You Might Want to Rethink

La esposa de Bill Burr no parece ser fan de Donald Trump, es decir, suponiendo que el insulto del dedo del medio era para él... y la verdad, es que no sería raro.

Nia Hill acompañó a su marido para el evento de la UFC 295 sábado por la noche en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York, y durante uno de los momentos en cámara2, ella mostró el dedo de al medio, cosa que muchos han interpretado como un insulto para Trump.

Francamente, es difícil decir si este insulto fue, de hecho, destinado a Trump o no. Parece que el expresidente está en el mismo pasillo que ellas, pero ligeramente inclinado hacia delante mientras están sentadas.

Nia hace dos gestos justo cuando el equipo de la UFC las pone en cámara, pero parece que lo hace directamente a la cámara, en lugar de a Donald, que está a su derecha. Cualquiera que sea su intención, en Tuiter se lo tomaron como un insulto al expersidente.

Como resultado, está recibiendo una tonelada de odio por parte de los conservadores, porque ven el gesto de su esposa hacia Trump como un reflejo de su propia política.

Burr ocupa este nebuloso espacio de comedia y se lanza contra la "wokeness" (exceso de progresismo), pero también se ensaña con los derechistas. El tipo es un enigma y lo más importante, no hay muchas entrevistas donde se refiera en malos términos a Trump.

Ahora, él está en la mira del grupo MAGA (Make America Great Again). La UFC también parecía darle la bienvenida, y aparecieron con él Dana White, Tucker Carlson y Kid Rock.

A$AP Rocky está ocupado con asuntos legales en este momento, ya que lucha contra los cargos penales en los tribunales y se podría pensar que su amada Rihanna estaría a su lado en público, pero no lo es así.

La pareja se mostró frente a las cámaras dos veces esta semana, justo después de la audiencia preliminar de alto perfil de Rocky en un juzgado el miércoles. En ambas ocasiones no estaban juntos. Y para este fin de semana, ni siquiera estaban en la misma parte de la ciudad.

El jueves, RiRi fue fotografiada en el San Vicente Bungalows en West Hollywood con algunas amigas, mientras que Rocky estaba en una parte diferente en la misma ciudad, sin compañía de Rihanna pero con un grupo de amigos.

Ambos parecían bastante neutrales el jueves, pero el sábado fueron vistos saliendo de nuevo (por separado) y se veían algo más alegres.

Rocky y Rihanna estaban vestidos para impresionar, pero solo él mostró una sonrisa mientras paseaba por una calle después de lo que nos dicen que fue una sesión de estudio nocturna en WeHo. Tiene un álbum que supuestamente saldrá pronto, así que es lógico que esté trabajando.

Rihanna, por otro lado, estaba en el lado opuesto de Tinseltown Sábado y se le pudo ver en su restaurante favorito, Giorgio Baldi en Santa Mónica, el cual ella suele frecuentar.

Como hemos dicho, ella no parecía muy feliz. Lucía gafas de sol y su semblante se notaba un tanto grave. Teniendo en cuenta que los fiscales van detrás de su hombre por cargos de armas.

Como informamos, uno de los ex miembros de Rocky A$AP Mob, Relli, subió al estrado y testificó que Rocky le había disparado en 2021 luego de una pelea y presunto enfrentamiento. Relli incluso afirmó que Rocky había amenazado con matarlo antes de supuestamente apretar el gatillo.

El abogado de Rocky, Joe Tacopina, Relli a la parrilla en la cruz, pero su cliente se debe de nuevo en la corte a finales de este mes para ver si esta cosa va a ir a un juicio con jurado en toda regla o no. AR abandonó el edificio de muy buen humor y emanaba confianza mientras firmaba autógrafos.

No se puede decir lo mismo del comportamiento de Rihanna aquí, sin embargo ... se ve un poco triste.

A$AP Rocky is in hot legal water right now as he fights criminal charges in court -- and you'd think his baby mama, Rihanna, would be right by his side in public ... but she isn't.

The couple stepped out in front of cameras twice this week -- right on the heels of Rocky's high-profile preliminary hearing in a DTLA courthouse Wednesday -- and on both occasions ... they were not together. And for this weekend, they weren't even in the same part of town.

On Thursday, RiRi was photographed hitting up the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood with some gal pals in tow, whereas Rocky was in a different part of WeHo ... unaccompanied by Rihanna, and instead being trailed by his own crew of fellas.

Both of them looked fairly neutral on Thursday ... but come Saturday, they were seen stepping out again (separately) and seemed a little more chipper -- well, AR was anyway.

