Gossip / Rumors

The Internet is in a frenzy right now over what looks like big 'Shrek' news -- the apparent leaking of the release date for the 5th movie ... courtesy of an intern, of all people.

Here's the deal ... "Shrek 5" is trending, and it all has to do with a screengrab of an alleged LinkedIn resume from a young woman who claims to have recently worked at NBCUniversal -- the parent company of the green guy's studio, DreamWorks.

If the screenshot is legit, the woman made a big blunder ... because she's hyping the fact she worked on 'Shrek 5' this year, which she says is set to come out in 2025.

As far as what she says she was doing on the film -- she says consumer product work ... aka, figuring out how to subtly shove brands into the movie, or product integration, if you will.

Since it was posted and widely shared ... the woman's profile's been tweaked, with the 'Shrek' mention scrubbed. NBCU hasn't officially announced a 'Shrek 5' just yet, but has certainly teased it in recent 'Shrek'-adjacent films.

Obviously, there's a HUGE fanbase for 'Shrek' ... and folks have long been waiting for the next installment -- even though the last 2 had less than great reception.

NBCU hasn't commented on the purported leak ... but some people think this will force an official announcement to come soon.

BTW, speaking of 'Shrek' ... there were some other related updates that surfaced, including Rita Ora dressing up as Princess Fiona (ogre version) and cruising the new Shrek swamp house that AirBnB was plugging recently. She did a weekend stay, and it looked awesome.

Shawn Mendes is moving on from Camila Cabello with a mystery "Señorita," ... who he got cozy with during a dinner date.

The "Stitches" singer was joined by an unidentified brunette at the E.P. & L.P. Rooftop & Restaurant in West Hollywood Tuesday -- with the source telling TMZ the pair were instantly touchy-feely upon entering the eatery.

Check out the snap for yourself ... his companion has her arm tightly slung around him -- a possible attempt to ward off other admirers?

Marking her territory or not, we're told the duo was smiling, canoodling, and chatting the night away -- basically doing everything but locking lips ... so the potential new lovers may be taking things slow.

An hour and a half later, Shawn and his plus one left the venue together, it was added to TMZ.

This is Shawn's first romantic link since splitting with ex-Harmonizer Camila in June.

They initially began dating in 2019 ... even quarantining together during the pandemic before calling it a day in November 2021.

Earlier this year, they gave their romance another stab ... enjoying a steamy snog at Coachella and some hand-in-hand strolls in the Big Apple.

Shawn Mendes está pasando de Camila Cabello con una misteriosa "Señorita", con quien se puso cariñoso durante una cena.

La estrella de "Stitches" se reunió con una morena no identificada en el E.P. & L.P. Rooftop & Restaurant en West Hollywood el martes y una fuente nos comentó que la pareja fue muy cariñosa al entrar al restaurante.

Échale un vistazo a la instantánea por ti mismo, su compañera tiene su brazo alrededor de él, un posible intento de ahuyentar a las admiradoras.

Marcando su territorio o no, nos dicen que el dúo estaba sonriendo, canoodling, y charlando toda la noche - básicamente haciendo todo menos cerrar los labios ... por lo que los nuevos amantes potenciales pueden estar tomando las cosas con calma.

Una hora y media más tarde, Shawn y su más uno dejó el lugar juntos, se añadió a TMZ.

Este es el primer romance de Shawn desde que se separó de su ex compañera Camila en junio.

Comenzaron a salir en 2019, incluso pasaron la cuarentena juntos durante la pandemia antes de terminar en noviembre de 2021.

A principios de este año, le dieron a su romance otra puñalada, disfrutando de un beso en Coachella y algunos paseos de la mano en la Gran Manzana.

Jordan Poole is finally addressing the rumors he shelled out half a million bucks on a date with Ice Spice ... and the Washington Wizards guard says it's all fake news!!

The 24-year-old hooper's hilarious denial came during a meet-and-greet with fans this week ... when one young supporter asked him straight-up if there's any truth behind the talk of an extravagant romance with the MC.

"Definitely not," Poole said. "Definitely cap!"

If you're not aware of how this came to be, rapper Cam'ron started the drama back in May when he called out Poole -- then on the Golden State Warriors -- for his playoff performance.

