Bam Margera got some fresh, new ink while on the road to recovery, and this piece pays homage to Britney Spears ... someone with whom he says he has alarming similarities.

The former "Jackass" star hit up First Hand Tattoo in Pennsylvania and got the Brit-inspired tattoo, which reads, "Britney Spears ❤️ Oops they did it to me too!"

He says the meaning behind it is all about the "Florida shuffle" -- a phrase used to describe substance abusers with good health insurance in the Sunshine State. They're constantly sent to various rehab centers which repeatedly charge their insurance.

Bam says that describes him to a T, and points to Britney's time in her conservatorship as being painfully similar to what's been going down with him -- he's dragging his interventionalist for allegedly cashing in by keeping Bam in rehab.

Bam says he's done "the Guinness book of world records of longest Florida shuffle of nearly 2 years" ... which includes 10 back-to-back rehab stays that cost a total of $660,000.00.

He adds he's sick of the "controlling c***suckers that act like they care for your well-being when it's all about money."

BTW, this isn't the first time he's compared himself to Britney -- he called himself "the Britney Spears of 'Jackass'" while working on standup material with Steve-O earlier this year.

As we reported, Bam recently celebrated being 1 month sober after going in and out of rehab this year, and sources told us he's been spending his time with his girlfriend, Dannii, on a farm outside Philadelphia.

Bam Margera se hizo un nuevo tatuaje mientras se recuperaba, rindiendo homenaje a Britney Spears, alguien con quien afirma que comparte algunas alarmantes similitudes.

La ex estrella de "Jackass" fue a First Hand Tattoo en Pennsylvania y se hizo un tatuaje inspirado en Brit que dice: "Britney Spears ❤️ ¡Uy, me lo hicieron a mí también!"

Dice que el significado detrás de todo esto es el "Florida shuffle", un término que se utiliza para describir a los adictos a sustancias que tienen un buen seguro de salud en el estado. Estos son enviados constantemente a diversos centros de rehabilitación que cobran repetidamente su seguro.

Bam dice que eso lo describe perfectamente y señala que el tiempo que pasó Britney bajo tutela es dolorosamente parecido a lo que ha estado viviendo. Él está acusando a su intervencionista de supuestamente sacar provecho al mantenerlo en rehabilitación.

Bam dice que ha hecho "el libro Guinness de los récords mundiales por la más larga lista de internaciones en Florida en casi dos años", que incluyen diez estancias de rehabilitación consecutivas que costaron un total de 660.000 dólares.

Añade que está harto de los "hijos de puta controladores que actúan como si se preocuparan por su bienestar cuando todo es cuestión de dinero".

Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que Bam se compara con Britney. Se llamó a sí mismo "la Britney Spears de 'Jackass'", mientras trabajaba en material de standup con Steve-O a principios de este año.

Como informamos, Bam celebró recientemente estar 1 mes sobrio después de entrar y salir de rehabilitación este año, y fuentes nos dijeron que ha estado pasando su tiempo con su novia (Dannii) en una granja en las afueras de Filadelfia.

4:45 PM PT -- Bill Cosby's rep, Andrew Wyatt, tells TMZ … “No comment at this present time because this is utterly ridiculous and pointless.”

Bill Cosby is being sued by one of his accusers for an alleged sexual assault ... one she claims happened over 50 years ago.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Cosby accuser Donna Motsinger claims he took advantage of her way back in 1972, when she was working as a server at the famous Trident restaurant in Sausalito, CA.

Motsinger says she met Cosby at the bayside restaurant, then a celeb hangout, claiming he came by constantly just to see her, ultimately inviting her to accompany him to his show at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos.

In the docs, Motsinger says Cosby picked her up in a limo and gave her a glass of wine on the drive over. She claims he took her to the dressing room, where she began to feel sick and says Cosby gave her what she believed was an aspirin.