Rocky and Rihanna were both dressed to impress, but it was only him who flashed a grin as he strolled along a street following what we're told was a late-night studio sesh in WeHo. He's got an album that's supposedly due out soon, so it makes sense he's working.

Rihanna, on the other hand, was on the opposite side of Tinseltown Saturday ... hitting up her favorite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica -- which she always frequents.

Like we said, she didn't look all that happy ... sporting sunglasses and a somewhat serious mug. Considering prosecutors are going after her man on gun charges, that also lines up.

As we reported ... one of Rocky's former A$AP Mob members, Relli, took the stand and testified that Rocky had shot him in 2021 -- this after a falling out and alleged face-off. Relli even claimed that Rocky had threatened to kill him before allegedly pulling the trigger.

Rocky's attorney, Joe Tacopina, grilled Relli on cross ... but his client is due back in court later this month to see if this thing's gonna go to a full-blown jury trial or not. AR left the building in a very good mood and emanated confidence as he signed autographs.

The same can't be said for Rihanna's demeanor here, though ... she looks kinda glum.

A conservative Texas-based bishop got the boot by Catholicism's top dog after constantly criticizing him as too liberal ... and after refusing to resign when asked.

Pope Francis announced Saturday that Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, TX had been relieved of his pastoral governance over his area -- which effectively means he's fired. For now, PF is appointing a bishop from Austin to oversee Tyler's diocese until they find a permanent replacement.

The ousting comes a few months after Pope Francis sent some holy types to investigate Bishop Strickland and see how he was running things out there deep in the heart of Texas ... this after accusations of him teaching "doctrinally unorthodox claims" in his sermons.

Of course, the real impetus of this probably lies in the fact that Strickland has been bashing Frank for a long time now -- very vocally accusing him of twisting up the Catholic faith with his fairly progressive views on a number of social issues ... LGBTQ+ inclusion, abortion, etc.

In fact, just the other day ... Pope Francis said he was cool with transgender people getting baptized into the Catholic faith, and even signed off on them serving as godparents to Catholic kids, assuming it wouldn't lead to any "scandal" as he put it in his remarks.

Un conservador obispo de Texas acaba de ser despedido por el mandamás del catolicismo después de criticarlo constantemente como demasiado liberal y de negarse a renunciar cuando se le pidió.

El Papa Francisco anunció el sábado que el obispo Joseph Strickland de Tyler, de Texas, fue relevado de su gobierno pastoral, lo que significa que fue despedido. Por ahora, el Papa está nombrando a un obispo de Austin para supervisar la diócesis de Tyler hasta que encuentren un reemplazo permanente.

La destitución se produce unos meses después de que el Papa Francisco enviara a algunas autoridades eclesiásticas a investigar al obispo Strickland y ver cómo estaba llevando las cosas en lo profundo del corazón de Texas. Esto después de las acusaciones de que el obispo estaba enseñando "afirmaciones doctrinalmente poco ortodoxas" en sus sermones.

Por supuesto, el verdadero ímpetu de esto probablemente radica en el hecho de que Strickland ha estado atacando a Francis desde hace mucho tiempo, acusándolo muy apasionadamente de tergiversar la fe católica con sus puntos de vista, a su juicio, bastante progresistas sobre una serie de cuestiones sociales, como el aborto, la inclusión y las personas LGBTQ.

De hecho, justo el otro día, el Papa dijo que estaba de acuerdo con que las personas transgéneros fueran bautizadas en la fe católica, e incluso firmó para que sirvieran como padrinos de niños católicos, suponiendo que no daría lugar a ningún "escándalo", como lo dijo en sus comentarios.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas spent his Friday night in jail after he was arrested for allegedly getting into a violent, brick-throwing altercation with a construction worker.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Thomas was taken into custody by Kenner PD in Louisiana and booked for simple battery and criminal mischief -- both misdemeanors. He then cooled his heels in a jail cell for a few hours before he was released around 10 PM.

According to cops ... Thomas got into a shouting match with the hardhat, who was helping to build a home in the same neighborhood where the NFL player lives.

Police say Thomas started making threats because he was pissed the guy parked a truck in front of his house.

Using a cell phone, the worker began recording Thomas, who became irate and scooped up a brick, throwing it at the man's truck and damaging the windshield, cops said.

Thomas then allegedly got up in the man's face and smacked the phone out of his hand. Police say Thomas also pushed the man and demanded that he stop filming the incident.

