UPDATE
12/4 1:07 PM PT -- C-Knight's family tells TMZ ... the rapper has not been buried because the family does not have the money to put on a proper funeral for him.
They are seeking crowdfunding from fans via their GoFundMe.
C-Knight, a member of hip hop group The Dove Shack, has died ... TMZ has learned.
A family member tells us C-Knight, real name Arnez Blount, passed away Tuesday after it was decided to take him off life support, weeks after first being admitted to the facility for a stroke.
TMZ broke the story, C-Knight's father told us his son was hospitalized mid-October after his blood sugar was at a scary level -- a result of his diabetes.
While getting dialysis at the hospital, he somehow suffered a stroke and went into cardiac arrest. He was resuscitated by doctors and put on life support ... but had been in an unresponsive state -- with medical staff telling the family there were no signs of progress.
C-Knight's father last told us they were waiting on the results of a crucial MRI to hopefully see any notable brain activity -- but his family kept optimistic while they waited.
The Dove Shack played a big part in the West Coast G-Funk music movement in the 1990s ... jumping in the game with fellow big dogs like Warren G and Snoop Dogg.
C-Knight, along with Bo-Roc and 2Scoops, put out some memorable hits like "Summertime in the LBC," "This Is The Shack," and "Smoke Out."
He was 52.
RIP

Neymar Pareja e hija fueron presuntos objetivos en un aterrador asalto
Un momento aterrador pasó la familia de la superestrella del fútbol Neymar. En la madrugada de este martes, tres hombres supuestamente irrumpieron en el condominio de su pareja Bruna Biancardi en Sao Paulo en un intento de atacarla a ella y a su bebé recién nacido.
Neymar y Bruna, que empezaron a salir en 2021, no estaban en casa en ese momento, según los medios locales, pero los padres de ella estaban presentes cuando los intrusos supuestamente entraron en la residencia.
Los informes afirman que dos hombres armados y otro sospechoso ataron a los padres de Bruna y procedieron a saquear la casa de la influencer, llevándose artículos de lujo como relojes, bolsos de diseño y joyas.
Según el diario R7, los sospechosos supuestamente buscaban a la hija de Neymar y Bruna, Mavie, que nació a principios de octubre. De hecho, el delantero del Al Hilal compartió el lunes una foto con su hija.
Afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido, y los vecinos se apresuraron a avisar a la seguridad durante el asalto a la vivienda.
Uno de los sospechosos, de 20 años, fue detenido durante el acto. Se cree que es vecino de Bruna y que utilizó su acceso al vecindario para permitir que los otros sospechosos entraran por la puerta.
Los otros dos sospechosos siguen libre, pero hasta ahora, uno ha sido identificado.
Neymar, que actualmente se está recuperando de una cirugía de rodilla izquierda después de romperse el ligamento cruzado anterior y el menisco durante un partido el mes pasado, emitió un breve comunicado sobre el "ataque que sufrieron los padres de Bru" diciendo: "Gracias a Dios todo el mundo está bien".

Terrifying moment for soccer superstar Neymar's family -- three men reportedly broke into his partner Bruna Biancardi's Sao Paulo condo early Tuesday morning in an attempt to target her and their newborn baby.
Neymar and Bruna -- who started dating in 2021 -- weren't home at the time, according to local outlets ... but her parents were present when the intruders allegedly entered the residence.
Reports state two armed men and another suspect tied up Bruna's parents and proceeded to ransack the influencer's place ... taking luxury items like watches, designer purses and jewelry.
According to R7 newspaper, the suspects were allegedly looking for Neymar and Bruna's baby girl Mavie -- who was born in early October. In fact, the Al Hilal striker shared a picture with his child on Monday.
Thankfully, no one was injured ... and neighbors were quick to notify security during the home invasion.
One of the suspects -- a 20-year-old -- was arrested during the act. It is believed he is Bruna's neighbor and used his access to the neighborhood to allow the other suspects in the gate.
The other two suspects are still on the loose ... but so far, one has been identified.
Neymar -- who is currently recovering from left knee surgery after rupturing his ACL and meniscus during a game last month -- released a brief statement about the "attack that Bru's parents suffered" ... saying, "Thank God everyone is fine."

Bronny James Getting Checked Out This Month ... Could Play This Season
Bronny James could be one step closer to making his college basketball debut -- the USC guard is slated to have a health checkup later this month ... and if all goes well, he will be cleared to practice with his teammates.
The update came from Bronny's NBA superstar pops, LeBron, on Monday ... who doubled down on the chances his eldest son could see game action for the Trojans this season after suffering cardiac arrest on the court while training in July.
"Things are going in the right direction with Bronny's progress," LeBron told reporters after the Lakers' 108-107 loss to the Miami Heat. "He's doing rehab. Every week, he gets to do more and more."
No. 21-ranked USC kicked off its college season against Kansas State ... and of course, Bronny did not play. He has been with his teammates as he recovers ... even dancing during USC's annual Trojan HoopLA event at the Galen Center last month.
10/20/23
"We have a big moment at the end of this month to see if we can continue to go forward," LeBron continued. "If he's cleared, then we'll not be too long from him getting back on the floor and back with his teammates and practicing with the notion of being back on the floor and playing in a game situation."
"Everything is on the up and up. We're proud of his progress, we're proud of his strength."
As we previously reported, it was determined Bronny had "an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect," which caused his cardiac arrest on July 24.
Here's hoping everything continues to go well!!

Jon Voight critica a su hija por su postura ante Palestina
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.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
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.
Benjamín Netanyahu no ha dado muestras de ceder ni de aminorar la marcha.
Jon Voight Calls Out Angelina Jolie ... Over Palestine Stance
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.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
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.
Benjamin Netanyahu has shown no signs of giving in/slowing down ... it's full-steam ahead.

RAY J LLEVA A SU MADRE AL HOSPITAL Mala reacción a la terapia intravenosa

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.
Allá por 2018, Kendall Jenner también fue hospitalizada tras una mala reacción a una terapia de vitaminas intravenosas.

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.
Back in 2018, Kendall Jenner was also hospitalized following a bad reaction to an IV vitamin drip. Some people just might be better off sticking to vitamins from a bottle.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Held For Psych Evaluation ... Allegedly Downed Pills

Exclusive

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.
Julio, 53-6-1, last fought against David Zegarra in December 2021 -- a fight he won by unanimous decision.

Kourtney & Travis Welcome Baby Boy Rocky Barker is Here!!!

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.

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."
