Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Halloween 'Stumes Selling Out ... Couple Getup's a Hot Ticket

Folks who wanna be Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce can play make-believe on Halloween -- and it's a lock that lots of people will do just that, much to the joy of one costume shop raking in the dough.

A rep for 3 Wishes, an online Halloween retailer, tells TMZ ... their Taylor and Travis-inspired getups this year are far and away the most popular costumes, as people snap 'em up in droves. So much so, they're completely sold out!

Customers have been able to double-dip a bit, up to this point -- 3 Wishes has had 2 different TS costume options ... a solo "Pop Star" one and a separate item that actually paired the pop star costume with a whole other football player outfit. Naturally, that's in the style of the Chiefs tight end ... right down to his jersey number.

Those were selling for $27.95 and $119.95, respectively, but now -- 3 Wishes says its inventory's been ransacked by fans wanting to resemble the new showbiz "it" couple. They had 500 of the solo TS costumes, and 300 of the duo costumes.

We're told the Taylor/Travis duo costume is their second-fastest-selling product in the company's history -- with their 'Tiger King' costume from 2020 still reigning supreme. 3 Wishes says they're out of stock right now, but will re-up on the 16th.

TLDR? You can still get your Trayvis fix from 3 Wishes if you can wait another few days -- but if you need something right now ... try one of their other best-sellers -- furry costumes!

KNXG Crooked Budden's Critique Valid ... I Feel Like Drake Dissed Me Too!!!

100923_kxng_crooked_kal
ALL HOT AIR
TMZ.com

Drake is framing Joe Budden as a failed rapper, but KNXG Crooked says that's a low blow -- not just for Joe, but for all MCs who go on to use their expertise for hip hop commentary.

TMZ Hip Hop chopped it up with Joe's former Slaughterhouse bandmate in the wake of the "For All The Dogs" feud. While they weren't on the best terms when Slaughterhouse broke up, Crooked's surprisingly on Joe's side as he feels Drake's disses cut him just as deep!

Crooked acknowledges JB as a pioneer in hip hop podcasting -- alongside the late Combat Jack and incarcerated Taxstone -- and says Joe was well within his rights to criticize Drake's "For All the Dogs" ... just as much as Drake had the right to respond.

DRAKE IS FOR THE CHILDREN

Drake told JB his stock pales in comparison because he owns a private jet compared to JB's "modest" house in New Jersey to shut him up, but Crook doesn't believe the beef is serious.

Crooked says Drake and Joe have a deep admiration for one another -- something he can attest to personally.

He harkened back on the days of Slaughterhouse touring, circa the top of the 2010s, and says Joe was actively listening to Drake on the tour buses. Crooked adds ... there's no need for Joe to dust off his MC mic going forward, as his podcast platform is mighty enough!!!

Crook's heart's still rhyming, however ... he and Joell just immortalized their local legends on the new single, "Tale of 2 Cities," from their upcoming album, "Prosper."

Asante Samuel Patriots Should Re-Sign Tom Brady ... He'd Win SB This Year!!!

100923-asante-samuel-kal
BRING HIM BACK
TMZSports.com

Asante Samuel says if Tom Brady came out of retirement and rejoined forces with the New England Patriots ... he'd almost certainly win his eighth Super Bowl this season.

"This terrible team that everybody sees is a terrible team," Samuel told TMZ Sports on Monday, Brady "can come right now, today, and win a Super Bowl for the New England Patriots. Because that's Tom Brady."

Samuel made the bold claim while discussing the state of the 2023 Patriots -- who, with a 38-0 loss to New Orleans on Sunday, are now just 1-4.

The former All-Pro said the bad losses are all further proof that Bill Belichick has largely been a failure when Brady is not under center for his teams. In fact, he said it's all showing that TB12 was the one most responsible for the Patriots' dynasties.

"I don't understand why is it such a big drop off when one man leaves the 53-man roster -- why is it such a big dropoff and you can't replace it but you're supposed to be a great coach?" Samuel said.

Samuel, who played for Belichick and alongside Brady from 2003 to 2007, added that he thinks Brady could solve all of this team's woes ... if he just simply showed up.

"I compare this team to the 2015 Super Bowl champions," Samuel said. "I see the same exact team -- it's only minus Tom Brady is the difference. And I can see Tom coming and leading this to the Super Bowl."

He continued, "My point in saying that is Belichick is a guy there that's not providing much for the team. And it's showing over and over and it's getting worse and worse."

Samuel also suggested Robert Kraft take a hard and long look at stripping some of the longtime coach's power going forward.

Guess Who This Bashful Baby Turned Into!

Before this little guy -- hangin' with his pops at the pool -- turned into an MTV personality who's always up for a challenge, he was just working on his summer glow and growing up during the 80's in Boston, Massachusetts.