The victim notified police and filed a report, accusing Thomas of the misdemeanors. Thomas was apprehended without incident and has been cooperating with the investigation.

Selena Gomez has been branded a "coward" by a Jewish organization ... after embroiling herself in controversy over the Israel-Hamas war.

Speaking to TMZ, Mitchell Bard for the Jewish organization American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE) lambasted Selena for falling victim to the intense pressure put on celebs to boycott and demonize Israel.

He tells us instead of speaking on the massacre of 1,400 Israelis and the taking of 240 hostages, including the elderly, disabled, women and children as young as 9 months ... Selena's priority lies with her business, which was threatened after the Rare Beauty's CEO followed pro-Israel accounts.

The org also details its disappointment over her choosing to "pacify bullies" hoping to boycott Rare Beauty by "taking the popular position that Palestinians who have been sacrificed by Hamas are the victims" ... with a pro-Palestine-leaning statement shared to RB's IG.

In stark contrast ... the very same IG post delights Alia Malak, a founding member of the Palestinian organization, Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), who tells TMZ, "Selena Gomez is one of many thousands of artists and cultural figures worldwide calling for ceasefire, justice and accountability, joining Hollywood figures, leading Black scholars and artists, Jewish writers and artists, prominent authors, visual artists, and many others."

They add, "When UN experts and others are warning of an Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, these artists are on the right side of history. Palestinians call on artists and arts organizations to speak out loudly for a ceasefire, and for an end to oppression, as many had done against apartheid South Africa, to contribute to freedom, justice, and equality."

This comes after Rare Beauty's statement on IG acknowledged the slaughter of 1,400 Israelis ... saying that attacks on civilians are wrong ... but alluding their main concern was "protecting Palestine civilians."

7:55 PM PT -- Michigan and Jim Harbaugh aren't going down without a fight ... U of M has asked a court in Washtenaw County to grant a temporary restraining order that would block the Big Ten's suspension of the head coach.

The TRO would put Harbaugh's three-game regular season ban on hold until the matter could go before a judge.

While the restraining order hasn't yet been granted, the man who will ultimately decide what happens with Harbaugh -- whether he coaches in Saturday's pivotal football game against Penn State -- is a judge who happened to graduate from the University of Michigan in the 90s.

1:36 PM PT -- Univ. of Michigan officials just ripped the conference's ruling in a scathing statement ... writing, in part, "We are dismayed at the Commissioner's rush to judgment when there is an ongoing NCAA investigation -- one of in which we are fully cooperating."

"By taking this action at this hour," they added, "the Commissioner is personally inserting himself onto the sidelines and altering the level playing field that he is claiming to preserve. And, doing so on Veteran's Day -- a court holiday -- to try to thwart the University from seeking immediate judicial relief is hardly a profile in impartiality. To ensure fairness in the process, we intend to seek a court order, together with Coach Harbaugh, preventing this disciplinary action from taking effect."

The Big Ten has just suspended Jim Harbaugh for the rest of the regular season ... after it says the Michigan football team was involved in an intricate sign-stealing scheme that violated rules.

The conference announced Harbaugh will still be allowed to coach his team during weekdays while serving his suspension ... but on the Wolverines' three remaining gamedays this year, he must not be present.

Of course, it's a big deal for UM, considering two of those three contests are against No. 10 Penn State and No. 1 Ohio State.

Michigan, however, is reportedly expected to seek legal action now that could allow Harbaugh to still be able to coach his team during Saturday's game against the Nittany Lions.

The scandal surrounding Harbaugh and the Wolverines all began after team staffer Connor Stalions was accused of purchasing tickets to Big Ten games over the past three years with the intent of trying to decipher Michigan opponents' sideline signals.

In announcing its punishment for Harbaugh on Friday ... the Big Ten said it found at least some level of validity to the claims -- writing that Michigan gained "an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition" over it all.

This is not the first time Harbaugh has been in hot water this season ... he was also banned from the team's first three games over alleged transgressions during the COVID dead period.

Michigan is currently 9-0 despite all of the drama ... and ranked No. 3 in the nation.

Jim Jones got highly emotional responding to Dee-1's recent criticisms about his music ... even hinting he'd take things to the ring if needed.

The Byrd Gang leader appeared on Sway's Universe Friday -- the same platform Dee used to voice his gripes over the murderous themes in the music of Jim, Rick Ross and Meek Mill.

Similar to Rozay's response, Jim opted to focus on his years of philanthropy and his fellow posse vouched for his efforts.

