Kanye West is reportedly working behind the scenes to lock down trademark rights to "YEWS," a phrase he wants to slap on just about everything .. from streaming to restaurants.

The filing, obtained by TMZ, and first submitted earlier this month is linked to an LLC called Ox Paha Inc. We've never known Kanye to be associated with that LLC, but it has an address listed to Kanye's office on Melrose Ave.

Unclear if there's anything Kanye wants to do specifically with the word -- if he's the guy who filed for it -- but he's taking just about every realm of possibility with it.

The docs want to use "YEWS" for financial services, real estate, clothing (footwear, headwear, jeans, etc.), music and audio, entertainment content, beauty products, restaurants and so much more.

Of course, while Kanye hasn't publicly said anything about the word "YEWS" -- people are already speculating it's got some sort of connection to "Jews" and the controversy surrounding Kanye.

Se dice que Kanye West está trabajando tras bambalinas para conseguir los derechos de la marca "YEWS", una frase que quiere poner en casi todo, desde streaming hasta restaurantes.

La presentación, obtenida por TMZ y presentada por primera vez a principios de este mes, está vinculada a una LLC (un tipo de sociedad) llamada Ox Paha Inc. No sabíamos que Kanye estaba asociado con esa LLC, pero esta tiene una dirección que corresponde a la oficina de Kanye en Melrose Ave.

Aún no está claro si Kanye quiere hacer algo en particular con la palabra -si es que él la presentó- pero está considerando casi todas las posibilidades con ella.

Los documentos muestran que quiere utilizar "YEWS" para servicios financieros, bienes raíces, ropa (calzado, sombreros, pantalones, jeans, etc.), música y audio, contenido de entretenimiento, productos de belleza, restaurantes y mucho más.

Por supuesto, aunque Kanye no ha dicho nada públicamente, la gente ya está especulando que esta tiene alguna conexión con los "judíos" y la polémica que rodea a Kanye.

Krayzie Bone says he spent 9 days fighting for his life in a hospital ... literally.

The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper just posted a picture from his hospital bed on social media, and he's thanking God for being alive.

Krayzie says ... "Just fought for life Literally for 9 days straight. And I only won the battle this time because I know Jehovah God was with every step of the way fighting for me."

As we reported ... Krayzie needed at least two surgeries to address internal bleeding, which he now says was threatening his life.

KB was hospitalized last month after he started coughing up blood ... so doctors ran some tests and discovered a bleeding artery in one of his lungs ... and he twice went under the knife.

When Krayzie was in the hospital, tons of celebs and sports figures wished him the best ... and he says he's thankful for all the prayers.

Kanye West is cooking up more than nude bodysuits for his wife -- he's also hard at work on his next solo project, one that might put his popularity to a major test.

Sources connected to the production tell TMZ Hip Hop, Ye is in a "truly great headspace" and has been cranking out songs at a rapid pace ... completing nearly 10 tracks this week alone.

It's been more than 2 years since Ye released a project, the last being 2021's "Donda," and we're hearing the music and themes will be closer to the "old Kanye" sound ... with less political theatrics than some of his recent endeavors.

We're told Ye's frequent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign has also been on hand in the studio, so it's also possible they create a joint album in addition to his solo endeavor.

Fans have been fiendin' for new music from Kanye for some time, which would explain Tuesday's frenzy over a leak of Ye's Dr. Dre collab album "Jesus Is King 2."

The excitement for that surprise drop might bode well for Ye's ability to bounce back from controversy ... again.

He's been silent, publicly, since last year's antisemitic rants that cost him several business partnerships, and his billionaire status -- so, it will be interesting to see how the public responds to a musical comeback.

We're told there's no imminent release date for Ye's new tunes, and he's taking his time with the album in order to mirror the quality his reputation used to hold.

Has Kanye West permanently ruined his legacy? Vote below.

Kanye West ha estado tramando algo más que atuendos semi desnudos para su esposa. Nos enteramos que también está trabajando duro en su próximo proyecto en solitario, el que podría ser una importante prueba para testear su popularidad.

Fuentes conectadas con la producción dicen a TMZ Hip Hop, que Ye está "con una mentalidad muy positiva" y componiendo canciones a un ritmo rápido. Solo esta semana ha completado casi 10 pistas.

