Ex-NFL star Marcellus Wiley is taking a firm stance on who should take over for the Los Angeles Chargers ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks Bill Belichick should NOT be the next head coach.

The Bolts job is arguably the most attractive opening in the league right now ... and many are speculating they could land a big fish like the former Patriots legend or Michigan's Jim Harbaugh if he chooses to make a return to the pros.

We asked the TV personality about those two names specifically ... and while he considers Belichick the greatest coach of all time, he says Harbaugh is the right guy for the gig.

"It's gonna be tough with the Chargers, obviously," Wiley said at LAX. "We're looking for a coach that we can look into the future with. With Belichick, how far are you going to look into the future? I don't know."

Wiley points out there's still a debate whether Belichick or Tom Brady was more responsible for the Patriots' six Super Bowl wins ... and his style of coaching may not resonate with the locker room.

Harbaugh -- who's fresh off a national championship with the Wolverines -- hasn't announced whether he will be back in Ann Arbor next season ... but Wiley thinks his postgame comments mean he's as good as gone.

As for his former team, Wiley -- who played in San Diego from 2001-2003 -- thinks they're an easy fix under Harbaugh ... making him the perfect guy to replace fired coach Brandon Staley.

"With Justin Herbert, he's top 5 talent," he added. "He just needs everybody else. First, he's gotta stay healthy and then everybody else just kinda stay healthy and stay on page. With Staley, it was fun ... but a little too much gambling. It started to cost us. People stopped believing him, the doubt creeped in, then he just lost his way. That's what happens."

9:59 AM PT -- Hulk Hogan's wife, Sky Daily, just posted about the crash ... writing, "Last night, after we left dinner in Tampa, we saw a car flip in front of us! I truly admire my husband @hulkhogan and our good buddy @jakerask for springing into action, puncturing the girls airbag, and getting her quickly out of the car. By all appearances, she was unscathed, just really rattled, which is an absolute miracle!"

9:07 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained new photos from the scene of the crash ... and in them, you can see Hulk and his friend playing real-life superheroes.

Take a look at these pics ... which show an up-close-and-personal view of the action. From the looks of it, the accident was as dramatic as you can imagine -- with the teen's car completely flipped upside down ... and her actually stepping out from the vehicle.

In fact, you can also see Hulk's buddy, Jake (the marine), running over to help. It's like something straight out of a movie -- and fortunately, nobody was seriously harmed.

7:17 AM PT -- More startling details about this accident -- TMZ Sports has learned that the driver was a minor ... a 17-year-old girl, who, we're told, was completely rattled by the whole thing.

Our sources also tell us that Hulk Hogan's buddy, Jake, who dove right in on this is actually a Marine!

Hulk Hogan sloughed off his WWE heel persona in real life this weekend -- jumping to the rescue of a woman who got into a horrific car accident ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the legendary wrestler, his wife Sky Daily and a friend of theirs were cruising along a highway Sunday evening in Tampa, FL when they witnessed a bad wreck play out right in front of them.

We're told a car erratically swerved across the lanes to catch an exit it was about to miss -- and in the process ... clipped another car, which our sources say flipped over and tumbled.

Hulk and co., our sources explain, pulled over immediately -- with HH and his pal, Jake, rushing over to render aid to the driver ... a woman whom we're told was rattled. Since they were first on the scene, we're told Hulk and Jake actually helped get her out of the car.

Our sources say Jake popped the woman's airbag with some tools that Hulk had on hand -- and they both unbuckled her seatbelt and assisted her in safely leaving the vehicle. We're told paramedics eventually arrived on the scene, and Hulk and his crew looked on.

In the end, our sources say the woman appeared to be okay ... and HH was happy to help.

Pretty terrifying obviously -- and while, thankfully, everyone seemed alright in the end ... you gotta imagine the woman who was saved must've been surprised to see none other than Hulk himself being her personal hero. Again, he's often played the villain in the ring.

Turns out, he's the nicest guy and then some when called upon ... well done, brother!

People really should pump the brakes on all the engagement talk between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ... 'cause we're told a proposal isn't forthcoming in the near future either.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... there's absolutely no engagement in the works between Taylor and Travis right now -- despite some reports suggesting they're racing to the altar. To the contrary, we're being told TK ain't getting on bended knee anytime soon.