Making his first television appearance on "The Real World Paris" ... this blue-eyed dude has definitely gotten into some fist fights in front of millions, and you can definitely pick up on his Boston accent, especially when he's getting rowdy and ready to go head-to-head!

Need one more clue? Johnny Bananas might be able to help you out!

Can you guess who he is?

SHANNON BEADOR Getting Treatment After DUI Arrest ... Still Doing Stand-Up

Shannon Beador is getting herself some treatment after her recent DUI bust ... but it's not preventing her from going on tour with her fellow 'Housewives of Orange County' castmates.

Sources close to Shannon tell TMZ ... she is taking responsibility and accountability for her arrest and is currently enrolled in an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component.

We're told Shannon still plans on participating in her upcoming 'Tres Amigas' comedy shows with Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson -- and although alcohol's been a big part of their act ... Shannon won't be drinking, and they're adjusting the show to focus more on their friendship.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was arrested last month over what cops say was a wild ride in her car that ended with her slamming into someone's Newport Beach home, damaging a concrete planter and nearly crashing through the front door.

Surveillance footage of Shannon's alleged drunken night shows her zipping through a residential area before crashing into the property.

Remember, cops on the scene say they found Shannon pretending to walk her dog before they booked her on 2 misdemeanors ... DUI alcohol plus hit-and-run.

Shannon's also offering to pay for the property damage ... and after looking into treatment options, she's found one she feels suits her needs.

'90 Day Fiancé' Leida Margaretha Arrested In Wisconsin ... Allegedly Used Her Job To Steal Thousands of $$$

Leida Margaretha, known from her time on "90 Day Fiancé," has been arrested ... after allegedly using her place of work to steal thousands of dollars.

According to cops in Portage, Wisconsin, they were notified last week by the owners of Loggerhead Deco -- a glass bottle decorating company -- that Margaretha made "fraudulent payments and withdraws to several outside business accounts and customers" using the company's account info.

Cops say some victims have reported several thousands of dollars missing from their accounts ... and Margaretha is now facing charges of Theft from a Business Setting, Forgery, and Wire Fraud Against a Financial Institution.

Police say she may be hit with additional charges as the investigation continues.

Fans of the show would have a hard time forgetting about Margaretha -- joining the cast in season 6, she moved from Indonesia to Wisconsin to live with her fiancé, Eric Rosenbrook.

She was a pretty demanding wife-to-be, often spewing stories that were larger than life ... and she even forced Eric to give his teenage daughter the boot from their home. Margaretha also obtained a restraining order against Eric's kid after the explosive argument.

Brody Jenner Breast Milk Latte with Fiancée Tia ... It's Udderly Delicious!!!

Brody Jenner
got milk?

Brody Jenner wouldn't settle for plain java when he ran out of his fave creamer -- instead, the guy opted for something sweet from his baby mama's breast ... a perfect replacement, for his taste!

The 'Hills' star raised eyebrows recently with a new video he and his pro surfer fiancée, Tia Blanco, uploaded, documenting their first month with their newborn, Honey, who's feeding on breast milk at the moment.

JUST A SIP...
TMZ.com

The reason that's relevant ... Brody filmed himself wondering if he could swap almond milk for boob juice, and then gave it a try alongside Tia -- who also indulged in a breast milk latte.

It sounds like BJ was quite impressed ... calling his special blend, "Delicious!" Tia, however, didn't think it was much of a game-changer -- saying it just tasted like a cup of Joe!

Either way, now dad knows how his baby daughter feels when she's filling up -- and BTW, breast milk is pretty freaking nutritious, obvi for infants, but Brody thinks it'll do his body good, too!!!

The soon-to-be-married couple welcomed Honey in July -- not long after they announced their engagement in June. Of course, with the news of their child came a very revealing video of their home birth.

HERE COMES HONEY!!!

A unique way to bring a life into the world ... and they're continuing that unconventional streak in their day-to-day lives. Drink up, we suppose!

Israel at War U.S. Citizen Stranded with Her 3 Kids ... Hamas Rocket Strikes Nix All Flights Home

ON OUR OWN
TMZ.com

Israel has U.S. citizens trapped within its borders, including a mother of 3 who is doing everything she can to keep her young children safe as the Hamas attacks continue.

Daniella joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" from Jerusalem, where she's been forced to stay put -- with her 9-year-old, 6-year-old, and 2-year-old.

She says she's one thousands of Americans who went to Israel to celebrate the Jewish holiday, Simchat Torah, but now airlines have canceled all flights out of the area as Hamas missiles continue to fly through the sky above them.

THOUSANDS ESCAPING

Daniella says her family is really on their own in Israel -- the U.S. Embassy is currently closed, and she's now frantically searching for other ways to get out of the country that don't involve taking a plane.

