Beyoncé is not letting haters dim her shine ... she's going even lighter in the face of accusations she's trying to look white ... and Jay-Z's supporting her.

The singer is doubling down on her platinum blonde hair and silver outfits across the pond in London ... where she's celebrating her 'Renaissance' movie premiere.

Beyonce's been dogged by accusations she's trying to “look white“ with her platinum hair ... but she‘s paying it no mind, based on what she wore out to dinner with her husband.

Ya gotta see Beyonce's super unique dress ... if you can call it that ... the design is extra heavy on silver, shine and bling.

Meanwhile, Jay is in a more traditional look for the fancy outing ... he's rocking a tuxedo.

As for the controversy, it all started when Beyonce was seen in a silver dress and platinum hair during the L.A. premiere of the movie ... with folks online going so far as to claim she's lightening her skin.

The comments didn't sit well with Tina Knowles ... she blasted the haters as racist bozos, defending Beyonce's look as part of the theme of her 'Renaissance' premier ... which is all about silver.

Dave Chappelle has a couple of U.S. Congresswomen full-on fangirling -- and since one of 'em is Rep. Lauren Boebert, ya couldn't blame Dave if he asked her to keep her hands in clear view!

Boebert and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna snapped a selfie alongside the comedian Thursday in the Capitol -- and the Colorado congresswoman turned the moment into a platform for her anti-LGBTQ views. She captioned her IG post, "Just three people who understand that there are only two genders 😄."

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ Dave had no intent on getting political with the photo op, and it was a spontaneous moment. He's in D.C. for an "Art is Activism" event at Duke Ellington School of the Arts ... which is, famously, Dave's high school alma mater.

We're told he went to meet some friends -- not politicians -- who work on Capitol Hill, and ended up running into several members of Congress, including Lauren and Anna, who scrambled for pics.

Ya gotta imagine Dave had a bunch of jokes bouncing around his head upon seeing Rep. Boebert -- considering all the buzz earlier this year when she was getting super handsy in the dark with her date at a Denver theatre. While watching "Beetlejuice," no less!

Teairra Marí says she's done with Keri Hilson's passive-aggressive attitude and wants to get fully aggressive -- as in serving Keri with a first-class butt kickin' for years of talking behind her back!!!

The R&Beef sizzled on Thursday when Teairra got wind of Keri's chat on Tank's podcast last month.

Keri recalled a time the Teairra was sitting in the front row at one of her concerts and was feeding her toxic "I-don't-wanna-be-here" energy while she was onstage.

The "Pretty Girl Rock" singer says it's important for artists to give one another love during performances, and Teairra was doing the complete opposite.

Teairra didn't take kindly to Keri's recollection of events, and then wrote a fiery threat in the "The Neighborhood Talk" comment section ... "Y'all, people gotta leave me alone. I don't bother anybody, just leave me the f*** alone.! so now, Keri! what's up you wanna fight or do you not want to fight because I'm gonna whoop your ass when I see you I'm sick of you people bothering me! You had a whole different story when I was in your face you're a liar bitch!!"

This battle probably won't be settled with the standard Verzuz setup. Teairra sounds like she wants to inflict pain on Keri by any means necessary!!!

1:28 PM -- Melvin Townsend's attorney, Jake Jondle, tells TMZ Sports his client has been dealing with a myriad of injuries since the Mike Tyson attack ... including a concussion, cervical radiculopathy, and impaired vision.

"Not only is the evidence clear that Mr. Tyson committed the intentional torts of assault and battery, but he also acted recklessly and negligently," Jondle said in a statement to us Thursday.

"Additionally, Mr. Tyson admitted on national television to attacking Mr. Townsend and never once claimed a legal justification for his actions, such as self-defense. He admitted he should not have attacked Mr. Townsend. Being irritated by a fan is not a legal defense to any of Mr. Townsend's claims."

Jondle added that his letter this week to Alex Spiro was sent as simply an effort to "engage in good-faith settlement discussions to attempt to resolve this claim prior to filing a lawsuit."

The man who Mike Tyson pummeled during a wild fight on a plane last year is now demanding the boxer pay him nearly half a million dollars to avoid a future lawsuit over the altercation.