Motsinger says she took the pill and started falling in and out of consciousness. She claims Cosby's handlers but her back in the limo with him and the last thing she remembers was flashes of light.

In her suit, Motsinger claims she woke up in her house wearing only her panties and says she "knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby."

Motsinger says she's suffered mental, physical and emotional distress ... and she's going after Cosby for money.

She previously came forward in 2014 with similar accusations against Cosby ... and now she's followed up with a lawsuit.

We reached out to Cosby's camp ... so far no word back.

4:45 PM PT -- El representante de Cosby Andrew Wyatt dice a TMZ: "Sin comentarios en este momento porque esto es totalmente ridículo y sin sentido".

Bill Cosby está siendo demandado por una de sus acusadoras por un presunto asalto sexual, uno que ella afirma que ocurrió hace más de 50 años.

Según una nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, la denunciante de Cosby, Donna Motsinger, afirma que él se aprovechó de ella en 1972, cuando trabajaba como camarera en el famoso restaurante Trident en Sausalito, California.

Motsinger dice que conoció a Cosby en el restaurante junto a la bahía, en ese entonces, un lugar de reunión de celebridades, afirmando que iba constantemente a verla, y que al final la invitó a acompañarlo en su show en el Circle Star Theater en San Carlos.

En los documentos, Motsinger afirma que Cosby la recogió en una limusina y le dio una copa de vino durante el trayecto. Ella afirma que la llevó al camerino, donde comenzó a sentirse mal y que luego Cosby le dio lo que ella creía que era una aspirina.

Motsinger dice que tomó la píldora y empezó a perder el conocimiento. Ella afirma que la llevaron nuevamente a la limusina con él y lo último que recuerda fueron destellos de luz.

En su demanda, Motsinger afirma que se despertó en su casa vistiendo solo sus bragas y dice que "sabía que había sido drogada y violada por Bill Cosby."

Motsinger dice que ha sufrido angustia mental, física y emocional, y que va en busca de compensaciones económicas de Cosby.

En 2014, habló de acusaciones similares. Ahora ha procedido con una demanda.

Usher's upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show definitely has people feeling nostalgic already -- 'cause his music has been played like crazy in the days since the news broke.

The numbers are pretty staggering ... Billboard tells us Usher's tunes (new and old) have seen a significant spike across all streaming services since the announcement was made Sunday, and the increased plays are tipping into the millions.

Percentage-wise, we're told that boils down to about a 16% bump for Usher between Sunday and Monday ... with his most-streamed song being his new single, "Good Good," which is already on the Hot 100.

Billboard says "Good Good" was streamed 1.1 million times in this window, about a 5% gain. His classics like "Yeah!," "My Boo" and "DJ Got Us Fallin in Love" saw bumps as well -- amounting to an added 962k streams, 527k streams, and 525k streams, respectively.

When it comes to the individual streaming services, the increase is clear in their data too. Tidal, for example, tells us Usher's "Superstar" was the most popular song on their platform on the day of the announcement. They also say "You Make Me Wanna..." saw the biggest jump in streaming percentage from the day prior at 55%.

Another music streaming company that felt the Usher effect was Amazon ... they tell us "Yeah!" climbed a whopping 140% in plays compared to the day before the announcement. As a result, we're told it jumped 149 spots in their internal popular song rankings list.

Usher será el próximo espectáculo del medio tiempo del Super Bowl. Al parecer tiene a la gente nostálgica en llamas ya que su música se ha reproducido muchísimo desde que se hizo el anuncio.

Los números son bastante asombrosos. Billboard nos informó que las canciones de Usher (nuevas y viejas) han visto un aumento significativo desde que el anuncio se hizo el domingo. Todo su catálogo ha estado recibiendo muchas más reproducciones de lo habitual en todos los servicios de streaming, llegando a los millones.

Porcentualmente, nos dicen que se reduce a alrededor de un 16% de aumento para Usher entre el domingo y el lunes, siendo su canción más reproducida su nuevo single, "Good Good", que ya está en la lista Hot 100.