She also says she's repeatedly had to take her children into bomb shelters amid the attacks ... adding she's been struggling to explain to the little ones why their world has been turned upside down.

As you know, Israel was first subject to terrorist attacks from Hamas over the weekend, with at least 900 fatalities being reported -- since then, Israel has responded with waves of air strikes as well, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declaring his country is "at war."

Jamie Foxx Hits Up Halloween Horror Nights ... And So Do Other Stars!!!

Jamie Foxx was in the mood for some late-night scares this weekend -- hitting up Universal Studios' creepy theme park after hours ... finding both fans and monsters.

The actor swung by Halloween Horror Nights Sunday, posing for a cool pic while standing around a bunch of the costumed actors, who seemed more star-struck than they did frightful. That might have to do with Jamie's stance here ... full-on bad ass mode!

Indeed, JF set the tone ... and the HHN crew followed, it seems. That's pretty different than how most guests get treated when they enter the spooky grounds -- usually, folks get followed around and terrorized by the employees ... and celebs aren't exempt.

BTW, Jamie wasn't the only famous face who was enjoying the evening ... other stars like Ariana Madix of 'Vanderpump' fame were in attendance with some pals, as was former "Euphoria" star Barbie Ferreriera and the great Nicole Richie. They all seemed to get the VIP treatment.

We'll probably see a lot more A-listers drop in over the next few weeks -- Halloween Horror Nights is a fall time tradition here in SoCal ... and that goes for Hollywood's elite too.

Now, whether they all get an awesome photo-op like this, though, remains to be seen.

Here's hoping they got some real screams in during the mazes -- lord knows those aren't a walk in the park by any stretch, and they're certainly not for the faint of heart either. 😱

Israel Music Festival Shani Louk Smiling & Dancing ... Before Fatal Kidnapping

HOURS BEFORE TRAGEDY

As videos continue to come out showing the terror in the middle east, another has surfaced highlighting the innocent people who were killed ... living and enjoying their lives before evil swept in.

Young music festivalgoer Shani Louk danced with a big smile on her face around friends near the Gaza Strip over the weekend without a care in the world. Of course, Shani had no idea only minutes later terrorists would attack, kill, and kidnap hundreds at the festival.

Louk was tragically taken by Hamas terrorists and murdered -- her naked body was then paraded through the streets in the back of a pickup truck, displaying her multiple broken bones as onlookers spat on her dead body.

SEARCHING FOR DETAILS

Her mother, Ricarda, has spoken out online after Louk's horrifying death made the rounds online ... pleading for anyone with info to come forward -- adding she's already seen the brutal video of her daughter.

Ricarda says her daughter -- who is German but grew up in Israel -- went to the festival with a group of tourists.

Louk reportedly often challenged the military and refused to enroll in the mandatory service that Israelis are required to complete ... and her death is among the hundreds of others who have lost their lives since the attacks first sparked over the weekend.

Tom Brady I'm Still Jacked!!! ... Shows Off Shirtless Bod On Boat

Tom Brady ain't playing a lick of football this season, but he's clearly keeping himself in shape ... showing off his jacked bod once again while out in Florida last week.

The NFL's best ever was on his yacht near Indian Creek Island in Miami Beach ... and at one point while on the boat, he ditched his top to soak in some rays.

And, as you can see, the 46-year-old hasn't been skipping any workouts despite being officially retired.

Brady was also seen jet surfing on the water just before he got some R&R on the yacht ... and he seemed to be in great spirits there too -- a good indication he's more than at peace with his decision to never play football again.

The door, of course, is always open for a Brady comeback -- he did just win a Super Bowl in 2021 after all -- but retirement sure seems to look good on him these days!!

MASTER THESE TOOLS
TMZ.com

Arnold Schwarzenegger has accomplished a lot in his life -- and now, he wants to spread the wealth of knowledge he's gained over the years with anyone willing to listen ... and read.

We talked to the 'Terminator' Monday on "TMZ Live" about the release of his new book, "Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life," which hits bookshelves on Oct. 10. Arnold was kind enough to break down his thought process in this latest endeavor.

Check it out ... AS tells us this book was written to help people of all kinds, but especially for those who feel aimless and without purpose. For those folks, Arnold's got big-time tips.

For starters, he preaches a mantra that he's been living for years now -- namely, ya gotta have a vision for yourself and where you see your life headed. Of course, that includes setting goals, taking steps to achieve those and most importantly, putting in the work.

He tells us there'll always be haters and naysayers along the way who might try to deter you in whatever it is you're attempting to conquer -- and to them, Arnie says tune 'em out.

As he explains here, there were A LOT of people who told him he wouldn't succeed in showbiz ... but, as we all know, Arnold went on to become one of the biggest movie stars ever. The body builder-turned-actor-turned-politician says you gotta use what others consider a flaw to your advantage -- and to do that, it'll take a bit of creative thinking and ingenuity, plus major willpower.

