Lee Byung-hun probably wants to go all "Squid Game" on someone ... because the Netflix star's home got hit by burglars.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... one of Lee's staff members stopped by his Los Angeles area home last week to find the place ransacked. We're told the thieves smashed a sliding glass door to get inside the house.
The incident, we're told, went down while the "Squid Game" star was out of town ... but it's unclear what, if anything, was stolen and how much those items might be worth. Cops say Lee will go through his belongings when he gets home to figure out if anything is missing.
Our law enforcement sources tell us cops don't believe Lee was targeted here ... instead, police say this appears to be the work of one of the burglary crews that have been robbing wealthy neighborhoods around Los Angeles.
One of those recent smash-and-grab burglaries involved Lena Waithe ... as we first told you, Lena was hit for around $200,000 in jewelry when thieves broke into her home while she was out of town.
We're told there have been no arrests in either case as LAPD continues investigating.

Dominique Dunne Famous Actor Offered to Have her Killer BF Murdered

Exclusive

"Poltergeist" star Dominique Dunne's death at the hands of her boyfriend enraged a very famous actor so much ... he told her family he could have the guy murdered.
Dominique, the daughter of famed writer/producer Dominick Dunne and sister of actor/producer Griffin Dunne, was strangled to death by BF John Sweeney, a famed L.A. chef, back in 1980. Sweeney was charged with murder but, in what almost everyone involved says was a gross miscarriage of justice, he was convicted of manslaughter and only served several years in prison.
Griffin, Dominick and family friend/Oscar-winning producer Charles Wessler went on a mission to haunt Sweeney, getting him fired from at least 7 jobs after his release from prison.
In a new TMZ documentary on FOX Monday night at 9/8 Central, Wessler tells the story at Dominique's funeral, where a very famous actor -- an actor who everyone knows -- came up to him and said he knew "people" who could take care of Sweeney for good -- i.e., kill him.
Wessler made it clear ... it wasn't something the family wanted, but it shows the level of outrage.
As the wheels of justice began to grind, it became apparent the legal process had gone horribly wrong. The judge would not allow the jury to hear from Sweeney's prior girlfriend who had an horrific story of how he repeatedly brutalized her to the point she ended up in the hospital several times. The woman broke her silence for the first time in our documentary.
As for the offer to perform a hit on Sweeney, judging from the way Wessler tells the story, the actor may have had mob ties.
You can hear the pain Dominique's family and friends experienced, for never being able to properly avenge Dominique's death -- something we examine in detail in our new doc -- "Killing a Movie Star: A Grave Injustice."
It airs Monday on FOX at 9/8c and hits Hulu the following day.

OG 'Road House' Star Critiques Conor, Gyllenhaal Fights ... Hits Sound Off!

Exclusive

One of the stars of the original "Road House" is giving his review of the first look at the Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor-led remake ... telling TMZ Sports there's one glaring difference that caught his attention -- the way it sounds when dudes are duking it out.
Marshall Teague -- who played Patrick Swayze's arch nemesis, Jimmy, in the '80s cult classic -- was one of the millions of movie buffs who tuned into the trailer for the Prime Video project this week ... and while he's really pulling for the new take to do well, he found the audio effects in the fight scenes "humorous."
Teague -- who's experienced in martial arts and kickboxing -- said he and Swayze actually hit each other HARD during their on-screen scraps ... so naturally, it sounded like the real deal.
But, considering Conor is one of the greatest fighters on the planet and Gyllenhaal, despite training like a madman for his Elwood Dalton role, is not nearly as experienced in combat ... it's safe to say the two couldn't go toe-to-toe like Swayze and Teague did back in the day -- but Marshall hopes they were still able to build a similar bond on set.
"I love [Patrick] to death and I miss him every day," Teague said. "He's a great guy. I feel very honored to have had the opportunity to do that film with him and I hope the two of them have the same relationship. I really do."
Teague praises both Jake and Conor for being amazing in their respective fields ... and he wants nothing but the best for the upcoming flick.
No matter how great the reimagined version turns out, Teague said it will be tough to top the OG ... but he's truthfully got his fingers crossed that it can live up to the expectations.
As for whether he's got a cameo in the 2024 edition, Teague revealed he's received thousands of messages from fans asking if he makes an appearance ... but he pointed out it would be kinda hard to do, as his character died in the original.
Sorry for the spoiler ... but come on, it's been out for three decades.

