Kanye West La cultura de la cancelación no te derribará Ye ... Consenso entre famosos

Kanye West es libre de vomitar todo el odio antisemita que desee porque a estas alturas es casi seguro decir que nunca será cancelado, al menos ese es el sentimiento entre algunas personalidades del mundo del entretenimiento.
Como parte de nuestro nuevo documental sobre Kanye, que se estrena el lunes a las 9/8c en FOX, le preguntamos a Bill Maher, The Game y Angela Yee si la cultura de la cancelación vendría alguna vez por Ye y la respuesta es un rotundo "NO", por varias razones.
Bill dice que el Ángel de la Muerte parece simplemente pasar por encima de la casa de Kanye, lo que es un juego de palabras porque otros en Hollywood han visto sus carreras descarriladas por un comportamiento mucho menos atroz.
DECEMBER 2022
The Game dice que todo recae sobre la mentalidad de Kanye. Nos dice que Ye no tiene miedo de la cultura de la cancelación y, por lo tanto, no puede ser víctima. No importa lo que diga sobre el pueblo judío o de cualquier tipo.
Para Angela, Kanye ya ha sobrepasado los límites y en este punto tendría que hacer algo realmente horrible, como cometer un crimen, por ejemplo, para ser realmente cancelado.

Move over, Jason Kelce ... Shaquille O'Neal tells TMZ Sports he's hoping to score a seat right next to Taylor Swift at Super Bowl LVIII!!
The Big Diesel made his intentions known during a chat with us this week ahead of the Big Game ... saying straight up he wants a premium chair in Swift's suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas next Sunday.
"Hey, Taylor!" the NBA legend said with a smile. "Love you!"
Of course, there are plenty of people who are already vying for the spot. Jason obviously has some dibs -- his brother, Travis Kelce, is playing in the game after all -- as does Brittany Mahomes ... and anyone else from Swift's girl gang for that matter.
But it seems Shaq really wants in ... even saying he'll be rooting for Travis and Kansas City during the tilt!
There's more ... we also talked to the former Lakers center about his annual Super Bowl party, Shaq's Fun House, and he said in addition to Diplo and Lil Wayne, he's expecting even more artists -- perhaps even Snoop Dogg -- to show up.
Shaq also talked about his daughter, Me'Arah, saying he's super proud that she was selected to play in the McDonald's All-American Game this year.

Boxing Star Jarrell Miller Asks To Remove Ankle Monitor ... I Can't Train With This Thing, Your Honor!!!

Exclusive

Jarrell Miller is pleading with a judge to remove the ankle monitor that officials placed on him following his carjacking arrest last month ... claiming the thing is hindering his ability to prep for future fights.
The boxing star's attorney filed a motion to amend the conditions of his pre-trial release last week ... stating in the docs Miller "trains as a fighter for a living and having a monitor limits his training."
Miller's lawyer also said the 26-1-1 pugilist's request should be granted because he "has not been in any trouble before and is not a flight risk."
A judge is expected to make a ruling on the motion at a hearing in a Broward County courtroom later Monday.
Miller is facing two charges in the case -- one felony count of carjacking without a firearm and one felony count of burglary with assault or battery -- after prosecutors alleged he beat up an employee on a car dealership lot, before stealing a truck from the property.
In police video we obtained of his arrest back on Jan. 2 ... you can see he was in a jovial mood despite the allegations against him, joking around with cops before they placed him into a squad car.
Miller -- who last fought Daniel Dubois in December -- pled not guilty to the charges -- while adding in a statement on his social media pages, "I am prayerful and look forward to a favorable resolution of this case."

'Foodgod' Jonathan Cheban Fontainebleau Nachos Still Bad ... Hit Me Up, I'll Fix 'Em!!!

