North West ¡¡Muestra los nuevos brillantes de sus dientes!!

Published | Updated

La hija de Kim Kardashian, North West, tiene nuevos diamantes en sus dientes, tal vez inspirada en el nuevo trabajo dental de su padre, y los está mostrando en TikTok.

La chica de 10 años compartió las selfies el miércoles en la cuenta conjunta que tiene con su mamá y que Kim subtituló con el comentario: "Las cosas que hace mi hija en mi teléfono, jaja".

North aparece separando sus labios para mostrar más de cerca su deslumbrante nueva joyería dental, apenas unas semanas después de que mostrara otra tanda de dientes parecidos en un video cerca de Navidad.

La foto fue acompañada junto a otras imágenes que muestran una pincelada de su vida con sus amigos y primos: una cena Hibachi, viajes a Disneyland y Universal Studios, su práctica de baloncesto, además de una selfie con Kim.

Los gustos de North no son tan diferentes de los de sus padres Kim y Kanye West. Una fuente le dice a TMZ que Ye también se realizó implantes permanentes en sus dientes por $850K con el Dr. Thomas Connelly, el dentista detrás de las transformaciones en las sonrisas de Post Malone, Lil Yachty y Odell Beckham.

Nos dicen que definitivamente NO se quitó todos los dientes para reemplazarlos con las dentaduras de titanio de $850K, como algunos informes han afirmado.

Kim también ha mostrado su propia colección de implantes dentales en las redes sociales a lo largo de los años, sobre todo como parte de su campaña de 2021 KKW Beauty.

Mientras tanto, la celebrity ha estado ocupada en TikTok, compartiendo con los fans un recorrido por su oficina SKKN, repleta de portadas de revistas en sus paredes y maniquíes.

¡También revela que toda su oficina está personalizada Rick Owens, lo que es presumir demasiado!

NORTH WEST ROCKS BLINGIN' NEW GRILL!!!

Published

Kim Kardashian's daughter North West has a new diamond grill -- perhaps inspired by Dad's new dental work -- and she's showing it off on TikTok.

The 10-year-old's blingin' selfie was uploaded Wednesday to her joint account, which she shares with her mom ... and Kim captioned the sparkling reveal with, "The things my daughter makes on my phone, haha."

North pulls her lips apart to give an up-close look at her dazzling new dental jewelry ... just weeks after she showed off another grill from a vid around Christmas time.

The snap was nestled among a montage of images offering a further glimpse of her life with her pals and cousins -- a Hibachi dinner, trips to Disneyland and Universal Studios and basketball practice ... plus, a Kim selfie thrown in for good measure.

The North apple isn't falling far from Kim and Kanye West's trees ... a source tells TMZ Ye is also rocking a cool new $850K permanent grill by Dr. Thomas Connelly, the dentist behind Post Malone, Lil Yachty and Odell Beckham's smile transformations.

We're told he definitely did NOT remove all his teeth to replace them with the $850K titanium dentures ... as some reports have claimed.

Kim's also shown off her own collection of grills on social media over the years -- most notably as part of her 2021 KKW Beauty campaign.

Meanwhile, Kim's also been busy on TikTok ... giving fans a tour of her SKKN office, complete with magazine covers adorning the wall and mannequins

She reveals her entire office is custom Rick Owens ... which is a major flex!

Detienen a Arnold Schwarzenegger en Múnich

Published

Arnold Schwarzenegger es conocido por sus queridos personajes... pero un reloj le causó problemas en un aeropuerto el miércoles y derivó en malos entendidos.

El actor convertido en político fue detenido en el aeropuerto de Munich el miércoles por portar un reloj de lujo "no registrado". El querido actor no puso resistencia y se mostró amable al intentar resolver el asunto.

Fuentes directas dicen que Arnold fue detenido durante tres horas por viajar con un reloj que podría subastar mañana en Austria.