Point is, anything's possible, and Arnold's here to guide people to that realization with his new book. Feel free to grab it now -- or listen to the audio book, which he recorded -- the guy's full of wisdom and inspiration!

Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper Back in the New York City Groove ... After Weekend Getaway

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper aren't shying away from their romance anymore -- photographed in the same car, arriving back in NYC after a weekend away.

The new couple -- who made headlines last week after being spotted out to dinner -- got back in NYC Sunday ... after an apparent weekend getaway.

Gigi and Brad are in the Mercedes G-Wagon, BC in the driver's seat, and Gigi riding passenger. He parks the car, and she gets a bunch of stuff out of his trunk -- including a few overnight bags and other gear. Bradley does the same shortly thereafter.

They seem to try and stagger their exits from the vehicle here ... but the secret's out now -- they're definitely rolling as a duo, and it most certainly looks like they're a thing now.

Mind you, when they were snapped last week ... they definitely were trying to be more low-key than this. Gigi was following Brad in the street, with her trailing him far behind.

As far as any previous connection between them ... we haven't found much. However, they're both A-listers in NYC -- so it's not outside the realm of possibility they might've known each other/mutual friends over the years. They're certainly acquainted at this point.

It's a very interesting pairing ... especially when you consider GH was recently linked to one Leonardo DiCaprio -- with whom she'd been spotted out all over town earlier this year.

Now, she appears to have moved on with another Hollywood stud ... who's much older than her. Bradley's 48, and Gigi's 28 -- but at least they share parenthood in common! Brad's got 6-year-old Lea with Irina Shayk ... and Gigi's got a 3-year-old with her ex, Zayn Malik.

Perhaps step-parenting is in Gigi and Brad's future ... have fun, you two!

Baltimore Orioles Field Invader Body Slammed By Guard ... Carried Out

A field invader at the Orioles game on Saturday was speared by a security guard, body slammed to the ground like a rag doll ... and then carried out by his arms and legs -- and the wild scene was all captured on video.

The man -- wearing nothing but tiny briefs with the words "Virginity Rocks" on them -- stormed the Camden Yards turf in the eighth inning of Baltimore's playoff opener against the Texas Rangers.

You can see in clips filmed by fans in the stands ... the man raced out onto the field for several seconds -- before a guard ended his run prematurely with a perfect form tackle.

Somehow, though, the man got up to his feet -- which forced security to hurl him right back to the grass like a WWE wrestler. Seconds later, another guard came in and helped carry the guy to a nearby police officer, who put handcuffs on the man.

He was later seen being escorted away from the field ... before play ultimately resumed.

Despite the excitement and the shot of adrenaline from the scene ... Baltimore ended up losing both of its games against the Rangers this weekend -- and will now head to Texas to try to even things up.

Hopefully, everyone's now learned to keep their clothes and their butts in their seats there.

Kevin Gates Spits Giant Loogie Down Fan's Throat ... She Happily Swallows!!!

100923_Kevin_gates-Kal
SPIT UP

Kevin Gates recently told us to expect explosiveness on his tour ... and hocking a loogie down a fan's throat totally falls under that category!!!

KG kicked off his "Only the Generals" tour over the weekend in Portsmouth, VA, where he invited a fan onstage, and she quickly gave verbal permission for him to "do whatever you want."

He then escorted the fan to her folding chair throne, and instructed her to stick out her tongue ... and then proceeded to drop a spit missile down her throat, immediately drawing moans and groans from the crowd!!!

The fan didn't seem to mind ... probably could've used a bib though.

KG said he got into tour shape through the basketball tutelage of Kevin Durant and other hoopers ... but we're not sure KD taught him how to swish with spit.

The tour still has plenty of dates going until the end of the year ... all spit swallowers to the front of the stage.

JOE JONAS, SOPHIE TURNER Child Custody Arrangement?!? He Drops Off Kids With Her

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner appear to be making progress in their bitter child custody dispute ... because it looks like they've come to an agreement on a time-share with the kids.

The Jonas Brothers member spent Monday morning with his two daughters at a park in New York City before dropping them off with his estranged wife.

As you can see, Joe was all smiles as he left Taylor Swift's place ... that's where Sophie is staying while she's in the Big Apple.

The handoff makes it seem like Joe and Sophie hammered out an agreement on child custody ... as we first reported, the former couple is deep in mediation to settle their nasty divorce.

Joe and Sophie have been spending a lot of time this month trying to reach a divorce settlement ... remember, they have a prenup and one of the provisions is that they go to mediation to settle all outstanding issues related to their divorce.

As we reported ... we've been told they are both cool with joint custody, provided they can agree on a structure, and this makes it look like they've done just that.

Stay tuned ...
