Taylor Swift No Apology from Kim K Over Leaked 'Famous' Call with Kanye
-

There's a good reason Taylor Swift called out Kim Kardashian in TIME over a now 7-year-old phone call with Kanye West -- it's an incident for which Kim still has not apologized ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Kim has never said sorry to Taylor over the notorious "Famous" phone call between Taylor and Kanye in 2016 ... the one Kim and Ye released, attempting to show Taylor was cool with the song's racy line about her.
Remember, at the time of the track's release, Taylor expressed outrage over Ye's lyric ... "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex // Why? I made that bitch famous." In response to Taylor's anger, Kim posted her version of the recorded phone call in an effort to prove Taylor understood exactly what the song would include.
However, the full unedited version of the recorded call eventually came out, and it became clear Kanye had not revealed he'd refer to Taylor as a "bitch."
Our sources say Kim's never apologized to Taylor for the call -- and even after the Time article, it's still crickets.
Interestingly, we're told Taylor would actually accept an apology from Kim on this issue, even all these years later, but only under one specific condition ... it would have to be done publicly.
As one source put it to us, a public shaming calls for a public "I'm sorry."
Our sources say Taylor still feels like Kim and Kanye were in the wrong ... and she was dumbfounded when Kim doubled down on her position even after the full, unedited version of their call got published.
From Kim's POV -- which she made clear in tweets at the time, and in subsequent interviews -- the fact Taylor was looped in on the song, period, vindicated her and Kanye ... but we're told Taylor's position has always been about the use of the word "bitch."
Kim downplayed that in a GQ piece ... saying all rappers use that term, and that it was NBD -- and while this might sound like a lot of hair-splitting ... we're told Taylor still feels she was seriously wronged in the framing of all that, something she touched on in her TIME interview.
Again, we're told Taylor is still willing to bury the hatchet with Kim -- who has since divorced Kanye -- but at this point, our sources say the 2 women have no relationship.
Even more context to all this is, of course, Kanye's infamous tirade interrupting Taylor's 2009 VMAs acceptance speech -- an old feud that got relitigated with the phone call saga in 2016 ... and is now being reopened yet again in 2023.
Based on her current feelings about the whole mess, it's clear TS feels she deserves an apology -- but, luckily, she doesn't seem to be holding her breath for it.

Sam Asghari About Britney & Her Dad ... Who and Who? Happy Holidays!!!

Britney and Jamie Spears possibly reconciling is something Sam Asghari certainly has an opinion about, but getting him to share it ... well, that's another story, especially when the guy's got Christmas on the mind.
We got Britney's ex-husband out Wednesday in L.A., on the heels of our report about Brit warming to the idea of burying the hatchet with her old man after his recent leg amputation.
Keep in mind, Sam's the guy who once called Jamie a "d***" ... so, of course, we wanted to get his opinion on the potential father and child reunion.
Britney Spears' Dad Jamie Had Leg Amputated
Check out the interaction, for yourself -- Sam was happy to send season's greetings to the Spears fam, but beyond that ... well, you'll have to read his face.
He refused to answer questions about his ex-wife and ex-father-in-law ... and trust us, we tried every angle, including bringing up Britney and Lynne reuniting last week.
His shutdown might be a sign he's done talking about BS and her family drama, but more likely ... he and his ex have agreed not to speak about each other in public.
Remember, Brit and Sam filed for divorce earlier this year -- and late last month, we learned they were close to a settlement. So, it makes sense he's not looking to sink any ships with loose lips.
He was happy to chat about the approaching holiday season ... and perhaps he's subliminally sending Brit and co. some good vibes here.

