in December of that year, she said she felt Jason was seemingly trying to play mind games with her by intentionally copying JD's fashion sense, right down to his multi-fingered rings ... according to Variety.

There are more allegations she made about Jason to her therapist at the time -- including a claim he was intoxicated on set, and that he was working to get her fired.

A rep for DC denied these characterizations, saying ... "Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." A separate source told Variety, Jason's fashion sensibility naturally reflects a bohemian style ... pushing back on Amber feeling he was trying to torment her.

There are a lot more juicy nuggets in the docs ... including the allegation Warner/DC tried canning Amber ahead of filming of 'Aquaman 2' -- but not because of her Johnny drama, but more so over a perceived lack of chemistry with Jason.

Amber's then-boyfriend, Elon Musk, fired off a letter to the studio on the heels of that ... threatening to "burn the house down" at WB, according to Variety.

If true, you'd have to say it worked ... they did keep Amber, although a handful of her scenes were cut down in the final edit of 'Aquaman 2; -- including a love scene with JM.

It's a peek behind the curtain amid a lot of speculation at the time over how much the Amber-Johnny saga had affected their respective work prospects -- especially for Amber, who came under intense criticism in the wake of Johnny's victory. Remember, fans wanted her character, Mera, completely recast, and a viral petition got started over it ... to no avail.

Now, 'A2' is set to hit theaters in December ... and time will tell what the box office will be. The first one was a massive success, but insiders say this new one hasn't landed so well with audiences in test screenings, which has spurred a number of reshoots/new cuts.

In any case, we've reached out to both Amber and Jason's teams ... so far, no word back.

AMBER HEARD AFIRMÓ QUE MOMOA SE VISTIÓ COMO DEPP para atormentarla en el set

Published | Updated

Amber Heard le dijo a su terapeuta que Jason Momoa se vestía a propósito como su ex, Johnny Depp, durante el rodaje de la secuela de "Aquaman". Una de las muchas afirmaciones que acaban de salir a la luz.

La noticia viene por cortesía de los nuevos documentos legales del juicio por difamación de Amber del año pasado, que recientemente se hicieron públicos y detallan algunas alegaciones sorprendentes que hizo en las sesiones de terapia en 2021, cuando ella y Jason estaban trabajando en "Aquaman 2".

Durante una sesión en particular en diciembre de ese año, dijo que sentía que Jason estaba tratando de jugar con su mente, copiando intencionalmente el sentido de la moda de Depp, hasta sus múltiples anillos... según Variety.

Hay más acusaciones para Jason, incluyendo una afirmación de que estaba intoxicado en el set y que parecía estar buscando su despido.

Un representante de DC negó estas declaraciones diciendo: "Jason Momoa se comportó de manera profesional en todo momento en el set de "Aquaman y el Reino Perdido". Otra fuente le dijo a Variety que la moda de Jason refleja naturalmente un estilo bohemio y que esto no tenía que ver con la actriz.

Hay muchas más pepitas jugosas en los documentos, incluyendo la alegación de Warner/DC al intentar despedir a Amber antes del rodaje de "Aquaman 2", pero no a causa de su drama de Johnny, sino más bien por la falta de química con Jason.

El entonces novio de Amber, Elon Musk, le envió una carta al estudio antes de amenazar con "quemar la casa" en WB, según Variety.

De ser cierto, habría que decir que funcionó, ya que mantuvieron a Amber, aunque un puñado de sus escenas fueron recortadas en la edición final de "Aquaman 2", incluyendo una escena de amor con Jason.

Se trata de una mirada tras el telón en medio de muchas especulaciones sobre hasta qué punto la saga Amber/Johnny había afectado a sus respectivas perspectivas laborales, especialmente en el caso de Amber, que fue objeto de intensas críticas tras la victoria de Johnny. Recordemos que los fans querían a su personaje, Mera, completamente replanteado, y una petición viral se inició al respecto... aunque todo fue vano.

Ahora, "A2" está lista para llegar a los cines en diciembre y el tiempo mostrará los resultados. La primera fue un éxito masivo, pero los conocedores dicen que la nueva entrega no ha funcionado bien en las proyecciones de prueba, lo que ha estimulado una serie de reshoots y nuevos cortes.

En cualquier caso, nos hemos puesto en contacto con los equipos de Amber y Jason... de momento, sin noticias.

SHANNON BEADOR Getting Treatment After DUI Arrest ... Still Doing Stand-Up

Published | Updated

Shannon Beador is getting herself some treatment after her recent DUI bust ... but it's not preventing her from going on tour with her fellow 'Housewives of Orange County' castmates.

Sources close to Shannon tell TMZ ... she is taking responsibility and accountability for her arrest and is currently enrolled in an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component.

