Vicki Gunvalson Returns to 'RHOC' in New Cameo ... Over 'Tres Amigas' Drama!!!

Published

Vicki Gunvalson is coming back to Bravo ... returning to "The Real Housewives of Orange County" to confront her former friend Tamra Judge over the fallout of "Tres Amigas" -- and reconciliation attempts already led to an explosive confrontation ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the production tell us Vicki, an OG on 'RHOC,' was recently brought back by the network as a guest -- not a full-time housewife or friend -- to film a takedown between her and Tamra.

We're told Vicki was brought by fellow cast member Shannon Beador to a big group outing Thursday -- where all cast members were present -- to confront TJ. Our sources say show producers were hoping the women would hash out their issues and move on ... but, it doesn't seem that happened, 'cause instead we're told the whole night turned into an explosive fight between the trio.

By evening's end, our sources tell us the three ladies left with their friendship more broken than ever before.

BTW ... the Thursday gathering came after Vicki filmed a lunch earlier this week with Shannon and Heather Dubrow -- where Tamra was the hot topic, we're told.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It's pretty shocking to hear how fractured Tamra, Vicki, and Shannon's group friendship has become -- y'know, given how tight they were before TJ dropped out of "Tres Amigas" ... a live comedy project featuring all three women.

On her podcast, Tamra blamed her exit from "Tres Amigas" on scheduling conflicts and a desire not to enable Shannon following her DUI arrest and her frustrations with Vicki and Shannon ... who she thinks have been talking badly about her behind her back.

For Vicki's part, she claimed Tamra blindsided her and Shannon, who have since announced their own comedy tour. Meanwhile, Tamra hit the road to live tape her podcast "Two Ts In A Pod" with cohost Teddi Mellencamp -- who is one of Vicki's sworn enemies.

J. Robert Oppenheimer's Grandson Need To Reach Out to Opponents ... Can't Handle AI on Own

Published

Artificial intelligence, climate change and nuclear annihilation are just a few issues facing the human race ... and we've got no chance against them unless we work together -- at least according to J. Robert Oppenheimer's grandson.

Charles Oppenheimer ... founder of The Oppenheimer Project -- a nonprofit working toward creating a safer future as technology rapidly changes -- joined us on TMZ Live Friday to answer some of the biggest questions of our time.

When asked about the grim prospect of rogue AI, global warming and nukes ... Charles said it's easy to feel despair -- but he's choosing to stay hopeful instead, promoting cooperation between people on opposite sides of the issues.

The way Charles sees it ... we don't have to agree on everything, but we gotta come together on the big stuff to avoid massive extinction-level events.

CO says political tensions make everything worse ... so, he hopes people can put their politics aside to confront issues that affect everyone, regardless of political party or nationality.

Oppenheimer says the world totally shifted on its axis when the first atomic bomb went off in July 1945 which Charles said really heralded the beginning of global interdependence -- nations forced to rely on one another whether they wanted to or not.

Charles adds we can't go back to the days of the Cold War ... when a country tried to deter its enemies by building more bombs, essentially becoming the biggest, baddest dude on the block.

He said the only way out of that mindset is to work with those countries that otherwise might become enemies -- like China and Russia, two other global superpowers the U.S. doesn't exactly get along with.

The name Oppenheimer's on everyone's minds these days, mostly in regards to the Oscar-nominated flick -- but, there's another Oppenheimer focused on the world's problems too ... Charles, obviously.

ACTRESS COCOA BROWN Tyler Perry Offers $400K For New Pad ... After House Burns Down

Published | Updated

Cocoa Brown is the latest person to be overwhelmed by Tyler Perry's generosity -- 'cause he just offered her nearly half a million dollars for a new home after hers burned down.

The actress tells TMZ she's filled with profound gratitude over TP's support and that of everyone else who's donated to her GFM campaign. She has a lot to be grateful for ... 'cause Tyler chipped in a whopping $400k toward her cause.

Cocoa adds that she's been on an emotional roller coaster -- noting the devastation of watching her home go up in flames Sunday while feeling and trying to make sure her young son Phoenix was safe and sound.

But the comedian -- known for "For Better or Worse," alongside a slate of other movies and TV shows -- reiterates she and her son have been deeply moved by the outpouring of support they've received.