He also defended the content of his music ... declaring it to be rough because of the environment he was raised in but maintained his music always contains spiritual elements ... his first album was named "On My Way To Church" y'know.

Jim said he was really peeved over Dee using his name for fame and the New Orleans rapper should've contacted him offline if he really wanted to have a conversation ... but that window passed.

He denied promoting violence ... but warned Dee should keep his hand down when he sees him because he's seen shirts get wrinkled for less!!!

Sway assured Jim that Dee isn't on a clout-chasing mission but the Harlem boss wasn't convinced and said he was done talking about Dee, so that's that.

Revered producer 9th Wonder eventually entered the chat to defend Dee-1 on all his stances -- when it comes to children.

A McDonald's customer completely lost his s**t and went on a wild rampage, trashing one of the chain restaurants in Maryland from a drive-thru window.

The bizarre incident was captured on video and posted to TikTok, showing the furious man standing outside his vehicle at the fast food joint in White Marsh, which is about 16 miles south of Baltimore. The patron is clearly hungry and unhappy with the service he's getting.

Check out the clip ... the man reaches in through the drive-up window and grabs several drink cups and tosses them while screaming, "Shut it down right now" and "Give me some food!"

He starts pointing at the employees -- who are off-screen but shrieking in terror. Then he pushes a metal storage shelf lined with electronics and other items, watching it all come crashing down.

But he doesn't stop there ... the maniac continues to yell that he wants food, violently shaking the fallen shelf while demanding two bags of French fries in his view.

One of the workers hands him the bags of food, but the guy is still not satisfied and shouts some more until he finally slams the drive-through window shut and walks off.

During his tirade, the man also used some foul language, calling the staff a "b***h" and other names.

We've reached out to the Baltimore County Police Department to see if they're investigating ... so far no word back.

Un cliente de McDonald's perdió completamente la cabeza y se puso a destrozar un restaurante de la cadena en Maryland.

El extraño incidente fue capturado en video y publicado en TikTok, y muestra al hombre furioso en el local de comida rápida en White Marsh, a unos 16 kilómetros al sur de Baltimore, hambriento y claramente descontento con el servicio que está recibiendo.

Echa un vistazo al clip, en él se ve al hombre acercándose a la ventana de autoservicio y luego agarrando varios vasos de bebida y arrojándolos hacia el interior mientras grita: "Apágalo ahora mismo" y "¡Dame algo de comida!".

Después empieza a señalar a los empleados, que no se ven en pantalla pero se los escucha gritar aterrorizados. A continuación, empuja un estante de almacenamiento de metal forrado con aparatos electrónicos y otros artículos y todo se derrumba.

Pero no se detiene ahí, el loco continúa gritando que quiere comida, sacude violentamente el estante que se había caído mientras exige dos bolsas de patatas fritas a la vista.

Uno de los trabajadores le entrega lo que pide, pero el tipo sigue sin calmarse y grita más hasta que finalmente cierra de golpe la ventanilla del autoservicio y se va.

Durante su diatriba, el extraño hombre también utilizó un lenguaje grosero, llamando al personal "b***h" y otros nombres.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con el Departamento de Policía del Condado de Baltimore para ver si están investigando, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

The Atlanta Hawks' idea of running an "OnlyFans" style promo with their mascot this week isn't sitting well with at least two of their players ... who took to social media on Thursday to hilariously drag the team over the vid.

The clip was dropped by the NBA org on its social media pages early Thursday morning to promote ATL's involvement in the league's new in-season tournament.

It featured Harry the Hawk seductively posing on a bed in his ATL gear ... while a woman whispered about Atlanta fans "knowing where the real action is."

"Hawks fans know just where to get it," the woman said in the video. "Join in and wake up your wild side."

Some found the footage funny -- but others, including Atlanta stars Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, didn't exactly love it.

"MANNNNNNN," Murray wrote on his X page while sharing the video, "DELETE THIS S***!!!!!!!'

Added Young, "I had no part of this.. 🤦‍♂️."

Victor Wembanyama got the opposite of a warm welcome in his first game at Madison Square Garden ... 'cause a bunch of ruthless Knicks fans made it clear they're not believing the hype surrounding the hoops phenom -- chanting "overrated" in the middle of the game!!

Of course, the San Antonio Spurs' No. 1 overall pick ruffled some feathers with the home crowd prior to Wednesday's matchup with New York ... when he said the Mecca wasn't as big as he expected.

