Chuck D has joined the fight initiated by Fat Joe and many others to tackle the U.S. medical industry's hazy pricing methods ... which he says is public enemy #1 to the average American citizen.

We kid of course, but Chuck was deadly serious while talking to TMZ Hip Hop about this issue -- which he thinks is going to bite Americans in the ass the longer it goes ignored.

The legendary rapper joined Joe, The Foo Fighters, French Montana, Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Valerie June and several other music stars this week for the Power to the Patients' concert in Washington D.C. to further pressure lawmakers to pass legislation to combat the healthcare price transparency issue.

FF frontman Dave Grohl called Chuck his "hero" during their performance, noting how Chuck and Public Enemy set the tone long ago for using their platform to raise social awareness among fans.

We ask if celebrities can still sway the vote at this point in time but Chuck points out that hip hop is now 50 years old -- with rock being even older -- and both communities are well-traveled enough to speak facts. Remember, artists are voters too!!!

Chuck rallying in Washington is one of the many precursors to the 2024 election -- with all signs pointing to a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump -- two unappealing candidates from Chuck's POV.

He laughed off Trump's recent string of promos ... slangin' sneakers and shirts with his mugshot photo have caused a stir but Chuck says Americans shouldn't believe the hype, 'cause it's the same 'ol scenario.

A Mahomes is dealing with a significant injury -- but it's not the one who gets tackled by 300-pound linemen weekly -- no, it's actually Patrick's wife, Brittany, who revealed this week she's suffering from a fractured back.

The mother of two announced the diagnosis on her Instagram page on Wednesday ... appearing to say not taking care of her body properly following two pregnancies led to the ailment.

"Just your daily reminder," she wrote in an IG story, "once you have kids please take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously."

"From: a girl with a fractured back," she added.

Brittany didn't disclose any further details about the situation ... but she seems to be handling it well despite the apparent severity of things -- even joking that a vacation with her hubby and her children "will maybe make it better?"

Brittany and Patrick welcomed their first child, Sterling, into the world back in February 2021. Nearly two years later, in November 2022, she gave birth to the couple's first son, Bronze.

A group of people in India went to dinner and ended up in the hospital -- bleeding from their mouths and barfing after being served dry ice ... and being told it was mouth freshener.

This wild scene was captured on video over the weekend out in the city of Gurugram, and it shows five diners at Laforestta Cafe -- where they were collectively puking and spitting out blood all at the same time ... right in the middle of the restaurant, no less.

Local reports say a waiter came by with what the guests were told was a sugar and ice palate cleanser ... but as it turns out, it was actually dry ice -- which led to instant burning.

The effects seemed to kick in right away ... after they put the dry ice in their mouths, they reportedly started bleeding and vomiting in agonizing pain, rinsing their mouths out with water and spitting all over the floor. One guy was throwing up all of his dinner onto the floor.

The cameraman who documented all this didn't end up taking any of the dry ice himself -- he was spared, but only because he was carrying one of their kids ... so he lucked out. Unfortunately, the rest of the adults in his party did take it ... and they suffered badly.

The group was ultimately rushed to a hospital, where they spent 2 days recovering. It was a costly mistake for the restaurant -- the manager was arrested and cops are still searching for the owner, who is said to be on the run. Police are alleging this was an outright poisoning.

La prueba de la bomba nuclear que se muestra en "Oppenheimer" dejó un legado duradero de exposición a la radiación y diagnósticos de cáncer en las generaciones de personas que ayudaron a construir Los Álamos en Nuevo México, y estas mismas personas dicen que sus problemas siguen siendo ignorados por Hollywood y el Congreso.

Tina Cordova, cofundadora del Consorcio Tularosa Basin Downwinders, se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el miércoles y nos dijo por qué la primera prueba de la bomba nuclear del mundo sigue afectando a las familias en Nuevo México, décadas después de que se hiciera la detonación nuclear de Robert Oppenheimer en el desierto.

"Oppenheimer" parece estar a punto de ganar un montón de estatuillas en los premios Oscar de la Academia de este fin de semana, pero Tina dice que los cineastas excluyeron descaradamente a todas las personas que hicieron posible Los Álamos y la Prueba Trinity.

Recuerden, la prueba de la bomba nuclear en julio de 1945 se llevó a cabo en medio de tormentas eléctricas, lo que resultó en escombros tóxicos que cayeron de nuevo a la tierra producto de la lluvia posterior, contaminando el paisaje, los suministros de agua y la cadena alimentaria así como exponiendo a los residentes de Nuevo México a la radiación nociva.

