El tendón de Aquiles de Aaron Rodgers se está curando a un ritmo nunca antes visto en un jugador de la NFL y hay una posibilidad real de que el futuro Salón de la Fama vuelva al campo esta temporada. Fuentes relacionadas a la estrella le comentaron a TMZ Sports.

Nos dicen que la recuperación de Rodgers —39 años— de la grave lesión en su pierna izquierda, ha sido más rápida que la de cualquier otro jugador en la historia del deporte.

Normalmente, una rotura del tendón de Aquiles tarda más de nueve meses en recuperarse. La lesión de Aaron ocurrió el 11 de septiembre, hace solo 57 días. Según ese calendario, Rodgers no estaría listo para volver hasta al campo de entrenamiento hasta el año que viene.

Pero Aaron no es convencional y decidió que iba a hacer todo lo posible para volver esta temporada.

Los médicos, sin embargo, tienen que equilibrar el afán de Rodger con el peligro de volver a lesionarse la pierna. Según nuestras fuentes, solo le permitirán jugar si están seguros de que no corre un alto riesgo de volver a lesionarse el ligamento.

Nos comentan que uno de los factores a considerar es lo mucho que los Jets necesitan a Rodgers. Si es crítico para el juego, compensaría parte del riesgo. En otras palabras, cuanto más se necesita, más riesgo se puede tolerar.

En cuanto a por qué un jugador de 39 años se está curando más rápido que cualquier jugador de fútbol conocido por la medicina, se nos dice que es una combinación de los mejores médicos que utilizan procedimientos de vanguardia combinados con el enfoque implacable de Aaron a la terapia física.

Toda la charla sobre un regreso podría ser discutible si los 4-4 Jets no están en la lucha por los playoffs. No tiene sentido apresurar un regreso si Gang Green está jugando en partidos sin sentido.

Tras la derrota de los Jets en el Monday Night Football ante los Chargers, Derwin James le preguntó a Rodgers cuándo iba a volver.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have no immediate plans to go down the road of divorce, but it's worth noting -- they do not have a prenup in place ... TMZ has learned.

With Kyle recently referring to their separation as a straight-up divorce -- there's a fortune on the table if that apparent slip of the tongue becomes reality ... although sources with direct knowledge tell us neither Kyle nor Mauricio has lawyered up.

Multiple sources tell TMZ ... Kyle and Mauricio are not directly talking about ending their marriage, but we're told the thought is certainly present ... so division of assets is something to consider, assuming they decide to cross that bridge.

Kyle has made her mark on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and scored millions of dollars, and Mauricio has acquired a net worth of $100M with nearly $5B in real estate sales.

When he married Kyle, he wasn't even working in real estate. He was making peanuts while working in fashion before going into real estate, working for Kyle's brother-in-law Rick Hilton and then opening The Agency in 2011.

The pair's decision to separate wasn't an easy one -- Kyle broke down in tears this past weekend when asked where things stood between them during a Q&A at BravoCon.

It looks like Mauricio is having an easier time, enjoying the single life with some cozy sightings with his 'DWTS' partner, Emma Slater.

Alan Ruck's car crash last week is still a mystery in terms of cause -- but cops do have a theory they're running with for now ... they think technology got the better of a human.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... investigators believe they know what caused the "Succession" star's wreck at a pizza parlor in Hollywood, and from the sounds of it -- the police are buying Alan's story here.

Our sources say Alan told officers he simply didn't know what caused the accident.

We're told those who were on the scene believed him -- as they saw no evidence he was under the influence, distracted or otherwise impaired during the accident ... so, as far as they're concerned, they believe it was, in fact, just an accident.

Our sources also tell us the LAPD thinks this was just a mishap arising from the fact that Alan's truck, a Rivian R1T, is brand-spanking new and super high-tech.

Indeed, it is an electric truck ... and it certainly looks fancy from the inside out. It also features three all-wheel drive systems -- Dual Motor, Performance Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor ... and depending on which one you're on, it can go from 0-60 MPH reeeal fast.