"Foodgod" Jonathan Cheban's not letting Fontainebleau Vegas off the hook -- even though the resort's updated its much-maligned nachos, he has a different plan for upping their appetizer game.
We got the reality TV personality/foodie out in NYC this week and asked him about Fontainebleau's viral nacho debacle. He was actually at the hotel's opening night, and while he complimented most of the menu options ... he went scorched earth on the nachos.
ICYMI, the meager nacho offering went viral after a pic of the plate, priced at $24, ended up on social media. The unappetizing dish caused a frenzy on X, and 'Bleau ultimately redid their nachos and posted an updated pic, trying to do some damage control.
JC's very clear on where the hotel went wrong ... saying the chef should've invited him into the kitchen to design a truly over-the-top nacho plate.
The Tavern menu was designed to be “bar food favorites, all grown up.” We hope you’ll excuse our growing pains while the nachos went through their awkward phase. We’re thrilled to report they’ve matured into one stacked snack. pic.twitter.com/CIibhiGMrQ
— Fontainebleau Las Vegas (@fblasvegas) January 25, 2024 @fblasvegas
As for whether nachos should even be on a five-star menu, the "Foodgod" is unequivocal -- it all depends on what you put on those bad boys! He was generous enough to offer up a few ingredients to make high-class gourmet nachos. Pay attention, Fontainebleau!!!
And, if the ritzy Vegas spot hears something they like here, it better move quickly. Foodgod's a gun for hire, and is already chatting with other Strip hotels.
One more thing, lots of folks were pissed about the $24 price tag for the "nachos" -- but Cheban's cosigning on that ... pointing out nachos at regular places go for about $17, and Fontainebleau's far from regular!
Fontainebleau Vegas might wanna get Foodgod on the horn, stat!

