You Might Want to Rethink

Britney Spears alarmed a lot of people with her knife dance on Instagram, with many looking for answers as to what inspired the dangerous act, and some believe Shakira holds the key.

As we reported, Britney shared a clip of herself Monday with the caption, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today," dancing and clanking the knives together -- even jabbing them in the air.

The singer claimed the blades weren't legit, but they sure didn't sound like props based on the way they hit together.

However, Shakira recently did something pretty similar -- on national television, no less -- and folks think that's where Britney got the inspo.

In case ya missed it, the Colombian pop star gave a show-stopping performance of some of her greatest hits at the MTV VMAs earlier this month ... and at one point, she danced while both of her hands were occupied by 2 thick daggers.

It appears Shakira was paying homage to an Arabic dance, known to some as the dance of the daggers ... and people online think Britney loved what she saw, so that's why she may have tried it out for herself.

Britney's been catching some heat for her video ... and as we've reported, Britney has a fascination with knives that makes her clip a bit more concerning.

Remember, those responsible for Britney's care made a list of recommendations as her conservatorship ended -- with 1 major point being to keep knives away from her.

Sources have told us Britney sees knives as a type of protection, afraid she'd be re-institutionalized ... and we were told she keeps them all around her house, including her bedroom.

Britney Spears alarmó a mucha gente con su baile con cuchillos en Instagram. Muchos buscaron respuestas en cuanto a lo que inspiró la peligrosa performance y algunos creen que Shakira es la clave.

Como informamos, Britney compartió un video el lunes con el mensaje: "Hoy empecé a jugar en la cocina con cuchillos", luego bailó e hizo sonar los cuchillos al chocarlos entre ellos e incluso los clavó en el aire.

La cantante afirmó que los cuchillos no eran reales, pero claramente no sonaban como si fueran de plástico al golpearlos.

Sin embargo, Shakira hizo recientemente algo muy similar —por televisión nada menos— y la gente piensa que ahí es donde Britney obtuvo la inspiración.

En caso de que te lo hayas perdido, la estrella del pop colombiana ofreció una actuación espectacular que incluyó algunos de sus grandes éxitos en los MTV VMA a principios de este mes y en un momento dado bailó mientras sus dos manos estaban ocupadas por 2 gruesas dagas.

Al parecer, Shakira estaba rindiendo homenaje a una danza árabe conocida por algunos como la danza de las dagas. La gente en línea piensa que a Britney le encantó lo que vio y por eso quiso intentarlo ella misma.

Britney ha estado recibiendo un poco de hate por redes sociales y, como hemos informado, tiene una fascinación por los cuchillos que hace que su clip sea un poco más preocupante.

Recordemos que los responsables del cuidado de Britney hicieron una lista de recomendaciones cuando su tutela terminó con 1 punto principal... mantener los cuchillos lejos de ella.

The wife of a New York Jets player is furious with "Jersey Shore" castmate Angelina Pivarnick ... claiming the reality TV star slid into her hubby's direct messages this weekend -- despite knowing he was a married man.

Alexis Bawden -- Nick Bawden's longtime partner -- said the incident happened on Sunday afternoon ... right after the fullback had taken the field to play against the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium in Jersey.

According to Alexis, Pivarnick saw her decked out in gear representing her husband while she was on the sidelines at the stadium ... but ignored it all -- and went on to send a DM to Nick on Instagram anyway.

Alexis says Pivarnick wrote, "See u soon" -- and it made her livid because she believed it was an effort to woo her man.

"I just want to say if you're a fan of her, she's weird," she said in a TikTok slamming Pivarnick. "That's weird. You don't message a married woman's man you're going to see him soon after you see his wife go by on the field. Weirdo."

Pivarnick eventually responded after the TikTok went viral ... saying in a since-deleted statement on her Instagram Stories that she never made a move on the football player.

"This s*** that's being told about me sliding into a married man's IG has gotten out of control," Pivarnick wrote. "His wife is clearly a clout chaser and I only spoke to players I knew and in a friendly way."

