Kanye West Apology Looks Generated By AI Software

Kanye West's apology for his tirade of antisemitic comments lacked the animated flair the megastar rapper typically uses in his online posts ... and it reads straight out of an artificial intelligence chatbot.
After Kanye posted the apology on social media, fans started accusing him of using AI to get his point across ... so we did some digging, and made a shocking discovery.
We plugged Kanye's apology into an AI content detector, which highlighted some strong buzzwords typically associated with chatbot phrases ... including "sincerely apologize," "It was not my intention to hurt" and "promoting unity" ... among others.
The AI content detector says there's an 85% chance Kanye's apology was written by a computer.
Remember ... the day after Christmas, Kanye shocked the world by delivering his "I'm Sorry" speech in Hebrew, which translates to a fairly streamlined message.
The apology reads ... "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."
Doesn't sound like typical Kanye, right?
More evidence Kanye turned to AI to write his apology ... we engaged ChatGPT to write an apology and after several prompts and some trial and error the computer spat out a statement eerily similar to Kanye's.
Here's what we got back from ChatGPT, with the words Kanye used in bold ... "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for my recent unintentional outburst. It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain caused. I'm committed to learning from this experience, promoting unity, and making amends. Your forgiveness means a lot to me."
Of course, Ye's got a star-studded "Vultures" album with Ty Dolla $ign dropping to close out the year on December 31, and getting in the good graces of all the streaming giants is the best play for his music comeback.
We'll know for sure if the fans buy into the mea culpa after his first-week numbers post.
Stay tuned ...

DANNY MASTERSON FIRST MUG SHOT RELEASED ... Transferred to State Prison

Danny Masterson is getting a change of scenery ... he was just transferred to state prison and TMZ has the first look at his first mug shot.
We just obtained the pic ... and the "That '70s Show" star looks none too pleased. Danny's hair and beard look messy, and he's keeping his mouth shut, and not cracking a smile.
As for where Danny is being housed, he checked in Wednesday at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA ... about 143 miles north of Los Angeles.
Danny's new digs are the same prison where rapper Tory Lanez is behind bars. Tory's been locked up there since September, but his sentence is a lot shorter than Danny's.
Remember ... Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life behind bars back in September, after being convicted on two counts of forcible rape.
Before state prison, Danny was being held in L.A. County Men's Central Jail.
As we first reported, Masterson was kept out of general population while awaiting sentencing ... staying in the same area as other high-profile inmates from the past, like Suge Knight and O.J. Simpson.
Following his conviction, Danny's actress wife, Bijou Phillips, filed for divorce ... and he agreed Bijou should have full custody of their 9-year-old daughter.
You'll recall, Masterson was charged with rape back in 2020, with the alleged victims claiming the incidents went down between 2001 and 2003 -- smack in the middle of his work on "That '70s Show."
Danny's maintained his innocence ... claiming the incidents were completely consensual.
Regardless, Danny's now settling into his new life behind bars.

Nick y Aaron Carter Su hermana Bobbie Jean fue encontrada sin respuesta en el baño

La hermana de Nick y Aaron Carter, Bobbie Jean Carter, fue encontrada sin respuesta en un baño el día que murió, al igual que su difunto hermano Aaron.
La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Hillsborough le dice TMZ que los primeros auxilios fueron enviados a la casa de Bobbie en Tampa, Florida, el sábado por la mañana. Allí la encontraron y la llevaron a un hospital cercano, donde fue declarada muerta.
El sheriff dice que los oficiales se enteraron de que Bobbie Jean estaba en libertad condicional por posesión de cocaína cuando murió, pero sus compañeros de cuarto dijeron que no había consumido ningún estupefaciente desde que salió de la cárcel.
Más aún, nos dicen que los oficiales no encontraron ningún narcótico o equipamiento de drogas en el dormitorio de Bobbie Jean o en el baño, y que no había signos de crimen violento.
El sheriff dice que la muerte de Bobbie Jean está bajo investigación y que su causa oficial de muerte será determinada en última instancia por la Oficina del Médico Forense, a la espera de los resultados de toxicología.
Es bastante inquietante saber que Bobbie fue encontrada sin respuesta en un baño, al igual que le pasó a su hermano Aaron.
Recuerden, Aaron murió el año pasado después de ahogarse en su bañera. El informe de la autopsia dijo que el artista quedó incapacitado debido a los efectos de las píldoras de prescripción e inhalar antes de deslizarse bajo el agua y ahogarse.
Bobbie Jean murió a los 41 años, mientras que Aaron tenía 34.
NICK & AARON CARTER SISTER BOBBIE JEAN FOUND UNRESPONSIVE IN BATHROOM