La reconciliación entre Britney y Jamie Spears podría ser de interés para Sam Asghari, aunque él solo tiene una cosa en mente... Papá Noel y las multas de aparcamiento.
Tuvimos al ex marido de Britney —que una vez insultó a su padre en cámara— en Los Ángeles el miércoles, justo después de nuestro informe de que Brit estaba abierta a hacer las paces con su viejo en medio de la amputación de su pierna.
Por supuesto, le preguntamos a Sam todo al respecto con la esperanza de obtener su opinión sobre el asunto, pero por desgracia, el tipo solo nos enviaba saludos de temporada y evasivas.
El padre de Britney Spears sufrió la amputación de una pierna
Compruébelo usted mismo, Sam se negó a responder a cualquiera de nuestras preguntas acerca de su ex esposa y ex suegro y no mentimos cuando te decimos que lo intentamos todo para que hablara, incluso le mencionamos de que Britney y Lynne se reunieron la semana pasada.
Una vez más... pese a que se podría pensar que estaría dispuesto a hablar de todo y de todos, no fue así. De todas maneras se nota que mantiene un afecto especial por la cantante.
Recordemos que Brit y Sam pidieron el divorcio a principios de este año, y a finales del mes pasado, nos enteramos de que estaban sellando un acuerdo, y esta podría ser la razón por la que Sammy no quiere hablar.
Lo que estaba feliz de charlar, sin embargo, fue la perspectiva de su coche conseguir dinged (legalmente) para el estacionamiento indebido, pero nuestro fotog le vio a través de su viaje hasta el final y parecía estar bien.
Como dice Sam, ¡felices fiestas a todos!
TRAVIS KELCE GAME-WORN JERSEY SELLS FOR $37K ... Taylor Swift Effect?!?

Travis Kelce is no stranger to breaking records on the field, and now he's doing so off as well ... with a game-used jersey auctioning off for a hefty price.
The jersey, worn by Travis in the Chiefs 2019 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City, and a game in which TK scored a TD just went for an eye-watering $37K on Goldin Auctions. The sale marks an all-time record for a Travis game-used item for the auction house.
Auction owner, Ken Goldin, tells us, "This is an all-time record for a Travis Kelce game-used item. He has always been popular but the success of the Chiefs, as well as the publicity he's gotten around his relationship with Taylor Swift, has added to his popularity and awareness among collectors."
Ken's clearly stating the obvious, though ... as the frenzy surrounding his romance with Taylor has been like nothing we've seen before. Not all NFL fans have been happy with Swift's presence at the games, stating she's been a distraction ... especially during broadcasts.
However, as Taylor explained in her TIME Magazine profile after being named Person of the Year, she's merely there to "support Travis" ... and doesn't care about the attention from fans.

Travis Kelce no es ajeno a romper récords en el campo y ahora lo está haciendo fuera, ya que una camiseta usada se subastó por un precio considerable.
La camiseta usada por Travis en 2019 durante la victoria contra los Chargers de Los Ángeles es el objeto en cuestión. La suma alcanzó los $37K en Goldin subastas. La venta marca un récord histórico para un Travis en el mundo de las subastas.
El propietario de la subasta, Ken Goldin, nos dice que está casi seguro de que la publicidad en torno a la relación de Kelce con Taylor Swift ha aumentado su popularidad entre los coleccionistas.
Ken está diciendo algo bastante obvio, sin embargo, el frenesí que rodea su romance con Taylor no ha sido como nada que hayamos visto antes. No todos los fans de la NFL han estado contentos con la presencia de Swift en los juegos, afirmando que ha sido una distracción, especialmente durante las transmisiones.
Sin embargo, tal como Taylor explicó en su perfil de la revista TIME después de ser nombrada Persona del Año, ella simplemente está allí para "apoyar a Travis" y no le importa la atención de los fans.

A trio of manatees, including 2 former mates named Romeo and Juliet -- are finally being relocated after a viral video showed their isolated conditions, and the guy who helped make it happen is glad something's finally happening.
Phil Demers is the head of a whistleblower org called UrgentSeas, and a video he posted last month blew up on the Internet -- it showed the manatees, specifically Romeo, toiling in despair at the Miami Seaquarium.
Romeo's counterpart, Juliet, was being kept separately and also alone in the Seaquarium ... not to mention a third manatee named Clarity. After Demers published his video though, public backlash forced the company's hand.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
Sadly, it doesn't sound like Romeo and Juliet are going to be reunited anytime soon ... and they probably won't even be released into the wild, and Demers tells us why. Still, the fact the manatees are going to better facilities with proper care is a 'W' in his book.
He says the fact this is happening is proof public pressure can, in fact, spur positive change and he's glad the manatees will get a new lease on life.
The Miami Seaquarium, meanwhile, said this was the plan all along ... although, it's unclear if anyone's really buying that.

