Russell Wilson Benched In Denver

Russell Wilson has been sidelined in Denver ... the Broncos are benching the future Hall of Famer.
Head coach Sean Payton made the decision this week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, informing his team Wednesday that backup Jarrett Stidham will now be the starting signal-caller going forward.
Wilson has been largely a disappointment since Denver traded a bevy of picks and players for him prior to the 2022 season ... but, per Schefter, the move also has a lot to do with the 35-year-old's contract.
Schefter reported Wednesday that leaving Wilson on the bench will ensure he won't get injured -- and therefore $37 million of his contract will not become guaranteed in 2024.
The former Super Bowl champ had arrived in Colorado with huge expectations, but he was one of the worst QBs in the NFL in '22 -- throwing just 16 TD passes to 11 interceptions.
His 2023 campaign, however, had seen far more ups -- he's thrown for 26 TDs and just 8 INTs this season -- but the Broncos are still just 7-8 ... and have lost three of their last four.

Complicating matters further for Wilson, Payton was seen screaming at him on the sidelines during Denver's blowout loss to Detroit earlier this month.
Stidham, meanwhile, has played sparingly in his four-year NFL career ... logging just two starts. He'll get a chance to show what he can do next when Denver plays on Sunday against the Chargers.

La única copia de la Lista de Schindler está volviendo al mercado de nuevo después de un recorte de precios.
La reliquia histórica está actualmente a la venta por $1.8 millones a través de la compañía de recuerdos Momentos en el Tiempo a través de un coleccionista que obtuvo la lista de la familia de Itzhak Stern contador de Schindler y mano derecha.
Con los años, la lista ha estado a la venta un par de veces ... con su precio de venta siempre por encima de $ 2M - el más alto es de $ 2.5M ... aunque nunca ha tenido ningún comprador.
El coleccionista espera que el precio rebajado sea más asequible ... con el sitio entusiasmado por la oportunidad de "adquirir un artículo de magnitud verdaderamente increíble".
Esta lista, fechada el 18 de abril de 1945, es la penúltima de un total de 7 ... con 14 páginas y 801 nombres.
También es una de las cuatro únicas listas que existen, una de las cuales se encuentra en el Museo del Holocausto de Washington D.C. y las otras dos en el Centro para la Memoria del Holocausto Yad Vashem, en Jerusalén.
La venta de este artículo es especialmente relevante hoy en día ... dado el rápido surgimiento del antisemitismo en medio del conflicto Israel-Palestina.
Los documentos fueron utilizados por el industrial alemán Oskar Schindler, que salvó la vida de más de 1.200 judíos durante el Holocausto empleándolos en sus fábricas de esmaltes y municiones.
Schindler fue el protagonista de la aclamada película de Steven Spielberg "La lista de Schindler" (1993), que recibió siete Oscars por la interpretación de Liam Neeson y Sir Ben Kingsley.

The only copy of Schindler's List ever for sale is hitting the market again ... following a price cut.
The rare historical relic is currently on sale for $1.8 million through memorabilia company Moments in Time ... via a collector who obtained the list from the family of Itzhak Stern -- Schindler's accountant and right-hand man.
Over the years, the list has been up for sale a few times ... with its asking price always over $2M -- the highest being $2.5M ... though it's never had any takers.
The collector hopes the lowered price is more affordable ... with the site gushing over the opportunity to "acquire an item of truly incredible magnitude."
This list, dated April 18, 1945, is the penultimate list of a total of 7 ... coming in at 14 pages long and listing 801 names.
It's also one of the only 4 lists in existence -- one is homed at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C ... the other two are in Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Center Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem.
The sale of this item is especially relevant today ... given the rapidly emerging antisemitism amid the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The docs were used by German industrialist Oskar Schindler ... who saved more than 1,200 Jews' lives during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunition factories.
He was the subject of Steven Spielberg's critically acclaimed 1993 film "Schindler's List" ... with the Liam Neeson/Sir Ben Kingsley-starring movie bagging 7 Oscars.

'Jeopardy!' Champ Austin Rogers Ken Earned Sole Daily Host Duty ... Mayim Should Do Specials

One of the biggest "Jeopardy!" champs of all time says the show is in good hands with Ken Jennings ... but he doesn't want Mayim Bialik to vanish completely.
We got Austin Rogers -- who went on a major hot streak in 2017 -- at Gaf East, a bar he just bought in New York City, and we asked him about Mayim announcing her exit as one of the "Jeopardy!" hosts.
Austin says the show will be just fine with Ken taking on an even larger role. Ken's become synonymous with "Jeopardy!" and AR feels he's a big enough name now to soften the blow of Mayim's departure.
Another "Jeopardy!" champ, Amy Schneider agrees ... telling us Ken is the right choice for the everyday hosting gig, in part because he's a big hit with the contestants.
While Mayim says Sony brass told her she won't be hosting the syndicated daily show, the studio is leaving the door open for her to host special episodes ... like "Celebrity Jeopardy" and other primetime tournaments -- and Austin explains why she's a good fit there.
TMZ broke the story ... Mayim's absence during the writers' strike made Sony execs realize they didn't need 2 hosts, and ultimately her loss was Ken's gain.
Austin says Mayim was still right to stand in solidarity with the writers, and he hopes she remains involved ... even if it's not on a daily basis.
Ken's not on Alex Trebek's level yet -- but Austin says he's doing a good job filling those massive shoes.

