'WONKA' EXPERIENCE ORGANIZERS APOLOGY ISSUED!! 'Sorry, That Being Said ... '
The organizers of the disastrous Willy Wonka experience in the UK have issued an official apology -- that's after nearly a week of pure chaos, anger and rib-tickling memes.
Glasgow-based House of Illuminati -- the team behind the now-viral attraction -- laid it out on FB Friday ... owning up to the fiasco and acknowledging the disappointment and frustration they caused to all those parents who just wanted to show their kids a good time.
That being said ... HOI says that while it takes full responsibility for its decisions surrounding the debacle, anyone who was hired externally is categorically not affiliated with them -- meaning that tossing out allegations against those who didn't have anything to do with the mess can do some serious damage.
They're basically reminding everyone ... get the full story before casting judgment.
The person behind the post also lets us in on a deeply personal matter ... saying that they too are paying the price for the failed venture 'cause their wedding is now off.
Although, they note ... the ticket sales weren't ever gonna fund it in the first place.
They're also working hard to rectify the situation ... and refunding all 850 transactions of 35 pounds a pop is definitely a step in the right direction.
All in all, they're asking for some sympathy and time to process everything that's happened, adding ... "My intention is to learn from this experience. Your support and understanding during this time mean the world to me."
The official apology came after video surfaced of HOI facing off against some seriously angry parents -- who demanded refunds in a heated clip making the rounds online.
Paul Connell, one of the Wonkas caught up in this viral mess, also spilled the tea to TMZ ... saying the situation spiraled to the point cops had to be called. Adding insult to injury, PC also claimed he still hadn't been paid the 500 pounds (roughly $633) for his part in the event.
Nonetheless, the pissed parents have all rallied together and are reportedly working on putting on their own "Wonka" exhibit.
So let's hope that'll end up being a sweet success filled with magic, joy, and plenty of chocolate this time round.

PADRE DE BIANCA CENSORI VAMOS A ACLARAR LAS COSAS YE Dice que quiere hablar sobre la ropa
Si la ropa de Bianca Censori te ha llamado la atención, imagina ser su padre... quien ha visto todo y parece que está muy enfadado al respecto.
Fuentes cercanas a Bianca le dijeron a Daily Mail que su padre, Leo, quiere sentarse a charlar con Kanye West para discutir los trajes que su hija está usando.
De acuerdo con el informe, Leo quiere preguntarle a Ye a quemarropa cómo es posible que pueda pasear a su esposa con ropa apenas transparente como un "trofeo desnudo de mala calidad", no son exactamente las palabras que cualquiera querría escuchar de su suegro.
Al parecer, Leo también quiere preguntarle a Ye si le parecería bien que sus hijas se pasearan por ahí con ropa igual de transparente cuando crecieran, porque francamente, lo duda.
Como ya hemos dicho, Bianca está sorprendiendo constantemente con su moda y recientemente lo mostró todo usando medias transparentes.
Definitivamente, ha dado de qué hablar, pero no es la primera vez que lleva ropa reveladora, ¿recuerdas cuando estaba totalmente desnuda en un impermeable o los bodys que usó en Italia? Claramente no es de las que se abrigan.
Obviamente, Leo parece pensar que Kanye está forzando a su hija, similar a lo que se comenta en línea.
1/29/24
Leo también tiene muchas ganas de preguntarle a Ye por qué está aparentemente aislándola de su familia, por lo tanto, suena como que el querido papá cree que Ye está controlando a Bianca en múltiples ámbitos de la vida.
¡Tomaremos incómodas charlas familiares por $800, Alex!
Lo cubrimos todo en el último episodio de The TMZ Podcast, disponible en todas las plataformas de pódcast.
Bianca Censori's Dad Let's Rap, Ye ... Reportedly Wants to Talk Bianca's Clothes
If Bianca Censori's racy, barely-there outfits have your eyes popping, imagine being her father ... who's seen all the worldwide attention, and it sounds like he's pretty enraged about it.
Sources close to Bianca told Daily Mail that her dad, Leo, wants to sit down for a chat with Kanye West to discuss the outfits his daughter's wearing ... and these sources are saying he's outright gonna go on a tirade if he does get face time with him.