Dicen que a Arnold nunca le pidieron que llenara un formulario de declaración, pero una vez que llegó a la aduana lo abordaron para hacer ciertas preguntas.

El ex campeón de culturismo no hizo un escándalo, estuvo de acuerdo en pagar por adelantado los impuestos potenciales del reloj  —un reloj que ya posee— con el fin de seguir adelante con su día.

Las autoridades trataron de Arnold pagara con tarjeta de crédito, pero el fracaso tras fracaso obligó a los agentes de aduanas para llevar Schwarzenegger a un banco para que pudiera retirar dinero de un cajero automático.

Eso debería haber sido el final de la historia... ¡Excepto que el cajero automático tenía un límite demasiado bajo! Los impuestos terminaron costando $10.613 y el banco estaba cerrado también. El grupo regresó al aeropuerto y otro agente trajo un nuevo cajero automático que funcionaba.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que el reloj todavía es probable que sea subastado mañana para la Iniciativa Climática Schwarzenegger, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a apoyar los esfuerzos de energía limpia en todo el mundo.

Un portavoz de la Oficina Principal de Aduanas de Munich dice que es simple, diciendole a un medio de comunicación local alemán que han iniciado procedimientos penales porque el reloj es una importación que debe permanecer en UE y que tiene que ser declarado.

En cuanto a por qué tardaron tanto, el portavoz explicó que había que revisar el resto del equipaje de Arnie... y eso lleva su tiempo.

Un día agotador en el aeropuerto para Arnold... ¡Casi tanto como cuando intentó conseguir un Turbo Man el día de navidad!

Arnold Schwarzenegger Detained in Munich for 'Unregistered' Watch Hauled Off to ATM to Pay Taxes

Published | Updated

Arnold Schwarzenegger's known for his gun-toting characters ... but it was actually a benign watch that caused him problems at an airport Wednesday -- and the aftermath was a freaking mess.

The actor-turned-politician was held at the Munich Airport on Wednesday after trying to take an "unregistered" luxury watch through customs ... the Terminator didn't try to fight his way out of this one ... instead being spotted calmly hanging with customs agents.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... customs detained AS for three hours for traveling with a watch he owns -- one he might auction tomorrow in Austria.

They say Arnold was never asked to fill out a declaration form, but once he got to customs he was hit with what they describe as an "incompetent shakedown."

But, the former bodybuilding champ didn't make a fuss ... agreeing to prepay potential taxes on the watch -- again, a watch he already owns -- in order to get on with his day.

Authorities tried to have Arnold use a credit card machine for an hour ... but failure after failure forced the customs agents to take Schwarzenegger to a bank so he could withdraw cash from an ATM.

That should've been the end of the story ... except the ATM had too low a limit -- the taxes ended up costing AS $10,613 -- and the bank was closed too! The group headed back to the airport, and another officer brought a new, working credit card machine.

Our sources say the watch will still likely be auctioned off tomorrow for the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative -- a nonprofit dedicated to supporting clean energy efforts worldwide.

A spokesperson for the Munich Main Customs Office says it's simple, telling a local German outlet they've initiated criminal proceedings because the watch is an import staying in the EU -- it has to be declared.

As for why it took so long, the spokesperson explained the rest of Arnie's luggage had to be checked ... and that takes time.

An exhausting day at the airport for Arnold ... filled with more stress than trying to get a Turbo Man action figure!

Rick Ross Big Bank Always Takes Lil Bank ... And Smacks Em in Face!!!

Published | Updated

Rick Ross' bankroll reigns supreme ... just ask the club joker who thought it was a good idea to throw a fistful of money in the Bawse's face.

The superstar rapper recently took the stage for an appearance at E11EVEN Miami nightclub, and an overeager fan dared to deck him in the face with several bills.

A cool, calm and collected Rozay paused during his Friday night performance ... before whacking the guy with a money stack 3x the size of what he'd foolishly hurled at Rick.

