TV

Strong start to the week at TMZ -- and you can tell by how fiery out TV shows were from from to back ... touching on all things Super Bowl, especially as it pertains to T-Swift.

On 'TMZ Live,' you best believe we were talking Taylor Swift and her next stop in her football journey alongside Travis Kelce -- and yes, that'd be the big game itself in the Super Bowl ... which is exactly where she (and all Swifties) will be two Sundays from now.

Yes, she has a show in Tokyo the night before ... and no, it doesn't matter -- 'cause she'll be front and center. One thing she won't be doing at SB LVIII ... upstaging Usher whatsoever.

'TMZ on TV' was a riot Monday ... much of which had to with Britney Spears apologizing to Justin Timberlake after trashing him in her book -- something nobody really saw coming.

Her "apology" seemed to come out of nowhere this weekend ... but it did shed some light on how she feels about her ex -- and, perhaps, how she made him look in the memoir. The staff had their own ideas on the bigger implications ... and whether this was even needed.

Finally, we arrive at 'TMZ Sports' ... where, yes, we were talking Super Bowl again -- only this time ... focusing on a different famous lady tied to an NFL stud ... Olivia Culpo

She got a little teary-eyed when the 49ers won their game ... peep to find out why!

Caitlyn Jenner has a good thing going in her TV career, and didn't want a little cameo on her son's own show ruin that for her ... which is why she took steps to make sure it won't!

Sources close to Caitlyn tell TMZ ... Brandon Jenner has a new series on UnchainedTV called "At Home With the Jenners" and he's been kinda using her name to promote the project, without her blessing.

The show is 3 episodes in, and Brandon gave an interview to The U.S. Sun where he promised Caitlyn will appear on the show ... which isn't totally inaccurate, 'cause she was featured in a family dinner scene with David Foster and did, indeed, show up on camera.

The problem ... our sources say Caitlyn had no idea she was going to be part of Brandon's show whatsoever, and she wasn't happy when she found out he was using her for promotions, let alone when she found out she was actually *in* a scene.

We're told Caitlyn's attorneys reached out to the show's production company, threatening legal action if she wasn’t quickly removed from the show ... and our sources say she's since been scrubbed from all future appearances and has even been edited out of the episodes she was already shown in. If that sounds like kinda harsh, well ... there's big money at play here.

We're told Caitlyn's in the middle of contract renewals with FOX right now and she wants to keep working for the network as a Fox News contributor, especially with the upcoming Olympics and presidential election.

Our sources say Caitlyn wishes Brandon's show nothing but the best, but she's furious over how recklessly everything's been handled just to sell it. We're told CJ has no plans to join a reality show on a different network ... because doing so would potentially put her in a serious breach of her FOX contract, and she doesn't wanna jeopardize that.

Caitlyn called Brandon, we're told, when she found out what was going on, expressing her anger -- and it sounds like her son gets it, 'cause she's been scrubbed.

La cena de Orlando Brown en Los Ángeles tuvo un final caótico, porque el restaurante lo echó luego de que molestara a un miembro del personal.

TMZ ha obtenido un video de la ex estrella de Disney -que interpretó a Eddie Thomas en "That's So Raven"- siendo expulsado del lugar el domingo por la noche, y todo el asunto es bastante dramático, incluso para los estándares de Orlando.

Como se puede ver, Orlando graba a un tipo que trabaja allí y le dice un montón de improperios, incluso le grita hasta que alguien de seguridad lo escoltó fuera de la propiedad.

La gente que estaba allí dice que todo el asunto comenzó con Orlando actuando en su mesa. Nos dicen que le estaba gritando a otros clientes y cuando el personal se acercó a calmarlo, se fue.

Al final, Orlando hizo una gran salida en voz alta, diciendo: "Todo el mundo disfrutó de su noche, lo siento por ustedes... ¡Que se jodan a todos!" Sí, es muy Tony Montana.

Francamente, es una escena triste en general, como hemos informado, la ex estrella de Disney ha luchado durante años contra la adicción a las drogas y las luchas de salud mental. Ha estado dentro y fuera de la cárcel, por no hablar de los centros de rehabilitación.

Por extraño que parezca, ha estado trabajando bastante últimamente, solo el año pasado, Orlando fue un miembro del elenco de la Zeus Network "Bad Boys: Texas", donde ha agitado la olla también.

