Michael Blackson can't wait to get into the ring after inking a deal with Celebrity Boxing ... and, naturally, he's got his eyes on a bout with fellow comedian Kevin Hart.

The actor and comedian just signed his contract with CB founder Damon Feldman, and they're both pumped, and Michael's trash talking is already on point ... as he's calling out other celebs.

Clearly, he wants a piece of Kevin, first and foremost -- they've had beef in the past, which they ultimately squashed a couple years ago, but it sounds like MB may be reversing course.

Other celebs on Michael's radar include DC Young Fly, DeRay Davis and Katt Williams ... and he's got some choice words for all three.

You know Michael's going to promote the hell out of his eventual fight ... and he's already getting his Don King on.

It will be interesting to see who answers the call to step in the ring when the dust settles.

Fitness Trainer 'Proud' To Tear Down Poster Of Kidnapped Israeli Kids

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

A fitness instructor is being accused of tearing down a poster of kidnapped Israeli kids outside a popular Los Angeles gym  ... and he says he's "proud" to be doing it.

The incident went down Wednesday outside the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice -- the man crumpled up the poster and chucked it in the trash. He's asked about why he ripped it down, telling the man filming he's proud of himself, before adding "Get the f*** away."

The man in question has been identified as model and fitness trainer Zaid Shaat -- his social media profiles say he's a "Lifetime Natural Athlete," and that he loves to "motivate people to live a healthy lifestyle. I am passionate about helping people achieve their goals and dreams."

Worth mentioning that Joe Gold, the founder of Gold's Gym, was Jewish ... and folks online have been letting Shaat have it over what he did outside the L.A. hot spot.

As you know, Hamas first attacked Israel on Oct. 7 killing thousands and taking more than 200 civilians hostage -- all of which sparked war as Israel retaliates.

The problem, and growing controversy, involves the deaths of civilian Palestinians killed as Israel launches airstrikes into Gaza aiming of snuffing out Hamas.

Entrenador físico Orgulloso de arrancar un cartel de niños israelíes secuestrados

Atrapado en el acto

Un instructor de fitness está siendo acusado por arrancar un póster de  niños israelíes secuestrados afuera de un popular gimnasio de Los Ángeles y dice que está "orgulloso" de haberlo hecho.

El incidente ocurrió el miércoles fuera del icónico Gold's Gym en Venice, cuando el hombre arrugó el cartel y lo tiró a la basura. En el video le preguntan por qué lo hizo, y les dice que está orgulloso de haberlo hecho, antes de añadir "váyanse todos a la mier***".

El hombre en cuestión ha sido identificado como Zaid Shaat, modelo y entrenador físico. Sus perfiles en las redes sociales dicen que es un "atleta natural de toda la vida" y que le encanta motivar a la gente a vivir un estilo de vida saludable. "Me apasiona ayudar a la gente a alcanzar sus metas y sueños".

Vale la pena mencionar que Joe Gold, el fundador de Gold's Gym, era judío y los usuarios en las redes están pidiendo que lo castiguen por lo que hizo.

Como ustedes saben, Hamas atacó por primera vez a Israel el 7 de octubre, causando la muerte de miles de personas y tomando como rehenes a más de 200 civiles, lo cual ha desatado una guerra mientras Israel toma represalias.

El problema, y la creciente controversia, tiene que ver con las muertes de civiles palestinos mientras Israel lanza ataques aéreos contra Gaza con el objetivo de acabar con Hamás.

*NSYNC Staying Supportive of Justin ... As He's Dragged in Britney Memoir

Published | Updated

Justin Timberlake is feelin' the heat amid Britney Spears' new book release -- and all the spilled secrets about their relationship -- but we're told his *NSYNC bros still have his back.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and JC Chasez have nothing but love for Justin, and they're supporting him through all the harsh criticism due to "The Woman in Me."

We're told they've all known him for 25 years, and would be more than happy to be back performing with him ... despite all the negative energy Britney and her loyal fans are aiming at JT.

Remember, in her book Brit blames him for talking her into an abortion, accuses him of cheating and claims a run-in with Justin triggered a panic attack that ruined her 2007 VMA performance.

While *NSYNC fans and RCA Records would love another Reunion, it isn't in the cards right now -- we're told Justin's focused on his new solo single, album and a tour next year.

BTW, our sources say the hate JT's been getting isn't impacting his career plans. The single and tour for next summer are a full go -- however, we're told he's quietly removed some club appearances that were set for early next year, tied to the release of his single and album.