We have no idea if or how any of this played a part in Alan's sitch -- but it sounds like the police think he might've just been in over his head handling this machine ... and that it just got away from him. As a result, we're told they're closing the book on this case ... and leaving it to insurance.

El accidente de Alan Ruck la semana pasada sigue siendo un misterio en términos de causa, pero la policía tiene una teoría relacionada a la tecnología del carro.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que los investigadores creen que saben lo que causó el accidente de la estrella de "Successión" en una pizzería en Hollywood, y por lo visto, la policía está creyendo la historia de Alan.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Alan simplemente le dijo a los oficiales que no sabía lo que causó el accidente.

Nos informan que los que estaban en la escena le creyeron, ya que no vieron ninguna evidencia de que el  actor estuviera bajo la influencia del alcohol, distraído o deteriorado de alguna manera durante el accidente, por lo que, en lo que a ellos respecta, creen que fue solo un accidente.

Nuestras fuentes también nos dicen que la policía de Los Ángeles piensa que esto era solo un percance derivado del hecho de que lacamioneta de Alan, un Rivian R1T, es nuevo y alta tecnología.

De hecho, es una camioneta eléctrica, y desde luego tiene un aspecto de lujo por dentro y por fuera. También cuenta con tres sistemas de tracción a las cuatro ruedas, Dual Motor, Performance Dual-Motor y Quad-Motor y puede ir de 0-60 MPH realmente rápido.

No tenemos ni idea cómo algo de esto pudo jugar un papel importante en el accidente, pero parece que la policía piensa que el actor simplemente no pudo manejar la máquina. Como resultado, nos dicen que están cerrando el caso y dejándolo en manos del seguro.

A famous strip club in Sin City is saluting active-duty military and veterans ... with free lap dances on Veterans Day!!!

Crazy Horse 3 in Las Vegas is offering one complimentary lap dance to folks who've served our country ... but the club tells us the deal is only good between noon and 6 PM this coming Saturday ... so don't procrastinate.

The gentlemen's club, located just down the street from Allegiant Stadium where the Las Vegas Raiders play, also has a Veterans Day deal for folks who didn't join the military ... we're told anyone over 21 years old with a Nevada identification can get in for free.

For military and veterans who haven't been to CH3 before ... it's been named one of the best strip clubs in Las Vegas by multiple news outlets, winning local awards for Best Bachelor Party Stop and Best Gentleman's Club.

In other words ... this is the Sin City version of the G.I. Bill -- and Crazy Horse 3 is here to take care of our vets.

Un famoso club de striptease en la Ciudad del Pecado está saludando a los militares en servicio activo y veteranos, ¡con bailes eróticos gratis el Día de los Veteranos!

Crazy Horse 3 en Las Vegas está ofreciendo un baile erótico de cortesía a las personas que han servido a nuestro país, pero el club nos dice que el acuerdo solo será válido entre el mediodía y las 6 PM este próximo sábado.

El club de caballeros, situado justo al final de la calle del Estadio Allegiant, donde juegan los Raiders de Las Vegas, también tiene una oferta del Día de los Veteranos para la gente que no se unió a los militares. Nos dicen que cualquier persona mayor de 21 años con una identificación de Nevada puede entrar gratis.

Para los militares y veteranos que no han estado en club antes, deben saber que ha sido nombrado uno de los mejores clubes de striptease en Las Vegas por varios medios de comunicación e incluso a ganando premios locales por la Mejor Despedida de Soltero y Mejor Club de Caballeros.

Francis Ngannou isn't sending mixed signals ... he wants a rematch with Tyson Fury next, and if that means waiting a few months until The Gypsy King fights Oleksandr Usyk, he tells TMZ Sports that's exactly what he'll do!

The 37-year-old combat sports superstar joined Michael Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" show (airs weeknights on FS1) ... where the guys talked about Francis' future in the ring now that he's the hottest commodity in the sport.

"I would be willing to wait [for Fury to fight Usyk]. I know that they are going to fight, they had a contract already, so they are going to fight sometime in February instead of December 23, which is my fault," Ngannou said smiling ... "I shouldn't have cut him. He would've fought December 23, and maybe we would've run it back early next year."

