Flavor Flav fue corregido rápidamente por Miley Cyrus cuando accidentalmente la llamó Gwen Stefani y recibió una bofetada en la cara, pero todo en buena onda, dice.

El rapero de Public Enemy habló sobre el incidente en un reciente episodio de "Just B con Bethenny Frankel", donde reveló que se encontró con Miley hace varios años, cuando ella y Gwen aparentemente tenían cortes de pelo similares.

Flav dijo que estaba muy emocionado de conocer a Gwen y corrió hacia ella, pero en realidad terminó hablando accidentalmente con Miley en su lugar.

Él dice que Miley Cyrus actuó super cool y le siguió la corriente durante la conversación, mientras él alababa todo el trabajo de Gwen Stefani. Fue embarazoso para Flavor Flav cuando su amigo le dijo más tarde que en realidad era Miley.

Flavor Flav dice que fue directamente a disculparse con ella, añadiendo, por supuesto, que la conocía y también a su padre Billy Ray, y ahí fue cuando recibió la bofetada en la cara.

Él dice que el momento no creó ninguna animosidad, en cambio, él y Miley se rieron e incluso se reunieron en el backstage de los Premios Grammy de este año.

Pero, Miley no pudo resistirse a darle a Flav un poco de reproche por el error en su identidad.

Se hizo viral un video de su encuentro donde los dos aparecen abrazándose mientras Miley bromea que solía llamarla siempre Gwen, una señal de que esto aún está en su mente.

Flavor Flav got corrected quickly by Miley Cyrus when he accidentally called her Gwen Stefani ... getting a swift slap to the face -- but one all in good fun he says.

The Public Enemy rapper talked about the incident on a recent episode of "Just B with Bethenny Frankel" ... where he revealed he ran into her several years ago when she and Gwen apparently had similar haircuts.

Flav said he got super excited to meet Gwen and ran up to her ... only to find himself accidentally speaking to Miley instead.

He says MC played it super cool, just going along with it during the convo as he lauded her for all of GS' work ... an embarrassing moment for FF when his friend later told her it was actually Miley.

Flavor Flav says he went right up to Miley to apologize, adding of course he knew her and her dad Billy Ray ... which is when he got the smack right across his face.

He says the moment didn't create any animosity ... instead, he and Miley laughed off the moment, and the two even met up backstage of the Grammy Awards this year.

But, Miley couldn't resist giving Flav a little bit of guff over the past mistaken identity.

A video went viral from their meetup which showed the two hugging it out while Miley joked he always used to call him Gwen ... so, clearly this is still stuck in her mind.

Bobbi Althoff's leaked AI deepfake video nearly broke the internet recently ... and even though she called it fake as hell, TMZ knows how the technology fooled thousands.

Paul Dawes, CEO of More.AI, gave TMZ the lowdown ... saying it scours all available 2D footage to find patterns to create original content. In Bobbi's case, there's already a ton of online content for AI to use as a basis for creating the deepfake vid.

The same goes for other celebs, politicians, and any branded entities ... all prime targets for AI manipulation.

AI programs have a harder time deepfaking 3D images ... but judging how quickly things are evolving with the technology, it's only a matter of time before it masters that too.

What's more ... a lot of these AI programs are open-source, so even if a company shuts down, the open-source code is still available for the public to use. Yikes.

Of course, he reminds us social media has a big responsibility in controlling the content being distributed. Unfortunately, online platforms are inundated with all sorts of offending content without much oversight.

For now, he says the best we can do is buy enough time so regulatory tools can prevent people from being subjected to sexually explicit images of their likenesses.

Of course, AI has already violated the privacy of Bobbi and many others ... so the misuse of AI-generated content is definitely a concerning issue in the new age of the internet.

Un globo de gran altitud y no identificado fue visto volando por los cielos de Estados Unidos y su presencia ha sido lo suficientemente preocupante como para involucrar a los militares ¿Suena como un déjà vu?