Tina, que colaboró en la realización de un documental sobre la lluvia radiactiva, nos cuenta que el cáncer ha diezmado a su familia desde que estalló la bomba (vivían a solo 24 kilómetros de la explosión), y que cinco generaciones han sido diagnosticadas con todo tipo de cánceres, incluidos los de pulmón, boca, piel, cerebro y tiroides.

Dice que los cineastas dejaron este desastre fuera de la película a propósito, del mismo modo que los residentes de Nuevo México fueron dejados fuera de la Ley de Compensación por Exposición a la Radiación (RECA) en su momento, que proporcionó una compensación económica a los estadounidenses que viven cerca de los lugares de pruebas nucleares.

Cuando la gente que vivía cerca de la zona de pruebas de Trinity fue finalmente incluida en RECA y se abrieron potencialmente las puertas para recibir pagos, Tina dice que el liderazgo republicano en el Congreso cortó su financiamiento debido a preocupaciones presupuestarias.

Ahora, con "Oppenheimer" preparándose para una gran noche en los Oscar y una próxima votación del Senado sobre la reautorización y ampliación de RECA, Tina está haciendo ruido por el pueblo de Nuevo México.

Ryan García prometió que no va a seguir con sus extraños post en redes sociales y que desde ahora no hablará de nada más que no sea boxeo porque estará muy concentrado en su pelea con Devin Haney.

TMZ Sports obtuvo otra declaración de video de King Ryan el miércoles, y aunque dice que ha recuperado el acceso a su cuenta de Instagram, dice que dejará de compartir contenidos que no tengan que ver con "boxeo, deportes y su pelea".

El clip llega poco después de que García hiciera comentarios preocupantes en X, en los que afirmó exponer numerosos secretos sobre la sociedad, entre otros temas controvertidos.

García reconoce que ha compartido "algunas cosas bastante intensas" en sus redes y aunque entiende por qué lo ha hecho, dice que de ahora en adelante solo hablará estrictamente sobre su carrera, o al menos, hasta después de la pelea.

"Eso es lo único de lo que voy a hablar y estoy entrenando para esta pelea", añadió.

García agregó que tiene "muchos guerreros", incluyendo al empresario y podcaster Patrick Bet-David, quien lo está ayudando y que estará listo para el 20 de abril.

The nuclear bomb test shown in "Oppenheimer" left a lasting legacy of radiation exposure and cancer diagnosis on generations of folks who helped build Los Alamos in New Mexico ... but people there say their problems are still being ignored by Hollywood and Congress.

Tina Cordova, co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and told us why the world's first nuclear bomb test is still affecting families in New Mexico, decades after Robert Oppenheimer's nuke detonated in the desert.

"Oppenheimer" looks poised to win a bunch of Oscar statues at this weekend's Academy Awards, but Tina says filmmakers blatantly excluded all the people who made Los Alamos and the Trinity Test possible in the first place.

Remember ... the nuclear bomb test in July 1945 took place amid thunderstorms, resulting in toxic debris falling back to earth in the ensuing rain ... contaminating the landscape, water supplies and the food chain ... and exposing New Mexico residents to harmful radiation.

Tina, who helped make a doc about the fallout, tells us cancer has decimated her family ever since the bomb went off -- they lived only 15 miles from the blast -- with 5 generations being diagnosed with all sorts of cancers ... including lung, oral, skin, brain and thyroid.

She says filmmakers left this nuclear mess out of the film on purpose ... similar to how New Mexico residents were left out of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act back in the day, which provided financial compensation to Americans living near nuclear testing sites.

When folks living near the Trinity Test site were finally set to be included in RECA, potentially opening the door for payments, Tina says Republican leadership in Congress cut their funding because of budget concerns.

Now, with "Oppenheimer" gearing up for a big Oscars night and an upcoming Senate vote on reauthorizing and expanding RECA, Tina is banging the drum for the people of New Mexico.

Ryan Garcia is promising to put an end to his bizarre social media activity ... claiming he's no longer going to talk about any topics outside of boxing -- 'cause he's laser-focused on his fight with Devin Haney.

TMZ Sports obtained another video statement from King Ryan on Wednesday ... and this time around, he says he's regained access to his Instagram account, but will hold off on posting any content outside of "boxing, sports and my fight."

