Charlamagne Tha God isn't a fan of Colin Kaepernick's open letter to the New York Jets ... saying it makes it seem like the ex-NFL QB is begging for a job at this point.

CTG had heavy critiques for Colin on Wednesday's Breakfast Club broadcast ... it's been 7 years since he was ousted from the league in a clear blackball maneuver, and CTG thinks Colin has allowed the low moments to define his story and identity.

ICYMI, J. Cole posted the letter Tuesday, revealing the 35-year-old was looking for a spot on the Jets' roster in the aftermath of Aaron Rodgers' season-ending injury during Week 1.

CTG not only thinks Colin's letter should've never been published, he thinks Cole's inclusion was incredibly "wack" and thinks Colin should speak out on his own.

The comparison to racism in America vs. NFL was also made, which CTG rejected -- calling U.S. a system that indoctrinates people into racism as opposed to Colin throwing a flag on the league, leaving everyone -- even callers -- split on the issue.

Bruce Springsteen ha suspendido todos sus conciertos para el resto del año mientras continúa recuperándose de su reciente problema de salud.

Springsteen & the E Street Band emitió un comunicado el miércoles, diciendo que el cantante "ha seguido recuperándose de manera constante de la enfermedad de úlcera péptica en las últimas semanas y continuará el tratamiento durante el resto del año siguiendo el consejo del doctor".

El grupo dice que todas las fechas restantes de 2023 tendrán que ser postergadas hasta el próximo año "por precaución" y las entradas pospuestas serán anunciadas durante la semana. Aquellos que no puedan venir al nuevo espectáculo podrán obtener un reembolso.

El propio Bruce añadió: "Gracias a todos mis amigos y fans por los buenos deseos, ánimos y apoyo. Estoy recuperándome y no puedo esperar a verlos a todos el año que viene".

Como informamos, "El jefe" anunció a principios de este mes que iba a tener que poner en pausa todos los conciertos de septiembre como consecuencia de los tratamientos que ha estado recibiendo para los síntomas de su enfermedad.

Bruce Springsteen has pulled the plug on all concerts for the rest of the year while he continues to recover from his recent health issue.

Springsteen & the E Street Band put out a statement Wednesday, saying the singer "has continued to recover steadily from peptic ulcer disease over the past few weeks and will continue treatment through the rest of the year on doctor's advice."

The group says all remaining 2023 dates will have to be pushed to next year, "out of an abundance of caution" ... with the postponed dates being announced sometime next week. Those unable to come to the new show will be able to get a refund.

Bruce himself added, "Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I'm on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year."

As we reported, The Boss announced earlier this month that he was going to have to push pause on all September shows as a result of the treatments he's been getting for symptoms of his disease.

Jamie Foxx is fully back to living the good life after his health scare ... taking in the sights, sounds and some good grub on a hot date with his girlfriend in Mexico.

Check out the pic obtained by TMZ of the Oscar-winning actor holding hands with Alyce Huckstepp late Sunday afternoon as they enter a restaurant at Nobu Los Cabos Hotel in Cabos San Lucas.

We're told staff escorted the pair to a table for an early dinner on a patio outside where they could enjoy the stunning ocean views of the Baja Peninsula. Eyewitnesses tell us they seemed "very happy" and looked smitten as they laughed and flirted with plenty of affection.

Our sources say they were definitely a couple and, while Jamie hasn't confirmed it yet, there have been plenty of sightings of them making out and having dinner as of late with friends in Los Angeles.

As you know, Jamie has been on the road to recovery ever since he suffered a medical emergency that landed him in the hospital back in April. He's never disclosed exactly what happened to lead to his hospitalization, but we know he was working in ATL when it happened.

Britney Spears no solo representa un grave peligro para sí misma bailando con cuchillos afilados, sino que también para sus pequeños perros, según piensan sus seguidores, quienes creen que estos deberían ser rescatados.

