Tina Knowles Beyoncé's Not Trying to Look White ... Stop Attacking Her!!!
Tina Knowles is defending Beyoncé in the face of accusations the singer is lightening her skin and hair to look white ... saying she's had enough of the negative narratives.
Beyoncé's mom sounded off Tuesday on social media, reacting to scores of online fan comments questioning her daughter's look at Saturday's premiere of her "Renaissance" movie.
Tina's referencing fan comments on Beyoncé's platinum blonde hair and skin color -- some comments even accused her of bleaching her skin.
Tina says those accusations are stupid, ignorant, self-hating and racist ... and she says it's sad that some Black people "continue with the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy."
Beyoncé's mom says her daughter "wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement" ... pointing out the theme for the movie premiere, and the whole "Renaissance" tour, was silver.
Tina says the folks accusing Beyoncé of trying to look white are nothing but clowns, losers, bozos and "sad little haters" who are just jealous.

She even mentions she's upset with TMZ because we reached out to Beyoncé's hairstylist to see if they had a comment about what fans were saying about her look at the premiere.
Tina says Black celebrities have been wearing platinum hair since Etta James way back in the day, adding ... "I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about everyone of them at one time or another. Are they all trying to be white?"
Bottom line ... Ms. Tina is sick and tired of people attacking her daughter, and reached her boiling point -- feeling the need to speak out despite knowing Beyoncé "is going to be pissed at me for doing this."
We covered it all on a recent episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Post Malone Lanza nuevo merchandasing de los Dallas Cowboy ... Después de asociarse con su amado equipo
Además de la cerveza y los Bentleys, Post Malone acaba de lograr una buena combinación de dos de sus cosas favoritas en el mundo: los Dallas Cowboys y la ropa nueva. Esto, pues el rapero está ayudando a su amado equipo con una nueva línea de merchandising.
El cantante de "Better Now" debutó oficialmente con artículos para los Cowboys esta semana, después de colaborar con el diseñador de Cheatin Snakes, Grant Kratzer.
La línea de ropa cuenta con 22 piezas en total e incluye camisetas, chaquetas, sudaderas, pantalones cortos y mucho más.
Todos los artículos tienen una mezcla única de logotipos de los Cowboys de Dallas, así como imágenes asociadas con Post, y los aficionados podrán tenerlos oficialmente en sus manos a finales de esta semana, a través de la plataforma de transmisión en vivo NTWRK.
Los jugadores de los Cowboys, por supuesto, ya pudieron echar un vistazo al botín y Dak Prescott, así como otros de sus compañeros de equipo, y claramente son fans de todo.
Los artículos oscilarán entre $40 a $168, y cuando a Post, que ya se asoció con su equipo favorito, a principios de este año para hacer un restaurante con temática de los Cowboys, se le preguntó su opinión sobre todo esto, acertadamente dijo que tenía una sola cita ...
"¡Qué tal los Cowboys!".

The "Better Now" crooner officially debuted the Cowboys-approved items this week ... after collabing with Cheatin Snakes designer Grant Kratzer.
The clothing line features 22 pieces in total ... and includes tees, jackets, sweatshirts, shorts and more.
All of the items have a unique blend of Dallas Cowboys logos as well as imagery associated with Post -- and fans will be able to officially get their hands on them later this week through live stream platform NTWRK.
Cowboys players, of course, already got an early look at the swag ... and Dak Prescott -- as well as some of his other high-profile teammates -- were clearly fans of it all.
The gear will range from $40 to $168 ... and when Post -- who's already partnered with his favorite team earlier this year to make a Cowboys-themed Raising Cane's restaurant -- was asked for his opinion on it all, he fittingly had just one quote ...
"How ‘bout them Cowboys!"

