Los Lakers de Los Ángeles recibieron el lunes por la noche la visita de un fan tan peludo y tan adorable que hasta los locutores del partido tuvieron que pararse a reconocerlo.

El hincha número 1 del Lake Show no era otro que Brodie The Goldendoodle, un perrito que ha ganado tanta notoriedad en los últimos años que ha conseguido un millón de seguidores en Instagram.

De alguna manera, el cachorro obtuvo uno de los mejores asientos para el juego de Los Ángeles contra los Knicks en el Crypto.com Arena, al puro estio Timothée Chalamet.

El perrito sin duda aprovechó el centro de atención en la cancha. Movió su cola tan duro durante una pausa, que llamó la atención de Mike Breen.

"Ese es Brodie", dijo Breen en vivo mientras el perro agitaba sus patas en el aire. "¡Nunca había visto algo así en más de 30 años de carrera!".

Brodie, por supuesto, está acostumbrado a ser el centro de atención... él y su dueño han viajado por todo el país juntos apareciendo en eventos deportivos esporádicamente.

El curioso fan ha sido una estrella durante los juegos de los Marlins y los Heats en el pasado y al parecer también es grande en Los Ángeles. Decimos esto porque apareció luciendo una camiseta de Austin Reaves durante la mayor parte del partido de los Lakers contra NY.

The L.A. Lakers got a visit Monday night from a fan that was so furry and so cute -- even the game's broadcasters just had to take a paws to stop and recognize him!!

The Lake Show's No. 1 K9 supporter was none other than Brodie The Goldendoodle -- a doggo who's gained so much notoriety over the past few years, he's garnered 1 million followers on Instagram.

Somehow, the pup scored one of the best seats in the house for L.A.'s contest against the Knicks at Crypto.com Arena -- snagging a chair that was actually so good, it might have been better than Timothée Chalamet's.

And, the ball of fuzz certainly took advantage of the center-court spotlight ... dancing his tail off so hard during a break in the action, he actually caught the attention of ESPN play-by-play man Mike Breen.

"That's Brodie," Breen said on live television as the dog waved its legs in the air. "I've never seen this in 30-plus years!!"

Brodie, of course, is used to the limelight by now ... the 3-year-old's owner and he have trekked all over the country together while hitting sporting events sporadically.

In fact, he's been a star at Marlins games and Heats games in the past -- though apparently he's big into L.A. too ... 'cause he rocked an Austin Reaves shirt for most of the Lakers' contest vs. NY.

But, Monday did have a bit of a ruff ending for Brodie ... as LeBron James and co. couldn't get him a win, falling to the Knicks, 114-109.

It's the most wonderful time of the year ... yep, it's time for furry hats on super hot babes!!!

Celebrities are bundling up this winter, managing to keep warm and still look their best. The secret is in their headwear, especially when the weather dips below freezing.

Kendall Jenner, Alix Earle, Tana Mongeau and Emily Ratajkowski are among the beautiful women rocking fuzzy hats out in the snow for the holiday season ... with the perfect accessories for the chilly environments.

Not to be outdone by the big-name celebs, model Sarah Snyder is coming for the crown ... and the crown is a fuzzy white bucket hat.

Hey, if you're gonna wear a bikini in the snow, ya better have something warm up top too.

"Riverdale" star Madelaine Petsch is also proving furry hats are still sexy without showing tons of skin ... not that we're complaining either way.

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.

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.

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.

Anita Baker's latest live performance is catching a little heat after she apparently got testy with the audience out in Texas -- parts of which were captured on video.

The legendary crooner was doing a show in Houston's Toyota Center Friday night and playing to a pretty solid-sized audience ... but at certain points during the gig, AB appears to have gotten into it a bit with some folks down in the front row.

There are 2 videos, in particular, that are circulating online right now -- one shows Anita telling some people right below her near the stage to stop recording ... in the middle of a song.

There's another moment where Anita could be seen/heard asking for security to boot folks.

Overall, this seems to have left a bad taste in people's mouths -- with some online complaining that Anita was more concerned with arguing with a select few ticket-buyers than doing the best job she could onstage. Others claimed she seemed to miss some lyrics ... and alleged her performance, overall, was relatively short-lived and somewhat sloppy.