It's not just Tyler who's helped, BTW -- she's gotten other donations from Tiffany Haddish, Marlon Wayans, Byron Allen, Sherri Shepherd, "The Breakfast Club" podcast team, and numerous other friends, family and fans. All of them have given fairly generous amounts.

Cocoa has made sure to send a special shout-out to Pastor Mark and the entire congregation of McDonough Rd Baptist Church, who she says have gone above and beyond for her.

Despite the devastation of losing her home, Cocoa tells us "having each other, our fur babies, and seeing and feeling all this love has strengthened our love for each other and humanity."

The support is evident on Cocoa's GoFundMe page kickstarted by her loved ones, which has surpassed the $50,000 goal and then some. She's now on her way to $70,000 in donations.

N3ON es detenido por vehículo robado Pero parece que fue un error...

Published

Un video de N3on siendo detenido se ha vuelto viral en línea, pero TMZ ha descubierto qué fue lo que exactamente llevó a los oficiales del sheriff a detener a la estrella de redes sociales... y es increíble

N3on -que es un streamer y YouTuber popular entre los Gen-Z- apareció recientemente en un video que muestra a la joven estrella de internet de 19 años de edad con su séquito de siendo detenido por los oficiales en West Hollywood.

Echa un vistazo a la vid ... N3on abre la puerta y comienza a gritar preguntas a los policías acerca de por qué están esposando a su socio - antes de que los oficiales les dijeron que no se movieran y luego le ordenó a él ya sus amigos a poner las manos en los reposacabezas delante de ellos.

Un miembro del entorno de N3on se puede escuchar gritando desde fuera del coche ... un movimiento uno de los oficiales dijo que es "empeorar las cosas". Es dramático - y finalmente llegamos al fondo de lo que diablos pasó aquí ... y es bastante tonto, porque básicamente equivale a un error administrativo.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen ... N3on y su equipo fueron detenidos porque su vehículo fue aparentemente reportado como robado, que los lectores de placas en el coche de policía recogido en y marcado.

Se nos dice que los oficiales ordenaron N3on fuera del coche a punta de pistola como parte de una parada de coche delito grave - procedimiento operativo estándar - y fue entonces cuando N3on dijo a los oficiales que el coche había sido robado recientemente y luego recuperado por la policía de Los Ángeles. En otras palabras, fue robado y encontrado antes de que fueran conscientes de la actualización.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que los oficiales verificaron la historia de N3on y se enteraron de que el carro simplemente no había sido sacado del sistema. Nos han dicho que se lo explicaron a N3on -que, según nuestras fuentes, se mostró comprensivo- y lo dejaron en libertad sin más incidentes.

El video publicado por N3on parece confirmar esta versión, aunque, según nos han dicho, los agentes dejaron claro que su seguridad agravó la situación al interferir mientras intentaban hacer su trabajo. N3on hizo una broma al final, una que vamos a dejar que escuches por ti mismo.

YouTuber N3on Pulled Over in 'Stolen' Vehicle But Just A Clerical Error?!?

Published | Updated

A video of N3on getting pulled over has gone viral online ... but TMZ has learned what exactly led sheriff's deputies to stop the social media star mid-stream -- and it's wild.

N3on -- who's a streamer/YouTuber popular with the Gen-Z crowd -- was recently featured in a video posted to Kick ... which shows the internet-famous 19-year-old and his entourage getting stopped by deputies in West Hollywood.

Check out the vid ... N3on opens the door and starts shouting questions at the cops about why they're handcuffing his associate -- before officers told them not to move and then commanded him and his friends to put their hands on the headrests in front of them.

A member of N3on's entourage can be heard yelling from outside the car ... a move one of the officers said is "making it worse." It's dramatic -- and we finally got to the bottom of what the hell happened here ... and it's pretty silly, 'cause it basically amounts to a clerical error.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... N3on and his crew were pulled over because their vehicle was apparently reported stolen, which plate-readers in the cop car picked up on and flagged.

We're told Officers ordered N3on out of the car at gunpoint as part of a felony car stop -- standard operating procedure -- and that's when N3on told officers the car had recently been stolen and then recovered by LAPD. In other words, it was jacked and found before they were aware of the update.

