E-40 thinks everyone hating on Jaidyn Alexis' unconventional meals for Blueface should learn to eat with their tastebuds, not their eyes ... and be open to mixing and matching random foods.

TMZ Hip Hop picked up on a few kitchen tips in NYC from Mr. Fonzarelli outside Sei Less restaurant ... as he took us inside his cookbook, which he co-authored with Snoop Dogg.

Blueface's fiancee was dragged across internet coals for her goopy pasta and cheese dinner, but 40 says his book contains plenty of creative recipes -- how does a ground turkey and sausage stuffed mozzarella BBQ meatloaf dish sound for your holiday gathering???

40 describes the dishes as "ghetto elegant" ... a term he developed while cooking at an early age when there were much fewer ingredients available in his pantry.

He's combining his 2 loves -- food and music -- on his recently released 27th album, "Rule Of Thumb: Rule 1," which includes raps about his food situation as a kid ... "My household wasn't like the Cosbys/Grew up on spam, noodles, fried bologna."

Espero que hayas hecho algo de espacio en tu plato de sobras, porque las estrellas han estado preparando sus mejores recetas durante todo el mes, y llegan justo a tiempo para atiborrarte con algunas golosinas navideñas ... ¡Prepárate para reventar!

Emily Ratajkowski lució sus curvas en un bikini de tirantes, mientras que Bebe Rhexa presumió de muslos y nalgas... y LL Cool J mostró sus músculos en las redes sociales.

Hope you've made some room on your leftovers plate, because the stars have been preppin' the gravy train all month along, and are arriving just in the knick of time to stuff you with some holiday goodies ... be prepared for your buttons to pop!

In a teeny stringy bikini, Emily Ratajkowski was all about the curves and cASSarole, while Bebe Rhexa brought quite the impressive spread, showin' off her hot buns n' thighs ... and a shredded LL Cool J served up his meaty muscles on the 'gram!

Jack Harlow was responsible for Thanksgiving dinners going cold across the nation ... with the only thing drier than the turkey being his NFL halftime performance during the Lions-Packers game Thursday.

The rapper's six-minute-long set was blasted as "low-budget" after he failed to elicit any enthusiasm while performing tunes such as "First Class," "Tyler Herro" and "WHATS POPPIN" ... and many even took offense to his amateurish igloo-design backdrop.

"They said Jack Harlow's halftime performance set looked like it was from Frozen and I'm CRYING!!!" one viewer mocked ... while another joked the budget for his show was $49.99.

Others already nursing wounds over Detroit trailing 23-6 at the break went as far as to dub it "the worst performance ever" ... urging the 25-year-old to rethink accepting a similar halftime show offer in the future.

The ridicule didn't end there ... with country icon Dolly Parton heralded as a better performer at age 77 -- and others claiming Jack's show was the sole reason their Thanksgiving was ruined.

Compassion and support are on John Oates' mind ... after being sensationally slapped with a restraining order from his former jam buddy Daryl Hall last week.

Breaking his silence following the legal turmoil ... the 75-year-old dropped a T'Giving IG selfie Thursday ... encouraging all to go above and beyond to help those suffering worldwide -- because nothing says "I'm taking the high road" like a cryptic call for empathy ... right?!

He wrote in the caption: "During this time of communal reflection and connection with loved ones, let's not forget those experiencing challenges globally."

Oates added ... "As we come together, consider reaching out to support those in need—whether through local charities or international humanitarian initiatives. May our collective efforts contribute to a more compassionate and supportive world."

As we previously reported ... the longtime friendship between the world's greatest rock and soul duo soured after Hall hit Nashville Chancery Court on Nov. 16, begging for a restraining order against Oates ... which was granted the following day and effective Nov 30.

The file is sealed, and no information is publicly available ... however, our sources say the fallout is over which one of their songs Oates is allowed to sing on his own.

Oates had a string of concerts scheduled earlier this month ... but his most recent two on Nov 9 and 10 were canceled and rescheduled for next year ... and it's not clear why.

It looks like Oates will be taking a backseat from the stage for a while now ... well, until the matter is resolved between the pair.

Hold on to your turkey leg ... because Chrisean Rock and Blueface are dishing each other a hefty serving of gratitude -- for now.