Rudy Giuliani Prays To God At Christmas Mass ... After Judge's Order To Pay $146 Million
Rudy Giuliani might be praying to God to help him pay the $146 million debt he owes to two former Georgia election workers he defamed -- and we got the pictures to prove it!!
The former NYC mayor was photographed attending the Christmas midnight mass with other worshippers at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. Rudy, accompanied by a brunette woman, sat down in one of the pews to listen to the priest's sermon -- and possibly ask the Lord for a large infusion of cash!!!
Strangely, Rudy was wearing a big grin on his face when he has very little to smile about lately. Case in point: Rudy just lost a massive legal battle in a Georgia civil court where a judge recently ordered him to pay the whopping sum of money to the two ex-election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss.
In their defamation suit, Freeman and Moss claimed Rudy had spread lies about them as he tried to overturn the 2020 Presidential election on behalf of Donald Trump, working as 45's personal attorney.
The women have filed a second defamation suit against Rudy for similar statements he made after the judge's first ruling.
As for Rudy, he has reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to seek protection from creditors given the massive sum of money he owes them.
But Rudy seemed to have a few bucks still stashed away in his bank account. On Thursday, TMZ obtained photos of Rudy pulling out cash from an ATM inside a Citi Bank.
Jesus, what a mess!!

Kim Zolciak showered her kids with gifts for Christmas despite her financial hardships.
Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she pulled together the dough she's made selling personal items online over the last few months ... ensuring the 4 kids she shares with Kroy Biermann didn't go without Xmas presents this year.
We're told the estranged couple's brood will always be their priority ... and despite the heightened drama between them, they chose not to travel for the holidays and instead were at home for the holiday at their Georgia mansion.
We don't know exactly what gifts she bought, but it must've been a pretty decent haul ... cause K&K have been making some serious $$$ selling designer goods online.
Earlier this month, Kim gave the boot to Kroy's shoe collection, selling them alongside her footwear and handbags ... tempting potential buyers with big names from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Valentino & more.
Of course, they decided to sell, sell, sell due to their mounting lawsuits over unpaid credit card bills.
They've also put their Georgia mansion on sale ... though they recently slashed the $6 mil price by $500K out of desperation.
Meanwhile, they've been squabbling like cats and dogs for months -- with one of their kids calling the cops on them following an explosive argument at their mansion in Nov. -- though it's heartwarming to know the kiddos ended the year with some festive cheer.

Kim Zolciak tuvo regalos de Navidad para sus hijos en medio de problemas financieros
Kim Zolciak no se quedó atrás bajo el árbol de Navidad, ya que llenó a sus hijos y a los de Kroy Biermann de regalos a pesar de sus dificultades financieras.
Fuentes cercanas a la pareja distanciada le dicen TMZ que ella reunió el dinero gracias a la venta de artículos personales en línea los últimos meses, asegurando que los cuatro niños que comparten juntos no se quedaron sin regalos de Navidad de este año.
No dice que sus hijos siempre serán su prioridad y a pesar del drama creciente entre ellos, optó por no viajar para las fiestas y en su lugar de eso celebraron el gran día juntos en su mansión de Georgia.
No sabemos exactamente cuáles fueron los regalos que compró, pero debe haber sido un botín bastante decente porque ha podido hacer buen dinero vendiendo artículos de diseño en línea.
A principios de este mes, Kim se deshizo de la colección de zapatos de Kroy, vendiéndolos junto a algunos bolsos, tentando a los compradores potenciales con grandes nombres de Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Valentino y más.
Por supuesto, decidió vender, vender, vender debido a sus crecientes demandas por impagos de tarjetas de crédito.
También han puesto su mansión de Georgia a la venta a pesar de que recientemente redujo su precio de $6 millones por $500K de la desesperación.
Mientras tanto, han estado discutiendo como perros y gatos durante meses -con uno de sus hijos llamando a la policía después de una discusión explosiva en su mansión en noviembre- aunque es reconfortante saber que los niños terminarán el año con un poco de alegría festiva.
'MOB WIVES' BIG ANG LATE STAR'S FAMOUS MURAL COVERED!!! Sis Trying to Find New Spot