"I know she's reaching," she added. "She needs to stop trying to slander me and stop being a liar. I am not into married men and would never write that shit. If she doesn't stop my lawyer will send her a letter of cease and desist soon. Not playing. Add this to TikTok girl. What a joke."

El presidente Joe Biden dijo una vez a los votantes afroamericanos "No sois negros" si no votáis por él, pero debido a su desconocimiento de LL Cool J ... La supuesta Tarjeta Negra de Biden está ahora en entredicho.

El pionero del hip hop fue honrado en la Conferencia Legislativa anual de la Fundación del Caucus Negro del Congreso durante el fin de semana y el Presi vivió una de sus peores meteduras de pata llamándolo "LL J Cool J".

Para empeorar las cosas, cuando Biden trató de recuperarse de ese error, se refirió a LL como "niño" generando cringe entre los espectadores. También trató de arreglar ese error...

Salió así: "Por cierto, ese niño... ese hombre tiene los bíceps más grandes que mis muslos". Madre mía Joe😬.

Los republicanos están usando la metedura de pata verbal como un golpe político pero Charlamagne piensa que es un golpe cultural, dándole al Comandante en Jefe y a su equipo de redacción el titulo de "Burro del Día".

Como señala CTG, Joe cumplirá 81 años dentro de un par de meses y sus guionistas deberían dejar de intentar que parezca moderno, pero aún tiene edad suficiente para recordar los días en que el término "boy" (niño) era un término racista utilizado para menospreciar a los hombres negros.

LL ha sido un rapero superestrella desde los 80s —uno de los primeros del género— y ha estado deletreando su nombre en las canciones hace mucho. Un pedazo de historia americana que CTG dice que el Presi debe saber.

President Joe Biden once told African American voters "You ain't Black" if you don't vote for him, but due to his lack of awareness about LL Cool J ... Biden's alleged Black Card is now being called into question.

The Rock the Bells pioneer was honored at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual Legislative Conference over the weekend, and the Prez pulled one of his worst teleprompter gaffes ... calling him "LL J Cool J."

To make matters worse, as Biden tried to recover from that flub, he referred to LL as "boy" ... making everyone in the crowd cringe ... even though he quickly tried to fix that screw-up, too.

It came out like this, "By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs." Good grief, Joe😬.

Republicans are using the verbal blunder as a political strike, but Charlamagne thinks it's a cultural one ... giving the Commander-in-Chief, and his writing staff, the "Donkey of the Day," and that's not a Democratic compliment!!!

As CTG notes, Joe will be 81 years old in a couple of months and his writers should stop attempting to have him come across as hip ... but he's still old enough to remember the days when the term "boy" was a racist term used to belittle Black men.

LL's also been a superstar rapper since the '80s -- one of the genre's first -- and has been spelling out his name in songs just as long -- a slice of American history CTG says the Prez should know.

Israel Adesanya just issued an apology to his family and beloved fans after pleading guilty to drunk driving ... saying he was wrong to get behind the wheel.

The incident happened on August 19th ... after the 24-3 UFC star had dinner and a few drinks with friends in Auckland, New Zealand.

While driving home, the 34-year-old came across a random breath testing unit ... and allegedly had a reading of 87 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters, which exceeds New Zealand's legal limit of 50 milligrams.

"I want to apologize to the community, my family and my team for the decision I made to get behind the wheel after drinking at a dinner," Adesanya said in a statement.

"I am disappointed with my decision to drive, It was wrong."

Style Bender continued ... "I know that people might follow me and I want them to know I do not think this behavior is acceptable."

Adesanya pleaded guilty in court on Monday ... and is facing a max penalty of three months in jail or a $2,600 fine.

This arrest happened three weeks before Adesanya lost to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia ... which cost him his middleweight title.

3:18 PM PT -- And just like that ... Drake has earned his 12th #1 hit with "Slime You Out" ... the most-ever amongst rappers.

Charlamagne Tha God's predictions that nobody was checking for the song were off ... way off.

Drake is finally firing back at Charlamagne after years of sneak disses ... with the 'Breakfast Club' host's critique of his new song with SZA being the final straw!!!

On Monday, Drake emptied the clip in his IG stories ... addressing Charlamagne by his gov't name while accusing him of harboring envious emotions.