Orlando Brown's night out for dinner in L.A. came to a chaotic end ... because the hotspot restaurant tossed him out when he absolutely flipped out on a staffer.

TMZ has obtained video of the former Disney star -- who famously played Eddie Thomas on "That's So Raven" -- getting booted from TAO Sunday night, and the whole thing is pretty dramatic ... even by Orlando's standards.

As you can see ... Orlando's got his phone out recording a guy who works there, calling him a bunch of names and screaming obscenities before security escorted him off the property.

Folks who were there say the whole scene started with Orlando acting up at his table. We're told he was shouting at other patrons, and when staff came over to calm him down, he went off ... much of which is depicted in the footage we have here.

In the end, Orlando made a grand exit ... loudly telling the restaurant, "Everybody enjoy your night, I'm sorry for f****ing up your s*** ... F*** everybody!!!" Yeah, it's very Tony Montana.

Frankly, it's a sad scene all around ... as we've reported, the former Disney star has for years battled drug addiction and mental health struggles. He's been in and out of jail, not to mention rehab centers -- and at just about every juncture, he's come across as unhinged.

Strangely enough, he's actually been working again of late -- just last year, Orlando was a cast member for the Zeus Network's "Bad Boys: Texas" ... where he's stirred the pot too.

Drew Barrymore puede ser una estrella, pero no es inmune a los horrores de las aplicaciones de citas, incluyendo ser engañada por personas que afirman y pretenden ser alguien más.

En el episodio del viernes de "The Drew Barrymore Show", la actriz dijo que estaba encantada cuando recientemente se emparejó con un hombre que decía ser un jugador de los Rams de Los Ángeles. Ella le dijo que estaba emocionada de decirle que fue al Coliseo para ver su primer partido en Los Ángeles.

Desafortunadamente, todo se desvaneció cuando se percató de que la persona no era un jugador profesional ni mucho menos.

Drew le dijo a su co-presentador -Ross Mathews- que rápidamente se enteró de la cruda realidad. Ella dice que era un músico que pensó que estaba siendo un conquistador al cambiar su identidad.

Drew dice que se sentía estúpida por haber caído en la trampa.

Ross añade que estaba decepcionado, porque cuando ella comenzó a contar la historia se la imaginaba como la nueva Taylor Swift en los juegos, animando a su novio. Por desgracia, no estaba destinado a ser de esa manera.

Drew ha estado públicamente soltera tras su separación de su ex -Will Kopelman- en 2016, así que está viviendo el juego de la soltería.

Drew Barrymore might be an A-lister, but she isn't immune to the horrors of dating apps ... including getting tricked by people claiming/pretending to be someone else.

On Friday's episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show", the actress said she was thrilled when she recently matched with a man claiming to be the QB from the L.A. Rams -- not cause she wanted to flex on landing an athlete, she claims ... but cause she was excited to tell him she went to the Coliseum to see their first L.A. game.

Unfortunately, her fangirling was short-lived ... 'cause she wasn't talking to a Rams player.

Drew told her cohost Ross Mathews when she reached out to this guy with her football ramblings, she quickly learned the cold hard truth -- he was nowhere near to being a celebrated NFL'er. Instead ... she says he was a random musician who thought he was being cute about lying about his identity.

Drew says she felt stupid and dumb over being misled ... not to mean so easily fooled.

Ross adds she should absolutely feel a way about being lied to  -- saying he was disappointed cause when she started telling the story, he envisioned her being the new Taylor Swift at the games, cheering on her man. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Drew's been publicly single following her split from her ex Will Kopelman in 2016 ... but if her efforts crawling her way back into the dating pool are this grim ... there's clearly no hope for other singletons.

Kim Kardashian is adding executive producer to her never-ending resume ... for a documentary series centered on Elizabeth Taylor -- and she'll be starring in it, too!

Yes, you heard right ... after obsessing over Marilyn Monroe for a while -- see the whole dress thing -- the reality star has found a new infatuation with the late and great Hollywood icon -- jumping on board the new BBC Arts 3-parter, "Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar."

Kim, who conducted Taylor's last interview ever before her 2011 passing, will be quizzed about her personal relationship with the late legend for the doc -- and she's already gushed in a statement the actress' life story proved to her you can keep evolving and have different chapters in life ... something she's certainly applied to her own fame game.

