Tyrese Gibson is being sued for allegedly damaging a rental property by making "excessive alterations" ... but he's on video saying the changes he made aren't a big deal.

The property manager, Tracy Wolf, tells TMZ ... Tyrese signed a 6-month lease for a 5-bedroom estate in Woodland Hills for $20,000 per month starting in February, and she says he started adding structures to the home right after he moved in.

Wolf claims Tyrese caused damage throughout the property by altering electrical panels, adding electrical outlets that weren't up to code, painting a marble fireplace in a shiny gold metallic color, closing off doors and windows, and causing damage to the HVAC units.

TMZ obtained video of Tyrese showing off some of the changes inside the home ... he says he blocked some doors and windows for privacy concerns and claims the materials he used aren't attached to the home's existing structures and all the changes are temporary.

The property manager says Tyrese told them there were no permanent changes to the home ... but they insist the changes are far from temporary and, in any event, caused damage to the property.

What's more, the property manager claims Tyrese tried to get the homeowner's gardener to remove 22 banana trees on the grounds ... and when the gardener refused, she says Tyrese tried to hire another company ... but got thwarted by the property management team.

Wolf also claims Tyrese allowed a construction crew to drill a bunch of holes in the home's wrought iron gate and brand-new stucco exterior ... and we obtained video showing the alleged damage.

The property manager says Tyrese was repeatedly asked not to make any changes without written consent from the owners ... but she claims he disregarded the request and made changes on a whim whenever he wanted.

Wolf says the homeowner, Tiffanique Webb, tried being patient with Tyrese and gave him several months to restore the home ... but she says Tyrese stopped responding to calls, texts and emails ... leading to the lawsuit.

Webb is going after Tyrese for more than $25,000 in damages.

We reached out to Tyrese ... so far no word back.

GoFundMe has suspended a fundraiser appearing to benefit the family of the Las Vegas teen who was beaten to death earlier this month, and his family claims the solicitation for money is fraudulent.

The fundraiser is titled "Jonathan Lewis Family," and raised nearly $2k since going live last week. The main photo isn't of 17-year-old Lewis, but instead of another man ... a man who according to Jonathan's dad, has no connection to Lewis.

According to the description, the alleged organizer, Cole Charles, is looking to raise funds for Lewis' family ... but it's all pretty vague.

A spokesperson for GoFundMe tells TMZ ... "Our Trust & Safety team has reached out to the organizer for more information. All funds raised on the fundraiser remain safely held by our payment processors while our Trust & Safety team conducts its review."

To be clear, the person running the questionable fundraiser doesn't have access to the cash that's been raised, and it will maintained by GoFundMe until they complete their investigation.

Also ... there's an existing, verified fundraiser that's on the site benefitting the Lewis fam and has raised well over $100,000. Protecting the GoFundMe community is one of the platform's top priorities, and they have a dedicated team reviewing all fundraisers related to this incident.

As we reported, footage from the brutal incident showed Lewis at the center of a beatdown near a Las Vegas high school -- cops said the attack stemmed from stolen headphones and possibly a vape pen ... with everyone agreeing to meet in an alley after school to fight.

Rachel Zegler has been a lightning rod of late -- but the fact her latest movie just came in at #1 says a lot ... including the fact people apparently want more 'Hunger Games.'

The actress plays the lead in the new prequel, "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," which took the top spot at the box office this weekend with a $44 mil haul domestically ... and about $99 million worldwide. That's pretty good, considering the budget was a clean $100M.

Granted, it didn't perform as well as all of Jennifer Lawrence's previous installments -- but considering she ain't in this one, not to mention the stiff competition, this result isn't bad.

We'll see if Lionsgate wants to do more of these flicks -- while the new 'Hunger Games' film will probably land in the black, long haul, it remains to be seen if there's enough interest in the franchise at this point to warrant another entry or two.

