'Sister Wives' Star Garrison Brown Last Texts Alarmed Mom Janelle ... Before Tragic Suicide Death

Published | Updated

Janelle Brown sent one of her sons to check on his brother before Garrison Brown took his own life this week -- and the reason she did that had to do with his final texts.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say they spoke with the "Sister Wives" star Tuesday upon word that Garrison had shot himself ... and they describe what Janelle says were troubling messages Garrison had been sending to some people the day prior.

The police explain that Janelle told them Garrison had texted a group of people that the Brown family works with -- presumably as part of their show -- and his words were ominous.

According to Janelle, via the police, his text to them read ... "I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can't. I miss these days."

It sounds like Janelle caught wind of this message to the group -- which doesn't appear to have included her -- and she told police she then texted Garrison himself ... at which point she says they had a brief conversation for a few minutes before he stopped responding.

Janelle then contacted her other kids to see who could go check on Garrison, and his brother Gabriel volunteered. Sadly, by the time he arrived to Flagstaff ... his brother had died.

Here's the craziest part ... cops interviewed 3 of Garrison's roommates with whom he was living at the time -- and some of them said they heard a pop on Monday night ... but didn't think it was a gunshot, and none of them even checked on Garrison to see what happened.

As it turns out, it wasn't until Gabriel arrived on the scene Tuesday that he discovered his brother was dead -- and that he was holding a handgun. He called 911, and that's when the roommates say they realized Garrison had taken his own life.

The roommates say Garrison was known in the household to struggle with alcohol. Gabriel, meanwhile, said he didn't realize something was amiss with this sibling -- noting he'd recently taken on a new job at a medical facility and seemed to be doing okay on his own.

One last thing ... Janelle told cops Garrison was estranged from his father, Kody. We broke the story ... Garrison died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 25.

RIP

PAMELA ANDERSON MIS DIAS DE "SALVAR VIDAS EN LA PLAYA" HAN TERMINADO No hay interés en el reboot

Published

Pamela Anderson no se va a poner el traje de baño rojo de nuevo para el reboot de "Guardianes de la bahía", TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes directas le dicen a TMZ que los productores que trabajan en el reinicio no se han acercado a Pam o a su equipo, al menos no todavía, pero incluso si lo hacen, nos dicen que ella se inclina a rechazarlos.

¿Y cuales serían sus razones?, nos dicen que simplemente los días de Pamela en "Guardianes de la bahía" han terminado y no quiere volver ni siquiera haciendo un cameo.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que no hay mala sangre por parte de Pamela, y simplemente es parte de su pasado y no tiene ningún interés en volver a ese tipo de proyectos.

Mientras que el papel protagonista de Pamela como C.J. Parker en la serie original ayudó a lanzar su carrera en Hollywood, convirtiéndola en un icono sexual y una leyenda en la pantalla, ella tiene varios proyectos en estos momentos, como su nueva línea de belleza -Sonsie- entre otras empresas.

El reboot se encuentra en las primeras etapas de desarrollo en Fremantle y Fox Entertainment y no está claro quién participará. Hay que suponer que algunos de los veteranos podrían volver... de hecho, sabemos que algunos se han apuntado.

Las ex estrellas de la serie: Nicole Eggert y Brande Roderick no han sido contactadas, pero ambas están interesadas en posibles papeles, si los productores llaman a la puerta.

Mientras Eggert ha mostrado interés en entrar al proyecto, sabemos de hecho que Pam está pasando. C.J. tuvo su tiempo en la televisión y parece que ahora necesita sangre nueva. A propósito, Pam ya hizo un cameo en otro proyecto "Baywatch"... el reboot de la película de 2017.

No cuentes con verla corriendo por la playa esta vez.

Stalley Damon Dash Is Full Of It ... Can't Even Say My Name Right!!!

THERE WAS NEVER AN AGREEMENT

Damon Dash recently took a break from bashing Jay-Z to focus on his post-Roc-A-Fella Records days when he wanted to lead the next generation of rap stars into independence ... but claims they abandoned him for the major label machine.

