2:36 PM PT -- CBS finalmente hizo un cameo de Taylor en el juego, solo fue cuestión de tiempo.

Hubo fotos de ella animando a los Chiefs, por no hablar de su nueva relación con Brittany Mahomes, con quien parece ser buena amiga ahora. Fíjate en el apretón de manos que se dan luego de una gran jugada en el campo.

Como un par de amigas en el colegio, ¿Qué les parece?

Taylor Swift podría ser el amuleto de la buena suerte de Travis Kelce, especialmente cuando su equipo está jugando en casa ¡O sea hoy!

La cantante está en el estadio Arrowhead en este momento mientras los Chiefs juegan contra los Chargers. Taylor está en una suite privada alentando a su hombre. Ella no ha aparecido en las transmisiones de CBS todavía, pero imágenes de ella en el edificio ya han aparecido.

Un clip publicado por la NFL la muestra bailando con la esposa de Patrick Mahomes, Brittany, y su bebé y parece que el hermano pequeño de Pat, Jackson, está justo detrás de ellos.

Taylor está con los Chiefs como de costumbre, esto marca la tercera vez que viene a Kansas a ver a Travis.

Ir a los juegos de Travis se ha convertido en una especie de tradición para Taylor y es solo una muestra de que su relación con el Chiefs tight end va cada vez más en serio. Ella ya ha ido a un total de cuatro de sus partidos esta temporada (este incluido) y todo apunta a que seguirá así.

Recordemos que todo comenzó con Taylor apareciendo a finales de septiembre, siendo esta su aparición inicial, donde estuvo al lado de la madre de Travis, Donna. Desde entonces ha aparecido en Nueva Jersey para el partido de los Chiefs contra los Jets, trayendo consigo algunos amigos famosos.

Taylor se saltó el siguiente partido en Minnesota, pero se aseguró de venir en persona para el partido de la semana pasada contra los Broncos, donde ella apareció en Kansas City una vez más.

A juzgar por su nueva aparición, se podría decir que se está convirtiendo en algo habitual y suponiendo que la relación va a durar mucho más tiempo, los locales estarán felices de verla cada vez más.

Hasta ahora, no parece que los locutores hayan hecho mucha mención de Taylor hoy, lo que podría ser un reflejo de lo que algunos fans de la NFL piensan al respecto.

2:36 PM PT -- CBS did, indeed, pan to Taylor during the game ... it just took a little while.

There were shots of her cheering on the Chiefs, not to mention her losing her s*** next to Brittany Mahomes -- with whom she seems to be good pals now. Check out the little celebratory handshake they get into after a big play on the field.

Like a couple school girl BFFs, really. How 'bout that?!?

Taylor Swift might just be Travis Kelce's good luck charm -- especially when his team's playing at home, which they are today ... and which TayTay is on hand for yet again.

The singer is in Arrowhead Stadium right now as the Chiefs play the Chargers, and like she has been these past few weeks ... Taylor's up in a private suite rooting for her man. She hasn't been explicitly shouted out in the CBS broadcast just yet -- but footage of her in the building is already surfacing.

One clip posted by the NFL shows her dancing around with Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, and their baby ... and it looks like Pat's little brother, Jackson, is right behind them there.

Taylor's in Chiefs gear, per usual ... this marks her 3rd time coming to KC to see TK.

Going to Travis's games has become a bit of a tradition for Taylor now ... which just further confirms how serious she and the Chiefs tight end are becoming. She's already gone to a total of 4 of his games this season (this one included) and all signs point to her continuing.

Remember, it all started with TS swinging by back in late September -- which marked her initial appearance ... where she cozied up next to Travis' mom, Donna. Since then she's shown up in NJ for the Chiefs game against the Jets ... bringing along celeb pals.

Taylor skipped the following game in Minnesota -- but made sure to come out in person for last week's matchup against the Broncos ... where she was in Kansas City once more.

Seeing how she's out there again right now ... you could argue she's becoming a bit of a regular. And assuming the relationship goes on for much longer, locals can probably get used to seeing her more and more.

So far, it doesn't appear the announcers have made much mention of Taylor being in attendance today ... which could be reflective of some NFL fans groaning over that lately.

There's still a lot more football to go, though ... so we'll see if they name-drop her.

Britney Spears posts a lot of naked photos of herself these days -- and if you're wondering why, now you have an answer straight from the horse's mouth ... or book, rather.

