Jalen Hurts, Angel Reese and Ronald Acuña Jr. got 'Next' ... 'cause the star athletes were just named to a prestigious Time magazine list naming the future leaders of the world!

The "100Next" list, compiled by Time, recognizes the "100 emerging leaders from around the world who are shaping the future and defining the next generation of leadership" ... from sports stars to scientists.

Hurts -- who earned the cover spot on the magazine (there are also versions with singer/songwriter Kelsea Ballerini and Chef Mory Sacko) -- along with Reese, and Acuña Jr. are three of seven athletes to grace the list.

21-year-old Reese led the LSU Tigers women's basketball team to their first National Championship last year ... making history along the way with 34 double-doubles. Hoops great Candace Parker wrote about Angel for Time ... and she phrased it perfectly.

"Angel Reese is having more than just a moment. She’s just getting started."

As for 25-year-old Acuna Jr., the Braves star is the overwhelming favorite for National League MVP ... and future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera believes Ronald could be one of the best ever.

"Ronald? He has a great chance of becoming the best Venezuelan-born baseball player ever. It’s as simple as that," Venezulean-born Cabrera wrote for Time.

Let that sink in ... better than Cabrera. The Cabrera that's hit 510 home runs, made 12 All-Star teams, won 2 AL MVPs and a Triple Crown in 2012. Oh, he's also a World Series champ.

With Acuna, Miggy says it's more than just numbers.

"Ronald is more than just his statistics. He is the kind of player that fans pay to watch play. He can change the game with a single hit, his defense, or his baserunning."

As for Jalen, he's one of the best football players in the league ... and is expected to be in the mix for yet another trip to the Super Bowl this season. Hurts was paid very handsomely in the offseason ... signing a $255 million extension.

Peyton Manning, writing for Time, heaped praise on the Eagles QB.

"He’s not celebrating. He doesn’t see it as a reward. He sees it for what it is: the Eagles are paying him for what they expect him to do now," Manning said.

"He’s a model of how to approach a job. This is where the hard work begins."

USWNT's Sophia Smith, American golfer Rose Zhang, Indian cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur, and Spanish soccer star Salma Paralluelo were the other athletes who earned a spot on the list.

The K-9 that subdued escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante -- to end a 2-week long manhunt  -- had a massive area to search, but one law enforcement expert says the pup is the perfect officer for the job.

Michael Gould used to train K-9's for NY police departments, and he joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" to explain the training thsese 4-legged officers go through to locate an escapee -- and he says Cavalcante's capture played out almost perfectly.

Michael says dogs go through a lot of training to learn to pick up on a human scent, and he tells us why Cavalcante waiting out in the woods for an extended period made it possible for the pup to sniff him out.

We also talked with Michael about the potential of a dog subduing a suspect like Cavalcante, and turning to deadly force if its trainer isn't nearby.

While he thinks it's natural for people to resist while being chomped on, a simple voice command from the trainer could call off a dog.

As we reported, Cavalcante, who is a convicted murderer, was arrested Wednesday morning by SWAT teams and a Border Patrol Tactical Unit in Pennsylvania after 14 days of hunting. The K-9 left a minor bite wound on his scalp while he tried to break free.

Joe Burrow está como nuevo después de que los Bengals fueran sacudidos por los Browns, dejando atrás su viejo peinado para zanjar el hedor de la pérdida 24-3 del domingo.

El quarterback superestrella estrenó el nuevo look durante su comparecencia ante los medios el miércoles, y cuando se le preguntó acerca de su decisión, medio bromeó diciendo que estuvo inspirado en el enfrentamiento contra Cleveland la Semana 1.

"Cuando tienes un partido como ese el domingo", dijo Burrow con una sonrisa.

Un reportero intentó seguir averiguando si el ex seleccionado general en el Draft de la NFL 2020 estaba hablando en serio o solo jugando, y admitió que era "un poco de ambos".

Los Bengals, de los cuales se espera que sean uno de los mejores equipos de la AFC esta temporada, salieron a tropiezos en Cleveland, con Burrow y compañía luchando por hacer funcionar las cosas en el ataque.

Joe Burrow is starting fresh after his Bengals got rocked by the Browns ... chopping off his locks to ditch the stench of Sunday's 24-3 loss.

The superstar quarterback -- who became the highest-paid player in the NFL after inking a 5-year, $275 million extension -- debuted the new look during his media availability on Wednesday ... and when asked about his decision to ditch his solid flow, he half-joked it was inspired by the Week 1 matchup against Cleveland.

"When you have a game like that on Sunday," Burrow said with a smile.

A reporter followed up on whether the former #1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft was being serious or just playing around ... and he admitted it was "a little of both."

The Bengals -- who are expected to be one of the top teams in the AFC this season -- stumbled out the gates in Cleveland ... with Burrow and Co. struggling to get things going on offense.

