Money

The Weeknd le dio un impulso a la economía del país. Su último concierto no solo fue una buena inyección de dinero en términos de impuestos, además trajo un montón de puestos de trabajo con él.

El cantante actuó en Bogotá —la capital del país— el miércoles por la noche, trabajando con 35 empresas diferentes de la ciudad, lo que se tradujo en un altísimo número de personas capaces de trabajar para la gran noche. De hecho, nos dicen que 1.500 puestos de trabajo se crearon en total a través del espectáculo.

The Weeknd ha estado vendiendo estadios de todo el mundo como parte de su gira "After Hours Til Dawn", causando furor en Londres, París, y por supuesto, Bogotá  —y sus últimos espectáculos terminaron generando más de 800 millones de pesos.

Todo fue intensidad y ritmo en el Estadio Nemesio Camacho, más conocido como El Campín. Los fans estuvieron eufóricos durante toda la noche mientras cantaba sus éxitos.

Pat Fitzgerald is not going down without a fight -- the fired Northwestern football coach just filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the school ... and he's seeking at least $130 million.

48-year-old Fitzgerald was suspended and later booted from his alma mater amid allegations of hazing within the program back in July ... after an investigation determined the longtime coach did not know of any wrongdoing, but could have made an effort to find out about what was happening.

Fast forward to Thursday ... PF's attorneys are ripping the school's decision to fire their client after 17 seasons.

"If there was ever a coach at Northwestern University who should have not been terminated, it's Coach Fitzgerald," Dan Webb said in a press conference announcing the "major" lawsuit.

Webb said N.U. wrongfully and illegally sacked Fitzgerald "without any legitimate or rational reason whatsoever."

Webb added the lawsuit includes claims of breach of contract on two occasions and defamation.

The attorney added the school should cough up the massive amount of money for the economic damages Fitzgerald suffered ... as well as an additional chunk of change for punitive damages, future loss of income and infliction of emotional distress.

Colombia has The Weeknd to thank for a huge boost to the country's economy ... his latest not only brought in a whole bunch of money, but a ton of jobs with it.

The singer performed in Bogotá -- the country's capital -- Wednesday night, working with 35 different companies in the city, which translated into a sky-high number of folks able to work for the big night. In fact, we're told 1,500 jobs in all were created through the show.

The Weeknd's been selling out stadiums across the globe as part of his "After Hours Til Dawn" tour, blowing the roof off in London, Paris, and, of course, Bogotá -- and his latest shows ended up generating over 800 million pesos.

He brought the house down at Nemesio Camacho El Campín Stadium, BTW ... with fans having a blast all night long as he sang his chart-topping hits.

Sounds like The Weeknd's Colombian fans aren't the only ones grateful that he came and put on a show ... the rest of the country's gotta be thanking him, too!

Corey Feldman dice que su chaqueta de cuero con tachuelas de "Dream a Little Dream" fue robada durante un concierto reciente (otra vez) y la ex estrella infantil está empeñada en recuperarla.

La estrella de "Los Goonies" (entre muchas otras), dice que estaba actuando el domingo en Nueva Jersey cuando alguien fue detrás del escenario y le robó la chaqueta delante de sus narices.

Corey dice que le enfurece mucho que alguien tenga la audacia de robar lo que él considera un "artefacto sagrado en su vida" y dice que se siente triste y herido, en parte porque le recuerda a su difunto amigo, el actor Corey Haim.

Es la segunda vez que este artículo desaparece, como informamos, fue robado en 2011 mientras Corey estaba pasando el rato en la Casa del Blues en Los Ángeles, solo para que resurgiera años más tarde en un mercado de las pulgas en Boston, y en última instancia, hacer su camino de regreso a Corey.

Esta vez, Corey dice que fue robado de Homestead Bar & Kitchen en Morristown, Nueva Jersey, y está ofreciendo una recompensa de $1,000 por cualquier información sobre el incidente o el paradero de la chaqueta.

Corey Feldman says his studded leather jacket from "Dream a Little Dream" was stolen during a recent gig ... again ... and the former child star is hellbent on getting it back.

The "Goonies" star says he was performing Sunday in New Jersey when someone went backstage and swiped the jacket right from under his nose.