Según Billboard, "Good Good" fue reproducida 1.1 millones de veces más, lo que supone un aumento del 5%. Sus clásicos "Yeah!", "My Boo" y "DJ Got Us Fallin in Love" también experimentaron subidas, con 962.000, 527.000 y 525.000 transmisiones más, respectivamente.

En lo que respecta a los servicios de streaming, un par de ellos también reflejan estas cifras en sus propios datos. Tidal, por ejemplo, nos dice que "Superstar" de Usher fue la canción más popular en su plataforma el día del anuncio. También dicen que "You Make Me Wanna..." vio el mayor salto en el porcentaje de streaming desde el día anterior, siendo un 55%.

Otra empresa de streaming musical que sintió el efecto Usher fue Amazon. Nos dicen que "Yeah!" subió un 140% en reproducciones en comparación con el día anterior al anuncio. Como resultado, nos dicen que subió 149 puestos en su lista interna de canciones populares.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están a punto de vivir bajo el mismo techo de nuevo. Todo esto porque ella va camino de regreso a Georgia luego de algunos nuevos acontecimientos desagradables relacionados a su divorcio.

Fuentes directas nos comentaron que Kim estuvo volando de regreso a Atlanta el miércoles después de filmar para MTV "The Surreal Life" en Colombia durante las últimas semanas. Nos dicen que está en el aire ahora y que en cuestión de horas, va a estar de vuelta en casa con Kroy y sus hijos.

A pesar de esta situación tumultuosa, nuestras fuentes nos informan que el plan (por ahora), es que Kim y Kroy sigan cohabitando, ya que ninguno de ellos realmente tiene otro lugar donde ir por el momento. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta todo lo que ha pasado últimamente en su divorcio, podemos imaginar que el escenario está preparado para la acción.

Recordemos que Kroy ha reconocido abiertamente que están en apuros económicos.

Como hemos informado, Kroy ha estado apelando constantemente a un juez últimamente, pidiendo permiso para vender su mansión para que puedan empezar a pagar algunas deudas importantes. También ha argumentado que el dinero les ayudará a conseguir su propio camino y resolver el ambiente tóxico.

También nos dicen que Kim y Kroy podrían estar teniendo relaciones de nuevo, al menos eso es lo que creen las personas cercanas. Puede ser que la pasión todavía esté en el aire.

Kim insiste en que todo está bien entre ella y Kroy. Incluso pidió que su divorcio fuera desestimado, señalando que habían tenido relaciones sexuales recientemente y argumentando que eso demuestra que su relación sigue en pie. Kroy lo ha dejado de lado y planea seguir adelante.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are about to get under each other's skin under the same roof all over again -- 'cause she's on her way back to Georgia -- after some nasty new developments in their divorce.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kim is flying back to Atlanta Wednesday after filming for MTV's "The Surreal Life" in Colombia over the past couple weeks. We're told she's in the air now, and, within hours, is set to be back home with Kroy and their kids.

Despite this tumultuous sitch, our sources say that the plan -- for now, anyway -- is for Kim and Kroy to continue cohabiting ... as neither one of them really has anywhere else to go at this point. However, considering everything that's gone on of late in their divorce case ... you can imagine the stage is set for fireworks.

Remember, Kroy has openly acknowledged they're in dire straits financially.

As we've reported .... Kroy has been consistently appealing to a judge lately, begging for permission to sell their mansion so they can start paying off some major debts. He's also argued that the money will help them get their own pad ... and resolve a toxic environment.

We're also told that Kim and Kroy could very well bang again ... at least that's how people close to them feel. Of course, whether they actually do it again is still up in the air.

Kim, for her part, has been insisting everything's fine between her and Kroy -- she even asked for their divorce to be dismissed, noting they'd had sex recently ... and arguing that it proves their relationship is still on. Kroy's brushed that aside and plans to move forward.

