STEPPIN' OUT THE GALLERY
BACKGRID

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are here to remind everyone the female body is a work of art -- yes, her boobs have been on display a lot lately, but now they've achieved museum status in Germany.

Ye and the missus are continuing their European getaway in Berlin after causing a stir all over Italy ... and they're still refusing to cover up.

Bianca is once again going out in public with her nipples showing through a skin-tight body stocking. Standards are different over here, hence the blurred-out nipples. Sorry. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Meanwhile, Kanye's back in black ... walking around in socks at Julia Stoschek's video exhibition at Berlin Art Week. He actually took off his head covering at one point, presumably to admire the art -- namely, Bianca! Oh, and the stuff displayed on walls, too.

Remember ... Kanye and Bianca's fashion choices got them banned from a water taxi company in Venice, with some Italians even calling for the couple to be arrested for their antics.

But, so far, it seems like they're getting a warmer reception in Germany. Go figure.

Stripper to Cop Tase Me, I Like It Kinky!!! Cringe Video From Arrest

091523_cop_stripper_kal
DRUNK & DESPERATE

Attempting to seduce a cop is one thing, but a stripper who getting busted for an alleged hit-and-run takes it to the next level -- offering to pee on the officer, and telling him to Tase her because she "likes it kinky."

Police body camera footage from the exotic dancer's Ohio arrest shows her desperate attempts to flirt with the officer ... calling him "handsome" and daring him to search her.

But, the cop doesn't fall for it, and puts her in the back of his squad car. Apparently undaunted, the woman keeps laying it on thick, telling him ... "I'll piss in your face, only if you like it, though."

Back at the station, she welcomes the use of force, declaring ... "You wanna Tase me? Do it! I like it. I like it kinky."

She proudly told cops she's a stripper, and that she'd downed lots of tequila before driving, but when more officers show up to take her to a hospital ... she starts melting down.

As the officers try getting her into a patrol car, she struggles and screams out ... "You’re going to rape me! Stop trying to rape me!"

Prosecutors reportedly ended up charging her with operating a vehicle under the influence, assaulting a police officer, obstruction of official business and speeding.

Her bond was set at $10,000. That's a lotta lap dances.

Joe Manganiello Casually Dating New Actress Boo ... After Divorce from Sofia

Joe Manganiello has a new bae -- a casual one, but still ... we're told he and actress Caitlin O'Connor have been getting to know each other on the heels of his divorce from Sofia Vergara.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Joe and Caitlin aren't official, but they're casually dating after meeting last month at the screening party for the second season of the HBO show, "Winning Time," in which Caitlin plays a young Dyan Cannon.

Joe and Caitlin even jumped in the jacuzzi together at the bash, albeit with other folks taking a dip too -- no solo swims here.

The party went down at the home of the show's executive producer, Jim Hecht ... and his wife, reporter Courtney Friel, shared the group snap.

Joe and Caitlin were spotted leaving Gold's Gym in Venice together Wednesday, so they obviously get along well enough to get their pump on as a duo.

We're told Joe and Caitlin bonded over the fact they're both from the greater Pittsburgh area -- he's from Mt. Lebanon and she's from Uniontown, and it all kinda snowballed from there.

As you know, Joe's new fling comes after he filed for divorce from Sofia in July, saying they've been growing apart.

While he cited the standard "irreconcilable differences" in the docs, we were told a big reason for the split was because he wanted kids and she didn't.

Drew Barrymore Gives Tearful Sorry to Striking Writers ... Not Canceling Her Show

UPDATE

6:26 AM PT -- 9/18 -- Drew changed her mind, she will not go forward with her show, writing, "I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over. I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon."

Drew Barrymore is offering up an emotional apology to the thousands of writers who are striking while her show returns ... but she is NOT shutting down the show.

The talk show host gave a lengthy apology on social media Friday, tearing up while taking full responsibility for the heat she's been facing since saying over the weekend her show will resume production.

She says she doesn't think there's anything she can do to make it right, and admits she didn't want to hide behind others for the decision to return. Drew claims she wasn't expecting folks to be as up in arms as they are, but wants to make it clear that she won't be breaking any rules with the show.

It's interesting, Drew isn't yanking her production but instead is explaining why she decided to move forward ... citing reasons like the ones Bill Maher had for taking "Real Time" back to the studio.

As we reported, Drew has been labeled a scab after saying on Sunday she's resuming her show, claiming she wants to "provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience."