In any case, the studio's putting a smile in the aftermath ... with Lionsgate Vice Chairman Adam Fogelson saying, "We were a little lighter domestically and a little over [projections] internationally, so we’re thrilled with the result. It’ll be a great business result for the studio."

Of course, this has also gotta be a good sign for Zegler herself ... who can apparently put asses in seats as the star of a major blockbuster. You know Disney's happy to hear that.

As we're sure you know by now, RZ has caught some flak of late over the forthcoming 'Snow White' reboot ... namely, for talking a lot of trash about the original story, etc.

Fortunately for her, she won't have to deal with that for another couple years ... it got kicked down the road for a 2025 opening -- and as they say, time (and success) heals all wounds.

Rachel Zegler ha recibido algo de hate últimamente, pero el hecho de que su última película acaba de llegar al número uno dice mucho, incluyendo el hecho de que la gente aparentemente quiere más de "Los Juegos del Hambre".

La actriz interpreta a la protagonista de la nueva precuela, "La balada de los pájaros cantores y las serpientes", que se ha colocado en el primer puesto de la taquilla este fin de semana con una recaudación de 44 millones de dólares a nivel nacional y unos 99 millones de dólares en todo el mundo. Eso está muy bien, teniendo en cuenta que el presupuesto era de 100 millones de dólares.

Es cierto que no funcionó tan bien como todas las entregas anteriores de Jennifer Lawrence, pero teniendo en cuenta que ella no está en esta, por no hablar de la dura competencia, este resultado no está mal.

Veremos si Lionsgate quiere hacer más películas de este tipo: aunque es probable que la nueva entrega de Los juegos del hambre acabe en números negros a largo plazo, está por ver si la franquicia despierta suficiente interés como para justificar una o dos entregas más.

En cualquier caso, el estudio le está dando un visto bueno a las secuelas, con el vicepresidente de Lionsgate, Adam Fogelson, diciendo: "Estábamos algo lentos a nivel nacional y un poco mejor (respecto a las proyecciones) a nivel internacional, por lo que estamos encantados con el resultado. Será un gran paso comercial para el estudio".

Por supuesto, esto también tiene que ser una buena señal para la propia Zegler, que aparentemente puede llevar gente al cine como estrella de un gran éxito de taquilla. Sabes que Disney está feliz de oír eso.

Como seguro que ya sabrás, la actriz ha sido objeto de críticas últimamente por el próximo reboot de Blancanieves, en concreto, por no serle fiel a la historia original, etc.

Afortunadamente para ella, no tendrá que lidiar con eso por un par de años, ya que el proyecto fue pospuesto hasta el 2025, y como dicen, el tiempo (y el éxito) cura todas las heridas.

Diddy y su drama con Cassie parecen estar dándole grandes preocupaciones al rapero.

El magnate del hip hop y Bad Boy honcho fue fotografiado el sábado fuera de su mansión de Star Island en Miami, donde estaba vestido casualmente y bebiendo mientras se dejó caer al lado de lo que parece ser su jefa de personal desde hace mucho tiempo.

Ella estaba en ropa cómoda también y los dos charlaron un rato en lo que parecía una conversación bastante seria. Diddy incluso enterró la cara entre las manos en un momento dado.

Finalmente, se levantó y volvió a entrar.

Tiene sentido, teniendo en cuenta todo lo que ha estado sucediendo en las últimas 72. Diddy está siendo acusado de cosas horribles por su ex en la corte, todo lo ha negado con vehemencia. Tan rápido como ella presentó la demanda, ambos llegaron a un acuerdo.

Mientras que el abogado de Diddy fue inflexible al decir que su cliente NO estaba admitiendo haber hecho mal, la gente en línea ha estado charlando sobre esto sin parar, a pesar de que en general, el sentimiento público parece estar en su mayoría en contra del rapero.

El tiempo dirá cómo las reclamaciones de Cassie terminan afectando a su vida, el hecho es que tiene un montón de empresas de negocios en las que está involucrado, por no hablar de los eventos de caridad que encabeza con bastante frecuencia.

