SOFIA VERGARA 'MY BOOBS & BODY MADE ME FAMOUS!' ... Sorry, Not Sorry!!

Published | Updated

Sofia Vergara ain't apologizing for being hot ... saying it's absurd to think her giant breasts and amazing figure weren't the reason behind her fame.

The actress says her looks were her passport to the world as a young model at 20 ... telling Spanish newspaper El País feeling bad about the hand that fed her won't cut it -- especially cause she's still a massive name decades later at 51.

Sofia says she learned to play to her strengths early on ... after realizing boys started giving her attention and treating her differently.

Though, she says if you're only fixating on her boobs, then that's a you problem ... cause her bubbly personality is behind her longevity in the entertainment business.

Sofia says she's not performing brain surgery ... so the worst someone can do is say she looks ugly and can't act -- which she can stomach and continue moving things along.

She's aware there are women who are younger, prettier, have bigger breasts, and a better figure than her now ... but she ain't sweating it cause she's demonstrated her staying power -- especially with the career risks she takes.

Netflix's upcoming series "Griselda" is one such risk ... the usually glam Sofia morphs into the gritty titular lead -- a real-life story based on the leader of one of the most profitable drug cartels in history.

The shift to such a dramatic role comes on the heels of the huge shift in Sofia's personal life -- she split from Joe Manganiello after 7 years of marriage last year over their differences in wanting kids ... he does, she doesn't.

"Griselda" is already getting early critical acclaim, so it's true what Sofia says ... she ain't solely banking on those good looks anymore; it's her talent that shines.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Sofía Vergara Mis tetas y mi cuerpo me hicieron famosa... Sorry, not sorry

Published | Updated

Sofía Vergara no se disculpa por ser sexy y está diciendo que es absurdo pensar que sus grandes pechos y su increíble figura no fueron la razón detrás de su fama.

La actriz dice que su aspecto era su pasaporte de entrada al mundo a los 20 como joven modelo y le dijo al diario español El País que sentirse mal por la mano que le dio de comer no tiene sentido, pues sigue siendo un gran nombre, incluso a los 51 años.

Sofía dice que aprendió a jugar con sus puntos fuertes desde el principio, después de darse cuenta de que los chicos comenzaron a prestarle atención y tratarla de manera diferente.

Ahora, dice que si solo se fijan en sus tetas es un problema porque su personalidad burbujeante es la está detrás de su longevidad en el negocio del entretenimiento.

Sofia dice que ella no está practicando cirugía cerebral, así que lo peor que alguien puede decirle es que se ve fea y no puede actuar, cosa que ella puede soportar y seguir adelante.

Es consciente también de que hay mujeres que son más jóvenes y bonitas, que tienen pechos más grandes y una mejor figura que ella, pero no está sudando por ello, pues ha demostrado su poder de permanencia, especialmente con los riesgos que toma en su carrera.

La próxima serie de Netflix "Griselda" es uno de esos riesgos. La glamurosa Sofía se transforma en la protagonista, una historia basada en la vida real de la líder de uno de los cárteles de droga más rentables de la historia.

El cambio a un papel tan dramático llega justo después del gran cambio en su vida personal. Después de 7 años de matrimonio, Sofía se separó de Joe Manganiello el año pasado por sus diferencias sobre querer tener hijos. Él quería y ella no.

"Griselda" ya ha sido aclamada por la crítica, así que es verdad lo que dice Sofía, ya no se trata solo de su belleza; es su talento el que brilla.

Demandan a Kim Delaney por atropellar a un motorista

Published | Updated

Kim Delaney está siendo llevada a tribunales en dos frentes diferentes sobre un accidente que se alega que ha causado hace casi dos años... y está acusada de huir TMZ ha indagado.

La actriz de "NYPD Blue" está siendo demandada por un hombre llamado Dzhamal Badalov, quien acaba de presentar documentos legales -obtenidos por TMZ- alegando que Kim chocó contra su motocicleta mientras estaba parado en un semáforo en rojo en noviembre de 2022, esto después de que él dijera que ella estaba conduciendo erráticamente por Venice Boulevard en Los Ángeles.

