D.L. HUGHLEY EL HIJO DE T.I. Y TINY LOS INSULTÓ … ¡Lás únicas cucarachas que conocía eran actores pagados!

Published

D.L. Hughley le aconseja al hijo de T.I. y Tiny, King, que escuche la voz de la razón y comprenda por qué su colapso durante un juego de los Atlanta Falcons es "vergonzoso" para sus padres.

TMZ Hip Hop habló con D.L. el lunes en el aeropuerto LAX, donde llamó al estallido de King, insistiendo en que creció medio pobre, lo que es absolutamente "insultante" para los logros de vida de Tip y Tiny.

En caso de que te lo hayas perdido, King terminó sometido por su padre dentro de su lujoso palco en el estadio Mercedes-Benz, resultado de King afirmando que conocía la vida en el trap por haber crecido en la casa de su abuela e incluso experimentado ver cucarachas que se le arrastraban por la cara.

D.L. menciona que King creció como estrella de reality a través de "The Family Hustle" de VH1 y que cualquier cucaracha que haya encontrado eran ¡actores pagados!

Como padre, D.L. piensa que las palabras de King cortan aún más hondo de lo que parece en el video. Afirma que todos los padres decentes se enorgullecen de que sus hijos estén alimentados y limpios, que la infancia de King pasa esa prueba con creces.

D.L. nos cuenta que sus propios hijos ni siquiera soñarían con expresar tal falta de respeto; son mayores y saben mejor las cosas.

King seguía furioso en redes sociales, a un día después de enfrentarse a sus padres, pero D.L. está seguro de que eventualmente se dará cuenta de lo tonto que es todo esto.

¡Es rico, por amor al cielo!

DON LEMON BACKS ELON MUSK'S ISRAEL VISIT ... 'PR Move Or Not, I Think It's Really Smart!'

OVERALL GOOD MOVE

Don Lemon is backing Elon Musk's trip to Israel ... after the tech mogul touched down in the Middle East Monday to survey the destruction left behind by Hamas.

The ex-CNN host landed at LAX Monday, telling us it's possible the billionaire's trip could be seen as damage control after he was accused of being antisemitic. However, Lemon believes Elon will still learn something worthwhile -- PR move or not.

In case you missed it, Elon wrote on X there was "truth" in a post that suggested Jews hate white people ... obviously getting a ton of heat in the process.

Don believes the more Elon sees during his trip, the better ... including the damage inflicted by Israel in Gaza -- only warning he should only visit if it's safe to do so.

While Elon is a divisive figure, Don notes his contributions to electric vehicles and space industries have made him influential in world history -- so naturally, it should be a good thing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to show him around his country.

Government officials joined Elon during a tour of the wreckage of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in one of the targeted villages that day.

EM's trip comes during a brief window of opportunity, with Israel and Hamas agreeing to a temporary ceasefire as they negotiate the release of hostages and the delivery of aid to Gaza.

SHAKIRA PAGA UN EXTRA DE $7 MILLONES EN UNA NUEVA INVESTIGACIÓN … presunto fraude en 2018: informe

Published | Updated

Shakira no está exenta de problemas fiscales, El gobierno Español la investiga de nuevo en un caso separado y ha tenido que pagar millones mientras los fiscales siguen investigando, de acuerdo con un nuevo informe.

Sabemos que Shakira resolvió su caso penal con el gobierno Español la semana pasada, pagando alrededor de $27 millones para obtener una sentencia más leve después de admitir los cargos por fraude fiscal entre 2012 y 2014, con su reconocimiento en el tribunal ante un juez.

SHAKIRA EN EL TRIBUNAL

Sin embargo, de acuerdo con el artículo reciente del periódico Español El Periódico, esto no es todo, ya que ahora los fiscales están indagando sobre un supuesto fraude fiscal de 2018, un caso completamente diferente al que se trató hace apenas 6 días.

El medio afirma que Shakira ha “depositado” un extra de $7.2 millones en esta nueva investigación, aunque no está claro si esto es simplemente una fianza que está entregando para evitar problemas o si es una cantidad completamente nueva que está pagando para deshacerse de los cargos.

El Periódico, citando fuentes anónimas del tribunal, sugiere que este último pago en efectivo es un gesto de Shakira para recibir más indulgencia cuando el caso finalmente se resuelva, lo cual es un tanto extraño y muy diferente a cómo se manejan las cosas aquí, en Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, el medio señala que su pago no es necesariamente una admisión de culpabilidad.