Those stars grew up to become Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y and Stalley --  who all got a scolding from DD in a recent podcast with Math Hoffa ... where he came off like a disappointed dad in the aftermath of all three of them signing to Atlantic Records, which Dame claims happened behind his back.

TMZ Hip Hop actually caught up with Stalley, who tells us Dame's recollection of events is without merit ... saying they never signed any legally binding paperwork. He even had to pay his own way to be part of the music video shoots.

Stalley appeared on several tracks for Dame's DD172 label -- including his self-titled "S.T.A.L.L.E.Y." track -- and tells us he can't understand why Dame can't pronounce his name correctly. Dame does kinda butcher it a bit in the vid.

Dame framed Stalley as "grumpy" -- and cited a run-in at the airport years ago where he says Stalley expressed regret for taking the Atlantic deal.

Stalley denies telling Dame he regretted anything at the airport ... and says there was frustration more than anything, but is certain that he and Dame had the least interactions of everyone present.

The independent hustle is driving Stalley's career once again -- and he and NBA All-Star Kevin Durant recently went hard in the paint on their "Scared Money" collab.

Masuimi Max Modelo de Playboy y Maxim murió de una sobredosis de fentanilo

Published | Updated

La modelo de Playboy y Maxim Masuimi Max murió a causa de una sobredosis accidental de cocaína y fentanilo, según ha podido averiguar TMZ.

La muerte ha sido oficialmente declarada como un accidente más de un mes después de su impactante muerte. Tal como nos comentó la policía previamente, Masuimi, que también era actriz, fue descubierta sin vida en su casa de Las Vegas el 25 de enero.

En ese momento, las autoridades dijeron que no sospechaban de crimen violento, pero se puso en marcha una investigación.

La carrera de la modelo comenzó a principios de la década del 2000 y la llevó a aparecer en varias publicaciones importantes como Playboy, Maxim, Alt Magazine y Bizarre Magazine, entre otras. Aunque Masuimi nunca alcanzó el estatus de estrella de la actuación, en su página de IMDB figuran varios créditos en películas como "Cornman: American Vegetable Hero" y "Giantess Battle Attack".

Incluso actuó junto a Samuel L. Jackson e Ice Cube, después de haber jugado un papel no acreditado en la película de acción de 2005 "xXx: State of the Union". Por si no lo saben, se puede ver a Masuimi en la película como la novia del rapero Xzibit.

Su crédito más reciente fue en 2023 para una película de terror indie, titulada "Protege Moi", en la que interpretó al personaje de Mercel.

Antes de su fallecimiento, Masuimi se convirtió en una influencer. Había adquirido más de 300K seguidores en Instagram. También publicó videos de burlesque inspirados en el horror y tutoriales de maquillaje en YouTube, que permanecen en línea luego de su muerte.

'Oppenheimer' Nuclear Test Survivors Rip Movie, Congress ... We're Still Being Ignored!!!

Published

HERE'S WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU ...

The nuclear bomb test shown in "Oppenheimer" left a lasting legacy of radiation exposure and cancer diagnosis on generations of folks who helped build Los Alamos in New Mexico ... but people there say their problems are still being ignored by Hollywood and Congress.

Tina Cordova, co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and told us why the world's first nuclear bomb test is still affecting families in New Mexico, decades after Robert Oppenheimer's nuke detonated in the desert.

"Oppenheimer" looks poised to win a bunch of Oscar statues at this weekend's Academy Awards, but Tina says filmmakers blatantly excluded all the people who made Los Alamos and the Trinity Test possible in the first place.

Remember ... the nuclear bomb test in July 1945 took place amid thunderstorms, resulting in toxic debris falling back to earth in the ensuing rain ... contaminating the landscape, water supplies and the food chain ... and exposing New Mexico residents to harmful radiation.

