1:20 PM PT -- Ron Zambrano, the attorney for the plaintiffs suing Lizzo tells us, "Her entire speech was all about her. That’s not a humanitarian. The only time she talked about others was to take credit for her own donations."
He continues of the speech, "It confirms it was a sham award designed as a PR stunt aimed to repair the damage to Lizzo’s false brand and persona of being accepting of everyone. Numerous former employees have personally told me a completely different story."
Lizzo is sending a very clear message -- she loves and supports "Black fat women" -- giving them a spotlight as she accepted a humanitarian award.
The singer was honored Thursday night with the Black Music Action Coalition's Humanitarian Award and surrounded herself with about 20 plus-sized women.
Lizzo Sued by Ex-Dancers for Sexual Harassment, Hostile Work Environment
As we reported, Lizzo's recently been targeted in two separate lawsuits, accusing her of allowing racial harassment, sexual harassment and more on her tour. While she didn't specifically mention the lawsuits, Lizzo gave a speech that certainly addressed them.
Lizzo promised she'd continue to, "Amplify the voices of marginalized people because I have a microphone and I know how to use it." While stating she will, "Continue to put on and represent and create safe spaces for Black fat women, because that’s what the f**k I do."
Lizzo was sued Thursday by a woman who claims she was brought on to do wardrobe for Lizzo's tour in 2023.
Lizzo Sued by Tour Employee for Racial Harassment, Sexual Harassment and More
In the lawsuit, the woman says Lizzo's plus-sized dancers were left with barely any room to change backstage, often made fun of by the predominantly white male stage crew.
A rep for the singer called the lawyer who filed the lawsuit and shamed them for, "recruiting someone to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, wait for it, never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo. We will pay this as much attention as it deserves. None.”
After the award show, Lizzo attended dinner at West Hollywood hot spot, Craig's ... but she didn't address her comments any further on her way inside.

David Foster Sus hijas critican al gobernador Gavin Newsom ... "Él es el péor"
Las hijas de David Foster no están dando tregua al gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, a quien acusan de intentar convertir a Cali en un estado socialista.
Las hermanas Erin y Sara criticaron a Newsom en su podcast, "El Primer Podcast del Mundo", diciendo que hay una razón por la que mucha gente quiere rescatar a su estado natal y es que están hartos de lidiar con toda la regulación, cortesía de Newsom.
Su crítica contra el gobernador se produjo después de que Erin revelara que se va a mudar del Estado de Oro a Nashville.
Eso no es todo. Las hijas de David se han quejado del gobernador Newsom por un proyecto de ley que Sara dice obligaría a las personas que se hayan mudado de California a seguir pagando impuestos en el Estado durante una década.
Para que conste, la propuesta de ley en cuestión, presentada por primera vez a principios de año, se centraría en las personas que ganan $30 millones o más al año, y las empresas lucrativas que decidan retirarse del Estado. La ley propuesta obligaría a pagar a las personas y empresas que amasan riquezas mientras residen en Cali, pero se mueven a otro lugar antes de liquidar esa riqueza.
Sara piensa que Newsom está detrás de la propuesta, declarando que es "el peor".
David Foster Daughters Drag CA's Gavin Newsom ... He's 'The Worst'
David Foster's daughters ain't holding back on California's Governor, Gavin Newsom ... calling out the politician and grousing he's trying to turn Cali into a socialist state.
Sisters Erin and Sara skewered Newsom on their "The World's First Podcast," essentially saying there's a reason lots of people are bailing from their home state ... they're sick of jumping through regulatory hoops, courtesy of the Guv.
Their rant came after Erin revealed she was getting out of The Golden State and moving to Nashville.
That's not all .. David's kids rail on Gov. Newsom for a bill that Sara says would force people who move out of the State to continue to pay CA taxes for a decade.
For the record, the proposed exit law in question -- first introduced at the beginning of the year -- would target rich folks who make $30 million or more a year and lucrative businesses that leave the State. The proposed law would require people and businesses that amass paper wealth while residing in Cali but move before liquidating that wealth.
Sara says she thinks it's Newsom behind the proposal, declaring him to be "the worst."

