You Might Want to Rethink

El cómico Shane Gillis vuelve a estar en la mira: el anuncio de que será el presentador de "SNL" le recuerda a algunas personas los epítetos racistas que utilizaba en su época de pódcast.

Shane es conocido por su atrevida comedia de stand-up -es muy popular en YouTube y Netflix- y aunque no ha rehuido de su controvertido humor del pasado, resulta chocante escucharlo soltar insultos en medio de chistes anecdóticos.

Lorne Michaels y "SNL" contrataron a Shane en 2019, pero lo despidieron antes de que apareciera en el programa debido a las reacciones por los chistes antiasiáticos que había hecho en otro pódcast.

El contenido ofensivo proviene de un pódcast llamado "A Fair One", y Shane hace algunas bromas controvertidas, o al menos el lenguaje fue controvertido, ya que descargó la palabra con n, la palabra homofóbica y un insulto judío en particular.

Basado en la historia de Shane con "SNL", puedes apostar a que los productores saben que algo de este material está flotando por ahí en la Internet.

Cuando fue despedido en 2019, se disculpó diciendo: "Soy un comediante que empuja los límites. A veces fallo. Si repasas mis 10 años de comedia, la mayoría mala, vas a encontrar muchos fallos".

También dijo que se disculparía con "cualquiera que se haya sentido realmente ofendido por algo que haya dicho".

Es justo suponer que "SNL" siente que ha hecho las paces o evolucionado como comediante, porque lo han traído de vuelta como anfitrión.

Si usted está familiarizado con los especiales de standup de Shane, usted sabe que él dice un montón de chistes raciales y LGBTQ +, pero el material de pódcast se siente aún más polémico. Definitivamente no es el tipo de lenguaje que esperarías en su monólogo de "SNL".

Claro, es un programa nocturno, pero los censores de la NBC siguen vigilando.

Comedian Shane Gillis is back under the microscope -- with 'SNL' announcing he's hosting, it reminds some people of the racial epithets he used in his podcasting days.

Shane's known for his edgy stand-up comedy -- he's very popular on YouTube and Netflix -- and while he hasn't shied away from his past controversial humor, it's jarring to hear him dropping slurs in the middle of anecdotal jokes.

Lorne Michaels and 'SNL' hired Shane in 2019, but fired him before he ever appeared on the show due to backlash over anti-Asian jokes he'd made on a different podcast.

The offensive content here comes from a podcast called "A Fair One," and Shane delivers some controversial jokes -- or at least the language was controversial ... as he unloaded the n-word, the homophobic f-word, and a particular Jewish slur, too.

Based on Shane's history with 'SNL' ya gotta believe producers know some of this material is floating out there on the internet.

When he got canned back in 2019, he apologized, saying ... "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses."

He also said he'd apologize to "anyone who's actually offended by anything I've said."

It's fair to assume, 'SNL' feels he's made amends, or evolved as a comedian ... because they've brought him back to host.

If you're familiar with Shane's standup specials, you know he tells plenty of racial and LGBTQ+ jokes -- but the podcast stuff feels even edgier. Definitely not the kinda language you'd expect in his 'SNL' monologue.

Sure, it's late-night programming, but NBC's censors are still up and watching!

A couple says they got robbed at gunpoint at Craig's in an incident caught on camera -- and now, they're dragging the celebrity hotspot to court.

Felipe Darrell and Terry Christanio say they are the couple seen on surveillance video being robbed outside Craig's last year ... and they're pissed at restaurant owner Craig Susser, claiming he's shown no concern for them because they're not famous.

Felipe and Terry say Susser hasn't given them the time of day since the robbery ... and now they're suing him and his restaurant.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, they were leaving Craig's after dinner back in August, and were waiting in the valet area when 3 armed men hopped out of a car and robbed them at gunpoint.

The video shows the suspects throwing a man in a suit to the ground, and ordering a woman to get on the pavement -- Felipe claims they stole his Rolex and necklace, and they both feared for their lives during the robbery.

In their suit, Felipe and Terry say Craig's lone security guard was too distracted taking photos of other guests to notice a car full of men casing out the joint ... and they say the robbers were even parked at valet when they hopped out of the car to jack their jewelry.