Han pasado más de 2 años desde que Ye lanzó su último proyecto, "Donda" de 2021, y nos cuentan que la música y los temas que vienen estarían más cerca del sonido del "viejo Kanye", con menos teatralidad política que algunos de sus esfuerzos recientes.

Nos dicen que el colaborador frecuente de Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, también ha estado en el estudio, por lo que es posible que creen un álbum, además de su esfuerzo en solitario.

Los fans han estado deseando nueva música de Kanye desde hace algún tiempo, lo que explicaría el frenesí del martes por una filtración del álbum de colaboración de Ye con Dr. Dre, "Jesus Is King 2".

El entusiasmo por esa sorpresa podría ser un buen augurio para la capacidad de Ye de recuperarse de la controversia, nuevamente.

Él ha estado en silencio desde que el año despotricara comentarios antisemitas que le costaron varias asociaciones de negocios, y su condición de multimillonario, por lo que será interesante ver cómo responde el público a un regreso musical.

Doja Cat's been dodging devil-worshipping accusations for months, but has finally faced her holiest critics head-on through the music of her new album "Scarlett."

The LP hit DSPs on Friday, with Doja on the defensive end of several tracks and getting cheeky on others ... like on the "F*** the Girls (FTG)" track when she blurts, "Said suck my d***, c***, t***, I'm yellin' 666."

Doja's moment of clarity arrives in the middle of the album on the track "Skull and Bones" ... a profound statement that she's not the Mistress of Darkness like so many suspected.

On the track's 2nd verse Doja raps, "Y'all been pushing 'Satan this; and 'Satan that' My fans is yellin', "Least she rich," you need that pact/Looking like I got some things you hate I have And trust me, baby, God don't play with hate like that" ... and also mentions fan speculation over her recent string of tattoos.

Doja surfaced with a mangly-looking bat on her back in May, which followed a tat of a mythical monster many deemed demonic, but she was clear to give God the cred for her recent chart-topping success on the track.

Doja was the rapper responsible for ending hip hop's year-long drought atop the Billboard 100 with her song "Paint the Town Red" ... a moment of elation shared by Dionne Warwick ... who we suspect wouldn't associate herself with anything dipped in evil.

The Dallas Cowboys' blistering start to the season just hit its first major roadblock ... the team's best cornerback, Trevon Diggs, tore his ACL on Thursday -- almost certainly ending his 2023 season.

According to multiple reports, Diggs suffered the serious knee injury during 1-on-1 drills at Cowboys practice ... and was seen on crutches afterward.

Several minutes later ... he took an MRI, and the results reportedly revealed the torn ligament.

Diggs had been playing at an All-Pro level for the 'Boys in their first two games of the year ... recording an interception, a forced fumble and four tackles. He was a big reason the 2-0 team had allowed just 10 points through eight quarters.

The Cowboys have yet to publicly comment on Diggs' injury ... although quarterback Dak Prescott asked for prayers for the defensive back while he was undergoing testing on the knee.

"Hoping for the best," Dak told reporters. "Simple as that."

Rep. Lauren Boebert isn't holy anymore in the eyes of an organization focused on conservative youths -- 'cause she's been booted from their official speakers list.

The Colorado congresswoman was initially part of the guest lineup that was set to appear and speak later this month at the Texas Youth Summit just outside of Houston -- where people between the ages of 12 and 26 are invited to lean into their right-wing views.

Boebert was supposed to appear alongside Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Charlie Kirk and others. Now, however, it appears there's been a change of plans ... 'cause she's been scrubbed from all the marketing material that originally featured her -- pre-groping video going public.

There's been no official explanation from the org itself on why they nixed her -- but it seems pretty obvious after Boebert was found to be in a mutual fondling sesh last week.

What's also interesting is how they described when they first booked/publicized her gig with them. They said RLB was a "devout Christian who seeks to honor God in all that she does."

In light of everything that's come out since, though ... maybe not as godly as they thought.

Rep. Boebert has since apologized for the whole thing -- saying it was an error of judgment on her end, on pretty much all fronts. Congress hasn't formally reprimanded her just yet.

Cover your eyes, children!

La congresista Lauren Boebert ya no es santa a los ojos de una organización centrada en los jóvenes conservadores, ya que ha sido expulsada de su lista oficial de oradores.