But, the boxing legend's attorney, Alex Spiro, is adamant the whole thing is "a shakedown" attempt ... and insists absolutely no payment will be forthcoming.

A lawyer for Melvin Townsend -- the punch victim -- made the demands clear in a pre-litigation letter sent to Spiro earlier this week, according to the New York Post.

In the document, the lawyer -- Jake Jondle -- said Tyson could have used other remedies to diffuse the situation on the April 2022 JetBlue flight ... but instead "he chose physical violence" and "viciously assaulted" Townsend.

Jondle explained as a result of the attack, Townsend sustained a "severe headache" as well as neck pain ... and "is still suffering with the effects of the assault to this day."

Jondle wrote in the document that $450,000 from Tyson would help Townsend cover his legal bills ... as well as any future treatment Townsend would require.

According to Spiro, however, no such check will be written.

"I have received a shakedown letter related to some instigator's harassment of Mike a year ago and the aftermath," Spiro said in a statement. "There will be no shakedown payment."

Reps for Tyson had previously told TMZ Sports the entire incident happened because Townsend threw a water bottle at the former pugilist and annoyed him repeatedly. Tyson himself later said on his "Hotboxin" podcast that Townsend "was f***ing with me" prior to the incident.

For Townsend's part, Jondle said in his letter this week his client was simply "excited to see [Tyson] on the flight, began discussing the marijuana industry and psychedelic mushrooms with him, and Mr. Tyson became annoyed" and attacked.

Tyson's been in the clear criminally, meanwhile, for over a year ... as prosecutors declined to file charges against the ex-fighter in May 2022.

El hombre al que Mike Tyson golpeó durante una salvaje pelea en un avión el año pasado está exigiendo que el boxeador le pague casi medio millón de dólares para evitar una futura demanda por el altercado.

Sin embargo, el abogado de la leyenda del boxeo, Alex Spiro, insiste en que todo es un intento de "chantaje" del demandante e insiste en que no se efectuará ningún pago.

Un abogado de Melvin Townsend, víctima del puñetazo, dejó claras sus demandas en una carta de pre-litigio enviada a Spiro a principios de esta semana, según el New York Post.

En el documento, el abogado Jake Jondle dijo que Tyson podría haber utilizado otros recursos para calmar la situación en el vuelo de JetBlue de abril 2022, pero "eligió la violencia física" y agredió "viciosamente" a Townsend.

Jondle dijo que Townsend sufrió un "fuerte dolor de cabeza", así como dolor en el cuello como consecuencia del ataque y "todavía está sufriendo los efectos de la agresión".

Jondle escribió en el documento que los $450,000 de Tyson ayudarían a Townsend a cubrir sus facturas legales, así como cualquier otro tratamiento que requiera en el futuro.

Sin embargo, según Spiro, no se extenderá tal cheque.

"He recibido una carta de chantaje relacionada con el acoso de un instigador de Mike de hace un año", dijo Spiro en un comunicado. "No habrá pago indebido".

Representantes de Tyson le habían dicho previamente a TMZ Sports que todo el incidente ocurrió porque Townsend le tiró una botella de agua al ex pugilista y lo molestó repetidamente. El propio Tyson dijo más tarde en su podcast "Hotboxin" que Townsend "lo estuvo jodiendo" antes del incidente.

Desde la perspectiva de Townsend, Jondle dijo en su carta de esta semana que su cliente simplemente estaba "emocionado de ver [a Tyson] en el vuelo, comenzó a discutir sobre el negocio de la marihuana y los hongos psicodélicos y el Sr. Tyson se molestó" y atacó.

4:46 PM PT -- Ryan Shazier tells TMZ ... "Michelle and I have been living apart and are currently separated. As we work through what comes next for our family, I ask for privacy and prayers."

Ryan Shazier is a "liar and a cheater" ... this according to his wife, who just put the former NFL linebacker on blast by sharing raunchy text messages she claims he sent to another woman.

Michelle Shazier -- who has been with Ryan well before his career-ending spinal cord injury in 2017 -- unleashed on her husband in a since-deleted Instagram post on Wednesday ... saying, "A person that loves his family … this is what they do to their family … the WIFE.. that has been there for him since day 1!"