Brock Purdy's H.S. Coach Reflects on 49ers Quarterback Recruiters Didn't Want Him!
-
Exclusive
- 21 shares
Brock Purdy has always flown under the radar -- whether as a lightly recruited high school player or a college QB just hoping to get drafted -- the 49ers signal-caller has been overlooked, according to his H.S. coach ... though the collective football world shows signs they're starting to wise up!
"[The recruiters] don't know how to evaluate talent," former Perry High School head coach Preston Jones, wearer of a killer 'stache, told TMZ Sports this week.
"They don't know what's good and they look at all these things about height and speed. They don't look at winners and they don't look at all these things that [Purdy] is."
Before last season's unexpected turn of events (Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo going down), Purdy was just a 3-star prospect in the 2018 recruiting class ... and outside of Iowa State, he didn't get much attention at all.
Brock chose ISU ... and went off for the Cyclones during his four seasons, throwing for 12,170 passing yards and 81 passing touchdowns. he also ran for a bunch of yards and TDs ... and he broke 32 school records!
Stud ... maybe even a first-round pick with those gaudy numbers, right?
Not so fast. Purdy wasn't taken in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounds ... no, he was the last pick -- selection 262 -- in the 7th and final round of the 2022 Draft ... colloquially known as "Mr. Irrelevant."
He's not so irrelevant anymore ... and Jones thinks a lot of coaches are likely kicking themselves for overlooking Brock.
"There's a lot of guys that missed on him and they're gonna regret this one day," Coach Jones said. "I like to laugh at those guys now."
At the end of the day, Jones is ecstatic it's all worked out for his former QB -- who he calls the greatest offensive player he's ever coached -- believing everything turned out the way it was supposed to.
"It was destiny, it was so cool that it worked that way and it's also kinda been his life's story. Coming out of high school, not getting recruited ... so it was kinda perfect," Jones said.
"It's a great chapter in his book that's not done yet."
And, with a win over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Brock's story may actually end up being a book ... and a movie.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are being courted by a Las Vegas strip club ... not to work the poles, but to party their faces off if his team wins the Super Bowl across the street.
Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Las Vegas is offering Taylor and Travis what the strip joint's calling a Topless Touchdown Celebratory Package ... and it's valued at $1 million.
So long as Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas -- which is being played across the street from the Hustler Club -- the package is theirs for the taking ... and it's on the house.
Here's what $1 million gets ya inside the strip joint ... unlimited access to the $10K per hour Mohney Suite, an Ace of Spades champagne bottle parade, and $50K for Taylor and Travis to make it rain.
Oh, and that's not all ... roundtrip limo transportation is included, plus Taylor and Travis get a VIP Platinum Lifetime Membership to HC ... which gets them free lap dances for life.
Frankly, this is a Hail Mary from the Hustler Club ... it's hard to envision Taylor and Travis taking them up on the offer ... but then again, Travis wore a Vegas strip club shirt after a regular season win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Brittany Rose, the GM of the club, tells TMZ ... “We are used to catering to a-list celebrities and athletes alike so we can ensure their discretion will be met while partying inside our venue.”
Shooters shoot, right?!?
Even if Taylor and Travis turn 'em down, there's a good chance the Hustler Club is going to have a few Swifties in the house.
The gentlemen's club is currently auditioning Swifties for positions.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están siendo cortejados por un club de striptease de Las Vegas, no para trabajar en las mesas, sino que para la celebración sea en este espacio si su equipo gana el Super Bowl.
Hustler Club de Larry Flynt en Las Vegas le está ofreciendo a Taylor y Travis un paquete de celebración Topless Touchdown, que está valorado en $1 millón.
Siempre y cuando Travis y los Kansas City Chiefs venzan a los San Francisco 49ers en el Super Bowl LVIII en el Allegiant Stadium de Las Vegas, que se jugará al otro lado de la calle del Hustler Club, el paquete va por cuenta de la casa.
Esto es lo que te da un millón de dólares en el club de striptease: acceso ilimitado a la Mohney Suite, que cuesta 10.000 dólares por hora, un desfile de botellas de champán Ace of Spades y 50.000 dólares para que Taylor y Travis gasten.
Ah, y eso no es todo, el transporte ida y vuelta en limusina está incluido, además de que Taylor y Travis podrán obtener una membresía VIP Platinum de por vida a Hustler Club, que les consigue bailes gratis de por vida.
Francamente, esto es un Hail Mary por parte de Hustler Club, pero es difícil imaginar a Taylor y Travis tomando la oferta, pero de nuevo, Travis llevaba una camiseta de un club de striptease de Las Vegas después de una victoria en la temporada regular contra los Raiders.
Brittany Rose, General Manager del club, le dice a TMZ: "Estamos acostumbrados a atender a una lista de celebridades y atletas por lo que podemos garantizar que su discreción se cumplirá mientras la fiesta esté dentro de nuestro lugar."
Los tiradores disparan, ¿verdad?
Incluso si Taylor y Travis rechazan la oferta, hay una buena probabilidad de que el Club Hustler reciba a algunos Swifties en la casa.
El club de caballeros está actualmente audicionando Swifties para algunos puestos.
¡¡¡Viva Las Vegas!!!
Kim Kardashian y Kanye West Expertos en sicología opinan sobre la crianza de sus hijos

Los arrebatos de Kanye West han llevado a algunas personas a cuestionar su aptitud como padre, incluso algunos se han preguntado si Kim Kardashian debería poner límites en las interacciones de su exmarido con sus 4 hijos, aunque otros dicen que sería indignante restringirle los encuentros con ellos.
Como saben, Ye ha soltado numerosos comentarios antisemitas, ha dicho que se identifica con Adolf Hitler y que teme el "adoctrinamiento" judío de sus hijos. Se opone también a que los niños vayan a una "escuela judía".
Ahora en un nuevo TMZ Investiga, que se emitirá el lunes en FOX a las 9/8 central, diversos expertos en psicología y amigos de Kanye compartirán sus pensamientos sobre cómo la pareja está cuidando de sus hijos.
Uno de ellos es el Dr. Kevin Cokley, profesor de Psicología en la Universidad de Michigan, quien piensa que Kim necesita sentar a sus hijos y tratar de hacerles entender que pueden amar a su padre sin aprobar todo lo que dice.
Otros, entre ellos The Game, dicen que es absurdo preocuparse por Kanye y sus hijos. Game dice que Kanye los ama más de lo que se ama a sí mismo.
Aunque algunos pueden querer que Kim le prohíba a Kanye ver a sus dos hijos y dos hijas, sobre todo porque lucha con un trastorno de bipolaridad, el psiquiatra Dr. Kyle Smith dice que una persona no puede proteger a sus hijos de todo.
Smith dice que siempre y cuando Ye no está poniendo en peligro a los niños no es diferente de otros padres que tienen prejuicios, y eso es un grupo grande.