Corey says he's furious someone would have the audacity to steal what he considers a "sacred artifact from his life" ... and he says he's feeling sad and hurt, in part because it reminds him of his late friend, actor Corey Haim.

It's the second time this wardrobe item's gone missing ... as we reported, it was stolen in 2011 while Corey was hanging out at the House of Blues in L.A., only for it to resurface years later at a Boston flea market, and ultimately make its way back to Corey.

This time, Corey says it was stolen from Homestead Bar & Kitchen in Morristown, NJ ... and he's offering a $1,000 reward for any info about the incident or the jacket's whereabouts.

Corey's worn it in movies like "Dream a Little Dream" and "The 'Burbs" ... as well as for a guest appearance on "Married With Children," and he says he's worn it onstage at every one of his performances ever since.

Taylor Swift está en todas partes por estos días, incluso ayudando a recaudar algo de dinero para el evento de caridad de su mejor amiga Selena Gomez.

Dos codiciadas entradas a uno de sus conciertos se tomaron la subasta de Hollywood el miércoles, con motivo de la inauguración de Rare Impact Fund Benefit. El evento es parte de la campaña de Selena por generar mayor conciencia sobre las personas que luchan con problemas de salud mental y auto aceptación.

Martin Short fue el maestro de ceremonias del evento, quien dio el pistoletazo de salida a la subasta de entradas en 5.000 dólares, pero la cifra fue aumentando hasta que finalmente alcanzó la suculenta suma de 15.000 dólares, la entrada más cara del evento. Por supuesto, Martin añadió mucho humor e hizo que el público se muriera de la risa.

Como era de esperar, una vez que Martin hizo oficial al ganador, todo el mundo se volvió loco y aplaudió.

El hijo de Drake, Adonis, aparece en el nuevo video de su padre "8AM in Charlotte", y además de ser presentado, dibujó el arte de la portada, aunque parece que no le pagaron nada por el trabajo duro.

El nuevo video da el puntapié inicial del álbum "For All the Dogs" de Drake, que finalmente sale mañana después de varios retrasos.

Adonis dio una explicación completa de la cabra que dibujó para la portada, similar a la que hizo para el arte de 'Dogs'. ¡La cabra simboliza a "Papá Cabra", o en otras palabras, que su padre es el mejor de todos los tiempos!

Cuando Drake bromeó con él sobre su pago por el dibujo, Adonis demostró que no es ajeno al sarcasmo. Con tan solo 5 años le dijo, "oh, por favor!!!", a papá en su cara.

Quién sabe, los dibujos podrían valer millones más adelante, especialmente si el álbum de Drake está a la altura.

El legendario boxeador le regaló a su amigo un reloj de diamantes valorado en un cuarto de millón de dólares.

Según TMZ Sports, Mayweather le regaló el reloj personalizado de 250.000 dólares al famoso Shuki Diamonds y el momento fue grabado en video.

"El hombre del dinero está de vuelta. Estoy aquí con mi amigo Shuki. Estamos en Los Ángeles pasandola en grande", 50-0 Mayweather dijo a la cámara mientras estaba de pie junto a la joyería.

Y continuó: "Este reloj de aquí es para Shuki. Una de mis piezas personalizadas. Money Man, ya saben como es la cosa".

Floyd es dueño de una colección de joyas casi inigualable y uno de los deportistas con mayores ingresos de todos los tiempos. Solo por la pelea contra Conor McGregor ingresó alrededor de 300 millones de dólares.

Una vez retirado, Mayweather ha seguido recaudando millones, realizando combates de exhibición por todo el mundo y peleando con todo el mundo, desde Logan Paul hasta el nieto de John Gotti.

En cuanto a Shuki (que ya posee algunos relojes impresionantes), ahora tiene un condominio en su muñeca.

Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, even helping to raise some money for her bestie Selena Gomez's charity event.

Two of Taylor's highly sought-after concert tix hit the auction block in Hollywood Wednesday at the inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit. It was part of Selena's ongoing campaign to bring awareness to people struggling with mental health issues and self-acceptance.

