Cardi B sale en defensa de Will Smith en medio del rumor de que tuvo relaciones sexuales con Duane Martin  —algo que él niega, por cierto— y también está yendo detrás de la bloguera que comenzó todo este astuno.

La rapera hizo un live de Insta el miércoles por la noche para hablar de la historia. Ella realmente no cree en la veracidad de los dichos. Dice que Will no es problemático y que no merece este trato.

Cardi trae a colación su signo (Libra) y dice que cree que los Libras están constantemente siendo probados por otros hasta que finalmente se rompen, aparentemente haciendo referencia a la infame bofetada en los Oscars.

Básicamente, ella ve injusto que la gente critique a alguien que está siendo empujado al límite. También cree que es terrible que la gente pueda subirse a una gran plataforma y decir cualquier cosa sobre cualquiera y que tenga una gran repercusión, aunque las cosas que diga sea mentira.

Aquí es donde se dirige a Tasha K que, por cierto, es la misma mujer que demandó con éxito por difamación. Recordemos que Tasha técnicamente le debe a Cardi alrededor de $3.4 millones.

Fue hace solo un par de semanas que Cardi se mostró comprensiva respecto a tratar de hacer cumplir ese pago, pero ahora las cosas han cambiado, diciendo que algunas personas nunca cambian.

Ella arremete contra Tasha por permitir que el supuesto ex amigo/asistente de Will llegue a su podcast y haga una acusación tan extravagante y dice que tiene que parar.

Tasha sigue metiéndose en problemas, recordemos que R. Kelly la acaba de demandar y ahora Jada dijo que una demanda se avecina, así que podría verse de nuevo como acusada.

La casa de la infancia de Britney Spears en Louisiana podría estar en el mercado, pero eso no significa que la cantante esté buscando revivir su pasado. Sabemos esto porque nos informan que no está interesada en comprarla.

TMZ publicó la historia primero, la propiedad de $1.2 millones en Kentwood saltó al mercado a principios de este mes, casi dos años y medio después de que fuera vendida por sus padres separados, Jamie Spears, por solo $289k.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos informan que la estrella del pop no tiene planes o interés en la compra de su antiguo hogar. Nos dicen que es consciente de que está a la venta, pero que no tuvo ningún tipo de reacción, ni positiva ni negativa cuando se enteró.

¡No son solo las cuatro paredes que significan mucho en la historia de Britney, como informamos, el lugar se vende con algunos de sus muebles originales, incluyendo una puerta que tiene "Christina apesta, Brit manda" escrito en ella. Obviamente refiriéndose a Christina Agulera.

También tiene algunas de las obras de arte de Britney, un mini-santuario a NSYNC e incluso un mensaje de la cantante grabado en hormigón.

Britney Spears' childhood home in Louisiana remains on the market, and well within her price range, but that doesn't mean the singer's lookin' to relive her past.

TMZ broke the story, the $1.2 million Kentwood property went on the market earlier this month ... nearly 2 and a half years after it was sold by her father, Jamie Spears, for only $289k.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Brit has no plans or interest in purchasing her family's old pad. We're told she's aware it's for sale, but didn't really have much of a reaction -- positive or negative -- when she found out about it.

As we reported, the place is being sold with some of its original furnishings, including a door that has "Christina sucks, Brit rules" written on it ... an apparent dig at Christina Aguilera!

It also has some of Britney's art, a mini-shrine to NSYNC, and even a message from the singer etched in concrete.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis was just found guilty of swindling the NBA out of a ton of cash through the league's healthcare plan ... after authorities claim he accepted reimbursement for medical treatments he never received.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York announced the update in the case on Wednesday ... saying a jury determined the former Boston Celtics champion -- as well as fellow ex-NBAer Will Bynum -- were involved in a criminal scheme to defraud the NBA's Players' Health and Benefit Welfare Plan.

As we previously reported, a number of NBA alums -- including Darius Miles, Shannon Brown, Tony Allen, Jamario Moon, Tony Wroten, Melvin Ely and Ruben Patterson -- were accused of lining their pockets through the scheme by filing bogus claims for reimbursement with the league's healthcare plan.