Kanye West's outbursts have led some people to question his fitness as a parent ... even wondering if Kim Kardashian should put guardrails on her ex-husband's interactions with their 4 kids, while others say it would be outrageous to curtail Ye's interactions with his children.
As you know ... Ye's spouted off numerous antisemitic comments -- saying he identifies with Adolf Hitler, fears Jewish "indoctrination" of his children, and is opposed to the kids going to a "Jewish school."
Now, in a new TMZ Investigates on FOX Monday night at 9/8 central ... experts in psychology, Kanye's friends, and others share their thoughts on how the couple is raising their kids.
One such expert is Dr. Kevin Cokley -- a Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan -- who thinks Kim needs to sit their kids down and try to get them to understand they can love their father without approving of everything he says.
Others, including The Game, say it's absurd to worry about Kanye and his kids ... Game says Kanye loves them more than he loves himself.
Though some may want Kim to stop Kanye from seeing their two sons and two daughters -- especially as he struggles with bipolar disorder ... psychiatrist Dr. Kyle Smith says a person can't shield their kids from everything.
Smith says as long as Ye's not endangering the children ... Kanye is no different than other parents who have prejudices ... and that's a big group.

Travis Kelce's Teammate Justin Reid Raves Over Taylor Swift ... 'She's Very, Very Sweet!!!'

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift clearly have the support of those in Kansas City's locker room ... 'cause Chiefs star Justin Reid tells TMZ Sports he's a huge fan of the pop star and her relationship with his teammate.
The K.C. defensive back said this week he has been able to interact with Swift since she and Kelce went public with their romance earlier this season ... and he had nothing but nice things to say about their encounters.
In fact, he said the 34-year-old "Love Story" crooner paid compliments to everyone he's seen her meet so far this year.
"She's very, very sweet," Reid told us ... "I don't understand why she's getting all the hate. She's an awesome person, awesome artist all around."
As for if Reid, Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs will get a private concert from Swift if they're able to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII next week ... Reid says he isn't exactly holding his breath on that one.
"I'm sure she'll be busy celebrating with her man," he said with a laugh.
Of course, it's not yet for sure if Swift will even attend Kelce's Big Game -- after all, she has a concert in Tokyo just a day before kickoff ... though given the way she's already traveled this year for Travis, it seems likely at this point.
And, it appears Reid and the rest of the Chiefs will be more than happy to have her around if and when she makes it to Vegas.

JIMI HENDRIX ICONIC HEADBAND HITS AUCTION BLOCK

As far as headbands go, Jimi Hendrix's one isn't just a piece of fabric, it's a massive chapter of pop culture history ... and bidders are now shelling out some serious $$$ to get their hands on it.
Heritage Auctions has listed the piece of clothing memorabilia that Jimi wore to a slate of legendary performances in the sixties ... and so far the bidding war's pushed the price tag to $13,500 -- and it's estimated to fetch up to $40,000.
Jimi's legendary red, blue, and white headgear graced the stage during 7 of his packed-out performances ... starting from Fillmore East, NYC, in 1969 to Memphis, TN, in 1970.
And, if that ain't enough to lure bidders ... there's an extra layer of value woven into this particular headband.
He wore it for his live performance of "Machine Gun" on New Year's Day 1970 ... you know, the one famously declared "the most brilliant, emotional display of virtuoso electric guitar playing I have ever heard" by concert promoter Bill Graham.
In fact, last year, Rolling Stones dubbed him the greatest guitarist of all time because of that very performance.
Securing a piece of Jimi's signature stage style ain't exactly budget-friendly ... but you have a few more weeks to break open the piggy bank before bidding ends!

