Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is clearly recovering nicely after breaking his hip during a nasty fall last week -- 'cause he's now firing off jokes about the situation, calling himself "Humpty Kareem!"

The NBA legend shared an update on his status on his Substack page on Monday ... revealing he was actually on his way to delivering a speech at The Manhattan Transfer's concert on Friday at Disney Hall in Los Angeles when the spill happened.

"I'd like to say I fell while trying to save a child from plunging over a balcony," he wrote, "but I just tripped."

"Hard for me to accept that a once world-class athlete just stumbled. But age is the great equalizer and humbles us all."

The 76-year-old, though, shared a snap of him in a hospital bed with a huge grin -- appearing to show that his rehab is moving smoothly.

Abdul-Jabbar also thanked all the first responders who cared for him after he went down ... and he vowed to be up and at 'em again shortly.

"All my best to you from my hospital bed," he wrote. "Me and my new hip will be dancing to [The Manhattan Transfer's] tunes again."

"Well," he continued, "gently swaying."

Nicki Minaj just became the female rapper with the most multiple No. 1 albums ... which created the perfect opportunity for her ace, Foxy Brown, to flex her pettiness on the competition!!!

As you know, last week, Nicki made a splash with her new album "Pink Friday 2" -- it's all set to top the Billboard 200 this week.

She wouldn't even let Kanye West get involved in the momentum the album is so hot!!!

The project gives Nicki the record for most No. 1 albums by a female rapper ... she'd previously been tied with Foxy, whose record was set back in 1999.

Foxy collaborated with Nicki on her last album and didn't waste time hopping on IG to congratulate her ... as well as throw sneaky shade at her rivals, such as Lil Kim.

Foxy gloated all over a fan tweet that implied Kim had the same amount of time in her career to snag some No. 1's for herself ... but didn't.

The "Ill Na Na" rapper says she'll also be putting herself back in the history books with a new album next year -- her first since 2008.

Robert Pattinson y Suki Waterhouse parecen tener algo más que un bebé en camino, puede que incluso escuchemos campanas de boda en un futuro próximo si este anillo es una señal.

La pareja estuvo paseando por Londres el lunes y Suki estaba mostrando una enorme roca de diamantes en ESE dedo. Ambos parecían muy contentos mientras caminaban por el frío clima del Reino Unido. Y si ellos están realmente comprometidos, ¡suponemos que tienen todos los motivos del mundo para estar emocionados!

Por supuesto, hay otras buenas noticias en su universo por estos días, la principal, que van a tener un hijo, algo que Suki Waterhouse no oculta en absoluto en esta salida.

Como se puede ver, ella llevaba una especie de crop top que exponía su vientre, mostrando su pancita al máximo, incluso con el frío de diciembre.

Suki reveló la noticia de su embarazo a fines del mes pasado durante una actuación en México, donde casualmente contó que iba a tener un bebé enseñando sus evidentes cambios corporales. Desde entonces, ella y Rob han salido mucho por Nueva York.

Ahora, parece que seguirán el camino tradicional a través del (posible) matrimonio.

Robert y Suki han estado saliendo desde 2018, pero han sido relativamente discretos sobre su relación, teniendo en cuenta su estatus de A-List. Dicho esto, no rehúyen de mostrar su afecto públicamente en absoluto.

Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse seem to have more than just a baby on the way -- there may even be wedding bells in the near future ... if this ring is any indication.

The couple was strolling in London Monday and Suki flashed a massive diamond rock on THAT finger. They both seemed pretty giddy as they walked along in the brisk UK weather. If they are, in fact, engaged ... we suppose they have every reason to be stoked!

Of course, there's other good news in their universe these days -- namely, the fact they're expecting a child together ... something SW was not hiding whatsoever in this outing.

As you can see, she was wearing some sort of crop top that exposed her belly ... so, baby bumpin' to the max -- even in chilly December!

Suki revealed their pregnancy news late last month during a performance in Mexico ... where she casually dropped the fact she had a bun in the oven -- pointing out her obvious body changes. Since then, she and Rob have been out and about a lot in NYC.

Now, it looks like they're going the traditional route for their family ... via (possible) marriage.

Robert and Suki have been dating since 2018, but have been relatively low-key about their relationship considering their A-list status. That said, they don't shy away from PDA at all.

Madonna tuvo unas palabras para Andy Cohen. La diva ventiló sus quejas con él de manera juguetona cuando lo vio en medio de la audiencia en su gira "Celebración" en Nueva York.

La Reina del Pop le aconsejó al presentador del programa de entrevistas que se mantuviera alejado de cualquier futura indirecta en "Watch What Happens Live", con un clip que la mostraba caminando hacia él con una botella en la mano durante el programa del sábado, preguntando: "¿Cuán f****** afortunada soy, Andy?".

