BANDAGED AGAIN

Britney Spears once again appears to have injured herself in the wake of her troubling knife dance videos -- this time, it's one of her extremities that looks to have been cut.

The pop star posted and deleted this video over the weekend ... which depicts her twirling around in her home like usual -- only this time, she's got her right index finger bandaged up. She's certainly not hiding the injury ... prominently flashing it in her routine.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Like we said, this clip got thrown up on her official IG account ... and it was quickly removed, but not before eagle-eyed fans spotted it and screen-recorded too. In its place is a separate dance video that shows BS dancing with no bandage in sight -- and seemingly fine.

Of course, the fact she seems to have outed herself here -- having experienced another apparent cut -- is deeply concerning after her recent knife prop fascination ... which looks real, despite what she's insisted (namely, that the blades are fake).

BANDAGED UP

Remember ... just a couple of weeks ago, she posted other dance videos that appeared to feature even more injuries, including some on her leg, her arm and her hip. Now, a diced finger?

JUST JOKIN'???

There's been no explanation from Britney on this newest dance vid ... but her loyal fan base continues to express apprehension over her state of being. Some say she doesn't look well.

BTW ... it sounds like Britney might be home from her French Polynesian vacation, although it's hard to tell for sure. Some of these clips she posts could very well be old recordings.

BRITNEY SPEARS Publica y Borra Video de Baile CON EL DEDO VENDADO

con vendajes otra vez

Britney Spears se ha lesionado una vez más a raíz de sus polémicos y arriesgados bailes con cuchillos. Esta vez, es una de sus extremidades la que parece haber sido cortada.

La estrella del pop publicó y borró un video durante el fin de semana que la mostraba bailando en su casa como de costumbre, solo que esta vez se podía apreciar que su dedo índice derecho estaba vendado. Claramente no estaba ocultando la lesión y se podía ver fácilmente durante su rutina.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Este clip fue lanzado en su cuenta oficial de IG y fue retirado rápidamente, pero no antes de que los fans con ojos de águila lo vieran y lo grabaran también. En su lugar, hay un video de baile distinto que muestra a Britney bailando sin vendajes y aparentemente bien.

El hecho de que ella haya borrado un video luego de aparecer con vendajes es bastante preocupante, sobre todo luego de la reciente polémica de su baile con cuchillos que pese a que ella dijo que eran falsos, la verdad es que se ven bastante reales (al igual que las heridas).

Recordemos que hace solo un par de semanas, publicó otros videos de baile que parecían presentar aún más lesiones, incluyendo algunas en la pierna, el brazo y la cadera. Ahora, ¿un dedo cortado?

No ha habido ninguna explicación de Britney sobre este nuevo video, pero su fiel base de fans sigue expresando preocupación por su estado de salud. Algunos dicen que ella no se ve bien.

Teresa Giudice Offered Cop Family Biz Cards ... During April Traffic Stop

TAKE A CARD, ANY CARD
Riverdale Police Department

Teresa Giudice seemed to have tried the old "Don't you know who I am?" trick during a traffic stop ... and while it's unclear if it worked, she lucked out with a friendly cop.

The 'RHONJ' star got pulled over back in April out in Riverdale, NJ ... this after a police officer apparently saw her swerving in and out of lanes during a night drive. The body cam footage -- which seems to have just been released -- shows his interaction with her.

Check it out ... the cop asks for Teresa's driver's license, and she forks it over -- but also tries sneaking some extra identifying information in the form of "family business cards."

The officer laughs it off, saying those won't be necessary ... and then heads back to his car to dive into her background. He's perusing her record for a bit, and then eventually heads back to talk to Teresa -- at which point he lets her off the hook with a simple warning.

Teresa sounds grateful ... telling the officer that she tends to drive a little crooked, and she even makes a random mention of her father dying. The whole chat is super chummy.

Again, we're not sure if the cop here realized who he was dealing with -- a celeb, especially around those parts in NJ -- but in any case ... he cut TG a break. She should count herself lucky ... especially since she famously ran into serious legal trouble once upon a time.

Teresa's attorney, James Leonard, tells TMZ ... "There is no family business card. That is ridiculous. No such card exists or has ever existed. She was referring to a New Jersey State PBA card that was given to her by an acquaintance who is a law enforcement officer and issued her the card."

