You Might Want to Rethink

Disney's going back to the drawing board for their 'Snow White' reboot -- 'cause they just delayed its release by a year ... and are now promising actual dwarves, albeit fake ones.

The Mouse House made the announcement Friday ... instead of coming out in March, the 'SW' live-action film is slated for Spring 2025. Some cite the ongoing actors' strike as the impetus for this, but others see a far more obvious reason ... a helluva lot of backlash.

That seems to be confirmed with the first official publicity pic Disney released amid the delay news. You see Rachel Zegler (as Snow White) surrounded by the Seven Dwarfs ... only here, they're all completely animated with CGI -- and they're short, just like in the OG.

Why that's taking people by surprise ... earlier this year, set photos from this film leaked prematurely -- which showed 'em doing pickup shots out in the UK, and which appeared to unveil what the "dwarfs" were going to look like in this reimagined 21st-century version.

Instead of using little-person actors to play the dwarves ... Disney opted to cast 6 random people (or typical height) and only 1 little person -- a decision that pissed off many online.

Of course, the whole reason they even went that route was because of Peter Dinklage's very public griping about the whole 'Snow White' story ... which he found demeaning to little people and completely "backwards." As a result, Disney promised to go in another direction.

Now, however, the studio seems to be backtracking yet again -- 'cause here, they're teasing actual dwarves ... which appears to indicate they are, in fact, going to play up the classic.

Of course, if they do animate these dwarves (as is suggested in the promo pic) ... that'll undoubtedly get even more flak -- 'cause it'll make it so no little person actors can snag the coveted gigs. Plus, doing all CGI will cost a crap ton of more money ... so we'll see what Disney actually ends up doing. It's possible these drawn dwarves are just fill-ins for now.

The other element of controversy that Disney has to grapple with is its lead star ... Zegler herself has caught a lot of heat for hating on 'Snow White' and calling it outdated.

Disney está volviendo a la mesa de dibujo para su reboot de "Blancanieves", ya que el estudio informó que decidieron retrasar su lanzamiento en un año, al mismo tiempo que prometió que los enanos ahora serán reales... aunque falsos.

El estudio de Mickey Mouse hizo el anuncio el viernes. En lugar de estrenarse en marzo, la película de acción real de Blancanieves está programada para la primavera de 2025. Algunos citan la huelga de actores en curso como el motivo, pero otros ven una razón mucho más obvia, y es que ha recibido un montón de reacciones en contra.

Esto parece confirmarse con la primera imagen publicitaria que Disney compartió junto a la noticia del retraso. En ella se ve a Rachel Zegler (como Blancanieves) rodeada de los Siete Enanitos, solo que aquí están completamente animados con tecnología computacional (CGI) y son bajitos, como en la película original.

A principios de este año, se filtraron prematuramente unas fotos del set de rodaje en Reino Unido, que parecían develar el aspecto que tendrían los "enanitos" en esta versión re imaginada del siglo XXI.

En lugar de utilizar actores pequeños para interpretar a los enanitos, Disney optó por elegir a 6 personas con una altura promedio y solo 1 pequeña, una decisión que cabreó a muchos usuarios en las redes.

Por supuesto, la razón por la que tomaron ese camino fue la queja pública de Peter Dinklage sobre la historia de Blancanieves, que consideró degradante para las personas pequeñas y completamente "retrógrada". Como resultado, Disney prometió ir en otra dirección.

Ahora, sin embargo, el estudio parece estar dando marcha atrás una vez más porque en esta nueva foto parece que están probando con enanos reales, lo que parece indicar que van a optar por el estilo clásico.

Por supuesto, si animan a estos enanos (como se sugiere en la imagen promocional), eso sin duda recibirá aún más críticas, porque implicaría que ningún actor pequeño pueda hacerse con los codiciados papeles. Además, hacer todo con CGI costará muchísimo más dinero, así que ya veremos qué acaba haciendo Disney. Es posible que estos enanos dibujados sean solo de relleno por ahora.

El otro elemento de controversia con el que Disney ha tenido que lidiar es su estrella principal. La misma Zegler ha sido muy criticada por odiar a Blancanieves y calificarla de anticuada.

50 Cent can't get enough of mocking Madonna -- and now he's even poking fun at her butt, reigniting their beef.

The rapper took to Instagram Friday and posted side-by-side photos comparing Madonna in a silver bodysuit performing onstage to an animated black insect.