Of course, Francis is referring to the cut he opened up on Tyson's head ... a big reason he won't be able to turn around and fight in less than 2 months. The cut has to heal.

So, a fight with Fury, barring the Usyk bout completely falling apart, will not happen until, at earliest, mid-2024.

In the meantime, Anthony Joshua, through his promoter Eddie Hearn, has said he's down to fight The Predator in Saudi Arabia on December 28. We asked Ngannou if he was interested.

"First of all, it's too soon. Secondly, my focus, as boxing is concerned, is a rematch with Tyson. That's the most important thing for me right now, everything else for boxing comes after."

In addition to AJ, Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker are names that have been thrown out as possible future opponents for Ngannou.

All this doesn't necessarily mean Francis won't fight before Fury ... he just won't box. Remember, Ngannou is signed to PFL (as a fighter and Chairman of PFL Africa).

Last week we spoke to PFL CEO Peter Murray ... who previewed some of the promotion's plans for their superstar fighter.

There's also much more with Francis ... from whether he believes Fury trained for him to how his life has changed since the epic performance.

11/7 -- 8:26 AM PT -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attorney, Michael Baum, tells TMZ ... "We needed to take this step because President Joe Biden won't give Mr. Kennedy security protection despite the clear need demonstrated by Jonathan Macht's and others' actions."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn't have the Secret Service protecting him, as he would like, so he's running to a judge for help after a guy twice tried to unlawfully enter his home.

The 2024 presidential candidate is seeking court-ordered protection from a man named Jonathan Macht, who police previously identified as RFK Jr.'s home intruder.

RFK Jr. beelined it to court Monday and filed for a temporary restraining order against Macht ... according to online records. It's unclear if a judge signed off.

TMZ broke the story ... Macht was arrested last month after cops say he twice attempted to get inside the Brentwood home where RFK Jr. lives with his wife, Cheryl Hines.

Remember ... cops said Macht got over the fence and into the yard before being detained by RFK Jr.'s security until police arrived to arrest him.

Law enforcement said the guy was released from custody, only to come back to the RFK Jr.'s home the following day, leading to another arrest.

What's more, Kennedy's campaign claimed the guy asked to speak with RFK Jr., who we're told was home at the time of both incidents.

Kennedy's team says they've alerted Secret Service about Macht several times in recent months, labeling him an "obsessed" individual.

But as Cheryl told us on "TMZ Live," Kennedy has struck out in multiple attempts to get Secret Service protection, despite his strong numbers at the polls and his family's tragic history.

With no Secret Service agents, it looks like RFK Jr. wants the courts to help here.

LAPD Threat Management continues to investigate this case.

Wyclef Jean is confident his group The Fugees are solidified in history, even with their lack of albums ... they've been perfecting their craft since childhood.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the 'Carnival' creator at LAX right before his L.A. leg as a part of Lauryn Hill's "Miseducation" 25th-anniversary tour (more on that later) ... and he told us flat-out the trio's legacy surpassed all his expectations!!!

Clef recalled starting the group with Lauryn and Pras all the way back in high school in Jersey in the '80s ... the precursor to their monumental, 22x Platinum-selling album "The Score," which dropped in 1996.

Wyclef says U2's Bono told him The Fugees were "Hip Hop's Beatles" at the height of the album's success, a compliment lost on him at the time but says the years of having fans sell out their shows -- or wait for them at airports -- validated the honor for him.

He's hinted at them finally preparing a release after all this time ... a topic Pras played coy with us when we spoke to him last. Something big's obviously on the horizon!!!

Fast forward to the present day, the trio is still seeing their fans attend their droves .... with some special provisions added to the fray.

Lauryn defended her historic lateness during her first L.A. show on Friday, basically telling fans they should be grateful she's onstage to begin with.

Despite Ms. Hill's shade, fans were still treated at the 2nd L.A. set -- Lil Wayne surprised and performed to The Fugees' "Ready or Not" beat while rocking his own "A Milli" classic.