Travis Kelce Rocks Strip Club Shirt After Game ... Not Afraid to Be Himself!!!
Travis Kelce wearing a strip club shirt might raise an eyebrow for some -- but the dude isn't batting an eyelash at all ... which says a lot about how solid his relationship is with Taylor Swift.
The KC Chiefs tight end was spotted wearing a fashionable/cozy outfit after Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders ... but folks couldn't help but notice a T-shirt he was rockin' underneath his windbreaker -- with the words "Crazy Horse Las Vegas" emblazoned across the front.
NOVEMBER 2023
Of course, Crazy Horse 3 is a popular strip club in town, and the obvious questions people started asking is: Did he visit the place ... while also dating the biggest pop star in the world???
That question remains unanswered -- Crazy Horse 3 tells TMZ, it prioritizes the privacy of guests, and "as a policy, we do not disclose or comment on the identities of individuals who choose to enjoy their time within our club." The club's rep Lindsay Feldman did confirm Travis wearing the shirt was not a paid endorsement situation.
However, the establishment isn't shying away from his plug ... the image is on its IG.
Whether or not he went, the bigger point here is ... TK isn't skittish floating the possibility he did go to a strip club.
He's one of the most famous guys in the world right now as he and Taylor continue to see each other -- and undoubtedly also understands the PR game that comes with that.
With that said ... he's clearly gonna be himself, and not try to fit into whatever perfect Taylor Swift boyfriend image others might have in mind.
Translation: The guy's comfortable in his own skin, and in his bond with TayTay.
Like we told you ... both Travis and Taylor are back together in Kansas City now after she wrapped up her Brazil shows, and they'll likely spend the rest of the holidays side by side.
Tayvis is going strong and then some ... strip club shirts or not!

Travis Kelce Viste una camiseta de un club de striptease No tiene miedo a ser él mismo!!!
Travis Kelce vistiendo una camiseta de un club de striptease podría parecer sospechoso para algunos, pero el tipo no está nervioso en absoluto, lo que dice mucho de lo sólida que es su relación con Taylor Swift.
El jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs fue visto con un atuendo cómodo y elegante después del partido del domingo contra los Raiders de Las Vegas. Sin embargo, la gente no pudo dejar pasar una camiseta que llevaba debajo de su cortavientos con las palabras "Crazy Horse Las Vegas" estampada en la parte delantera.
NOVEMBER 2023
Por supuesto, Crazy Horse 3 es un club de striptease muy popular en la ciudad y todos se empezaron a preguntar, obviamente, si Travis había estado en el lugar durante su relación con la mayor estrella del pop del mundo.
La pregunta sigue sin respuesta... Crazy Horse 3 le dice a TMZ que prioriza la privacidad de sus clientes y "como política, no revelamos ni comentamos sobre las identidades de las personas que optan por disfrutar de su tiempo dentro de nuestro club". La representante del club, Lindsay Feldman, sí confirmó que la vestimenta de Travis no era un patrocinio pagado.
Sin embargo, el establecimiento no está rehuyendo de ella, la imagen está en su IG.
Si fue o no fue al club, el punto más grande aquí es que Travis Kelce no está asustado con la posibilidad de haber estado ahí.
Kelce es uno de los hombres más famosos en este momento, mientras continúa su relación con Taylor, y sin duda, también entiende el juego de relaciones públicas que eso conlleva.
Dicho esto, está claro que el tipo va a seguir siendo el mismo de siempre y no está tratando de encajar en la idea de novio perfecto de Taylor Swift que otros pueden tener en mente
En otras palabras, el chico está cómodo cómo es y con su vínculo con TayTay.
Como les contamos, Travis y Taylor están otra vez juntos en Kansas City después de que Taylor terminara sus conciertos en Brasil, y es probable que pasen el resto de las vacaciones uno al lado del otro.
Tayvis va muy en serio... ¡con camisas de club de striptease o no!

Two key people in the viral Alabama riverboat brawl are capitalizing on their newfound fame ... by hawking merch based on the infamous fight.
Reggie Ray, who was charged with disorderly conduct after being identified as the man who whacked a folding chair at several people, and Tammie Howard teamed up with attorney Jehan "J" Carter to launch the new line of merch.
Carter tells us Ray and Howard wanted to create stock of their own after seeing other people selling clothing related to the riverboat brawl -- and using their likeness -- on sites like Etsy and Amazon.
Retailing between $12.99-$59.99, the "Alabama Brawl Collection" boasts a series of mugs, water bottles, hats, sweaters, and hoodies with the most common slogan: "Fade In The Water."
Other taglines from the unisex line-up include "Lift Every Chair And Swing," "Let Freedom Swing," "Chairman For Justice," and "Nathaniel Alexander, He Invented The Folding Chair So That You Could Swing."
Sizes range from S to 3XL, with the site urging people to snag the items to "celebrate the bravery of the Alabama Brawl."
Moving forward ... J Carter also tells us Reggie and Tammy have decided to take legal action against those who've used their likeness and trademarks without their consent.
If you remember, the internet went wild with viral clips from the riverfront Montgomery brawl -- beginning with men from a pontoon boat blocking a passenger ferry from docking ... sparking a huge showdown along racial lines.