Ex-New England Patriots star Dion Lewis has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charge he was hit with following his arrest last week, TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court records, Lewis' attorney submitted the plea for the former running back in his Hillsborough County, Fla. court case on Tuesday.

Lewis is now due back in court next month.

We broke the story ... Lewis was arrested on Sept. 18 after authorities alleged he had been unruly and belligerent at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. They claimed the 33-year-old caused a disturbance -- and then refused to leave the premises, leading officers to slap him in handcuffs.

Lewis was hauled off to a Hillsborough County jail ... and later charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

Jade Cargill isn't wasting any time ... the long-running, former AEW champ turned WWE Superstar is setting her sights squarely on the biggest, most talented, and badass women in the world!

Now, don't get it twisted, Jade's super respectful of wrestlers like Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair ... in an 'I recognize your accomplishments, but want to kick your ass' kind of way.

"I'm excited to work with those ladies. They're phenomenal. They've been working their butts off in the system for years. These are the best women in wrestling in the world. So for me to even share the ring with them is phenomenal in general," Jade told Mojo Muhtadi on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs weekdays on FS1).

She continued ... "I want every single one of them. Those matches are gonna put butts in seats. They're gonna sell tickets. I mean me working with Bianca Belair is gonna be a main event match on WrestleMania! I think everybody can say that. I'm just excited to be here and I'm excited to work with such stellar women!"

The wrestling world was rocked on Tuesday when WWE announced they'd signed the 31-year-old wrestler just days after Jade partied ways with AEW, nearly three years after she made her debut for the promotion (November 2020).

Cargill, a former basketball player at Jacksonville University, was champion for 508 days with AEW ... and now she's after a WWE belt or two!

Jade says the move was obviously a major step for her, but the "entire WWE Universe made [her] feel welcome" ... and now she's intent on becoming a huge star, all while inspiring kids across the world.

"A lot of people would probably be afraid to make the jump. I made the jump because I wanted to create something for myself, a legacy. A household name. I want my daughter to look at me, just not her father, but look at me and say, 'You know what, my mom did this, and I can do this.'"

El caso de divorcio de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner estuvo en el centro en un tribunal de Miami este miércoles, y el abogado de Joe dejó claro que habrá una pelea de perros sobre quién llevará el caso, si un juez estadounidense o un juez del Reino Unido.

Lo que está en juego es extremadamente importante. Si un juez estadounidense lleva el caso, Joe puede tener la gran ventaja de jugar de local. Si un juez del Reino Unido finalmente lo obtiene, sería todo lo contrario.

El abogado de Joe, Thomas Sasser, lo dejó claro. De acuerdo a los intercambios que ha tenido con el abogado de Sophie, ella dice que ahora su familia es una familia del Reino Unido, por lo que el divorcio debería ser manejado allí.

El abogado de Sophie no respondió directamente, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que eso es exactamente lo que está sucediendo.

Si un juez del Reino Unido maneja el divorcio es probable que la residencia principal de los 2 niños esté allá y Joe no está de acuerdo con eso.

Como informamos, Sophie acudió a un tribunal federal la semana pasada, alegando que Joe violó una ley internacional de secuestro infantil al negarse a entregarle los pasaportes de sus hijas para que ella pudiera llevarlas de vuelta a Inglaterra. El juez dictaminó que, por el momento, las niñas deben permanecer en el área de Nueva York.

El juez de Miami dijo en la corte el miércoles que acatará la decisión del juez federal. Él se hará cargo del caso si el juez federal define que Estados Unidos es el lugar apropiado, y si decide lo contrario, un juez del Reino Unido tomará las riendas.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce case was front and center in a Miami courtroom Wednesday, and Joe's lawyer made it clear ... there's gonna be a dogfight over who hears the case -- an American judge or a UK judge.

The stakes are extremely high ... if an American judge hears the case it gives Joe a huge home-court advantage, and the reverse is true if the UK judge gets the case.

