Judge Attack Flying Felon Now Isolated Behind Bars

1/3/24
LAW BRAWL

The flying felon who attacked a Vegas judge is paying for his actions in more ways than one ... not only has he been hit with a bunch more charges, he's also now in solitary.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Deobra Redden has been moved to a solo cell following his violent outburst where he leaped over the bench at Judge Mary Kay Holthus earlier this week, punching her in the head and pulling her hair while court staffers rushed to her aid.

Our sources say Redden was immediately classified as a "2C" inmate, which is the most restrictive classification in the Clark County Jail.

This means Redden is solo in a cell, without any interactions with other inmates. He also eats alone, inside the cell ... and has very limited time outside.

The whole thing was shocking ... Redden was in court for a previous conviction for attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. His attorney had asked Judge Holthus for parole, but she chose to sentence the 3-time felon instead -- which set him off and led to the attack.

Judge Holthus was mostly unharmed, but shaken up by the incident. Another court employee required 25 stitches to close a gash on his head.

As for Redden ... he was hit with a slew of new felonies for the attack -- including coercion with force or threat of force, extortion, intimidating public officers/others with the use of force, disregard of the safety of person/property, and battery by prisoner, probationer, or parolee.

BRITNEY SPEARS MAKES VEGAS RETURN AFTER WEMBY SLAP

Britney Spears decided she'd give Sin City another shot ... celebrating the holidays there 5 months after enduring a slap from Victor Wembanyama's security in a bizarre exchange.

Sources tell TMZ, the singer returned to Vegas over the holidays ... staying for a few days, though it's unclear if she spent Christmas Day among all the lights and excitement.

We're told Britney had a room at Resorts World and another at Aria. Video emerged on social media of Britney walking around the casino floor at The Wynn holding a beer and flanked by a few security guards.

The source tells us she was at The Wynn to watch the show "Awakening" and dined at their swanky seafood restaurant, Lakeside.

Her Vegas schedule was jam-packed -- she also took a tour of the brand-new Fontainebleau property, briefly checked out LIV, and spent time inside their members-only club, Poodle Room.

SLAP HAPPY

Basically, we're told her time in Vegas was super chill and inconspicuous -- nothing like last time when she was slapped by basketball player Victor's security when she beelined behind him after running into him in a hallway.

UNCALLED FOR

Video of the moment went viral ... and upon watching it, Britney said her reaction to the slap was "priceless."

Clearly, she's over it now ... not letting the whack across the face stop her from ending her year on a high.

Britney Spears Vuelve a Las Vegas tras la bofetada de Wemby

Britney Spears decidió darle otra oportunidad a la ciudad del pecado y celebrar las fiestas allí a solo 5 meses de soportar una bofetada del equipo de seguridad de Victor Wembanyama en un extraño intercambio.

Fuentes dicen a TMZ que la cantante regresó a Las Vegas durante las vacaciones para quedarse por unos días, aunque no está claro si pasó el día de Navidad entre todas las luces y la emoción.

Nos dicen que Britney tenía una habitación en Resorts World y otra en Aria. En las redes sociales apareció un video de ella paseando por el casino Wynn con una cerveza en la mano y flanqueada por varios guardias de seguridad.

La fuente nos dice que estaba en el Wynn para ver el espectáculo "Awakening" y cenar en su restaurante de mariscos, Lakeside.

Su agenda en Las Vegas estaba repleta. También hizo un recorrido por la nueva propiedad Fontainebleau, visitó brevemente LIV y pasó tiempo dentro de su club solo para miembros, Poodle Room.

Básicamente, nos dicen que su tiempo en Las Vegas fue súper tranquilo y discreto, nada que ver con la última vez, cuando fue abofeteada por la seguridad del jugador de baloncesto Victor cuando estaba detrás de él después de encontrárselo en un pasillo.

Innecesario

El video se hizo viral, y al verlo, Britney dijo que su reacción a la cachetada fue "impagable".

Claramente, lo ha superado y no está dejando que una bofetada en la cara le impida terminar su año por en lo alto.