Nas also showed up to congratulate Lauryn for earning a Diamond plaque for her "Miseducation" album ... and stayed to perform their duets "Nobody" and "If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)."

Their track record speaks for itself ... now seems like the perfect time to add to it!!!

Montana Tucker dice que no se siente segura como una persona judía en los Estados Unidos y teme que el odio hacia los judíos en línea sea parte de un problema mayor.

La cantante se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el lunes y nos dijo que sus populares mensajes de TikTok son ahora pozos negros de comentarios antisemitas y solo está empeorando.

Montana, que tuvo familiares que murieron en el Holocausto, dice que la gente se siente envalentonada para vomitar odio contra los judíos, no solo en las redes sociales, sino también en la vida real.

Para Montana, su contenido de canto y baile ahora está plagado de comentarios de odio de antisemitas que le dicen que merece morir simplemente porque es judía e incluso hay algunos negadores del Holocausto.

Montana dice que el hate es realmente intenso en estos momentos como resultado de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, pero ella dice que se ha estado gestando desde hace un tiempo, primero se agudizó el año pasado cuando publicó una docuserie sobre Auschwitz, donde su familia murió en campos de concentración.

Las cosas están tan mal para los creadores judíos en TikTok, Montana nos dice que ella y otros no se sienten seguros, y dice que está liderando un grupo de celebridades que están presionando la plataforma para tomar medidas enérgicas contra el antisemitismo.

Montana también dice que muchas personas que vienen después de ella en los comentarios están apoyando a Hamás a pesar de que es una organización terrorista conocida por su terrible tratamiento de las personas LGBTQ + y las mujeres.

Taylor Swift's concert film is still playing in Israel -- this despite some who thought she'd yanked the flick to make a political statement ... which we've learned ain't the case at all.

Here's the deal ... the 'Eras' movie just started hitting cinemas in Israel last week -- the first time it'd reached that territory as the international rollout continues -- and folks were happy to go see it.

However, come Monday ... some were having technical issues in snapping up tickets for this week, and as a result -- a frenzy started to ensue over the perceived halt.

As far as what exactly the problem was ... people who were going to Taylor's official website for the 'Eras' movie could not pull up Israeli locations at all. When you searched for Israel, the site automatically kicked users to other areas in the Middle East ... like Lebanon.

As a result, a lot of people started jumping to conclusions, and speculating that Taylor and/or her team had done this intentionally ... as a way to signal their stance on Israel-Palestine.

Of course, Taylor's close friendship with Gigi Hadid -- with whom she had just dined this past weekend -- also jumped into people's minds ... as they assumed this (would-be) move to yank the flick in Israeli theaters was a result of GH getting into T-Swift's ear on this issue.

That couldn't be further from the truth though ... because, as of right now -- people can access those Israel tickets from her site ... and we have an explanation for what happened that made it inaccessible in the first place.

As it turns out ... we're told there's actually a third-party company that deals with posting Taylor's worldwide showtimes on her official 'Eras' movie website -- aka, this isn't something she or her team deal with themselves.

It's unclear what the holdup was in uploading this week's showtimes ... but rest assured it was merely a delay on the third-party company's part, and we're told the issue has now been rectified -- with showings available for purchase in and around Israel.

Long story short ... there is NO political statement that Taylor is trying to take here, and she was NOT trying to stick it to Israel over what's going on in Gaza.

We did extra digging on this to make sure it wasn't just a pivot only after people noticed, BTW ... because even while tickets in Israel were temporarily not available to the public on TS's site, we confirmed you could still go to individual Israeli theater chains/sites and purchase tickets there -- which just speak to this someone dragging their feet by mistake.

La película del concierto de Taylor Swift todavía se está proyectando en Israel, a pesar de algunos rumores que decían que la estrella del pop había retirado la película para hacer una declaración política, lo que hemos indagado que no es el caso en absoluto.

Esto es lo que pasó... la película "Eras" recién empezó a llegar a los cines de Israel la semana pasada. Esta es la primera vez que el filme se proyecta en ese territorio mientras su despliegue internacional continúa, y la gente estaba muy feliz de ir a verla.