After months of trading disses, the notoriously tumultuous pair carved out their differences to spend Thanksgiving together ... munchin' away on all the festive favorites.

Her sister documented the reunion on IG ... showing Chrisean at Blueface's crib past 10 PM ... kicking back on his sofa gamin' as she FaceTimed her sis.

Chrisean -- who welcomed a son with BF in Sept. -- added that they called it a truce in honor of Thanksgiving ... writing on X: "I'm a nice Bm."

In tandem over on his X, BF claimed the "nice guy" title ... cueing collective eye-rolls and "here we go again" comments.

But they're just playing friendly exes for now ... with the rapper taking a break from his new fiancée Jaidyn Alexis' questionable culinary efforts to -- hopefully -- savor some real home cookin' with his baby mama.

As we've heavily reported ... the exes have been at war ... with Chrisean's parenting skills recently blasted by BF after their son's birth in Sep -- even accusing her of neglecting Jr.'s need for hernia surgery.

Compasión y apoyo es lo que hay en la mente de John Oates después de haber sido sensacionalmente abofeteado con una orden de restricción de su excompañero de banda Daryl Hall la semana pasada.

El cantante de 75 años rompió su silencio después de la confusión legal, con una selfie para el Día de Acción de Gracias el jueves, en la que animó a todos a ir un poco más allá para ayudar a los que sufren en todo el mundo, pues él está "tomando el camino más alto", como si estuviera haciendo un críptico llamado a la empatía, ¿verdad?

En el pie de foto escribió: "Durante este tiempo de reflexión comunitaria y conexión con los seres queridos, no nos olvidemos de aquellos que están viviendo desafíos a nivel mundial".

Oates añadió: "A medida que nos unimos, consideren dar una mano para apoyar a los necesitados, ya sea a través de organizaciones benéficas locales o iniciativas humanitarias internacionales. Que nuestros esfuerzos colectivos contribuyan a un mundo más compasivo y solidario".

Como informamos anteriormente, la larga amistad entre el dúo de rock y soul más grande del mundo se agrió después de que Hall fuera a los tribunales de Nashville el 16 de noviembre para pedir una orden de alejamiento en contra de Oates, la que fue concedida al día siguiente y será efectiva 30 de noviembre.

El expediente está sellado y no hay información disponible al público. Pero nuestras fuentes dicen que la pelea se relaciona con las canciones que puede cantar Oates por su cuenta.

Este último tenía una serie de conciertos programados a principios de este mes, pero los dos más recientes, del 9 y 10 de noviembre, fueron cancelados y reprogramados para el próximo año y no está claro el motivo.

Parece que Oates va a tomar un descanso de los escenarios por un tiempo, o al menos hasta que se resuelvan los asuntos entre la pareja.

9:40 AM PT -- A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ ... "These are civil suits with fabricated claims of misconduct from over 30 years ago, which are nothing but a blatant money grab. Mr. Combs is being unfairly targeted by anonymous accusers who lie for financial gain. The New York Legislature never intended the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited."

Diddy has been sued a third time for alleged sexual assault and this time a third person is allegedly involved.

The new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, was filed anonymously -- by a Jane Doe -- who claims Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and one of her friends, either in 1990 or 1991.

The lawsuit alleges the woman and her friend met Diddy at a record event, and Diddy and Hall began flirting with them, buying them drinks during the evening.

The woman claims Diddy and Hall took the woman to Hall's apartment, where she was offered more alcohol and then coerced into having sex with Diddy. She says she was traumatized, and then as she lay in the bed, Hall allegedly came in, pinned her down and raped her.

She says her friend was also raped by both men.

She says a few days later, Combs went to the woman's home and became enraged ... “He was irate and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out. Combs was searching for Jane Doe’s friend because he was worried that she would tell the girl he was with at the time what he and Hall had done to them.”

The New York lawsuit, first reported by Rolling Stone, claims she went to doctors and told her family and friends about what happened.

As you know, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy last week, alleging, among other things, rape and human trafficking. The case settled the day after it was filed for an undisclosed amount.

As for the second lawsuit, a rep told us ... "This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson's 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more."