La congresista de Colorado formaba parte inicialmente de la lista de invitados que iban a aparecer y hablar a finales de este mes en la Cumbre Juvenil de Texas a las afueras de Houston, donde se invita a personas de entre 12 y 26 años a inclinarse por sus puntos de vista de derechas.

Se suponía que Boebert iba a aparecer junto a Donald Trump Jr, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Charlie Kirk y otros. Sin embargo, ha habido un cambio de planes, porque ella ha sido borrada de todo el material de marketing que originalmente la presentaba antes de que se hiciera público el vídeo del manoseo.

La propia organización no ha dado ninguna explicación oficial sobre por qué la han eliminado pero parece bastante obvio después de que se descubriera a Boebert acariciándose mutuamente la semana pasada.

Lo que también es interesante es cómo describieron la primera vez que la contrataron y le dieron publicidad. Dijeron que RLB era una "devota cristiana que busca honrar a Dios en todo lo que hace".

Parece que se olvidaron los mandamientos por un momento.

Desde entonces, la diputada Boebert se ha disculpado por todo el asunto, diciendo que fue un error de juicio por su parte, en casi todos los frentes. El Congreso aún no la ha reprendido formalmente.

Several dozen cardiac arrest survivors are recalling eerily similar and bizarre experiences while dying -- and an author, who herself clinically died, is revealing her own encounter with the other side.

Author Mary Curran Hackett joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," recalling 1 of many cardiac arrests she says she's suffered over the years ... this one in 2004, when she flatlined in a hospital, and had a literal out-of-body experience.

During the ordeal, Mary says she felt calm while essentially being tapped into everything happening around her body -- from feeling the anxiety rising in her nurses' blood pressure, to seeing doctors leave another room in the hospital to come to hers.

According to Mary, she was fully aware during the minutes that her heart stopped but was seeing everything from a new perspective ... adding she felt at peace before being sucked back into her body.

Mary believes there are loads of unanswered questions about this fascinating and terrifying moment in people's lives, which is why she's working with Dr. Sam Parnia on his study of cardiac arrest survivors.

Sylvester Stallone is just like one of The Beatles ... at least, when in Rome, because he was completely bombarded by a sea of fans while on a trip with his family.

The "Rocky" star was met with hundreds of folks while spending time overseas. The actor was visiting with his wife, Jennifer Flavin, and their 3 daughters -- and the whole fam got a security detail that was workin' hard to keep them safe.

Sly's fiasco is a sight ya rarely see these days ... so the crazy scene is one we're sure his whole family won't soon forget.

As we reported, Sylvester was touring Vatican City last week when he got the opportunity to meet Pope Francis -- someone who ended up being a big fan of Sly's work!

The 2 even did a bit of shadowboxing together during their brief exchange ... clearly a pretty awesome moment for both of them.

Sylvester Stallone es como uno de Los Beatles, al menos cuando está en Roma, pues el actor fue bombardeado por un mar de fans mientras estaba de viaje con su familia.

La estrella de "Rocky" fue recibido por cientos de personas mientras pasaba un tiempo en el extranjero. El actor estaba con su esposa, Jennifer Flavin, y sus 3 hijas, y toda la familia contaba con seguridad, prueba de que estaba trabajando duro para mantenerlas a salvo.

El espectáculo de Sly no se ve muy seguido por estos días, por lo que de seguro él y su familia no lo olvidarán en un buen tiempo.

Como ya informamos, Sylvester estaba de gira por la Ciudad del Vaticano la semana pasada cuando tuvo la oportunidad de conocer al Papa Francisco, quien terminó siendo un gran fan del trabajo de Sly.

Los dos incluso hicieron un poco de shadowboxing juntos durante su breve intercambio, claramente un momento bastante impresionante para ambos.

Gillie Da Kid says the moment he washed his late son's body -- in tradition with Islamic faith -- was his lowest moment in life, but he also says enduring the tragedy officially took him to adulthood.

The "Million Dollarz Worth of Game" co-host made the emotional confession Tuesday while appearing on The Pivot podcast.

His son, 25-year-old rapper YNG Cheese, was shot and killed in Philly back in July. Before his death, Gillie says he thought he understood the concept of being a man ... taking the reigns, providing for his immediate family and even supporting several non-relatives.

But, he says going through the body-washing process opened his eyes, "and that day, I became a man."