Kelly Clarkson Helps Couple Marry At Vegas Show ... Still Believes in Love Despite Ex Drama

Kelly Clarkson's Las Vegas residency won't last forever, but she left her fans with one heck of a memory ... a wedding ceremony mid-show!

The "Stronger" singer stopped by a pair of men in the audience during her New Year's Eve show who asked her to bear witness to their union.

One of the men said he and his partner had been together nearly 15 years and were ready to tie the knot.

During this story, their officiant came down and Kelly handed the mic over to him ... and he didn't miss a beat, launching into a quick ceremony.

The happy couple said their "I do's" and, by the "power of Kelly Clarkson's show" the officiant proclaimed them married.

Kelly didn't stop there. The "Since U Been Gone" songstress shook hands with the couple's parents and congratulated them on the marriage as well.

It's good to know Kelly's opinion on love hasn't soured given her contentious divorce from her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.

Though the two settled their divorce in 2022, Blackstock overcharged Kelly when he managed her career, and the judge ruled he owed her about $2.6 million in November.

SURPRISE SOB

The only question now ... how's Adele gonna top this?!?

Zak Bagans Un visitante se desmaya con una muñeca embrujada ... Video del escalofriante encuentro en el museo

Olvídense de Chucky, Annabelle e incluso M3GAN ... El Museo Embrujado de Zak Bagans tiene una muñeca aparentemente tan poseída que un hombre se desmayó después de encontrarse cara a cara con ella.

La estrella de "Ghost Adventures" le dice a TMZ que al mirar a los ojos de la muñeca Lilly, durante una reciente visita al museo, el hombre se desmayó y se golpeó la cabeza contra el mostrador, y tenemos el escalofriante momento en video.

Cosas espeluznantes
TMZ.com

Zak dice que el hombre recibió atención médica después de recuperar la conciencia y estaba bien, aunque inquietantemente no quiso hablar con nadie después ni mucho menos mirar a ninguno de los empleados del museo.

El hombre rápidamente huyó del lugar y no ha regresado desde entonces.

Un comerciante de antigüedades con sede en Oregón encontró por primera vez a Lilly bajo un viejo baúl de vapor y se la llevó a su casa, donde inmediatamente comenzó a tener pesadillas sobre una niña que moría de forma violenta.

Más tarde, cuando una niña visitó la tienda, le dijo a su madre que tuvo una conversación con "la niña dentro de Lilly, que le dijo que murió de una forma aterradora".

Zak viajó a la tienda para investigar y cuando la mujer que trabajaba detrás del mostrador sacó a Lilly del estante, inmediatamente se retorció de dolor abdominal, diciendo: "Debo lavarme las manos", repetidamente.

Eso fue suficiente para que Zak la pusiera en exhibición en su museo en Las Vegas, donde está claro que continuará su reinado de muñecas de terror.

ZAK BAGANS Haunted Doll Makes Guest Faint ... Video of Chilling Museum Encounter

Forget Chucky, Annabelle and even M3GAN ... Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum is home to a doll apparently so possessed, a man passed out cold after coming face to face with it.

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ that upon looking into the eyes of Lilly the doll -- during a recent visit to the museum -- the man fainted and bashed his head on the display stand -- and we've got the chilling moment on camera.

SPOOKY STUFF
TMZ.com

Zak says the man received medical attention after regaining consciousness and was OK -- although, disturbingly, he wouldn't speak to anyone afterward, let alone even look at any of the museum staff.

The man promptly fled the museum and has not returned since.

An Oregon-based antiques dealer first found Lilly under an old steamer trunk -- and took it back to his store where he immediately began having nightmares about a little girl dying a violent death.

Later, when a young girl visited the store, she told her mother she had a convo with "the girl inside of Lilly, who said she died in a scary way."

Zak traveled to the shop to investigate ... and when the woman working behind the counter took Lilly down from the shelf, she immediately doubled over with abdominal pain ... chanting, "I must wash my hands" repeatedly.

That was enough for Zak to put her up on display at his infamous Las Vegas museum ... where she's clearly continuing her doll-ightful reign of terror.

