La casa en la que Kris Jenner fingió vivir en "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" está de vuelta al mercado, y esta vez el propietario está buscando algo de ayuda del rey para transferir la escritura.

La casa de Studio City  —que fue famosa por ser utilizada para las tomas exteriores de la mansión de Kris en el exitoso programa de E!— está a la venta una vez más, solo que ahora el valor ha experimentado cerca de 5 años de apreciación, por lo que está en la lista por $8.888.888.

Eso es un gran salto desde lo que el actual propietario pagó en 2018, cuando lo obtuvieron por 5.25 millones de dólares. Eso representa una ganancia de $3 millones menos lo que invirtieron en el lugar.

Teniendo en cuenta la historia de la lujosa vivienda, veremos si eso les ayuda a enganchar a un comprador en un futuro próximo, y lo que es más importante, si termina saliendo a la venta.

El hecho es que cada vez que la casa ha llegado al mercado —que ha sido bastante habitual en los últimos 9 años— los números casi siempre terminan fluctuando un poco cuando todos los papeles se firman.

Por ejemplo, mientras que se vendió por poco más de $5M en 2018, el precio de venta en el momento estaba cerca de los $8 millones en un comienzo, por lo que el propietario recortó lo que pedía bastante.

Vamos a ver lo que el titular actual termina aceptando. El hecho es que el mercado de la vivienda es difícil en este momento, con las tasas de interés por las nubes y no tanto movimiento como lo fue hace 2 o 3 años durante la pandemia.

En cuanto a las especificaciones, es una típica casa de lujo de la zona de Los Ángeles: 7 dormitorios, 9 baños y todas las comodidades de una vida lujosa. La pregunta es, ¿vale la pena gastar casi $9 millones en algo así?

Solo para que quede claro, esta no era la casa real de Kris. Solo la usaron para hacerla pasar por su hogar, obviamente no mostraron su casa real por razones de seguridad.

Jake Paul's leaving a ton of money on the table in his upcoming boxing match ... telling TMZ Sports he's more focused on being a world champion than selling Pay-per-views.

The 26-year-old Problem Child is facing off against 35-year-old pro boxer Andre August in Orlando next month ... which is a stark contrast from his usual big-name opponents like Tommy Fury, Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva.

Paul says that's by design ... as he needs to take on real-deal boxers to both silence his haters and move toward his goal of being the best fighter on the planet -- even if it doesn't line his pockets like his other high-profile bouts.

"This is probably just a break-even fight for me," Jake told Michael Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show on FS1. "I probably won't even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It's $200,000 for a private jet to fly around just to get me there and back."

But, that's not fazing Jake -- he makes it clear his only concern is polishing his skills and taking on a bigger challenge against a guy with more wins and knockouts under his belt.

"He's a beast, he's a dog and he's coming to win," Jake said of his opponent. "This is his make-or-break moment as a boxer himself. It's gonna be a really good fight."

Jake made a great point -- the entire world has watched all of his fights from the very beginning ... which is unprecedented for someone in the sport. Usually, dudes take on smaller bouts to gain more experience before getting big.

Jake explained he's not going to leave the massive PPV opportunities for good -- which might be good news for former boxing champion Andre Ward, who previously told us he was interested in taking on one of the Paul brothers in the future.

Elon Musk's social media platform X is dragging a media watchdog group to court ... claiming Media Matters is engaged in a smear campaign against him and his company.

The billionaire followed up Monday with his previously announced plans to sue Media Matters in response to a recently published story suggesting pro-Nazi advertisements were running alongside organic user content ... an assertion Elon claims is BS.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Media Matters "knowingly and maliciously manufactured" side-by-side images depicting advertisements next to neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts on his X app, formerly Twitter.

X claims Media Matters is driving advertisers from Elon's platform by passing off the images as something the typical X user might encounter on the app ... something Musk says is far from true.

What's more, X alleges Media Matters went to great lengths to manipulate the X algorithm to create situations where paid posts from huge companies would appear next to racist and incendiary content.

X says Media Matters then took screenshots of the posts as the basis of a negative story ... "leaving the false impression that these pairings are anything but what they actually are: manufactured, inorganic, and extraordinarily rare."

The suit says it's all part of a wide-ranging smear campaign Media Matters is mounting against Elon and X ... claiming the group is hellbent on driving advertisers away from the platform in order to destroy Elon's company.

As we reported ... Elon announced Friday plans to file a "thermonuclear" lawsuit against Media Matters for what he says was a "fraudulent attack" on his app.

There's lots of reasons Elon's pissed ... including the fact the Media Matters report seems to have spurred a mass exodus among HUGE companies advertising on X.

Media Matters is not backing down though ... its president, Angelo Carusone, tells TMZ ... "This is a frivolous lawsuit meant to bully X’s critics into silence. Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court."