Tina, who helped make a doc about the fallout, tells us cancer has decimated her family ever since the bomb went off -- they lived only 15 miles from the blast -- with 5 generations being diagnosed with all sorts of cancers ... including lung, oral, skin, brain and thyroid.

She says filmmakers left this nuclear mess out of the film on purpose ... similar to how New Mexico residents were left out of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act back in the day, which provided financial compensation to Americans living near nuclear testing sites.

When folks living near the Trinity Test site were finally set to be included in RECA, potentially opening the door for payments, Tina says Republican leadership in Congress cut their funding because of budget concerns.

Now, with "Oppenheimer" gearing up for a big Oscars night and an upcoming Senate vote on reauthorizing and expanding RECA, Tina is banging the drum for the people of New Mexico.

It was an issue then ... and it remains an issue today.

PAMELA ANDERSON My 'Baywatch' Days Are Over ... No Interest In Reboot

Published | Updated

Pamela Anderson isn't slipping into the red bathing suit again for the reimagined "Baywatch" series ... 'cause she's not gonna participate in the upcoming TV reboot, TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … producers working on the reboot have not approached Pam or her team about a potential role in the new FOX series, at least not yet, but even if they do ... we're told she's inclined to turn them down.

Mind you, this isn't mean to stick it to 'Baywatch' -- our sources say there's no bad blood on Pamela's part ... the show is just part of her past and she has no interest in going back down that road. We're told she wishes great things for the cast and crew of the reboot.

In terms of why ... we're simply told Pamela's "Baywatch" days are over, and she doesn't want to revisit it with a cameo or anything else that may be getting kicked around in the writers' room.

While Pamela's starring role as C.J. Parker in "Baywatch" helped launch her Hollywood career -- making her a sex icon and an onscreen legend -- she's several chapters ahead in her life at this point ... now focusing on her new beauty line, Sonsie, and other ventures.

The reboot is in the early stages of development at Fremantle and Fox Entertainment ... and it's unclear at this point who will be in the reboot, including old cast members and newbies. Ya gotta figure some of the OGs might come back ... in fact, we know some are down.

Former "Baywatch" stars Nicole Eggert and Brande Roderick told us they haven't been contacted ... but they're both interested in potential roles, if producers come knocking.

While Eggert has shown interest in getting in the mix ... we know for a fact, Pam's passing. C.J. had her time on TV -- and now, it seems like some new blood is needed. BTW, Pam already made a cameo in another 'Baywatch' project ... namely, the 2017 movie reboot.

Don't count on seeing her running on the beach this time around. We reached out to reps for Pamela ... so far, no word back.

Janelle Brown, de "Sister Wives" Su hijo Garrison muere a los 25... Después de un aparente suicidio

Published | Updated

Actualización

2:34 PM PT -- Janelle Brown acaba de abordar la muerte de su hijo Garrison en redes sociales, donde publicó una foto de su hijo con el mensaje: "Kody y yo estamos profundamente tristes de anunciar la pérdida de nuestro hermoso niño Robert Garrison Brown. Él era una luz en la vida de todos los que lo conocían".

Y añade: "Su pérdida dejará un hueco tan grande en nuestras vidas que nos deja sin aliento. Les pedimos que por favor respeten nuestra privacidad y se unan a nosotros para honrar su memoria".

El hijo de Janelle Brown, Garrison, ha muerto y parece que su muerte se debe a un aparente suicidio, según ha averiguado TMZ.

La estrella de "Sister Wives", que ha aparecido junto a su madre y su padre, Kody Brown, en la exitosa serie de TLC en los últimos años, falleció el martes en Flagstaff, Arizona, donde tenía su propia casa después de haberse alejado de su familia.

La policía de Flagstaff nos dice que los oficiales llegaron a la casa de Garrison el martes por la mañana debido a una muerte y cuando llegaron lo descubrieron sin vida en la escena. Nos dicen que Garrison parece haber sufrido una herida de bala autoinfligida.

