GloRilla Jacket Smacks Her in Face Mid-Performance ... 'Lil Girl Don't Throw S*** Else!!!'

Published

Fans have really been testing GloRilla's gangsta during her tour ... with the latest incident involving the red-hot rookie becoming a coatface killah while performing on stage.

Video of Big Glo's Valentine's Day performance at Cervantes’ Other Side in Denver hit the web on Thursday with Glo set to perform her new song "Internet Trolls."

Funny enough, there was a real troll in the crowd, who had the nerve to toss their jacket on stage, hitting Glo upside her head in the process.

After a quick scan of the audience, Glo ID'ed a woman with red braids to be the culprit ... and proceeded to cuss her out for the stunt. Glo also told the crowd the flying coat killed her stage-diving mood -- and was met with dejected moans and groans.

The show wasn't a total wash though ... Glo shared more footage of the Denver show with fans getting crazy — without throwing objects at the stage but the budding Memphis rapper has been experiencing the wild side of her newfound celebrity as of late.

During her afterparty in Oakland last week, fans grew angry she hung out at the club without performing and tossed drinks in her direction as she headed towards the exit.

Sources close to the situation told us it was simply an isolated incident but you know what they say in hip hop — mo money, mo problems will get you every time!!!

Miami Preschool Put 2-Yr-Olds in Blackface ... For Black History Month!!!

Published | Updated

A preschool in Miami is under fire for intentionally putting blackface on some students ... a move staffers proudly touted as a way to celebrate Black History Month.

Parents found out on Feb. 3 what was happening at Studio Kids Little River -- which has a preschool and daycare facilities. One parent, Courtney Politis, who had 2 kids at Studio, tells TMZ she was made aware of the incident by another concerned mom.

She says pictures of at least 2 toddlers in blackface were posted by a teacher on the school's internal app. As you can imagine, those pics started circulating, showing 2-year-olds dressed in police and construction worker costumes, with dark makeup plastered on their faces.

Politis says she brought this up to the preschool's director, Patricia Vitale, to express her outrage ... but claims Vitale downplayed the racist nature of it, asking why it was a big deal.

However, afterward, Vitale sent a letter to all the parents of the preschool ... writing in part, "We have not intended to offend anyone, and we’re very sorry about any inconvenience."

A few days later, Vitale sent another message that was a little more serious. The letter read, "We wanted to let all the parents know that we met on Friday afternoon with all the teachers and staff. We went over several ethical and multicultural education points. I will teach the team a class covering all the necessary topics regarding US history and multicultural education." She added, "[Y]ou may rest assured this will never happen again."

Politis tells us that, as far as she knows, the teacher who did this didn't face any real repercussions beyond a possible talking-to. Although, she's not calling for the teacher to be fired ... she does want there to be some discipline to show this just wasn't right.

Now, as for whether this is part of a larger political issue in FL -- involving Gov. Ron DeSantis' opposition to "wokeness" -- Politis says she doesn't necessarily see a direct tie there ... instead, she points to the fact the people who run the school are Argentinian.

She suspects it was some sort of cultural misunderstanding, though it's hard to understand what the goal was of the heinous exercise.

Ex-MTV Star Connor Smith Wanted for Trying to Meet Girl Under Age of 15 For Sexual Encounter in IL

Published

Connor Smith -- a former MTV star from "Are You the One?" -- is again being accused of trying to engage in sex acts with a minor ... and now, cops are looking for him.

The ex-reality show contestant -- who was prominently featured on 'AYTO' way back in 2015 -- is wanted in the state of Illinois ... where the Lake County Sheriff's Office says they've issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of trying to meet a child for a sexual encounter.

According to LCSO, Smith interacted with an undercover detective online for the past several weeks ... thinking the cop was a girl under the age of 15, and allegedly sending explicit material of himself -- and then planning to meet up with the fake kid to engage in sex acts.

Smith is accused of driving to a rendezvous point on Feb. 9 -- where he allegedly scheduled to pick up the would-be teen -- and at this point ... the Sheriff's Office says their officers moved in to apprehend him. However, they say Smith successfully fled in his pickup truck.

The following day, Lake County obtained a warrant for his arrest -- on felony charges of traveling to meet a minor, grooming and disseminating harmful material -- with a judge signing off on a million-dollar bond if he were to be captured and arrested.

LCSO says Smith indicated to them that he'd actually surrender, but note ... he hasn't done so yet. Now, they're warning the public about him -- and asking for tips on his whereabouts.