The couple claims the brazen robbery followed other similar incidents at popular restaurants in the West Hollywood area last summer ... and Felipe and Terry say Craig's should have beefed up security in response.

It's been over 5 months since the incident and Felipe and Terry say the restaurant owner blew off an offer to meet and talk about what happened ... and they say they're suing so Craig's is held accountable for what they see as negligence.

Authorities claim Patrick Mahomes' father was driving around with an open can of beer in his car before he was arrested for DWI on Saturday night.

The allegation is spelled out in an arrest affidavit from the Smith County Sheriff’s Office ... according to the New York Post.

The outlet reported Monday that in the docs, an officer wrote Mahomes Sr. was found with an open, 16-ounce Coors beverage in his center console after he was pulled over around 8:30 PM in Tyler, Texas.

The officer added that Mahomes Sr. told them during the stop he "had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar" before he got behind the wheel.

Officials wrote in the docs they initially pulled over Mahomes Sr. after they discovered his car had expired tags after he was seen driving slower than the rest of traffic in the area.

The arresting officer alleged Mahomes Sr. failed field sobriety tests once they got him out of his vehicle ... writing in the docs, "I believed Patrick was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place."

Mahomes Sr. was ultimately booked on a felony charge of driving while impaired. It's his third DWI -- and if he's convicted this time, he's facing up to 10 years behind bars.

Mahomes Sr. will, however, still be allowed to travel to watch his son play in the Super Bowl this weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned no travel ban was imposed on him as part of the conditions of his bond -- although it remains unclear if the Chiefs quarterback will now want him in attendance.

Kim Zolciak is apparently sick of reading about herself in the press -- something she believes Kroy Biermann may be behind ... and now she wants a judge to step in and rectify.

The reality TV star just filed new court docs, obtained by TMZ, in which she's asking the court to issue a protective order in their ongoing divorce case ... so she can redact sensitive info like certain names and financial records in the docs she's handing over as she and Kroy continue to hash out their issues.

Long story short ... Kim says there's a lot of interest in this case -- and sure, there is -- and notes that there's been press coverage at every juncture as their divorce continues to play out.

Along the way, however, Kim says some embarrassing info about herself and Kroy has surfaced amid these proceedings ... stuff that she claims she most definitely doesn't want out for the masses to read, but which she says is getting out anyway.

Thing is ... Kim here in her new docs claims she's attempted try and get on the same page with Kroy over a confidentiality order that she says she's attempted to get Kroy to agree to.

According to her ... KB flatly rejected her proposed confidentiality order ... and she says that led her to believe Kroy is actually the one leaking things to the media.

As a result, she's now begging a judge to step in with some court-ordered discretion that would help ensure sensitive info doesn't make its way into the public record.

Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro are staying together after all ... TMZ Sports has learned the Miami Dolphins star's divorce case has been dismissed.

Broward County court records show the wideout filed to drop his petition on Jan. 30 ... just eight days after it was initially filed.

The records now show the matter has been "dismissed, settled or disposed before hearing."

Of course, Hill told the public late last month this would be coming ... saying on a live stream that he never gave his people the green light to file the papers in the first place.

He added at the time that he "fired the f***ing bonehead that did that mistake."

Hill also said in a post on his X page that he and Keeta "are happily married and gone stay that way."

The two have presented a united front ever since the divorce filing went public -- Keeta shared some loving snaps of them on social media ... and she even traveled with him to last weekend's Pro Bowl Games in Orlando.

La 66ª edición de los Grammy no ha empezado de la mejor manera, porque la Academia ha hecho que Warren Beatty, ¡y los fans de Nicki Minaj se enfaden!

Así es la cosa, los Grammys no comienzan hasta las 5 PM, pero antes de la ceremonia, la Academia utiliza su cuenta de X para entregar algunos de los trofeos, básicamente para reducir el tiempo durante la ceremonia.

Uno de esos premios, Mejor Canción de Rap, le fue entregado a Nicki Minaj y Ice Spice por su canción "Barbie World", fue un gran momento para los raperos, pero no duró porque, la Academia aparentemente tuvo que retirarlo.