Estrella de "Road House" critica las escenas de pelea De Gyllenhaal y McGregor

Una de las estrellas de la original "Road House" está dando su opinión acerca del remake protagonizado por Jake Gyllenhaal y Conor McGregor, diciéndole a TMZ Sports que hay una diferencia evidente que le llamó la atención... la forma en que suenan los golpes.
Marshall Teague -que interpretó al archienemigo de Patrick Swayze, Jimmy, en el clásico de culto de los 80- fue uno de los millones de aficionados al cine que sintonizaron Prime Video para ver la película y, a pesar de que está deseando realmente que tenga éxito, no puede evitar pensar que los efectos de audio en las escenas de lucha "graciosos".
Teague -que tiene experiencia en artes marciales y kickboxing- dijo que él y Swayze realmente se golpearon DURO durante sus peleas en la pantalla, así que, naturalmente, todo sonaba bastante real.
Teniendo en cuenta que Conor es uno de los mejores luchadores del planeta y que Gyllenhaal, a pesar de haber entrenado como un loco para su papel de Elwood Dalton, no tiene tanta experiencia en el combate... es seguro decir que los dos no pudieron enfrentarse como lo hicieron Swayze y Teague, pero Marshall espera que hayan sido capaces de construir un vínculo similar en el set.
"Lo quiero mucho y lo echo de menos todos los días", dice Teague. "Es un gran tipo. Me siento muy honrado de haber tenido la oportunidad de hacer esa película con él y espero que los dos tengan la misma relación. De verdad que sí".
Teague elogia tanto a Jake como a Conor por ser increíbles en sus respectivos campos y no quiere nada más que lo mejor para la próxima película.
No importa lo grande que sea la nueva versión, Teague dijo que será difícil superar a la original, pero él realmente tiene los dedos cruzados para que pueda estar a la altura de las expectativas.
En cuanto a si tiene un cameo en la edición de 2024, Teague reveló que ha recibido miles de mensajes de los fans preguntando si hace una aparición, pero señaló que sería un poco difícil de hacer, ya que su personaje murió en el original.
Perdón por el spoiler... pero vamos, hace tres décadas que salió.
El novio asesino de Dominique Dunne fue objetivo de un famoso actor

La muerte de la estrella de "Poltergeist" Dominique Dunne a manos de su novio enfureció tanto a un actor muy famoso, que le dijo a su familia que podía hacer que lo mataran.
Dominique, hija del famoso escritor y productor Dominick Dunne y hermana del actor y productor Griffin Dunne, murió estrangulada por su novio, John Sweeney, un famoso chef de Los Ángeles, en 1980. Sweeney fue acusado de asesinato, pero, en lo que casi todos los implicados dicen que fue un grave error judicial, fue condenado por homicidio involuntario y solo cumplió varios años de prisión.
Griffin, Dominick y Charles Wessler, amigo de la familia y productor ganador de un Oscar, se dedicaron a perseguir a Sweeney, consiguiendo que lo despidieran de al menos siete trabajos tras salir de la cárcel.
En un nuevo documental de TMZ en FOX el lunes por la noche a las 9/8 Central, Wessler cuenta una historia que transcurre en el funeral de Dominique, donde un actor muy famoso -alguien que todo el mundo conoce- se acercó a él y le dijo que conocía a "gente" que podría encargarse de Sweeney para siempre, es decir, matarlo.
Wessler dejó claro que no era lo que la familia quería, pero muestra el nivel de indignación.
Cuando las ruedas de la justicia empezaron a girar, se hizo evidente que el proceso legal había ido terriblemente mal. El juez no permitió que el jurado escuchara a la anterior novia de Sweeney, que tenía una historia horrible de cómo él la maltrató repetidamente hasta el punto de que acabó en el hospital varias veces. La mujer rompió su silencio por primera vez en nuestro documental.
En cuanto a la oferta de realizar un golpe contra Sweeney, a juzgar por la forma en que Wessler cuenta la historia, el actor podría haber tenido vínculos con la mafia.
Se puede oír el dolor que experimentó la familia y los amigos de Dominique por no haber podido vengar nunca adecuadamente la muerte de Dominique, algo que examinamos en detalle en nuestro nuevo doc. "Matar a una estrella de cine: Una Grave Injusticia".
Se emite el lunes en FOX a las 9/8c y llega a Hulu al día siguiente.