Sin embargo, algunos estaban teniendo problemas técnicos para comprar entradas el lunes, y como resultado, se desató un frenesí sobre esta posible interrupción.

Cuando las personas iban al sitio oficial de la película, no podían obtener locaciones en Israel en absoluto. Cuando los usuarios buscaban alternativas para Israel, el sitio automáticamente los llevaba a otras áreas en el Medio Oriente, como el Líbano.

Como resultado, mucha gente empezó a sacar conclusiones y a especular que Taylor y su equipo habían hecho esto intencionalmente como una manera de señalar su postura sobre el conflicto entre Israel-Palestina.

Por supuesto, la estrecha amistad de Taylor con Gigi Hadid, con quien acaba de cenar el pasado fin de semana, también se le vino a la mente a la gente, ya que asumieron que este (posible) movimiento de retirar la película de los cines israelíes había sido resultado de la influencia de Gigi Hadid sobre el tema.

La cuestión es que eso no podría estar más lejos de la verdad, porque, a partir de ahora las personas sí pueden acceder a los boletos de Israel desde su sitio oficial y tenemos una explicación de lo que sucedió con ellos en primer lugar.

Nos dicen que en realidad es otra empresa la que se encarga de publicar los horarios de Taylor en todo el mundo en su sitio web oficial. Es decir, esto no es algo de lo que ella o su equipo se ocupen directamente.

No está claro cuál fue el retraso en la carga de los horarios de esta semana, pero tengan por seguro que fue simplemente un retraso por parte de la empresa. Nos han dicho que el problema ya ha sido rectificado y que hay proyecciones disponibles para su compra en Israel y sus alrededores.

En pocas palabras, no hay ninguna declaración política que Taylor esté intentando hacer y tampoco está tratando de lastimar a Israel por lo que está pasando en Gaza.

Hicimos una investigación adicional  para asegurarnos de que las funciones estén disponibles e incluso si los boletos no estuviesen temporalmente disponibles para el público en el sitio de Taylor, confirmamos que todavía se puede ir a las cadenas de teatro israelíes individuales y comprar entradas allí, por lo que solo habla de que alguien cometió un error.

Montana Tucker says she doesn't feel safe as a Jewish person in America ... and she fears the hate towards Jewish people online is part of a larger problem.

The singer joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and told us her popular TikTok posts are now cesspools for antisemitic comments ... and it's only getting worse.

Montana, who had family members die in the Holocaust, says people feel emboldened to spew hate against Jews ... not only on social media but also in real life.

For Montana, her singing and dancing content is now littered with hateful comments from antisemites telling her she deserves to die simply because she's Jewish ... and there are even a few Holocaust deniers.

Montana says the hate is really bad right now as a result of the Israel-Hamas war ... but she says it's been brewing for a while, first ratcheting up last year when she posted a docuseries about Auschwitz, where her family died in concentration camps.

Things are so bad for Jewish creators on TikTok, Montana tells us she and others don't feel safe ... and she's leading a group of celebs pressuring the platform to crack down on antisemitism.

Montana also says lots of people coming after her in the comments are supporting Hamas ... even though it's a terrorist organization known for its awful treatment of LGBTQ+ people and women.

Evan Ellingson -- a one-time child star who seemed to be on a trajectory toward major fame -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The former actor, who hasn't been on camera for over a decade, passed away Sunday at his home in San Bernardino County -- where his body was discovered in his bedroom ... this according to the coroner's office there. The exact circumstances of his death are unclear at this point ... but officials tell us that, for now, there appears to be no foul play involved.

Evan's father, Michael, was able to give us a bit more detail -- telling TMZ Evan was found at a sober-living home. We're told he'd struggled with drugs in the past, but was doing better of late -- and that his sudden passing comes as a complete shock to the family.

Ellingson is perhaps best remembered starring opposite Cameron Diaz -- playing her teenage son -- in 2009's "My Sister's Keeper." He was also well-known for his recurring role as Kyle Harmon on "CSI: Miami" ... in which he starred for a total of 18 episodes over 3 years.