New York Fashion Week is wrapping up, and designers took some big chances on the runways ... sending models out in all kinds of 'fits and really pushing the envelope.

2023 NYFW has been going on for the past week, and one of the wilder styles we've seen includes a male model with massively oversized boots and a matching sweater, plus furry gloves and shorts and a huge headpiece.

Meanwhile, there are models looking like real-life stuffed animals ... and some designs that look straight out of arts and crafts time at an elementary school.

Mohawks were a big thing too this year ... dominating the runway at the VIN + OMI "OMNIA" Show at 100 Shoreditch ... and screaming for attention.

Skin, skin and more skin ... barely-there bikinis from Pinkmelon Swimwear made a statement ... and one model came out with nothing but pasties over her nipples and vagina and some black boots.

On the other end of the spectrum ... the women wearing Pipenco Lorena were ensconced in fabrics for a fashion show at the Brooklyn Museum.

La Semana de la Moda de Nueva York está llegando a su fin y los diseñadores se arriesgaron mucho en las pasarelas. Las modelos salieron con todo tipo de conjuntos y demostraron que no hay límites en la moda.

2023 NYFW ha transcurrido durante la semana pasada, y uno de los estilos más salvajes que hemos visto incluye un modelo masculino con botas de gran tamaño y un suéter a juego, además de guantes de piel y pantalones cortos y un tocado enorme.

También hay modelos que parecen animales de peluche de verdad, y algunos diseños parecen sacados de la clase de manualidades de la escuela primaria.

Este año, las crestas de los mohicanos también han tenido un gran protagonismo, dominando la pasarela en el desfile de VIN + OMI "OMNIA" en el 100 de Shoreditch y pidiendo a gritos que se les preste atención.

Piel, piel y más piel, los bikinis apenas transparentes de Pinkmelon Swimwear fueron toda una declaración de principios. Una modelo salió con nada más que cinta adhesiva sobre los pezones y la vagina y unas botas negras.

En el otro extremo del espectro, las mujeres que llevaban Pipenco Lorena estaban envueltas en telas para un desfile de moda en el Museo de Brooklyn.

Taylor Swift no sólo se llevó el gran premio de los VMAs, también fue muy popular en internet gracias a varios momentos virales durante la noche. Desde darlo todo en la pista de baile hasta destrozar anillos caros.

La cara de la cantante de "Anti-Hero" estaba en todas las redes sociales el martes durante la ceremonia en Nueva Jersey, con sus movimientos de baile como uno de los aspectos más destacados.

Taylor estaba de pie durante la interpretanción de "Bongos", de Cardi B y Megan Thee Stallion". En un algún momento le bloqueó la vista a Ice Spice, pero Taylor estaba sintiendo la música en sus venas. También movió el cuerpo al ritmo de "A Milli" de Lil Wayne, ¡incluso rapeando!

Taylor también tuvo un momento divertido en el que parecía luchar por sacar una bebida del portavasos de su asiento. No está claro si el problema era ella, la bebida o el propio portavasos

Taylor Swift se aseguró de proporcionar un poco de angustia también, ya que rompió un anillo de $12k que llevaba al show.

Como sabéis, Taylor se llevó a casa 9 premios en los VMAs, incluyendo Show del Verano, Vídeo del Año y Artista del Año.

Taylor Swift didn't just take home some VMAs hardware, she also won the internet thanks to several viral moments during the night -- from feelin' the groove to destroying expensive bling.

The "Anti-Hero" singer's face was all over social media Tuesday as the ceremony went down in New Jersey ... with her dance moves as one of the leading highlights.

Taylor was on her feet during Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "Bongos" performance -- at one point blocking Ice Spice's view of the show, but Taylor was feelin' it. She was also moving her body to Lil Wayne's "A Milli" ... even rapping along!

TS had a funny moment pick up steam, too -- showing her appear to struggle to get a drink out of her seat's cupholder. Unclear if the problem was her, the booze, or the holder itself.

Taylor Swift made sure to provide a little heartbreak too though, apparently breaking a $12k ring she wore to the show.

As you know, Taylor took home 9 awards at the VMAs, including Show of the Summer, Video of the Year, and Artist of the Year.

If there was a Viral Artist of the Night category, she totally would've dominated that one, too.

With all of the big stars -- Taylor, Nicki, Selena and more -- do you think the MTV VMAs have gained credibility again? Vote below.

Selena Gomez is getting the internet meme treatment after her disapproving reaction to Chris Brown at the VMAs, but she quickly clapped back once the award show was over.

In case ya missed it, Selena was on camera Tuesday night while the nominees for Best R&B were read out, and the now-viral moment went down as Chris' name was announced.

Check it out ... she scrunches her face and stops clapping as his collab with Chloe Bailey, "How Does It Feel," was announced. Her smile returned and her clapping continued after they moved on to the next nom, however.

