Published | Updated

The Weeknd ha hecho un gran gesto para apoyar los esfuerzos humanitarios en Gaza, donando 2,5 millones de dólares para proporcionar 4 millones de comidas de emergencia.

El cantante, que también es Embajador de Buena Voluntad del Programa Mundial de Alimentos (WFP en inglés) de las Naciones Unidas, hizo la donación a través de su Fondo Humanitario XO, en beneficio de los esfuerzos de respuesta humanitaria del WFP en Gaza.

La donación equivale a cuatro millones de comidas de emergencia. Esto es apoyo económico para financiar 820 toneladas métricas de paquetes de alimentos que pueden alimentar a más de 173.000 palestinos durante dos semanas.

Desde que fue nombrado Embajador de Buena Voluntad (Goodwill Ambassador) en octubre de 2021, The Weeknd -cuyo nombre real es Abel Tesfaye- ha donado personalmente 1,8 millones de dólares a la misión mundial de alivio del hambre del WFP a través de su Fondo Humanitario XO establecido en asociación con World Food Program USA.

La contribución de The Weeknd llega en un momento crítico, con el Programa intentando alimentar a más de un millón de habitantes en Gaza.

La Directora del WFP para la Región de Oriente Medio, Norte de África y Europa Oriental, Corinne Fleischer, agradeció a Abel por su contribución, diciendo: "Agradecemos a Abel por esta valiosa contribución hacia el pueblo de Palestina. Esperamos que otros sigan el ejemplo de Abel y apoyen nuestros esfuerzos".

El WFP sigue trayendo diariamente camiones llenos de ayuda y cestas de alimentos, como pan fresco, barritas de dátiles enriquecidas, alimentos enlatados, harina de trigo, pasta, salsa de tomate y aceite.

Taylor Swift Publicist Slams Marriage To Joe Alwyn Rumors ... It's All "Fabricated Lies"!!!

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift's publicist came out swinging against a celebrity gossip site, blasting rumors the pop superstar had secretly married her ex Joe Alwyn years ago.

Tree Paine, Taylor's longtime rep, posted a message on X Thursday night, slamming the shadowy Deuxmoi Instagram page, which often publishes unconfirmed reports about Hollywood's elite.

Paine wrote, "Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi. There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind."

She continued, "This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these."

In a lengthy IG post, Deuxmoi claimed Taylor and Joe tied the knot in the UK in 2020 or 2021, but the marriage "was never made legal," citing multiple anonymous sources.

Deuxmoi rambled on, trying to convince readers the story was true while insisting, "I have no reason to lie."

As you know, Taylor called it quits with Joe in April after six years of dating. During their relationship, Joe was repeatedly asked if he was engaged to Taylor -- and the actor always sidestepped the question.

He once told WSJ magazine, "If I had a pound for every time I think I've been told I've been engaged, then I'd have a lot of pound coins."

Getting engaged could be on the horizon for Taylor. As anyone with a pulse knows, Taylor has been romantically linked to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce -- and the two seem to be in love.

Will Travis put a ring on Taylor's finger? Stay tuned.

Taylor Swift Publicista desmiente rumores de matrimonio con Joe Alwyn... Son todas mentiras fabricadas!!!

Published | Updated

El publicista de Taylor Swift salió al paso de un sitio de chismes de celebridades, desmintiendo los rumores de que la superestrella del pop se habría casado en secreto con su ex Joe Alwyn hace años.

Tree Paine, representante de Taylor por largo tiempo, publicó un mensaje en X el jueves por la noche, en donde critica a la enigmática página de Instagram Deuxmoi, que a menudo publica artículos no confirmados sobre la élite de Hollywood.

Paine escribió: "Ya es suficiente con estas mentiras inventadas sobre Taylor de Deuxmoi. NUNCA hubo un matrimonio o ceremonia de NINGÚN tipo".

Ella continuó: "Es una locura publicar esto. Es hora de que sean responsable por el dolor y el trauma que causan con posts como estos".

