Los aficionados a las teorías conspirativas de "criaturas extraterrestres" se están volviendo locos en las redes después de ver un video que parece mostrar una figura fuera de este mundo caminando cerca de los carros de policía durante un operativo de emergencia ... y ahora tenemos algunas respuestas en cuanto a lo que realmente pasó.

Este es el asunto. Una creciente teoría conspirativa en las redes sugiere que este operativo policial en Miami, realizado el día de Año Nuevo, no es lo que parece, y las personas están apuntando a un registro en particular, que dicen que muestra a una extraña figura en movimiento cerca de los carros de policía.

La persona que publicó el video dice que hizo Zoom en algunos videos de TikTok y encontró una "criatura gris".

Sin embargo, el portavoz de la policía de Miami le dice a TMZ: "Lo que se ve en este clip es la sombra de alguien caminando. Si nos fijamos en la parte inferior de la sombra, se puede ver a la persona. No hay criatura".

Así que eso es todo, y en cuanto a cómo empezó este rumor, la gente pensó que la gran cantidad de carros de policía en la escena era mucho más de lo necesario. Los policías fueron llamados al centro comercial por un grupo de adolescentes que estaba peleando, lanzando fuegos artificiales y causando el caos en el centro comercial. Pero hay informes de que algunos pensaron que los fuegos artificiales eran disparos, lo que probablemente desencadenó la respuesta masiva de la policía.

Un hombre en Filadelfia falleció luego de ser atropellado por un tren, y terminó en las vías por estar luchando con otro hombre mientras estaba en la plataforma del metro.

El video muestra a los dos hombres peleando en la estación, cuando uno de ellos recibe un puñetazo y cae a las vías justo cuando el tren está llegando y atropella su cuerpo.

Las personas que vieron el incidente empezaron a gritar y se acercaron corriendo a buscar su cuerpo bajo el tren.

La policía dice que el hombre murió en el incidente y que una persona de interés fue detenida en la siguiente estación.

La fatal pelea ocurrió el jueves por la noche en la estación de la calle 34, en el área de la ciudad universitaria de Filadelfia. Esta se encuentra entre los campus de la Universidad de Pensilvania y la Universidad de Drexel.

La policía dice que están investigando la muerte del hombre como un homicidio.

El incidente ya está causando un dolor de cabeza para los viajeros de la ciudad. Cuando el servicio de tren se detiene en la zona, la gente es obligada a subirse a los autobuses para llegar a donde tengan que ir.

A man in Philadelphia is dead after being run over by a train ... and he ended up on the tracks because he was fighting another man while they were on the subway platform.

Video shows two men fighting in the subway station when one guy takes a punch and falls down onto the tracks just as a train is pulling in and runs over his body.

Folks who saw the incident play out start screaming and rush over to look for his body under the train.

Police say the man died in the incident, and a person of interest was arrested at the next station.

The fatal fight went down Thursday evening at 34th Street Station in Philly's University City area ... which is between the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.

Cops say they are investigating the man's death as a homicide.

It's already causing a headache for commuters ... train service is stopped in the area and folks are instead being forced to hop on buses to get where they need to go.

If people risking jail time for a mug -- like some are to nab a limited edition Stanley Quencher Starbucks cup -- here's what ya gotta know ... they're making tons of money on the resale market.

It's pretty wild, and a sign of the times ... the pink cups retail for $49.95 at Starbucks branches inside Targets, and folks who've been able to snag them are turning around, and hawking them online for hundreds of dollars.

The resellers are working hard for that big payday, though ... the only way to get the cups seems to be camping outside Target for hours, or fighting through massive crowds in scenes straight out of Black Friday.

Other people are going to even greater lengths to try and cash in -- like the guy who hopped a counter and tried, unsuccessfully, to steal a whole box of the pink goodies.

On eBay, the pink cups are going for $250 to $280 ... and Mercari has them on sale for $225 to $300.

Social media is a factor too ... Stanley cups are wildly popular on Instagram and TikTok ... so there's huge demand and limited supply.

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was told to paint famed attorney Alan Dershowitz as a pedophile to make a book about her sex abuse claims more appealing to publishers ... according to newly unsealed court documents.

The docs, obtained by TMZ, include email correspondence between Giuffre and U.K. journalist Sharon Churcher from May 2011 ... Giuffre is telling Churcher she found a ghostwriter to pen her story, and says, "I wanted to put the names of these a**holes, oops I meant to say, pedo's, that J.E. sent me to."

Churcher's response ... "Don't forget Alan Dershowitz... JE's buddy and lawyer -good name for your pitch as he repped Claus von Bulow and a movie was made about that case."

Churcher added ... "We all suspect Alan is a pedo and tho no proof on that, you probably met him when he was hanging out with JE."

