Flavor Flav is all for Harvard University's Taylor Swift course, noting he's 100% open to enrolling ... and acknowledging he's reached super-fandom.
The Public Enemy rapper spoke to TMZ Hip Hop in NYC outside of ABC Studios Thursday where he listed off the many reasons why the English Department at Harvard will win big with the course, "Taylor Swift and Her World."
Professor Stephanie Burt is prepping the TS coursework to be taught for the upcoming spring semester and Flav tells us it's the perfect course for him and other artists.
Flav says he's actively studied Taylor's lyrics which ultimately birthed his fan club membership card -- which got the platinum stamp during the "Eras" tour in earlier this year.
Flav thinks Taylor's music is completely relatable -- just as much as Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige's -- but he isn't just sizing TS up against other singers.
Flav tells us if Taylor was ever to run for president, neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump would have a chance with her on the ballot ... he's voting Team 1989 all the way!!!

Tiffany Haddish Fiscales de Georgia quieren restringir su consumo de drogas y alcohol tras segundo DUI
Hay que prohibirle a Tiffany Haddish el consumo de drogas y alcohol después de su último arresto por conducir en estado de ebriedad (DUI) en California. Al menos eso es lo que quieren los fiscales de Georgia, donde ella también tiene un caso de DUI.
De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, los fiscales estatales de Georgia quieren que un tribunal modifique las condiciones de fianza de su caso de DUI con el fin de restringir su consumo de alcohol y drogas.
11/23/23
Están pidiendo este cambio luego de la última detención de Tiffany por conducir en estado de ebriedad, que ocurrió la semana pasada en Beverly Hills.
Como les dijimos por primera vez, Tiffany fue detenida la madrugada del viernes pasado después de un concierto la noche de Acción de Gracias en el Laugh Factory. Agentes de la policía de Beverly Hills esposaron y arrestaron a Tiffany. Habían recibido una llamada alrededor de las 5:45 AM de que una persona estaba detenida en medio de Beverly Drive, supuestamente desplomada detrás del volante de un carro, con el motor en marcha.
Recuerden, Tiffany había sido arrestada previamente por este mismo cargo en Georgia en enero de 2022. En ese momento, también la encontraron supuestamente dormida al volante después de haber fumado marihuana.
Tiffany pagó la fianza en ese caso, y ahora con el segundo presunto DUI, los fiscales de Georgia están pidiéndole al tribunal que cambie sus condiciones de fianza para añadir una restricción sobre los narcóticos y el alcohol y exigir pruebas semanales para ambos.
El juez aún no se ha pronunciado.
Tiffany Haddish GA Prosecutors Want to Restrict Drug, Alcohol Use After 2nd DUI

Tiffany Haddish needs to be barred from consuming drugs and alcohol after her latest DUI arrest in California ... at least that's what prosecutors want in Georgia, where she also has a DUI case.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, state prosecutors in Georgia want a court there to modify the bond conditions from her open DUI case to restrict her from using booze and drugs.
11/23/23
They're asking for this change due to Tiffany's latest DUI arrest on the other side of the country ... which happened last week in Beverly Hills.
As we first told you ... Tiffany was arrested early last Friday morning -- after a Thanksgiving night gig at the Laugh Factory -- with Bev Hills PD officers putting Tiffany in handcuffs and arresting her. They'd gotten a call around 5:45 AM about someone stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive, allegedly slumped behind the wheel of a car with the engine running.
Remember ... Tiffany was previously busted for DUI in Georgia back in January 2022, when she was also allegedly asleep behind the wheel after smoking marijuana.
She posted bond in that case, and now with the second alleged DUI, Georgia prosecutors are asking the court to change her bond conditions to add a restriction on narcotics and alcohol, and to require weekly testing for both. The judge hasn't ruled yet.

