Hall & Oates Restraining Order Muzzles Oates ... Hall Says Keep My Songs Out of Your Mouth!!!

Hall & Oates are on the outs over what songs John Oates is allowed to sing by himself ... sources familiar with the dispute tell TMZ.
As we reported, Daryl Hall got a restraining order against his longtime compadre last week, although the file has been sealed and no information is publicly available.
The 2 -- BTW, the most successful duo in music history -- have been in arbitration, we're told, trying to work out the ground rules of who can sing what as a solo artist, along with money issues of course ... so say our sources.
Hall ran to court on November 16, asking for a restraining order against Oates ... and the judge granted that order the next day.
It's no coincidence ... Oates had a slew of concerts scheduled for this month -- November 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 10. The November 9 and 10 concerts were postponed until next year, although no reason was given. This aligns with Hall going to court just days later for the restraining order.
SEPTEMBER 2022
Hall appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast last year and made it clear ... something bad was going on in the group. Bill asked about his "partner" John Oates, and Hall fired back Oates was not his partner creatively ... they were just business partners. Translation ... them's my songs, not his.
As for what songs are on the table, well, there are a lot, including, "Kiss On My List," "Rich Girl," "Maneater," "You Make My Dreams," "One on One," "Out of Touch," "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling," and "Private Eyes."

Hall had a concert Thursday in Tokyo, where he played the duo's hits to a huge crowd. Looks like Oates can't do the same, at least for now.

Teyana Taylor Secretly Filed to Divorce Iman ... He's a Jealous Narcissist!!!

Exclusive
- 12.7K shares
UPDATE
11/24 8:54 AM PT -- Teyana's lawyer Tanya Mitchell Graham released a statement regarding the divorce saying, "Ms. Taylor has tried to resolve this matter amicably and privately in order to protect all parties involved, particularly the parties’ minor children.
"Ms. Taylor requests that the parties’ privacy be respected such that the parties and their minor children are not negatively impacted, and the parties’ divorce can be finalized."
11/23 10:34 AM PT -- Iman's lawyer, Stephen C. Steele tells TMZ, "Mr. Shumpert hopes parties and counsel can work toward a fair resolution, keeping the best interests of the children of paramount concern."
Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are getting divorced ... she secretly moved to end their marriage nearly a year ago and claims he's been a jealous narcissist during their 7-year marriage.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Teyana filed to divorce the former NBA star way back in January ... more than 8 months before they announced a separation.
In the docs, Teyana details the demise of their marriage ... accusing Iman of being jealous about her fame and feeling insecure about being good enough for her, despite the fact he was earning way more playing basketball than she could ever dream of making in music.
Teyana claims Iman would grow annoyed when they would attend public events together, and photogs would ask for him to step out of frame.
She says when Iman signed a $40 million contract with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers in 2015, the same year he was also paid $8 million by the New York Knicks, he remained aggravated by her notoriety, jealous of her acting career and insecure about being her man.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Teyana wanted to keep this private as long as possible, initially choosing to file with their initials. However, Iman's recent filing in the divorce proceedings included full names, thus thrusting everything into the spotlight.
Teyana claims that's when Iman started sending her negative text messages with condescending and manipulative language in response to her being in the spotlight. She claims he would pick fights with her for no reason, even on her birthday, and then apologize.
In the docs, which Teyana filed in Georgia, she says she now feels Iman was "treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage."
She says she "began to intentionally dim her light for her husband to try to have a harmonious and peaceful marriage" as Iman "became more and more angry" about her stardom.
What's more, Teyana says she turned down recording opportunities and acting gigs because Iman "did not want her to work." But she says when she stopped working after giving birth to one of their kids, Iman complained about her not making money.
Teyana says she fought to keep their family together despite Iman "being extremely emotionally and mentally abusive towards her." She says she used her connections to get Iman gigs in Hollywood as his NBA career wound down, but says he "unfortunately insisted on bickering" to the point where in 2021 she began the divorce process.
She says they reconciled but it was short-lived because Iman "remained in an insecure state as his NBA career continued to wind down."
In the docs, Teyana says in 2022 she found herself being manipulated and controlled by Iman and filed for divorce ... only to ask her legal team to withdraw the filing one day later.
Teyana says she finally pulled the trigger in January because she was "unable to handle the emotional rollercoaster."
She claims Iman has been involved in multiple cheating scandals during their marriage and cites his DUI arrest and recalls the time in 2022 when he was arrested for weed possession in an airport. Teyana also alleges Iman once crashed her Rolls Royce and fled the scene to avoid a second DUI arrest.
Teyana says she tried to stay with Iman through thick and thin but says he "reacted with further cruel treatment and selfishness." After she secretly filed for divorce, she says Iman insisted on them getting back together only to be lackadaisical and inconsistent and become involved in another cheating scandal, which she says was embarrassing and humiliating.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As we reported ... Teyana announced their separation in September and said, "To be 1000% clear, 'infidelity' ain’t one of the reasons for our departure." Now, she says was just being graceful towards him.
Teyana says Iman left their family home in October and hasn't spent significant time with their 2 children since then. She's asking for temporary and permanent primary physical custody, plus joint legal custody and child support.
TMZ broke the story ... Teyana and Iman got hitched back in 2016, tying the knot while wearing biker jackets.
Now, she says their marriage is "irretrievably broken" ... which seems painfully obvious based on the litany of issues between them -- at least in her eyes.
We reached out to Iman's camp and a rep for Teyana ... so far no word back.