The best part might be the sight of Rick walking off with a million-dollar grin.

The fan was a good sport about it -- not like he had any choice, he started it and RR finished it.

Mark Spratley, Jacob Kohn and Doctor Garmentz -- the guys responsible for making the clips go viral -- tell TMZ Hip Hop there was no drama in the club afterward, and Rozay composed himself like a boss should.

Why make it rain when you can make it hurricane?!? 💸

Tom Holland Denies Zendaya Breakup Rumors As She's Out With Brother

Published | Updated
011224_tom_holland-kal 01/12/24
"absolutely not"

Tom Holland is speaking up about all the speculation he and Zendaya are dunzo, and he's saying it simply isn't true ... issuing an outright denial to the notion they've split.

The 'Spider-Man' star was out and about Friday in L.A., walking through an alley with a pal as they made their way to Tom's parked car ... and a photog was waiting to chat him up about all the breakup buzz..

Dude tried congratulating TH on a new 'Back to the Future' gig -- which isn't real, BTW -- but then finally asked the obvious question ... are y'all broken up or not? Tom says "No, absolutely not." He doesn't elaborate further, but that's about as clear as he can be on this issue.

Of course, this all comes on the heels of what a lot of people took as red flags in the past couple weeks -- including Zendaya unfollowing everyone (Tom as well) ... not to mention the fact Tom and Zendaya haven't been photographed together in public in literally months.

Meanwhile, Zendaya herself was also out and about Friday -- we got video of her cruising around Culver City with her brother, Austin.

Unclear if they ended up buying anything, but as you can see ... they were pretty chipper on the way out as they headed back to their car, with Zen once again in the driver's seat.

Remember, Zendaya and Austin were photographed Wednesday as well -- driving around town and doing their own things ... solo. It is allowed when you're dating, but for what it's worth she was driving with her brother, and Tom was mobbin' around WeHo that night.

Fast-forward a few days, and they're still not together, but now ... Tom's saying they continue to be a couple.

Frankly, there's no smoking gun on them splitting up, anyway -- in fact, we'd been told by people with direct knowledge the duo spent NYE together. The fact they haven't been hanging out together in public these past couple weeks doesn't necessarily mean they're done.

010824_ufo_promo_kal
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

It just means they've got individual lives -- plus, Zendaya and Tom are notoriously private as it is ... so this might just be par for the course.

Anyway, fans of Zom (or Tondaya, as we're dubbing them) gotta be happy to hear this. Your fave Gen-Z couple's going strong, according to Tom.

Tom Holland Niega los rumores de ruptura con Zendaya Mientras ella sale con su hermano...

"Definitivamente no"

Tom Holland está hablando sobre los rumores de que él y Zendaya han terminado, y está diciendo que simplemente no es cierto y negando rotundamente de que hayan roto.

La estrella de "Spider-Man" andaba paseando por Los Ángeles el viernes, caminando por un callejón con un amigo mientras se dirigían al carro aparcado de Tom y un fotógrafo estaba esperando para hablar con él sobre todas estas especulaciones.

El tipo trató de felicitar a Tom por su nueva actuación en "Regreso al Futuro", -que no es real, por cierto- pero al final le hizo la pregunta obvia, ¿terminaron o no? Tom dice: "No, en absoluto". No da más detalles, pero es lo más claro que se puede ser en este tema.

Por supuesto, todo esto viene después de que mucha gente advirtiera malas señales en las últimas semanas, incluyendo el hecho de que Zendaya dejó de seguir a todo el mundo, incluyendo a Tom. Eso, por no mencionar que Tom y Zendaya no han sido fotografiados juntos en público en literalmente meses.

Paseo de hermanos

Mientras tanto, la propia Zendaya también andaba fuera el viernes. Tenemos un video de ella paseando por Culver City con su hermano, Austin.