Andre Reed Stefon Diggs Could Take Pay Cut To Stay In Buffalo ... 'They Need Him'

Andre Reed says he could definitely see Stefon Diggs returning to the Bills next season ... but he tells TMZ Sports the star wideout's wallet could be a little bit lighter if that's indeed the case.
Diggs' future in Buffalo appears to be in question this offseason ... as his 2024 cap figure has ballooned to nearly $30 million -- and, at times in his career, he's seemed upset with his role on the team.
In fact, even Diggs himself said at the Pro Bowl on Friday, "I can't tell you what the future holds."
Reed, though, tells us he's sure hoping Diggs comes back ... saying straight up, "They need him."
However, the Buffalo legend is clearly aware that Diggs might have to take a pay cut for it to happen.
"If anything, they'll ask him to do that to save cap space to bring some more guys in," Reed says. "Whether Stefon does that or not, I think he realizes where he is and what kind of team he's on. And, I can see him staying there."
As for Buffalo's head coach, Reed's obviously pleased ownership is sticking with Sean McDermott despite another disappointing playoff loss ... telling us he thinks the 49-year-old has what it takes to get the team over the hump next season.
He added that "these players respond to him" ... and he's now predicting a bounce-back in '24.
No matter what happens, Reed's going to be busy this Bills' offseason regardless ... he's recently joined the B.GOAT Whiskey team, and in addition to enjoying the fine booze, he's got hopes the brand will help bring not only football, but cricket, to a global audience.

There's even post-Super Bowl bets ... like if Swift and Kelce will still be together by the 2024-25 season or if she'll be pregnant before the New Year.
Usher also got some love ... with over 10 options for special guests who could join the R&B sensation during his halftime show -- including Swift (but it may be best to stay away from that one, given TMZ's recent report stating she will not join him during the performance).
Even if the "Cruel Summer" crooner doesn't take the stage, peeps could be feelin' rich if Ursher gives her a shoutout!!
Of course, President Joe Biden will be watching the biggest sports event of the year ... and there are several bets to see if he'll mention Mahomes or Swift in his pre-game interview.

Trae Tha Truth's decision to launch his first feature film on Tubi is paying off -- he's already plotting a sequel after earning the praise of some high-level peers!!!
TMZ Hip Hop sat down with the Houston rapper fresh off the movie, "Sole" dropping on the free streaming service -- it's a modern hood comedy set in his hometown he says is getting compared to Ice Cube's cult classic chuckler, "Friday."
Trae's real-life friends and fam fill out the cast, and he stars as "Eddie" ... a local sneaker boutique owner who gets involved with neighborhood thugs over some money they assume he stole -- and, as they say, hilarity ensues!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Trae tells us he knew Tubi's known to make low-budget films, but says it's also home to legit cinematic art ... and he wanted to contribute to that quality.
He says the streamer's execs were floored by the reception "Sole" is already getting -- and Martin Lawrence even gave him a ringing endorsement after seeing the film!!!
Such a glowing cosign would make anyone dive headfirst into acting and Trae's already 2 steps ahead -- next up is a full-length film of his animated ABN series, and a flick called "Space Trap" ... both are heading straight to Tubi.

TikTok Artist Mareux UMG/TikTok Beef Hurts Small Artists ... Looks Greedy To Me!!!

