"A christmas story" LA ICÓNICA CASA TIENE NUEVO DUEÑO
La casa de "A christmas story" aparentemente no se le vendió a un propietario privado después de todo, porque el grupo que gestiona el lugar acaba de anunciar un nuevo propietario y es uno de los suyos.
Así es la cosa; la propiedad actualmente opera como una atracción turística en Cleveland. La gente tiene la oportunidad de recorrer el lugar como un museo y pasar la noche ahí. Las cosas han sido así por un tiempo, hasta que el año pasado anunciaron (como empresa) planeaban venderla.
El plan era venderle todo el terreno a alguien nuevo que pudiera continuar gestionándolo como museo o simplemente mudarse y vivir ahí como si fuera una casa regular. Había interés de un grupo de los actores de la clásica película de los 80s, encabezada por Yano Anaya, para hacerse con ella y mantener la venta de entradas.
Después de un montón de drama y de idas y vueltas, parecía que Yano y un grupo que estaba trabajando en línea iban a conseguir finalmente el lugar, pero ahora, parece que todo se fue por la borda.
La página de negocios de la casa de "A christmas story", acaba de decir que tienen su nuevo "dueño" y no es otro que su actual CEO, Joshua Dickerson, quien va a tomar las riendas.
Escriben: "Aunque la cara de la empresa ha sido durante mucho tiempo el fundador, Brian Jones, el verdadero trabajo y rendimiento lo ha llevado el Sr. Dickerson entre bastidores. Parecía justo que diera el paso definitivo y se convirtiera en propietario".
En términos de cómo están enmarcando su nueva "propiedad", la gente de la casa dice que Josh está tomando una participación en el capital de la empresa y se convertirá en su socio principal. En otras palabras, dirigirá el espectáculo y la casa.
El año pasado, nos dijeron que la empresa que vendía la casa (la misma empresa para la que trabaja Josh) esperaba obtener alrededor de 8 cifras por este lugar.
Por supuesto, esto es probablemente un fastidio para Yano, que hizo las paces con Brian y parecía preparado para heredar la propiedad, que pensó que era apropiado teniendo en cuenta su historia con ella.
No estaba destinado a ser... al menos no por ahora.
¿Tal vez un rifle de aire comprimido Red Ryder Carbine-Action modelo 200-shot puede ser un premio de consuelo? Es honestamente la siguiente mejor cosa por ahí. 😅
LA CASA BLANCA SE CONVIERTE EN UN PARAÍSO INVERNAL … con las decoraciones navideñas de 2023
La Casa Blanca luce cada vez más la Navidad, está completamente adornada con decoraciones tan elaboradas que harían sonrojar al mismísimo Santa Claus
Durante el fin de semana de Acción de Gracias, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue se engalanó por completo… y parece que el Presidente Biden y su equipo están listos para dar la bienvenida a la alegría de diciembre, tomando en cuenta todos los adornos que se instalaron en el edificio y sus alrededores.
Están todos los elementos tradicionales que uno esperaría… árboles de Navidad, coronas, luces y nieve falsa por todas partes, pero también parece haber un tema navideño específico.
La Casa Blanca dice que este año ha optado por un motivo de “Magia, maravilla y alegría”, pero si observas con atención lo que adorna los pasillos en este momento, pareciera que a los Biden les encanta lo dulce, ¡hay un montón de dulces y golosinas falsas colgando del techo!
Siempre es genial ver cómo la Casa del Pueblo se suma al espíritu festivo… y esperan recibir bastantes visitantes durante el próximo mes y algo más, ¡alrededor de 100,000 según los empleados de la Casa Blanca!
Es la temporada de la alegría y la política. Suelen ir de la mano estas dos, ¿verdad?
Kyle Kuzma Donates $60K In Clothing To Female Inmates ... Refurbishing Housing Conditions, Too!
'Tis the season of giving and Kyle Kuzma is off to an amazing start ... the NBA star donated $60k worth of clothes to female inmates preparing for release from county jail in his hometown of Flint, Michigan!
The Washington Wizards forward also launched an initiative to refurbish housing conditions for the women who are locked up.
The Kyle Kuzma Family Foundation partnered with I.G.N.I.T.E. and R.I.S.E., two jail reform organizations that support incarcerated women as they prepare to re-enter society.
Kuzma revealed the collaboration at the 23rd I.G.N.I.T.E. graduation ceremony at the county jail on Sunday ... by surprising the female inmates, and announcing the big $60k donation.
The 6'9" baller also handed out presents to kids who were there to visit their moms.
That's not all Kyle's doing ... the 28-year-old also launched "Kuz's Corner," which will help refurbish living conditions at the Genesee County Jail.
"Kuz’s Corner provides incarcerated female inmates something to reach towards, and prove to themselves, and others of their worth and value," the foundation said in a press release.
"The females chosen to reside in Kuz’s Corner have set themselves apart as role models in their behavior, mentorship, and strive to return to the community as a better neighbor."
Kuzma -- who's averaging nearly 23 points a game this season -- cares deeply about his foundation which helps single mothers and children in Michigan, the DMV (D.C. Metro area), and Los Angeles ... a cause that hits close to home.
"When I was growing up, she worked two jobs and that hard work and dedication, just to make ends meet, put food on the table," Kuzma said about his mom Karri on GMA.
"That’s been my inspiration my entire life."
Kuzma -- who launched his foundation in 2019 -- is the first NBA player to lock in a jail reform program.