Britney ha hecho que las personas comenten en Internet, después de poner su fascinación por los cuchillos en plena exhibición el lunes por la noche en un bizarro video donde aparece bailando, pinchando e incluso chocando los cuchillos entre sí.

A lo largo del video, se puede ver a los tres perros de Britney observando asustados, mientras ella da vueltas con los cuchillos afilados. De hecho, cuando Britney los choca, los perros corren a esconderse.

Los fans y críticos de Britney opinaron sobre los perritos en las redes sociales, escribiendo: "Esos pobres perros simplemente corrieron asustados necesitan ser rescatados y ella necesita AYUDA". Otro escribe: "¡¡¡Alguien por favor salve a estos cachorros!!!" y: "Ahora me preocupa que ella tenga perros y mucho menos cualquier animal después de este video".

Debemos señalar que el pie de foto original de Britney bailando decía: "Empecé a jugar en la cocina con cuchillos hoy". Aunque más tarde dijo que eran accesorios falsos de Halloween. Sin embargo, por el sonido, está bastante claro que eran de verdad.

Un fan lo señaló: "Los cuchillos hacían un ruido metálico. Son claramente reales. Lo suficientemente reales como para caer sobre uno de los pobres cachorros y matarlo".

Britney podría haber confirmado los temores de que estos eran reales, con el video que publicó el martes donde aparece con un corte en la pierna y un vendaje en el brazo.

Britney Spears not only poses a serious danger to herself by dancing around with sharp knives, but onlookers believe her tiny dogs are also at risk ... and should be taken away.

Britney's got the internet talking after putting her fascination with knives on full display Monday night in a bizarre video where she danced with, jabbed and even clanged knives together.

Throughout the video, you can see 3 of Britney's dogs looking on in fear as she twirls around with the sharp tools. In fact, when Britney bangs the knives together, the dogs run for cover.

Britney fans and critics sounded off about the pooches on social media, writing, "Those poor dogs just ran scared they need to be rescued and she needs HELP." Another writes, "Someone please save this puppies!!" and, "I'm now concerned about her having dogs let alone any animals after this video."

We should note, Britney's original caption with the dancing video read, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today," she later added to say they were fake Halloween props. However, it's pretty clear to tell from the sound, the knives are real.

One fan pointed this out, saying, "The knives made a clanking noises. They're clearly real. Real enough to fall on and kill one of those poor worried pups."

Britney may have confirmed her fans fears that the knives were real, posting a video of herself Tuesday where she appeared to have a cut on her leg and bandage on her arm.

We contacted Ventura County Animal Services who told us they hadn't yet received any complaints about Britney's conduct. However, the rep added, "We reviewed the video, and while the dogs appeared to be startled by the clinking of the knives, we didn’t feel they were in a situation where an officer needed to be dispatched."

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

Should Britney Spears' dogs be taken away from her in light of the knife video? Vote below.

Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to the general manager of the NY Jets days after Aaron Rodgers went down with a serious injury during MNF ... asking the organization to consider signing him to their practice squad.

News of the correspondence was actually broken by J. Cole ... who posted the typed note, sent to Joe Douglas, to his X account on Tuesday.

Previously, there were reports that Kap expressed interest in joining the squad ... but now we're looking at the entire letter.

"I'm writing, of course, in response to the unfortunate loss of Aaron Rodgers. I know the aspirations this season were, and still are, to win a championship, and so that Hall of Fame sized hole will need to be filled as best as possible to keep the team on a Super Bowl track," 35-year-old Kaepernick opened the letter.

But, if you thought he was seeking the starting gig from the jump, as barren as the Jets QB room currently is, you're mistaken.

Colin explained ... "As much as I would love the opportunity to fill that [starting] spot, I'm writing you in hopes that you can imagine a much different approach involving me; I would be honored and extremely grateful for the opportunity to come in and lead the practice squad."

"I would do this with the sole mission of getting your defense ready each week."