A new excerpt from Brit's forthcoming memoir leaked to the New York Times, and they cite a quote from her in there that addresses this issue head-on ... which has been cause for a lot concern, but also a lot of ridicule.

BS writes ... "I know that a lot of people don’t understand why I love taking pictures of myself naked or in new dresses. But I think if they’d been photographed by other people thousands of times, prodded and posed for other people’s approval, they’d understand that I get a lot of joy from posing the way I feel sexy and taking my own picture."

So there you have it ... it sounds like it's yet another act of rebellion after being under a microscope -- not to mention the control of a conservatorship -- for well over a decade.

Brit's nude dumps are sorta par for the course for her social media patterns of late -- which also include dancing videos, sporadic rants and other random musings of hers. But her dressing down has turned off a good handful of folks ... especially her two sons.

Jayden and Sean Preston made a big public stink about their mom's nudes in interviews over the past year and change -- and they've also refused to see her in a while ... which seems to be her reality in the foreseeable future, considering they bounced to Hawaii with their dad.

Brit has expressed regret over not having her boys around as much as she'd like -- but she also hasn't put up much of a fight to regain custody of them either post-conservatorship.

Anyway, it's just the latest revelation to surface from her book, 'The Woman in Me' -- which hits the market on Tuesday.

Bad Bunny se hizo cargo de "SNL" el sábado por la noche a lo grande, como anfitrión y como invitado musical, compartiendo escenario con otras grandes celebridades.

Su monólogo de apertura fue hilarante; Pedro Pascal sirvió de "traductor" para Bad Bunny, quien, fiel a su estilo, pronunció su monólogo en español. Bad Bunny ha dicho en repetidas ocasiones, que no le gusta complacer al público angloparlante, ya que piensa en español, come en español y canta en español.

Todo fue muy gracioso, Pedro le pidió a Bad Bunny que mostrara una foto vergonzosa de él, pero el rapero respondió: "No se pudo encontrar nada".

Britney Spears publica muchas fotos de sí misma desnuda últimamente, y si te estás preguntando por qué, ahora tienes una respuesta directamente de sus labios.

Un nuevo extracto de las próximas memorias de Britney se 0filtraron al New York Times, y citan sus propias palabras al respecto, las cuales han sido motivo de mucha preocupación y burlas.

Britney escribe: "Sé que mucha gente no entiende por qué me encanta hacerme fotos desnuda o con vestidos nuevos. Pero creo que si hubieran sido fotografiados por otras personas miles de veces, pinchados y posados para la aprobación de otras personas, entenderían que me da mucha alegría posar de la manera que me siento sexy y tomarme mi propia foto".

Así que ahí lo tienen, suena como si fuera otro acto de rebelión después de estar bajo un microscopio, por no mencionar el control de una tutela durante más de una década.

Britney se ha tomado muchas fotos desnuda, además de videos de baile, comentarios esporádicos y otras reflexiones al azar. Su forma de vestir ha apagado a mucha gente, especialmente sus dos hijos.

Jayden y Sean Preston hicieron un escándalo público sobre los desnudos de su madre en las entrevistas el último año y se han negado a verla. Al parecer eso no va a cambiar en un futuro próximo, ya que se fueron a Hawai con su padre.

Britney ha expresado su pesar por no tener a sus hijos a su alrededor tanto como le gustaría, pero tampoco ha hecho muchos esfuerzos para recuperar la custodia.

De todos modos, esta es solo la última revelación de su libro, "The Woman in Me", que sale al mercado el martes.

Bad Bunny took over 'SNL' Saturday night in a big way, hosting AND performing as the musical guest, with lots of celeb firepower behind him.

His opening monologue was hilarious ... Pedro Pascal served as a "translator" for BB, who, true to form, delivered his monologue en Español. Bad Bunny has said repeatedly, he does not pander to English audiences. He says he thinks in Spanish, eats in Spanish and sings in Spanish.

Pretty funny ... Pedro asked Bad Bunny to show an embarrassing pic of him but BB replied, "Nothing could be found."

Bad Bunny brought his GF, Kendall Jenner, to 'SNL' .... she didn't appear on the show, but they were super tight during the after-party.

BB, Kendall and the cast, along with guest stars Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga, all hit up L'Avenue in NYC after the show.