Nos dicen que no se sospecha de crimen violento y por ahora la policía está investigando el suceso como un aparente suicidio. La policía de la ciudad dice que el hermano de Garrison, Gabriel, llegó a la casa y lo encontró allí. No se sabe si dejó una nota, una investigación está en marcha.

Garrison ha aparecido en "Sister Wives" desde que se emitió por primera vez en 2010, cuando era solo un niño. La serie narra el estilo de vida polígamo de su padre Kody, quien tiene múltiples esposas. Janelle fue una de ellas hasta que se divorciaron el año pasado.

En cuanto a Garrison, él es uno de los muchos hijos de Kody, y tiene varios hermanos y medios hermanos, muchos de los cuales también aparecen en el programa. En total, es el cuarto hijo de Kody y Janelle. Tiene 5 hermanos directos y otros dos hermanastros de diferentes matrimonios.

Al principio, él y su familia vivieron en Utah, pero con el tiempo se trasladaron a Las Vegas, y cuando llegó a la mayoría de edad mostró interés en alistarse en las fuerzas armadas. Aunque quería alistarse en el Ejército, acabó haciéndolo en la Guardia Nacional.

Garrison se fue de la casa de sus padres hace unos años, durante la pandemia, en medio de una gran disputa familiar sobre el COVID y las estrictas normas que Kody imponía.

Al final, Garrison terminó comprando su propia casa en Arizona y ha vivido allí desde 2021. El tipo era bastante activo en las redes sociales, documentando su vida y sus mascotas.

Su última publicación en Instagram lo mostraba con un nuevo gato al que había dado la bienvenida en su casa, un felino que llamó Sra. Buttons. La describió de esta manera: "La nueva incorporación de mi hogar, la Sra. Buttons. Tiene 9 años y estaba en la fila de la eutanasia, pero mi complejo de salvador no pudo ser suficiente".

Es una tragedia absoluta para sus seres queridos, especialmente para Janelle, que acaba de anunciar que recientemente experimentó un susto de cáncer y tuvo que someterse a la extirpación de dos manchas precancerosas.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

A Garrison le sobreviven muchos familiares y seres queridos. Solo tenía 25 años.

Que en paz descanse.

'Sister Wives' Star Janelle Brown Son Garrison Dead at 25 ... After Apparent Suicide

Published | Updated

update

2:34 PM PT -- Janelle Brown just addressed Garrison's death, taking to social media to post a photo of her boy and writing ... "Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him."

She adds, "His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."

Janelle Brown's son, Garrison, has died ... and it appears his death is a suicide, TMZ has learned.

The "Sister Wives" star -- who's appeared alongside his mother and father, Kody Brown, on the hit TLC series over the years -- passed away Tuesday in Flagstaff, AZ ... where he had his own home after having moved away from his family.

Flagstaff PD tells us ... officers responded to Garrison's home Tuesday morning on a report of a death, and when they arrived -- they discovered him dead at the scene. We're told Garrison appears to have suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

We're told no foul play is suspected, and for now ... police are looking into this as an apparent suicide. FPD says Garrison's brother Gabriel arrived at the house and found him there. No word on whether a note was left behind ... we're told an investigation is underway.

Garrison has appeared on "Sister Wives" since it first aired on the network way back in 2010 -- when he was just a kid. The series chronicles his dad's polygamous lifestyle in Utah, where Kody has multiple wives ... Janelle was one of them until they got divorced last year.

As for Garrison ... he's one of Kody's many children, and has several siblings and half-siblings -- many of whom are also featured on the show. All in all, he's Kody and Janelle's fourth child. He has 5 direct siblings, and two other half-siblings from different marriages.

While he and his family lived in Utah at first, they eventually moved to Vegas -- and as he came of age, Garrison showed an interest in enlisting in the armed services. While he wanted to join the Army ... Garrison ended up signing up for the National Guard.

Garrison moved out of his parents' house a few years ago during the pandemic -- this amid a massive feud within the family over COVID and the strict rules Kody was enforcing.

