Atlanta's food scene has been under the microscope since a viral food critic came to town with bad reviews -- and now, some of these places are promising change.

Keith Lee, who has a massive TikTok following and whose food reviews have turned small, unseen businesses into out-the-door favorites brought his talents to the ATL last week -- and had a lot to say.

He did a number of video reviews ... and a good handful of them actually ended up being retrospectives into how difficult it turned out to be to order takeout at a bunch of well-known/popular establishments in town. His stops included The Real Milk & Honey, and Kandi Burruss's Old Lady Gang restaurant -- both experiences, he says, left him without food.

Apparently, there are a ton of "rules" Keith says he and his family had to go through to even place an order or to be seated -- stemming from what he characterizes as bad customer service -- and since calling these places out ... a lot of folks have chimed in to agree.

In the aftermath of these reviews -- and amid all the discourse that's followed -- there seems to be a consensus ... it's kinda difficult to dine in Atlanta, and for no real good reason, either.

Kandi addressed part of Keith's critique -- the fact he and his crew couldn't easily order takeout -- and said her restaurant puts the focus and resources on those who eat in. However, she didn't address his claim he was only offered a table because of his name.

In any case ... Kandi welcomes him back and hopes she and the OLG team can get another shot. The folks who own The Real Milk & Honey (which is a franchised restaurant) took a slightly different approach ... but ultimately landed with a bit of a clarification/apology too.

After one of the RMH honchos reportedly torched Keith on a local radio station -- in trying to defend his restaurant's stringent practices -- the restaurant itself issued a lengthy statement Tuesday ... seemingly admitting to being in the wrong.

The corporate account says they've done some soul-searching over the course of this week-long saga ... and now, The Real Milk & Honey is vowing to tweak how they operate.

They don't exactly say what's in store -- but it appears Keith's review made 'em think twice.

BTW, this whole chapter took over part of the Internet for a good several days ... and it got some big-time celebs weighing in on the supposed Atlanta food scene "problem" -- including Cardi B, who in no uncertain terms sided with Keith ... and thanked him for exposing it.

As many have noted ... the Keith Lee effect is real, for better or worse. Take note, folks -- he critiques food AND customer service ... and he'll let ya know if he's not feeling it!

Ex-NBA player Joe Smith's wife says their issues run much deeper than her OnlyFans career ... admitting they've also struggled with finances, mental health and infidelity over the years -- but she's confident she won't have to hire a divorce lawyer anytime soon.

Kisha Chavis joined Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" to address the now-viral video of the former No. 1-overall pick finding out about her NSFW side hustle ... and she admits it's just the tip of the iceberg.

As it turns out, the two have been together for nearly 13 years -- Kisha says she was an established singer overseas before getting with Joe ... and she thought their pairing had all the makings of a power couple, but it didn't go as planned.

Kisha explains they fell on hard times -- Joe was out of the league ... and while she created several new money-making opportunities, the COVID-19 pandemic left a major impact on their cash flow.

Kisha believes Joe fell into a depression after going from a top pick in the NBA to being jobless ... and instead of taking matters into his own hands and creating a second career for himself, he did nothing.

As a result, she resorted to what she had to do -- claiming it was a decision she made to improve their lives.

"I'm just sorry that he can't understand that ... it wasn't a selfish decision," Kisha says. "It was a decision that I made. I made an executive decision when my man wasn't taking the lead. I really love Joe."

Kisha claims she's had her account for more than a year ... and Joe didn't find out about it until a "friend that he's been entertaining" brought it to his attention.

She also says Joe got so pissed after finding out about it, he's currently living elsewhere.

Despite all their issues, Kisha makes it clear she wants to work on their relationship ... and believes he will have a change of heart.

Kate Upton's still got her fastball -- the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model just made her debut on TikTok this week ... recreating her viral "Dougie" dance to celebrate the occasion.

Of course, the 31-year-old lit the internet on fire 13 years ago ... when she busted out the iconic moves to the Cali Swag District hit at a basketball game.

The clip garnered millions of views and stole the hearts of horny kids all over the world ... so it's only fitting Upton reprised her role for her first post on the social media platform.

The vid starts by showing Upton search "Teach Me How To Dougie" on DuckDuckGo ... before letting loose with her moves.

"Teach me how to TikTok…? #dougie," Justin Verlander's wife said in the caption.

Safe to say she hasn't lost a step in over a decade ... duplicating the dance for her followers just like she did back in the day.

BTW -- she currently only has just over 500 people tuning in to her page ... but we assume that number is going to explode now that she's gone public with the profile.

So ... Cat Daddy next??

