Antonio Brown is shifting his focus from Tom Brady's ex-wife to Travis Kelce's girlfriend ... 'cause the controversial former NFL superstar has launched a trolling campaign on Taylor Swift.

AB -- who has zero filter when it comes to his online presence -- dropped what appears to be an AI-generated pic of himself in a Steelers jersey making out with the pop superstar on Friday ... saying, "Move over Jizelle, what these Swifties talkin bout? #CTESPN"

Brown incessantly went after Gisele Bundchen on social media following his former quarterback's divorce last year ... posting edited photos of the two together to insinuate he was responsible for their split.

As recently as last week, he targeted the former couple after Gisele confirmed her relationship with Joaquim Valente ... sharing a real picture of the receiver and model hugging after winning the Super Bowl in 2021.

But, it seems like he's done with Gisele -- at least for the time being -- 'cause he's caused quite a stir with his latest post ... and a lot of his followers are warning him the Swifties will inevitably team together to make sure he regrets the move.

Swift and AI have had a rough relationship lately -- as we previously reported, a ton of weirdos flooded social media with fake X-rated content featuring the "Anti-Hero" artist ... so yeah, this ain't gonna sit well with the fanbase one bit.

Larsa Pippen will not apologize for being generous with the Benjamins for daughter Sophia's allowance ... defending her parenting, and saying her teen daughter is also earning her own dough.

ICYMI, Sophia's hefty allowance is $2,500 per month, and it became a hot topic during Thursday's reunion for "The Real Housewives of Miami." While Andy Cohen was shocked to learn the 15-year-old was getting so much, Larsa claimed that number isn't that uncommon in Los Angeles, where her daughter resides.

As the Bravo personality put it ... L.A. is a super expensive town and the massive sum gives Sophia the freedom to order food, buy presents for friends and more.

She also says a large chunk of that change is earned by Sophia, who has appeared in campaigns for both Fashion Nova and Oscar de la Renta -- like most L.A. teenagers, we suppose?

Larsa's castmate Adriana de Moura came to her defense, calling her a good mom ... but noted that the reality TV star had other faults they could focus on.

For instance, Guerdy Abraira has struggled to forgive Larsa for revealing her cancer diagnosis without her permission.

While Larsa tried to apologize again at the reunion ... Guerdy made it clear she had no time to deal with the drama.

Larsa's main supporter during the episode was boyfriend Marcus Jordan (AKA son of basketball legend Michael Jordan).

While Marcus declared his love for Larsa during the reunion ... the two have had some recent drama off-screen. Remember, Larsa and Marcus faced breakup rumors last month after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Larsa -- who was previously married to Michael's teammate Scottie Pippen -- said during "The Traitors" reunion, which also dropped Thursday ... "We're working on our problems."

We may need a roadmap to follow all this drama.

UFO sightings apparently have nothing to do with anything extraterrestrial -- at least that's what Uncle Sam is saying, anyway, after digging into the issue.

For the past couple years, the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has been digging into all those UFO videos in recent years ...  and on Friday, they came out and said it was all much ado about nothing ... at least as far as aliens are concerned.

The Pentagon says they've found zero evidence that any of those mysterious UAP sightings were from outer space ... and also no proof of hidden spacecraft dropping by either.

The unclassified 63-page report goes on to state there's no evidence of the government or any sneaky private companies having their hands on extraterrestrial tech to reverse engineer UFOs in secret ... something that's been alleged by supposed whistleblowers.

In fact, Tim Phillips, the acting director of AARO, told reporters there's no indication that anyone's been hiding stuff from Congress at all on this issue ... adding that the alleged secret UAP programs being kept under wraps by the U.S. government don't exist at all.

Worth noting ... Congress ordered up this report 'cause there's been a lot of renewed interest about UFOs -- so the whole thing may just be a tactic to divert attention elsewhere or cover it up altogether ... that's certainly what conspiracy theorists are gonna say about this.