El gobierno de Estados Unidos está rastreando el globo errante, dijeron funcionarios estadounidenses a CBS News, añadiendo que, si bien su origen y propósito aún son desconocidos, han determinado que no es una amenaza.

Las fuentes dicen que el globo anónimo ha estado en movimiento y a la deriva hacia el este en la corriente en chorro. Un funcionario reveló que estaba sobre Colorado el viernes por la mañana.

Por supuesto, este no es el primer encuentro de Estados Unidos con un globo. Se acordarán de que un globo espía chino estuvo flotando por los cielos en febrero de 2023 y tenía a todos hablando del tema. Ahora, un año más tarde, parece que hay otro de ellos en lo alto.

Al parecer, el globo espía estaba flotando alrededor de 40.000 pies cuando fue derribado en aguas territoriales de Estados Unidos frente a la costa de Carolina del Sur por la USAF bajo las órdenes del presidente Biden.

China estaba súper enojada y condenó el derribo del globo como una "reacción excesiva". Las tensiones diplomáticas se dispararon inmediatamente, ¡tan alto como esos globos!

An unidentified high-altitude balloon has been spotted flying over the U.S. -- and its presence has been concerning enough to get the military involved ... sound like déjà vu?

The U.S. government is now tracking the wandering balloon, U.S. officials told CBS News ... adding that while its origin and purpose are still unknown, they've determined it not to be a threat.

Sources say the anonymous balloon has been on the move ... drifting eastwards in the jetstream, with one official revealing it was over Colorado Friday morning.

Of course, this ain't the States' first overhead balloon encounter. You'll remember ... a Chinese spy balloon hovering up in the skies in Feb 2023 had everyone up and down the country talking. Now, a year later ... there appears to be another one cruising high above.

The spy balloon was reportedly floating around 40,000 feet when it was fired down in U.S. territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina by the USAF upon President Biden's orders.

China was pissed as hell ... condemning the downing of their air balloon as an "excessive overreaction." The diplomatic tensions were definitely soaring ... as high as those balloons!

Los fans de Ariana Grande se están acercando un poco más a su novio Ethan Slater y todo lo que bastó fue un viejo clip donde aparece mostrando sus músculos.

Un fornido Ethan aparece sin camiseta en un sketch de hace unos años, y ahora sus fans están apoyando la relación con su coprotagonista en "Wicked", ¡porque el tipo se ve bien!

Ethan ha estado ocultando su físico en Broadway y en sus salidas públicas con Ariana. Al menos hasta ahora, no habíamos visto su cuerpo. Sin embargo, ha vuelto a circular este video de 2017, donde aparece luchando con su compañero de piso por el dinero del alquiler. Más importante aún, estamos echando un vistazo a su torso desnudo y se ve marcado.

Abdominales, bíceps, pectorales, lo que sea, Ethan lo tiene todo en este registro, que fue inocuamente reflotado en Internet esta semana, cuando los usuarios de X lo publicaron y trataron de hacerlo parecer como algo que no era.

La verdadera historia aquí, sin embargo, es cómo los fans de Ariana están babeando por Ethan y empezando a ver lo que ella ve en él.

Recuerden, la pareja se hizo súper cercana cuando filmaron "Wicked" juntos y decidieron divorciarse de sus respectivos cónyuges para iniciar una relación en toda regla. Es seguro decir, que la línea de tiempo se veía algo desordenada cuando todo esto se juntó.

Como les hemos dicho, Ariana y Ethan están pasando casi todo el tiempo juntos y más en privado en lugar de galantear por la ciudad, aunque salen en público de vez en cuando.

Ahora que hemos visto más del cuerpo de Ethan no es de extrañar que Ariana lo quiera todo para ella y ese es un el consenso de sus fans. ¡Dicen que Bob Esponja está bueno!

Para aquellos que tenían dudas, las fotos sin camisa los están haciendo cambiar de opinión.