Martin Short was the emcee of the affair, kicking off the tickets auction at $5K, but the number steadily rose until it finally hit a whopping $15K -- the biggest ticket item of the event. Of course, Martin added a lot of humor and had the audience cracking up.

Unsurprisingly, once Martin made the winner official -- everyone went crazy and clapped.

Drake's son Adonis is all over his dad's new video for "8AM in Charlotte" -- in addition to being featured, he drew the cover art, but it seems he got paid bupkis for his hard work!!!

The new vid kicks off Drake's "For All the Dogs" rollout, which finally drops tomorrow after several delays.

Adonis gave a full explanation of the goat he drew for the new illustration, similar to the one he crafted for the 'Dogs' cover art -- the goat symbolizes a "Daddy Goat" AKA his father being the greatest of all time ... an opinion that got no pushback from Drake!!!

When Drake teased him about his payment for the drawing, Adonis showed he's no stranger to sarcasm at just 5 years old, dropping an "Oh, please!" on Dad to his face!!!

Who knows, the paintings could be worth millions down the line, especially if Drake's album lives up to the hype.

Floyd Mayweather was in a giving mood, a veryyyy giving mood, this week ... the legendary boxer hooked his buddy up with an iced-out watch worth a quarter of a million dollars!

TMZ Sports is told Mayweather gifted the $250k, custom timepiece to the famed Shuki Diamonds ... and the cool moment was captured on video.

"The Money Man is back. I'm right here with my main man, Shuki. We in L.A., ballin' out," 50-0 Mayweather said to the camera while standing next to the jeweler.

He continued ... "This watch right here is going to Shuki. One of my custom pieces. Money Man, y'all know the rest."

Of course, Floyd, owner of a nearly unmatched jewelry collection, is one of the highest-earning athletes of all time. He made around $300 million for the Conor McGregor fight alone.

In retirement, Mayweather has continued to rake in millions, taking exhibition bouts around the world, fighting everyone from Logan Paul to John Gotti's grandson.

As for Shuki (who already owns some awesome watches), he's now got a condo on his wrist.

Severe road rage has a Philly biker behind bars this morning ... after he was caught on camera smashing the rear window of a woman's car as her 2 young kids were in the backseat.

Cops busted 26-year-old Cody Heron Wednesday night for a heinous attack on a driver Sunday night. Heron was part of a group of bikers riding through the city when they rolled up on Nikki Bullock's sedan.

Video of the incident shows Heron hop off his motorcycle, and stomp twice on the rear window of her car before he smashes right through it.

You can also see Heron was armed with a handgun, because it falls out of his waistband as he jumps off the car to get back on his bike. After a brief physical confrontation -- during which Heron headbutts Nikki with his helmet -- he and the other bikers flee the scene.

Cops finally tracked down Heron Wednesday night at a home where they also found his motorcycle, helmet and a 9mm handgun.

He was booked for possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, and multiple counts of aggravated assault.

Nikki says the whole thing started because Heron sideswiped her car while she was delivering for Uber Eats. She was arguing with him and other bikers, and says that's when Heron jumped off his bike and pounced on the window ... with her 5-year-old and 2-year-old kids just inches away.

Flo Rida's baby mama says she's willing to settle the lawsuit over their son's near-fatal fall from her New Jersey apartment building ... but it's going to require an 8-figure payout.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Alexis Adams says it will take $40 million for her to settle the suit she's filed against the various parties she claims are responsible for her son's fall from a Jersey City building.

Remember, Alexis and Flo's 6-year-old son Zohar fell from a 5th-story window back in March and landed on the concrete pavement below ... resulting in serious injuries.

As we reported ... Zohar was rushed to a hospital and placed in the ICU ... ultimately emerging in a full-body cast and then learning how to walk again. Doctors said it's a miracle the boy even survived the 50-foot fall.

Alexis is suing a construction company and a window installation company, among others, blaming them for installing "incorrect sized guards" on the windows ... which she believes allowed Zohar to fall. Flo Rida is not involved in the suit.