De ser cierto, ella terminará perdiendo estos $7.2 millones más adelante, con un total pagado de alrededor de $34 millones para resolver sus problemas fiscales, los cuales la han perseguido durante años.

Honestamente, es bastante impactante, pero suponemos que este tipo de cosas pueden ocurrir cuando eres tan rica como ella. Se estima que tiene un patrimonio neto de alrededor de $300 millones.

Nos hemos comunicado con el representante de Shakira… pero hasta el momento, no hemos recibido respuesta.

Novak Djokovic '16 French Open Winning Racket Up For Auction ... Caught By Lucky Fan!

Published

A tennis fan, like a lottery ticket landing in her lap, caught Novak Djokovic's French Open final-winning racket after an epic match with Andy Murray in 2016 ... and now the piece of tennis history is up for auction!

The backstory is awesome -- Abby Doherty, a college student in 2016, traveled to Paris with her family to watch the famed French Open at Roland-Garros ... where she witnessed several matches, including the much-awaited tourney final between top-seeded Djokovic and 2nd-seeded Murray. Two all-time players.

Novak dropped the opening set of the June match, 3-6, before ticking off three sets in a row (6-1, 6-2, 6-4), and securing another F.O. title.

Djokovich was over the moon ... and after a bunch of celebrating (and a moment of good sportsmanship with Murray), the tennis legend used his Head racket to draw a heart in the famous clay court.

Then, Novak launched the Head racket into the crowd ... right where Abby was seated. She stuck her hand out, and boom -- snatched it out of the air!

Her dad almost immediately took a photo of his daughter, who was beaming.

That same Head Speed Graphene Touch PT113B racket, which has been photo-matched by experts to the French Open final (and several other French Open matches, including the Semifinals), is now available at SCP Auctions ... and their experts believe it could sell in excess of $100 grand!

The 27-inch long racket features Novak's custom double-wrapped, calfskin leather grip ... and shows signs of wear and tear from the match with Murray.

The win also marked a "calendar year" Grand Slam for N.D. ... meaning he won all 4 Major events (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) within a 365-day period.

With 24 Major titles (including 3 French Open wins), Djokovic is widely considered the greatest tennis player of all time. Rafael Nadal has 22, followed by Roger Federer at 20, and Pete Sampras with 14.

Bidding ends for the Novak racket on December 2. Good luck!

Kanye West Wants to Buy Out Lil Durk's Contract After Dubai Show Together

ROCKIN' OUT IN DUBAI

Kanye West and Lil Durk may be working together a lot more in the future if all goes according to Ye's plan ... which is to free Durk of his current label situation.

Sources close to Kanye's camp tell TMZ Hip Hop that Ye is currently in talks to buy Durk out of his contract with Alamo Records in the aftermath of their new "Vultures" collaboration. That's the one where Ye claims he can't be antisemitic because, "I just f***** a Jewish bitch."

Our sources tell us 300 Records co-founder and current Alamo Records CEO Todd Moscowitz refused to clear Durk for another song he worked on for Kanye's upcoming album ... and now the paperwork battle is upon us.

Kanye was joined by Durk and the song's other featured artists, Ty Dolla $ign and Chicago rap legend Bump J at Blu Dubai nightclub over the weekend where they performed "Vultures" live for the first time ever.

The "Dark Twisted Fantasy" rapper's Dubai trip has been an eventful one so far ... he and his former personal trainer had a tense interaction inside a hotel lobby last week.

Chris Brown has also been taking heat after he was filmed dancing with Ye and crew along to the "Vultures" song -- no different, though, from everyone else inside the club during the performance.

Shakira Pays An Extra $7 Mil in New Tax Probe ... Alleged 2018 Fraud: Report

Published | Updated

Shakira isn't out of the woods on the tax front -- Spain is coming after her again in a separate probe, and she's had to pay millions as prosecutors keep digging ... this per a new report.

We know Shakira settled her criminal case with the Spanish government last week -- having shelled out around $27 million to receive a lighter sentence after copping to tax fraud charges between 2012 and 2014 ... with an in-court acknowledgment she made before a judge.

However, according to a recent story from Spanish newspaper El Periodico -- she ain't done just yet ... 'cause now, prosecutors are drilling down on alleged tax fraud from 2018, which is a completely different case than what was dealt with just 6 days ago.

