Reality TV

Kim Kardashian tiene su médula oblonga representada en tercera dimensión, porque recibió un regalo inusual, una réplica de tamaño natural de su fideo.

La estrella de la realidad publicó un par de videos durante el fin de semana mostrando este regalo de Navidad que ella dice que recibió de una empresa llamada Prenuvo, que hace escáneres de cuerpo completo, y que recibió a Kim y algunos otros miembros de la familia para hacerse exámenes de rutina.

Parece que usaron las imágenes que obtuvieron de su cerebro y le enviaron un modelo 3D para las fiestas. Kim está bastante impresionada con el gesto.

Kim trabajó con Prenuvo a principios de año y animó a la gente a hacerse el escáner con la empresa, señalando que podría detectar algo que normalmente no se detecta. El único problema, para algunos, es que es caro, alrededor de $2.500 por exploración.

Puede que no sea algo que todo el mundo pueda permitirse, pero Kim parece estar agradecida de habérselo hecho.

Kim Kardashian has her medulla oblongata at the forefront of her mind for the holidays -- and the reason is she got a wacky gift ... a life-sized replica of her noodle!

The reality star posted a couple videos over the weekend showing off this Christmas present she says she received from a company called Prenuvo -- which does full-body scans, and which actually hosted Kim and some other family members to do a diagnostic screening.

Looks like they used the imaging they got of her brain, and sent her a 3D model of it for the holidays ... and from what we can tell, Kim's impressed with the thoughtful gesture.

Kim actually worked with Prenuvo earlier in the year, and encouraged people to plunk down for the company's scan ... noting it could detect something you might not normally catch. The only problem, for some, is that it's pricey -- about $2,500 per scan.

Might not be something everyone can afford, but Kim sure sounds thankful she got it done.

Kim Zolciak is vehemently denying she cheated on Kroy Biermann, but in the process she may have helped them lift themselves a little out of their financial hole.

TMZ broke the story, Kroy went nuts last month after one of their kids called 911 to report a domestic disturbance between their parents. Among other things, Kroy was screaming at cops, complaining they had no money, no house and Kim was cheating on him.

She spoke with Celebuzz, where she said, 'The comments made in the body cam footage from Kroy who is obviously enraged are untrue," adding, "I vehemently deny any allegations that I have been unfaithful to Kroy at any point in our 12-year marriage. Any claim to the contrary is downright false, baseless and slanderous."

She accused Kroy of character assassination and suggested she might even take legal action.

Now the money part ... she urged fans to go to her Insta bio to read her statement, and that page is filled with ads, which means money in her/their pocket.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are back to their squabbling ways ... with things so toxic their marriage is now completely beyond repair ... so say sources close to them.

Our sources tell TMZ, the pair's latest falling out doesn't have anything to do with the newly released police body cam footage emerging of their explosive fight from Nov. 20 -- instead, it's over their continued money woes, their home, and the overall state of their marriage.

The pair appeared to have reconciled after the explosive incident at their home ... even enjoying a hibachi lunch date ... though, it didn't last long.

In fact, our sources say their close friends say no amount of therapy will fix things between them ... they just need to accept that and move on with their lives separately -- adding it's the healthiest thing that can happen for them and their kids.

One of their kids actually made the 911 call alerting cops to their infamous fight weeks at their home earlier ... and recently released footage showing police struggling to calm down a fuming Kroy.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están de vuelta con sus peleas, pero las cosas son tan tóxicas que su matrimonio ya es completamente irreparable, o eso dicen fuentes cercanas a ellos.

Nuestras fuentes dicen a TMZ que la última pelea de la pareja no tiene nada que ver con el reciente registro policial que se publicó y muestra su explosiva pelea del 20 de noviembre. Las discusiones son sobre sus continuos problemas de dinero, su casa y el estado general de su matrimonio.

La pareja parecía haberse reconciliado después del explosivo incidente en su casa, incluso disfrutando de un rico almuerzo hibachi. Sin embargo, la paz no duró mucho tiempo.

De hecho, nuestras fuentes dicen que sus amigos cercanos dicen que ninguna terapia puede arreglar las cosas entre ellos y solo tienen que aceptarlo y seguir adelante con sus vidas por separado, añadiendo que es lo más saludable para ellos y sus hijos.

Uno de sus hijos, de hecho, hizo la llamada al 911 para alertar a la policía de su fuerte pelea en casa, y recientemente imágenes que publicamos muestran cómo la policía intenta calmar a un Kroy evidentemente exaltado.

Santa Claus has kicked off his annual tour and is hitting Hollywood with style and clout! And apparently, Mr. Claus is quite the star himself, because the celebs were first in line and wanted in on the festive photo-op!