"Jordan Poole, you spent $500,000 on an Ice Spice date," Cam said on his "It Is What It Is" podcast. "You’re a munch and you’re playing like a f***ing munch."

"This is not you from last year, bro. Go back to Milwaukee and figure it the f*** out and get back in the playoffs, 'cause you look crazy."

Fans ran with the $500k rumor ... especially since Ice Spice is one of the hottest female rappers out right now, and Poole had signed a four-year, $140 million extension months prior.

Poole's adamant response should be enough to clear his name of the wild rumor ... but it probably won't stop the internet trolls from sticking to it for entertainment purposes.

Poole's teammate sitting beside him thought his answer was hilarious ... but at least we now know straight from his mouth.

Let's play devil's advocate here -- Poole only denied dropping a ton of dough on a date with IS, so it's entirely possible he DID take her out ... just for much less. But it looks like she's never addressed the rumor in the first place.

John Stamos' ex-girlfriend has already denied his cheating story about Tony Danza -- but now, she's shedding even more light on what she says actually went down.

Teri Copley is spilling the whole story now ... at least her side of it, anyway. She posted a lengthy video on YouTube detailing the whole thing -- including what she says led to them breaking up before Stamos came over to her house to find Danza staying over with TC.

According to Teri, things were going fine with JS -- that is, until she says his mom called her one day to warn her that he had no plans of marrying her ... and to be careful.

Shortly after that, Teri says she dumped John -- insisting she made it clear to him that they shouldn't see each other anymore ... after which, she claims the whole Danza confrontation happened. However, it didn't happen the way Stamos described in his book ... so says Teri.

Long story short ... Teri says that after she broke up with John, she read a magazine interview that Danza had given -- in which he said he would've married Teri (apparently, they'd had a connection before all this) ... and that led to her inviting him over.

She says the night John came over, all he did was knock on her front door ... which she says she answered fully-clothed, and asked him what the heck he was doing there.

John, according to her, simply shook his head and walked away -- which Teri says she didn't understand, 'cause they were dunzo. She goes on to say that, years later, she became friendly with John again and told him about what his mom had once told her.

She says John wasn't aware his mom had told her that once upon a time -- and insisted he would've married her ... 'cause he was madly in love with her, which he echoed in his book.

Now, however, after John aired out their dirty laundry -- and in an inauthentic way, as Teri sees it -- she's a little pissed at him ... saying she feels "sideswiped" by this whole saga.

Las recientes publicaciones de Matthew Perry en "Matman" antes de su muerte no eran una señal de que estuviera pidiendo ayuda, esto según la mujer con la que cenó el día antes de su fallecimiento.

Athenna Crosby, la morena misteriosa vista cenando con Matthew antes de morir, le dice a TMZ que la estrella de "Friends" estaba realmente en Batman - incluso llamándose a sí mismo "Matman" y su paseo en el Batmobile.

Ella dice que era un tipo juguetón durante los meses que lo conoció y los que piensan que sus comentarios de superhéroes en línea eran mensajes subliminales acerca de su seguridad están muy equivocados.

Athenna califica sus mensajes como los de un nerd y un fan apasionado de los superéroes.

Como informamos, la modelo de 25 años de edad y reportera de entretenimiento se juntó a cenar con Matthew el pasado viernes en el Hotel Bel-Air y dijo que estaba devastada al enterarse de su muerte solo un día después de verlo.

Athenna reafirma en lo que ya nos han dicho. Básicamente que el actor estaba muy optimista y de buen humor antes de su muerte e incluso tenía proyectos.

De hecho, Athenna nos dice que ha habido un montón de especulaciones en torno a la muerte de Matthew los días que falleció. Ella solo puede hablar de su experiencia y está segura de su muerte prematura fue un trágico accidente.

There's a wild conspiracy theory floating around that Matthew Perry's recent "Mattman" posts before his death were a cry for help ... but the woman he dined with the day before he passed says that theory couldn't be further from the truth.

Athenna Crosby, the mystery brunette spotted grabbing a meal with Matthew before he died, tells TMZ ... the "Friends" star was really into Batman -- even calling himself "Mattman" and his ride the Batmobile.