We're told Shannon still plans on participating in her upcoming 'Tres Amigas' comedy shows with Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson -- and although alcohol's been a big part of their act ... Shannon won't be drinking, and they're adjusting the show to focus more on their friendship.

SPEEDING & SWERVING

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was arrested last month over what cops say was a wild ride in her car that ended with her slamming into someone's Newport Beach home, damaging a concrete planter and nearly crashing through the front door.

Surveillance footage of Shannon's alleged drunken night shows her zipping through a residential area before crashing into the property.

Remember, cops on the scene say they found Shannon pretending to walk her dog before they booked her on 2 misdemeanors ... DUI alcohol plus hit-and-run.

Shannon's also offering to pay for the property damage ... and after looking into treatment options, she's found one she feels suits her needs.

MMA's Mike Jackson On Fighting Pat Miletich ... He's Leaving On A Stretcher!

NOT AS EASY AS IT USED TO BE

Pat Miletich and Mike Jackson used to be close friends -- key words, used to be -- now the men are about to scrap in an MMA cage, and they both have designs on seriously hurting each other!

Miletich and Jackson are fighting October 14 at Caged Aggression 36 in Davenport, Iowa ... and we talked to both men as they prepare to battle.

Miletich, a UFC Hall of Famer (2014), is 55 years old and hasn't fought in nearly 15 years. But, because the guys don't see eye to eye when it comes to life and politics, this was a fight Pat couldn't pass up.

"We got a pretty severe problem and there has to be some retribution for that. Do I hate Mike Jackson? No. Will I pull his arm off? Depends on my mood."

Pat continued ... "I can take him down at will. If I wanna be compassionate, take him down and choke him really quick. That's probably an option, to be honest with you."

Ah, compassion.

HE PUT THE BLAME ON ME

As for 38-year-old Mike, he rose to prominence in 2018 when he beat (it was later overturned and ruled a "no contest" over a failed drug test for weed) professional wrestler turned fighter CM Punk.

"If I'm being honest with you, only one objective is for him to be carried out of a stretcher, whether he's unconscious or not," Jackson told us.

"I don't want him walking out on his own like that's my only objective."

Jackson then went on to explain the nature of their beef and how it started (it concerns January 6/The Capitol) ... and it's clear the men have serious issues.

Because of the backstory, MJ says the fight means more to him than CM Punk ... which put Mike on the map with casual fans.

"I know the Punk fight was a really big fight in the MMA sphere given the platform it was on, but personally given where I am currently in my life and what I'm fighting for and all the things that's going on in the social sphere, this fight means way more to me. It's not just a fight."

21 SAVAGE Desaparecido en acción... No se presenta en show de Drake en Canadá

Published | Updated

Actualización

8:47 AM PT -- Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que funcionarios canadienses decidieron a último minuto que 21 Savage no podía entrar al país, aunque no está claro el porqué.

21 Savage se perdió su muy publicitada actuación con Drake en Canadá, después de que obtuviera finalmente su Green Card, y es un gran misterio el porqué.

Se suponía que el rapero iba a actuar con Drake en el Scotiabank Arena en Toronto el viernes por la noche, pero Champagne Papi trajo a Lil Baby en su lugar.

Sin contratiempos

El concierto habría sido el primero al que 21 puede asistir legalmente, fuera de los Estados Unidos - gracias a su nueva Green Card. Desafortunadamente, eso no pasó, dejando a todo el mundo rascándose la cabeza.

Como informamos, Drake insinuó recientemente en su canción "8AM in Charlotte" que 21 había superado sus problemas de inmigración. En el tema dice: "Savage obtuvo una Green Card directamente del consulado / Donde voy, vas, hermano, somos yugoslavos".

En 2019, las autoridades de inmigración de Georgia detuvieron a 21 tras descubrir que era ciudadano del Reino Unido y que había estado viviendo ilegalmente en Estados Unidos con un visado caducado. Su caso se prolongó durante años, y se complicó aún más por el hecho de que fue atrapado con codeína y una pistola durante el arresto.

21 ha estado de gira con Drake desde hace meses, pero nunca en lugares fuera de Estados Unidos. La vez más icónica fue cuando Drake visitó Vancouver y se llevó con él a Travis Scott.

21 Savage MIA From Drake Performance In Canada ... Mystery Swirls

Published | Updated

UPDATE

8:47 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Canadian officials decided last minute 21 Savage could not enter the country though it’s unclear why.

21 Savage went MIA from his much-hyped performance with Drake in Canada after finally getting his Green Card -- and it's a big mystery why.

The rapper was supposed to perform with Drake at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Friday night, but Champagne Papi brought out Lil Baby instead.

100723-drake-lil-baby-21-savage-performance-kal
WITHOUT A HITCH

The concert would have marked the first time 21 was legally permitted to travel outside the United States -- thanks to his shiny new Green Card. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, leaving everyone scratching their heads.