Britney Spears Sin faltarte el respeto J, pero... Llorabas cuando te di una paliza de baloncesto!!!

Britney Spears está disparando contra Justin Timberlake y lo que ella considera su falta de habilidades en el baloncesto, afirmando que era un mal perdedor cuando ella lo derribaba en la cancha.

La estrella del pop usó su Instagram el viernes para molestar un poco al cantante de "Suit & Tie". Sin dar nombres, dijo: "Nunca mencioné cómo le gané en el baloncesto 🏀 y él lloraba... sin faltar el respeto 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ !!!"

'Cry him a river'
TikTok / @Chynnatok

La frase de Britney no es una coincidencia. Como recordarán, Justin abordó la controversia que lo rodea a partir del libro de memorias de Britney, "The Woman In Me", durante su actuación en Las Vegas el miércoles por la noche.

Justo antes de cantar "Cry Me a River" Justin miró a la multitud y dijo: "Sin faltar el respeto", y la canción había sido criticada por Britney por estar relacionada a su fallida relación. Se piensa que Justin la escribió después de descubrir que Britney lo engañaba.

Así que sí, Brit hablando de Justin llorando después de perder un juego, dos días después de que él interpretara "Cry Me a River". El enigma está prácticamente escrito en la pared.

Por cierto, Britney estaba en el equipo de baloncesto cuando iba a la escuela y ha demostrado sus habilidades antes, por lo que es posible que Justin haya perdido contra ella durante su tiempo en las canchas.

Britney Spears No Disrespect to JT, But ... He'd Cry When I Whooped Him On The B-Ball Court!!!

Britney Spears is firing a shot at Justin Timberlake and what she considers his lack of basketball skills, claiming he was a sore loser when she'd take him down on the court.

The pop star took to Instagram Friday to throw some shade at the "Suit & Tie" singer ... without naming names, she writes, "I never mentioned how I beat him in basketball 🏀 and he would cry … no disrespect 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ !!!"

Cry Him A River
TikTok / @Chynnatok

Britney's phrasing is no coincidence ... you'll recall, Justin addressed the controversy surrounding him and Britney's memoir, "The Woman In Me," during his performance in Las Vegas Wednesday night.

Right before singing, "Cry Me a River," JT looked to the crowd and said, "No disrespect" ... and the song was one Britney slammed for the connection to their broken relationship. It was alleged Justin wrote it after he had caught Britney cheating.

So yea ... Brit talking about Justin crying after losing a game, two days after Justin performed "Cry Me a River" -- the writing's practically on the wall.

BTW, Britney was on the basketball team in high school and has shown off her skills before ... so it's possible JT took a few Ls during their time on the court together.

Kanye West Yo le di a Nicki su mejor momento... Retrasar mi álbum no tiene sentido

Kanye West no se está tomando bien el rechazo y no tuvo pelos en la lengua para hablar de la decisión de Nicki Minaj de NO autorizar su verso de hace 5 años para su nuevo álbum, ¡¡¡y el tipo echaba humo de frustración!!!

Nuevas imágenes de la sesión de "Vultures" en Las Vegas salieron a la luz el viernes, a través de The Shade Room, y capturan al rapero y megaestrella despotricando por su canción "New Body", la que quería poner en el proyecto.

Ye le dijo a la multitud a su alrededor que obligó a Nicki a escribir los versos de "Monster" en su álbum de 2010 "MBDTF" y piensa que se ha ganado un poco de respeto en los últimos años como para recibir algo a cambio.

Kanye bromeó que el obstáculo de Nicki retrasaría completamente el álbum, lo que no le pareció tan divertido a Ty Dolla $ign, pero no parece que Nicki quiera cooperar.

Ya te perdiste la oportunidad...

Nicki le dijo a sus fans en un Instagram Live ayer por la noche que "New Body" era cosa del pasado y su principal prioridad es la promoción de "Pink Friday 2" ... ¡¡¡ella no quiere competir con ella misma!!!

Kanye West I Gave Nicki Her Breakout Moment ... Delaying My Album Makes No Sense!!!