Ariana Grande fans are coming around on her boyfriend Ethan Slater ... and all it took was an old clip of him showing off his muscles.

A ripped Ethan is shirtless in a resurfaced skit from a few years back, and now Ariana stans are giving her props for getting with her "Wicked" costar -- 'cause the dude looks good!

Ethan's been hiding a jacked physique on Broadway and during his public outings with Ariana ... until now, we haven't seen what his bod looks like. However, this old short film he was in from 2017 has been making the rounds anew, which features him wrestling his roommate over rent money. More importantly, we're getting a look at his bare torso ... and it's chiseled.

Abs, biceps, pecs ... you name it, Ethan's got it in this footage ... which had been innocuously floating around the internet until this week, when users on X posted it and tried to make it look like something it wasn't.

The real story here, though, is how Ariana fans are drooling over Ethan ... and starting to see what she sees in him.

Remember ... Ariana and Ethan got super close when they were filming "Wicked" together and they both divorced their spouses and got into a full-blown relationship.

As we've told you, Ariana and Ethan are spending almost all of their time together ... and they prefer spending it in private as opposed to gallivanting around town -- although, they do go out in public from time to time.

Now that we've seen more of Ethan's body ... it's no wonder Ariana wants him all to herself ... and that's kinda the consensus among her fans too. They're saying SpongeBob's a hunk!

For those who were on the fence before, the shirtless shots are pushing them over the edge.

Un impactante accidente múltiple en China dejó a 100 carros apilados y parece que todos sobrevivieron a la terrible experiencia, que quedó registrada en video.

Los medios estatales de China publicaron el video, que ahora está por todas las redes sociales, donde se ve una enorme fila de coches embestidos unos contra otros en extrañas posiciones, con un vehículo incluso descansando encima de todos en un ángulo casi vertical.

También se pueden ver escombros sobre la autopista y a la gente saliendo de los carros para ayudar a sus compañeros, aunque la policía local está diciendo que todo el mundo está más o menos bien, con solo algunas personas heridas.

La policía del Parque Industrial de Suzhou publicó en sus redes sociales WeChat que tres personas habían sido derivadas al hospital por sus lesiones y seis sufrieron rasguños menores, pero según ellos, todo el mundo sigue vivo.

Reuters está apuntando al mal tiempo como la principal razón detrás de este accidente, diciendo que el país ha sido golpeado con ventiscas y toneladas de lluvia.

El medio también informa que ha habido más gente circulando por las carreteras debido a las recientes vacaciones del Año Nuevo Lunar.

Por cierto, estos enormes accidentes no son totalmente desconocidos en China. En 2022, más de 200 carros se vieron implicados en un accidente múltiple provocado por la niebla, según el diario estatal Global Times. Según los informes, una persona murió en ese caso.

The aftermath of a 100-car pileup in China looks absolutely terrifying on camera ... and yet, it seems everyone survived the horrible ordeal.

Chinese state media posted the video, now all over social media, Friday which showed a huge swath of cars rammed into one another at odd angles, with one vehicle even resting atop several others at a near vertical angle.

Debris litters the freeway in the vid, and people can be seen clambering out of cars and looking to help their fellow crashed drivers ... but, local police are saying everyone's pretty much fine with just a few people injured.

Suzhou Industrial Park traffic police posted on social media platform WeChat saying three people were headed to the hospital for their injuries and six suffered minor scratches ... but, according to them, everyone's still alive.

Reuters is pointing to a recent bout of bad weather as the main reason behind this crash ... saying the country's been hit with blizzards and tons of rain.

More people have been on the roads too, the outlet reports, because of the recent Lunar New Year holiday.

BTW ... these huge accidents aren't totally unheard of in China. More than 200 cars were involved in a massive pileup in 2022 caused by heavy fog according to the state-owned Global Times. One person reportedly died in that instance.