Jamie Foxx está siendo acusado de una agresión sexual en una azotea que supuestamente ocurrió hace 8 años en NYC.
Según la demanda obtenida por TMZ, Foxx estaba en Catch NYC & Roof en agosto de 2015, alrededor de las 11 PM, cuando la demandante llegó para sentarse en el salón y bar de la azotea. Ella dice que se dio cuenta de que Jamie estaba una mesa de distancia.
Alrededor de la 1 AM, la amiga de la demandante le preguntó a Foxx si se tomaría una foto con ella y la demandante. Ella afirma que él dijo: "Claro nena, cualquier cosa por ti", y parecía intoxicado en ese momento. Ella afirma que él le tomó más fotos y comentó: "Vaya, tienes ese cuerpo de supermodelo", "hueles tan bien" y le dijo que se parecía a Gabrielle Union.
La desconocida afirma que Foxx tiró de ella por el brazo hasta la zona trasera de la azotea, donde supuestamente le puso ambas manos en la cintura, las pasó por debajo de la camiseta y empezó a frotarle los pechos. Ella afirma que trató de alejarse y se dio cuenta de un guardia de seguridad y otras personas que vieron lo que había sucedido, pero optaron por alejarse.
En los documentos, la demandante afirma que Foxx entonces supuestamente deslizó su mano en sus pantalones y puso sus dedos sobre su vagina y el ano. Ella dice que su amigo se acercó y vio lo que estaba pasando y fue cuando Jamie dejó de tocarla.
Afirma que resultó herida y tuvo que someterse a tratamiento médico, y que sufrió dolor, sufrimiento y angustia emocional como consecuencia de la "agresión sexual, abuso, asalto y agresión".
Demanda a Foxx, Catch y sus empleados por daños compensatorios y punitivos.

MELISSA BARRERA responde al despido de "Scream" "el silencio no es una opción"
Melissa Barrera dice que su despido de la franquicia 'Scream' no la silenciará y dice que no es antisemita.
La actriz respondió a su expulsión de "Scream 7" con una declaración en su historia de Instagram, explicando por qué ha dado demasiadas opiniones sobre la guerra en el Oriente Medio.
Por supuesto, fueron las historias de Instagram de Melissa las que la echaron de la película en primer lugar, después de que la productora detrás de "Scream 7" considerara sus comentarios incitadores al odio y antisemitas.
En respuesta, Melissa dice ... "El silencio no es una opción para mí".
Ella comienza condenando el antisemitismo y la islamofobia y habla en contra del odio y los prejuicios contra todas las personas.
Melissa dice que su herencia mexicana le hace sentir la responsabilidad de utilizar su plataforma para "concienciar sobre temas que me preocupan y prestar mi voz a los necesitados".
Y añade: "Creo que un grupo de personas NO son su liderazgo, y que ningún órgano de gobierno debe estar por encima de la crítica".
Recordemos que Melissa fue despedida de "Scream 7" por sus posts sobre Israel y Palestina, incluyendo uno en el que aparentemente aludía a un viejo texto sobre la gente judía que controla los medios de comunicación. En otro post, Melissa comparó Gaza con un campo de concentración.
Spyglass Media Group, la productora detrás de su despido, dice que le mostró la puerta porque: "Tenemos tolerancia cero con el antisemitismo o la incitación al odio en cualquiera de sus formas, incluidas las referencias falsas al genocidio, la limpieza étnica, la distorsión del Holocausto o cualquier cosa que cruce flagrantemente la línea de la incitación al odio".
Melissa dice que no estaba siendo antisemita y parece que no va a sentarse y callarse ahora que ha perdido un lucrativo papel en una película por sus opiniones.
Melissa Barrera 'Scream' Firing Response ... I Won't Be Silent On Israel-Hamas War!!!
Melissa Barrera says her firing from the 'Scream' franchise won't silence her ... and she says she's not antisemitic.
The actress responded to her "Scream 7" ouster with a statement on her Instagram story, explaining why she's been so vocal about the war in the Middle East.
Of course, it was Melissa's IG stories that got her booted from the movie in the first place ... after the production company behind "Scream 7" deemed her comments hate-inciting and antisemitic.
In response, Melissa says ... "Silence is not an option for me."
She starts out by condemning antisemitism and Islamaphobia ... and speaks out against hate and prejudice against all people.
Melissa says her Mexican heritage makes her feel a responsibility to use her platform to "raise awareness about issues I care about and to lend my voice to those in need."
She adds ... "I believe a group of people are NOT their leadership, and that no governing body should be above criticism."
Remember ... Melissa got fired from "Scream 7" for her posts about Israel and Palestine, including one where she seemingly alluded to a long-standing trope about Jewish people controlling the media. In another post, Melissa compared Gaza to a concentration camp.
Spyglass Media Group, the production company behind her firing, says it showed her the door because ... "We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech."
Melissa says she wasn't being antisemitic ... and it sounds like she won't sit back and shut up now that she's lost a lucrative movie role over her views.