Attorneys for Esptein's close associate Ghislaine Maxwell -- who Guiffre is suing -- allege Giuffre only added Dershowitz to her manuscript after that exchange with Churcher ... but, even then, Giuffre did not allege she had sex with him, and only referred to Dershowitz as Epstein's business acquaintance.

According to the docs, Giuffre did not accuse Dershowitz of having sex with her until years later ... December 2014. Dershowitz has always denied that allegation.

Another email between Giuffre and Churcher includes an allegation about Bill Clinton and Vanity Fair.

Giuffre writes ... "When i was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E."

A la víctima de Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre se le dijo que pintara al famoso abogado Alan Dershowitz como un pedófilo para hacer más atractivo para los editores el libro sobre sus denuncias de abuso sexual, esto, de acuerdo a los documentos judiciales recientemente desclasificados.

Los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, incluyen correspondencia electrónica entre Giuffre y la periodista británica Sharon Churcher de mayo de 2011. Giuffre le dice a Churcher que encontró un escritor fantasma para escribir su historia y añade: "Yo quería poner los nombres de estos a**holes (idiotas), oops quise decir, pedo's, que J.E. me envió".

La respuesta de Churcher: "No te olvides de Alan Dershowitz, amigo y abogado de JE -buen nombre para tu lanzamiento, ya que representó a Claus von Bulow y se hizo una película sobre ese caso".

Churcher añadió: "Todos sospechamos que Alan es un pedófilo y aunque no hay pruebas de ello, probablemente lo conociste cuando salía con JE".

Los abogados del socio cercano de Esptein, Ghislaine Maxwell -a quien Guiffre está demandando- alegan que Giuffre solo añadió a Dershowitz a su manuscrito después de ese intercambio con Churcher, pero incluso entonces, Giuffre no alegó que haya tenido relaciones sexuales con él y solo se refirió a Dershowitz como un conocido de negocios de Epstein.

Según los documentos, Giuffre no acusó a Dershowitz de tener relaciones sexuales con ella hasta años más tarde, en diciembre de 2014. Dershowitz siempre ha negado esa acusación.

Otro correo electrónico entre Giuffre y Churcher incluye una acusación sobre Bill Clinton y Vanity Fair.

Giuffre escribe: "Cuando estaba haciendo algunas investigaciones sobre VF ayer, me preocupa lo que podrían querer escribir sobre mí, teniendo en cuenta que Bill Clinton entró en VF y los amenazó con no escribir artículos de tráfico sexual sobre su buen amigo J.E."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard says she's a totally different person from when she started her prison stay, but reveals she's become the woman she always dreamed she'd be.

ABC News' "Good Morning America" scored the first TV sit-down interview with the famous felon, who says she got tons of life experience during her 7 years behind bars.

In the clip, obtained exclusively by TMZ, Gypsy tells "20/20" co-anchor and ABC's senior national affairs correspondent, Deborah Roberts that prison time taught her life lessons, and she's super proud of the woman it helped to shape post-prison life.

The way Gypsy sees it ... she matured through trial and error in prison just like everyone else, even those people outside prison walls.

Of course, most of her personal life from behind bars is now public ... especially her romance with husband, Ryan, who she married during lockup. As we reported, haters attacked Ryan and Gypsy, but she stood by her man ... and his game in the bedroom.

Ryan also joined Gypsy for the GMA interview.

The limited-edition Stanley Cup fever has officially reached new heights ... with a desperate man jumping over the counter at a Target's Starbucks stall to steal a whole box of them.

Unclear which store it happened at ... but the footage picks up as the man kicks his way out of the coffee stall with the goods in hand. Almost immediately, bystanders and potentially store security step in ... with one person wrestling him to the ground.

The box is eventually pried out of the would-be thief's hands after a scuffle on the floor ... but the man appears to walk out of the store with one of the hot pink 40-ounce Stanley tumblers.

Stanley's special-edition cups, co-designed with Starbucks, were released Wednesday ... kickstarting mass chaos nationwide as tumbler enthusiasts pulled out all the stops to get their hands on them -- as seen in other viral clips.

Thirty-seven hours and 2,627 strokes later, Barstool Sports personality Jersey Jerry finally did it -- he hit a hole-in-one on a golf simulator ... after huge names like Tom Brady rallied behind the guy on his grueling journey.

For those who haven't been keeping up, the beloved Barstool employee does weekly challenges on his "Jerry After Dark" show ... and this time around, he tasked himself with playing virtual golf until he carded an ace.

As it turns out, Jerry's self-imposed quest was a LOT harder than expected ... and he quickly lost hope in achieving the feat.

Some big stars in the sports world voiced their support for Jerry -- golfers Brooks Koepka and Max Homa ... and even TB12 himself, who sent an encouraging X post to stay the course.

"It's darkest before dawn," the 7-time Super Bowl champ said Thursday morning.