Michelle -- a former college basketball player who has raised two boys with the Pro Bowler -- posted multiple text exchanges allegedly between Ryan and a woman named Marie ... and while they initially start off as casual flirting, things eventually got more intense.

In fact, in one screenshot, a text exchange shows the person Michelle claims is Ryan sending links to books titled "The Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex For Women" and "Blow By Blow: A Step-by-Step Guide On How To Give Blow Jobs So Explosive That He Will Be Willing To Do Anything For You."

"Infidelity at its finest!" Michelle continued in her post. "I can’t sit here and keep hiding anymore . You can have it. I deserve better. 🤍 This is Ryan… he’s a liar and a cheater!"

Ryan and Michelle got married back in May 2019. He has yet to address the allegations.

Dr. Drew Pinsky says children swept up in the war between Israel and Hamas are going to be dealing with the fallout for the rest of their lives, because it could very well rewire their brains.

The famous doc joined us for Thursday's "TMZ Live" to discuss the youngest hostages Hamas released this week to Israel. Although they seem okay, outwardly, Dr. Drew says, there's potential for tremendous internal damage involving the development of their brains.

As the trauma builds, Dr. Drew says most kids will start to shut down and dissociate ... and many will have their brains shattered and rewired, creating lasting psychological harm.

And, he adds this painful prognosis doesn't only apply to the hostages ... Drew says the ongoing conflict can have the same impact on children living in Gaza, surrounded by death and destruction.

Add in the fact some of these kids are coming off another traumatic experience during COVID shutdowns, and Dr. Drew explains why it's a toxic mix for youth.

El Dr. Drew dice que los niños barridos en la guerra en el Oriente Medio van a estar tratando con las consecuencias por el resto de sus vidas, porque el trauma va a recablear sus cerebros.

El famoso doc se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos por los niños en Gaza, ya que están rodeados de muerte y destrucción.

El Dr. Drew dice que el conflicto en curso tendrá un profundo impacto en los cerebros en desarrollo y no sólo para aquellos que fueron capturados y mantenidos como rehenes.

A medida que el trauma se acumula, el Dr. Drew dice que la mayoría de los niños comenzarán a cerrar y a disociar y muchos tendrán sus cerebros destrozados y recableados, creando un daño psicológico duradero.

Añadir en el hecho de que algunos de estos niños están saliendo de otra experiencia traumática durante el COVID y el Dr. Drew explica por qué esto es una mezcla tóxica para los jóvenes.

University of Minnesota Duluth football player Reed Ryan tragically died on Tuesday ... after collapsing during a workout earlier this month, his family announced.

He was just 22 years old.

According to an obituary written by family members, the 6-foot-3, 241-pound defensive end was training in a weight room on Nov. 21 "doing what he loved" ... when he suddenly went into cardiac arrest.

The family says school officials began life-saving measures ... and after they regained the football player's pulse, he was rushed to the ICU. Sadly, he passed away seven days later.

Ryan's family explained in their obituary the medical emergency was all due to "an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart."

"Reed had a contagious smile and lived life to the fullest in his short years," Reed's family wrote. "Reed loved people, he could talk to anyone and prided himself on being surrounded by friends, family, mentors, and being part of a team."

Reed starred at Waunakee High School in Wisconsin before he accepted a full-ride to North Dakota State University. He played four seasons for the Bison before he transferred to the University of Minnesota Duluth. In his one year for the Bulldogs, Ryan logged eight total tackles and one sack.

"Our staff and players are devastated about Reed's passing," UMD head football coach Curt Wiese said in a statement. "Reed aspired to be better every day at whatever task was at hand. He helped bring out the best in others with his positive attitude, infectious smile, and genuine care for the people around him."

NDSU football added in a statement on X on Wednesday that Ryan was "the ultimate teammate, a constant source of joy, a genuine selfless spirit, and a beloved friend."

"We'll miss you, Reed," the Bison wrote. "Your legacy will live on."

Diontae Johnson is owning up to his lack of effort in the middle of the Steelers' matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals ... saying he addressed the situation with his teammates and vowed to do better moving forward.

The 27-year-old wide receiver faced a ton of backlash for seemingly giving up in the middle of a play during Pittsburgh's 16-10 win on Sunday ... with game footage showing him appearing uninterested in going for the ball after Jaylen Warren fumbled in the first quarter.