Eden Sassoon es una mala madre perruna porque permitió que su pastor australiano —Winston— mordiera a una mujer y a su perro, esto de acuerdo a una nueva demanda.
La "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" está siendo demandada por una mujer llamada Olga Mill, quien afirma que Winston la atacó salvajemente ella y a su perro, Gus, mientras daban un paseo en Los Ángeles.
En la demanda —obtenida por TMZ— Mills afirma que estaba paseando a Gus con una correa en una calle allá por agosto, cuando el perro de Eden los atacó salvajemente sin provocación. Mills dice que un hombre llamado Ed Muñoz estaba paseando a Winston, no Eden.
Mill afirma que Winston la mordió tanto que quedó cubierta de cortes y moretones, lo que le provocó una grave infección y tuvo que pasar la noche en el hospital. Ella afirma que Winston mordió a Gus tan mal que necesitó tratamiento y hospitalización en una clínica veterinaria.
En la demanda, Mills afirma que Winston había tenido tendencias violentas de los ataques anteriores a las personas, pero ella dice Eden todavía dejó a Winston en las calles "a sabiendas de que Winston trataría de atacar y morder a cualquiera que tuviera a la vista".
Mills afirma que el presunto ataque del perro la dejó con discapacidad permanente, cicatrices y desfiguración y va detrás de Eden por una tonelada de dinero.
Nos pusimos en contacto con Eden pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

Eden Sassoon is a bad dog mom who allowed her Australian Shepherd, Winston, to bite a woman and her pooch ... this according to a new lawsuit.
'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum is being sued by a woman named Olga Mill, who claims Winston savagely attacked her and her dog, Gus, while on a walk in Los Angeles.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Mills claims she was walking Gus on a leash on a street back in August when Eden's dog viciously and savagely attacked without provocation. Mills says a man named Ed Munoz was walking Winston, not Eden.
Mill claims Winston bit her so badly she was covered in cuts and bruises, resulting in a severe infection requiring an overnight stay in a hospital. She claims Winston bit Gus so badly he needed treatment and hospitalization at a veterinary clinic.
In the suit, Mills claims Winston had known violent and vicious tendencies from previous attacks on people ... but she says Eden still let Winston out on the streets "knowing that Winston would seek to attack and bite anyone in his view."
Mills claims the alleged dog attack left her with permanent disability, scarring and disfigurement ... and she's going after Eden for a ton of money.

John Oates dice que está muy dolido por las acusaciones de su socio musical distanciado, que trató de vender en secreto su mitad de la empresa Hall & Oates.
John presentó una declaración en un tribunal de Tennessee, diciendo que está "profundamente herido" porque Daryl Hall tomó una disputa privada que estaban teniendo y la hizo vergonzosamente pública.
John Oates Says He's Hurt By Daryl Hall's Accusations Over 'Ambush' Sale
Como ya informamos, Hall ha acudido a los tribunales, por lo que afirma fue una maniobra de Oates para vender su parte de "Whole Oats Enterprises", la empresa que formaron para controlar algunos de los activos del grupo.
Hall afirma que Oates lo puso en una situación incómoda al encontrar un comprador al que Hall no quiere. Hall consiguió una orden de restricción temporal, deteniendo la venta hasta que un juez pueda determinar si Oates tenía derecho a hacer el trato.
En su declaración, Oates dice: "Daryl ha sido constante y públicamente inflexible en ser percibido como un individuo y no como parte de un dúo o grupo".
SEPTEMBER 2022
Quedó claro el año pasado, cuando Hall apareció en el podcast "Club Random" de Bill Maher, que no había amor perdido entre los dos.
Oates dice que no puede hablar de los detalles, pero reconoce que "Daryl y yo no hemos estado de acuerdo". La cosa es que quiere que esos mirones sean ojos privados.
Oates insiste en que está tratando de mantener la integridad de Hall & Oates, pero está teniendo problemas porque Hall no quiere trabajar con él.

John Oates says he's gutted by his estranged musical partner's allegations ... that he tried to secretly sell his half of a Hall & Oates enterprise.
John filed a declaration in a Tennessee court, saying he's "deeply hurt" that Daryl Hall took a private dispute they were having and made it embarrassingly public.
As we reported, Hall has gone to court over what he claims was a move by Oates to sell off his share of "Whole Oats Enterprises," the company they formed to control some of the group's assets.
Hall claims Oates ambushed him by finding a buyer whom Hall does not want. Hall got a temporary restraining order, halting the sale until a judge could determine whether Oates had the right to make the deal.
In his declaration, Oates says, "Daryl has consistently and publicly been adamant about being perceived as an individual rather than as part of a duo or group."
SEPTEMBER 2022
It was clear last year when Hall appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, there was no love lost between the two.
Oates says he can't talk about the specifics, but acknowledges "Daryl and I have not seen eye to eye." Thing is ... he wants those peepers to be private eyes.
Oates insists he's trying to maintain the integrity of Hall & Oates, but he's having trouble because Hall will not work with him.