According to the report, Leo wants to ask Ye point-blank how he could possibly march his wife around in barely-there clothes like some "trashy naked trophy pony" -- not exactly the words anyone would wanna hear from their father-in-law.
Leo also apparently wants to ask Ye if he'd be cool with his daughters walking around wearing similarly sheer clothing when they grow up -- 'cause quite frankly, he doubts it.
As we've told ya ... Bianca's constantly pushing the envelope with her fashion, recently going as far as straight-up flashing her vagina while wearing sheer tights.
She's definitely going further and further with each new outfit, but it's not like this is the first time she's worn super revealing clothing -- remember her being totally naked in a raincoat or all the nude-colored bodysuits in Italy? She's not the bundling-up type.
Obviously, Leo seems to think Kanye's forcing all of these choices on his daughter ... similar to online buzz that sparked up a few months back about Ye taking away his wife's free will.
1/29/24
Leo's also reportedly keen on asking Ye why he's seemingly shutting her off from her family ... so, it sounds like dear ol' Dad believes Ye's controlling Bianca in multiple arenas in life.
We'll take uncomfortable family chats for $800, Alex!

Fyre Festival Founder 'Wonka' Team Needs to Make Amends ... Then Come to FF2 For Redemption!!!
-
Exclusive
- 91 shares
The team behind the viral, and failed, Willy Wonka experience has some making up to do, and Billy McFarland -- a guy who's very familiar with that situation -- wants to give them a shot at getting it right.
We talked to the Fyre Festival founder in NYC, and had to ask him about that Wonka disaster in the UK that's captured the world's attention ... and instantly reminded folks of Billy's own failed festival.
ICYMI ... pics from a pop-up Willy Wonka experience in Scotland have been all over X and other social media platforms with people complaining about how truly lackluster and appalling the whole thing was.
And, Billy agrees ... saying right off the bat he thinks organizers need to make amends with the kids for the one-star factory tour ASAP, and IF that happens ... he's offering team Wonka a spot at Fyre Festival II.
Remember, Billy put on a similarly, and legendarily, bad experience in the form of a music festival for high-paying fans back in 2017 in the Bahamas. The set-up was abysmal, and Billy later pled guilty to defrauding investors. He served around four years in prison.
McFarland says he wants to give the Wonka folks a chance to do things right at Fyre 2 ... albeit with some guardrails in place to keep everything on track.
Billy's clearly got the second Fyre Festival on his mind ... saying it's set for some time next year, but his partners will announce the date when they're ready. For now, he's taking on more of a marketing role and trying not to go overboard and do too much.
And, it seems like Fyre tickets are goin' quickly ... with Billy telling the world on Thursday that the Fyre II presale has received applications for around $110 million worth of tickets.
Clearly, second chances can be hella lucrative -- so, the 'Wonka' people might wanna look into taking Billy up on his offer!

FUNDADOR DEL "FYRE FESTIVAL" EL EQUIPO DE "WONKA" TIENE QUE REDIMIRSE Hay padres indignados...

El equipo detrás de la experiencia viral de Willy Wonka necesita compensar a los niños -según Billy McFarland- quien quiere darle a los organizadores una oportunidad de redención.
Hablamos con el fundador del Festival Fyre en la ciudad de Nueva York el martes y tuvimos que preguntarle acerca de la experiencia Willy Wonka que ha capturado la atención del mundo, mientras que se podría compar con el propio festival fallido de Billy.
Fotos de una experiencia de Willy Wonka fallida en Escocia han circulado por X y otras plataformas de redes sociales con la gente quejándose de lo verdaderamente mediocre y espantoso que fue todo el asunto.
Billy está de acuerdo, diciendo desde el principio que él piensa que los organizadores tienen que hacer las paces con los niños lo antes posible, y luego les ofreció una rama de olivo y un lugar en el Festival Fyre II.
Recordemos que Billy vivió una mala experiencia similar en la forma de un festival de música para los fanáticos de alto pago de vuelta en 2017 en las Bahamas. El montaje fue pésimo, y Billy más tarde se declaró culpable de estafar a los inversores. Cumplió unos cuatro años de cárcel.
McFarland quiere darle al equipo la oportunidad de hacer las cosas bien en Fyre 2, aunque con algunos guardarraíles en su lugar para mantener todo en orden.
