Warren Moon says if he were coaching the Ravens, he wouldn't sit Lamar Jackson, Odell Beckham Jr. or any other starter this week -- telling TMZ Sports he believes the moves could seriously ruin their chances at a Super Bowl.

Of course, with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already locked up, John Harbaugh revealed earlier this week Jackson and several others will take a seat on the bench against the Steelers on Saturday in order to stay healthy for the postseason.

Moon, though, doesn't think that idea's so great ... explaining that because Baltimore has a bye in the first round of the playoffs, there's now a far greater chance the squad will be rusty when it finally kicks off its divisional round game in more than two weeks.

"As a football player," the Hall of Famer said, "you want to stay within that routine and that habit of what you've been going through the whole season to make you successful."

Moon said he's by no means advocating playing Jackson and co. the full game against Pittsburgh -- he just thinks a few series could mitigate any potential problems down the road.

"That's the only thing that concerns about this team and some of the guys that they're sitting down," the ex-quarterback said. "How sharp are they going to be in three weeks after going through a season where they're used to playing week after week after week?"

In addition to Jackson ... three other starters -- Beckham, Marlon Humphrey and Kevin Zeitler -- have already been ruled out. Star rookie Zay Flowers and star defensive back Kyle Hamilton appear poised to miss the game too.

Nonetheless, Moon still believes the Ravens have done enough to show him they're the NFL's best heading into 2024.

Polo G is feeling optimistic about 2024, especially if this leap year can boost the 2 things he cares about most -- making money and finally getting his delayed album off the ground!!!

We recently caught up with Polo in Bev Hills while he was doing some shopping with his sister Leia, and he made a vow to pad his discography by dropping more music.

Fans were eager for Polo G to drop last September, and he had told us he was just as excited, but legal issues put his "Hood Poet" album release on ice ... the kind that's slow to melt.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Polo and his brother Trench Baby were arrested in August 2023 following a police raid where Polo was charged with gun possession, and his bro is being accused of a drive-by murder.

Polo tells us he's still sticking with the "Hood Poet" title -- the single "Barely Holdin' On" was used as a charitable vessel for the music video's actors.

Polo G se siente optimista con respecto a 2024... sobre todo si el año bisiesto actual puede impulsar todas las cosas que le importan: ¡el dinero y sacar adelante su retrasado álbum!

Nos encontramos con Polo en Bev. Hills, cuando estaba haciendo algunas compras con su hermana Leia, y nos dijo que próximamente va a haber más música.

Los fans estaban ansiosos el pasado mes de septiembre. El rapero dijo estar emocionado, pero que tuvo que detener el lanzamiento de "Hood Poet" por problemas legales.

TMZ Hip Hop publicó la historia, Polo y su hermano Trench Baby fueron detenidos en agosto de 2023 después de una redada policial donde Polo fue acusado de posesión de armas, y su hermano está siendo acusado de asesinato.

Polo nos dice que sigue manteniendo el título de "Hood Poet": el single "Barely Holdin' On" se utilizó como recipiente benéfico para los actores del video musical.

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was told to paint famed attorney Alan Dershowitz as a pedophile to make a book about her sex abuse claims more appealing to publishers ... according to newly unsealed court documents.

The docs, obtained by TMZ, include email correspondence between Giuffre and U.K. journalist Sharon Churcher from May 2011 ... Giuffre is telling Churcher she found a ghostwriter to pen her story, and says, "I wanted to put the names of these a**holes, oops I meant to say, pedo's, that J.E. sent me to."

Churcher's response ... "Don't forget Alan Dershowitz... JE's buddy and lawyer -good name for your pitch as he repped Claus von Bulow and a movie was made about that case."

Churcher added ... "We all suspect Alan is a pedo and tho no proof on that, you probably met him when he was hanging out with JE."

Attorneys for Esptein's close associate Ghislaine Maxwell -- who Guiffre is suing -- allege Giuffre only added Dershowitz to her manuscript after that exchange with Churcher ... but, even then, Giuffre did not allege she had sex with him, and only referred to Dershowitz as Epstein's business acquaintance.

According to the docs, Giuffre did not accuse Dershowitz of having sex with her until years later ... December 2014. Dershowitz has always denied that allegation.

Another email between Giuffre and Churcher includes an allegation about Bill Clinton and Vanity Fair.

