Omri Miran is among the Israeli hostages being held captive by Hamas ... and his brother-in-law, a former captain in the Israel Defense Forces, is calling for his safe return ASAP.

Moshe Lavi, the former IDF captain, says Omri was held at gunpoint by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, when he was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. Moshe says Omri's wife, his sister Lishay, and the couple's 2 daughters, Roni and Alma, were also held at gunpoint with Omri before ultimately being left behind and rescued by the IDF.

Some hostages have since been released by Hamas, but Omri was not among them ... so Moshe and family members of other hostages are pressuring public officials in Israel and across the globe to do whatever is necessary to bring more hostages home.

Moshe tells TMZ ... his family hasn't received any official word of how Omri is doing in captivity, though hostages released 2 weeks ago claimed Omri was seen alive in one of the Hamas tunnels in Gaza.

Still, Moshe says just because Omri was said to be safe back then doesn't mean he's in good shape now ... as Moshe points out, "Every second in captivity is eternity" ... which is why time is of the essence here.

Of grave concern to all the families is the fact 3 of the remaining hostages were accidentally killed during IDF efforts to take out Hamas militants. The victims have been identified, and Omri is not among them.

But, Moshe is calling on public officials to work day and night to bring Omri and his fellow captives back safely to their loved ones.

Omri Miran es uno de los rehenes israelíes cautivos de Hamás y su cuñado, ex capitán de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel, pide que sea liberado cuanto antes.

Moshe Lavi, ex capitán de las FDI, dice que Omri fue retenido a punta de pistola por terroristas de Hamás el 7 de octubre, cuando fue secuestrado en su casa del kibutz Nahal Oz. Moshe dice que la esposa de Omri, su hermana Lishay y las dos hijas de la pareja, Roni y Alma, también fueron retenidas a punta de pistola con Omri antes de ser finalmente abandonadas y rescatadas por las FDI.

Algunos rehenes han sido liberados por Hamás, pero Omri no estaba entre ellos, por lo que Moshe y familiares de otros rehenes están presionando a los funcionarios públicos en Israel y en todo el mundo para hacer todo lo necesario para traer más rehenes a casa.

Moshe le dice a TMZ que su familia no ha recibido ninguna palabra oficial de cómo Omri está haciendo en cautiverio, aunque los rehenes liberados hace dos semanas afirmaron que Omri fue visto vivo en uno de los túneles de Hamás en Gaza.

Sin embargo, Moshe dice que solo porque Omri dijo que era seguro en ese entonces, no significa que esté en buena forma ahora. Como Moshe señala: "Cada segundo en cautiverio es la eternidad", por eso el tiempo es esencial aquí.

Como resultado, Moshe está pidiendo que los funcionarios públicos a trabajen día y noche para traer a Omri y a sus compañeros cautivos de vuelta a sus seres queridos.

Mama June is being dragged to court in a custody battle for Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's oldest daughter ... and Mama says she's prepared to duke it out.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the biological father of Anna's youngest daughter, Kylee, is suing Mama June for custody of Anna's 11-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn.

Michael Cardwell already took custody of 8-year-old Kylee, who he had with Anna, after her recent death ... and he says he's taken a parental role in Kaitlyn's life over the years despite not being her biological dad.

In the docs, Michael says Anna fostered and supported his relationship with Kaitlyn when Anna was still alive ... he says he behaved as though he were Kaitlyn's dad and claims Anna was on board with him continuing to spend time with Kaitlyn even after he and Anna separated. He also says he's paying for Kaitlyn's education.

Mama June tells TMZ … she hasn't been served with any legal papers yet but said she "can see him in court." The reality TV star says Kaitlyn wants to stay with her and her husband, Justin, and insists a change in custody "would be going against her wishes."

As we first told you ... Mama June took custody of Kaitlyn in the wake of Anna's death and was planning to try to become her legal guardian.

Mama June tells us Anna, who died from cancer, wanted Kaitlyn to live with MJ ... and she claims Michael knew the plan beforehand.

Michael claims Kaitlyn's biological father has never been involved in her life ... but Mama June says that means she should be the one to step into the parent role.