Joe's lawyer, Thomas Sasser, made it clear ... based on his exchanges with Sophie's counsel, she says their family had become UK-based so the divorce should be handled there.

Sophie's lawyer did not directly respond, but our sources say that is exactly what's happening in the case.

If a UK judge handles the divorce, it's likely the primary residence of the 2 kids will be there, and Joe is not down with that.

As we reported, Sophie went to federal court last week, claiming Joe violated an international child abduction law by refusing to hand over the passports of their kids so she could take them back to England. That judge ruled, for the time being, the kids must stay in the New York area.

The Miami judge said in court Wednesday, he will abide by the federal judge's ruling. He will get the case if the federal judge says the U.S. is the appropriate venue, and if the judge decides otherwise a UK judge will take the reins.

Britney Spears no solo representa un grave peligro para sí misma bailando con cuchillos afilados, sino que también para sus pequeños perros, según piensan sus seguidores, quienes creen que estos deberían ser rescatados.

Britney ha hecho que las personas comenten en Internet, después de poner su fascinación por los cuchillos en plena exhibición el lunes por la noche en un bizarro video donde aparece bailando, pinchando e incluso chocando los cuchillos entre sí.

A lo largo del video, se puede ver a los tres perros de Britney observando asustados, mientras ella da vueltas con los cuchillos afilados. De hecho, cuando Britney los choca, los perros corren a esconderse.

Los fans y críticos de Britney opinaron sobre los perritos en las redes sociales, escribiendo: "Esos pobres perros simplemente corrieron asustados necesitan ser rescatados y ella necesita AYUDA". Otro escribe: "¡¡¡Alguien por favor salve a estos cachorros!!!" y: "Ahora me preocupa que ella tenga perros y mucho menos cualquier animal después de este video".

Debemos señalar que el pie de foto original de Britney bailando decía: "Empecé a jugar en la cocina con cuchillos hoy". Aunque más tarde dijo que eran accesorios falsos de Halloween. Sin embargo, por el sonido, está bastante claro que eran de verdad.

Un fan lo señaló: "Los cuchillos hacían un ruido metálico. Son claramente reales. Lo suficientemente reales como para caer sobre uno de los pobres cachorros y matarlo".

Britney podría haber confirmado los temores de que estos eran reales, con el video que publicó el martes donde aparece con un corte en la pierna y un vendaje en el brazo.

Britney Spears not only poses a serious danger to herself by dancing around with sharp knives, but onlookers believe her tiny dogs are also at risk ... and should be taken away.

Britney's got the internet talking after putting her fascination with knives on full display Monday night in a bizarre video where she danced with, jabbed and even clanged knives together.

Throughout the video, you can see 3 of Britney's dogs looking on in fear as she twirls around with the sharp tools. In fact, when Britney bangs the knives together, the dogs run for cover.

Britney fans and critics sounded off about the pooches on social media, writing, "Those poor dogs just ran scared they need to be rescued and she needs HELP." Another writes, "Someone please save this puppies!!" and, "I'm now concerned about her having dogs let alone any animals after this video."

We should note, Britney's original caption with the dancing video read, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today," she later added to say they were fake Halloween props. However, it's pretty clear to tell from the sound, the knives are real.

One fan pointed this out, saying, "The knives made a clanking noises. They're clearly real. Real enough to fall on and kill one of those poor worried pups."

Britney may have confirmed her fans fears that the knives were real, posting a video of herself Tuesday where she appeared to have a cut on her leg and bandage on her arm.

We contacted Ventura County Animal Services who told us they hadn't yet received any complaints about Britney's conduct. However, the rep added, "We reviewed the video, and while the dogs appeared to be startled by the clinking of the knives, we didn’t feel they were in a situation where an officer needed to be dispatched."

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

Should Britney Spears' dogs be taken away from her in light of the knife video? Vote below.
