NFL's Breece Hall Confronted By Angry Fan ... Carl Banks Intervenes

Published | Updated

UPDATE

10:45 AM PT -- Breece Hall is breaking his silence on the incident ... saying, "If you know me you know I always show love!!! There’s a time and a place for everything but harassing me at baggage claim ain’t the time or place💯."

Breece also thanked Carl and "my guy Joe" for getting involved ... adding their presence helped keep the peace.

Breece Hall came face-to-face with an overzealous autograph seeker when he touched down in Jersey after a week of partying in Vegas at the Super Bowl ... and things got so tense, NY Giants legend Carl Banks stepped in to prevent things from escalating!

The incident went down last Sunday at Newark Airport just a few minutes after the 22-year-old got off his flight, while he was waiting at baggage claim ... when a fan *attempted* to get Breece's John Hancock.

For whatever reason, Hall, one of the best running backs in the NFL, didn't want to sign, so he declined ... and that's when things went south.

A witness heard the commotion and whipped out his phone and started rolling.

It's unclear exactly what was said/done to kick things off, but the fan was heard telling Hall, "So, be a man. If you're gonna slap me, slap me!"

61-year-old Banks, the 2x Super Bowl-winning Giants linebacker intervened, putting his 6'4" frame in between the fan and Breece, while encouraging the guy to keep it moving.

But, the guy wasn't done ... he continued jawing at Hall, who seemed to keep his cool despite the stressful situation.

At one point, another witness off-camera is heard warning the angry man, "It's a federal crime if you get in a fight at the airport."

Seemingly taking the advice, the man finally walks off ... but not before hurling one last insult at the NFL star.

"Get the f*** out of here, p****!"

As for why Banks assisted Hall, we asked Carl ... #58 said he wasn't going to stand by and let his buddy get screwed with.

Who says the Giants and Jets are rivals?

Lil Tjay Kanye Proved 'Cancel Culture' Is Cap ... Sign Me Up For 'Vultures 2'!!!

Published

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have the No. 1 album in the game after much controversy -- a controversy Lil Tjay says won't ever contain the wave.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Trench Baby ahead of his trip to Dubai and while he was impressed with the success of Ye's "Vultures 1" ... 148,000 equivalent album units to be exact ... Tjay thinks the project would have tripled in sales with his usual major label support.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Ye actually placed some blame on the existing streaming service agreements when we spoke to him about the album's release ... but it's his 11th consecutive No. 1 project, a big win nonetheless!!!

Ye also blew off the perception that he's "canceled" after his antisemitic comments -- something Tjay apparently agrees with wholeheartedly.

Tjay notes the worst-case scenario is being blocked from the music industry machine -- something that Ye has already experienced releasing the album independently.

On February 15, Ye had to do an emergency swap after his original distributor, FUGA, abandoned ship before Create Music Group's Label Engine hub welcomed him with open arms.

Travis Scott, Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs and North West were among the guests who helped get "Vultures 1" to the top of the charts but Tjay's calling dibs on the next album.

Count him in, Ye.

ferviente BUSCADOR DE AUTÓGRAFOS

actualización

10:45 AM PT -- Breece Hall rompe su silencio sobre el incidente: "Si me conoces sabes que siempre muestro amor. Hay un momento y un lugar para todo, pero acosarme en la recogida de equipajes no es el momento ni el lugar💯".

Breece también agradeció a Carl y a "mi chico Joe" por involucrarse, añadiendo que su presencia ayudó a mantener la paz.

Breece Hall se encontró cara a cara con un buscador de autógrafos demasiado entusiasta cuando aterrizó en Jersey después de una semana de fiesta en Las Vegas por el Super Bowl, y las cosas se pusieron tan tensas, ¡que la leyenda de los NY Giants, Carl Banks, intervino para evitar que las cosas pasaran a mayores!

El incidente tuvo lugar el pasado domingo en el aeropuerto de Newark, solo unos minutos después de que el joven de 22 años bajara de su vuelo, mientras esperaba en la recogida de equipajes. Fue entonces cuando un fan comenzó a pedirle un autógrafo.