FYI, NFL teams all have "practice squads" ... consisting of 16 players who, you guessed it, practice with the team during the week, but do not dress for games.

It's a lot of sacrifice for little money or glory ... especially for a guy who was a star and even started a Super Bowl -- like Kap.

Kaepernick went on to say, if things didn't work with Zach Wilson (and let's be honest, it ain't working), he could be a backup plan (no pun intended) for the team.

"I believe a confident Zach Wilson has the tools to do this. However, in the event that this is not the case, I would love to offer you a risk-free contingency plan."

Despite not playing in the NFL since 2016 for the San Francisco 49ers, Colin believes he's still a top-tier signal caller.

"I am sure of my ability to provide you with an elite QB option if, God forbid, QB1 goes down."

Despite the long layoff, CK's adamant he's never stopped training, and is raring and ready to go.

"Unlike many of the veteran QB's that have been named in the media, I've never retired or stopped training."

Despite the letter, the Jets have obviously not signed Kap up to this point.

Britney Spears may have cut herself when playing with knives ... now sporting a bandage and what appears to be a gash on her thigh and lower back.

Britney just posted the video, wearing the same outfit she was in when she spun around, jabbed and clanged together two butcher knives ... only this time she's got the new apparent injuries.

Britney doesn't explain why she's got the white bandage or what caused the cut on her upper thigh or lower back, but they're all new injuries since her first knife video Monday night.

As we told you ... Britney's got a fascination with knives. In fact, when she was taken off her conservatorship there were recommendations given in order to make sure she was safe. One of the most important recommendations was to keep knives away from Britney.

Our sources say she keeps the sharp tools throughout her house -- including inside her bedroom -- as a form of protection out of fear she'll be re-institutionalized.

Of course, Britney claimed the knives in Monday's video were fake, but only after she got a ton of heat for posting the video online. They also sounded VERY real when she clanged them together.

Britney Spears podría haberse cortado mientras jugaba con cuchillos, pues ahora luce un vendaje y lo que parece ser un corte en el muslo y la espalda baja.

Britney acaba de publicar el video, vistiendo el mismo atuendo que llevaba cuando giró y chocó sus dos cuchillos en un baile. Solo que esta vez tiene dos aparentes lesiones.

Britney no explica por qué lleva el vendaje ni lo que causó el corte en la parte superior de su muslo y espalda baja, pero todas las lesiones son nuevas desde que compartió su primer video con cuchillos el lunes por la noche.

Como les contamos, Britney tiene una fascinación por los cuchillos. De hecho, cuando le quitaron la tutela hubo recomendaciones para que estuviera segura y una de las más importantes era que había que mantener los cuchillos lejos de Britney.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que ella los mantiene afilados por toda su casa, incluyendo dentro de su dormitorio, como una forma de protegerse ante el temor de volver a ser re-institucionalizada.

El Presidente Biden tiene un mordedor en sus manos, su perro, Comandante, quien ha atacado de nuevo, posiblemente a la 11 ª víctima.

Se informa que Comandante mordió a otro agente del Servicio Secreto el lunes. Esto, de acuerdo con un portavoz de la agencia, quienes confirmaron que uno de sus chicos había sido mordido alrededor de las 8 PM y que fue atendido por personal médico.

Las circunstancias en que ocurrió la mordedura y el alcance de las lesiones del agente del Servicio Secreto aún no han sido revelados, pero de todos modos, ha demostrado ser una tendencia preocupante este año.

Recordemos que en julio se supo que Comandante llevaba cuatro meses atacando a mordiscos a varios agentes del Servicio Secreto con heridas de diversa consideración. El número que habíamos oído en ese momento era de 7, pero algunos informes lo elevaban a 10.

El Secretario de Prensa de la Casa Blanca dijo que el perro estaba estresado por toda la conmoción y que la gente estaba corriendo de un lado a otro en la zona de residencia de la Casa Blanca y otras áreas también.