He also compared Charlamagne to a low-budget Morris Chestnut and posted several snapshots of Charlamagne modeling to prove his point! The fans got a kick outta that.

Drake was triggered by Charlamagne's review of "Slime You Out," which he essentially called boring, claiming people checked out shortly after it dropped.

The song is projected to top the Billboard Hot 100 this week so obviously people are listening to it, but Charlamagne says he hears crickets.

Following Drake's blasts, Charlamagne blew off the shots while reacting on-air Monday ... joking that Drake picks a beef with him every time it's time for an album rollout.

The two had their back-and-forth exchanges over the years but as Charlamagne remembers things, they buried the hatchet at the conclusion of Drake's beef with Meek Mill around 2015.

Un policía del estado de Pensilvania fue arrestado por internar ilegalmente a su ex novia en un psiquiátrico, pero su plan salió mal luego de ser grabado sujetándola violentamente mientras ella rogaba por su liberación.

Ronald Davis fue detenido el pasado jueves y acusado de delito grave de estrangulamiento, restricción ilegal, detención ilegal, asalto simple, imprudentemente poner en peligro a otra persona y opresión policial.

El Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Dauphin dijo que Davis está casado y tiene familia, pero tenía una "relación íntima" con su ahora ex novia.

Davis supuestamente aseguró ilegalmente una orden de internamiento involuntario y tenía a la mujer interna en un centro de salud mental en contra de su voluntad de acuerdo con una denuncia ante un tribunal penal.

Un amigo acompañó a Davis para grabarlo mientras detenía a la mujer antes de entregar el vídeo al fiscal, que lo hizo público.

Échale un vistazo al perturbador registro... Davis está sentado encima de la mujer, manoseándola en el suelo.

Ella le suplica que la deje, diciendo: "Esto no es normal. ¿Puedo levantarme? No he hecho nada malo, excepto estar en desacuerdo contigo".

La mujer intenta liberarse, luchando con Davis y dándole codazos en la espalda.

Pero Davis es demasiado fuerte y la mantiene bajo su control hasta que llegan más policías y es llevada al hospital para ser evaluada. La mujer pasó cinco días enteros en el pabellón psiquiátrico antes de ser dada de alta, pero no debería haber estado allí en primer lugar.

A Pennsylvania State Police Trooper allegedly had his ex-girlfriend illegally committed to a psych ward, but his crazy plan backfired after he was caught on video violently restraining her as she begged for her release.

Ronald Davis was arrested last Thursday and charged with felony strangulation, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and official oppression.

The Dauphin County District Attorney said Davis is married with a family, but had an "intimate relationship" with his now former girlfriend.

Davis allegedly unlawfully secured an involuntary commitment order and had the woman tossed in a mental health facility against her will, according to a criminal court complaint.

A friend went along with Davis to record him taking the woman into custody before turning the video over to the D.A., who released it publicly.

Check out the disturbing clip ... Davis is sitting on top of the woman, manhandling her on the ground.

She pleads with him to get off her, telling him, "This isn't normal. Can I please get up? I didn't do anything wrong except disagree with you."

The woman tries to break free, wrestling with Davis and elbowing him in the back.

But, Davis is too strong and keeps her under his control until more cops arrive and she's taken to the hospital to be evaluated. The woman spent five whole days in the psych ward before getting discharged -- but she shouldn't have been there in the first place.

The latest round of negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP is said to be wrapping up soon ... with either an agreement to end the strike, or a signal to hit the picket lines again.

Leadership from both parties -- including a reported handful of high-profile CEOs from the major studios -- have been hashing out a new deal over the past several days ... which has crept into the weekend and into the wee hours of the night.

As of Sunday, reports say the AMPTP has given WGA its "best and final" offer ... a leaked line that hasn't sat well with normie members -- who are scoffing at the notion of that.

Basically, the WGA has to read all the fine print now and make sure they're good with the terms the studio bosses are offering ... and it sounds like the devil is in the details, as lawyers pore over the paperwork and go back and forth with union brass -- who, of course, speak on behalf of countless individuals who are currently on strike from East to West.