KIM KARDASHIAN TRAE LA NAVIDAD… ¡¡¡Deslumbra Con Una Alocada Exhibición De Luces En Su Hogar!!!
Si la decoración navideña fuera un deporte, la casa de Kim Kardashian se clasificaría entre las mejores del año… esta vez, fue su deslumbrante exhibición de luces navideñas la que deja boquiabiertos a sus fans de redes sociales.
Kim ofreció a sus 364 millones de seguidores de Instagram un vistazo de su decoración navideña de este año. Tiene una serie de árboles llenos de decenas, o incluso cientos de miles de luces a lo largo de su entrada hasta la puerta de seguridad.
A medida que la puerta se abre, se revelan aún más árboles, acompañados de muchas más luces, mientras suena "It's beginning to look a lot like christmas" en el video de Kim.
10/28/23
Por supuesto, no es la primera vez que Kim derrocha en sus decoraciones navideñas… fue hace solo unas semanas cuando mostró su casa momificada de $60 millones llena de decoraciones de Halloween por dentro y por fuera.
Kim tiene mucho en sus manos con 4 hijos, la gestión de su negocio y muchos otros compromisos, así que ella no es quien decora la casa… no obstante, luce bastante espectacular.
Kim Kardashian Bring on XMas ... Shows Off Insane Home Light Display!!!
If holiday decorations were a sport, Kim Kardashian's pad would rank among the best each year ... this time, it's her Christmas light display wowing fans on social media.
Kim gave her 364 million followers on Instagram a quick peek at this year's holiday set up. She's got a bunch of trees filled with tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of lights lining her driveway and leading up to the security gate.
As the gate pulls back, even more trees -- and a bunch more lights -- are revealed and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" plays over Kim's video.
10/28/23
Of course, it's not the first holiday Kim's pulled out all the stops for her decorations ... it was only a few weeks ago when she showed off her mummified $60 million home filled with Halloween decor inside and out.
Kim's got a lot on her hands with 4 kids, running her business and a bunch of other commitments, so she's not the one to decorate the house herself ... but it still looks pretty damn good.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

White House Becomes Winter Wonderland ... In '23 Xmas Decorations
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the White House -- which is completely decked out in decorations ... so elaborate, in fact, they might even make Saint Nick himself blush.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue got adorned over Thanksgiving weekend ... and it looks like President Biden and co. are ready to welcome December cheer based on all the sparkly ornaments that went up all throughout the building and the rest of the grounds.
There's all the traditional stuff you'd expect ... Xmas trees, wreaths, lights and fake snow all over the place -- but there also seems to be a little bit of a specific holiday theme here.
The White House says they're going with a "Magic, Wonder and Joy" motif this year ... but if you read into what exactly is lining the halls right now -- it would appear the Bidens have a sweet tooth, 'cause there's a bunch of fake candy/treats hanging from the ceilings!
It's always cool to see the People's House get into the spirit of things ... and it also sounds like they're expecting quite a few visitors throughout the next month and change -- upwards of 100,000 or so, according to WH staffers.
'Tis the season ... to be merry and political. Those usually go hand-in-hand, right?