Navy fighter pilot commander David Fravor, a witness of the infamous "Tic Tac" UFO sighting, and former pilot Ryan Graves, also testified alongside David Grusch under oath about UFOs and secret government programs allegedly involving extraterrestrial tech.

A lot of their testimonials were covered in our own doc about this ... 'UFO Revolution.'

Their stories were pretty alarming, and some of those stories about UFO sightings are seriously convincing ... especially with some of the videos that have been released.

As far as the Pentagon is concerned, though ... no little green men are among us.

Chloe and Halle Bailey have a bond that can't be broken -- which is probably why the older sibling here says it was no issue keeping her little sister's pregnancy a secret.

We caught up with sister duo at Essence mag's pre-Oscar gala on Thursday -- and Halle couldn't help but blush and gush about her newborn baby boy Halo, whom she shares with boyfriend DDG ... who was enjoying fatherhood as we spoke with Mama Bear.

Just check out the video DDG threw up recently ... showing him goofing around with the kid.

Anyway, back to Halle -- our photog asked if Halle's musical talents have transferred over to the baby just yet ... and based on her reaction, it sounds like it might be too early to tell.

So, instead ... we lobbed her a softball, asking how motherhood was going -- and HB told us it was great. Chloe, however, gave us a little more insight into her sister's pregnancy ... which sorta flew under the radar (although, not really).

Nonetheless, we asked Chloe if was difficult keeping everything under wraps for Halle -- and she told us it was actually a breeze. Halle herself addressed this as well during her remarks at the event ... and said she had no obligation to share her pregnancy with the world.

Ariana Grande may have shed new light on her divorce from Dalton Gomez ... at least that's what some fans think after hearing her new song, which appears to suggest infidelity.

The pop star dropped her latest album, "Eternal Sunshine," on Friday ... and in the titular song, she calls out a man whom she says played her -- and the way she says that happened was through lying and apparent cheating.

Here's how one telling verse goes ... "I've never seen someone lie like you do // So much, even you start to think it's true // So now we play our separate scenes // Now, now she's in my bed, mm-mm, layin' on your chest // Now I'm in my head, wonderin' how it ends."

Ariana continues to sing ... "Showed you all my demons, all my lies // Yet you played me like Atari // Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror // Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy and he's on my side."

On its face, Ari seems to be accusing an ex here -- although it's not entirely clear which one -- but many suspect she's perhaps pointing the finger at Dalton ... y'know, since that was her last big relationship. She was only married to the dude, after all.

Inversely, she also appears to be referencing her current BF, Ethan Slater, as the "good boy" -- again, that's how some of her fans are taking this ... with some interpreting the words literally and trying to apply it to her real life. Understandable ... artists do that sometimes.

If she is, in fact getting at alleged cheating in this song -- on Dalton's part -- then you could argue this is Ariana trying to tweak the narrative over how things ended with DG and how her romance with Ethan started. Remember, she was infamously labeled a "homewrecker" by fans ... and even Ethan's ex-wife, Lilly Jay, implied Ari had swooped in on her hubby.

Not long after the news broke ... Ethan officially pulled the plug on his marriage. Since word of his and Ari's relationship went public -- the two of them have been virtually inseparable.

By October, Ariana and Dalton had officially settled their divorce. Dalton's been mum on the whole thing ... and in the aftermath of Ari, he's already moved on with other ladies.

It's interesting that fans now seem to think Ariana might be shifting the blame a bit -- that is, if you're taking her words to heart and projecting it onto Gomez ... which some certainly are.

We'd heard from sources with knowledge that their marriage fell apart in a post-COVID world due to scheduling issues, and Ari resuming being an A-lister. Now, however ... some are hearing another possibility -- but TBH, they might be reaching a bit on this one.

Fact is ... Ari's lyrics are up to interpretation -- as is the case with all music -- and while it's understandable why some might be perceiving this as a shot at Dalton ... it very well might be about something else entirely. In fact, she's spoken fondly of him in recent interviews.

