Dodgers' Evan Phillips Home Burglarized During Playoff Run ... Cops Investigating

Published | Updated

A home belonging to Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips was burglarized earlier this month while he was away trying to help Los Angeles win a playoff series ... this according to cops.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... the break-in at Phillips' L.A.-area pad happened at some point while he was competing against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series.

We're told one suspect smashed a rear window of Phillips' place, entered the home ... and then allegedly took jewelry and cash totaling over $10,000.

So far, no arrests have been made ... and an investigation remains ongoing.

Phillips, who's been pitching for the Dodgers since 2021, threw 2.1 innings in the series against the D-Backs, giving up no earned runs while striking out three. It's unclear if he was aware of the break-in while on the mound.

It's at least the third time cops say a Dodgers player has had to deal with a burglary at their home in the last few months ... police say places belonging to Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman were also ransacked by thieves this season.

We're told the Phillips case, however, does not appear to be connected to the other two.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, won't have to leave town for another few months ... as their season came to an end following three straight losses to Arizona.

Charlie Wilson Ty Dolla $ign Will Nail Ye Album ... Gotta Voice Like Mine!!!

Published

Charlie Wilson has no doubts whatsoever Kanye West's upcoming album is in good hands with Ty Dolla $ign as co-pilot, because according to Uncle Charlie ... Ty's voice is golden as his!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked with The Gap Band leader at LAX, where he told us all of Ye's existing backstories -- antisemitism, public tirades, lawsuits -- will have no bearing on the quality of his new music.

We broke the story, Kanye and Ty$ were holed up good and tight in the studio last month, with Ye cranking out 10 songs in a week's time.

They're currently shopping the album but unlike Charlie's projection ... so far, major record labels are giving the impression Ye's antisemitic rhetoric left a lasting stain.

Larry Jackson's indie distributor Gamma counts Snoop Dogg, Usher and Rick Ross as clients, and still remains a viable option for the project.

As for CW, he last appeared on Kanye's 2019 "Ye" album, and tells us he's not a part of this new one. Charlie admits he and Ye lost contact, but says with Ty$ on board, it'll be a win for the project.

There's no timetable for the album's release but Ty$ wants to change the hip hop climate, and we gotta believe Ye's on the same page.

Bella Hadid looks like she's got a new man in her life because she was all over a cowboy in Texas ... stopping to pack on some PDA before crossing the street.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ, and shot at the famous Fort Worth stockyards this week. You can see the supermodel kissing, hugging and holding hands with Adan Banuelos ... a big star in the horse riding industry.

Folks who were there Tuesday say Bella and Adan seemed happy on their afternoon outing -- poking their heads into a few shops -- when they weren't making out ... of course.

BTW ... Adan's not just some poser in boots and a cowboy hat, he was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Fame in 2017 as one of the youngest inductees of all time.

As for their connection ... Bella's got a love for horses too. She grew up riding but had to take a break because of Lyme disease, and in March she returned to competitive equestrian.

Giddyup!!!

Juice WRLD Estate, Dr. Luke Sued By Producer For Royalties ... Fans Can't Get 'Enough,' Where's My Money???

Published | Updated

UPDATE

10/18 9:23 AM PT -- PD Beats tells TMZ Hip Hop the lawsuit is simply "an effort" to be in front of his business more ... as he hopes he and producers like Chicago's J Craig get their "just due."

Juice WRLD remains one of the top-streaming artists, even in death, but one man claims he co-wrote one of his hit songs and is now suing for his cut of the profits.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained a new lawsuit filed by Pierre DeJournette a.k.a. PD Beats ... one of the writers credited -- along with Dr. Luke and others -- on the 2021 Juice Wrld track "Not Enough."

The song was released posthumously as part of JW's "Fighting Demons" album, but PD is claiming his repeated attempts to get recognized as a co-author, and to get paid for his work have failed. So, now he's taking the matter to court.

In addition to suing Juice Wrld's estate, PD is going after Interscope Records, KBeazy, and others who apparently contributed to the track.

PD seems to believe everyone's getting paid 'cept him!!! 😩

The track is a big hit on Spotify ... 59 million plays and counting, a testament to the musical legacy JW left behind after his 2019 death from a fatal overdose.

PD is requesting the courts officially declare him a co-writer on the song, and he wants a full accounting of the profits ... so he can claim his piece.

We reached out to Interscope for comment but haven't heard back yet.

Conor McGregor Won't Face Charges Over NBA Finals Game Incident ... Probe Over

Published | Updated

Conor McGregor will not face criminal charges over the interaction he had with a woman at an NBA Finals game earlier this summer ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to a closeout memo we obtained ... prosecutors said there was "insufficient evidence" as well as "contradicting and/or no corroborating witnesses" to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that McGregor sexually assaulted a woman during a bathroom meetup at the Nuggets vs. Heat game in Miami on June 9.

