Nick Cannon gasta al menos 200.000 dólares al año en Disneylandia
Nick Cannon dice que le da a Disney un poco menos de un cuarto de millón de dólares de su propio dinero duramente ganado cada año y todo es para hacer felices a sus hijos.
El artista hizo la revelación a principios de esta semana en "The Breakfast Club", donde le dijo a Charlamagne tha God y compañía que probablemente gasta al menos $200.000 al año en Disneylandia.
Dice que va al parque una vez al mes (si no más), y entre los 12 niños diferentes que comparte con todas sus ex novias, es imposible que la cosa salaga barata.
Nick dice que Disneyland no es lo que solía ser en términos de precio, algo que muchas familias ordinarias han descubierto últimamente y con el fin de que él y sus seres queridos tengan la mejor experiencia, está gastando una fortuna, pero dice que está feliz de hacerlo.
Ahora, Nick dice que le encantaría conseguir su antiguo descuento de empleado, teniendo en cuenta la frecuencia con la que asiste y la cantidad de dinero que lanza gasta cada vez, pero algo nos dice que no va a suceder. Con los problemas financieros de Disney últimamente, necesitan todo el dinero posible.
Por suerte para Nick, parece que puede permitirse estos caros viajes a Disney, por no hablar de todo lo demás que hace por su familia, que no para de crecer. El tipo trabaja duro y gasta mucho.
Sin embargo, solo sirve para demostrar que todo está caro últimamente.
Nick Cannon Spends $200k/Year at Disneyland ... Fatherhood Ain't Cheap!!!
Nick Cannon says he gives Disney just a smidge less than a quarter of a million dollars of his own hard-earned cash each year -- and it's all to make his many children happy.
The multi-hyphenate entertainer made the shocking revelation earlier this week on 'The Breakfast Club,' where he told Charlamagne tha God and co. he likely spends at least $200,000 annually at Disneyland.
You can watch NC's explanation for yourself ... he says he's at the park once a month (if not more) -- and between the 12 different kids he shares with all his baby mamas, he's spending bank.
Nick says Disneyland ain't what it used to be in terms of price point -- something many ordinary families have discovered lately -- and in order for him and his loved ones to have the best experience ... he's spending an absolute fortune, which he says he's happy to do.
Now, Nick does say he'd love to get his old employee discount enacted considering how often he's there and how much dough he throws their way -- but something tells us that isn't gonna happen. With Disney's financial woes lately, they need every buck possible.
Luckily for Nick, it sounds like he can afford these pricey Disney trips ... not to mention everything else he does for his ever-growing family. The dude works hard, and spends hard.
Still, it just goes to show ... things sure are expensive these days, especially Disneyland.

estrella de "Supernatural" vuelve a la vida tras 6 infartos mortales
La estrella de "Supernatural", Mark Sheppard, estuvo a un paso de la muerte el viernes, luego de sufrir no uno, sino SEIS ataques al corazón. Los paramédicos tuvieron que traerlo de vuelta a la vida.
Mark dice que estaba en su cocina el viernes cuando se desplomó. Fue entonces cuando sufrió una serie de "infartos masivos". Los paramédicos tuvieron que traerlo de vuelta a la vida cuatro veces.
Según Mark, tenía una obstrucción del 100% en su arteria descendente anterior izquierda (LAD). Eso también se llama un "widowmaker", y casi le hizo honor a ese nombre.
Mark atribuye su supervivencia a su esposa y al equipo del Hospital St. Joseph y afirma que sin ellos "no estaría escribiendo esto. Mis posibilidades de sobrevivir eran prácticamente nulas".
En cuanto a su estado, otro susto... "Me siento muy bien. Humillado una vez más. Mañana en casa!"
En cuanto a la reacción, su coprotagonista en "Supernatural" Misha Collins dijo: "¡Mark! ¡No tienes por qué ser tan intenso! ¿6 infartos? 2 o 3 habría sido suficiente. Nos has impresionado, vale. Ahora déjate de sustos y vuelve a la carretera con nosotros. Te quiero, amigo".
Un final feliz después de todo.
Mark Sheppard 'Supernatural' Star Brought Back to Life ... After 6 Deadly Heart Attacks
"Supernatural" star Mark Sheppard was at death's door Friday, after suffering not one, but SIX heart attacks, and EMTs had to bring him back to life.
Mark says he was in his kitchen Friday when he collapsed. That's when he suffered a series of what he says were "massive heart attacks." EMTs had to bring him back to life 4 separate times -- it was that touch and go.
According to Mark, he had a 100% blockage in his left anterior descending artery -- his LAD. That's also called a "widowmaker," and it was almost true to that name.
He credits his wife and the team at St. Joseph's Hospital with his survival, saying without them, "I wouldn't be writing this. My chances of survival were virtually nil."
As for his condition, another shock ... "I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow!"
As for reaction, his "Supernatural" costar Misha Collins said this -- "Mark! You don't need to do the most and biggest every time! 6 heart attacks? 2 or 3 would have been impressive enough. You've impressed us, okay. Now stop with this heal up and get back on the road with us. Love you, pal."
Close call with a happy ending.