Tory Lanez La vida en prisión es un montón de embutidos

Uno de los mayores ajustes de Tory Lanez en la cárcel será en su intestino, pues en lugar de comer como una celebridad, se va a sentir más como un niño hurgando en su lonchera.
TMZ obtuvo el menú de la primera semana de Tory en North Kern State Prison en Delano, California, y nos enteramos de que ha estado despertando temprano para probar un poco de carne picada, huevos duros, cereales, leche y café para el desayuno.
Los almuerzos de Tory han consistido en galletas de mantequilla de maní, galletas crackers, bebidas sin azúcar y algunos sándwiches bastante simples... Estamos hablando de mortadela y mostaza en pan de trigo integral.
Por cierto, parece que los almuerzos se alternan entre sándwiches de mortadela o queso, también conocido como queso americano en el pan.
Y para la cena, Tory ha sido alimentado con cosas como salchichas calientes, verduras, ensalada de col, frijoles rojos, rollos y fruta enlatada.
TMZ dio la noticia, Tory fue ingresado en la prisión estatal este martes, un mes después de haber sido condenado a 10 años por descargar negligente un arma de fuego, asaltar con un arma de fuego semiautomática, y llevar un arma de fuego cargada y no registrada.
No estaba para nada contento en su foto policial... tal vez porque la superestrella ahora va a ganar alrededor de 30 centavos de dólar por hora de trabajo calificado mientras que esté en el interior.
¡¡¡Puede que Tory quiera ahorrar ese dinero para complementar el queso y la mortadela!!!

One of Tory Lanez's biggest adjustments to prison is gonna be in his gut ... 'cause instead of eating like a celebrity, he's gonna feel more like a grade school kid digging into his lunchbox.
TMZ obtained the menu from Tory's first week at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA ... and he's been waking up in the morning to grab some beef hash, hard-boiled eggs, hot cereal, milk, and coffee for breakfast.
Tory's lunches have consisted of peanut butter crackers, sugar-free drinks, and some pretty plain sandwiches -- we're talking bologna and mustard on whole wheat bread.
BTW, it looks like the lunches alternate between bologna sandwiches or cheese sandwiches ... aka American cheese on bread. Yeah, it's giving real Fyre Fest vibes.
Dinner might be his best meal of the day ... as he's been getting things like hot link sausages, veggies, coleslaw, red beans, rolls, and canned fruit.
TMZ broke the story, Tory checked in to the state prison on Tuesday a month after being sentenced to 10 years for negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.
He wasn't all smiles in his mug shot, either ... as the hugely successful artist will now be making about 30 cents/hour for skilled labor while he's on the inside.
Tory might wanna save up that cash for some commissary treats to supplement the cheese and bologna!!!

Cam'ron Reprises 'Paid In Full' Role... In Dame D.O.L.L.A.'s Vid!!!
Cam'ron is rewinding it back to 2002 when he starred in the Roc-A-Fella-produced film "Paid In Full" ... a cult classic still getting its props today thanks to Damian Lillard.
The (probably) soon-to-be ex-Blazer released his "Paid In Full" video Thursday from his new album "Don D.O.L.L.A." album featuring Cam reprising his old role.
Cam'ron played "Rico" in the popular gangsta flick ... which was a loose exposé on the life and times of Harlem drug dealers Rich Porter, Alpo Martinez and Azie "AZ" Faison.
Song costar Tobe Nwigwe also pops up in the clip, which he helped direct with Keoni Mars.
Dame's been part of an intense offseason free agency as he tries to get involved with the Miami Heat -- which he feels is also packed on his album, so he's been relentless with the promotion as of late.

Sophie Turner Pasa tiempo con su hija Horas después de demandar a Joe
Sophie Turner está peleando duro por sacar a sus hijas fuera de Estados Unidos y llevárselas a Europa, pero eso no le ha impedido disfrutar de algunos momentos cariñosos con su hija, mientras tanto.
Sophie fue vista con su hija de 3 años, Willa, el jueves mientras hacía algunos mandados en Nueva York. Tanto la madre como la niña tenían grandes sonrisas mientras caminaban juntas de la mano en compañía de otra amiga.
No hay señales de Joe, pero bueno, eso no es ninguna sorpresa dado el drama que se desató entre los dos temprano en el día.
Sophie demandó a Joe, alegando que tenían un acuerdo para criar a sus dos hijas en el Reino Unido, donde creían que vivirían una vida más segura y saludable. Sophie afirma que Joe ha ocultado los pasaportes de las niñas, lo que le impide llevarlas fuera de EE.UU.
Por su parte, Joe nos ha enviado un extenso comunicado en el que explica que un juez de Florida dictaminó que ninguno de los padres puede trasladar a sus hijas fuera de Estados Unidos mientras dure el proceso de divorcio.
Así que, abróchense los cinturones.