In the docs, Michael opens up some old family wounds, saying ... "Anna has had a very sorted [sic] relationship with her mother throughout her life and went various periods of time without speaking to her." He says Mama's presence in Kaitlyn's life has also been inconsistent.

"The Big Bang Theory" star and comedian Kate Micucci says she's won her battle with cancer.

Kate shared a positive health update over the weekend on social media, revealing she is cancer-free following successful surgery.

In a TikTok post, Kate says the procedure removed all of the cancer in her lungs ... and she says there are no further treatments needed.

Kate says she's grateful she detected the cancer early and she's thanking her doctors, nurses and fans ... saying she's excited to be out of the hospital in time to spend Christmas with her 3-year-old son.

As we reported ... Kate revealed earlier this month she had lung cancer, describing her diagnosis as a complete shock because she's not a smoker.

La estrella de "The Big Bang Theory" y comediante Kate Micucci dice que ha ganado su batalla contra el cáncer.

Kate compartió una actualización positiva de la salud durante el fin de semana en las redes sociales, revelando que está libre de cáncer después de una cirugía exitosa.

En un post TikTok, Kate dice que el procedimiento elimina todo el cáncer en los pulmones ... y ella dice que no hay más tratamientos necesarios.

Kate dice que está agradecida de haber detectado el cáncer a tiempo y le da las gracias a sus médicos, enfermeras y fans, diciendo que está emocionada de estar fuera del hospital a tiempo para pasar la Navidad con su hijo de tres años.

Como informamos, Kate reveló a principios de este mes que tenía cáncer de pulmón, describiendo su diagnóstico como un shock total porque no es fumadora.

Mama June's granddaughters are taking their mother's death very hard ... and the family is thinking about sending them to talk with therapists.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's daughters are reeling from the recent loss of their mom, grieving and trying to take things day by day.

Anna died Dec. 9 and her funeral was Wednesday in Georgia, where her 11-year-old daughter Kaitlyn worked up the courage to speak.

We're told Kaitlyn had no intention of speaking at her mom's funeral, but her feelings changed when she was at the funeral home ... and she shared memories of her time with Anna, some of which brought laughs.

While Kaitlyn was able to open up and reflect at the funeral, the family is discussing the benefits of having her talk with a therapist moving forward. As we first told you, Mama June now has custody of Kaitlyn.

Our sources say Kaitlyn was very involved in Anna's cancer battle, making sure her mom took her medicine and sticking by her side throughout the process. So there's a lot to unpack.

Anna's youngest daughter is 8-year-old Kylee, who is now living with her biological father, Michael.

Because of Kylee's age, we're told it's been harder for her to understand her mom's death ... and she's been leaning on her friends for support and went back to school Friday, which the family sees as a good sign. The school had a field trip, we're told, and the family felt it was a good time for Kylee to go back.

Unclear if Kylee's dad will get her in a room with a therapist, but we're told the family wants her to at least have someone to talk to.

Las nietas de Mama June se están tomando la muerte de su madre con mucho dolor y la familia está pensando en enviarlos a terapia.

Fuentes de la familia le dicen a TMZ que las hijas de Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell están bastante heridas por la reciente pérdida de su madre. El duelo ha sido muy duro y están tratando de vivir las cosas día a día.

Anna murió el 9 de diciembre y su funeral fue el miércoles en Georgia, donde su hija de 11 años de edad, Kaitlyn se armó de valor para hablar.

Nos informan que Kaitlyn no tenía intención de hablar en el funeral de su madre, pero sus sentimientos cambiaron cuando llegó a la funeraria. Allí compartió recuerdos de su tiempo con Anna, algunas anécdotas incluso causaron risas.

Aunque Kaitlyn pudo abrirse y reflexionar en el funeral, la familia está discutiendo los beneficios de que hable con un terapeuta en el futuro. Como te contamos por primera vez, Mama June tiene ahora la custodia de Kaitlyn.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kaitlyn estuvo muy involucrada en la batalla contra el cáncer de Anna, asegurándose de que su madre tomara su medicina y permaneciendo a su lado durante todo el proceso.

