You Might Want to Rethink

Lil Kim is siding with the fans in their outrage over her Ebony magazine cover edits ... even going so far as to proclaim she didn't even recognize herself after they digitized her face!!!

Kimmy Blanco hopped on IG to drag the publication with a fiery caption ... "Who is this? Cuz that’s not the photo I approved or any other content they’ve put out. I always told Ebony it looked like a painting, but they didn’t wanna listen. They said they loved it. It’s the sabotage for me. The funny s*** about this is that this is THEIR retoucher!”

The legendary rapper was targeting Ebony's photographer Keith Major, who first opened the can of worms on Tuesday when he responded to an angry fan.

According to Keith, it was Kim who decided to go all anime on the cover -- but, obviously, both parties are currently at an impasse.

Kim reshared several comments that mirrored her point, as well as the original retouched photo she and her team say they approved despite Ebony's final rollout.

Here's further proof Nick Saban no longer has beef with Deion Sanders -- the Alabama legend has nothing but praise for Prime amid Colorado's stellar start to the season ... despite their previous feud over name, image and likeness deals.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer's Buffaloes have been the biggest story in the sport so far this season ... with Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter leading the squad to a 3-0 start.

The boss of the Crimson Tide sidelines was asked about what's going down in Boulder during media availability this week ... and he said he's not surprised one bit -- considering he believes Prime is great at what he does on and off the field.

"I haven't been able to see [Colorado play] a lot," Saban said. "I saw a little bit of the game last week against Colorado State, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders."

"First, he's a great person and he's done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest, but I see their team playing well on the field."

He continued ... "They play with discipline, they do a good job of executing, they've been able to score points, playing decent on defense. So all those things, to me, are indicators that he's a really good coach and I've always thought that."

The two Aflac spokesmen certainly didn't see eye to eye a year ago ... with Prime calling Saban a liar for claiming he paid a million bucks to get Hunter (a 5-star recruit at the time) to commit to his former Jackson State squad.

They later made up at a commercial shoot ... where they laughed the whole thing off.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's handsy night at the theater has a Colorado bar getting flooded with a bunch of negative reviews ... all because the guy she was foolin' around with owns it.

Lauren's date that night, Quinn Gallagher, owns Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, and folks online have been taking to Yelp to express their distaste -- but they're more enraged about his night out as opposed to the actual biz.

One Yelper said Quinn is "disruptive & disrespectful in public places," an obvious reference to last week's caught-on-camera moment while he and Boebert were enjoying "Beetlejuice" the musical ... and each other.

Another wrote, "This place sucks unless you admire an owner that dates Boobert [sic] and causes a ruckus at a theater play" -- while someone else added, "The owner is doinking 36 year old Grandma Boebert, who supported an insurrection against America!"

The chatter on Yelp has gotten so bad, the platform had to temporarily disable reviews -- something the site often does when it sees a rapid uptick in folks review-bombing a business.

It didn't stop there, though -- Hooch's Facebook page was met with the same negative energy ... and its Instagram account has also turned off comments.

As we reported, we got Lauren in D.C., and she told us Quinn is a great guy, but a second date isn't in their future ... something she openly attributes to their political differences.

Shannon Beador was allegedly pretty boozed up ahead of her car crash and DUI arrest -- we're told she was at a nearby bar, complaining about a certain former 'RHOC' star.

A witness tells TMZ ... Shannon was with her pal and business partner, Steve Muller, at "A Restaurant" -- that's the real name -- in Newport Beach, CA on Saturday night. FYI, the spot is about half a mile from where she crashed her car later in the night.

We're told Shannon appeared tipsy while hanging at the bar the entire time, but it's unclear exactly what she was sippin' on. As one witness put it ... she was loud and boisterous through the night, with her arms flailing in the air.

A fan even snapped a pic with the reality star as the night went on.

We're told Shannon was overheard at one point complaining about former 'Housewives' star Alexis Bellino, who was also in the restaurant -- although, that allegedly didn't stop Shannon from bitching about her to other people nearby, with real animosity in the air.