Jermaine Dupri I Invented Makin' It Rain in Clubs!!!💸 Strippers Said I Was Crazy
Jermaine Dupri is proclaiming himself the inventor of making it rain -- that time-honored tradition of tossing money around a club without caring where it lands -- but admits it wasn't always as cool as it looks!!!
The veteran producer shared his story Thursday on "The Estelle Show" on Apple Hits ... pinpointing his 1998 collab with Jay-Z, "Money Ain't a Thang," as the jump-off point for the trend ... but, then he decided to test out the rich flex IRL.
JD says the first time he hit Magic City and threw money in the air, the stripper gave him a puzzled reaction ... "You want me to get down on the floor and get my money???"
He says the 💡 went off when he attempted his cash splashes elsewhere, but got the same confused reactions ... he took it as a clear sign he was pioneering something big.
After the wave eventually caught on, JD says he also taught dancers how to split the money once it hit the ground ... proper strip club etiquette does go a long way in keeping the party going.
JD tells Estelle he gave icons like Quincy Jones and Janet Jackson their first Magic City experience -- so, he's a pro in ATL's strip club culture, if ever there was one!!!
JD's strip club adventures will provide invaluable insight to his upcoming doc "Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told," which has many who attended the '90s event "freaking out" over possibly being seen in a compromising position all these years later.

Joe Jonas Dinner With Nick ... Night Before Sophie Sues
Joe Jonas seemingly found some comfort in his brother, Nick Jonas ... grabbing dinner in the night before his estranged wife, Sophie Turner, slammed him with a lawsuit over the custody of their kids.
Two-thirds of the Jo Bros were at The Waverly Inn in NYC Wednesday night -- and Joe seemed to be deep in conversation with Nick as they dined.
BTW, this spot is a couple blocks away from where Sophie was hanging out with Joe's other ex, Taylor Swift, the night before.
She was also spotted at The St. Regis Hotel in New York on Thursday, hours after suing her estranged husband ... so they're still not that far from each other.
As we reported, Sophie claims Joe is illegally keeping their 2 kids in New York and wants them brought back to England, as laid out in an explosive lawsuit she filed Thursday morning.
Sophie says she agreed -- "with some hesitation" -- to let the kids stay with him while he was touring in the U.S. because she was working on her time-consuming series overseas, but that agreement was supposed to last until September ... when she would "collect the children and return home to England."
She even cited an international treaty that deals with child abduction across country lines ... so she's keeping pretty serious about getting her kids back to her.
In response, Joe's rep issued a lengthy statement ... saying Sophie's wishes would violate an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children," also reiterating that he's open to sharing custody with her if she moves to England full-time.
Do you think the Sophie Turner/Joe Jonas divorce war will get uglier? Vote below.

Travis Kelce I Invited Taylor Swift To My Game 'We'll See What Happens In The Near Future'
Travis Kelce just confirmed he has at least made contact with Taylor Swift amid rumors the two have been hanging out recently ... revealing he invited the pop superstar to an upcoming Chiefs game.
Pat McAfee got the tight end to open up about rumors he's been quietly seeing Swift the last few weeks on Thursday's episode of the "The Pat McAfee Show" ... and while Kelce didn't exactly address any details head on -- he did admit he's been talking to the "Cruel Summer" singer.
"It's hilarious how much traction this has actually got," the 33-year-old said. "I think it's, right now, it's like that old game in school called 'Telephone,' where everybody is just whispering in each other's ear, just hearing some random stuff."
Kelce said his brother, Jason, has been one of the main reasons the gossip has exploded recently ... and he playfully scolded the Eagles star for it.
"The guy is absolutely ridiculous," Kelce said of his older bro, who's commented a few times on the potential relationship since last Thursday. "He can't stay out of the frickin' headlines."
"Please," Travis added, "everybody stop asking my brother about my love life."
Kelce previously said he wanted to shoot his shot in the form of a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it when she performed at Arrowhead Stadium in July, but had no luck connecting with her.
It certainly sounds like it eventually worked ... 'cause Kelce said he has, in fact, been in communication with Swift.
"I threw the ball in her court and, you know, I told her, 'I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead,'" he told McAfee. "'You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.'"
"So we'll see what happens in the near future."

