10/11 8:33 AM PT -- La seguridad ya es muy fuerte fuera de The Grove miércoles por la mañana. Hay barricadas y guardias de seguridad por todo el lugar.

Nos dicen que es casi imposible entrar al centro comercial y que la presencia de la seguridad no hará sino aumentar.

El poder de Taylor Swift no tiene límites. Un famoso centro comercial al aire libre cerrará el miércoles durante todo el día para el estreno mundial de la película de Taylor Swift "Eras Tour".

The Grove, que se ha convertido en una institución en Los Ángeles, acogerá la presentación de la esperada película para 2.200 afortunados fans en sus 14 salas de AMC.

Nos dicen que el equipo de Taylor ha invitado a los fans y que recibirán detalles sobre dónde y cuándo presentarse alrededor de las 2 PM del miércoles.

Los invitados llegarán a las 6 PM y la película comienza a las 7 PM.

La seguridad incluye a la policía de Los Ángeles y el Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles para asegurarse de que nadie más que los invitados pueda entrar. El martes por la noche ya se habían colocado barricadas.

En cuanto a la presunta invitada de honor, no sabemos si Taylor aparecerá, pero si tuviéramos que adivinar —y dada la planificación y el misterio— nuestras apuestas están con ella apareciendo.

Nos han dicho que el propietario de The Grove  —Rick Caruso— y su compañía compensarán a todos los pequeños negocios que están perdiendo beneficios por el cierre.

2:44 PM PT -- Mary Lou Retton's daughter, McKenna Kelley, just updated fans about her mom via Instagram ... saying she's still in the ICU and continues to fight.

"She is getting incredible medical care! Thank you to all the doctors and nurses!"

Kelley -- along with her three sisters Skyla, Shayla, and Emma -- also thanked everyone for their love and support.

"We ask for continued prayers and positive thoughts for our mom."

The SpotFundMe has also increased to over $285k!

9:29 AM PT -- The fundraiser for Mary Lou Retton has now hit a quarter-million dollars ... with famous Texas businessman Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale's wife, Linda donating an astounding $50,000.

The financial support is pouring in for Olympics legend Mary Lou Retton ... with more than $181k in donations being collected as she battles a serious medical issue.

As we previously reported, the gold medalist has been in the ICU fighting for her life as she deals with a "very rare form of pneumonia," according to her daughter ... and she is currently unable to breathe on her own.

Considering 55-year-old MLR is uninsured, the family started a SpotFund page to help with medical bills ... and shortly after the fundraiser went live, it shattered its goal of $50,000.

In fact, the cause has raised more than triple the original goal as of Wednesday morning ... and it only continues to rise.

So far, more than 3,900 people have donated to Retton's expenses ... with many leaving words of support for the gymnast and her family.

Retton is one of the most popular American Olympians from the '80s ... earning gold in the all-around, as well as a pair of silver and bronze medals, in 1984.

Now, her fans throughout the country are pulling for her once again.

Pete Davidson was in a smoky haze when he came to a potentially lucrative discovery ... which is why he bought up thousands of VHS tapes in the hopes of turning a profit.

The 'SNL' alum and upcoming host shared his side hustle theory on Tuesday's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" ... saying he got pretty high one night and, according to him, bought the 3,000 to 5,000 sealed tapes that still exist.

Jimmy's audience had a laugh, with Pete claiming they all sounded like his mom, but his stoned move might be promising ... pointing out 2026 will mark 20 years since the last VHS was made -- and retro fads almost always make good cash.

That's not all -- Pete says sealed copies like his are making up to $30k EACH lately, and a rare edition of a "Rocky" VHS scored $27,500 earlier this year at auction ... so the comedian's in a pretty sweet spot if the demand keeps goin' up.

Apart from Pete's VHS monopoly, he's also slated to host the season 49 premiere of "Saturday Night Live" this weekend -- the first show back since the writer's strike pulled the plug on the end of last season when he was originally supposed to host.

Pete reunited with his 'SNL' pals for dinner Tuesday night ahead of Saturday's show ... dining with Kenan Thompson, Colin Jost, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Punkie Johnson, and even head honcho, Lorne Michaels.

10/11 8:33 AM PT -- Security is already super heavy outside The Grove Wednesday morning ... with barricades and security guards all over the place.

We're told it's next to impossible to get inside the shopping center, and the security presence is only going to grow.

Taylor Swift's power knows no bounds ... a world-famous outdoor mall is shutting down for the entire day Wednesday for the world premiere of Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" flick!

