Un asistente dijo que no había más de 100 personas en el evento privado de bienestar y salud.

Kourtney Kardashian está siendo criticada por el alcalde de Malibú alegando que su gente mintió para obtener un permiso para hacer una fiesta.

El alcalde Bruce Silverstein dice que el organizador de eventos de Kourtney presentó una solicitud a la ciudad para una fiesta, alegando que era para una fiesta de bienvenida al bebé. Pidieron un "Permiso de emergencia acelerado para grandes eventos" en una casa unifamiliar. Presentaron el permiso en parte porque había problemas de estacionamiento con la multitud. Además, estaban alquilando una casa que no era de Kourtney.

El alcalde dice que todo era una farsa. La fiesta era en realidad un evento promocional para Poosh Camp. Poosh es la marca de salud y bienestar de Kourtney.

El alcalde dice que la solicitud de permiso dice que 94 invitados asistirían al "baby shower" cuando en realidad alrededor de 600 invitados se presentaron para Poosh.

El alcalde Silverstein dijo: "La Ciudad de Malibú continúa colocando a las celebridades y el vienestar de los Uber por sobre los residentes, el personal de la ciudad se vende a Kardashian y concede un permiso acelerado de emergencia para un gran evento en una casa unifamiliar vacía en un barrio privado."

Continúa: "Como funcionario electo, sin embargo, estoy consternado por la situación y ahora puedo entender las quejas de los residentes de toda la ciudad. No es una buena imagen para la ciudad, aunque es un gran anuncio para los no residentes que quieren venir aquí y destruir el disfrute pacífico de la gente que vive en sus hogares".

No había terminado: "Tengo entendido que el evento ha sido presentado como una fiesta para el bebé y que está siendo organizado por el dueño de la propiedad. Ambas presentaciones son contrarias a lo que el planificador del evento me dijo. Me dijeron que la casa estaba siendo "alquilada" para un "evento de influencers". Obviamente alguna de las dos historias es falsa.

El alcalde dice que ninguno de los Kardashians ni siquiera se presentó al evento. Todo era promoción comercial. Entre los invitados famosos estaban Diplo, Ariana Madix y Gorillaz.

Kourtney Kardashian is being indirectly blasted by the Mayor of Malibu -- who says folks working on behalf of her company appear to have gotten a rubber-stamped "A-OK" for a shindig in the 11th hour ... by none other than the City itself.

Mayor Bruce Silverstein laid it all out on Facebook Saturday -- detailing what he claims was a shady sign-off on a permit that allowed Kourtney's camp to host a private event at a home they rented in the Mayor's neighborhood ... which he later came to learn was tied to her Poosh brand.

It's worth reading his post to get the full context of what he's alleging here, but essentially -- it amounts to preferential treatment that he says is far too often granted to the rich and famous of Malibu. This time, he says it just so happened to work out for a Kardashian.

As for what he's specifically fuming over ... Silverstein says when he noticed the event getting set up at this empty house next door this week -- with truckloads of crap getting unloaded -- he asked what was going on ... and says he was told it was an influencer event. The Mayor says he informed the organizers that they needed a permit for that sort of thing -- and then proceeded to follow up with City staff to see if that was actually happening.

We'll spare you all the details, but basically ... the Mayor alleges that the City approved a Special Events Permit for the event planners working on behalf of Poosh -- and he goes on to claim that it seems to have been green-lit in record time, and under what he claims are possible false pretenses ... as it pertains to what the event was described as, how many people would be attending, the setup/breakdown procedure and resident notice required.

And yet, the Mayor claims everyone appears to have just looked the other way on all of it -- and he suspects all of this was done to appease a high-profile resident of the area.

The Mayor says he's disheartened by this -- as he goes on to explain that the regular citizens of Malibu hardly ever get the red carpet rolled out for them for things they wanna do -- having to wait weeks for a permit, as he notes -- but for a celeb ... immediate turnaround. He also says these type of events are a huge headache for the normies -- both in a safety capacity, but also as a general nuisance when it comes to noise, traffic, etc.