Giuffre writes ... "When i was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E."

A la víctima de Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre se le dijo que pintara al famoso abogado Alan Dershowitz como un pedófilo para hacer más atractivo para los editores el libro sobre sus denuncias de abuso sexual, esto, de acuerdo a los documentos judiciales recientemente desclasificados.

Los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, incluyen correspondencia electrónica entre Giuffre y la periodista británica Sharon Churcher de mayo de 2011. Giuffre le dice a Churcher que encontró un escritor fantasma para escribir su historia y añade: "Yo quería poner los nombres de estos a**holes (idiotas), oops quise decir, pedo's, que J.E. me envió".

La respuesta de Churcher: "No te olvides de Alan Dershowitz, amigo y abogado de JE -buen nombre para tu lanzamiento, ya que representó a Claus von Bulow y se hizo una película sobre ese caso".

Churcher añadió: "Todos sospechamos que Alan es un pedófilo y aunque no hay pruebas de ello, probablemente lo conociste cuando salía con JE".

Los abogados del socio cercano de Esptein, Ghislaine Maxwell -a quien Guiffre está demandando- alegan que Giuffre solo añadió a Dershowitz a su manuscrito después de ese intercambio con Churcher, pero incluso entonces, Giuffre no alegó que haya tenido relaciones sexuales con él y solo se refirió a Dershowitz como un conocido de negocios de Epstein.

Según los documentos, Giuffre no acusó a Dershowitz de tener relaciones sexuales con ella hasta años más tarde, en diciembre de 2014. Dershowitz siempre ha negado esa acusación.

Otro correo electrónico entre Giuffre y Churcher incluye una acusación sobre Bill Clinton y Vanity Fair.

Giuffre escribe: "Cuando estaba haciendo algunas investigaciones sobre VF ayer, me preocupa lo que podrían querer escribir sobre mí, teniendo en cuenta que Bill Clinton entró en VF y los amenazó con no escribir artículos de tráfico sexual sobre su buen amigo J.E."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard says she's a totally different person from when she started her prison stay, but reveals she's become the woman she always dreamed she'd be.

ABC News' "Good Morning America" scored the first TV sit-down interview with the famous felon, who says she got tons of life experience during her 7 years behind bars.

In the clip, obtained exclusively by TMZ, Gypsy tells "20/20" co-anchor and ABC's senior national affairs correspondent, Deborah Roberts that prison time taught her life lessons, and she's super proud of the woman it helped to shape post-prison life.

The way Gypsy sees it ... she matured through trial and error in prison just like everyone else, even those people outside prison walls.

Of course, most of her personal life from behind bars is now public ... especially her romance with husband, Ryan, who she married during lockup. As we reported, haters attacked Ryan and Gypsy, but she stood by her man ... and his game in the bedroom.

Ryan also joined Gypsy for the GMA interview.

Jonathan Majors is ready to talk after his high-profile guilty verdict ... and he's going with ABC News for his first sit-down interview since his trial ... TMZ has learned.

The embattled actor -- who was convicted on assault and harassment charges last month in his Manhattan criminal trial -- will break his silence with ABC News Live 'Prime' anchor Linsey Davis.

The network tells us their exclusive interview with Jonathan will premiere Monday on 'Good Morning America' ... and the extended interview will stream on ABC News Live‘s “Prime with Linsey Davis” Monday at 7:00 p.m. EST.

It will be interesting to see what Jonathan has to say here ... he's been mum since a jury found him guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex, Grace Jabbari.

We've seen Jonathan alone in New York City and with girlfriend Meagan Good another time landing in Los Angeles since the guilty verdict came down.

It's interesting Jonathan is going with ABC here ... ABC is a division of Disney, which dropped JM from his big movie role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Jonathan Majors está listo para hablar después de su veredicto de culpabilidad y decidió hacerlo con ABC News para una primera entrevista frente a frente desde su juicio.

El actor, que fue condenado por cargos de agresión y acoso el mes pasado en Manhattan, hablará con ABC News Live 'Prime' y su presentador Linsey Davis.

La cadena nos dice que la entrevista exclusiva con Jonathan se emitirá el lunes en "Good Morning America" y la entrevista ampliada se emitirá en "Prime with Linsey Davis" de ABC News Live el lunes por la noche a las 19:00 EST.

