Axl Rose ha sido demandado por una supuesta agresión sexual a una ex modelo de Penthouse que afirma que la arrastró "como un hombre de las cavernas" y la violó.

Sheila Kennedy  —que fue la mascota del año de Penthouse en el 83— acaba de presentar una demanda contra el líder de Guns N' Roses, alegando que la ató y la penetró analmente con su pene durante una fiesta en 1989.

De acuerdo con los documentos, obtenidos por TMZ, Kennedy dice que conoció a Axl en un club de Nueva York en febrero de ese año y volvió a una fiesta privada en su suite del hotel, a la que señala que asistieron un montón de personas que supuestamente estaban consumiendo drogas.

Ella afirma Axl intentó seducirla, y que dice todo estaba bien al principio, hasta que supuestamente despejó la habitación para solo quedara ella, otra modelo femenina y un amigo. Kennedy afirma que vio como Axl tuvo relaciones sexuales agresivas con otra modelo que luego fue a otro dormitorio con el amigo de Axl, antes de que las cosas se pusieran mal.

Según Kennedy, Axl montó en cólera con la otra mujer y la echó, solo para supuestamente llegar a la otra habitación y descubrir que todavía estaba allí, momento en el que —según ella— la arrastró por el pelo de vuelta a su cama, le ató las manos con pantimedias y la agredió sexualmente. Kennedy dice que nunca dio su consentimiento y se sintió dominada mientras sucedía.

Axl Rose is being taken to court over a decades-old alleged sexual assault of a former Penthouse model ... who claims he dragged her "like a caveman" and violated her.

Sheila Kennedy -- who was Penthouse's Pet of the Year in '83 -- just filed suit against the Guns N' Roses frontman ... claiming he tied her up and anally penetrated her with his penis during a party in 1989.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kennedy says she met Axl at an NYC club in February of that year and went back to a private party back at his hotel suite, which she notes was attended by a bunch of people who were allegedly doing drugs.

She claims Axl put the moves on her, which she says she was fine with at first -- that is, until he allegedly cleared the room so that it was just her, another female model and a pal of his left. Kennedy claims she witnessed AR have aggressive sex with the other model before fleeing to another bedroom with Axl's friend ... before things allegedly went south.

Per Kennedy, Axl flew into a rage with the other woman and booted her ... only to allegedly come to the other room and discover she was still there -- at which point, she claims he dragged her by the hair back to his bed, tied up her hands with pantyhose, and sexually assaulted her. Kennedy says she never consented and felt overpowered as it was happening.

Hall & Oates, uno de los dúos más exitosos y emblemáticos de la historia de la música, no solo dejaron de llevarse bien... también están en litigio.

Daryl Hall presentó una demanda en contra de su antiguo compadre musical John Oates, alegando algún tipo de incumplimiento de contrato. Lo que es más, Hall consiguió una orden de alejamiento en contra de Oates el pasado viernes.

En cuanto a los detalles, el expediente judicial está sellado, pero hemos podido reunir algo de información que podría arrojar luz sobre esta disputa.

De acuerdo al sumario, Hall y Oates estaban en una especie de arbitraje por una disputa. Normalmente, los grupos musicales tienen sus propios contratos y parece que Hall cree que Oates violó ese acuerdo. En cuanto a lo que podría ser, posiblemente sea algo relacionado con la división de los derechos de autor o bien que Oates siga cantando las canciones del grupo en sus actuaciones en solitario.

Hall decidió amplificar las cosas, al ir a la Corte de Cancillería de Nashville y pedir una orden de restricción contra su excompañero, una solicitud que el juez concedió.

El hecho es que Hall y Oates han seguido sus propios caminos durante años.  A veces se reunían, pero a menudo actuaban en solitario. Aunque no lo sabemos, bien podría ser que Hall piensa que Oates no tiene derecho a cantar sus canciones durante sus conciertos.

Oates ha estado de gira este año, la más reciente en Arizona a principios de este mes.

Hall & Oates, one of the most successful and iconic duos in musical history, are not just on the outs ... they're in litigation.

Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit against his former musical compadre John Oates, claiming some form of breach of contract.  What's more, Hall got a restraining order against Oates this past Friday.

As for the details ... well, the court file is sealed, but we have been able to piece together some info that could shed light on the dispute.

It appears from the docket Hall and Oates were in arbitration over some dispute. Typically, musical groups have their own contracts, and it would seem Hall believes Oates violated that deal. As for what it could be ... possibly a dispute over division of royalties, or it could be over Oates singing their songs in solo acts.