Badalov afirma que los testigos vieron a Kim desviarse dentro y fuera de los carriles y manejando de forma errática antes de chocar contra él, lo cual terminó sacándolo de la carretera. Afirma que Kim trató de conducir lejos después del accidente, pero fue detenida por los transeúntes.

Finalmente, Badalov afirma que Kim salió del carro y llamó a alguien con su teléfono. Él alega que ella parecía completamente desorientada, lo que sugiere que estaba intoxicada. Badalov alega que la persona con la que ella estaba hablando al otro lado intentó pagarle para que lo dejara las cosas así y no llamara a la policía... pero Badalov dice que se negó a hacerlo.

En la demanda, se pasa a alegar Kim fue instruida por la persona en el teléfono para huir. Ahora, él la está demandando por el accidente y quiere daños y perjuicios.

Hicimos algunas investigaciones por nuestra cuenta y encontramos un caso criminal en Los Ángeles, de hecho, se ha abierto contra Kim y ella ha sido acusada de atropello y fuga. Las reclamaciones formuladas contra Kim en un informe de la policía de esa noche -obtenido por TMZ- esencialmente se hacen eco de lo que se alega en la demanda. Ella debe presentarse en la corte la próxima semana.

Hemos llegado a Kim para hacer comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

Kim Delaney Sued Over Alleged Hit & Run ... Accused of Fleeing Scene

Published

Kim Delaney is being taken to court on two different fronts over an accident she's alleged to have caused almost two years ago -- one she's being accused of fleeing ... TMZ has learned.

The 'NYPD Blue' actress is being sued by a man named Dzhamal Badalov, who just filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- alleging Kim rammed into his motorcycle while he was stopped at a red light back in Nov. 2022 ... this after he says she was driving erratically down Venice Boulevard in L.A.

Badalov claims witnesses saw Kim swerving in and out and lanes and driving erratically before she crashed into him -- which he alleges sent him flying into the road. He claims Kim tried driving away after the accident, but was initially stopped by bystanders.

Eventually, Badalov claims Kim got out of the car and called someone on her phone. He alleges she appeared completely out of and disoriented -- suggesting she was intoxicated. Badalov alleges that the person she was talking to on the other end attempted to pay him off to just let it go and not call the cops ... but Badalov says he refused to do so.

In the suit, he goes on to allege Kim was then instructed by the person on the phone to flee -- which he claims she then did. Now, he's suing her over the accident ... and wants damages.

Here's the other element to this ... we did some digging and found that a criminal case in L.A. has, in fact, been opened against Kim -- and she's been charged with hit and run. The claims made against Kim in a police report from that night -- obtained by TMZ -- essentially echo what's alleged in the lawsuit. She's due in court next week.

La familia de Sonya Eddy lucha por conseguir su Emmy póstumo

Se avecina una batalla por el Emmy póstumo de la estrella de telenovelas Sonya Eddy, y su familia distanciada está decidida a quitarle el trofeo a su amiga y socia productora.

Así es la cosa, Sonya murió a finales de 2022 y ganó un Emmy la semana pasada por su trabajo en "Hospital General", con su socio productor y amigo Tyler Ford aceptando el premio en su nombre.

Ahora, los miembros de la familia de Sonya quieren el premio en su poder y están enojados porque no se les ofreció recibirlo en primer lugar.

El hermano menor de Sonya, Robbie Eddy, le dice a TMZ que la Academia de Televisión no le dijo a su familia que iba a ganar un Emmy de antemano, y Tyler les ha dicho que va a mantener su trofeo.

Nos dicen que toda la familia de Sonya está ahora trabajando para conseguir el Emmy y le enviaron una carta a la Academia de Televisión.

Mientras la familia de Sonya espera una respuesta de la Academia, nos dicen que sienten que todo esto es una bofetada en la cara y que todavía están de duelo, y esta disputa está haciendo que el proceso sea más difícil. Además, los Emmys se celebraron unas semanas después del primer aniversario de su muerte.

El hermano de Sonya dice que la familia no tiene planes de emprender ningún tipo de acción legal contra Tyler o la Academia, no quieren manchar su memoria con una demanda, solo esperan que Tyler haga "lo correcto" y entregue su Emmy.