Ariana recently did an interview with Zach Sang to plug the new album -- and she alluded to the fact that she wasn't holding any hate in her heart over previous relationships ... and that she wasn't carrying anything negative onto this new album of hers -- which suggests there's no ill will at Dalton at all. Eye of the beholder, we suppose ... that's how these things go.

Wolfgang Van Halen is breaking his silence after David Lee Roth attacked him in an angry viral rant 2 months ago ... firing back with some shots of his own.

In a new interview with a local radio station out of Atlanta, the late Eddie Van Halen's son says he's been born into the family drama and feels like David's targeting him now since his dad is no longer alive ... and the guy still seems to have gripes he wants to get off his chest.

Back in January, David Lee Roth erupted on Wolfgang in a bizarre YouTube video, suggesting the only reason WVH was the Van Halen bassist was through nepotism, and accusing Wolfgang of complaining David wasn't paying him enough attention on stage.

DLR said, "This f***ing kid, he's complaining the entire tour like I'm not paying enough attention to him on stage. Like Santa Claus coming down the chimney and popping out on Christmas with nobody paying attention."

Wolfgang now says he's honored David thinks about him enough to make a YouTube video about him ... adding DLR is full of crap for suggesting he wrote Eddie's solos and came up with Eddie's famous Frankenstein guitar.

David also accused Wolfgang of trying to teach him a lesson by getting two of his female guests kicked out of a show at the Hollywood Bowl ... but Wolfgang says folks should take everything David says with a grain of salt.

Kylie Jenner didn't want to talk about her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, in a new high-profile interview -- and that includes punting on the issue of him "changing" her style.

The beauty mogul spoke to the NYT Thursday about a wide range of topics -- and, of course, the topic of her relationship with Timbo came up in conversation ... albeit, very briefly ... 'cause it was clear Kylie didn't wanna delve into her private life.

The interviewer is pointing out that a lot of KJ's fans were taken aback last year when she posted a shot of herself in a white dress that screamed "cottagecore" -- with many apparently saying her fashion sensibility had switched up ... and some attributing that to Timmy.

Kylie was asked if she'd seen any of those comments, to which she replied, "no" -- explaining she only reads feedback on posts tied to her businesses.

She was then quoted as saying... "I don’t know how I feel about that." The reporter notes that Kylie was getting uncomfortable as more questions about TM were being brought up, and she then said ... "I just don’t want to talk about personal things."

It's interesting ... Kylie and Timmy are fairly private as it is, although they hit the Golden Globes together as a couple -- which seemed to be them officially going public. Of course, they'd been spotted out before that ... making out and showing PDA at different events.

Since then, however, we haven't seen much of them together -- granted, though, Tim's been busy promoting 'Dune 2' with the rest of his costars ... so he's objectively been busy.

Some have suggested they're actually split up -- and while she was mum on talking about him in this chat ... there are other signs Kylie and Timothee are still going strong, if the new 'Kardashians' promo for Season 5 is any indication. It's incredibly 'Dune'-coded.

Kylie didn't discuss Tim ... but she did address the scrutiny her appearance has gotten throughout her life. She says in this same interview ... "It's just years and years of not feeling like my face or looks are accepted. There's nothing anyone could ever say now that would hurt me."

Sounds like Kylie's throwing up shields around her to protect her humanity -- which is understandable ... she's under a microscope constantly, and seemingly is always under fire.

J.K. Rowling has been reported to the police by British broadcaster India Willoughby ... who claims JKR has repeatedly misgendered her online as part of an ongoing online beef.

India -- the ex-"Celebrity Big Brother" contestant who's a transgender woman -- spoke to Byline TV regarding the issue ... claiming she's gotten Northumbria Police involved, as she says J.K. has consistently referred to her as a man despite her legal status as a woman.

She says J.K.'s alleged repeated misgendering constitutes a crime in the U.K. -- suggesting it violates the Equalities Act and Gender Recognition Act. India also hints this could possibly qualify as a hate crime ... but at the very least, thinks it's a malicious communications case.

Variety reports that Northumbria Police are on standby, ready to have a chat with the author about this whole ordeal ... but no word on whether J.K.'s gonna play ball.