In the end, Garrison ended up buying his own home in Arizona and has lived there since 2021. The guy was pretty active on social media as well ... documenting his life and pets.

His last post on Instagram features him with a new cat he said he'd welcomed into the household ... a feline he called Ms. Buttons. He described the cat this way, "Newest edition to my home, Ms Buttons. She’s 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia but my savior complex couldn’t suffice."

It's an absolute tragedy for his loved ones -- especially for Janelle, who just announced she recently experienced a cancer scare and had to have two pre-cancerous spots removed.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Garrison is survived by many family members and loved ones. He was only 25.

RIP

'Princess Bride' Star Cary Elwes Someone's Stealing From Me ... Missing Stuff Worth $100k

Published | Updated

Cary Elwes has some trouble in his own castle ... 'cause he told police a lot of valuables are missing from his home, and officers think it might be an inside job.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 'Princess Bride' star is the latest celebrity to fall victim to a recurring crime wave in Los Angeles -- this after the actor discovered a boatload of cash, art and jewelry missing from his Malibu estate.

We're told Cary's lost goods are valued in the 6 figures -- about $100k, more or less, according to sources with direct knowledge. We're also told the current working theory is this isn't a smash-and-grab job ... like we've seen recently with a rash of celeb home burglaries.

Instead, cops say they believe someone on Cary's home staff might have swiped the items from his place, possibly over several years, and it allegedly went undetected ... until now. Our sources say it's unclear what finally made Cary realize a bunch of stuff was missing ... but once he was wise to it, he reported it to the police.

The violation of his home has gotta feel like a streak of bad luck for Cary -- remember, we broke the story about him suffering a rattlesnake bite in April 2022, when he had to be airlifted for immediate treatment.

As for the alleged theft, we're told the L.A. County Sheriff's Department is investigating. We've reached out to Cary ... no word back yet.

CARY ELWES VÍCTIMA DE ROBO Al rededor de $100k en pertenencias

Published

Cary Elwes tiene algunos problemas en su propio castillo, porque le dijo a la policía una gran cantidad de objetos de valor que le faltan en su casa y los oficiales piensan que podría ser un trabajo interno.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que la estrella de "La Princesa Prometida" es la última celebridad en ser víctima de una ola de delincuencia recurrente en Los Ángeles, esto después de que el actor descubrió una gran cantidad de dinero en efectivo, arte y joyas que faltaban en su casa de Malibú.

Nos dicen que los bienes perdidos de Cary están valorados en 6 cifras, alrededor de $100k más o menos, según fuentes con conocimiento directo. También nos dicen que la teoría es que no se trata de un trabajo de romper y agarrar, como hemos visto recientemente con una racha de robos en casas de celebridades.

En cambio, los policías dicen que creen que alguien en la casa de Cary podría haber robado los artículos de su lugar, posiblemente durante varios años sin ser detectado. Nuestras fuentes dicen que no está claro lo que finalmente hizo que Cary se diera cuenta, pero una vez que lo hizo, lo denunció a la policía.

La violación de su casa tiene que sentirse como una racha de mala suerte para Cary, recordemos que hace poco publicamos la noticias de que sufrió una mordedura de serpiente de cascabel en abril de 2022, cuando tuvo que ser trasladado por vía aérea para recibir tratamiento inmediato.

En cuanto al presunto robo, nos dicen que el Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Los Ángeles está investigando. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Cary, pero no hay respuesta todavía.

'Baywatch' Star Nicole Eggert I'm Not Involved In Reboot, But ... Open To Potential Role!!!

NO RED BIKINI FOR ME !!!

OG "Baywatch" star Nicole Eggert says she hasn't been contacted about appearing in the upcoming reboot ... but she tells us she's open to a potential gig if producers want her.

Nicole -- who starred as Summer Quinn in the original lifeguard TV show back in the 90s -- tells TMZ … no one has reached out to her about being involved in the reimagined series, which was just recently announced, but there's a few roles she could see for herself.

