Britney Spears "Dirrty" indirecta a Christina Aguilera podría hacer banco para el comprador de su infancia Louisiana casa.

Como informamos recientemente, la antigua casa de Brit en Kentwood está en el mercado por $1.2M luego de que el padre de la estrella, Jamie Spears, la vendió dos años y medio antes por solo $289K.

Los muebles de la casa de tres dormitorios y tres baños se han conservado intactos, incluyendo una declaración muy polémica grabada en la puerta, respecto a su relación con Christina.

"Christina apesta, Brit manda" está garabateado con lápiz negro en una puerta de madera que, si se llega a subastar, podría ver a los fans soltar ENORMES sumas de dinero para poner sus manos en los raros y únicos recuerdos de los noventa.

Bobby Livingston, vicepresidente ejecutivo de RR Auction, le dice a TMZ que la puerta podría llegar a costar entre 20 y 30 mil dólares.

Jared Mast, responsable de cultura pop de Goldin Auctions, dice que primero habría que autentificar la escritura para saber su valor real. Si ese mensaje es de puño y letra de Britney, él podría ver la puerta a la venta de entre $10.000 y $20.000 teniendo en cuenta los antecedentes.

Ed Kosinski de Gotta Have Rock and Roll calcula que podría ir entre los $20 y $25K, mientras que Darren Julien, CEO de Julien's Auctions, nos especula que iría por solo $4 o 6K.

Some alleged culprits turned to heavy machinery to carry out their heist ... taking a construction backhoe and digging right into the store.

Check out the wild clip, which reportedly took place Monday morning at an ampm store in Oakland, CA ... the excavation equipment blasts through the wall, with the store's clerk barely gettin' out of there before the crooks start the teardown.

While the shop's glass was bulletproof, it clearly wasn't backhoe-proof -- after getting the claw through the wall, the machine then goes after the ATM inside. Eventually, the thieves in question chain up the ATM, attached to a truck outside, and make their getaway.

Store owner Ali Abdulla told ABC7 there's "at least $70,000" worth of damages after the excavation. Ali says he's frustrated by what happened to his store, and thinks the only way to run a shop in his area these days is to "sleep in your store and stay locked and loaded with an AK-47 and just be ready because the police is not coming on time."

He notes, however, that he isn't putting the blame on Oakland PD -- claiming there simply aren't enough cops working.

Kroy Biermann's failure to respond to a repo case filed against him has finally reached its breaking point -- 'cause a judge just ruled he's gotta fork over his Rolls-Royce.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, the former NFLer had a default judgment entered against him over the luxury car ... which he'd been leasing since 2020. BMW alleged he'd recently ghosted them on payments ... and filed a lawsuit so it could repossess the sweet ride.

Now, after months of no reply from Kroy ... a judge has signed off in favor of BMW, ordering Kroy to surrender possession of the Rolls stat.

In the judge's order, KB is instructed to hand over the vehicle to law enforcement in Fulton County where he lives so BMW can reclaim it.

It's unclear what Kroy's gonna do ... considering he hasn't uttered a peep in his defense in this case -- something tells us a tow truck might be pulling up to his crib in the near future ... and haul the car away.

Remember, BMW claimed Kroy had agreed to a 3-year lease with them -- from 2020 to 2023 -- and would pay $5,297.64/month ... for a total of $190k. However, the company alleged he'd stopped paying altogether -- with them saying the last sign of dough arrived in Sept. 2022.

Kroy's attorney spoke to us when this suit was first filed ... and the response was very much, it is what it is. Kroy acknowledges he's in dire financial straits right now amid his ongoing divorce with Kim Zolciak -- and it sounds like he's got bigger fish to fry besides a Rolls.

Their fancy house, for example, comes to mind ... with the bank moving towards foreclosure and Kim/Kroy trying to sell it off first in hopes of recouping some cash to handle the rest of their affairs.

With everything else going on in Kroy's life at the moment, he can afford to lose the Rolls.