The Grove -- which has become a Los Angeles institution -- will host the unveiling of the highly-anticipated film for 2,200 lucky fans in its 14 AMC theaters.

We're told Taylor's team has invited the fans and they will receive details on where and when to show up at around 2 PM Wednesday.

Guests will arrive at 6 PM and the movie starts at 7 PM.

Security will be out in full force -- that includes the LAPD and L.A. Fire Dept. -- to make sure no one other than invited guests gets in. Barricades were set up late Tuesday night.

As for the presumed guest of honor -- we don't know if Taylor will show, but if we had to guess ... given the planning and secrecy, our money is on her showing up.

We're told The Grove's owner, Rick Caruso, and his company will be compensating all the small businesses that are losing profits from the shutdown.

Taylor's movie is already a monster hit, surpassing $100 million in presale tickets across the globe ... so Wednesday's premiere will be a night to remember.

El cumpleaños de Jen Shah fue diferente esta vez, ya que lo vivió en una prisión federa, así que tuvo que conformarse con la versión carcelaria de ese manjar.

El buen amigo de Jen y ex asistente, Murilo Bueno, le dijo TMZ qué compañeros de prisión de la estrella de la telerrealidad le celebraron su cumpleaños el 4 de octubre haciendo su "sushi prisión" que consiste en rollos de primavera pre-hechos envueltos en arroz pegajoso.

Nos dicen que los amigos presos de Jen en FPC Bryan, Texas, le preguntaron qué haría para su cumpleaños si no estuviera tras las rejas, y cuando ella les dijo que tenía antojo de sushi hicieron todo lo posible para hacerlo realidad utilizando todo lo que pudieron reunir de la comisaría.

Olvídense del pescado crudo, no lo llevan en avión a las prisiones federales. En su lugar, sus compañeras cocinaron arroz pegajoso en agua caliente, lo envolvieron con esos rollitos de primavera ya hechos y ¡listo!

También nos dicen que Jen comió quesadillas al estilo de la prisión. Tortillas y queso a la parrilla, o más bien, en una plancha que normalmente se utiliza para alisar el cabello.

De postre, la amiga de Jen dice que sirvieron "tarta de queso con piña al revés", que probablemente suena mejor de lo que sabe. Murilo dice que lleva una lata de piñas, pero no está segura de los demás ingredientes. Use su imaginación.

TMZ publicó la historia, Jen comenzó a cumplir su sentencia de 6 años y 5 meses de prisión en febrero después de declararse culpable de conspiración por cometer fraude electrónico. Su sentencia ha sido reducida en 1 año y este es su primer cumpleaños tras las rejas.

For Jen Shah, birthdays hit different in federal lockup ... because instead of going out for a fancy sushi dinner, she had to settle for the prison version of that delicacy.

Jen's good friend and former assistant, Murilo Bueno, tells TMZ ... the reality TV star's fellow inmates celebrated her October 4 birthday by making her "prison sushi" ... which consists of premade spring rolls wrapped in sticky rice.

We're told Jen's inmate friends at FPC Bryan in Texas asked her what she would do for her birthday if she wasn't behind bars, and when she told them she was craving sushi ... they did their best to make it happen, using whatever they could gather from the commissary.

Forget the raw fish -- they're not flying that stuff into federal prisons -- instead, her fellow inmates cooked sticky rice in hot water, wrapped that around those pre-made spring rolls and boom -- bootleg sushi roll!!! Yum?

We're also told Jen chowed down on prison-style quesadillas ... tortillas and cheese from the commissary grilled on a flat iron normally used to straighten hair.

For dessert, Jen's friend says they served "prison pineapple upside down cheesecake" ... which probably sounds better than it tastes. Murilo says a can of pineapples is involved, but she's unsure about the other ingredients. Use your imagination.

TMZ broke the story, Jen started serving her 6.5-year prison sentence back in February after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Her sentence has since been reduced by 1 year, and this is her first birthday behind bars.

Drake está añadiendo a su colección de joyas una nueva pieza de personalizada, rindiendole homenaje a su ciudad natal y a sus equipos favoritos de deportes profesionales.

La última adición del rapero es apodada la "Joya de la Corona de Toronto" por el joyero Alex Moss, el creador detrás de la nueva pieza de Drake.

Como se puede ver, Drake ordenó una enorme cadena de diamantes con un colgante helado aún más grande, con logotipos de la NHL Toronto Maple Leafs, la NBA Toronto Raptors y MLB Toronto Blue Jays.

