Exclusive

Los coleccionistas de Barbie pueden empezar a contar los billetes, porque las nominaciones de la película a los Oscar están a punto de hacer estallar el mercado de reventa de Barbie... según un experto en juguetes.

Hemos hablado con Joel Magee, invitado habitual de "Pawn Stars" y con más de 20 años de experiencia en el mundo del coleccionismo, y nos ha dicho que espera que los precios sigan subiendo desde que la película obtuvo 8 nominaciones a los Oscar de este año.

JM dice que todo el revuelo en torno a la película y la temporada de premios está adoctrinando a la generación joven en la cultura del coleccionismo. Así que mientras que hace unos años la mayor compradora de Barbies podía ser tu nostálgica abuela Sue, ahora está de moda entre la generación Z comprar Barbies.

Magee sacó su bola mágica 8 para hacer una predicción para nosotros, diciendo que el productor masivo de Barbie, Mattel, es muy inteligente y ama a sus gotas de edición limitada así que mantengan los ojos bien abiertos para una Barbie temática Oscar posiblemente llegando al mercado muy pronto.

Ahora, por supuesto, Ryan Gosling fue nominado a un Oscar, mientras que Margot Robbie se perdió en la categoría de actuación, pero Magee dice que el sostén de la familia siempre ha sido y seguirá siendo Barbie. Lo siento, Ken.

Joel nos cuenta que los coleccionistas salen a comprar diferentes Barbies: Barbie Astronauta, Barbie Doctora, etc. y comprarán el Ken acompañante para completar el conjunto, pero él no es parte del sorteo.

Traducción: Él solo es Ken.

Dicho esto, un Oscar para Gosling hará subir los precios de los Ken y Magee está hablando de duplicar o triplicar el valor. Y, si no es Kenough para los votantes, Joel todavía ve un aumento del 40 o 50% solo por la nominación.

El último consejo de Magee para los coleccionistas: compren esas Barbies de edición limitada, como la Barbie Oscar, ya que él predice que podría ser una gran inversión.

Ginnifer Goodwin is all about a good Prince Charming ... and she trusts Disney to make the right call when it comes to his role, or lack thereof, in the live-action "Snow White."

We got Ginnifer at Porta Via in Los Angeles on Thursday and our photog asked her how Prince Charming fits into the Snow White fairytale.

Ginnifer famously played Snow White in the ABC fantasy series "Once Upon a Time" ... and she says Prince Charming was pretty important to her.

Of course, Ginnifer's talking about her husband, Josh Dallas ... she says Josh was her Prince Charming in real life ... they got married and plan to live happily ever after.

The 'Snow White' live-action remake might do away with the love story altogether ... which is causing a bunch of uproar, on top of the controversy surrounding the original Seven Dwarfs.

Personal experience aside, Ginnifer's leaving it up to Disney to decide what's best for this movie ... she says the studio's track record speaks for itself.

The director of a 'Road House" reboot is mad the movie won't run in movie theaters -- potentially costing Jake Gyllenhaal an Oscar -- but Patrick Swayze's widow says that's a highbrow aim compared to the OG film ... which was never meant to win Academy Awards.

Lisa Niemi Swayze tells TMZ ... the original "Road House" wasn't really Oscar-worthy material and it never tried to be ... it was just supposed to be a guilty pleasure.

Doug Liman directed the new 'RH' with Jake playing Patrick's main character role of John Dalton ... and he's ripping Amazon for sending it straight to its Prime Video streaming service, instead of giving it a theatrical run first.

Doug says Amazon is depriving Jake from being recognized come award season for what he says is a career-best acting performance ... and he's boycotting SXSW, where the film is set to debut.

Patrick's wife isn't bashing Doug or the new movie when she says the original wasn't geared at winning Academy Awards, though ... she's just saying the 1989 film was really just for pure entertainment.

In fact, Lisa says Patrick truly respected Jake as an actor and thought he was a great talent.

As for the raging debate over the benefits of a theatrical release versus a straight-to-streaming release ... Lisa says she's not qualified to give a hot take.

