You Might Want to Rethink

En un vídeo se escucha a dos adolescentes riendo mientras arrollan deliberadamente con su carro a un ciclista en Nevada, matándolo.

El conductor de 17 años y su acompañante circulaban por una calle de Las Vegas el 14 de agosto y se acercaron por detrás de Andreas Probst, que circulaba en bicicleta por el carril de ciclistas.

El pasajero, que estaba grabando con su teléfono móvil, empezó a reírse con el conductor mientras planeaban atropellar a Probst, un jefe de policía jubilado de California, se les puede oír decir: "¿Preparado?" y "Sí, pégale en el culo".

Momentos después, el conductor chocó contra Probst, haciéndole salir volando hacia el parabrisas antes de caer al suelo.

Probst fue trasladado a un hospital local donde fue declarado muerto.

Los adolescentes huyeron del lugar pero el conductor fue detenido poco después por el atropello y fuga. Los cargos se elevaron posteriormente a homicidio cuando el vídeo apareció recientemente en Internet mostrando que el crimen fue intencionado.

Two teens were heard laughing on a video as they deliberately plowed their car into a bicyclist in Nevada, killing the man -- a retired police chief.

The 17-year-old driver and his passenger were cruising down a street in Las Vegas on August 14, coming up behind Andreas Probst as he rode his cycle in the bike lane.
Filming with his cell phone, the passenger was chuckling with the driver as they plotted to run over Probst. You can hear them say, "Ready?" and "Yeah, hit his ass."

Moments later, the driver crashed into Probst, causing him to fly up onto the windshield before tumbling to the ground.

Probst was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He reportedly moved to Vegas after retiring as chief from California's Bell Police Department in 2009.
The teens fled, but the driver was soon arrested for the hit-and-run. The charges were later upgraded to include murder when the video recently surfaced online, showing the crime was intentional.

El presunto novio de la diputada Lauren Boebert no sólo es demócrata, sino que presumiblemente apoya a la comunidad LGBTQ, así que la trama no hace más que complicarse.

Quinn Gallagher, el hombre que estaba agarrando el pecho de Bobert como ella estaba agarrando su entrepierna mientras veían un musical, tiene un bar en Aspen (el Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar) que alberga espectáculos de drag.

Como probablemente sepas, la incendiaria republicana ha arremetido contra los espectáculos de travestis, preocupada por que los niños puedan ser influenciados de alguna manera para hacer algo, aunque nunca ha sido específica.

Es la última vuelta de tuerca de una historia de locos. Como ya informamos, Boebert fue expulsada de la obra de "Beetlejuice" en Denver, después de fumar (algo que ella negó pero que está tan claro como el agua en el vídeo de vigilancia), hacer señas, interrumpir y hablar mal a otros miembros del público.

En otro vídeo, se ve a Gallagher manoseando el pecho de Boebert y a Boebert manoseándole la entrepierna.

Y, como ya informamos, a la salida del teatro le dio la vuelta a un acomodador.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's presumed boyfriend is not only a Democrat but presumably a supporter of the LGBTQ community ... so the plot just keeps thickening.

Quinn Gallagher, the man who was grabbing Bobert's breast as she was grabbing his crotch as they watched a musical, has a bar in Aspen -- the Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar -- which hosts drag shows.

As you probably know, the Republican firebrand has railed on drag shows, worrying that children might somehow be influenced to do something, although she's never been specific.

It's the latest twist in a nutty tale. As we reported, Boebert was ejected from the "Beetlejuice" performance in Denver, after vaping (something she denied but is as clear as day in the surveillance video), signing, disrupting and talking trash to other audience members.

In another video, you see Gallagher pawing Boebert's breast and Boebert groping his crotch.

And, as we told you, on their way out of the theatre, she flipped off an usher.

El drama se desarrolló el 30 de agosto en L.A. Crypto.com Arena, y en la llamada de emergencia obtenida por TMZ Hip Hop, un operador estaba bastante sorprendido al escuchar que alguien había sufrido un trauma contundente a causa de un micrófono.