Farrah Abraham Los niños en las redes no son el problema... Prohíban a los pervertidos

Farrah Abraham no está contenta con un proyecto de ley en Florida que prohibiría a los niños el uso de redes sociales, diciendo que la legislación se dirige a las víctimas en lugar de abordar el verdadero problema.
Esta es la cuestión, un nuevo proyecto de ley aprobado por la Cámara de Representantes de Florida pretende prohibir que cualquier persona menor de 16 años pueda tener una cuenta de redes sociales con la esperanza de proteger la salud mental de los niños.
Hablamos con Farrah el viernes y piensa todo lo contrario al proyecto, es decir, que las redes sociales son buenas para los niños y que limitar su acceso podría limitar su creatividad, por no hablar de su identidad e ingresos potenciales.
También le preocupa que bloquear el acceso de los niños a las redes sociales pueda deteriorar su fortaleza mental y su formación, argumentando que encerrar a los niños en una burbuja no les hace ningún favor.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Si los legisladores quieren moderar las redes sociales, Farrah dice que deberían centrarse en los pervertidos que las hacen inseguras. Lo que quiere decir es que los niños, como su hija Sophia, no deberían ser expulsados de la plataforma cuando a los "criminales" que se aprovechan de ellos se les permite andar a sus anchas.
Por ejemplo, dice que a su hija de 14 años, que tiene más de 800.000 seguidores, recibe mensajes de hombres adultos en las redes sociales, y en Cameo le piden fotos de sus pies.
Sugiere que se deberían crear más módulos instructivos en Internet para educar a más niños sobre los peligros de Internet.
Por cierto, Farrah dice que ha tomado cursos de seguridad en línea que realmente la han ayudado y le ha transmitido esas lecciones a Sophia.
Después de hablar con ella, Farrah publicó un video reiterando varios de los puntos que cubrimos sobre cómo hacer que las redes sean más seguras para los niños.
En resumen, Farrah está a favor de que los niños mantengan su presencia en Internet y se opone a la legislación propuesta en Florida.
Farrah Abraham Kids on Social Not Problematic ... Ban Predators Instead!!!

Farrah Abraham's not happy about a proposed bill in Florida that would ban kids from social media, saying the legislation targets victims instead of addressing the real issue.
Here's the deal ... a new bill passed through the Florida House of Representatives Wednesday that will cut off anyone under the age of 16 from getting a social media account with the hope that it will protect kids' mental health.
We talked to Farrah on Friday, and she thinks the total opposite is true -- that social media's great for kids, and limiting their access could limit their creativity ... not to mention affecting their branding and potential income.
She's also worried blocking kids from social media will put a dent in their mental strength and training ... arguing that putting children in a bubble ain't doing them any favors.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
If lawmakers want to moderate social media, FA says they should focus on predators who make social media unsafe. Her point is ... kids, like her daughter Sophia, shouldn't be kicked off a platform when the "criminals" preying on children are allowed to run rampant.
For instance, she says her 14-year-old -- who has more than 800k followers -- gets DM'd by grown men on social media, and on Cameo they ask her for feet pics.
She suggests instructional online modules should be created to educate more kids on Internet dangers.
FWIW, Farrah says she's taken online safety courses which have really helped her, and she's passed those lessons on to Sophia.
After we spoke to her, Farrah posted a video reiterating several of the points we covered about making social media safer for kids.
Bottom line Farrah's all for children maintaining their online presence ... and opposes the proposed legislation in Florida.

Kevin Von Erich Zac y Jeremy interpretan a grandes luchadores... Pero son demasiado pequeños para el ring real!!!