No está claro si terminaron comprando algo, pero como se puede ver, estaban bastante contentos de regreso a su carro, con Zen, una vez más en el asiento del conductor.

Recordemos que Zendaya y Austin fueron fotografiados el miércoles también, conduciendo por la ciudad y haciendo sus propias cosas en solitario. Se permite cuando estás saliendo con alguien, pero si vemos lo que realmente importa, ella estaba conduciendo con su hermano y Tom estaba cerca de West Hollywood esa noche.

Avancemos algunos días y ellos todavía no están juntos, pero ahora ... Tom está diciendo que siguen siendo una pareja.

Francamente, no hay ningún indicio de que han terminado, de hecho, personas con conocimiento directo nos han dicho que el dúo pasó la noche de fin de año juntos. El hecho de que no hayan sido vistos en público no significa necesariamente que rompieron.

Solo significa que tienen vidas individuales. Además, Zendaya y Tom son notoriamente privados, por lo que esto podría ser solo lo normal.

De todos modos, los fans de Zom (o Tondaya, como los estamos apodando) tienen que estar felices de escuchar esto. Su pareja favorita de la Gen Z sigue viento en popa, según Tom.

Detienen al redactor de "El deber del jurado" poner en peligro a menores

Published

Un editor de Hollywood está recibiendo malas noticias profesionalmente, debido a su reciente detención por poner en peligro a unos niños. A pesar de la especulación que va a seguir trabajando en un gran espectáculo de Amazon Prime... TMZ puede confirmar que está fuera.

Christopher Charkowski —de 39 años— fue detenido en el condado de Los Ángeles la semana pasada por un cargo de delito grave de crueldad intencional a un niño causando posibles lesiones o la muerte, y un video está circulando en línea que supuestamente lo muestra abusando del niño dentro de una casa.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que este video de vigilancia que ha estado haciendo rondando por las redes sociales, se le ha presentado a las autoridades como parte de su investigación del caso. Los registros judiciales indican que el presunto delito se cometió en junio de 2022.

El caso fue archivado en noviembre, pero Charkowski no fue detenido y fichado por la policía hasta el 4 de enero. Lo que se muestra en este video es inquietante, por decir lo menos, y podría ser una pieza clave de las pruebas a medida que avanza este caso.

En el video se ve a un hombre perdiendo la cabeza y yendo a por lo que parece ser un niño pequeño. Se le ve poner las manos encima del niño, estrangularlo y posiblemente incluso darle algún puñetazo.

No está claro cuál es la relación entre el adulto y el niño, pero los oficiales tienen motivos suficientes para creer que es Charkowski quien aparece en el video.

Por cierto, ha sido puesto en libertad bajo fianza y las fechas para la corte están programadas.

Ahora, en cuanto a quién es Charkowski en el mundo del espectáculo, ha trabajado en post-producción para un montón de grandes programas de televisión. Más recientemente, editó el video de "Jury Duty", que dio de que hablar de la ciudad el año pasado, e incluso fue nominado en los Globos de Oro del pasado fin de semana.

Charkowski aparece como parte del departamento editorial de esa serie, y luego de que este video saliera a la luz, la gente ha estado clamando para que Amazon lo deje caer lo antes posible. Una fuente directa le dice a TMZ que Charkowski ya no está afiliado con el estudio.

Nos dicen que su papel en "Jury Duty" —que se extendió por 8 episodios— vino y se fue una vez que terminó la producción hace casi un año. Nuestras fuentes dicen que era un contratista externo al show, no un empleado permanente de Amazon/Freevee.

Desde entonces, nuestras fuentes dicen que no ha sido empleado de Amazon en absoluto y es seguro decir que no va a volver.

Otro espectáculo en el que ha trabajado durante mucho tiempo es Bravo "Below Deck Mediterranean", pero una fuente señala que no ha estado con ellos desde hace unos dos años.

Nos pusimos en contacto con Chris, pero no obtuvimos ningún comentario.