Leonard goes on ... "the bigger issue here is why is a video of a woman being pulled over, who did absolutely nothing wrong, being released to the public more than five months after the actual motor vehicle stop happened."

Rihanna Dancin' Up on A$AP for 35th Bday ... After Drake's 'FATD' Diss

Published | Updated
100823_rihanna_kal
best you ever had?!?

Drake may say he's over Rihanna -- but she's the one who truly seems to have moved on ... just peep how happy she looks celebrating A$AP Rocky's big birthday weekend!

The songstress and her baby daddy were raging Friday night after hitting the town on the East Coast to ring A$AP's 35th born day ... which was actually on Oct. 3. Nothing like a prolonged party though -- and that's exactly what RiRi and AR had on their hands here.

It appears to have been an adult-only rager ... sans any sign of their 2 little ones. As far as where exactly they were -- apparently, they started in the Big Apple, and made their way to a go-kart joint in Jersey City after -- though, unclear if that's where this shindig went down.

In any case ... they were living it up big time, dancing up on each other and boogeying on down with their close friends nearby. Rihanna, specifically, made sure to bust out the moves.

We must say, post-delivery of her 2nd son in August -- she's looking pretty damn good ... and about as spry as ever. And dare we say ... she's still hot as hell, despite what Drizzy might be claiming now.

Of course, we're referring to the shots he took in his new song 'Fear Of Heights' -- where he lamented the fact people felt he hadn't moved past RiRi ... while also claiming he'd been with way hotter women than her -- and also, he suggested A$AP was "stuck" with Rihanna.

In the wake of his latest dig at his ex ... Drake's been getting dragged across the coals by Rihanna fans -- who were quick to point out how obsessed home boy was back in the day. Remember, he infamously declared his love for her on live TV during the 2016 VMAs.

They actually dated for a bit after that ... but it didn't last, and the relationship fizzled.

A couple years later, Rihanna kinda shaded Drake in a Vogue cover story ... saying this about the status of their relationship, "We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. It is what it is." The outlet also noted her "eyes glaze[d] over with cool indifference."

She hasn't talked much about him since, but Drizzy's still going on about her ... a mom of 2, who's in a committed relationship ... and who's billionaire fashion mogul.

Time to turn the page, eh?

RIHANNA BAILANDO CON A$AP POR SU 35 CUMPLEAÑOS Luego de polémica canción de Drake

bailando toda la noche

Drake puede decir que ha superado a Rihanna, pero ella es la que realmente parece haber seguido adelante, ¡solo hay que ver lo feliz que se ve celebrando el gran fin de semana de cumpleaños de A$AP Rocky!

La cantante y el papá del bebé llegaron a la ciudad de la Costa Este para celebrar el cumpleaños número 35 de A$AP, que en realidad era el 3 de octubre. Nada como una fiesta prolongada ¿cierto?

Parece que la fiesta era estrictamente para adultos, ya que no había señal de sus dos pequeños. En cuanto a dónde estaban exactamente; al parecer, encendieron los motores en la Gran Manzana y después se dirigieron a una pista de go-kart en Jersey aunque, no está claro si ahí es donde se llevó a cabo la fiesta.

En cualquier caso, se lo pasaron en grande, bailando uno encima del otro y compartiendo con sus amigos cercanos. Rihanna, en concreto, se aseguró de bailar a lo grande.

Debemos decir que después de dar a luz a su segundo hijo en agosto, tiene muy buen aspecto y está más ágil que nunca. Nos atrevemos a decir sigue siendo hot como el infierno a pesar de lo que Drake podría decir.

Por supuesto, nos referimos a las cosas que dijo en su nueva canción "Fear Of Heights", donde lamentó el hecho de que la gente sentía que no había superado a la cantante, mientras afirmaba que había estado con mujeres mucho más atractivas que ella, además de sugerir que A$AP estaba "atrapado" con Rihanna.

Drake ha recibido mucho hate de parte de los fans de Rihanna debido a esta última canción, además se apresuraron a señalar lo obsesionado que estuvo alguna vez por la estrella del pop. Recordemos que él, infamemente, declaró su amor por ella en la televisión en vivo durante los VMA 2016.

La verdad es que salieron un poco después de eso pero no duró, y la relación se esfumó.

