Paris Hilton is continuing to protect her son, Phoenix, after social media trolls posted a bunch of rude comments about the infant's head size ... and she says the remarks hurt more "than words can describe."

She reacted to the wave of hate Tuesday on X, admitting that living in the spotlight comes with folks commenting left and right, before adding ... "but targeting my child, or anyone else’s for that matter, is unacceptable."

She says the things she's seen about her baby boy hurt her heart, saying she's "worked hard to cultivate an environment that is all about love, respect, and acceptance, and I expect the same in return."

Paris even points out the corner she's backed into ... "If I don't post my baby, people assume I'm not a great mother and if I do post him, there are some people who are cruel and hateful 😢."

Regardless of the haters, Paris says she's a "proud working mom" and has always dreamt of being a mother -- calling Phoenix 'the biggest blessing of my life."

Paris Hilton sigue protegiendo a su hijo Phoenix después de que los trolls de las redes sociales publicaran un montón de comentarios groseros sobre el tamaño de su cabeza, y dice que los comentarios le duelen más "de lo que las palabras pueden describir".

Paris reaccionó a la ola de odio el martes en X, admitiendo que sabe que vivir en el centro de atención implica que las personas comenten a diestra y siniestra, "pero apuntar a mi hijo, o al de cualquier otra persona, es inaceptable", añadió a continuación.

Dice que las cosas que ha visto sobre su bebé le duelen en el alma, asegurando que ha "trabajado duro para cultivar un ambiente que solo está rodeado de amor, respeto y aceptación" y espera lo mismo a cambio.

Paris incluso señala la incómoda situación en la que está arrinconada. "Si no publico a mi bebé, la gente asume que no soy una buena madre y si lo publico, hay algunas personas que son crueles y odiosas 😢".

Independientemente de los odiosos, Paris dice que es una "madre trabajadora orgullosa" y siempre ha soñado con ser madre, llamando a Phoenix "la mayor bendición de su vida".

Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic will not happen at UFC 295 next month -- Dana White just announced the heavyweight champion suffered a torn pectoral tendon while training earlier this week ... sidelining him for the next eight months.

"What's up, everybody? Here we are again," Dana said in a social media video late Tuesday night. "Jon Jones was training last night, got injured. He was wrestling and he tore the tendon that connects your pec to the bone off the bone."

"Eight months, gonna need surgery. He's out."

White shared footage of the moment Jones went down ... showing him wincing in pain as he reached for his chest.

The UFC honcho said fans can now tune in to see Sergei Pavlovich take on Tom Aspinall for the interim heavyweight title at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 11 ... which will be the co-main event alongside the Jiri Prochazka vs. Alex Pereira bout.

Despite the bumming news about Jones vs. Miocic, White is clearly fired up about the new fight ... as No. 2-ranked Pavlovich is 18-1 with 15 knockouts, and No. 4 Aspinall is 13-3 with 10 K.O. and three submissions -- meaning he's never let any of his wins go to the judges.

"A combined 25 knockouts, 26 first-round finishes -- No. 2 vs. No. 4 in the heavyweight division for the interim heavyweight title."

Britney Spears unveils loads of crazy stories in her new memoir, many of which went down in the mid-2000s ... a tumultuous time when she lived in this Bev Hills mansion that became infamous the night she was committed.

Her spacious former pad is located in a gated community called The Summit, with the roughly 7,500-square-foot home even being considered "paparazzi-proof" because of how exclusive it is.

It's got some sweet perks like a home theater, chef's kitchen, saltwater swimming pool, jacuzzi and tons of backyard space.

Britney moved into the bougie pad in 2007 -- not long after filing for divorce from her ex, Kevin Federline -- and she was still living here when she melted down in early 2008 and was placed on a mental health hold.

You'll recall, an ambulance raced to the home and paramedics strapped Britney to a stretcher ... removing her as photographers swarmed, and TV helicopters hovered above to get shots.

Brit was taken to Cedars-Sinai for treatment.

As we reported, she first listed the home in 2008 with Tomer Fridman of Compass ... and ended up selling the place in 2012 for $4,253,000 -- more than $1 million above the original asking price. We were told she got multiple offers for the home, too.

Sources added she was getting out of there and moving in with her then-fiance, Jason Trawick.