Por supuesto, Diddy también se dedica a la música, y acaba de publicar un álbum a principios de este año. También tiende a salir mucho por la ciudad para fiestas y reuniones, pero algo nos dice que podría mantener las cosas discretas por un tiempo.

Diddy just officially put this whole Cassie saga to bed, but it seems it's all still at the forefront of his mind -- that is, if these pictures of him looking stressed are any indication.

The hip hop mogul and Bad Boy honcho was photographed Saturday outside of his Star Island mansion in Miami ... where he was dressed casually and sipping on a beverage of some sort as he plopped down next to what appears to be his longtime chief of staff.

She was in comfy clothes too, and the two of them chatted for a bit in what looked like a pretty serious conversation. Diddy even buried his face in his hands at one point.

Eventually, he got up and went back inside ... but yeah, he certainly appears solemn.

Makes sense, considering everything that's been going on over the past 72 hours or so -- namely, him being accused of horrendous things by his ex in court ... all of which he's vehemently denied. Just as quickly as she filed, they both reached a settlement.

While Diddy's attorney was adamant in saying that his client settling did NOT mean he was admitting wrongdoing -- people online have been chatting about this nonstop regardless ... and, by and large, public sentiment seems to be mostly against Puff in the aftermath.

Time will tell how Cassie's claims end up affecting his life -- fact is, he's got a lot of business ventures he's involved in ... not to mention charitable endeavors he heads up quite often.

Of course, Diddy still dabbles in music as well ... and is fresh off an album release earlier this year. He also tends to hit the town a lot for parties and get-togethers, but something tells us he might be keeping things on the DL for a while.

Britney Spears ha estado pasando desapercibida desde la publicación de sus memorias el mes pasado, pero ahora está saliendo en público de nuevo y hay que decir que se ve muy feliz.

La estrella del pop (y ahora autora) fue fotografiada el sábado por la tarde en West Hollywood, donde fue a cenar al Chateau Marmont con su manager, Cade Hudson. Ella también tenía un amigo peludo de etiqueta que incluso se subió en el asiento del conductor cuando se fueron.

Como dijimos, Brit se ve radiante, mostrando una enorme sonrisa mientras los paparazzi disparaban. Se le vio caminando con mucha confianza mientras lucía un traje de color naranja brillante, botas y gafas de sol.

Se podría decir que está bastante satisfecha por los resultados de "The Woman in Me", que salió hace un mes, entregando toneladas de datos polémicos.

No vamos a repetir todo de nuevo, pero digamos que ella ganó un montón de simpatía y apoyo adicional de parte de la gente gracias sus historias personales. Esto le viene muy bien, ya que había perdido algo de popularidad después de la tutela.

Ahora, sin embargo, Brit tiene al público de vuelta de su lado y ella parece saberlo. Por supuesto, también está el hecho de que ella está recibiendo una buena parte de las ventas netas del libro, el cual ha sido un artículo muy vendido con más de 1.1 millones de copias vendidas en la primera semana.

Así que sí, Britney ha sacado algo bueno entre todo su drama.

En cuanto a la conducción, bueno, aquí está la esperanza de que ella frena su rollo y puede permanecer entre las líneas en la carretera. Ya le han puesto un par de multas de tráfico en el último año.

Britney Spears has been laying low since releasing her bombshell memoir last month -- but now, she's stepping out in public again ... and gotta say, she looks pretty damn happy.

The pop star (and now author) was snapped out and about Saturday afternoon in West Hollywood, where she hit dinner at the Chateau Marmont with her manager, Cade Hudson. She also had a furry friend tagging along ... and even got in the driver's seat as they left.

Like we said ... Brit's radiating here, flashing a huge grin as paps fired away -- and walking along with a lot of confidence, this while rocking a bright orange outfit, boots and shades.

From the looks of it, you could say she might be quite pleased over the fallout of "The Woman in Me," which came out about a month ago now ... with tons of juicy nuggets.