Our sources tell us deputies verified N3on's story and found out the car just hadn't been taken out of the system. We're told they explained this to N3on -- who our sources say was understanding -- and released him without further incident.

Video N3on posted seems to confirm this account ... although, we're told officers made clear his security inflamed the sitch by interfering while they were trying to do their jobs. N3on cracked an NSFW joke at the end too -- one we'll let you listen to for yourself.

Eric Hosmer Yeah, New MLB Unis Aren't Great ... But I'm Sure They'll Fix 'Em!

DOING SOMETHING UNHEARD OF

MLB fans freaking out over their teams' new jerseys can take a chill pill ... 'cause Eric Hosmer tells TMZ Sports that even though they don't look so hot right now, he's sure the league will get it fixed by Opening Day.

The uniforms have been widely criticized by seamheads and even players all over the country after they were debuted earlier this month out at spring training.

Many have noted the new Nike designs have some serious flaws -- namely, the lettering on the back is too small and the positioning of some of the logos just doesn't feel right.

Plus, diehards have hated the way the pants have appeared to be see-through.

When we spoke with Hosmer about the hot-button topic this week ... he said he understood fans' concerns, admitting the jerseys do look "a little bit" like knockoffs. But, he added that he's almost positive changes will occur before Week 1.

"There's no doubt in my mind that they'll get it right before Opening Day," he said. "And those guys will be looking like Big Leaguers come April 1 -- whenever the first game is."

The former World Series champ also spoke with us about Shohei Ohtani's new, massive Dodgers contract -- and he gave us his prediction for who he thinks will be the toughest team to beat in 2024.

ataque de pitbull PROPIETARIO MUTILADO NO TENÍA por QUé MORIR La tragedia deja señales de alarma...

Published

El hombre trágicamente asesinado por pit bulls en Compton podría haber sido capaz de evitar la muerte si hubiera seguido algunas técnicas útiles, esto de acuerdo a un gran criador local.

El hombre que fue mutilado hasta la muerte por sus propios pitbulls en Compton -California- el pasado jueves, fue encontrado muerto el viernes.

Big Gemini Kennels -un criador de pit popular con un gran seguimiento en la comunidad canina de Los Ángeles- le dice a TMZ que la víctima de este horrible incidente parece haber tratado de manejar a demasiados perros al mismo tiempo. Esa es la opinión del experto al menos.

Big Gemini nos dice que tratar de manejar a 13 perros -incluso con algunos de ellos siendo cachorros- es demasiado. No solo eso, los informes del Condado dicen que este hombre estaba alimentando a todos los perros cuando murió, y esto destaca como otra bandera roja.

021624_dog_mauling_kal
el terrible ataque

Al momento de comer, los perros entran en un frenesí.

Cabe señalar que Big Gemini no tiene toda la información que tienen los investigadores y basa sus conclusiones en informes de prensa y otra información disponible al público. Dicho esto, la compañía está bastante segura de que había unos cuantos perros de más aquí.

BGK nos dice que la alimentación de tantos perros a la vez puede conducir a una mayor agresión y teorizan que dos perros adultos probablemente estaban luchando por algo de comida cuando el criador trató de separarlos (es algo muy común). En ese momento, sospechan que todos los perros podrían haberse vuelto contra él.

En lugar de alojar a todos los perros en un solo lugar en su patio trasero - entre una variedad de perreras - Big Gemini perreras dice que este hombre debería haber considerado la división de los cachorros ... la alimentación de solo dos o tres a la vez en lugar de todos los 13.

Los perros desde entonces han sido sometidos a eutanasia, un movimiento que Big Gemini dice que es necesario porque podrían haber ido a atacar a sus futuras familias. BGK nos dice que creen que los cachorros podrían haber sido rehabilitados, pero también señalan que podría no haber valido la pena el riesgo de que estos perros lastimen a otra persona. Así es como el Condado de Los Ángeles se sentía al respecto.

Big Gemini continúa diciéndonos que la gente ha estado preguntando sobre los riesgos de que los pit bulls ataquen a las personas a raíz de esta nueva historia viral ... pero hacen hincapié en que las personas deben temer a las personas más que a los propios perros - como señalan, todo se trata de cómo se crían los perros.