Prosecutors previously claimed Terrence Williams, a 2009 NBA Draft first-round pick, was the mastermind behind it all.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams released a statement ... saying, "While many of the more than 20 defendants convicted in this case were well-known NBA stars, their conduct was otherwise a typical fraudulent scheme designed to defraud the NBA’s health care plan and net the defendants over $5 million in illicit profits."

Worth noting -- Davis reportedly made more than $33.1 million over the course of his career.

Balenciaga está recibiendo críticas por el nuevo artículo de diseño que la compañía está vendiendo, una falda hecha de una toalla de algodón por la módica suma de $925.

La gente en redes sociales ha hecho y desecho con la peculiar prenda.

La falda/toalla de $925 es parte de la colección Primavera 2024 de la marca Balenciaga. La empresa comenzó a tomar pedidos por adelantado el martes y mucha gente se pregunta qué diablos está pasando.

Algunos tuits dice: "¿No es Balenciaga una falda toalla? 😭 ¿Quién es el director creativo de allí?" y "Balenciaga está vendiendo una toalla envuelta alrededor de la cintura de alguien como una falda por $925 😂😂😂 por favor váyanse a la mier...".

Balenciaga dice que la falda/toalla de 925 dólares se sujeta con dos botones en el interior de la cintura y un cinturón ajustable con una hebilla en el interior hecha en Italia y tiene que ser limpiada en seco.

El modelo en el sitio web de Balenciaga lleva la falda de toalla sobre un par de pantalones de carga de $1.950 y una sudadera con capucha con cremallera de $1.000.

Naturalmente, algunos usuarios de las redes sociales dicen que pueden lograr el mismo look por mucho menos, como una toalla de $5 en el Target.

El precio de 925 dólares parece ser la principal queja aquí, pero una mujer dice ... ¿"UNA FALDA TOALLA COMO UNA DECLARACIÓN DE MODA"?  Por favor THATS SO UGLY 😭 why balenciaga ?????".

Balenciaga is being hung out to dry for a new designer item the company is selling ... a skirt made from a cotton towel with a whopping $925 price tag.

The high fashion house is being dragged online for its pricy new towel skirt, with folks on social media having a field day at Balenciaga's expense.

The $925 towel skirt is part of the brand's Spring 2024 Collection, Balenciaga started taking preorders Tuesday and lots of folks are wondering what the heck is going on.

Among the mean tweets ... "Nah Balenciaga a towel skirt? 😭 who the f*** is the creative director over there" and "Balenciaga is selling a towel wrapped around somebody’s waist as a skirt for $925 😂😂😂 please be f****** for real."

Balenciaga says the $925 towel skirt is held up by 2 buttons inside the waistline and an adjustable belt with a buckle inside ... and it's made in Italy and has to be dry cleaned.

The model on the Balenciaga website is wearing the towel skirt over a pair of $1,950 cargo pants and a $1,000 zip-up hoodie.

Naturally, some social media users say they can achieve the same look for way less ... like a $5 towel from Target.

The $925 price tag seems to be the main gripe here, but one woman says ... "A TOWEL SKIRT AS A FASHION STATEMENT?!?!  Please THATS SO UGLY 😭 why balenciaga ?????"

One of the most important pieces of memorabilia from Victor Wembanyama's NBA career -- a jersey he wore during his first-ever Spurs game -- has just gone up for auction ... and so far, bidders are showing they really want the item.

In its first day on the block, the threads that the 19-year-old phenom rocked in San Antonio's season-opener on Oct. 25 have already received 25 bids .... with a high $50,000 so far.

Experts at Sotheby's -- which is hosting the auction as part of its new partnership with the NBA -- previously anticipated the jersey would sell for between $80,000-$120,000 ... though if the early interest is any indication, it seems there's a good chance it could exceed that figure.

Of course, it shouldn't surprise many if it does ... given the start of Wemby's career.

The 7-foot-4 power forward -- who many have touted as the best prospect since LeBron James -- has tallied 19.7 points per game to go along with 8.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.4 blocks through his first 10 contests -- all historic numbers.