"Si dices una cosa mala más sobre mí en tu programa", comenzó sacudiendo su bebida hacia adelante lo suficiente como para que se derramara cerca de Andy advirtiendo: "Oh sí, vas a estar en muchos problemas. ¡¡Pequeña reina alborotadora!!"

Una charla pública de Madonna haría que muchos quisieran esconderse, pero Andy estaba encantado por el regaño, murmurando "Te amo" a la estrella.

De hecho, estaba tan emocionado que compartió el clip en Intagram, escribiendo que como fan de Madonna de toda la vida, estaba impresionado de ser llamado una "reina alborotadora" y no podía esperar a volver.

Los caminos del dúo se han cruzado antes, con ellos posando juntos en 2009... además, Andy ha estado varias veces junto a otros fans en los conciertos de la cantante.

En cuanto a lo que las burlas, no estamos seguros a cuál se refiere, aunque a principios de este año, Andy dijo que estaba cansado de que la "material girl" no se materializara en su estudio.

Madonna had some words for Andy Cohen ... playfully airing her grievances with him after spotting him at her "Celebration" tour in NYC.

The Queen of Pop advised the talk show host to steer clear of any future digs on "Watch What Happens Live" ... with a clip showing her walking up to him with a bottle in hand during Saturday's show, asking, "How f****** lucky am I, Andy?"

"If you say one more bad thing about me on your show," she began jolting her drink forward enough for some spillage near Andy -- cautioning: "Oh yeah, you're gonna be in so much trouble. You little troublemaking queen!!"

A public talking to from Madonna would make many want to dissipate into a deep, dark hole -- but Andy was delighted by the scolding -- mouthing "I love you" to the star.

In fact, he was so thrilled he shared the clip on IG, writing that as a lifelong Madonna fan, he was blown away to be called a "troublemaking queen" -- and couldn't wait to go back.

The duo's paths have crossed before IRL ... with them posing together for a snap as far back as 2009 ... though it looks like Andy's consistently found himself in the fan zone with her.

As for what jibes Madonna was referring to ... we don't know for sure, though earlier this year, Andy said he was so over the Material Girl not materializing on his show.

Un concierto de Blueface y Jaidyn Alexis casi se convierte en un combate de MMA... luego de que echara a una fan del escenario después de acusarla de lanzarle algo a los artistas.

Los futuros esposos estaban actuando en Utah durante el fin de semana, cuando un trozo de hielo supuestamente pasó peligrosamente cerca de Jaidyn, Blueface señaló a la fan femenina que pensaba que era responsable y la subió al escenario.

Luego, Blueface lanzó a la mujer fuera del escenario y hacia Jaidyn, animando a su prometida a golpear a la mujer.

A partir de ahí, se desata el infierno y Jaidyn lanza varios puñetazos a las órdenes de Blueface, por suerte, ninguno conectó.

La mujer logró escapar gracias a la seguridad, pero los fans piden que Jaidyn abandone su relación con Blueface.

A concert for Blueface and Jaidyn Alexis almost turned into an MMA match ... tossing a female fan off the stage after accusing her of throwing something at the performers.

The soon-to-be husband and wife were performing in Utah over the weekend when a piece of ice allegedly whizzed past Jaidyn -- Blueface singled out the female fan he thought was responsible for the ice, pulling her up on the stage.

Then, Blueface tossed the woman off the stage and toward Jaidyn, encouraging his fiancée to beat the woman up.

From there, all hell breaks loose, and Jaidyn throws several punches on Blueface’s orders ... luckily, it didn't appear any connected.

The woman managed to escape thanks to security, but fans are calling for Jaidyn to jump ship from her relationship with Blueface.

Drake is patting himself on the back for a year well done, admitting he couldn't do it without the love of his supporters -- and the bad intentions of his haters.

Drake took to IG Sunday to deliver a PSA to celebrate his 2023 ... he released his thirteenth No. 1 album "For All The Dogs" and closed the year as the top-streamed artist on Spotify.

Drake acknowledged he couldn't have done it without fans driving his numbers up and constantly supporting him.

Drake also lashed out at the "nonbelievers, the underachievers and the tweet-and-deleters" -- and fans instantly remembered Metro Boomin subliminally shading Drake on X a couple of weeks ago.

Metro was upset that Drake and 21 Savage's "Her Loss" was receiving more award show attention than his "Heroes & Villains" project ... although it's not totally clear why.

Both albums are nominated for Best Rap Album at next year's Grammys ... but Drake says guys like that make his stomach turn and dared anyone of them to step to his face.

Kendall Jenner dealt with the breakup blues this weekend the same way she might on any other given night -- a high-priced meal with her celebrity pals ... in this case, the Biebers.