Un par de años más tarde Rihanna mencionó a Drake en una portada de Vogue, diciendo esto sobre su relación: "No tenemos una amistad ahora, pero no somos enemigos tampoco. Es lo que es". El medio también señaló que sus "ojos brillaban con fría indiferencia".

Ella no ha hablado mucho sobre él desde entonces, pero Drake todavía habla de ella; una madre de 2 que está en una relación comprometida y que es una magnate multimillonaria de la moda.

Es hora de pasar la página, ¿eh?

MIEMBRO DE LA BANDA 5IVE ¡Todos podemos compartir una cerveza!

Published

Los chicos de 5ive dicen que quieren dejar atrás su larga disputa con la boy band rival 98 Degree s, a pesar de que el grupo de Nick Lachey, una vez más les envió un mensaje en vivo.

El cantante de 5ive, Ritchie Neville, le comentó a TMZ que la banda realmente desea lo mejor para 98 Degrees y quiere lo mejor para los chicos y sus familias.

PELEA ENTRE BOY BANDS

Esto viene justo después de que 98 Degrees atacara a la boy band británica a principios de esta semana. Nick y el grupo hicieron un hit de radio promocionando sus próximos shows con dos boy bands con las que se llevan bien, All-4-One y O-Town, pero entonces la conversación dio un giro cuando 98 Degrees atacó a 5ive una vez más sacando a relucir su larga disputa.

98 Degrees y los anfitriones criticaron a 5ive por ser la peor boy band de la historia recordando la mala sangre que se remonta a los años 90. Nick y los chicos han hecho esto antes, anteriormente hablando de los 5ive en el show de Andy Cohen, lo que provocó una fuerte respuesta del ex miembro de 5ive Abz Love.

¡MUY ABURRIDO!
Bravo

Pero Ritchie nos dice: "Ellos pueden seguir con ese viejo asunto y la inmadurez si quieren. Nosotros solo seguimos con nuestras vidas, dando conciertos y criando a nuestros hijos".

Según Ritchie, la larga disputa comenzó cuando 98 Degrees fue al Reino Unido en los años 90 para la gira "Smash Hits", donde compartieron el centro de atención con 5ive, una banda que estaba emergiendo en aquel momento en Londres.

Ritchie dice que la rivalidad surgió porque ambas bandas competían por el amor del público durante la gira, y dice que 5ive ganó una votación del público y fue a la Smash Hits Poll Winners Party, una entrega de premios británica televisada. Dice que 98 Degrees se puso celoso y tuvo problemas con 5ive desde entonces.

Richie nos dice: "Todos éramos niños entonces, yo tenía 18 años. Entiendo que perder es duro a veces, pero es una pena que ahora seamos hombres adultos y sigamos con esta rivalidad".

Más de dos décadas después, Ritchie está listo para enterrar el hacha de guerra. Dice que 5ive sólo quiere la paz con 98 Degrees y que las bandas deben dejar el rencor y salir a tomar una cerveza.

5ive Band Member Ritchie Neville Let's Squash Beef With 98 Degrees ... We Can All Share a Beer!!!

The boys from 5ive say they want to drop their longstanding beef with rival boy band 98 Degree s... even though Nick Lachey's group once again called them out live on-air.

5ive singer Ritchie Neville tells TMZ ... the band genuinely wishes 98 Degrees well and wants the best for the guys and their families.

BOY BAND BEEF

This is coming on the heels of 98 Degrees slamming the British boy group earlier this week ... Nick and the group did a radio hit promoting their upcoming shows with two boy bands they get along with, All-4-One and O-Town, but then the convo took a turn when 98 slammed 5ive, once again bringing up their decades-long beef.

98 Degrees and the hosts ripped 5ive for being the worst boy band ever ... recalling bad blood dating back to the '90s. Nick and the guys have done this before, previously calling out 5ive on Andy Cohen's show, which prompted a strong response from former 5ive member Abz Love.

SO LAME!!!
Bravo

But Ritchie tells us ... "They can carry on the beef and immaturity if they want. We're just getting on with our lives, playing gigs and raising our children."

According to Ritchie, the longstanding beef started when 98 Degrees went over to the United Kingdom in the '90s for the "Smash Hits" tour, where they shared the spotlight with 5ive, a new band at the time from London.

Ritchie says the rivalry grew out of both bands competing for the audience's love on tour, and he says 5ive won an audience vote and went to the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party -- a televised British awards show. He says 98 Degrees got jealous and had beef with 5ive ever since.