Nick and Aaron Carter's sister, Bobbie Jean Carter, was found unresponsive in a bathroom the day she died ... just like her late brother Aaron.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... first responders were dispatched to Bobbie's Tampa, FL home Saturday morning, they found her and rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was declared dead.
The sheriff says deputies learned Bobbie Jean was on probation for cocaine possession when she died, but her roommates told police she had not used any narcotics since being released from prison.
What's more, we're told deputies did not find any narcotics or drug paraphernalia in Bobbie Jean's bedroom or bathroom ... and there were no signs of foul play.
The sheriff says Bobbie Jean's death is under investigation ... and her official cause of death will be ultimately determined by the Medical Examiner's Office, pending toxicology results.
It's pretty eerie to learn Bobbie was found unresponsive in a bathroom ... because the same thing happened with Aaron.
Remember ... Aaron died last year after drowning in his bathtub. The autopsy report said Aaron became incapacitated due to the effects of prescription pills and huffing before slipping under the water and drowning.
Bobbie Jean died at 41, while Aaron was 34.

PETER ROSENBERG KANYE'S APOLOGY IS BOGUS ... Music Execs Made Him Do It!

Exclusive

Peter Rosenberg's not buying Kanye West's apology for his antisemitic comments ... seconding our observation it reads like something outta an AI chatbot.
We got the radio DJ on "TMZ Live" Wednesday, where he notes Ye's remorse was so inauthentic compared to his usual impassioned messages ... it automatically let him know it was bogus.
In fact ... Peter focuses on the rapper's delayed album "Vultures" ... theorizing he was forced into conjuring up a blanket apology after record execs pressured him into it ... in exchange for clearing some tunes on his album.
Peter blasts Ye further ... telling us his message being written in Hebrew was both intentionally and unintentionally offensive ... as if American Jews could easily read the language without vowels.
Noting his years-long obsession with making offensive comments ... Peter says he doesn't think there'll ever be an apology from Ye that could make people forget the uproar he's caused.
As TMZ first noted ... an AI content detector said there was an 85% chance a computer wrote Kanye's apology.
Strong buzz words usually associated with chat phrases like "sincerely apologize," "It was not my intention to hurt," and "promoting unity" were used -- meaning there's a strong chance it didn't come from his heart.
Even if his remorse was genuine, we totally back Peter's comments ... Ye's done so much damage publicly lashing out at Jews; it wouldn't have been enough ... he'd need a whole apology tour.

Peter Rosenberg La disculpa de Kanye es falsa... ¡Los ejecutivos lo obligaron a hacerlo!

Peter Rosenberg no se está comprando las disculpas de Kanye West por sus comentarios antisemitas y también cree que parece salida de un chatbot de inteligencia artificial.
Tuvimos al DJ en "TMZ Live" el miércoles, en donde señaló que el remordimiento de Ye sonaba poco auténtico en comparación con sus apasionados mensajes habituales, lo que automáticamente le hizo pensar que era falso.
De hecho, Peter se centra en su retrasado álbum "Vultures" y teoriza que el rapero se vio obligado a inventar una disculpa general después de que los ejecutivos discográficos lo presionaran a cambio de despejar algunas melodías en su álbum.
Peter arremete aún más contra Ye, diciendo que su mensaje fuera escrito en hebreo fue a la vez intencionalmente y no intencionalmente ofensivo, como si los judíos estadounidenses pudieran leer fácilmente el idioma sin vocales.
Considerando su obsesión de años haciendo comentarios ofensivos, Peter no cree que exista una disculpa que pueda hacer a la gente olvidar el alboroto que ha causado.
Como TMZ primero señaló, un detector de contenido AI descubrió que había un 85% de posibilidades de que un ordenador hubiera escrito la disculpa de Kanye.
Palabras de moda por lo general asociadas con frases de chat como "sinceramente arrepentido", "No era mi intención herir", y "promover la unidad" fueron utilizadas, lo que significa que hay una gran posibilidad de que no haya venido de su corazón.
Incluso si su remordimiento es genuino, apoyamos totalmente los comentarios de Peter ... Ye ha hecho tanto daño públicamente arremetiendo contra los judíos, que no parece suficiente. Necesitaría hacer una gira para disculparse.