We're not gonna rehash all of it here again, but let's just say ... she gained a lot of extra sympathy and support as people processed her stories and claims -- which is interesting, 'cause you could argue she'd, perhaps, been losing a little steam post-conservatorship.

Now, however ... Brit has the public back in her corner -- and she seems to know that. Of course, there's also the fact she's getting a nice cut of the net sales of the book -- and so far, it's been a hot-ticket item ... with over 1.1 million copies sold in the first week!

So yeah, she's cleaned up nice and then some in the aftermath of all this.

As far as the driving, well -- here's hoping she slows her roll and can stay between the lines on the road. She's already gotten hit with a couple traffic tickets over the past year or so.

Slim Thug says women who claim to have been abused need to speak up when it's actually happening -- which is why he thinks Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy came too little, too late.

The rapper aired out his thoughts online with a very honest video, in which he spoke on the Cassie/Diddy situation -- which is now resolved after the two of them reached a settlement in record time.

Still, ST spoke his piece ... and he says he simply doesn't support people coming after their alleged abusers years after the fact -- and not only did he mention Diddy and Cassie in making this point, but he also name-dropped Bill Cosby. As he says, he ain't with all that.

Slim also dished his opinion on why he believes Cassie even filed her suit with bombshell claims -- and, according to him, it may have to do with her living a different lifestyle now.

Bottom line ... Slim Thug's saying he thinks this is all about money, and has a hunch Cassie was simply out for cash in this whole situation.

In any case ... Slim's bigger point here is, the post-mortem undressing of old (alleged) incidents not only needs a statute of limitations legally -- but, perhaps, socially too.

ICYMI ... Cassie/Diddy came to terms out of court, and both said they resolved it amicably. Diddy's attorney also said the settlement did not indicate an admission of wrongdoing.

Turns out Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and a ton of other celebs love cars that go real fast ... especially if they're speeding down the famed Strip for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The much anticipated glitzy event -- which got off to a very rocky start -- turned into a massive success ... based on the actual racing action, and the A-list talent who showed up for Saturday night's race.

RiRi and her man sat in with Team Ferrari, putting on headphones to hear the drivers during the race ... while the likes of David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Shaquille O'Neal, Paris Hilton, Cara Delevingne, Axl Rose and Patrick Dempsey roamed the track right before the race.

Arguably, Justin Bieber nabbed the best seat in the house for the race ... as he got to wave the checkered flag as Team Red Bull's Max Verstappen crossed the finish line for his 18th victory of the season.

Ferrari's Charles LeClerc, who started in pole position, finished 2nd and Red Bull's Sergio Perez was third.

The race was Formula 1's first in Las Vegas since 1982's Caesars Palace Grand Prix, and it was easily the most talked about race on the schedule this year.

But, it almost turned into a major flop -- locals were pissed about the monthslong construction and traffic delays, spectators railed about sky-high ticket and hotel prices ... and then, during the first practice session, a drain hole cover flew up and damaged a car driven by Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz.

However, in the end, the race itself turned out to be pretty exciting ... making sure normie spectators, and celebs alike, got their money's worth.

Hollywood's biggest stars are flying high these days ... eschewing commercial air travel for a more luxurious and lavish experience ... in their own private aircrafts.

Big-time celebs like Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, John Travolta, Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenner, Rick Ross, Drake and Floyd Mayweather are among those who own their own jets ... and they get around.

For starters, Kim's private jet is a $150 million G650ER aircraft ... the same model Jeff Bezos owns.

Kim's customized her jet to her liking ... she calls it "Kim Air." She likes to serve her guests waffles, among other in-flight goodies.

Kylie, meanwhile, dropped $72 million on her private jet back in 2020 ... it's decked out with a master suite, closet, entertainment suite, two bathrooms and has her initials embroidered on the seats.

Like her big sister, Kylie calls her jet "Kylie Air" ... and the in-flight menu includes salads and pasta, plus cocktails and wine.

Beyonce's not only the Queen B, she's also the queen of the skies ... her private plane is huge, with room for 15 to 19 passengers aboard the Bombardier Challenger 850.