Billy claramente tiene el segundo Festival Fyre en su mente, diciendo que está programado para algún momento del próximo año, pero sus socios anunciarán la fecha cuando estén listos. Por ahora, él está tomando más de un papel de marketing y tratando de no ir por la borda y hacer demasiado.
Parece que las entradas de Fyre se van rápidamente, con Billy contándonos que el día que la preventa Fyre ha recibido solicitudes de alrededor de $110 millones de dólares en entradas.
Suena como una segunda oportunidad muy lucrativa, la gente de "Wonka" podría interesarse en la nueva oferta de Billy.
'Love Is Blind' Alleged 'Script' Spotted in the Pods ... It Ain't What You Think!!!

Exclusive
- 79 shares
"Love Is Blind" is facing a conspiracy theory that the show is staged after a supposed script was spotted in a scene from season 6 -- but TMZ knows the truth ... and it's all live, baby!
A still shot of contestant Jessica Vestal from earlier this season is making the rounds online -- which shows the single mother with a notebook filled with printed-out text sitting on her lap during a pod date with Jimmy Presnell.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Since the notebook was presented like a regular ol' journal ... fans were quick to speculate that the Netflix reality series might be hiding something -- namely, that the whole thing is staged, to be exact, and that Jess wasn't taking notes but rather ... reading lines.
Despite the rampant speculation, a production source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the show is absolutely not scripted, and the printouts in question are merely questions the contestants are provided in case they need some ideas on topics to hit in conversation.
For example, we're told some of these questions seen in the journals could be something like ... "What’s your favorite color," or something else personal to keep the vibes flowing.
Our sources tell us that the prompts you see are simply meant to help the contestants get to know each other. Remember, the 'LIB' contestants initially meet with a wall between them -- so a little assistance isn't wildly unexpected, and that's exactly what this is.
Watching Love is Blind I realized Cole’s notebook seems to have a printed out sheet glued in. Could it be a script? Do they have access to computers/printers for their notes? Does Cole bullet journal/scrapbook? I have so many questions. 👀 pic.twitter.com/GbYKTdA7NS
— Ces Heredia-Rothschild (@CesHeredia) October 23, 2022 @CesHeredia
Now, whether the contestants are overselling the notion these are just plain old notebooks to scribble things down in -- when there are clearly things written in there ahead of time for them -- is a different story ... because yes, they most certainly do seem to be playing it up.
The point is, though ... there's no scandal here, and there's no script either. We're told 'Love is Blind' is 100% live reality TV -- and what you see is what you get in terms of interactions.
BTW, this isn't the first time the notebooks have been questioned by viewers.
The journals were actually called out way back in season 3 -- when a similar photo ... this time featuring Cole Barnett -- was posted to X. At the time ... one fan declared they were left with "so many questions" over the journal.
We're glad to have shut the book on this conspiracy, FWIW.

Lizzo ¡¡¡No rechacé a J Lo para estar en su película!!!
Lizzo se está oponiendo a la idea de que rechazó un cameo para la nueva película de Jennifer López y suena como que... si hubiera sabido, habría aceptado.
Esta es la cuestión: J Lo reveló todas las celebridades que supuestamente rechazaron papeles en su reciente película "This Is Me ... Now", en un documental de Prime Video sobre la realización de su nuevo álbum, y el nombre de Lizzo apareció como "no disponible".
Sin embargo, Lizzo está diciendo algo diferente, literalmente. En un post de TikTok, la cantante dijo que nadie le comentó sobre la oferta para esta película. Es más, asegura que nadie le pidió participar en el proyecto.
Pese a todo, Lizzo no tiene ningún resentimiento, mira a la cámara y le dice a J Lo que la quiere. Por lo tanto, no está enojada... pero sí levanta sospechas, sin duda.
Recordemos que en el documental "Greatest Love Story Never Told", J Lo contó su historia de amor desde su perspectiva, aunque parece que el casting estuvo lleno de sorpresas.
Entre las celebridades que según el equipo de J Lo decidieron pasar de la película están Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Vanessa Hudgens, Snoop Dogg, SZA, Bad Bunny y Anthony Ramos.
