Formula One Drivers Get Free Sex At Brothel!!! ... Ahead Of Vegas G.P.

Published | Updated

Formula 1's biggest stars can find out why it's called Sin City this weekend ... 'cause one Nevada brothel is opening its doors and offering each driver free sex ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix!!

TMZ Sports is told ... famous Chicken Ranch brothel workers Addison Gray and Alice Little are really excited to welcome the race to their home turf for the first time since 1982 ... and they want to make sure every driver leaves Vegas happy.

We're told the licensed sex workers are offering a special one-on-one session at no charge for all the guys on the grid ... just in case they want to see some action prior to Saturday's race.

"It’s Formula 1 fever in Las Vegas this month and we’re all psyched up for the big event," Little told us.

"Any driver that wants to get their hearts racing and celebrate the F1 with me and Addison will be treated to 100% complimentary coitus."

Drivers aren't the only ones gettin' perks -- Gray and Little said they're also giving a 50% off deal for anyone flocking to the desert for the festivities.

"Our discount will help Vegas visitors and residents blow off some steam with a couple of generous ladies so that they can chill out during race week," Little said.

"Everyone who made F1 in Vegas possible deserves a break, and we’re here to provide some well-oiled appreciation."

Gray said the Grand Prix also needs a little bit of spice anyway ... especially since they stopped using Grid Girls years ago.

"Since Formula 1 banned their fabulous grid girls in 2018, the events have been overwhelmingly lacking in much-needed sex appeal," Gray said.

"Our discount isn't just a gesture of love for F1; it's an invitation for fans to revel in an experience where sex appeal is celebrated, not sidelined. Because in our world, glamour isn't forbidden; it's the star of the show!"

Here's hoping the drivers are only fast on the track!!

KODAK BLACK ¡ESAS PASTILLAS DE OXY ERAN EN REALIDAD TYLENOL!

Published

La detención de Kodak Black en julio de 2022 por posesión de drogas no fue más que un gran despilfarro de dinero de los contribuyentes: su abogado quiere que se desestime todo el caso, alegando que las pastillas resultaron ser Tylenol.

El "Super Gremlin" rapero fue arrestado en Ft. Lauderdale en julio de 2022 por un cargo de posesión de una sustancia controlada y un cargo de tráfico de oxicodona, pero de acuerdo a su moción para desestimar el caso, obtenido por TMZ Hip Hop, las pruebas de una muestra de las pastillas mostraron que eran solo Tylenol.

Bradford Cohen, el abogado de Kodak, también ha acusado a la Oficina del Sheriff de Broward de un encubrimiento que involucra al agente especial del FBI James Mitchell, quien Cohen dice que tiene algo en contra de Kodak.

Incluso afirma que los fiscales trataron de ocultar un video de un oficial filmando su arma de fuego mientras vigilaba a Kodak y comentando que "siempre está listo".

Cohen dice que las píldoras que en realidad se probaron fueron destruidas en el proceso, y los funcionarios nunca proporcionaron ningún informe a pesar de los resultados que muestran que sólo eran el medicamento de venta libre para el dolor de cabeza.

Según la moción, todo era parte de un "desmantelamiento coordinado" de Kodak y ahora Cohen quiere que el caso sea desechado por completo.

Apryl Jones Omarion's Not 'Unbothered' If He's Still Mentioning Me ... It's Been 9 Years, Let It Go!!!

Published

Omarion's getting praise for being cool about his child's mother Apryl Jones' relationship with his ex-bandmate, but she doesn't see it that way -- instead, Apryl says the "Touch" singer dished all sorts of subliminal shade!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Apryl in Studio City, CA, where "The Comeback" actress vented about Omarion's 2-hour sit-down with "Hollywood Unlocked" host Jason Lee.

Apryl tells us she and O have been broken up for nearly a decade, so the notion of him "forgiving her" for previously dating former B2K member Lil' Fizz is lost on her!!!

While she admits her Fizz relationship might have hurt fans raised on "Scream" tours ... Apryl has zero bad things to say about him. She points out they hooked up 5 years after she and Omarion split, and still credits Fizz for helping her through postpartum depression.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As for her relationship with Omarion ... Apryl says she's woman enough to co-parent peacefully with him, but wishes he'd push forward with his career without using her in his storylines!!!

She's got her own movie -- with real-life BF Taye Diggs playing her love interest -- so, she doesn't want any unnecessary drama, IRL!!!

CHRIS APPLETON SOLICITA EL DIVORCIO DE LUKAS GAGE Después de 6 meses de matrimonio

Published

Es el final del camino para el matrimonio relámpago de Chris Appleton y Lukas Gage. El peluquero de Kim Kardashian ha solicitado el divorcio.

