LeBron James no escatimó esfuerzos para hacer su primera declaración de moda de la temporada 2023-24, luciendo más de $ 28.000 de Louis Vuitton para la noche de apertura.

King James, que está jugando su 21ª temporada, claramente quería llegar con un look especial para el partido inaugural de Los Angeles Lakers contra los Denver Nuggets en el Ball Arena, y ciertamente no decepcionó.

El delantero y 19 veces All-Star llegó cubierto de Louis V, desde la elegante chaqueta tweed de $5k sin cuello hasta los pantalaones de $1.250 pantalones y los zapatos de $1.220.

Y eso no fue todo, el Speedy Bandouliere 40 que está sosteniendo viene con una etiqueta de $11k y el maletín de otros $9.500.

Así que sí, el look de Bron es digno de un rey.

Por cierto, algunas de las piezas que lleva LeBron James corresponden a la colección masculina primavera-verano 2024 de Pharrell. El famoso productor y rapero se convirtió en el nuevo director creativo masculino de la marca de alta gama en febrero, y debutó con sus artículos en París este verano.

James no fue el único jugador que apareció con estilo este martes, Michael Porter Jr. llevaba una camiseta firmada Peyton Manning de los Broncos y Peyton Watson anduvo de representante de Deion Sanders con su propio atuendo autografiado de "Coach Prime".

Aaron Gordon también puso su interesante gusto en escena. El jugador usó un blazer sin mangas de color burdeos y pantalones cortos.

En cuanto al outfit de James, cualquiera quisiera tener esos mismos artículos en sus manos, pero tendremos que esperar un poco porque la pre-orden de venta comienza la primera semana de diciembre.

6:11 AM PT -- We're told Jaidyn Alexis is signed to BuVision for a single through a joint venture with Columbia Records ... in other words, expect her biggest record yet.

Blueface's fiancée Jaidyn Alexis is now in a position to make her own splash in the music biz ... inking a record deal.

The newly engaged couple popped champagne Tuesday and toasted the immediate future -- Jaidyn signed a deal with Columbia Records.

The rookie rapper signed several pages of contracts with Blue by her side. A rep for the label also confirmed with TMZ Hip Hop the move was no publicity stunt.

Jaidyn just started hitting the booth this year but has remained dedicated to the craft.

Following BF's Vegas arrest last year, Jaidyn bailed him out and was ordered straight to the studio to get her skills up.

Her last string of music videos have amassed several million views each ... just the type of motion a record label like Columbia is looking for in this social media era.

BF's other baby mom, Chrisean Rock has been making waves herself on the indie circuit, most notably with her viral "Mr. Take Ya B*tch" collab with Lil Mabu.

Congrats to Jaidyn.

Britney Spears says a brief run-in with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake triggered a panic attack before her infamously bad 2007 MTV VMA performance.

Britney was set for a big return to the stage that night with her song "Gimme More" ... but was caught off guard when she saw JT at the show.

In her new memoir, "The Woman In Me," Britney recalls the interaction, writing ... "It had been a while since I'd seen him. Everything was going great in his world. He was at the top of his game in every way, and he had a lot of swagger. I was having a panic attack."

Britney says she "hated the way I looked" ... because "It was less than a year since I'd had my second baby in two years but everyone was acting like my not having six-pack abs was offensive."

What's more, Britney admits she hadn't rehearsed enough and knew the performance "was going to be bad." She says "nothing was going right" backstage ... claiming there were problems with her costume and hair extensions. She says she didn't sleep the night before, and was feeling dizzy.

Britney continued ... "I couldn’t believe I was going to have to go out onstage feeling the way I felt." She says she went out and tried her best, admitting it wasn't up to par for her.

She added ... "I could see myself on video throughout the auditorium while I performed; it was like looking at myself in a fun-house mirror."

JT, on the other hand, was on the other end of the spectrum in Britney's eyes.

She says, "Justin glided down the runway. He was flirting with girls in the audience, including one who turned around and arched her back, shaking her breasts as he sang to her."

Britney Spears dice que un breve encuentro con su ex novio Justin Timberlake le provocó un ataque de pánico antes de su infame actuación en los MTV VMAs de 2007.

Britney estaba lista para su gran regreso a los escenarios esa noche con su canción "Gimme More", pero fue sorprendida con la guardia baja cuando vio a Justin en el show.

En sus nuevas memorias, "The Woman In Me", Britney recuerda el momento: "Hacía tiempo que no lo veía. Todo iba genial en su mundo. Estaba en la cima de su juego en todos los sentidos y era fanfarrón. Me estaba dando un ataque de pánico".

Britney dice que "odiaba mi aspecto", porque "Hacía menos de un año había tenido mi segundo bebé en dos años y todo el mundo actuaba como si el hecho de que no tuviera abdominales de six-pack fuera ofensivo".