Silverstein says this is part of a much larger issue that he aims to address soon at the next City Council meeting ... and while he certainly seems upset with Kourtney and/or the people working with her on this particular get-together, he's much angrier at the powers that be that he suggests are willing to bend the knee at a moment's notice ... a culture he's tired of.

A couple points worth noting ... Poosh documented their Malibu bash on social media (it's all over their IG Story) but it's not clear if Kourtney herself attended it. Silverstein doesn't say she did or didn't ... but he does sound angry that her brand was given a clear path to seemingly do what it wanted at the drop of a dime -- at least according to him, anyway.

One last nugget that's worth mentioning ... we've learned that the Poosh party was actually put together via a major PR agency (Harper Sloane) -- so Kourtney's involvement in this is truly unknown at this point. Yes, she's the face of the company -- but we have no idea whether she herself knew about this event or what her participation in it was, if any.

Las hijas de David Foster no están dando tregua al gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, a quien acusan de intentar convertir a Cali en un estado socialista.

Las hermanas Erin y Sara criticaron a Newsom en su podcast, "El Primer Podcast del Mundo", diciendo que hay una razón por la que mucha gente quiere rescatar a su estado natal y es que están hartos de lidiar con toda la regulación, cortesía de Newsom.

Su crítica contra el gobernador se produjo después de que Erin revelara que se va a mudar del Estado de Oro a Nashville.

Eso no es todo. Las hijas de David se han quejado del gobernador Newsom por un proyecto de ley que Sara dice obligaría a las personas que se hayan mudado de California a seguir pagando impuestos en el Estado durante una década.

Para que conste, la propuesta de ley en cuestión, presentada por primera vez a principios de año, se centraría en las personas que ganan $30 millones o más al año, y las empresas lucrativas que decidan retirarse del Estado. La ley propuesta obligaría a pagar a las personas y empresas que amasan riquezas mientras residen en Cali, pero se mueven a otro lugar antes de liquidar esa riqueza.

David Foster's daughters ain't holding back on California's Governor, Gavin Newsom ... calling out the politician and grousing he's trying to turn Cali into a socialist state.

Sisters Erin and Sara skewered Newsom on their "The World's First Podcast," essentially saying there's a reason lots of people are bailing from their home state ... they're sick of jumping through regulatory hoops, courtesy of the Guv.

Their rant came after Erin revealed she was getting out of The Golden State and moving to Nashville.

That's not all .. David's kids rail on Gov. Newsom for a bill that Sara says would force people who move out of the State to continue to pay CA taxes for a decade.

For the record, the proposed exit law in question -- first introduced at the beginning of the year -- would target rich folks who make $30 million or more a year and lucrative businesses that leave the State. The proposed law would require people and businesses that amass paper wealth while residing in Cali but move before liquidating that wealth.

John Cusack -- someone who's been transparent about his liberal views for years -- is coming after Democrats ... 'cause in his eyes, they have a total lack of morals.

The often-left-wing actor didn't hold back on social media earlier this week, saying those towards the top of the Democratic Party are "full of s***." He goes on to blame them for people switching to Donald Trump as a consideration for the presidency.

It's a long rant that John goes on -- he even takes shots at former Prez Barack Obama's iconic "Hope and Change" slogan ... something John's calling, "another branded hustle."

John's heated talk came in response to an article that claimed Dems are considering doing away with federal wealth taxes ... writing, "This kind of staggering amoral bulls*** is one of the main reason[s] (yes there are others) Trump's demagoguery works on people."

He sarcastically adds, "Don’t worry fellas - the democrats will save the .000000001 % from paying tax" ... saying, "To even attempt this … Unbelievable."

For those unaware, John's often spoken out about things like politics, activism, and wealth distribution ... but he usually sees things from a Democratic perspective.

John Cusack es alguien que ha sido transparente acerca de sus puntos de vista liberales durante años, pero nos enteramos que esta vez va en contra de los demócratas ya que bajo su punto de vista, tienen una total falta de moral.