Por alguna razón, Hall -uno de los mejores corredores de la NFL- no quería firmar, por lo que declinó, y ahí es cuando las cosas se pusieron feas..

Un testigo escuchó la conmoción y sacó su teléfono para grabar.

No está claro exactamente lo que se dijeron o lo que pasó en un comienzo, pero el fan le dijo a Hall: "Sé un hombre. Si vas a abofetearme, abofetéame".

Banks, de 61 años de edad, intervino, poniendole fin al problema, mientras animaba al chico a seguir adelante.

Pero, el tipo no había terminado, continuó molestando a Hall, que parecía mantener la calma a pesar de la situación estresante.

En un momento dado, otro testigo fuera de cámara se escucha advirtiéndole al hombre enojado, "Es un delito federal si te metes en una pelea en el aeropuerto".

Aparentemente, siguiendo el consejo, el hombre finalmente se marcha, pero no sin antes lanzar un último insulto a la estrella de la NFL.

"¡Lárgate de aquí, p***, ****!".

En cuanto a por qué Banks ayudó a Hall, le preguntamos y dijo que no iba a quedarse de brazos cruzados mientras molestaban a su amigo.

¿Quién dice que los Giants y los Jets son rivales?

Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sanchez cenan en un restaurante chino Del Strip Mall

Published | Updated

Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez pueden valer miles de millones... pero a veces ponen los pies en la tierra y quieren disfrutar de las cosas simples de la vida.

El fundador de Amazon y su prometida -quienes están muy acostumbrados a la vida de lujo- fueron vistos en un restaurante relativamente pequeño en Miami el domingo llamado Tropical chino, y se sentaron para compartir una comida con otra pareja.

Si crees que destacarían como un pulgar dolorido en un antro como este ... pues estás en lo cierto. Como se puede ver en estas fotos obtenidas por TMZ - Jeff y co. ciertamente parecían celebridades en una parte muy normie de la ciudad. Y, en un modesto establecimiento como este - tal vez el doble.

La razón por la que sabemos que es cierto ... algunos de los clientes del restaurante - y algunos empleados también, al parecer - se acercó a charlar con JB y su equipo ... al parecer en el temor de que estaba allí.

A Jeff no parecía importarle la atención, fue visto sonriendo y sacándose fotos con los trabajadores del lugar. Una vez que él y su amada fueron finalmente capaces de sentarse y comer, nos dicen que disfrutaron del pato Pekín, que cuesta alrededor de $78 en ese lugar.

Es un menú completo de dos platos y sin duda una de sus ofertas más caras. Todo lo demás es bastante asequible, una orden de arroz frito en este lugar cuesta entre $15 y $26.

Teniendo en cuenta que Jeff y Lauren están acostumbrados a un cierto nivel de vida, esto debe haber sido algo "pintoresco" para ellos. Oye, ¡los multimillonarios también necesitan fideos grasientos!

Madonna se cae en el escenario Durante un concierto en Seattle

el show debe continuar

Madonna sufrió un percance en el escenario este fin de semana. Resulta que se cayó hacia atrás durante su último show... afortunadamente se encuentra bien.

La cantante estaba en medio de la actuación del domingo por la noche en el Climate Pledge Arena en Seattle -su última parada en la gira "Celebration"- y mientras estaba cantando "Open Your Heart", ella y uno de sus bailarines de apoyo intentó un movimiento coreografiado en una silla.

En el video obtenido por TMZ, se puede ver a la diva sentada en la silla, mientras su bailarín la inclina hacia atrás, solo para perder el control y enviar a su jefa directamente al suelo.

No está claro qué es exactamente lo que salió mal, pero por lo que parece, el tipo perdió su agarre mientras la arrastraba por escenario, lo que terminó con Madonna de espaldas en el suelo.

Ella se quedó acostada por un segundo, pero el espectáculo continuó. El bailarín hizo todo para disimular y Madonna finalmente se puso de pie para seguir adelante.