En un largo post de Instagram, Deuxmoi afirmó que Taylor y Joe ataron el nudo en el Reino Unido en 2020 o 2021, aunque el matrimonio "nunca se hizo legal". Citan múltiples fuentes anónimas en su reporte.

Deuxmoi divagó, tratando de convencer a los lectores de que la historia era cierta mientras insistía: "No tengo ninguna razón para mentir".

Como saben, Taylor puso fin a su relación con Joe en abril después de seis años de noviazgo. Durante su relación, Joe fue consultado en repetidas ocasiones si estaba comprometido con Taylor y el actor siempre eludió la pregunta.

Una vez dijo a la revista WSJ: "Si tuviera una libra por cada vez que creo que me han dicho que he estado comprometido, entonces tendría un montón de monedas".

Comprometerse podría estar en el horizonte de Taylor. Como cualquier persona a estas alturas sabe, Taylor ha sido vinculada románticamente con el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, y los dos parecen estar enamorados.

¿Pondrá Travis un anillo en el dedo de Taylor? Estén atentos.

KELLIE PICKLER SE VENDE LA CASA DE NASHVILLE DONDE SU MARIDO SE PEGÓ UN TIRO

Published | Updated

La casa de Tennessee de Kellie Pickler donde su marido —Kyle Jacobs— se disparó trágicamente a principios de este año, está en el mercado por $2.890.000, TMZ ha aprendido.

De acuerdo con los registros de propiedad, la exquisita casa hecha a medida de 4 dormitorios y 5 baños en Nashville fue puesta en el mercado el miércoles.

A través de 4.865 pies cuadrados, la morada de estilo Tudor, cuenta con un concepto de planta abierta de invitación con un techo de bóveda de cañón en el comedor y bodega en el nivel principal.

Hay 10x10 postes de cedro que le dan el toque final a la casa. La chimenea de dos pisos en la gran sala contribuye a la acogedora sensación de estar rodeado de bosques.

Por supuesto, hay una piscina en el patio trasero y algunos hermosos trabajos de carpintería en toda la propiedad para un toque elevado de lujo de celebridades.

Kellie es el objetivo de hacer un beneficio considerable en la venta después de comprar la almohadilla en febrero de 2010 por $1.435.000.

El listado se produce poco más de nueve meses después de que el marido de Kellie Jacob fue encontrado muerto por suicidio en el dormitorio de arriba, el cual era la oficina de la casa.

Kellie y Kyle se casaron en 2011, y ambos protagonizaron "I Love Kellie Pickler" durante tres temporadas a partir de 2015.

Kyle trabajó como compositor de música country, con créditos vinculados a estrellas como Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks y otros. Tenía 49 años.

KELLIE PICKLER Grim House Listing ... Site of Husband's Suicide Now for Sale

Published | Updated

Kellie Pickler's ready to put a painful memory behind her -- the longtime Tennessee home where her husband, Kyle Jacobs, fatally shot himself is now on the market for $2,890,000 ... TMZ has learned.

According to property records, the 4 bed, 5 bath custom-built home in Nashville was listed Wednesday.

The sprawling Tudor-style abode boasts 4,865 sq. feet and includes an inviting open floor plan, a barrel vault ceiling in the dining room and wine cellar on the main level.

Architecturally, it features 10x10 cedar posts throughout the home ... and the two-story fireplace in the great room makes for a super cozy, cabin-in-the-woods feel.

Of course, there's a pool nestled in the backyard and some beautiful millwork throughout the property for an elevated touch of celeb luxury.

Kellie purchased the pad in February 2010 for $1,435,000 -- so, depending on how much cash she put into it over the last 13 years, she stands to make a handsome profit.

The listing comes nearly 10 months after Kellie's husband was found dead by suicide in the upstairs bedroom/office at the home.

If you're wondering, Tennessee law does NOT require a seller to disclose a death in a house to potential buyers.