Big Gemini Kennels quiere dejar claro que la pérdida de vidas es trágica y esperan sinceramente que nada como esto vuelva a suceder.

Pit Bull Breeding Co. Mauled Owner Didn't Have to Die ... Sees Red Flags in Tragedy

Published | Updated

The man tragically killed by pit bulls in Compton might've been able to avoid death if he'd followed some helpful techniques ... this according to a big-time local breeder, that is.

ICYMI ... a dog owner was mauled to death by his own pit bulls in Compton, California, last Thursday, though his body wasn't discovered -- bloody and lying in his backyard -- until Friday.

Big Gemini Kennels -- a popular pit breeder with a huge following in the Los Angeles dog community and no association to the mauling -- tells TMZ ... the victim of this horrible incident appears to have perhaps taken on more than he could handle by trying to herd so many dogs together. That's BGK's view here, anyway.

Big Gemini tells us they feel like trying to manage 13 dogs -- even with some of them being puppies -- is just far too many. Not just that, but reports from the County that this man appeared to be feeding all the dogs when he died stands out as another red flag to BGK.

021624_dog_mauling_kal
VICIOUS ATTACK

We're told that giving them food like all at once may have exacerbated the issue ... and maybe even sent the dogs into a frenzy.

It should be noted ... Big Gemini doesn't have all the info investigators do and is basing their findings on news reports and other publicly available info. With that said, the company's pretty sure there were a few dogs too many here with all of them running around the property when the body was found.

BGK tells us feeding so many dogs at once can lead to heightened food aggression ... and they theorize two adult dogs were probably fighting over some chow when the breeder tried to break things up. At that point ... they suspect all the dogs might've turned on him.

Instead of housing all the dogs in one location in his backyard --- among a variety of kennels -- Big Gemini Kennels says this man should have considered splitting the pups up ... feeding just two or three at a time instead of all 13.

The dogs have since been euthanized ... a move Big Gemini says is necessary because they could have gone on to attack their future families. FWIW ... BGK tells us they believe the puppies could have been rehabilitated ... but they also note, it might've not been worth the risk of these dogs hurting another person. That's how L.A. County felt about it.

TMZ INVESTIGATES

Big Gemini goes on to tell us people have been asking about the risks of pit bulls attacking people in the aftermath of this viral new story ... but they emphasize people should fear people more than the dogs themselves -- as they note, it's all about how the dogs are raised.

Big Gemini Kennels wants to make it clear ... the loss of life is tragic, and they sincerely hope nothing like this happens again.

WENDY WILLIAMS TUTOR PRESENTA DEMANDA Contra Lifetime Parent Co.

Published

El tutor de Wendy Williams acaba de presentar una demanda contra la compañía matriz de Lifetime, y el momento es poco menos que sospechoso, porque hay un documento sobre ella que va a salir a la luz.

Una mujer llamada Sabrina Morrissey, que dice que está actuando como tutora temporal de W.W.H. (presumiblemente Wendy Williams Hunter), acaba de presentar una demanda contra A & E Television Networks, pero lo hizo bajo sello, lo que significa que el público no puede espiar qué es exactamente lo que está pasando en los tribunales.

En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, hay algunas pistas que podrían indicar sobre qué podría ser todo este asunto y todas las pistas parecen apuntar a alguna conexión con el "¿Dónde está Wendy Williams?", que estará disponible el sábado.

Morrissey también está buscando una orden de restricción temporal, el cual es un mecanismo que se usa a menudo cuando alguien quiere que un juez detenga un lanzamiento de una película o proyecto de televisión. Teniendo en cuenta la fecha de lanzamiento del documento es solo un par de días, es imposible decir con seguridad qué documentos están bajo sello.

Morrissey también está buscando una orden de restricción temporal... es algo que se usa a menudo cuando alguien quiere un juez para intervenir y detener un lanzamiento de una película o proyecto de televisión.

Es interesante que el juez ordenara que todos los documentos permanezcan temporalmente bajo sello, además fijó una fecha de audiencia para la próxima semana para determinar si deben permanecer así mientras el caso se desarrolla.