Now, there's a good handful of people defending Anita ... saying the folks in the front row were, in fact, acting up and testing AB. Others said the performance, at large, was great.

Of course, the larger backdrop to this is the Babyface feud she was in earlier this year while on the road -- during which she got into it with both him and his fans in the Twitter-sphere.

Cam'ron slid into Nia Long's DMs over a year ago trying to holler, and it looks like he finally got his shot this weekend -- 'cause they linked up at a big shindig ... and took pics!

The rapper-turned-podcaster/TV host has been documenting this saga for a while -- way back in October 2022, he posted screenshots of some messages he sent Nia on IG ... this not too long after her messy split with Ime Udoka and that whole Celtics drama.

Anyway, it was a lengthy shot across the bow, where he's singing her praises ... and eventually just comes out with it and says he thinks they'd make a great couple together.

Apparently, NL never responded to that DM -- something Cam'ron made sure to tell his followers a couple weeks ago -- but now, some 14 months after the fact ... they finally got a chance to meet at Rich Paul's birthday party in L.A., where they hugged, talked and posed.

Here's the thing ... Nia actually posted this photo of the two of them cheesing first, but then took it down from her page -- but Cam'ron most certainly kept his version up, and added some extra ones to boot ... probably just to prove to everyone he had, in fact, seen her.

No word on whether this might lead to anything romantic, or if it's just a friendly hi-bye.

We actually got Nia out somewhat recently and asked her about this whole thing, and all she had to say to us (and to Cam, we suppose) was ... oh, hi there! Sounds like he got his in-person hello too.

Lord knows she's one of the most eligible bachelorettes in town these days -- aging like fine wine -- and has been one of Hollywood's most-coveted dames for a good long while.

Jeezy seemed to have his moment a month ago ... maybe now it's Cam's time to shine.

Another shake-up on "Jeopardy!" ... Mayim Bialik says she is being removed as host.

Mayim just announced the change, explaining ... "Sony has informed me I am no longer hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!"

She adds ... "I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family."

Mayim started hosting the quiz show back in August 2021 as one of the replacements for longtime host Alex Trebek.

Ken Jennings has also been hosting "Jeopardy!" and "Celebrity Jeopardy!" since 2021 ... so it seems he will be picking up the slack.

Recently, Ken had been doing most of the hosting and Mayim was primarily hosting the prime time shows and specials.

When Alex died in November 2020 there was a ton of drama as Sony searched for a new host ... including the whole Mike Richards fiasco.

Britney Spears está disparando contra Justin Timberlake y lo que ella considera su falta de habilidades en el baloncesto, afirmando que era un mal perdedor cuando ella lo derribaba en la cancha.

La estrella del pop usó su Instagram el viernes para molestar un poco al cantante de "Suit & Tie". Sin dar nombres, dijo: "Nunca mencioné cómo le gané en el baloncesto 🏀 y él lloraba... sin faltar el respeto 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ !!!"

La frase de Britney no es una coincidencia. Como recordarán, Justin abordó la controversia que lo rodea a partir del libro de memorias de Britney, "The Woman In Me", durante su actuación en Las Vegas el miércoles por la noche.

Justo antes de cantar "Cry Me a River" Justin miró a la multitud y dijo: "Sin faltar el respeto", y la canción había sido criticada por Britney por estar relacionada a su fallida relación. Se piensa que Justin la escribió después de descubrir que Britney lo engañaba.

Así que sí, Brit hablando de Justin llorando después de perder un juego, dos días después de que él interpretara "Cry Me a River". El enigma está prácticamente escrito en la pared.

Britney Spears is firing a shot at Justin Timberlake and what she considers his lack of basketball skills, claiming he was a sore loser when she'd take him down on the court.

The pop star took to Instagram Friday to throw some shade at the "Suit & Tie" singer ... without naming names, she writes, "I never mentioned how I beat him in basketball 🏀 and he would cry … no disrespect 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ !!!"

Britney's phrasing is no coincidence ... you'll recall, Justin addressed the controversy surrounding him and Britney's memoir, "The Woman In Me," during his performance in Las Vegas Wednesday night.