In fact, there's probably no one better for the gig, if we're being honest ... Kim's embedded herself at the forefront of celeb culture today, just like Elizabeth once did in her heyday ... and it's pretty much a given that Kim's romances, trendsetting ways and businesses will be studied by future generations.

But for now ... Elizabeth and how she created the celeb blueprint during Hollywood's Golden Age is the main focus -- and Kim is partially in the driver's seat to bring it to life.

Never-before-heard audio tapes, interviews, unseen TV footage and rich archival movie footage will be used in the doc, which will delve into her 8 marriages, diamonds, and addictions as well as all the hats she wore as an actor, rebel, business mogul and activist.

The doc from Oscar-winning production firm Passion Pictures won't rely solely on Kim's vision ... Kari Lia and Hamish Fergusson will also serve as EP. It will air on UK's BBC Two and BBC iPlayer -- a U.S. network has yet to be confirmed.

Christmas Abbott's baby daddy was arrested in North Carolina ... for allegedly sharing explicit images of Christmas without her permission.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ ... Benjamin Bunn, who shares five-year-old son Loyal with Abbott, was arrested back in October and charged with three counts of disclosure of private images. He was later released on a $30,000 bond.

Sources close to the investigation tell us ... Abbot was being harassed by a fake account pretending to be her. Christmas believed Bunn was behind the account and was using it to post photos taken from an account where she publishes adult content from behind a paywall.

We’re told Christmas took this info to the cops ... who investigated, got a warrant, and eventually took Bunn into custody. His next court date is in February.

"Big Brother" fans will remember Christmas from seasons 19 and 22 of the show ... where she finished third and fourth respectively. She's also a CrossFit trainer and former Nascar pit crew member.

Abbott's had well-documented trouble with Bunn in the past. As we reported ... just a couple months before her son was born, Christmas suspected Benjamin was cheating on her -- and went to a Tampa gym to confront his alleged mistress.

The confrontation got out of hand ... with Christmas ramming into the woman's car. Cops showed up at the scene, but they declined to process her at the time, because she was almost 8 months pregnant. She turned herself in a few months later after she'd given birth.

El padre del bebé de Christmas Abbott fue detenido en Carolina del Norte por presuntamente compartir imágenes explícitas de Christmas sin su permiso.

De acuerdo con documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Benjamin Bunn, que comparte a Loyal -de cinco años- con Abbott, fue detenido en octubre y acusado de tres cargos de divulgación de imágenes privadas. Más tarde fue puesto en libertad bajo fianza de 30.000 dólares.

Fuentes cercanas a la investigación nos dicen que Abbott estaba siendo acosada por una cuenta falsa que se hacía pasar por ella. Christmas creía que Bunn estaba detrás de la cuenta y que la estaba utilizando para publicar fotos tomadas de una cuenta donde publicaba contenido para adultos.

Nos dicen que Christmas llevó esta información a la policía, quienes investigaron, obtuvo una orden judicial y finalmente detuvieron a Bunn. Su próxima cita en la corte es en febrero.

Los fans de "Gran Hermano" recordarán a Christmas de las temporadas 19 y 22 del programa, donde terminó tercera y cuarta respectivamente. Ella es también una entrenadora de CrossFit y ex-miembro del equipo de boxes Nascar.

Abbott ha tenido problemas bien documentados con Bunn en el pasado. Como hemos informado, solo un par de meses antes de que naciera su hijo, Christmas sospechaba que Benjamin la estuviera engañando y fue a un gimnasio de Tampa para hacerle frente a su supuesta amante.

La confrontación se le fue de las manos, con Christmas embistiendo el carro de la mujer. La policía se presentaron en la escena, pero se negaron a procesarla en ese momento porque estaba embarazada de casi 8 meses. Ella se entregó unos meses más tarde después de haber dado a luz.

"Poltergeist" star Dominique Dunne's death at the hands of her boyfriend enraged a very famous actor so much ... he told her family he could have the guy murdered.

Dominique, the daughter of famed writer/producer Dominick Dunne and sister of actor/producer Griffin Dunne, was strangled to death by BF John Sweeney, a famed L.A. chef, back in 1980. Sweeney was charged with murder but, in what almost everyone involved says was a gross miscarriage of justice, he was convicted of manslaughter and only served several years in prison.

Griffin, Dominick and family friend/Oscar-winning producer Charles Wessler went on a mission to haunt Sweeney, getting him fired from at least 7 jobs after his release from prison.