As for how he did the night he wore the jersey that's up for sale ... Wembanyama had 15 points, five rebounds, two assists and a block, although San Antonio ended up losing to Dallas.

The jersey -- listed as size 52 with a plus-4 length -- will stay up on the auction block until Nov. 21 ... giving collectors about seven more days to scrounge together all their change to make their best run at buying it.

Looks like Kim Zolciak is trying to chip away at her and Kroy Biermann's mountain of debt ... 'cause she's unloading some of her designer wear online in hopes of making a profit.

Kim listed handbags, shoes and more Tuesday -- but it ain't garage sale prices -- she's charging $5,900 for a Chanel Shearling bag, and $4,500 for a grey Louis Vuitton purse!!!

She's also asking $1,250 for a pair of her Gucci mink heels and $600 for her Balmain plastic heels ... so if ya want it, you better bring some serious dough.

The impromptu sale might not just be proof she's working off that debt -- it could also be another sign that things between Kim and Kroy are positive yet again ... kinda like a peace offering to her estranged hubby amid their divorce.

As we reported, Kroy was selling off some of his stuff to tackle their financial woes in the past, and he asked Kim to do the same. However, we were told she sold off some of her things and pocketed the cash for herself instead of helping pay off the debt.

She's also recently changed her IG handle to include "Biermann" as her last name, and they were out to dinner over the weekend to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary ... an outing you likely wouldn't do with someone you're actively divorcing.

Hopefully, Kim's new sale can help get them outta the hole ... and it better -- because her swag ain't cheap!

Parece que Kim Zolciak está tratando de disminuir la montaña de deudas que tiene con Kroy Biermann. Pensamos esto porque se está desasiendo de varios artículos de moda diseñador en linea.

¡Kim puso a la venta bolsos, zapatos y más el martes!, pero no son precios de venta de garaje, ella está cobrando 5.900 dólares por un bolso de Chanel Shearling y 4.500 dólares por un bolso gris de Louis Vuitton.

También está pidiendo 1.250 dólares por un par de sus tacones de visón de Gucci y 600 por sus tacones de plástico Balmain. Así que si algo de esto te interesa no va a ser nada barato.

La venta improvisada no solo podría ser una prueba de que está trabajando para afrontar su deuda, también podría ser otra señal de que las cosas entre Kim y Kroy van bien de nuevo, algo así como una ofrenda de paz a su marido en medio de su divorcio.

Como informamos, Kroy estaba vendiendo algunas de sus cosas para hacer frente a sus problemas financieros en el pasado, y le pidió a Kim que hiciera lo mismo. Sin embargo, nos dijeron que ella vendió algunas de sus cosas y se embolsó el dinero para sí misma en lugar de ayudar a pagar la deuda.

Ella también ha cambiado recientemente su IG incluyendo "Biermann" como su apellido, y estaban cenando el fin de semana para celebrar su aniversario número 12 de boda... algo que probablemente no haría con alguien que está divorciando activamente.

¡Con suerte, la nueva venta de Kim puede ayudar a sacarlos del agujero! Lo cual no sería nada de malo, ya que no será nada barato.

Formula 1's biggest stars can find out why it's called Sin City this weekend ... 'cause one Nevada brothel is opening its doors and offering each driver free sex ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix!!

TMZ Sports is told ... famous Chicken Ranch brothel workers Addison Gray and Alice Little are really excited to welcome the race to their home turf for the first time since 1982 ... and they want to make sure every driver leaves Vegas happy.

We're told the licensed sex workers are offering a special one-on-one session at no charge for all the guys on the grid ... just in case they want to see some action prior to Saturday's race.

"It’s Formula 1 fever in Las Vegas this month and we’re all psyched up for the big event," Little told us.

"Any driver that wants to get their hearts racing and celebrate the F1 with me and Addison will be treated to 100% complimentary coitus."

Drivers aren't the only ones gettin' perks -- Gray and Little said they're also giving a 50% off deal for anyone flocking to the desert for the festivities.