Hall decided to amp things up, going to Nashville Chancery Court and asking for a restraining order against his former partner ... a restraining order which the judge granted.

Fact is ... Hall and Oates have been doing their own thing, on and off for years.  Sometimes they reunited, but often performed solo. Although we don't know, it well could be Hall thinks Oates has no right to sing their songs during his concerts.

Oates has been touring this year, most recently in Arizona earlier this month.

Taylor Swift grooved her way onto the "Dancing with the Stars" stage ... surprising contestants and the audience with a special video message for the night's theme ... "A Celebration of Taylor Swift.”

"Hey guys, it’s Taylor. I just want to say thank you so much for having this me-themed night on 'Dancing With the Stars,'” the pop star said Tuesday ... explaining she couldn't be there due to tour commitments in Brazil.

Let's not forget ... Travis Kelce has also kept her preoccupied during their whirlwind, headline-grabbing romance ... but there was no mention of him as she encouragingly told the remaining stars they were in good hands with her choreographer Mandy Moore -- not the "This Is Us" star, FYI -- with their routines.

Taylor's best chart-topping tunes such as "Lover", "Shake It Off", "Look What You Made Me Do", "Cruel Summer", "August" and "Lavender Haze" were given the dancefloor treatment ... but even the star's good vibes couldn't save Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold from elimination.

The evening was anticipated since October when pro Peta Murgatroyd let slip of the Taylor-themed evening ... with cohost Alfonso Ribeiro finally confirming the news on November 7.

The star herself has appeared on the show three times to perform ... first "Jump Then Fall" and "Love Story" in 2009, then "Mine" and "White Horse" in 2010 and finally "We Are Never Getting Back Together" in 2012.

Taylor Swift estuvo presente en el escenario de "Dancing with the Stars", sorprendiendo a los concursantes y al público con un video para festejar su noche temática: "Una celebración de Taylor Swift".

"Hola chicos, es Taylor. Solo quiero darles las gracias por tener esta noche temática en "Dancing With the Stars"", dijo la estrella del pop el martes, explicando que no pudo estar presente debido a sus compromisos de gira en Brasil.

No olvidemos, Travis Kelce también la ha mantenido preocupada durante su agitado romance, pero no hubo mención a él mientras animaba a las estrellas que estaban en buenas manos de su coreógrafa Mandy Moore, que no es la estrella de "This Is Us".

Algunas de las mejores canciones de Taylor, como "Lover", "Shake It Off", "Look What You Made Me Do", "Cruel Summer", "August" y "Lavender Haze", fueron tocadas en la pista de baile, pero ni las buenas vibras de la estrella pudieron salvar a Harry Jowsey y Rylee Arnold de la eliminación.

La noche dedicada a Taylor había sido anticipada en octubre por la profesional Peta Murgatroyd. Luego la confirmaron el 7 de noviembre con el coanfitrión Alfonso Ribeiro.

La propia estrella ha aparecido tres veces en el programa para actuar, primero en 2009, donde tocó "Jump Then Fall" y "Love Story", luego en 2010, donde interpretó "Mine" y "White Horse" y finalmente en 2012, cuando tocó "We Are Never Getting Back Together".

Dean DeLeo —guitarrista de la banda de rock Stone Temple Pilots— fue esposado y fichado por delito grave de violencia doméstica en el condado de Ventura en octubre después de que la policía dice que se metió en una pelea con su esposa, Jenn.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen Jenn tomó medidas rápidas después de que Dean saliera de la casa en estado de embriaguez, llamando a la policía para hacerles saber que estaba conduciendo ebrio.

Se nos dice que los oficiales encontraron rápidamente al músico, lo detuvieron y lo arrestaron por conducir ebrio.

Mientras estaba bajo custodia, Jenn llamó a la policía de nuevo, esta vez alegando que habían estado en una discusión que se convirtió en un altercado físico antes de salir de la casa.

Se nos dice que tomaron un informe de violencia doméstica de Jenn y sintieron que tenían pruebas suficientes para detener a Dean de nuevo, esta vez por delito grave de violencia doméstica. También se emitió una orden de protección de emergencia para mantenerlo alejado de Jenn.

Sin embargo, Dean violó la orden una semana y media más tarde al intentar ponerse en contacto con Jenn. Se entregó por esa violación y posteriormente fue liberado. En medio de todo ese drama, ella solicitó el divorcio de Dean.

