Trae Tha Truth Giving Big in November ... Prison T'Giving & H-Town Furniture Drives

Published

Trae Tha Truth is getting back to his philanthropic power moves ... fully furnishing a Houston woman's home -- the first of many such upgrades -- and planning to uplift inmates' spirits later this month.

Trae tells TMZ Hip Hop ... he treats each month like a holiday when it comes to charitable donations, but he's already shifting into overdrive for this holiday season.

He recently visited men and women locked up at the Harris County Jail and is planning to return and deliver them Thanksgiving-style food in the upcoming weeks!!!

As for citizens on the outside, Trae says he'll be passing out food, and has partnered with Bel Furniture once again to boost the quality of life for less fortunate families.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Trae tells us he's keenly aware too many people live in this country without a proper support system, which is why he's stepping in to fill that gap.

He feels it's his God-appointed mission to use his strength to help those in need ... even if it means personal sacrifices, like making music.

Trae nearly broke a 3-year drought of releasing albums while focusing on everyone else, but he says he was able to lock in to create his most recent LP, "Stuck In Motion," which dropped a couple weeks ago.

He admits it's not easy being both selfless and selfish, which making an album often requires of an artist ... but says he's thankful to be a rapper again, especially now that his assault charges following his street scuffle with former collaborator Z-Ro have been dropped!!!

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Trae allegedly assaulted Z-Ro during 50 Cent's H-Town weekend last year, but completed a diversion program to wipe the slate clean -- and he says he's planning to keep it that way.

Can't help the people if you're locked up!!!

Steven Tyler Accuser New Lawsuit Just Beat Statute Cutoff ... Alleged Victims Want to Testify For Each Other

Published | Updated

Steven Tyler's latest accuser -- who claims he sexually assaulted her nearly 50 years ago -- filed her lawsuit against the singer in the nick of time, legally speaking ... as the statute of limitations was about to run out.

Jeff Anderson, attorney for the alleged victim Jeanne Bellino, tells TMZ ... he and his client recently decided to file against Tyler under New York City's Gender-Motivated Violence Act.

Under that act, Bellino -- who alleges the assault happened in New York City in 1975 when she was 17 -- has a much larger window for the statute of limitations ... but even so, Anderson says it was set to expire at the end of November.

As we reported, Julia Holcomb also sued Tyler at the end of last year, alleging she was sexually assaulted by the musician in 1973 when she was 16 -- and also claimed he pressured her to get an abortion.

Anderson is representing both women in their respective cases.

In fact, we're told Holcomb and Bellino plan to serve as witnesses for each other's cases. Anderson says Bellino first came to him to say she was open to testifying for Holcomb to establish a pattern of Tyler's alleged behavior.

We've reached out to Tyler's attorney for comment ... so far, no word back.

Acusadora de Steven Tyler PRESENTÓ UNA DEMANDA PARA EVITAR LA PRESCRIPCIÓN

Published

La última denunciante de agresión sexual de Steven Tyler eligió el momento más oportuno para presentar su demanda, justo antes de que prescribieran sus reclamaciones.

Jeff Anderson, el abogado de la presunta víctima Jeanne Bellino, le dice a TMZ que él y su cliente recientemente decidieron presentar una demanda contra Tyler bajo la Ciudad de Nueva York por Violencia de Género Motivada por la Ley.

En virtud de esa ley, Bellino, quien asegura que fue agredida por el cantante en 1975, cuando era menor de 18 años, tiene una ventana de tiempo mucho más grande para el estatuto de limitaciones. Pero aún así, Anderson dice que presentó la acusación porque ese límite estaba a punto de expirar a fines de este mes.

Como informamos, Julia Holcomb también demandó a Tyler a finales del año pasado, diciendo que fue agredida sexualmente por el músico en 1973, cuando tenía 16 años. Alegó que la presionó para que abortara.

Anderson representa tanto a Holcomb como a Bellino en sus respectivos casos contra Tyler, pero el abogado cree que haya ningún conflicto de intereses en la representación de ambas.

De hecho, nos han dicho que Holcomb y Bellino planean servir como testigos en el caso de la otra. Anderson agrega que Bellino se acercó a él y le dijo que estaría dispuesta a testificar por Holcomb para establecer un patrón de comportamiento en Tyler.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el abogado del cantante para obtener algún comentario, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

With links to the Romanian Organized Theft Groups, she's known to travel the states committing similar crimes. Anyone with info on her whereabouts is urged to contact the West Hollywood Sheriff Station.