La única copia de la Lista de Schindler está volviendo al mercado de nuevo después de un recorte de precios.
La reliquia histórica está actualmente a la venta por $1.8 millones a través de la compañía de recuerdos Momentos en el Tiempo a través de un coleccionista que obtuvo la lista de la familia de Itzhak Stern contador de Schindler y mano derecha.
Con los años, la lista ha estado a la venta un par de veces ... con su precio de venta siempre por encima de $ 2M - el más alto es de $ 2.5M ... aunque nunca ha tenido ningún comprador.
El coleccionista espera que el precio rebajado sea más asequible ... con el sitio entusiasmado por la oportunidad de "adquirir un artículo de magnitud verdaderamente increíble".
Esta lista, fechada el 18 de abril de 1945, es la penúltima de un total de 7 ... con 14 páginas y 801 nombres.
También es una de las cuatro únicas listas que existen, una de las cuales se encuentra en el Museo del Holocausto de Washington D.C. y las otras dos en el Centro para la Memoria del Holocausto Yad Vashem, en Jerusalén.
La venta de este artículo es especialmente relevante hoy en día ... dado el rápido surgimiento del antisemitismo en medio del conflicto Israel-Palestina.
Los documentos fueron utilizados por el industrial alemán Oskar Schindler, que salvó la vida de más de 1.200 judíos durante el Holocausto empleándolos en sus fábricas de esmaltes y municiones.
Schindler fue el protagonista de la aclamada película de Steven Spielberg "La lista de Schindler" (1993), que recibió siete Oscars por la interpretación de Liam Neeson y Sir Ben Kingsley.

The only copy of Schindler's List ever for sale is hitting the market again ... following a price cut.
The rare historical relic is currently on sale for $1.8 million through memorabilia company Moments in Time ... via a collector who obtained the list from the family of Itzhak Stern -- Schindler's accountant and right-hand man.
Over the years, the list has been up for sale a few times ... with its asking price always over $2M -- the highest being $2.5M ... though it's never had any takers.
The collector hopes the lowered price is more affordable ... with the site gushing over the opportunity to "acquire an item of truly incredible magnitude."
This list, dated April 18, 1945, is the penultimate list of a total of 7 ... coming in at 14 pages long and listing 801 names.
It's also one of the only 4 lists in existence -- one is homed at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C ... the other two are in Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Center Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem.
The sale of this item is especially relevant today ... given the rapidly emerging antisemitism amid the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The docs were used by German industrialist Oskar Schindler ... who saved more than 1,200 Jews' lives during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunition factories.
He was the subject of Steven Spielberg's critically acclaimed 1993 film "Schindler's List" ... with the Liam Neeson/Sir Ben Kingsley-starring movie bagging 7 Oscars.