La mayoría de las estrellas tenía conflictos legítimos. Taylor estaba tocando en el marco de su gira "Eras" y Ariana estaba filmando "Wicked" al otro lado del charco. J Lo dijo que Khloé Kardashian se echó para atrás de hacer un cameo a último minuto.
A pesar de que sus representantes están diciendo que un montón de gente pasó del proyecto, dos personas hasta el momento han dicho que eso es falso. Jennifer Coolidge habló con un paparazzi ayer y negó que tuviera algún tipo de conocimiento y ahora Lizzo está diciendo que ella tampoco tenía ni idea de esto.
Por supuesto, J Lo se las arregló para embolsar un par de grandes nombres, incluyendo Sofia Vergara, Jane Fonda, Keke Palmer, Post Malone y Trevor Noah.
Lo que bien acaba, bien está, suponemos, pero es extraño que haya dos versiones en esto.
Bueno... 🤷🏽♂️
Lizzo I Didn't Turn Down J Lo For Movie Role!!!
Lizzo is pushing back on the notion she turned down a cameo for the new Jennifer Lopez movie ... and it sounds like she would've come aboard if she knew about it.
Here's the deal ... J Lo revealed all the celebs who allegedly passed on roles in her recent flick "This Is Me ... Now" in a Prime Video doc about the making of her new album ... and Lizzo's name came up as being "unavailable."
However, Lizzo's singing a different tune, literally. In a TikTok post, Lizzo claims no one told her about the movie offer. She doubles down, claiming she wasn't asked to be in the flick.
No hard feelings from Lizzo though ... she looks into the camera and tells J Lo she loves her. So, she's not really bent out of shape -- but it does raise an eyebrow, no doubt.
Remember, in the 'Greatest Love Story Never Told' doc, J Lo tells her love story through her eyes ... but it sounds like the casting journey was full of twists and turns.
Among the celebs J Lo's teams said passed on the flick ... Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Vanessa Hudgens, Snoop Dogg, SZA, Bad Bunny and Anthony Ramos.
Most of the stars had legitimate conflicts ... Taylor was doing her 'Eras' tour and Ariana was filming "Wicked" across the pond ... but J Lo claims Khloé Kardashian backed out of a cameo at the last second.
Despite her reps saying a bunch of people passed on the project -- two people so far have come forward to refute that ... JC talked to a pap just yesterday and denied any knowledge, and now -- Lizzo's saying she, too, had no clue about this.
Of course, J Lo did manage to bag a couple big names ... including Sofia Vergara, Jane Fonda, Keke Palmer, Post Malone and Trevor Noah.
All's well that ends well, we suppose ... but it is weird that there are two different accounts of this.
Oh well! 🤷🏽♂️

NFL Prospect Tip Reiman Birds Aren't Real Ever See A Baby Pigeon?!?
Former Illinois football star Tip Reiman had the most memorable quote of the NFL Combine so far ... telling reporters he believes birds are not what they seem!!
For those who aren't in on the joke ... the "Birds Aren't Real" movement made waves a few years ago, when a guy named Peter McIndoe created a satirical conspiracy that winged animals are actually spy drones for the U.S. Government.
A bunch of people joined in on the troll job ... and now, it's even made its way to professional football.
Reiman -- who had 203 yards and three touchdowns last season -- revealed his allegiance with the movement on Thursday ... hitting reporters with several questions that support his stance.
"Have you ever seen a baby pigeon?" Reiman asked, according to Owen Riese. "How do we know that power lines aren't pigeon recharging stations?"
Some people think Reiman is actually serious ... comparing him to Aaron Rodgers, who's been known to rock a tinfoil hat from time to time.
Texas Tech's Tyler Owens, who's a favorite to post the fastest 40 at this year's NFL combine, doesn't "believe in space," as in "other planets," and feels flat-earth theories have some "valid points." pic.twitter.com/jE2jv9vyLv
— Brent Sobleski (@brentsobleski) February 29, 2024 @brentsobleski
But Reiman's take wasn't the only bizarre statement out of Indy this week -- Texas Tech standout Tyler Owens also told reporters he doesn't believe other planets exist ... adding some flat-earthers have a strong argument.
Kids these days.

Tish Cyrus Surfaces Amid New Report Allegedly 'Stole' Hubby From Noah?!?
