Jeff Bezos Humans Will Live in Space ... Earth Will Only Be for Vacays

Jeff Bezos is a super-smart guy, so you just can't dismiss what he says out of hand, but this one is mind-bending.

Bezos thinks planet earth is going to be more like Disneyland in the future rather than home base. In other words, he doesn't think people are going to be inhabiting the planet full time ... rather it will become more like a vacation destination.

Bezos spoke at the Ignatius Form in D.C. and suggested outer space will be where humans will live. He talked about floating space cities that are so massive ... they contain forests, wildlife, rivers, the works. He also said all manufacturing will be performed in deep space.

It's almost like he drew inspiration from William Shatner's character in "Star Trek" ... which may partly explain why Shatner hitched a ride recently on Blue Origin.

And, ever the competitor, he took a shot at Elon Musk, by saying it's way more likely these colonies will float in space rather than settle on Mars.

As for earth ... well, as he said, it will just be a place you visit ... "the way you visit Yellowstone National Park."

Bezos told the crowd, “Over centuries, many people will be born in space, it will be their first home.”

It's a brave new out-of-this-world.

Queen Elizabeth Oh My Achin' Back ... Cancels Appearance at Remembrance Service

Queen Elizabeth continues to struggle with medical woes ... this time it's a sprained back that has sidelined her from a big event.

The Queen was MIA from the Remembrance Sunday service ... which honors Britain's war dead.

The Palace said it was "with great regret" the Queen couldn't show for the service. It would have been her first public appearance since her mysterious hospitalization a few weeks back.

As for Remembrance Sunday ... it's especially meaningful to Q.E. because she served in WWII as an army driver.

It's unclear if the Queen has fully recovered from whatever landed her in the hospital. She had canceled her appearance at the U.N. Climate Summit ... instead appearing via video.

The 95-year-old monarch has been spending most of her time at Windsor Castle, and the latest medical issue will probably keep her there ... at least until the back heals.

Kanye West Beanie Says 'Yeezy' Nickname Was Free ... But Open to Biz with Ye

Ye has gone by a lot of nicknames throughout his career, but none have stuck quite like "Yeezy" ... and now the man who created it is naming his price for the moniker that made Kanye billions.

NO HANDOUTS NEEDED

Philly rapper Beanie Sigel is the man Ye recently credited for the Yeezy handle ... shouting him out in a "Drink Champs" interview, and saying he's been trying for years to pay Sigel a lump sum of cash for the name.

NAME YOUR PRICE
Revolt TV / Drinks Champs

We caught up with Beanie and former Rocafella artist Young Chris ... Beanie tells us the "Yeezy" name itself is only a tiny fraction of the brand Kanye has created ... and it's Kanye's genius and work ethic that turned the nickname into a multi-billion dollar brand. Sigel says he doesn't want Ye's money, but he'd love it if Ye could help him out in a business deal.

As for why ... Beanie says all he needs is a starter, and from there he'll work to build his own empire. You can tell it's nothing but love between the old friends.

We're told previous reports that Kanye had offered Beanie $50 million and stock options were simply based on a joke Beanie told in a club, and there was no truth to it.

Of course, Ye's Yeezy shoes have been culture-shifting ... not to mention the fashion line and other products he's rolled out on the brand -- all of which has helped Kanye amass a reported $6.6 billion fortune.

NO CHANCE
TMZ.com

Erika Jayne is eliminating one specific kind of suitor ... telling us she would be hard-pressed to date another lawyer like her estranged husband Tom Girardi.

We got the 'RHOBH' star leaving Jolie in Los Angeles and our photog asked her how her dating life is going, and if she would ever go out with a lawyer again.

Ya gotta see Erika's initial reaction ... but when we press her, she gets real ... explaining why lawyers are probably not the best fit for her going forward, albeit with one big exception.

As you know, Erika is in the middle of a rocky divorce with Tom and she's been sued for allegedly hiding assets through a "sham divorce." Tom is accused of stealing money intended for families of the 2018 Lion Air Flight 610 crash victims.

Remember ... Erika says intelligence and money are the two most important factors in a partner, while looks and age are lower on the totem pole ... and now we know lawyers are out of bounds.

Erika's not dating anyone at the moment ... but if she ever does find a match, she tells us if another walk down the aisle is in the cards.