She says he was a playful guy in the months that she knew him ... and the conspiracy theory he was pushing subliminal messages about his safety by using the superhero reference is way off.

Athenna playfully chalks the "Mattman" posts up to Perry being a nerd and says fans jumping on the conspiracy train are definitely getting carried away.

As we reported, the 25-year-old model and entertainment reporter grabbed a bite to eat with Matthew last Friday at the Hotel Bel-Air ... and said she was devastated to learn of his death just a day after seeing him.

Athenna doubles down on what we've been told already -- the actor was extremely optimistic and in great spirits leading up to his death ... and he even had projects lined up.

In fact, Athenna tells us there's been a lot of speculation surrounding Matthew's death in the days since he passed away ... and while she can only speak from her experience, she's certain his untimely death was a tragic accident.

Jeremy Allen White and singer Rosalía took a day trip to a Los Angeles farmers market ... further fueling those dating rumors from the last couple weeks with a giant bouquet of flowers.

The two were spotted Sunday, with "The Bear" star carrying a large bouquet while the 31-year-old also cradled a flower in her hand, presumably a gift from Jeremy.

Both looked pretty casual and comfortable around the other ... the actor wore a khaki cardigan, baggy black joggers and a baseball cap. Rosalía with a blue tie-dye hoodie, white shorts, and biker buckle-up boots.

While they both have yet to confirm their relationship status, the photos are pretty telling, not to mention, their sighting comes after they fueled romance speculation last week with a dinner date and a Los Angeles screening of "Wild Things."

Remember, it was back in August when White was spotted locking lips with actress Ashley Moore in a very public display of affection. The smooch came amid his divorce from his estranged wife Addison Timlin with whom he shares two young daughters, Ezer and Dolores.

TMZ broke the story Addison had filed for divorce in May after three years of marriage. They appeared to be friendly while at their kids' soccer practice in July; however, in docs obtained by TMZ earlier this month, it was revealed that Jeremy agreed to test for alcohol as part of a custody agreement he has with Addison.

Jeremy Allen White y la cantante Rosalía fueron a un mercado de Los Ángeles, alimentando aún más los rumores de noviazgo de las últimas semanas con un ramo de flores gigante.

Los dos fueron vistos el domingo, con "El Oso" estrella que lleva un gran ramo de flores, mientras que el 31-años de edad, también acunó una flor en la mano, presumiblemente un regalo de Jeremy.

Ambos parecían bastante casuales y cómodos. El actor llevaba una chaqueta de punto de color caqui, pantalón de buzo negro y una gorra de béisbol. Rosalía con una sudadera con capucha azul, pantalones cortos blancos y botas.

Mientras que ambos aún no han confirmado su estado civil, las fotos son bastante reveladoras, además, su avistamiento se produce luego de que alimentaron las especulaciones de romance la semana pasada debido a una cita donde cenaron luego de una proyección en Los Ángeles de "Wild Things".

Recordemos que fue en agosto cuando White fue visto besando a la actriz Ashley Moore en una muestra pública de afecto. El beso se produjo en medio de su divorcio de su esposa Addison Timlin con quien comparte dos hijas pequeñas, Ezer y Dolores.

TMZ publicó la noticia de que Addison había solicitado el divorcio en mayo después de tres años de matrimonio. Parecían ser amigables, mientras que en la práctica de fútbol de sus hijos en julio, sin embargo, en los documentos obtenidos por TMZ a principios de este mes, se reveló que Jeremy accedió a la prueba de alcohol como parte de un acuerdo de custodia que tiene con Addison.

Mauricio Umansky and his "Dancing with the Stars" dance partner Emma Slater are lookin' to clear the air about the pic of them holding hands ... claiming folks are blowing it out way of proportion.

The 2 talked about the viral photo on social media Thursday, taking a break from dance rehearsals to comment ... saying they grabbed some sushi after rehearsal -- following an "emotional week" -- and they were chatting outside after when he grabbed Emma's hand.

He says from there, they headed to the car -- as we reported, their hands were still locked -- but that's about it.

Emma even joked about how some think the brief interaction means they're full-on dating.