In a new TMZ documentary on FOX Monday night at 9/8 Central, Wessler tells the story at Dominique's funeral, where a very famous actor -- an actor who everyone knows -- came up to him and said he knew "people" who could take care of Sweeney for good -- i.e., kill him.

Wessler made it clear ... it wasn't something the family wanted, but it shows the level of outrage.

As the wheels of justice began to grind, it became apparent the legal process had gone horribly wrong. The judge would not allow the jury to hear from Sweeney's prior girlfriend who had an horrific story of how he repeatedly brutalized her to the point she ended up in the hospital several times. The woman broke her silence for the first time in our documentary.

As for the offer to perform a hit on Sweeney, judging from the way Wessler tells the story, the actor may have had mob ties.

You can hear the pain Dominique's family and friends experienced, for never being able to properly avenge Dominique's death -- something we examine in detail in our new doc -- "Killing a Movie Star: A Grave Injustice."

La muerte de la estrella de "Poltergeist" Dominique Dunne a manos de su novio enfureció tanto a un actor muy famoso, que le dijo a su familia que podía hacer que lo mataran.

Dominique, hija del famoso escritor y productor Dominick Dunne y hermana del actor y productor Griffin Dunne, murió estrangulada por su novio, John Sweeney, un famoso chef de Los Ángeles, en 1980. Sweeney fue acusado de asesinato, pero, en lo que casi todos los implicados dicen que fue un grave error judicial, fue condenado por homicidio involuntario y solo cumplió varios años de prisión.

Griffin, Dominick y Charles Wessler, amigo de la familia y productor ganador de un Oscar, se dedicaron a perseguir a Sweeney, consiguiendo que lo despidieran de al menos siete trabajos tras salir de la cárcel.

En un nuevo documental de TMZ en FOX el lunes por la noche a las 9/8 Central, Wessler cuenta una historia que transcurre en el funeral de Dominique, donde un actor muy famoso -alguien que todo el mundo conoce- se acercó a él y le dijo que conocía a "gente" que podría encargarse de Sweeney para siempre, es decir, matarlo.

Wessler dejó claro que no era lo que la familia quería, pero muestra el nivel de indignación.

Cuando las ruedas de la justicia empezaron a girar, se hizo evidente que el proceso legal había ido terriblemente mal. El juez no permitió que el jurado escuchara a la anterior novia de Sweeney, que tenía una historia horrible de cómo él la maltrató repetidamente hasta el punto de que acabó en el hospital varias veces. La mujer rompió su silencio por primera vez en nuestro documental.

En cuanto a la oferta de realizar un golpe contra Sweeney, a juzgar por la forma en que Wessler cuenta la historia, el actor podría haber tenido vínculos con la mafia.

Se puede oír el dolor que experimentó la familia y los amigos de Dominique por no haber podido vengar nunca adecuadamente la muerte de Dominique, algo que examinamos en detalle en nuestro nuevo doc. "Matar a una estrella de cine: Una Grave Injusticia".

The trial of the boyfriend of actress Dominique Dunne -- one of the stars of "Poltergeist" -- stands out as one of the most appalling miscarriages of justice ... and what unfolded in the aftermath of the 1982 murder is especially unsettling -- all exposed in our new FOX primetime special ... which unearths shocking new evidence.

In the harrowing doc airing Monday night, we confirm Griffin Dunne's lingering suspicion his sister's killer, John Sweeney, had committed more domestic violence after the trial -- one particular case from 2000 ... when a woman filed a restraining order against him, alleging shocking brutality.

Too scared to speak on camera, the woman speaks directly to Harvey Levin ... recalling how he dragged her by her ponytail through a hotel lobby, shoved her head in a bathtub, pushed her against a wall, and put his hands on her collarbone near her throat.

She escaped with their infant child and hasn't seen him since ... and despite getting the police involved, Sweeney wasn't charged with a crime.

Charles Wessler, an Oscar-winning producer and family friend of the Dunnes, says the recent revelations don't come as a surprise ... claiming Sweeney still caries the same volatile rage to this very day. Dominque's devastated pal Gloria echoes the sentiment, saying he was never cured ... calling him a caged animal.

Harold Johnson, the lead detective in the 1982 case, is equally disturbed ... saying it's a travesty a man as violent as Sweeney is still going around choking women.