Johnson spoke with reporters about the now-viral lowlight on Wednesday ... and he's looking to get past the whole ordeal.

"I addressed the situation with my teammates," Johnson told the media. "They know how I feel and how I feel about the situation. I'm not perfect. All I can do is move forward and just keep playing football."

Johnson -- who was pissed he messed up on a potential touchdown catch on the previous play -- explained he does not want to be judged based on one moment ... and he promised to prove it with his play from here on out.

La situación financiera de Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann es tan grave que la familia está recurriendo a anuncios de embarazo falsos relacionados con Brielle Biermann como una manera de hacer dinero.

Así es la cosa; en un post en redes sociales, Kim sugirió fuertemente que su hija Brielle estaba embarazada, compartiendo un sonograma y diciendo que estaba "TAN EXCITADA DE SER ABUELA".

Kim desactivó los comentarios en el post y compartió un artículo de noticias clickbait que dice: "¡Oh bebé! Brielle Biermann nos habló acerca de tener hijos y de cómo se siente acerca de que su mamá, Kim Zolciak, se convierta en abuela".

Resulta que todo es falso y es solo una idea de Kim para hacer dinero rápido.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que Brielle no está realmente embarazada, a pesar de la postura de Kim sugiriendo lo contrario. Esta es la razón por la que Kim está recibiendo un soborno financiero del artículo clickbait.

Las luchas financieras de Kim y Kroy han sido bien documentadas a partir del supuesto millón que le deben al IRS y varias demandas en su contra por facturas pendientes de pago.

Como te contamos por primera vez; a principios de este mes, Kim fue demandada por Bank of America por más de $50K en deudas de tarjetas de crédito. Kim también fue demandada en agosto por SAKS/CAPITAL ONE por no pagar una factura de tarjeta de crédito de $156K.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's financial situation is so dire the family is turning to trick pregnancy announcements involving Brielle Biermann as a way to make money.

Here's the deal ... in a social media post, Kim strongly suggested daughter Brielle was pregnant, sharing a sonogram and saying she was "SO EXCITED TO BE A GRANDMA."

Kim turned comments off on the post and it links back to a clickbait news article reading, "Oh baby! Brielle Biermann spilled to us about having kids and how she feels about her mom Kim Zolciak becoming a grandma."

Turns out, it's all bogus and just a way for Kim to make a quick buck.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Brielle isn't actually pregnant despite Kim's post suggesting otherwise, and Kim is getting a financial kickback from the clickbait article.

Kim and Kroy's financial struggles have been well documented ... starting with the alleged $1 million they owe the IRS and various lawsuits against them for unpaid bills.

As we first told you ... earlier this month Kim was sued by Bank of America for over $50K in credit card debt. Kim was also sued in August by SAKS/CAPITAL ONE for failing to pay a $156K credit card bill.

11/27 5:49 PM PT -- We've obtained video showing the 26-year-old streaker being swiftly carried away from the "It's A Small World" ride by police ... all while hog-tied and completely nude. They attempted to cover the man with a blanket as they carried him through the park ... to no avail.

11/27 10:34 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us the 26-year-old man was arrested for indecent exposure and being under the influence. He was then taken to a hospital to get checked out ... but was eventually booked for the two misdemeanors.

4:53 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... this wayward guest was immediately removed from Disneyland following the incident. In other words, he's long gone.

A streaker stripped down at Disneyland and started crawling all over the place during the 'It's a Small World' ride ... this while folks were stuck in their boats and staring in shock.

Check out these wild videos that are making the rounds online right now ... apparently, this happened within the past couple hours or so -- although it's a little unclear what exactly precipitated this. In any case, it left guests with their mouths open ... rightly so.

From what we can gather from reports/accounts, the attraction was shut down for a bit Sunday -- and, apparently, during that pause ... this fella hopped out of his boat, undressed and started monkeying around near the actual robots and all the elaborate set pieces.

In one video, you can hear somebody yelling at him to stop and get down ... warning him of the danger he was dabbling in. Of course, he didn't listen ... and kept on scurrying about.

At some point, somebody snapped him outside of the ride ... and it looks like he went for the full birthday suit look out in the sunshine.

