A Hollywood stuntman, whose film credits include "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Endgame," was killed along with three of his children in a car crash in Georgia.

Taraja Ramsess was driving his 5 kids in a pickup truck on the Interstate in DeKalb County Halloween night when he turned onto an exit ramp and collided with a tractor-trailer, according to WSB-TV News. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Ramsess was declared dead at the scene with two of his daughters -- a 13-year-old and the other just 8 weeks old.

His mom, Akili, confirmed their deaths on Instagram and later revealed in a second IG post his 10-year-old son -- who was on life support -- had also passed away.

Akili wrote that Ramsess' two other daughters survived, but the 3-year-old was hospitalized with minor injuries.

Akili also honored Ramsess, talking about his love for his children, martial arts, motorcycles and especially filmmaking.

In Hollywood, Ramsess was known for his roles in "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Endgame," but his stunt work was also featured in "Avengers: Infinity War," "The Suicide Squad" and "Creed III," as well as other movies.

He also worked in the art department on "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "The Walking Dead" and "The Vampire Diaries."

Ramsess was 41.

Un doble de Hollywood, cuyos créditos cinematográficos incluyen "Black Panther" y "Avengers: Endgame", murió junto con tres de sus hijos en un accidente automovilístico en Georgia.

Taraja Ramsess conducía a sus 5 hijos en una camioneta por la Interestatal en el condado de DeKalb la noche de Halloween cuando giró en una rampa de salida y colisionó con un tractor-remolque, según WSB-TV News. La causa del accidente está bajo investigación.

Ramsess fue declarado muerto en el lugar junto a dos de sus hijas, una de 13 años y otra de apenas 8 semanas.

Su madre, Akili, confirmó sus muertes en Instagram y más tarde reveló en un segundo post de IG que su hijo de 10 años -que estaba con soporte vital- también había fallecido.

Akili escribió que las otras dos hijas de Ramsess sobrevivieron, pero la niña de 3 años fue hospitalizada con heridas leves.

Akili también honró a Ramsess, hablando de su amor por sus hijos, las artes marciales, las motocicletas y especialmente el cine.

En Hollywood, Ramsess era conocido por sus papeles en "Black Panther" y "Avengers: Endgame", pero su trabajo como especialista también apareció en "Vengadores: Infinity War", "Escuadrón Suicida" y "Creed III", entre otras películas.

También trabajó en el departamento de arte de "Los juegos del hambre: Catching Fire", "The Walking Dead" y "The Vampire Diaries".

Ramsess tenía 41 años.

Jon Voight está en las antípodas de su hija Angelina Jolie en el conflicto palestino/israelí y ha explicado con vehemencia por qué cree que está equivocada.

El actor publicó un largo video en Instagram, en el que quema su propia carne y sangre por su postura mayoritariamente pro/Palestina. Recordemos que Angelina pidió un alto el fuego y condenó la campaña de bombardeos de Israel en Gaza.

Jon dice que Israel está en medio de la guerra y que su represalia, por naturaleza, será fea. Sin embargo, el veterano actor dice que el ataque está justificado debido al ataque terrorista del 7 de octubre llevado a cabo por Hamás.

En palabras de Jon, está decepcionado con Angie por "no entender el honor de Dios, las verdades de Dios", y califica la respuesta de Israel en Gaza de "justicia para los hijos de Dios en Tierra Santa". También dice que este conflicto no puede ser civil ahora... ha ido demasiado lejos para eso.

Jon también señala una táctica que, según muchos estrategas militares, Hamás utiliza para mezclarse entre palestinos inocentes: utilizar escudos humanos para defenderse.

En resumen, Jon es muy pro/israelí y no está ni cerca de pedir la paz como Angelina. Sin embargo, no creemos que su hija vaya a decir algo, puesto que es sabido que no son cercanos.

Mientras tanto, los cuerpos en Gaza suman más de 9.000. Cada vez más políticos estadounidenses están pidiendo una "pausa", incluyendo el presidente Joe Biden y su personal.

Jon Voight is on opposite ends of the Israel-Palestine conflict from his daughter, Angelina Jolie ... and he explained in impassioned terms why he thinks she's wrong.

The actor posted a lengthy video on Instagram, in which he torches his own flesh and blood for her mostly pro-Palestine stance ... where she called for a ceasefire, and condemned Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza.

JV says Israel is in the midst of war, and that their retaliation, by nature, will be ugly ... which he believes is justified due to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack carried out by Hamas.