Kobe Bryant Uniform From Final NBA Road Game ... Expected To Bring In $500k+ At Auction!

Kobe Bryant's full uniform -- from the jersey on his back to the Nikes on his feet -- worn by the NBA legend during the final road game of his historic career is now up for auction ... and the items are expected to rake in over half a million bucks!
SCP Auctions has some awesome Mamba merch on the block this time around (game-used and signed basketball from his 61-point performance at MSG, championship ring gifted to KB's dad) ... including Bryant's shorts, jersey, and kicks from the Lakers vs. Thunder game at Chesapeake Bay Arena in Oklahoma City on April 11, 2016, Kobe's 677th and last regular season away game.
Bryant, who along with his Lakers teammates were on the second leg of a back-to-back, scored 13 points that night ... entirely in the first quarter. Kobe, battling fatigue and stiffness due to injury, couldn't get going offensively the rest of the game (LAL lost 112-79), though not for a lack of effort, even going one-on-one with a much younger Kevin Durant.
The 4XL Adidas purple mesh official NBA jersey, adorned with Kob's iconic number 24, are being sold together as a package with the 3XL Adidas Climacool shorts.
Cool tidbit ... the shorts contain a small microphone pocket so Bryant could be mic'd up while playing.
The jersey and shorts have been photo-matched by two industry leaders (Resolution Photomatching and Sports Investors), according to SCP ... where experts painstakingly examine high-resolution photos, along with the items, looking for unique characteristics.
Authenticators determined Kobe not only wore the shorts in OKC, but on 9 other occasions during the final months of his emotional farewell season.
As for the sneakers, Kobe's own sized-14 Nike Kobe 11 Elite Lows are also on the auction block! The shoes show signs consistent with being used in one game (meaning they're in good shape!)
SCP expects the uniform (shorts and jersey) to sell for upwards of $500K ... meanwhile, the sneakers are expected to bring in around $100 grand!
It's easy to see the pieces going for exorbitant prices when you consider the possibility that this is the last ever game-worn memorabilia to hit the open market ... as it was Kobe's second to last game.
Of course, on April 13, 2016, two days after the OKC game, Bryant dropped 60 points in a comeback win over the Utah Jazz at the Staples Center ... one of the finest farewell performances in sports history.
That uniform is presumably held by the Bryant family, and it's hard to imagine them ever letting go of that uniform.
Kob's last-ever road game uniform and sneakers auction ends December 2!

Por supuesto, Bowman se lo puede permitir, el cuatro veces All-Pro supuestamente ganó $44 MILLONES durante su carrera en la NFL.
Bowman está trabajando como analista defensivo para el equipo de fútbol de la Universidad de Maryland después de su retiro, así que si el entrenador se ve un poco más elegante alrededor de las instalaciones de los Terps este mes, ¡¡¡ya saben por qué!!

Of course, Bowman can afford it -- the four-time All-Pro reportedly made $44 MILLION during his NFL career.

LaMelo Ball Forced To Cover Neck Tattoo ... Ink Violates NBA Rules
The NBA is admitting it's forcing LaMelo Ball to cover up his new neck tattoo ... claiming the Charlotte Hornets star's ink is violating league policy.
The 22-year-old got the "LF" put just below his left ear back in September ... to represent his middle name as well as his LaFrancé clothing line.
But, recently, he's covered it up with a bandage ... and on Friday, NBA spokesman Tim Frank said in a statement to ESPN it's because "players are prohibited from displaying commercial logos or corporate insignia on their body or in their hair during games."
"We try to enforce the rule reasonably, in accordance with its purpose, and taking into account players' efforts to express themselves in a non-commercial manner," Frank added. "But LaMelo Ball's neck tattoo is in obvious violation of the rule and, accordingly, he's required to cover it."
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Ball has been fighting the ruling ... and is still in talks with the league about coming up with an alternative solution.
The scenario is similar to one Ball's older brother, Lonzo Ball, had to deal with back in 2018 ... when the league made him cover up a "Big Baller Brand" tattoo he had gotten on his arm.
Fortunately for Melo, he just signed a $260 million extension with Charlotte in July ... so he's got plenty of money to get creative with fixes if the NBA won't budge.

Jeweler Jean Dousset Natural Diamonds Same As Lab-Grown ... Can't Spot Difference!!!