Britney Spears Reconciliation w/ Mom ... Comes Amid Isolation Post-Memoir
-
Exclusive
- 2.1K shares
update
4:20 PM PT -- As if Lynne's presence wasn't enough proof they're simpatico again ... here she is cradling her daughter ... and vice-versa.
These photos are starting to make the rounds, and they appear to show Brit and Lynne palling around during her birthday get-together. Like we said ... mending fences.
Britney Spears and her mother, Lynne Spears, reunited this weekend and appear to be on the road to reconciliation ... and despite their recent problems, mom seems to realize -- her daughter needs her right now.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that Lynne's drop-in for Brit's birthday party Friday night was no coincidence ... but it is indeed meaningful, especially after everything the two of them -- the Spears family, at large -- have experienced over the past few years.
More recently, Britney torched her immediate family members in her memoir, 'The Woman in Me' ... and as it pertains to Lynne, she accused her throwing out precious valuables of hers -- something Lynne denied.
There were also reports of Lynne selling off some of Britney's famous clothes ... but she denied that too. Of course, Britney has also suggested her mom was just as culpable for her conservatorship as her father, Jamie ... and there's been bad blood for a while there.
The two of them attempted to bury the hatchet earlier this year, pre-memoir, with Lynne flying in to L.A. to meet up with Britney and her then-husband Sam Asghari ... but it was a brief chat, and it wasn't clear whether they were on the greatest of terms at that point.
Now, we're told Lynne and Britney are definitely in a better place ... not only did Lynne swing by for the birthday bash -- but our sources say they were 2 peas in a pod last night, which then turned into Lynne spending the night ... and also, hanging out with Brit today.
As far as what, exactly, spurred this latest coming-together ... our sources tell us Britney's incredibly isolated and alone right now -- especially after divorcing Sam. We're told she has almost no friends or confidants -- and it appears Lynne recognized that.
Britney is still close with her brother, Bryan -- who was also in attendance for her party Friday night -- but she doesn't see him as often. Now, there's another person in her orbit ... somebody of her own flesh and blood, no less.
It's great to see them acting like a family again ... but the same can't be said about Britney and her dad/sister, whom she has not been seen with for several years. By all accounts, she doesn't talk to them ... although there have been signs of warming toward Jamie Lynne.
No better time than now to heal old wounds, we suppose ... it is the holidays, after all.

Meghan & Harry Urged to Speak on Behalf of Charles Re: Renewed Racism Claims
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are being encouraged to speak up on behalf of King Charles after he was named as one of the alleged "Royal racists" -- this per a new report.
The Telegraph cites two sources close to the Royal Family as calling on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to pipe up and defend Chuck amid these renewed claims of racism -- this, of course, after Piers Morgan took it upon himself to ID the King as one of the senior Royals allegedly named in a Dutch translation of a new book touching on the issue.
The other senior Royal who allegedly made remarks about Archie's skin color and who was named in the book, according to Piers, was Kate Middleton ... Prince William's wife.
Now, the context of what either of them allegedly said has yet to be revealed -- but it was apparently concerning enough for Meghan to bring it up in an interview with Oprah.
Remember, Meghan was careful with how she characterized what was allegedly said ... and what the implication might be. But when Oprah asked if these alleged convos were, perhaps, suggesting that Archie being "brown" and too dark would "be a problem" ... Meghan said it was a safe assumption to make. So, she certainly appeared to cosign that narrative.
Of course, on top of airing her concerns to O, MM also wrote letters to Charles sometime after the fact about these alleged remarks ... a revelation that came to light in Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival."
It was in this correspondence, according to Scobie, that the people who allegedly made comments about Archie's skin surfaced ... which then somehow leaked in the Netherlands. Those versions were yanked, and Scobie has insisted he doesn't know how the names even got in there in the first place ... claiming he never wrote them down in any draft.
Since 2021 -- when this alleged racism bombshell came to light -- Harry, specifically, has pushed back on what he and Meghan actually alleged about his family at the time. He told a British reporter earlier this year that the media had taken what they said and warped it into a racism accusation. Lately, he's been backpedaling ... merely suggesting implicit bias.
Harry why don’t you speak to your wife to get your lies to match up. Now 2 Royal racists from you claiming your family isn’t racist?#Endgame #OmidScobie