Bad Bunny and Kendall were dressed casually... she was wearing a leather jacket and boots as they walked hand in hand into the bash.

Gaga's entrance was revelatory. She was also hand in hand with her ex, Michael Polansky. The 2 have been spotted together recently but it seems pretty clear ... they're giving it another try.

Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Ed Sheeran treated themselves to a Saturday night performance of U2's out-of-this-world "Sphere" Residency ... and we caught the trio rockin' out like there was no tomorrow.

The A-listers were watching Bono and Co. crank out their hit "It's a Beautiful Day" onstage inside the humongous planet-like arena created for the band's three-month Las Vegas Residency called "U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere," which kicked off in late September.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ  ... Tom and his wife, Rita, are standing side by side in an elevated seating area, while Ed is hanging out nearby. All three are engrossed in the show, bopping to the beats of the tune.

Suddenly, the song hits a crescendo and Tom/Rita go totally nuts, putting their dance moves into high gear and singing along to the lyrics.

Turns out Tom, Rita and Ed are just the latest in a long line of Hollywood's elite to enjoy the iconic rock group's Vegas Residency.

Sisqó has nothing but love for his fellow R&B maestro Mario -- but thinks his self-appointed spot on "the Mt. Rushmore of R&B" needs an immediate reality check!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Dru Hill frontman at LAX and the Song" creator just couldn't believe his eardrums. If you recall, Mario recently fixed his lips with the utmost confidence to tell us he deserves to be immortalized alongside Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Beyoncé!!!

Quite the lofty claim -- a little too lofty for Sisqó's tastes, who thinks Mario needs to have a couple of seats behind him -- in addition to the other legends he named!!!

Sisqó and Mario both hail from Baltimore a generation apart ... but Sisqó tells us he's clearly the big man on the harbor and questioned if Mario's catalog even came close to outselling his.

Record sales don't measure the complete scale of an artist but as a platinum-selling soloist and group member ... we're confident Sisqó has the upper hand here. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sisqó says he and Dru watched Mario come up and it's all 410 love at the end of the day ... but won't stand to be succeeded without the proper credentials!!!

Elsewhere, two of Sisqó biggest music favs just experienced a collision course -- Drake and the late Michael Jackson are now tied for No. 1 hits amongst male artists.

Usher has a knack for spotting famous ladies at his Vegas shows these days -- and Friday proved no different ... with none other than Doja Cat and Jessica Alba catching his eye.

The singer was doing his thing heading into the weekend, and like he normally does -- Usher made his way into the crowd as he continued to croon. Of course, he honed in on a couple of female celebs here were in the audience ... the same way he has for months now.

First, he spotted Doja ... who was celebrating her 28th birthday, and who seemed more than happy to entertain Usher -- especially as he floated along to his song 'There Goes My Baby.'

DC started dancing with Mr. Raymond ... and they even got the rest of the concert-goers to sing along as he put the spotlight on her. She wasn't nearly as timid as some other stars have been when Usher turns his sights onto them ... a little like Alba, who was next.

It's actually pretty funny how he noticed her ... 'cause as soon as he did, he scurried on over to give her the VIP treatment -- which, in this case, included a little twirl and 1-2 step!

Taylor Swift's 'Eras' film got torched by a critic who likened her movie to the downfall of society as we know it -- and all we can say about this over-the-top piece is ... holy crap.

This critique -- which is now going viral, for all the wrong reasons -- comes courtesy of Armond White of the National Review ... which is a well-known conservative outlet, so keep that in mind as we guide you through this nonsense.

White does a full-blown sociological examination of the 'Eras Tour' flick, as he sees it -- and you can tell how he views things from his headline and subheading ... "Taylor Swift's Asylum Seekers ... A movie concert promotes post-Madonna, post-Obama mind control."

You can read it all for yourself, but here's one excerpt that's getting mocked ... "The Swift circus doesn’t replace the thrill of originality and profundity that accompanied the advent of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Supremes, the Jackson Five, which Gen Z knows nothing about. Instead, Swift specializes in degraded girl-pop -- teenage solipsism, the silliness that kids will ideally outgrow. Yet her songs corrupt puppy love into jejune sophistication."

He then compares the movie's director, Sam Wrench, to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl ... namely, making Taylor's concerts far more grand/aesthetically pleasing than they actually are in person, the way Riefenstahl did for Hitler -- at least that seems to be White's POV.