RN tells us ... "We were all kids then, I was 18. I understand losing is hard sometimes but it's a shame that we are now grown men still carrying on this beef."

Over two decades later, Ritchie is ready to bury the hatchet ... he says 5ive only wants peace with 98 Degrees and the bands should drop the grudge and go out for a beer.

Biden Administration Put on Notice ... After Bombshell Iran-Israel News

Published | Updated

President Biden's administration may or may not be shocked to hear Iran was supposedly instrumental in the lead-up to the attack on Israel ... the implications of which are dire.

The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report Sunday, citing multiple sources from within Hamas, Hezbollah and even a European official with knowledge ... all of whom say Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps worked with Hamas in planning the ambush.

This alleged coordination dates back several weeks, apparently ... with talks going as far back as August and several reported meetings taking place in Beirut between all the parties. In addition to Iran being involved, WSJ reports that Lebanon's Hezbollah was in the mix.

The intention in all this, per WSJ, was two-pronged ... Iran apparently wanted to manufacture a "multi-front threat" against Israel -- this as the country grappled with its own internal politics, while disrupting U.S.-brokered peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

When asked directly about whether the U.S. had any knowledge of Iran's alleged involvement in directing the Hamas-led attack ... Sec. of State Anthony Blinken denied knowing anything about it, saying there was no evidence on their end that was, in fact, the case.

A separate U.S. official said the same thing to the WSJ ... but the outlet is insisting people overseas are saying differently. If what they're saying is true -- it's troubling on many fronts.

UTTER DEVASTATION

For one, it would be an indictment on U.S intelligence ... but it would also indicate that a broader conflict in the Middle East is looming -- with Israel having already gone on the record to say they would retaliate if it was found that Tehran sanctioned this Hamas move.

Time will tell if this account is confirmed ... but it sounds like this might the beginning of a volatile situation that's prolonged and ugly, with the U.S. likely getting roped in even further.

Issa Rae Name Botched at CultureCon ... Audience Corrects Speaker

issa mistake!

Issa Rae is pretty famous these days, which is why this mispronunciation of her name probably stung badly for spectators of this live interview ... and why they spoke up.

The triple threat star -- famous for her show 'Insecure' -- was doing a sit-down Saturday at the CultureCon conference in NYC ... where she was about to answer questions from moderator Glenda McNeal, who's a bigwig over at AmEx.

As McNeal intro'd Issa ... she kinda botched her first name, calling her Ih-suh as opposed to Ee-suh (the correct way to say it). Just as quickly, she was informed by the crowd.

Take a look for yourself ... there was a chorus of "Issa" from the audience, with multiple people shouting out and interruption McNeal's train of thought to let her know she'd said it wrong -- and it clearly took the speaker by surprise, and ditto for IR herself.

McNeal corrected herself, and then apologized ... saying she'd made a mistake, noting she was part of the Black community and meant no harm. Issa seemed to find it hilarious.

No harm, no foul big picture -- but it is a testament to something in the grand scheme of things. Fact is, we're reaching a point when perceived disrespect simply won't be tolerated ... especially among beloved celebs like Issa, who's star is growing brighter by the day.

Anyway, feel free to peep her interview in full ... interesting insights from her here.

Maluma Swats Away Fan ... Who Tries Grabbing At His Crotch

WAY TOO TOUCHY

Everybody wants a piece of Maluma these days -- but that doesn't mean he wants folks going for a handful of the goods ... evidenced here in this video.

Check out this clip of the Colombian singer that made the rounds this weekend -- it shows him walking through a lower-level crowd during his concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, CT ... getting pretty close to adoring fans, and maybe even too close.

As you can see, as people reach out to touch him ... somebody appears to reach for his crotch -- and it looks like they might've even made contact, to Maluma's chagrin.

Right away, he pulls back and kinda swats their hands away ... and gives 'em a little tsk-tsk. Unclear if it's a man or woman who got handsy -- but in any case, Maluma wasn't having it.

Échale un vistazo a este clip del cantante colombiano que lo muestra caminando a través de una multitud en el nivel inferior durante su concierto en el Mohegan Sun Arena en Montville, Connecticut. Se lo ve bastante cerca de los fans que lo adoran.