Por supuesto, Wendy llegará este fin de semana y a pesar de que la audiencia sobre la cuestión del sellado será después de la fecha de lanzamiento, es posible que el tribunal se pronuncie sobre lo que Morrissey está pidiendo, es decir, medidas cautelares contra A & E, los documentos están sellados temporalmente. No hay noticias aún sobre una decisión en ese frente.

Wendy Williams Guardian Files Sealed Lawsuit ... Against Lifetime Parent Co.

Published | Updated

Wendy Williams' guardian just filed a lawsuit against Lifetime's parent company -- and the timing is nothing short of suspicious, 'cause there's a doc about her from them coming out.

A woman named Sabrina Morrissey -- who says she's acting in her capacity as temporary guardian of W.W.H. (presumably Wendy Williams Hunter) -- just filed suit against A&E Television Networks, but she did it under seal ... meaning the public can't peep what exactly she's running to court for.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, there are a few clues that could indicate what this might be about ... and all signs seem to point to some connection with the 'Where is Wendy Williams' 2-part doc that's dropping Saturday.

Morrissey is also seeking a temporary restraining order in her action -- again, that's often the mechanism used when someone wants a judge to step in and halt the release of a film or television project. Considering the doc's release date is just a couple days away ... that would make sense, although it's impossible to tell for sure with the docs being under seal.

Now, what's interesting in the docs here is that the judge actually ordered all the docs to remain temporarily under seal -- and set a hearing date for next week to determine whether they should stay that way as the case plays out.

costner_promo_kal
TMZ INVESTIGATES

Of course, the Wendy doc drops this weekend ... and while the hearing on the sealing issue falls after the release date -- it's possible the court will rule on the merits of what Morrissey's asking for ... namely, injunctive relief against A&E -- while the docs are temporarily sealed. No word yet on a ruling on that front.

We've reached out to Morrissey and A&E for comment ... no word back from her yet, but A&E told us they had no comment.

TAYLOR SWIFT & TRAVIS KELCE PETA Reacts to Sydney Zoo Date ... Go Here Instead!!!

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Sydney Zoo date was cute and all ... but PETA says they should've been mindful of how the animals are treated/handled in this type of environment.

Debbie Metzler --  PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Welfare -- uses Taylor's own song against her to make her point ... telling TMZ, "While we understand all too well the appeal of seeing Australia's wildlife, PETA hopes that next time Taylor and Travis want to see wild animals, they'll spend their time and money at a true sanctuary."

They add that a sanctuary is a better choice 'cause visitors aren't allowed to feed/touch the animals there ... in fact, they're required to keep a respectful distance from them altogether. The zoo there, on the other hand, apparently lets you get hands-on with the wildlife.

Of course, Traylor was doing one of the things PETA advised not to do ... namely, feeding a kangaroo at Sydney Zoo while also checking out a bunch of other animal exhibitions.

The lovebirds were like two kids in a candy store ... enjoying their time at the attraction during their first Sydney reunion date. However, Taylor seems to have known they'd have a blast there -- as she'd already scoped out the place earlier the previous day.

Of course, the pair are just trying to pack in as much time together as possible before Tay Tay gets busy with her final 4 Sydney concerts -- but on this animal adventure specifically, PETA clearly disapproves.

For next time, Taylor and Travis might want to take PETA's advice and head to a local animal sanctuary on their next date ... that is, if they actually care what the org thinks about it.

As you're probably well aware -- PETA tends to sound off on any and all celebs who they feel are acting inappropriately as it pertains to animals/animal rights -- and here ... they're saying Taylor and Travis should've considered a better option for sightseeing.

Brandi Glanville Threatens to Sue Bravo ... Andy Cohen Responds to Facetime Claim

Published | Updated

update

Andy Cohen just responded to Brandi's claim about the video she says he sent her -- and he now says she's blowing it out of proportion.

He writes, "The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi. It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke.  That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologize."

Brandi Glanville is putting Bravo's parent company and others on notice that she's prepared to take them to court over this whole 'Girls Trip' drama she's been roped into ... and lays out her grievances in no uncertain terms in a letter that her attorneys just fired off.

