Money

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck bought a palace of a home earlier this year, but even all these months later ... they still appear to be trying to furnish the place, or so it seems.

The couple went shopping Saturday, hitting up a furniture/interior design store in L.A. ... and plopping down on one of the display couches on the floor to test it out a bit. They were photographed from outside, and it looks like they did a bit more than just sit and chill.

Take a look for yourself ... Jen and Ben were feeling a little romantic, smooching one another as they cozied up on the model sofa -- and chitchatting a bit here and there too.

Unclear if they ended up making a purchase or not -- whether it was the couch or otherwise -- but it looks like they're the type of people who like to see and feel what's gonna be in their house ... as opposed to just blind online catalog shopping, which they could easily do.

Again, J Lo and BA purchased their new estate way back in May -- throwing down $60 million for a huge property in Bev Hills ... which they started moving into right away. Based on pics of that whole process at the time, it seemed they each had a fair amount of stuff.

The pad itself has a lot of space to fill -- so snapping up extra furniture, even now, isn't all that crazy. Their mansion has 12 bedrooms, plus a ton of other rooms for lounging and whatnot. Safe to say, it takes time to deck it out ... especially if they're in-person shoppers.

What's funny ... Jen and Ben are just like the rest of us in this regard. The only difference is that most folks are hitting Ashley -- and they're swinging by an upscale decor showroom, with prices that quickly run up into the 5 figures and beyond.

Jennifer Lopez y Ben Affleck compraron un palacio para hacerlo su hogar a principios de este año, pero incluso todos estos meses después... aún parecen estar intentando amueblar el lugar, o así parece.

La pareja fue de compras el sábado a una tienda de muebles y diseño de interiores en L.A., y se dejó caer en uno de los sofás en el piso de exhibición para probarlo un poco. Fueron fotografiados desde el exterior, y parece que hicieron un poco más que sentarse y relajarse.

Véalo por usted misma... Jen y Ben se sentían un poco románticos, besándose mientras se acurrucaban en el sofá modelo-- y charlando un poco aquí y allá también.

No está claro si terminaron haciendo una compra o no -- si fue el sofá o algo más -- pero parecen ser del tipo de personas que les gusta ver y sentir como sería en su hogar... a diferencia de realizar las compras a ciegas sobre un catálogo de compras en línea, lo que bien pudieron haber hecho fácilmente

Una vez más, J Lo y BA compraron esta nueva residencia el pasado mes de mayo -- dejando 60 millones de dólares para una enorme propiedad en Bev Hills... a la que comenzaron a mudarse inmediatamente. Basado en fotos de todo ese proceso en el momento, parecía que cada uno tenía una gran cantidad de cosas.

La casa en sí tiene mucho espacio para llenar -- por lo que la compra de muebles extra, incluso ahora, no es del todo una locura. Su mansión cuenta con 12 habitaciones, además de un montón de otros cuartos para descansar y otras cosas. Es seguro decir que llevará tiempo decorarla... especialmente si son compradores presenciales.

Lo que es gracioso... Jen y Ben son como nosotros en este sentido. La única diferencia es que la mayoría de las personas están yendo a Ashley -- y ellos están visitando una sala de exhibición de decoración de lujo, con precios que rápidamente llegarán a los 5 dígitos y más allá.

Another miss from Disney at the box office -- the studio's latest original animated movie bombed with moviegoers over the holiday break ... marking just the latest flop for 'em.

Of course, we're talking about "Wish" ... with Ariana DeBose as the main character and Chris Pine as the big bad and a bunch of other cute side characters. Unfortunately, none of them were enough ... 'cause "Wish" only made $31.7 million through the 5-day "weekend."

Ticket sales were getting counted as early as Wednesday, but come Sunday ... "Wish" had underperformed by a lot. Projections had it pegged at $45-$50 mil over the same 5 days.

It didn't do great internationally either, pulling in just $17.3M overseas ... bringing its total worldwide haul to about $49 million. In layman's terms, the film flopped -- and it ended up coming in third place behind 'Napoleon' (#2) and the 'Hunger Games' prequel (#1, again).

This is not good news for the Mouse House ... which usually dominates the Thanksgiving window. Up until last year -- when their other original animated feature "Strange World" performed abysmally -- Disney had put out hits around this time of the year ... including "Encanto," "Coco" and others, all of which made a crap ton of money right out the gate.