Britney's mansion sold again in 2021 -- this time by "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" stars Josh and Matt Altman -- when it went for $6.1M.

The off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who tried taking down a sister airline's plane is blaming the incident on a nervous breakdown and a serious lack of shut-eye, and also admits to taking shrooms.

Joseph D. Emerson admitted to law enforcement he tried shutting off the plane's engines during a "nervous breakdown" in the cockpit, adding he felt dehydrated and tired and had not slept in 40 hours.

According to the criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, Emerson told investigators, "I didn't feel okay. It seemed like the pilots weren't paying attention to what was going on. They didn't ... it didn't seem right."

Emerson copped to pulling both emergency shut-off handles, explaining ... "I thought I was dreaming and I just wanna wake up."

Police say Emerson told them he wasn't taking any medication, but said he had been depressed for about six months ... and then the conversation turned to psychedelic mushrooms.

The complaint says Emerson told investigators about his use of magic mushrooms, saying it was his first time taking shrooms. The complaint does not make it clear when or how many mushrooms Emerson ingested, but there's an insinuation he might have been on mushrooms during the flight.

As we reported, Emerson was arrested and booked on 83 accounts of attempted murder for the incident on a flight from Washington to San Francisco.

Now, the feds are charging him with inference with flight crew members and attendants ... a charge carrying a prison sentence of up to 20 years behind bars.

Remember ... the captain and first officer subdued Emerson in the cockpit after he tried to shut off the engines mid-flight.

The pilots told cops that before Emerson reached for the handles he stated, "I'm not okay."

The complaint says after Emerson was subdued, he told a flight attendant, "You need to cuff me right now or it's going to be bad." Another flight attendant says Emerson stated, "I messed everything up" and the attendant told investigators, "he tried to kill everybody."

Mary Lou Retton has just taken a huge step in her fight to beat pneumonia ... she's been released from the ICU -- and is now at home recovering.

One of the Olympic legend's daughters, McKenna, shared the good news on her Instagram page on Monday ... thanking doctors, nurses and fans for everything they've done to get her to this point.

"We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us," McKenna wrote, "but baby steps."

Retton was first admitted into the ICU earlier this month after contracting a rare form of pneumonia ... and while initially her family was pleased with her progress, they said she suffered a "pretty scary setback" last week.

Seems, though, Retton has battled past that ... something her family is obviously overjoyed about.

"We are overwhelmed with the love and support from everyone," McKenna said. "Grateful doesn't scrape the surface of the posture of our hearts."

Mary Lou Retton acaba de dar un gran paso en su lucha por vencer a la neumonía. Fue dada de alta de la UCI y ahora se está recuperando en casa.

Una de las hijas de la leyenda olímpica, McKenna, compartió la buena noticia en su página de Instagram el lunes, agradeciendo a los médicos, enfermeras y a los fans por todo lo que han hecho para llegar a este punto.

"Todavía tenemos un largo camino de recuperación por delante", escribió McKenna, "pero estamos dando pequeños pasos".

Retton fue admitida por primera vez en la UCI a principios de este mes después de contraer una rara forma de neumonía, y aunque inicialmente su familia estaba contenta con su progreso, confirmaron que sufrió un "aterrador revés" la semana pasada.

Parece, sin embargo, que lo peor ha pasado, algo por lo que su familia está obviamente, muy contenta

"Estamos abrumados con el amor y el apoyo de todos", dijo McKenna. "Decir agradecidos no raspa ni la superficie de la postura de nuestros corazones".

Britney Spears has revealed a lot ahead of her new memoir's release -- so, just to get you ready for its Tuesday release ... here's a look at her biggest bombshells, so far.

Of course, the biggest truth dropped in "The Woman in Me" is the fact Brit had an abortion in the early 2000s while dating Justin Timberlake -- something she seems to mostly pin on him, saying JT "didn’t want to be a father" and he "wasn't happy about the pregnancy."

Britney says she regrets giving up the baby, in hindsight. She says having the abortion devastated her, at the time ... and she says Justin tried to soothe her during the process by strumming a guitar.

There are more JT claims she's making in the book ... including the allegation he cheated on her with an unnamed celebrity. Britney also acknowledges she cheated on Justin with Wade Robson, but insists it was just a kiss. However, one of Britney's writing partners tells us the Wade relationship was much more than that.