El fracaso de Kroy Biermann en el caso de repo presentado en su contra finalmente ha llegado a su punto límite, porque un juez acaba de dictaminar que tiene que entregar su Rolls-Royce.

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, el ex NFL tenía una sentencia en rebeldía contra él sobre el carro de lujo que había estado alquilando desde 2020. BMW alegó que había problemas con los pagos y presentó una demanda para que pudiera recuperar el lujoso carro.

Ahora, luego de meses sin respuesta de Kroy, un juez ha firmado a favor de BMW, ordenando Kroy a entregar la posesión del Rolls.

En la orden del juez, Kroy tiene instrucciones de entregar el vehículo a las fuerzas del orden en el condado de Fulton, donde vive para que BMW pueda reclamarlo.

No está claro lo que va a hacer Kroy, teniendo en cuenta que no ha pronunciado ni pío en su defensa en este caso. Algo nos dice una grúa podría aparecer en un futuro próximo llevándose el preciado carro lejos de él.

Recuerde, BMW afirmó que Kroy había acordado un contrato de arrendamiento de tres años con ellos  —de 2020 a 2023— y pagaría 5.297.64 de dólares al mes, por un total de 190k. Sin embargo, la compañía alegó que había dejado de pagar por completo - con ellos diciendo que el último signo de la masa llegó en septiembre de 2022.

El abogado de Kroy habló con nosotros cuando esta demanda fue presentada por primera vez y la respuesta fue más bien en la onda "es lo que es". Kroy reconoce que está en graves apuros financieros en medio de su divorcio en curso con Kim Zolciak y suena como que tiene aún más cosas que proteger.

Su casa de lujo es un buen ejemplo... el banco se mueve hacia la ejecución hipotecaria, mientras Kim y Kroy se mueven para venderlo primero con la esperanza de recuperar algo de dinero y así resolver sus problemas financieros.

Con todo lo demás que está pasando en la vida de Kroy en este momento, puede permitirse el lujo de perder un Rolls.

Jordan Poole is finally addressing the rumors he shelled out half a million bucks on a date with Ice Spice ... and the Washington Wizards guard says it's all fake news!!

The 24-year-old hooper's hilarious denial came during a meet-and-greet with fans this week ... when one young supporter asked him straight-up if there's any truth behind the talk of an extravagant romance with the MC.

"Definitely not," Poole said. "Definitely cap!"

If you're not aware of how this came to be, rapper Cam'ron started the drama back in May when he called out Poole -- then on the Golden State Warriors -- for his playoff performance.

"Jordan Poole, you spent $500,000 on an Ice Spice date," Cam said on his "It Is What It Is" podcast. "You’re a munch and you’re playing like a f***ing munch."

"This is not you from last year, bro. Go back to Milwaukee and figure it the f*** out and get back in the playoffs, 'cause you look crazy."

Fans ran with the $500k rumor ... especially since Ice Spice is one of the hottest female rappers out right now, and Poole had signed a four-year, $140 million extension months prior.

Poole's adamant response should be enough to clear his name of the wild rumor ... but it probably won't stop the internet trolls from sticking to it for entertainment purposes.

Poole's teammate sitting beside him thought his answer was hilarious ... but at least we now know straight from his mouth.

Let's play devil's advocate here -- Poole only denied dropping a ton of dough on a date with IS, so it's entirely possible he DID take her out ... just for much less. But it looks like she's never addressed the rumor in the first place.

Barbara Walters spent a good amount of her life in one of the nicest pads in New York City -- one that went on the market earlier this year ... and which may have a new owner.

You'll recall ... the late news icon's fam put her Manhattan condo up for sale back in April -- this just a few months after she passed away in December 2022 -- and the 5-bed, 6-bath home was listed at the time for $19.75 million, which was well worth it. The place is nice!

Since then, however, it looks like the real estate agents who were working on it ended up dropping the price tag a tad -- and as of right now, it was going for around $17.7 mil.