In the doc, prosecutors wrote they viewed CCTV footage from the Kaseya Center on the night of the incident ... and it showed McGregor and his accuser did go into a men's restroom together for approximately five minutes. They wrote it also showed that after the two left the lavatory, they were seen together in a club inside the NBA arena until they went their separate ways at around 12:40 AM.

Prosecutors added, however, that when they interviewed an attendant who was in the same bathroom ... he told them that while he did see the UFC star and his accuser go into a stall together, he "did not hear any signs of distress or sounds that would corroborate that whatever was occurring was not consensual."

Officials also said they spoke with McGregor's accuser's friend ... who told them the alleged victim never mentioned that Conor had attacked her. In fact, prosecutors wrote in the document that the accuser's friend said the woman had called her mother that same night "to tell her she had met" McGregor.

Prosecutors also wrote in the memo that when the woman initially attempted to make the claim against McGregor to cops ... she asked detectives if they believed the 35-year-old fighter "would like to 'settle' or 'pay her off' if she did not pursue charges."

"In light of the above facts and circumstances," prosecutors wrote in the memo, "the State would not be able to satisfy its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt."

Barbara Llanes of Gelber Schachter & Greenberg, an attorney for McGregor, said in a statement to TMZ Sports on Tuesday she was "pleased" with the conclusion.

"After a thorough investigation, including a review of videos and interviews with eyewitnesses, the authorities have concluded that there is no case to pursue against my client, Conor McGregor," Llanes said. "On behalf of my client, his family and his fans we are pleased this is now over."

"I WISH I WAS GETTING PAID"

The Chargers fan who blew up on social media for displaying a roller coaster of emotions during "Monday Night Football" is putting all speculation to rest ... adamantly denying she was a paid actress or AI bot -- she's just that crazy about her team!!

Merrianne Do achieved overnight fame for her animated expressions while supporting Justin Herbert and the Chargers during their 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium ... and many were quick to accuse her of being planted by the team or league for manufactured clout.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

TMZ Sports spoke with the internet's newest celebrity ... and she says the truth is, she's your average fanatic who's super passionate about her squad.

"I wish I was being paid," Do tells us. "If [the skeptics] only knew this is how I am every day. My kids are like, 'Mommy this is how you are at my flag football game, why do they think you're getting paid?' I'm like. 'I know, but they don't know me.'"

As it turns out, it's true -- Do and her husband are truly diehard Charger fans -- the two have season tickets in the second row ... and if they aren't sittin' there, they're posted up in the cabana suites.

"We are diehard fans," she says. "It's always been like this. People that know me know that I've been this crazy football fan all my life."

The internet sleuths have been quick to try and poke holes in Do's explanation ... even posting pics of her in Minnesota Vikings gear -- but she has a reason for that, too.

"I grew up in Minnesota before moving to California almost 20 years ago," Do says. "I don't think you have to be a single-team fan. I love my Chargers and I'm not gonna deny my Vikings. At the end of the day, yes, I've been a Vikings fan, I've been through that journey as a Vikings fan and still am, but I'm here in LA for the past 20 years."

Long story short, Do didn't get a cent for her viral moment ... but knowing how internet fame works, that could all change.

"To anybody that thinks this is paid, I am not paid, I'm still eating my ramen noodles."

Floyd Mayweather Facetime's IDF Special Forces Unit ... Days After Sending Supplies To Israel

Published | Updated

Days after sending his private jet to Israel to deliver thousands of pounds of supplies, Floyd Mayweather spent time on a video call with some of the IDF special forces soldiers who received some of the goods.

Mayweather, from Los Angeles, spoke to the Israeli Defense Force's Yahalom Unit -- a special forces anti-terrorism unit -- on Monday, and gave the soldiers a bit of an inspirational pep talk ... as they fight for their country.

"We only want peace in Israel. Thank you for standing up for your country," Floyd told the soldiers, who were wearing custom TMT x Israel hats, along with their IDF uniforms, weapons slung, and faces covered to protect their identity.

We're told the call lasted several minutes.

We broke the story ... Floyd's "Air Mayweather" jet delivered over 5,000 lbs. of supplies on Saturday, and judging by the video, at least some of the items have been doled out, and the unit was clearly grateful.

"Floyd, how are you doing? We are here from the special forces unit, Yahalom. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts during those dark times and thank you very much. We love you," one of the soldiers told Mayweather.

Mayweather also attended a pro-Israeli march in Century City on Sunday ... where he walked shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of supporters. He's also posted support for Israel on social media on multiple occasions.

Mayweather's video call was set up by his friend Jona Rechnitz and philanthropist Nachman Rosenberg.