As we reported, Drake recently hinted in his rap song, "8AM in Charlotte," that 21 had finally overcome his immigration issues. He rapped, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

Back in 2019, 21 was taken into custody by immigration authorities in Georgia because he was actually a UK citizen -- living in the United States illegally on an expired visa. His case dragged on for years, and was further complicated by the fact he was caught with codeine and a handgun during the bust.

For months now, 21's been touring with Drake, but has never been able to hit locations outside the US -- most notably when Drake went to Vancouver and ushered Travis Scott onto the stage.

21 Savage Deja Estados Unidos por primera vez en años... Se une a Drake en Toronto

Published | Updated

21 Savage tiene su Green Card y finalmente está haciendo uso de ella, porque según ha indagado TMZ, se uniría a Drake este fin de semana en Toronto.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que 21 y su equipo estarán en "The 6" el viernes y sábado por la noche para las paradas en Toronto de la gira "It's All a Blur". Es la primera vez en años que 21 puede salir legalmente de Estados Unidos.

Drake lanzó su esperado álbum "For All The Dogs" el viernes e insinuó que 21 finalmente había resuelto sus problemas de inmigración en la canción "8AM in Charlotte".

En ella Drake rapea: "Savage consiguió una tarjeta verde directamente del consulado / Donde yo voy, tú vas, hermano, somos yugoslavos".

Fue en 2019 cuando 21 fue detenido por el ICE (el Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas de Estados Unidos). En ese entonces nos enteramos de que 21 era en realidad del Reino Unido, y que había estado viviendo ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos con una visa expirada. El caso se prolongó durante años y se complicó aún más por el hecho de que fue atrapado con codeína y una pistola durante la redada.

Por supuesto, 21 ha estado de gira con Drake desde hace meses, pero nunca había podido ir a lugares fuera de Estados Unidos. De hecho, cuando Drake fue a Vancouver decidió llevar consigo a Travis Scott en lugar de 21.

No está claro exactamente cuando se resolvieron los asuntos con el gobierno, pero hay un montón de fans en todo el mundo que no pueden esperar a verlo de vuelta en su ciudad.

21 Savage Leaves United States for First Time in Years ... Joins Drake in Toronto

Published | Updated

21 Savage has a Green Card and he's finally putting it to good use, joining Drake in Toronto to perform together ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ 21 and his team will be in "The 6" Friday and Saturday night for the Toronto stops of the "It's All a Blur" tour. It's the first time in years 21 has legally been able to leave the United States.

Drake dropped his highly-anticipated "For All The Dogs" album Friday, and hinted 21 had finally cleared his immigration issues on the track "8AM in Charlotte."

Drake raps, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

It was back in 2019 when 21 was taken into custody by ICE, and we learned he was actually from the UK -- living in the United States illegally on an expired visa. The case dragged on for years, further complicated by the fact he was caught with codeine and a handgun during the ICE bust.

Of course, 21's been touring with Drake for months now but has never been able to hit locations outside the US -- most notably when Drake went to Vancouver and brought Travis Scott out in place of 21.

Unclear exactly when 21 got everything cleared up with the government, but there are plenty of his fans around the world who can't wait to see him back in their city.

KEEPIN' UP WITH SNOOP

Ed Sheeran's lightweight lungs were no match for Snoop Dogg when they smoked together ... in fact, the singer says he got so high the sesh made him temporarily go blind!!!

Ed says it was earlier this month when he found himself backstage with Snoop, his wife and Russell Crowe in Melbourne, Australia.

UNLIKELY TRIO

Ed admitted to Conan O'Brien on his "Needs a Friend" podcast that he isn't much of a smoker, but still lit up at the chance to say he "smoked with Snoop" when The Doggfather hit him with the puff, puff, pass.

The conversation got so good Ed says he continued to take pulls of the blunt until he looked up at Snoop and realized his vision had become blurred.

Of course, it's a well-known fact Snoop can smoke like a chimney at any given time ... so you can't really blame Ed for trying to keep up.

Shockingly though, Ed says Burna Boy is actually the biggest smoker he's encountered to date.

Los ligeros pulmones de Ed Sheeran no pudieron competir con los de Snoop Dogg cuando fumaron juntos recientemente... De hecho, el cantante dice que se drogó tanto mientras pasaban tiempo juntos, que se quedó temporalmente ciego.

Ed dice que todo ocurrió a principios de este mes cuando se encontró con Snoop, su esposa y Russell Crowe en el backstage de Melbourne, Australia.

Un encuentro improbable

Ed admitió a Conan O'Brien en su podcast "Needs a Friend" que no es un gran fumador, pero aun así encendió un cigarrillo para decir que había "fumado con Snoop".