Kanye West isn't taking rejection well and didn't mince his words when discussing Nicki Minaj's decision NOT to clear her 5-year-old verse for his new album ... and he was fuming with frustration!!!

New footage from Ye's "Vultures" Vegas session surfaced Friday, via The Shade Room, and it captures the megastar rapper ranting about his song "New Body," which he wanted to put on the project.

Ye told the crowd gathered around him that he forced Nicki to write her show-stealing "Monster" verse 3x from his 2010 "MBDTF" album ... and thinks he's earned some quid pro quo respect over the years.

He joked Nicki's stonewalling would delay the album altogether -- which apparently wasn't that funny to Ty Dolla $ign, but it doesn't seem like Nicki is playing ball.

Ye Train Has Left The Station

Nicki told her fans on IG Live last night "New Body" was old news and her main focus is promoting "Pink Friday 2" ... she doesn't want to compete with herself!!!

Kanye West & Kid Cudi Friends Again ... Hug It Out In Vegas

12/15/23
FRIENDSHIP REBORN

Kid Cudi was clearly in a much better mood than Kanye West Thursday night as he officially ended their beef in Las Vegas -- a total shocker to many after Cudi vowed to forever cut all ties with him just last year!!!

The “Kids See Ghosts” duo were spotted hugging, and briefly speaking during Kanye’s Vegas rave for his “Vultures" album.

Kanye and Cudi feuded through all of 2022 -- Ye was upset Cudi chose to keep his friendship with Pete Davidson as he dated Kim Kardashian ... which forced Cudi to label him a dinosaur in the music industry, and swear to never work with him again.

You can see Cudi was far more inviting than Kanye, who pulled away after a few moments Thursday night. It's unclear if the reunion happened before or after Ye went on a wacky rant in which he lumped himself in with Jesus Christ AND Hitler!

Everyone else seemed to be having a good time and enjoying the music ... Cher's boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards and several women can also be spotted catching a vibe to the new music ... before the festivities got shut down by cops.

SHUT DOWN

Ye and Cudi have a HUGE history working together, and Kim and Pete are no longer a thing -- soooo, no reason to stay mad???

Justin Timberlake Addresses Britney Backlash ... 'Cry Me a River' Is Nothing Personal

Justin Timberlake seemed to address the controversy around him in Britney Spears' recent memoir during his Sin City performance -- using just two words to make his cryptic point.

As you know, JT hit the stage to perform in a theater at the grand opening of the posh Fontainebleau Las Vegas Wednesday night -- but, as he teed up his hit, "Cry Me A River," he suddenly made his very brief comment.

Check out this new footage ... Before launching into the song, JT turned to the packed crowd and said, "No disrespect," apparently referring to Britney, who slammed the track for its link to their shattered relationship in her book, "The Woman In Me," published in October.

JT created the tune after his 2002 breakup with Brit, alluding to infidelity in the lyrics and, in an accompanying video, he shared the spotlight with a woman who looks a bit like Brit.

In her memoir, Brit revealed several of the secrets they kept as a couple for years, shocking the world with her claim that Justin got her pregnant and they agreed to get an abortion.

BRITNEY'S BOMBSHELL
TMZ.com

Brit wrote that they didn't want the news to leak to the media, so they opted for an at-home abortion -- which BS described as an excruciatingly painful procedure.

She also said infidelity was a 2-way street in their relationship.

As for JT, he has yet to release an official statement addressing the controversy. But his two-word comment at his Vegas show might be all he has to say.

TikTok / @Chynnatok

Justin Timberlake pareció abordar la controversia que le rodea en las recientes memorias de Britney Spears durante su actuación en la ciudad del pecado, utilizando solo dos palabras para hacer su enigmático punto.

Como ustedes saben, Justin subió al escenario para actuar en la gran apertura del elegante resort Fontainebleau en Las Vegas el miércoles por la noche, y cuando se preparaba para cantar su éxito, "Cry Me A River", de repente hizo un breve comentario.

Echa un vistazo a estas nuevas imágenes. Antes de lanzar la canción, el cantante se dirigió a la multitud y dijo: "Sin faltar el respeto", aparentemente refiriéndose a Britney, quien criticó la pista por estar conectada a su difícil relación en el libro, "The Woman in Me", publicado en octubre.