Kanye West no parece estar distanciado de su esposa Bianca Censori porque ambos fueron vistos saliendo de fiesta en Dubai.

Mira el video de los dos disfrutando de la juerga en Atlantis. Bianca está allí con Ye, aparentemente pasando un buen rato.

Algunos reportes dicen que los amigos y la familia de Bianca le han dicho que Kanye le está lavando el cerebro para convertirla en una esposa robot, pero ella parece optimista con ello.

Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign y otros raperos también estuvieron en la fiesta.

El Atlantis es el mismo hotel donde Kanye y su ex entrenador, Harley Pasternak, tuvieron un encontronazo a principios de esta semana. Kanye dijo que Harley lo estaba acosando en Dubai, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que es mentira.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Harley se estaba alojando en el mismo hotel que Kanye, y que cuando el rapero se fijó en él trató de darle un abrazo que Harley rechazó. Fue ahí que Kanye se enfadó y empezó a grabarlo. Luego, un gerente del hotel le preguntó a Harley si quería seguridad.

Kanye West does not appear estranged from wife Bianca Censori because they were partying in Dubai.

Check out the video of the two enjoying the shindig at Atlantis. Bianca is right there with Ye, seemingly having a good time.

There have been reports, Bianca's friends and family have convinced her Kanye had brainwashed her into becoming a wife robot, but she seems sanguine with the sitch.

Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign and other rappers were also at the party.

The Atlantis is the same hotel where Kanye's trainer, Harley Pasternak, had a run-in with him earlier this week. Kanye had said Harley was stalking him in Dubai, but our sources say that's BS.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Harley was staying at the hotel and Kanye noticed him and tried to give him a hug. Harley rebuffed the gesture, and Kanye got pissed and began recording him. A hotel manager asked Harley if he wanted security.

Dolly Parton arrasó en Acción de Gracias, cantando "We Are the Champions" durante el show de medio tiempo de los Washington Commanders-Dallas Cowboys, y Freddie Mercury estaría orgulloso.

La cantante de 77 años, que desafía a la edad, iba vestida de animadora, con un atuendo blanco y azul, y lucía increíble.

El público del AT&T Stadium de Arlington, Texas, enloqueció y con justa razón.

Dolly Parton también deleitó a la multitud con "Jolene" y "9 to 5". Y se quitó el sombrero ante Queen por segunda vez con "We Will Rock You".

Las animadoras de los Dallas Cowboys bailaron en el campo.

Fíjate en el comentarista deportivo de la CBS Tony Romo, que no podía más de emoción con Dolly. Está disculpado porque todos los espectadores tuvieron reacciones similares.

El copresentador Jim Nantz intentó cambiar de tema, pero Romo persistió.

Dolly Parton killed it on Thanksgiving, belting out "We Are the Champions" during the Washington Commanders-Dallas Cowboys Halftime Show ... and Freddie would be proud.

The 77-year-old singer, who defies age, was gussied up in a skimpy red, white and blue cheerleader fit, and looked incredible.

The crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX went wild ... and they had every reason.

She also treated the crowd to "Jolene" and "9 to 5." And she tipped her hat to Queen a second time with "We Will Rock You."

The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders got in the act during the show, dancing on the field.

Check out CBS sportscaster Tony Romo, who couldn't get over Dolly. He's excused because everyone watching had similar reactions.

Co-anchor Jim Nantz tried changing the subject, but Romo persisted.

Things between Britney Spears and her ex Sam Asghari are no longer toxic after a turbulent few months ... with their divorce settlement almost finalized.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the duo is now cordial off the back of their divorce bombshell, with the fitness trainer still living it up in the L.A. high-rise. financed by Britney to the tune of $10k a month.

Our sources tell us Brit will soon be signing away a pretty sweet check to Sam to finalize their divorce -- low 6 figures, we're told.

Sam filed for divorce from Britney in August ... with chatter emerging that his lawyer, Neal Hersh, would contest his ex's rock-solid prenup -- although that never happened.

But, with their split playing out in the public eye, they did totally shut down all communication -- with sources linked to the estranged pair telling us they were leaving it up to their legal teams to handle everything.

As a result, there was growing concern for the star's well-being, because Sam was her main support system amid her estrangement from her family.