La famosa Torre CN de Toronto también ocupa un lugar destacado, con los Raptors y Blue Jays mascotas que rodean el famoso edificio del horizonte de la ciudad.

Drake hace algunas propuestas, y dice que cualquier equipo de Toronto que gane un campeonato podría llegar a aferrarse al singular bling por toda la temporada, algo así como la tradición del trofeo de la Copa Stanley de hockey.

Los Blue Jays fueron expulsados de la postemporada de béisbol la semana pasada sin ganar un partido, pero hay esperanza para los Maple Leafs y Raptors. Las temporadas de la NHL y la NBA apenas están comenzando.

Drake's adding to his jewelry collection with a new piece of custom bling, paying homage to his hometown and his favorite pro sports teams.

Champagne Papi's latest addition is dubbed the "Crown Jewel of Toronto" by celeb jeweler Alex Moss, the creator behind Drake's new piece.

As you see, Drake ordered a huge diamond chain with an even bigger iced-out pendant ... featuring logos for the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA's Toronto Raptors and MLB's Toronto Blue Jays.

Toronto's famed CN Tower is also featured prominently ... with the Raptors and Blue Jays mascots surrounding the famous building from the city skyline.

Drake's dangling some pretty big carrots with all these carats ... he says any Toronto team that wins a championship gets to hang on to the bling for the entire offseason ... kind of like hockey's Stanley Cup trophy tradition.

The Blue Jays got bounced from postseason baseball last week without winning a game, but there's hope for the Maple Leafs and Raptors ... the NHL and NBA seasons are just getting started.

Floyd Mayweather felt compelled to help after watching the Hamas terror attack, so the boxing legend arranged to send his private plane, chock-full of supplies, to the front lines in Israel.

TMZ Sports is told Floyd, who teamed up with a relief organization in Israel, arranged to send "Air Mayweather" to the Middle Eastern country this weekend ... and deliver supplies.

We're told they're planning to bring everything from food and water to bulletproof vests for the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and civilians.

Mayweather's pilots, AJ Ramey, Chris Javier, Sam Kniskern, and Freeman Blakney, will be flying the plane as they trek thousands of miles across the world.

It's not the first time Floyd's helped in a time of disaster. In fact, over the summer, he helped 70 families with food, shelter, and transportation after the Maui fires.

While many celebs and athletes have spoken out since the weekend's horrific attacks, Floyd's one of the most prominent.

Also, while some famous people have attempted to appease all sides, Mayweather has made it clear ... he's firmly with the Israelis.

"I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes."

"This is not a time for politics. This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!"

In a follow-up post on social media, Mayweather again reiterated his support, and condemned terrorism.

Floyd Mayweather se sintió obligado a ayudar después de ver el ataque terrorista de Hamás, por lo que la leyenda del boxeo decidió organizar el envío de su avión privado, repleto de suministros, a las líneas en el frente de Israel.

En TMZ Sportz nos han dicho que Floyd, que se asoció con una organización de ayuda en Israel, está organizando el envío del vuelo "Air Mayweather" al país de Medio Oriente este fin de semana, así como la entrega de suministros.

Nos dicen que están planeando llevar de todo, desde comida y agua hasta chalecos antibalas para las IDF (Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel) y los civiles.

Los pilotos de Mayweather, AJ Ramey, Chris Javier, Sam Kniskern y Freeman Blakney, pilotarán el avión mientras recorren miles de kilómetros por todo el mundo.

No es la primera vez que Floyd ayuda en una catástrofe. De hecho, durante el verano, le dio una mano a 70 familias con comida, refugio y transporte después de los incendios de Maui.

Aunque muchos famosos y deportistas se han pronunciado tras los terribles atentados del fin de semana, Floyd ha sido uno de los más destacados.

Mientras algunas celebridades han intentado apaciguar los ánimos entre todas las partes, Mayweather ha dejado claro que está firmemente con los israelíes.

"Estoy con Israel contra los terroristas de Hamás. Hamás no representa al pueblo de Palestina, pero es un grupo terrorista que atenta contra personas inocentes. Yo defiendo a todos los seres humanos y deseo el regreso sano y salvo de todos los estadounidenses e israelíes y de cualquier persona que haya sido secuestrada como rehén durante estos horribles crímenes de guerra."

"Este no es un momento para la política. Este es un momento para la seguridad ante todo. Dios bendiga a Estados Unidos. Dios bendiga a Israel. Dios bendiga a la humanidad".

En una publicación posterior en las redes sociales, Mayweather volvió a reiterar su apoyo y condenó el terrorismo.