MLB fans freaking out over their teams' new jerseys can take a chill pill ... 'cause Eric Hosmer tells TMZ Sports that even though they don't look so hot right now, he's sure the league will get it fixed by Opening Day.

The uniforms have been widely criticized by seamheads and even players all over the country after they were debuted earlier this month out at spring training.

Many have noted the new Nike designs have some serious flaws -- namely, the lettering on the back is too small and the positioning of some of the logos just doesn't feel right.

Plus, diehards have hated the way the pants have appeared to be see-through.

When we spoke with Hosmer about the hot-button topic this week ... he said he understood fans' concerns, admitting the jerseys do look "a little bit" like knockoffs. But, he added that he's almost positive changes will occur before Week 1.

"There's no doubt in my mind that they'll get it right before Opening Day," he said. "And those guys will be looking like Big Leaguers come April 1 -- whenever the first game is."

The former World Series champ also spoke with us about Shohei Ohtani's new, massive Dodgers contract -- and he gave us his prediction for who he thinks will be the toughest team to beat in 2024.

As for what he's up to now after officially retiring earlier this week ... he's started his own sports media company with his former teammate, Anthony Seratelli, called "MoonBall Media."

El hombre trágicamente asesinado por pit bulls en Compton podría haber sido capaz de evitar la muerte si hubiera seguido algunas técnicas útiles, esto de acuerdo a un gran criador local.

El hombre que fue mutilado hasta la muerte por sus propios pitbulls en Compton -California- el pasado jueves, fue encontrado muerto el viernes.

Big Gemini Kennels -un criador de pit popular con un gran seguimiento en la comunidad canina de Los Ángeles- le dice a TMZ que la víctima de este horrible incidente parece haber tratado de manejar a demasiados perros al mismo tiempo. Esa es la opinión del experto al menos.

Big Gemini nos dice que tratar de manejar a 13 perros -incluso con algunos de ellos siendo cachorros- es demasiado. No solo eso, los informes del Condado dicen que este hombre estaba alimentando a todos los perros cuando murió, y esto destaca como otra bandera roja.

Al momento de comer, los perros entran en un frenesí.

Cabe señalar que Big Gemini no tiene toda la información que tienen los investigadores y basa sus conclusiones en informes de prensa y otra información disponible al público. Dicho esto, la compañía está bastante segura de que había unos cuantos perros de más aquí.

BGK nos dice que la alimentación de tantos perros a la vez puede conducir a una mayor agresión y teorizan que dos perros adultos probablemente estaban luchando por algo de comida cuando el criador trató de separarlos (es algo muy común). En ese momento, sospechan que todos los perros podrían haberse vuelto contra él.

En lugar de alojar a todos los perros en un solo lugar en su patio trasero - entre una variedad de perreras - Big Gemini perreras dice que este hombre debería haber considerado la división de los cachorros ... la alimentación de solo dos o tres a la vez en lugar de todos los 13.

Los perros desde entonces han sido sometidos a eutanasia, un movimiento que Big Gemini dice que es necesario porque podrían haber ido a atacar a sus futuras familias. BGK nos dice que creen que los cachorros podrían haber sido rehabilitados, pero también señalan que podría no haber valido la pena el riesgo de que estos perros lastimen a otra persona. Así es como el Condado de Los Ángeles se sentía al respecto.

Big Gemini continúa diciéndonos que la gente ha estado preguntando sobre los riesgos de que los pit bulls ataquen a las personas a raíz de esta nueva historia viral ... pero hacen hincapié en que las personas deben temer a las personas más que a los propios perros - como señalan, todo se trata de cómo se crían los perros.

The man tragically killed by pit bulls in Compton might've been able to avoid death if he'd followed some helpful techniques ... this according to a big-time local breeder, that is.

ICYMI ... a dog owner was mauled to death by his own pit bulls in Compton, California, last Thursday, though his body wasn't discovered -- bloody and lying in his backyard -- until Friday.