Right before singing, "Cry Me a River," JT looked to the crowd and said, "No disrespect" ... and the song was one Britney slammed for the connection to their broken relationship. It was alleged Justin wrote it after he had caught Britney cheating.

So yea ... Brit talking about Justin crying after losing a game, two days after Justin performed "Cry Me a River" -- the writing's practically on the wall.

Cardi B is unloading on Offset in an emotionally charged video rant amid their nasty split ... calling him out and accusing him of treating her badly.

It's the first time we've seen Cardi get this emotional since she announced she ended things with her estranged husband ... she says he's ungrateful and she's tired of his behavior.

Cardi's pain is coming through clearly here ... it's evident in her voice, as she says she's done a lot for Offset over the years, only for him to play games with her when she's at her most vulnerable. She's also taking shots at him with social media posts.

As we reported ... Cardi announced she was single earlier this month after they both unfollowed each other on social media, revealing they had been broken up for a while before she went public.

There's been plenty of drama and cheating rumors between Cardi and Offset over the years ... but they've split and gotten back together before, and now they have two kids together.

Cardi says she's helped Offset out for years without so much as a "thank you" from him ... and it sounds like he wasn't taking their issues seriously leading up to and after the split, at least from her perspective.

Cardi B se está descargando contra Offset en un video muy emocional en medio de su desagradable separación, y lo está acusando de tratarla mal.

Esta es la primera vez que vemos a Cardi así de emotiva desde que anunció que terminó con su marido. Dice que él es un desagradecido y está cansada de su comportamiento.

La pena de Cardi es evidente aquí, se nota en su voz y cuando dice que ha hecho mucho por Offset a lo largo de los años para que él juegue con ella cuando está en su momento más vulnerable. También lo está apuntando con algunos mensajes en las redes sociales.

Como hemos informado, Cardi anunció que estaba soltera a principios de este mes después de que ambos se dejaran de seguir en las redes sociales, revelando que habían estado separados por un tiempo antes de que ella lo hiciera público.

Ha habido mucho drama y rumores de engaño entre Cardi y Offset a lo largo de los años. Pero se han separado y han vuelto a estar juntos antes, y ahora tienen dos hijos.

Cardi dice que ha ayudado por años a Offset sin mucho más de vuelta que un "gracias" de él, y parece que él no se estaba tomando en serio sus problemas antes y después de la separación, al menos desde su perspectiva.

Suge Knight says he's got nothing to do with the recent string of social media posts drumming up Tupac conspiracy theories and old beefs with Snoop Dogg and Diddy … because he has no access to those accounts.

Suge tells TMZ Hip Hop ... someone is out to destroy his reputation by hacking into his Twitter and FB accounts. He says the hacker is attempting to come off as the real deal by posting clips from Suge's “Collect Call” podcast and old photos.

The incarcerated music mogul says he has no issues standing on anything he's ever said, on the podcast or otherwise, but he can't condone the activity on the social accounts ... which created Daz Dillinger's current rift with Snoop.

Suge's currently serving a 28-year prison sentence and tells us the errant posts have caused him a ton of unnecessary stress -- and he wants Twitter and FB to boot the hacker.

He's adamant he wouldn't invite such negative energy to his situation, and says his only official account is his Instagram page.

After a ton of speculation, Shohei Ohtani is finally spilling the beans on what he named his dog ... and as it turns out, it has nothing to do with his new team, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

His name is Decoy!!

The 29-year-old Japanese superstar met with the media as a Dodger for the very first time just minutes ago ... where he talked all about topics like his decision to take his talents to L.A., winning aspirations and recent surgery.

But the one question everyone wanted the answer to -- what the heck is your dog's name, dude?!?!

Of course, the phenomenon started after Ohtani accepted his 2023 MVP award ... when reporters claimed Shotime's team refused to disclose any information about the four-legged friend who made an appearance with him in a video interview.

The secrecy led to a bunch of rumors -- and some even claimed it was because Ohtani chose a namesake related to his next destination.

But the two-way athlete put an end to all that talk on Thusday ... saying he decided on Decoy -- or the Japanese version, Dekopin.

As for when he knew he would be a Dodger, Shohei said he came to the decision the night before he announced his next move on Instagram.