Big Ang's famous Staten Island mural is no more, but the late "Mob Wives" star's sister is vowing to find a new place for a piece of art to honor Ang.
Janine Detore tells TMZ ... her landlord covered the larger-than-life tribute to Ang that had been on the side of her store -- Country Mouse Boutique -- following a dispute over some unpaid bills.
Janine says the turmoil started in September when she underwent tests for some health issues ... and doctors ended up telling her she has severe allergies to mold.
She says the docs suggested checking her store for mold to see if anything in the building was making her sick ... so, earlier this month, she paid someone to do just that.
Janine says she gave her landlord a heads up and got a text back, saying, "Just to let you know, this is coming down" -- referring to the mural.
We're told tensions escalated ... especially 'cause Janine admits she owes $27,000 in back rent. She's convinced the mural cover-up, which Janine says left her granddaughter in tears, was retaliation.
Janine tells us she's committed to finding a new location for the mural ... remaining adamant the city deserves another one, 'cause Ang did a lot for Staten Island.
We spoke to the landlord, who told TMZ a different story ... saying he tried to fix a broken boiler at the store last month, but she wouldn't let his contractors inside. He says when he told Janine she could fix it, and he'd reimburse her, she refused.
The landlord claims she's taking advantage of him and not paying her rent -- adding he thinks she's using the mural cover-up as a publicity stunt.
As for why he painted over it ... the landlord says it's nothing personal, it's just because he's selling the building.

Tyron Woodley Offered St-Pierre Millions To Fight ... But He Said No

Tyron Woodley has been open about wanting to fight Georges St-Pierre for years, going back to their UFC days ... and even though the guys are no longer with Dana White's organization, T-Wood still wants smoke with GSP!
In fact, TMZ Sports was talking to 41-year-old Woodley this week when he revealed that he has not only launched his own fight promotion (more on that coming), but he offered St-Pierre a crapload of money to scrap.
"Like Georges St-Pierre, I offered him a dumb bag, he said 'No. I'm not in that world anymore,'" Woodley revealed.
Tyron added ... "When I say dumb, I'm talking pushing the eight figures, a lot of money."
Eight figures indicates $10,000,000 ... a lot of money by any standard.
GSP last fought in 2017 ... when he returned after a four-year layoff to fight Michael Bisping. He won by submission (rear-naked choke) in the third round.
As for the promotion ... Tyron says it's not just about fighting.
"It's called The Realest International Promotion, TRIP. We're promoting all things art, we're not just doing mixed martial arts," Tyron explained, adding, "We're doing music, concerts, festivals, cryptocurrency, e-sporting events, boxing, and then we just doing a lot of crossovers."
There's a bunch more with Tyron ... including the former longtime welterweight champ's revelation that he, not John Gotti III, was originally scheduled to fight Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing match earlier this year.

BROOKLYNN PRINCE Grinnin' & Bearin' It for $65K!!! Teen's 'Cocaine Bear' Haul

Exclusive

Teen star Brooklynn Prince is climbing her way up the Hollywood ranks ... 'cause we've learned she cashed in for her recent role in "Cocaine Bear" with an eye-watering payday.
According to her minors contract, obtained by TMZ, the 13-year-old hauled in $65k, as a base salary, for her role as Dee Dee in the "loosely based on a true story" film -- which is all about a black bear wreaking havoc after it stumbles upon a smuggler's coke stash in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
And that's not all, as the contract states Brooklynn could've bagged additional box office bonuses totaling $500k more if the movie scored big at the worldwide box office.
Unfortunately, it only made a worldwide total of $89.7M following its release on Feb 24, 2023 ... so it doesn't look like any of the box office bonuses -- which only kick in once the movie hits $160 million worldwide -- were triggered.
Brooklynn starred in the goofy horror-comedy "Cocaine Bear" -- directed by Elizabeth Banks -- alongside Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Alden Ehrenreich and the late Ray Liotta.
She got the gig after winning critical acclaim in some impressive roles -- mainly 2017's drama "The Florida Project."
So, just bear with Brooklynn ... as it's only a matter of time before she takes over Hollywood.