Big Gemini Kennels -- a popular pit breeder with a huge following in the Los Angeles dog community and no association to the mauling -- tells TMZ ... the victim of this horrible incident appears to have perhaps taken on more than he could handle by trying to herd so many dogs together. That's BGK's view here, anyway.

Big Gemini tells us they feel like trying to manage 13 dogs -- even with some of them being puppies -- is just far too many. Not just that, but reports from the County that this man appeared to be feeding all the dogs when he died stands out as another red flag to BGK.

We're told that giving them food like all at once may have exacerbated the issue ... and maybe even sent the dogs into a frenzy.

It should be noted ... Big Gemini doesn't have all the info investigators do and is basing their findings on news reports and other publicly available info. With that said, the company's pretty sure there were a few dogs too many here with all of them running around the property when the body was found.

BGK tells us feeding so many dogs at once can lead to heightened food aggression ... and they theorize two adult dogs were probably fighting over some chow when the breeder tried to break things up. At that point ... they suspect all the dogs might've turned on him.

Instead of housing all the dogs in one location in his backyard --- among a variety of kennels -- Big Gemini Kennels says this man should have considered splitting the pups up ... feeding just two or three at a time instead of all 13.

The dogs have since been euthanized ... a move Big Gemini says is necessary because they could have gone on to attack their future families. FWIW ... BGK tells us they believe the puppies could have been rehabilitated ... but they also note, it might've not been worth the risk of these dogs hurting another person. That's how L.A. County felt about it.

Big Gemini goes on to tell us people have been asking about the risks of pit bulls attacking people in the aftermath of this viral new story ... but they emphasize people should fear people more than the dogs themselves -- as they note, it's all about how the dogs are raised.

Megan Thee Stallion said the infamous "fire crotch" line in the new "Mean Girls" on the big screen -- but you won't find it in the digital release ... and Lindsay Lohan's probably happy.

The rebooted flick -- which is now a musical -- finally hit VOD this week ... so it's available to rent on all your major players, Amazon and the like. The only difference this time around ... Meg's quote that pissed off LiLo in theaters is completely gone.

Indeed ... eagle-eyed fans noticed it right away as they started to stream the flick from home -- the part where MTS is supposed to say "Y2K fire crotch is back" has been edited out.

Instead, Meg here just ends her little piece of dialogue with "We are going back to red," and it then cuts to her laughing ... totally glossing over the line that was featured and seen in theaters, and which drew the ire of Lindsay and team -- who publicly denounced it.

Remember, Lindsay's rep came out and said LiLo was hurt by the fact the phrase had been included ... and not just that, but apparently, nobody had told her it would be in there.

The crazy part about that was ... Lindsay herself is ALSO in the movie, making a cameo.

It was all very bizarre ... and what made it even stranger was the fact that Tina Fey -- who EP'd and wrote "Mean Girls," and who's presumably pals with Lindsay -- didn't come out and address any of this last month when Lindsay made a big fuss about it ... just crickets.

However, now ... we can clearly see she heard LiLo loud and clear -- and made a change.

As you probably know by now ... the "fire crotch" insult first started with oil heir Brandon Davis -- who used to party with Paris Hilton back in the 2000s, and who used to run his mouth a lot to paps after nights on the town with his famous friend.

He was happy to trash Lindsay at the time, and even though it was years ago ... it clearly still bothers her to this day -- making it all the more surprising TF put it in the film at all.

The tallest and shortest people in the world have something brewing ... reuniting after 6 years to catch up over breakfast ... and it sounds like a film project is involved.

Sultan Kosen and Jyoti Amge traveled across the world to meet Monday in California ... making for a wild pairing and an even crazier set of photos.

Sultan, a 41-year-old from Turkey, holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest living man at 8 feet, 2 inches tall ... he towers over most people, and his shoe is almost the same size as Jyoti, who is just over 2 feet tall.