Es más, Britney admite que no había ensayado lo suficiente y sabía que la actuación "iba a ser mala". Dice que "nada iba bien" entre bastidores, afirmando que hubo problemas con su vestuario y sus extensiones de cabello. Ella dice que no durmió la noche anterior y se sentía mareada.

Britney continuó: "No podía creer que iba a tener que salir al escenario sintiéndome como me sentía". Ella dice que salió y lo intentó lo mejor que pudo, admitiendo que no estuvo a la altura.

Añadió: "Podía verme en video por todo el auditorio mientras actuaba; era como mirarme en un espejo de feria".

Justin, por su parte, estaba en el extremo opuesto de la situación.

Ella dice: "Justin se deslizaba por la pasarela. Coqueteaba con las chicas del público, incluida una que se dio la vuelta y arqueó la espalda, sacudiendo los pechos mientras él le cantaba".

Suge Knight's "Collect Call" podcast cohost Dave Mays thinks the incarcerated mogul's gotten a bad rap -- so he's helping him set the record straight once and for all!!!

TMZ Hip Hop chopped it up with the Breakbeat CEO this week and he assured us Suge's podcast commentary would be just as spicy as we'd expect it to be, but it won't be all sauce and no substance either.

They dropped the first episode on audio today, and as you can hear Suge's doing his fair share of reflection and deflecting -- in this case -- at his ex-Death Row Records henchman Mob James.

As the trailer revealed, Dave says Suge will be responding back to the commentaries from the likes of Master P, Wack 100, Warren G, Akon, and many more -- with dramatic flair.

Dave tells us they used a bit of AI to make the visuals pop. Remember, Suge's serving a 25-year sentence for manslaughter, so they did what they could to spruce up his current digs!!!

The Source Magazine founder doesn't feel Suge got a fair shake in his criminal trial due to his reputation at the time. He says their friendship dates back to the early '90s when Dr. Dre was set to take the world by storm with his classic debut album, "The Chronic."

Dave convinced Suge to let Dre do the iconic gun-to-the-head cover photo, which led on to more explosive moments with The Source ... like the infamous "come to Death Row" line at the '95 Source Awards.

Suge shared Death Row stories with TMZ Hip Hop earlier this year ... admitting the label had its fair share of rough patches too.

Just Blaze isn't letting his fellow producer Mark '45' King die in vain -- he's emptying out his hard drive of Mark's songs that never saw the light of day ... clearances be damned!!!

The veteran producer let off a pair of unreleased tracks Monday from the shelved Slaughterhouse "Glass House" album ... promising to leak even more music down the line to honor the recently deceased M45K.

The songs were originally slated to drop in the mid-2010s on Eminem's Shady Records, but various disputes caused the supergroup consisting of Joe Budden, KXNG Crooked, Joell Ortiz, and Royce Da 5'9 to break up shortly thereafter.

M45K passed away last week at the age of 62 ... boasting a catalog that blessed Jay-Z, Eminem, and Queen Latifah, among others with classic hits.

JB wants the world to know his friend left behind a legacy more impactful than any liner notes. As fans, we can't wait to hear what else he's kept stashed in the vault.

"Love and Hip Hop: Miami" star Prince Michael is apologizing for his explicit, and public, deep dive into his past relationship with Lori Harvey -- but he sounds very "sorry not sorry."

The outspoken reality star went into graphic detail on the "We in Miami" podcast earlier this week, sharing details like how he and Lori would Uber to each other's places for sex, and he claims they never used a condom.

Prince claims these trysts went down years ago when, as he puts it, Lori was thick and he clearly misses that 'ol thang.

On the creepier side ... he admitted trying to secretly record one of their hookup sessions but says there was no fooling Lori, who always suspected something. She was right!!!

Prince also took joy in allegedly dismantling Saweetie's family -- he claims he banged her mother and then got a DM from her husband accusing him of breaking up a happy home.

Lori's currently dating Damson Idris and was linked to Quavo, Future, Michael B. Jordan and Diddy in the past. Some fans aren't amused by his bedroom tea ... instead, they're destroying Prince for making his past with Lori public knowledge.

In his apology, he says he attempted to be funny with his responses ... but admits to failing at that, and blames his own insecurities for ruining things with Lori.

Lil Wayne is the latest celeb to dive head first into Major League Pickleball ... officially joining the Texas Ranchers' ownership group on Tuesday.

The Ranchers -- one of eight Major League Pickleball teams in the country -- announced the move minutes ago ... revealing Weezy will be teaming up with celebs and athletes like Micah Parsons, Zach Bryan, Myles Garrett, C.J. Stroud and more to help turn the squad into an MLP powerhouse.