Jake Paul Shoots Down Woodley Rematch ... 'He Had His Chance'

110721_jake_paul_fury_kal
UP FOR THE CHALLENGE
TMZSports.com

Sorry, Tyron Woodley -- that "I love Jake Paul" tattoo was all for naught ... 'cause Jake Paul tells TMZ Sports he's officially slamming the door on giving the former UFC champ a rematch.

Of course, Woodley held up his end of a tattoo bet he made with Paul after losing the Aug. 29 bout ... getting the phrase etched on the side of his middle finger nearly a month later, but clearly, Jake thought he was too slow to getting it done.

Paul -- who's fighting Tommy Fury on Dec. 18 -- says there's no need for Woodley to wait around in hopes of getting another shot at the YouTube superstar after he's done with TNT ... and has a pretty good reason why.

"I don't think people really wanna see Tyron vs Jake Paul again," Jake tells us. "He had his chance."

As for his upcoming fight, Paul admits the 7-0 brother of Tyson Fury is his toughest opponent to date ... but he's expecting the same outcome from his first 4 fights.

"Definitely the toughest guy, but I'm coming for his head," Jake added. "He has a lot a lot to deal with and he chose the wrong time to fight me because I'm not playing around this time."

There's more -- Jake says Tyson getting involved and helping Tommy prepare actually helps the fight for promotional purposes ... and dishes on whether he still wants to fight Nate Diaz.

CHICO DEBARGE ARRESTED FOR METH ... Motorhome Impounded

Chico DeBarge got busted for drug possession ... and the motorhome the R&B singer was living in is now impounded.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops got a call back on Nov. 6 about a man causing a disturbance inside a motorhome, and when they got there they made contact with Chico and noticed his RV had an expired registration of over 6 months.

We're told police impounded the vehicle and officers allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia inside the ride.

The DeBarge singer was then arrested and booked for possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia ... and he was later released from custody on a promise to appear citation.

Chico's admittedly struggled with addiction for years, and he's been arrested 3 other times -- in 2007, late 2019 and early 2021 -- for drug possession.

As we first told you ... during the last drug bust, cops say Chico ID'd himself as James, his older brother from the family singing group, before being properly ID'd during the booking process.

Sounds like Chico learned at least one lesson ... we're told he didn't try to claim to be someone else this time.

Comedian Affion Crockett Stand-Up Set in FL ... Interrupted by Lady He Calls 'Karen'

111321_affion_crockett_kal 11/12/21
CORNERED BY KAREN

A comedian's stand-up show came to an abrupt halt after a dissatisfied satisfied appears to have waded her way onto the stage ... just to let him know, she wasn't digging his jokes.

Affion Crockett was performing Friday at the Comedy Zone in Jacksonville, FL ... when, at some point, a woman joined him onstage -- without being invited -- and interrupted the proceedings. Someone captured part of the interaction ... and it's bizarre.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The lady is understandably getting heckled by the crowd, but AC wants to know what's up and why she's butting into his set like this. Eventually, the woman says something along the lines of her being married ... and how his cracks about sex are offensive.

Affion handles the criticism well -- pointing out he's talking about consenting adults, and describing his own experiences. Then, he takes a poll from the audience ... and hardly anyone else is as insulted as this lady seems to have been. Finally, she's escorted out.

The guy hits her with a "bye, Karen" as she's leaving, and the crowd's in a riot.

Taylor Swift Re-Release of 'Red' Album Major Plug from Corporate America

Taylor Swift re-released her newest "version" of the 'Red' album -- a historical moment that seemingly has the full support of American capitalism itself ... seriously, everyone's onboard.

'Red (Taylor's Version)' dropped on Friday ... and with it came a ton of plugs from major corporations covering just about every sector of consumerism ... from sports teams to restaurants/food brands, and almost everything else in between -- even computer games!

For starters ... a LOT of companies flat-out changed their Twitter profile names to include "(Taylor's Version)" as an added footnote. While some handles still have it up as of this writing, as many as 6 different orgs appear to have made the change on Friday itself.

Of those that went all in on Taylor ... Target, TikTok, GoFundMe, Republic Records, The Sims, The Hunger Games (yes, really), Hockey East Association and others.

Like we said, a good amount of those companies have switched their profile names back to their original titles, but some are still rockin' (Taylor's Version).

Even Dylan O'Brien -- who stars in TayTay's new short film -- is sporting (Taylor's Version) in his Twitter bio ... as are many, many other normies who aren't famous.