Como se puede ver, la gente se acercan a tocarlo y alguien parece llegar a su entrepierna (incluso podría haber hecho contacto) para disgusto de Maluma.

Inmediatamente, él se retira y aparta sus manos. No está claro si se trata de un hombre o una mujer pero en cualquier caso, Maluma no estaba contento.

Drake Eviscerates Joe Budden ... After Hatin' on New Album

Drake is for the children
Joe Budden Network

Joe Budden says Drake is an old head trying to appeal to young'ns ... but Drizzy's firing back, telling Joe to shut it in the fiercest way possible.

The podcaster went in on Drake's latest album, "For All the Dogs," during his newest episode of 'The Joe Budden Podcast' -- saying the dude is "rapping for the children" ... while going on to say that Champagne Papi needed to grow up and stop pandering to the youth.

Take a listen for yourself ... Joe seems to think that Drake's too old to be palling around with YouTube streamers (like Kai Cenat) or other Gen Z rappers like Lil Yachty, etc. He also has some words about Drizzy's sex life ... saying, "Stop f****** these 25-year-olds!!!!"

JB's words clearly struck a nerve, 'cause Drake responded with an essay-worth of hate toward the one-time MC -- writing, "@joebudden you have failed at music. You left it behind to do what you are doing in this clip cause this is what actually pays your bills."

There's more ... he adds, "For any artist watching this just remember you are watching a failure give their opinion on his idea of a recipe for success...a quitter give their opinion on how to achieve longevity." Drake has a lot more to say -- and let's just say it's critical.

In response, it seems Joe might be pulling back a bit ... acknowledging he went overboard.

He writes, "I got a little carried away lol the content should mature a bit tho… 1 day." So, definitely a sorry-not-sorry type of thing. Something tells us this is far from over.

Olivia Wilde Backlash Over Taylor Climate Post Ya Globetrotted w/ Harry!!!

Published | Updated

Olivia Wilde thinks Taylor Swift should spotlight real issues, like environmentalism, instead of football -- but some are noting ... she left a big carbon footprint with Harry Styles.

The director/actress is catching flak from Swifties far and wide over a tweet she reposted on her Instagram Stories Friday -- which reads, "I wish Taylor Swift was in love with a climate scientist." Olivia didn't add any extra commentary -- but the sentiment is clear enough.

Of course, many are taking OW's cosigned remarks as straight-up shade toward Taylor and Travis Kelce's relationship ... and it's not going over well among TS's fan base.

One of the biggest criticisms, it seems, lies in the fact that Olivia herself was also recently dating a major pop star -- with whom she traversed the globe over the past few years ... whether it was to promote their film, support his concerts or simply to vacation.

Indeed, Olivia and HS have gone all over together ... jet-setting from L.A. to NYC and to Vegas and Raleigh, NC -- not to mention hitting up Santa Barbara. Overseas, they were photographed in Italy, France and the UK In other words, quite a bit of traveling.

Naturally, in order to have gone to most, if not all, these locations -- they've had to take planes ... and that undoubtedly hurts the environment, something that's being pointed out in the all the backlash aimed at Olivia. While she's been an outspoken advocate for climate change -- even launching an eco-friendly clothing brand -- some say ... this is a bad look.

It's certainly possible that Olivia pays for carbon offsets, etc. -- but in any case ... her opinion seems to have backfired, even if her heart was in the right place. Swing and a miss.

Doja Cat Recibe críticas por usar camiseta de la extrema derecha ... Sam Hyde como meme

Published | Updated

Doja Cat está siendo acusada una vez más de ser complaciente con las comunidades marginales después de llevar una camiseta con una foto que la gente de la alt-right (fanáticos de derecha) conoce muy bien... Sam Hyde.

La cantante publicó y luego borró estas fotos en su Instagram el viernes, pero afortunadamente Internet las capturó y ahora están circulando por todas partes, arrastrando a Doja Cat por el barro, en lo que muchos consideran un respaldo a Hyde y su humor.

Para aquellos que no lo saben, Hyde es un comediante muy querido por los trolls en los foros en línea, y que ha sido acusado incluso de abrazar sentimientos neonazis.

Esta foto en particular de él sosteniendo una semiautomática se ha convertido en carne de meme durante años. Cada vez que hay un tiroteo masivo en Estados Unidos, partidarios de extrema derecha hacen circular la foto por Internet, afirmando falsamente que Sam Hyde es el autor del tiroteo, en un intento por difundir información falsa.