'Jury Duty' Editor Arrested for Child Endangerment ... No Longer Tied to Amazon

Published | Updated

A prominent Hollywood editor is getting the cold shoulder, professionally, due to his recent arrest for child endangerment -- and despite speculation he'll continue working on a big-time Amazon Prime show ... TMZ can confirm he's out.

Thirty-nine-year-old Christopher Charkowski was arrested in L.A. County last week on a felony charge of willful cruelty to a child causing possible possible injury or death -- and a video is circulating online allegedly showing him brutalizing a kid inside of a house.

Law enforcement sources tell us this clip -- home surveillance footage that's been making the rounds on social media -- has been submitted to authorities as part of their investigation of the case. Court records list the date of the alleged offense as June 2022.

The case was filed back in November, but Charkowski wasn't hauled in and booked by law enforcement until Jan. 4. What's depicted in this video is disturbing, to say the least, and could be a key piece of evidence as this case proceeds.

In the clip, you see a man losing his mind and going after what appears to be a little boy. You can see him putting his hands on the kid, throttling him and possibly even throwing some punches.

It's unclear what the relation might be between the adult and child here, but on its face, it appears law enforcement had enough reason to believe it's Charkowski in the video.

BTW, he's been released on bail -- and future court dates are scheduled.

Now, as far as who Charkowski is in showbiz ... he's worked in post-production for a lot of big TV shows. Most recently, he edited video for "Jury Duty," which was the talk of the town last year, and was even nominated at last weekend's Golden Globes.

Charkowski is listed as part of the editorial department for that series -- and after this video got out, people have been clamoring for Amazon to drop him ASAP. Welp, a source with direct knowledge tells TMZ that Charkowski is no longer affiliated with the studio.

We're told his role on "Jury Duty" -- which spanned 8 episodes -- came and went once they wrapped production nearly a year ago, and our sources say he was an outside contractor on the show, not a permanent employee of Amazon/Freevee.

Since then, our sources say he hasn't been employed at Amazon whatsoever -- and safe to say ... he won't be back.

Another show he's worked on for a long time is Bravo's "Below Deck Mediterranean," but a production source points out to TMZ .... he hasn't been with them for about 2 years now.

We reached out to Chris ... he had no comment.

Farrah Abraham Sues Club Security Guard for Assault After Different Guard Sued Her Over 2022 Clash

Published | Updated

UPDATE

7:47 PM PT -- Not shockingly, Farrah Abraham has a much different memory of what happened at the restaurant/club, and, in fact, she's filed her own lawsuit over the 2022 incident.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah's suing because a security guard named George Velazquez allegedly "flung her down to the ground like a ragdoll." We can't confirm Velazquez is the guy seen pinning her down in the video from that night ... but, in the suit, she does say it was captured on camera.

She also claims he held her down with his knee and repeatedly said, "You are going to jail" -- a description that matches up with the video.

Farrah is suing Velazquez and the venue, Grandmaster Recorders, for assault, battery and emotional distress.

Farrah Abraham is being taken to court by a security guard who claims she slapped her back in 2022.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah is being sued by a female security guard -- claiming she suffered lost wages and incurred a bunch of medical expenses for what she says went down 2 years ago.

She says she was working at Grandmaster Recorders when she was advised by other security officers of a fight on the roof, and was working on escorting Farrah off the property "due to her assaultive behavior with other customers."

The docs say it was during the escort that things turned physical -- with Farrah allegedly striking the security guard on the side of the face, which she says left her with an eye injury, other facial injuries, and psychological trauma.

As we reported, Farrah was accused of acting belligerently at the venue and was asked to leave, but refused. We were told paramedics on the scene called cops for backup, and a citizen's arrest for battery was ultimately made.

Lauren Boebert Allegedly Punches Ex-Hubby in the Nose ... Twice! Police Investigating

Published | Updated

Update

10:55 AM PT -- Boebert tells TMZ ... "This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason I’m moving. I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested. I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options."