Just minutes later, the moment of glory happened -- Jerry hit his perfect shot, and the entire room erupted in celebration.

Even the PGA Tour chimed in on the accomplishment ... congratulating JJ on the "LegenJerry" performance.

Jerry gave a speech shortly after reaching glory ... and naturally, the diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan used it as an opportunity to ask T.J. Watt out to dinner.

"T.J. Watt, listen," an emotional and fatigued Jerry said. "I love you so much, bro. We couldn't make dinner happen last year, my dream is to have dinner with T.J. It could be one-on-one, it could be multiple people. I don't care. I just want to have a nice steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus, mac and cheese with T.J. Watt."

Dunking is definitely in Bronny James's DNA ... the star USC freshman looked just like his pops LeBron as he threw down a rim-rocking alley-oop during Wednesday's game!

The 4-star recruit added a highlight to his college basketball reel during the first half of USC's home game against California at the Galen Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Trojans star and future top lottery pick Isaiah Collier stole the ball and pushed down the court, throwing a sweet lob to Bronny for the two-handed jam.

The crowd went crazy!

James ended up dropping 10 points in the 82-74 win, their 7th of the season.

Bronny, since debuting for USC in mid-December, is averaging 7.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.

It wasn't just college hoops fans who went wild over the dunk ... so did dad. LeBron posted video on his Instagram like a proud papa.

Watching the clip, you surely see similarities -- especially in the number 6 jersey -- with how the James' move ... despite Bronny being a few inches shorter than his father.

Not to play favorites with his kids, the NBA legend also shared a highlight from his younger son, Sierra Canyon star Bryce James, who also dunked in his game last night ... which the Trailblazers won 91-52.

Una jueza de Las Vegas recibió una paliza mientras sentenciaba el miércoles a un hombre por delito de lesiones... el convicto se soltó y la tiró al suelo.

El demencial incidente tuvo lugar en el Tribunal del Distrito del Condado de Clark, donde la jueza —Mary Kay Holthus— estaba dictando sentencia contra Deobra Redden, de 30 años. Al parecer, el abogado de Redden le pidió a Holthus que le diera a su cliente la libertad condicional, pero ella no cedió.

Después de  que Holthus hiciera un comentario acerca de la necesidad de "conseguir una probada de algo más", Redden saltó sobre el banco y la atacó, causando el caos en la sala del tribunal.

Varias personas, entre ellas el alguacil, intervinieron rápidamente para someter a Redden mientras continuaban los gritos y las peleas, algunos incluso dieron puñetazos a Redden antes de que la locura llegara a su fin.

Fuentes le dijeron a 8 News Now que la jueza Holthus se golpeó la cabeza, pero estaba bien después de la terrible experiencia.

Redden ha tenido una serie de encontrones con la ley, e incluso ha estado ante la jueza Holthus en el pasado.

Anteriormente estuvo ante ella para hacerle frente a cargos de destrucción de la propiedad y también cumplió un año de prisión por un cargo de agresión doméstica por separado.

A Las Vegas judge took a beating as she sentenced a man Wednesday for felony battery -- the convict broke free, and viciously took her down to the ground.

The insane incident went down at Clark County District Court, where Judge Mary Kay Holthus was giving 30-year-old Deobra Redden his sentence. Redden's attorney reportedly asked Holthus to give his client probation, but she wasn't budging.

After Holthus made a comment about him needing to "get a taste of something else," Redden leaped over the bench and attacked her, causing chaos in the courtroom.

Multiple people, including the bailiff, quickly stepped in to subdue Redden as screaming and fighting continued -- some even landed punches on Redden before the madness came to an end.

Sources told 8 News Now that Judge Holthus hit her head, but was alright after the scary ordeal.

Redden reportedly has had a number of run-ins with the law, and has even been before Judge Holthus in the past.

He was previously in front of her to face destruction of property charges, and he also served a year in prison on a separate domestic battery charge.

El juego de rol para móvil de Kim Kardashian está cerrando sus puertas virtuales, marcando el final de la aplicación casi una década después de que se puso en marcha.

Kim le dice a TMZ: "Estoy muy agradecida desde el fondo de mi corazón con todos los que han amado y jugado Kim Kardashian Hollywood los últimos 10 años. Este viaje ha significado mucho para mí, pero me he dado cuenta de que es hora de concentrar mi energía en otras pasiones. Quiero dar las gracias al equipo de Glu y a las muchas personas que han trabajado entre bastidores para que esto fuera un éxito. Estaré siempre inspirada por esta comunidad que hemos construido juntos".

Por cierto, la gente que entra en el juego de Kim y Glu Mobile, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood", se encuentra ahora con una alerta sobre el próximo cierre del juego, diciendole a los jugadores que el juego "ya no ofrece compras dentro de la aplicación y ha sido retirado de las tiendas de aplicaciones".