Looks like Sam Asghari made the "Nice" list, because Santa sat on HIS lap, while Hilary Duff showed what her Christmas "Dreams Are Made Of" ... with her whole fam cozying up to St. Nick.

Mr. Claus made his merry way to a spiffy Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt who brought their two adorable kiddos to meet and greet the man in the red suit ... Ho Ho Ho!

And what would Christmas be without Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney shmoozin' with Santa?! Now that's a slay!

¡Santa Claus ha comenzado su gira anual y está golpeando Hollywood con estilo! Y al parecer, el Sr. Claus es toda una estrella, porque las celebridades fueron los primeros en la fila para participar de una foto festiva.

Parece que Sam Asghari entró en la lista de los "simpáticos", porque Papá Noel se sentó en su regazo, mientras que Hilary Duff mostró de qué están hechos sus "sueños navideños", con toda su familia acurrucada junto a San Nicolás.

El Sr. Claus hizo muy felices a Heidi Montag y Spencer Pratt quienes trajeron a sus dos adorables hijos para conocer y saludar al Viejito Pascuero.

¿Y qué sería de la Navidad sin Glen Powell y Sydney Sweeney abrazando a Santa? ¡Vaya que se ven bien!

The winner of "Squid Game: The Challenge" is inching closer to finally seeing her $4.56M payday, but by the terms of her contract ... TMZ has learned she's still gotta play the waiting game.

Sources tell TMZ ... show champ Mai Whelan -- who recently said her winnings from the Netflix series have yet to hit her bank account -- signed a contract alongside all other contestants that stated the jackpot would be disbursed 30 days after the finale aired.

The finale aired December 6, so 30 days later would be Friday, January 5, 2024 -- so Mai won't get those millions until next year.

Basically, Mai knew all along she'd have to wait a while for the big bucks to roll in ... 'cause the contract she signed informed her about the payment plan.

When she revealed last week she still hadn't seen a dime ... everyone took it as her complaining -- but with the full context of her contract, it's more likely she was reminding producers the clock's ticking!

We're also told it's unclear if she'll receive the money as a lump sum or in increments.

Despite not receiving the dough, Mai -- who escaped Vietnam as a young girl during the communist regime -- has already splurged on some luxe items such as Jimmy Choo shoes and a Ralph Lauren dress.

La ganadora de "Squid Game: El Desafío" finalmente verá su pago de $4.56M, aunque ella todavía tiene que esperar un poco más.

Fuentes le dicen a TMZ que la campeona Mai Whelan  —quien recientemente dijo que las ganancias de la serie de Netflix aún no han entrado en su cuenta bancaria— firmó un contrato junto con todos los demás concursantes y declaró que el premio sería desembolsado 30 días después de la final emitida.

La final se emitió el 6 de diciembre, lo que significa que 30 días después es el viernes 5 de enero de 2024, por lo que Mai no verá sus millones hasta el próximo año.

Básicamente, Mai sabía todo el tiempo que tendría que esperar un tiempo para recibir el dinero.

Cuando afirmó la semana pasada que todavía no había visto un centavo, asumimos que ella no sabía cuánto tiempo le tomaría a Netflix transmitir la serie, con la cláusula final añadiéndole 30 días a la retención.

También nos dicen que no está claro si va a recibir el dinero como una suma global o en incrementos.

A pesar de no recibir el dinero, Mai, que escapó de Vietnam cuando era una niña durante el régimen comunista, ya ha derrochado en algunos artículos de lujo como zapatos de Jimmy Choo y un vestido de Ralph Lauren.

"Botched" star Dr. Terry Dubrow is over the moon about Oprah opening up about using weight-loss medication ... 'cause, in his eyes, it's a move that could save lives.

Dr. Dubrow joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live," singing Oprah's praises for admitting she's used meds as part of her weight loss journey ... and telling us the trend of shaming folks for using medication like Ozempic needs to stop.

He says celebs have been hesitant to be as honest as Oprah was ... often attributing their weight loss to working out or hormones, but in the doc's eyes, it's time they felt comfortable to speak candidly.

Dr. Dubrow thinks a really popular celeb, like O, opening up the discussion could start a trend -- or at least a discussion -- that leads to the general public warming to the use of these meds to combat obesity.

As he points out, we wouldn't shame people who take insulin for diabetes ... so doing so for someone who needs it to lose weight is equally ridiculous.

As we reported, Oprah lost 40 lbs this year and told PEOPLE the medicine she was prescribed was a healthier alternative for her -- this after she realized her struggles with weight loss were less about willpower and more about the brain.