As Jon puts it ... he says he's disappointed with Angie for "having no understanding of God's honor, God's truths" -- going on to call Israel's response in Gaza "justice for God's children in the Holy land. He also says this conflict can't be civil now ... it's gone too far for that.

Jon also points out a tactic that many military strategists say Hamas uses in burrowing itself among innocent Palestinians -- namely, using human shields to defend themselves.

Bottom line ... Jon is very much pro-Israel, and is nowhere near calling for peace like AJ. FWIW, JV's words here are probably falling on deaf ears ... he's estranged from his kid.

As far as his point, though ... the bodies are piling up in Gaza -- well over 9,000 now by many estimations -- and Israel is facing increased scrutiny for their cause. More and more U.S. politicians are calling for a "pause" ... including President Joe Biden and his staff.

La madre de Ray J, Sonja Norwood, se está recuperando de una mala reacción a algo que es, en general, algo saludable. Un error al realizar un tratamiento llamado IV en casa se convirtió en una situación de emergencia, TMZ ha indagado.

El drama se desarrolló cuando Sonja comenzó a sentirse mareada después del tratamiento IV, que está destinado a entregar las vitaminas esenciales y nutrientes directamente al torrente sanguíneo.

Es una tendencia de salud y bienestar popularizada por las celebridades en los últimos años y, hace unas semanas, Sonja decidió entrar en la acción.

Por desgracia, nos informan que Sonja tuvo que recostarse debido a que su respiración se aceleró repentinamente. Su familia llamó a una ambulancia por la preocupación.

La revisaron en el hospital y finalmente se recuperó.

La terapia intravenosa que recibió fue una mezcla de vitaminas C y B, así como calcio y magnesio. Se supone que esto se hace para estimular el sistema inmunológico de un paciente, pero los efectos secundarios pueden incluir infecciones, erupciones cutáneas, coágulos de sangre, embolia gaseosa entre otras dolencias.

Ray J's mom, Sonja Norwood, is recovering from a bad reaction to something that's, generally speaking, good for you -- a home IV drip that turned into an emergency situation ... TMZ has learned.

The health drama unfolded when Sonja began feeling light-headed after the IV treatment ... which is meant to deliver essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream.

It's a health and wellness trend popularized by celebs in recent years, and a few weeks ago ... Sonja decided to get in on the action.

Unfortunately, we're told there was no wellness involved that day ... as Sonja had to lie down due to sudden rapid breathing, which prompted her family, including Ray, to call an ambulance out of concern.

She got checked out at the hospital and, eventually, she was okay.

The IV therapy she got was a mix of C and B vitamins, as well as calcium and magnesium. It's meant to boost a patient's immune system, but side effects can include infection, rashes, blood clots, air embolism and more.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former boxing champ and son of one of Mexico's greatest-ever athletes, was recently treated at a psych hospital after his wife told police he consumed dozens of pills, and she was scared for his safety.

Sources tell TMZ Sports 37-year-old Chavez Jr.'s wife, Frida Chavez, contacted police in the Hollywood area on October 24 ... after she became worried about her hubby's health.

Frida -- who was previously married to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's late son, Edgar Guzman Lopez -- told cops she believed Julio ingested a large amount of potent and potentially dangerous medication ... and wanted medics to check him out.

Rescuers were dispatched and were able to contact Chavez Jr.

It's unclear exactly what happened, but Julio wasn't permitted to leave after officials determined Chavez Jr. needed to go to a psychiatric facility for treatment, known as a 5150 in California.

The law allows certain officials (police officers, doctors, etc.), should they believe someone to be "a danger to others, or to themselves, or gravely disabled" to be held for up to 72 hours "for assessment, evaluation, and crisis intervention."

Chavez Jr.'s family is clearly concerned for his health. In fact, his dad, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., recently expressed fear for his son's well-being during a podcast appearance.

"I feel sorry for him, because his children are little and he's not enjoying them. It hurts me that he's going to go crazy, that he's going to have an accident driving at 12-1 in the morning at full speed, that he's going to have a heart attack from all the pills he takes," Chavez Sr. said on the Bromeando con los Rivera show.

Speaking of Sr., while Chavez Jr. never reached the athletic heights of his legendary father, he was still an accomplished boxer, holding the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and 2012.

Kourtney Kardashian is a mommy once again -- she and her boo, Travis Barker, have welcomed a brand new bundle of joy after a scary rollercoaster of a pregnancy.