Somebody has made an offer on the home, and we've confirmed it's under contract -- which means the sale is pending, and should go through ... assuming all goes according to plan. What we don't know is if the would-be buyer ponied up $17.7 million, more ... or less.

If escrow does close, we'll find out in due time through property records -- but if the mystery shopper spent anywhere near what it was priced at ... they got a good deal.

There was a big shindig at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this weekend -- and a crap ton of A-listers showed up ... doing their best impression of a tourist along the way.

The event was a LACMA Art and Film Gala -- sponsored by Gucci -- that was hosted by a trustee of the institution, Eva Chow, and one Leo DiCaprio ... where everyone was coming together Saturday to honor artist Judy Baca, and pat themselves on the back, etc.

In other words, just another reason to get dressed up and step out in La La Land -- and the stars who attended certainly didn't disappoint ... nor did they miss the chance to pose at one of the most iconic IG-friendly spots in L.A., which is normally crawling with sightseers.

Of course, we're talking about the Urban Light display right outside of LACMA's front doors -- and right next to the tar pits there too, which stink to high heaven. A lot going on there!

Anyway, take a peek at who swung by to be fancy and flashy in front of the famed forest of street lamps that folks like to run through and snap pics in front of ... just about everyone got the opportunity to act like an out-of-towner, and they all certainly took it.

Kim K struck a pose, as did Ben and Jen ... and let's not forget Paris Hilton, Salma Hayek, Heidi Klum and Lenny Kravitz, just to name a few. BTW, Lupita N'yongo and Jodie Turner-Smith were both also there ... which is a little awkward considering the Joshua Jackson connection they share lately. Unclear if they crossed paths, but each came off as chill.

At any rate ... looked like a fun night out, and it also seems they booted all the normies. 😅

Un gato callejero ha convertido en millonario a un tipo muy afortunado.

Joshua Smith acaba de obtener un veredicto de 1.375 millones de dólares luego de que un jurado dictaminara que su casero había secuestrado a Frank, su gato.

El hombre de Oregón encontró al gato callejero allá por 2017 y lo acogió en un centro residencial de recuperación de drogas en el que se alojaba. Dos años después, Frank desaparecido y Joshua supo que su casero era el culpable. Según los informes, el propietario confesó y dijo que le dio a Frank a su novia para que lo llevara a un refugio local.

Él demandó y el jurado tardó menos de dos horas para conceder el veredicto. Normalmente en estos casos, el dueño del animal solo podría recuperar el valor real del gato, que sería casi nada. Aunque no hay información disponible, parece que el jurado concedió daños punitivos por mala conducta intencionada.

An alley cat has turned a man who was down on his luck into a millionaire.

Joshua Smith just snagged a $1.375 million verdict after a jury ruled his landlord catnapped Frank, his Cheshire cat.

The Oregon man found the stray back in 2017, and took him in at a drug recovery residential facility where he was staying. Two years later, Frank turned up missing, and Joshua knew ... his landlord was the culprit. The landlord reportedly confessed and said he gave Frank to his girlfriend to take to a local shelter.

He sued, and it took the jury less than 2 hours to award the whopping verdict. Typically in these cases, the animal owner could only recover the actual value of the cat, which would be next to nothing. Although information isn't available, it would appear the jury awarded punitive damages for willful misconduct.

La muerte de Matthew Perry ha vuelto a poner el foco en la dinámica de sus antiguos compañeros de reparto, y una anécdota sobre David Schwimmer está resurgiendo, sobre su gran generosidad con el grupo.

The Guardian desenterró esta dulce historia en las memorias de Perry del año pasado "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing", en la que el fallecido actor cuenta cómo el dinero comenzó a cambiar en el set de 'Friends' mientras filmaban en los años 90.

En su libro, Perry dice que todas las estrellas estaban haciendo alrededor de $22.000 por episodio en la temporada 1, pero en la segunda, Dave y Jennifer Aniston habían comenzado a ganar un poco más, debido a la popularidad de sus personajes Ross y Rachel y su mítico romance.