His caption got even more personal, zeroing in on her rump. It read, "who the f*** did this? She’s rich how the hell she didn’t get it fixed 🤨I want the f***ing doctors name right now. I mean damn it man ! LOL"

Madonna has yet to comment, but she must be pretty miffed at Fitty who has a track record of dissing the legendary pop star. In June 2022, Fitty posted a racy Madonna snapshot next to images of aliens.

He wrote a caption that read, “I hope she didn’t make her kids take this picture. LOL at 63 somebody tell her to chill out please." Fitty has since deleted the post.

Going back further, Fitty took another shot at Madonna's age in December 2021 after she posted sexy photos of herself on social media.

Fitty wrote on IG, "Yo this is the funniest s***! LOL. That's Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don't get her old a** up. LMFAO."

In a lengthy response, Madonna, in part, said, "Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend. Now you have decided to talk smack about me! I guess your new career [is] getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media."

50 Cent no se cansa de burlarse de Madonna, y ahora incluso se mofó de su trasero, reavivando su pelea.

El rapero publicó dos fotos en Instagram el viernes en las que compara a Madonna en un body plateado sobre el escenario con un dibujo de un insecto.

Su pie de foto fue incluso más personal, pues se centró particularmente en su trasero. Decía: "¿Quién diablos ha hecho esto? Ella es rica, ¿cómo no se lo arregló? Quiero el nombre del maldito médico ahora mismo. Maldita sea, LOL".

Madonna aún no ha hecho comentarios, pero debe de estar bastante enojada con Fitty, que tiene un historial de insultos a la legendaria estrella del pop. En junio de 2022, publicó una foto de ella junto a imágenes de extraterrestres.

Escribió un pie de foto que decía: "Espero que no le haya pedido a sus hijos que le tomaran esta foto". LOL a los 63 que alguien le diga que se calme, por favor". Desde entonces, Fitty borró el post.

Volviendo más atrás, en 2021, se fue en contra de su edad, después de que ella publicara fotos sexy de sí misma en las redes sociales.

En ese entonces escribió: "Yo, esto es divertido s***! LOL. Esa es Madonna debajo de la cama tratando de hacer como una virgen a los 63 años. LMFAO".

En una larga respuesta, Madonna, dijo: "Aquí está 50 Cent pretendiendo ser mi amigo. Ahora has decidido hablar mal de mí. Supongo que tu nueva carrera [es] llamar la atención intentando humillar a otros en las redes sociales".

Bill Maher was on a tear Friday night, acknowledging a deep state but not the one people talk about.

The 'Real Time' host got real ... it's become impossible in the United States to build anything -- houses, windmills, toilets, you name it -- without jumping through endless hoops of overregulation by legislators and bureaucrats.

BM offers a slew of examples ... a toilet in San Francisco that cost $1.7 million. He says it's needed because the people s**ting and pissing on the sidewalk have been disturbing people breaking into cars.

In S.F., anyone who wants to build a home must secure 87 permits.

And there's this ... Wyoming is building the largest wind farm in North America, but it took 18 years to get approval to START building. As Bill says, when the first paperwork was filled out Leo's GF wasn't even born.

Bill has some history here ... it took him more than a year to get solar at his house, and he let the world know -- many times!

Adidas shoulda seen Kanye West's antisemitic rants coming -- during one of his first meetings with the company, 11 years ago, he reportedly drew a swastika on a shoe sketch.

Shortly after signing on with the German sneaker giant in 2013, employees presented a bunch of shoe sketches to Kayne, which he did not like -- and, in response, he picked up a marker and drew a swastika over one of the sketches ... according to a NYT report.

That move shocked everyone in the room, especially because the meeting was reportedly going down close to Nuremberg, where Nazis infamously stood trial for war crimes after WW II.

Kanye set the bar with that move, though, because the NYT report claims, in future meetings,  he advised "a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Adolf Hitler every day" -- and repeatedly told other Adidas employees what a "master marketer" Hitler was, and praised his "command of propaganda."

Keep in mind, Adidas remained in the Yeezy biz for nearly 10 years, and made a ton of money with Kanye, until last year ... when he started publicly spewing his antisemitic beliefs.

Adidas reportedly tripled Kanye's salary during a 2016 contract negotiation but added a morals clause in the deal -- perhaps because it was, by then, well aware of his affinity for Hitler and the Nazis.