Kourtney gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles, sources confirm to TMZ.

TMZ broke the story -- there were strong signs KK had popped this week ... as Kylie and Travis were both spotted at Cedars-Sinai Thursday, and were possibly there earlier.

As we reported, Kourt first dropped the baby bombshell at Travis' Blink-182 concert in June ... showing off her baby bump at BMO Stadium in L.A. while holding a sign that says, "Travis, I'm Pregnant," a reference to the group's music video for "All the Small Things."

Things took a scary turn for the couple in early September when Kourtney needed emergency surgery to save the child's life. At the time, Travis was in Europe traveling with Blink-182, and he rushed back to be by Kourtney's side. Thankfully the surgery was successful.

Kourtney and Travis had a major Disney-themed baby shower for their kid not long after that health scare -- and all seemed to be well at the shindig ... with everyone celebrating. The big takeaway from that get-together, however, was the fact that the baby's name might've leaked. Remember, somebody threw up a tree ornament that referenced "Baby Rocky."

As it turns out ... that is their child's name -- Travis confirmed as much this past week ... saying their boy will be called Rocky Thirteen Barker. A little anticlimactic, but there you go!

The live concert pregnancy announcement came a little over a year after they got hitched at a Santa Barbara courthouse ... which was followed up with a massive wedding in Italy where they exchanged vows at Dolce & Gabbana's private villa before heading to a medieval castle for their reception.

Since the big announcement, the lovebirds have been looking happier than ever while waiting for the baby to come ... doing a couple of drummer-themed photoshoots with the bump on full display.

She also showed off her pregnancy glow on a Hawaiian beach in July during a tropical trip.

In case ya forgot, Kourtney's already a mother to 3 kids -- Mason, Penelope, and Reign, all of whom she shares with her ex, Scott Disick. Travis also shares Landon and Alabama with Shanna Moakler.

BTW, Kourtney shared her struggles with IVF in recent years, saying on her family's show that her experience with the process has been "awful."

Congrats!!!

¡Kourtney Kardashian es madre una vez más! La mayor de las Kardashians y Travis Barker acaban de darle la bienvenida a su pequeño, después de un embarazo que se sintió como una montaña rusa de miedo.

Kourtney dio a luz a un niño en Los Ángeles, según fuentes confirmadas por TMZ.

TMZ publicó la historia, había fuertes indicios de que Kourtney había dado a luz, como por ejemplo, que tanto Kylie como Travis fueron vistos en el hospital Cedars-Sinai el jueves, y posiblemente estaban desde allí antes.

Como informamos, Kourtney dio a conocer la noticia de su embarazo en el concierto de Blink-182 de Travis en junio, mostrando su panza en el estadio BMO en Los Ángeles mientras sostenía un cartel que decía: "Travis, estoy embarazada", una referencia al video musical de la canción "All the Small Things".

Las cosas se pusieron feas a principios de septiembre, cuando Kourtney tuvo que ser operada de urgencia para salvar la vida del niño. En ese momento, Travis estaba en Europa viajando con Blink-182, y se apresuró a regresar para estar al lado de Kourtney. Afortunadamente, la cirugía fue un éxito.

Kourtney y Travis tuvieron una gran fiesta temática de Disney para su hijo no mucho después de ese susto, y todo pareció ir muy bien en la fiesta, con todos celebrando.

La gran sorpresa de la reunión fue que el nombre del bebé se filtró, luego de que alguien dejara un adorno en unos de los árboles que decía "Baby Rocky". Resultó ser que ese era el nombre de su hijo. Travis lo confirmó la semana pasada, diciendo que el bebé se llamaría Rocky Trece Barker. ¡Un poco anticlimático, pero ahí lo tienes!

El anuncio del embarazo llegó un poco más de un año después de que la pareja se casara en un juzgado de Santa Bárbara, lo que fue seguido con una boda masiva en Italia, donde intercambiaron votos en la villa privada de Dolce & Gabbana antes de dirigirse a un castillo medieval para su recepción.

Desde el gran anuncio, los tortolitos se han visto más felices que nunca a la espera del bebé, haciendo un par de sesiones de fotos temáticas con la panza de Kourtney en plena exhibición.

Kourtney también mostró su embarazo en una playa de Hawai en julio durante un viaje tropical.