Cuando esto salió a la luz en el verano, la Casa Blanca dijo que iban a tener que someter a Comandante a más formación, y que también habían tallado zonas designadas en el exterior y establecido tiempos en los terrenos para que él pueda vagar y estirar sus piernas.

No había ninguna indicación de que Comandante terminaría como Mayor, otro pastor alemán de Biden que también se había metido en problemas por morder.

President Biden has a biter on his hands ... his dog, Commander, has struck yet again ... possibly the 11th victim.

Commander is reported to have chomped down on another Secret Service agent Monday ... this according to a spokesperson for the agency. They confirmed that one of their guys had been bitten around 8 PM and that he was treated by medical personnel.

The exact circumstances of what led up to the biting and the extent of the SS agent's injuries haven't been disclosed -- but regardless ... it's proven to be a troubling trend this year.

Remember, it was revealed in July that Commander apparently went on a 4-month biting spree ... attacking several different Secret Service agents with varying degrees of wounds. The number we'd heard at the time was 7 ... but some reports had it as high as 10.

The White House Press Secretary said the dog was stressed out by all the commotion and people darting back and forth in the residence area of The White House and other areas as well.

When this came to light in the summer, the White House said they were going to have Commander undergo more training/leashing ... and that they'd also carve out designated areas and times on the grounds for Commander to roam and stretch his legs.

There was no indication that Commander would get the boot like his older brother, Major ... another German Shepherd of Biden's that had also run into biting trouble.

Baseball Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson -- one of the greatest third basemen in MLB history -- has passed away, the Baltimore Orioles announced Tuesday.

He was 86 years old.

The O's released a statement on the tragic news ... saying, "We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson. An integral part of our Orioles Family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on our club, our community, and the sport of baseball."

Robinson -- who earned the nicknames "Mr. Hoover" and "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" as a result of his defensive playmaking abilities -- spent his entire career in Baltimore from 1955-1977 ... winning the World Series in 1966 and 1970, and being named the Most Valuable Player during his second championship.

Robinson had stellar longevity -- he was an 18-time All-Star and 16-time Gold Glove winner and won the 1964 MVP.

While he turned heads on the field, he was also a force in the batter's box -- recording 2,848 hits, 268 homers and 1,357 RBI.

Robinson was a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame -- he was inducted in his first year of eligibility in 1983, which had never happened before for a third baseman.

His No. 5 jersey was retired by the organization.

The legend remained close to the franchise over the years -- the O's honored him on the 45th anniversary of his retirement in 2022 ... where he rode on the field and greeted fans before a game.

9:56 PM PT -- Britney Spears just adjusted her caption, saying, "Don't worry they are NOT real knives!!! Halloween is soon!!!" Thing is ... you hear the clanging of the knives as they come together, so they sure seem real.

Britney Spears put her years-long fascination with knives on full display ... dangerously dancing with two massive butcher knives in a bizarre new video.

Spears posted the video Monday holding the razor-sharp blades with the caption, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today" while she rubbed and even clapped the blades together while dancing.

The whole thing comes across as extremely dangerous -- as Spears clearly isn't trained to hold or handle the tools in such a manner ... at times jabbing them in the air.

While Britney claims she only started playing with the knives "today," we were first to report months ago Britney had a fascination with knives.

In fact, as her conservatorship came to an end, those responsible for her care made a list of recommendations ... one major rec being to keep knives away from her.

Multiple sources tell us Britney saw knives as a form of protection, afraid she's be re-institutionalized. We're told Britney keeps knives all around her house -- including in her bedroom -- and one source said she, "was paranoid someone was going to get her, and she needed the knives as protection."

Now, without Sam Asghari or anyone to truly make sure she's safe, the new video is extremely dangerous alarming to say the least.

LSU women's basketball head coach Kim Mulkey was forced to undergo heart surgery in June after doctors discovered she had an artery that was nearly completely blocked.