La hija menor de Anna es Kylee, de 8 años, que ahora vive con su padre biológico, Michael.

Nos cuentan que debido a la edad de Kylee, le ha sido más difícil procesar la muerte de su madre. Ella ha estado apoyándose en sus amigos y volvió a la escuela el viernes, lo que la familia ve como una buena señal. La escuela tenía un viaje de campo y la familia sintió que era un buen momento para que Kylee volviera.

No está claro si el padre de Kylee la llevará con un terapeuta, pero nos dicen que la familia quiere que al menos tenga a alguien con quien hablar.

Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak continue to be two peas in a pod all these years later -- and as she's said, he's a great godparent to her kids ... especially when they go to Disneyland.

The two former 'Office' stars -- who once dated, but now remain incredibly close friends -- hit up the Happiest Place on Earth Friday with a crew of other adults tagging along ... and a VIP guide escorting them through the park.

These pics, obtained by TMZ, were captured in Fantasyland, and they were near the carousel ... with the grownups asking Mindy's 6-year-old daughter, Katherine, which ride she wanted to go on. Looks like it was a birthday outing ... the kid was born in December 2017.

Anyway, as you can see ... B.J. is holding Katherine's hand -- alongside a blonde woman -- while Mama Bear was walking ahead of them and looking back to keep an eye on everyone.

If you're unfamiliar with Mindy's family dynamic ... it's a little complicated, especially considering her romantic history with B.J. At this point, though, he's part of MK's brood.

Mindy actually has two children, but nobody knows who their dad is -- as she's kept his identity under wraps. With that said, there's been speculation that B.J. himself might, in fact, be the father ... but Mindy has said he's simply her children's godfather ... and nothing more.

Considering how close he is with Mindy, it's not surprising to see B.J. rolling with her and her kid(s) these days -- but it does kinda fuel the unsubstantiated rumor he might be Daddy.

The larger backdrop, of course, is the Ryan/Kelly onscreen coupling that has somewhat manifested in real life. The Ry Guy left his baby behind to be with Ms. Kapoor in the TV show -- but B.J. seems to have found a way to have it all in real life, murky as it may be.

Mindy Kaling y B.J. Novak siguen siendo muy cercanos a pesar de todos estos años y, como ella ha dicho, él es un gran padrino de sus hijos especialmente cuando van a Disneyland.

Las dos ex estrellas de "Office", que una vez salieron y ahora son muy amigos, fueron al lugar más feliz de la Tierra el viernes con un grupo de otros adultos y un guía VIP que los escoltó por el parque.

Estas fotos obtenidas por TMZ fueron capturadas en Disneyland, al parecer cerca del carrusel, donde se puede ver a los adultos preguntarle a la hija de 6 años de Mindy, Katherine, a qué juego quiere ir. Parece que era una salida de cumpleaños, ya que la niña nació en diciembre de 2017.

De todos modos, como se puede ver, B.J. está sosteniendo la mano de Katherine junto a una mujer rubia, mientras Mama Osa iba delante y miraba hacia atrás para chequear que todo estuviera bien.

Si no estás familiarizado con la dinámica familiar de Mindy, bueno, es un poco complicado, especialmente si tenemos en cuenta su historia romántica con B.J.

Mindy tiene dos hijos, pero nadie sabe quién es su padre, ya que ha mantenido su identidad en secreto. Dicho esto, se ha especulado que el propio B.J. podría ser, de hecho, el padre, pero Mindy ha dicho que solo es el padrino de sus hijos y nada más.

Teniendo en cuenta lo cercanos que son con Mindy, no es sorprendente ver a B.J. compartiendo con ella y sus hijos por estos días, pero sí le pone un poco de leña al fuego a este rumor sin fundamento de que podría ser el papá.

El telón de fondo más grande, por supuesto, es el acoplamiento de ambos en la pantalla, como Ryan y Kelly, que se ha manifestado un poco en la vida real. El Ry Guy dejó atrás a su bebé para estar con la Sra. Kapoor en la serie de televisión, pero B.J. parece haber encontrado una manera de tenerlo todo en la vida real, por turbio que sea.

Rosario Dawson's family tree is growing branches ... with the actress set to become a first-time grandma at age 44!!