There were rumblings this week people in Taylor's camp had T-Swift and Trav pegged for an early summer engagement, but we're being told that's just not the case. In fact, our sources tell us some folks on the inside of this don't think it'll go the distance.

We're told some members of their inner circles see Taylor and Travis as still being in a honeymoon phase, of sorts -- and they say it's just too early to tell if they'll ever advance past the dating stage.

Hear that ... that's the sound of Swiftie bubbles bursting, and premature wedding bells going silent.

Our sources also point out their about to enter a very challenging stage of their relationship --  Taylor's continuing her international tour starting in February, which will have her overseas for several months.

Of course, once his NFL season is over, Travis could join her at times -- but folks in their orbit are saying let's see how they deal with the really long distance before jumping to engagement talk.

Martin Luther King Jr. planeaba un viaje a la Unión Soviética tras sobrevivir a un intento de asesinato y su carta explicando los motivos de la visita está a la venta.

El famoso líder de los derechos civiles fue a una firma de libros en Harlem solo dos meses después de ser apuñalado, cuando le escribió al Consejo Nacional de Iglesias, explicando sus motivaciones detrás de una visita a la URSS.

La carta de 1958 esboza 6 razones para querer programar una escala en la Unión Soviética en su camino de regreso de la India, incluyendo el deseo de investigar por qué los soviéticos seguían siendo religiosos a pesar del ateísmo patrocinado por el Estado.

El Dr. King también le dijo al Consejo Nacional de Iglesias que quería reunirse con los bautistas en la Unión Soviética y averiguar cómo las políticas soviéticas afectan a las minorías.

Algo que llama la atención, es que el señor King calculó que el viaje le costaría 35 dólares diarios sumando hoteles, trenes, aviones, intérpretes, carros y choferes... lo que hoy en día equivale a unos 370 dólares diarios.

La rara pieza historica se va a la venta a través de Moments In Time por $54.000, después de haber sido conservado durante años por un coleccionista privado.

Martin Luther King Jr. was planning a trip to the Soviet Union after surviving an assassination attempt, and his letter explaining his reasons for the visit is up for grabs.

The famed civil rights leader was only 2 months removed from being stabbed at a book signing in Harlem when he wrote to the National Council of Churches, explaining his motivations behind a visit to the USSR.

MLK's 1958 letter outlines 6 reasons for the stopover, on his way back from India, including a desire to investigate why Soviet citizens were still religious despite state-sponsored atheism.

Dr. King also told the National Council of Churches he wanted to meet with Baptists in the communist nation to figure out how Soviet policies affected minorities.

One really eye-opening part of the letter is the price ... MLK estimated the trip would cost a whopping $35 per day for his hotels, trains, planes, interpreters, cars and chauffeurs. Yeah, different time -- today that would be about $370 per day.

The rare piece of MLK history is going up for sale through Moments In Time for $54,000 ... after being stored for years by a private collector.

La madre del bebé de Soulja Boy, dice que su demanda por difamación contra Blueface está haciendo mella en su salud mental. Sus abogados dicen que está viendo a los médicos y tomando nuevos medicamentos para la ansiedad y el insomnio.

Los abogados de Jackilyn Martínez, Vadim Yeremenko y Tara Licata, le dicen a TMZ que su clienta se siente angustiada por las declaraciones de Blueface sobre su hijo y las amenazas que ella dice que ha recibido de sus fans. Nos dicen que ha estado viendo a un terapeuta y un psiquiatra y que le han prescrito algunos medicamentos.

TMZ publicó la historia, Jackilyn demandó a Blueface después de que él dijo que tuvieron relaciones sexuales el 2022 e insinuó que el hijo que comparte con Soulja podría ser de él.

Blueface hizo más daño más en una serie de mensajes... y como resultado, toda esta situación ha sembrado la discordia entre Soulja y el niño.

También nos informan que Jackilyn y Soulja Boy ahora se comunican muy poco.

Jackilyn parece estar pasando por mucho, su demanda afirmó que recibió amenazas de muerte de los fans de Blueface, y ahora su equipo legal nos dice que desde entonces ha desactivado los mensajes en las redes sociales.