The singer jumped on Instagram after the festivities -- and more importantly, after the clip made the rounds ... vowing to "never be a meme again," adding she'd rather have no reaction at all than show off her genuine feelings.

As you know, Chris infamously assaulted his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, back in 2009, and has been accused repeatedly of assaulting women over the years ... so that's more than likely why she made that face in the audience.

What's interesting is ... Selena's not denying her reaction, but it's more about her being pissed about the whole meme thing -- which btw, also included shots of her just looking bored during the award show.

Selena also made the rounds last night for covering her ears during Olivia Rodrigo's performance at the VMAs, but that seemed to be a reaction to the staged act gone wrong ... as onstage explosions drowned out Olivia's vocals.

Don't forget, Selena and Rema took home the Best Afrobeats award at the ceremony for "Calm Down" ... and she thanked her collaborator for believing in her and letting her be a part of the track.

Fittingly, that song title is basically Selena's reaction to all the memes.

Do you think Selena Gomez's viral reaction was actually shade? Vote below.

Selena Gomez está convirtiéndose en un meme por todo Internet, luego de su reacción de desaprobación hacia Chris Brown en los VMAs. Sin embargo, decidió responder rápidamente una vez que el show de premios se acabara.

En caso de que te lo hayas perdido, Selena estaba en cámara el martes por la noche mientras se presentaban los nominados a Mejor R&B... y el momento que se convirtió en viral fue cuando se anunció el nombre de Chris.

Echa un vistazo. Se la puede ver frunciendo el ceño y dejando de aplaudir cuando su colaboración con Chloe Bailey, "How Does It Feel", fue anunciada. Sin embargo, volvió a sonreír y a aplaudir cuando pasaron al siguiente nominado.

La cantante corrió a Instagram después de la celebración, y lo más importante, después de que el clip se hiciera viral, prometiendo que "no volverá a ser un meme", añadiendo que prefiere no tener ninguna reacción en absoluto que mostrar sus sentimientos genuinos.

Como ustedes saben, Chris infamemente atacó a su ex novia, Rihanna, en 2009, y ha sido acusado en repetidas ocasiones de agredir a las mujeres en los últimos años. Así que, probablemente, eso fue lo que la hizo poner esa cara durante el show.

Lo que es interesante es que Selena no está negando su reacción, sino que más bien está enojado por todo este asunto del meme, que, por cierto, también incluyó fotos de ella luciendo aburrida durante la entrega de los premios.

Selena también estuvo en boca de todos anoche por taparse los oídos durante la actuación de Olivia Rodrigo en los VMAs. Pero esta parece haber sido una reacción normal a la puesta en escena, que tuvo explosiones en el escenario que ahogaron la voz de Olivia.

No hay que olvidar que Selena y Rema se llevaron a casa el premio al Mejor Afrobeats en la ceremonia por "Calm Down", y que también dio las gracias a su colaborador por creer en ella y dejarla participar en este tema.

El hombre que se escapó de la cárcel en Pennsylvania y que actualmente está en la carrera no es el Robin Hood de la gente, y probablemente lo capturen pronto. Esas son las palabras de un ex U.S. Marshal.

Hablamos con Art Roderick el martes en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos al veterano oficial— que ha trabajado en casos como este con anterioridad— si Danelo Cavalcante está preparado para eludir a las autoridades para siempre, teniendo en cuenta que ha estado sin capturar durante casi 2 semanas.

Roderick cree que el fugitivo será llevado ante la justicia, sin embargo, reconoce que las cosas están empezando a verse un poco complicadas teniendo en cuenta que su ubicación está en constante cambio. Además, la única forma de hacer el seguimiento es por medio de la gente que lo ha visto y pronosticando a donde se dirige.

Dicho esto, Roderick confía en que Cavalcante será detenido y que es sólo cuestión de tiempo.

Por supuesto, el último desarrollo es preocupante, Cavalcante se robó un rifle de una casa en un pequeño pueblo de Pensilvania. Así que ahora está armado y es peligroso, lo que sin duda complica las cosas.

Roderick reconoce la gravedad de la situación, pero confía en que este tipo no quiere hacerle daño a nadie, lo más probable es que esté intentando huir del país.

A la pregunta de si los lugareños podrían aceptar su historia de bandido en la línea de los antihéroes estadounidenses como D.B. Cooper, Roderick responde que la gente de la zona sabe muy bien que no es un buen tipo y no lo aceptarán.

The man who escaped prison in Pennsylvania -- and who's currently on the run -- ain't no Robin Hood of the people, and he'll likely be caught soon ... so says a former U.S. Marshal.

We talked to Art Roderick Tuesday on "TMZ Live" and asked the veteran law enforcement official -- who's worked on cases like this one before -- if Danelo Cavalcante is primed to elude the authorities for good, considering he's gone uncaptured for almost 2 weeks.

