Bill Burr Wife Nia Seems to Flip Off Trump ... At UFC 295 Event

Bill Burr's wife doesn't seem to be a fan of Donald Trump's -- that is, assuming this middle finger she fired off was for him ... and it very well may have been.

Nia Hill accompanied her comedian husband to the UFC 295 event Saturday night at NYC's Madison Square Garden -- and during one of DT's on-camera moments on the jumbotron ... she flipped the bird, which many have taken to be directly targeted for Trump.

Frankly, it's hard to tell if this F-U was, in fact, intended for The Donald or not. It looks like Trump is in the same aisle as them, but slightly angled ahead of them as they're seated.

Nia throws up two single-finger salutes right at the UFC team pans to them ... but it seems like she's perhaps doing it straight to the camera itself, as opposed to DT who's to her right. Whatever her intention was, right-wing Twitter certainly took it as an insult to the ex-Prez.

As a result, he's getting a ton of hate from conservatives ... 'cause they see his wife's would-be gesture toward Trump as a reflection of his own politics -- even though he holds that pretty close to the vest.

Burr occupies this nebulous comedy space ... at times, he comes out swinging against "wokeness" but also rails on right-wingers just as much. Dude's an enigma, for sure -- and more importantly, there aren't many interviews he's done where he straight-up craps on DT.

Now, he's in the crosshairs of MAGA loyalists ... who are still very much with 45. The UFC crowd also appeared to welcome his presence ... as he rolled in with Dana White, Tucker Carlson and Kid Rock.

Trump goes to a lot of the UFC fights post-presidency, so if you're anti-Trump ... be prepared to see him now and again at some of these. The guy likes to show up and show out.

Barry Manilow I Didn't Come Out 'Til 2017 ... 'Cause I Just Didn't Care To

111223_barry_manilow_kal
come out for who?
Max

Barry Manilow came out as gay a few years ago -- a decision he pinned on fans at the time ... but now, he says he just didn't think it was a big deal to announce it to the world.

The singer got into this topic yet again this weekend with Chris Wallace on his Max show ... where the former Fox News anchor asked why'd he taken so long to confirm he was a gay man, despite having been in a relationship with his manger, Garry Kief, for years.

Before answering Chris' million-dollar question -- which he actually addressed head-on back in 2017, when he officially came out -- BM explained he'd actually been married to a woman years ago ... even though he says he knew he was attracted to men from a very young age.

Now, in terms of why he came out when he did ... Barry's answer in this sit-down differs from what he first said 6 years ago -- at the time, he said he worried he'd turn off his fans.

While talking to Chris, however ... he suggests he simply didn't give a rip -- saying the idea of "coming out" in some grand, public way never even crossed his mind ... as he was content with his life. That changed, though, when he actually married Garry in 2014.

As soon as word got out, the headlines started flying ... and Barry eventually came clean, which got a lot of support. With that said, he's got kind words for his husband here.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Step Out Separately Again in L.A. ... Amid Flacko's Criminal Case

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FEELIN' GOOD, FEELIN' GREAT
BACKGRID

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

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

They're usually putting on a united front for everyone, but at the moment ... there appears to be some distance, at least on the face of things. Here's hoping everything's alright. 🤞

Travis Kelce Adios, Argentina ... Dips After Kissing T-Swift at Concert

update

12:17 PM PT -- And just like that ... Travis Kelce is outta here.

The Chiefs tight end boarded a private jet Sunday to fly out of Argentina and presumably head back to the States. His team doesn't have a game until the 20th, but he's probably expected at practice and team meetings in the coming days.

No sign of Taylor here to send him off ... but ya gotta imagine they had a great night together after a huge PDA moment the day prior. Dude's got a pep in his step, for sure.

111123_taylor_swift_kiss_kal 11/11/23
LOVERS

Don't cry for Taylor Swift in Argentina ... she had an amazing show Saturday night, after which she passionately made out with her man.