La demanda fue presentada en diciembre y los abogados nos dicen que sirvieron Blueface mientras hacía un meet and greet en Fountain LA en Koreatown, la misma noche que nuestro fotógrafo lo encontró allí con Jaidyn Alexis.

Soulja Boy's baby mama says her defamation lawsuit against Blueface is taking an extreme emotional toll -- her lawyers say she's seeing doctors and taking new medications for anxiety and insomnia.

Jackilyn Martinez's attorneys, Vadim Yeremenko and Tara Licata, tell TMZ ... their client is feeling distressed over Blueface's statements about her child and threats she says she's getting from his fans. We're told she's been seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist, who have prescribed her meds.

TMZ broke the story ... Jackilyn sued Blueface after he said they had sex the day before her and Soulja Boy's baby shower back in 2022 ... and insinuated the son she shares with SB could actually be his.

Blueface took more jabs at Soulja and Jackilyn in a series of social media posts ... and as a result, we're told this whole situation has sowed discord between Soulja and the baby boy.

We're also told Jackilyn and Soulja Boy now have minimal communications themselves.

Jackilyn seems to be going through a lot ... her lawsuit claimed she received death threats from Blueface fans, and now her legal team tells us she's since disabled messages on social media.

The lawsuit was filed in December and lawyers tell us they served Blueface while doing a meet and greet at Fountain LA in Koreatown ... the same night our photog got him there with Jaidyn Alexis.

Lena Waithe is the latest celeb to fall victim to smash-and-grab burglars ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... a group of burglars smashed a window to the actress/comedian's Los Angeles-area home last week while she was out of town.

Our sources say the thieves made off with $200k worth of jewelry. One of Lena's staff discovered the break-in after coming to the home the following day and finding the front door unlocked.

Lena, best known as Denise from "Master of None" and creator of "The Chi," isn't alone ... several other stars have fallen victim to similar crimes in the past couple months.

Burglars in ski masks smashed one of Keanu Reeves' windows and entered his home in early December, and "Entourage" star Kevin Connolly's house was given similar treatment on Christmas Eve.

Model Abigail Ratchford might've endured the most terrifying situation of all ... actually being in the upstairs bedroom when someone broke in.

El video musical "J Christ" de Lil Nas X cuenta con el apoyo de una iglesia, aunque no ncesariamente cristiana o católica.

El polémico rapero lanzó un video musical para su canción "J Cristo", enviando ondas de choque a través del mundo religioso. En él, el rapero interpreta a Noé, capitaneando su arca a través de aguas turbulentas, e incluso se muestra como Cristo en la cruz. También le rompe los tobillos al diablo en un partido de baloncesto uno contra uno.

La letra solo aporta a los tintes religiosos de la canción, con líneas como "Volver a salir de la tumba/Perra estoy de vuelta como J Cristo", así que sí, se podría decir que la religión es el tema principal.

Mientras que ciertos raperos cristianos y grupos han expresado su disgusto con la canción y video, a la Iglesia de Satanás le encanta, David Harris le dice a TMZ que le está dando al video un pulgar arriba, llamando a las imágenes "fantásticas".

Harris señala cómo Lil Nas X rapea sobre su capacidad de ser viral, equiparándolo a la creencia de su iglesia de la "magia menor". Básicamente, la capacidad de manipular a la gente para que haga lo que quieras y de paso llenarte los bolsillos.

El magister (algo así como un cardenal para los miembros de la Iglesia de Satán) dice que su iglesia en realidad no adora a Satán y en su lugar promueve ser tu verdadero yo, el logro personal y vivir la vida al máximo, no está obsesionada con la iconografía como otras iglesias. Nunca los verás reaccionar a las representaciones del Diablo con ira.

Harris tiene recibos para respaldar esa afirmación, ya que anteriormente había dado el visto bueno a su video musical "Montero" a pesar de la representación de Satanás (también alabó el momento en que Lil Nas lo mata y le quita la corona).

Magister Harris solo tenía una pequeña crítica para Lil Nas X. "J Christ" no era suficiente para él... ¡Dice que quiere que el rapero diriga un largometraje!