La leyenda de la lucha libre Kevin Von Erich está alabando la forma en que Zac Efron y Jeremy Allen White lo están retratando a él y a su famoso hermano en una nueva película sobre su vida, pero dice que no hay manera de que puedan estar en un ring real.
Kevin, el protagonista de "The Iron Claw", le dice a TMZ que Zac, Jeremy y Harris Dickinson hicieron un gran trabajo interpretándolo a él y a sus hermanos Kerry y David Von Erich, aunque cree los actores son demasiado pequeños para ser luchadores profesionales.
No lo malinterpretes, Kevin no está criticando aquí, solo está siendo realista.
De hecho, Kevin no tiene más que amor por "The Iron Claw", que cuenta la historia de su famosa familia en la lucha libre.
Kevin dice que la película hace un trabajo bastante bueno en comprimir tantas historias en 2 horas, y que es bastante exacta en cuanto a los hechos, al menos para los estándares de Hollywood.
Una cosa en la que "The Iron Claw" se tomó algunas libertades fue en la relación con su padre, el luchador profesional Fritz Von Erich. Kevin dice que su papá nunca quiso que se metiera en la lucha libre, a diferencia de cómo se muestra en la película.
También entiende por qué el director dejó a su hermano Chris Von Erich fuera del filme y quiere que la gente sepa que nunca habría llegado a tales alturas sin el cristianismo, algo que la película omite.
Pero bueno, es Hollywood y Kevin conoce el juego.
En general, parece que está bastante satisfecho con el proyecto final, pero dice que no hay que dejarse engañar por la cámara, Zac y Jeremy no son tan grandes.

Wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich is praising the way Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White portray him and his famous brother in a new movie about their life ... but he says there is no way they would make it in a real ring.
Kevin, the subject of "The Iron Claw," tells TMZ ... Zac, Jeremy and Harris Dickinson did a great job bringing him and his brothers Kerry and David Von Erich to life ... though the actors are way too small to cut it as pro wrestlers.
Don't get it twisted, Kevin's not hating here ... he's just keeping it real.
In fact, Kevin has nothing but love for 'Iron Claw,' which tells the story of his famous wrestling family.
Kevin says the film does a pretty good job boiling down so many stories into a 2-hour movie ... and it's pretty much historically accurate, at least by Hollywood standards.
One thing Kevin says 'Iron Claw' took some liberties with is his relationship with his father ... pro wrestler Fritz Von Erich. Kevin says his pops never wanted him to get into wrestling, unlike the way it's portrayed in the flick.
Kevin also understands why the director left his brother Chris Von Erich out of the movie ... and he wants folks to know he never would have risen to such heights without Christianity ... something the movie omits.
But hey, it's Hollywood ... and Kevin knows the name of the game.
Overall, it sounds like Kevin's pretty pleased with the final project ... but he says don't let the camera fool you, Zac and Jeremy aren't that big.

Dominique Dunne KILLER BF TERRORIZED New Girlfriend AFTER Murder TRIAL

The trial of the boyfriend of actress Dominique Dunne -- one of the stars of "Poltergeist" -- stands out as one of the most appalling miscarriages of justice ... and what unfolded in the aftermath of the 1982 murder is especially unsettling -- all exposed in our new FOX primetime special ... which unearths shocking new evidence.
In the harrowing doc airing Monday night, we confirm Griffin Dunne's lingering suspicion his sister's killer, John Sweeney, had committed more domestic violence after the trial -- one particular case from 2000 ... when a woman filed a restraining order against him, alleging shocking brutality.
Too scared to speak on camera, the woman speaks directly to Harvey Levin ... recalling how he dragged her by her ponytail through a hotel lobby, shoved her head in a bathtub, pushed her against a wall, and put his hands on her collarbone near her throat.
She escaped with their infant child and hasn't seen him since ... and despite getting the police involved, Sweeney wasn't charged with a crime.
Charles Wessler, an Oscar-winning producer and family friend of the Dunnes, says the recent revelations don't come as a surprise ... claiming Sweeney still caries the same volatile rage to this very day. Dominque's devastated pal Gloria echoes the sentiment, saying he was never cured ... calling him a caged animal.
Harold Johnson, the lead detective in the 1982 case, is equally disturbed ... saying it's a travesty a man as violent as Sweeney is still going around choking women.
"TMZ Investigates: Killing a Movie Star: Grave Injustice" premieres Monday January 29 on FOX at 9/8c and the next day on Hulu.