Tom Brady Takes Kids Snorkeling ... Days After Getaway w/ Mom
Tom Brady is on dad time right now -- taking his kids out to sea ... just a few days after their mom, Gisele, flew 'em out to Central America with that jiu-jitsu guy she's always with.
The retired NFL quarterback posted a bunch of photos of him and his little ones Sunday, where they're on a boat and diving into the ocean with snorkeling gear on. He captioned his post, "I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time. Let me have this."
The pics he threw up are super cute ... but he definitely added one thirst trap, which features him facing the camera and completely shirtless. Yeah, the dude's ripped here.
No sign of his eldest son, Jack ... but we can see his other 2 kids -- whom he shares with Gisele -- front and center and ready to dive. There was another little girl in the mix too, but it's unclear who she is. In any case, if you peep his IG, looks like lobster's for dinner.
Now, what's interesting about this excursion is the fact that Gisele took these same children on a trip just earlier this week. They were photographed down in Costa Rica enjoying a vacation ... with none other than Joaquim Valente tagging along as well.
Gisele and Joaquim have been on a lot of getaways together this year ... and at times, her and Tom's children have joined them. It seems like that's becoming a regular thing now.
Despite the obvious appearance of Gisele and Joaquim being a couple ... she's denied any such thing, saying he's simply a close friend of the family who coaches them all up.
Hard to say if anyone's really buying that ... frankly, nobody tends to jet set with their jiu-jitsu instructor for intimate family outings like this, month in and month out. Whatever though ... right now, it's Tom's time with the kiddos -- and he's making the most out of it.
As you know ... Tom and Gisele are divorced now, so sharing custody is their new norm.

Cameron Diaz ¿Buenos genes o buenos doctores?
¡Los looks de Cameron Diaz a lo largo del año son tan coquetos!
Aquí tenemos una versión de 34 años de la rubia actriz lista para la cámara en Surrey, Inglaterra, en donde interpretó a la sexy actriz de Los Ángeles que era incapaz de llorar en la clásica película de vacaciones "The Holiday" en 2006 (izquierda).

Target Roasted for Black Friday Signage ... What Kinda Deal is This?!?
update
11/27/23 -- A Target rep is addressing the viral "call-out" from TikTokers, telling TMZ ... "A recent TikTok video showed a guest questioning if there was a sale on three Samsung TVs that had both a Black Friday sale sign, as well as a sale sign behind it indicating the same price."
They add, "In fact, the TVs were on sale before Black Friday as part of our early Black Friday sales. We continued to offer those items at the same discount during Black Friday, but updated the signage to reflect the extended timing. "
The rep continues, "In both instances, guests would have saved the same amount, between $20-$80 depending on which TV they purchased. Those discounted prices compared to the regular prices are clearly shown in both sale signs in the video.
And finally, "We know our guests are looking for flexibility when they shop holiday deals, which is why we began Black Friday deals in late October and will continue offering great discounts throughout the holiday season. We also offer a Price Match Guarantee, and will match the price of any item purchased by a guest that is offered at a lower price later in the season."
TikTokers are hitting Target to prove the big box store's Black Friday deals may not be what they seem -- showing off some sticker prices as being equal ... regardless of the day.
There's a viral trend on the app right now -- namely, Gen Z'ers going to their local bullseye center and wading through the Black Friday sales that were going on yesterday. Based on what they're capturing though ... they seem to be suggesting clever marketing is afoot.
Check out the video and you'll see what we mean ... in at least three instances, people are removing the "Black Friday Deals" signage -- which features one price -- and revealing the price tag that's covered up in the background. In the examples seen here, they're the same.
One girl hit a pallet with TVs, and the Black Friday mark-down has it pegged at $429. But when she removes the holiday price card, the regular card behind it has a matching number. In other words, she's suggesting there is no real deal at play here ... just new cardstock.
Another dude does something similar, but over in the clothes section ... where he peels back a sticker price for a pair of pants -- which then shows it's been upped in price from $25 to $30 ... so, the guy's implying Target's price-gouged to make it seem like folks are saving.
While most people are wise to this sorta thing -- companies tweaking prices and signage to capitalize on a holiday -- these young'ns apparently think they've uncovered Watergate! 😅
We've reached out to Target for comment on this -- but there isn't much to say besides ... welcome to capitalism, everyone. Now then, go buy more new stuff and be happy, dammit!

