Los nuevos tiempos felices entre Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann fueron de muy corta duración, de hecho, pocos días después de celebrar su aniversario de boda, los dos estaban el uno contra el otro... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que ha pasado una semana desde que Kim y Kroy comenzaron a tener problemas en su matrimonio una vez más. Nos dicen que las peleas eran intensas, como de costumbre, y que esta vez fueron en torno a las finanzas de la pareja y la ruptura de su relación, un tema común que hemos informado en el pasado.

Kim y Kroy permanecieron bajo el mismo techo y las cosas continuaron burbujeando entre ellos.

Nos informan que durante el último período de peleas, Kroy permaneció en el dormitorio principal y Kim estaba en el sótano/suite de la niñera según lo ordenado por un juez.

Todo llegó a un punto crítico el lunes por la noche cuando uno de los hijos pequeños de la pareja llamó a la policía durante una pelea "muy fuerte" entre los dos. Fuentes policiales nos dicen que tres oficiales y un supervisor llegaron a la casa para calmar las cosas y no hubo ningún arresto.

Curiosamente, Kim y Kroy fueron vistos con sus hijos yendo por unos cortes de pelo y Starbucks horas antes de la visita de la policía y todo parecía tranquilo.

El drama es todo lo contrario a la imagen que Kim y Kroy recientemente estuvieron retratando en redes sociales cuando salieron y celebraron su aniversario de bodas el 11 de noviembre con una comida de lujo y bebidas, aparentemente ignorando la enorme montaña de problemas de dinero que enfrentan.

The newfound happy times between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were very short-lived, in fact, just a few days after celebrating their 12th anniversary, they were at each other's throats ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ it's been about a week now since Kim and Kroy started having issues in their marriage once again. We're told the fights were intense, per usual, and revolved around their atrocious financial situation, and its impact on their relationship.

Translation: back to the common theme that prompted Kroy to file divorce docs, in the first, and second place.

We're told Kim and Kroy remained under the same roof while they verbally sparred, and things continued to bubble between them.

We're told throughout the latest period of fighting, Kroy remained in the primary bedroom and Kim was in the basement/nanny suite -- as ordered by a judge -- but that distance wasn't enough to keep the peace.

Everything came to a head Monday night when one of the estranged couple's young kids called the cops during an "extremely loud" fight between the two. Law enforcement sources tell us 3 officers and a supervisor came to the home to settle things down, but no one was arrested.

Interestingly enough, Kim and Kroy were seen out with their kids for haircuts and some Starbucks just hours before the police visit, and everything seemed calm.

The drama is 180 degrees from what the couple portrayed on social media when they celebrated their wedding anniversary on November 11 with a fancy meal and drinks ... seemingly oblivious to the massive money woes they continue to face.

Speaking of their financial troubles ... Kim and Kroy's Georgia mansion, which was supposed to go up in a foreclosure auction, is still on the market for $6 million.

El Santo Grial de la joyería de Elvis Presley va a salir a subasta. Se espera que su icónico collar de garras de león se venderá por al menos medio millón de dólares en la subasta.

Elvis llevaba el famoso collar de garra de león durante años, tanto dentro como fuera del escenario ... incluso durante algunos de sus momentos más memorables.

Cuando Elvis conoció a Muhammad Ali en la cima del boxeador ... el collar de león colgaba del cuello del cantante.Lo mismo ocurre con una famosa foto de Elvis celebrando el quinto cumpleaños de su hija Lisa Marie con su esposa Priscilla.

Elvis subió al escenario al menos 30 veces con el collar de garras de león también, en Las Vegas y de gira y lo llevaba durante su relación con Linda Thompson.

El collar de garra de león es bedazzled con diamantes y rubíes ... y ha estado en exhibición durante años en el Museo de Elvis Presley y ahora va a subasta con Gotta Have Rock and Roll.

The Holy Grail of Elvis Presley jewelry is going up for grabs -- it's his iconic lion claw necklace, and some Elvis-crazed collector might have to drop half a million dollars, or more, to nab it at auction.

Elvis famously wore the lion claw around his neck for years, both on and off stage ... including during some of his most memorable moments.

When Elvis met Muhammad Ali at the peak of the boxer's prime, the lion necklace was dangling from the singer's neck.

Ditto for a famous photo of Elvis celebrating his daughter Lisa Marie's 5th birthday with his wife Priscilla.

Elvis took the stage at least 30 times with the lion claw necklace too, on tour and during his Las Vegas residency ... and he wore it during his post-Priscilla relationship with Linda Thompson.

The piece is bedazzled with diamonds and rubies ... and it's been on display for years at the Elvis Presley Museum, but now it's going up for auction with Gotta Have Rock and Roll.