The supermodel capped off her Aspen weekend Sunday by hitting up one of the hot spots there in town, Catch, and we gotta say ... she looked damn good walking into the joint, rocking a very on-theme black and white ensemble that she was wearing the hell out of.

Now, KJ was fairly stone-faced ... not revealing any emotion, one way or another, that you could attach to her new relationship status.

Couple ways to interpret that, we suppose -- either she's somber/sad about the split, or doesn't have a care in the world. Eye of the beholder, as they say.

Anyway, Justin and Hailey Bieber joined her to chow down ... they were also there in Aspen, and we know they're already great friends. Them joining could just be pals getting together for dinner ... or a coming-together of consolation. Either way, they had her back.

Of course, them breaking bread -- very publicly, mind you -- comes on the heels of word that Kendall and Bad Bunny split ... this after not being seen together for well over a month.

The last time they were pictured together was actually in a photo we obtained ... the morning after their big Halloween bash in late October, where they were grabbing breakfast together and looking very much so like a couple. Since then, they've noticeably been apart.

Kendall did allude to a potential breakup back in mid-November ... when she threw up a cryptic IG post that said whatever was meant for her would find its way to her.

BB, meanwhile, hasn't said diddly squat ... and he's laid pretty low heading into November/December. If they are, in fact, dunzo as reports claim -- they had a good run.

Drake se da palmaditas en la espalda por un año bien hecho, admitiendo que no podría hacerlo sin el amor de sus seguidores y las malas intenciones de sus haters.

Drake habló por IG el domingo para celebrar su 2023, lanzó su decimotercer álbum No. 1 "For All The Dogs" y cerró el año como el artista más visto en Spotify.

Drake reconoció que no podría haberlo hecho sin los fans que impulsan sus números y lo  apoyan constantemente.

Drake también arremetió contra los "no creyentes y los haters de tuiter" y los fans recordaron al instante a Metro Boomin, quien habló mal de Drake de manera sutil por medio de X.

Metro estaba molesto porque "Her Loss" de Drake y 21 Savage estaba recibiendo más atención en los premios días que su proyecto "Heroes & Villains", aunque no está del todo claro por qué.

Ambos álbumes están nominados a Mejor Álbum de Rap en los Grammy del próximo año, pero Drake dice que tipos como ese le revuelven el estómago y retó a cualquiera de ellos a que le pisara la cara.

Kendall Jenner lidió con la tristeza de la ruptura este fin de semana de la misma manera que lo haría cualquier otra noche, con una comida costosa con amigos famosos... en este caso, los Biebers.

La supermodelo coronó su fin de semana de Aspen el domingo llegando a uno de los lugares de moda de la ciudad, Catch, y tenemos que decir que se veía muy bien luciendo un conjunto blanco y negro.

Kendall se veía bastante inexpresiva. Podemos interpretar que está triste por la separación, o, por otro lado... no tiene la más mínima preocupación en el mundo.

De todos modos, Justin y Hailey Bieber se unieron a ella para comer... también estaban allí en Aspen y sabemos que ya son grandes amigos. No estamos seguros si fue una simple junta de amigos o una reunión de consolación.

Recordemos que todo esto viene justo depués de los recientes rumores de separación entre Kendall y Bad Bunny, todo luego de no haber sido vistos juntos por más de un mes.

La última vez que fueron fotografiados juntos fue después de su gran fiesta de Halloween a finales de octubre, donde estaban desayunando juntos y se veían como una pareja normal. Desde entonces, han estado notablemente separados.

Kendall hizo alusión a una posible ruptura a mediados de noviembre, cuando lanzó un mensaje enigmático por Inta que decía que "sea cual sea el camino que la espera, ella está dispuesta a seguirlo".

Por otra parte, Bad Bunny no ha dicho nada y ha estado bastante bajo perfil durante noviembre y lo que va de diciembre.

Amanda Bynes has hit the brakes on her new podcast after just one episode ... and it's all because she's unable to book famous entertainers like Drake.

In a video posted Sunday to TikTok, the ex-child star explained that she was pausing her "Amanda Bynes and Paul Sieminski: Podcast" on Spotify even though it was "doing very well and the response has been great."

Amanda says the reason was simple ... she just couldn't convince Jack Harlow, Post Malone, Drake or some other A-list musicians to come on the show.

But, Amanda promised the podcast would return if she could reel in those types of guests.

She ended by thanking everyone for watching the one episode she hosted with her friend Paul Sieminski on December 9.

For 26 minutes, the two chatted with Amanda's longtime buddy, LA-based tattoo artist Dahlia Moth.

The "pause" comes as somewhat of a surprise because Amanda just told TMZ ... while she had no plans to discuss her personal problems or her former career as an actress, the podcast was still going full steam ahead.

As you know, Amanda has struggled for years with mental health issues and was placed in a conservatorship in 2013 following her many legal troubles.