Cuando llegó la 3ª temporada, Warner Bros quería darles aún más dinero a los dos, ya que eran los favoritos de los fans, pero Schwimmer se opuso en nombre de sus compañeros de reparto. Al parecer, Dave propuso la idea de negociar colectivamente para que todos ganaran lo mismo, aunque eso supusiera un recorte salarial para él y Jen.

Matt dice que eso es lo que terminó pasando y escribe: "David sin duda estaba en una posición en la que podría haber ido por más dinero y no lo hizo. Me gustaría pensar que yo habría hecho lo mismo, pero como un codicioso de 25 años, no estoy seguro de haberlo hecho".

Y añade: "Pero su decisión sirvió para que nos cuidáramos el uno al otro a lo largo de lo que resultaron ser una serie de estresantes negociaciones con la cadena, y nos dio una tremenda cantidad de poder... Tenemos que agradecer a la bondad de David y su astuto sentido de los negocios, lo que nos ofrecieron. Te debo unos 30 millones de dólares, David".

En la octava temporada, Matthew reveló que cada uno de los actores de "Friends" ganaba alrededor de un millón de dólares por episodio y atribuye a Schwimmer el haber establecido ese precedente desde el principio. Al parecer, siguieron negociando los sueldos en grupo a lo largo de los años.

Esta historia, que técnicamente salió el año pasado, se está haciendo popular en este momento y solo nos muestra lo cercanos que eran todos en el set de "Friends", lo que explica la devastación por la repentina pérdida de Perry. TMZ publicó la historia, el actor fue encontrado sin vida el pasado fin de semana en su casa de Los Ángeles.

Como informamos, el elenco asistió a un pequeño funeral privado del actor este viernes cerca de las colinas de Hollywood. Estuvieron junto a su familia y seres queridos, incluyendo sus padres.

Schwimmer, Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc y Lisa Kudrow emitieron un comunicado conjunto sobre el fallecimiento de Perry diciendo que la tragedia era "insondable" y que todavía estaban procesándola como grupo. Desde entonces han pasado relativamente desapercibidos.

Matthew Perry's death has put a renewed focus on the dynamic of his old costars -- and one anecdote about David Schwimmer is resurfacing ... touching on his one-for-all spirit.

The Guardian dug up this sweet tale in Perry's memoir from last year -- 'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing' -- in which the late actor recounts how money started to change on the set of 'Friends' while they were filming back in the '90s.

In his book, MP says all the stars were making about $22,000 an episode for Season 1 -- but by Season 2, Dave and Jennifer Aniston had begun earning a bit more ... on account of their popularity on the show due to the whole Ross/Rachel romance story line.

When Season 3 rolled around, WB wanted to throw even more cash at the 2 of 'em -- as they were now fan faves -- but Schwimmer put his foot down on behalf of his castmates. Apparently, Dave floated the idea of them collectively bargaining together ... so everyone could make the same amount of money, even if it meant a pay cut for him and Jen.

Matt says that's exactly what ultimately happened, writing ... "David had certainly been in a position to go for the most money, and he didn’t. I would like to think that I would have made the same move, but as a greedy 25-year-old, I’m not sure I would have."

He adds, "But his decision served to make us take care of each other through what turned out to be a myriad of stressful network negotiations, and it gave us a tremendous amount of power ... We had David’s goodness, and his astute business sense, to thank for what we had been offered. I owe you about $30m, David."

By Season 8, MP revealed that each of the 'Friends' actors were making about a million bucks an episode ... and he credits Schwimmer with establishing that precedent early. Apparently, they continued to hammer out salary negotiations as a group over the years.

This story, which technically came out last year, is making the rounds right now ... and just speaks to how close the 'Friends' really were on set -- adding to the devastation of Perry's sudden loss. TMZ broke the story ... he was found dead last weekend at his L.A. home.