Appleton se presentó ante el tribunal el lunes por la mañana, y la fecha de separación de la pareja es el viernes. En los documentos de divorcio, obtenidos por TMZ, Chris cita "diferencias irreconciliables" como la razón de la separación, y revela que la pareja tiene un acuerdo prenupcial.

En cuanto a la razón de la separación, una fuente cercana a la pareja nos dice que esto no fye una decisión fácil para Chris, pero él trató todo lo posible para que el matrimonio funcione y tenía que tomar la mejor decisión para sí mismo de cara al futuro.

Como informamos, Appleton de 40 años y Lucas 28 años se casaron con la ayuda de Kim y Shania Twain en una ceremonia en Las Vegas en la Little White Chapel en abril.

Fue una relación fugaz que se hizo pública en febrero durante un viaje a México, y se comprometieron solo unas semanas antes de su boda en Las Vegas.

SESIÓN DE FOTOS EN el AVIÓN

Gage se deshizo en halagos hacia Appleton durante una entrevista en el programa "Today" mientras promocionaba su papel en la serie de Netflix, "You", diciendo: "Me siento muy feliz, muy afortunado y muy enamorado. Es un hombre guapo. Mientras estuve en Londres le tomé el gusto a los británicos y no pude evitarlo".

Curiosamente, fue hace apenas una semana cuando se emitió el episodio de la boda de Chris y Lukas en "Las Kardashian". Durante el programa, Kim aconsejó a la pareja que se hiciera un acuerdo prenupcial, consejo que siguieron.

Ninguno de los dos ha comentado públicamente el divorcio.

Chris Appleton Files to Divorce Lukas Gage After 6 Months of Marriage

Published | Updated

It's the end of the road for Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage's whirlwind marriage ... Kim Kardashian's hairstylist has filed for divorce.

Appleton beelined it to court Monday morning, and lists the couple's date of separation as Friday. On the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Chris lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split, and reveals the couple has a prenup in place.

As for the reason for the split, a source close to the couple tells us this was not an easy decision for Chris to make, but he tried everything he could to make the marriage work and needed to make the best decision for himself moving forward.

As we reported, 40-year-old Appleton and 28-year-old got hitched with the help of Kim and Shania Twain in a Vegas ceremony at the Little White Chapel back in April.

It was a relationship that moved super fast, going public with their relationship in February during a trip to Mexico, and engaged only a few weeks before their Vegas wedding.

Gage gushed about Appleton during an interview on the 'Today' show while promoting his role on the Netflix show, "You," saying, "I feel very happy, very lucky and very much in love. He's a good-looking man. Something about being in London, I got a taste of the Brits and couldn't help myself."

Funny enough, it was only a week ago when Chris and Lukas' wedding episode aired on "The Kardashians." During the show, Kim advised the couple to get a prenup, advice they followed.

Neither has publicly commented on the divorce.

EL EX DE KEKE PALMER NIEGA LAS ACUSACIONES DE ABUSO Tras orden de alejamiento

Published

actualización

9:10 AM PT -- Una fuente cercana a Keke Palmer nos dice que Darius Jackson fue a su casa el domingo y comenzó a maldecir a Keke mientras ella estaba en el teléfono con Sharon. Nos dicen que Sharon hizo la amenaza de la bala porque temía por la seguridad de su hija y no podía estar allí en persona para proteger a Keke.

El ex de Keke Palmer, Darius Jackson, está negando las acusaciones de abuso contra su ex. Además, está lanzando sus propias reclamaciones contra la madre de Keke, debido a que la mujer lo habría amenazado con poner una bala en su cabeza.

Fuentes cercanas a Darius le dicen a TMZ que el último problema entre la pareja deriva de una discusión sobre la custodia de su hijo, Leo. Por nuestras fuentes, sabemos que Darius le habría enviado mensajes de texto a Keke sobre ir a recoger a su hijo para ir a ver el fútbol el domingo pasado, pero cuando llegó a la casa de Keke, Leo no estaba allí.

A partir de ahí, se produjo una discusión entre Darius y Keke y en algún momento, Keke puso a su madre, Sharon, al teléfono y la puso en el altavoz. Nos dicen que Sharon estaba gritando e insultando a Darius. Fue en ese momento cuando Sharon supuestamente le dijo a Darius que le metería una bala en la cabeza, lo que llevó las cosas a otro nivel.

Darius intentó arrebatarle el teléfono a Keke de forma violenta. Según nuestras fuentes, una de las pruebas que Keke usó en su orden de alejamiento la semana pasada, incluía imágenes de ambos forcejeando en el sofá.