La estrella del atletismo Allyson Felix disfruta de su segundo embarazo

La 11 veces medallista olímpica Allyson Felix, dice que el embarazo es como un paseo por el parque en esta ocasión y le comenta a TMZ Sports que le encanta no tener que preocuparse por el entrenamiento.
Por supuesto, Felix se convirtió en una defensora de la proteccion materna en el deporte femenino después de que ella perdió dinero de patrocinio durante su primer embarazo, sintiéndose abandonada por tener un niño en camino.
Ahora que se ha retirado del deporte está más a gusto con el proceso, sobre todo porque no tiene una llamada de atención temprana.
"Es totalmente diferente", dijo la estrella de atletismo esta semana. "No estaba lidiando con todo el drama de antes".
"No tengo que entrenar a las 4 de la mañana y hacer todas esas locuras, así que esa parte es buena".
Felix, junto con su esposo, el velocista estadounidense Kenneth Ferguson, anunció el Día de Acción de Gracias que están esperando su segundo hijo para abril de 2024 y la pareja -que se casó en 2018- va a tener un niño.
Las buenas noticias vienen cinco años después de la experiencia potencialmente mortal de Felix con su primer embarazo, cuando tuvo que someterse a una cesárea de emergencia después de un desarrollo de preeclampsia a las 32 semanas.
"Ahora sé muchas cosas y conozco mejor los riesgos y todo lo que experimenté antes", dijo Felix, "Así que esa parte será más fácil".
El traumático incidente motivó a Felix, que se jubiló en 2022, a hablar en favor de las mujeres negras embarazadas, que, según las investigaciones, enfrentan prejuicios raciales en el sistema sanitario.
También está trabajando duro en su empresa de calzado Spaysh y formando parte de la Comisión de Atletas del COI para apoyar a las estrellas del atletismo como ella.
Y aún hay más: Felix nos dio su opinión sobre Sha'Carri Richardson, que ha estado arrasando en el atletismo desde su polémica participación en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio 2021 y a pesar de sus rencillas anteriores, no tiene más que cosas buenas que decir.

11-time Olympic medalist Allyson Felix says pregnancy is like a walk in the park this time around ... telling TMZ Sports she loves not having to worry about training or chaos!!
Of course, Felix became an advocate for maternal protections in women's sports after she lost sponsorship money during her first pregnancy ... leaving her feeling abandoned for having a kid on the way.
Now that she's retired from the sport, she is more at ease with the process ... especially since she doesn't have an early wakeup call.
"It's totally different," the track and field star said this week. "I wasn't dealing with all the drama from before."
"Now, yeah, I don't have to train at 4 o'clock in the morning and do all that crazy stuff so that part is good."
Felix, along with her husband, American sprinter Kenneth Ferguson, announced on Thanksgiving they are expecting their second child in April 2024 ... and the couple -- who married in 2018 -- are having a boy.
The new bundle of joy is five years after Felix's life-threatening experience with her first pregnancy ... when she had to get an emergency C-section following a development of pre-eclampsia at 32 weeks.
"I know a lot now and I kinda know the risks and everything that I experienced before," Felix said, "So, that part, you know, that part is better."
The traumatic incident motivated Felix -- who retired in 2022 -- to speak out for expecting black women, who research says deal with racial bias in the health care system.
She's also working hard on her shoe company Spaysh and being part of the IOC Athletes Commission to support track stars like herself.
There's more -- Felix gave us her thoughts on Sha'Carri Richardson, who has been killin' track and field since her 2021 Tokyo Olympics controversy ... and despite their previous beef, she has nothing but good things to say.

'Jeopardy!' Champ Austin Rogers Ken Earned Sole Daily Host Duty ... Mayim Should Do Specials

One of the biggest "Jeopardy!" champs of all time says the show is in good hands with Ken Jennings ... but he doesn't want Mayim Bialik to vanish completely.
We got Austin Rogers -- who went on a major hot streak in 2017 -- at Gaf East, a bar he just bought in New York City, and we asked him about Mayim announcing her exit as one of the "Jeopardy!" hosts.
Austin says the show will be just fine with Ken taking on an even larger role. Ken's become synonymous with "Jeopardy!" and AR feels he's a big enough name now to soften the blow of Mayim's departure.
Another "Jeopardy!" champ, Amy Schneider agrees ... telling us Ken is the right choice for the everyday hosting gig, in part because he's a big hit with the contestants.
While Mayim says Sony brass told her she won't be hosting the syndicated daily show, the studio is leaving the door open for her to host special episodes ... like "Celebrity Jeopardy" and other primetime tournaments -- and Austin explains why she's a good fit there.
TMZ broke the story ... Mayim's absence during the writers' strike made Sony execs realize they didn't need 2 hosts, and ultimately her loss was Ken's gain.
Austin says Mayim was still right to stand in solidarity with the writers, and he hopes she remains involved ... even if it's not on a daily basis.
Ken's not on Alex Trebek's level yet -- but Austin says he's doing a good job filling those massive shoes.