Bey bought the plane way back in 2012 for $40 million as a Father's Day gift for husband Jay-Z ... and it's been whisking their family around ever since.

Taylor's got a fleet of private jets at her disposal ... which she put to good use during her 'Eras' tour.

T-Swift has two multimillion-dollar planes, which she's used for over 100 flights this year alone ... with more trips likely on the way as her tour goes overseas.

Las estrellas más famosas de Hollywood están volando alto en estos días, evitando los viajes comerciales para tener una experiencia más lujosa en sus propios aviones privados.

Grandes celebridades como Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, John Travolta, Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenner, Rick Ross, Drake y Floyd Mayweather están entre los que poseen sus propios jets y se mueven en ellos.

Para empezar, el jet privado de Kim es un avión G650ER de 150 millones de dólares, el mismo modelo que posee Jeff Bezos.

Kim ha personalizado su jet a su gusto. Lo llama "Kim Air". A ella le gusta servir golosinas y otras delicias a sus invitados en sus vuelos.

Kylie, por su parte, desembolsó $72 millones de dólares por su jet privado en 2020. Este está engalanado con una suite principal, un armario, una suite de entretenimiento, dos baños y tiene sus iniciales bordadas en los asientos.

Al igual que su hermana mayor, Kylie llama a su jet "Kylie Air" y el menú a bordo incluye ensaladas y pasta, además de cócteles y vino.

Beyonce no es solo la Queen B, también es la reina de los cielos. Su avión Bombardier Challenger 850 es enorme, con espacio para entre 15 a 19 pasajeros a bordo.

Bey compró el avión en 2012 por 40 millones de dólares como un regalo para su marido Jay-Z por el Día del Padre y ha estado llevando a su familia en él desde entonces.

Taylor tiene una flota de jets privados a su disposición, los que ha dispuesto muy bien durante su gira "Eras".

Taylor Swift tiene dos aviones multimillonarios, que ha utilizado para más de 100 vuelos solo este año, y probablemente serán más con su gira en el extranjero.

Michael B. Jordan is set to direct another 'Rocky' franchise installment with the next 'Creed' movie -- this despite the fact that Sylvester Stallone has major beef with a key producer.

The announcement was made by Irwin Winkler at an event in L.A. Saturday -- where he confirmed that not only is 'Creed IV' happening ... but saying Mike would be back in the director's chair, and obviously starring of course.

According to Deadline, Winkler said they'd start circling the project sometime in 2024 -- with him explaining, "We have a really good story [and] a really good plot. We got a little delayed because of the strikes, but about a year from now we’re going into pre-production."

Considering how much of a moneymaker "Creed III" was, this is great news for MBJ ... but probably hits a nerve with Sly -- who's slammed IW and his handling of the 'Rocky' rights.

As we reported ... Stallone has called on Winkler to give him an ownership stake in the IP -- of which he has no control over, apparently, after having sold the rights to the OG script years ago. Sly's POV is ... he's the creator of the character/story, so he should have a cut.

It goes without saying ... Rocky himself was not featured in the latest film -- and Sly said he just didn't like direction Mike and Irwin were taking things ... although he did wish 'em well.

Sly's love of his baby ('Rocky') actually just got a renewed focus thanks to a great Netflix doc on the man himself, "Sly" ... which touches heavily on how the Oscar-winning film came together. If you watch it, you'll see all things 'Rocky' are still very near and dear to SS.

Interestingly enough, Sylvester doesn't address Winkler in the doc (directly or indirectly) but he's made his feelings about the issue very clear. For now, it doesn't appear he's going to be involved with 'Creed IV' ... although MBJ left the door open in interviews earlier this year.

Aubrey O'Day no está de acuerdo con la forma en que el sistema judicial funcionó en relación con la demanda entre Diddy y Cassie, y la cantante se lo está haciendo saber a todo el mundo.