Nos dicen que Darius niega haber golpeado de Keke y nuestras fuentes nos dicen que los policías fueron y no encontraron ninguna razón para arrestarlo por violencia doméstica. Ni siquiera presentaron un informe. Nos informan que ni siquiera presentaron una denuncia, lo que respalda la versión de Darius.

Nos dicen que la madre de Darius se enteró de la amenaza de bala en la cabeza y le envió un mensaje de texto a Sharon.

Debemos señalar que Keke también incluyó capturas de pantalla de un altercado entre ella y Darius en las escaleras en 2022 en su solicitud de orden de restricción. No sabemos mucho acerca de ese incidente.

En cualquier caso, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Darius se aferra a su historia y que niega las recientes acusaciones de abuso, sin embargo, el juez sintió que una orden de restricción temporal estaba justificada.

A Keke se le concedió su TRO (orden de alejamiento temporal) por no hablar de la custodia exclusiva temporal del niño. Una audiencia sobre el asunto está prevista para el 5 de diciembre - donde Darius será capaz de defender su caso.

Como informamos, Keke fue vista en público el sábado trabajando en lo que parecía ser un rodaje y tenía al pequeño Leo con ella. También recibió un ramo de rosas de algún desconocido.

Keke Palmer's Ex Darius Jackson Denies Abuse Claims ... After Restraining Order

Published | Updated

update

9:10 AM PT -- A source close to Keke Palmer tells us Darius Jackson made his way into her home that Sunday and began to cuss Keke out as she was on the phone with Sharon. We're told Sharon made the threat about the bullet because she feared for her daughter's safety and couldn't be there in person to protect Keke.

We've also obtained Sharon's response to the text message from Darius' mother.

Keke Palmer's ex, Darius Jackson, is denying her bombshell abuse allegations -- and is levying his own claims against her mother ... whom he insists threatened to put a bullet in his head.

Sources close to Darius tell TMZ the latest issue between the couple stems from an argument over the custody of their infant son, Leo. Per our sources ... Darius had texted Keke about going to pick up his son to watch football last Sunday -- but when he arrived to Keke's place, Leo wasn't there.

From there, an argument between Darius and Keke ensued, and at some point, Keke got her mom, Sharon, on the phone and put her on speaker -- and we're told Sharon was screaming/cussing Darius out. It was during that time when Sharon allegedly told Darius she'd put a bullet in his head ... which brought things to another level.

Darius then attempted to wrestle Keke's phone away from her -- which our sources say is what's depicted in one of KP's exhibits from her restraining order filing last week ... which shows them tussling and struggling on the couch.

We're told Darius absolutely denies abusing Keke ... and our sources say cops even came over and didn't find any probable cause to arrest him for DV. They didn't even file a report, we're told ... which our sources say backs up DJ's account.

We're told Darius' mother, Yhinyer, caught wind of the bullet to the head threat, and texted Sharon over it.

We should note, Keke also included screenshots from an altercation between her and Darius on the stairs from Feb. 2022 in her restraining order filing -- we don't know what led to that incident.

THREATENING PHONE CALL

In any case, our sources say Darius is sticking to his story ... and that denies the recent allegations of abuse. A judge, of course, felt a temporary restraining order was warranted.

Keke was granted her TRO ... not to mention temporary sole custody of the child. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Dec. 5 -- where Darius will be able to plead his case.

As we reported ... Keke was spotted out in public Saturday working on what appeared to be a shoot, and she had young Leo with her. She also received a rose bouquet from someone.

Audrina Patridge 15-Year-Old Niece Died from Drug OD Cops Investigating Possible Criminal Charges

Published | Updated

It's been 9 months since the tragic death of Audrina Patridge's 15-year-old niece, Sadie, and cops are working to find out who may have supplied the drugs that killed the young girl.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Sadie's death has officially been ruled a narcotic overdose. However, they've not yet determined the manner of death as there's currently an investigation for possible criminal charges.

Our sources say cops want to figure out how Sadie was able to obtain the drugs.

One source tells us ... Sadie was able to buy Percocet through Snapchat, and it was laced with fentanyl. Of course, if that's the case ... cops will work to determine who sold it to the young teen and charges will likely follow.

You'll remember, the man who supplied Mac Miller with a fatal dose of fentanyl was sentenced to 17.5 years in May of last year after Mac's 2018 death ... so it's very much a serious offense.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It was back in February when Audrina announced the heartbreaking news that Sadie had died, writing, "My beautiful niece is now in heaven. I know Its not goodbye forever, but it is the hardest to say goodbye for now. We will miss you and cherish every single moment we had with you. Rest in peace Say Say!! We love you forever & ever!"