Beyond just these companies that made the ultimate plug ... more tweeted messages in response to the big drop -- like Starbucks, Sour Patch Kids, Olive Garden, Etsy, Panera Bread, Chips Ahoy, Taco Bell and a lot more. Shoot ... the freaking Kansas City Chiefs got in on the fun too.

The latest version of 'Red' -- which is basically Taylor singing all those old songs anew -- is obviously getting tons of fanfare from every corner of corporate America ... and it's all dovetailed by 'All Too Well,' that short we mentioned earlier -- which supposedly depicts her failed relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, who apparently broke her heart or something.

The point here ... it seems like Taylor's foray into this whole endeavor, one she seems to have done mostly to spite Scooter Braun, is actually paying off!

Kim Kardashian Advice for Pal's Wedding ... I Might Not be Best One To Ask!!!

KIM'S GOT JOKES
@tracyromulus/Instagram

Kim Kardashian knows a thing or two about marriage -- but not necessarily a successful one ... which made her wedding advice at a pal's rehearsal dinner all the more hilarious.

During entertainment executive Simon Huck's pre-nuptial feast Friday night, he and his hubby-to-be, Phil Riportella, invited KK to get on the mic and deliver a few words of encouragement. She took 'em up on it ... but noted she might not be the best one to give guidance here.

Check out her jokes ... Kim talks about her 3 failed marriages, and how she hasn't really figured out this "marriage thing" herself.

She even makes some cracks at her own expense -- as well as some at her ex-husbands ... including Kris Humphries, to whom she was married for just 72 days. That said, Kim offers them tips on the actual ceremony itself ... touching on how to get the best "first kiss" shot.

Kim ends by saying she can recognize true love when she sees it, and thinks Simon and Phil will go the distance. Sure enough, she got a big round of applause.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It's interesting ... even though Kim is smackdab in the middle of her own divorce right now, she's very much in wedding mode -- attending Paris Hilton's ceremony, and now Simon's.

Gotta wonder what Pete Davidson thinks of all these happily ever after vibes. 😅

Rock Band Brass Against Frontwoman Pees on Fan's Face ... During Live Concert 😟

A rock band's lead singer got a little too hardcore during a live show -- pulling down her pants and taking a major leak on a dude's face ... who seemed to be all about it.

This wild incident went down Thursday night during the Welcome to Rockville festival at the Daytona International Speedway -- where Brass Against performed to a ton of fanfare ... and eventually, to a ton of grossed-out spectators who witnessed this unsanitary scene.

Frontwoman Sophia Urista was rocking out during their set -- and performing a cover Rage Against the Machine's "Wake Up" -- when she and the band apparently invited a guy in the front row to come on up and receive a golden shower ... to which he happily obliged.

Unclear exactly if he knew what he was in for -- but he seemed more than willing to lie down on stage (with a can mounted to his forehead) and let Urista do her thing.

That thing, as it turned out, was to wiz all over his head and body ... and it was captured in graphic detail from folks who were no more than 15 or 20 feet away. She unbuttoned her pants, pulled down her panties and then got into a squat position and hovered.

Soon, the live stream started ... and she let it rip for a good 10 seconds or so. The downpour of urine absolutely buried the man's face -- and he even spits some out which came shooting up looking like a spray of water. Yeah, it's freaking gnarly ... and gross as hell.

You can go find the video for yourself online -- we can't really post it here because, well ... it's just a little too vile to depict in full. But, trust when we say -- it's quite a sight.

Brass Against has since apologized for the stunt -- on behalf of Urista too, it seems -- taking to Twitter to write, "We had a great time last night at Welcome to Rockville," Brass Against tweeted. "Sophia got carried away. That's not something the rest of us expected, and it's not something you’ll see again at our shows. Thanks for bringing it last night, Daytona."

Britney Spears Sam Lutfi Must Still Stay Clear of Her

Britney Spears is a free woman and can do almost anything she wants ... but one of the things that is out of bounds is another relationship with Sam Lutfi.

There is a 5-year restraining order in full force against Sam ... a restraining order signed by the judge in 2019. This is not the first restraining order against Lutfi ... an earlier one was issued when the conservatorship was established back in 2008.

Lutfi was a singular presence in Britney's life during her lowest point ... just before the conservatorship was established. Lynne and Jamie Spears claimed Sam was lording over their daughter ... controlling every part of her life. They also alleged Lutfi crushed pills and spread them in Britney's food to maintain control, something Lutfi denied. He was also allegedly controlling who could visit Britney, who could talk to her and he even allegedly tried to become the point person for doctors when she was hospitalized.