Aubrey, que fue firmada por el sello "Bad Boy" de Diddy en la década de los 2000, opinó sobre el sorprendente acuerdo en Instagram, luego de que Cassie presentara una demanda contra Diddy en un tribunal federal un día antes, alegando que la había violado e involucrado en trata de personas durante años.

O'Day escribió: "Dinero > responsabilidad. Siempre. Bienvenido a otro capítulo del sistema, que está bien en su lugar".

En otras palabras, O'Day está diciendo que el sistema no funcionó porque Diddy probablemente desembolsó mucho dinero para desestimar las acusaciones. Los detalles del acuerdo aún no han sido revelados.

Después de que Cassie presentara la demanda, O'Day se dirigió a Instagram para dispararle a Diddy, escribiendo: "Been Trynna Tell Y'all For Years (he estado tratando de decírtelo por años)". El New York Post también habló con O'Day, quien dio su "apoyo total" a Cassie.

En el pasado, la cantante ha concedido varias entrevistas en las que afirma que Diddy le hizo insinuaciones sexuales no deseadas, que ella siempre rechazó, y que estaba involucrado en prácticas comerciales turbias.

Por ejemplo, acusó a Diddy de ofrecer los derechos de publicación de nuevo a su grupo, Danity Kane, con un acuerdo de confidencialidad adjunto, que ella encontró molesto y nunca firmó. No quedó claro qué pasó finalmente con ese acuerdo.

Diddy no se ha referido a las afirmaciones de O'Day, pero publicó un comunicado después de que se hiciera oficial el acuerdo con Cassie: "Hemos decidido resolver este asunto de forma amistosa. Deseo a Cassie y a su familia todo lo mejor. Con amor".

Aubrey O'Day isn't down with the way the justice system worked in the Diddy-Cassie lawsuit settlement -- and AOD's letting everybody know it!!!

The singer -- who was signed to Diddy's label "Bad Boy" in the 2000s -- weighed in on Instagram about Friday's stunning settlement after Cassie sued Diddy in federal court one day earlier, claiming he had raped her and engaged in human trafficking over the years.

O'Day wrote, "Money > accountability. Every time. Welcome to another chapter of the system is well in place."

In other words, O'Day is saying that the system didn't work because Diddy likely shelled out big bucks to put the suit to bed. Details of the settlement have not been disclosed.

After Cassie filed the bombshell suit, O'Day took to IG to give Diddy a shot, writing, "Been Trynna Tell Y'all For Years." The New York Post also spoke to O'Day, who threw her "complete support" behind Cassie.

In the past, O'Day has given several interviews in which she alleged Diddy made unwanted sexual advances -- which she would always rebuff -- and he was involved in shady business practices.

For example, she accused Diddy of offering the publishing rights back to her group, Danity Kane, with an NDA attached, which she found annoying and never signed. It wasn't clear what ultimately happened with the deal.

Diddy has not addressed O'Day's claims, but he released a statement after the settlement with Cassie became official, saying, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love."

The NBA is admitting it's forcing LaMelo Ball to cover up his new neck tattoo ... claiming the Charlotte Hornets star's ink is violating league policy.

The 22-year-old got the "LF" put just below his left ear back in September ... to represent his middle name as well as his LaFrancé clothing line.

But, recently, he's covered it up with a bandage ... and on Friday, NBA spokesman Tim Frank said in a statement to ESPN it's because "players are prohibited from displaying commercial logos or corporate insignia on their body or in their hair during games."

"We try to enforce the rule reasonably, in accordance with its purpose, and taking into account players' efforts to express themselves in a non-commercial manner," Frank added. "But LaMelo Ball's neck tattoo is in obvious violation of the rule and, accordingly, he's required to cover it."

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Ball has been fighting the ruling ... and is still in talks with the league about coming up with an alternative solution.

The scenario is similar to one Ball's older brother, Lonzo Ball, had to deal with back in 2018 ... when the league made him cover up a "Big Baller Brand" tattoo he had gotten on his arm.