BTW, the comments on her apology are filled with more disdain... with many saying the right thing she could've done was cancel production.

Terrence 'Punch' Henderson MTV Snubs SZA, They Get a No-Show ... That's How This Works!!!

SZA's runaway success following her "SOS" album last year wasn't enough for the MTV VMAs committee to nominate her for Artist of the Year ... a move Top Dawg Entertainment deemed disrespectful enough to yank her from the show.

Terrence 'Punch' Henderson told THR on Friday, he repeatedly attempted to get clarity as to why her album's 10-week run at No. 1 didn't earn her even a nomination alongside Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Shakira, Karol G and Taylor Swift.

SZA was nominated for other awards, and was scheduled to perform, but as Punch put it ... "Why go perform and do this if she’s not going to be respected to the highest level?"

He says that's why he effectively terminated all things VMAs for SZA this year. As far as who's really beefing ... Punch says it's all him, not SZA, harboring the animosity. He says it's not in SZA's character to hold this kinda grudge.

MTV is boasting its highest-ever VMA impressions on social media, evidence they did something right with the viewing audience -- but it wasn't good enough to get SZA onstage that night.

We reached out to MTV for further explanation ... so far, radio silence.

Jeezy Files For Divorce From Jeannie Mai

Jeezy is pulling the plug on his marriage to Jeannie Mai -- the Atlanta rapper filed Thursday to divorce the talk show host in Fulton County Superior Court.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jeezy filed in Georgia on Thursday … saying their marriage is "irretrievably broken," with "no hope for reconciliation."

Jeezy’s seeking joint legal and physical custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Monaco, and he says they have an existing prenup in place.

The news could've very well been news to Jeannie ... she recently celebrated her soon-to-be ex's book and his accomplishments on a heartfelt IG post just a week ago.

Their union was a relatively short-lived affair ... the pair got hitched in March 2021 at their Atlanta home in the heart of the pandemic.

We reached out to both Jeezy and Jeannie but haven't heard back ... yet.

Aaron Rodgers I Could Be Back For Playoffs ... 'Anything Is Possible'

ROAD TO RECOVERY
ESPN

Aaron Rodgers says tearing his Achilles on Monday Night Football was one of the worst experiences of his life ... but the New York Jets superstar is adamant he will recover from it -- and he's not ruling out a return THIS YEAR.

Fresh off going under the knife to repair his tendon, the four-time MVP joined the "Pat McAfee Show" Friday to break down his immediate reaction, recovery and his plans moving forward.

Rodgers said he dealt with "a lot of sadness, a lot of tears, a lot of dark frustration and anger" shortly after going down with the injury ... but he's been receiving a ton of love from his close friends and supporters.

"A lot of the sadness, I think initially, was just feeling like I let so many people down who believed in me, supported me, and made that transition so incredible," he said minutes ago.

Rodgers admitted he could quickly tell it was a serious situation ... but makes it clear he can overcome the ailment and get back to 100%.

"Give me the doubts," Rodgers said. "Give me the timetables. Give me all the things that you think can, should, or will happen because all I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That's all I need."

"So, give me your timetable, give me your doubt, give me your prognostication and watch what I do."

Rodgers explained he isn't going to curb his expectations or place limits on his recovery ... so when asked whether he could be back in time for the playoffs, he left the door wide open.

"I think as Kevin Garnett said, 'Anything's possible.'"

Rodgers certainly has faith in backup Zach Wilson's chances at having the Jets in position for a playoff run ... and he said he will be pulling for his teammate.

Hugh Jackman Separating From Wife Deborra-lee ... After 27 Years Together

Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, are calling it quits ... and it's an amicable decision that's putting an end to 27 years of marriage.

TMZ confirmed their breakup and in a statement given to People Friday, they said that they've been "blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage."

Hugh and Deborra-lee say their journey is now "shifting," and that they've decided to "separate to pursue our individual growth." They go on to mention their family always will be a top priority, and they're moving on with "gratitude, love, and kindness."

The 2 met back in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV show, "Corelli," tying the knot less than a year after that. They share 2 kids together -- 23-year-old Oscar and 18-year-old Ava.

Hugh posted about Deborra-lee back in April on their 27-year anniversary ... saying her "laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage and loyalty is an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart."

Princess Diana Sheep Sweater Sells For $1.1M ... Makes History at Auction!!!

Princess Diana's wardrobe remains in high demand -- her famous sheep sweater just sold to the highest bidder for over $1.1 million, making it the world's most expensive sweater.