Como informamos, el micrófono le cayó a Bryhana Monegain de Power 106 en la frente, y la dejó sangrando profusamente ... lo que provocó la llamada al 911. No está claro qué tendría de relevante para la lesión, pero, por alguna razón, el despachador preguntó: "¿Quién actúa esta noche?".

A pesar de la pregunta desenfadada, el operador se aseguró de enviar asistencia médica al lugar de inmediato. Para ser justos, también preguntó si Bryhana estaba despierta.

Resulta que Bryhana sufrió múltiples laceraciones en la cabeza y la cara tras ser golpeada con el micrófono.

Al parecer, el aparato no funcionaba correctamente y 50 lo tiró con rabia...pero puede que acabe arrepintiéndose.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que han completado su investigación, y el caso está ahora en la oficina del Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles siendo revisado por posibles cargos de delito grave.

The saying, "keep your eye on the prize" comes to mind when ya hear the 911 audio from 50 Cent's hurled mic incident -- although a radio DJ suffered a head injury, the dispatcher wanted to know who was performing.

The drama unfolded on August 30 at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, and on the emergency call obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, a dispatcher is quite surprised to hear someone had suffered blunt forced trauma ... from a microphone of all things

As we reported, the mic smashed Power 106's Bryhana Monegain square in the forehead, and left her bleeding profusely ... prompting the call to 911. It's unclear why it would be relevant to the injury, but, for some reason, the dispatcher inquired ... "Who's performing tonight?"

Despite the lighthearted query, the dispatcher was sure to send medical assistance to the scene right away. To be fair, he did also ask if Bryhana was awake.

As it turns out, Bryhana suffered multiple lacerations to the head and face after being decked with the mic.

The device apparently had been malfunctioning, and 50 chucked the thing in anger ... but he might end up seriously regretting that.

Law enforcement sources tell us police have completed their investigation, and the case is now at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office being reviewed for possible felony charges.

Hasan Minhaj has been caught stretching the truth in a handful of stories he's told in his stand-up comedy -- and his response to this revelation is ... eh, it's not a big deal, guys.

The comic -- famous from 'The Daily Show' -- got called out in a New Yorker piece ... which got him to admit that he'd fabricated much of the details to several bits he'd done on stage over the years ... almost all of which played up racism and bigotry over his Muslim heritage.

One such anecdote that was embellished is about his daughter ... and how he had to rush her to the hospital after an envelope with white powder was sent to his house. As it turns out, all the daughter stuff was made up -- as he revealed when pressed by the New Yorker.

Other stories he exaggerated or flat-out lied about included one of him getting turned down for a school dance due to his race -- the woman in question says this wasn't the case in the slightest -- and another about how an FBI informant infiltrated his community mosque. In both instances, there appears to be little truth to the substance of the stories.

Minhaj said this to the New Yorker, "My comedy Arnold Palmer is seventy per cent emotional truth -- this happened -- and then thirty per cent hyperbole, exaggeration, fiction." After being pressed further by other media, he released a lengthier statement, which is interesting.

He says ... "All my standup stories are based on events that happened to me. Yes, I was rejected from going to prom because of my race. Yes, a letter with powder was sent to my apartment that almost harmed my daughter. Yes, I had an interaction with law enforcement during the war on terror. Yes, I had varicocele repair surgery, so we could get pregnant. Yes, I roasted Jared Kushner to his face. I use the tools of standup comedy -- hyperbole, changing names and locations, and compressing timelines to tell entertaining stories."

Rolling Stone's founder just lost decision-making power in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- all because he called Black and female artists inarticulate ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the Hall tells us Jann Wenner has been booted from the famed HOF's Board of Directors for their Foundation -- this after a vote was taken among the current members.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the only dissenting vote was from Jon Landau.

Jann Wenner -- who helped launch RS Magazine way back in 1967 -- did an interview with the NYT this week in which he talks about who he interviewed for his forthcoming offering, "The Masters," which contains wide-ranging sit-downs with 7 rock and roll gods.