Jeremy Allen White Smoke Break w/ Rosalía in L.A. ... Still Going Strong, Eh???

Jeremy Allen White and Rosalía aren't putting dating rumors to rest -- in fact, they're adding fuel to the fire and lighting a match ... to spark up cigs, and more rumors, no doubt.
TMZ got these photos of "The Bear" actor and the Spanish singer hanging out Wednesday in WeHo ... where they were chopping it up in a parking lot, and enjoying a smoke break in each other's company.
It's kinda funny ... you could argue this scene here is life imitating art a bit -- namely, on Jeremy's end. His character from the TV show is constantly stepping out to inhale a cigarette amid the restaurant chaos ... and while this moment isn't nearly as dramatic, it does feel familiar.
Anyway, JAW and Rosalía ended up talking a bit more -- sans cancer sticks -- and ultimately departed with a nice big hug ... but no kiss, something we know Jeremy ain't shy to do when he's into a new boo.
Still, it's interesting to see them continue to hang amid last month's public farmer's market outing -- where Jeremy was walking around with a huge bouquet of flowers ... which may or may not have been for his new would-be significant other.
Folks thought there was something going on between them then ... and they're sure to keep on believing that after this latest rendezvous.
What adds an extra layer of intrigue here is the fact that Jeremy is still navigating a divorce from his wife, Addison Timlin ... with whom he shares 2 children.
The exes seem to be on good terms, 'cause they're constantly stepping out as a family ... so it would appear they're going about their uncoupling amicably.
Anyway, Jeremy certainly isn't scared to put his personal life on the front street, and with his growing success in the biz, he's only going to get more and more attention the bigger he gets.
The dude's IDGAF vibes are pretty palpable ... he's as down-to-earth as they come.

JEREMY ALLEN WHITE FUMANDO CON ROSALÍA EN L.A. ¿Siguen juntos?

Jeremy Allen White y Rosalía no están poniendo los rumores de citas sobre ellos a descansar, de hecho, le están añadiendo leña al fuego.
TMZ obtuvo fotos del actor de "El Oso" y la cantante española saliendo el miércoles en West Hollywood y se les vio picando en un estacionamiento y disfrutando de un descanso para fumar en compañía del otro.
Esto es curioso... se podría argumentar que esta escena es la vida imitando el arte, es decir, desde el punto de vista de Jeremy. Su personaje de la serie de televisión sale constantemente para fumar un cigarrillo en medio del caos y aunque este momento no es tan dramático, resulta familiar.
De todos modos, Jeremy y Rosalía terminaron hablando un poco más y finalmente se fue con un buen abrazo grande, más no un beso, algo que sabemos Jeremy no es tímido para nada.
Sin embargo, es interesante ver que siguen pasando el rato en medio de la salida pública del mes pasado al mercado de agricultores, donde Jeremy se paseaba con un enorme ramo de flores, que puede o no puede haber sido para su nueva pareja.
La gente pensaba que había algo entre ellos y están seguros de que siguen juntos.
Lo que añade una capa extra de intriga aquí es el hecho de que Jeremy todavía está navegando por el divorcio de su esposa, Addison Timlin, con quien comparte dos hijos.
Los dos parecen estar en buenos términos, porque están constantemente saliendo como una familia, por lo que parece que van sobre su desacoplamiento de manera amistosa.
De todos modos, Jeremy ciertamente no tiene miedo de poner su vida personal en la calle principal y con su creciente éxito en el negocio, solo va a obtener más y más atención cuanto más grande se hace. Las vibraciones de "me importa un carajo" del chico son bastante palpables... tiene los pies en la tierra.

Some folks are taking issue with Farrah leaving her teenage daughter behind to go on an overseas trip with a mystery man over the holidays ... threatening to call CPS on her.
But, Farrah says her daughter would never go on a couples birthday trip with her, and the kid always has a caretaker when she's out of town. In other words, no reason to call CPS. Farrah says her daughters safety is high priority and she abides by all laws as a responsible parent.
TMZ broke the story ... Farrah made her new BF sign an NDA after meeting him on OF and then matching on a dating app, as she tries to take extra steps to make sure he isn't using her for fame for online clout.
Farrah says her new boo had no issue signing the NDA ... and she clears the air on the nature of her relationship and claps back at her critics.