Henry Winkler está aplaudiendo al legendario productor Norman Lear por causar un enorme impacto en la industria televisiva de Estados Unidos y más aún en la sociedad americana.
Siendo él mismo un icono de televisión, "The Fonz" se unió a nosotros el miércoles en "TMZ Live" y admitió que no es fácil encontrar las palabras adecuadas para describir a alguien como Norman, que logró tanto en la vida, con "gracia, inteligencia y diversión".
Henry compartió una anécdota sobre la fiesta de cumpleaños de Norman, cuando cumplió 101 años, y alguien le preguntó cómo se sentía al llegar a esa edad. Él ingeniosamente le respondió: "¡No tan bien como me sentiré a los 102!".
Su punto es que Norman, quien falleció el martes, siempre fue un tipo con visión de futuro, que utilizó su arte para ayudar a los estadounidenses a ver lo mejor y lo peor de sí mismos, abordando temas como la homosexualidad, el racismo, la guerra de Vietnam y los derechos de la mujer, cosas que nunca se habían hecho antes en la televisión.
En cuanto a Henry, su libro de memorias "Being Henry: The Fonz ... and Beyond" pronto cumplirá un mes entre los más vendidos del New York Times y después de 50 años en el mundo del espectáculo nos cuenta por qué recién está descubriendo a su verdadero yo.
Hay que ver la metáfora perfecta que nos soltó para resumir su impresionante carrera. Es fácil ver por qué Henry es conocido como el tipo más simpático de Hollywood.

Henry Winkler is applauding legendary producer Norman Lear for making an enormous impact on America's TV landscape, and even bigger ... on American society.
Being a TV icon himself, "The Fonz" joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and admitted it's not easy to find the right words to describe someone like Norman, who accomplished so much in life, with "grace, intelligence, and fun."
Henry shared an anecdote about Norman's 101st birthday party, where someone asked how he felt about reaching that age, and he wittily responded ... "Not as good as I'll be at 102!"
His point being, Norman -- who passed away Tuesday -- was always a forward-thinking guy, who used his art to help Americans see the best and worst in themselves ... tackling topics like homosexuality, racism, the Vietnam War and women's rights -- which had never been done before on TV.
As for Henry ... well, his memoir, "Being Henry: The Fonz ... and Beyond," is approaching one month on the New York Times Bestseller list -- and after 50 years in showbiz, he told us why he's just now discovering his true self.
Ya gotta see the perfect metaphor he dropped on us to encapsulate his awesome career. Easy to see why Henry's known as the nicest guy in Hollywood!

Bam Margera finalmente consiguió la luz verde para ver a su hijo, esto después de cruzar recientemente un gran hito en la sobriedad y tiene planes para ver al niño para la Navidad. TMZ ha iondagado.
David Glass —el abogado que representa a la esposa separada de Bam, Nikki— nos dice que la ex estrella de "Jackass" ha concedido visitas supervisadas para ver a su hijo pequeño, Phoenix. Se nos dice Bam puede ver Phoenix con un supervisor profesional siempre y cuando sea en el sur de California, que es donde Nikki vive con el niño.
Glass dice que ni él ni su cliente han sido informados acerca de cualquier fecha potencial para Bam ver Phoenix, aunque nos dicen lo contrario por Bam.
El propio Margera le dice a TMZ que no ha visto a Phoenix en persona desde hace más de 200 días y está decidido a visitar a su hijo justo alrededor de Navidad... nos informan que pasa a ser el cumpleaños del niño también.
Bam dice que esto es desde hace mucho tiempo, ya que afirma que sólo se ha permitido FT llamadas con Phoenix hasta ahora - y como tal, Papá Oso está todo listo para conducir a Cali para pasar algún tiempo de calidad con él. Nos dicen que Bam viene con un saco lleno de regalos, también, para Phoenix.
Al parecer, Bam había comprado $ 5,000 en regalos para su hijo - pero debido a todo el drama legal últimamente, no ha sido capaz de darles a Phoenix todavía ... aunque, Bam dice que va a recoger estos juguetes de la casa de un amigo en Burbank cuando llegue a la ciudad.
Como hemos informado, Bam recientemente logró estar más de 100 días sobrio, lo cual es una gran victoria para él en muchos aspectos. Bam nos dice que el juez en su caso de divorcio ha estado monitoreando este progreso cuidadosamente y pareciera que la decisión de concederle visitas se debe a su sobriedad.
Ahora todo lo que tiene que hacer es llamar a Nikki y contarle sus planes. 😅
Bam Margera Scores Monitored Visitation w/ Son Plans Xmas/Bday Meetup