What's strange is that "Wish" actually got good reviews and great audience reception ... so it's unclear what exactly the problem was. It's possible the SAG strike hindered promotion of this movie ... but it also ended well before its release date, so it's a bit of a mystery.

Allison Holker le ha dicho oficialmente adiós a la casa de Encino que compartía con su difunto esposo Stephen "tWitch" Boss, luego de poner un aviso de venta y comprarse una casa de campo ultramoderna el mes pasado en Los Ángeles por $5 millones.

Once meses después del fallecimiento de Stephen, el fallecido DJ del programa de entrevistas de Ellen DeGeneres, era comprensible que Allison quisiera empezar de nuevo. Según los registros de bienes raíces, solo un mes después de listar la casa en $3,795,000, Allison la vendió por $3,525,000.

Con el capítulo de la propiedad cerrado, el que tenía 6 dormitorios, 7 baños, 4.600 pies cuadrados y donde tuvo recuerdos inolvidables con Stephen, el nuevo propietario ya está instalado para disfrutar.

Construida en 2018, la casa tiene algunas características particulares como una exhibición de vinos, una despensa de mayordomo en una cocina de chef profesional y una casa en la piscina con su propio baño privado.

Pero después de un año difícil, las cosas parecen ir mejor para Allison. Al parecer se acaba de comprar una casa más grande de 5.800 pies cuadrados, construida recién este año, con 6 cuartos de baño, una sala de cine, iluminación de diseño y puertas de cristal para tener la experiencia de vida interior y exterior perfecta de Cali.

Claramente, la mudanza marca un nuevo y muy necesario comienzo para Allison y sus hijos Weslie, de 15, Maddox, de 7 y Zaia, de 3.

Hablando con Hoda Kotb en mayo, Allison dijo que las conversaciones que tuvo con sus hijos tras la muerte de Stephen es algo que no le desea a nadie.

TMZ fue el primero en informar la noticia, Stephen murió en diciembre de 2022, dejando una nota de suicidio que hacía referencia a desafíos del pasado.

Allison Holker has officially bid adieu to the Encino home she shared with her late husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss ... selling it after purchasing an ultra-modern farmhouse in L.A. last month for $5 mil.

11 months after the passing of Stephen -- the late DJ from Ellen DeGeneres' talk show -- Allison was understandably seeking a fresh start. According to real estate records, just a month after listing the pad for $3,795,000, she's sold it for $3,525,000.

With Allison's chapter closed on the 6-bedroom and 7-bathroom 4,600-square-foot property where she made unforgettable memories filming dance videos with Stephen, the new owner is in for a treat.

Built in 2018, it has some defining features such as a wine display, a fully functioning butler's pantry in a pro-chef's kitchen, and a pool house ... with its own private bathroom.

But, after a challenging year, it's only onward and upward for Allison, who has reportedly purchased herself a larger 5,800 square feet home .... newly built this year with 6 bathrooms, a movie theatre, designer lighting, and glass doors for the perfect indoor-outdoor Cali living experience.

Clearly, the move marks a much-needed fresh start for Allison and her children -- Weslie, 15, Maddox, 7, and Zaia, 3.

Speaking to Hoda Kotb in May, heartbroken Allison said the conversations she had with her kids following Stephen's passing were something she didn't wish on anybody.

TMZ broke the story ... Stephen died by suicide back in December 2022 ... leaving a suicide note referencing past challenges.

Chuck Lorre -- the iconic television producer behind "Two and a Half Men," "The Big Bang Theory," & more -- had some unscripted drama go down at his Los Angeles-area crib earlier this month ... according to law enforcement.

They tell TMZ that cops responded to Chuck's home after his security alarm went off -- and upon arrival, found broken glass, signaling the would-be burglar's attempts to enter the abode through a window or glass door.

Police scoped out the home and surrounding area ... and while they found no suspects, they found plenty of evidence of an attempted burglary, including a tampered fuse box. Luckily, there wasn't a big bang.

We're also told that Chuck wasn't home at the time .... and it's believed the sound of the alarm scared off the thieves.

In a major plot twist ... we're also told that a week and a half later there was another alarm call to the same home ... as well as one in September.

It's unknown whether they were scoping out Chuck's home or trying to come back to finish the job.

Chuck Lorre —icónico productor de televisión detrás de "Two and a Half Men", "The Big Bang Theory" y más— tuvo un drama en su casa en Los Ángeles a principios de este mes, de acuerdo con la policía.