The "Seven Pounds" actress revealed her daughter Isabella is pregnant with her first child -- and she plans to be called "Glamma" once the new arrival is here.

"It's very exciting," Rosario enthused to Page Six ... adding the baby is due next year.

Rosario adopted 21-year-old Isabella in 2014 out of foster care ... and has largely kept her out of the spotlight -- though they were pictured together on a red carpet in 2017.

In 2021, she opened up about her motherhood journey ... explaining she didn't go through an adoption agency or center... telling Health magazine she knew Isabella's biological mother and that it was without a shadow of a doubt that she'd adopt her when she found out her circumstances.

Rosario talked about her desire to adopt years before ... saying she wanted children to pass on stories of how amazing the other women in the family were.

Jake Paul is keeping his political ties strong, because GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will be VIP'd up when "The Problem Child" steps in the ring this weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Vivek's spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin tells us the presidential hopeful is heading to Orlando to support Jake during his Friday night showdown with Andre August ... and says they've actually become good friends.

We're told Jake's hooked up Vivek with ringside seats -- he'll be seated next to Jake's pals and teammates when the first round bell rings. Once it's over, Vivek plans to get a quick face-to-face catch-up with Jake and his fam ... before heading straight back to Iowa for 6 scheduled campaign events on Saturday.

The bond between Ramaswamy and Paul is no secret, thanks to Jake recruiting the candidate for a joint TikTok dance in September, which went viral.

While it might have seemed like a stunt done for fun and games, Vivek later explained during a GOP debate why he thinks TikTok is vital for winning elections ... it's all about influencing the next-gen.

Jake Paul ha invitado a Vivek Ramaswamy a su próximo combate de boxeo en Orlando. Incluso le compró un boleto al lado del ring, TMZ ha indagado.

Tricia McLaughlin, la portavoz de Vivek, nos dice que viajará al sur el viernes porque es buena amiga de Jake y quiere mostrarle su apoyo en el partido.

Nos informan que va a estar sentado junto a los amigos de Jake y demás compañeros de equipo, animándolo antes de tener una rápida puesta al día con Jake y su familia, luego de regresar directamente a Iowa para sus seis actos de campaña programados para el día siguiente.

El vínculo entre Ramaswamy y Paul no es ningún secreto. Se sabe que son buenos amigos, y Jake incluso lo reclutó para un baile conjunto en TikTok en septiembre, el cual se hizo viral.

Vivek explicó durante un debate de GOP que unirse TikTok es vital para ganar las elecciones, porque se trata de influir en la próxima generación.

Metro Boomin was the guest of highest honor in his St. Louis hometown on Thursday ... presented with a Key to the City for his years of giving back to single mothers.

TMZ Hip Hop got pics of Mayor Tishaura O. Jones bestowing the key to Metro on Thursday inside City Hall, surrounded by dozens of St. Louis community figures, elected officials and his 4 siblings.

This year marks Metro's 7th "Single Moms Are The Real Superheroes" campaign and we're told the annual event is now being reimagined as "Leslie Joanne Single Mothers And Caregivers Appreciate Day" to honor his late mother, who died in 2022.

Little did he know, the city also had a gift for him -- December 14 will officially be "Leland 'Metro Boomin' Wayne Day" going forward.

The Diamond-selling producer teamed up with Amazon Access and Rung for Women for this year's function ... set up to assist single mothers with career coaching, skills training, and additional needed resources.

It was an emotional day, capping off Metro's amazing year ... he helmed the "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" soundtrack, partnered with the St. Louis Cardinals and earned a Producer of the Year Grammy nomination.

It sounds like Naomi Osaka and Cordae have the whole parenthood thing figured out ... 'cause the tennis star says the two have made it easy by building "a really good foundation" for their baby girl.

Osaka and the "Gifted" rapper welcomed their daughter, Shai, in July ... and have been so private about raising their daughter, they don't even share photos of her on social media.

The 4-time Grand Slam singles champ briefly gave some inside info on her new role as a mother five months after giving birth ... and revealed Cordae -- who she started dating in 2019 -- is making parenting easy.