Jyoti, a 30-year-old from India, looks like a doll compared to Sultan ... especially when they're both sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Turkey's Anadolu news agency released the images from Monday's breakfast meeting in Irvine ... claiming the duo was invited to California by an unnamed American producer, who planned to film their meeting.

In one photo, Sultan is sitting in a chair and Jyoti is standing on a chair next to him ... and she barely reaches his shoulder. Check out the gallery ... it's pretty surreal.

It's the second time in six years Sultan and Jyoti have gotten together for some jarring photos ... the last meeting went down in 2018 in Egypt, where they posed in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza.

Sultan's held the title of the world's tallest man since 2009 ... his height is the result of a tumor in his pituitary gland, which creates an excess amount of growth hormone.

Jyoti's been the world's shortest woman since 2011 ... she was also the shortest teen and became the world's shortest actress in 2014 after landing a role in "American Horry Story."

El hombre más alto y la mujer más baja del mundo se han reunido después de 6 años para desayunar, y parece que se trata de un proyecto cinematográfico.

Sultan Kosen y Jyoti Amge viajaron a través del mundo para reunirse el lunes en California. Fue una reunión muy especial y dejó fotografías para la historia.

Sultan, un turco de 41 años que ostenta el Récord Guinness del hombre vivo más alto con sus 2.5 metros de altura, se eleva por encima de la mayoría de la gente, y su zapato es casi del mismo tamaño que el de Jyoti, que mide poco más de 60 centímetros.

Jyoti, una mujer de 30 años proveniente de la India, parece una muñeca en comparación con Sultán, especialmente cuando ambos están sentados con las piernas cruzadas en el suelo.

La agencia de noticias Anadolu de Turquía publicó las imágenes del desayuno de trabajo del lunes en Irvine, afirmando que el dúo fue invitado a California por un productor estadounidense no identificado que planeaba filmar su reunión.

En una foto, Sultan está sentado en una silla y Jyoti está de pie en una silla a su lado y ella apenas llega a su hombro. Échale un vistazo a la galería, es bastante surrealista.

Es la segunda vez en seis años que Sultán y Jyoti se juntan para unas fotos rocambolescas, el último encuentro fue en 2018 en Egipto, donde posaron frente a la Gran Esfinge de Guiza.

Sultan ha ostentado el título del hombre más alto del mundo desde 2009, su altura es el resultado de un tumor en su glándula pituitaria que crea una cantidad excesiva de hormona del crecimiento.

Jyoti ha sido la mujer más baja del mundo desde 2011, también fue la adolescente más baja y se convirtió en la actriz más baja del mundo en 2014 después de conseguir un papel en "American Horry Story".

A family outing at the beach turned into a tragic nightmare this week -- this after a little girl was buried alive by a collapsed hole dug on a beach in South Florida, which killed her.

CBS News Miami reports Pompano Fire Rescue responded to a call Tuesday just before 4 PM about a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl who were trapped under a mountain of sand after a deep hole they were digging -- about 6 feet deep -- caved in on them.

Shocking cell phone footage -- aired on NBC6 -- seemingly caught the aftermath of the horrifying ordeal ... with beachgoers jumping to the kids' aid and attempting to dig them out.

People got down on their hands and knees to scoop the sand off the children while others tried to hold up the walls so the children didn't become further buried. A huge crowd of onlookers stared on in disbelief ... and support boards were used in the rescue effort.

The boy was reportedly buried up to his chest while the girl was totally submerged under the sand ... and CBS reports the boy was taken from the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Beach to a hospital where he's recovering in stable condition, but the girl died before getting there.

It's unclear how long they were buried ... but it sounds like it took a while to get them out.

Local outlets say officials are investigating if the children are from the area or out of town as well as the children's relationship.

It might sound like a freak thing ... but these sand burials actually happen fairly often. Reports say the girl had stopped breathing by the time first responders were finally able to reach her.