The 'Real Housewives' star has lawyered up with the likes of Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman -- big shot lawyers in Hollywood -- and they sent NBCUniversal a demand letter Thursday that threatens a lawsuit on behalf of their client ... and they're telling the network to preserve all potential evidence as Brandi prepares for what could be a messy legal battle.

The letter, obtained by TMZ, spells out exactly why Brandi is considering suing here -- and according to her legal team ... she feels like she's been chewed up and spit out by Bravo and all other parties involved in producing and airing a show that makes them millions.

They're strong, writing ... "Over the past year, Ms. Glanville has been subjected to a vicious media campaign based on false allegations of sexual misconduct. The false narrative, which NBC and Shed Media have apparently decided to foment, arises from Ms. Glanville’s experience on 'Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco.'"

Her attorneys add ... "While the experience has been a nightmare for Ms. Glanville, it is far from the first time Ms. Glanville has been used and abused by NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros., and Shed Media. Indeed, Ms. Glanville has long been taken advantage of by the institutions with which she is indelibly tied personally, professionally, financially, and in the public mind."

Brandi's lawyers claim that while she's been loyal to NBCU over the years ... she's only received mistreatment in return -- including this latest saga with fellow 'Housewife' Caroline Manzo, who recently sued Bravo claiming she was the victim of sexual misconduct from Brandi during the filming of 'Girls Trip: Morocco,' but BG defends herself here.

Long story short ... Brandi's attorneys say that Caroline's narrative of being forcibly kissed and groped by Brandi during the filming of that show was actually consensual -- with Brandi's team claiming Caroline was inviting that sort of behavior, which she also alleges was facilitated and even encouraged by producers during the filming.

There's another salacious allegation that Brandi's attorneys float in this letter they sent -- evidence for which is not attached in their correspondence -- that invokes the name of Andy Cohen.

Brandi's team claims that in 2022, Andy subjected Brandi to sexual harassment by sending her a video -- one in which she claims he boasted of his intent to sleep with another Bravo star that night ... and allegedly inviting her to watch it all via Facetime.

Her attorneys characterize her role in all this one of a "sacrificial lamb," and they say Brandi isn't going to take it anymore ... so she's telling Bravo and co. to get ready to go to battle.

She hasn't sued just yet ... but it sounds like she's ready to go to war if they can't resolve things outside of court. We've reached out to NBCU for comment ... so far, no word back.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce PETA reacciona a su cita en el zoológico ¡¡Vayan a un santuario!!

Published

La cita de Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce en el zoológico de Sydney fue tierna y todo, pero PETA dice que deberían haber sido conscientes de cómo los animales son tratados y manejados en este tipo de entorno.

Debbie Metzler, directora de la Fundación PETA para el Bienestar de los Animales en Cautiverio, utiliza la propia canción de Taylor para hacer su punto en contra, diciendo a TMZ: "Si bien entendemos muy bien (all too well como dice una de sus canciones) el atractivo de ver la vida silvestre de Australia, PETA espera que la próxima vez que Taylor y Travis quieran ver animales salvajes, gasten su tiempo y dinero en un verdadero santuario".

Añaden que un santuario es mejor porque a los visitantes no se les permite alimentar ni tocar a los animales allí. De hecho, se les exige mantener una distancia respetuosa de ellos. En el zoológico, en cambio, se puede tocar a los animales.

Por supuesto, Traylor estaba haciendo una de las cosas que PETA aconseja no hacer, esto es, alimentar a un canguro en el zoológico de Sydney, mientras echaba un vistazo a un montón de otros animales en exhibición.

Los tortolitos parecían niños en una tienda de dulces, mientras disfrutaban de su visita durante su día reunidos en Sydney. Sin embargo, parece que Taylor sabía que lo pasarían de maravilla, pues ya había explorado el lugar el día anterior.

Por supuesto, la pareja solo está tratando de pasar el mayor tiempo posible juntos antes de que Tay Tay esté ocupada con sus últimos 4 conciertos en Sydney, pero esta aventura en particular, PETA claramente desaprueba.

Para la próxima vez, Taylor y Travis tal vez quieran seguir el consejo de PETA e ir a un santuario de animales local en vez de un zoológico. Esto, si realmente les importa lo que la organización piensa al respecto.