The outlet says Shakira has "deposited" an extra $7.2 million in this new investigation -- although it's unclear if this is just a bond, of sorts, she's forking over to stay out of trouble ... or if it's a straight-up new settlement amount she's paying to make the charges go away.

El Periodico, which is citing anonymous court sources here, makes it seem like this latest cash payment is a gesture from Shakira to receive further leniency when the case eventually wraps up ... which is a little strange and quite different than how we do things here in the States. The outlet notes, though, that her paying this isn't exactly an admission of guilt.

If this is true, and she ends up losing this $7.2 million down the line ... that would mean, all told, she's paid about $34 million or so to clear up her tax problems -- which have been dogging her for years.

Pretty shocking, to be honest ... but hey, we suppose this sorta thing can happen when you're as rich as she is. She's got an estimated net worth of about $300 million.

We've reached out to Shakira's rep for comment ... so far, no word back.

Kyle Kuzma Donates $60K In Clothing To Female Inmates ... Refurbishing Housing Conditions, Too!

Published | Updated

'Tis the season of giving and Kyle Kuzma is off to an amazing start ... the NBA star donated $60k worth of clothes to female inmates preparing for release from county jail in his hometown of Flint, Michigan!

The Washington Wizards forward also launched an initiative to refurbish housing conditions for the women who are locked up.

The Kyle Kuzma Family Foundation partnered with I.G.N.I.T.E. and R.I.S.E., two jail reform organizations that support incarcerated women as they prepare to re-enter society.

Kuzma revealed the collaboration at the 23rd I.G.N.I.T.E. graduation ceremony at the county jail on Sunday ... by surprising the female inmates, and announcing the big $60k donation.

The 6'9" baller also handed out presents to kids who were there to visit their moms.

That's not all Kyle's doing ... the 28-year-old also launched "Kuz's Corner," which will help refurbish living conditions at the Genesee County Jail.

"Kuz’s Corner provides incarcerated female inmates something to reach towards, and prove to themselves, and others of their worth and value," the foundation said in a press release.

"The females chosen to reside in Kuz’s Corner have set themselves apart as role models in their behavior, mentorship, and strive to return to the community as a better neighbor."

Kuzma -- who's averaging nearly 23 points a game this season -- cares deeply about his foundation which helps single mothers and children in Michigan, the DMV (D.C. Metro area), and Los Angeles ... a cause that hits close to home.

"When I was growing up, she worked two jobs and that hard work and dedication, just to make ends meet, put food on the table," Kuzma said about his mom Karri on GMA.

"That’s been my inspiration my entire life."

Kuzma -- who launched his foundation in 2019 -- is the first NBA player to lock in a jail reform program.

DOMINIQUE WILKINS ¡¡¡SAQUÉ MI PROPIA TARJETA DE NOVATO!!! ... Pero quería la de M.J.

Published

Aquí hay una historia loca -- Dominique Wilkins abrió recientemente un paquete de antiguas tarjetas de la NBA... y para su suerte, ¡¡sacó su propia tarjeta de novato!!

Todo esto fue documentado en video... cuando la leyenda de los Hawks se unió al director general de OTIA Sports, Jason Koonce, para romper un lote sin abrir de tarjetas de baloncesto Fleer de 1986 con la esperanza de encontrar una tarjeta de novato de Michael Jordan en el paquete.

Para su información -- la serie Fleer de 1986 está repleta de tarjetas de novatos de la época... incluidos MJ, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon y, por supuesto, Dominique Wilkins.

El tirón fue bastante divertido -- el "Human Hightlight Film" recordó cómo jugó contra varios jugadores a medida que iba desvelando la baraja... que contenía grandes nombres como Magic Johnson, Larry Bird y Bill Walton.

Una vez que Wilkins se topó con su propia cara, el grupo de chicos empezó a alborotarse... con Koonce jurando hasta la extenuación que la carta no había sido plantada.

"Esto estaba sellado, no estaba planeado", dijo Koonce en el video. "Eso es una locura".

"Por la vida de mis hijos, ¡esto no fue montado!"

La tarjeta podría tener un alto valor dependiendo de su estado... ¡algunas en muy buen estado se cotizan actualmente en internet por miles de dólares!

Lamentamos que no hayas sacado una de M.J., Dominique... ¡pero tú también fuiste un muy buen jugador!