As we reported, there are no current talks about *NSYNC doing more together -- Justin said recording "Better Place" would just be a special thing for his 'Trolls' sequel.

*NSYNC APOYAN A JUSTIN LUEGO DE LAS POLÉMICAS DE BRITNEY

Published | Updated

Justin Timberlake está en el ojo del huracán debido al nuevo libro de Britney Spears. La cantante ha revelado muchos secretos y los compañeros de *NSYNC apoyan a Justin a pesar de todo.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, y JC Chasez no tienen nada más que amor por Justin y lo están apoyando debido a todo el ruido que están haciendo las memorias de Britney, "The Woman in Me".

Nos dicen que la energía negativa que está recibiendo Justin no interfiere en nada con las ganas trabajar con él de nuevo, añadiendo que todos lo conocen desde hace 25 años y estarían más que felices de estar de vuelta en el escenario juntos.

A los fans y RCA Records les encantaría otra reunión *NSYNC, pero no está en los planes de Justin en este momento. Nos informan que está centrado en su nuevo single, álbum y una gira el próximo año.

Por cierto, nuestras fuentes dicen que el hate que Justin ha estado recibiendo no va a interferir en el lanzamiento del próximo single y gira programada para el próximo verano. Sin embargo, nos dicen que ha retirado discretamente algunas apariciones en discotecas para principios del próximo año relacionadas con el lanzamiento del single y el álbum.

Como informamos, no hay conversaciones actuales sobre hacer algo más en el futuro. Nos informan que Justin dijo que "Better Place" (para la película 'Trolls') es un caso especial.

Sin embargo, nuestras fuentes dicen que los otros 4 miembros están entusiasmados con la posibilidad de que Justin cambie de opinión y vuelvan al estudio todos juntos.

Rob Gronkowksi Bill Belichick Will Turn Around Pats ... 'He'll Always Find A Way'

GOTTA STAY LOCKED IN
TMZ.com

If anyone in New England still had thoughts of cutting ties with Bill Belichick this season despite the Patriots' upset win over the Bills on Sunday ... Rob Gronkowski tells TMZ Sports they need to change that mentality ASAP.

Out at LAX just a day after his old team beat Buffalo on a last-second touchdown, Gronk said he's nearly positive Belichick will continue his squad's turnaround after improving its record to 2-5.

"They could definitely build off that momentum now," the former Patriots tight end said, "and do a little damage this year."

While never quite this bad, Gronk told us he saw some darker times with Belichick when he was with "The Hoodie" in New England ... and yet, he explained Belichick "always" found a way out of it.

"He'll keep it together, that's for sure," Gronk said. "If there's one thing that he taught us, it's to always black out the outside noise. So, I'm 100 percent sure that's what he's doing."

Of course, some fans aren't as convinced ... while the Pats' win over their divisional rival was a big one -- a loud portion of New England faithful still seem ready to move on from Belichick.

But, according to Gronk, there needs to be patience when it comes to the coaching GOAT.

"They're just going through a rough patch right now," he said. "I'm sure they're going to bounce back."

PILOT ACCUSED OF ATTEMPTED MURDER I Was Having Nervous Breakdown ... Admits to Taking Mushrooms

Published | Updated

The off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who tried taking down a sister airline's plane is blaming the incident on a nervous breakdown and a serious lack of shut-eye, and also admits to taking shrooms.

Joseph D. Emerson admitted to law enforcement he tried shutting off the plane's engines during a "nervous breakdown" in the cockpit, adding he felt dehydrated and tired and had not slept in 40 hours.

According to the criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, Emerson told investigators, "I didn't feel okay. It seemed like the pilots weren't paying attention to what was going on. They didn't ... it didn't seem right."

Emerson copped to pulling both emergency shut-off handles, explaining ... "I thought I was dreaming and I just wanna wake up."

Police say Emerson told them he wasn't taking any medication, but said he had been depressed for about six months ... and then the conversation turned to psychedelic mushrooms.

The complaint says Emerson told investigators about his use of magic mushrooms, saying it was his first time taking shrooms. The complaint does not make it clear when or how many mushrooms Emerson ingested, but there's an insinuation he might have been on mushrooms during the flight.

As we reported, Emerson was arrested and booked on 83 accounts of attempted murder for the incident on a flight from Washington to San Francisco.

Now, the feds are charging him with inference with flight crew members and attendants ... a charge carrying a prison sentence of up to 20 years behind bars.

Remember ... the captain and first officer subdued Emerson in the cockpit after he tried to shut off the engines mid-flight.