The clip comes shortly after Garcia made concerning comments on X ... in which he claimed to expose numerous secrets about society, among other controversial topics.

Garcia acknowledges he's shared "some pretty intense things" on his pages, and while he understands the true meaning behind it all ... he will strictly talk about his career -- at least, it seems, until after the fight.

"That's the only thing I'm gonna be talking about and I'm training for this fight," he added.

Garcia added he has "many warriors" -- including entrepreneur and podcast host Patrick Bet-David -- helping him out during camp ... and he'll be ready to go April 20.

OG "Baywatch" star Nicole Eggert says she hasn't been contacted about appearing in the upcoming reboot ... but she tells us she's open to a potential gig if producers want her.

Nicole -- who starred as Summer Quinn in the original lifeguard TV show back in the 90s -- tells TMZ … no one has reached out to her about being involved in the reimagined series, which was just recently announced, but there's a few roles she could see for herself.

While Nicole says she definitely won't be putting on the famous red bathing suit and saving lives at the beach ... she does say a small cameo or a minor role as a parent or a senior lifeguard who works behind a desk would be the best potential fit.

Unclear who will be starring as the sexy lifeguards this time -- the show is in the early stages at Fremantle and FOX -- but Nicole says she wants to see Margot Robbie in the reboot.

Another former "Baywatch" babe, Brande Roderick, tells TMZ ... she hasn't been formally contacted about being in the reboot either, though she's open to being involved and has told executive producer Michael Berk she's ready and willing to play someone's mom.

Brande says she hasn't heard about anyone from the OG cast being in the reboot ... but she's excited "Baywatch" is coming back and thinks it's cool younger generations are into the '90s now. Michael wrote scripts for the original series, and now that he's an EP on the reboot -- BR thinks there's a good chance someone from the original will make a cameo.

Whether they end up getting roles or not, Nicole and Brande both tell us the reboot is bringing the cast back in contact with one another, and they're looking forward to what this new reimagination brings. BTW, Nicole and Brande both enjoyed the 2017 "Baywatch" movie, so the OG series has been successfully rebooted ... at least as far as they're concerned.

In the meantime, Nicole says she's focused on her cancer battle and is trying to stay positive and healthy as she goes through chemotherapy treatments.

Nicole Eggert -estrella de "Guardianes de la bahía" original- dice que no ha sido contactada para aparecer en el reboot, pero nos dice que está abierta a hacerlo si los productores quieren.

Nicole -que interpretó a Summer Quinn en el programa original en los años 90- le dice a TMZ que nadie se ha puesto en contacto con ella acerca de participar en el reboot de la serie, la cual fue anunciada recientemente.

Aunque Nicole dice que definitivamente no va a ponerse el famoso traje de baño rojo y salvar vidas en la playa, dice que un pequeño cameo o un papel menor como una madre o una socorrista de alto nivel que trabaja detrás de un escritorio sería una buena opción.

No está claro quién va a protagonizar la película esta vez -el proyecto está en las primeras etapas en Freemantle y FOX- pero Nicole dice que quiere ver a Margot Robbie en ella.

Otra ex "Baywatch" -Brande Roderick- le dice a TMZ que no la han contactado para el reboot, aunque está abierta a participar y le dijo al productor ejecutivo Michael Berk que está lista y dispuesta a interpretar a la mamá de alguien.

Brande dice que no ha oído hablar de nadie del elenco original, pero está emocionada de que el show vuelva con gente nueva. Michael escribió guiones para la serie original, y ahora que él es un EP en el reboot - BR cree que hay una buena probabilidad de que alguien de la original hará un cameo.

Ya sea que terminen consiguiendo papeles o no, Nicole y Brande nos dicen que el reboot está haciendo que el elenco se ponga en contacto otra vez. Por cierto, Nicole y Brande disfrutaron de la película de 2017, por lo que la serie origial ha sido reiniciada con éxito, al menos en lo que a ellas respecta.

Mientras tanto, Nicole dice que está enfocada en su batalla contra el cáncer y está tratando de mantenerse positiva y saludable mientras pasa por los tratamientos de quimioterapia.

Kate Middleton y los miembros de la realeza pueden haber pensado que un vistazo de la Princesa después de su hospitalización echaría abajo cualquier especulación o teorías sobre su situación, pero estaban muy equivocados.

Desde que la Princesa de Gales apareció públicamente el lunes cerca de Windsor, tras ser fotografiada en un carro conducido por su madre, con gafas de sol y aparentemente tratando de pasar desapercibida, Internet ha puesto en marcha una nueva ola de memes, chistes y teorías de conspirativas.