Not just this, but White actually tries to juxtapose Swfities innocently dancing in theaters to mass shooter James Holmes, intimating a connection by writing ... "The teens in TikTok clips who pitifully bounce and sing along with the film’s pre-recorded concert are the flip side of those nerds and sociopaths who lined up for 'The Dark Knight Rises' in Aurora, Colo."

If that sounds unhinged, that's because it is ... that's certainly how Twitter feels about it, anyway. They're unloading on White's hyperbole over something as benign as a concert film.

He ends his scorched-earth review this way ... "Boomer parents may want to let them have their fun — same as toying with matches and playing in the traffic. But here’s a frightening fact of the Swifties pheenom: These kids seem ready for a leader, anxious for totalitarianism. It will take a counterrevolution to repair Swift’s moral, aesthetic, and political damage."

FWIW, White is very much a man apart here ... 'cause just about every other film critic (big and small) has praised the 'Eras' movie for being what it is -- a wholesome, good time.

La película 'Eras' de Taylor Swift fue incendiada por un crítico que comparó su película con la caída de la sociedad como la conocemos, y todo lo que podemos decir sobre ello es, ¡vaya mierda!

La crítica, que se está haciendo viral en este momento por todas las equivocadas razones, es cortesía de Armond White de National Review. Este es un conocido medio conservador, así que tenlo presente mientras les contamos sobre esta tontería.

En la crítica, White hace un examen sociológico completo de la película y solo con leer el titular y los subtítulos se puede ver de qué va: "Los solicitantes de asilo de Taylor Swift, un concierto de cine promueve el control mental post-Madonna, post-Obama".

Pueden leerlo con sus propios ojos, pero aquí hay un extracto que está siendo objeto de burlas: "El circo de Swift no reemplaza la emoción de la originalidad y la profundidad que acompañó el advenimiento de los Beatles, los Rolling Stones, las Supremes, los Jackson Five, de los que la Generación Z no sabe nada. En su lugar, Swift se especializa en un pop de chicas degradado: un solipsismo adolescente y tontería que los niños idealmente superarán. Sin embargo, sus canciones corrompen el amor de cachorro y lo convierten en una sofisticación ridícula".

A continuación, compara al director de la película, Sam Wrench, con la propagandista nazi Leni Riefenstahl, diciendo que está haciendo los conciertos de Taylor mucho más grandiosos/estéticamente y agradables de lo que son realmente en persona, de la misma manera que Riefenstahl hizo con Hitler, o al menos eso cree White.

No solo eso, White intenta yuxtaponer a los Swfities que bailan inocentemente en los cines con el tirador de masas James Holmes, insinuando una conexión al escribir: "Los adolescentes en los clips de TikTok que lastimosamente rebotan y cantan junto al concierto pregrabado de la película son la otra cara de esos nerds y sociópatas que hicieron cola para 'The Dark Knight Rises' en Aurora, Colo".

Si eso suena desquiciado, es porque lo es ... Y, Twitter siente lo mismo, muy ciertamente, ya que se están desahogando con la hipérbole de White por algo tan inocente como una película sobre un concierto.

El autor termina su crítica de esta manera: "Puede que los padres de la generación boomer quieran dejar que sus hijos se diviertan, igual que cuando juegan con cerillas y en el tráfico. Pero he aquí un hecho aterrador del fenómeno de los Swifties: Estos niños parecen listos para tener un líder, ansiosos de totalitarismo. Hará falta una contrarrevolución para reparar el daño moral, estético y político de Swift".

Para lo que es importante, White es un hombre muy aparte aquí, porque casi todos los otros críticos de cine (grandes y pequeños) han elogiado la película 'Eras' por ser lo que es -un tiempo de diversión.

12:57 PM PT -- A rep for Cher reiterated her denial about the kidnapping claim to TMZ, telling us ... "Not true thanks for checking."

Cher says she had nothing to do with the alleged "kidnapping" of her adult son -- this despite the fact her daughter-in-law has claimed the whole thing was orchestrated by mom.

The singer was asked point blank about this by the New York Post, which did a new interview with her chronicling her career and legacy. During the chat, they brought up this bizarre story that surfaced last month ... courtesy of Marieangela King (aka Queenie).