Gillie also tearfully thanked fellow Philly rapper Freeway for standing by his side, and helping him through what he calls the hardest thing he's ever had to do. Despite the unimaginable grief, he's confident he sent his son off the right way.

Sylvester Stallone met one of his biggest fans during a family trip to the Vatican ... the Pope!!!

The 'Rocky' star spent his Friday touring Vatican City, and was actually granted an audience with Pope Francis, who went full fanboy ... telling Sly it's an honor to meet him because he grew up watching the actor's movies.

The video of their interaction is awesome -- Sly was bold enough to shadowbox the Pope, who even threw a few left hooks himself. Seriously, it's almost like the Pope is more thrilled about the meeting than Stallone.

The whole thing was a family affair ... Sly also introduced the Pope to his wife, Jennifer Flavin, and their three daughters, Sophia, Scarlet and Sistine. You'd think the pontiff might have been impressed by Sistine's name, but was more focused on the movie star of his younger years.

Sly went to the Vatican last September too, when he got to hold the keys that open every door in Vatican City, including the Sistine Chapel, and this time he got to meet His Holiness.

5:32 PM PT -- Danny Masterson suena confiado de que conseguirá la anulación de sus sentencias en el proceso de apelación.

Uno de los abogados de Danny, Shawn Holley, dice a TMZ: "Durante los últimos meses, un equipo de los mejores abogados en apelación del país ha estado revisando las transcripciones del juicio, y han identificado importantes cuestiones probatorias y constitucionales que abordarán en los tribunales de apelación estatales y federales."

Holley continúa: "Los errores que se produjeron en este caso son sustanciales y, lamentablemente, condujeron a veredictos que no están respaldados por las pruebas".

"Y aunque tenemos un gran respeto por el jurado en este caso y por nuestro sistema de justicia en general, a veces se equivocan. Y eso es lo que ocurrió aquí", agrega.

El abogado concluye: "El Sr. Masterson no cometió los delitos por los que ha sido condenado y nosotros, y los abogados de apelación, los mejores y más brillantes del país, estamos seguros de que estas condenas serán anuladas."

Danny Masterson finalmente ha recibido su condena a 30 años en prisión, después de meses de ser declarado culpable de dos cargos de violación.

La estrella de "That '70s Show" fue sentenciado el jueves por un tribunal de Los Ángeles. Enfrentaba 30 años de cárcel después de ser declarado culpable de dos de sus tres cargos, por lo que la sentencia no es tan sorprendente.

Como informamos, fue declarado culpable de estos dos cargos en mayo. Se le acusó por primera vez en 2020, cuando tres mujeres declararon que los incidentes se habían producido entre 2001 y 2003, mientras él trabajaba en la serie de comedia.

Recordemos que Masterson tuvo un juicio en octubre pasado, pero terminó nulo un mes más tarde después de que el jurado no pudiera llegar a una decisión. El equipo del actor intentó que se desestimara, pero finalmente fue juzgado de nuevo y condenado.

Su abogado, Philip Cohen, nos dijo tras la anulación del juicio de Masterson que el caso "no trataba de otra cosa más que de la credibilidad de las tres denunciantes y que la credibilidad sólo se podía determinar comparando, contrastando y centrándose en las declaraciones en constante evolución de las mujeres."

Danny Masterson has finally been sentenced, months after he was convicted on 2 rape counts, to 30 years to life behind bars.

The "That '70s Show" star was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in a Los Angeles court. He was facing 30 years to life after being found guilty on 2 of his 3 counts ... so the sentence isn't all that surprising.

As we reported, he was convicted on the 2 counts in May, but the jury was hung on the 3rd count. He was first charged back in 2020, with the 3 women saying the incidents went down between 2001 and 2003 -- as he was working on his comedy series.

Remember, Masterson had a trial last October, but it ended in a mistrial a month later after the jury was unable to reach a decision. The actor's team tried to get it dismissed, but he was eventually retried and convicted.

His attorney, Philip Cohen, told us after Masterson's mistrial that the case was "about nothing other than the credibility of the three accusers and that credibility could only be determined by comparing, contrasting and focusing on the ever-evolving statements given by the women."

After being found guilty, we learned Masterson wasn't put in lockup with the general population at the L.A. County Men's Central Jail -- where he's been awaiting his sentence -- but instead was in "administrative segregation" ... where high-profile inmates like O.J. Simpson and Suge Knight have stayed in the past.
