Feuds

Cruz and Brooklyn Beckham may not be talking ... but Cruz still wants the best for his big bro on his birthday ... and he's hopeful for reconciliation.

Photogs caught up with Cruz on the street in Paris, France Wednesday ... and they asked if he had a message for Brooklyn on his 27th birthday.

Cruz tosses a quick "Happy Birthday" Brooklyn's way ... but, he keeps mum on whether the two have spoken in recent months.

As for whether there will be a reconciliation -- Cruz responds, "I hope so" -- and leaves it at that.

Brooklyn Beckham rang in his birthday surrounded by his wife, Nicola Peltz, and close friends ... 'cause TMZ has learned there's still radio silence between him and his famous parents.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Brooklyn has not spoken to David or Victoria Beckham at all -- even on his birthday -- despite both of them posting loving tributes to him on social media.

We're told Brooklyn still has his parents blocked on social media, meaning he didn't even see their birthday messages directly. According to our sources, Brooklyn feels the public posts come off performative ... which is a sentiment he and Peltz have had throughout the family's ongoing feud.

Wild moment on Capitol Hill ... GOP Senator Tim Sheehy helped police remove an anti-war protestor from a Senate hearing ... and it's all on video.

T.I. absolutely cooked 50 Cent with a recent barrage of diss tracks aimed at the rapper-turned-TV-mogul ... but T.I. downplayed the beef when our producer ran into him in NYC today.

"Man, that s***'s so last week, man," T.I. said. "We got the No. 1 song in the country -- 'Let 'Em Know.'"

The most random sports beef is intensifying -- Tom Brady isn't done going after Logan Paul for claiming he could hang with the NFL's big dogs ... straight-up calling the WWE Superstar a "b*tch!!"

The trash-talking started during Super Bowl week ... when Brady said Paul's wrestling skills were "cute," but no match for the real pros when they take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia later this month.

Even though it's been damn near a month since their heated exchange, TB12 clearly hasn't gotten over it ... 'cause he unloaded more smack talk while working out with his longtime teammate Rob Gronkowski.

4 AM PST -- The White House is mocking Kesha for blasting their use of her song "Blow" alongside a video of a fighter jets obliterating a ship.

Furthermore, Kaelan Dorr, White House Deputy Communications Director chimed in ... "Kesha quotes are like Popeye’s Spinach to this team ... Memes? They’ll continue. Winning? Will also continue."

Kesha is ripping President Trump and the White House for using one of her songs in a social media post, she says, incites violence and threatens war.

Here's the deal ... the official White House posted a video on TikTok on Feb. 10 that shows a military plane blowing up a ship ... all while Kesha's "Blow" plays.

Ron Funches absolutely torched his costars on "The Traitors" ... with Porsha Williams catching a considerable amount of the heat as his main punchline!

The bit keeps escalating ... Ron says when he later Googled her, fans were stunned he didn’t know exactly how dumb she really was.

Spencer Pratt is Karen Bass’ biggest threat in the race for Los Angeles mayor ... at least according to the Bass campaign’s own internal pollster.

According to the letter, Frost allegedly made the claims during a January 26 livestream, telling viewers Powell sexually assaulted him and infected him with herpes. Her legal team says the allegations are "completely devoid of factual support" and have "no merit whatsoever."