But, thankfully, she says she's now doing well.

The 61-year-old revealed the ailment was initially discovered way back in May after she had noticed some tingling in the tip of one of her fingers.

She said the problem led to her going to a doctor -- and following some testing, she told ESPN she found out she had "plaque on her carotid arteries."

Further testing showed she had a blockage in her heart -- and would need to have two stents put in to fix the issue. She held off on the surgery until after the Tigers' May visit to the White House.

"You're awake for the procedure," she said, according to ESPN. "Then they told me, 'You were 95-99% blocked in one artery.' And I said, 'Doc, why didn't I feel bad in any way?' He said, 'You're what's called an asymptomatic patient. You're the ones that can die suddenly and drive cardiologists crazy.' I asked if I was likely to have had a heart attack without the procedure, and he said, 'Yes, eventually.'"

Mulkey is now feeling good and taking medication to make sure the problem doesn't return. She's also urging people to go get checked out, even if they're feeling OK.

"The issue with my heart, it was really just luck that we found it," she said. "So I will keep telling people, 'Get yourself checked out. You have nothing to lose, and it could save your life.'"

Britney Spears alarmed a lot of people with her knife dance on Instagram, with many looking for answers as to what inspired the dangerous act, and some believe Shakira holds the key.

As we reported, Britney shared a clip of herself Monday with the caption, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today," dancing and clanking the knives together -- even jabbing them in the air.

The singer claimed the blades weren't legit, but they sure didn't sound like props based on the way they hit together.

However, Shakira recently did something pretty similar -- on national television, no less -- and folks think that's where Britney got the inspo.

In case ya missed it, the Colombian pop star gave a show-stopping performance of some of her greatest hits at the MTV VMAs earlier this month ... and at one point, she danced while both of her hands were occupied by 2 thick daggers.

It appears Shakira was paying homage to an Arabic dance, known to some as the dance of the daggers ... and people online think Britney loved what she saw, so that's why she may have tried it out for herself.

Britney's been catching some heat for her video ... and as we've reported, Britney has a fascination with knives that makes her clip a bit more concerning.

Remember, those responsible for Britney's care made a list of recommendations as her conservatorship ended -- with 1 major point being to keep knives away from her.

Sources have told us Britney sees knives as a type of protection, afraid she'd be re-institutionalized ... and we were told she keeps them all around her house, including her bedroom.

Britney Spears acaba de ajustar su pie de foto diciendo: "¡¡¡No te preocupes, NO son cuchillos de verdad!!! ¡¡¡Halloween es pronto!!!"

Britney Spears puso sus años de fascinación por los cuchillos en plena exhibición bailando peligrosamente con dos enormes cuchillos de carnicero en un nuevo y bizarro video.

Spears publicó el vídeo el lunes con el : "Empecé a jugar en la cocina con cuchillos de hoy", mientras se frota e incluso aplaudió las cuchillas juntos mientras bailaba.

Todo el asunto parece bastante peligroso. Spears claramente no está entrenada para manejar los cuchillos de la manera que pretende hacerlo.

Aunque Britney afirma que comenzó a jugar con los cuchillos "hoy", fuimos los primeros en informar hace meses que Britney tenía una fascinación por estos objetos.

De hecho, cuando su tutela terminó, los responsables de su cuidado hicieron una lista de recomendaciones en las que se incluía: "mantener cuchillos lejos de ella".

Múltiples fuentes nos dicen que Britney vio los cuchillos como una forma de protección, por temor a que sea reinstitucionalizada. Nos dicen que Britney guarda cuchillos por toda su casa (incluyendo en su dormitorio) y una fuente nos dijo que ella "estaba paranoica con la idea de que alguien fuera por ella. Necesitaba los cuchillos como protección."

El nuevo video es extremadamente alarmante por decir lo menos y nos preocupa que ya no este Sam (o cualquier persona) con ella para protegerla.