Como ustedes probablemente saben, PETA tiende a criticar fuertemente a todas las celebridades que estén actuando de manera inapropiada en lo que respecta a los animales y sus derechos, y aquí están diciendo que Taylor y Travis deberían haber considerado una mejor opción para ir de paseo.

BRANDI GLANVILLE ¡HE SIDO USADA Y ABUSADA POR ESTA CADENA! Amenaza con demandar a Bravo ...

Published | Updated

Brandi Glanville está poniendo a la empresa matriz de Bravo y a otros sobre aviso de que está dispuesta a llevarlos a los tribunales por todo este drama de "Girls Trip" en el que se ha visto envuelta, y expone sus quejas en una carta que sus abogados acaban de enviar.

La estrella de "Real Housewives" se ha puesto en manos de abogados de la talla de Mark Geragos y Bryan Freedman -grandes abogados de Hollywood- y le enviaron a NBCUniversal una carta de demanda el jueves que amenaza con una demanda en nombre de su cliente, y le están diciendo a la red que conserve todas las pruebas potenciales mientras Brandi se prepara para lo que podría ser una batalla legal muy intensa.

La carta -obtenida por TMZ- explica exactamente por qué Brandi está considerando demandar, y de acuerdo con su equipo legal, es como si hubiera sido utilizada y desechada por Bravo y todas las demás partes involucradas en la producción y emisión de un programa que les hace ganar millones.

Escribie: "Durante el último año, la Sra. Glanville ha sido objeto de una malvada campaña mediática basada en falsas acusaciones de mala conducta sexual. La falsa narrativa, que NBC y Shed Media aparentemente han decidido fomentar, surge de la experiencia de la Sra. Glanville en "Ultimate Girls Trip: Marruecos".

Sus abogados añaden: "Si bien la experiencia ha sido una pesadilla para la Sra. Glanville, está lejos de ser la primera vez que la Sra. Glanville ha sido utilizada y abusada por NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros. y Shed Media. De hecho, la Sra. Glanville ha sido abusada durante mucho tiempo por las instituciones con las que está indeleblemente ligada personalmente, profesionalmente, financieramente y en la mente del público".

Los abogados de Brandi afirman que mientras ella ha sido leal a NBCU a lo largo de los años, solo ha recibido malos tratos a cambio, incluyendo este último drama con su compañera de "Housewife" Caroline Manzo, quien recientemente demandó a Bravo alegando que fue víctima de mala conducta sexual por parte de Brandi durante el rodaje de "Girls Trip: Marruecos", pero Brandi se defiende.

Los abogados de Brandi dicen que la narrativa de Caroline de ser besada a la fuerza y manoseada por Brandi durante el rodaje de ese programa fue en realidad consentida, con el equipo de Brandi alegando que Caroline estaba invitando a ese tipo de comportamiento, que también alega fue facilitado e incluso alentado por los productores durante el rodaje.

Sus abogados caracterizan su papel en todo esto como un "cordero de sacrificio", y dicen que Brandi no va a soportarlo más, por lo que le dice a Bravo y compañía que se preparen para la batalla.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart Assault Case Dismissed ... After Drew Eubanks Asks For Case To Be Dropped

Published | Updated

The assault charge Isaiah Stewart had been facing for allegedly socking Drew Eubanks in the face was dismissed on Thursday ... after prosecutors said the Phoenix Suns player didn't want to move forward with the case against the Detroit Pistons center.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, officials filed a motion in Arizona to dismiss the case this week ... explaining Eubanks "no longer desires prosecution in this matter."

A judge signed off on the motion a short time later -- putting Stewart in the clear.

The 22-year-old was slated to have a hearing in the case on Friday -- less than two weeks after cops say witnesses told them he had punched Eubanks in the parking tunnel of the Footprint Center following an argument just before they were slated to compete in a game against each other.

But, a court official tells us the hearing has now been scrapped following the dismissal of the case.

Stewart, however, was still punished by the NBA for his involvement in the altercation ... the league said Thursday it was hitting him with a three-game ban without pay.

He's now expected to begin serving the ban on Thursday night ... when Detroit takes on Indiana at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