As we reported ... the cast attended a small, private funeral for Perry Friday near the Hollywood Hills -- as did Perry's family and loved ones, including his parents.

Schwimmer, Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow all released a joint statement addressing Perry's passing ... saying the tragedy was "unfathomable" and that they were still processing it as a group. They've laid relatively low in the days since.

The suspect who snatched Lily Collins' belongings has been identified, law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... with the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. seeking the public's assistance in catching the thief.

Andreea Catalina Rosca has been unmasked as the alleged perp who stole the "Emily in Paris" star's possessions, including her wedding band, engagement ring and some electronics.

An active warrant is now out for Rosca's arrest in connection with removing jewelry and credit cards from lockers in a hotel spa and yoga studio .... and using the stolen items to create fake IDs and purchase over $67K in jewelry.

Keeping busy in her alleged criminal pursuits, she also holds a fake Washington State ID card under the name "Nicole Morri."

Andreea, aka Nicole, is described as a female white adult, approximately 34 years old, 5' 1", 100 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes.

With links to the Romanian Organized Theft Groups, she's known to travel the states committing similar crimes. Anyone with info on her whereabouts is urged to contact the West Hollywood Sheriff Station.

Remember ... TMZ first revealed Lily fell victim to major theft when her relaxing spa trip ended with over $10,000 of her valuables swiped from her locker.

El sospechoso que arrebató las pertenencias de Lily Collins ha sido identificado, según cuentan fuentes policiales a TMZ. De hecho, el departamento del sheriff de Los Angeles está pidiendo apoyo del servicio público para capturar al ladrón.

Andreea Catalina Rosca ha sido desenmascarado como el presunto autor del robo de las posesiones de la estrella de "Emily en París", incluyendo su anillo de bodas, su anillo de compromiso y algunos aparatos electrónicos.

Ahora hay una orden de arresto activa contra Rosca por la sustracción de joyas y tarjetas de crédito de las taquillas de un spa de hotel y un estudio de yoga, así como por el uso de objetos robados para crear identificaciones falsas y comprar más de 67.000 dólares en joyas.

Manteniéndose ocupada en sus actividades delictivas, también posee un documento de identidad falso del Estado de Washington con el nombre de "Nicole Morri".

Andreea, alias Nicole, se describe como una mujer adulta blanca, de unos 34 años, 5 pies 1 pulgada, 100 libras, pelo negro y ojos marrones.

Vinculada a los Grupos Rumanos de Robo Organizado, se sabe que viaja por los Estados Unidos cometiendo delitos similares. Cualquier persona con información sobre su paradero se insta a ponerse en contacto con la estación de West Hollywood Sheriff.

Recuerden, TMZ reveló por primera vez que Lily fue víctima de un robo importante cuando su relajante viaje a un spa terminó con "más de $10.000" robados en objetos de valor.

Artículos relacionados con el asesinato de John F. Kennedy están ahora a la venta, 60 años después de que fuera asesinado, incluyendo objetos del infame  lugar donde fue abatido e incluso del pasado sombrío del asesino.

RR Auction tiene 80 objetos diferentes a la venta que se relacionan con el asesinato de JFK en 1963, y uno de los lotes es una sección de una valla de madera del montículo que marcaba la ruta del desfile del expresidente.

Eso no es todo, la casa de subastas también está vendiendo una ventana original de Texas School Book Depository, el mismo edificio desde donde Lee Harvey Oswald disparó y mató a JFK. Las ventanas originales del edificio fueron reemplazados en los años 80, por lo que es extra significativo.

También se incluye en la subasta la primera pistola de Oswald, que fue vendida a su hermano por $10 y el recibo de la llamada telefónica de Oswald desde la cárcel. Esta llamada se hizo justo 1 día después del asesinato de JFK.

Hay además un montón de joyas ocultas, perfectas para cualquier aficionado a la historia. Un postor afortunado puede incluso asegurar el diario personal del expresidente a partir de 1945, que cuenta un montón de detalles de su vida antes de convertirse en Presidente.