The pilots told cops that before Emerson reached for the handles he stated, "I'm not okay."

The complaint says after Emerson was subdued, he told a flight attendant, "You need to cuff me right now or it's going to be bad." Another flight attendant says Emerson stated, "I messed everything up" and the attendant told investigators, "he tried to kill everybody."

Talk about a bad trip.

PILOTO ACUSADO DE INTENTO DE ASESINATO TENÍA UN ATAQUE DE NERVIOS Admite haber comido hongos

Published | Updated

El piloto fuera de servicio de Alaska Airlines que intentó derribar el avión de una aerolínea hermana le echa la culpa del incidente a un ataque de nervios y a una grave falta de sueño... además admite haber comido hongos.

Joseph D. Emerson le confesó a la policía que trató de apagar los motores del avión durante un "ataque de nervios" en la cabina, añadiendo que se sentía deshidratado y cansado y no había dormido en 40 horas.

Según la denuncia penal obtenida por TMZ, Emerson le dijo a los investigadores: "No me sentía bien. Parecía que los pilotos no estaban prestando atención a lo que estaba pasando. Ellos no...  nada parecía estar bien".

Emerson copped trató de tirar de las dos manijas de cierre de emergencia, explicando: "Pensé que estaba soñando y solo quería despertar".

La policía dice que Emerson les dijo que no estaba tomando ningún medicamento, pero dijo que había estado deprimido durante unos seis meses y luego la conversación giró en torno a los hongos psicodélicos.

La denuncia dice que Emerson le dijo a los investigadores acerca de su uso de hongos mágicos, diciendo que era su primera vez tomándolos. La denuncia no deja claro cuándo o cuántos hongos ingirió Emerson, pero hay una insinuación de que podría haber sido durante el vuelo.

Como informamos, Emerson fue detenido y fichado por 83 intentos de asesinato por el incidente en un vuelo de Washington a San Francisco.

Ahora, los federales lo acusan de interferir el vuelo... un cargo que conlleva una pena de prisión de hasta 20 años.

Recordemos que el capitán y el primer oficial al mando sometieron a Emerson en la cabina luego de que intentara apagar los motores en pleno vuelo.

Los pilotos le dijeron a la policía que justo antes de que Emerson alcanzara las manijas declaró: "No estoy bien".

La denuncia dice que después de que Emerson fuera sometido, le dijo a una azafata: "Tienes que esposarme ahora mismo o esto va a ir mal". Otra azafata dice que Emerson declaró: "Lo he estropeado todo" y la azafata le dijo a los investigadores: "Intentó matar a todo el mundo".

Hablando de un mal viaje.

'Fear The Walking Dead' City Attorney Rejects SAM UNDERWOOD Case No Charges Coming

Published | Updated

update

10/24 2:49 PM PT -- Sam Underwood will not be charged for the arrest ... the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office has rejected the case.

A spokesperson for the City Attorney tells TMZ ... "After careful review, prosecution has been declined because there is a lack of sufficient evidence to prove the matter beyond a reasonable doubt."

Sam Underwood, famous for starring in "Fear the Walking Dead," ended up in LAPD custody after he allegedly roughed up a woman.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... cops responded to a 911 call about a disturbance in a Los Angeles-area apartment around 2:30 AM on Oct. 7 and when police arrived, they were told Sam and a woman had gotten into a heated argument that got physical.

Cops tell us the woman had visible marks on her body and Sam was arrested for felony domestic battery. We're told the actor was hauled off to jail, where he was booked and released after spending close to 10 hours in custody.

It's unclear what his relationship is with the alleged victim. Sam's case, we're told, will now be submitted to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office for possible criminal charges.

As for the woman, cops say, although she had marks, she did NOT require medical attention.

A source familiar with the case tells TMZ ... Sam has provided his attorney with photographs, video recordings, and audio recordings -- all of which disprove the claims of the party making these accusations against him. We're told his attorney intends to provide this evidence to the police early this week.

L&HH: Miami's Prince Michael Sorry For Spillin' Lori Harvey Bedroom Deets ... But It's My Truth!!!

Published

"Love and Hip Hop: Miami" star Prince Michael is apologizing for his explicit, and public, deep dive into his past relationship with Lori Harvey -- but he sounds very "sorry not sorry."

The outspoken reality star went into graphic detail on the "We in Miami" podcast earlier this week, sharing details like how he and Lori would Uber to each other's places for sex, and he claims they never used a condom.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Prince claims these trysts went down years ago when, as he puts it, Lori was thick and he clearly misses that 'ol thang.