El actor —a menudo de izquierdas— no se contuvo en las redes sociales a principios de esta semana diciendo que los que están en la cima del Partido Demócrata están "llenos de mierda". A continuación, les culpa de que la gente se haya pasado a Donald Trump como candidato a la presidencia.

Es un largo despotricar el de John, incluso ningunea el icónico eslogan del ex Presidente Barack Obama "Esperanza y Cambio", algo que John llama, "otro timo de marca".

La acalorada charla de John vino en respuesta a un artículo que afirmaba que los demócratas están considerando eliminar los impuestos federales sobre la riqueza escribiendo: "Este tipo de asombrosa mierda amoral es una de las principales razones (sí hay otras) por las que la demagogia de Trump funciona en la gente".

Y añade sarcásticamente: "No se preocupen amigos, los demócratas salvarán al .000000001 % de pagar impuestos" diciendo: "Para siquiera intentar esto ... Increíble".

Para aquellos que no lo saben, John ha hablado a menudo sobre cosas como la política, el activismo, y la distribución de la riqueza pero por lo general ve las cosas desde una perspectiva demócrata.

Quavo está abordando su lucha contra la violencia de las armas directamente con la Casa Blanca, ya que el rapero reunió personalmente con la Vicepresidenta Kamala Harris para conversar un asunto que para él es muy personal.

La megaestrella estuvo acompañado de su madre y Titania Davenport, madre del fallecido Takeoff, en la reunión, la que tuvo lugar en 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Nos dicen que Quavo expresó su deseo de que el Congreso apruebe la Ley para Romper el Ciclo de la Violencia, que permitiría tratar la violencia por las armas como un riesgo para la salud pública, igual que el abuso de sustancias y la depresión.

Quavo también compartió sus historias personales, instando a la Vicepresidenta a apoyar su misión en todo lo que esté a su alcance.

Kamala Harris agradeció públicamente a la familia en su cuenta de Instagram, por usar su plataforma no solo para honrar a Takeoff, sino también para generar conciencia sobre la importancia de prevenir la violencia que provocan las armas.

Quavo recientemente creó la fundación Rocket Foundation para impactar en la legislación sobre las armas tanto a nivel estatal como federal, y vino específicamente a D.C. para asegurar un respaldo político más fuerte, especialmente en áreas desatendidas.

Más temprano en el día, Quavo se reunió con varios representantes del Black Caucus del Congreso para impulsar la política y concluyó el día con el líder de la comunidad, Greg Jackson. Ambos coorganizaron una recepción para los legisladores y los defensores de la prevención de la violencia armada para discutir mejores soluciones.

Quavo cree firmemente que la violencia por las armas se puede prevenir, y que vino a D.C. para construir comunidades más seguras.

Quavo's taking his gun violence plight straight to the White House ... where he met with Vice President Kamala Harris for a sit-down on the hot-button, and very personal, issue.

The megastar rapper was joined by his mother and sister Titania Davenport, mother to the late Takeoff, for the meeting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

We're told Quavo expressed his desire for Congress to pass the Break the Cycle of Violence Act, which will enable gun violence to be treated as a public health risk ... akin to substance abuse and depression.

He also shared his personal stories, urging the Veep to support their mission to the fullest extent of her power.

The Vice Prez thanked the family publicly on her IG for using their platform to not only honor Takeoff, but also to spread gun violence prevention awareness.

His recently launched Rocket Foundation was created to impact gun laws on both the state and federal levels, and Quavo specifically came to D.C. to secure stronger political backing ... especially in underserved areas.

Earlier in the day, Quavo met with various Representatives from the Congressional Black Caucus to push the policy and concluded the day with community leader Greg Jackson ... as they cohosted a reception for lawmakers and gun violence prevention advocates to discuss better solutions.

Quavo firmly thinks gun violence is preventable, and says he came to D.C. aiming to build safer communities.