While Nicole says she definitely won't be putting on the famous red bathing suit and saving lives at the beach ... she does say a small cameo or a minor role as a parent or a senior lifeguard who works behind a desk would be the best potential fit.

Unclear who will be starring as the sexy lifeguards this time -- the show is in the early stages at Fremantle and FOX -- but Nicole says she wants to see Margot Robbie in the reboot.

Another former "Baywatch" babe, Brande Roderick, tells TMZ ... she hasn't been formally contacted about being in the reboot either, though she's open to being involved and has told executive producer Michael Berk she's ready and willing to play someone's mom.

Brande says she hasn't heard about anyone from the OG cast being in the reboot ... but she's excited "Baywatch" is coming back and thinks it's cool younger generations are into the '90s now. Michael wrote scripts for the original series, and now that he's an EP on the reboot -- BR thinks there's a good chance someone from the original will make a cameo.

Whether they end up getting roles or not, Nicole and Brande both tell us the reboot is bringing the cast back in contact with one another, and they're looking forward to what this new reimagination brings. BTW, Nicole and Brande both enjoyed the 2017 "Baywatch" movie, so the OG series has been successfully rebooted ... at least as far as they're concerned.

CANCER UPDATE

In the meantime, Nicole says she's focused on her cancer battle and is trying to stay positive and healthy as she goes through chemotherapy treatments.

Make no mistake ... Nicole says cancer isn't stopping her from enjoying her life, and it won't stop her from getting back on a "Baywatch" TV set if that's in the cards.

'DWTS' GLEB SAVCHENKO I'm Joining Chippendales ... As Celebrity Guest Host!!!

Published | Updated

"Dancing With the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko is trading his ballroom shoes for a bowtie and cuffs ... because he's joining Chippendales as the latest guest host with the male revue.

Our sources tell us Gleb is gearing up for a limited engagement with the legendary Chippendales hunks ... joining the guys onstage for 3 weeks of performances at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

We're told Gleb will be doing the Chippendales thing in Sin City from April 25 to May 12 ... and once he gets his feet wet, he's going to hit the road and join the world tour cast for 6 Atlantic City shows in July at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Gleb -- who partnered with Chrishell Stause on 'DWTS' -- says he's thrilled and honored by the opportunity, and it's going to be the first time he's performed in Las Vegas.

Be on the lookout ... our sources say Gleb's a big Patrick Swayze fan, and he's going to bust out some of Patrick's iconic dance moves during his Chippendales run.

Frankly, Gleb checks all the Chippendales boxes here ... he's a tall, dark and handsome dancer with a pretty solid stage presence to boot, so this move makes a lot of sense.

Gleb's joining Chippendales as the show celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, and he's got some big ... shoes to fill as far as celeb guest hosts go.

Tyson Beckford, Ian Ziering, Joey Lawrence, "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino and Nyle DiMarco have all done the Chippendales thing over the years ... and now it's Gleb's turn!!!

Donovan McNabb Praises Jason Kelce After Retirement ... Hall of Fame Career!!!

ONE OF THE BEST EVER

Donovan McNabb says Jason Kelce's legendary Eagles career was truly special -- not only because he solidified his spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but also due to the fact he was able to spend every season in Philadelphia.

The NFL legend spoke with TMZ Sports on the heels of Kelce's retirement announcement this week ... and he said the center did something rare in the City of Brotherly Love -- call it home for the entirety of his career.

030424_jason_kelce_kal 3/4/24
LETTING THE TEARS FLOW

McNabb pointed out even fellow greats like Brian Dawkins and Brian Westbrook had to throw on different jerseys before retiring as Eagles ... but Kelce was an exception.

"It says a lot about Jason and the things he stood for out in Philadelphia," McNabb -- who also played for Washington and Minnesota during his career -- said.