In recent court docs pertaining to her ongoing divorce from Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman, King made a startling allegation ... namely, that Cher supposedly had Elijah forcibly taken from his hotel room in late 2022 ... this while he and MK were attempting to reconcile.

Per Daily Mail, Elijah had been staying at a hotel in L.A. for several months at the time -- allegedly battling substance abuse -- when this staged abduction/intervention took place ... so says King in a declaration she made in court. She claims that, as they were talking in his room, four men stormed in and snatched Elijah against his will ... dragging him away.

King alleges that one of the men revealed to her that Elijah's mom, Cher, had actually hired them -- adding in her court paperwork, "I am currently unaware of my husband’s wellbeing or whereabouts. I am very concerned and worried about him." She also said she believed he was at a rehab facility at an undisclosed location ... without access to his phone.

Now, one month after all these revelations surfaced ... Cher is outright denying any involvement. She told the Post, "I didn’t do it, and if I did it, I wouldn’t say I did it."

She adds, "You never stop being a mom -- you go to the end, you go to the mattresses when you’re trying to save your children. But I didn’t do it. And if I did it, I wouldn’t care to tell you." Interestingly, this echoes what she told People about 2 weeks ago.

At the time, she said ... "I’m a mother. This is my job -- one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache -- mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them."

FWIW ... Elijah's father, Gregg Allman, died in 2017 from complications tied to liver cancer. Also, we've reached out to Cher's team for further comment -- so far, no word back.

Rod Wave is dedicated to his art -- so much so, in fact, that he recreated a perilous leap from a window live onstage for all his fans ... although, it's quite clear they didn't want this.

The rapper was performing in Lincoln, Nebraska Thursday ... and at one point in his sold-out show, he decided to play stuntman right then and there in front of everyone -- climbing on top of a set piece and reenacting something he did in one of his music videos.

Watch ... the dude scales the side of a fake building, going up the fire escape and eventually standing on the rail -- with his back turned to the audience. Guess what happens next!

RW goes crashing toward the ground below ... dropping like a sack of potatoes and eventually tearing through the stage floor itself. Indeed, it's pretty damn dramatic. It stunned the audience -- and even from the crowd, you can hear folks telling him not to do it.

The videos cut out before we can see what happens next -- but, presumably, he's alright ... on account of the fact that he was performing in Minnesota last night and is posting pics on his IG page. All's well that ends well, we suppose -- but damn, this was dangerous.

BTW, this whole fall-from-the-window thing is straight out of his music video for "Come See Me" ... which is the song that was playing when he did this. So, a little life imitating art.

Megan Thee Stallion's no longer tethered to the 1501 Certified Ent. label she railed against for years -- and Trinidad James thinks the "Savage" rapper can become an even bigger act.

TJ floated all the possibilities speaking to TMZ Hip Hop at LAX this week but predicts Meg will land all right. He says there's also a possibility momentum fizzles.

Thee Stallion is gearing up to resume her career Monday with a new release after telling fans she was entering a new journey, where she'll be paying out of her own pocket to give fans the good news.

TJ tells us having a solid team is crucial to making money in the music biz and the industry is especially shady when it comes to the needs of women.

Fat Joe suele llevar una vida de lujos a su alrededor, especialmente cuando se trata de sus ruedas. Recientemente, el rapero personalizó un Rolls-Royce Cullinan, por $750K, con un montón de características fuera de este mundo.

El Don ordenó este trabajo hace cuatro meses. Fue una compra improvisada después de que viera una versión de la amplia carrocería Rolls mientras estaba fuera en Dubai.

Nos dicen que Joe, tuvo una llamada de FaceTimed con Will Castro de Unique Whips en Speedvision, el segundo que vio el vehículo y le pidió que le construyera uno.

Will le dice a TMZ Hip Hop que el trabajo resultó ser un reto para el equipo. Joe exige lo mejor y los kits se hacen por encargo y se entregan desde Europa.

En total, desembolsó $100k para el cuerpo del carro y el equipo de Will añadió 24 "ruedas y neumáticos", lo que llevó más de un mes en ser construido.

Will hizo todo el trabajo de carrocería, pintura, etc. y le entregará el carro personalmente a Joe este fin de semana. El último modelo es el tercer Rolls-Royce SUV que Will y su equipo han hecho para el rapero. Solo el año pasado, le hizo un diseño en naranja y negro.