Meanwhile, J.K.'s already fired back ... saying she's already consulted a lawyer who not only reckons she has a solid case against IW for defamation, but says India constantly targeting J.K. online might qualify as harassment -- so she's mulling legal action of her own.

J.K. adds, "Aware as I am that it's an offense to lie to law enforcement, I'll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can't compel women to take him at his own valuation."

Of course, Rowling's faced a ton of backlash for her controversial remarks about transgender folks. She's been called out as a "TERF" (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and labeled a bigot by many -- some of the 'HP' cast have even distanced themselves from her.

"Love Is Blind" stars Jimmy Presnell and Chelsea Blackwell might not be over after all ... as the season 6 exes are having a surprise reunion down in Florida.

Spoiler alert here, in case ya haven't seen the finale yet!

So, those who did see it know Jimmy called things off with Chelsea, ending their engagement even before they got to the altar in the finale episode that dropped this week. However, they're stirring reconciliation buzz now after appearing to share a meal together Thursday while out and about in the Sunshine State.

Though they didn't post pictures of each other, they both shared images from JB's on the Beach in Deerfield Beach ... with a bottle of Corona providing a major clue.

Earlier in the day, Chelsea (AKA the Megan Fox girl) mentioned she was heading to the Fort Lauderdale area for her best friend's wedding. She later posted a pic of herself enjoying a meal at JB's, where she appeared to have a dinner companion who was enjoying a certain Mexican cerveza.

Fans flocked to Jimmy's social media -- where he uploaded an image from the same restaurant and, yes, he had ordered a Corona. But it took a TikTok video to officially confirm the reunion, as the upload showed Jimmy and Chelsea smiling and laughing while enjoying their meal.

The twosome happily snapped a photo with a fan, too -- so it's clear they are on friendly terms.

The supposed reconciliation would be a far happier ending than the pair had on 'LiB' ... which showed Jimmy canceling their nuptials after several explosive fights -- one of which was over his close friendship with a former lover.

Thankfully, fans are set to get all the relationship deets when the reunion episode premieres March 13 on Netflix.

And it's clear there is a lot to get caught up on ... remember, Jessica Vestal was recently spotted with castmate Johnny McIntyre days before she teased she was dating an unnamed costar.

That would be an absolute bombshell, though, as Johnny was the only guy to actually get married this season ... and it wasn't to Jessica!

Well, that didn't take long.

Just hours after landing in Singapore with a gaggle of his buds ... Travis Kelce was firmly planted in a box suite for Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour show -- dancing his face off to at least one of her biggest hits!!

Check out video shot by a fan inside National Stadium ... as Taylor was belting out "Look What You Made Me Do" onstage -- Kelce was getting after it in his seat.

The Kansas City Chiefs star swayed back and forth as he thrust his arms and hips over and over again ... showing no signs of jet lag, this despite flying from the U.S. to Southeast Asia just hours earlier.

Kelce's pals seemed to be enjoying the concert too ... Ross Travis was sitting right by his side groovin' to the tunes -- while Harry Clark posted a vid of Taylor crooning with the caption, "Go Tay Tay."

Afterward, Kelce was waiting for Swift stageside so he could plant a big ole' congratulatory kiss on the pop star.

It's the second time in the last couple weeks that Kelce has flown across the world to watch his girlfriend perform ... in late February, he jetted to Sydney to support her down under.

It's unclear how long Kelce will be in Singapore to be with Swift -- or if any zoo dates are in the works. But she's slated to perform through Saturday night, and with the Chiefs in the middle of their offseason, it seems like a safe bet he'll be around for the weekend.

The two could spend significantly more time together after that as well ... because following her Singapore shows, she's not slated to return to the stage again 'til May.

Natalie Portman has not only already filed to divorce her husband of over a decade -- but the whole case is already settled in the books ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us a report from People Mag -- which says Natalie and Benjamin Millepied have finalized their divorce in France -- is accurate ... so yes, they're no longer married and officially single in the eyes of the law there in Europe.