Tish Cyrus was just seen for the first time since being accused of "stealing" her husband Dominic Purcell from her estranged daughter, Noah ... and Mama Bear didn't wanna chat.
Miley Cyrus' mom was spotted Wednesday in Beverly Hills, driving out of a parking garage in her Toyota SUV after grabbing a bite at Soho House ... and dodging questions from a swarm of paparazzi on the way out.
It also looks like Dominic himself had joined her ... as he was caught on camera in a different car while parked outside the lot.
Tish is being hounded by photogs in the wake of a report this week claiming Noah was romantically involved with Dominic first -- apparently before Tish got with him following her 2022 divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus.
While Tish and Dominic have since tied the knot and are happily married now, this report casts doubt on the timeline of things -- claiming NC was actually seeing Dom first, when her mom eventually started pursuing him as well. Supposedly, Tish knew Noah was with him.
It's unclear exactly when Noah was dating Dominic -- if this is to be believed -- or when things ended between her and Dom and where a romance started with Tish. The report suggests there may have been some overlap ... and considering Noah's estranged from Tish, it's safe to assume there's some bad blood and harsh feelings over this alleged love triangle.
The claims also add another layer to some perceived drama among the Cyrus clan ... fans have been suspecting things weren't great among the family ever since Miley didn't mention Billy in her acceptance speech at the Grammys earlier this month.
Likewise, Noah skipped Tish's wedding with Dominic ... so the Cyrus brood is fractured.
Tish gushed over Dominic in a recent podcast, saying they made out for hours on their first date and started saying "I Love You" the very next day ... and she noted she DM'd him in 2022 after first getting a message from him in 2016, which she didn't see at the time.
While Tish is head over heels, Noah is said to be "distraught" over Tish "stealing" Dominic away.
Whatever the case may be, Tish isn't ready to address the claims quite yet. We've reached to Tish and Noah for comment ... so far, no word back.

Tish Cyrus Aparece tras rumores... ¿Supuestamente le robó su marido a Noah?
Tish Cyrus fue vista en medio de las acusaciones que dicen que le robó su tercer marido Dominic Purcell a su hija Noah, con quien se encuentra distanciada.
La mamá de Miley Cyrus fue vista el miércoles en Beverly Hills, saliendo de un estacionamiento en su Toyota SUV después de comer en un restaurante y esquivar las preguntas de los paparazzi que estaban en el camino de salida.
También parece que el propio Dominic se había unido a ella, ya que fue capturado por la cámara en un carro diferente, mientras se estacionaba afuera del lote.
Tish está siendo acosada por los fotógrafos a raíz de un informe de esta semana que dice que Noah estaba involucrada románticamente con Dominic, y al parecer, antes de que Tish estuviera con él luego de su divorcio con Billy Ray Cyrus en 2022.
Aunque Tish y Dominic están felizmente casados ahora, este informe pone en duda la línea de tiempo de su relación, alegando que Noah Cyrus estaba saliendo con Dom, cuando su madre comenzó a perseguirlo. Supuestamente, Tish sabía que Noah estaba con él.
No está claro en qué momento estaban saliendo Dominic y Noah exactamente, si creemos esta versión, o cuando terminaron las cosas entre ellos y comenzó el romance con Tish. El informe sugiere que puede haber habido alguna coincidencia y teniendo en cuenta que Noah está distanciada de Tish, es seguro asumir que hay un poco de mala sangre y sentimientos fuertes sobre este supuesto triángulo amoroso.
Las afirmaciones también añaden otra capa al drama en el clan Cyrus: los fans han estado sospechando que las cosas no están bien en la familia desde que Miley no mencionó a su padre Billy en el discurso de aceptación de su Grammy a principios de este mes.
Del mismo modo, Noah se saltó la boda de Tish con Dominic, por lo que la familia Cyrus está fracturada.
Tish se deshizo en elogios sobre Dominic en un podcast reciente, diciendo que se besaron durante horas en su primera cita y se dijeron "te amo" al día siguiente. También señaló que le envió un mensaje directo en 2022, luego de recibir uno suyo en 2016, que no vio en su momento.
Mientras Tish está súper enamorada, se dice que Noah está "angustiada" con que Tish le haya "robado" a Dominic.