Masuimi Max -una actriz y modelo que apareció en grandes publicaciones como Playboy y Maxim- ha muerto... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que recibieron una llamada justo antes de las 8:30 AM esta mañana y respondieron a la casa de Max en el área de Las Vegas, donde encontraron a Max. Nos dicen que una investigación a fondo se llevará a cabo.

No hay más detalles sobre las circunstancias de su muerte por el momento.

Max comenzó a modelar el año 2000 según su LinkedIn, y a lo largo de los años apareció en numerosas publicaciones como Maxim, Alt Magazine, Bizarre Magazine y una serie de otros puntos de venta en los últimos años.

Los aficionados pueden recordarla por las veces que posó para Playboy. Además participó en muchos eventos en la Mansión Playboy a finales de 2000 y principios de 2010.

Tiene algunos créditos en IMDb, aunque en su mayoría películas de serie B como "Cornman: American Vegetable Hero" y "Giantess Battle Attack". Tuvo un papel no acreditado en "xXx: State of the Union" protagonizada por Samuel L. Jackson y Ice Cube donde interpretó a la novia de Zeke, el papel del rapero Xzibit en la película.

Los últimos años se ha dedicado sobre todo al modelaje alternativo... gravitando hacia espectáculos de terror/cabaret cargados de maquillaje y videos de YouTube. Había acumulado una sólida base de fans en línea, con más de 300k seguidores en Instagram.

Masuimi tenía 45 años.

Storm Reid's at the top of her game in Hollywood -- especially after winning an Emmy -- but that doesn't make her above anyone else on campus ... yes, she's still in school!

We got the professional actress -- who just took some hardware in recent weeks -- at LAX Thursday ... she says despite bagging the Outstanding Guest Actress award in a Drama Series for her role in HBO's "The Last of Us," she's still treated the same at USC School of Dramatic Arts -- where she's studying drama/theater.

The obvious question is ... how are folks treating you after the Emmy win?!? As it turns out, Storm tells people are pretty regular with her -- and, apparently, just excited and proud of her, as they come up to congratulate her ... at least that's what Storm's saying.

Clearly, she's staying humble ... but we'll say -- it is fascinating that her shiny new accolade doesn't seem to change her dynamic between her theatre teachers, or her peers.

From this chat here ... you'd almost never know she was a decorated, pro actor!

With that said, Storm's pleased to be learning loads of new techniques from the acting curriculum ... which she's already implementing in her on-screen work.

The gist here is that she's very happy in her Hannah Montana era -- living the best of both worlds -- a Hollywood star and an average, everyday dorm-living college student.

Storm Reid está en la cima en Hollywood, especialmente después de ganar un Emmy, pero eso no la pone por encima de cualquier otra persona en el campus, sí, ella todavía está en la escuela.

Encontramos a la actriz en LAX el Jueves, ella dice que a pesar de haber ganado el premio a la Actriz Invitada Sobresaliente en una Serie Dramática por su papel en "The Last of Us" de HBO, todavía la tratan como a una estudiante más en USC School of Dramatic Arts, donde está estudiando teatro.

La pregunta obvia es... ¿Cómo te trata la gente después de ganar el Emmy? Resulta que Storm dice que la gente se ha comportado de forma bastante natural, y al parecer, están emocionados y orgullosos de ella ya que se acercan a felicitarla... al menos eso es lo que dice Storm.

Está claro que no pierde la humildad... pero es fascinante que su nuevo galardón no parezca cambiar la dinámica entre sus profesores de teatro o sus compañeros.

De esta charla... ¡No te darías cuenta de que es una actriz profesional condecorada!

Dicho esto, Storm está encantada de estar aprendiendo un montón de nuevas técnicas en el plan de estudios de actuación, que ya está aplicando en su trabajo en la pantalla.

Ella dice que está pasando por un período Hannah Montana, viviendo lo mejor de ambos mundos, una estrella de Hollywood y una chica promedio.

Masuimi Max -- an actress and model who appeared in big publications like Playboy and Maxim -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops got a call just before 8:30 AM PT this morning and responded to Max's Las Vegas-area home where they found Max. We're told no foul play is immediately suspected ... though a thorough investigation will be conducted.

No further details about the circumstances of her death were immediately available.