That includes Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Jerry Garcia and Pete Townsend ... all of whom, as the NYT journo noted, are white and male.

The Q: "There are seven subjects in the new book; seven white guys. In the introduction, you acknowledge that performers of color and women performers are just not in your zeitgeist. Which to my mind is not plausible for Jann Wenner. Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, the list keeps going ... What do you think is the deeper explanation for why you interviewed the subjects you interviewed and not other subjects?

Wenner's answer is telling. He says, "When I was referring to the zeitgeist, I was referring to Black performers, not to the female performers, OK? Just to get that accurate. The selection was not a deliberate selection. It was kind of intuitive over the years; it just fell together that way. The people had to meet a couple criteria, but it was just kind of my personal interest and love of them."

He adds, "Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level." The reporter pushes back, incredulously asking if he really doesn't think Joni Mitchell was articulate enough to talk music on an intellectual level.

Wenner responded, "It’s not that they’re not creative geniuses. It’s not that they’re inarticulate, although, go have a deep conversation with Grace Slick or Janis Joplin. Please, be my guest. You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock."

El fundador de Rolling Stone acaba de perder el poder de decisión en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll. Todo porque llamó a los artistas afro y femeninos inarticulados, TMZ ha indagado.

Un representante del Salón nos dice Jann Wenner ha sido expulsado de la famosa HOF de la Junta de Directores de su Fundación, esto después de una votación se llevó a cabo entre los miembros actuales

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que el único voto en contra fue de Jon Landau.

Jann Wenner, quien ayudó a lanzar la revista Rolling Stone en 1967, ha concedido esta semana una entrevista al NYT en la que habla de las personas a las que ha entrevistado para su próximo libro, "The Masters", que contiene amplias entrevistas con 7 dioses del rock and roll.

Entre ellos figuran Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Jerry Garcia y Pete Townsend, todos ellos, como señala el periodista del NYT, blancos y varones.

La pregunta: "Hay siete temas en el nuevo libro; siete hombres blancos. En la introducción, reconoces que los artistas de color y las mujeres artistas no están en tu espíritu. Lo que, en mi opinión, no es plausible para Jann Wenner. Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, la lista sigue, ¿cuál cree que es la explicación más profunda de por qué entrevistó a los sujetos que entrevistó y no a otros?

La respuesta de Wenner es reveladora. Dice: "Cuando me refería al zeitgeist, me refería a los intérpretes negros, no a las intérpretes femeninas, ¿vale? Para que quede claro. La selección no fue deliberada. Fue algo intuitivo a lo largo de los años. La gente tenía que cumplir un par de criterios, pero era simplemente mi interés personal y mi amor por ellos".

Y añade: "En cuanto a las mujeres, ninguna era lo bastante elocuente a nivel intelectual". El periodista le replica, incrédulo, preguntándole si realmente no cree que Joni Mitchell fuera lo bastante elocuente como para hablar de música a un nivel intelectual.

Wenner responde: "No es que no sean genios creativos. No es que sean inarticulados, aunque, vaya a tener una conversación profunda con Grace Slick o Janis Joplin. Por favor, adelante. Sabes, Joni no era una filósofa del rock 'n' roll. Ella, en mi mente, no cumplía esa prueba. Ni por su trabajo ni por otras entrevistas que hizo. Las personas que entrevisté eran el tipo de filósofos del rock".

El nuevo single de Drake con SZA está causando furor entre sus fans, pero una persona no está feliz con el hit, y esa sería Halle Berry ... cuya imagen se utiliza para promover la canción.

La actriz publicó un post críptico en su cuenta de Instagram acerca de ser la persona más grande (o adulta) en ciertas situaciones. Esto, poco después de que Drizzy lanzara su nueva canción, "Slime You Out", que acaba de lanzar el viernes. En los comentarios de ese mismo post, sin embargo, Halle lo ataca de frente.

Alguien le preguntó qué opinaba de que Drake utilizara una foto suya de los Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards de 2012, en donde se hizo famosa por ser manchada de baba mientras estaba sentada en su asiento. Se trata de un primer plano de Halle con todo el exudado verde sobre ella, y Drake lo está utilizando en las redes sociales como imagen de portada. En la subida oficial del audio, hay arte alternativo.