Será interesante ver lo que Jonathan tiene que decir ... El actor ha estado mudo desde que un jurado lo declaró culpable de agredir y acosar a su ex, Grace Jabbari.

Desde que se conoció el veredicto, hemos visto a Jonathan solo en la ciudad de Nueva York y en otra oportunidad con su novia Meagan Good en Los Angeles.

Es interesante que Jonathan haya decidido ir con ABC.... ABC es parte de Disney, quien lo despidió de su gran papel en la película del universo cinematográfico Marvel.

Logan Paul dice que está comprometiendo más de 2.3 millones de dólares para corregir los errores de su fracasado CryptoZoo y también está presentando una demanda contra la gente que afirma que descarriló su juego.

Logan está cumpliendo su promesa de volver a comprar Base Egg y Base Animal tokens no fungibles de CryptoZoo, por su precio de compra original a través de un sitio web donde los inversores pueden presentar reclamaciones.

Recordemos que Logan anunció el juego CryptoZoo en 2021, facturando el proyecto animado NFT como "un juego muy divertido que hace dinero." Según se informa, el juego se inspiró en Pokémon y a las personas que pagaron $1.100 se les dijo que podían incubar, criar, coleccionar y comercializar híbridos de animales exóticos en la blockchain. La primera tanda de 11.000 NFT se agotó rápidamente, pero CryptoZoo nunca llegó a comercializarse.

Logan dice que tenía "las mejores intenciones" para CryptoZoo y "nunca ganó un solo centavo con el proyecto". Dice que gastó $400K desarrollando el juego y dice que se completó a principios de 2023, pero no fue lanzado debido a "obstáculos con la regulación que no comprendía realmente en un principio".

Logan añade: "Al igual que usted, yo estaba muy decepcionado porque el juego no fue entregado".

Logan dice que su programa de recompra de 2.3 millones de dólares "no está destinado a compensar a aquellos que apostaron en el mercado de criptomonedas y perdieron".

Además de la recompra de NFT, Logan también está tomando medidas legales, alegando en una nueva demanda que el desarrollador principal de CryptoZoo —Eduardo Ibáñez— y el "Crypto King" Jake Greenbaum son los culpables del fracaso del juego y no él.

En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, una de las primeras banderas rojas en el proyecto ocurrió justo después del día de lanzamiento, con la actividad comercial sospechosa sucediendo, donde parecía docenas de personas ajenas al proyecto que de alguna manera obtuvieron información de la existencia del nuevo mercado de ZOO Tokens.

La demanda afirma que la actividad comercial poco clara hizo que la capitalización de mercado de ZOO Tokens cayera de unos 130 millones de dólares a 26 millones de dólares.

Logan Paul says he's committing more than $2.3 million to right the wrongs of his failed CryptoZoo ... and he's also filing a lawsuit against the folks he claims derailed his game.

Logan's delivering on his promise to buy back Base Egg and Base Animal non-fungible tokens from CryptoZoo for their original purchase price ... via a website where investors can submit claims.

Remember ... Logan announced the CryptoZoo game back in 2021, billing the animated NFT project as "a really fun game that makes you money." The game reportedly drew inspiration from Pokémon and folks who paid .1 Ethereum were told they could hatch, breed, collect and trade  exotic animal hybrids on the blockchain. The first wave of 11,000 NFTs quickly sold out but CryptoZoo was never released.

Logan says he had "only the best possible intentions" for CryptoZoo and "never made a single penny from the project." He says he spent $400K developing the game and says it was completed in early 2023 but wasn't released due to "regulatory hurdles that would need to be cleared that I did not originally understand."

LP adds ... "Like you, I was highly disappointed the game was not delivered."

Logan says his $2.3 million buyback program "is a way for me to make whole those who intended to play CryptoZoo. The buyback is not intended to compensate those who gambled on the crypto market and lost."

In addition to the NFT buyback, Logan is also taking legal action ... claiming in a new lawsuit that CryptoZoo lead developer Eduardo Ibanez and "Crypto King" Jake Greenbaum are to blame for the game's failure and not him.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- one of the first red flags in the project happened just after launch day, with suspicious trading activity happening ... where it appeared dozens of project outsiders somehow got info of the existence of the new market for ZOO Tokens.