Kellie and Kyle married in 2011, and both starred on "I Love Kellie Pickler" for 3 seasons starting in 2015. Kyle was a songwriter, penning tracks for Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks and others.

Michael Blackson Bey Went Blonde For Jay ... It's New Eye Candy, Not Whiteness!!!

Published | Updated

Michael Blackson knows exactly what's really behind Beyoncé's recent lightened appearance, and apologies to Tina Knowles, but he says it's really about a bedroom "Renaissance" for Jay-Z!!!

Mike dropped his juicy theory on us when we got him at LAX, and asked what he makes of all the fan remarks about Bey's appearance during the L.A. premiere of her 'Renaissance' film.

Unlike Mama Knowles, who said the silvery/platinum look was simply about sticking to the theme of Bey's tour -- Michael thinks it's really about the Carters mixing things up in the bedroom. As he sees it, Beyoncé's just giving her man "another woman."

Jokes aside, MB did totally dismiss the haters who claimed B was bleaching her skin ... and he explained why he's filing that under utterly ridiculous.

As we reported, Tina also went to bat for her daughter ... lashing out at anyone spreading the notion Beyonce is anything other than a proud Black woman.

We're not sure Tina would be any more down with Michael's "theory," though.😂

BTW, Beyoncé was still rocking the blonde locks Thursday night for the London premiere of "Renaissance" -- with daughter/backup dancer Blue Ivy by her side -- so, she's clearly not changing a damn thing for the haters.

Or maybe Michael's right, and the new look is intended for Jay's eyes ... and the rest of us are incidental.

Nothing wrong with a little marriage makeover to keep the fires burning!

MICHAEL BLACKSON "Beyoncé se hizo rubia platino para darle variedad a Jay-Z en la cama"

Published

¡Michael Blackson tiene una explicación para la reciente apariencia de Beyoncé!, y básicamente tendría que ver con Jay-Z.

De acuerdo con la perspectiva de Mike, Jay quería ver algo diferente en la cama luego de tanto tiempo de matrimonio por lo que se cambió al rubio platinado. Estilo que mostró hace poco en el estreno de Renaissance, el cual estuvo lleno de estrellas a principios de esta semana.

Es solo una teoría, pero Michael tiene algo de razón, engañar a Bey es imposible, ¡así que un poco de juego de roles para animar las cosas es lo mejor!

El nuevo look de Beyoncé provocó comparaciones con Kim Kardashian e incluso acusaciones de blanqueamiento de la piel, pero Mike está archivando eso bajo una de las cosas más ridículas que ha oído jamás.

Tina Knowles también lo hizo y salió en defensa de su hija arremetiendo verbalmente contra cualquiera que mantuviera la narrativa del "blanqueamiento".

Bromas aparte, Michael señala cómo la marca de la diva siempre ha estado "orgullosa de ser negra", después de todo, ¡esta es la misma mujer que pisoteó coches de policía para Black Lives Matter y rindió homenaje a las Panteras Negras durante su actuación en la Super Bowl 2016!

No hay nada malo en un pequeño cambio de imagen, especialmente si se trata de mantener viva la magia.

Beyoncé No me romperás el corazón!!! Más atuendos plateados y aún más rubia

Published | Updated

Beyoncé no está dejando que los haters opaquen su brillo y se está volviendo aún más rubia frente a las acusaciones de que intenta parecer blanca, y Jay-Z la está apoyando.

La cantante está redoblando su rubio platinado y el uso de sus atuendos de plata en Londres, donde está celebrando el estreno de su película "Renaissance".

Beyoncé ha sido perseguida por diversas acusaciones de que está intentando "parecer blanca" con su pelo platinado, pero ella no está prestando atención si nos basamos en lo que llevaba puesto para cenar con su marido.

Tienen que ver el vestido super único de Beyoncé, si es que podemos llamarlo vestido. El diseño es extra pesado en plata, brillo y bling.