Tom Brady never netted a dollar playing professional baseball ... but a card of him in uniform just made one seller a boatload of cash.

A baseball card of the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback sold for $158,600 online Saturday after a contentious bidding war on the site Goldin.

As we previously reported ... the happy seller is a Minnesota card collector who pulled the one-of-a-kind signed Bowman Tom Brady Montreal Expos Superfractor card ... talk about a lucky draw!

TB12 played catcher for his high school baseball team, and the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals) took him in the 18th round, 507th overall ... not high enough to entice Tom away from his University of Michigan scholarship.

The rest is history ... Brady's gone down as the greatest QB of all time, a surefire Hall of Famer -- though it hasn't stopped people from imagining what could've been.

Topps put out a commercial reimagining Brady's life as an MLB player instead ... guy ended up being the G.O.A.T. in a different sport (no surprise there).

Lil Nas X's "J Christ" music video has the support of one church ... though its endorsement is unlikely to make Christians and Catholics feel any better.

ICYMI ... the controversial rapper released a music video for his song "J Christ" -- sending shockwaves through the religious world. In it, LNX plays Noah, captaining his ark through rough waters, and even shows him as Christ on the cross. He also breaks the devil's ankles in a one-on-one basketball game for good measure.

The lyrics only add to the song's religious ties ... featuring lines like "Back up out the gravesite/Bitch I'm back like J Christ" -- so yeah, you could say religion is a main theme.

While certain Christian rappers and groups have expressed disgust with the song and video, the Church of Satan loves it ... magister David Harris tells TMZ he's giving the video a thumbs up, calling the imagery "fantastic."

Harris notes how Lil Nas X raps about his ability to go viral, equating it to his church's belief in "lesser magic" ... basically the ability to manipulate people into doing what you want -- which DH notes is lining Nas' pockets with cash.

The magister (kinda like a cardinal to Church of Satan members) says his church -- which doesn't actually worship Satan and instead touts being your true self, personal achievement and living life to the fullest -- isn't obsessed with iconography like other churches ... you'll never see them react to portrayals of the Devil with anger.

Harris's got receipts to back that claim up ... having previously given a stamp of approval to his "Montero" music vid in spite of the depiction of Satan (he also lauded the moment Lil Nas kills him and takes his crown.)

Magister Harris only had one tiny criticism for Lil Nas X -- "J Christ" wasn't enough for him ... DH says he's so talented he wants the rapper to direct a feature-length film!

Joyce Randolph, quien interpretó a Trixie Norton en "The Honeymooners", ha fallecido... TMZ ha indagado.

Su hijo le dice a TMZ que Joyce falleció el sábado en su casa de Nueva York. Nos dicen que murió mientras dormía. Últimamente, estuvo sufriendo los efectos de la vejez, siendo incapaz de caminar. Estaba en cuidados paliativos al momento de su muerte.

Joyce interpretaba a la esposa de Ed Norton, interpretado por Art Carney. Eran los mejores amigos y vecinos de Ralph Kramden, interpretado por Jackie Gleason y Audrey Meadows, que interpretaba a la sufrida Alice. Ralph, el conductor de autobús, se enfadaba a menudo con su mujer y le decía: "A la luna, Alice", con los puños cerrados. Evidentemente, eso nunca saldría hoy en la televisión.

"The Honeymooners" está considerada una de las grandes comedias de todos los tiempos. Lo loco... es que solo rodaron 39 episodios, pero perdura hasta nuestros días.

La serie debutó en la CBS en 1955. Solo duró una temporada. Fue un gran éxito y fue el programa número 2, pero cayó a 19 y fue cancelado.

Joyce consiguió el papel después de que Jackie la viera en un anuncio de chicles.

Hubo un reinicio y otros proyectos que trajeron de vuelta a personajes de la serie, pero la OG es la que todo el mundo recuerda.

Joyce fue la última superviviente del reparto principal.

Deja atrás a su hijo Randy. Dice que su madre será incinerada y pide que en lugar de flores se envíen donaciones al Fondo Comunitario de Entretenimiento.

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton on "The Honeymooners," has died ... TMZ has learned.