We've seen Travis Kelce and Taylor hold hands, wrap their arms around each other, etc, but this is the first big PDA moment. She races to Travis as she leaves the stage and they embrace and make out in a "get-a-room" type way!

As for why there seemed to be electric passion between the 2 ... well, Taylor changed the lyrics to "Karma" ... the OG version -- "Karma is the guy on the screen/Coming straight home to me." The updated version -- "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/Coming straight home to me."

111123_taylor_swift_lyric_change_kal_v2 11/11/23
"THE GUY ON THE CHIEFS"

Travis is stoked when he hears the lyrics ... you see it in his face and he begins vibing to the song.

111123_taylor_swift_travis_hype_kal
PUMPING UP THE CROWD

Taylor doesn't need it, but Travis sorta served as her hype man during the show ... getting the frenzied crowd into an even more intense frenzy.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

BTW ... Taylor's dad was at the show and gave his stamp of approval to the relationship by wearing a Chiefs' lanyard. It's a big deal 'cause he's an Eagles fan.

This is the first show Travis has attended since their relationship went public, although we knew for weeks before it was the real deal.

T&T have been making the rounds in Argentina the last few days ... they were holding hands Friday during a romantic dinner at the swanky Four Seasons in Buenos Aires.

Travis doesn't have a game this weekend so he was clear to fly to his girl. Long-distance relationships are tough, but private jets and other perks make it a lot easier for sure, so good luck you two!

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Anniversary Dinner Amid Divorce ... Hit Pause on Life Drama

111223_kim_kroy_dinner_kal_v2 11/11/23
here's to 12 years!!!

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann had a good weekend -- they were chowing down and looking awfully cozy during their 12-year anniversary ... even though they're getting divorced.

The ex-'RHOA' star was documenting all the festivities on IG, including a pit stop to one of Morgan Wallen's shows in Atlanta ... and a one-on-one dinner she shared with her estranged hubby at an Italian joint in nearby Smyrna, GA -- which was romantic as hell.

Take a look for yourself ... they had a mini buffet of food in front of them, and a fair amount of drinks too, which they partook in with the restaurant staff -- all of which KZ filmed.

She made no mention of their personal problems here -- relationship, financial or otherwise -- and instead commented on how good the grub was. She also didn't acknowledge Kroy's presence explicitly ... but the dude was definitely enjoying himself/the moment.

If a picture's worth a thousand words ... there are a lot of telling frames in these clips -- at first glance, it would appear they're on good terms at the moment ... despite a tumultuous past few months as they navigate their divorce and money problems, which are linked.

SOMETHING WORTH CELEBRATING
TMZ.com

Like we said, they were celebrating the anniversary of their wedding date back in 2011. And even though they seem to be heading toward Splitsville ... they felt it was worth honoring.

No word on whether this means they're making up (again), but it's nice to see 'em happy.

76ers Star Kelly Oubre Jr. Struck by Car in Philly Hit & Run ... Hospitalized, Broken Bones

Kelly Oubre Jr. is in the hospital and on the mend after getting struck by a car in a hit-and-run in the city he plays for -- and while it sounds like he'll recover ... he's banged up.

According to the Philadelphia 76ers -- on which Oubre is a starter -- their 27-year-old star player fell victim to a reckless driver Saturday night in the Center City neighborhood of Philly ... where Oubre was out and about, it seems, during a night off in the team's schedule.

The details of what exactly happened are a little murky at the moment ... but it sounds like he got hit at the corner of Broad and Locust Street, with the vehicle in question fleeing the scene without a trace. As a result of the hit, Oubre is said to have sustained some injuries.

Shams Charania reports the SF/G is dealing with broken ribs, bruises and other abrasions ... and he's currently hospitalized. Team personnel, including Prez Daryl Morey, showed up last night to visit him ... obviously, he's going to be out for a while.