Verás... la Academia borró ese tuit de felicitación y publicó uno diferente, diciendo que Killer Mike en realidad había ganado el trofeo por su tema "Scientists & Engineers" con André 3000, Future, y Eryn Allen Kane.

Nicki ya ha pasado por esto antes, lleva 12 nominaciones sin llevarse un premio. También fue nominada a Mejor Canción Escrita para Medios Visuales, pero perdió frente a Billie Eilish y FINNEAS por "What Was I Made For?". ¡Cuando llueve, diluvia!

Pero si alguien se lo está tomando peor que Nicki, son las Barbz, que piensan que toda la ceremonia está arreglada.

De hecho, están tan seguros de esto que tienen #Scammys y #BarbieWorld como trending en X, básicamente afirmando que la Academia amañó los resultados debido a la explosiva pelea entre Nicki y Megan Thee Stallion.

The 66th Grammy Awards aren't off to the best start ... 'cause the Recording Academy pulled a Warren Beatty -- and Nicki Minaj fans are PISSED!!!

Here's the deal ... the Grammys don't start until 5 PM PT, but before the ceremony, the Recording Academy uses its X account to hand out some of the trophies -- basically to cut down time during the ceremony.

One of those awards ... Best Rap Song, which was won by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice for their song "Barbie World" -- a huge moment for the rappers -- except it didn't last 'cause the Academy seemingly took it back.

You see ... the Recording Academy deleted that congratulatory tweet and posted a different one -- saying Killer Mike had actually won the trophy for his track "Scientists & Engineers" featuring André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane.

Multiple outlets are reporting KM as the real winner of the Gramophone... so it seems NM and IS are officially out of luck!

Nicki's been through this song and dance before ... she's now racked up 12 nominations without taking home a single one. She was also nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media -- but lost that one to Billie Eilish and FINNEAS for "What Was I Made For?" When it rains, it pours!

But if anyone's taking it harder than Nicki ... it's the Barbz -- who think the whole damn ceremony is rigged.

In fact, they're so sure about this they've got #Scammys and #BarbieWorld trending on X ... basically claiming the Academy rigged the results because of Nicki's explosive beef with Megan Thee Stallion.

So is there some kinda of grand conspiracy going on, or just an honest mistake from the Recording Academy's social media manager? Let us know below.

Shane Gillis is finally going to take the "Saturday Night Live" stage ... four years after he was fired for racist comments before his first episode.

The controversial comedian will host the show on February 24 alongside musical guest 21 Savage -- a little over four years after he was fired from the program after jokes featuring racist and homophobic slurs came to light.

As we previously reported ... SG was hired back in 2019 before a comment he made on "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" the previous year. You can watch the clip above ... it's pretty demeaning language.

Obviously, this comment caused a firestorm ... with an 'SNL' spokesperson saying Lorne Michaels and other execs had sat down with Shane and decided he wasn't the right fit for the show.

Shane responded at the time with the statement, "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses." He also said he'd personally apologize to anyone who was offended.

Bowen Yang -- the prominent Asian American cast member of the iconic sketch show, who was hired the same year as Shane and is still on the show -- said he was going to sit down with Shane after the decision was made.

Yang will almost certainly appear alongside Gillis in the episode ... unclear if their convo ever went down or how he feels about the embattled comedian.

FWIW ... Gillis hasn't stopped saying controversial jokes over the years -- though perhaps they aren't as inflammatory as his 2018 comments.

However, he's still got fans up in arms over his hosting gig ... with many taking to social media to blast the NBC staple for allowing Shane the platform.

We'll have to wait and see if Shane addresses his firing on the show in a few weeks.

Shane Gillis finalmente va a subir al escenario de "Saturday Night Live" cuatro años después de haber sido despedido por comentarios racistas antes de su primer episodio.

El polémico comediante será el anfitrión del show el 24 de febrero junto al invitado musical 21 Savage, un poco más de cuatro años después de que fue despedido del programa después de que salieran a la luz chistes con insultos racistas y homofóbicos.

Como informamos anteriormente, el comediante fue contratado en 2019 antes de un comentario que hizo en "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" el año anterior. Puedes ver el clip arriba... es un lenguaje bastante degradante.