There are no details just yet about what the divorce settlement entails -- including custody and child support of their two children ... ditto for spousal support, division of assets, etc.

All we know for sure is that Natalie is unattached -- which is a stunning development considering she and Ben have been at the center of gossip and speculation for well over a year now ... this amid allegations of infidelity on his part, which has gone unaddressed.

The fact Natalie divorced the guy, however, seems to lend some credence to the conjecture. She was also rolling solo here in the States for award shows of late.

If you're unfamiliar ... Ben is reported to have had a fling with climate activist Camille Etienne in 2023.

Several media outlets reported Natalie and Ben separated as a result of the alleged cheating -- but the couple never confirmed or denied on the record.

She recently said she'd relocated to Paris with their children as this whole mess unfolded -- and the divorce was handled in French courts. We've also confirmed that Natalie and Ben did, in fact, separate last year ... and clearly, they ended their marriage behind the scenes.

They were pretty private about their relationship since tying the knot in 2012 in Big Sur, CA -- although the 2 met in 2009 during the filming of "Black Swan," and Benjamin left his girlfriend at the time to be with Natalie instead. He's a dancer/choreographer himself, BTW.

NP and BM were married for 11 years. They share 12-year-old Aleph and 6-year-old Amalia.

Selena Gomez went all mushy-gushy with a sizzling birthday shoutout on IG ... celebrating her BF Benny Blanco's 36th in style.

The actress/singer didn't hold back one bit in her post, dropping the L-bomb and spilling all the deets about what makes him so damn special to her -- not to mention a bunch of PDA-packed snaps and clips together.

She gushes in the caption, "Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco 🎂🥹."

BB kept it short and simple ... responding in the comments with a flurry of loved-up emojis, which honestly said it all!

As for the pics/clips themselves, Selena's all cuddled up with her music producer boo, stealing kisses left and right ... and giving cute insight into them just being a normal, everyday couple.

Ever since S & B went IG official back in December, they haven't been shy about showing off their love -- and, besides social media, they've also been hitting up award shows and sports events as a duo.

They were also spotted at Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, CA in Jan ... where we caught the first glimpse of the pair's height difference -- BB's a bit shorter than his GF, but clearly little things like that don't matter to Selena.

Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden after Thursday's State of the Union address ... comparing him to a cartoon character in a filtered video he posted to his social media platform.

Perhaps unsurprisingly ... DT went the juvenile route in response to President Biden's hour-plus speech at The Capitol ... posting a brief compilation of Joe at the podium -- with the Veep sitting behind him -- that featured JB and her with a bunch of goofy filters.

Strangely enough, the 27-second clip DT uploaded to Truth Social used footage from Biden's SOTU address last year ... none from this year, which was weird.

In any case ... the clips Trump threw up spliced together four filtered and animated scenes featuring Biden delivering the 2023 speech with Kamala Harris behind them -- and he made them out to look pretty ridiculous ... the type of thing a 14-year-old might do in his free time.

Some of the images showed Biden and Harris with bulging eyes and frozen faces, as well as braided pigtails and hats. Another visual depicted Biden as a shaggy dog and Pinocchio.

Of course, this is relevant because DT is going toe-to-toe with JB in the 2024 presidential election. If DT's response here was any indicator, we're in for a lot of mudslinging this campaign season ... not to mention sophomoric jokes and jabs.

As for Biden's SOTU speech ...  most people in his Democratic party thought it was passionate and rousing. The 46th Prez talked about a range of issues, including the war in Gaza, Roe V. Wade, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and threats to democracy.

Biden also took a shot at his GOP rival without naming him. POTUS quoted his "predecessor" telling Vladimir Putin, "Do whatever the hell you want," in Ukraine.

Akira Toriyama -- the artist who created "Dragon Ball" and other iconic manga series -- has died.

His company, Bird Studio, confirmed the sad news Thursday -- announcing the legendary illustrator and writer passed away on March 1 as a result of acute subdural hematoma ... which is when blood collects between the brain and the skull.