Mientras tanto, Jay se la jugó por un estilo más tradicional, vistiendo un esmoquin.

En cuanto a la controversia, todo comenzó cuando Beyoncé fue vista con un vestido plateado y el pelo platinado durante el estreno de su película en Los Ángeles. Muchos usuarios en línea alegaron que ella se estaba aclarando la piel.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Los comentarios no sentaron nada bien a Tina Knowles, quien tachó a los haters de racistas y defendió el look de Beyoncé como parte de la temática del estreno de "Renaissance", la que gira en torno al plateado.

No cabe duda de que Beyoncé sigue con ese tema, incluso para quienes no lo entiendan.

Beyoncé You Won't Break My Soul!!! More Silvery Outfit, Still Blonde

Published | Updated

Beyoncé is not letting haters dim her shine ... she's going even lighter in the face of accusations she's trying to look white ... and Jay-Z's supporting her.

The singer is doubling down on her platinum blonde hair and silver outfits across the pond in London ... where she's celebrating her 'Renaissance' movie premiere.

Beyonce's been dogged by accusations she's trying to “look white“ with her platinum hair ... but she‘s paying it no mind, based on what she wore out to dinner with her husband.

Ya gotta see Beyonce's super unique dress ... if you can call it that ... the design is extra heavy on silver, shine and bling.

Meanwhile, Jay is in a more traditional look for the fancy outing ... he's rocking a tuxedo.

As for the controversy, it all started when Beyonce was seen in a silver dress and platinum hair during the L.A. premiere of the movie ... with folks online going so far as to claim she's lightening her skin.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The comments didn't sit well with Tina Knowles ... she blasted the haters as racist bozos, defending Beyonce's look as part of the theme of her 'Renaissance' premier ... which is all about silver.

Beyonce's certainly following through with that theme ... and sticking it to anyone who doesn’t get it.

Flavor Flav I'm Down to Take Taylor Swift College Course!!!

Published

Flavor Flav is all for Harvard University's Taylor Swift course, noting he's 100% open to enrolling ... and acknowledging he's reached super-fandom.

The Public Enemy rapper spoke to TMZ Hip Hop in NYC outside of ABC Studios Thursday where he listed off the many reasons why the English Department at Harvard will win big with the course, "Taylor Swift and Her World."

Professor Stephanie Burt is prepping the TS coursework to be taught for the upcoming spring semester and Flav tells us it's the perfect course for him and other artists.

Flav says he's actively studied Taylor's lyrics which ultimately birthed his fan club membership card -- which got the platinum stamp during the "Eras" tour in earlier this year.

Flav thinks Taylor's music is completely relatable -- just as much as Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige's -- but he isn't just sizing TS up against other singers.

Flav tells us if Taylor was ever to run for president, neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump would have a chance with her on the ballot ... he's voting Team 1989 all the way!!!

Jake Paul Kid Cudi Wanted 'Astronomical' Fee ... To Perform At My Fight

Published

Jake Paul wanted to make his Tyron Woodley fight in 2021 extra "Cleveland" by having Kid Cudi perform at the big event in his hometown ... but he says there was just one issue that kept it from happening -- the rapper's "astronomical" asking price.

The Problem Child revealed his failed plans during his "BS With Jake Paul" podcast this week ... when his conversation with guest Rich Paul led to the fellow Northeast Ohio native.

Jake brought up how he personally thinks Cudder doesn't have much Cleveland pride ... which is pretty uncommon for anyone from the area.

The boxer used one of his own experiences to back his stance ... saying, "I tried to get him to perform at the Tyron Woodley fight just before I came out [to the ring], and he asked for like, an astronomical fee that was like, 'F*** you.'"

Jake explained while he understands people have their price, he thought the moment would have meant much more to the city than any check he could write out to Cudi.

"I get it, but it's like, this was like some s*** to tap in back with the city. Like, first event back from Covid."