Mary Lou Retton -- an Olympic gold-winning gymnast  -- is currently fighting for her life in the ICU ... this according to her daughter, who says her mom is battling a rare form of pneumonia.

McKenna Kelley shared the sad news on Tuesday via her Instagram story with a photo of a SpotFund account that she started for Retton's medical costs.

"Please help my mom continue to fight," Kelley said in the post.

The fundraiser says the 55-year-old former athlete is unable to breathe on her own due to the rare form of pneumonia.

"Out of respect for her and her privacy, I will not disclose all details," Keller said on the page. "However, I will disclose that she not insured."

"We ask that if you could help in any way, that 1) you PRAY! and 2) if you could help us with finances for the hospital bill."

Kelley added, "ANYTHING, absolutely anything, would be so helpful for my family and my mom. Thank y’all so very much!"

The fundraiser has a goal of $50k and as of Tuesday, over 79 donors have contributed.

"If anyone can WIN we know it’s YOU! GEAUX MARYLOU!" one fan said on the page. "We are praying hard for you from La!"

Retton was a massive star in gymnastics ... in fact, she made history as the first American woman to win the all-around gold in the 1984 Olympics. She also won two silvers and bronzes that same year.

After retiring, she was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 1997 and was the first woman to be selected into the Houston Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.

Mary Lou Retton —una gimnasta ganadora del oro olímpico— está actualmente luchando por su vida en la UCI, esto de acuerdo a su hija, quien dice que su madre está luchando contra una forma rara de neumonía.

McKenna Kelley compartió la triste noticia el martes a través de su historia de Instagram con una foto de una cuenta SpotFund que ella comenzó para los gastos médicos de Retton.

"Por favor, ayuden a mi mamá a seguir luchando", dijo Kelley en el post.

La recaudación de fondos dice que la ex atleta de 55 años no puede respirar por sí misma debido a la rara forma de neumonía.

"Por respeto a ella y a su privacidad, no revelaré todos los detalles", dijo Keller en la página. "Sin embargo, revelaré que ella no tiene seguro".

"Les pedimos que si pueden ayudar de alguna manera, que 1) ¡OREN! y 2) si pueden ayudarnos con las finanzas para la factura del hospital".

Kelley añadió: "CUALQUIER cosa, absolutamente cualquier cosa, sería de gran ayuda para mi familia y mi madre. Muchísimas gracias a todos".

La recaudación de fondos tiene una meta de $50k, y hasta el martes, más de 79 donantes han contribuido.

"¡Si alguien puede GANAR sabemos que eres TÚ! GEAUX MARYLOU!", dijo un fan en la página. "¡Estamos rezando mucho por ti desde Los Ángeles!".

Retton era una reconocida estrella en la gimnasia, de hecho, hizo historia como la primera mujer estadounidense en ganar el oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1984. También ganó dos medallas de plata y bronce ese mismo año.

Después de retirarse, fue incluida en el Salón Internacional de la Fama de la Gimnasia en 1997 y fue la primera mujer en ser seleccionada en el Salón de la Fama de los Deportes de Houston en 2020.

Arthur Blank is stepping up in a huge way, donating $750k to hospitals and medics in Israel ... all to help those maimed in the Hamas terror attacks.

The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation made the announcement of the incredibly generous gift on Tuesday, announcing the funds would go to two medical centers near the Israeli/Gaza border, as well as an organization that supports thousands of volunteer medics across the country.

"The unimaginable, distressing terrorist attacks on Israel that have resulted in death, injury and trauma for scores of people over the past few days are an attack on all humanity, and there is no place in this world for the horrific violence we have witnessed," Arthur said in a statement released by his organization.

Blank, who is Jewish, co-founded Home Depot in the late '70s, and bought the Falcons in 2002. With a net worth around $7.5 billion, per Forbes, AB is one of the richest people in the world.

In addition to the money going to the Barzilai Medical Center, a frontline hospital, and Soroka Medical Center, a trauma facility, in southern Israel, Blank's donation will also go towards supplying United Hatzalah's medical professionals with protective equipment (vests and helmets), as well as medical supplies like oxygen tanks, defibrillators, and bandages.

Three-quarters of a million is generous, but it sounds like Arthur may even donate more, calling the $750k an "initial emergency grant," saying they'd be working with other relief groups to "identify areas of most critical need for additional support."

Deion Sanders is hoping Shedeur Sanders cashes in on his now-famous watch celebration ... telling media members Tuesday his son's ready for a "lucrative" deal.