The lawsuit claims the sketchy trading activity caused the market capitalization of ZOO Tokens to drop from about $130 million to $26 million.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard being free will do more good than bad for those suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy -- so says an org focusing on the rare behavioral disorder.

Andrea Dunlop, Founder of Munchausen Support -- the only nonprofit dedicated to helping victims and families impacted by Munchausen by Proxy -- tells TMZ ... she wishes Gypsy healing and peace after everything she went through at such a young age, and can't wait to hear her perspective.

She adds, "While we don't condone her actions with respect to her part in her mother's murder, she has served her time and has every right to share her experience in her own words, and it will undoubtedly shed light on this little understood form of abuse to the millions of people who have been captivated by her story."

Dunlop also tells us Munchausen by Proxy is actually far more common than people might be aware of -- and they think Gypsy's unique POV will actually lead to thousands of others coming forward to share their own stories of survival ... obviously a positive result.

Some of these lesser-known cases are covered in Dunlop's podcast, 'Nobody Should Believe Me,' and the org says more will likely surface now that Gypsy's back on the outside, and ready to share her history with the condition.

Bottom line ... yes, Gypsy did a bad thing -- but now that she's paid her debt to society ... she can clearly become an invaluable resource for others who might be silently suffering in a similar situation.

Tom Sandoval's back in his all-too-familiar villain role ... he's under fire from fans and castmates for interacting with a captive tiger, and PETA is schooling him on why it's bad for big cats.

The animal rights organization fired off a letter to the "Vanderpump Rules" star after footage emerged showing him inside an animal enclosure at Tiger World Thailand, where a tiger put its massive front paws on Tom's shoulders.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, PETA scolds Tom for the photo op ... explaining, "When popular folks like you pose with wild animals, people are moved to support pay-to-play animal experiences, for which big-cat cubs are torn away from their mothers prematurely and denied their freedom as well as anything remotely natural and important to them."

More specifically, PETA's also schooling Tom on tigers ... it says wild tigers avoid humans and are naturally solitary and reclusive, adding, "Any human interaction with big cats poses dangers for both humans and the felines, and captive big cats have attacked and killed their captors and visitors."

While Tom walked away from the visit physically unscathed ... he's taking heat online from fans and his 'VPR' cast members, Lala Kent and James Kennedy.

A Seahawks fan says Marshawn Lynch turned into Beastmode outside of a Seattle bar over the weekend ... smashing his phone during an altercation.

The Hawks supporter's name is Jose Lozano ... and he tells TMZ Sports the incident all happened in front of Xtadium in downtown Seattle on Sunday at around 1:30 AM.

Lozano says he tried to get a pic with Lynch inside of the bar earlier in the night -- but was denied by the Seahawks legend's friends ... who told him straight up, "No pictures."

However, when Lozano spotted Lynch outside of the establishment a short time later, he made one final attempt to get the former Seattle tailback to stop for a photo before he called it a night.

In video from the scene, you can see Lozano approach Lynch -- who's wearing a Beastmode sweatshirt -- and yell, "Marshawn! Beastmode! Let me a take a --."

Suddenly, though, Lynch appears to lunge at Lozano's phone -- before the footage cuts out.

Lozano tells us once the camera stopped rolling, Lynch grabbed his phone and screamed, "Y'all mother f***ers are weird," before he busted up the device with his hands. Eventually, Lozano said he was able to get the phone back just prior to Lynch leaving the area.

Lozano tells us he didn't realize his phone -- an iPhone 14 that he purchased just a few months ago -- was broken until several minutes had passed, but he said he has no intentions of going to police now over the incident because he's such a huge fan ... although he did say he wished Lynch hadn't been so "rude."

This, of course, is not the first time Marshawn has been accused of swiping at fans' phones ... back in 2017, he smacked a phone from a man's hands while out at LAX.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard siendo libre hará más bien que mal para los que sufren de síndrome de Munchausen por poderes, al menos así lo dice una organización centrada en el raro trastorno de comportamiento.

Un representante de Apoyo Munchausen -la única organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a ayudar a las víctimas y a las familias afectadas por Munchausen por poderes- le dice a TMZ que desean que Gypsy mejore y que tenga paz después de todo lo que pasó a muy temprana edad.