Pudge Rodriguez Praises Bochy After W.S. Win 'Hall of Famer, Obviously'

Published | Updated

Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez had nothing but great things to say about Bruce Bochy following his World Series victory this week ... telling TMZ Sports there's absolutely no doubt in his mind the Texas manager will be inducted in Cooperstown one day.

"Hall of Famer," the former Rangers catcher said. "Hall of Famer, obviously."

With a 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Bochy became just the sixth manager ever to earn four World Series championship rings. Unlike the other five, though, he's not yet secured a place in baseball's HOF.

Pudge, however, clearly thinks that will happen sooner than later ... calling the 68-year-old one of the greatest big-game coaches of all time.

"When you start to play in the playoffs, it's a different monster," said Rodriguez, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017. "It's always a different game. It's a different ball game. And he's the best doing that. He's the best manager in that situation. And we all see it."

Pudge -- who's been working as a special assistant to the general manager of the Rangers -- said Bochy deserves a ton of credit for leading Texas to its first-ever title, adding that his calming presence made a huge difference in the dugout.

"As a player," he said, "you feel comfortable that, 'Hey, he's going to put all the pieces together to bring this game back and win for us.'"

Pudge also had high praise for the Rangers' World Series MVP, Corey Seager ... calling him straight up "one of my favorite players."

Shawn Porter Ngannou Could Be Heavyweight Boxer ... After Fury Fight

Published | Updated

Shawn "Showtime" Porter was impressed by Francis Ngannou's boxing debut against Tyson Fury last week ... telling TMZ Sports he could see the former UFC legend having a successful boxing career in the heavyweight division.

ICYMI, Ngannou lost by split decision to Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) on Oct. 28 in Saudi Arabia ... and even though it was his first boxing match ever, Francis put on a good performance, including a knockdown in the 3rd round.

"Unfortunately, even though Ngannou showed himself, again, to be very strong, showed himself to be prepared for this fight, he also showed he does not have enough boxing mechanics to win enough rounds to beat Tyson Fury," Porter said.

Shawn -- who won 31 fights in the welter/middleweight division -- believes Ngannou's execution could make him a decent heavyweight boxer in the future ... once he gets a couple of fights under his belt and some familiarity with the sport.

"His lack of experience showed because there were rounds where he essentially did zero to win those rounds," Porter said.

"If he's able to find a pace, he's gonna get some heavyweight fighters some trouble because he's big enough to fight there, he showed he's strong enough to fight there and the guy is athletic. He got skills!"

Even Ngannous's age (37) doesn't stop Porter from believing he can be tough in boxing ... saying fighters don't even get to their prime until their mid-30s and heavyweights age slower than other weight classes.

However, Porter -- who became a boxing analyst after retiring in 2021 -- does point out that Fury didn't fight hard either ... but he's not taking anything away from Ngannou's debut.

"He underperformed," Porter said about Fury. "He wasn't prepared for this fight."

Porter isn't the only one who believes Fury didn't come ready ... undefeated boxer Shakur Stevenson told us the same thing, saying Tyson was "off that night."

Ngannou will definitely get more chances to prove himself and his team revealed this week that a decision, as to who his next opponent will be, is close.

WIPE-OUT PORTA-POTTY On Skates!!! Takes 💩 Turn for Spectator

COMIN' THROUGH!

If you think just using a porta-potty is rough ... grab some TP, because you're about to see a woman get crushed by a porta-potty on wheels, and it's definitely a memory she'd love to flush!!!

A group of stuntmen, known as the @madhouseboys on IG, took part in a Thrasher Magazine event called The Halloween Hellbomb skating/costume competition -- and the video from last week's wild event shows them hurtling down a skate park in L.A.'s Griffith Park in their mobile toilet.

Y'know ... for when ya really gotta go, go, go!

Anyway, things were running smoothly until a woman in the crowd named Katrina Ponce De Leon got distracted while filming on her phone. She told us she couldn't gauge how close she was to the potty shot because she was viewing through a wide-angle lens.

She also didn't see the door hanging off the side, which ended up taking her out as the porta-potty slammed into her. Oh s**t, was never more appropriate! 💩

Katrina only suffered minor injuries in the crash, but check out the guy standing near her who took a street sign to the dome. He went to a hospital to treat a cut on his head.

Luckily, no one was sliding into third and feeling a greasy ... well, y'know.