Cualquiera sea el caso, Tish no está lista para hacer frente a las acusaciones todavía. Nos contactamos con Tish y Noah para que hicieran comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.
BILL SKARSGÅRD LOS FANS CRITICAN EL PRIMER VISTAZO DE "THE CROW" Comparaciones con el Joker de Leto
Un primer vistazo a Bill Skarsgård en el remake de "The Crow" ha salido a la luz y los fans están enojados, criticando el arte corporal exagerado y comparándolo con el Joker de Jared Leto.
Reslulta que Bill es el protagonista de un remake del clásico gótico de culto de 1994 y las primeras imágenes de su personaje renovado "Crow" acaba de caer el miércoles a través de Vanity Fair. Hay un montón de fotos del set que tienen ... pero todo el mundo se centra en esta toma de dinero.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Por si no lo sabías, "El cuervo" sigue la historia de un hombre asesinado que vuelve a la vida para promulgar su venganza contra los hombres que lo mataron a él y a su prometida. Todo esto impregnado de una honda dark/noir. Toda la película es básicamente una película de venganza impregnada con fantasía gótica, y cuenta con un maquillaje y puesta en escena memorables.
En la película original, el personaje -interpretado por el hijo de Bruce Lee, Brandon- llevaba chaquetas de cuero negro y el maquillaje blanco de la cara le hacía parecer más un cadáver, pero en general su aspecto era bastante discreto, especialmente cuando se compara con la versión de Bill. Eso es lo que parece opinar Internet.
Mira las fotos, Bill lleva el cuero y el maquillaje blanco en la cara y el cuerpo, así como una serie de tatuajes indecorosos y un tanto caricaturescos, como un ojo gigante en medio del pecho y la palabra "Lullaby" escrita sobre la ceja derecha.
Todos estos tatuajes han hecho que los fans piensen en otro personaje extravagante... el Joker de Leto en "Escuadrón Suicida", que tenía literalmente escrito "Damaged" en la frente, para que el público no pasara por alto ese rasgo particular del personaje, suponemos.
El punto es que los fans están muy molestos, con algunos diciendo que este concepto del personaje escupe en la cara de la memoria de Brandon.
Por si n lo sabía, Brandon fue asesinado a tiros en el set de "El Cuervo" después de que una pistola de utilería le disparara un fragmento de bala sin limpiar de una escena anterior. Nadie fue acusado penalmente, pero su madre Linda Lee Caldwell demandó con éxito a los cineastas.
Los fans son bastante celosos del personaje de Lee y su legado y están bastante seguros de que el aspecto de Skarsgård solo va a dañar la memoria de Brandon y "The Crow".
Tendremos que ver cómo marchan las cosas, ya que la fecha de estreno de la película está fijada para junio, y parece poco probable que el estudio pueda arreglar el problema a tiempo.
Policía de Los Ángeles Golpea a un perro con su porra ... Tras atacar a un caballo de la policía
-
Detalles Exclusivos
- 21 shares
La policía de Los Ángeles tuvo un inesperado cara a cara con un perro que atacó a uno de sus caballos, lo que llevó a uno de los oficiales a golpearlo, provocando un feroz debate.
Echa un vistazo a este video que se ha vuelto viral: Dos policías son vistos a caballo patrullando Melrose Ave. en Los Ángeles, cuando de repente un perro suelto corre hacia ellos de la nada y comienza a morder las piernas del caballo de la policía.
En respuesta al ataque, el otro policía que estaba en la escena salta de su propio caballo y comienza a agitar su bastón contra el canino, y parece que hizo contacto un par de veces.
El perro intenta esquivar los golpes y continúa tras el caballo, quien empieza a inquietarse. Por supuesto, el oficial que está montado sobre el caballo hace todo lo posible para estabilizar al animal y tenerlo bajo control, pero es una situación difícil, por decir lo menos.
Finalmente, el presunto dueño del perro corre hacia la escena y recoge a su perro. Aunque también tiene dificultades para hacerlo y el oficial en el suelo consigue darle un último buen golpe antes de que él y su dueño huyan. En ese momento, todo se calmó.
Ahora tenemos un poco más de información que esperamos arroje luz y proporcione contexto, como por ejemplo si esto cayó en el radar de la policía de Los Ángeles o qué pasó exactamente al final. Fuentes policiales nos dicen que este incidente en realidad ocurrió hace un buen año o así, a pesar de que el video está siendo viral en este momento.