Bam Margera finally got the green light to see his son -- this after recently crossing a huge milestone in sobriety -- and he has plans to see the boy for Christmas ... TMZ has learned.
David Glass -- the attorney repping Bam's estranged wife, Nikki -- tells us the former "Jackass" star has, indeed, been granted monitored visitation with their young son, Phoenix. We're told Bam can see Phoenix with a professional supervisor if/when he's in Southern California ... which is where Nikki lives with the kid.
As of right now, however, Glass says neither he nor his client have been informed about any potential dates for Bam to see Phoenix.
BM himself tells TMZ ... since he hasn't seen Phoenix in person for well over 200 days now, he's dead set on visiting his son right around Christmas -- which we're told happens to be the kid's birthday as well.
Bam says this is long overdue, as he claims to have only been allowed FT calls with Phoenix up until now -- and as such, Papa Bear is going to be flying into Los Angeles this month for an event and wants to spend some quality time with him. We're told Bam's coming with a sack full of presents, too, for Phoenix.
Apparently, Bam had purchased $5,000 worth of gifts for his kid -- but because of all the legal drama lately, he hasn't been able to give them to Phoenix just yet.
As we reported ... Bam recently hit over 100 days sober, which is a major win for him in so many respects. Bam tells us the judge in his divorce case has been monitoring this progress carefully -- and feels like the decision to grant him visitation is due to his sobriety.
Now all he has to do is have his lawyers call Nikki's lawyer and make them aware of what he wants to do.

We reached out to reps for the pair ... so far, no word back.
The costars confirmed their romance in April ... with Ryan sharing a smitten IG snap of them kissing in front of a bonfire, captioning it: "More than a spark🔥."

Ella recordó correr hacia su apartamento luego de que él le envió textos alarmantes —todos escritos en tiempo pasado— y luego lo encontró inconsciente luego de haber tomado vodka y comestibles de hierba.
Claramente decidieron dejar todo ese drama en el pasado para disfrutaban de un día soleado.
¿Sabían o no que sus respectivos ex se estaban viendo?
Al parecer, Marilee Fiebig y Andrew Shue están saliendo, y lo llevan haciendo desde hace unos 6 meses. Al parecer, buscaron consuelo el uno en el otro por sus divorcios de los presentadores de televisión.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are making the most of a new chapter in their lives ... spending some downtime hand-in-hand ahead of their podcast launch, and the shocking news their exes are dating.
We got these shots of the former 'GMA' anchors strollin' around Santa Monica and heading toward the famous pier on Friday. The couple held hands the whole time during their casual excursion ... which came a few days before the very revealing first episode of their podcast.
As we reported, Amy detailed the day she feared T.J. had killed himself as they were getting the boot from their ABC jobs over their secret romance.
She recalled racing over to his pad after he began sending her alarming texts -- all written in the past tense -- and finding him in an unconscious state ... after he'd pounded vodka and weed edibles.
They were clearly putting all that drama in their rearview as they enjoyed a sunny SoCal day.
What's interesting, though, is whether or not they knew, at that point, their respective exes were hooking up.
Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue are reportedly dating, and have been for about 6 months. They reportedly sought solace in each other over their divorces from the TV hosts.
Sooo ... happy endings all around? It certainly seems that way for T.J. and Amy, who were also all over each other last weekend as they attended a Jingle Ball event.
Everybody moves on.