Could Flavor Flav do the national anthem at an NBA game again?? Yeahhhh boyyyyyeeeeeee -- 'cause the rap legend tells TMZ Sports he's gotten offers from two more teams after singing at the Milwaukee Bucks game on Sunday!!

The iconic Public Enemy hype man got on the mic and belted out the "Star-Spangled Banner" ahead of the Bucks' home loss to the Atlanta Hawks ... and footage of the rendition quickly went viral.

As it turns out, it was a bucket list moment for Flav ... who explained he always wanted to give it a shot in honor of his family members who fought in the U.S. military -- some who passed in the line of duty.

"When I sang that national anthem, I was singing it for them because they're not here to sing it for themselves," Flav told us. "I did that in honor of my family and also for a lot of other people's families, too, that fought for this country."

Flav -- who got the opportunity thanks to Bucks prez Peter Feigin -- received mixed reviews on the internet ... but he said the positive feedback far outweighs the negatives, and the only thing that really matters is that he had fun doing it.

"I ain't gonna lie, I was kind of proud of myself after I did it."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer revealed he also got a lot of love from two of his famous fans -- Anthony Anderson and Flo Rida ... who both told him he crushed it!!

Flav said he never gets nervous before taking the stage ... but admitted he had a few jitters before venturing into this new territory.

Sean Paul had to press pause on an interview when an earthquake rocked the building he was in at the time ... and he immediately got busy high-tailing it out of the room!

The rapper was chatting with artist Tofu Jack and director/producer of Vice Documentaries, Dan Zabludovsky, from his native Jamaica when a 5.4 magnitude quake hit near Kingston.

Just as Sean chimed into the convo about the music biz, his camera started shaking and you could see the whole room tremble ... and then he quickly left the frame. You can hear the sound of things shifting around in his room as Dan and Tofu watched in shock.

After some movement, Sean Paul's feed disappears -- unclear if his internet cut out, or if those running the stream got rid of it, anticipating the worst ... but Tofu Jack accidentally brought a bit of humor to the tense situation by adding an ill-timed sound effect.

BTW, the earthquake was a pretty big one for Jamaica .. and it set off some panic, and caused some mild property damage on the island. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.

Sean Paul tuvo que detener una entrevista cuando un terremoto sacudió el edificio en el que se encontraba en ese momento... ¡Y salió corriendo de la sala!

El rapero estaba charlando con el artista Tofu Jack y el director y productor de Vice Documentaries, Dan Zabludovsky, desde su Jamaica natal, cuando se produjo un terremoto de magnitud 5,4 cerca de Kingston.

En el momento en que Sean intervino en la conversación sobre el mundo de la música, su cámara empezó a temblar y se pudo ver cómo temblaba toda la habitación. Luego salió rápidamente del encuadre. Se puede escuchar el sonido de las cosas moviendose alrededor y a Dan y Tofu en estado de shock.

Después de un poco de movimiento, el feed de Sean Paul desapareció. No está claro si su Internet se cortó o cual fue la razon, pero ya se estaba anticipando lo peor... pero Tofu Jack accidentalmente trajo un poco de humor a la tensa situación mediante la adición de un efecto de sonido inoportuno.

El terremoto fue bastante grande para Jamaica y desató algo de pánico. Además causó algunos daños materiales leves en la isla. Afortunadamente no se han reportado heridos.

The woman everyone called "Gorilla Glue Girl" -- after going viral for dangerously trading hairspray for the adhesive -- has big news, but it ain't another sticky fiasco ... she's engaged!

Tessica Brown tells TMZ ... she said "yes" to her boyfriend of over 2 years, Brymon Brocks. They first met at her dad's church and, clearly, hit it off.

We're told Brymon proposed to Tessica at her home in Violet, Louisiana on her birthday earlier this month ... and they're both extremely happy for the next chapter in their lives.

Who can forget Tessica's infamous moment in 2021 when she dropped jaws on TikTok ... saying her hair was rock solid for a month after using Gorilla Glue.

She told us at the time she was embarrassed and stressed over the whole thing and checked into an ER for help -- eventually needing surgical repairs on her scalp.

Congrats on the engagement, Tessica ... just make sure you hire someone to do your hair on the day of the wedding -- no more DIY disasters!!!

¡La mujer que todo el mundo llama "Gorilla Glue Girl", luego de convertirse en viral, tiene una gran noticia, y no tiene nada que ver con su cabello o con el pegamento "Gorilla Glue"... ¡Está comprometida!

Tessica Brown le dice a TMZ que ella le dijo "sí" a su novio de más de 2 años, Brymon Brocks. Se conocieron en la iglesia de su padre y, claramente, se gustaron.