Does Prince Harry Think The Royals are Racist? https://t.co/OGEvSSPDtK via @YouTube
Anyway, fast-forward to right now -- as Charles and Kate's names are being thrown around as alleged racists -- and the Telegraph quotes an insider as saying ... "For the couple that talked about ‘death by a thousand no comments’, the silence at this point is deafening."
Another source they quote says it's "interesting" that Harry and Meghan haven't said anything to either confirm or deny the reports of Charles and Kate being the ones who allegedly made these comments ... especially since they once sought the Palace's help when the 2 of them first got together, and Meg's name was getting dragged through the mud.
Meghan and Harry have famously suggested the Palace's silence at the time was done on purpose -- alleging a coordinated campaign was afoot and claiming the Royals have been in bed with the British press ... while hinting that Meg was offered up as the sacrificial lamb.
What's rich here ... apparently, Buckingham Palace and/or Chuck's inner circle now wants them to go to bat for him -- which is the ultimate irony ... this is, if you buy what Meg/Harry have been selling for a long time. Basically, fans of theirs see this as overdue revenge.
The funniest part about all of this is that the whole "racism" storyline has long been dead in the water -- and Harry didn't even really harp on it during his press run for his own book.
Now, however, it's been reignited anew thanks to this Scobie fella ... and Piers, of course. Good grief, Charlie ... King of England.

Meghan y Harry Son instados a pronunciarse en nombre de Carlos Ante denuncias de racismo
Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry están siendo alentados a hablar en nombre del rey Carlos después de que fuera nombrado como uno de los presuntos "racistas" al interior de la realeza, de acuerdo a un nuevo informe.
El Telegraph cita dos fuentes cercanas a la Familia Real que le están pidiendo al Duque y la Duquesa de Sussex que hablen y defiendan a Carlos en medio de estas nuevas denuncias, desatadas luego de que Piers Morgan se encargara de identificar al Rey como uno de los supuestos miembros de la realeza que había sido nombrado en un nuevo libro que toca el tema, y que resulta estar traducido al holandés.
El otro miembro de alto rango que supuestamente hizo comentarios sobre el color de piel de Archie y que fue nombrado en el libro, de acuerdo con Piers, es Kate Middleton, la esposa del príncipe Guillermo.
Ahora, el contexto de lo que cualquiera de ellos haya dicho en su momento aún no se ha revelado, pero al parecer fue lo suficientemente preocupante como para que Meghan sacara el tema en una entrevista con Oprah.
Recuerden, Meghan fue cuidadosa en caracterizar lo que supuestamente se dijo, y cuál podría su implicación. Pero cuando Oprah le preguntó si estas supuestas conversaciones apuntaban a sugerir que Archie un color "marrón" o demasiado oscuro podría ser "un problema", Meghan dijo que era una suposición segura. Así que, ciertamente, parecía estar de acuerdo con esa narrativa.
Por supuesto, además de expresar sus preocupaciones a Oprah, Meghan también escribió cartas a Carlos algún tiempo después sobre estos supuestos comentarios, una revelación que salió a la luz en el libro de Omid Scobie, "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival".
Fue en esta correspondencia, según Scobie, que se supo de las personas que supuestamente hicieron comentarios sobre la piel de Archie, la que luego se filtraron en los Países Bajos de alguna manera. Esas versiones fueron retiradas, y Scobie ha insistido en que ni siquiera sabe cómo los nombres llegaron allí en primer lugar, afirmando que nunca los escribió en ningún borrador.
Desde 2021, cuando salió a la luz esta bomba, Harry se ha retractado de lo que él y Meghan realmente alegaron sobre su familia en ese momento. A principios de este año le dijo a un reportero británico que los medios habían tomado sus palabras y las habían deformado en una acusación de racismo. Últimamente, ha dado marcha atrás, limitándose a sugerir un sesgo implícito.