That restraining order was in effect for the first 5 years of the conservatorship, but in 2019, Britney's lawyer went back to court, alleging Lutfi was trying to get back in Britney's life. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Lutfi had allegedly reached out to Lynne Spears ... offering her $1,000 to "disrupt and take over" the conservatorship process. The docs also say Lutfi allegedly threatened to release confidential information about Britney.

It's interesting ... before the restraining order was issued, Lutfi was posting that his endgame was to free Britney from the conservatorship. He allegedly told Lynne Spears, "We have hundreds of people, drs, lawyers, journalists, celebrities all working" to disrupt the conservatorship. He encouraged Britney's fans to stop at nothing to free her.

Judge Penny -- the same judge who just ended the conservatorship -- issued the restraining order, requiring Lutfi to stay 100 feet from Britney, refrain from any contact whatsoever and refrain from making disparaging comments about her. The restraining order also protects Jamie, Lynne, as well as Britney's 2 kids, Sean and Jayden.

Paris and Carter Celebrating to the Hilt for 2nd Wedding Bash!!!

Paris Hilton and Carter Reum are keeping the wedding train chuggin' along ... they had an encore presentation of their wedding reception, this time at the famed Santa Monica Pier.

Paris and several hundred guests packed the Pier Friday night. The festivities fired up at around 8 PM, and lots of famous friends were on hand, including Demi Lovato, Lele Pons, Lance Bass and Diplo handled the DJing. Of course, her fam was front and center -- Kathy and Nicky especially made the rounds.

Paris was having a great time, taking photos with lots of people and, of course, mugging all the way!

PARTYIN' ON THE PIER

This party was strictly fun ... with a roller coaster, a ferris wheel and bumper cars at the ready, and everyone took advantage.

There were also the standard Santa Monica Pier games, including Wack-o-mole, balloon popping, a mini basketball game, ring tosses, and on and on. Partygoers who were good enough won stuffed animals.

There were the obligatory street performers on stilts with twirling lighted umbrellas.

Paris, ever the entrepreneur, gave out boxes of her perfume -- Rush and Electrify.

And, this is the best ... plastered above the sink -- "#Forever Hilton Reum, That's Hot, Sliving."

As we reported, Paris tied the knot Thursday with Carter in an opulent ceremony at her grandpa's former estate. Lots of famous folks showed, including Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie, Demi Lovato, Paula Abdul, Kyle Richards, Bebe Rexha, Emma Roberts and Evan Ross.

Gotta say ... one of the more spectacular celeb weddings, and it's not over. There's a super formal, black-tie shindig back at grandpa's estate Saturday night. We'll have pics Sunday, so stay tuned.

And, in case you didn't see ... check out the tent in the backyard. It's insanely huge.

In case you wondered if this wedding will be commercialized, fear not ... Paris is doing a documentary on the whole thing.

Ex-NBA Player Corey Benjamin Daughter Socked Two Girls ... Weeks Before Viral Sucker Punch

POINTLESS PUNCHES
TMZSports.com

The daughter of ex-NBA player Corey Benjamin was involved in another on-court fight just weeks before her viral sucker punch ... new video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows.

The violent altercation went down in mid-September in Del Amo, Calif. -- just two months before she sucker punched a girl during a youth basketball game near Anaheim last weekend.

In the footage, you can see the teenager was jockeying with another girl to try to gain position inside the key ... when she suddenly snapped.

Video shows Benjamin's daughter threw several punches at the girl -- before sprinting toward another girl on the court and throwing even more haymakers.

We're told officials later hit her with an indefinite ban from the venue over the altercation.

You'll recall, Benjamin's daughter was hit with a similar punishment following her actions during a game this past Saturday.

RIDICULOUS REACTION
@hammyalice / Instagram

In that incident, the girl laid out her opponent after she felt she was fouled on a jump shot. The mother of the teenager who was punched tells us she has filed a criminal report against Benjamin's daughter over it all.

Benjamin has issued an apology over his daughter's actions, telling NBC L.A. this week, "As a father, I'm shocked and disappointed at my daughter's behavior as this is not a reflection of the values and standards that my family holds. Nor does it exemplify the values, character and spirit of sportsmanship that the game of basketball requires."

"My daughter made a mistake," Benjamin continued. "One that she will need to make right. I am committed to getting my daughter any help she may need and support her in taking accountability for her conduct."