Cops are investigating the hit-and-run ... so far, no suspects or persons of interest have been ID'd. Shortly before the incident, Oubre was photographed posing with a young fan.

Samuel Haskell Jr. Seen Dumping Apparent Body ... In New Surveillance Vid

THE SMOKING GUN?
TMZ.com

Samuel Haskell Jr. was caught on camera dumping what very well may have been the torso of a body police found in Encino, CA Wednesday ... and TMZ has the video, which aligns almost perfectly with video of Haskell with identical bags at his home.

We've obtained new footage which shows Haskell pulling into a parking lot in Encino late Tuesday afternoon in his white Tesla, casually parking by a dumpster and opening up the back to grab what appears to be a large, heavy garbage bag. Haskell struggles as he places it on his shoulder, and then hurls it into the trash bin.

DIFFERENT ANGLE
TMZ.com

We obtained two clips -- one from a slightly closer angle, and another capturing the scene from a little further away.

This is the same location, and apparently the same garbage bin where a homeless person found a dismembered human torso in a strip mall parking lot early Wednesday.

Cops swarmed the area and quickly arrested Haskell for murder. His wife, Mei, and her parents are all missing. It's unclear whose torso it was ... but we know it was a woman's.

Now here's how the dots all connect. TMZ posted video earlier today showing Haskell at his home Tuesday afternoon as some day laborers drive up and then help Haskell carry big garbage bags -- seemingly identical to the one he later tossed -- into a nearby truck.

GRUESOME SCENE
ABC 7

One of the workers told NBC4 LA ... Haskell told them there were rocks in the 3 bags, but they were suspicious because the contents were soft and squishy. They left, but drove just a block and decided to open a bag, where they found body parts, including a belly button.

The workers returned to Haskell's house a few minutes after they left, returned the bags and placed them on his driveway, and returned payment. They then went to cops.

HASKELL WITH WORKERS AND BAGS
TMZ.com

Now this is critical -- Haskell then left his home in his Tesla around 4:22 PM, and at 4:45 PM (when this new footage starts) ... you see him pulling in and dropping a large trash bag in the bin. That bin is 6 miles from Haskell's house, so the time matches up.

No word on where the other bags might've gone.

HAULING TWO BAGS

Haskell is the son of a former powerful Hollywood agent, Samuel Haskell Sr. ... who used to rep the likes of Dolly Parton and a slew of other A-listers before retiring from WME in '05.

He continues to work with Dolly on TV specials of hers, but hasn't commented on his son's arrest just yet. Haskell Jr. remains in police custody on $2 million bail.

Baby2Baby Gala Kim, Hailey, Other Big Celebs Hit Up Charity Event

Kim Kardashian is a busy woman these days, but she made time Saturday night for some good charity work.

Kim and tons of other celebs showed up at the Baby2Baby Gala in L.A. ... it's a charity that provides baby clothes and diapers for underprivileged kids.

The guest list was insane ... Hailey Bieber, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum, Julie Bowen, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie, Sofia Richie, Steph Curry's wife Ayesha, Alessandra Ambrosio, Molly Sims, Camila Alves, Jonathan Scott, Zooey Deschanel, Drew Scott, Jenna Dewan, Sarah Hyland, Zoe Saldaña, Vanessa Bryant, Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Colton Underwood, Lucy Hale ... is that enough?

There's a big award presented during the soiree ... the Giving Tree Award for someone who embraced and acted on the values of the org. Salma Hayek received it during the ceremony. Last year Kim got the award and the year before Vanessa Bryant.

Timothee Chalamet Celebrates 'SNL' Hosting Gig at After-Party GF Kylie By His Side

Timothée Chalamet took on hosting duties on 'SNL' Saturday night, and GF Kylie Jenner was front and center supporting him.

Kylie was at the show and the after-party at STK in NYC.

Other stars who showed up ... Dakota Johnson, Phoebe Bridgers, Sophie Turner, Bo Burnham, Jon Hamm, Anna Osceola and others.