Joe Jonas Estuvo cenando con Nick ... La noche antes de la demanda de Sophie
Joe Jonas parece haber encontrado consuelo en su hermano, Nick Jonas, con quien lo vimos cenando la noche antes de que su esposa, Sophie Turner, lo demandara por la custodia de sus hijos.
Dos tercios de los Jo Bros estaban en The Waverly Inn en Nueva York el miércoles por la noche, y Joe parecía estar muy concentrado en la conversación con Nick mientras cenaban.
Por cierto, este lugar se encuentra a solo un par de cuadras de donde vimos a Sophie pasando el rato con la otra ex de Joe, Taylor Swift, la noche anterior.
También fue vista en el Hotel St. Regis de Nueva York el jueves, horas después de demandar a su marido separado ... por lo que aún están bien cerquita el uno del otro.
Como informamos, Sophie asegura que Joe está manteniendo ilegalmente a sus dos hijas en Nueva York y quiere que ambas sean traídas de vuelta a Inglaterra, como se establece en una explosiva demanda presentada este jueves por la mañana.
Sophie dice que accedió "con algunas dudas" a que los niños se quedaran con él mientras estaba de gira en EE.UU., porque estaba trabajando en su serie en el extranjero. Pero se suponía que ese acuerdo solo duraría hasta septiembre, cuando ella "recogería a los niños y volvería a casa a Inglaterra."
Ella incluso citó un tratado internacional que se ocupa de la sustracción de menores entre países, por lo que se está tomando muy en serio que sus hijas vuelvan con ella.
En respuesta, el representante de Joe emitió un extenso comunicado en donde dice que los deseos de Sophie violarían una orden que restringe a ambos padres la reubicación de los niños ", reiterando también que está abierto a compartir la custodia con ella si ella se muda a Inglaterra a tiempo completo.

TRAVIS KELCE "HE INVITADO A TAYLOR SWIFT A MI PARTIDO"
Travis Kelce acaba de confirmar que se ha puesto en contacto con Taylor Swift en medio de rumores de que los dos han estado saliendo recientemente, revelando que invitó a la superestrella del pop al próximo partido de los Chiefs.
Pat McAfee consiguió que el tight end se abriera sobre los rumores de que ha estado viendo a Swift las últimas semanas en el episodio del jueves del "The Pat McAfee Show", y aunque Kelce no abordó exactamente ningún detalle sí admitió que ha estado hablando con la cantante de "Cruel Summer".
"Es hilarante la cantidad de tracción que esto realmente ha conseguido", dijo el jugador de 33 años de edad. "Creo que en este momento es como ese viejo juego de la escuela llamado 'Teléfono' donde todo el mundo está susurrando en el oído del otro y se pasan el mensaje".
Kelce dijo que su hermano, Jason, ha sido una de las principales razones por las que los chismes han explotado recientemente y regañó juguetonamente a la estrella de los Eagles por ello.
"El tipo es absolutamente ridículo" dijo Kelce sobre su hermano mayor, quien ha comentado varias veces sobre la posible relación desde el jueves pasado. "No puede mantenerse fuera de los malditos titulares".
"Por favor", añadió Travis, "que todo el mundo deje de preguntarle a mi hermano sobre mi vida amorosa".
Kelce dijo anteriormente que quiso hacer un intento de acercarse a Taylor y no se le ocurrió una mejor idea que hacerle una pulsera de la amistad con su número de telefónico en él para dársela cuando ella actuó en el estadio Arrowhead en julio, pero no tuvo suerte de conectar con ella.
Ciertamente suena como que finalmente trabajó ... 'causa Kelce dijo que, de hecho, ha estado en comunicación con Swift.
"Lancé la pelota en su campo y, ya sabes, le dije: 'Te he visto rockear en el escenario de Arrowhead'", le dijo a McAfee. "'Tendrías que venir a verme a mí rockear el escenario en Arrowhead y ver cuál está un poco más iluminado'".
"Así que ya veremos qué pasa en un futuro próximo".