Obviamente, este comentario causó una tormenta de fuego, con un portavoz de "SNL" diciendo que Lorne Michaels y otros ejecutivos se habían sentado con Shane y decidieron que no era el adecuado para el programa.

Shane respondió en ese momento con la siguiente declaración: "Soy un cómico que va más allá de los límites. A veces fallo. Si repasas mis 10 años de comedia, la mayoría de ellos malos, encontrarás muchos fallos". También dijo que se disculparía personalmente con quien se sintiera ofendido.

Bowen Yang -el destacado miembro asiático-americano del elenco del icónico programa de sketches, que fue contratado el mismo año que Shane y sigue en el programa- dijo que iba a sentarse con Shane después de que se tomara la decisión.

Yang es casi seguro que aparecerá junto a Gillis en el episodio y no está claro si su conversación fue en torno a cómo se siente respecto a la participación del comediante.

Gillis no ha dejado de decir chistes polémicos los últimos años, aunque tal vez no son tan inflamatorias como sus comentarios de 2018.

Sin embargo, todavía tiene a los fanáticos en armas por su actuación como anfitrión, con muchos tomando las redes sociales para arremeter contra NBC por permitirle participar a Shane.

Tendremos que esperar y ver si Shane aborda su despido en el programa en unas pocas semanas.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. fue arrestado por conducir en estado de ebriedad por tercera vez o más... TMZ ha indagado.

El padre de 53 años de Patrick Mahomes fue arrestado el sábado por la noche en Texas, según los registros de reserva en línea. Se espera que la fianza se establezca más tarde hoy mismo.

Este no es el primer arresto de Mahomes por conducir bajo estado de ebriedad según los informes, también fue arrestado en 2019 y fue sentenciado a 40 días de cárcel. Según los informes, cumplió su condena los fines de semana para cumplir con su requisito.

Es un mal momento para Mahomes Sr. ser arrestado, su hijo está a pocos días de competir contra los 49ers de San Francisco por un título del Super Bowl.

Pat Sr. hizo olas a principios de este mes por bromear que no se sentaría junto a Taylor Swift en el juego del Campeonato de la Conferencia AFC, ahora, no está claro si llegará a la Super Bowl.

3:49 PM PT -- Mahomes Sr. was released on $10,000 bail ... according to online jail records.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was arrested for driving while intoxicated for the third time or more ... TMZ has learned.

The 53-year-old father of Patrick Mahomes was arrested Saturday night in Texas according to online booking records. Bond is reportedly expected to be set later today.

This isn't Mahomes' first arrest for DWI ... he was also reportedly arrested back in 2019 for DWI second or more for which he was sentenced to 40 days in jail. He reportedly served the time on weekends to fulfill his requirement.

It's a pretty wild time for Mahomes Sr. to be arrested ... his son is just days away from competing against the San Francisco 49ers for a Super Bowl title.

Pat Sr. made waves earlier this month for joking he wouldn't sit next to Taylor Swift at the AFC Conference Championship game ... now, it's unclear if he will make it to the Super Bowl.

We've reached out to the Mahomes camp for comment ... so far no word back.

Ayo Edebiri hizo un mea culpa en "SNL" el sábado por la noche, pidiéndole disculpas a JLo por haber insultado sus habilidades como cantante hace unos años.

La estrella de "The Bear" fue la anfitriona, pero el momento más destacado fue el sketch de "Jeopardy", llamado "¿Por qué lo dijiste?". Los concursantes se enfrentaron a mensajes crueles en redes sociales y el anfitrión Kenan Thompson exigió una explicación.

A Ayo le mostraron una foto de una mujer disfrutando de la lluvia, y según el sketch, ella había comentado: "Muérete".  Es bastante gracioso, pero Ayo dijo esto: "Está mal publicar comentarios malvados solo por influencia o abrir la boca en un pódcast y no considerar el impacto porque tienes 24 años y eres estúpido, pero creo que hablo por todos cuando digo que a partir de ahora vamos a ser mucho más reflexivos sobre lo que publicamos en línea".