Bahamas Shark Attack Blood From Bit Child Fills Tank ... Gruesome Video Shows
-
Exclusive
- 572 shares
Chilling new video of the Bahamas shark attack shows the terrifying moments after the boy nearly got his leg chomped off as the water in the tank turned a misty blood red.
TMZ has obtained shocking footage capturing the seconds after the 10-year-old boy -- who was the victim in this case -- frantically swam to the top of the tank as his father, who heroically jumped into the water, helped him over to a ladder. It's as dramatic as can be.
Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... the dad carried the boy up the ladder onto a landing before rushing off with his son to get him medical attention, which can be seen in one of the photos. We're told the boy's mom and Atlantis Resort staff assisted the father in his efforts.
According to one source ... the boy climbed down into the tank with a chaperone on January 15 as part of the shark experience for guests at the Atlantis Bahamas Resort.
1/15/24
Wearing a large white helmet and heavy oxygen tank, the boy stood with the chaperone on the floor of the tank as the sharks whipped past them. Two of the reef sharks were aggressively swimming around the boy -- and one of them darted through his legs.
This caused the boy to lose his footing and straddle the shark, which turned its head around and sank its sharp teeth into one of his legs near the calf area. That caused him to bleed.
The boy's mom freaked out, screaming, "Did that just bite him?" She then realized, "Oh my gosh, that's my son." The mom, along with the boy's father, sprung into action to assist.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force said the boy -- on vacation from Maryland -- got bit on the right leg and was taken to the hospital ... thankfully, he was in stable condition, and Atlantis shut down their tanks immediately.
Remember, we got a hold of footage and photos that showed what this same shark tank looked like just a couple days prior to this incident -- and while it might've looked a bit crowded in there (with more sharks than humans), we were assured that's standard.
This attraction at the resort has since been shut down ... as they reevaluate their procedures for their guests moving forward.
We reached out again to Blue Adventures by Stuart Cove -- the company that manages this excursion at the resort -- for new comment ... so far, no word back.

Aquí vemos a Richard Marx despotricando contra una mujer en la audiencia que gritó cuando estaba tocando una canción, y él no se pudo aguantar y fue tras sus padres.
El cantante, que es conocido en Hollywood por ser un tipo bastante agradable, estaba interpretando su éxito "Angelia" cuando alguien en la multitud comenzó a hablar por encima de la música.
En el video obtenido por TMZ, se escucha a la mujer hablando lo suficientemente fuerte como para ser escuchada por encima de la voz y la guitarra de Rick. Tanto, que otras personas del público intentaron hacerla callar.
Rick parece imperturbable y termina su canción, pero luego aborda el asunto.
Es bastante épico, y dice: "Tengo una genuina curiosidad por saber quién te educó para pensar que cualquier cosa que pudieras gritar es más importante que lo que estábamos haciendo".
Entonces Rick dejó caer el martillo: "¡¡¡Aprenda a tener algunos jodidos modales, señora!!!".

Rick está de gira con Rick Springfield y estaban actuando en Port Chester, Nueva York cuando se produjo el abucheo, y Springfield estaba del lado de Marx.

Dominique Dunne Killer BF's Ex Details DV Jurors Didn't Hear ... Testimony Would Have Changed Outcome

Dominique Dunne was a rising star -- delivering the iconic line in "Poltergeist" -- before her life was tragically taken at the hands of her then-boyfriend ... and there's a woman who was not allowed to testify who could have changed the outcome of his trial.
The decades-old case against John Sweeney -- the man who strangled the young star back in 1982 -- is being reexamined anew in a documentary produced by TMZ Studios ... which puts a fresh light on the trial, the aftermath .... and presents shocking new evidence.
At the time, prosecutors charged Sweeney with first-degree murder case. He was convicted of manslaughter, and he was back on the streets after only 2 1/2 years behind bars.
The jurors you'll hear from in the documentary were stunned when we showed them our interview with Sweeney's prior girlfriend, Lillian Pierce, telling us had they heard from her they would have thrown the book at Sweeney.
Pierce was not allowed to testify during the trial ... the judge felt it would be unfair to Sweeney if she explained how he had repeatedly brutalized her. Pierce has never spoken publicly about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Sweeney, until now.
Check out the video ... what Pierce went through was horrific, and it mirrors some of what Dominique experienced. She says Sweeney was wired to attack his girlfriend when he got mad.
What's more, we found yet another girlfriend whom Sweeney brutalized AFTER he was released from prison.
Our doc, "Killing a Movie Star: Grave Injustice" airs Monday on FOX at 9/8c.