Brit also addressed other elements of her private life, including the fact she'd started having sex at 14 -- with a friend of her older brother -- and that her drug of choice in her heyday was Adderall ... which she says helped make her feel less depressed.

Speaking of doing the dirty ... Britney says she had a hot fling with Colin Farrell back in 2003, where they were banging as if they were fighting, at least that's how she puts it.

Britney also reflected on her brief acting career ... saying her starring role in "Crossroads" was fun and all, but noting she didn't like the experience of having to pretend to be someone else. In that same breath, Britney also claims she almost snagged a HUGE role.

As it turns out ... Brit had actually auditioned for the lead female role in "The Notebook," opposite Ryan Gosling, and it sounds like she was in the running for a good while. In the end, though, she lost out to Rachel McAdams -- something BS says she's happy about.

There've been countless other revelations that have leaked out thus far -- including the fact Britney says she posts so many nude photos of herself as an act of liberation ... this after being under the constraints and control of a conservatorship for so many years.

Britney has also spoken at length about that conservatorship in her book ... and one of the latest nuggets she opened up about, as it pertains to the legal apparatus, is that she only "went along" with it as a way to get back to her children -- whom she'd lost custody of in 2007.

Paris Hilton is firing back at folks online who are poking fun at the size of her baby boy's noggin ... saying there's absolutely nothing wrong with him.

Mama P shared some snaps Friday holding Phoenix ... while she got some love from her followers, she also heard from lots of trolls -- with jokes flooding the comment section about Phoenix's head.

People have taken to TikTok to point out all the rude things being said ... and Paris responded to one of the people defending her, writing, " 🥺😢There are some sick people in this world.☹️My angel is perfectly healthy."

She went on to say, "And yes, of course he has been to a doctor, he just has a large brain."

As we reported, Paris announced at the beginning of the year she had Phoenix with her husband, Carter Reum ... and she's been sharing some pretty adorable shots of her new bundle of joy while navigating motherhood for the first time.

Britney Spears ha revelado muchas cosas antes del lanzamiento de su nuevo libro de memorias, así que solo para prepararte para su lanzamiento (el martes), le echamos un vistazo a sus mayores polémicas hasta el momento.

Por supuesto, la mayor verdad que se deja caer en "The Woman in Me" es el hecho de que Brit tuvo un aborto a principios de 2000 mientras salía con Justin Timberlake. Ella parece culparlo sobre todo a él, diciendo que Justin: "no quería ser padre" y que "no estaba contento con el embarazo".

Britney dice que se arrepiente de haber renunciado al bebé. Dice que tener el aborto la devastó en su momento y que Justin trató de calmarla durante el proceso tocando la guitarra.

En el libro, Britney también acusa a Timberlake de engañarla con una celebridad sin nombre. Britney también reconoce que engañó a Justin con Wade Robson, pero insiste en que solo fue un beso. Sin embargo, uno de los compañeros de escritura de Britney nos dice que la relación Wade era mucho más que eso.

Britney también abordó otros aspectos de su vida privada, incluyendo el hecho de que había comenzado a tener relaciones sexuales a los 14 con un amigo de su hermano mayor y que su droga de elección en su apogeo fue Adderall, la cual dice que le ayudó a hacer que se sienta menos deprimida.

Hablando de sexo, Britney dice que tuvo una aventura con Colin Farrell en 2003, y las cosas fueron bastante rudas y sucias, al menos eso es lo que ella dice.

Britney también reflexionó sobre su breve carrera como actriz, diciendo que su papel protagonista en "Crossroads" fue divertido y todo, pero que no le gustaba la experiencia de tener que fingir ser otra persona. En ese mismo aliento, Britney también afirma que casi consiguió un papel ENORME.

Resulta que Britney había hecho una audición para el papel principal femenino en "The Notebook", junto a Ryan Gosling, y parece que fue la primera opsión durante un tiempo. Sin embargo, perdió ante Rachel McAdams, algo con lo que Britney dice estar feliz.

Ha habido un sinnúmero de otras revelaciones que se han filtrado hasta ahora, incluyendo el hecho de que Britney dice que publica tantas fotos de ella desnuda como un acto de liberación, esto después de estar bajo las limitaciones y el control de una tutela durante tantos años.