When reached for comment, Alexis told TMZ ... "When my girlfriends and I arrived for a fun night out together, it was soon brought to my attention that Shannon was also at the same restaurant. Shannon and I did not interact that night, but it greatly saddens me to learn that she may harbor negative feelings or resentment toward me, as I was not involved in Jim Bellino's lawsuit against Shannon. From one single mother to another, I wish Shannon nothing but the best as I know she is facing trying times ahead."

In case you didn't know, Alexis is referring to her ex-husband, Jim, who filed a million-dollar defamation lawsuit against Shannon and Tamra Judge in 2018, claiming they talked smack about his business on a podcast.

Don't forget, Shannon's night at the bar came hours before video showed her car slamming into the side of a home ... leading up to her arrest for DUI and hit-and-run.

El toqueteo de Lauren Boebert y su cita en el teatro han inundado de críticas negativas a un bar de Colorado, y todo, porque el hombre con el que estaba jugando es el dueño.

La cita de Lauren esa noche, Quinn Gallagher, es dueño del Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar en Aspen, y la gente han estado acudiendo a Yelp para expresar su disgusto con el lugar, aunque las personas están más enfurecidos por su actuación esa noche que con bar.

Un Yelper comentó que Quinn es "disruptivo e irrespetuoso en lugares públicos", una referencia obvia al momento capturado la semana pasada en un video, en donde se los ve a él y a la diputada Boebert disfrutando del musical de "Beetlejuice"... y de algo más.

Otro escribió: "Este lugar apesta a menos que admires a un propietario que salga con Boobert [sic] y cause un alboroto en una obra de teatro". Mientras que alguien más añadió: "¡El propietario se está tirando a Boebert, la abuela de 36 años que apoyó una insurrección contra América!"

Los comentarios en Yelp han llegado a tal punto que la plataforma ha tenido que desactivar temporalmente sus reseñas, algo que el sitio a menudo hace cuando ve un rápido aumento de personas bomberando un negocio de críticas.

Pero la avalancha no se detuvo ahí. La página de Facebook de Hooch recibió la misma energía negativa y su cuenta de Instagram también desactivó los comentarios.

Como informamos, Lauren está en DC, y nos dijo que Quinn es un gran tipo, pero no está en el horizonte una segunda cita, algo que atribuye abiertamente a sus diferencias políticas.

Shannon Beador estaba supuestamente borracha al momento del accidente de carro que terminó en arresto. Nos informan que estaba en un bar cercano quejándose de un viejo amor de "RHOC".

Un testigo nos infomó que Shannon estaba con su amigo y socio de negocios, Steve Muller, en "A Restaurant" (sí, ese es el nombre real) en Newport Beach California el sábado por la noche. Para tu informacion, el lugar está a media milla de donde estrelló su carro más tarde por la noche.

Nos dicen que Shannon parecía ebria en el bar, pero no está claro exactamente lo que estaba bebiendo. Como un testigo dijo; fue ruidosa y bulliciosa durante toda la noche, incluso agitó sus brazos en el aire.

Un fan incluso se tomó una foto con la estrella de reallity cuando la noche se encendió.

Nos dicen que se pudo escuchar a Shannon quejándose de la ex estrella de "Housewives" Alexis Bellino, que también estaba en el restaurante, aunque supuestamente no impidió que Shannon se quejara de ella a otras personas cercanas con verdadera animosidad en el aire.

Cuando se le pidió un comentario, Alexis le dijo a TMZ: "Cuando mis amigas y yo llegamos para una noche de diversión, pronto me mencionaron que Shannon estaba en el mismo restaurante. Shannon y yo no interactuamos esa noche, pero me entristece mucho saber que ella puede albergar sentimientos negativos o resentimiento hacia mí ya que yo no estaba involucrada en la demanda de Jim Bellino contra Shannon. De una madre soltera a otra, le deseo a Shannon sólo lo mejor, ya que sé que se enfrenta a tiempos difíciles por delante."