According to the Texas franchise, Wayne will be coming on as a strategic advisor who will be tasked with drawing fans to the team ... as well as developing apparel collaborations. Wayne will also be helping to build pickleball courts in underprivileged areas.

"We're so excited to have Lil Wayne on board," Texas Ranchers CEO Evan Floersch said in a statement.

"From the get-go, we set out to build a team that, at its core, was centered in pop culture to support our mission of becoming one of the most recognized brands in American sports."

Floersch added, "Having Wayne's guidance, along with the rest of this incredible ownership group, emphasizes our stance on redefining sports ownership and being a positive force for good in our local pickleball community and beyond."

Lil Wayne was ecstatic to be jumping on board ... saying in a statement of his own, "Pickleball is the moment."

"I've enjoyed watching and couldn't pass up the opportunity to join this team of owners," the 41-year-old said.

Drake's 37th birthday party was one for the chemistry books, featuring "Breaking Bad" stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul as bartenders to mix up some special cocktails at Casadonna in Miami.

The two stars showed up floral shirts and all to Drake's Miami bash Monday ... which likely served as an easy promotion for Bryan and Aaron's Dos Hombres mezcal brand.

Of course, these guys have racked up Emmys, Golden Globes and AFI awards playing meth lab whizzes Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on the show … and their bartending skills look to also be on point.

As for the location, Drake held his bash at David Grutman and Noah Tepperberg's Casadonna, an Italian-inspired restaurant along the coastline. Drake was decked out in all-black, and his friends and fam teased him for having an abundance of mango juice -- instead of his usual go-to passionfruit.

La fiesta de cumpleaños de Drake para celebrar sus 37 años fue uno para recordar en los libros de química, pues las estrellas de "Breaking Bad" Bryan Cranston y Aaron Paul estuvieron como bartenders mezclando cócteles especiales en Miami.

Las dos estrellas estuvieron en la fiesta de este lunes, vistiendo camisas de flores y todo, lo que probablemente les sirvió para promocionar su marca de mezcal Dos Hombres.

Por supuesto, estos chicos han acumulado Emmys, Globos de Oro y premios AFI interpretando los papeles de Walter White y Jesse Pinkman en la serie, y sus habilidades como bartenders también parecen estar en buena forma.

En cuanto a la ubicación, Drake celebró su fiesta en el lugar de David Grutman y Noah Tepperberg, Casadonna, un restaurante de inspiración italiana a lo largo de la costa. Drake se vistió de negro, y sus amigos y familiares se burlaron de él por tener una gran cantidad de jugo de mango en lugar de su habitual maracuyá.

Kurt Cobain's daughter and Tony Hawk's son are now husband and wife, with a celeb musician acting as their wedding day officiant ... TMZ has learned.

Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk tied the knot earlier this month in Los Angeles after getting a marriage license in September down in San Diego County ... according to docs obtained by TMZ.

The couple's marriage certificate says they got hitched Oct. 7 and the celeb who performed the ceremony is none other than former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe!!!

BTW ... Stipe is also Frances' godfather, and her godmother is Drew Barrymore.

Frances and Riley have been in a relationship since at least January 2021 ... and it's her second marriage, his first.

TMZ broke the story ... Frances filed for divorce from her first husband, musician Isaiah Silva, in March 2016 after less than 2 years of marriage and they ended up fighting for custody of one of Kurt's guitars.

No word on a honeymoon yet, but it seems like the world's their oyster -- let's face it, both come from very successful, wealthy families.

Britney Spears has nothing but praise for her ex, Sam Asghari, in her memoir ... calling him a "gift from God" despite a rocky split, and it's a clear sign they've either settled their divorce or they're super close.

In the singer's new book, she recalls being "instantly smitten" by the actor/model when they first met on set in 2016 -- calling him an "inspiration, adding she instantly knew "I wanted him in my life."

Brit says the chemistry between them was insane ... "We couldn't keep our hands off each other." She says he was her rock during the contentious conservatorship hearings ... crediting him for giving her the courage to speak out.

What's interesting ... there's no talk about their acrimonious divorce at all. We know Britney made changes to her book after Sam filed for divorce back in August, so she could have changed her tune, but she didn't.

As we reported, their relationship was extremely volatile, at times she became physical with him and screaming matches were common. Yet none of it is referenced in the memoir.

Sam also praised Britney and her book recently, so when you put it all together, it seems like they've struck some kind of a divorce deal that satisfies both of them.

Britney's gone after lots of people in the memoir, but Sam dodged the bullet.

Nikki Glaser is proving she's the ultra Taylor Swift fan, shelling out big bucks for the pop star's concert tickets.

The comedian appeared as a guest on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Monday -- and admitted she anted up an eye-popping $25K for tickets to go see Taylor's super successful "Eras" tour last summer.