Y añaden: "Aunque no aprobamos sus acciones con respecto a su participación en el asesinato de su madre, ella ha cumplido su condena y tiene todo el derecho a compartir su experiencia. Sin duda esto arrojará luz sobre esta forma poco conocida de abuso a los millones de personas que han quedado cautivadas por su historia".

Continúan diciéndonos que el Munchausen por poderes es en realidad mucho más común de lo que la gente cree, y dicen que la popularidad de Gypsy conducirá a que miles de personas compartan sus propias historias de supervivencia, obviamente un resultado positivo.

Algunos de estos casos menos conocidos están cubiertos en el podcast de la fundadora de Munchausen Support, Andrea Dunlop, "Nadie debería creerme", y la organizacón dice que es probable que más salgan a la superficie ahora que Gypsy está de vuelta en el exterior y lista para compartir su historia con la condición.

En pocas palabras, sí, Gypsy hizo algo malo, pero ahora que ha pagado su deuda con la sociedad, su visibilidad puede ser de gran ayuda para otras personas.

Angus Mitchell, the only child of world-famous hairstylist Paul Mitchell, has died ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us they got a call just after 6 AM Wednesday to Angus' home in Honolulu for a male who appeared to have drowned in a pool. We're told Angus was pronounced dead at the scene. At this time, there's no official cause of death.

Angus had spent Tuesday night with friends at his home, sharing a video of himself enjoying Hawaiian music with others.

Angus is the co-owner of John Paul Mitchell Systems, which was founded by his father back in 1980. He inherited his dad's stake in JPMS and its schools after his dad's death from pancreatic cancer in 1989.

Angus went to school for hairstyling, but once said most of what he learned came from his pops -- he worked in Hawaii for a number of years before opening the Angus Mitchell Salon in Beverly Hills in 2010.

Apart from traveling the world on behalf of JPMS, Angus also made a name for himself as an educator ... as well as a model and spokesman for MITCH -- a men's line under the JPMS brand.

He married Michelle Raab on the island back in 2010, and remarried twice ... once with Sian, whom he shares 8-year-old Dylan with, and his current wife, Mara.

Hairstyling was in Angus' blood from the beginning -- although he once admitted the path he ended up going down as a career was "one of the more difficult" ones he chose.

Angus took home multiple awards over the years -- including #1 Platform Artist by Be magazine, a whole day named after him in Beverly Hills, and 3 awards on behalf of the Alternative Hair Show, which raises money for leukemia research.

Angus was 53.

Angus Mitchell, el único hijo del mundialmente famoso estilista Paul Mitchell, ha muerto ... TMZ ha averiguado.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que recibieron una llamada justo después de las 6 de la mañana del miércoles en la casa de Angus en Honolulu, por un hombre que parecía haberse ahogado en una piscina. Nos que dicen Angus fue declarado muerto en la escena. Por el momento, no hay causa oficial de muerte.

Angus había pasado la noche del martes con amigos en su casa, incluso había compartido un video suyo disfrutando de la música hawaiana con los demás.

Angus es copropietario de John Paul Mitchell Systems, fundada por su padre en 1980. Heredó la participación de su padre en JPMS y sus escuelas tras su muerte en 1989, a causa de un cáncer de páncreas.

Angus fue a la escuela de peluquería, pero una vez dijo que la mayor parte de lo que aprendió provino de su padre. Trabajó en Hawái durante varios años antes de abrir el Angus Mitchell Salon en Beverly Hills en 2010.

Además de viajar por el mundo en nombre de JPMS, Angus también se hizo un nombre como educador, modelo y portavoz de MITCH, una línea masculina bajo la marca JPMS.

Se casó con Michelle Raab en la isla en 2010 y se volvió a casar dos veces, una con Sian, con quien comparte a Dylan, de 8 años, y con su actual esposa, Mara.

La peluquería estaba en la sangre de Angus, aunque una vez admitió que el camino que terminó eligiendo como carrera fue "uno de los más difíciles".

Angus se llevó a casa múltiples premios a lo largo de los años, incluyendo Artista #1 de Plataforma por la revista Be, un día entero con su nombre en Beverly Hills y 3 premios en nombre del Alternative Hair Show, que recauda dinero para la investigación de la leucemia.

Angus tenía 53 años.