Ya había presentado documentos de divorcio en 2018, cuando afirmó que él era un borracho abusivo que la hizo temer por su vida y la de su hija, que entonces tenía 6 años.

Dean DeLeo, guitarist for the rock band Stone Temple Pilots, is now accused of getting violent with his wife, Jenn DeLeo, during a dispute that ended with him in handcuffs, and getting booked for felony domestic violence.

Law enforcement sources tell us Jenn took swift action after she said Dean left the house intoxicated last month ... calling cops to let them know he was driving under the influence.

We're told officers soon found the musician, pulling him over and arresting him for DUI.

While he was in custody, Jenn called the cops again, and alleged they'd been in an argument that escalated to a physical altercation before he left the house.

We're told they took a domestic violence report from Jenn, and felt they had enough evidence to book Dean again ... this time for felony domestic violence. He was also served an emergency protection order to stay away from Jenn.

But, according to cops, Dean violated that a week and a half later by attempting to contact Jenn. He turned himself in over that violation, and was subsequently released -- but, in the midst of all that drama, she filed to divorce Dean.

She previously filed divorce docs in 2018, when she claimed he was an abusive drunk who made her fear for the lives of herself and their then 6-year-old daughter.

El Santo Grial de la joyería de Elvis Presley va a salir a subasta. Se espera que su icónico collar de garras de león se venderá por al menos medio millón de dólares en la subasta.

Elvis llevaba el famoso collar de garra de león durante años, tanto dentro como fuera del escenario ... incluso durante algunos de sus momentos más memorables.

Cuando Elvis conoció a Muhammad Ali en la cima del boxeador ... el collar de león colgaba del cuello del cantante.Lo mismo ocurre con una famosa foto de Elvis celebrando el quinto cumpleaños de su hija Lisa Marie con su esposa Priscilla.

Elvis subió al escenario al menos 30 veces con el collar de garras de león también, en Las Vegas y de gira y lo llevaba durante su relación con Linda Thompson.

El collar de garra de león es bedazzled con diamantes y rubíes ... y ha estado en exhibición durante años en el Museo de Elvis Presley y ahora va a subasta con Gotta Have Rock and Roll.

The Holy Grail of Elvis Presley jewelry is going up for grabs -- it's his iconic lion claw necklace, and some Elvis-crazed collector might have to drop half a million dollars, or more, to nab it at auction.

Elvis famously wore the lion claw around his neck for years, both on and off stage ... including during some of his most memorable moments.

When Elvis met Muhammad Ali at the peak of the boxer's prime, the lion necklace was dangling from the singer's neck.

Ditto for a famous photo of Elvis celebrating his daughter Lisa Marie's 5th birthday with his wife Priscilla.

Elvis took the stage at least 30 times with the lion claw necklace too, on tour and during his Las Vegas residency ... and he wore it during his post-Priscilla relationship with Linda Thompson.

The piece is bedazzled with diamonds and rubies ... and it's been on display for years at the Elvis Presley Museum, but now it's going up for auction with Gotta Have Rock and Roll.

No, Travis Kelce's play of late has not been impacted by his relationship with Taylor Swift ... at least, that's according to ex-NFLer Channing Crowder, who tells TMZ Sports the Chiefs star is too used to the limelight to be impacted by dating the pop star.

Of course, there are plenty who are ready to disagree ... as Kelce has had three straight pedestrian games in a row -- all while his romance with Swift has reached a fever pitch.

But, when we spoke to Crowder on Tuesday following Kelce's four-catch, 44-yard performance in a loss to the Eagles on Monday Night Football ... the former Miami Dolphins linebacker said there's just simply no way Swift's swayed things for the 34-year-old.

As for why ... Crowder tells us he thinks Kelce's just simply too familiar with fame to have it bother his game on the gridiron.

"He doesn't hide from attention," Crowder said.

Kelce has been with Swift for quite some time now ... and when she's been in attendance at his games, he's balled out. But, when she hasn't been around -- particularly this last month -- it's been a different story.

Crowder, though, says it's all pretty explainable ... saying defenses have been focusing more on Kelce due to the lack of other weapons on Kansas City's offense.

As for Kelce's admission this week that retirement has been on his mind a little bit -- Crowder did seem to think that was a fairly significant revelation ... telling us, "Once guys start talking about retirement, they might as well retire."

Los fans de 50 Cent se volvieron locos cuando Ed Sheeran hizo una aparición sorpresa en el O2 Arena de Londres durante parte la gira del rapero "The Final Lap".