La estrella de "Botched", el Dr. Terry Dubrow, está encantado con la honestidad de Oprah al decir que usa medicamentos para bajar de peso, ya que desde su perspectiva, se trata de una medida que podría salvar vidas.

El Dr. Dubrow se unió a nosotros el jueves en "TMZ Live", para elogiar a Oprah por admitir que ha usado medicamentos como parte de su viaje para perder peso y nos dice que la tendencia de avergonzar a la gente por usar remedios como Ozempic tiene que parar.

Él dice que las celebridades han sido reacias a ser tan sinceras como Oprah y a menudo atribuyen su pérdida de peso a las hormonas o al ejercicio, pero en los ojos del doctor, es hora de que se sientan cómodas de hablar con franqueza.

El Dr. Dubrow cree que una celebridad tan popular como Oprah Winfrey podría iniciar una tendencia -o al menos un debate- que lleve al público en general a abrirse al uso de estos medicamentos para combatir la obesidad.

Como señala, no avergonzaríamos a las personas que toman insulina para la diabetes, por lo que hacerlo para alguien que lo necesita para perder peso es igual de ridículo.

Como informamos, Oprah perdió 40 libras este año (unos 18 kilos) y le dijo a la gente que el medicamento que le habían recetado era una alternativa más saludable para ella. Esto, después de que se diera cuenta de que sus luchas con la pérdida de peso tenían menos que ver con la fuerza de voluntad y más con el cerebro.

A couple who appeared on the reality show "Below Deck" are now in some serious legal trouble ... after prosecutors claim they engaged in a prescription drug scheme involving using the names of cast members from the show.

Dr. Francis Martinis and his wife, Jessica -- who appeared as chartered guests on an episode of "Below Deck Mediterranean" and "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" -- were indicted in a Long Island court on Thursday, accused of using the names of the Bravo show's cast members to fill out prescriptions for opioids throughout Suffolk County.

According to the Suffolk County District Attorney, Francis and Jessica Martinis have been charged with 4 felony counts of criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance by a practitioner -- and 4 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Authorities say they were notified of the alleged scheme back in January ... after Jess allegedly attempted to fill a hand-written prescription for oxycodone at a Long Island pharmacy -- though her name was not the one on the prescription.

Prosecutors say instead of filling the prescription, the pharmacist called the police ... which then kickstarted an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

And now authorities say they discovered the Martinis electronically transmitted multiple prescriptions to pharmacies across Long Island ... under the name of different former BD cast members despite none living in the vicinity.

It's claimed that Jessica would pick up the prescriptions and pay for them with cash.

The DA blasted the couple ... saying in a statement that their alleged actions violated the oath they took at the start of their careers and the law.

Todd Chrisley alega que está siendo alimentado con comida infestada de animales, mientras pasa su tiempo detrás de las rejas.

En una declaración a TMZ, la Oficina Federal de Prisiones (FBOP), es inflexible respecto a que operan instalaciones seguras y limpias a pesar de las afirmaciones de Todd, acerca de que las ratas y las ardillas están sueltas en las instalaciones de almacenamiento de alimentos, añadiendo que la calidad de los alimentos consumidos por su población encarcelada es una prioridad.

También refutan las afirmaciones de Todd de que su comida está cargada de moho negro y fuera de fecha por lo menos un año, diciendo que los alimentos caducados se desechan y no se utiliza.

De hecho, trabajan bajo las regulaciones de la Oficina Federal de Prisiones, cuya misión de servicio de alimentos tiene como objetivo proporcionar comidas saludables, nutricionalmente sólidos y apetitosos que satisfagan las necesidades de cada individuo.

Instituciones FBOP, incluyendo FPC Pensacola, están acreditados por la Asociación Correccional Americana, que cubre la vida interior y otras regulaciones esenciales, tales como las condiciones ambientales como la temperatura y la calidad del aire.

Claramente no están emocionados, Todd está hablando acerca de las condiciones de prisión tras las rejas, instando a los reclusos a buscar una revisión formal a través de su Programa de Recursos Administrativos.

Además, la hija de Todd, Savannah, dijo recientemente que había sido objeto de represalias por hablar sobre las condiciones de encierro.

El abogado de Todd, Jay Surgent, le dijo a TMZ que su valentía en hablar sobre el estado de los alimentos y la prisión debería ser felicitado y no criticado.

Todd Chrisley is one hungry jailbird ... claiming he's being fed animal-infested meals while behind bars -- though his prison begs to differ.