Chuckling, Glaser told Kelly, "I just want to say that it was a conscious decision because I went to nine "Eras" tour shows this year. "Like, when I'm not on tour, I go to her tour."

Glaser went on, "It just fills my life up with so much joy. I'm in my late 30s. I just feel like, I don't have kids, and I did the math and if I had kids, I'd be paying for dance camp and swim lessons."

For context, tickets for Taylor's shows go for between $49 to $499 a pop, depending on the seating section. Resale tickets can range from $500 to $7,000 each, but that's just chump change for die-hard Swifties like Glaser.

During her sit-down with Kelly, Glaser also joked that she saved all of her money to freeze her eggs, but then decided to spend the dough on Taylor's concerts, describing her actions as going "buck wild."

Taylor has also been going wild lately, turning the world upside down after she and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, revealed they're now an item. She has recently attended Travis' NFL games, rubbing elbows with his parents in their suite at Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.

Everyone is now wondering are wedding bells in the future for the lovebirds.

Britney Spears no tiene nada más que elogios para su ex Sam Asghari en su libro de memorias, llamándolo un "regalo de Dios" a pesar de haber tenido una ruptura complicada, una clara señal de que ambos han resuelto su divorcio o están muy cerca de hacerlo.

En su nuevo libro, la cantante recuerda haberse sentido "instantáneamente enamorada" del actor y modelo cuando se conocieron por primera vez en el set en 2016, llamándolo una "inspiración" y agregando que instantáneamente supo que "lo quería en su vida."

Brit dice que la química entre ellos era una locura. "No podíamos quitarnos las manos de encima". También dice que fue su soporte durante las polémicas audiencias de tutela y le da todo el crédito por darle coraje para hablar.

Lo que es interesante es que no se habla de su divorcio en absoluto. Sabemos que Britney hizo cambios en su libro después de que Sam pidiera el divorcio en agosto, por lo que podría haber cambiado su tono, pero no lo hizo.

Como hemos informado, su relación era extremadamente volátil. Las peleas a gritos eran comunes y a veces ella podía incluso llegar a ser agresiva con él. Sin embargo, nada de eso se menciona en sus memorias.

Sam también elogió a Britney y su libro recientemente, así que al poner todo sobre la mesa, parece que ambos han llegado a algún tipo de acuerdo que los satisface a los dos.

Nikki Glaser está demostrando que es la mayor fan de Taylor Swift, pues desembolsó muchísimo dinero para conseguir entradas al concierto de la estrella del pop.

La comediante apareció como invitada en "The Kelly Clarkson Show" el lunes y admitió que pagó la impresionante cifra de $25K para ir a ver a Taylor a su exitosa gira "Eras".

Riéndose, Glaser le dijo a Kelly: "Sólo quiero decir que fue una decisión consciente porque fui a nueve conciertos de la gira "Eras" este año. "Cuando no estoy de gira, voy a su gira".

Glaser prosiguió: "Me llena la vida de tanta alegría. Tengo treinta y tantos años. No tengo hijos, e hice las cuentas y si tuviera hijos, estaría pagando por el campamento de baile y las clases de natación".

Para contextualizar, las entradas para los conciertos de Taylor cuestan entre 49 y 499 dólares cada uno, dependiendo de la ubicación. Las entradas de reventa pueden oscilar entre los 500 y 7.000 dólares, pero eso no es nada para Swifties acérrimos como Glaser.

Durante su conversación con Kelly, Glaser también bromeó diciendo que ahorró todo su dinero para congelar sus óvulos, pero luego decidió gastar la pasta en los conciertos de Taylor, describiendo sus acciones como "descabelladas", en español.

Taylor también ha estado actuando de forma salvaje últimamente, poniendo el mundo al revés después de revelar que sí tiene algo con el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce. La cantante ha estado en los últimos partidos de la NFL de Travis, codeándose con sus padres en su suite en el estadio Arrowhead en Kansas City.

Todo el mundo se pregunta si habrá boda en el futuro de los tortolitos.

Oops, Britney Spears lo hizo de nuevo. Al menos, según cuenta el oficial que detuvo a la cantante conduciendo por el sur de California, y esta vez, su infracción fue traspasar las molestas líneas dobles.

De acuerdo con los registros judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Britney recibió una multa de tráfico a principios de este mes después de que fuera detenida por la Patrulla de Carreteras de California (CHP en inglés) por supuestamente hacer un giro indebido.

Se dice que Brit cruzó la doble línea, un gran no para los que conocen la ley, y fue castigada con una multa de $327, con fecha de pago al 21 de noviembre.

Como informamos, Britney fue detenida el mes pasado por un oficial de CHP en el condado de Ventura. Fuentes policiales nos dijeron que fue detenida por andar a exceso de velocidad en su Mercedes blanco y por conducir sin una licencia válida y prueba de seguro.