A Victor Wembanyama fan is clearly believing the hype surrounding the NBA's newest phenom ... purchasing the Spurs rookie's debut jersey this week for nearly a MILLION dollars!!

The threads Wemby wore during his first-ever game with San Antonio hit the Sotheby's auction block last week ... and experts had projected it to sell for right around $100K.

But, with the lore of Wembanyama growing every time he touches the floor ... one unidentified bidder ended up locking it all down on Tuesday for a whopping $762,000!!!

Of course, while the price tag is certainly a steep one ... it could be a helluva an investment -- because Wembanyama is proving night in and night out that he's simply different.

Through 14 games so far, he's averaging 18.6 points per game as well as 9.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, one steal and 2.6 blocks.

Britney Spears isn't fighting a traffic ticket she got last month -- coughing up the dough to make it all go away -- and shelling out a little extra for educational driving purposes, too.

The pop star paid a $332 fine over a traffic violation she was dinged for in early October out in Ventura County after allegedly crossing over double lines while cruising.

On top of the fine itself, it looks like BS also paid around $400 for traffic school ... a common route to take to avoid gaining a point on your license.

As we reported ... Britney paid even more cash the month prior over yet another driving incident. There, we were told she got pulled over for speeding ... and was ultimately ticketed for driving without a valid license or proof of insurance.

In that case, Brit forked over more than $1,100 to put that matter to bed.

Britney Spears decidió no pelear contra la justicia y pagar lo que fuera necesario para hacer desaparecer la multa que recibió el mes pasado por infracción de tránsito.

La estrella del pop pagó 332 dólares por la multa que le pusieron a principios de octubre en el condado de Ventura tras supuestamente cruzar una doble línea mientras conducía.

Además de la fianza en sí, parece que Britney también desembolsó alrededor de $400 para una escuela de tráfico, una estrategia común para evitar ganar un punto en su licencia.

Como les contamos, Britney ya había destinado dinero a incidentes del tránsito el mes pasado. En ese momento, fue detenida por andar a exceso de velocidad y además recibió una multa por conducir sin una licencia válida o prueba de seguro.

En ese caso, Brit pagó más de $1.100 para dejar el asunto en el cajón.

Tyrese Gibson is once again taking issue with the judge in his divorce case in Georgia ... he wants a new robe to step in, claiming the current judge is biased against him.

The actor filed new legal docs this week, obtained by TMZ, complaining about the way Judge Kevin Farmer is handling the case and saying he deserves a new judge.

Tyrese says Judge Farmer abruptly canceled a court hearing and ordered him to come up with a massive $450,000 bond within 10 days in connection with his appeal of an order in the case ... without giving him his day in court to explain how it would be impossible to come up with the cash that quickly.

In the docs, Tyrese says he was going to use the hearing to explain why he couldn't pay the $450K due to the Hollywood strikes impacting his ability to work and make money this year.

But, Tyrese says Judge Farmer scrapped the hearing only a few days before it was scheduled to go down ... which TG feels is another example of hizzoner having it out for him.

Tyrese has tried to get Judge Farmer taken off the case before ... as we first reported back in September 2022, Tyrese claimed the judge told him he thought the child support ordered in the case was appropriate and that he didn't care if Tyrese's ex, Samantha Lee Gibson, was a "greedy, gold-digging bitch."

Tyrese also claimed the judge belittled him with admonishments during his testimony.

The house Kris Jenner pretended to live at on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" is back on the market, and this time the owner's looking for a king's ransom to transfer the deed.

The Studio City home -- which was famously used for exterior shots of Kris's would-be mansion on the hit E! show -- is for sale once again ... only now, the value has experienced about 5 years worth of appreciation, so it's listed for $8,888,888.

That's quite a jump from what the current owner paid back in 2018, when they got it for $5.25 mil. If it sells for they get their asking price, that'll be more than a $3 million profit ... minus whatever they invested in the place, of course.

Considering the history of this swanky pad ... we'll see if that helps them hook a buyer in the near future, and more importantly, if it ends up going for listing.

Fact is, every time the home has hit the market -- which has been a lot over the past 9 years or so -- the numbers almost always end up fluctuating quite a bit when all the papers are signed.

For instance, while it sold for just over $5M in 2018 ... the asking price at the time was closer to nearly $8 mil at first, so the owner slashed their ask by a lot.

We'll see what the current title holder ends up accepting ... fact is, the housing market is rough right now, with interest rates through the roof and not nearly as much movement as there was 2-3 years ago during the pandemic.

As for the specs, it's a typical luxurious L.A.-area home -- 7 bedrooms, 9 baths and all the bells and whistles of fancy living. The question ... is it worth almost $9 million to snap up?!?

Just in case it wasn't clear from the top ... this was NOT Kris's actual house. They just used it to pose as her crib -- obviously, they didn't show her real home for security reasons.

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.