An all-out bidding war erupted for the famed red and white sweater at Sotheby's Fashion Icon auction -- a 15-minute battle ended Thursday with 44 bids, jacking the price up from $190,000 to $1,143,000.

Princess Diana famously wore the sweater for the first time way back in 1981 ... helping the designers behind the garment, British brand Warm & Wonderful, explode in popularity after she was pictured wearing it on the front page of a newspaper.

The sheep sweater sat dormant in the brand's archives for decades until this March, when co-founder Joanna Osborne rediscovered it while searching for a different pattern ... and ultimately decided to auction it off.

The winning bidder walks away with Diana's sheep sweater and two letters from Buckingham Palace sent to Osborne in 1981 from the Princess' press secretary.

The $1.143 million sale price nearly doubles the previous record for the most expensive Princess Diana garment ever sold ... a velvet ballgown she wore for a royal portrait, which sold earlier this year for $604,800.

Sophie Turner Smoochin' for the Cameras ... Still Filming in Spain Amid Divorce

GETTING CLOSE ON SET
SplashNews.com

Sophie Turner was lockin' lips with her costar, but it's not a new fling ... it's just another day at the office for her while the divorce from Joe Jonas moves forward.

The actress was spotted kissing "Fear the Walking Dead" actor Frank Dillane on a beach in Spain this week, while production continues on her British TV series, "Joan."

Frank is playing her husband on the project, and Sophie's portraying the lead character, Joan Hannington ... an infamous jewel thief who wreaked havoc in London back in the 1980s.

As we reported, Sophie popped up on set this week ... the first time she's been seen since the divorce news. She was taking a smoke break while filming another scene.

Joe filed divorce docs last week, asking for joint custody of their 2 young daughters.

Sources told us the breakup comes, in part, as a result of their different lifestyles -- and we were told Joe saw something on a Ring camera that made him realize it was over.

Based on the scene going down on the beach, we doubt Joe will be tuning in to see "Joan."

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Home In Pre-Foreclosure Again As Kroy Sells Stuff for $$$

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's efforts to dig outta their deep financial hole, amid their divorce, aren't going that well -- their Georgia home is teetering on foreclosure once again, TMZ has learned.

According to online records, their Alpharetta mansion is in pre-foreclosure again, with the pending sale date listed as November 7. It isn't technically in foreclosure yet, but it certainly appears to be heading in that direction -- indicating they've missed some mortgage payments.

As we reported, Kroy filed docs last month, asking for an emergency hearing to authorize selling their $3 million house, saying their financial woes were getting worse and the sale could cover their "significant debt."

Kroy claimed they were struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments, having to sell off his backpacks and other personal belongings to make enough cash to cover what was owed.

He says he asked Kim to sell her purses for contribution, but she refused.

Kroy claims Kim sold some bags, wigs, and other high-end items ... but added, "None of the funds garnered from the sale of these items have gone towards the mortgage, or any other bills."

Kroy claimed they weren't able to make their mortgage payment in July, presenting the prospect of foreclosure ... which is why he's pushing to unload the property.

Regarding Kroy's push to sell the house, his attorney, Maryls A. Bergstrom, tells TMZ ... "We are going to court on September 27th to request that the court order the home sold."

Don't forget, their family home faced foreclosure back in February, with the estate set to be auctioned off the following month ... but they were able to stop the sale and keep the spot through their payments.

It's not just the house that's been going back and forth -- you'll recall, the 2 were getting divorced in May, but called it off in July ... only for Kroy to file for divorce again last month.

CAUGHT BLOWIN' SMOKE
9News

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert's vaping denial just went up in smoke, because new video certainly looks like she was taking a hit.

As we reported, Boebert was booted from the "Beetlejuice" musical in Denver Sunday night after she was singing along and allegedly vaping. Boebert denied she was taking hits from a vape pen, but the video seems to show otherwise.

You see her holding an electronic cigarette and placing it on her lips, then blowing smoke.

A pregnant woman behind her wasn't having it and it looks like she made her displeasure clear to the congresswoman. The woman claims Boebert shot back she was a "sad and miserable person."

The video also shows the man she was with -- a Democrat who owns a bar in Aspen -- appearing to cup and fondle her right breast.

BOEBERT BOOTED

Boebert was eventually told to leave, and she flipped off the theater staff during her exit, but not before allegedly telling ushers, "Do you know who I am? I am on the board. I will be contacting the mayor."