Universal Music Group wiping their songs from TikTok is going to hurt the label's smaller artists the most ... so says a musician who saw the app elevate his own artistic brand.
Mareux had his 2015 cover of The Cure's "The Perfect Girl" go viral in 2021 and it vaulted him to a Coachella performance ... an astronomical leap he feels will go away amid the UMG/TikTok dispute.
Mareux tells TMZ ... UMG saying they're pulling songs from TikTok to help artists financially is shady ... he says if UMG really cared about their artists they would beef up their contracts, not destroy their limitless opportunities on TikTok.
The way Mareux sees it ... artists getting their music integrated into TikTok posts is a great marketing tool. He says the exposure generated on TikTok can literally change an artist's career, like it did for him.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
Mareux says UMG is just being plain greedy here ... and he feels bad for the lesser-known artists who were relying on TikTok to market their music ... telling us they've got to be feeling super stressed.
UMG has a huge roster ... Taylor Swift, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Ice Spice, Rosalía ... and Mareux explains how the established acts are going to be impacted too.
Mareux's a great example of what TikTok can do for a relatively unknown musician ... his 'Perfect Girl' cover was kinda floating in the abyss for 6 years until it went viral on TikTok ... and he says he wouldn't have a career now without the app.
It's interesting ... Mareux says artists aren't making a lot of money directly from TikTok, but the exposure generated helps them make their money in different ways ... and he thinks the UMG strike will put an end to that cash flow.

Kayla Harrison Reflects On UFC Deal, Fight Vs. Holm ... Nunes Down The Road??

Kayla Harrison's opening up on all things UFC ... from her practice runs making 135 lbs. in the lead-up to her huge scrap with Holly Holm to whether she still has an interest in meeting Amanda Nunes in an Octagon!
33-year-old Harrison chopped it up with TMZ Sports ... weeks after she rocked the MMA world, moving from PFL to Dana White's promotion.
The 2x Olympic gold medalist and 2x PFL champion will fight 42-year-old Holm on the stacked UFC 300 card on April 13. We asked Kayla about signing with the UFC, and her thoughts on her legendary opponent.
"It's been amazing. Honestly, my life is so good. I really do feel like everything is happening at the right time and the right place with the right people," Harrison said.
"To be going to the Olympics of MMA on UFC 300 against Holly Holm, a legend in the sport. I'm so excited, I'm so amped. This is the s**t that gets me going, and yeah, I'm ready!"
When UFC 300 rolls around, it won't be happening at 145 or 155 lbs. ... no, Harrison is fighting at bantamweight. We asked her if she fears being able to make the weight.
"Listen there's this giant misconception about my weight, and I think people think I walk around at like 180 lbs. or something. The reality is I was fighting at 155 lbs. and I was walking into the cage at maybe 160 lbs. I don't get much bigger than 160."
Kayla continued ... "I was always the smaller fighter and usually the less experienced fighter. I don't believe in weight cutting, but now I'm going to do what everybody does and I'm gonna be in the cage and I'm gonna be the bigger, faster, stronger and more experienced fighter."
"Is it gonna suck? Yeah. I'm not gonna enjoy dieting, but it's a chosen sacrifice."
Harrison has long said she wants to be the G.O.A.T. ... a title Amanda Nunes currently lays claim to. We asked KH if she still has visions of fighting Nunes in the future.
"Listen, Amanda is the greatest of all time. That's a fact. So, of course, I would love for that to happen," Kayla told us.
"I've always said that, and not out of a place of disrespect. To me thats the highest compliment I could give her. you're the best, I want to find out what I'm made of with you.t a lot to prove. I've got a lot to do. I've got my work boots on. I'm in the gym, I'm hungry, I'm staying humble, but of course!"
"I've always said that, and not out of a place of disrespect. To me thats the highest compliment I could give her. you're the best, I want to find out what I'm made of with you."
The Lioness is still technically retired ... though it sounds like she could be gearing up for a comeback.
Retired or not, first things first ... Holly Holm, and Kayla has her hands full.
Check out the interview!