Es oficial. La demanda de Cassie contra Diddy, en la que alegaba que la violó e involucró en trata de personas, ha sido desestimada.

De acuerdo con documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, el caso fue terminado a los ojos de la ley el lunes en Nueva York. El documento dice: "De conformidad con un acuerdo entre las partes, el demandante desestima esta acción, con perjuicio y sin costos u honorarios para cualquiera de las partes".

Como informamos, Cassie y Diddy anunciaron que habían llegado a un acuerdo el viernes. Cassie dijo: "He decidido resolver este asunto de forma amistosa en términos en los que tengo cierto nivel de control. Quiero dar las gracias a mi familia, a mis fans y a mis abogados por su apoyo incondicional". El comunicado de Diddy decía: "Hemos decidido resolver este asunto amistosamente. Deseo a Cassie y a su familia todo lo mejor. Con amor".

El acuerdo fue extremadamente rápido, teniendo en cuenta que Cassie solo había presentado su demanda el jueves.

Sin embargo, el abogado de Diddy, Ben Brafman, fue directo en decirnos: "Solo para que quede claro, la decisión de resolver la demanda, especialmente en 2023, no es de ninguna manera una admisión de delito. La decisión del Sr. Combs de llegar a un acuerdo en la demanda no socava en modo alguno su rotunda negación de las acusaciones. Se alegra de que hayan llegado a un acuerdo mutuo y le desea lo mejor a la Sra. Ventura".

Diddy fue visto el sábado fuera de su casa de Star Island en Miami con aspecto angustiado, por decir lo menos.

La demanda fue impactante, con afirmaciones que hablaban de tráfico de personas, consumo de drogas y violación, incluyendo un incidente de 2018 en que Diddy supuestamente fue a la casa de Cassie y la forzó a tener relaciones sexuales.

Cassie también acusó a Diddy de ser agresivo con ella físicamente, golpeándola y pisoteándola varias veces a lo largo de su larga relación.

It's official ... Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy -- where she alleged he raped her and was involved in human trafficking -- has been dismissed.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the case was ended in the eyes of the law Monday in New York. The document reads, "Pursuant to an agreement between the parties, Plaintiff hereby dismisses this action, with prejudice and without costs or fees to either party."

As we reported, it was Friday when both Cassie and Diddy announced they had settled the lawsuit ... Cassie stated, "I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support." Diddy's statement read, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love."

The settlement was extremely quick, considering Cassie had only filed her lawsuit Thursday.

However, Diddy's attorney, Ben Brafman, was direct, telling us ... "Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best."

Diddy was seen Saturday outside his Star Island home in Miami looking distressed, to say the least.

The lawsuit was shocking -- with claims of human trafficking, drug use and rape -- including one incident Cassie says happened in 2018 when Diddy allegedly came over to her home after she'd tried to break up with him and forced sex on her.

Cassie also accused Diddy of being physical with her, beating and stomping her several times throughout their long relationship.

La plataforma de X de Elon Musk está arrastrando a un grupo de vigilancia de los medios de comunicación a los tribunales, alegando que Media Matters está llevando a cabo una campaña de desprestigio contra él y su empresa.

El multimillonario siguió el lunes con sus planes previamente anunciados para demandar a Media Matters en respuesta a una historia recientemente publicada que sugiere anuncios pro-nazis se estaban ejecutando junto con el contenido orgánico de usuario, una afirmación que Elon afirma que es mentira.

De acuerdo con la demanda obtenida por TMZ, Media Matters "a sabiendas y maliciosamente a creado" mensajes que muestran anuncios junto a neonazis y nacionalistas blancos en su aplicación X, antes Tuiter.

X afirma que Media Matters está ahuyentando a los anunciantes de la plataforma de Elon haciendo pasar las imágenes por algo que el usuario típico de X podría encontrar en la aplicación, algo que Musk dice que está lejos de ser cierto.

Lo que es más, X alega que Media Matters hizo todo lo posible para manipular el algoritmo para crear situaciones en las que los mensajes pagados de grandes empresas aparecerían junto a contenido racista e incendiario.

X dice que Media Matters tomó capturas de pantalla de los puestos como la base de una historia negativa: "dejando la falsa impresión de que estos emparejamientos son cualquier cosa menos lo que realmente son: fabricados, inorgánicos y extraordinariamente raros".

La demanda dice que todo es parte de una amplia campaña de desprestigio que Media Matters está montando contra Elon y X, alegando que el grupo está empeñado en alejar a los anunciantes de la plataforma con el fin de destruir la compañía de Elon.

Como informamos, Elon anunció el viernes los planes para presentar una demanda "termonuclear" contra Media Matters por lo que dice que fue un "ataque fraudulento" contra su aplicación.

Hay muchas razones por las que Elon está enfadado, entre ellas el hecho de que el informe de Media Matters parece haber provocado un éxodo masivo entre las GRANDES empresas que se anuncian en X.