La drag queen que actuó en el bar de propiedad del tipo que acarició las tetas de la representante Lauren Boebert tiene un pequeño secreto sucio sobre ellos.

TMZ habló con Kendra Matic, la única drag performer que subió al escenario en el bar de Aspen de Quinn Gallagher (la cita de Boebert) en enero, y nos dio un montón de información sobre esta saga que nadie parece haber sabido hasta ahora.

Para empezar, Kendra nos dijo que apoya 100% a Quinn, a quien define como un gran tipo, con el que sin duda volvería a trabajar si la llamara para otro espectáculo. Kendra dice que la actuación de este año salió muy bien e insiste en que QG tiene un buen corazón.

Es por el cariño que le tiene a Quinn que Kendra no puede entender su relación con la congresista republicana, y sí, estamos usando ese término especialmente aquí.

De cualquier modo, de acuerdo con Kendra, Boebert y Gallagher había estado saliendo por un tiempo, algo de lo que varios en la zona eran conscientes, según ella. Por lo tanto, la idea de que este habría sido el primer encuentro entre ellos parece ser falsa.

Vamos a dejar que Kendra hable por sí misma sobre lo que puede o no revelar de los chismes sobre RLB y Quinn en la ciudad, pero digamos que en una ciudad pequeñas... las personas suelen hablar, y mucho.

Ahora sobre Boebert, Kendra dice que hizo sus tareas y vio algunas de las cosas que ha dicho la Representante sobre temas LGBTQ +, de lo cual es muy opositora, como está bien documentado, y ella dice que la decepciona que Quinn esté con alguien así.

The drag queen who performed at the bar owned by the guy who was fondling Rep. Lauren Boebert's boobs last week says contrary to Boebert's claim, that date wasn't #1.

TMZ talked to Kendra Matic ... who was the lone drag performer who took the stage at Quinn Gallagher's Aspen bar back in January, and she gave us a LOT of previously unknown insight into this whole saga.

For starters, KM tells us she 100% stands behind Quinn -- whom she says is a great guy who she would definitely work with again if he called her for another drag show. Kendra says the gig earlier this year went really well ... and insists QG's got a good heart.

It's because of how fond she is of Quinn that Kendra can't understand his relationship with the Republican congresswoman -- and yes, we're using that term specifically here.

As it turns out -- according to Kendra, anyway -- Boebert and Gallagher had actually been seeing each other for a while ... something Kendra says quite a few people in the area were aware of. So, the notion this was a first-time hookup, as Boebert hinted, appears to be bogus.

We'll let Kendra talk for herself here on what she can and can't reveal about the gossip around town over RLB and Quinn -- but let's just say ... a small town talks!

Now, on Boebert herself ... Kendra tells us she's done her homework and seen some of the nasty things the representative has said about LGBTQ+ issues -- and she's disappointed that Quinn is into a person like that.

Diddy's not just gonna stop with an R&B album, he's got a hip hop project on the way ... so says his son, Christian "King" Combs, who says he's gonna be featured on the thing!!!

TMZ Hip Hop connected with Christian and Raven Tracy in NYC Wednesday where he explained his absence from his dad's new LP "The Love Album: Off The Grid."

The album features a ton of big names --  MJB, The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign and a handful of notable rap stars -- but King says his lyrical talents are better suited for the next go 'round.

Christian and Raven were actually en route to a back-to-school drive when we caught them -- complete with his newly minted Key to the City.

Quavo stormed Capitol Hill Wednesday morning on behalf of his Rocket Foundation, and he arrived with the clear-cut agenda of tackling gun violence ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

The ex-Migos frontman was joined by his mother and his older sister, Takeoff's mother, as part of the 52nd Annual Legislative Conference.

Quavo met with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Cory Booker, Representatives Lucy McBath, Steven Horsford, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Robin Kelly, Maxwell Frost and community organizer Greg Jackson to voice his complaints.

Quavo's Rocket Foundation was established to bring awareness for gun violence prevention on both a state and federal level.

Several of the Congress members have an active "Break the Cycle of Violence Act" campaign, and we're told all parties were working Wednesday on viable solutions in a closed-door meeting.