Would you be annoyed if you were in an audience and someone in front of you was vaping, like Lauren Boebert was caught doing last weekend? Vote below.

Offset has the perfect way to promote his new album, or at least that's how Cardi B feels about him live streaming for a full day ... because she says it's super easy to keep tabs on him!

Offset was in the middle of his 24-hour run online with YouTuber Kai Cenat Thursday night when Cardi decided to dial up her hubby and have a chat. When Offset put the call on speaker, she quickly chimed in, "You need to be streaming every single day for 24 hours, so I can know everything you're doing!"

Offset, Kai and a few other fellas in the room laughed it off, but, let's keep it real ... she meant that s**t!

BATHROOM BANGIN'

They've had their issues in the past -- cheating accusations and Cardi briefly filing for divorce in 2020 -- but lately they can't keep their hands off each other. Earlier this week, they even faked a sex tape while backstage at the MTV VMAs. Good stuff!

Fun moment, and perhaps the start of a new couple???

Hunter Biden Pizza Party With Son Beau ... Day Before Federal Indictment

Hunter Biden certainly didn't seem anxious before being indicted, because the day before he was chillin' with his 3-year-old boy Beau Jr., grabbing some grub in Malibu.

President Joe Biden's son was trying to keep a low profile as he attended Wednesday's grand opening celebration of Prince Street Pizza and Irv's Burgers in the Bu.

Check out the photos, obtained by TMZ, Hunter's wearing dark shades and a baseball cap pulled down low.

In one image, Hunter is carrying his kid, Beau, named after his late brother, and the two seem tight. In the other pic, Hunter's getting ready to scarf down a pizza slice as little Beau stands next to him.

We're told the pair had fun together, hanging out for 30 minutes before splitting, with two Secret Service agents shadowing them. Melissa Cohen, Hunter's wife and Beau's mom, also enjoyed the outing, so much so she reportedly stayed behind to have more fun.

The next day, Hunter was indicted on 3 federal criminal charges related to his 2018 purchase of a revolver from a Delaware gun shop.

Hunter allegedly lied on a federal form, violating the law by saying he wasn't using illegal drugs, despite being addicted to crack.

He faces one count of False Statement in Purchase of a Firearm, one count of False Statement Related to Information Required to be Kept By Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer, and one count of Possession of a Firearm by a Person who is an Unlawful User of or Addicted to a Controlled Substance. He could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

FEELIN' THE LOVE

We're told the 'Love' album was playing to get the party started, and once the shots from Diddy's DeLeon Tequila began to flow ... they launched into an impromptu karaoke session.

Keyshia Cole led the sing-along to her classic "Love" track and Diddy commanded The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Warning" for the crowd.

Fans have been rallying around the R&B compilation, and its lead-off music vid also dropped on Friday ... "Another One of Me" featuring French, 21 Savage and The Weeknd in his final appearance with that stage name.

Love is in the air ... and the DSPs.

Las Vegas Cyberattack MGM Resorts Still Reeling ... As Weekend Warriors Arrive

All the MGM Resorts hotels are still feelin' the heat from a massive hacking ... a major nightmare as weekend visitors start to hit the Las Vegas Strip.

The cyberattack went down at the beginning of this week, blocking some guests from getting into their rooms ... and spiraled into casino issues with slot machines, downed phone lines and shutting down hotel check-ins.

091523-aria-resort-casino-kal
WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS??
Newsflare

As bad as that was, at least it was mid-week -- a much less busy time in Vegas, but now as the weekend begins ... folks staying at MGM properties like the Aria can expect long check-in lines as the weekend warrior crowds arrive.

MGM has said it's identified a "cybersecurity issue" affecting the company's systems and is working with "leading external cybersecurity experts" to get the issue taken care of, but the issues persist.

Hacker groups like The Scattered Spider and ALPHV have claimed responsibility for the issues, but MGM has yet to confirm ... but experts say the problems the resorts are facing have all the markings of a cyberattack.

In the midst of the MGM chaos, Caesars Entertainment revealed it was hit with a similar attack not long before this one, which compromised player info. The company reportedly paid alleged hackers a $15 million ransom just days before MGM's issues started.

So, how bad is it in Sin City? Some visitors say they've gone back to their hotel room to find other people inside.

On the casino floor, slot machines that aren't broken down often aren't printing out tickets when players want to walk away. Instead, casino employees are paying them out by hand with cash!

Best of luck to those looking to win big at the slots this weekend, or just getting into your hotel room without finding a stranger in your bed. Unless you're into that.