Jim Irsay On 2014 Arrest ... Cops Targeted Me 'Because I'm A Rich, White Billionaire'
Jim Irsay says he was targeted by police during his 2014 arrest ... emphatically believing cops were prejudiced against him because he's "a rich, white billionaire."
The Indianapolis Colts owner made the eyebrow-raising statements to Andrea Kremer during an interview with HBO Sports that aired earlier this week.
In their chat, Kremer asked Irsay if his DUI arrest in Carmel, Ind. some nine years ago was a "low point" for him ... and a few seconds later, he sounded off.
Here is the video of #Colts owner Jim Irsay discussing his DUI in 2014 on @RealSportsHBO. There’s footage of a field sobriety test, which he did not perform well.
— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) November 22, 2023 @RomeovilleKid
“The arrest was wrong. I had just had hip surgery. … And what? They asked me to walk the line. Are you kidding me?” https://t.co/JPJUVSTBAk pic.twitter.com/yQwdwojcKw
"I am prejudiced against because I'm a rich, white billionaire," Irsay told her. "If I'm just the average guy down the block, they're not pulling me in, of course not."
Carmel police had said at the time of the arrest they stopped Irsay for, among other things, driving too slowly as well as failing to use his turn signal. They eventually put him in cuffs after they claimed he failed their sobriety tests.
Dashcam footage from the scene appeared to show Irsay having trouble walking while talking with cops outside of his car. Cops say toxicology results, meanwhile, showed he had multiple painkillers in his system, including oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Irsay, however, still told Kremer, "The arrest was wrong."
"I had just had hip surgery, and had been in the car for 45 minutes," he said. "And what -- they asked me to walk the line? Are you kidding me? I can barely walk at all."
Irsay eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated ... and was sentenced to 1 year probation. He told Kremer he only cut the deal with prosecutors because he wanted to get the case "over with."
For the Carmel Police Department's part, it said in a statement to The Indianapolis Star on Tuesday regarding Irsay's allegations, "We are very sorry to hear that comment about our officers and our department."
"We have a very professional agency consisting of officers that strive to protect our community with integrity and professionalism."

Sunday was T-Raww's actual birthday and he enlisted the WTB Agency to morph a private West Hollywood residence into a makeshift club "Studio 34" ... disco ball and all!!!

Axl Rose ha sido demandado por una supuesta agresión sexual a una ex modelo de Penthouse que afirma que la arrastró "como un hombre de las cavernas" y la violó.
Sheila Kennedy —que fue la mascota del año de Penthouse en el 83— acaba de presentar una demanda contra el líder de Guns N' Roses, alegando que la ató y la penetró analmente con su pene durante una fiesta en 1989.
De acuerdo con los documentos, obtenidos por TMZ, Kennedy dice que conoció a Axl en un club de Nueva York en febrero de ese año y volvió a una fiesta privada en su suite del hotel, a la que señala que asistieron un montón de personas que supuestamente estaban consumiendo drogas.
Ella afirma Axl intentó seducirla, y que dice todo estaba bien al principio, hasta que supuestamente despejó la habitación para solo quedara ella, otra modelo femenina y un amigo. Kennedy afirma que vio como Axl tuvo relaciones sexuales agresivas con otra modelo que luego fue a otro dormitorio con el amigo de Axl, antes de que las cosas se pusieran mal.
Según Kennedy, Axl montó en cólera con la otra mujer y la echó, solo para supuestamente llegar a la otra habitación y descubrir que todavía estaba allí, momento en el que —según ella— la arrastró por el pelo de vuelta a su cama, le ató las manos con pantimedias y la agredió sexualmente. Kennedy dice que nunca dio su consentimiento y se sintió dominada mientras sucedía.
En las secuelas, Kennedy dice que quedó traumatizada, afirmando que ha experimentado ansiedad y depresión similar al trastorno de estrés postraumático. También afirma que su vida amorosa ha sido dañada y busca daños y perjuicios. Kennedy ha detallado sus acusaciones públicamente antes.