Sin embargo, Media Matters no está dando marcha atrás, su presidente, Angelo Carusone, le dice a TMZ: "Esta es una demanda frívola destinada a intimidar a los críticos de X en silencio. Media Matters respalda su información y espera ganar en los tribunales".

An L.A. Lakers fan not only lost out on $55,000 during a shooting contest at Sunday's game ... he also might have seriously injured his leg in the process.

The wild scene happened during a break in the action at Crytpo.com Arena ... when Lakers officials set up a game where a fan named Anthony could've scored a ton of cash if he hit a half-court shot.

Anthony initially seemed super confident he'd get the job done ... telling an in-arena host, "This is what I do."

A short time later, however, everyone in the building quickly learned this is not what Anthony does.

Check out footage from the contest ... as Anthony released the ball, he somehow hurt his left leg -- and he was hurting so much, he ultimately crumpled to the floor.

While the in-arena host attempted to get him to come back to make another attempt at earning money ... Anthony was in simply too much pain to continue.

"Let's put our hands together for the attempt," the host said as officials walked Anthony off the court.

Shakira decided not to fight the fight in a courtroom in Spain ... she has settled her tax fraud case with the government and agreed to pay millions in fines.

She cut a plea deal in the case after failing to pay $15.8 million in taxes between 2012 and 2014 -- the singer is set to receive a suspended 3-year sentence and a fine of $7.6 million ... as well as the taxes, plus interest. All told, she's in for about $19 million now.

Shakira showed up for the trial Monday in Barcelona, but before anything official happened the parties announced a settlement.

The fine is actually somewhat of a victory for the singer ... prosecutors wanted more than double that. Also, she can certainly afford it ... her net worth is significantly north of $200 million.

Shakira seemed upbeat when she entered the courthouse ... blowing kisses to her fans.

As for why she settled, she said in a statement it was "to spare my children seeing their mother sacrifice her well-being."

She went on ... 'I admire tremendously those who have fought these injustices to the end, but for me, today, winning is getting my time back for my kids and my career."

She's still pissed, going after the Spanish government for targeting athletes and other high-profile folks.

The judge asked her if she accepted the charges against her and she simply said, "I do." The judge said the fine would end the case ... i.e., no prison time.

Shakira decidió no luchar en un tribunal en España. Ha resuelto su caso de fraude fiscal con el gobierno y acordó pagar millones en multas.

Ella llegó a un acuerdo en el caso después de no pagar 15.8 millones de dólares en impuestos entre 2012 y 2014, la cantante está programada para recibir una sentencia suspendida de tres años y una multa de 7.6 millones de dólares.

Shakira se presentó al juicio el lunes en Barcelona y las partes anunciaron un acuerdo rápidamente.

La multa es en realidad una especie de victoria para la cantante, los fiscales querían más del doble. Además, sin duda puede permitírselo, su patrimonio neto es significativamente superior a $200 millones.

Shakira parecía optimista cuando entró al palacio de justicia, soplando besos a sus fans.

En cuanto a por qué llegó a un acuerdo, dijo en un comunicado que era "para evitar que mis hijos vean a su madre sacrificar su bienestar".

Ella continuó: "Admiro tremendamente a aquellos que han luchado contra estas injusticias hasta el final, pero para mí, hoy, ganar es recuperar mi tiempo para mis hijos y mi carrera".

Ella sigue cabreada, yendo a por el gobierno español contra deportistas y otras personas de alto perfil.

El juez le preguntó si aceptaba los cargos que se le imputaban y ella se limitó a decir: "Los acepto". El juez dijo que la multa pondría fin al caso, es decir, no iría a la cárcel.

Jared Leto is so here for people comparing him to Scott Disick ... he's practically crossing his fingers and hoping they're long-lost relatives, because who wouldn't want a dose of Kardashian drama in their life?

The Oscar winner finally responded to the long-standing familial rumors while he was on  Sirius XM’s TikTok Radio, and host Davis Burleson held up side-by-side images of Scott and Jared ... prompting the actor to gush, "Wow, Really? Lucky me. Thank you."

Davis asked Jared if he, too, saw his uncanny resemblance to the 'KUWTK' star ... but Jared wasn't entirely convinced -- "It’s hard when you look at yourself. But they do say that people who look alike actually share a lot of DNA, sometimes."

Getting deep, the spiritual guru continued: "You know, if there’s someone like, 'Oh my god, you look exactly like this guy,' you actually might be related somehow."

Perhaps overestimating Lord Disick's net worth compared to his, Jared said it "would be nice" to have a rich relative!

Jared has actually crossed paths with members of the Kardashian-Jenner family before, even Scott's ex, Kourtney Kardashian -- but he's never met the man himself.