De cualquier modo, Halle Berry no está contenta. La actruz respondió, que esta "no tiene su permiso", que "eso no está bien, y ¡tenía una mejor opinión de él!". Y en respuesta a otro fan añade: "de ahí mi post de hoy. Cuando la gente a la que admiras te decepciona tienes que actuar de mejor manera y pasar página".

Halle hizo otros comentarios en respuesta a su post, incluyendo uno en el que dice que todo se trata de los principios, lo que podría aludir al hecho de que probablemente ella ni siquiera posee los derechos de la imagen en cuestión.

Y, por supuesto ... también está la naturaleza gráfica de la canción en sí, que alude a actos sexuales -y que algunos se han ofendido en nombre de Halle. Ella también lo cuestiona, y le respondió a un fan que preguntaba sobre la palabra slime: "¡Exactamente! ¿Qué significa eso?".

No está claro si Drake posee esta foto de Halle, de manera limpia o no, pero es interesante que ella le esté llamando la atención sobre el asunto. Recientemente se vio envuelto en otro escándalo de portada, con nada más ni nada menos que Vogue, y que al parecer le costó un poco de dinero en efectivo después de que lo demandaron.

Drake's new single with SZA is all the rage among his fans, but one person isn't happy about it -- and that would be Halle Berry ... whose image he used to promote the song.

The actress took to IG with a somewhat cryptic post about being the bigger person in certain situations -- this shortly after Drizzy released his new track, "Slime You Out," which just dropped Friday. In the comments of that same post, though, Halle bashes him head-on.

Somebody asked what she thought of Drake using the photo of her from the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards -- where she famously got slimed while sitting in her seat. There's a close-up shot of Halle with all the green ooze on her, and Drake is using that on social media as a cover image. On the official audio upload, there's alternative art.

Anyway, HB isn't pleased. She responded, writing, "didn't get my permission. That's not cool I thought better of him!" She adds in response to another fan, "hence my post today. When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!"

There are other comments she made in response to people on her post, including one where she says it's about the principle of the matter -- which might allude to the fact she likely doesn't even own the rights to the picture in question.

And, of course ... there's also the graphic nature of the song itself, which alludes to sex acts -- and which some have taken offense to on behalf of Halle. She, too, questions this ... writing to one fan who commented on what slime refers to, "exactly! What does that mean?"

It's unclear if Drake got this picture of Halle cleared or not, but it's interesting that she's calling him out on it. He was recently caught up in yet another cover art scandal -- with Vogue, no less -- and that one reportedly cost him a bit of cash after they sued.

Nicki Minaj's husband and some goons were apparently waiting to see Offset outside somewhere on the streets of New York this week -- but the man himself was up in air.

A pal of Kenneth Petty went live on IG Friday night -- which, of course, was captured and reposted by the general public. In the lengthy clips, you can see him, KP and another man all standing on a sidewalk across the street from some building ... calling out Offset.

Seems they thought he'd be leaving this place and planned on confronting him -- evidenced in their ominous remarks in the videos. Kenneth, especially, looks ready for smoke.

Unclear exactly what this is all about -- but some have speculated it might pertain to the VMAs, where Nicki and Cardi both performed ... and where they may have even crossed paths. As we all know -- they have an ugly, violent history between them

Unfortunately for Ken and co. ... Offset never showed, and the reason for that is because he's had a busy past 24 hours. On Friday, he was noticeably live streaming with a famous YouTuber out in Atlanta -- and come Saturday morning, homeboy was in Colorado meeting HC Deion Sanders and raging with all the college kids ahead of the big game.

Offset hopped on social media upon touching down this AM, and he was kinda taunting the fellas who were curbside looking for trouble. Sounds like he finds the whole thing hilarious.

Ashton Kutcher is stepping down as chairman of the board at the anti-child sex abuse organization he started with his ex-wife Demi Moore -- it's the latest blowback from a letter of support he wrote for Danny Masterson.