Axl Rose is being taken to court over a decades-old alleged sexual assault of a former Penthouse model ... who claims he dragged her "like a caveman" and violated her.
Sheila Kennedy -- who was Penthouse's Pet of the Year in '83 -- just filed suit against the Guns N' Roses frontman ... claiming he tied her up and anally penetrated her with his penis during a party in 1989.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kennedy says she met Axl at an NYC club in February of that year and went back to a private party back at his hotel suite, which she notes was attended by a bunch of people who were allegedly doing drugs.
She claims Axl put the moves on her, which she says she was fine with at first -- that is, until he allegedly cleared the room so that it was just her, another female model and a pal of his left. Kennedy claims she witnessed AR have aggressive sex with the other model before fleeing to another bedroom with Axl's friend ... before things allegedly went south.
Per Kennedy, Axl flew into a rage with the other woman and booted her ... only to allegedly come to the other room and discover she was still there -- at which point, she claims he dragged her by the hair back to his bed, tied up her hands with pantyhose, and sexually assaulted her. Kennedy says she never consented and felt overpowered as it was happening.
In the aftermath, Kennedy says she was left traumatized ... claiming she's experienced anxiety and depression akin to PTSD. She also claims her love life has been damaged too ... and now, seeks damages. Kennedy has detailed her allegations publicly before, FWIW.

Hall & Oates Hall demanda a Oates en misterioso litigio por sus canciones
Hall & Oates, uno de los dúos más exitosos y emblemáticos de la historia de la música, no solo dejaron de llevarse bien... también están en litigio.
Daryl Hall presentó una demanda en contra de su antiguo compadre musical John Oates, alegando algún tipo de incumplimiento de contrato. Lo que es más, Hall consiguió una orden de alejamiento en contra de Oates el pasado viernes.
En cuanto a los detalles, el expediente judicial está sellado, pero hemos podido reunir algo de información que podría arrojar luz sobre esta disputa.
De acuerdo al sumario, Hall y Oates estaban en una especie de arbitraje por una disputa. Normalmente, los grupos musicales tienen sus propios contratos y parece que Hall cree que Oates violó ese acuerdo. En cuanto a lo que podría ser, posiblemente sea algo relacionado con la división de los derechos de autor o bien que Oates siga cantando las canciones del grupo en sus actuaciones en solitario.
Hall decidió amplificar las cosas, al ir a la Corte de Cancillería de Nashville y pedir una orden de restricción contra su excompañero, una solicitud que el juez concedió.
El hecho es que Hall y Oates han seguido sus propios caminos durante años. A veces se reunían, pero a menudo actuaban en solitario. Aunque no lo sabemos, bien podría ser que Hall piensa que Oates no tiene derecho a cantar sus canciones durante sus conciertos.
Oates ha estado de gira este año, la más reciente en Arizona a principios de este mes.
SEPTEMBER 2022
Hall criticó a Oates en el podcast "Club Random" de Bill Maher, refiriéndose a él como su "socio de negocios" y no su "socio creativo". De nuevo, parece que Hall cree que Oates no tiene derecho a cantar sus éxitos. Lo que es extraño, considerando que ambos co-escribieron muchas de sus canciones.
Hall & Oates Hall Sues Oates Over Hit Songs ... I Can't Go for That!!!
Hall & Oates, one of the most successful and iconic duos in musical history, are not just on the outs ... they're in litigation.
Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit against his former musical compadre John Oates, claiming some form of breach of contract. What's more, Hall got a restraining order against Oates this past Friday.
As for the details ... well, the court file is sealed, but we have been able to piece together some info that could shed light on the dispute.
It appears from the docket Hall and Oates were in arbitration over some dispute. Typically, musical groups have their own contracts, and it would seem Hall believes Oates violated that deal. As for what it could be ... possibly a dispute over division of royalties, or it could be over Oates singing their songs in solo acts.
Hall decided to amp things up, going to Nashville Chancery Court and asking for a restraining order against his former partner ... a restraining order which the judge granted.
Fact is ... Hall and Oates have been doing their own thing, on and off for years. Sometimes they reunited, but often performed solo. Although we don't know, it well could be Hall thinks Oates has no right to sing their songs during his concerts.
Oates has been touring this year, most recently in Arizona earlier this month.
SEPTEMBER 2022
Hall threw shade at Oates on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, referring to Oates as his "business partner" and not his "creative partner." Again, that makes it seem like Hall believes Oates has no right to belt out their string of hits. What's weird ... they co-wrote many of their songs.