Now that it's the weekend, it's worth a look back at what TMZ covered this week ... particularly on the tube -- where we had a lil' too much fun heading into Saturday/Sunday.

Starting with 'TMZ Live,' we just had to tackle this whole Alyssa Milano situation -- which was kicked off from her own doing. Basically, she tried fundraising on behalf of her son ... but got dragged for doing so, and you can imagine why.

The question is ... was she in the right, or in the wrong? Strong opinions from all on this one.

'TMZ on TV' was a riot to end the week ... and it's all thanks to the genius marketing people at Warner Bros. -- who trotted out this popcorn bucket for 'Dune 2,' which looks ... strange.

The crew had a blast trying to figure out exactly what this looks like -- take a guess yourself.

Somewhat of a serious and startling topic on 'TMZ Sports,' where Mojo and Mike analyzed the theft of a life-size Jackie Robinson statue from a youth baseball facility this week.

Annemarie Wiley's speaking out about the cyberbullying she says she's had to deal with recently ... and it was sparked by a controversial drawing.

The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star shared the pic Saturday ... a caricature of herself with huge muscles and a bottle of propofol -- used as general anesthesia -- hanging from the neck. AW's a "Nurse Anesthetist" according to her profile, explaining the propofol.

In her caption, Wiley blasted the photo ... telling her more than 34k followers that she'd had to deal with a ton of racism and cyberbullying recently -- pointing to the pic as a major example of that.

She started by saying she was a collegiate athlete who still worked out every day... adding she's proud to show young women you don't have to be a size 0 to be beautiful and love yourself.

Wiley added, "Drawing a black woman as a gorilla is disgusting and completely unacceptable!" before mentioning the historical context of Black women being "villanized" and called "animalistic."

She added she's dealt with microaggressions and name-calling through the years ... but said the picture's a totally new level of "hatred," and she called out the artist who made it by account name.

FWIW ... the artist's intent is difficult to judge here. The account "drunkdrawn" has posted a ton of these kinda pics through the years and uses a very specific style to portray these individuals -- some that share a ton of similarities to the Wiley snap, like this one of 'RHOSLC' star Meredith Marks.

In any case, Wiley was clearly hurt and offended by the picture and "drunkdrawn" seems to realize it stepped over a line ... 'cause it appears the post has been deleted.

Sharon Stone's looking for love online, and she's finding out a lesson lots of millennials already know ... many people don't live up to their profile hype.

The superstar actress opened up about her online dating trials and tribulations in an interview with The Times Friday ... with Stone saying she's hoping 2024 will be her year to find true love.

So far though ... SS says it's leading to dates with lots of real sketchy dudes instead -- a fact not totally surprising to anyone who's used the apps over the years.

Stone's dates sound a heck of a lot worse than your average "guy lied about his height or job" catfishing ... Sharon actually seems to be attracted to some real stinkers.

For example, Sharon pulled one dude who she later found out was a convicted felon -- and another who she said was "clearly 20,000 heroin injections later than the picture he sent me" ... definitely not hubby material.

And, as for her good matches ... they happened during the pandemic, and Sharon said she never actually met the dudes IRL. Basically, Stone says she mainly acted as a "therapist" of sorts to a recent divorcee and another man who'd been through a breakup after his GF had an abortion -- conversations SS called "rewarding."

One big challenge ... the 65-year-old says she's not on dating apps like Bumble to hook up -- adding she thinks men will basically get it on with anything, like a "warm can of beans," so she doesn't really need to try for sex.

Instead, she's looking for a partner -- Sharon says she doesn't have a set list of criteria, but basically, she'll know it when she feels it. She's not rushing into love -- she's been married twice and has three kids to think of as well -- so she says she's gonna take her time with it.

Paxton Singleton -- who starred in the hit show "The Haunting of Hill House" on Netflix -- has been arrested in Arkansas ... TMZ has learned.

According to online booking records ... 19-year-old Singleton was arrested Friday in Siloam Springs on charges of loitering and possessing alcohol as a minor.

The loitering charge carried a $430 bond which was paid 'cause docs say PS was released early Saturday morning. He has a court date scheduled for February 29.

Singleton's got a few credits on IMDb ... most notably starring in all 10 episodes of "The Haunting of Hill House" as the young version of Michiel Huisman's Steven Crain.

He's also appeared in "The Rookie," "Supernatural," "The Resident" and "Chicago Med" ... along with a couple of smaller projects.