Por si no lo sabías, Alexis se refiere a su ex marido, Jim, quien presentó una demanda millonaria por difamación contra Shannon y Tamra Judge en 2018, alegando que hablaron mal de su negocio en un podcast.

No nos olvidemos de que todo este asunto del bar fue horas antes del incidente capturado en video que mostraba su carro estrellándose contra el lado de una casa, lo que llevó a su arresto por conducir bajo efecto del alcohol y fuga.

The passenger who was filming and cackling while his buddy struck and killed a man riding his bike has been arrested.

The unnamed suspect was taken into custody Tuesday in Clark County -- this according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which says they have their man. His identity has yet to be revealed ... he's also a minor -- just like his alleged accomplice.

The DAs said on Tuesday the 2 males are expected to be tried as adults, however. It was also revealed a student at a local school showed the shocking video to an officer on campus, which was how the department first learned of it.

Andreas Probst's daughter, Taylor, spoke about the loss of her father at the press conference ... saying her family is "devastated by the senseless murder" that took place last month, saying the death is a direct result of "society's decayed family values" and the effects of social media.

Remember, these two are who cops say is featured in a now notorious video that circulated online ... graphically depicting the murder of 64-year-old Probst, who was simply riding his bicycle down the street when the two guys in the stolen car opted to hit him.

You can hear them talking about it right before they hit the accelerator -- the guy driving asks his passenger if he should go for it ... and the passenger encourages him to do it.

Probst went flying into the air and was left for dead on the road. The two teenagers in the car can be heard laughing it up as they drive away.

Mind you ... right before they ran over Probst, the two had gotten into a separate road rage incident -- where they slammed into another car -- literally just moments beforehand.

However, authorities now say there was a third incident that went down roughly 30 minutes before all of this ... where the 2 teens hit another person on a bike, claiming the passenger was the one behind the wheel this time.

They say the other cyclist and the alleged road rage victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The video has drawn widespread outrage and condemnation ... and Vegas PD has since publicly pleaded for help in ID'ing the other dude. Now, police say they have them both.

Blueface's bringing all the drama in his life back to his music ... returning shots at Lil Baby, and pissing off one baby mama by cozying up to another -- basically, all the markers of a potential hit!!!

On the Cali rapper's new joint, the appropriately titled "Baby Momma Drama," Blueface rips Lil Baby with disrespectful bars for always being so chummy with Michael Rubin ...  "Lil Baby thought he knew me/How you let another grown man feel up on your booty?/Couldn’t be me, boy, I am not a hoochie/You n****s really industry/I am really in the streets."

Blue also addressed the recent attack on his life after refusing to talk to cops ... "Socked a n**** last week and he stabbed me" -- proving rappers save the gory details to boost the credibility of their lyrics!!!

Back to Lil Baby, he and Blue exchanged unpleasantries earlier in the year after Baby seemingly tried to swoop Chrisean Rock on the low, and apparently, their beef isn't cooked yet.

Chrisean and their newborn son Chrisean Jr. are featured throughout the Moti & Midas-directed clip ... putting a lid on their pre-birth blowout from a few weeks ago.

The family bonding was the perfect recipe to piss off Blue's other baby mama Jaidyn Alexis, who claims she ripped up her "Milf Music" recording contract after seeing Chrisean sign hers ... a moment captured in the music video.

Fans think Jaidyn's capping -- she's been a rapping homemaker all summer.

La diputada Lauren Boebert no tiene la culpa de su papelón en el teatro, su marido separado es en realidad responsable de hacerla una soltera cachonda... así lo dice el propio hombre.

Jayson Boebert  —que está en medio de un divorcio en este momento con la congresista de Colorado— usó Facebook el lunes para defender a su próxima ex esposa diciendo que la gente no debe atacar en Lauren por su comportamiento y que en realidad deberían culparlo a él.

Se dirige a los electores escribiendo: "Estoy escribiendo para hacer frente a las profundas preocupaciones que circulan. Viendo los ataques contra Lauren, siento que la gente debe saber la verdad de nuestro matrimonio roto y la carga que ha llevado durante demasiado tiempo."