Knickerbocker backers promised to give the 19-year-old hell as a result of his comments ... and they held true to their word throughout the contest -- booing and heckling the 7'4" hooper every chance they got.

Their efforts may have worked ... 'cause Wemby didn't have his best outing -- going 4-14 from the field en route to 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and a block.

Some people on social media weren't too pleased with the Knicks fans' antics -- saying it's wild to make such a claim eight games into his career ... especially when he's had some amazing performances in the Association so far.

Más fuegos artificiales entre Vivek y Nikki, esto después de que Vivek atacara a su familia sobre el modo en que usan TikTok, lo que provocó que ella le dijera que mantuviera los nombres de sus hijas alejados de su boca.

Las palabras de Will Smith siguen vivas....

Vivek Ramaswamy salió golpeando en el tercer debate republicano de esta semana, pero no fue tanto a sus rivales políticos sino a los moderadores.

El candidato del Partido Republicano, amigo de la polarización, fue a la ofensiva este miércoles en Miami, después de que uno de los moderadores de la NBC, Lester Holt, le preguntara por qué pensaba que debería ser el candidato republicano en lugar de Donald Trump, el que sigue liderando la carrera por mucho.

En lugar de responder la pregunta directamente, el candidato empezó a despotricar en contra del partido en general, después de algunas duras pérdidas en las elecciones nacionales del martes, y calificó al Partido Republicano de "perdedores."

Culpó a su presidenta, Ronna McDaniel por eso y luego se centró en Lester, Hugh Hewitt y Kristen Welker, todos quienes estaban moderando. Les dijo que no merecían estar moderando esto el encuentro y que Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan y Elon Musk sí.

Yendo a los que nos importa, Vivek ha estado muy cercano a Tucker últimamente y parece ser un fan de Joe Rogan y Elon Musk. Lester terminó cortando la brevísima intervención de Vivek, que quedó claro que fue solo incendiaria.

Finalmente, Vivek fue tras los otros candidatos, incluyendo un golpe a Nikki Haley, a quien caracterizó como un neo-con Dick Cheney-esque en "tacones de 3 pulgadas".

Golpe bajo, sin duda.

6:08 PM PT -- More fireworks between Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley ... this after he attacked her family over their use of TikTok, which spurred her to tell him to keep her daughters' names out of his mouth.

Will Smith's words live on ...

Vivek Ramaswamy came out swinging at the third Republican debate this week -- but it wasn't so much at his political rivals ... instead, he took aim at the moderators.

The polarizing GOP candidate went on the offensive right out the gate Wednesday in Miami ... this after one of the NBC moderators, Lester Holt, asked why he thought he should be the Republican nominee instead of Donald Trump ... who's still leading the pack by a lot.

Instead of answering the question directly, VR went on a rant bashing the party at large -- this after some tough losses in national elections Tuesday -- and called the GOP "losers."

He blamed the GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel for that, but then turned his focus on Lester, Hugh Hewitt and Kristen Welker -- all of whom were moderating ... saying they didn't deserve to be moderating this ... and that Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk did.

FWIW ... Vivek's done a lot of sit-downs with Tucker lately -- and he seems to be a fan of JR and EM, too. Lester ended up cutting him short once it became clear he was just bashing.

Vivek did eventually go after the other candidates, though ... including a shot at Nikki Haley -- whom he characterized as a Dick Cheney-esque neo-con in "3-inch heels." Low blow, indeed.

Adam22 and Lena the Plug are satisfying their needs by starting a new reality show ... where the winner gets to hop in the sack with the newlyweds ... TMZ has learned.

"For the Love of Lena" will see 10 men compete for the grand prize, or prizes ... as the case is here. Some of the contestants include TikToker Cripmac, tap-dancing virgin Cherdley, male porn star John Legendary -- who's known for banging other men's wives -- and "dreamboat" Thugger.

Expect some stiff competition when the show launches Monday on YouTube -- but the eventual champ's threesome with Lena and Adam -- their first male-male-female -- will be on OnlyFans. Sorry, no freebies for the steamy, and very adult, finale.

Adam and Lena are no strangers to making headlines for their unconventional marriage -- you'll recall he became the butt of jokes earlier this year when he fully consented to male porn star Jason Luv sleeping with his wife.

Lena passionately defended his honor, telling us it was a double standard because they had hundreds of threesomes with other women and no one took issue with that.

If you didn't know, the couple's been doing their successful "Plug Talk Podcast" for years ... where they interview a random woman before hooking up with her. Now, they're on to bigger things, leveling the playing field with the reality competition.