Britney también ha hablado largo y tendido sobre la tutela en su libro y una de las últimas pepitas que soltó sobre el proceso legal es que ella sólo "siguió adelante" como una manera de volver a sus hijos, de quienes había perdido la custodia en 2007.

Ha habido mucho más que se ha expuesto, pero vamos a obtener la historia completa de la propia Britney en unas 24 horas. "The Woman in Me" estará a la venta a partir del martes.

Paris Hilton le está respondiendo otra vez a la gente que se burlan del tamaño de la cabeza de su bebé, diciendo que no hay absolutamente nada malo con él.

Paris compartió algunas fotos el viernes sosteniendo a Phoenix. Hubo mucho amor de parte de sus seguidores, pero también hubo trolls haciendo bromas acerca de la cabeza de Phoenix.

La gente ha estado usando TikTok para señalar todas las cosas groseras que se dicen y Paris respondió a una de las personas que la defienden, escribiendo: "🥺😢Hay algunas personas enfermas en este mundo.☹️ Mi ángel está perfectamente sano".

Ella continuó diciendo: "Y sí, por supuesto que ha ido al médico, solo tiene un cerebro grande".

Como informamos, París anunció a principios de año que tuvo a Phoenix con su marido, Carter Reum y ella ha estado compartiendo algunas fotos bastante adorables de su nueva alegría mientras vive la maternidad por primera vez.

Georgetown women's basketball head coach Tasha Butts has tragically died following a battle with breast cancer, the school announced Monday.

She was just 41 years old.

In revealing the heartbreaking news, school president John J. DeGioia called her death "a devastating loss."

"She was extraordinary," DeGioia said. "Tasha was a person of character, determination, vision, and kindness. She will be deeply missed by our community and by so many people around the country who have been inspired by her life."

Butts starred on the court at Tennessee from 2000 to 2004 -- playing forward for Pat Summit ... before she was picked by the Minnesota Lynx in the second round of the 2004 WNBA Draft.

She eventually got into coaching following her one season in the league, beginning as an assistant with Duquesne in 2007. She later coached for LSU and UCLA, before landing a promotion to the associate head coach role at Georgia Tech in 2021.

She found a ton of success as the leader of the Yellow Jackets, this despite being diagnosed with breast cancer during the 2021 season ... and in April, she was named Georgetown's head coach.

She stepped away from the team last month, however, to continue her fight with cancer.

"When I met Tasha, I knew she was a winner on the court, and an incredible person whose drive, passion and determination was second to none," Georgetown AD Lee Reed said. "She exhibited these qualities both as a leader and in her fight against breast cancer. This is a difficult time for the entire Georgetown community, and we will come together to honor her memory."

The school announced Darnell Haney will be the interim head coach for this upcoming season. It also said Monday it and the Big East will continue to raise funds and breast cancer awareness through her "Tasha Tough" initiative.

Madonna apparently still isn't 100% after her lengthy, life-threatening hospitalization -- but despite this, she's still powering through on the road ... and her fans are worried.

The singer made the troubling revelation over the weekend while performing in Belgium, where she continues on her mountain of a tour. She's got a dozen more stops across 15 different countries -- that's the plan, anyway -- but, in her own words, the Material Girl's simply not feeling great.

Madonna said this in the context of discussing her health scare earlier this year -- which saw her in the ICU for a time, fighting for her life after a bacterial infection -- something she says she's thankful to have survived ... while in the same breath, reminiscing on her late mother.

Madonna says it's a miracle she came out on the other side of that ordeal, but folks online focused on her words about how she's feeling right now .. which sounds iffy, at best.

Strangely enough, Madonna was drinking onstage out of what looked like a beer bottle ... and like we said, she finished the show -- not to mention a string of London performances she did last week to kick off this international tour. So, on its face, she appears okay enough to get through it.

Still, people are weighing in, expressing their collective hope she's getting the proper health care she needs -- and more importantly, sound medical advice.

The sentiment from her fans here is ... don't force yourself to do this if you're struggling, 'cause we'll love you anyway. Remember, this tour was postponed for a good long while this summer as Madonna battled her infection, and she seemed set on seeing it through.

The adults in the room when a 3-year-old shot herself with an unattended gun tried covering up the bloody incident ... at least according to the woman who called 911.