Nos dicen que el perro y los dos caballos terminaron bien y que los caballos fueron revisados por un veterinario después. Nuestras fuentes dicen que el perro saltó por la ventanilla de un carro a la calle y por eso no llevaba correa... algo raro.
Según nuestras fuentes, el civil/propietario no fue citado por este incidente y nos han dicho que todo se resolvió una vez que las partes involucradas pudieron hablar. También nos dicen que el propietario no estaba enojado.
Eso no quiere decir que Internet no esté enojado con el asunto porque una buena parte definitivamente lo está.
La situación ha provocado reacciones encontradas en la red, y muchos han salido en defensa del policía, sobre todo porque Los Ángeles tiene leyes muy claras sobre las correas. Por si no saben, los dueños de mascotas están obligados a mantener a sus perros con correa en público en todo momento, ya que está prohibido para ellos vagar libremente.
Otros, por supuesto, están crucificando al policía diciendo que reaccionó de forma completamente exagerada y que estaba dañando al perro sin una buena razón. Estos son en su mayoría los amantes de los animales y los activistas por los derechos de los animales.
Tuvimos un debate sobre esto en nuestra propia oficina e imaginamos qué argumentos podríamos presentarle a la gente para digerir el asunto. Por un lado, el perro estaba sin correa y causó un problema que podría haber llegado a ser más peligroso.
Aun así, la brutalidad del oficial se siente demasiado para quienes no soportan ver sufrir a los animales, incluyendo algunos en nuestro propio equipo, que son apasionados de esto.
Suponemos que vamos a plantear la pregunta, ¿quién está equivocado aquí, el policía o el propietario?
No le digan a PETA sobre esto, estamos seguros de que tendrán algo que decir al respecto, de una u otra manera.
Bill Skarsgård Fans Blast 'The Crow' First Look ... Point to Leto's Hokey Joker
A first look at Bill Skarsgård in the remake of "The Crow" is out ... and fans are pissed -- blasting the over-the-top body art, unkindly comparing him to Jared Leto's Joker.
Here's the deal ... Bill's the lead in a remake of the gothic cult classic hit movie from 1994 -- and the first pictures of his revamped "Crow" character just dropped Wednesday via Vanity Fair. There's a lot of set photos they have ... but everyone's focused on this money shot.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
FYI ... "The Crow" follows a murdered man who comes back to life to enact his revenge against the men who killed him and his fiancée -- which is it has this dark, noir-esque vibe. The whole film is basically a fantasy revenge flick ... with memorable makeup/costumes.
In the OG film, the eponymous character -- played by Bruce Lee's son Brandon -- wore black leather jackets and bodysuits, and white face makeup made him look more like a corpse, but overall his look was pretty understated ... especially when compared to Bill's version. That's how the internet seems to feel about it anyway!
Just check out the pics ... Bill's got the leather and white face/body makeup -- as well as a series of unseemly and sorta cartoonish tattoos ... including a giant eye in the middle of his chest and the word "Lullaby" written above his right eyebrow.
All of these tats have fans thinking about another outlandish character look ... namely, Leto's Joker in "Suicide Squad" who literally had "Damaged' written on his forehead -- just so the audience wouldn't miss that particular character trait, we guess.
Point is, fans are super upset ... with some even going as far as saying this concept of the character spits in the face of Brandon's memory.
If you don't know ... Brandon was actually shot and killed on "The Crow" set after a prop gun fired an uncleared bullet fragment from a previous scene at him. No one was criminally charged, but his mom Linda Lee Caldwell successfully sued filmmakers.
Safe to say ... fans are pretty protective of Lee's character and his legacy -- and they're pretty sure Skarsgård's look is only going to hurt the memory of Brandon and "The Crow" -- that's what some are saying about this.
We'll just have to see how it all comes out ... since the movie's release date is set for June, it seems unlikely the studio can fix the perceived issue now.

LAPD Swings Baton at Unleashed Dog ... After Police Horse Attack
-
Exclusive Details
- 651 shares
LAPD officers had an unexpected face-off with an unleashed dog that attacked one of their horses -- which ended with one of the officers beating the pooch ... and it's sparked a fierce debate.