Kelce -- a 6th-round pick in 2011 -- played 13 seasons for the Eagles ... winning a Super Bowl and earning six first-team All-Pro selections.

He was as emotional as it gets when he officially announced his decision to walk away ... and McNabb loved how he did it in true Kelce fashion (including the sleeveless t-shirt look).

"It was Jason's moment," he said of the retirement speech. "He and his wife have kind of implemented that they are all about Philadelphia, they're all about the Eagles, and for a guy like Jason and the things he's been able to do in his career, he will rank among at least the top 50 of all of us who have retired and played for the Philadelphia Eagles."

McNabb added Jason better get fitted for his gold jacket, too ... 'cause not only will he join him in the Eagles' Hall of Fame, but the dude is a shoo-in for Canton as well.

"nada de bikini rojo para mí"

Nicole Eggert -estrella de "Guardianes de la bahía" original- dice que no ha sido contactada para aparecer en el reboot, pero nos dice que está abierta a hacerlo si los productores quieren.

Nicole -que interpretó a Summer Quinn en el programa original en los años 90- le dice a TMZ que nadie se ha puesto en contacto con ella acerca de participar en el reboot de la serie, la cual fue anunciada recientemente.

Aunque Nicole dice que definitivamente no va a ponerse el famoso traje de baño rojo y salvar vidas en la playa, dice que un pequeño cameo o un papel menor como una madre o una socorrista de alto nivel que trabaja detrás de un escritorio sería una buena opción.

No está claro quién va a protagonizar la película esta vez -el proyecto está en las primeras etapas en Freemantle y FOX- pero Nicole dice que quiere ver a Margot Robbie en ella.

Otra ex "Baywatch" -Brande Roderick- le dice a TMZ que no la han contactado para el reboot, aunque está abierta a participar y le dijo al productor ejecutivo Michael Berk que está lista y dispuesta a interpretar a la mamá de alguien.

Brande dice que no ha oído hablar de nadie del elenco original, pero está emocionada de que el show vuelva con gente nueva. Michael escribió guiones para la serie original, y ahora que él es un EP en el reboot - BR cree que hay una buena probabilidad de que alguien de la original hará un cameo.

Ya sea que terminen consiguiendo papeles o no, Nicole y Brande nos dicen que el reboot está haciendo que el elenco se ponga en contacto otra vez. Por cierto, Nicole y Brande disfrutaron de la película de 2017, por lo que la serie origial ha sido reiniciada con éxito, al menos en lo que a ellas respecta.

DAVE BAUTISTA BIEN POR BEN Y JEN POR LA LIMPIEZA DE LA PELÍCULA

Published

PREDICANDO CON EL EJEMPLO

Dave Bautista elogia a Ben Affleck y Jennifer Lopez por ser unos espectadores respetuosos, pero en cuanto a su propia película, Dave no se da muchos créditos.

Nos encontramos con el actor el martes en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles, donde nuestro fotógrafo sacó a relucir el hecho de que la pareja fue sorprendida recogiendo su propia basura en el cine esta semana mientras veían "Dune 2", la que casualmente protagoniza.

Échale un vistazo, Dave nos dice que lo que Ben y Jen hicieron es bastante sorprendente y dice que él mismo lo hace todo el tiempo.

Cualquiera que no lo haga está faltando el respeto según el actor.

Ahora, en términos de lo exitosa que ha sido "Dune 2" en taquilla... ciertamente lo ha sido, los números no mienten, pero es un logro por el que Dave no quiere ningún crédito en absoluto.

Nos dice que él solo desempeña un pequeño papel en el conjunto y que el éxito de la película no depende de él lo cual es una actitud bastante humilde. Puede que tenga un papel secundario, pero definitivamente es parte de un elenco extraordinario junto a Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, etc.

De hecho, Dave nos dice que está completamente desvinculado de la parte interpretativa de la película.

Fue una charla rápida pero interesante, y nadie puede acusar al hombre de egocéntrico, eso es seguro.