UPDATE
4:58 PM PT -- Charlie Sheen's neighbor, Electra Schrock, pleaded not guilty in Tuesday's arraignment ... and the court issued a criminal protective order, which requires her to completely stay away from the actor and his residence.
Charlie Sheen's neighbor has officially been charged with a felony after the cops accused her of trying to strangle the actor.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office charged Electra Schrock with one count of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury -- and she's now being held on $75,000 bail, pending her arraignment.
TMZ broke the story … cops were called to Charlie's L.A. apartment last Wednesday after he called 911 to report that Schrock barged into his home and attacked him when he answered her knock on his door.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... Shrock ripped Charlie's shirt and attempted to strangle him before she returned to her own apartment on a higher floor.
Charlie Sheen Cops Say Neighbor Tried To Strangle Him
Given the two are neighbors, police didn't have a tough time tracking down Shrock and arresting her. She was then booked into the L.A. County jail.
This may not have been the first time Shrock had a run-in with Charlie, who allegedly told officers the assault suspect recently squirted a sticky substance on his car.
It's unclear what triggered the alleged incidents.

Kim Zolciak showered her kids with gifts for Christmas despite her financial hardships.
Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she pulled together the dough she's made selling personal items online over the last few months ... ensuring the 4 kids she shares with Kroy Biermann didn't go without Xmas presents this year.
We're told the estranged couple's brood will always be their priority ... and despite the heightened drama between them, they chose not to travel for the holidays and instead were at home for the holiday at their Georgia mansion.
We don't know exactly what gifts she bought, but it must've been a pretty decent haul ... cause K&K have been making some serious $$$ selling designer goods online.
Earlier this month, Kim gave the boot to Kroy's shoe collection, selling them alongside her footwear and handbags ... tempting potential buyers with big names from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Valentino & more.
Of course, they decided to sell, sell, sell due to their mounting lawsuits over unpaid credit card bills.
They've also put their Georgia mansion on sale ... though they recently slashed the $6 mil price by $500K out of desperation.
Meanwhile, they've been squabbling like cats and dogs for months -- with one of their kids calling the cops on them following an explosive argument at their mansion in Nov. -- though it's heartwarming to know the kiddos ended the year with some festive cheer.

Kim Zolciak tuvo regalos de Navidad para sus hijos en medio de problemas financieros
Kim Zolciak no se quedó atrás bajo el árbol de Navidad, ya que llenó a sus hijos y a los de Kroy Biermann de regalos a pesar de sus dificultades financieras.
Fuentes cercanas a la pareja distanciada le dicen TMZ que ella reunió el dinero gracias a la venta de artículos personales en línea los últimos meses, asegurando que los cuatro niños que comparten juntos no se quedaron sin regalos de Navidad de este año.
No dice que sus hijos siempre serán su prioridad y a pesar del drama creciente entre ellos, optó por no viajar para las fiestas y en su lugar de eso celebraron el gran día juntos en su mansión de Georgia.
No sabemos exactamente cuáles fueron los regalos que compró, pero debe haber sido un botín bastante decente porque ha podido hacer buen dinero vendiendo artículos de diseño en línea.
A principios de este mes, Kim se deshizo de la colección de zapatos de Kroy, vendiéndolos junto a algunos bolsos, tentando a los compradores potenciales con grandes nombres de Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Valentino y más.
Por supuesto, decidió vender, vender, vender debido a sus crecientes demandas por impagos de tarjetas de crédito.
También han puesto su mansión de Georgia a la venta a pesar de que recientemente redujo su precio de $6 millones por $500K de la desesperación.
Mientras tanto, han estado discutiendo como perros y gatos durante meses -con uno de sus hijos llamando a la policía después de una discusión explosiva en su mansión en noviembre- aunque es reconfortante saber que los niños terminarán el año con un poco de alegría festiva.