Does Prince Harry Think The Royals are Racist? https://t.co/OGEvSSPDtK via @YouTube
De todos modos, como los nombres de Carlos y Kate están siendo lanzados nuevamente como presuntos racistas, el Telegraph cita a una persona con información privilegiada que dice: "El silencio en este momento es ensordecedor".
Otra fuente que citan dice que es "interesante" que Harry y Meghan no hayan dicho nada para confirmar o negar los informes de que Carlos y Kate son los que supuestamente hicieron estos comentarios. Sobre todo, porque una vez solicitaron la ayuda del Palacio, cuando empezaron a salir por primera vez y el nombre de Meg estaba siendo arrastrado por el barro.
Meghan y Harry han sugerido que el silencio del Palacio en ese momento fue a propósito, alegando que estaba en marcha una campaña coordinada con la prensa británica y que Meg habría sido ofrecida como cordero de sacrificio.
Ahora, el Palacio de Buckingham o el círculo íntimo de Carlos quiere que vayan a pelear por él, lo que es una ironía si se creen lo que Meg y Harry han estado diciendo desde hace mucho tiempo sobre el Palacio. Básicamente, los fans de la pareja ven esto como una venganza atrasada.
La parte más divertida de todo esto es que toda la historia de "racismo" ha estado en punto muerto, y Harry ni siquiera ha insistido en ella durante sus ruedas de prensa para la promoción de su propio libro.
Ahora, sin embargo, se ha reavivado de nuevo gracias a este tipo Scobie y Piers, por supuesto. Santo cielo, Charlie ... Rey de Inglaterra.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Meets With Israeli Survivors Of Hamas Attack
Arnold Schwarzenegger is speaking out against the barbaric, unprovoked Hamas attack on Israel ... meeting with survivors and their families.
The former governor of California got emotional as he condemned the Oct. 7 slaughter of innocent civilians ... saying it's unlike anything he's ever seen and offering his support for Israel.
Arnold met with family members of Israeli hostages who are still being held by Hamas in Gaza .. presenting them with bronze eagle statues.

Connor Bedard Corey Perry Didn't Sleep With My Mom ... 'Bunch Of BS'
Connor Bedard is now weighing in on the unfounded rumors that his former teammate, Corey Perry, slept with his mom ... and he was adamant on Friday they're straight up "BS."
The Blackhawks superstar didn't mince words when a reporter asked him about the crass gossip that's surrounded Chicago's hockey team for the past few days ahead of their Saturday game against the Jets in Winnipeg.
"It's just a bunch of BS on the internet," Bedard said, before admitting, "It's of course been an effect on myself and my family."
"And that's not fair," he continued, according to Blackhawks beat reporter Ben Pope. "But it's out of our control. It's all just fake, made-up stuff."
Blackhawks GM Says Corey Perry Cut Unrelated To Sleeping with Connor Bedard's Mom
Bedard is now the third person to deny the baseless allegations that first formulated on X late last month ... joining Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson and Perry himself.
It seems he'll likely be the last, too, because according to hockey reporter Jacob Stoller, Bedard "became annoyed as the questions" about the Perry rumors continued during his Friday meeting with the media.
"I don't need to answer anymore questions about this stuff," Bedard said.
Perry was cut by the Blackhawks on Tuesday -- and while a specific reason for his departure was never given by the team ... it reportedly all had to do with an "alcohol-infused incident" with team staffers and corporate sponsors.
In a statement Perry released on Thursday, the 38-year-old apologized for his "inappropriate and wrong" behavior.
"I have started working with experts in the mental health and substance abuse fields to discuss my struggles with alcohol and I will take whatever steps necessary to ensure this never happens again," Perry said. "I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career."