Ex-NFL Star Devin Funchess Still Training For NBA Career ... I Can Help A Team!!!

STARTING A NEW CHAPTER

Ex-NFL star Devin Funchess is keeping his hoop dreams alive ... telling TMZ Sports he's still hoping to suit up for an NBA team -- and he's putting in the work nonstop to make it happen!!

29-year-old Funchess made headlines last year ... revealing after five seasons on the gridiron, he wanted to take his talents to the hardwood.

We caught up with the 6'4", 225-pound athlete about how the process is going this week ... and it's safe to say he's dead set on making it to the Association.

In fact, he's putting his skills to the test with California's Statham Academy squad in the Asia Basket Dasmariñas Tournament in the Philippines this weekend (DF dropped 10 points, grabbed 7 boards, and had 4 blocks in their first game).

"My end goal is the NBA, get a few seasons over there just like I did in the NFL. Just to be able to compete against the best players in the world, that'll be a blessing to me. I've done it in the football realm already. And it's nothing but dedication, repetition and just having fun."

Devin -- who first dunked a basketball when he was 10 -- has been working with NBA trainers to hone his craft ... and played against pros like Michael Beasley, Amar'e Stoudemire and John Wall.

Funchess explains his unique experience as a football veteran will help bring experience to a squad -- even though he'd technically be a rookie.

But he's not looking to come in the league and be LeBron James -- Funchess says he's just looking to make an impact and help teams win.

Of course, basketball was Devin's first love ... but after an issue with his coach in his junior season of high school ball, he switched his focus to football. He went on to play at Michigan before suiting up for the Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts.

Best part of switching to hoop?? Funchess says he doesn't have to ice up nearly as much anymore.

Russell Brand Sued You Sexually Assaulted Me ... On 'Arthur' Movie Set

Published

Russell Brand exposed his penis to a woman on a movie set then sexually assaulted her in a bathroom on the same day ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Russell is being sued by an actress who claims he made her time on the set of the movie "Arthur" a living hell -- and BTW, this does indeed mark a new accuser.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims she was on set in July 2010 when Russell exposed his penis to her "in full view of the cast and crew" of the Warner Bros. movie.

Russell's accuser, who is suing as a Jane Doe, claims prior to the alleged assault he "appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol, and was carrying a bottle of vodka on set."

In the docs, the woman claims Russell followed her into a bathroom later that same day ... where he sexually assaulted her while "a member of the production crew guarded the door from the outside."

The woman claims she still suffers extreme fear, shame and embarrassment as a result of the alleged incident.

In the suit, the woman claims she was hired to work on the movie for 3 days ... but after the alleged assault happened on the first day, she was not brought back for the second or third day and was only paid for one day of work.

The woman says she's terrified of becoming blacklisted in Hollywood if her name is associated with a sexual assault lawsuit against a big-name celebrity ... and she says she fears retaliation from RB's loyal following.

As we reported ... Russell's already been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 4 other women ... and he's under criminal investigation in the United Kingdom.

Brand, meanwhile, has maintained his innocence ... vehemently denying the allegations and insisting all of the sexual relationships he's been in have been consensual.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER Es demandado por un accidente de tráfico con una ciclista... Andabas muy rápido!!!

Published

Arnold Schwarzenegger está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por una ciclista a la que accidentalmente golpeó con su carro, y ella está apelando a sus habilidades de conducción, o más bien, a la supuesta falta de ella.

De acuerdo con la nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joanne Flickinger afirma que es la ciclista a quien Schwarzenegger chocó con su SUV en febrero en una concurrida calle de West Los Ángeles.

En los documentos, Flickinger afirma que Arnold es responsable. Dice que estaba conduciendo "a exceso de velocidad" y falló en mantener una "visión adecuada". También afirma que la colisión del actor le causó lesiones graves.

TMZ publicó la historia, Arnold estuvo involucrado en un accidente de tráfico con una mujer que fue trasladada a un hospital. Se nos dice que tomó la bicicleta de la señora, la ató a su SUV y la llevó a un taller de bicicletas local para su reparación.

En ese momento, nuestras fuentes policiales nos dijeron que la mujer hizo un giro a la izquierda delante de Arnold, antes de que él tuviera la oportunidad de pisar el freno. También dijeron que no iba muy rápido en absoluto.

Obviamente, la ciclista ve las cosas de manera diferente, y va tras de Arnold por dinero.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el campamento de Arnold. Hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.