La conversación se puso tan buena que Ed dice que siguió dando caladas al porro hasta que miró a Snoop y se dio cuenta de que se le había nublado la vista.

Por supuesto, es un hecho bien conocido que Snoop puede fumar como una chimenea, por lo que realmente no se puede culpar a Ed por tratar de seguirle el ritmo.

Aunque, sorprendentemente, Ed dice que Burna Boy es en realidad el mayor fumador que ha conocido hasta la fecha.

Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' Film Stretching With Blue Ivy, Taking Some Shots

Published | Updated

Beyoncé is full of inspiration, which she displayed in dramatic fashion in the trailer for her upcoming film documenting her "Renaissance" tour.

Bey's film, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," chronicles lots of behind-the-scenes action, and it shows the singer in some chill, fun, backstage moments.

Throughout the trailer, you see her getting some stretching in backstage with her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, while the little twins -- Rumi and Sir -- hung out with them.

Looks like Beyoncé was having a blast -- toasting the camera while knocking back a shot. Worth noting the rumors "Renaissance" was a booze-free tour, so it might not have been alcohol in that glass.

There's so much fans have to look forward to when the film comes out December 1st -- it's got everything from a beaming Jay-Z, crowds going nuts, and the Queen herself breaking down what this tour has meant to her.

As we reported, AMC will be taking the reigns for Bey's movie, playing in all of North America next month ... and this follows Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour flick spreading to a worldwide debut after tons of demand.

Taylor's film is also a partnership with AMC, so there's for sure a theme going on at that movie chain ... and obviously, a smart one.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

LA PELÍCULA "RENAISSANCE" DE BEYONCÉ TOMANDOSE ALGUNAS FOTOS

Published | Updated

Beyoncé está llena de inspiración y lo demuestra de forma espectacular en el tráiler de su próxima película que documenta su gira "Renaissance".

La película de Bey, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé", muestra lo que ocurre entre bastidores y muestra a la cantante en algunos momentos de relajo y bastante divertidos al parecer.

A lo largo del tráiler se la ve haciendo algunos estiramientos entre bastidores con su hija de 11 años, Blue Ivy, mientras los pequeños gemelos —Rumi y Sir— pasan el rato con ellos.

Parece que Beyoncé se lo estaba pasando en grande, brindando en cámara mientras se tomaba algo. Vale la pena señalar los rumores sobre que "Renaissance" fue una gira sin alcohol, por lo que podría no haber sido el alcohol en ese vaso.

Los fans tienen muchas cosas interesantes que ver cuando la película se estrene el 1 de diciembre: desde un Jay-Z radiante, multitudes enloquecidas y la propia Reina explicando lo que esta gira ha significado para ella. Como ya informamos, AMC tomará las riendas de la película de Bey, que se estrenará en toda Norteamérica el mes que viene y esto sigue a la película de la gira "Eras" de Taylor Swift, que se estrena en todo el mundo tras una gran demanda.

La película de Taylor es también una asociación con AMC, por lo que es seguro que hay más ideas en marcha en esa cadena de cine y, obviamente, unas muy inteligentes.

Matt Riddle Ex-WWE Superstar Appeared To Be Drunk At Airport

Published | Updated
Matt Riddle 09/29/23
AIRPORT MENACE

Ex-WWE Superstar Matt Riddle seemingly had a few too many drinks during a plane delay earlier this month ... grabbing a microphone and shouting at fellow passengers -- and TMZ Sports has the video.

The incident went down at JFK Airport on September 9 ... the same day the two-time Raw Tag Team Champion accused a Port Authority police officer of sexual assault, which led to an investigation.

Our video shows what went down prior to the allegations.

A witness tells us their flight to Orlando was postponed multiple times, so Riddle and his friend waited it out by enjoying drinks at a nearby restaurant.

The witness says Riddle was becoming "incredibly obnoxious" throughout the delay ... being "extremely loud and rude."

Once it was almost time to board, the witness noticed Riddle walking around, yelling and asking when the plane would take off -- before going up to the gate's front desk and grabbing the mic.

In the video, Riddle -- who's holding a drink -- is heard asking fellow passengers if they're capable of flying the plane. It's all in a playful manner, but staffers were quick to put an end to it.

The passengers eventually got on the plane ... except Riddle, who was denied entry due to his state.

Our witness tells us he grew upset, asking "So are you telling me I'm not going home today?"

As we previously reported, cops responded to a "disorderly person" -- AKA Riddle -- but when they met with him at the terminal, he apologized for his behavior. Cops did not file a police report ... and Riddle was free to go.

Of course, Riddle then went to Instagram to accuse an officer of sexual assault and harassment ... but the post was later deleted. The investigation into his claims remains ongoing.

Riddle -- who has faced multiple issues outside the ring during his career -- announced his departure from WWE on September 22.