Roderick tells us he does believe this fugitive will be brought to justice eventually, however ... he does acknowledge it's starting to look a little murky considering their ever-changing perimeters based on where this guy is spotted and where he might realistically be heading.

With that said ... Roderick is confident Cavalcante is going to be apprehended, and that it's just a matter of time.

Of course, the latest development is a concerning one -- Cavalcante snagged a rifle from someone's home in a small PA town. So, now, he's armed and dangerous ... which certainly ups the ante.

Roderick acknowledges the severity of the situation, but says he's confident this guy probably isn't out to hurt anyone -- in all likelihood, he's probably trying to flee the country.

On the question of whether locals might embrace his bandit-esque story -- in the vein of American antiheroes like D.B. Cooper -- Roderick halts that notion in its tracks, saying people in that area know damn well this isn't a good guy, and will not embrace him.

Celebration turned to chaos as a Rhode Island wedding party got into an all-out brawl with police officers ... and it's all on video.

Half a dozen members of the wedding party were arrested early Sunday morning following a melee with cops outside a Newport restaurant ... and footage shows the incident escalating from a tense interaction to straight-up combat.

In the video, punches thrown by both sides fly and connect ... and a woman in an orange dress, who police later identified as Alexandra Flaherty, is seen kicking a cop in the groin.

Another woman in the wedding party gets knocked out cold ... hitting the deck when an officer throws her to the ground.

In the police report, obtained by TMZ, the cop says the woman was reaching for his firearm when he turned around and threw a punch connecting with her jaw. Police say the woman, later identified as Rachael Onik, eventually became conscious and was arrested.

Cops say Rachael's husband, David Onik, started the whole thing when he threw a fit after being denied entry to a bar. Police say David got physical with bar staff, who called the cops.

Police say when officers arrived to talk to David, his wife "began injecting herself into the incident and becoming uncooperative" ... and when an officer tried to move her back, she tripped on the cobblestone street. That's where the video picks up and all hell breaks loose.

Footage also shows a man in a suit and tie, who police later identified as Robert Nash, punching a cop in the face, taking him to the ground and then pummeling him.

Jonathan Majors just wanted to satisfy his craving for In-N-Out, but stopped a beatdown instead ... swooping in the middle of a high school fight to break things up.

We got the actor in West Hollywood Monday, hours after stopping 2 girls from fighting each other at the fast-food chain -- at a location next to Hollywood High School.

Jonathan's not sure what sparked the brawl, but makes it clear he just wanted to make sure folks didn't get hurt in the scuffle, so he stepped in. Jonathan's also hoping the girls are doing alright after the fight, and he's got some cool & simple words for those involved.

As we reported, Jonathan is currently in the middle of a legal battle with his ex-girlfriend -- he was arrested in March for misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment after allegedly slapping her in a taxi.

Jonathan Majors sólo quería satisfacer su antojo de In-N-Out, pero en su lugar decidió detener una pelea de estudiantes secundarias en el lugar, abalanzándose sobre ellas para acabar con el pleito.

Nos encontramos con el actor en West Hollywood el lunes, horas después de que parara una riña entre dos chicas en un restaurante de la cadena junto a Hollywood High School.

Jonathan no está seguro sobre cuál fue el motivo que provocó la pelea, pero deja claro que sólo quería asegurarse de que las chicas no salieran heridas en la refriega. Por eso intervino. Jonathan también espera que las muchachas se encuentren bien, y tiene palabras de buena onda y amabilidad para ellas.

Como informamos, Jonathan se encuentra actualmente en medio de una batalla legal con su ex novia. Fue detenido en marzo por un delito menor de asalto, acoso agravado, intento de asalto, y acoso después de supuestamente abofetearla en un taxi.

Los neoyorquinos se maravillaron ante un paisaje especial en el aniversario del 11-S: un enorme arco iris doble se extendió sobre la ciudad exactamente 22 años después del atentado terrorista.

Los habitantes de la Gran Manzana salieron de sus casas en un lunes lluvioso y miraron hacia arriba para contemplar el espectáculo en el cielo, que hizo a la gente asombrarse y tomar fotos y videos que arrasaron por Internet rápidamente.

Una persona compartió su visión desde lo alto de un rascacielos, desde donde parecía que toda la ciudad estaba prácticamente cubierta por el doble arco iris.

El momento elegido por la madre naturaleza no podría haber sido mejor, ya que muchos neoyorquinos estaban recordando o reviviendo el horror que se vivió hace 22 años, por lo que la visión de los arco iris supuso una gran diferencia. Y también muy emotiva.

Como informamos, las autoridades de Nueva York dijeron el viernes que los restos de un hombre y una mujer fueron identificados luego de todos estos años, gracias a los importantes avances en las pruebas de ADN.