Los policías que respondieron a la casa de Chuck le dicen a TMZ que después de que se activara su alarma de seguridad y llegaran a la escena, encontraron vidrios rotos que indican que los posibles ladrones intentaron entrar por una ventana o puerta de cristal.

La policía inspeccionó la casa y sus alrededores y aunque no encontraron a ningún sospechoso, sí hallaron un montón de pruebas de un intento de robo, incluyendo una caja de fusibles manipulada. Por suerte, no hubo Big Bang...

Nos dicen que Chuck no estaba en la casa cuando ocurrió el incidente y se cree que el sonido de la alarma asustó a los ladrones.

En un giro importante de la trama, también nos dicen que una semana y media después hubo otra llamada de alarma en la misma casa, así como una en septiembre.

No se sabe si estaban explorando la casa del productor o si estaban tratando de volver para terminar el trabajo.

Jenna Ortega apparently liked a post reporting on Melissa Barrera doubling down on her pro-Palestine stance amid her recent firing -- that is, if these screenshots are to be believed.

Here's the deal ... in the days since news broke that Jenna was also exiting the 'Scream' franchise -- this amid Melissa's tumultuous firing over her Palestine rhetoric -- there's been a lot of speculation that JO actually sides with her costar, but distanced herself publicly.

That hunch was only further fueled when fans noticed that Jenna recently seemed to like an IG post from an account documenting celeb activity on Palestine ... which recapped MB defending her position post-firing ... news to which Jenna supposedly hit the like button.

Of course, if you go to this same IG page now ... Jenna's alleged "like" is nowhere to be found, and her own Insta page is also *mostly* free of any Palestine content -- as is her Twitter account, which has been deactivated. Old alleged tweets of hers, though, have been circulating ... and people are claiming she used to post pro-Palestine sentiments as well.

In other words, if Jenna did in fact like this IG post ... it would appear she's quietly cosigning Melissa's stance ... something just about everyone assumed was the case seeing how quickly she bowed out of "Scream VII" upon Melissa's ousting -- despite reports suggesting JO leaving had nothing to do with MB, and was more so due to scheduling conflicts.

Frankly, nobody buys that ... and depending on where you land on this issue, you're either celebrating Jenna or slamming her. In any case, the 'Scream' franchise is kinda screwed now.

Fact is ... Jenna and Melissa (but mostly Jenna) were far and away the biggest stars of the rebooted movies, and the whole story arc revolves around them. With both of them gone, there's only Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown left from the new OG cast.

They're cool and all, but they're mostly afterthoughts ... and their characters carrying on the saga doesn't really make sense without MB and JO. So, on paper, it would seem the "Scream 7" writers might have to go in a completely different direction with completely new actors, etc. Plus, fans are promising to boycott this latest sequel if/when it comes out ... so there's likely to be an uphill battle in drumming up interest/making the studio big bucks.

A Jenna Ortega aparentemente le gustó un post sobre Melissa Barrera en el que redobla su postura pro-Palestina en medio de su reciente despido. Esto es así, si le creemos a estas capturas de pantalla que están circulando.

La historia es así, días después de que se supiera la noticia de que Jenna también iba a salir de la franquicia "Scream", en medio del tumultuoso despido de Melissa por su retórica Palestina, ha habido mucha especulación de que Jenna Ortega en realidad está del lado de su coprotagonista, pero se distanció públicamente.

Esa corazonada fue alimentada aún más cuando los fans notaron que a Jenna pareció gustarle un post de una cuenta de Instagram que documenta la actividad de celebridades en Palestina y que recapitulaba el episodio de Melissa Barrera defendiendo su posición después del despido ... Noticia a la que Jenna supuestamente le puso "me gusta".

Por supuesto, si usted va a esta misma página de Instagram ahora, el supuesto "me gusta" de Jenna no se encuentra en ninguna parte, y su propia página de Instagram también está *casi* libre de cualquier contenido de Palestina, al igual que su cuenta de Twitter, que ha sido desactivada. Sin embargo, han estado circulando antiguos tuits suyos y la gente afirma que también solía publicar sentimientos pro-Palestina.

En otras palabras, si a Jenna de hecho le gusta este post de Instagram, parecería que está apoyando en silencio la postura de Melissa, algo que casi todo el mundo asumió que era el caso viendo lo rápido que se retiró de "Scream VII" tras el despido de Melissa. Esto, a pesar de los informes que sugieren que lo de Jenna no tuvo nada que ver y se debió más bien a conflictos de programación.