Check out this video that's gone viral ... 2 cops are seen patrolling Melrose Ave. in L.A. while on horseback -- when, all of a sudden, an unleashed dog runs into frame out of nowhere and begins to nip at the legs of the police horse, which still has one of the officers on it.
In response to the attack ... the other cop on the scene jumps down from his own horse ... and begins swinging his baton at the canine -- and he seems to make contact a few times.
The dog tries to dodge the hits, and it continues to go after the horse -- which begins to buck and get uneasy. Of course, the officer who's sitting up there is trying his best to steady the animal and get it under control ... but it's a tricky situation, to say the least.
Eventually, the presumed owner of the dog runs onto the scene and collects his pooch -- but he too has trouble with it ... and the officer on the ground gets one last good swing on the dog before it and its owner run off. At that point, everything settles down.
Now, we have some more info here that'll hopefully shed light and provide context -- including whether this fell onto the LAPD's radar at large, and what exactly happened in the end. Law enforcement sources tell us this incident actually happened a good year or so ago ... even though the video is just now making the rounds online.
We're told the dog and the two horses ended up being alright, and that the horses were checked on by a vet afterward. Our sources tell us the dog actually jumped out of a car window there on the street, which is why it didn't have a leash on ... so kind of a freak thing.
Our sources the civilian/owner did not get cited over this, and we're told everything sorted itself out once all the parties were able to talk. We're also told the owner wasn't mad.
That's not to say the internet isn't pissed about this ... 'cause a good chunk definitely is.
The situation has prompted mixed reactions online -- with many coming to the cop's defense, especially since L.A. has pretty clear leash laws. If you don't know, pet owners are required to keep their dogs on a leash in public at all times -- as it's prohibited for them to roam free.
Others, of course, are crucifying the cop here ... saying he completely overreacted and was harming the dog for no good reason. These are mostly the animal lovers/animal rights camps.
We had some debate about this here in our own office ... and we figured we'd present our arguments for people to digest. On the one hand, the dog was unleashed and caused a problem right then and there that could've become more dangerous.
Still ... the brutality the officer inflicts here just feels like too much for folks who can't stand to see animals suffer -- including some in our own ranks, who are passionate about this.
We suppose we'll just pose the question ... who's in the wrong here, the cop or the owner?
Don't tell PETA about this ... we're sure they'll have something to say about it, one way or another.

La esposa de Kanye West, Bianca Censori, está en el ruedo nuevamente y con eso queremos decir que está de humor para andar desnuda, y esta vez haciendo una declaración de moda entre los franceses.
Bianca y Ye estuvieron en París el martes, donde se está realizando la semana de la moda, y Bianca definitivamente dejó todo al descubierto, al menos de la cintura para abajo, un poco diferente a la forma en la que normalmente anda cuando se desnuda todo para arriba.
No estamos bromeando. Bianca fue de bajo perfil, pero exponiéndose muchísimo a sí misma en este atuendo. Llevaba medias transparentes y, literalmente, nada para abajo, sin ningún tipo de ropa interior.
De hecho, Bianca va completamente desnuda y se puede ver todo.
A Kanye, por supuesto, no parece importarle. Más bien parece que le encanta tenerla arreglada y vestida. Sabemos que Ye ha hecho alarde de su cuerpo muchas veces.
Hemos visto algunos trajes salvajes de Bianca antes, incluyendo un impermeable transparente con nada debajo, pero por alguna razón ... este es más sorprendente.
Recuerden, solo la semana pasada vimos a Kanye y Bianca en Milán pavoneándose en otro evento de moda, por lo que ahora solo se están moviendo alrededor de Europa haciendo lo suyo y posando para las cámaras.
Kanye sigue promocionando su álbum en el extranjero, luego de encontrar dificultades para reservar locales en Estados Unidos. En Europa, parece que es un poco mejor recibido.
Por supuesto, Bianca ha estado al lado de Kanye todo este tiempo, leal y firme.
También ha andado muy, muy desnuda, pero eso es parte del menú ahora. Pareciera un libreto conocido y, sin embargo, sigue impactándonos y sorprendiéndonos.
Aquí está la "comida" favorita de Kanye en exhibición para que todos la vean.