Here's the most troubling part about this ... Smith was arrested on a similar charge 2 years ago -- this after he allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl in Indiana. The account that the alleged victim gave police was brutal ... and he ended up getting picked up in neighboring Chicago.

Lil Nas X & Zedd Party Foul!!! Sued Over Rager at Hollywood Hills Home

Published | Updated

Lil Nas X and Zedd ignored a property owner's demand they not party in his swanky Hollywood Hills mansion, and then left the place trashed after the huge bash ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the "Old Town Road" singer and the famed DJ are among the defendants being sued by landlord Daniel Fitzgerald, who owns a slew of fancy homes in the Hollywood Hills.

In his suit, Fitzgerald says when he leased the property he specifically told the tenants they couldn't have any big parties, but he says that didn't stop the tenants from allowing Lil Nas X to host a bash for 1,000 people where Zedd was paid to spin tunes for the partygoers.

Fitzgerald claims Lil Nas X, Zedd and the party promoters and sponsors knew they weren't supposed to be having a party on the property ... but he says that didn't dissuade them from throwing an epic bash in April 2022.

In addition to allegedly pissing off neighbors and getting him into hot water with local officials, Fitzgerald claims the massive rager resulted in over $25,000 in physical damages to his property ... mainly to chairs, sofas, walls and ceilings.

Fitzgerald claims the home needed extensive repairs after the bash, forcing him to lose out on a month of rent between tenants ... which he says cost him another $40,000.

The landlord claims Lil Nas X and Zedd were each paid at least $250,000 for the party ... while all he got was a huge bill for a messy cleanup.

Fitzgerald is going after LNX, Zedd and the party's sponsors and promoters for money ... and he wants compensatory and punitive damages totaling at least $1 million.

We reached out to reps for both Lil Nas X camp and Zedd ... so far no word back.

Bradley Beal Fined $25,000 For Pushing Referee ... During Game

Published

Hope Bradley Beal doesn't have expensive Valentine's Day plans -- the Wizards star was just fined $25,000 for pushing an NBA official during Saturday's game against the Pacers.

It all went down at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC ... when Beal jumped to prevent a pass from going out of bounds, and his momentum carried him to the sideline.

Beal was unable to secure the ball ... and when he landed, he made contact with an official, who was trying to avoid being caught up in the action.

In the clip, you see Bradley and the official initially avoid a nasty collision -- but the All-Star guard ended up shoving the ref, causing him to fall backward over the chairs positioned behind him.

Beal spoke with the media after his team's 127-113 victory over Indiana, but the three-time All-Star and 2012-13 Rookie of the Year contender did not seem to comment on the situation.

NBA exec Joe Dumars announced the $25K fine for Beal just minutes ago ... so it seems the 11-year veteran will not have to worry about a suspension.

The Wizards' next game is Monday at Golden State ... but with V-day on Tuesday, Beal might be reconsidering his plans.

Then again, the guy is in the middle of a 5-year contract worth over $250 million ... so he'll be fine.

College Basketball Cheerleader Ejected From Game ... After Confronting Player On The Court

Published

It's not every day you see a cheerleader ejected from a basketball game ... but, here we are!

Just that happened to a cheerleader from Mississippi Valley State University who, for some reason, decided it was a good idea to walk on the court and confront an Alabama A&M player during Saturday's conference game.

During the second half, played at the Harrison HPER Complex ... the cheerleader was doing a front hurdler jump when Bama guard/forward Dailin Smith, who was inbounding the ball, appeared to accidentally hit her leg.

She wasn't pleased.

The next time down the court, and when play stopped, the cheerleader walked right up to Smith to confront him. On. The. Court.

When she got to Dailin, she actually appeared to give him a little shove ... and you can hear someone yell for security on the live broadcast.

The MVSU broadcasters were baffled by the events, as they attempted to figure out what was happening as security and police approached the cheerleader.

"They're gonna put one of the cheerleaders out of the game," the broadcaster said. "It's getting real heated here."

The woman was eventually escorted out of the arena.

On a positive note, Alabama A&M won the game ... with an insane buzzer-beater, beating MVSU 70-68.

Ex-Patriots RB Stevan Ridley Arrested In Mississippi

Published | Updated

Former New England Patriots running back Stevan Ridley -- who helped Tom Brady win a Super Bowl in the 2014 season -- was arrested in Mississippi over the weekend, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The running back was booked late Saturday night/early Sunday morning on two charges in Natchez, according to a Natchez Police official.