Es curioso... algo parecido ocurrió en otro concierto suyo hace poco... solo que no era la estrella del pop la que estaba en la silla, sino Old Saint Nick, quien tuvo una buena caída.

Las rutinas con la sillas en el escenario parecen algo bastante difícil...

Quedan advertidos.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez Chowing Down at Chinese Restaurant ... Like Strip Mall Normies!!!

Published | Updated

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez might be worth billions -- but they're just like us ... 'cause sometimes, they just want some basic lo mein, and when they do -- they dine in.

The Amazon founder and his fiancée -- who are quite accustomed to the high life -- rolled into a relatively dinky restaurant in Miami Sunday called Tropical Chinese and they sat down for a meal with another couple for dinner.

If you think they'd stand out like a sore thumb in a joint like this ... well, you're right. As you can see in these photos obtained by TMZ -- Jeff and co. most certainly looked like celebs in a very normie part of town. And, in a modest establishment like this -- perhaps doubly so.

The reason we know that's true ... some of the restaurant patrons -- and some staff too, it seems -- came over to chat it up with JB and his crew ... apparently in awe he was there.

Jeff didn't seem to mind the attention ... he was seen smiling and yukking it up with the commoners -- and once he and his party were finally able to sit down and munch, we're told they appeared to be delving into the Peking duck ... which goes for about $78 there.

It's a whole two-course deal there and certainly one of their pricier offerings. Everything else is fairly affordable ... a fried rice order at this place costs between $15 and $26.

Considering Jeff and Lauren are used to a certain standard of living in their day-to-day -- this must've been a nice change of pace for them. Hey, billionaires need greasy noodles too!

Madonna Falls Off Chair Onstage ... During Seattle Concert

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Madonna suffered a mishap onstage this weekend ... which saw her go toppling backward in the middle of the show -- but thankfully, she seemed to be okay.

The singer was in the middle of performing Sunday night at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle -- her latest stop on the "Celebration" tour -- and while she was belting out "Open Your Heart," she and one of her backup dancers attempted this choreographed move on a chair.

In video obtained by TMZ, you can see Madge sitting in the chair -- which her dancer tilts back ... only to lose control and send his boss straight to the floor. It stunned the crowd.

Unclear what exactly went wrong here ... but from the looks of it, the dude lost his grip as he was dragging her back down the stage plank, and it ended with Madonna on her back.

SANTA'S LAPDANCE

Madge was laying there for a quick sec, but the show went on ... with her dancer continuing to strut his stuff -- and Madonna herself eventually rising to her feet and keeping it going.

Funny enough ... something similar happened at yet another concert of hers recently -- only it wasn't the pop star in the chair, but rather ... Old Saint Nick, who took quite a tumble.

Chair routines onstage -- pretty tricky, and seem to end with folks laid out on their ass.

Careful out there, y'all.

OnlyFans model and Fortnite gamer Corinna Kopf has a mess to go through when she gets home ... because her place in Los Angeles got hit by burglars.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Corinna's home was burglarized last week, with thieves smashing through glass to get inside her house.

We're told the incident went down while Corinna was out of town ... and she got a notification on her phone that someone had broken into her place.

Cops say someone from Corinna’s team notified police, who rushed up to her pad ... but by the time cops and her people got there, the burglars were gone.

Unclear what, if anything, was stolen and how much those items might be worth. Cops say Corinna will go through her belongings when she gets home to figure out what's missing.

We're told police are reviewing video from the home and looking around the neighborhood for more footage ... the case remains under investigation and there have been no arrests.

It looks like Corinna's pretty far from home ... her social media posts indicate she's down in Australia.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Autographed Book Up For Sale ... Inscribed To Nurse Who Saved His Life

Published | Updated

There's a piece of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy on the market ... a book he inscribed to a nurse who helped save his life following an assassination attempt.

MLK signed a copy of his book, "Stride Toward Freedom," and wrote a personalized note to Gwen Brown, thanking her for caring for him at Harlem Hospital after his 1958 stabbing.

The autographed copy is going up for sale over at Moments In Time ... with a $35,000 price tag.