Remember, sources with direct knowledge told us much of what MU and ES are tellin' their followers ... but it was a story Kyle Richards certainly wasn't buying.

We were told the pictures of Mauricio and Emma were really disrespectful to the 'Real Housewives' star ... and she gave her reasons for not believing their backstory on Wednesday's "Watch What Happens Live."

We covered the drama on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Mauricio Umansky y su pareja de baile de "Dancing with the Stars", Emma Slater, están buscando aclarar las cosas sobre la foto en la que aparecen tomados de la mano, alegando que la gente está suponiendo de forma desproporcionada.

Los dos hablaron de la imagen que se hizo viral en las redes sociales el jueves durante un descanso de los ensayos. Comentaron que ese día fueron a comer sushi porque había sido una "semana emocional" y que después se quedaron conversando afuera cuando él agarró la mano de Emma.

Él dice que a partir de ahí se dirigieron al carro, y como informamos, sus manos todavía estaban entrelazadas.

Emma incluso bromeó acerca de cómo algunos piensan que la breve interacción significa que están saliendo completamente.

Recuerden, fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dijeron más o menos lo que Mauricio y Emma están contando a sus seguidores, pero es una historia que Kyle Richards ciertamente no se cree.

Nos dijeron que las fotos de Mauricio y Emma fueron consideradas una falta de respeto a la estrella de 'Real Housewives' y ella dio sus razones para no creer su versión de las cosas el miércoles en "Watch What Happens Live".

Que Kyle Richards borrara la foto de Mauricio Umansky y su pareja de baile en "Dancing With the Stars" fue algo intencional y se conecta directamente con la imagen de Mauricio saliendo de un restaurante de Los Ángeles de la mano con Emma Slater.

Fuentes cercanas a la pareja distanciada dicen a TMZ que Kyle no se cree lo que Mauricio está diciendo sobre las fotos, esto es, que estaba de la mano con Emma porque estaba sobrepasado por la emoción de rememorar los buenos recuerdos con Kyle, mientras comían sushi. La historia y su motivación simplemente no se sostienen.

Como sabrán, Kyle eliminó la foto de Mauricio y Emma apoyándolos en "Dancing With The Stars" de su feed de Instagram, y no por accidente.

La cuestión es... todo el mundo está hablando de una posible relación entre Kyle y Morgan Wade, aunque las dos nunca han confirmado o negado nada. No ha habido fotos de demostración de afecto en público, por lo que la foto de Mauricio y Emma es un nuevo giro  y algunos cercanos a la pareja lo están considerando "súper irrespetuoso" con Kyle.

Dicho esto, los dos siguen viviendo bajo el mismo techo y su relación es "en general amigable", dicen las fuentes.

Kyle Richards deleting the photo of Mauricio Umansky and his dance partner on "Dancing With the Stars" was intentional ... it directly connects to the photo of Mauricio walking out of an L.A. restaurant holding hands with Emma Slater.

Sources close to the estranged couple tell TMZ ... Kyle isn't buying what Mauricio is selling over the pics ... he says he was holding hands with Emma because he was overtaken with emotion ... when he talked to Emma over sushi about fond memories of getting married to Kyle. The story and the motivation just don't hold water.

As you may know, Kyle removed the pic of Mauricio and Emma supporting them on 'DWTS' from her Instagram feed, and not by accident.

Fact is ... everyone's talking about a rumored relationship between Kyle and Morgan Wade, although the 2 have never confirmed or denied it. There have been no PDA pics of Kyle and Morgan, so the photo of Mauricio and Emma is a new twist .... some folks close to the couple call it " super disrespectful" to Kyle.

Mauricio and Emma's performance on "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night came off as pretty sexy, too ... and people online have been sure to point that out.

That said ... the 2 are still living under the same roof and their relationship is "generally amicable," sources say.

In terms of any possible reconciliation, we're told this photo could be a buzzkill. As one source put it, "It's obvious what's up."

John Stamos claims he once caught a girlfriend of his in the '80s cheating on him with Tony Danza ... but the woman says John's got it all wrong.

Teri Copley, the ex-gf John's accused of an alleged affair, denies cheating on him ... she says they were already broken up when Stamos found her in bed with Danza.