Jake's cohost, Jasper, defended Cudi ... saying if the roles were reversed, the YouTube superstar would charge his usual appearance fee, too.

But, Jake says that's simply not true ... claiming he always gives a hometown discount to anyone from the area -- even doing some things pro bono.

Ultimately, Jake made his Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse entrance to MGK's "Till I Die" and Jeezy's "Put On" before beating Woodley via split decision ... and it goes without saying, Cudi was not there.

Published | Updated

T.I. stood on business with all ten toes after a club attempted to capitalize off his viral spat with his son, King ... letting the owners of the establishment know he came to shut the party down!!!

Tip and King had been previously scheduled to appear at Atlanta's Elleven45 Lounge for its "R&B Wednesdays" but just one day before the event, the rapper learned a flyer to promote the event included a photoshopped image of Tip holding King in a headlock.

The image was meant to poke fun at King flipping out on his parents during Sunday's Atlanta Falcons game inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium suites over claims he grew up more rugged than he actually did.

T.I. confronted everyone at Elleven45 Lounge, letting them know it wasn't cool, and threatened the whole appearance would be cut unless things changed.

In his outrage, Tip stated the city of Atlanta was still his -- and regardless if the club honchos were homegrown or outsiders, they'd abide by his rules!!!

Tip y King habían sido previamente programados para aparecer en Elleven45 Lounge de Atlanta para su "R & B Miércoles", pero solo un día antes del evento, el rapero se enteró de que un volante para promover el evento incluía una imagen de Tip sosteniendo a King con una llave de cabeza.

En su indignación, Tip declaró que la ciudad de Atlanta seguía siendo suya, y que independientemente de si los responsables del club eran de la ciudad o de fuera, ¡se atendrían a sus reglas!

SHINING AT THE PREMIERE

Taylor Swift has officially returned the favor to Beyoncé ... showing face at Queen Bey's "Renaissance" movie premiere in London.

The pop star was all glamor, with a glittering strapless gown, wavy hair and red lipstick ... hitting the carpet before Beyoncé arrived.

Of course, when she showed up, Queen Bey had fans in a frenzy ... wearing a sparkling black dress -- she also had 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy by her side.

Tay and B made the most of their night out in the British capital ... posing for professional red carpet snaps, Taylor also took selfies with die-hard fans.

The "Karma" singer was clearly thrilled to be at the event, proving that even though her relationship with BF Travis Kelce was gaining momentum ... she was willing to ditch him in Kansas City to champion her pal on her big night.

It was only a few weeks ago when Beyoncé showed up to Taylor's "Eras" tour movie premiere in Los Angeles ... so there was a big suspicion Taylor would do the same.

You hit my premiere, and I'll be at yours.

Brillando en el estreno

Taylor Swift le ha devuelto oficialmente el favor a Beyoncé, apareciendo en persona para el estreno de la película de Queen Bey "Renaissance" en Londres.

La estrella del pop lució muy glamorosa, con un vestido brillante y sin tirantes, el pelo ondulado y lápiz labial rojo, paseando por la alfombra roja antes de que llegara Beyoncé.

Por supuesto, cuando apareció Queen Bey sus fans se volvieron locos. Ella lució un vestido negro brillante, así como su hija de 11 años, Blue Ivy, quien estuvo a su lado.

Tay y B aprovecharon al máximo su noche en la capital británica posando para las fotos profesionales de la alfombra roja. Taylor también se tomó selfies con sus fans más acérrimos.

La cantante de "Karma" estaba claramente encantada de estar en el evento, demostrando que a pesar de que su relación con Travis Kelce estaba ganando impulso, ella estaba dispuesta a dejarlo en Kansas City para apoyar a su amiga en su gran noche.

Fue hace solo unas semanas cuando Beyoncé apareció en el estreno de la película "Eras" en Los Ángeles, así que había una gran sospecha de que Taylor haría lo mismo.

Si vas a mi estreno, yo voy al tuyo.