Derek Chauvin Policía que mató a George Floyd Fue apuñalado 22 veces en un ataque en prisión
Derek Chauvin, el policía condenado por asesinar a George Floyd, fue apuñalado 22 veces en un brutal ataque en prisión y el recluso responsable dice que quería matarlo.
Los fiscales federales anunciaron este viernes que el recluso John Turscak fue acusado de intento de asesinato por el apuñalamiento en prisión. Con un cuchillo improvisado, Turscak atacó a Chauvin el 24 de noviembre en la biblioteca jurídica de la Institución Correccional Federal de Tucson, Arizona.
Según los fiscales, Turscak, de 52 años, le dijo a los funcionarios de la prisión que habría matado a Chauvin si no hubieran intervenido.
Como hemos informado, la familia de Chauvin no había tenido mayores detalles en los días siguientes al ataque. Los funcionarios de la prisión cabreados no les habrían ofrecido más información que el hecho de que Chauvin estaba en estado crítico pero estable.
Chauvin fue declarado culpable del asesinato de Floyd y condenado a más de 22 años de prisión. También se le dio un plazo de 20 años en un cargo federal separado por violar los derechos civiles de Floyd, que es lo que está cumpliendo en Arizona.
Por cierto, el 24 de noviembre, el día del ataque, también fue el Black Friday y Turscak le dijo a los agentes que eligió la fecha como una conexión con el movimiento Black Lives Matter y el símbolo de la "Mano Negra" asociado con la banda de la mafia mexicana.
Derek Chauvin George Floyd Killer Cop Stabbed 22 Times in Prison Attack
Derek Chauvin -- the cop convicted of murdering George Floyd -- was stabbed 22 times in a brutal attack behind bars ... and the inmate responsible says he wanted Chauvin dead.
Federal prosecutors announced Friday inmate John Turscak was charged with attempted murder in the prison stabbing. Using an improvised knife, Turscak attacked Chauvin on November 24 in the law library at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona.
According to prosecutors, 52-year-old Turscak told corrections officers he would've killed Chauvin if they hadn't intervened.
As we reported, Chauvin's family had been left in the dark in the days following the attack ... pissed prison officials hadn't offered them more info other than the fact Chauvin was in critical but stable condition.
Chauvin was convicted of Floyd's murder and sentenced to more than 22 years in prison. He was also given a 20-year term on a separate federal charge of violating Floyd's civil rights ... which is what he's serving in Arizona.
BTW ... November 24, the day of the attack, was also Black Friday -- and Turscak told agents he chose the date as a connection to the Black Lives Matter movement and the "Black Hand" symbol associated with the Mexican Mafia gang.

LeBron James I'm Not Missing Bronny's Debut ... If Lakers, USC Games Overlap
LeBron James is vowing not to miss Bronny's first college basketball game ... revealing he will skip his day job with the Lakers to watch his son play for USC if their schedules overlap.
The King spoke with reporters following L.A.'s 133-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday ... hours after it was announced his oldest son was cleared to return to hoops following his cardiac arrest in July.
LBJ said it's a "proud moment" for his entire family ... and he's so excited for 19-year-old Bronny, he's already let the team know he won't be available to play if his kid's debut falls on the same date as a Laker game.
"Looking forward to his first game," James told reporters. "Whenever he's cleared and whenever he's ready to have his first game, I already told my teammates that if they play on the same day we're playing, then I'm going to have to catch them the next game."
LeBron's teammates jokingly let out groans after his comment ... but he made it clear the James Gang is his priority.
"Family over everything, champs. I love y'all. But, I definitely gotta see Bronny's first game whenever he's cleared and ready to go."
As we previously reported, Bronny will have a final evaluation with USC staffers and participate in practice next week ... and will make his first game appearance soon after.
The Lakers and USC have five potential scheduling conflicts over the next couple of weeks -- Dec. 28 and 30, and Jan. 3, 13, and 17.
There's a chance LeBron won't have to miss any Laker games at all ... which would be good news for fans, as the Purple and Gold currently sit at 11-9 on the season.

MAN STOPPED BY TSA SURPRISE XMAS GIFT FROM GRANDMA FLAGGED 'She's Tryin' To Get Me Arrested!'
A Kansas man found himself with some baggage issues ... after being stopped by TSA agents over an early Xmas present he was ordered not to open by his grandma until he reached California.
In a TikTok clip, Brett Gaffney claims he predicted the massive brown briefcase would be flagged for questioning ... and had pled with his grandma to tell him what was inside -- but she insisted he wait until reaching his destination.
True to expectation, eyebrows were raised -- and many questions were asked -- when it set off the airport detectors over the Thanksgiving holiday.
"They asked me what was inside, and I said I don't know, I don't know," Gaffney says ... adding skeptical agents probed him further about why he didn't know the contents.
Of course, agents followed security protocol and checked inside the briefcase ... ruining grandmother's surprise to tell him it was a vintage typewriter.
Brett shows viewers the briefcase in question ... expressing bewilderment over Grandma's choice of gift.
"Who am I, Tom Hanks?" he jokes ... referencing the actor's massive collection of typewriters -- adding, "Am I going to go to the park and … write a whole book with a typewriter?"
What he decides to do with the unexpected typewriter is his choice -- but one thing's for sure ... grandma's got secrets tighter than airport security!