Exclusive

News flash ... lab-grown diamonds are REAL diamonds and there's really no difference between man-made rocks and their natural counterparts ... according to a famous jeweler.
Jean Dousset, a descendant of Cartier founder Louis Francois Cartier, joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and schooled us on lab-grown diamonds ... explaining why they are indeed a diamond in every sense of the way.
JD says even the most seasoned gemologists cannot tell the difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds ... and they're both graded on the same scales under the same rules and principles.
It's pretty interesting to consider ... seeing as there's controversy surrounding engagement rings these days. Based on what Jean's telling us here, it sounds like a man would be able to safely pass off a lab-grown diamond engagement ring as a natural one and the woman would never know.
Of course, Jean says most couples are shopping together for rings nowadays and he's not advocating for people to get engaged on a lie ... but the window of opportunity is definitely there.
Jean's got his own jewelry store in West Hollywood and this year he started selling only lab-grown diamonds. He's previously designed engagement rings for Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria and Amy Adams and says couples can get more bang for their buck with lab-grown diamonds.
It's an educational conversation ... and Jean points out the ethical concerns regarding natural diamonds and tells us why the fancy tech is putting the natural diamond industry on alert.

Tyler, The Creator to Rappers Quit the Hot Wings & Sneaker Sprees Just Get To Interviews
UPDATE
1:57 PM PT -- After seeing the interview clip go viral, Tyler, The Creator is sending an olive branch to "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans for using the show as a scapegoat for hip hop's nonsense.
Tyler explained he's actually a fan of the show and simply used it as a loose example because it was at the top of his mind ... although "deep-throating" wings is clearly a bar!!!
No sorry for the sneakerheads, though. Joe La Puma, looks like you're on your own.
Tyler, The Creator is fed up with rappers and their lifestyle interviews ... mainly the ones found on Complex's channel involving scarfing down chicken wings and dropping thousands on new shoes!!! 😬
Midway through his sit down with Nardwuar, Tyler went on a bit of a tangent about the state of music ... explaining why he goes in-depth detailing his art.
He got a little ticked off as he criticized artists for feeding into the social media system and hopping on platforms to go "f***in' sneaker shopping" -- or even "deep-throating" hot wings for an hour!!!
Complex has been wooing audiences with their "Sneaker Shopping" and "Hot Ones" series for years featuring tons of celebrity guests -- but Tyler's letting it be known he's not that dude.
The way he sees it, artists are wasting precious time with chicken and sneakers when they should be discussing that 15-track album ... before it crashes and burns on Billboard.
Lil Yachty says hip-hop is in a terrible place right now: “it’s a lot of quick low-quality music being put out” pic.twitter.com/X22OFn2tQb
— SAY CHEESE! 👄🧀 (@SaycheeseDGTL) November 11, 2023 @SaycheeseDGTL
We've seen plenty of artists complain about rap's quality these days ... ranging from current-gen artists such as Lil Yachty to veterans like Xzibit.
But, Tyler's beef is a little different -- regardless of the music quality, he's imploring rappers to up their game when it comes to promoting that music.
More focused interviews don't sound like a horrible idea.

GQ's Men of the Year Crawling with Hot Female Celebs ... This Is a Woman's World!!!
GQ's Men of the Year party is supposed to be a nod to the notable fellas in the industry -- but if you took a quick look at their shindig last night ... you'd swear it was ladies' night!
The men's magazine threw its annual bash Thursday night in L.A. -- marking the U.S. version of their MOTY Awards, following the UK get-together across the pond Wednesday -- and as you can imagine ... the place was crawling with beautiful famous faces.
Yes, there were guys there obviously ... including some of the honorees, like Jacob Elordi, James Marsden, Travis Scott, Dwyane Wade, Tom Ford, John Legend, MGK and more.
They all looked great, getting dressed up and throwing on their best blue steel -- but it was the women who truly stunned inside.
Some of the lovely gals who showed up and showed out included Kim K, Megan Fox, Megan Thee Stallion, Paris Hilton, Olivia Rodrigo, Lorde, Winnie Harlow, Chloe Bailey and Dua Lipa ... just to name a few.
Of course, no one is griping about having the ladies attend -- who wouldn't enjoy their company -- but there has been some side-eye this year over the fact that quite a few women are being mixed in as winners, etc.
It goes without saying, though ... there's room for all, and sometimes -- even a woman can be the man. Let's hear it for the ladies and gents of GQ -- they left their mark, big time.