Timothee's monologue was pretty funny ... celebrating the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike and the ability to hawk his wares to the public.

And then a pretty hilarious rap song about people -- yeah, TC, you -- who have baby faces. Timothee has some chops, and got assists from Marcello Hernández, Keenan Thompson, and Punkie Johnson channeling her inner Nicki Minaj.

This is Timothée's second run as host of "SNL," and he did a sequel to his 2020 skit with Pete Davidson, playing "$mokeCheddaDaAssGetta" as he celebrates 50 years of hip hop.

The party went down at an event space in Bev Hills and the guest list is exhausting to type ... Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Salma Hayek, Snoop Dogg, Irmelin Indenbirken, Soleil Moon Frye, Scott Eastwood, Casey Affleck and Caylee Cowan, Kate Beckinsale, Zoe Saldaña and Marco Perego, Jordan Masterson, Luka Sabbat, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Rita Ora and Taika Waititi, Beck, Chris Rock, Corey Gamble, Emile Hirsch and Lukas Haas.

Kate was a glittery standout with ginormous diamonds caressing her waist.

Besides the glimpse we got inside, the ever-elusive Leo evaded paparazzi in a pretty spectacular way -- given it was his party!

We also don't know if his current GF, Vittoria Ceretti was there, but it's a good bet since we didn't see either of the 2 they came together.

BTW ... Salma had a busy night ... she arrived after attending the Baby2Baby Gala -- a charity for underprivileged kids -- where she received the Giving Tree Award.

'Black Panther' Stuntman Trick or Treating w/ Family ... Before Fatal Crash

The "Black Panther" stuntman who was killed in a car crash last week had just wrapped up a night of Halloween fun before the fatal wreck ... TMZ has learned.

Taraja Ramsess' mother, Akili, tells us her son was in the car with 6 others that fateful night -- including his ex-wife, Selena, and a mix of 5 children ... most of whom he'd had with her, and a newborn he shares with his current partner, Lisa, who was at home.

Anyway, we're told Taraja and Selena had just finished taking all the children trick or treating in the Atlanta area and were on their way home when they got in the accident.

As we reported ... Taraja died at the scene, as did two of his daughters -- a 13-year-old and an 8-week-old little girl. His 10-year-old son later died after being taken off life support.

110623_black_panther_stuntman
DEADLY CRASH
FOX 5

Selena and two daughters she shared with Taraja survived -- they all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, although one of the daughters is still in the hospital. In terms of how Akili heard the tragic news ... she tells us Selena called and was inconsolable.

Akili says it was the worst night of her life, and the heartache of losing her son and grandchildren was compounded by not immediately knowing who was alive and dead.

Apparently, first responders had taken everybody to different hospitals, and it created a confusing/chaotic situation to try and track down everyone in the aftermath. Akili adds, "It's impacted our family. It's now part of us -- our family needs some time to heal and recover and go on with our lives best we can."

Obviously, the entire family is distraught in the wake of all this ... and we're told everybody is trying to cope as best they can in the wake of such an awful catastrophe that claimed so many lives.

Now, in terms of what exactly caused the crash -- remember, Taraja slammed into a tractor-trailer while coming off the freeway -- Akili isn't ready to discuss it. It's under investigation.

Playboy Mansion Prized Parrot Flies the Coop ... Fire Dept. Swoops In!!!

The Playboy Mansion has historically been home to a helluva lot of hot people -- but it's also housed some creatures of another feather ... and one of those bastards escaped!

Here's the deal ... the famed estate -- once owned and occupied by the late Hugh Hefner -- has long had a crap ton of winged beasts living on the grounds. It's a little unclear how long they've been around, but guests who've swung by over the years have seen them.