Las imágenes de video obtenidas por TMZ muestran a 50 instando a la multitud a "subir el volumen aún más" con una enorme caja digital que desciende sobre el escenario al ritmo de "Shape Of You" de Ed.

Los fans del rap parecen perplejos ante el inesperado viaje al pop mientras se escucha la voz del cantante británico en directo a lo lejos, y cuando 50 pide al público que "levante las manos", la caja se eleva para descubrir al propio Ed.

Los aplausos estallaron de los asistentes al concierto encantados, sacando rápidamente sus teléfonos para capturar el momento.

Esta no es la primera vez que 50 ha sorprendido a los fans con invitados en el escenario, ya tuvo el placer de compartir con tipos de la talla de Busta Rhymes y Eminem.

Sin embargo, ha acumulado problemas legales en el camino por lanzar un micrófono a la multitud —según él, porque no estaba funcionando— lamentablemente, golpeó a la locutora de radio, Bryhana Monegain, en la cara, causándole heridas.

Después de que ella presentó una denuncia policial, la oficina del Fiscal de la Ciudad le dijo a TMZ la semana pasada que no se habían presentado cargos criminales contra el rapero.

50 Cent fans got some real bang for their buck as Ed Sheeran made a surprise appearance at London's O2 Arena ... as part of the rapper's "The Final Lap" tour.

Video footage obtained by TMZ shows 50 urging the crowd to "turn it up even more" with a massive digital box descending onstage along to the beat of Ed's "Shape Of You."

Rap fans look perplexed at the unexpected voyage into pop as the British singer's vocals are heard live in the distance -- and when 50 instructs the audience to "put their hands up," the box lifts to unveil Ed himself.

Cheers erupted from delighted concertgoers ... quickly whipping out their phones for evidence of the dynamic music collab onstage.

This isn't the first time 50 has stunned fans with a plus one on stage ... bringing out the likes of Busta Rhymes and Eminem.

Britney Spears isn't fighting a traffic ticket she got last month -- coughing up the dough to make it all go away -- and shelling out a little extra for educational driving purposes, too.

The pop star paid a $332 fine over a traffic violation she was dinged for in early October out in Ventura County after allegedly crossing over double lines while cruising.

On top of the fine itself, it looks like BS also paid around $400 for traffic school ... a common route to take to avoid gaining a point on your license.

As we reported ... Britney paid even more cash the month prior over yet another driving incident. There, we were told she got pulled over for speeding ... and was ultimately ticketed for driving without a valid license or proof of insurance.

In that case, Brit forked over more than $1,100 to put that matter to bed.

Britney Spears decidió no pelear contra la justicia y pagar lo que fuera necesario para hacer desaparecer la multa que recibió el mes pasado por infracción de tránsito.

La estrella del pop pagó 332 dólares por la multa que le pusieron a principios de octubre en el condado de Ventura tras supuestamente cruzar una doble línea mientras conducía.

Además de la fianza en sí, parece que Britney también desembolsó alrededor de $400 para una escuela de tráfico, una estrategia común para evitar ganar un punto en su licencia.

Como les contamos, Britney ya había destinado dinero a incidentes del tránsito el mes pasado. En ese momento, fue detenida por andar a exceso de velocidad y además recibió una multa por conducir sin una licencia válida o prueba de seguro.

En ese caso, Brit pagó más de $1.100 para dejar el asunto en el cajón.

Hold on to your turkey leg because Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is pulling out all the stops this year ... and we've got some behind-the-scenes pics from rehearsals.

Struttin' their stuff at Macy's Herald Square in the Big Apple Monday, a brand-spankin' new cluster of performers laced up their dancing shoes and warmed up those cords to groove to choreography from "Back to the Future: The Musical," "Spamalot" and "& Juliet on Broadway."

Seasoned stage stars such as Roger Bart, Casey Likes, James Monroe Iglehart, Christopher Fitzgerald, David Josefsberg, and Lorna Courtney gave onlookers a glimpse of what to expect during the main spectacle.

Meanwhile, the Radio City Rockettes pirouetted their way to perfection.

The main event Thursday will unleash a showstopping collection of 25 balloons -- including "Paw Patrol" and "Ronald McDonald" -- and 31 floats -- such as "Santa's Sleigh" and "Mutant Mayhem."

Led down by rope-holders to jubilant crowds, celebrity performers will include Brandy, Cher, Jessie James Decker, Jon Batiste, Ashley Park, En Vogue, the cast of Chicago and more.