Sadie's death is yet another example of an extremely dangerous fentanyl issue. Her family set up a GoFundMe in Sadie's honor, with funds to be directed to the Sadie Raine Foundation, established to help teens and their families.

AUDRINA PATRIDGE Su SOBRINA DE 15 AÑOS MURIÓ POR sobredosis DE DROGAS

Published | Updated

Han pasado 9 meses desde la trágica muerte de la sobrina de 15 años de Audrina Patridge, Sadie, y la policía está trabajando para averiguar quién pudo haber suministrado las drogas que mataron a la joven.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que la muerte de Sadie ha sido oficialmente dictaminada como una sobredosis de narcóticos. Sin embargo, aún no han determinado la forma de la muerte ya que actualmente hay una investigación por posibles cargos criminales.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la policía quiere averiguar cómo Sadie fue capaz de obtener los medicamentos.

Una fuente nos dice que Sadie fue capaz de comprar Percocet a través de Snapchat y estaba mezclado con fentanilo. Por supuesto, si ese es el caso, los policías trabajarán para determinar quién se lo vendió a la joven adolescente y los cargos probablemente seguirán.

Recordarás que el hombre que le suministró a Mac Miller una dosis fatal de fentanilo fue condenado a 17 años y 5 meses en mayo del año pasado después de la muerte de Mac en 2018, por lo que es un delito muy grave.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Fue en febrero, cuando Audrina anunció la desgarradora noticia de que Sadie había muerto, escribiendo: "Mi hermosa sobrina está ahora en el cielo. Sé que no es un adiós para siempre, pero es el más difícil decir adiós por ahora. Te echaremos de menos y apreciaremos cada momento que pasamos contigo. ¡Descansa en paz Say Say! Te queremos para siempre".

La muerte de Sadie es un ejemplo más de la peligrosidad del fentanilo. Su familia creó un GoFundMe en honor de Sadie, cuyos fondos se destinarán a la Fundación Sadie Raine, creada para ayudar a los adolescentes y sus familias.

Jimi Hendrix Rare Psychedelic Drawings For Sale

Published

A collection of rare, psychedelic drawings by Jimi Hendrix is up for sale ... but fans are gonna need a lot more than a couple impressive guitar licks to score this treasure trove.

Ten drawings by Jimi are being sold by Momentsintime.com -- the guitarist's artwork was drawn with a color pen in the late 1960s ... and as fans know, that's exactly when Jimi's fame rose to an all-time high.

The collection has a price tag of $195k and was originally a part of the Bob & Kathy Levine Collection ... 2 people who worked with Jimi back in the day.

Bob and Kathy actually rushed over to Jimi's home and office in 1970 when the musician died to change the locks -- knowing multiple people had keys to both spots. They wanted to ensure none of his stuff got snatched.

They sent most of Jimi's possessions to his family but kept some mementos -- like these pieces of art -- for themselves. They sold this collection at some point, and it's changed hands over the years ... last hitting the market in 2008.

It's a pretty rocking addition to any superfan's collection ... and BTW, copyrights of 18 pieces of art by Jimi sold in 2004 for $75,270 -- and that was just the copyrights, not even the art itself!

SE VENDEN RAROS DIBUJOS PSICODÉLICOS JIMI HENDRIX

Published

Una colección de raros dibujos psicodélicos de Jimi Hendrix está a la venta, pero los fans van a necesitar bastante dinero si quieren obtener alguno.

Momentsintime.com pone a la venta diez dibujos de Jimi, realizados con un bolígrafo de color a finales de la década de 1960 y, como bien saben los fans, fue precisamente entonces cuando la fama de Jimi alcanzó su punto álgido.

La colección tiene un precio de 195.000 dólares y originalmente formaba parte de la Bob & Kathy Levine Collection, dos personas que trabajaron con Jimi en su día.

Bob y Kathy se apresuraron a ir a la casa y la oficina de Jimi en 1970 (cuando el músico murió), para cambiar las cerraduras, sabiendo que varias personas tenían llaves de ambos lugares. Querían asegurarse de que no robaran nada.

Enviaron la mayoría de las posesiones de Jimi a su familia, pero se quedaron con algunos recuerdos, como estas obras de arte. Vendieron esta colección en algún momento y ha cambiado de manos a lo largo de los años. La última vez que estuvo en el mercado fue en 2008.

¡Es una adición bastante rockera a la colección de cualquier fan!, y por cierto, los derechos de autor de 18 obras de arte de Jimi se vendieron en 2004 por 75.270 dólares, y eso fueron solo los derechos de autor, ¡ni siquiera los dibujos en sí!