Tom Brady's jersey from his final NFL game is about to hit the auction block ... and it's about to be in the hands of someone VERY rich -- 'cause it could sell for up to $2.5 MILLION!!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the iconic piece of Buccaneers gear will be available next month as part of RM Sotheby's and Wynn's Official Auction of the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The white No. 12 threads are from Brady's last game on January 16, 2023 ... when the Bucs faced the Dallas Cowboys in a Wild Card playoff matchup on Monday Night Football.

Brady had 351 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the contest ... falling to Dallas, 31-14 and ending his stellar career.

Officials say the item could potentially become the most valuable game-worn jersey EVER ... passing Joe Montana’s San Francisco 49ers uni he wore in Super Bowl XIX and Super Bowl XXIII, which came with a $1.2 million price tag earlier this year.

Sotheby’s Head of Streetwear & Modern Collectables Brahm Wachter spoke about the rare piece of memorabilia ... saying, "There are only a few athletes who are universally accepted as the greatest in their sport -- Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Muhammed Ali, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth."

"For the National Football League, it’s Tom Brady. Worn at the very last game of his tenured career, this historic shirt is a tangible reminder of Brady’s unparalleled legacy, and as such, is arguably the most coveted NFL jersey to ever come to auction."

La madre del bebé de Flo Rida dice que está dispuesta a resolver la demanda sobre la peligrosa caída de su hijo desde un edificio de 5 pisos, y tiene un enorme pago de ocho cifras en mente.

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Alexis Adams dice que tendrán que pagarle 40 millones de dólares para resolver su demanda contra las distintas partes que ella afirma, son responsables de la caída de su hijo de un edificio de Jersey City (Nueva Jersey).

Alexis afirma que ella y el hijo de 6 años de edad de Flo Rida —Zohar— cayeron desde una ventana del 5 º piso en marzo y aterrizaron sobre el pavimento. Quedaron con lesiones graves.

Como informamos, ella afirma Zohar fue trasladado a un hospital y enviado a la UCI. Finalmente, salió con un yeso de cuerpo completo y la tarea de aprender a caminar de nuevo. Los médicos dijeron que es un milagro que el niño haya sobrevivido a la caída de 50 pies.

Alexis ha demandado a una empresa de construcción y a otra de instalación de ventanas y le ha dicho a los medios de comunicación que el incidente "es como una pesadilla". Flo Rida no está involucrado en la demanda.

Mientras que Alexis dice que 40 millones de dólares es lo que se necesita para llegar a un acuerdo, ($20 millones de un grupo de acusados y $20 millones de otro) no hay nada que muestre en los documentos que cualquiera de los acusados estén interesados en pagar esta cantidad para resolver el caso.

Donald Trump ya no está en buenos términos con Forbes, al menos en lo que respecta al listado de los más ricos de Estados Unidos, porque el polémico expresidente cayó nuevamente fuera de la parte superior, conformada por el club de los 400.

El asunto es así, Donald Trump fue eliminado por primera vez del codiciado grupo en 2021, en medio de una áspera salida de la Casa Blanca, pero volvió a estar adentro el año pasado, en el puesto 343, con un patrimonio neto estimado de $3.2 mil millones en ese momento. Esto, después de las ventas de algunos bienes raíces y otras empresas.

Ahora, en 2023, ha vuelto a salir del grupo de los 400 con un patrimonio neto actual de 2.600 millones de dólares estimados. Se podría pensar que todas las acusaciones en su contra, por no hablar del juicio civil que ha significado un duro examen a su riqueza y valores de propiedad, son las responsables de esta caída... pero no necesariamente.

Según Forbes, la disminución de la riqueza es atribuible en realidad a una mala inversión en Truth Social (la red social lanzada por Donald Trump), que no ha logrado despegar ni atraer una base de usuarios consistente, además de una depreciación en el mercado de sus edificios de oficinas.

La cartera de bienes raíces comerciales de Trump aparentemente ha recibido un golpe importante con el trabajo a distancia y algunas ciudades que están viendo una fuga de sus residentes, como San Francisco, donde tiene algunos activos.

En otras palabras, son las reglas regulares de la economía las que han afectado y no tanto sus crecientes facturas legales. Otro dato interesante de Forbes es que la riqueza líquida de Donald Trump estaría en torno a los $426 millones, por lo que está lejos de la quiebra.