In a statement to TMZ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is adamant they operate safe and humane facilities despite Todd's claims that rats/squirrels are on the loose in their food storage facility & a dead cat dropped from the ceiling onto their food -- adding the quality of food consumed by their incarcerated population is a priority.

The FBOP also refutes Todd's claims the food is laden with black mold and out of date by at least a year ... saying that expired food is discarded and not utilized.

In fact, they work under FBOP regulations, and tell us ... their food service mission aims to provide healthy, nutritionally sound, and appetizing meals that meet the needs of every individual.

FBOP institutions -- including FPC Pensacola, where Todd is incarcerated -- are accredited by the American Correctional Association, which covers indoor living and other essential regulations such as environmental conditions like temperature and air quality.

Clearly, they're not thrilled Todd is speaking out about prison conditions while behind bars ... and the FBOP says it urges inmates to instead seek a formal review through the prison's Administrative Remedy Program for any concerns.

To add insult to injury, Todd's daughter Savannah recently accused prison officials of retaliating against Todd for speaking out about lock-up conditions.

On that issue, Chrisley's lawyer Jay Surgent, says Todd's bravery in speaking out about the state of the prison should be congratulated, not criticized. The Bureau of Prisons said it thoroughly investigates all claims of employee misconduct.

Remember, Todd's wife Julie Chrisley is serving her time at FMC Lexington, where we haven't heard a peep from her about the grub.

Kroy Biermann estaba en un ataque de ira cuando la policía se presentó en su casa después de que las cosas se pudieran tan feas con Kim Zolciak, que uno de sus hijos llamó al 911 para pedir ayuda.

En las nuevas imágenes de la cámara policial obtenidas por TMZ, correspondientes al incidente del 20 de noviembre, Kroy le grita a los oficiales que su vida con Kim ha terminado. Los agentes intentan que Kroy se calme, pero él continúa.

En un momento dado, Kroy dice que Kim es una narcisista total y la acusa de fabricar su drama. El hombre está enfurecido, sigue gritando que la vida de la pareja ha terminado, incluso acusa a Kim de "coger con otros hombres". Finalmente, los oficiales calman a Kroy y lo llevan adentro para seguir hablando las cosas.

La llamada inicial al 911 provino de uno de los 4 niños pequeños de la pareja, quien informó que creía que Kroy había sido agresivo con Kim, pero ninguno de los padres parece darle ninguna validez a esa afirmación.

En cuanto a Kim, ella también está bastante histérica, sentada en su Range Rover mientras explica su versión de los hechos y alegando que Kroy explotó en un ataque de ira y se negó a dejarla salir de la casa. Ella dice que comenzó a caminar por la calle en bata y a pedirle ayuda a los vecinos antes de volver a casa.

Kim explica que más temprano ese día Kroy le había pedido que se sentaran y conversaran sobre su divorcio pendiente. Según Kim, Kroy no quiere seguir adelante con la demanda, a pesar de que fue él quien la presentó, y Kim sí quiere.

A través de sus sollozos, Kim afirma que Kroy no es el hombre con el que se casó y cree que es un enfermo mental, alegando que a veces tiene miedo de estar cerca de él.

Kroy Biermann was in a fit of rage when cops showed up after an explosive fight with Kim Zolciak ... where things got so bad, one of their kids called 911 to get some help.

In new police body cam footage -- obtained by TMZ from the incident on November 20 -- Kroy screams at officers his life with Kim is over. Officers try to get Kroy to calm down, but he continues on ... yelling about there being no money and no house.

At one point, Kroy calls Kim a total narcissist, and accuses her of manufacturing their drama. He's enraged, continuing to yell the couple's life is over ... and even accusing Kim of "f***ing other men." Eventually, officers calm Kroy down and get him inside to further talk things out.

The initial 911 call came in from one of the couple's 4 young kids who reported they believed Kroy had gotten physical with Kim ... but neither parent seems to give that claim any validity.

As for Kim, she's pretty hysterical as well ... sitting in her Range Rover as she explains her side of the story, claiming Kroy flew into a fit of rage and refused to let her leave the house. She says she began walking down the street in a robe and asking neighbors for help before returning back home.

Kim explains earlier in the day Kroy had asked her to sit and chat about their pending divorce. According to Kim, Kroy doesn't want to go forward with it -- even though he's the one who filed -- and Kim wants it to be finalized.

Through her sobbing, Kim claims Kroy's not the man she married, and believes he's mentally ill ... claiming she's scared at times to be around him.

Officers keep the two separated while talking things out, and just about as quickly as things escalated, they appear to cool off ... Kim agrees to leave the house for the night, and Kroy stays behind with the kids.