En caso de que se hayan olvidado, Kourtney ya es madre de 3 niños, Mason, Penelope y Reign, todos los cuales comparte con su ex, Scott Disick. Travis también comparte a Landon, Alabama y Atiana con Shanna Moakler.

Por cierto, Kourtney compartió sus luchas con la fecundación in vitro en los últimos años, diciendo en el programa de su familia que su experiencia con el proceso había sido "horrible."

Offset isn't wasting time, or the momentum he built from his recently released "Set It Off" album ... he tells TMZ Hip Hop he's bringing some heat to February by dropping another one!!!

We linked up with Offset in Bev. Hills outside Mulberry Street Pizzeria, and he hopped out the van to shoot the latest updates with us, including some family collabs.

His eldest son Jordan has been working diligently behind the scenes to earn his place in the production world, and if we're connecting the right dots ... that could score him a credit on his dad's next album!!!

Offset said they were planning to drop something Friday, but apparently, they needed to tweak a few things. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Meanwhile, his "Set It Off" nabbed a Top 5 spot on the Billboard 200 when it launched back in October with a star-studded party ... cohosted by his loving wife Cardi B!!!

Kendall Jenner está cumpliendo 28 años y su orgullosa madre Kris Jenner está TAN embargada por la emoción... Por favor avísennos pueden darse cuenta 😅.

Kris comenzó los homenajes de cumpleaños efusivos a la modelo en un post sentimental en Instagram, en el que enumera un sinfín de elogios a su hija "hermosa, amable, generosa, inteligente, talentosa, creativa, increíble, reflexiva".

Por supuesto, acompañó la publicación de una colección de adorables fotos de su infancia.

Kris dice que se siente bendecida por ser su madre, y estamos seguros de que algo tiene que ver la incursión de Kendall con 818 Tequila, siguiendo los pasos de sus hermanas en el mundo de los negocios.

No es que lo necesite... con un patrimonio neto de $45 M, ella es una de las celebridades regulares en la lista anual de Forbes de las modelos mejor pagadas después de trabajar con prácticamente todas las marcas de moda.

Mientras tanto, las hermanas de Kendall han estado lentas en sus homenajes de cumpleaños a Kendall, pero todas están ocupadas dirigiendo imperios, así que vamos a dejarlas fuera...

La mejor amiga de la supermodelo, Hailey Bieber, sí pasó toda la noche preparando la masa para hacer bollos helados de calabaza para ella, los que parecían estar medio comidos cuando se los presentaron. Qué "enfermo"... las palabras de Kendall, no las nuestras.

Kendall Jenner is 28 ... and proud mama Kris Jenner is SO overcome with emotion ... let us know if you can tell. 😅

The momager kicked off the gushing birthday tributes to the model in a sentimental IG post ... heaping endless praise on her "beautiful, kind, generous, giving, smart, talented, creative, amazing, thoughtful" daughter.

Of course, a collection of Kendall's adorable childhood snaps accompanied the extravagant compliments -- par for the course for the KarJenners, really.

Kris says she's blessed to be her mother -- and we're sure Kendall following in her sisters' mega-business brand footsteps with her 818 Tequila venture has something to do with it.

Not that she needed it ... with a $45M net worth, she's a regular topper on Forbes' annual list of highest-paid models after working with virtually every fashion brand out there.

Meanwhile, Kendall's sisters have been slow on the ground with their birthday tributes to KJ -- but they're all busy running empires, so we'll let them off the hook.

But the supermodel's BFF Hailey Bieber spent all night rolling out the dough to make pumpkin-flavored iced buns for her ... which already appeared to be half eaten when presented to her. What a "sicko" -- Kendall's words, not ours.

Nick Carter is remembering his younger brother, Aaron Carter, ahead of his one-year death anniversary ... and it's clear the tragedy still haunts him, 'cause he's choking back tears.

The Backstreet Boys singer was doing an interview with E! News Friday to plug his new single -- and they asked him how he was coping with his sibling's passing almost a year out. As it turns out, NC is still shaken by it ... and you can tell by his reaction here.

Check it out ... gets visibly emotional remembering Aaron, and he even reveals they were at a point of trying to reconcile their fractured relationship before he died suddenly on Nov. 5.

In other words, he's still very much grieving -- and he goes on to explain that this time of the year (right before the holidays) reminds him of not just family memories with Aaron ... but the fact that his baby bro lost his life during this period too.