Among the many birds are parrots -- not to mention other exotic ones, like toucans for example -- and one of the Pollys actually made a brazen run flight for it 2 weeks ago.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the L.A. Fire Dept. responded to the L.A. County Club Oct. 29 to help rescue a parrot that had fled from the Mansion -- and fluttered on over to the neighboring country club. We're told they believe it got out with the help of a strong gust of Santa Ana winds.

Anyway, a fire truck ended up showing up to deal with it ... cat-and-ladder-style, 'cause our sources say the bird ended up flying into a nearby tree -- where first responders attempted to coax it down using a little H2O. Not a little actually -- quite a bit -- 'cause we're told they ended up using about half a tank of water to "make it rain" atop the tree, in hopes that it would force the parrot to come down to their level. Unfortunately, the bird only went higher.

Eventually, we're told the Fire Dept. had to pack it up and leave -- 'cause the golf course was closing, and they weren't any close to getting the bird down. So, that's what they did.

As far as how this feathered tale ends ... one eyewitness tells us the parrot did end up coming down on its own once everyone left -- but no word on whether it was officially reunited with its owners. We've reached out to the current lord of the manor, Darren Metropoulos, but so far ... no word back.

Chad Johnson Warns Aaron Rodgers ... Don't Come Back This Season!!!

BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR
TMZSports.com

Chad Johnson is advising Aaron Rodgers to pump the brakes on a potential return to the Jets this season ... telling TMZ Sports the star quarterback needs to chill before he reinjures himself.

The Bengals legend didn't mince words when discussing the topic with us this week, saying straight up, "Don't come back. You'll hurt yourself."

Johnson never had to deal with a torn Achilles during his NFL career ... but he certainly saw others go down with the injury in his 11 years in the league, and he's now warning Rodgers to not rush back this year.

"Don't do it," he said. "You're going to reinjure yourself. It's too soon."

Of course, 39-year-old Rodgers -- who tore his Achilles back on September 11 -- appears to be doing all he can to come rescue the 4-4 Jets despite outside concerns ... progressing to the point where he's now taking dropbacks and firing off passes during pregame warmups.

BACK IN THE GROOVE
X / @nyjets

While Johnson is clearly impressed with the recovery so far ... he was adamant that he doesn't believe it's a good idea to return to NFL action so quickly.

"You have to understand," Johnson said, "there are few injuries that you don't want to play with. You don't want to play with anything having to do with your groin, your Achilles, or your knees. You don't rush back from those."

"I don't care what your doctors tell you."

Instead, Johnson is hopeful Rodgers will take the whole year off, get to 100 percent ... and then be ready for the 2024 season.

"There's no need to rush back," he said.

And, more than 2 decades later ... the Marvel studios star has been showing off her natural beauty and glow -- most recently during Paris Fashion Week (right) -- as well as hitting the big screen this weekend, playing the rebellious Carol Danvers in "The Marvels."

The question here is ...

'RHOC' Elizabeth Lyn Vargas Puts Desert Oasis Back On Market ... Nearly $9M After Renovations

'RHOC' alum Elizabeth Lyn Vargas has put her beautiful desert home back on the market after makin' some changes ... and the spot could be yours if you have nearly $9 million to spend.

TMZ broke the story, Elizabeth first put the Palm Springs-area spot for sale in March 2022, but it looks like no one chomped down on the $9.95 million price tag.

We're told she's since made some major renovations to the property -- including a full exterior paint job and a complete redo of the kitchen. It's now back on the market, but she's only asking for $8.995 mil -- that's a million less than previous.

The 10,000-square-foot home is located in the gated community of La Quinta Polo Estates and comes with landscaped gardens and greenery that surround a large koi pond with over 300 fish.

It's got 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, and the property's covered with sweet perks like a sparkling pool, tennis court and loads of fruit trees.

The sale is staying in the 'Real Housewives' family ... 'cause current 'RHOC' housewife Gina Kirschenheiter and Dave Archuletta -- no, not that one -- of First Team Real Estate hold the listing.