Nos dicen que Brymon le propuso a Tessica en su casa en Violet, Louisiana en su cumpleaños a principios de este mes y ambos están muy felices por el próximo capítulo en sus vidas.

¿Quién puede olvidar aquel momento infame de Tessica en 2021 cuando dejó boquiabiertos a todos en TikTok, diciendo que su pelo era sólido como una roca luego de usar pegamento Gorilla durante un mes.

Ella nos dijo en el momento que estaba avergonzada y estresada por todo el asunto y que se registró en una sala de emergencias en busca de ayuda, con el tiempo va a necesitar reparaciones quirúrgicas en el cuero cabelludo.

Matthew Perry fue el gran tema del sábado, y Adele no se quedó atrás, y le rindió homenaje a la estrella de "Friends" durante su show en Las Vegas.

Adele llamó al personaje de Perry, Chandler Bing, "probablemente el mejor personaje cómico de todos los tiempos".

TMZ publicó la historia, Perry fue encontrado muerto en su jacuzzi el sábado a causa de un presunto ahogamiento.

Adele continuó: "Siempre es tan impactante, especialmente alguien que no conoces y que te hizo reír y trajo tanta alegría a tu vida. Esto es lo que me parece tan extraño, nunca lo conocí en mi vida. Hay algo... te sientes tan triste, especialmente porque no sabes necesariamente lo que estaba pasando".

Adele, vestida para Halloween como Morticia Adams, dedicó "When We Were Young" a Perry.

Adele dijo: "Él era tan abierto respecto a sus luchas contra la adicción y la sobriedad... creo que fue increíblemente, increíblemente valiente".

Matthew Perry was all people were talking about Saturday, and Adele was among them ... paying tribute to the "Friends" star during her Vegas show.

Adele called Perry's character, Chandler Bing, "probably the best comedic character of all time."

TMZ broke the story ... Perry was found dead in his jacuzzi Saturday from a presumed drowning.

Adele went on ... "It is always so shocking, especially someone that made you laugh and who brought so much joy to your life that you don't know. This is what I find so strange, I never met him in my life. There is something, you feel so sad about it especially because you don't necessarily know what was going on."

Adele, dressed for Halloween as Morticia Adams, dedicated "When We Were Young" to Perry.

Adele echoed what people have been saying since news of Perry's death broke, saying ... "He was so open with his struggles with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave."

A YouTuber's bodyguard punched a guy's lights out -- all of which was caught on video ... and which reeks of déjà vu considering he did this before while working for DaBaby.

We're talking about Jack Doherty, who's pretty famous among the Gen Z crowd ... and who posted a wild clip of a violent altercation that went down Friday night during what looks to be some sort of Halloween party here in L.A. alongside fellow YouTuber Corinna Kopf.

It looks like Jack was arguing with a couple guys who were rolling with Corinna and her crew -- all stemming from an apparent snub she dished out to Jack while at the party -- and they're all bickering back and forth for a while ... until this security dude rolls up.

Eventually, he confronts one of the fellas Jack's facing off with ... and they start to exchange words -- which ultimately ends with JD's hired muscle throwing a haymaker out of nowhere.

The guy who gets punched -- who's way smaller than the bodyguard -- falls straight to the ground ... and his friends (including Corinna) start to yell at the perpetrator, asking him why he did that. The bodyguard backs away and tries cussing them out in his defense.

Jack seemed happy to post the clip online, and he added "context" underneath ... writing, "they were pressing us," which seems to mean that the guys he was initially arguing with were threatening him. But based on the longer version of this incident ... that's iffy at best.

Now, here's the kicker ... this bodyguard was actually wrapped up in something similar a few years back while working for DaBaby -- something the Internet was quick to remember.

We actually covered this at the time ... DB was performing in New Orleans, when he started getting swarmed by fans as he waded into the crowd -- at which point, this same man (who was working for DaBaby) threw a similar punch ... only then, he KO'd a freaking lady.

A closer look shows it is, indeed, the same man ... and we've figured out who the hell he is. He goes by Kane Kongg on social media. He's a content creator himself -- but obviously does bodyguard work on the side for the rich and famous.

Taylor Swift's recent rerelease of her "1989" album is a big win -- not just for the new stuff, but for the old versions, too, which kinda defeats Taylor's original purpose for rerecording!

According to stats from Spotify and YouTube, the 2014 version of Taylor's iconic album had over 15 MILLION streams after Friday's release of 'Taylor's Version.' YouTube data specifically shows 2.8 million streams on its platform alone -- with a wide majority replaying her music videos like "Blank Space" and "Shake It Off."