Dominique Wilkins I Pulled My Own Rookie Card!!! ... But Wanted M.J.

Published

Here's a crazy story -- Dominique Wilkins opened a pack of old NBA cards recently ... and as luck would have it, he pulled his own rookie card!!

The whole thing was documented on video ... when the Hawks legend joined OTIA Sports CEO Jason Koonce to break an unopened batch of 1986 Fleer basketball cards in hopes of finding a Michael Jordan rookie in the pack.

FYI -- the '86 Fleer set is filled with a ton of rookie cards of that era ... including MJ, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon and, of course, Dominique Wilkins.

The pull was pretty cool -- the Human Highlight Film reminisced about playing against several players as he revealed the deck ... which featured big names like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Bill Walton.

Once Wilkins came across his own face, the group of guys started freaking out ... with Koonce swearing up and down the card was not planted.

"This was sealed, this was not planned," Koonce said in the video. "That is insane."

"On my kid's life, that was not set up!"

The card could be pretty valuable depending on its condition ... some in great shape are currently listed online for thousands of dollars!!

Sorry ya didn't pull an MJ, Dominique ... but you were a pretty damn good player, too!!

Kim Kardashian Coming to Netflix w/ Comedy Film ... After Studio Bidding War

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian is jumping from Hulu to Netflix -- at least for movies, anyway -- 'cause she sold a forthcoming comedy she'll star in to the streaming giant ... this after a ton of interest.

Deadline broke the news Sunday ... a new flick called "The Fifth Wheel" just got sold to Netflix after an apparent bidding war to snap up the rights among 5 different studios. In the end, Netflix made the winning offer ... although it's unclear how much they shelled out.

This film isn't written or shot yet ... Kim K and the 2 co-writers who came up with the concept -- Paula Pell and Janine Brito -- simply sold the idea ... and now they'll actually make it. Kim's gonna play the lead ... a "fifth wheel" among an ensemble of female actors.

The rest of the plot deets are being kept under wraps ... but word is, Pell and Brito immediately thought of Kim for this and pitched her. After she came aboard, they started hitting the town as soon as the actors' strike ended and collectively shopped it around.

Deadline says Kim's been present at a lot of the meetings, and her involvement spurred a lot of studios to open their doors and take the movie under consideration. BTW, she's not only gonna act in this thing ... but she'll produce as well, alongside Pell and possibly others.

Pell is a well-known and established TV comedy writer ... as is Brito. Pell's got a lengthier resume, with tons of 'SNL' credits. She also wrote the Amy Poehler/Tina Fey movie "Sisters." Paula also notably EP'd Judd Apatow's 'This Is 40.'

Considering Pell's extensive history with 'SNL' stars ... you can probably expect that same type of mid-2010s humor for this new movie -- just with a little Kim K star power twist.

Of course, the bigger takeaway here is the fact that Kim's diving further into the acting pool. She already had a run on 'AHS' this year ... plus all the other smaller roles she's done in the past. This would be an even greater flex, though ... her straight-up leading a comedy.

We'll see how it turns out ... Deadline says this got picked up by Netflix's "mid-budget" team -- and according to reports, Netflix is aiming to spend between $30-$80 million on those.

The empire grows, still.

Jen & Ben Smooching On Display Couch ... While Furniture Shopping

Published | Updated

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.

Happy hunting, you two!

JEN Y BEN BESUQUEO EN EL SOFÁ DE EXHIBICIÓN ... Mientras compran muebles

Published | Updated

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.

¡Feliz cacería a los dos!

Disney Latest Animation Flick 'Wish' Flops Box Office Woes Continue

Published | Updated

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.

Mind you, this is just the latest fizzle for Disney this year -- others include the last 'Indiana Jones' movie, "The Haunted Mansion," "The Marvels" and others. Rough year, indeed.

DJ STEPHEN 'TWITCH' BOSS VIUDA VENDE SU CASA POR 3.5 MILLONES DE DÓLARES

Published

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.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

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.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

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.

DJ STEPHEN 'TWITCH' BOSS WIDOW SELLS THEIR HOME FOR $3.5M

Published | Updated

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.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

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.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

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 'TWO AND A HALF MEN' CREATOR Blew a Fuse ... L.A. Home Hit By Would-Be Burglars

Published

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.

We're told LAPD took an attempted burglary report and is investigating ... and so far, no arrests have been made.