Her son tells TMZ ... Joyce passed Saturday at her home in New York City. We're told she died in her sleep. She had been suffering from the effects of old age ... unable to walk. She was in hospice care at the time of her death.

Joyce played the wife of Ed Norton, played by Art Carney. They were the best friends and neighbors of Ralph Kramden, who was played by Jackie Gleason, and Audrey Meadows, who played the long-suffering Alice. Ralph, a bus driver, would often get angry at his wife and say, "To the moon, Alice," with fists clenched. That would obviously never be on TV today.

"The Honeymooners" is considered one of the great comedies of all time. The crazy thing ... they only shot 39 episodes, but it endures to this very day.

The show debuted on CBS in 1955. It was on only one season. It was a big hit ... it was the number 2 show, but dropped to 19 and was cancelled.

Joyce snagged the role after Jackie saw her on a chewing gum commercial.

There was a reboot and other projects bringing characters from the show back, but the OG is what everyone remembers.

Joyce was the last surviving member of the main cast.

She leaves behind her son, Randy. He says his mother will be cremated. He asks in lieu of flowers donations be sent to the Entertainment Community Fund.

La memoria de Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell sigue viva, especialmente a través de las impresionantes fotos de su boda en marzo de 2023.

Tenemos las imágenes, en donde la hija de Mama June se ve resplandeciente en su vestido blanco, en la íntima boda con Eldridge Toney. La ceremonia se llevó a cabo en el condado de Wilkinson, Georgia, un poco después de ser diagnosticada con un carcinoma suprarrenal en estadio 4.

Anna llevaba un vestido blanco y Eldridge una camisa blanca y pantalones. Sus damas de honor -que fueron sus hermanas- sus 2 hijas y Mama June, los acompañaron sonriendo frente a la cámara.

TMZ dio la noticia, la pareja obtuvo un certificado de matrimonio, que muestra que el marido de una de las hermanas de Anna, Pumpkin, ofició la ceremonia.

El rodaje de "Mama June: From Not to Hot" también estaba sucediendo en ese momento. Equipos de cámara estaban presente.

Anna, que estaba recibiendo quimioterapia en el momento, no podría haber estado más radiante durante la ceremonia.

Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's memory is living on -- especially through her stunning wedding pictures from March 2023.

We've got the snaps ... Mama June's daughter looks glowing in bridal white from her intimate wedding to Eldridge Toney in Wilkinson County, Georgia ... shortly after her stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis.

She's in a plunging white gown, Eldridge wears a white shirt and trousers ... with the bridesmaids, aka Chickadee's sisters, her 2 daughters, and Mama J, smiling big for snaps.

TMZ broke the story, the two obtained a marriage certificate ... which shows the husband of Anna's sister Pumpkin was the officiant during the day.

Filming for "Mama June: From Not to Hot" was also happening ... with camera crew present.

Anna, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time, couldn't have looked more radiant during the ceremony.

Carmen Electra hizo un gran cambio en su vida, tras presentar la solicitud para cambiar su nombre de nacimiento e ir formalmente por su nombre artístico, conocido hace mucho tiempo, y ahora sabemos exactamente por qué.

Fuentes cercanas a la estrella de "Baywatch" le dicen a TMZ que no hay una gran razón detrás de la decisión, sino que es algo que ha estado pensando desde hace un tiempo y dio el paso porque no hay mejor momento para empezar de nuevo que el Año Nuevo.

Cabe destacar que la actriz no usa su nombre de nacimiento Tara Leigh Patrick desde hace décadas.

TMZ obtuvo los documentos legales a principios de esta semana, los que revelaban que la actriz y modelo quiere cambiar formalmente su nombre a "Carmen Electra", así que parece que se está despidiendo oficialmente de Tara. También está formalizando lo que todo el mundo sabe desde hace mucho tiempo.

Un dato curioso: CE no inventó su nombre artístico, sino que se lo puso el difunto icono Prince, cuando se presentó a una audición para formar parte de un grupo femenino que él estaba formando a principios de los 90.

Por desgracia, Carmen no pasó el corte, pero siguió causando sensación en la televisión y en otros medios, y se quedó con el apodo.