As Nick says in this interview, he continues to process Aaron's death ... but still can't quite make sense of it -- although he hopes to get clarity one day. The same can be said about other people in Aaron's orbit ... including his GF and the mother of his child, Princeton.

We broke the story ... Melanie Martin filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of her and Aaron's infant child -- alleging there were a number of parties responsible for supplying Aaron with meds that were dangerous ... and which ultimately led to him drowning in his bathtub.

As we told you, Aaron's official cause of death was tied to Xanax and huffing.

Nick Carter está recordando a su hermano menor, Aaron Carter, a pocos días de su primer aniversario de muerte, y está claro que la tragedia le sigue pesando, porque estuvo conteniendo las lágrimas al recordarlo.

El cantante de los Backstreet Boys fue entrevistado por E! News el viernes para promocionar su nuevo single, en donde le preguntaron cómo estaba haciendo frente a la muerte de su hermano a casi un año de su partida. Resulta que Nick Carter todavía está conmocionado, y podemos asegurarlo por su reacción en este video.

Echa un vistazo a la entrevista. En ella, el cantante se ve visiblemente emocionado cuando recuerda a Aaron, e incluso revela que estaban intentando reconciliar su relación, que estaba quebrada, antes de que muriera repentinamente el 5 de noviembre.

En otras palabras, él todavía está muy afligido y sigue explicando que esta época del año (justo antes de las vacaciones) lo recuerda especialmente, no solo por ser el aniversario de su muerte, sino que por la época, la que le trae recuerdos familiares con él.

Como bien dice en la entrevista, sigue procesando la muerte de Aaron. Asegura que aún no puede darle un sentido, pero espera obtener claridad algún día. Lo mismo puede decirse de otras personas en la órbita de Aaron, incluyendo su novia y la madre de su hijo, Princeton.

Fuimos los primeros en dar la noticia, Melanie Martin presentó una demanda por muerte injusta en nombre de ella y el hijo de Aaron, alegando que hubo una serie de actores responsables de suministrarle a Aaron medicamentos que eran peligrosos y que en última instancia lo llevaron a ahogarse en su bañera.

Como les contamos, la causa oficial de muerte estuvo vinculada a Xanax e inhaladores.

There is growing evidence Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are welcoming their son Rocky into the world ... although we don't know for certain she's had the baby, we'll lay out what we do know, and the biggest clue involves Travis Barker and Kylie Jenner.

This past Monday, we began receiving tips Kourtney showed up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. On the one hand, lots of people know the Kardashians typically give birth at that hospital, so it's not automatically a lock the tips are accurate.

But then, we've been in touch with various people in the Kardashian orbit, and they have been unusually sketchy on the subject. The only clear fact we confirmed is that her due date was this week. One source said labor would be induced.

And that brings us to the next clue ... Travis and Kourtney have said they wanted the baby to be born on Halloween, which was this past Tuesday. If this was an induced birth and she was due this week, that kinda makes sense.

And now, the kickers ... Check out the photo of Travis Barker's reflection from the side mirror as he pulled into Cedars Thursday afternoon.

And then there's a photo of Kylie Jenner's Range Rover pulling into Cedars Thursday around 3:30 PM. Witnesses eyeballed her as she entered the facility.

All in all, our money is on Kourtney gave birth this week.

J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar could have predated super collab albums such as Drake and Future's 'WATTBA' and maybe even Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Watch the Throne" -- that is, if the stars, moons and schedules aligned for them.

Cole looked back at a would-be K. Dot pairing that never materialized during his lengthy new podcast with Lil Yachty. -- and he talked about why the rumored project never came to be.

Take a listen for yourself on his breakdown here -- JC says the two formed a friendship in 2010 just as both of their future careers as hip hop legends were beginning to take off ... and right off the bat, it sounds like there was chemistry between them in style and musical taste.

Neither MC had released an album just yet and Cole says he supplied Kendrick with several beats he made, with Dot even using one of them for his 2011 album "Section.80" on album anchor "HiiiPower."

The two teased fans even further by freestyling on one another's beats for Black Friday 2015 ... but it's been radio silence ever since.

Cole says he and Kendrick would need a full year to make the project of their and fans' dreams and points out neither had the time to commit amid their growing careers -- and family lives.

From the sounds of it, Cole and Kendrick put the idea to bed ... although, if they were able to find a convenient schedule for both of them -- perhaps the possibility to pick it back up again could resurface. J. Cole certainly doesn't seem opposed to the idea of a collab.