No word on where exactly he died -- or under what specific circumstances -- but his org was clearly crushed, as it sounds like there is unfinished business of his. They wrote, "It's our deep regret that he still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm. Also, he would have many more things to achieve."

Bird Studio added, "However, he has left many manga titles and works of art to this world. Thanks to the support of so many people around the world, he has been able to continue his creative activities for over 45 years. We hope that Akira Toriyama's unique world of creation continues to be loved by everyone for a long time to come."

Toriyama's company went on to say that a funeral service was already held, and that only a few relatives and loved ones were in attendance. The org also says that gifts of condolences are appreciated, but will not be accepted on his behalf ... going on to ask for privacy.

In terms of a public memorial ... the company says they're not sure if it'll happen just yet.

This just speaks to the massive impact Akira had in Japan, but also ... around the world. His OG "Dragon Ball" comic series from the '80s spurred not only multiple anime TV shows -- which have become idolized and wildly popular throughout the years -- but a mountain of merch and collectibles that fans of all ages continue to enjoy today.

While his biggest claim to fame is creating "Dragon Ball" -- and getting credit for the many spinoffs as well -- Toriyama started other manga series as well, including "Dr. Slump," "Cowa!," "Kajika," "Sand Land" and others. He's renowned for his unique visual style -- which went on to influence countless other mangas and anime shows thereafter ... a trailblazer in every sense.

He was 68.

"Naked & Afraid" keeps hitting new milestones ... this time it's a starving contestant driven to munch on leeches that were trying to munch on her, and the footage ain't for the weak!

The jaw-dropping survival tactic is goes down on Sunday's episode of the Discovery Channel hit -- Sarah Barnett's instincts kick into gear while wading through croc-filled water for food, and suddenly opting to turn the tables on the blood-bloated suckers.

Sarah fearlessly peels several wriggling leeches from her leg, gathering just enough to keep her hunger at bay and feed her partner, Sam Strong, in their battle for survival in the unforgiving wilds of South Africa's Black Hills.

Of course, Sarah's not aiming for Michelin stars here, she's just focused on staying alive -- as you can see when she bravely chomps down on one of those suckers ... seared over their campfire.

Sarah very nonchalantly informs Sam about the extreme menu item, telling him blood burst into her mouth when she bit into the leech.

While she has zero gag reflex, poor Sam feels the squeeze just watching Sarah chow down ... and decides to give it a hard pass, despite being absolutely ravenous.

Hey, everyone has a limit, even on "Naked and Afraid."

These California natives won't just be battling leeches; they're also dodging man-eating crocodiles, prowling lions, and venomous snakes during their 21-day survival challenge.

Tan Mom is bowing out of the race for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida, and, oddly, Wendy Williams -- of all people -- played a role in her decision ... TMZ has learned.

The bronzed mother of 5, whose real name is Patricia Krentcil, says in a new video obtained by TMZ that she's dropped out of the running after watching the new Wendy documentary, and comparing it to her own reality series, "Tan to 10."

Tan Mom says she realized she could end up like Wendy, who struggles with alcohol abuse and a myriad of other health issues, if she continued with all the pressure that comes along with a political run for office.

Another factor ... mass layoffs at struggling and bankrupt Vice Media.

Tan Mom says she was filming a documentary about her campaign for Vice, but the media company pulled the plug and has not paid her or her team a dime, despite a contract she says she signed with Vice.

Patricia says the Vice staffers who were working on her documentary told her team a couple weeks ago their entire department was laid off, and would try to get her paid -- but Tan Mom says the whole thing has been a waste of time and effort and greatly hurt her campaign.

She also took time off the campaign trail in November to undergo a risky medical procedure ... bypass surgery to remove a stent separating her pancreas and liver.

When she announced her Senate bid last year, Tan Mom told us she was motivated to run because of Florida's hot-button issues ... like healthcare and drag show bans.

Even though she's waving the white flag, Tan Mom says she's proud of all the work she did on her campaign -- such as a Town Hall she filmed at Hamburger Mary's supporting the LGBTQ community.