In the dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ, the caller says she's not at the home but has been informed about the shooting and is rushing over to help. She's not sure if anyone in the home called 911, and the dispatcher can't seem to find any prior call about the shooting.

The caller begs for an ambulance to rush over to the home, adding ..."And, they are trying to hide it. That's why they didn't call fire rescue. I need an officer over there. I need fire rescue over there."

She also tells the dispatcher the people in the home are trying to take the kiddo to the hospital themselves and "they just let her shoot herself in the hand."

As we reported ... home surveillance video shows the young girl, Serenity, playing in the living room at her grandma's Florida home, jumping onto a couch where a loaded firearm is sitting in plain view.

Serenity grabs the pistol and peers over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is watching a football game on a laptop ... and then the gun goes off. The bullet strikes her hand, and she cries out in pain as chaos ensues.

The caller is on the phone with 911 as she races to the house, and she's still on the line when she pulls up ... and you hear her yelling at someone, "Why didn't they call fire rescue?!?"

Miami-Dade County police say family members took Serenity to a hospital ... and Young was arrested and charged with child neglect.

It's unclear if the caller is the girl's mother, Warnicia Williams, who told Local 10 News she wants Young held accountable.

Los adultos en la habitación cuando una niña de TRES años se disparó con una pistola desatendida trataron de encubrir el sangriento incidente, al menos según la mujer que llamó al 911.

En el audio, obtenido por TMZ, la persona que llama dice que ella no está en la casa, pero que ha sido informada sobre el tiroteo y se apresura a ayudar. Ella no está segura de si alguien en la casa llamó al 911, y el despachador no puede encontrar ninguna llamada anterior sobre el tiroteo.

La persona que llama pide una ambulancia y dice: "Están tratando de ocultarlo. Por eso no llamaron a los bomberos. Necesito un oficial allí. Necesito a los bomberos".

Ella también le dice al despachador que están tratando de llevar a la niña al hospital ellos mismos y "que acaban de dejar que se dispare en la mano".

Como informamos, el video de vigilancia de la casa muestra a la niña, Serenity, jugando en la sala de estar en la casa de su abuela en Florida, saltando sobre un sofá donde hay un arma de fuego cargada a la vista.

Serenity coge la pistola y mira a un pariente, Orlando Young, que está viendo un partido de fútbol en un ordenador portátil y entonces el arma se dispara. La bala impacta en su mano y ella grita de dolor mientras se desata el caos.

La persona que llama se mantiene en el teléfono con el 911 mientras corre a la casa, y todavía está en la línea cuando se detiene y se oye gritar a alguien, "¡¿Por qué no llamaron a los bomberos!?"

La policía del condado de Miami dice que miembros de la familia llevaron a Serenity a un hospital y que Young fue arrestado y acusado de negligencia infantil.

No está claro si la persona que llamó es la madre de la niña, Warnicia Williams, quien dijo a Local 10 News que quiere que Young rinda cuentas.

American Airlines podría estar en aprieros, al igual que el pasajero que se quemó cuando un asistente de vuelo derramó una taza caliente sobre su brazo.

George Latorre dice que estaba ocupándose de sus asuntos en un vuelo de Vietnam a Nueva York a principios de este mes cuando pidió una taza de café. Según la demanda, la azafata cometió todo tipo de negligencias al derramar lo que él afirma que era "café hirviendo" sobre su brazo izquierdo.

Latorre afirma que sufrió quemaduras de segundo grado en la parte superior del brazo izquierdo, así como ampollas, descamación y hemorragias. Él dice que fue tan grave que hasta dañó su tatuaje.

Latorre afirma que la demanda por "deformidad estética y cicatrices" puede ser permanente, y todavía está sufriendo "dolor, sufrimiento extremo, daño emocional, angustia mental y angustia, entre otras cosas.

El abogado de Latorre, David Jaroslawicz, le informa a TMZ que después del derrame, Latorre pidió un asiento más cómodo, incluso ofreciendo pagar por un mejor lugar, pero se le negó y se quedó donde estaba el resto del vuelo.

Jaroslawicz dice que su cliente se dirigió a un médico después de aterrizar en Nueva York y le dijeron que la quemadura era tan grave que necesitaba ver a un cirujano especializado en quemaduras.