He'd actually gotten his start in showbiz at the age of 13 with a small role in a TV movie as well as a guest appearance on 'General Hospital.' From there, EE went on to act in shows like 'Titus,' 'That Was Then,' 'Mad TV,' 'Complete Savages,' 'Bones,' '24' and others.

Ellingson also acted in a handful of films, such as 'Walk the Talk,' 'Letters from Iwo Jima,' 'The Bondage,' 'Confession,' 'Rules of the Game,' 'Time Changer,' 'The Gristle' and more.

Like we said, Ellingson appears to have stepped away from Hollywood ... not having any acting credits post-2010. Still, he left his mark on TV/film -- and he died quite young.

Ellingson was only 35.

Evan Ellingson, una estrella infantil que parecía estar en una trayectoria hacia la fama, ha muerto. TMZ ha indagado.

El ex actor —que no ha estado en cámara durante más de una década— falleció el domingo en su casa en el condado de San Bernardino, donde su cuerpo fue descubierto en su dormitorio. Esto de acuerdo con la oficina del forense. Las circunstancias exactas de su muerte no están claras en este momento, pero los funcionarios nos dicen que, por ahora, no hay señales de actos maliciosos relacionados con su muerte.

El padre de Evan, Michael, fue capaz de darnos algunos detalles. Nos comentó que Evan fue encontrado en un centro de rehabilitación. Había luchado contra las drogas en el pasado y le estaba yendo mejor últimamente así que su repentino fallecimiento es un shock para la familia.

Ellingson, es recordado por protagonizar "My Sister's Keeper" junto a Cameron Diaz en 2009, interpretando a su hijo adolescente. También era conocido por su papel recurrente como Kyle Harmon en "CSI: Miami" en la que protagonizó un total de 18 episodios durante tres años.

Se inició en el mundo del espectáculo a los 13 años con un pequeño papel en una película para televisión y una aparición como invitado en "Hospital General". A partir de ahí, pasó a actuar en series como "Titus", "That Was Then", "Mad TV", "Salvajes por completo", "Bones" y "24", entre otras.

Ellingson también actuó en un puñado de películas, como "Walk the Talk", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "The Bondage", "Confession", "Rules of the Game", "Time Changer" y "The Gristle", entre otras.

Como hemos dicho, Ellingson parece haberse alejado de Hollywood, ya que no tiene ningún crédito como actor después de 2010. Aun así, dejó su huella en la televisión y el cine y laentablemente murió demasiado joven.

Ellingson solo tenía 35 años.

El personaje de Matthew Perry, Chandler Bing, estuvo a punto de protagonizar un escándalo al engañar a Monica, pero nos han comentado que el actor consiguió que se desechara la idea.

Hablamos con Lisa Cash, que apareció en el episodio de 1999 de la temporada 5, "The One in Vegas: Part 1". Nos dice que consiguió el trabajo como extra, pero su papel en el episodio fue originalmente mucho más controvertido... o lo habría sido si Matthew no hubiera hablado.

Ella le dice a TMZ que la escena tenía origen en Mónica -interpretada por Courteney Cox- quien tenía una acalorada discusión con Chandler. El personaje de Lisa supuestamente iba a entrar a la habitación de Chandler para realizar un servicio de habitaciones a su habitación de hotel en Las Vegas.

Al parecer, Chandler y el personaje de Lisa se llevaron bien después de su gran pelea con Mónica, llegando incluso a engañarla con la empleada del hotel.

Si veías la serie, sabes que eso es algo que los fans NUNCA le perdonarían a Chandler y eso es exactamente lo que Matthew pensaba. Lisa dice que después de ensayar la escena, fue a los escritores y les dijo que la eliminaran.

Lisa sabía que tener un papel protagonista con Matthew Perry habría sido un cambio de juego para su carrera, pero cree que en última instancia fue un buen movimiento y podría haber cambiado el curso de la serie.

Mientras que toda la trama fue cancelada, Lisa terminó permaneciendo en el episodio como azafata en la escena de Ross y Rachel.