Paseo por la naturaleza en Nochebuena con la familia de Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sanchez
Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez aterrizaron en Miami justo a tiempo para la Navidad, pero su "País de las Maravillas Invernal" parece un día normal de verano... basta con echarle un vistazo a sus atuendos.
La pareja fue a dar un paseo con los miembros de su familia el domingo en un parque cerca de su propiedad en Indian Creek Island, que ahora es la base de Bezos después de dejar atrás Seattle a principios de este año. Parece que están disfrutando bastante ya que se les vio muy felices.
Además, estaban vestidos como si fuera junio en lugar de diciembre, suponemos que tiene que ver con el clima en Florida, ya que es bastante caliente durante todo el año por lo que puede salirse con la suya con esto.
Lauren llevaba un top que dejaba al descubierto sus tonificados brazos y hombros, mientras que Jeff mostraba sus piernas en pantalones cortos. Por supuesto, también llevaban gafas de sol, de hecho, toda la familia las llevaba. Es notable la vibra que desprenden como unidad.
Recordemos que Jeff y Lauren estuvieron en el Caribe la semana pasada disfrutando de una escapada de vacaciones juntos, pero parece que querían estar de vuelta en los Estados Unidos para la víspera de Navidad.
Han sido unas semanas salvajes para ellos, donde han estado navegando en alta mar y celebrando cumpleaños con amigos estilosos y dinero de sobra. Sin embargo, ahora podemos verlos en un ambiente más discreto.
Ciertamente, se ven con los pies en la tierra y felices, mentalizados en su matrimonio por venir. Debe ser agradable ser estos dos en el nuevo año ya que tienen todo un mundo por conquistar.
Felices excursiones.
Bezos & Sanchez Nature-Filled Xmas Eve Stroll ... Back in Town After Vacay
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez touched down in Miami just in time for Christmas -- but their "Winter Wonderland" looks like a regular summer day ... just peep their walking attire.
The couple went for a stroll with their family members Sunday at a park near their Indian Creek Island property -- which is now Bezos' home base after leaving Seattle behind earlier this year. Looks like they're enjoying it out there ... 'cause they had some pep to their step.
Plus, they were dressed like it was June rather than December ... which we suppose comes with the territory in Florida -- it's pretty warm all year round, so they can get away with this.
Lauren was rocking a top that exposed her toned arms and shoulders ... whereas JB was showing off his legs in shorts. Of course, they were sporting shades too ... the whole fam was in fact. Talk about a power family -- that's the kind of vibe they give off as a unit.
Remember, Jeff and Lauren were just in the Caribbean last week enjoying a little holiday getaway together ... but it seems they wanted to be back stateside for Xmas Eve/Xmas.
It caps off a wild past few weeks for them, where they've been sailing the open seas and ringing in birthdays with friends in style ... with flash and cash to spare. Seeing them in a more low-key environment here seems to be them finally coming down off a year-long high.
They certainly look grounded and in lockstep unison ... telegraphing their marriage to come. It must be nice to be these two going into the new year -- they got a whole world to conquer.
Happy (hiking) trails, y'all.

T.D. Jakes, que ha sido tendencia esta semana luego de que corrieran los rumores de una asociación con el asediado productor musical Diddy.
El predicador de 66 años comenzó diciendo que algunas personas entraron únicamente para escuchar lo que tenía que decir sobre los rumores y rápidamente dejó claro que no lo haría.
"Todos ustedes que están esperando que diga mentiras... olvídenlo", dijo Jakes con voz desafiante.
Y continuó: "No voy a utilizar este día sagrado y este púlpito sagrado para hablar de una mentira cuando tengo la oportunidad de predicar una verdad. Me mantendré erguido, con la cabeza erguida, la espalda recta y predicaré la palabra infalible y no adulterada de Dios".
Esta semana, el nombre de Jakes se ha visto envuelto en una maraña de rumores en Internet, con usuarios de las redes sociales afirmando que el predicador asistía a fiestas sexuales organizadas por Diddy y cuestionando su sexualidad.
Él ya había negado la afirmación a través de un representante de relaciones públicas, que calificó los rumores de "inequívocamente falsos y sin fundamento".
Por supuesto, una asociación con Diddy no siempre fue tabú, pero a raíz de múltiples demandas por agresión sexual, incluyendo una que resolvió con su ex, Cassie, las relaciones con él han atraído el escrutinio.
Sin embargo, todo parece como de costumbre para Jakes... predicando su verdad el día de Navidad.

T.D. Jakes, who has been trending this week after rumors of an association with embattled music producer Diddy took hold online, denounced the rumors.
The 66-year-old preacher began by saying some people came in solely to hear what he had to say about the buzz ... and quickly made it clear he wouldn't.
"All of you who expect me to address a lie, you can log off," Jakes said in a defiant voice.
He continued, "I will not use this sacred day and this sacred pulpit to address a lie when I have chance to preach a truth. I will stand straight up, head up, back straight and preach the unadulterated, infallible word of God."
Jakes' name has swirled on the internet rumor mill this week with social media users claiming the preacher attended sex parties hosted by Diddy and questioning his sexuality.
He'd already denied the claim through a PR rep, who called the rumors "unequivocally false and baseless."
Of course, an association with Diddy wasn't always taboo, but in the wake of multiple sexual assault lawsuits, including one he settled with ex Cassie, relationships with him have drawn scrutiny.
It all seems like business as usual for T.D. though ... preaching his truth for Christmas Day.