Las cosas entre Britney Spears y su ex Sam Asghari ya no son "tóxicas" después de unos meses turbulentos y un acuerdo de divorcio inminente.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el dúo ha sido cordial después de que develaran la bomba de su divorcio. El entrenador físico sigue viviendo en el rascacielos de L.A. financiado por Britney de $10k al mes.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Brit pronto firmará un cheque bastante suculento para finalizar su divorcio con Sam, de 6 números.

Sam le pidió el divorcio a Britney en agosto y había rumores de que su abogado, Neal Hersh, impugnaría el sólido acuerdo prenupcial, pero por suerte eso no ha sucedido.

Con su separación en el ojo público, la ex pareja decidió cortar toda comunicación y dejar que sus equipos legales manejen todo lo que sigue por delante, según nos cuentan fuentes vinculadas a ellos.

Como resultado, hubo una creciente preocupación por el bienestar de Britney, ya que Sam era su principal red de apoyo dado el distanciamiento de la cantante con su familia.

Diddy está siendo acusado de drogar y agredir sexualmente a una camarógrafa hace más de tres décadas en Nueva York, pero él dice que las afirmaciones son falsas.

Según una nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joi Dickerson-Neal dice que era estudiante en la Universidad de Syracuse cuando conoció a Diddy en 1991. Dice que la llevó a una cita que rápidamente se convirtió en una pesadilla.

En su demanda, la mujer afirma que Diddy la llevó a comer pollo y waffles en enero de ese año al restaurante de Harlem donde trabajaba, y luego a un estudio de grabación.

La mujer afirma que sus piernas se sentían de goma y no podía ponerse de pie cuando trató de salir del carro de Diddy, lo que la llevó a creer que el cantante la había drogado en algún momento de la comida.

En la demanda, la mujer afirma que después de salir del estudio esa misma noche, Diddy la llevó a una casa, donde dice que la agredió sexualmente y la grabó en secreto.

La mujer demanda a Diddy en virtud de la Ley de Supervivientes Adultos de Nueva York, una ley que concede a las presuntas víctimas de abusos sexuales un plazo de un año para presentar una demanda civil, aunque el delito haya prescrito. El jueves vence el plazo para presentar dichas demandas, y fue entonces cuando se presentó la alegación.

Un portavoz de Diddy le dice a TMZ: "Esta demanda de último minuto es un ejemplo de cómo una ley bien intencionada puede volverse en su contra. La historia de 32 años de la Sra. Dickerson es inventada y no es creíble. El Sr. Combs nunca la agredió y ella implica a empresas que no existían. Esto es puramente un robo de dinero y nada más".

La mujer también acusa a Diddy de haber mostrado la cinta grabada en secreto a decenas de personas, afirmando que un músico le dijo una vez que Diddy le había enseñado la cinta a "todo el mundo".

La mujer afirma que cayó "en picada" después de la supuesta agresión. Abandonó Syracuse y fue diagnosticada con depresión clínica.

Diddy is being accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman on camera more than three decades ago in NYC ... but he says the claims are bogus.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal says she was a college student at Syracuse University in 1991 when she met Diddy. She says he took her on a date that quickly turned into a nightmare.

In her suit, the woman claims Diddy took her out for chicken and waffles in January 1991 at the Harlem restaurant where she worked, then drove her over to a recording studio.

The woman claims her legs felt rubbery and she couldn't stand when she tried getting out of Diddy's car ... leading her to believe Diddy drugged her at some point during their meal.

In the suit, the woman claims after leaving the music studio that same evening Diddy drove her to a house, where she says he sexually assaulted her and secretly recorded it.

She's suing Diddy under New York's Adult Survivors Act, a law providing alleged victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file a civil lawsuit, even if the statute of limitations is up. Thursday marks the deadline to file such lawsuits, and that's when this suit was filed.

A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ ... "This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson's 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more."

The woman also accuses Diddy of showing the secretly recorded tape to scores of people ... claiming a musician once told her Diddy had shown the tape to "everyone."

The woman claims she fell into a "tailspin" after the alleged assault ... dropping out of Syracuse and being diagnosed with clinical depression.