Adidas debe haber visto venir los desplantes antisemitas de Kanye West.  Un reporte revela que durante una de sus primeras reuniones con la empresa, hace once años, supuestamente dibujó una esvástica en un boceto de zapatillas.

Poco después de firmar con el gigante deportivo en 2012, los empleados le presentaron un montón de bocetos de zapatillas, que no le gustaron. En respuesta, Kanye cogió un rotulador y dibujó una esvástica sobre uno de los bocetos, según un reportaje del New York Times.

Ese movimiento conmocionó a todos en la sala, sobre todo porque la reunión se estaba llevando a cabo cerca de Nuremberg, donde los nazis infamemente fueron juzgados por crímenes de guerra después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Kanye sentó el tono con ese movimiento, porque el informe del NYT afirma que en futuras reuniones aconsejó a "un gerente judío de Adidas que besara una foto de Adolf Hitler todos los días", y repetidamente dijo a otros empleados de Adidas el gran genio que era Hitler en cuanto al marketing y elogió su "dominio de la propaganda."

Es importante tener en cuenta que Adidas se mantuvo en el negocio junto a Yeezy durante casi diez años e hizo una tonelada de dinero con Kanye hasta el año pasado, cuando comenzó a vomitar sus creencias antisemitas públicamente.

Adidas supuestamente triplicó el salario de Kanye durante una negociación de contrato en 2016, pero agregó una cláusula moral en el acuerdo, tal vez porque para entonces ya era muy consciente de su afinidad hacia Hitler y los nazis.

Britney Spears' lawyer has sent an email to the lawyer repping Jamie Spears, hurling numerous allegations against her dad -- opening the door for settlement negotiations -- but we're told Jamie's lawyer wasn't having it, saying he blew it by waiting way too long.

Two sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Mathew Rosengart's email opened with an acknowledgment Jamie was in poor health and this might be an appropriate time to acknowledge his alleged misdeeds during the conservatorship and pay Britney an unspecified sum so the legal dispute could be put to bed.

One of his claims ... Jamie authorized the illegal surveillance of Britney ... specifically her phone. Here's the problem for Rosengart ... he never filed a lawsuit claiming illegal surveillance and the statute of limitations lapsed more than a year ago. Besides that, we're told Jamie's lawyer responded to Rosengart he was dead wrong about illegal surveillance.

Jamie has made a demand for Britney to pay certain attorneys fees he incurred connected with the conservatorship, but Rosengart says that's a no-go. We've learned Jamie's lawyer actually offered a year ago to withdraw that claim if Rosengart withdrew his claims against Jamie, but Rosengart said no. Now, a year later, Rosengart seems ready to talk settlement, but we're told it didn't go over well with Jamie's team because of all the threats and allegations.

Now the case is set for trial in May, and we're told there is explosive evidence that would not be favorable to Britney. Beyond that, some of the biggest claims Rosengart has made will never go to court because the statute of limitations has run, and the conservatorship judge approved some of the expenditures Rosengart is contesting.

Sounds like an uphill climb.

Chris Brown beat the hell out of a man at a London nightclub, and his injuries were so bad he ended up in a hospital ... this according to a new lawsuit.

The singer is being sued by a man named Abe Diaw, who claims Chris smashed him over the head with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila back in February at TAPE nightclub in England.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Diaw claims Chris wielded the tequila bottle like a weapon as he pummeled Diaw over the head with "crushing blows."

The guy claims he was knocked unconscious but says that didn't stop Chris from continuing the attack ... he says CB ruthlessly stomped on him as he lay passed out on the club floor.

In the docs, Diaw claims he had to be hospitalized as a result of his alleged injuries ... which he says include cuts on his head and torn ligaments in his leg.

Chris' accuser says there's surveillance footage of the whole thing ... and he says cops in London have the alleged beatdown video. Diaw claims he can identify Chris in the footage and claims CB is a fugitive in the United Kingdom as a result of the alleged incident.

And, get this ... Diaw claims he's known Chris for at least seven years and thought Chris was coming up to hug him at the club when Brown instead allegedly struck him three times with the tequila bottle.

Diaw says his injuries may be permanent and he's suffering serious emotional distress and trauma. He's suing Chris for damages.