Max started modeling back in 2000, according to her LinkedIn ... over the years she appeared in numerous publications like Maxim, Alt Magazine, Bizarre Magazine and a number of other outlets over the years.

Fans may remember her from the times she posed for Playboy -- MM also hit up events at the Playboy Mansion throughout the late 2000s/early 2010s.

She's got some credits on IMDb ... though mostly B-movies like "Cornman: American Vegetable Hero" and "Giantess Battle Attack." She did have an uncredited role in "xXx: State of the Union" starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ice Cube ... where she played the girlfriend of Zeke -- rapper Xzibit's role in the movie.

She's mostly been into alternative modeling in recent years ... gravitating toward make-up-heavy horror/cabaret shows and YouTube videos. She'd amassed a solid fanbase online, with more than 300k dedicated IG followers.

Masuimi was 45.

50 Cent se libró de cargos criminales por golpear a un DJ con un micrófono, pero hay una chica que no se va a rendir tan facilmente.

TMZ Hip Hop obtuvo los documentos presentados por Bryhana Monegain, la presentadora de radio con sede en Los Angeles para Power 106 que fue hospitalizada después de que el rapero lanzara un micrófono a la multitud el 3 de agosto de 2023.

Según la demanda, una vez que 50 se dio cuenta de que su micrófono estaba funcionando mal, optó por lanzarlo en la multitud, donde Bryhana afirma que la golpeó en la cara y la muñeca... resultando en lesiones graves y permanentes.

Sus supuestas lesiones, especificadas en los documentos, coinciden con la historia que publicamos en su momento, Bryhana dice que sufrió una conmoción cerebral y una laceración frente, entre otros golpes y contusiones.

Bryhana dice que sigue sufriendo de angustia emocional por el incidente a pesar de que ha tenido que volver a trabajar.

Ella está demandando por los salarios que perdió durante su recuperación, además de los gastos médicos y otros daños.

Sabemos 50, a través de un abogado, había negado haber dañado intencionalmente a nadie, pero eso fue cuando estaba siendo investigado penalmente por esto... ahora está claro que fue él.

50 Cent dodging a criminal charge for decking a DJ with a microphone doesn't mean he's out of the woods ... 'cause he's now staring down the barrel of a hefty lawsuit.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained the docs filed by Bryhana Monegain, the Los Angeles-based radio host for Power 106 who was hospitalized following 50's Final Lap Tour set inside the Crypto.com Arena on August 3, 2023.

According to the suit ... once 50 realized his mic was malfunctioning, he opted to throw it in the crowd, where Bryhana claims it struck her in the face and wrist ... resulting in severe and permanent injuries.

Her alleged injuries, specified in the docs, align with the story we broke at the time ... Bryhana says she suffered a concussion and a forehead laceration, among other bumps and bruises.

Bryhana's since returned to work at her afternoon radio slot, but says she continues to suffer from emotional distress over the incident.

She's suing for the wages she lost during her recovery, in addition to medical expenses and other damages.

We know 50, through an attorney, had previously denied intentionally harming anyone -- but that was when he was being criminally investigated over this ... which he's now clear of.

Taylor Swift's stalker is going to get his head checked ... because a judge wants to see if he's mentally able to stand trial.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the guy who has been arrested multiple times outside Taylor's NYC townhouse this month is being sent for a psychological exam.

As we reported ... David Crowe -- the man who prosecutors say has been lurking around Taylor's NYC home for a while now -- was arraigned Wednesday on stalking and harassment charges. He was set free and then was arrested again 2 hours later after going back to Taylor's block.

Now, David's facing a new charge of contempt in the second degree for intentionally violating an order of protection. His defense wants him to get a psych exam before a potential trial, and a judge agreed.

Taylor's actually been in the Big Apple while all of this has been going down ... though it's unclear if she was ever home when David was getting busted outside.

The investigation into Michael B. Jordan's violent Ferrari crash is closed, and he won't face any criminal repercussions ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement tells us there's just not enough evidence to prove what happened during the December crash in Hollywood ... despite a video showing Michael racing another driver -- also in a Ferrari -- moments before Michael careened into a parked KIA.