Takeoff was shot and killed in November 2022, and Quavo hasn't stopped honoring his legacy.

Quavo irrumpió en el Capitol Hill este miércoles por la mañana, en representación de su Fundación Rocket, y llegó con el propósito claro de hacer frente a la violencia por armas de fuego, según ha indagado TMZ Hip Hop.

El ex frontman de Migos fue acompañado por su madre, su hermana mayor y la madre de Takeoff, como parte de la 52ª Conferencia Legislativa Anual.

Quavo se reunió con el líder demócrata de la Cámara de Representantes, Hakeem Jeffries, el senador Cory Booker, los representantes Nikema Williams, Steven Horsford, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Robin Kelly, Maxwell Frost y el organizador comunitario Greg Jackson para expresar sus quejas.

La Fundación Rocket de Quavo se creó con el fin de generar conciencia sobre prevención de la violencia armada, tanto a nivel estatal como federal.

Varios de los congresistas han sido activos en la campaña "Break the Cycle of Violence Act", y nos cuentan que todas las partes estuvieron trabajando en soluciones viables, en una reunión a puerta cerrada este miércoles.

Takeoff fue asesinado a tiros en noviembre de 2022, y Quavo no ha dejado de honrar su legado.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's handsy night at the theater has a Colorado bar getting flooded with a bunch of negative reviews ... all because the guy she was foolin' around with owns it.

Lauren's date that night, Quinn Gallagher, owns Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, and folks online have been taking to Yelp to express their distaste -- but they're more enraged about his night out as opposed to the actual biz.

One Yelper said Quinn is "disruptive & disrespectful in public places," an obvious reference to last week's caught-on-camera moment while he and Boebert were enjoying "Beetlejuice" the musical ... and each other.

Another wrote, "This place sucks unless you admire an owner that dates Boobert [sic] and causes a ruckus at a theater play" -- while someone else added, "The owner is doinking 36 year old Grandma Boebert, who supported an insurrection against America!"

The chatter on Yelp has gotten so bad, the platform had to temporarily disable reviews -- something the site often does when it sees a rapid uptick in folks review-bombing a business.

It didn't stop there, though -- Hooch's Facebook page was met with the same negative energy ... and its Instagram account has also turned off comments.

As we reported, we got Lauren in D.C., and she told us Quinn is a great guy, but a second date isn't in their future ... something she openly attributes to their political differences.

Donald Trump Jr. might wanna get Elon Musk on the horn -- cuz he just got his X (formerly Twitter) account hacked -- sending out tweets about Biden, North Korea and the false news his father died.

Trump Jr.'s account came under attack Wednesday morning, users on the social media app became alarmed when the account wrote, "I'm sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024."

Of course, there were almost immediately skeptics, as the message itself seemed off ... but the next string of tweets really proved there was a hack.

The account wrote, "This just in: North Korea is about to get smoked" as well as "Some interesting messages with Jeffrey Epstein" and "F*** Joe Biden Stupid Ass N****."

Donald Trump Jr. querrá comunicarse inmediatamente con Elon Musk, porque su cuenta en X (antes Twitter) acaba de ser hackeada y, quien tomó el control escribió varios tweets sobre Biden, Corea del Norte e incluso la falsa noticia de que su padre había muerto.

La cuenta de Trump Jr. fue atacada el miércoles por la mañana. Los usuarios de la aplicación se alarmaron cuando la cuenta escribió: "Me entristece anunciar que mi padre Donald Trump ha fallecido. Me presentaré a presidente en 2024".

Por supuesto, hubo escépticos inmediatamente, ya que el mensaje en sí parecía fuera de lugar, pero la siguiente cadena de tweets realmente demostró que había un hackeo.

La cuenta escribió: "Esto acaba de llegar: Corea del Norte está a punto de ser derrotada", así como "Algunos mensajes interesantes con Jeffrey Epstein" y "F*** Joe Biden Stupid Ass N****".