Jayson continúa elogiando a Lauren como una madre excepcional, esposa y abuela añadiendo que ella era una maravillosa esposa y compañera en su matrimonio, es decir, antes de que él rompiera su confianza engañándola. Parece que está atribuyendo a que su decisión de presentar en mayo.

Él lo pone muy claramente, explicando: "Este ha sido un divorcio devastador en el que tengo toda la responsabilidad. Me molesta que todo el mundo cree que me dejó por la fama o un nuevo estilo de vida. Eso está muy lejos de la realidad. Por otra parte, la mayor parte de lo que se dice de nuestra familia es falso. Otra batalla a la que nos hemos enfrentado juntos durante demasiado tiempo. Gran parte de esto recae sobre mí porque el problema empieza por la raíz. Yo soy la raíz".

Jayson dice que ha hecho sufrir mucho a la diputada Boebert y cree que es debido a este dolor por lo que ella podría haber actuado de esta manera. A continuación, hace una propuesta personal a ella personalmente, diciendo que está detrás de ella y condena los ataques que viene su camino en las consecuencias.

Una última súplica al público de JB: "Les pido a todos que muestren gracia y misericordia hacia Lauren en esta temporada problemática. Ella merece una oportunidad para ganarse su perdón y recuperar la confianza. La he destrozado de muchas maneras pero saldrá fortalecida como siempre lo hace, y yo también".

En cuanto a la propia representante de Boebert, ella ha reaccionado al mensaje de Jayson diciendo que aprecia sus sentimientos, pero se detiene en decir que hay algún tipo de reconciliación en el horizonte.

Ella ha manejado esto tan bien como puede, asumiendo la responsabilidad y volviendo a trabajar en DC. Como ella nos explicó ayer en la cámara ... no más fechas por el momento.

Rep. Lauren Boebert isn't to blame for her raunchy theater hookup -- her estranged husband is actually responsible for making her a horny single ... so says the man himself.

Jayson Boebert -- who's in the middle of a divorce right now with the Colorado congresswoman -- took to Facebook Monday to defend his soon-to-be ex-wife ... saying that people shouldn't pile on Lauren for her behavior, and instead come after him.

He addresses RLB's constituents, writing ... "I am writing to address the deep concerns circulating. Watching the attacks against Lauren, I feel the people should know the truth of our broken marriage and burden she has carried for too long."

Jayson goes on to praise Lauren as an exceptional mom, wife and grandmother -- adding that she was a wonderful spouse and partner in their marriage ... that is, before he shattered her trust by cheating. It seems he's attributing that to her decision to file in May.

He puts it quite plainly ... explaining, "This has been a devastating divorce that I hold all responsibility for. It upsets me that everyone believes she left me over fame or a new lifestyle. That is far from the truth. Then again, most of what’s said about our family is untrue. Another battle we have faced together for too long. Much of this is on me because the problem starts at the root. I am the root."

Jayson says he's put Rep. Boebert through the wringer, and believes it's because of this pain that she might've acted out this way. He then makes a personal overture to her personally, saying he stands behind her and condemns the attacks coming her way in the fallout.

One final plea to the public from JB ... "I am asking for you all to show grace and mercy towards Lauren in this troubling season. She deserves a chance to earn your forgiveness and regain trust. I have broke her down in so many ways, but she will come out stronger as she always does, and so will I."

As for Rep. Boebert herself -- she's reacted to Jayson's message, saying she appreciates his sentiments, but stops short of saying there's any sort of reconciliation on the horizon.

She's been handling this as well as she can -- taking responsibility and getting back to work in D.C. As she explained to us on camera yesterday ... no more dates for the time being.

Colorado State defensive back Henry Blackburn is on the receiving end of death threats after laying a controversial hit on Travis Hunter during Saturday's game ... and now, university police tell TMZ Sports an investigation into the hateful messages is underway.