"We built a really good foundation," Osaka told InStyle this week. "I don't know if it's because he's just an easygoing guy, but I think we just respect each other's opinions. And if we disagree on something, we talk it out."

"At the end of the day, we both want what's best for Shai."

Osaka also said her pregnancy wasn't the smoothest journey -- the 26-year-old tested positive for a bacterial infection Group B streptococcus, which affects millions of expecting mothers every year.

The infection can lead to sepsis, meningitis, or stillbirth for babies ... and it made Osaka very anxious.

The death of Olympic track and field champ Tori Bowie, who was found dead as a result of childbirth complications about two months before Osaka's delivery date, had her scared as well.

"I was kind of starting to freak out a little bit," Osaka admitted. "There were so many things I wasn't aware of."

But, everything is going well now ... as Shai is a healthy baby girl, Cordae is being a great father, and Osaka -- who started back training in October -- is looking forward to the next Wimbledon and French Open.

Todd Chrisley alega que está siendo alimentado con comida infestada de animales, mientras pasa su tiempo detrás de las rejas.

En una declaración a TMZ, la Oficina Federal de Prisiones (FBOP), es inflexible respecto a que operan instalaciones seguras y limpias a pesar de las afirmaciones de Todd, acerca de que las ratas y las ardillas están sueltas en las instalaciones de almacenamiento de alimentos, añadiendo que la calidad de los alimentos consumidos por su población encarcelada es una prioridad.

También refutan las afirmaciones de Todd de que su comida está cargada de moho negro y fuera de fecha por lo menos un año, diciendo que los alimentos caducados se desechan y no se utiliza.

De hecho, trabajan bajo las regulaciones de la Oficina Federal de Prisiones, cuya misión de servicio de alimentos tiene como objetivo proporcionar comidas saludables, nutricionalmente sólidos y apetitosos que satisfagan las necesidades de cada individuo.

Instituciones FBOP, incluyendo FPC Pensacola, están acreditados por la Asociación Correccional Americana, que cubre la vida interior y otras regulaciones esenciales, tales como las condiciones ambientales como la temperatura y la calidad del aire.

Claramente no están emocionados, Todd está hablando acerca de las condiciones de prisión tras las rejas, instando a los reclusos a buscar una revisión formal a través de su Programa de Recursos Administrativos.

Además, la hija de Todd, Savannah, dijo recientemente que había sido objeto de represalias por hablar sobre las condiciones de encierro.

El abogado de Todd, Jay Surgent, le dijo a TMZ que su valentía en hablar sobre el estado de los alimentos y la prisión debería ser felicitado y no criticado.

Todd Chrisley is one hungry jailbird ... claiming he's being fed animal-infested meals while behind bars -- though his prison begs to differ.

In a statement to TMZ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is adamant they operate safe and humane facilities despite Todd's claims that rats/squirrels are on the loose in their food storage facility & a dead cat dropped from the ceiling onto their food -- adding the quality of food consumed by their incarcerated population is a priority.

The FBOP also refutes Todd's claims the food is laden with black mold and out of date by at least a year ... saying that expired food is discarded and not utilized.

In fact, they work under FBOP regulations, and tell us ... their food service mission aims to provide healthy, nutritionally sound, and appetizing meals that meet the needs of every individual.

FBOP institutions -- including FPC Pensacola, where Todd is incarcerated -- are accredited by the American Correctional Association, which covers indoor living and other essential regulations such as environmental conditions like temperature and air quality.

Clearly, they're not thrilled Todd is speaking out about prison conditions while behind bars ... and the FBOP says it urges inmates to instead seek a formal review through the prison's Administrative Remedy Program for any concerns.

To add insult to injury, Todd's daughter Savannah recently accused prison officials of retaliating against Todd for speaking out about lock-up conditions.

On that issue, Chrisley's lawyer Jay Surgent, says Todd's bravery in speaking out about the state of the prison should be congratulated, not criticized. The Bureau of Prisons said it thoroughly investigates all claims of employee misconduct.

Remember, Todd's wife Julie Chrisley is serving her time at FMC Lexington, where we haven't heard a peep from her about the grub.