On the creepier side ... he admitted trying to secretly record one of their hookup sessions but says there was no fooling Lori, who always suspected something. She was right!!!

Prince also took joy in allegedly dismantling Saweetie's family -- he claims he banged her mother and then got a DM from her husband accusing him of breaking up a happy home.

Lori's currently dating Damson Idris and was linked to Quavo, Future, Michael B. Jordan and Diddy in the past. Some fans aren't amused by his bedroom tea ... instead, they're destroying Prince for making his past with Lori public knowledge.

In his apology, he says he attempted to be funny with his responses ... but admits to failing at that, and blames his own insecurities for ruining things with Lori.

Knowing's half the battle ... good luck with the rest!

LIL WAYNE Lo Siento Museo de Cera... ¡Lo intentaste Y FALLASTE!

lil wax?

Lil Wayne está de acuerdo con la gente, la figura de cera que intentaron hacer a su semejanza no se parece mucho que digamos al rapero.

Una imagen de una estatua de Weezy F. Baby del Museo de Cera de Hollywood en Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, se volvió viral el lunes y las bromas al respecto no se hicieron esperar.

Acertaron con los tatuajes de Wayne, pero realmente no pudieron con su cara. Muchos pensaron que se parecía más a Toosii con rastas que al jefe de Young Money.

"Lo siento, museo de cera, pero esa mierda no soy yo. Lo intentaron y  les agradezco el esfuerzo", escribió Wayne a los conservadores en Tuiter.

No solo Wayne... tambien hubo mucha conversación respecto a la estatua de aspecto extraño de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a principios de esta semana.

La leyenda de Hollywood/WWE incluso le ofreció al museo, este en concreto situado en París, a ayudar personalmente a arreglar la corrección.

No se sabe si Wayne está dispuesto a hacer lo mismo, pero es mejor dejarle estas cosas a los profesionales del Madame Tussauds.

Lil Wayne Sorry Wax Museum, You Tried AND FAILED!!!

WEIRD WAX

Lil Wayne agrees with the masses ... a wax figure with his likeness did a TERRIBLE job capturing his details.

An image of a Weezy F. Baby statue from the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN began to explode across social media Monday ... with many recognizing the figure intended to resemble Wayne, it was close but no cigar.

The figurine nailed the details of Wayne's tattoos but couldn't really nail his face. Many thought it looked more like Toosii with dreads than the Young Money boss.

"Sorry wax museum but dat shit ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort," Wayne wrote to the curators on Twitter.

Social media users were far less forgiving than Wayne -- equally merciless as the dragging they gave the weird-looking statue of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson earlier this week.

The Hollywood/WWE legend even offered to the museum, this particular one being located in Paris, personal hands-on help to fix the correction.

No telling if Wayne is down to do the same ... but these things are probably best left to the pros at Madame Tussauds at this point.

911 AUDIO

The adults in the room when a 3-year-old shot herself with an unattended gun tried covering up the bloody incident ... at least according to the woman who called 911.

In the dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ, the caller says she's not at the home but has been informed about the shooting and is rushing over to help. She's not sure if anyone in the home called 911, and the dispatcher can't seem to find any prior call about the shooting.

COMPLETELY UNSUPERVISED

The caller begs for an ambulance to rush over to the home, adding ..."And, they are trying to hide it. That's why they didn't call fire rescue. I need an officer over there. I need fire rescue over there."

She also tells the dispatcher the people in the home are trying to take the kiddo to the hospital themselves and "they just let her shoot herself in the hand."

As we reported ... home surveillance video shows the young girl, Serenity, playing in the living room at her grandma's Florida home, jumping onto a couch where a loaded firearm is sitting in plain view.

Serenity grabs the pistol and peers over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is watching a football game on a laptop ... and then the gun goes off. The bullet strikes her hand, and she cries out in pain as chaos ensues.

The caller is on the phone with 911 as she races to the house, and she's still on the line when she pulls up ... and you hear her yelling at someone, "Why didn't they call fire rescue?!?"

Miami-Dade County police say family members took Serenity to a hospital ... and Young was arrested and charged with child neglect.

It's unclear if the caller is the girl's mother, Warnicia Williams, who told Local 10 News she wants Young held accountable.

We reached out to Young's attorney, who declined to comment at this time.

Los adultos en la habitación cuando una niña de TRES años se disparó con una pistola desatendida trataron de encubrir el sangriento incidente, al menos según la mujer que llamó al 911.