El hecho es que la gente vio estas fotos, y muchos de ellos simplemente no estuvieron muy convencidos de que fuera realmente la Princesa, a pesar de que sabemos que es un hecho. Y, Twitter se ha convertido en un campo de batalla sobre el asunto.

Conéctate y verás exactamente de lo que estamos hablando: muchos de estos mensajes claramente son en tono de broma, pero es lamentable que otros continúen especulando de una situación grave.

Algunos están simplemente lanzando otros ejemplos de estrellas que han sido fotografiadas desde el interior de sus carros en los últimos años y los están comparando con estas fotos de Kate. Algunos de los nombres que están siendo yuxtapuestos son el de Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, solo por nombrar unos pocos.

Sin embargo, algunos se están tomando esto un poco más en serio, desmenuzando las fotos que salieron a la luz ayer y entrando en los detalles de su cara, incluyendo lunares, espinillas, etc.

Estas personas están sugiriendo que la mujer fotografiada el lunes no era realmente Kate, señalando que sus rasgos no son los de la persona que estaba en el coche (de nuevo, era obviamente ella).

Algunos piensan que se trataría de su hermana Pippa, otros han dicho que se trata de una persona completamente diferente.

Como hemos dicho, un montón de payasadas y para ser honestos, solo una muestra de la ridiculez de Internet, que es lo que ha estado haciendo incluso antes de este avistamiento.

El Palacio ha dicho que Kate sigue recuperándose de su cirugía abdominal en enero y el martes comentaron que en realidad no reanudaría sus funciones hasta junio.

Kate Middleton and the Royals might've thought a glimpse of her post-hospitalization would tamper down any speculation or theories about her ... but they were dead wrong.

Ever since the Princess of Wales surfaced publicly Monday near Windsor -- being photographed in a car driven by her mother, wearing sunglasses and seemingly trying to lay low -- the internet has kicked off a fresh round of jokes, memes and conspiracy theories.

Fact is ... people saw these pics, and a lot of them just aren't convinced it's really her -- even though we know for a fact it is. And yet -- Twitter's having a field day regardless.

Hop online and you'll see exactly what we're talking about -- a lot of these posts are clearly done in jest and all in good fun ... but it's unfortunate they're making light of a serious sitch.

Some are simply throwing out other examples of stars pap'd from the inside of their cars over the years and comparing those to Kate's new shots. Some of the names that are being juxtaposed to KM ... Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, just to name a few.

However, some are taking this a little more seriously ... picking apart the pictures that surfaced yesterday and getting into the details of her face, including moles/dimples, etc.

These folks are suggesting the woman photographed Monday really isn't Kate ... pointing out that specific features of hers aren't there for whoever was in the car (again, it was obviously her).

Some think they see her sister, Pippa, here ... some see a totally different person entirely.

Like we said ... it's all a bunch of nonsense and tomfoolery -- and, TBH, it's just the Internet being ridiculous ... which is what it was already doing even before this latest sighting.

The Palace has said Kate is continuing to recover from her abdominal surgery in January -- and word just came down Tuesday that she won't actually resume her duties until June.

El hijo de Travis Barker, Landon, está hablando abiertamente sobre su vida con el síndrome de Tourette, algo que nadie parecía saber hasta ahora.

El influencer de 20 años compartió su viaje este lunes, después de que un fan en TikTok especulara que podría tener el trastorno. En el video que compartimos más arriba, Landon detalló que tiene un leve caso de Tourette, que fue diagnosticado cuando era un niño.

Landon recordó cuando experimentó el síndrome de Tourette por primera vez en preescolar, después de que una profesora lo acusara de poner los ojos en blanco en frente de ella. El hijo de Travis, que comparte con Shanna Moakler, explicó que la mirada en blanco fue finalmente diagnosticada como un tic, un síntoma de la condición neurológica.

Luego describió otros tics, que incluyen sacudir la cabeza de un lado para otro y mover la mandíbula repetidamente, cosas que hace cuando está nervioso o ansioso.

Sobre por qué decidió compartir su diagnóstico ahora, Landon dijo que solo tenía ganas de compartir su verdad y desde entonces los fans lo han aplaudido por su franqueza.

Landon ha estado abriéndose mucho sobre su vida personal en las últimas semanas, después de haber confirmado la separación de la TikToker Charli D'Amelio en febrero.