A lot of the nitty gritty pertains to money, AI and more guaranteed writers in writer rooms -- among other sticking points -- but the idea that these terms from AMPTP are the best they can realistically do suggests they won't come to the table for a while if WGA turns it down.

There's also this ... Yom Kippur -- the holiest of Jewish holidays -- is literally about to start come sundown Sunday ... and many have reported the AMPTP wants an answer before then.

Considering it's already past 6 PM PT right now ... something tells us this baby is gonna get kicked down the road and dealt with another day. Don't get us started on SAG-AFTRA ... which is on its own strike right now, and which isn't anywhere near a deal either.

Maluma es el último famoso al que le han tirado algo durante una actuación, pero hay que ver cómo lo ha afrontado... el chico se ha convertido en un padre decepcionado.

El cantante colombiano estaba haciendo lo suyo en un concierto el jueves en San Antonio a bordo de un crucero. Todo marchaba bien hasta alguien cerca de la primera fila lanzó su teléfono celular e hizo contacto con el cantante

Afortunadamente no le golpeó en la cabeza ni nada, parece que el teléfono sólo golpeó su torso, pero definitivamente lo notó y se detuvo por completo.

Échale un vistazo a estas imágenes obtenidas por TMZ que captan la reacción de Maluma... es hilarante.

El tipo se acerca a un lado del escenario, identifica al delincuente y luego le da un gran "no-no" (meneando el dedo), de la misma forma en la que un padre corrige a un niño. El mensaje es claro... ¡¡¡no hagas eso!!!

Ahora, para un poco de contexto, testigos presenciales nos dicen que la razón por la que el teléfono podría haber sido arrojado es que Maluma había agarrado el teléfono de otro fan y se tomó una selfie con él. Presumiblemente esta persona estaba tratando de conseguir algo similar.

Maluma is the latest celeb to get something chucked at him during a performance -- but you gotta see how he dealt with it ... homeboy turned into a disappointed parent.

The Colombian singer was doing his thing at a concert Thursday in San Antonio ... cruising along just fine -- that is, until somebody near the front row hurled their cell phone at him, which made contact.

Fortunately, it didn't hit him in the head or anything -- looks like the phone just tapped his torso -- but the guy definitely noticed it ... and he completely stopped down.

Check out this footage, obtained by TMZ, that captures Maluma's reaction ... it's hilarious.

The dude comes over to the side of the stage, apparently IDs the perp and then gives 'em a big no-no finger wag -- the way a dad might to a toddler or something. The message is clear ... don't do that!!!

Now, for some context ... eyewitnesses tell us the reason the phone might've been tossed to him is because just moments earlier -- Maluma had actually grabbed another fan's phone and taken a selfie with it. Presumably, this person was trying to get something similar.

Alex Hall has been getting dragged after what some perceived as her trying to make a Black woman sound angry and unhinged -- and a fellow cast member says it's well-deserved.

We spoke to 'Selling the OC' star Kayla Cardona -- who's very familiar with what has fans up in arms now that Season 2 has officially come to a close ... with unsettled business between Alex and Brandi Marshall -- who got in a huge fight on the show.

The drama between them all stems from Brittany Snow's ex, Tyler Stanaland ... and Brandi accusing Alex of being "messy" when it comes to pursuing him. It was a feud that simmered all season and eventually came to an ugly head during an argument in Cabo -- which was caught on camera and obviously aired on Netflix.

During that shouting match ... many felt Alex was hurling racist microaggressions at Brandi by suggesting she was going to swing on her and trying to paint her as violent. That didn't occur in the moment -- Brandi kept her cool -- but there was a lot of chatter after the fact.

Like we said, AH has been taking it on the chin on Twitter ... and in our convo with Kayla -- who was front and center for all of that during filming -- she says succinctly, "If the shoe fits."

Take a listen for yourself to see what she remembers from that day ... and what apparently happened off-camera too. Based on how KC describes it -- it sounds like things might've been even nastier behind the scenes.