The Colorado star quarterback has been hitting the move -- one in which he shows off a timepiece on his left wrist after making big plays -- for weeks now ... but after he flashed it following an epic victory over Arizona State on Saturday, it took off.

Players from all over the NFL -- including superstars like Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Davante Adams -- copied it both before and after games this weekend.

And, after DJ Khaled dubbed it "The Shedeur" earlier this year ... Deion says he's now hoping his 21-year-old boy can pad his bank account soon over it all.

"It's hilarious to me because he and I joke about it on a daily basis," Coach Prime said. "We just got to get him a lucrative watch deal. He can't keep doing it for free. He can't keep doing it for nothing."

"We gotta capitalize now," he added with a smile. "He is my son. We gotta capitalize on the moment!"

Good news for Shedeur ... the NCAA's name, image and likeness rules will allow him to get any such deal that comes forward.

One of Michael Jackson's iconic clothing items is hitting the auction block -- and although it's a somewhat lesser-known one ... it'll probably demand a king's ransom anyway.

We're talking about the black and white leather jacket MJ wore during one of his "Pepsi Generation" ads in 1984. No, it's not the infamous ad where he burned himself on set -- it's the one where he's dancing in the streets with a bunch of kids and others.

This was the first Pepsi commercial Mike did ... which makes this custom-made piece he wore on set all the more special -- and apparently, quite valuable too. It's up for grabs starting Nov. 10 through the Propstore -- and we're told it could fetch anywhere from $230k to $460,000. Considering this was once on Mike's own body, probably closer to the latter.

As far as how it ended up making its way toward a public sale ... the jacket was actually gifted to a guy named Wendell Thompson way back in the day -- whose father was a cosmetologist who worked with MJ. Wendell says he actually received the jacket straight from MJ in 1983 (before the ad even aired) during a run-in with the King of Pop in Orlando.

We're told was there during the grand opening of MJ's personal suite at Disney World's Hotel Royal Plaza -- which was a huge deal at the time. Ribbon-cutting and the whole shebang.

Anyway, Wendell says he's held onto this cherished item for ages now -- but at this point, he's ready to pass it on and reap the benefits ... all with the aim of using the cash to set up his kids and family in his will, hoping this will set a solid foundation for all of them.

Considering this thing is expected to go for almost half a million dollars, we'd say that's almost guaranteed to happen. Wendell says he hopes the new owner can enjoy the jacket as much as he has ... noting he has fond memories with it.

A rare collectible indeed, and pretty soon ... it can be yours. If you're ballin', that is.

Would you spend nearly $500k on a Michael Jackson Pepsi ad jacket? Vote below.

Una de las prendas de vestir icónicas de Michael Jackson estará disponible en una subasta.

Se trata de la chaqueta de cuero blanco y negro que MJ lució durante uno de sus anuncios de la "Generación Pepsi" en 1984. No, no es el infame anuncio en el que se quemó a sí mismo en el set, es aquel en el que está bailando en las calles con un montón de niños y bailarines.

Este fue el primer comercial de Pepsi que Mike hizo, lo que hace que esta pieza hecha a medida que llevaba en el set sea aún más especial y valiosa. Estará a la venta a partir del 10 de noviembre a través de Propstore y nos dicen que podría costar entre 230.000 y 460.000 dólares. Teniendo en cuenta que una vez estuvo en el cuerpo de Mike, probablemente se acerque más a esta última cifra.

En cuanto a cómo terminó haciendo su camino hacia una subasta, la chaqueta en realidad se la regalaron a un tipo llamado Wendell Thompson, cuyo padre era un cosmetólogo que trabajó con MJ. Wendell dice que recibió la chaqueta directamente de MJ en 1983 (antes de que el anuncio incluso saliera al aire) durante un encuentro con el Rey del Pop en Orlando.

Nos han dicho que estuvo allí durante la gran inauguración de la suite personal de MJ en el Hotel Royal Plaza de Disney World, lo cual fue todo un acontecimiento en aquella época.

De todos modos, Wendell dice que ha guardado este preciado objeto desde hace años, pero que ya está listo para pasarlo y cosechar los beneficios, todo con el objetivo de utilizar el dinero para establecer a sus hijos y familia en su testamento, con la esperanza de que esto establecerá una base sólida para todos ellos.

Teniendo en cuenta que se espera que se venda por casi medio millón de dólares, diríamos que eso está casi garantizado. Wendell dice que espera que el nuevo propietario pueda disfrutar de la chaqueta tanto como lo ha hecho él... señalando que tiene buenos recuerdos con ella.