No está claro si el propio Hyde comenzó la tendencia, pero él y su grupo se han apoyado en la broma. En pocas palabras... el tipo es muy problemático y polarizante.

Es por eso mismo que resulta increíblemente extraño que Doja Cat esté usando la camiseta, que, por cierto, el propio Hyde parece estar vendiendo en su sitio web por $38. Muchos otros no están tan sorprendidos tampoco.

Lo cierto es que Doja ha coqueteado con los ultraderechistas desde hace mucho tiempo. En 2020, salieron a la luz viejas imágenes en las que aparecía hablando con unos tipos en un chat, en lo que más tarde se dijo eran conversaciones racistas. Ella negó las acusaciones en ese momento.

Por supuesto, también está la canción "Dindu Nuffin'", que sacó hace tiempo. Todo esto junto, además de esta última movida, está empujándola nuevamente a la controversia.

Doja aún no ha respondido a esta última oleada de críticas.

Doja Cat Catches Heat for Alt-Right Shirt ... Showing Sam Hyde Meme

Published | Updated

Doja Cat is once again being accused of pandering to fringe communities after wearing a shirt with a photo folks on the alt-right know all too well ... showing off one Sam Hyde.

The rapper/singer posted and then deleted these pics on her IG Friday, but fortunately ... the Internet captured them and they're now circulating -- with DC getting dragged through the mud for what many consider an endorsement of Hyde and his brand of humor/following.

For those unaware, Hyde is a comedian ... who has been widely embraced by trolls in online chat rooms and forums, and who's even been accused of embracing neo-Nazi sentiments.

This particular photo of him holding a semiautomatic has become meme fodder for years -- anytime there's a mass shooting here in the States ... far-right keyboard warriors circulate the pic and falsely claim that Sam Hyde is the shooter, attempting to spread misinformation.

It's unclear if Hyde himself started that whole trend, but he and his comedy group have leaned into the joke -- bottom line ... the dude is highly problematic and polarizing.

That's exactly why Doja Cat rocking this shirt -- which, BTW, Hyde himself appears to be selling on his own website for a cool $38 -- is incredibly strange ... and getting double takes from her fans online. By the same token, many others aren't all that surprised by this either.

Fact is ... Doja has flirted with far-right wingers for a long time now -- including back in 2020 when old footage surfaced showing her talking to a bunch of dudes in a chat room ... which was later alleged to have featured racist convos. She denied those allegations at the time.

Of course ... there's also the "Dindu Nuffin'" song she put out once upon a time. All of that stuff mixed together -- plus this latest stunt -- is again thrusting her into controversy.

Doja hasn't responded to this latest wave of criticism.

El Exorcista: Creyente Flojo comienzo de taquilla... Tras una inversión de 400 millones de dólares

Published | Updated

La nueva película de "El exorcista" no está recaudando tanto dinero como le gustaría a su estudio, lo que no es una gran noticia teniendo en cuenta que se gastaron casi 500 millones de dólares para ponerla en marcha.

Las cifras de taquilla del primer día de "El exorcista: Believer', de David Gordon Green, son, cuando menos, decepcionantes, con solo 11,9 millones de dólares recaudados el viernes, lo que incluye unos 2,8 millones de dólares en los preestrenos del jueves.

A este ritmo, la proyección para el fin de semana de 3 días es de unos 28 millones de dólares en el país, que es inferior a las estimaciones iniciales para esta película de terror, que estaban en torno a los $30 y $35 millones.

Por supuesto, cuando la película de Taylor Swift se estrene la semana que viene, es casi seguro que borrará del mapa a "El exorcista: Believer', por lo que en general, esta última entrega, o eboot no parece estar en camino a hacer grandes ganancias. Y eso es preocupante para Universal.

¿La razón? El estudio gastó una fortuna para obtener los derechos de la franquicia 'El Exorcista', más de 400 millones de dólares, y están planeando producir otras dos secuelas después de esta. A pesar de las malas críticas y de la decepcionante taquilla, puedes apostar a que seguirán adelante con el plan: han gastado demasiado dinero para no hacerlo.

Para colmo, el nuevo filme está siendo vapuleado por la crítica, con una puntuación del 23% en Rotten Tomatoes.