Así es, ni siquiera puedes comprar el juego si estás interesado, porque ha desaparecido por completo de las tiendas de aplicaciones de Apple y Android.

Por suerte, el aviso dice que los jugadores pueden seguir utilizando las funciones del juego hasta el 8 de abril: "después de eso el juego será inaccesible. Gracias por apoyar Kim Kardashian: Hollywood". También tiene un temporizador de cuenta atrás, lo que lleva al cierre.

Para aquellos que no lo saben, Kim y Glu se asociaron para lanzar el juego de 2014 que llevó a los jugadores a un viaje al estrellato de la lista vip, con el objetivo de ganar fans haciendo cosas como actuar, modelar, hacer apariciones en clubes y citas.

También tenía una moneda en el juego llamada K-estrellas, que ayudaría a los jugadores a progresar. La aplicación hizo $1.6 millones solo 5 días después de su lanzamiento el 27 de junio, a pesar de terminar con algunas críticas mixtas.

Kim Kardashian's mobile roleplaying game is closing its virtual doors ... marking the end of the app nearly a decade after it went live.

Kim tells TMZ, "I'm so grateful from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has loved and played Kim Kardashian: Hollywood in the past 10 years. This journey has meant so much to me but I’ve realized that it’s time to focus that energy into other passions. I want to thank the Glu team and the many people behind the scenes who have worked diligently on making it a success. I will be forever inspired by this community that we built together."

BTW, folks logging on to Kim and Glu Mobile's game, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," have now been met with an alert about the game's upcoming shutdown -- telling players the game "no longer offers in-app purchases and has been removed from app stores."

That's right, ya can't even go get the game for yourself if you're now interested, because it's completely vanished from Apple and Android's app stores.

Luckily, the notice says gamers can continue to use the game's features until April 8 ... "after which the game will become inaccessible. Thank you for supporting Kim Kardashian: Hollywood!" It's also got a countdown timer, leading to the shutdown.

For those unaware, KK and Glu teamed up to release the 2014 game which took players on a journey to A-list stardom ... with the goal of gaining fans by doing things like acting, modeling, making club appearances, and dating.

It also had an in-game currency called K-stars that would help players progress -- and the app made $1.6 million just 5 days after its June 27 release, despite ending up with some mixed reviews.

1:53 PM  PST -- The family just posted a second video of the little girl ... saying despite what the internet might think, they were NOT the ones who gave her the Slim Tea. Instead, they say it was sent from a "supporter" of their video page.

A clip of parents hoping to motivate their young daughter to lose weight -- by gifting her Slim Tea for Christmas -- is repulsing people viewing the clip on social media.

Take a look for yourself -- the excited youngster unwraps the gift to unveil a box of the slimming aid ... she's clearly too young to understand what it is, though her older siblings immediately catch on, and throw their parents looks of disgust.

Despite the siblings knowing the gift is inappropriate for a young child -- the dad behind the camera is undeterred, as he urges his youngest to be grateful for the gift.

The video shared to X drew intense scrutiny ... with one person commenting the parents bullying the girl for her weight was disgusting, as they were the ones responsible for feeding her in the first place.

Others say they've taken her childhood away from her ... making her aware of her body from a young age, and entitling people to comment on it by sharing it on social media.

When it comes to slim teas, the FDA doesn't recognize them as being effective -- and its key ingredients like caffeine and senna, which claim to detox the body, also don't have much evidence in aiding weight loss.

So, the video's disheartening on several levels -- the parents providing misinformation and possibly poor nutrition, but also the psychological impact on their young daughter.

Un clip de unos padres que le regalan Slim Tea a su hija para Navidad, con la esperanza de motivarla a bajar de peso, está causando repulsión entre los usuarios de redes sociales.

Echa un vistazo tú mismo, la emocionada chica aparece desenvolviendo su regalo hasta que descubre que es una caja de té para ayudarla a adelgazar. Ella es claramente demasiado joven para entender lo que es, aunque sus hermanos mayores inmediatamente se dan cuenta y le lanzan a sus padres miradas de disgusto.

A pesar de que los hermanos saben que el regalo es inapropiado para una niña, el padre detrás de la cámara ni se inmuta e insta a la pequeña a ser agradecida por el regalo.

El video compartido en X atrajo un intenso escrutinio. Una persona comentó que era repugnante que los padres intimiden a la niña por su peso cuando son ellos los responsables de su alimentación en primera instancia.

Otros dicen que le han quitado su infancia, haciéndola consciente de su cuerpo desde ya y dándole derecho a la gente a comentar sobre ella al compartirlo en las redes sociales.

Cuando se trata de tés adelgazantes, la FDA tampoco los reconoce como eficaces y sus ingredientes clave, como la cafeína y el sen, que dicen desintoxicar el cuerpo, tampoco tienen mucha evidencia de que ayuden a perder peso.