Dr. Drew On Israel-Hamas War Child Hostages Scarred for Life ... Conflict Hardest on Developing Brains

Dr. Drew Pinsky says children swept up in the war between Israel and Hamas are going to be dealing with the fallout for the rest of their lives, because it could very well rewire their brains.
The famous doc joined us for Thursday's "TMZ Live" to discuss the youngest hostages Hamas released this week to Israel. Although they seem okay, outwardly, Dr. Drew says, there's potential for tremendous internal damage involving the development of their brains.
As the trauma builds, Dr. Drew says most kids will start to shut down and dissociate ... and many will have their brains shattered and rewired, creating lasting psychological harm.
And, he adds this painful prognosis doesn't only apply to the hostages ... Drew says the ongoing conflict can have the same impact on children living in Gaza, surrounded by death and destruction.
Add in the fact some of these kids are coming off another traumatic experience during COVID shutdowns, and Dr. Drew explains why it's a toxic mix for youth.
He also warns the media attention the released hostages are getting can be problematic. While there's a natural desire to celebrate the young survivors ... he told us how having cameras and mics in their faces could make recovery more difficult for them.

Zedd has snagged Encino's most expensive sale this year ... putting down a hefty $18.4M on the one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece.
Real estate sources tell TMZ the DJ dropped a pretty penny on the 40,075 square foot property named ODIN by celeb designer Jae Omar and developer, JVE Development ... the same visionary behind his other Encino sanctuary he purchased from Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in 2021.
Zedd's clearly a loyal enthusiast of Omar's work, and it's not a stretch to see why.
The Scandi/Japanese-inspired pad has all the modern touches you could ever think of ... angled wooden rooms to diffuse light perfectly, floating architectural staircases and meditative water features.
Of course, the 8-bedroom abode comes with all the celeb musts ... a guest house, Olympic-sized swimming pool, indoor/outdoor wellness spa, fitness area, bowling alley and more.
Zedd's lavish purchase comes after he off-loaded his Beverly Hills pad for $18.5M earlier this year ... with the new homeowner bagging a discount after it was initially listed for just under $23M in June.
Sally Forster Jones of Compass and Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman represented the seller, while David Kramer and Andrew Buss at Hilton & Hyland repped the buyer.

Israel-Hamas War Mom of Unreleased Hostage Calls Elon's Israel Visit Sincere
-
Exclusive
- 103 shares
Rachel Goldberg, whose son is one of the unreleased Israeli hostages, thinks Elon Musk's visit to her country was a sincere effort to better understand what she and so many other families are going through.
Rachel Goldberg joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" to discuss the ongoing release of women and children held by Hamas for more than 7 weeks. Dozens have been returned to Israel in recent days, during a temporary ceasefire that's currently set to end this week.
Her own son, Hersch Goldberg-Polin, has yet to see freedom -- and yet, Rachel has continued to be a front-facing unofficial spokesperson on behalf of all the hostage families ... a painstaking reality she says she struggles with daily.
Rachel says that while Hamas still has her own flesh and blood captive, she recognizes the value of serving as a voice for everyone else -- and thinks it's her duty to continue doing so.
As for Elon -- who's been criticized for using Israel in a cold PR move after he was accused of antisemitism -- Rachel tells us she actually believes his heart's in the right place, and, to her, he came across as earnestly interested in learning/sympathizing.
Rachel was among a few family members of hostages who showed them footage from Oct. 7 ... including the horrifying moment Hersch was snatched up by Hamas after his left arm was blown apart during the attack.
She also talked about the ongoing protests in the U.S. and beyond ... namely, pro-Palestine ones, where people have decried Israel's response in Gaza, and its treatment of innocent Palestinians caught in the middle of the war.
Rachel's response might surprise some ... she says she actually feels for the innocent Palestinians -- and even says Palestine does, in fact, have a right to operate as its own state with dignity and freedom.
Her rationale boils down to the ol' two-things-can-be-true-at-once POV, and she says if she can say that about Gaza/Palestine ... it should also be easy for folks to condemn Hamas' violence.