Ashton is leaving Thorn, the org he co-founded in 2012, and so is his wife Mila Kunis, who was an observer on the organization's board of directors.

They're departing due to public outrage over the letters they wrote to the judge who sentenced Masterson, their fellow "That '70s Show Star" who was convicted of raping 2 women. The letters were written to inform the judge about Danny's character -- in their eyes -- to help the judge decide on a sentence, but it blew up in their faces.

Ashton's resignation letter to Thorn's board, obtained by TIME, explains ... "Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences."

He continues ... "After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign as Chairman of the Board, effectively immediately."

Ashton adds,  "I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve."

He also apologized for letting down sexual assault victims and other advocates, writing ... "The mission must always be the priority and I want to offer my heartfelt apology to all victims of sexual violence and everyone at Thorn who I hurt by what I did. And to the broader advocacy community, I am deeply sorry."

AK testified before Congress a few years back, passionately laying out his mission to protect abuse victims ... and video of his impassioned speech is now being scrutinized in the wake of his Masterson defense.

Attempting to seduce a cop is one thing, but a stripper who getting busted for an alleged hit-and-run takes it to the next level -- offering to pee on the officer, and telling him to Tase her because she "likes it kinky."

Police body camera footage from the exotic dancer's Ohio arrest shows her desperate attempts to flirt with the officer ... calling him "handsome" and daring him to search her.

But, the cop doesn't fall for it, and puts her in the back of his squad car. Apparently undaunted, the woman keeps laying it on thick, telling him ... "I'll piss in your face, only if you like it, though."

Back at the station, she welcomes the use of force, declaring ... "You wanna Tase me? Do it! I like it. I like it kinky."

She proudly told cops she's a stripper, and that she'd downed lots of tequila before driving, but when more officers show up to take her to a hospital ... she starts melting down.

As the officers try getting her into a patrol car, she struggles and screams out ... "You’re going to rape me! Stop trying to rape me!"

Prosecutors reportedly ended up charging her with operating a vehicle under the influence, assaulting a police officer, obstruction of official business and speeding.

Drew Barrymore is offering up an emotional apology to the thousands of writers who are striking while her show returns ... but she is NOT shutting down the show.

The talk show host gave a lengthy apology on social media Friday, tearing up while taking full responsibility for the heat she's been facing since saying over the weekend her show will resume production.

She says she doesn't think there's anything she can do to make it right, and admits she didn't want to hide behind others for the decision to return. Drew claims she wasn't expecting folks to be as up in arms as they are, but wants to make it clear that she won't be breaking any rules with the show.

It's interesting, Drew isn't yanking her production but instead is explaining why she decided to move forward ... citing reasons like the ones Bill Maher had for taking "Real Time" back to the studio.

As we reported, Drew has been labeled a scab after saying on Sunday she's resuming her show, claiming she wants to "provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience."

Drew Barrymore está ofreciendo una disculpa muy emocional a los miles de escritores que están en huelga mientras que su espectáculo vuelve. Ella NO va a cancelar el show

La presentadora del programa de entrevistas dio una larga disculpa por redes sociales el viernes, llorando mientras asumía toda la responsabilidad por el enojo que ha estado enfrentando desde que dijo el fin de semana que su programa reanudará la producción.

Dice que no cree que haya nada que pueda hacer para arreglarlo y admite que no quería esconderse detrás de los demás para tomar la decisión de volver. Drew afirma que no esperaba que la gente se levantara en armas como lo está haciendo pero quiere dejar claro que no va a romper ninguna regla con el programa.

Es interesante; Drew no está retirando su producción, más bien está explicando por qué decidió seguir adelante citando razones como las que Bill Maher tenía para llevar "Real Time" de vuelta al estudio.

Como informamos, Drew ha sido tachada de esquirol después de decir el domingo que va a reanudar su programa, alegando que quiere "proporcionar lo que los escritores hacen tan bien, que es una manera de unirnos o ayudarnos a dar sentido a la experiencia humana."