Cops say the video is part of the puzzle of what happened during the accident, but it's not enough to complete it -- especially as it doesn't capture whether MBJ was behind the wheel.

If a crime had been committed, we're told it would be street racing, and because that's a misdemeanor ... an officer would need to witness Jordan driving. That didn't happen as cops only responded after the fact.

Ditto for speeding -- we're told it isn't clear from the vid just how fast Michael's car was going as he apparently raced the other down Sunset Blvd.

So, when you put it all together ... just too many question marks to prosecute.

Jillian Michaels gave Dr. Terry Dubrow a taste of his own medicine ... this after he implored people to ignore her anti-Ozempic stance cause she was merely a personal trainer.

We got JM on "TMZ Live" Thursday ... who says, contrary to what Dubrow believes, she's actually the foremost expert when it comes to helping people lose weight -- and says he shared her same views on the drug not too long ago ... pulling out receipts for evidence.

Jillian cites a July 2023 NY Post interview with the "Botched" star ... where, sure enough, he urged the weight loss community to raise awareness of the dangers of Ozempic ... saying it could cost people their lives.

The article also claims that 3 of TD's patients were hospitalized at the time ... over intestinal problems and pancreatitis linked with Ozempic use.

So, yeah ... Jillian doubles down here on her OG assertion that Ozempic isn't the silver bullet solution for weight loss ... adding if it were the easy way out, she too would be using it.

In fact, she tells us if she believed the drug could healthily cure obesity... she'd also sell it through her weight loss platform/app -- profiting from it both personally and professionally.

The bottom line is she's merely trying to educate people on the side effects of Ozempic -- and clearly thinks Dubrow's attack on her was unwarranted.

Jesse Jane -- a well-known porn star from the 2000s -- has died alongside her boyfriend, who also passed away, and it sounds like their death is drug-related ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the famed adult film actress was found dead at a home Wednesday in Moore, OK -- where we're told police responded to this residence on a welfare check ... and when they got there, our sources say officers discovered both Jesse and her boyfriend, Brett Hasenmueller, deceased.

We're told the welfare check request was actually placed by Brett's employer, who hadn't heard from him in a few days. At the moment, we're told this appears to have been a drug overdose of some sort.

Unclear how long exactly Jesse and Brett might've been dead at the house, and an exact cause of death isn't known at this point either. An investigation is underway, and the Medical Examiner will make a final determination.

Jesse was one of the biggest porn stars in her day -- she started out with Digital Playground in 2002 ... and shortly thereafter, started to make appearances on Showtime's 'Family Business' -- and from there, her career in the industry took off.

She starred in a number of well-known adult films and adult film series -- including the 'Pirates' flicks ... notably the sequel in "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge," which reportedly cost around $8 million to make and is considered one of the most expensive pornos to date.

Eventually, Jesse made her way over to Playboy ... serving as a host for a popular live show called 'Night Calls,' and even hosting Playboy TV's 'Naughty Amateur Home Videos.'

Jesse became a huge fixture in the porn world -- she hosted several award shows, including the AVN Awards multiple times, and she launched successful sex toy lines as well.

Outside of adult entertainment ... Jesse made some appearances in mainstream films as well, including 'Starsky & Hutch,' a guest role on 'Entourage,' and even an appearance on 'The Bad Girls Club.' In 2009, she was part of a CNBC doc called 'Porn: Business of Pleasure' -- which showed what her life was like behind the scenes, and away from cameras.

She survived by her one son. Jesse was 43.

RIP

Jesse Jane, una conocida estrella del porno de la década de los 2000, ha muerto junto a su novio, quien también falleció, y parece que su muerte está relacionada con las drogas, según ha indagado TMZ.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que la famosa actriz del cine para adultos fue encontrada sin vida en una casa de Moore, en Oklahoma, el miércoles. La policía fue a la residencia para chequear si todo estaba bien y cuando llegaron nuestras fuentes dicen que los oficiales encontraron tanto a Jesse como a su novio, Brett Hasenmueller, muertos.

Nos dicen que la solicitud de control fue solicitada por el empleador de Brett, ya que no había escuchado hablar de él en unos días. Por el momento, nos dicen que esto parece haber sido una sobredosis de drogas de algún tipo.