Justin Timberlake creó la melodía después de su ruptura con Brit en 2002, aludiendo a una infidelidad en la letra y en un video que la acompaña. En este video, además, compartió protagonismo con una mujer que se parecía un poco a Brit.

En sus memorias, ella reveló varios secretos entre ellos durante años, conmocionando al mundo con su afirmación de que Justin la dejó embarazada y acordaron abortar.

Britney revela una bomba
TMZ.com

Brit escribió que no querían que la noticia se filtrara a los medios, por lo que optaron por un aborto en casa, el que Britney describió como insoportablemente doloroso.

También dijo que la infidelidad era algo que corría para ambos lados en su relación.

En cuanto a Justin, aún no ha emitido ninguna declaración oficial sobre la polémica. Pero su comentario de dos palabras en su show de Las Vegas podría ser todo lo que tiene que decir.

Kanye West y Ty Dolla $Ign Fiesta de 'Vultures' es interrumpida por la policía

Clausurado

Se suponía que el álbum "Vultures" de Kanye West y Ty Dolla $ign se iba a lanzar el viernes, pero como era de esperar, eso no sucedió y para sumar a la racha de mala suerte, la fiesta para escuchar el disco en Las Vegas fue clausurada por la policía.

Una fuente policial le dijo a TMZ que los oficiales fueron a un almacén en el desierto de Las Vegas a las 11:21 PM del jueves, después de recibir información de que un agente estaba organizando un evento musical. Al principio, estaban ayudando a controlar y dispersar a las personas.

Sin embargo, nos dicen que el promotor no fue capaz de adquirir una licencia para el evento y fue citado por los investigadores del Condado de Clark, quienes finalmente decidieron clausurar las cosas después de algunas canciones.

La noticia del cierre surgió por primera vez cuando el influencer YesJulz reveló en X: "Los policías nos cerraron. Pondremos otro stream en 20 minutos".

Quavo, Rich The Kid, Playboi Carti, Lil Durk y más asistieron al evento, cuyos boletos de entrada se vendieron por $2,000. En un momento dado, Kanye actuó con su hija de 10 años, North West.

Todo lo que rodea al álbum ha provocado una increíble controversia hasta ahora. Desde la letra "I just f***ed a Jewish bitch" como single principal de "Vultures" (Solo me acosté con una pu*** judía) hasta Ye actuando en una fiesta a principios de esta semana con un atuendo negro inspirado en el Ku Kux Klan.

La participación de su hija en el álbum también ha levantado ceja, aunque North parecía estar disfrutando el tiempo con su padre.

KANYE WEST & TY DOLLA $IGN 'VULTURES' BASH SHUT DOWN BY COPS

SHUT DOWN

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's "Vultures" album was supposed to be released Friday, unsurprisingly, that didn't happen ... and to add to the string of bad luck, their Vegas listening party got shut down by the cops.

A law enforcement source tells TMZ LVMPD officers first responded to a warehouse in the Vegas desert at 11:21 PM Thursday after getting info a promoter was organizing a music event. At first, they were assisting with crowd control and dispersal.

IT'S YOUR BESTIE
SplashNews.com

However, we're told the promoter wasn't able to produce any licensing for the event ... and was cited by Clark County investigators, who eventually shut things down only a few songs in.

News of the shutdown first surfaced when social media personality YesJulz revealed on X, "Cops shut us down. We are putting another stream up in 20 minutes."

Quavo, Rich The Kid, Playboi Carti, Lil Durk and more were in attendance at the rave -- where the admission tickets sold for $2,000. At one point, Kanye performed with his 10-year-old daughter North West.

Everything surrounding the album has drawn incredible controversy so far ... with the "I just f***ed a Jewish bitch" lyrics from the lead single "Vultures" ... and Ye performing at a listening party earlier this week in KKK-inspired black garb.

His daughter's involvement in the album has also raised eyebrows -- though North appeared to enjoy her daddy-daughter time.