"Our discount will help Vegas visitors and residents blow off some steam with a couple of generous ladies so that they can chill out during race week," Little said.

"Everyone who made F1 in Vegas possible deserves a break, and we’re here to provide some well-oiled appreciation."

Gray said the Grand Prix also needs a little bit of spice anyway ... especially since they stopped using Grid Girls years ago.

"Since Formula 1 banned their fabulous grid girls in 2018, the events have been overwhelmingly lacking in much-needed sex appeal," Gray said.

"Our discount isn't just a gesture of love for F1; it's an invitation for fans to revel in an experience where sex appeal is celebrated, not sidelined. Because in our world, glamour isn't forbidden; it's the star of the show!"

Johnny Manziel's rise to superstardom was nothing short of a movie ... and if Hollywood ever decides to actually turn his story into a real flick, the Heisman winner knows exactly who he wants to play him!!

Of course, Johnny's journey to becoming a household name as a college quarterback was filled with plenty of drama and excitement during his time at Texas A&M -- from partying and arrests to huge victories and hanging out with celebs like Justin Bieber and Drake, the guy couldn't keep out of the headlines if he tried.

Manziel's ups and downs were covered in a popular Netflix documentary ... and given that project's success, it wouldn't be surprising if a studio gives the green light on a feature film about Johnny down the line.

If that day comes, the former NFLer already has a guy in mind to take on the role -- Miles Teller.

"We've met a couple times in L.A. and stuff," Johnny told Broadcast Boys. "It's been talked about before. So, we'll go Miles Teller. It's safe to say."

While Teller is an accomplished actor, it's worth mentioning he's already about 15 years older than Johnny was when he tore it up in College Station ... but hey, it's Hollywood. Stranger things have happened.

R. Kelly va a llevar al Tío Sam a los tribunales, porque afirma que funcionarios de algunas prisiones federales filtraron un montón de información privada suya a un bloguero de Internet que ventiló muchos de sus trapos sucios.

El cantante encarcelado acaba de presentar una demanda contra el gobierno de EE.UU., a un puñado de trabajadores de la Oficina de Prisiones y a Tasha K. Según él, todos estaban confabulados para dar a conocer sus asuntos privados mientras estaba en custodia en Chicago durante su caso.

Kelly señala con el dedo a tres funcionarios anónimos BOP en la prisión que estaba detenido, alegando que accedieron a su sistema interno que documenta lo que Kelly estaba haciendo dentro de sus paredes, incluyendo la correspondencia de correo electrónico, llamadas privadas, registros de visitantes, etc.

Kelly y su abogado, Jennifer Bonjean, creen que los funcionarios llegaron a un acuerdo con Tasha K para suministrarle información personal de Kelly, que sospecha que podría haber sido a cambio de dinero en efectivo. Tasha ya ha respondido a estas afirmaciones —que Kelly hizo públicas mucho antes de esta demanda— y ha negado estar implicada en ninguna actividad ilegal.

Kelly afirma que la información permitió Tasha - que tiene un gran seguimiento de YouTube - para publicar piezas poco favorecedoras sobre Kelly ... que dice que ha dañado su reputación, invadido su privacidad y le causó angustia emocional indebida.

Kelly dice que el gobierno de EE.UU. fue negligente al permitir que su personal de la prisión accediera y comparta esta información, y ahora, él está pidiendo que paguen.

A propósito, las reclamaciones que Kelly está haciendo aquí se remontan a 2019 más o menos. Desde que fue condenado en su caso de Chicago, ha sido trasladado a una instalación federal en Carolina del Norte, donde está cumpliendo su larga condena.

R. Kelly is taking Uncle Sam to court -- 'cause he claims federal prison officials leaked a bunch of his private info to an Internet blogger ... who aired a lot of his laundry.

The incarcerated singer just filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government, a handful of Bureau of Prisons workers, and Tasha K ... all of whom, he claims, were in cahoots to publicize his private matters while he was in custody out in Chicago during his case there.