En ese momento, Landon le dijo a los fans que él y Charli se separaron en buenos términos y que se estaban tomando un tiempo para centrarse en sí mismos.

Travis Barker's son, Landon, is opening up about his life with Tourette syndrome ... which nobody seemed to know about until now.

The 20-year-old influencer shared his health journey Monday -- this after a fan on TikTok speculated he may have the disorder. As Landon detailed in the video above ... he has a minor case of Tourette's -- which he says he was initially diagnosed with as a child.

Landon recalled first experiencing Tourette's back in preschool ... after a teacher accused him of rolling his eyes at her. Travis' son -- whom he shares with Shanna Moakler -- explained the eye-rolling was eventually diagnosed as a tic ... a symptom of the neurological condition.

He went on to describe his tics -- which also include jerking his head to the side and moving his jaw repeatedly -- stuff he'll do when he says he's nervous or anxious.

On why he decided to share his diagnosis now ... Landon said he just felt like sharing his truth -- and fans have since applauded him for his candor.

Landon has been opening up about his personal life quite a bit in recent weeks ... having previously confirmed his split from TikToker girlfriend Charli D'Amelio in February.

At the time ... Landon told fans that he and Charli split on good terms -- as they're taking time to focus on themselves.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Sinbad está hablando públicamente por primera vez en mucho tiempo, y se ve bastante bien. Esto es importante si tenemos en cuenta que sufrió un accidente cerebrovascular hace 4 años, y lo que es aún más impresionante, es que está bromeando con un regreso.

El comediante publicó un nuevo video en Insta en el que hizo varias revelaciones, no sabíamos de él desde que sufrió su episodio médico en 2020. Esto también marca su primer post desde 2022, cuando dio otra gran actualización.

Sinbad le dijo a los fans que apreciaba sus amables palabras y oraciones durante estos últimos años, señalando que las demostraciones de afecto significaban mucho para él mientras se recuperaba.

También dijo que la gente podía esperar ver más de él pronto, una señal alentadora.

Sinbad volvió a ser el centro de atención a finales de febrero para acompañar a sus compañeros de "Un mundo diferente" en su primera parada de una gira por 10 ciudades. Aunque Sinbad participó en Zoom, fue recibido con un apasionado aplauso de la multitud.

En este último clip, dice que se sorprendió de que los universitarios incluso sabían quién era.

Tal vez el cómico está subestimando su legado, que incluye papeles protagonistas en "Jingle All the Way", "The Sinbad Show", "Coneheads", y seis temporadas en "The Cosby Show" spinoff.

En cualquier caso, Sinbad se aseguró de agradecer a sus fans por su continuo amor y apoyo, informándoles de que vio y leyó todo lo que se envió durante su recuperación.

Como informamos, sufrió un derrame cerebral en octubre de 2020. Su familia dijo más tarde fue causado por un coágulo de sangre que viajó desde el corazón hasta el cerebro. En ese momento, sus seres queridos dijeron que estaban agradecidos por la efusión de amor de los fans.

Sinbad is speaking out publicly for the first time in a long time, and he's showing face too -- which is major following his stroke 4 years ago ... and crazier yet, he's teasing a comeback.

The comedian posted a new video to IG that revealed a lot -- including giving fans an update on his health ... which many have been asking for ever since he suffered his medical episode in 2020. This also marks his first post since 2022, when he gave another big update.

In the new upload, Sinbad told fans that he appreciated their kind words and prayers to him over these past few years ... noting the kind words meant a lot to him as he recovered.

He also said folks could expect to see more of him soon ... an encouraging sign.

Sinbad actually stepped back into the spotlight a bit at the end of February to accompany his costars "A Different World" for their initial stop on a 10-city tour of HBCUs. While Sinbad only participated over Zoom -- he was met with a passionate round of applause from the crowd.

In this latest clip ... he says he was surprised that the college kids even knew who he was.

Perhaps the comic is underestimating his legacy -- which includes starring roles in "Jingle All the Way," "The Sinbad Show," "Coneheads," and six seasons on "The Cosby Show" spinoff.

In any case, Sinbad made sure to thank his fans for their continued love and support ... informing them that he saw and read everything that was sent in during his recovery.

As we reported ... Sinbad suffered from a stroke in October 2020 -- which his family later said was caused by a blood clot that traveled from the heart to the brain. At the time ... his loved ones said they were grateful for fans' outpouring of love.