TERRELL OWENS ATROPELLADO TRAS DISCUTIR DURANTE UN PARTIDO DE BALONCESTO

Published | Updated

Terrell Owens fue atropellado por un coche la noche del lunes y todo porque se metió en una pelea con alguien durante un juego de baloncesto, de acuerdo a la policía.

La ley le dice a TMZ Sports que Owens estaba en el área de Calabasas cuando al parecer se metió en una discusión con otra persona en la cancha.

Nos informan que después del partido, el hombre que había estado discutiendo con la leyenda de la NFL se metió en un carro y condujo el vehículo para golpear la rodilla del ex receptor.

Afortunadamente, la policía dice Owens no requirió atención médica.

La policía dice que los oficiales tomaron un informe de asalto con un arma mortal, aunque no se han hecho arrestos. Una investigación sigue en curso.

Owens ha estado involucrado en varios incidentes extraños similares desde su retiro. En 2022 se metió en una discusión salvaje con una vecina que finalmente dio lugar a cargos criminales para la mujer.

Luego, más tarde ese año, estuvo involucrado en una pelea a puñetazos fuera de un CVS.

Cops: Terrell Owens Struck By Car After Argument During Basketball Game

Terrell Owens was hit by a car on Monday night ... and it's all because he got into a tiff with someone during a pickup basketball game earlier in the evening ... this according to cops.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... Owens had been hooping in the Calabasas area when he apparently got into an argument with someone else on the court.

We're told following the game, the man who had been beefing with the NFL legend got into a car ... and drove the vehicle right into the former wide receiver's knee.

Thankfully, cops say Owens did not require medical attention.

Law enforcement says officers took a report for assault with a deadly weapon ... though no arrests have been made. An investigation remains ongoing.

Owens, of course, has been involved in several, similar bizarre incidents since his retirement ... back in 2022, he got into a wild argument with a female neighbor that actually led to criminal charges for the woman.

Hadid Family Everyone Receiving Death Threats ... Over Palestine Support

Published | Updated

The Hadids are receiving death threats over their support for Palestine -- and it's gotten so bad they've been forced to take action ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... every member in the Hadid household -- including Gigi, Bella, Anwar and even their parents, Mohamed and Yolanda -- have gotten ominous messages that have made them fear for their lives.

We're told these death threats are coming through multiple mediums ... including emails, social media and even their own cell phones.

Our sources tell us phone numbers of several Hadid family members have been leaked online over the past week -- in other words, they've been doxxed -- and they've had random people hitting them up with horrific sentiments ... including graphic descriptions of how they would carry out the Hadids' executions.

It's forced the hand of the Hadids, whom we're told have all had to change numbers to avoid the ongoing threats. It's gotten so bad, our sources say Mohamed -- the patriarch -- is considering going to the FBI.

Gigi broke her silence in the wake of the Hamas attack -- which came across as measured and nuanced, but her latest remarks have drawn the ire of Israel itself.

DEALING WITH DEATH THREATS

That disgust appears to have manifested into blind hatred ... and it's having real-world effects on the family.

FAMILIA HADID TODOS RECIBEN AMENAZAS DE MUERTE por su apoyo a Palestina

Published | Updated

Los Hadid están recibiendo amenazas de muerte por su apoyo a Palestina. Las cosas han llegado al punto de verse en la necesidad de tomar medidas, TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que todos los miembros de la casa Hadid, incluyendo a Gigi, Bella, Anwar e incluso sus padres, Mohamed y Yolanda, han recibido mensajes siniestros que les han hecho temer por sus vidas.

Nos dicen que estas amenazas de muerte están llegando a través de múltiples medios, tales como correos electrónicos, redes sociales e incluso sus propios teléfonos móviles personales.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que los números de varios miembros de la familia Hadid se han filtrado en línea durante la semana pasada y han tenido personas al azar golpeándolos con palabras horribles, incluyendo descripciones gráficas de cómo estos locos anónimos aparentemente llevarían a cabo las ejecuciones de los Hadid.

De hecho, es bastante aterrador escuchar esto, y como resultado, los Hadids han tenido que tomar medidas. Nos informan que todos han tenido que cambiar los números para evitar las amenazas. De hecho, la situación ha empeorado tanto que, según nuestras fuentes, Mohamed —el patriarca— está planteando denunciar todo esto al FBI. Está claro que se lo están tomando en serio.

No hace falta decir que los Hadid fueron los primeros de la mente de mucha gente cuando este conflicto entre Israel y Palestina se intensificó la semana pasada, ya que todos han sido muy abiertos respecto a su apoyo a Palestina debido a que la familia tiene raíces allí.

Gigi rompió su silencio a raíz del ataque de Hamás —que se presentó como medido y matizado— pero desde entonces, sus últimas declaraciones han provocado la ira de Israel.