The model/actress confirms part of John's story ... that he came over to her place to find her naked in bed next to a passed-out Tony ... but she told People she and John had already ended their relationship.

Teri told the outlet, "I wondered, 'What was John doing there?' because we had broken up. He just looked at me and shook his head, and walked away."

As we reported ... John reveals the alleged affair in his upcoming memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me," claiming he also peeked into Tony's Porsche, which was parked at Teri's place, and saw an autographed poster of her half-naked with a note that read ... "My Dear Tony, I'll love you forever. XO, Teri."

John said he was madly in love with Teri at the time ... but it sounds like she didn't feel the same way.

Britney Spears is NOT singing about her pregnancy with Justin Timberlake or her abortion in the hit song "Everytime" ... so says the woman who wrote the song with Britney.

Songwriter Annet Artani tells TMZ … she worked with Britney on the song back in the day, and while Britney contributed, it was about their respective breakups ... and mostly Annet's.

Annet says when she was writing the lyrics she was coming off a fresh split from Britney's musical director ... and the song is mostly about Annet's relationship ... not Britney's unborn child, as some fans now suspect in the wake of Britney's recent bombshell.

Britney had been broken up with Justin for about 9 months at the time, and the song came out after he released "Cry Me a River" ... but Annet says Britney never mentioned a baby or an abortion during the writing process, and neither topic served as inspiration for the track.

Annet tells us she and Britney would sit at the piano together working on the song ... they were friends and were sharing pain, and they were both sad and would play piano together.

As we reported ... the famous lyric that has fans thinking Britney was secretly referencing her abortion is "I guess I need you, baby."

But, Annet says the tagline was just something she wrote about her own experiences with her relationship. To be even clearer, she says it's NOT a reference to an unborn baby.

As for the song's chorus ... "And every time I see you in my dreams I see your face, you're haunting me. I guess I need you, baby" ... Annet says Britney came up with "haunting," though she says they were simply trying to find words with rhymes.

Annet's kind of leaving the door open to the new Britney fan theory though ... she says she was not involved in the music video or the imagery of a woman giving birth, and that was all Britney, so it's possible that visual correlates to the decision she and Justin made to terminate her pregnancy.

Britney Spears NO está cantando sobre su embarazo con Justin Timberlake o su aborto en la exitosa canción "Everytime", así lo dice la mujer que escribió la canción con Britney.

La compositora Annet Artani le dice a TMZ que trabajó con Britney en la canción y nos puede afirmar que se trataba de sus respectivas rupturas... sobre todo la de Annet.

Annet dice que cuando estaba escribiendo la letra que estaba terminando una relación con el director musical de Britney, y la canción es acerca de la relación de Annet y no sobre el hijo por nacer de Britney, como algunos fans sospechaban a raíz de la reciente polémica de Britney.

Britney había roto con Justin por cerca de nueve meses en ese momento, y la canción salió después de que él lanzó "Cry Me a River", pero Annet dice que Britney nunca mencionó un bebé o un aborto durante el proceso de escritura y ninguno de los temas sirvió de inspiración para la pista.

Annet nos dice que ella y Britney se sentaban al piano juntas a trabajar en la canción. Eran amigas y estaban compartiendo el mismo tipo de dolor. Estaban tristes y tocaban el piano juntas.

Como informamos, la famosa letra que tiene a los fans pensando que Britney se refería en secreto a su aborto es "I guess I need you, baby".

Annet dice que el lema era algo que escribió sobre sus propias experiencias con su relación. Para ser aún más clara, dice que NO es una referencia a un bebé no nacido.

En cuanto al estribillo de la canción: "Y cada vez que te veo en mis sueños veo tu cara, me persigues. I guess I need you, baby"... Annet dice que a Britney se le ocurrió "haunting", aunque ella dice que simplemente estaban tratando de encontrar palabras que rimaran.

Annet es una especie de dejar la puerta abierta a la nueva teoría fan de Britney sin embargo ella dice que no estaba involucrado en el video musical o las imágenes de una mujer dando a luz, y que era todo Britney, por lo que es posible que visual se correlaciona con la decisión que ella y Justin hizo para interrumpir su embarazo.