Blackburn received a ton of heat for his massive late hit on the Colorado receiver in the first half of the Rams vs. Buffaloes matchup... which left Hunter sidelined for weeks with a lacerated liver.

Some looked at Blackburn's tackle as targeting ... including LeBron James, who went on X to say, "That was blatant and uncalled for IMO!"

Shortly after the tackle went viral on social media, the safety and his family were singled out by furious fans ... and we're told cops are taking the interactions seriously.

"CSUPD is aware of death threats against CSU football player Henry Blackburn, and the investigation is ongoing," a university police spokesperson told us on Monday.

"The police department will continue to monitor the situation, and the university is actively supporting the player and his family."

CSUI athletic director Joe Parker told Pete Thamel of ESPN he's concerned for Blackburn ... saying Henry never meant to hurt Hunter or anyone on the field.

"It's not what we teach or coach," Parker said. "We hope that the irrational vitriol directed at Henry stops immediately."

Michigan State University has informed Mel Tucker of its plans to fire him ... just days after the suspended Spartans football coach was accused of sexual misconduct.

Rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy recently claimed Tucker made unsolicited sexual comments and masturbated during an April 2022 phone call ... which led to a formal Title IX complaint and investigation.

Tucker was suspended on Sept. 10 ... and on Monday, the school announced its plans to terminate his contract for cause.

MSU Vice President Allen Haller said the decision has the support of the administration and board ... adding Tucker has been hit with a written notification of the plans to kick him to the curb.

Haller noted in the statement that Tucker now has seven days to plead his case and try to keep his job.

"This action does not conclude the ongoing Office for Civil Rights case; that rigorous process will continue," Haller said.

Tucker -- who signed a $95 million deal in 2021 -- has adamantly denied any wrongdoing ... admitting he had an intimate relationship with Tracy, but claimed she initiated the private convo with comments of her own.

He also said the allegations were simply an attempt to "revive her career" ... but it's clear the school felt otherwise.

Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid says Jann Wenner's comments about Black and female artists don't come as a total shock to him -- and he's calling on some white rock legends to speak out, but only if they keep it real.

Vernon joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," telling us why the Rolling Stone co-founder calling some iconic Black and female artists inarticulate was "staggering, but not surprising at all."

Keep in mind, Wenner was referring to people like Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell and Grace Slick.

If anything, Vernon's glad Wenner put, in his opinion, his true self out there for all to see.

Maybe the more shocking part is that Vernon says thoughts and feelings like Wenner's are not new to the music industry -- it's just rare for anyone to say it out loud.

TMZ broke the story ... Wenner was kicked out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Board of Directors after sharing his controversial thoughts in an interview with the NYT -- discussing his upcoming book, "The Masters," which highlights his interviews with 7 white, male artists.

In Vernon's opinion, folks in the book like Bruce Springsteen and Bono should speak out about Wenner's comments, on one condition -- that it comes from the heart, rather than issuing performative statements for PR purposes.

Another day, another freak-out on a commercial airline ... but this time it involved a statuesque model type in a sexy bodysuit.

The mystery woman got into heated exchanges with some of the other passengers aboard the plane while boasting about how she's "Instagram famous."

Check out this 20-second clip posted on X, which shows the woman arguing with one passenger as she removes her suitcase from an overhead bin. She yells, "Call me a b***h again, I didn't do anything wrong."

After another passenger tells her to shut up, she barks back, "No you shut the f*** up! You shut the f*** up, and your b***h.'

She saunters down the aisle passing someone who is filming her, and she suddenly strikes a pose, bragging, "Film me - I'm Instagram famous, you f*****g bum."

As she walks out of frame, she curses at more passengers, who, by now, are just laughing at her.

The circumstances of where, when and how this all went down are still unknown, but we're in the process of gathering the facts and, once we get the details, we'll report back to you.

Of course, this type of nutty behavior has been a constant problem on commercial jets. Everyone remembers the Tiffany Gomas meltdown aboard an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando in July, when she screamed "Stop the f**king flight" and "That motherf***er isn't real!"