Kelly points the finger at three unnamed BOP officials at the prison he was being held at, alleging they accessed their internal system that documented what Kelly was doing within their walls ... including email correspondence, private calls, visitor logs, etc.

Kelly and his lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, believe the officials struck an agreement with Tasha K to supply her with Kelly's personal info ... which he suspects might've been done for cash. Tasha has already addressed these claims -- which Kelly publicly made well before this suit -- and denied being mixed up in any illegal activity.

Kelly claims the info allowed Tasha -- who has a big YouTube following -- to publish unflattering pieces about RK ... which he says has hurt his rep, invaded his privacy and caused him undue emotional distress.

Kelly says the U.S. government was negligent in allowing its prison personnel to allegedly access and share this info ... and now he's asking for major damages.

BTW, the claims Kelly is making here date back to 2019 or so. Since being convicted in his Chicago case, he has been moved to a federal facility in North Carolina -- where he's serving his lengthy sentence.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez look damn comfortable in the country and in the city -- $160 billion will do that for ya -- as they posed for a western-themed spread in Vogue ... but also partied with their celeb pals in Bev Hills.

Their latest engagement party went down Sunday night ... a private affair at the home of Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg with a serious who's who guest list.

The guests of honor mingled with Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, Mick Jagger, Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Rock, David Geffen and Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse.

TMZ has learned the couple invited Jewel to perform at the event, and guests partied in a throwback disco dancing room. BTW, a few more from the mega guest list -- Jessica Alba, Salma Hayek, Rita Wilson, Scooter Braun, Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, Bob Iger and Lauren's ex, Tony Gonzalez. They're cool like that.

As for Lauren and Jeff's wedding day ... she talked to Vogue about planning the massive event, but sounds like they don't have a ton of details yet. They've only been engaged for 5 months, after all.

However, the couple was happy to strike several poses for multiple photo shoots ... one on his Western Texas ranch, and another with a glossy, futuristic theme that looks kinda spacey.

Makes sense, as Lauren says she's getting ready for her trip to space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard capsule. She also talked about their $10 billion philanthropic efforts through the Bezos Earth Fund -- as she put it to Vogue, "This is the most important work I’ve ever done, ever.”

A collection of rare, psychedelic drawings by Jimi Hendrix is up for sale ... but fans are gonna need a lot more than a couple impressive guitar licks to score this treasure trove.

Ten drawings by Jimi are being sold by Momentsintime.com -- the guitarist's artwork was drawn with a color pen in the late 1960s ... and as fans know, that's exactly when Jimi's fame rose to an all-time high.

The collection has a price tag of $195k and was originally a part of the Bob & Kathy Levine Collection ... 2 people who worked with Jimi back in the day.

Bob and Kathy actually rushed over to Jimi's home and office in 1970 when the musician died to change the locks -- knowing multiple people had keys to both spots. They wanted to ensure none of his stuff got snatched.

They sent most of Jimi's possessions to his family but kept some mementos -- like these pieces of art -- for themselves. They sold this collection at some point, and it's changed hands over the years ... last hitting the market in 2008.

Una colección de raros dibujos psicodélicos de Jimi Hendrix está a la venta, pero los fans van a necesitar bastante dinero si quieren obtener alguno.

Momentsintime.com pone a la venta diez dibujos de Jimi, realizados con un bolígrafo de color a finales de la década de 1960 y, como bien saben los fans, fue precisamente entonces cuando la fama de Jimi alcanzó su punto álgido.

La colección tiene un precio de 195.000 dólares y originalmente formaba parte de la Bob & Kathy Levine Collection, dos personas que trabajaron con Jimi en su día.

Bob y Kathy se apresuraron a ir a la casa y la oficina de Jimi en 1970 (cuando el músico murió), para cambiar las cerraduras, sabiendo que varias personas tenían llaves de ambos lugares. Querían asegurarse de que no robaran nada.

Enviaron la mayoría de las posesiones de Jimi a su familia, pero se quedaron con algunos recuerdos, como estas obras de arte. Vendieron esta colección en algún momento y ha cambiado de manos a lo largo de los años. La última vez que estuvo en el mercado fue en 2008.