PRINCE FIELDER "¡PODRÍA SER MEJOR QUE CECIL Y YO!" Sobre su Hijo Jadyn Fielder

Published | Updated

Hay otro Fielder forjando su camino a la MLB y su padre, Prince Fielder, le dice a TMZ Sports, ¡que el joven podría llegar a ser el mejor de la familia!

Nos encontramos a Prince y a su hijo de 19 años, Jadyn Fielder, en LAX esta semana y cuando le preguntamos si el joven Fielder tenía potencial para ser mejor que papá y el abuelo (tres veces All-Star Cecil Fielder), Prince no se anduvo con rodeos.

"¡Él tiene algo especial!" dijo Prince.

En cuanto a por qué, Prince nos dijo que su hijo ha estado "practicando todos los días", mientras pasaba años en los clubes de la MLB absorbiendo conocimientos de él y de otros jugadores de las Grandes Ligas.

Si bien Prince es sin duda un padre orgulloso, también es evidente que no está vendiendo humo, Jadyn (un jugador de cuadro de 6 pies que juega béisbol en la escuela secundaria en Florida) es considerado como uno de los mejores prospectos en la clase de 2024.

Y, escucha esta, Prince dice que su otro hijo, Haven Fielder (de 17 años), también tiene la oportunidad de hacerse un nombre en un diamante de la MLB algún día.

Esto es todo un acontecimiento teniendo en cuenta que fue hace apenas unos años que los niños eran pequeños.

"Es muy emocionante", dijo el mayor de los Fielder. "Veremos qué pasa".

Prince Fielder On Son, Jadyn Fielder ... He Could Be Better Than Cecil & Me!!!

Published | Updated

There's another Fielder making his way to the MLB ... and this one's father, Prince Fielder, tells TMZ Sports the youngster could turn out to be the best in the family!

We got Prince and his 19-year-old son, Jadyn Fielder, out at LAX this week ... and when we asked if the young Fielder had potential to be better than Dad and Grandpa (three-time All-Star Cecil Fielder), Prince didn't mince words.

"He sure does!" Prince said.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As for why ... Prince told us his kid has been "practicing every day" -- while spending years in MLB clubhouses soaking up knowledge from him and other Big Leaguers.

While Prince is certainly a proud dad, he also clearly isn't blowing smoke ... Jadyn -- a 6-foot infielder who plays high school baseball in Florida -- is regarded as one of the best prospects in the 2024 class.

And, get this ... Prince says his other son, 17-year-old Haven Fielder, has a chance to make a name for himself on an MLB diamond one day too!!

It's all quite the sight ... considering it was just a few years ago that the boys were little tykes watching Prince mash in playoff games and Home Run Derbys -- something that's obviously not lost on Prince.

"It's pretty exciting," the elder Fielder said. "We'll see what happens."

'Black Panther' Stuntman Trick or Treating w/ Family ... Before Fatal Crash

Published | Updated

The "Black Panther" stuntman who was killed in a car crash last week had just wrapped up a night of Halloween fun before the fatal wreck ... TMZ has learned.

Taraja Ramsess' mother, Akili, tells us her son was in the car with 6 others that fateful night -- including his ex-wife, Selena, and a mix of 5 children ... most of whom he'd had with her, and a newborn he shares with his current partner, Lisa, who was at home.

Anyway, we're told Taraja and Selena had just finished taking all the children trick or treating in the Atlanta area and were on their way home when they got in the accident.

As we reported ... Taraja died at the scene, as did two of his daughters -- a 13-year-old and an 8-week-old little girl. His 10-year-old son later died after being taken off life support.

Selena and two daughters she shared with Taraja survived -- they all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, although one of the daughters is still in the hospital. In terms of how Akili heard the tragic news ... she tells us Selena called and was inconsolable.

Akili says it was the worst night of her life, and the heartache of losing her son and grandchildren was compounded by not immediately knowing who was alive and dead.

Apparently, first responders had taken everybody to different hospitals, and it created a confusing/chaotic situation to try and track down everyone in the aftermath. Akili adds, "It's impacted our family. It's now part of us -- our family needs some time to heal and recover and go on with our lives best we can."

Obviously, the entire family is distraught in the wake of all this ... and we're told everybody is trying to cope as best they can in the wake of such an awful catastrophe that claimed so many lives.

Now, in terms of what exactly caused the crash -- remember, Taraja slammed into a tractor-trailer while coming off the freeway -- Akili isn't ready to discuss it. It's under investigation.