It's not yet clear what the allegations are against Ridley -- but records show he was released from custody on Sunday.

Ridley, who was born in Natchez, was a Patriots third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He played for New England for four seasons -- recording his biggest year in 2012, when he rushed for 1,263 yards and 12 TDs.

He went on to play for the Jets, Falcons and Steelers.

The 34-year-old started at LSU before turning pro, scoring 15 TDs for the Tigers in his final season in Baton Rouge in 2010.

Rihanna Possible Halftime Backup Dancers ... Trekking Across the Lot?!?

Published | Updated

Rihanna is set to hit the stage during the Superbowl halftime show very shortly -- and you'd think NFL officials would already have her backup dancers inside by now ... you would think.

Check out this clip that our photog got about 25 minutes ago -- you see SCORES of people dressed in elaborate white outfits trekking across the parking lot just outside of State Farm Arena in Arizona (where the game is being held). The question ... are y'all with RiRi???

DECKED IN FENTY

That's exactly what we asked them -- especially seeing how they were trying to cover up with trash bags, attempting to head over on the DL, but sticking out like sore thumbs.

A few of them actually gave us answers ... including when we referred to them as "Rihanna's army." They seemed to confirm that, and one of them even told us how deep they were rolling ... there's about 280 of them, it seems.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

We don't know for certain these are Rihanna's dancers, but the odds seem high based on what we're seeing/hearing right in front of us. If they are, it's a big old SMH to the people who planned this. There's gotta be some backdoor entrance/route they could've taken. 😅

It's almost showtime ... so we'll know here soon enough.

George Lopez Blasted for Putting Down Latino Comic ... Ralph Barbosa Laughs It Off

Published | Updated

George Lopez is getting dragged through the coals for what some say is him acting like a gate-keeping elitist in standup comedy -- this after kinda putting down a fellow Latino comic.

The legendary funny man was on a podcast this past week for the All Things Comedy network -- chatting with Steve Treviño and others ... and they were talking about George's legacy, especially as it pertains to paving the path for other Hispanic comedians.

Trevino said it was incumbent on the OGs of the biz -- like George -- to pass down the knowledge and assist up-and-comers in breaking through ... but GL disagreed on the way to go about that. He acknowledged he hadn't always been the most helpful, but noted he had shown the way ... arguing it was on others to chart their own path, the way he has.

Trevino pushed back, invoking Ralph Barbosa -- a young guy who's blowing up right now in standup -- and George almost immediately took issue with his name being mentioned.

George asked why Trevino was bringing RB up, suggesting he wasn't famous/worthy of getting roped into the convo. He then asked the room if it was messed up he was saying that ... but in the end, he stood his ground in writing Barbosa off as a relative nobody.

His takeaway point was ... look out for yourself. It would seem, in his mind, that means not talking about other comics or giving them a plug of any kind -- something Paul Rodriguez has alluded to when it comes to what he says is George's track record on this sort of thing.

A resurfaced clip of Paul telling a story about George is now making the rounds in the wake of this Barbosa snub ... and it paints an interesting picture. It would seem that even among George's contemporaries ... he's got a bad rep for not extending a helping hand to Latinos.

George would likely disagree with that characterization -- but he's also pretty clear in how he thinks he can best serve people, including Hispanics. A bootstrap approach, no doubt.

As for Ralph ... he's responded to all the chatter this has spawned, and a clip he reposted is quite telling. It's a scene from the movie 'Blood In, Blood Out' -- where Benjamin Bratt is getting grilled by his relative for turning his back on his own people.

Tennis Star Alexander Bublik Melts Down At Tournament ... Demolishes 3 Rackets

SMASHING SUCCESS

Tennis star Alexander Bublik absolutely lost his mind during a match this week -- destroying THREE of his rackets in a wild outburst that was all captured on video.

The epic temper tantrum went down in the third set of Bublik's Open Sud de France match in Montpellier against Grégoire Barrère ... when he blew a gasket over the way he was playing.

The 25-year-old -- a heavy favorite in the match -- slammed his racket to the court's surface over and over and over again after a losing a point ... leaving it in pieces.

Clearly unfulfilled by that, Bublik went to his bench and destroyed another one. Seconds later, he grabbed one more and, you guessed it, beat the hell out of that one too.

The crowd cheered loudly as Bublik went off -- and even one of the match's announcers was over it by the third racket smash, saying, "Well, this is getting out of hand now."