We're guessing this latest woman is going to be Instagram famous, but for all the wrong reasons very soon.

For more viral news, tune in to the TMZ Verified Podcast. Dropping every Thursday on all podcast platforms.

Hemos identificado a esta pasajera tan segura de sí misma y según su página de IG, se llama Morgan Osman.

En cuanto a si es realmente "famosa en Instagram", bueno, desde que se publicó este video tiene 975.000 seguidores. No llega al preciado millón pero este truco probablemente la lleve allí.

Otro día, otra locura en una aerolínea comercial, pero esta vez se trataba de una modelo escultural en un body muy sexy.

La misteriosa mujer se metió en acalorados intercambios con algunos de los pasajeros a bordo del avión mientras se jactaba de cómo ella es "famosa de Instagram."

Échale un vistazo a este clip de 20 segundos publicado en X que muestra a la mujer discutiendo con un pasajero mientras saca su maleta de un compartimento superior. Le grita: "Vuelve a llamarme b***h, no he hecho nada malo".

Cuando otro pasajero le dice que se calle, ella le ladra: "¡No, cállate tú! Cállate tú y tu p***

Se pasea por el pasillo junto a alguien que la está grabando y de repente hace una pose, presumiendo: "Fílmame, soy famosa en Instagram, vago de mierda".

Mientras sale del plano, maldice a más pasajeros que, a estas alturas, se ríen de ella.

Aún se desconocen las circunstancias de dónde, cuándo y cómo ocurrió todo esto, pero estamos recopilando los hechos y en cuanto tengamos los detalles los daremos a conocer.

Por supuesto, este tipo de comportamiento chiflado ha sido un problema constante en los aviones comerciales. Todo el mundo recuerda la crisis de Tiffany Gomas a bordo de un vuelo de American Airlines de Dallas a Orlando en julio, cuando gritó "Paren el pu** vuelo" y "¡Esa hija de p*** no es real!".

Tinashe says she regrets her collaboration with Chris Brown -- something he heard loud and clear, and which he didn't kindly to ... trashing her by suggesting she's not big time.

The singer was on a podcast earlier this week and at one point, she was asked about her R. Kelly and CB joints in 2015 ... which made Tinashe cringe, not to mention explain. She actually laughs out loud in distancing herself, saying she didn't want to work with them.

For the R. Kelly team-up -- 'Let's Be Real Now' -- she says she blocks that memory out of her mind. Tinashe also says it was strictly a label decision ... and says the same thing applied for her Chris collab. From her POV, having him on the song didn't make sense.

Of course, most media outlets ran headlines pointing out Tinashe seemingly bashing Chris -- even though she really didn't go all that hard on him -- and Chris caught wind of it.

He responded to an IG post that captured a headline which read, "Tinashe Regrets 2015 Collaborations with R. Kelly & Chris Brown: 'That Is So Embarrassing.'" In the comments, Chris wrote, "NAME 5 TINASHE songs or die ... EVERYBODY DEAD."

After Chris's burn, the Internet has reacted a couple different ways -- naturally, many people are slamming Chris for trying to diminish Tinashe's career ... and some are even saying they couldn't name 5 Chris Brown songs with a gun to their head. Twitter's calling cap, though.

Fact is, Chris has far more recognizable of a catalog than Tinashe does ... and a more decorated music career in general. Others are also saying the song they did -- that Tinashe now regrets -- is actually a bop ... going on to speculate that she's only saying this because it's fashionable these days to stiff-arm CB over his controversial personal history.

Joyner Lucas put it quite well in a video ... saying he'd defend Chris to the death, and that he wouldn't accept any slander of him. Per usual, everyone's divided on the issue.

As for Tinashe ... she's moving on. On Sunday, she appeared to respond to all the hubbub, taking to Twitter and writing ... "Anyways ... stream NEEDS." It's her new single, and that's clearly what she wants to focus on -- as opposed to ancient history.

Still, it is interesting that Chris continues to be as polarizing as he is. Anytime somebody works with him these days -- or even reflects on working with him -- it creates a buzz.