Michael Caine no entiende por qué los actores necesitan ayuda extra para las escenas de sexo en el siglo 21 y recuerda los viejos tiempos cuando los actores simplemente fingían orgasmos así. 🫰

Este fin de semana, el caballero actor contó sus pensamientos poco convencionales al Daily Mail, durante una entrevista en la que hablaban de su última película, "El gran fugitivo", que, según Caine, podría ser su última película.

Mientras charlaban surgió el tema del #MeToo, específicamente en lo que respecta a los coordinadores de intimidad (un papel en los sets que realmente creció y se convirtió en la corriente principal después de 2016).

Esto es lo que Mikey tenía que decir al respecto: "¿En serio? ¿En serio? ¿Qué son? Nunca tuvimos eso en mis días. Gracias a Dios que tengo 90 años y ya no interpreto amantes es todo lo que puedo decir ".

Y añade: "En mis tiempos sólo hacías la escena de amor sin que nadie interfiriera. Todo ha cambiado". Además dio su opinión sobre la corrección política en general, diciendo: "Es aburrido. No poder decir lo que piensas y no poder llamar a nadie 'cariño'".

Dicho esto, Michael también dice que le gusta aprender de amigos que son más jóvenes que él.

Es un sentimiento interesante, aunque un poco anticuado. Lo cierto es que los actores de hoy en día llevan años alabando a los coordinadores de la intimidad diciendo que son increíblemente útiles para hacer que el reparto y el equipo se sientan más cómodos, por no hablar de garantizar la seguridad en el set.

Michael Caine doesn't get why actors need extra help navigating sex scenes in the 21st century -- reminiscing on the old days when ... thespians just faked orgasms like that. 🫰

The knighted actor spilled his unconventional thoughts to the Daily Mail this weekend -- this during an interview in which they were discussing his latest flick "The Great Escaper," which MC says may well be his last movie at his ripe old age.

As they chatted, the topic of #MeToo came up ... specifically as it pertains to intimacy coordinators -- a role on sets that really grew and became mainstream post-2016.

Here's what Mikey had to say about it ... "Really? Seriously? What are they? We never had that in my day. Thank god I’m 90 and don’t play lovers anymore is all I can say."

He adds, "In my day you just did the love scene and got on with it without anyone interfering. It’s all changed." MC wasn't done just yet though ... he gave his opinion on political correctness at large, saying ... "[I]t’s dull. Not being able to speak your mind and not being able to call anyone 'darling.'"

With that said, Michael also says he likes learning from friends who are younger than him.

It's an interesting sentiment -- if not a little outdated. Fact is, modern-day actors have been singing the praises of intimacy coordinators for years now ... saying they're incredibly helpful in making the cast and crew more comfortable, not to mention ensuring safety on set.

Una mujer parece haber quedado inconsciente después de que alguien le arrojara un neumático suelto durante una pelea absolutamente loca entre policías y ciudadanos en Gales, y todo quedó registrado en video.

La violencia del clip es bastante brutal. Este muestra un grupo de personas, no demasiado grande, luchando directamente con un puñado de policías en las calles de Wrexham, específicamente, en el pueblo de Rhosllanerchrugog.

Se ve a los policías tratando de luchar contra un hombre en un barrio residencial, con un montón de gente (presumiblemente vecinos) mirando, incluyendo muchos niños. Algunos de los transeúntes adultos también parecen perderse entre el grupo. Lo que es seguro, es que es un completo caos.

Al final, pareciera que la policía piensa que está rodeada de ciudadanos hostiles y saca sus porras, les piden que retrocedan y los amenazan con golpearlos. Un oficial incluso despliega su spray de pimienta mientras los otros policías siguen tratando con alguien en el suelo.

Es entonces cuando un gran neumático de bicicleta es lanzado de la nada por alguien en la multitud. Parece que iba dirigido a uno de los policías, pero golpea a una inocente mujer que estaba de pie que cae al suelo de inmediato y se golpea fuertemente con el suelo. La gente se asusta, y otra mujer con un bebé la examina.

El video se corta después de eso, por lo que no está claro lo que sucedió después. La policía de Gales del Norte se ha referido al incidente, que ocurrió el jueves. Dicen que los oficiales fueron desplegados para responder a los reclamos de desorden público, pero no dicen lo que pasó exactamente.