The jury's out on whether this man has been apprehended yet ... but ya gotta imagine it's only a matter of time. We've reached out to Disneyland for comment, so far no word back.

Shield your eyes, children ... there's naked weirdos roaming, and they're baring it all!

Aquí hay una historia loca -- Dominique Wilkins abrió recientemente un paquete de antiguas tarjetas de la NBA... y para su suerte, ¡¡sacó su propia tarjeta de novato!!

Todo esto fue documentado en video... cuando la leyenda de los Hawks se unió al director general de OTIA Sports, Jason Koonce, para romper un lote sin abrir de tarjetas de baloncesto Fleer de 1986 con la esperanza de encontrar una tarjeta de novato de Michael Jordan en el paquete.

Para su información -- la serie Fleer de 1986 está repleta de tarjetas de novatos de la época... incluidos MJ, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon y, por supuesto, Dominique Wilkins.

El tirón fue bastante divertido -- el "Human Hightlight Film" recordó cómo jugó contra varios jugadores a medida que iba desvelando la baraja... que contenía grandes nombres como Magic Johnson, Larry Bird y Bill Walton.

Una vez que Wilkins se topó con su propia cara, el grupo de chicos empezó a alborotarse... con Koonce jurando hasta la extenuación que la carta no había sido plantada.

"Esto estaba sellado, no estaba planeado", dijo Koonce en el video. "Eso es una locura".

"Por la vida de mis hijos, ¡esto no fue montado!"

La tarjeta podría tener un alto valor dependiendo de su estado... ¡algunas en muy buen estado se cotizan actualmente en internet por miles de dólares!

Here's a crazy story -- Dominique Wilkins opened a pack of old NBA cards recently ... and as luck would have it, he pulled his own rookie card!!

The whole thing was documented on video ... when the Hawks legend joined OTIA Sports CEO Jason Koonce to break an unopened batch of 1986 Fleer basketball cards in hopes of finding a Michael Jordan rookie in the pack.

FYI -- the '86 Fleer set is filled with a ton of rookie cards of that era ... including MJ, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon and, of course, Dominique Wilkins.

The pull was pretty cool -- the Human Highlight Film reminisced about playing against several players as he revealed the deck ... which featured big names like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Bill Walton.

Once Wilkins came across his own face, the group of guys started freaking out ... with Koonce swearing up and down the card was not planted.

"This was sealed, this was not planned," Koonce said in the video. "That is insane."

"On my kid's life, that was not set up!"

The card could be pretty valuable depending on its condition ... some in great shape are currently listed online for thousands of dollars!!

La hija de Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, ha sido una constante en casi todos los conciertos de su gira 'Renaissance' este año -- y ha mejorado su forma en el escenario... todo gracias a los detractores.

Tras el estreno de la película de su concierto este fin de semana, el NYT hizo una reseña de la película y citó a Queen Bay diciendo... la colaboración de BI en la gira tenía la finalidad de ser temporal únicamente, un acuerdo de una sola vez... pero se convirtió en constante después de que su hija se retractara.

Y añadió: "Aunque al final cedió, Beyoncé se sintió consternada cuando Blue Ivy leyó los comentarios en las redes sociales que criticaban sus deslucidos movimientos. Pero emocionó a su madre que, en lugar de renunciar, decidió esforzarse y entrenar aún más duro para futuras paradas".

Esta noticia ha causado gran revuelo en las redes sociales... la mitad de Twitter está indignada de que tanta gente criticara brutalmente a la niña de 11 años al principio de la gira, pero otros están haciendo uso de esto como prueba de la resiliencia/talento de Blue Ivy -- porque es una mucho mejor bailarina ahora.

Han circulado por Internet imágenes de su actuación, de sus actuaciones en Europa ... y sí, se puede observar una gran diferencia entre su actuación en aquel entonces y la de los últimos conciertos.

El debate ahora se concentra en si la dura evaluación de sus habilidades en aquel momento estaban justificadas o no -- algunos piensan que BI se merecía el 100 % de las críticas que recibió, argumentando que si se pone bajo los reflectores (junto a su madre, nada menos) es un juego limpio. Otros piensan que la niña se merecía un respiro.