Francamente, nadie se lo cree y dependiendo de dónde te sitúes en este asunto, estarás celebrando a Jenna o criticándola. En cualquier caso, la franquicia "Scream" está un poco jodida en este momento.

El hecho es que Jenna y Melissa (pero sobre todo Jenna) eran por lejos las mayores estrellas de esta nueva edición de las películas, y todo el arco argumental gira en torno a ellas. Sin las actrices, solo quedan Mason Gooding y Jasmin Savoy Brown del reparto original.

Son buenísimos y todo eso, pero más que nada son una ocurrencia tardía y no tiene mucho sentido que sus personajes continúen en la saga sin Jenna y Melissa. Así que, sobre el papel, parece que los guionistas de "Scream 7" tendrán que tomar una dirección completamente distinta, con actores completamente nuevos, etc.

Además, los fans están prometiendo que van a boicotear esta última secuela si se estrena, así que probablemente será una batalla cuesta arriba para despertar el interés de las personas y hacer que el estudio gane dinero.

No Biggie, but you can snatch up a piece of hip hop history with signed fingerprint cards from the arrests of rap's greatest icons ... which are now up for sale.

Momentsintime.com -- one of the nation’s leading autograph dealers -- has listed two unique pieces of music memorabilia from rappers Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. ... earning its new owners some major street cred in exchange for a colossal $225,000 per item.

Check it out ... Tupac's fingerprint docs -- which list him under his real name, Lesane Parish Crooks -- stem from his 1995 arrest ... for which he served 9 months of his 1.5-year sentence after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a female fan named Ayanna Jackson.

Meanwhile, Biggie also makes history with his arrest fingerprint docs ... the first-ever piece you can snag of him signing off by his real name, Christopher Wallace.

With the '95 arrest season in full swing, Biggie was also booked then for a robbery and aggravated assault charge in Pennsylvania ... but the robbery charges were later dismissed.

No es exactamente Biggie, pero puedes quedarte con un pedazo de la historia del hip-hop con estas tarjetas de detención con las huellas dactilares de dos de los iconos más grandes del rap. Todo, porque ahora están a la venta.

Momentsintime.com es uno de los principales distribuidores de autógrafos de la nación y ha listado dos piezas únicas de los raperos Tupac y The Notorious B.I.G. por la generosa suma de $225.000 por cada artículo.

Compruébalo tú mismo, las huellas dactilares de Tupac, que aparece bajo su nombre real, Lesane Parish Crooks, corresponden a su detención en 1995. En ese entonces, cumplió 9 meses de una condena de 1 y año y medio, después de haber sido declarado culpable de agresión sexual a una fan llamada Ayanna Jackson.

Mientras tanto, Biggie también aparece con su verdadero nombre, Christopher Wallace y su futuro dueño se puede enganchar con otra pieza histórica.

Con la temporada de arrestos del 95 en pleno apogeo, Biggie también fue fichado por un robo y asalto con agravantes en Pennsylvania, pero los cargos de robo fueron desestimados más tarde.

Two key people in the viral Alabama riverboat brawl are capitalizing on their newfound fame ... by hawking merch based on the infamous fight.

Reggie Ray, who was charged with disorderly conduct after being identified as the man who whacked a folding chair at several people, and Tammie Howard teamed up with attorney Jehan "J" Carter to launch the new line of merch.

Carter tells us Ray and Howard wanted to create stock of their own after seeing other people selling clothing related to the riverboat brawl -- and using their likeness -- on sites like Etsy and Amazon.

Retailing between $12.99-$59.99, the "Alabama Brawl Collection" boasts a series of mugs, water bottles, hats, sweaters, and hoodies with the most common slogan: "Fade In The Water."

Other taglines from the unisex line-up include "Lift Every Chair And Swing," "Let Freedom Swing," "Chairman For Justice," and "Nathaniel Alexander, He Invented The Folding Chair So That You Could Swing."

Sizes range from S to 3XL, with the site urging people to snag the items to "celebrate the bravery of the Alabama Brawl."

Moving forward ... J Carter also tells us Reggie and Tammy have decided to take legal action against those who've used their likeness and trademarks without their consent.