MLK was actually at a book signing for this very book at Blumstein's Department Store in Harlem when Izola Ware Curry approached him and stabbed him in the chest with a steel letter opener.

The stab wound was so close to MLK's aorta he would have died if he sneezed or coughed on his way to the hospital. With Gwen's help, MLK made a full recovery.

MLK's note to Gwen reads ... "With best wishes and genuine appreciation for the attention you gave me as one of my nurses while I recuperated at Harlem Hospital."

The inscription is written in cursive and features MLK's iconic autograph.

Zachery Ty Bryan Arrested For Alleged DUI

Published | Updated

Zachery Ty Bryan has been arrested for a suspected DUI ... TMZ has confirmed.

Online records show Bryan, 42, was booked by La Quinta Police early Saturday morning for driving under the influence with three or more priors. He was also booked for contempt of court, a misdemeanor.

A spokesperson for the La Quinta Sheriff's Department tells TMZ ... cops conducted a traffic stop just after 2 AM after they saw a vehicle they suspected of being involved in a traffic collision.

The officers say they spoke to the driver -- later identified as Bryan -- who allegedly showed signs of impairment leading to his arrest. Bryan's next court date is set for April 23.

This marks just the latest in a long string of legal issues Bryan's faced over the last few years. ZTB was arrested back in 2020 for allegedly strangling his then-girlfriend ... he pled guilty the following year to menacing and assault in the fourth degree.

And, just last year, Zachery was arrested last summer after police got a call about a dispute between a male and female.

Danny Masterson es trasladado A un centro más humano

Published | Updated

Danny Masterson tuvo un buen día tras las rejas, siendo trasladado de una de las peores prisiones de California a un centro de detención más humano.

El actor, que protagonizó la famosa "That 70's Show", fue trasladado fuera de la Prisión Estatal de Corcoran, en Corcoran, a la Colonia de Hombres de California de San Luis Obispo.

La reubicación de Masterson probablemente tendrá un impacto positivo en su vida.

Hablamos de una prisión de seguridad media a mínima con dos instalaciones de alojamiento separadas, según el sitio web del Departamento de Correcciones y Rehabilitación de California.

Masterson estrá encerrado en el Centro Este o en el Centro Oeste, ambos ofrecen programas de autoayuda y académicos para enseñarle a los reclusos habilidades profesionales y de otro tipo. Los reclusos también disponen de asesoramiento sobre abuso de sustancias, tratamiento de salud mental y cursos de control de la ira.

Las condiciones son sin duda un paso adelante de donde Danny estaba antes.

Corcoran -una penitenciaría de máxima seguridad- fue una vez el hogar del difunto Charles Manson, y actualmente alberga a algunos de los delincuentes más mortíferos del estado. En 2017, Manson murió de un paro cardíaco agudo y cáncer de colon mientras cumplía cadena perpetua por el infame asesinato de Sharon Tate.

Como ya sabemos, Masterson fue condenado a 30 años de prisión tras su condena en 2023 en Los Ángeles por dos cargos de violación forzada.

Danny Masterson Transferred From 'Manson' Prison ... To Nicer Digs Behind Bars

Published

Danny Masterson caught a break behind bars ... getting transferred from one of California's worst prisons to a more humane detention facility.

The actor, who famously starred in "That 70's Show," was moved out of Corcoran State Prison in Corcoran to the California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo.

Masterson's relocation will likely have a positive impact on his life.

CMC is a medium to minimum security prison with two separate housing facilities, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website.

Masterson is locked up in either East Facility or West Facility, both of which offer self-help and academic programs to teach inmates vocational and other skills. Substance abuse counseling, mental health treatment and anger management courses are also available to prisoners.

TMZ INVESTIGATES

The conditions are certainly a step up from where Danny was before.

Corcoran – a maximum security penitentiary -- was once home to the late Charles Manson – and currently houses some of the state's deadliest offenders. In 2017, Manson died from acute cardiac arrest and colon cancer while serving a life term for the notorious Tate-LaBianca murders.

As you know ... Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison after his 2023 Los Angeles conviction on 2 counts of forcible rape.