On Spotify, she's racked up 12.5M streams for the old album, despite the new music being available ... "Style" was the winner with over 2.5M, while "Blank Space," came in a very close second. Other big hits were "Bad Blood" and "Wildest Dreams."

Amazon data shows CD sales also went through the roof  -- crazy, we know -- with her deluxe version selling 271% more than usual, while her traditional CD jumped up 189%.

That's not all in terms of physical media -- vinyl records of her OG album skyrocketed 210% as well .. moving its rank on the charts from 261 to 84.

Those astronomical increases might sound like great news -- but, remember, Taylor's only rerecording her first 6 albums because she wasn't able to buy the master recordings when Scooter Braun bought her former label, Big Machine.

La reciente reedición de Taylor Swift de su álbum "1989" ha resultado ser una gran victoria, no solo para el nuevo material, sino también para las versiones antiguas.

Según las estadísticas de Spotify y YouTube, la versión de 2014 del icónico álbum de Taylor tuvo más de 15 MILLONES de reproducciones tras el lanzamiento de "Taylor's Version" el viernes. Los datos de YouTube muestran específicamente 2,8 millones de reproducciones solo en su plataforma, con una amplia mayoría para sus videos"Blank Space" y "Shake It Off".

En Spotify, se registraron 12,5 millones de streams del antiguo álbum, a pesar de que la nueva música estaba disponible. "Style" fue la canción ganadora con más de 2.5M escuchas, mientras que "Blank Space" quedó muy cerca en el segundo lugar. Otros grandes éxitos fueron "Bad Blood" y "Wildest Dreams".

Los datos de Amazon muestran que las ventas en CD también se dispararon, una locura, lo sabemos. Su versión de lujo vendió un 271% más de lo habitual, mientras que su CD tradicional subió un 189%.

Eso no es todo en términos de medios físicos. Las ventas de vinilos de su álbum OG se dispararon 210%, moviendo su lugar en las listas del puesto 261 al 84.

Adidas shoulda seen Kanye West's antisemitic rants coming -- during one of his first meetings with the company, 11 years ago, he reportedly drew a swastika on a shoe sketch.

Shortly after signing on with the German sneaker giant in 2013, employees presented a bunch of shoe sketches to Kayne, which he did not like -- and, in response, he picked up a marker and drew a swastika over one of the sketches ... according to a NYT report.

That move shocked everyone in the room, especially because the meeting was reportedly going down close to Nuremberg, where Nazis infamously stood trial for war crimes after WW II.

Kanye set the bar with that move, though, because the NYT report claims, in future meetings,  he advised "a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Adolf Hitler every day" -- and repeatedly told other Adidas employees what a "master marketer" Hitler was, and praised his "command of propaganda."

Keep in mind, Adidas remained in the Yeezy biz for nearly 10 years, and made a ton of money with Kanye, until last year ... when he started publicly spewing his antisemitic beliefs.

Adidas reportedly tripled Kanye's salary during a 2016 contract negotiation but added a morals clause in the deal -- perhaps because it was, by then, well aware of his affinity for Hitler and the Nazis.

Adidas debe haber visto venir los desplantes antisemitas de Kanye West.  Un reporte revela que durante una de sus primeras reuniones con la empresa, hace once años, supuestamente dibujó una esvástica en un boceto de zapatillas.

Poco después de firmar con el gigante deportivo en 2012, los empleados le presentaron un montón de bocetos de zapatillas, que no le gustaron. En respuesta, Kanye cogió un rotulador y dibujó una esvástica sobre uno de los bocetos, según un reportaje del New York Times.

Ese movimiento conmocionó a todos en la sala, sobre todo porque la reunión se estaba llevando a cabo cerca de Nuremberg, donde los nazis infamemente fueron juzgados por crímenes de guerra después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Kanye sentó el tono con ese movimiento, porque el informe del NYT afirma que en futuras reuniones aconsejó a "un gerente judío de Adidas que besara una foto de Adolf Hitler todos los días", y repetidamente dijo a otros empleados de Adidas el gran genio que era Hitler en cuanto al marketing y elogió su "dominio de la propaganda."

Es importante tener en cuenta que Adidas se mantuvo en el negocio junto a Yeezy durante casi diez años e hizo una tonelada de dinero con Kanye hasta el año pasado, cuando comenzó a vomitar sus creencias antisemitas públicamente.

Adidas supuestamente triplicó el salario de Kanye durante una negociación de contrato en 2016, pero agregó una cláusula moral en el acuerdo, tal vez porque para entonces ya era muy consciente de su afinidad hacia Hitler y los nazis.