Bublik, the No. 50-ranked player in the world, eventually stopped the tirade -- and went on to lose the match, 6-4, 6-7 (12), 7-6 (3).

No word yet if Bublik faces any punishment for the fit of rage -- but one thing is clear ... he better pack a few more rackets for his next tourney appearance.

Tesla Driver Appears Asleep At Wheel ... Cruising Down Freeway

COZY RIDE

A driver behind the wheel of a Tesla was fast asleep as the car traveled along a busy California freeway ... at least that's the way it looks in footage shot from another car.

You gotta see the video ... the Tesla driver is motionless as the electric vehicle zooms down Interstate 15 near Temecula, CA ... and it looks like they're sleeping, because they're wearing sunglasses and their head is tilted back and their mouth is open.

The folks who shot the video are convinced the Tesla driver is out like a light ... they say the Tesla zoomed past them Thursday when they noticed the driver was "knocked out," remarking how dangerous the situation appears.

The concerned commuters reportedly followed the Tesla for 15 minutes, honking their horn to try and wake the driver before calling police, who never caught up with the vehicle.

California Highway Patrol says there were no reported accidents involving a white Tesla in the area at the time the video was shot ... but the footage is still pretty scary.

Tesla has an autopilot function, but it's illegal for drivers to be asleep behind the wheel when the car is on autopilot.

Chris Brown Sends Apology to Grammy Winner After Asking 'Who The F*** Is Robert Glasper?'

Published | Updated
UPDATE

12:12 PM PT -- Apparently Chris realized he was being a total jerk, cause he just posted his DM apology he sent to Glasper. Chris writes, "Congratulations my brother .. I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys .. you were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean. After doing my research I actually think your amazing ... THE ORGANIZATION ISNT DOING US BLACKS OUT DUE DILIGENSE. YOU AND I SHOULD never be in the same category."

UPDATE
UPDATE

He continues, "Two totally different vibes and genres. So from one back man to another .. CONGRATULATIONS.. HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO FEED YOUR FAMILY FOR LIFE. God bless my G."

Chris Brown proved he was nothing but a sore loser after his Grammys defeat Sunday night.

The artist was nominated for Best R&B Album for "Breezy (Deluxe)" alongside Mary J. Blige, Robert Glasper, Lucky Daye and PJ Morton.

When Glasper was announced as the winner for his album "Black Radio III," CB took to Instagram to ridicule the now five-time Grammy-winning pianist, songwriter and record producer.

Chris posted a Google screenshot of Glasper and wrote, “BRO WHO THE F–K IS THIS?”

CB's vitriol didn't stop there...he posed the question again in another IG post...“YALL PLAYING  WHO DA F–K IS THIS?”

And, CB did it a third time ...“WHO THE F*CK IS ROBERT GLASPER.”
He then mockingly told his fans that he’s “gotta get [his] skills up” and “start playing the harmonica."

CB ended his tantrum by displaying a photo of himself playing the harmonica with the caption ... “NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED!” and “HARMONICA BREEZY.”
Twitter users were quick to pounce on CB.

One person bluntly wrote, "What a loser." Another said, "Nobody wanted him to win anyways."

A third person called out his domestic abuse history, saying, "Abusers losing will always make me laugh."

A fourth person summed it up like this..."Such a crybaby."

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown Shows Off Pete Davidson Tattoo ... To PD Himself at Pro Bowl

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson is a captain at the Pro Bowl Games in Vegas this weekend -- which is sort of a weird sight ... but not nearly as bizarre as the ink Amon-Ra St. Brown was rocking.

The Lions WR was front and center Sunday for the off-weekend just before the Super Bowl next week, and during an interview with Robert Griffin III ... he showed off what appeared a relatively fresh tattoo he had plastered on his arm ... a tat of Pete's face, no less.

There's some writing underneath the drawing of PD's mug too ... it says, "Pete #1" -- as in Pete's #1 fan. Unclear if it's real or not, but Pete was brought over to take a closer look.

He was clearly impressed and moved by the gesture -- apparently, Amon-Ra is a big fan -- but he also said what most everyone else was thinking ... hopefully, that thing comes off!

As for why Pete's there at all ... he's just one of a handful of celebs on the field to help spice things up. Snoop Dogg and other stars are there too, and everyone's just goofing around and hamming it up for the camera -- notable during Pete's Best Catch judging.