Will y Jada Posan juntos para foto de Acción de Gracias
Will Smith y Jada Pinkett Smith estuvieron juntos de nuevo y sonriendo a la cámara para este Día de Acción de Gracias, aunque el modo en que lo compartieron difiere en una manera que puede ser significativa.
La pareja, que ha dejado claro recientemente que no tienen una relación o matrimonio tradicional, reunió a toda la familia, incluyendo sus hijos y sus padres, todos bajo un mismo techo para una sesión de fotos profesional.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Will y Jada subieron diferentes fotos en sus respectivas cuentas de Instagram, pero parece que Will expresó mucho más que Jada, particularmente por unas fotos bastante cariñosas entre ellos.
Como pueden ver, la foto en donde salen solos posando, él aparece dándole un beso en la cabeza a Jada. La versión de Jada de esa foto es un poco diferente... Ella publicó una imagen le acaricia su cabeza, pero la lanzó como parte de un collage más grande.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Obviamente, esto es leer entre líneas, pero bueno, teniendo en cuenta todo lo que ha circulado sobre estos dos en los últimos años, vale la pena analizar estas cosas.
A primera vista, parece que Will quiso presentar más a una pareja feliz y unida en sus fotos. Jada, en cambio, se centró más en la familia, lo que coincide con la forma en que ha hablado de Will, sobre todo últimamente.
Recordemos que Jada reveló hace algunas semanas que llevaban viviendo vidas separadas con Will hace años y que ya no estaban involucrados románticamente. También dijo que se sorprendió cuando Will se refirió a ella como su "esposa", tras abofetear a Chris Rock en los Oscar.
Las revelaciones de su libro de memorias ponen un nuevo foco en su dinámica, que ya había estado bajo el microscopio mucho antes de su libro y que se multiplicó más en los últimos días con la última afirmación.
A pesar de todo el drama, e independiente de si están en la misma página en las fotos que subieron de su familia, los Smith parecen estar disfrutando juntos estas vacaciones.
Eso es todo lo que realmente se puede esperar en esta época del año.
Will & Jada Pose Together for T'Giving Shoot ... Slightly Different Uploads
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were back together and smiling for the camera this Thanksgiving -- although their public evidence differs in what may be a significant way.
The couple -- who've recently made clear they don't have a traditional relationship/marriage -- got the whole fam together for the holiday ... which included themselves, their kids and their parents, with everyone coming together under one roof for a neat pro photo shoot.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
WS and JPS uploaded different shots on their respective Instagram pages, but it appears Will threw up way more than Jada did ... notably, some pretty loving shots between him and her.
As you can see, the pic where it's just him and Jada posing together features him planting a kiss on her head. Her version of that photo is a tad bit different, though ... she posted one where he's nuzzling/cradling her head and threw it up as part of a larger collage.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Obviously, this is reading into the tea leaves a bit ... but hey, considering everything that's been circulating about these two over the years -- it's worth analyzing this stuff.
On its face, it would appear Will wanted to present more of a happy couple/united front vibe with his photos, and Jada seemed content with keeping her IG upload focused more on the family at large ... which kinda jibes with how she's spoken about Will, especially lately.
Remember, Jada revealed last month that she and Will had been living separate lives for years and weren't romantically involved anymore -- while also going on to say she was shocked when Will referred to her as his "wife" when he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Her memoir revelations put renewed focus on their dynamic, which had already been under a microscope well before her book -- and that was multiplied with the latest salacious claim.
Despite all that drama -- and regardless of whether they're on the same page with their family photo uploads or not -- the Smiths appear to be enjoying each other for the holidays.
That's all you can really hope for this time of the year.

Quavo Alimenta a 300 familias... Acción de Gracias en Huncho Farms!!!

Exclusivo
- 10 shares
¡Quavo está dando de vuelta y asegurándose de que tenga un impacto profundo! El rapero puso en marcha la iniciativa Huncho Farms para el Día de Acción de Gracias para que las familias pudieran acceder a todo un jardín y un huerto.
La buena gente de Atlanta recibió un curso intensivo de buena mesa cuando la organización de Quavo Cares, rapero de Migos, se asoció con Urban Recipe, un banco de alimentos sin fines de lucro con sede en la ciudad.
Junto con Chef Brown Catering, Quavo y Urban Recipe sirvieron a más de 300 familias de todos los rincones de Atlanta y también crearon un libro de cocina derivado de recetas del Banco de Alimentos de Atlanta.
Las recetas van desde platos completos como el pavo en salmuera y pollo troceado hasta un crujiente de manzana casero, pero todos los ingredientes provienen de Huncho Farms, cuyo objetivo es aumentar el valor nutricional en la dieta de la familia todos los días.
HandsOn Atlanta y Team Huncho Basketball también desempeñaron un papel importante en la campaña de Acción de Gracias. El ex campeón de la NBA y nativo de Georgia Josh Smith estuvo allí cargando alimentos frescos en bolsas de regalo.
Quavo se ha centrado en hacer frente a los problemas sociales. Él y su familia se aventuraron hasta Washington D.C. para conversar con los legisladores sobre una posible reforma a las armas en memoria del fallecido Takeoff.
¡¡¡Y todo el mundo va a obtener su combustible de Huncho Farms en el futuro!!!