En el audio, obtenido por TMZ, la persona que llama dice que ella no está en la casa, pero que ha sido informada sobre el tiroteo y se apresura a ayudar. Ella no está segura de si alguien en la casa llamó al 911, y el despachador no puede encontrar ninguna llamada anterior sobre el tiroteo.

La persona que llama pide una ambulancia y dice: "Están tratando de ocultarlo. Por eso no llamaron a los bomberos. Necesito un oficial allí. Necesito a los bomberos".

Ella también le dice al despachador que están tratando de llevar a la niña al hospital ellos mismos y "que acaban de dejar que se dispare en la mano".

Como informamos, el video de vigilancia de la casa muestra a la niña, Serenity, jugando en la sala de estar en la casa de su abuela en Florida, saltando sobre un sofá donde hay un arma de fuego cargada a la vista.

Serenity coge la pistola y mira a un pariente, Orlando Young, que está viendo un partido de fútbol en un ordenador portátil y entonces el arma se dispara. La bala impacta en su mano y ella grita de dolor mientras se desata el caos.

La persona que llama se mantiene en el teléfono con el 911 mientras corre a la casa, y todavía está en la línea cuando se detiene y se oye gritar a alguien, "¡¿Por qué no llamaron a los bomberos!?"

La policía del condado de Miami dice que miembros de la familia llevaron a Serenity a un hospital y que Young fue arrestado y acusado de negligencia infantil.

No está claro si la persona que llamó es la madre de la niña, Warnicia Williams, quien dijo a Local 10 News que quiere que Young rinda cuentas.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el abogado de Young. No quiso hacer comentarios en este momento.

Atlanta Woman House Accidentally Demolished ... Wrong Address, Whoops!!!

Published | Updated

It's a tale as old as time -- that moment when you come home from vacation and realize your house is, inexplicably, in pieces ... boy, we've all been there haven't we?

This wacky story is coming out of Atlanta, where Susan Hodgson says she came to learn her longtime family home of over 40 years -- which was thankfully vacant at the time -- had been completely demolished without her permission or her knowledge ... this per AP.

According to Hodgson, she was out of town when she got a call from a neighbor ... who asked if she'd hired a company to bulldoze her home -- one that she owned, but did not live in FWIW -- something that caught her by surprise, because she absolutely hadn't.

Hodgson says, upon her request, the neighbor confronted the crew working on the demolition -- but claims they were totally rude and told the neighbor to piss off. Hodgson says she then sent a family member who had all the proper paperwork to show she owned the place ... and when the workers saw that, she claims they said -- whoops, wrong address!

Once the workers realized they had the wrong place, they apparently just packed up and left ... without so much as a sorry. Now, Hodgson is trying to figure out what to do -- and is weighing her legal options against the company that was behind this

In statement to FOX5 -- which has a great news package about this -- that company (You Call It, We Haul It) says they're investigating the matter ... but that's where things stand.

Hodgson says the home was boarded up -- but notes she and her relatives kept it in good shape, cutting the grass and making sure the taxes were paid and up to date.

It's possible someone just assumed the pad was abandoned ... talk about a screw-up!

Lil Yachty Appears to Encourage Fans To Rush Stage Before Show Halts

TIME TO PACK IT UP
TMZ.com

Lil Yachty seems to be responsible for getting his own concert canceled early this weekend -- because not long before the plug got pulled ... he was telling folks to come on down.

The rapper was performing Saturday night in Vancouver, BC ... and toward the beginning of his set at the University of British Columbia's Thunderbird Arena -- which looked to be packed -- the ticketholders could be seen pouring down onto the main floor and rushing the stage.

Take a look for yourself ... in footage obtained by TMZ -- you can see tons of young people descending toward the mosh pit area of the arena, seemingly at LY's behest.

Eyewitnesses tell us Yachty was shouting "fill it up" as he was starting to perform the very first song of his set list ... and his fans obliged, with tons of folks climbing over railings and security guards to get to the mosh pit area and be as close to Yachty as possible.

We're told Yachty did 3 or 4 songs under these conditions, but then his mic was cut off and the house lights came on. Someone over the speaker told everyone to go back to their seats -- something Yachty himself encouraged, saying the show would be over if they didn't.

Sounds like people didn't head back fast enough ... 'cause our sources say when Yachty trying launching into yet another song, the sound was gone -- and the gig was canceled.

No word on whether anyone was hurt here ... but it goes without saying, rushing the stage like that can be dangerous. We've reached out to Yachty's rep ... so far, no word back.