Si los Eddys consiguen el trofeo, nos dicen que la madre de 84 años de Sonya se quedará con el premio, la familia dice que mamá patrocinó la carrera de Sonya en Hollywood.

Ahora, también hemos oído que Sonya en realidad se había distanciado de algunos miembros de la familia cuando ella murió. No se llevaba bien con su hermano porque estaban luchando sobre quién iba a proporcionar y cuidar a su madre, que tiene Alzheimer y demencia.

El hermano de Sonya nos dice que estaban trabajando en reparar su relación poco antes de que ella muriera.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Tyler y la Academia de Televisión y hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

Here's the deal ... Sonya died at the end of 2022 and she won a Daytime Emmy last month for her work on "General Hospital," with her producing partner and friend Tyler Ford accepting the award on her behalf.

Now, Sonya's family members want the award in their possession ... and they're pissed it wasn't given to them in the first place.

Sonya's younger brother, Robbie Eddy, tells TMZ ... the Television Academy didn't tell her family she was going to be winning an Emmy beforehand, and Tyler's told them he's going to keep her trophy.

We're told Sonya's whole family is now working to get the Emmy ... sending a letter to the Television Academy.

While Sonya's kin waits to hear back from the Academy, we're told they feel this whole thing is a slap in the face -- they're still grieving, and this dispute is making that process harder. Plus, the Emmys happened shortly before the 1-year anniversary of her death.

Sonya's brother says the family has no plans to take any kind of legal action against Tyler or the Academy ... they don't want to tarnish her memory with a lawsuit, they're just hoping Tyler does the "right thing" and hands over her Emmy.

Now, we've also heard Sonya was actually estranged from some family members when she died -- she wasn't getting along with her brother because they were fighting over who was going to provide and care for their mom, who has Alzheimer's and dementia.

Sonya's brother tells us they were working on repairing their relationship not long before she died.

SELENA GOMEZ Talks Body Changes with Old Bikini Pic I Won't Look Like This Again

Published | Updated

Selena Gomez is making significant strides in her body positivity journey ... embracing her physical changes throughout the years, while acknowledging there's no going back.

The actress posted an old photo of herself, in which she looks significantly different -- sharing a bikini snap to her IG Stories Monday from years earlier ... writing that she'd never look like that again. Hard to say if Selena sees that as good or bad, but she's pointing it out.

SG then shared a recent swimsuit snap of herself from behind -- and while she undeniably still looks great ... the star used it as a reminder to practice self-love. Selena says despite not being "perfect," it's OK to be herself ... and she's proud of being who she is.

Worth noting ... Selena has faced body-shamers in the past, so it's interesting she's speaking up on this.

In 2022, she famously said being skinny wasn't worth the hassle of denying yourself your favorite foods ... adding, "Bitch, I am perfect the way I am."

Selena Gomez Habla de los cambios en su cuerpo con una vieja foto en bikini

Published

Selena Gomez está dando otro paso en su viaje personal con su cuerpo, abrazando sus cambios físicos a lo largo de los años y reconociendo que no hay vuelta atrás.

La actriz publicó una vieja foto suya, en la que se ve significativamente diferente. En sus IG stories, compartió una foto en bikini de años anteriores, escribiendo que nunca volvería a verse así de nuevo. Es difícil decir si Selena ve eso como algo bueno o malo, pero lo está señalando.

Luego compartió una reciente imagen en traje de baño, tomada desde atrás, y aunque innegablemente se ve muy bien, la estrella lo utilizó como un recordatorio para practicar el amor propio. Selena dice que a pesar de no ser "perfecta", está bien ser ella misma y está orgullosa de ser quien es.

Vale la pena señalar, que Selena se ha enfrentado a personas que la avergüenzan por su cuerpo en el pasado, por lo que es interesante que esté hablando sobre esto.

En 2022 dijo que no valía la pena privarse de sus comidas favoritas por ser delgada, añadiendo: "Bitch, soy perfecta como soy".

Por cierto, Selena ha sido diagnosticada con lupus y la fluctuación de peso es un efecto secundario conocido.