No está claro cuánto tiempo exactamente podrían haber estado Jesse y Brett sin vida en la casa y la causa exacta de muerte tampoco se conoce en este momento. Una investigación está en curso y el médico forense hará una determinación final.

Jesse fue una de las mayores estrellas del porno en su época. Empezó con Digital Playground en 2002 y poco después empezó a hacer apariciones en "Family Business" de Showtime. A partir de ahí, su carrera en la industria despegó.

Protagonizó una serie de conocidas películas y series para adultos, incluyendo "Pirates", en particular la secuela "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge", que al parecer costó alrededor de $8 millones y es considerada uno de los filmes más caros del porno hasta la fecha.

Con el tiempo, Jesse hizo su camino hasta Playboy. Fue anfitriona de un popular programa en vivo llamado "Night Calls" e incluso como anfitriona de Playboy TV "Naughty Amateur Home Videos".

Jesse se convirtió en una figura importante en el mundo del porno: fue anfitriona de varias galas de premios, incluidos los AVN Awards en varias ocasiones, y también lanzó exitosas líneas de juguetes sexuales.

Fuera del entretenimiento para adultos, Jesse hizo algunas apariciones en películas convencionales, incluyendo "Starsky & Hutch", como invitada en "Entourage" e incluso tuvo una aparición en "The Bad Girls Club". En 2009, participó en un documental de la CNBC titulado "Porn: Business of Pleasure", que mostraba cómo era su vida entre bastidores y lejos de las cámaras.

Le sobrevive un hijo. Jesse tenía 43 años.

Jeffrey Wright dice que su película independiente, "American Fiction", definitivamente tiene una oportunidad de llevarse a casa los máximos honores en los Oscar, pero no vayas a llamar a esto una historia de David contra Goliat.

Recibimos al nominado a Mejor Actor el miércoles en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles, donde le preguntamos todo sobre el hecho de que la película fuera nominada el martes, acumulando 5 nominaciones a los Oscar, desde Mejor Actor a Banda Sonora Original y, por supuesto, el gran premio a la Mejor Película.

Para empezar, Jeff nos dijo que odia el hecho de que la carrera de los Oscar convierta el arte en una competición y nos dijo que está feliz de estar junto a todos esos éxitos de taquilla que son considerados los favoritos de los Oscar este año.

Sí, estamos hablando de "Barbie", "Oppenheimer" y otros peces gordos de la carrera, pero por el comportamiento de Jeffrey, nunca imaginarías que está sudando la gota gorda... ¡porque no es así!

Cuando le preguntamos directamente si "American Fiction" tiene posibilidades reales de ganar en cualquiera de las categorías... le devuelve la pregunta a nuestro cámara, quien, según Jeffrey, ha respondido a la pregunta él mismo sin darse cuenta.

En resumen, la película es absolutamente increíble y aunque es "pequeña", sigue siendo poderosa.

Esa es la conclusión de Jeffrey, de todos modos, y ciertamente parece confiado en el trabajo.

Jeffrey Wright says his indie movie, "American Fiction," most definitely has a fighting chance to take home top honors at the Oscars ... but don't go calling this a David vs. Goliath story.

We got the Best Actor nominee Wednesday at LAX, where we asked all about the fact 'AF' was nominated a ton on Tuesday -- racking up 5 Oscar nods on everything from Best Actor to Original Score and, of course, the big prize in Best Picture.

For starters, Jeff told us he hates the fact the Oscars race turns art into a competition, and told us he's just happy to be in the mix of things with all those blockbuster hits that are considered Oscar darlings this year.

Yes, we're talking about "Barbie," "Oppenheimer" and some other big fish in the race -- but from Jeffrey's demeanor here, you'd never guess he's sweating it ... 'cause he ain't!

When we ask him straight up if "American Fiction" has a realistic path toward victory in any of its categories ... he puts it back on our camera guy, who Jeffrey says inadvertently answered the question himself.

Bottom line, the movie is absolutely amazing and even though it's "small" ... it's still mighty.

That's JW's takeaway, anyway, and he certainly seems confident in the work.