Naturally, there were jokes made about his dating resume, which includes a lot of high-profile women he's been with over the years. Good sport that he is, Pete leaned in.

At one point, RGIII even made a little crack about Pete's "game" off the field ... and the dude was appreciative of the compliment -- noting, he's just there to have a good time.

BTW, there are reports of his latest GF, Chase Sui-Wonders, being there too. So, it sounds like that relationship is still going strong. Forget Ray Romano ... everybody loves Pete!

Ex-NFL CB Vontae Davis Arrested For DUI In Florida Cops Say He Was Asleep On Side Of Highway

Published | Updated

Former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis -- who last played with the Buffalo Bills in 2018 -- was arrested for DUI in Florida, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

A spokesperson for the Florida Highway Patrol tells us ... officers responded to a crash involving two vehicles on State Road 821 in Florida on Saturday, Feb. 4 around 7:51 am.

Once officers arrived on the scene, they noticed a black 4-door Tesla with heavy front end damage and a bronze pickup Toyota truck with heavy rear end damage.

According to police docs, Davis, who was identified as the driver of the Tesla, failed to maintain control of his vehicle ... and collided with the pickup truck.

The force from the collision caused the pickup truck to hit a nearby pedestrian ... who sustained multiple injuries and was transported to the hospital.

Law enforcement authorities say they observed Davis -- who played ten seasons in the NFL with the Colts, Dolphins, and Bills -- laying down sleeping on the right shoulder of the road.

When police were interviewing Davis, they say they noticed his eyes were bloodshot, and he needed to lean on the barrier to prevent himself from falling to the ground.

Police say they asked Davis if he had been drinking ... he replied, "Yes, I had two drinks. Two mixed drinks."

Officers say they asked Davis if they could administer a standard field sobriety test ... but the ex-NFL CB refused, saying, "No."

Davis was placed under arrest and booked for DUI in Broward County ... where his bond was set at $500.

Lourdes Leon Sorry Kiddo ... Madonna's Daughter Denied at Fashion Show

Published | Updated

There's plenty of perks to being Madonna's daughter -- but apparently, even those perks have their limits -- like automatic entry into fashion shows.

Lourdes Leon and a friend thought they'd be able to stroll right into the Marc Jacobs Runway show Thursday night without issue ... but that wasn't the case. Check out the video, paps swarm Lourdes on her way into the Park Avenue Armory.

The two try to walk past security, but the guards aren't havin' it ... blocking the entry and refusing to let them inside.

At one point, even the paparazzi chant "Let her in!" as Lourdes and her friend crack up, but the security guards don't crack.

Finally, after a few phone calls, Lourdes and her friend give up -- getting back into their waiting SUV and leaving. Unclear where they were headed, but hopefully they had a reservation.

49ers' Fred Warner Wife Didn't 'Feel Safe' At Eagles Game ... I'm Never Going Back!!

Published | Updated

The wife of 49ers star Fred Warner won't be showing up to Eagles games in the future after she says Philly fans treated her horribly, berating her during the NFC Championship game, and it made her feel unsafe.

Warner's wife, Sydney, opened up about her experience at Lincoln Financial Field ... and let's just say she got a warm Philadelphia welcome.

The All-Pro's spouse says she was minding her own business, getting something to eat at a concession stand when a drunk Eagles fan got in her face, and tried to intimidate her.

"I tried my best to just not let it get to me." the 27-year-old said in a TikTok video on Wednesday.

"Like stay stone face, just walk and just let them throw stuff at you, say all the things and just get to where you're going. Just block it out."

Of course, that's easier said than done.

WATCH-NOW-HULU-KAL
TMZ INVESTIGATES

But, that was nothing compared to what happened when Sydney attempted to leave the game a bit early in an attempt to avoid the hecklers. Unfortunately, she ended up in a tunnel filled with Eagles fans.

"The way they were just like 'go home, go home' but that's fine. I get it but 'I hope your plane crashes!'" Sydney said, "I’m all about passion, but never again.”

Sydney, who married the linebacker last June, says it got so bad that she had to hide her red bag under her jacket so they wouldn't harass her, but she still felt unsafe.

"Like I'm 100% down riding for riding your team, but honestly, I just didn't feel safe," Sydney said.

"I will probably never go back to that stadium, to be honest. I guess you can just call me a wimp, but I couldn't handle the fans."

Now, Sydney joins Santa 🎅❄️ and thousands of others who will never again watch a football game in the City of Brothely Love 🙄