Dos personas clave en la pelea del barco Alabama que se hizo viral están capitalizando su nueva fama, con una línea de mercancías basadas en la infame pelea.

Reggie Ray, quien fue acusado de alterar el orden público después de ser identificado como el hombre que golpeó con una silla plegable a varias personas, y Tammie Howard, se asociaron con el abogado Jehan "J" Carter para lanzar la nueva línea de merchandising.

Carter nos dice que Ray y Howard querían crear su propio stock después de ver a otras personas vendiendo ropa relacionada con la riña, y utilizando su imagen, en sitios como Etsy y Amazon.

Con un precio de venta al público de entre 12,99 y 59,99 dólares, la "Alabama Brawl Collection" cuenta con una serie de tazas, botellas de agua, gorras, suéteres y sudaderas con el eslogan más común: "Fade In The Water".

Otros eslóganes de la colección unisex son "Levanta cada silla y balancéate", "Que se balancee la libertad", "Presidente por la justicia" y "Nathaniel Alexander, inventó la silla plegable para que pudieras balancearte".

Los tamaños van desde S a 3XL y el sitio está instando a la gente a comprar los artículos para "celebrar la valentía del Alabama Brawl".

Avanzando, J Carter también nos cuenta que Reggie y Tammy han decidido emprender acciones legales contra quienes han utilizado su imagen y sus marcas sin su consentimiento.

Former USC Trojans defensive coordinator Alex Grinch is wasting no time getting out of town -- TMZ Sports has learned the coach is parting ways with his $4.45 million Palos Verdes pad just two weeks after getting fired.

Grinch's soon-to-be former home -- located in the Malaga Cove neighborhood -- has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a gourmet chef's kitchen and a patio with an incredible ocean view.

The place was built in 1961 but was completely remodeled just last year ... with new hardwood floors, Dutch and French doors, a gas fireplace, stainless steel appliances and a custom beverage center.

The backyard is perfect for hosting gatherings ... with a ton of space for outdoor activities.

The pics of the home show some of Grinch's framed jerseys from his former coaching gigs with Washington State and Missouri ... but we take it those ain't coming with the sale.

Worth noting -- the place is just a 5-minute drive from Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley's $17 million mansion ... so that might explain why Grinch is in a rush to move on, considering he's the one who fired him.

You may not ever be able to throw like Sandy Koufax, but you can now catch like him -- 'cause one of his game-used gloves has just gone up for sale!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... a mitt the former Dodgers star wore during his second MLB season way back in 1956 hit the Grey Flannel auction block on Monday -- and bidding has already reached over $48,000.

A lofty price tag, for sure ... but the glove is certainly worth it -- as the ultra-rare, 67-year-old piece helped Koufax and the Dodgers win the '56 N.L. pennant.

The Rawlings mitt has some cool markings that show it belonged to the legendary pitcher ... including his No. 32 near the wrist strap -- as well as his nickname, "Koo Foo," written in faded black marker on the glove's pinky.

"This is a rare find indeed, one that stretches back to Sandy's earliest days in Major League Baseball," Grey Flannel exec Michael Russek said. "His career speaks for itself and we're confident this glove will generate plenty of action."

Compassion and support are on John Oates' mind ... after being sensationally slapped with a restraining order from his former jam buddy Daryl Hall last week.

Breaking his silence following the legal turmoil ... the 75-year-old dropped a T'Giving IG selfie Thursday ... encouraging all to go above and beyond to help those suffering worldwide -- because nothing says "I'm taking the high road" like a cryptic call for empathy ... right?!

He wrote in the caption: "During this time of communal reflection and connection with loved ones, let's not forget those experiencing challenges globally."

Oates added ... "As we come together, consider reaching out to support those in need—whether through local charities or international humanitarian initiatives. May our collective efforts contribute to a more compassionate and supportive world."

As we previously reported ... the longtime friendship between the world's greatest rock and soul duo soured after Hall hit Nashville Chancery Court on Nov. 16, begging for a restraining order against Oates ... which was granted the following day and effective Nov 30.

The file is sealed, and no information is publicly available ... however, our sources say the fallout is over which one of their songs Oates is allowed to sing on his own.

Oates had a string of concerts scheduled earlier this month ... but his most recent two on Nov 9 and 10 were canceled and rescheduled for next year ... and it's not clear why.

It looks like Oates will be taking a backseat from the stage for a while now ... well, until the matter is resolved between the pair.