Ayo no hizo referencia a Jennifer López, pero es obvio lo que quiere decir. Como informó TMZ, Ayo estuvo en el pódcast "Scam Goddess" en 2020 y llamó a la carrera musical de JLo "una larga estafa". Ha habido mucha conversación a partir de estos comentarios desde entonces.

Ayo Edebiri did a mea culpa on "SNL" Saturday night ... circuitously apologizing to JLo for throwing shade on her singing skills a few years back.

"The Bear" star took up hosting duties, but the standout moment was the "Jeopardy" skit, which was called -- "Why'd You Say It?" The contestants were confronted with mean/snarky/cruel social media posts and host Kenan Thompson demanded an explanation.

Ayo was shown a pic of a woman enjoying the rain, and, according to the skit, she had commented, "Die."  Funny enough, but Ayo said this -- "It's wrong to leave mean comments or post mean comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast and you don't consider the impact because you are 24, and stupid, but I think, I speak for everyone when I say that from now on, we're gonna be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online."

Ayo didn't reference Jennifer Lopez, but it's obvious what she did here. As TMZ reported, Ayo was on the "Scam Goddess" podcast back in 2020 and called JLo's music career "one long scam," saying she could carry a note and might not sing all her tracks. There have been long-running theories on this, and Ayo played into it.

"Foodgod" Jonathan Cheban's not letting Fontainebleau Vegas off the hook -- even though the resort's updated its much-maligned nachos, he has a different plan for upping their appetizer game.

We got the reality TV personality/foodie out in NYC this week and asked him about Fontainebleau's viral nacho debacle. He was actually at the hotel's opening night, and while he complimented most of the menu options ... he went scorched earth on the nachos.

ICYMI, the meager nacho offering went viral after a pic of the plate, priced at $24, ended up on social media. The unappetizing dish caused a frenzy on X, and 'Bleau ultimately redid their nachos and posted an updated pic, trying to do some damage control.

JC's very clear on where the hotel went wrong ... saying the chef should've invited him into the kitchen to design a truly over-the-top nacho plate.

As for whether nachos should even be on a five-star menu, the "Foodgod" is unequivocal -- it all depends on what you put on those bad boys! He was generous enough to offer up a few ingredients to make high-class gourmet nachos. Pay attention, Fontainebleau!!!

And, if the ritzy Vegas spot hears something they like here, it better move quickly. Foodgod's a gun for hire, and is already chatting with other Strip hotels.

One more thing, lots of folks were pissed about the $24 price tag for the "nachos" -- but Cheban's cosigning on that ... pointing out nachos at regular places go for about $17, and Fontainebleau's far from regular!

Alyssa Milano's responding to claims she got Shannen Doherty fired from "Charmed" way back in the early 2000s ... well, kinda.

The actress -- who played Phoebe Halliwell on 178 episodes of "Charmed" from 1998 to 2006 -- hit the stage at 2024 MegaCon Orlando Friday to talk about the hit show ... and, of course, Shannen Doherty's controversial comments came up.

ICYMI ... Doherty hopped on her podcast titled "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty" back in December and spoke with former costar Holly Marie Combs about their experiences on the show -- and with Milano.

Among the many stories -- Holly said Alyssa went to the producers and laid down an ultimatum ... axe Shannen or she'd quit and sue "Charmed" for being a hostile workplace which led to Doherty's unceremonious exit.

Obviously, fans needed to get an answer from Alyssa, and they got one ... just one that completely skirted the claims themselves.

Check out the video taken by a fan at the convention and posted to YouTube. Alyssa starts by saying she wants to address the elephant in the room, but she basically avoids the tusks and trunk entirely.

Instead of answering the claims directly, Milano kept reiterating how "sad" she was by all of the "toxicity" surrounding the show before saying she was upset "people can’t move past it. And I’m sad that we all can’t just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us."

It seems Milano did get choked up while saying her piece, appearing to brush away tears onstage ... but she didn't clear up what happened with Doherty's exit, and the whole thing actually makes it seem like Milano may have done exactly what SD accused her of.

BTW ... Alyssa's active on Twitter -- retweeting a couple posts about her comments at the convention, but not adding any new info as of yet.

Shannen's still got her podcast though ... so maybe another Alyssa Milano-filled episode coming soon?