A high school basketball game turned into a violent brawl over the weekend ... when a referee straight-up punched a coach following a verbal altercation -- resulting in his arrest.

TMZ Sports is told ... the incident went down during a fall league contest between Arlington and Oak Hills at Santiago High School in Corona, California on Saturday, Oct. 21.

At some point in the second half, witnesses claim Oak Hills head coach Rob Alexander got upset with referee Brandon Knapper over his officiating ... and an argument ensued.

In a clip we obtained of the game, 26-year-old Knapper -- a former college basketball player at West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Cal State San Bernardino -- can be seen approaching Alexander near Oak Hills' bench and briefly talking to him ... before unleashing his fist on the coach's face.

Knapper appeared to land more punches on Alexander as he fell to the court ... before players and others in attendance got involved.

We're told cops responded to the scene ... and Alexander was taken to the hospital. The game did not continue.

Law enforcement tells us Alexander requested prosecution against Knapper, who turned himself in and was charged with battery causing serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury -- both felonies.

Knapper was booked in the Riverside County Sheriff's Department jail on Sunday ... and his bail was set at $25,000. He was released on Wednesday.

Oak Hills' Hesperia Unified School District released a statement to TMZ Sports ... condemning Knapper's "senseless and shameful" actions.

"The District is thankful for the swift and decisive action taken by the event promoters and local law enforcement. We are also happy to report that Coach Alexander is in good spirits and looking forward to returning to coaching and teaching as soon as possible."

"We have the utmost confidence that law enforcement, CIF, and Oak Hills High School, with the support of the District, will investigate the incident thoroughly and handle it appropriately."

Un partido de baloncesto de la escuela secundaria se convirtió en una violenta pelea durante el fin de semana, cuando un árbitro le dio puñetazos a un entrenador después de un altercado verbal que resultó en su detención.

TMZ Sports informó el incidente ocurrido durante un partido de la liga de otoño entre Arlington y Oak Hills en Santiago High School en Corona, California, el sábado 21 de octubre.

En algún momento de la segunda mitad, los testigos afirman que el entrenador de Oak Hills, Rob Alexander, se molestó con el árbitro Brandon Knapper y se produjo una discusión.

En un clip que obtuvimos del juego, Knapper, (un ex jugador de baloncesto universitario de 26 años), se acerca a Alexander y tienen una breve conversación antes de desatar su puño en la cara del entrenador.

Knapper parecía aterrizar más golpes en Alexander mientras caía al suelo antes de que los jugadores y otros asistentes se involucraran.

Nos dicen que la policía respondió y Alexander fue llevado al hospital. El partido no continuó.

Las fuerzas del orden nos dicen Alexander pidió represalias contra Knapper, quien se entregó y fue acusado de agresión, causando lesiones corporales graves y asalto por medios que puedan producir grandes lesiones, ambos delitos graves.

Knapper fue encerrado en la cárcel del Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Riverside el domingo y su fianza se fijó en $ 25.000. Fue puesto en libertad el miércoles.

El Distrito Escolar Unificado Hesperia de Oak Hills emitió un comunicado a TMZ Sports condenando las acciones "sin sentido y vergonzosas" de Knapper.

"El Distrito está agradecido por la acción rápida y decisiva tomada por los promotores del evento y la policía local. También estamos contentos de informar que el entrenador Alexander está de buen humor y con ganas de volver a entrenar y enseñar tan pronto como sea posible".

"Tenemos la máxima confianza en que las fuerzas del orden, la CIF y el Oak Hills High School, con el apoyo del Distrito, investigarán el incidente a fondo y lo manejarán adecuadamente".

Joe Budden is pissed with Just Blaze for releasing his old Slaughterhouse music ... even if his diehard fans were rejoicing to hear the tracks.

On the newest episode of "The Joe Budden Podcast," the retired rapper lashed out at Just Blaze's recent actions without cracking a smile.

Just recently took it upon himself to honor the recently deceased Mark The 45 King and leaked a pair of tunes from the defunct group's shelved "Glass House" album of 2014.

Hip hop heads and even Joe's cohosts wholeheartedly approved of the tracks, but Joe argued he's long removed himself from the SH situation and attempted to call Just for a curse-out in real time ... but the superproducer didn't pick up.

The group was supposed to be hip hop saviors but infighting saw them only release one album on Eminem's Shady Records.

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.

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.

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.

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.