9:53 AM PT -- Congresswoman Boebert’s office tells TMZ they are looking into the matter.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert may have run afoul of the law ... for allegedly beating on her ex-husband.

Silt Police Lt. Matt Gronbeck tells TMZ ... cops were called Saturday night to Miner's Claim, a restaurant in Silt, Colorado.

Officers say the initial 911 call was a hangup, but wouldn't reveal any other info on their investigation ... including what charges Lauren or Jayson Boebert might face.

However, eyewitnesses at the scene tell TMZ ... Lauren was sitting in the restaurant when Jayson walked in, and the pair got into an argument before the congresswoman punched him in the nose twice.

Lauren, not Jayson, then called the police .... and Jayson was ordered to leave.

Jayson seems contrite telling TMZ ... "I made a mistake. We both overreacted. I only want what's best for boys and I still love her very much. I only want the best for her."

He continued, "I really don't know what to say it's sad what has happened to us. I forgive her. I know she has a lot of hurt and pain. We both do.”

Their relationship clearly isn't as amicable as they wanted people to believe. As we previously reported ... Jayson tried to take the fall for Lauren's theater hookup in the aftermath of the 'Beetlejuice' scandal.

Jayson said the marriage ended when he cheated and asked people to show the controversial conservative "grace and mercy."

It'll be interesting to see how much grace Jayson shows her after this explosive incident

BRITNEY SPEARS NO ALBUM IN THE WORKS ... Music's Not On Her Mind

Published | Updated

From the aftermath of her divorce to pining for her sons, Britney Spears has a lot of things on her mind right now ... but her music career ain't one of 'em.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ recent reports of Britney being in the early stages of her 10th studio album are not true ... and there's absolutely nothing music-related in the works for the star right now.

We're also told Charli XCX and Julia Michaels' camps aren't communicating with Britney's team ... despite outlets claiming they'd been tapped to pen tracks for the "Womanizer" hitmaker.

A musical comeback may not be her priority right now ... but our sources tell us she may change her tune in the future.

Britney's music took a major back seat over the last few years ... as she famously tried to break free from the shackles of her conservatorship

Her efforts paid off ... but came at the expense of her relationship with her dad, Jamie Spears -- although it looks like she's been extending an olive branch to him lately ... especially after news of his leg amputation.

Nonetheless, with 8 years since Britney's last album, "Glory," a new album would be a real treat for fans ... when, or if, she decides to get serious about music again.

Roberto Clemente Game-Used Bat Set To Hit Auction ... Could Fetch $250K!!!

Published | Updated

If you're a baseball fan with a quarter of a million dollars lyin' around -- you're in luck ... 'cause an ultra-rare bat that Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente once used and signed is about to go on sale!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the Hillerich & Bradsby signature model U1 bat that Clemente swung during the 1971 season is hitting Heritage Auctions in February -- and it's awesome.

The 36-inch, 35.5-ounce relic has been photo-matched ... and it's also been autographed by Clemente himself.

The inscription -- which Clemente made out to famed memorabilia collector Carey Diab -- reads, "To my friend Carey, Best Wishes Always, Roberto Clemente." It also has the No. 21 written on the knob.

Experts at Heritage Auctions expect it to go for $250K when it ultimately sells ... explaining, "It is one of a tiny handful of known photo-matched Clemente gamers."

Clemente was the first Caribbean and Latin-American MLB player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame after playing 18 seasons in the pros. In his career, he logged 3,000 hits and 240 home runs.

He also won two World Series with the Pittsburgh Pirates and became a 15-time All-Star, a four-time NL batting champ, and an NL MVP. Clemente also won 12 Gold Gloves.

Tragically, Clemente was killed in a plane crash that was en route to deliver emergency aid to Nicaragua earthquake victims in 1972. He was only 38.