Kanye West was apparently up in the air a lot over the past 48 hours -- 'cause the dude just landed in L.A. with none other than Will Smith ... this after a quick trip to the Middle East.

This photo of Will and Ye posing together with a woman for a selfie aboard a first-class flight is circulating online, and word is ... it depicts them aboard an Emirates plane that left from Dubai to Los Angeles Sunday, with KW and co. now back in the States.

If that sounds confusing, you're not alone. It's true, Kanye was literally just here in L.A. the other day ... hitting up Disneyland Thursday with his wife, Bianca, and his daughter North.

Of course, he was also just in Vegas the day after that (Friday) where he went on an unhinged rant ... and once again invoked the name of Adolf Hitler, not to mention Jesus.

It appears that sometime between then and now ... Ye hopped a plane all the way across the world to do something in Saudi Arabia, where he'd been spending much of his time over the past couple months or so working on his new album. Perhaps he went back for that?

In any case, looks like he ran into Will on his way back home ... and they boarded together.

Will was noticeably out there himself and documented it all publicly on his IG ... performing at a music fest in Saudi Arabia alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff ... and his son Jaden was there too.

Unclear who else might've been on the plane with them or to what extent they all interacted -- but from this photo alone, it's pretty clear they're at least somewhat chummy/friendly.

As for Ye ... hey, the dude's still filthy freaking rich and can go anywhere he wants at the drop of a hat. He might've lost hundreds of millions last year, but he's still got plenty of Benjamins to his name. That much is clear from this seemingly sudden 8,000-plus-mile jaunt.

Amanda Bynes ha pisado el freno en su nuevo podcast después de solo un episodio y todo porque ella es incapaz de reservar artistas famosos como Drake.

En un video publicado el domingo en TikTok, la ex estrella infantil explicó que estaba pausando su "Amanda Bynes y Paul Sieminski: Podcast" en Spotify a pesar de que le estaba "yendo muy bien y la respuesta ha sido genial".

Amanda dice que la razón era simple, ella simplemente no podía convencer a Jack Harlow, Post Malone, Drake o algunos otros músicos de la lista A para venir en el programa.

Sin embargo, Amanda prometió que el pódcast volvería si ella podía conseguir a alguno de esos invitados.

Terminó dando las gracias a todos por ver el episodio que presentó con su amigo Paul Sieminski el 9 de diciembre.

Durante 26 minutos, charlaron con Dahlia Moth, viejo amigo de Amandam y artista de tatuaje con sede en Los Ángeles.

La "pausa" es una sorpresa porque Amanda acababa de decirle a TMZ que, aunque no tenía planes de discutir sus problemas personales o su antigua carrera como actriz, el podcast todavía iba a toda máquina.

Como ustedes saben, Amanda ha luchado durante años con problemas de salud mental y se colocó en una tutela en 2013 después de sus muchos problemas legales.

Kanye West ha viajado mucho las últimas 48 horas, porque el tipo acaba de aterrizar en Los Ángeles con nada menos que Will Smith, esto después de un rápido viaje a Oriente Medio.

Esta foto de Will y Ye posando juntos con una mujer en una selfie en un vuelo de primera clase está circulando en línea. Era un avión de Emirates que salió de Dubai a Los Ángeles el domingo, con Kanye y compañía de vuelta en los Estados Unidos

Si eso suena confuso, no estás solo. Es cierto, Kanye estuvo literalmente aquí en Los Ángeles el otro día, visitando Disneylandia el jueves con su esposa, Bianca, y su hija North.

Por supuesto, él también estaba en Las Vegas el día después (viernes), donde disparó algunas polémicas... una vez más trajo el nombre de Adolf Hitler y Jesús a la palestra.

Parece que en algún momento, entre entonces y ahora, Ye saltó un avión todo el camino a través del mundo para hacer algo en Arabia Saudita, donde había estado pasando gran parte de su tiempo en el último par de meses trabajando en su nuevo álbum. ¿Quizás volvió para eso?

En cualquier caso, parece que se encontró con Will en su camino de regreso a casa y embarcaron juntos.

Will estaba notablemente fuera de sí y lo documentó todo públicamente en su Insta, actuando en un festival de música en Arabia Saudita junto a DJ Jazzy Jeff y su hijo Jaden estaba allí también.

No está claro quién más podría haber estado en el avión con ellos o en qué medida interactuaron, pero a partir de esta foto, podemos decir que al menos se respetan el uno al otro.

En cuanto a Ye... el tipo sigue siendo asquerosamente rico y puede ir a donde quiera. Puede que haya perdido cientos de millones el año pasado, pero todavía tiene un montón de "Benjamins" a su nombre. Eso es lo que se desprende de este aparentemente repentino viaje de más de 8.000 millas.