Ese disgusto parece haberse manifestado en odio ciego para algunos y está teniendo efectos en la familia.

Los otros miembros de la familia aún no han abordado la cuestión de Israel/Palestina públicamente.

BIRTHDAY BASH

Blac Chyna and Tyga are at odds over custody of their son King Cairo -- a battle that was pretty obvious from the guest list for King's 11th birthday bash!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage from inside the event which went down Sunday in L.A. ... it was a private party, strictly for close family and friends. Not shockingly, that did NOT include Tyga.

While King's pops wasn't there, we're told roughly 25-30 kids turned out to help KC celebrate ... and Chyna -- or Angela White as she's now known -- belted out the birthday song, complete with the MLK remix.

Chyna's mom Tokyo Toni was also there cutting a rug as the whole party jammed to a Blueface track!!!

Sources inside the shindig tell us it was produced by Royal Game Bus, who kept the kiddos busy all afternoon ... providing them with Oculus Quests, a cotton candy machine, candy bags and all the games they could play.

It's obvious the kids all had a great time, but the same can't be said for King's parents.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained court docs from the latest court bout between Tyga and Angela ... she's petitioning for equal joint custody, but he's not backing down.

At least their drama didn't rain all over King's birthday parade.

la mamá de la ESTRELLA DE "SANDLOT" Expresó su preocupación una semana antes de ser asesinada

Published

La madre de la estrella de "The Sandlot", Marty York, compartió su preocupación en línea no mucho antes de que fuera asesinada, hablando sobre la salud mental de su novio. El hombre que Marty cree que la mató.

La madre de Marty, Deanna Esmaeel, escribió en un grupo de apoyo a la esquizofrenia en Facebook a principios de este mes, preguntando si "¿Alguien más aquí tiene cónyuge o pareja con esquizofrenia, la mía no confía en mí y me acusa de engañarlo constantemente".

Ella continuó afirmando que ha recibido insultos y "violencia física sin razón", refiriéndose a su novio, Daniel James Walter.

Deanna también dejó un comentario la semana pasada en el post de alguien que le preguntó cómo lidiar con el abuso procedente de una pareja esquizofrénica.

Ella respondió: "Aprenderás a ver un patrón en su comportamiento. Cuando veas el patrón, ponte tapones para los oídos o auriculares y sube el volumen de la música. No escuches. Sigue sonriendo".

También explicó que las reacciones abusivas no son un reflejo de los sentimientos de su pareja, añadiendo: "Hago que el mío fume marihuana, ya que el cannabis realmente detiene el episodio y lo redirige".

TMZ publicó la historia, Deanna fue encontrada muerta el jueves dentro de su casa. Justo había hecho una denuncia a la policía local acerca de ponerle a tención a Walter.

Los oficiales dijeron que Walter era un sospechoso, pero los oficiales solo fueron capaces de localizar su coche, aunque más tarde fue capturado en Oregon.

Marty habló después del asesinato, diciendo: "Ayer por la noche mi madre fue asesinada por un hombre que estaba viendo. Ahora mismo hay una cacería humana a nivel nacional". Instó a cualquiera que tenga información que llame a la policía, señalando que tenía la sensación de que "maltrataría físicamente" a Walter si lo encontraba antes que la policía.

Published

The mother of "The Sandlot" star Marty York shared her concerns online not long before she was murdered ... speaking out about the mental health of her boyfriend -- the man Marty believes killed her.

Marty's mom, Deanna Esmaeel, wrote in a schizophrenia support group on Facebook earlier this month, asking, "Anyone else here have spouse or significant other with schizophrenia .. mine doesn't trust me and accuses me of cheating constantly."

She went on to claim she's been on the receiving end of name-calling and him "becoming physical for no reason" ... referring to her boyfriend, Daniel James Walter.

Deanna also left a comment last week on someone's post, who asked how others deal with the abuse coming from a schizophrenic partner.

She replied, "You will learn to see a pattern in his behavior. When you see the pattern initiate put in earplugs or headphones and turn up the music. Don't listen. Keep smiling."

She told the anonymous asker the abusive reactions weren't reflective of their partner's feelings, adding, "I get mine to smoke pot as cannabis actually stops the episode and redirects it."

TMZ broke the story, Deanna was found dead Thursday inside her home, with the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office -- where she was a deputy -- putting out an alert to help track down Walter.

PD said Walter was a suspect, but officers were only able to locate his car ... although he was later captured in Oregon.

Marty spoke out after the killing, saying, "Last night my mother was murdered by a man she was seeing. Right now there is a nationwide manhunt." He urged anyone with info to call the cops -- noting he felt he would "physically maul" Walter if he found him before police did.