Jared Leto está aquí para que la gente lo compare con Scott Disick y prácticamente está cruzando los dedos y esperando que sean parientes perdidos hace mucho tiempo, porque ¿quién no quiere una dosis de drama Kardashian en su vida?

El ganador del Oscar finalmente respondió a los rumores familiares de larga data mientras estaba en TikTok Radio de Sirius XM, y el anfitrión Davis Burleson mostró imágenes de Scott y Jared, lo que provocó que el actor dijera: "Wow, ¿En serio? Qué suerte tengo. Gracias".

Davis le preguntó a Jared si él también veía su asombroso parecido con la estrella de "KUWTK" (Keeping Up with the Kardashians), pero Jared no estaba del todo convencido, "Es difícil cuando te miras a ti mismo. Pero dicen que las personas que se parecen, en realidad comparten mucho ADN".

Profundizando, el gurú espiritual continuó: "Ya sabes, si hay alguien como, "Oh Dios mío, te ves exactamente como este tipo", en realidad podría estar relacionado de alguna manera".

Tal vez sobreestimando el valor neto de Lord Disick en comparación con el suyo, Jared dijo que "estaría bien" ¡tener un pariente rico!

Jared ha cruzado caminos con los miembros de la familia Kardashian/Jenner antes, incluso la ex de Scott, Kourtney Kardashian, pero nunca se reuniron.

Kim Zolciak has been sued yet again for not paying her bills ... this time by Bank of America, which claims she's delinquent on more than $50,000.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kim had a $50,000 line of credit over at B of A, and then racked up a bill that reached the limit. B of A claims it sent periodic notices, demanding payment, but got zippo.

With interest and penalties, the balance is now $56,224.07 and growing. So B of A is now the latest in a long line of creditors who have resorted to the legal system to get Kim and Kroy to fork over cash.

BMW just won a case against Kroy over non-payment of a Rolls-Royce. A judge ordered this month that he return the $400,100 SUV to the car company.

Kim and Kroy have also been ordered to pay Simmons Bank approximately $230,000 for defaulting on a home equity line of credit.

Kim was sued back in August by SAKS/CAPITAL ONE for $156,080 ... again, failing to pay her credit card bill.

And Kim was also sued by Target for $2,400 for failing to make good on her credit card bill.

Kroy was sued by Sky Warrior over a gambling debt -- $52,500 -- over a bad run at a casino in the Bahamas.

They've also teetered on the edge of foreclosure.

Tyrese Gibson está siendo demandado por presuntos daños a un alquiler de Airbnb por hacer "alteraciones excesivas", pero él se está defendiendo diciendo que los cambios que hizo no son un gran problema.

La administradora de la propiedad, Tracy Wolf, le dice a TMZ que Tyrese firmó un contrato de arriendo de 6 meses para una finca de 5 dormitorios en Woodland Hills por $20.000 mensuales a partir de febrero, y ella dice que comenzó a añadir estructuras a la casa justo después de mudarse.

Wolf afirma que Tyrese causó daños en toda la propiedad mediante la alteración de los paneles eléctricos, la adición de tomas de corriente que no estaban permitidas, la pintura de una chimenea de mármol en un color metálico de oro brillante y el cierre de puertas y ventanas, causando daños a las unidades de HVAC.

TMZ obtuvo un video de Tyrese mostrando algunos de los cambios en el interior de la casa, dice que bloqueó algunas puertas y ventanas por razones de privacidad y afirma que los materiales que utilizó no están unidos a las estructuras existentes de la casa y todos los cambios son temporales.

El administrador de la propiedad dice que Tyrese les dijo que no había cambios permanentes en la casa, pero insisten en que los cambios están lejos de ser temporales y, en cualquier caso, causó daños a la propiedad.

Es más, la administradora de la propiedad afirma que Tyrese intentó que el jardinero del propietario retirara 22 plátanos del terreno y cuando el jardinero se negó, dice que Tyrese intentó contratar a otra empresa, sin embargo, el equipo de administración de la propiedad se lo impidió.

Wolf también afirma que Tyrese permitió que un equipo de construcción perforara un montón de agujeros en la puerta de hierro forjado de la casa y flamante exterior de estuco y hemos obtenido video que muestra el supuesto daño.

La administradora de la propiedad dice que a Tyrese se le pidió en repetidas ocasiones no hacer ningún cambio sin el consentimiento por escrito de los propietarios, pero ella afirma que hizo caso omiso de la solicitud y realizó cambios cada vez que quería.

Wolf dice que la dueña de casa, Tiffanique Webb, trató de ser paciente con Tyrese y le dio varios meses para restaurar la casa, pero dice Tyrese dejó de responder a las llamadas, textos y correos electrónicos, y este es el porqué de la demanda.

Webb va detrás de Tyrese por más de $25.000 en daños y perjuicios.

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.
