It ain't Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts or Lamar Jackson ... no, the NFL's MVP this year is Tyreek Hill!!

At least, that's what Channing Crowder is saying, telling TMZ Sports this week the Miami wideout has just been that good this season.

"He is the best player at his position in the NFL right now," Crowder said.

Of course, Crowder might have some bias in him -- after all, he did play all six of his NFL seasons with the Dolphins -- but his argument is one that's certainly hard to go against.

Through 10 games so far, Hill already has 1,222 receiving yards, nine touchdowns and 79 catches -- marks that have him on pace to break nearly every single-season record for a wide receiver.

Crowder says in his mind that's enough to put him over guys like Mahomes, Hurts, Jackson and the rest of the NFL's star quarterbacks for the league's most coveted award.

"When you're talking about the Dolphins," Crowder said, "and their best player being Tyreek Hill, he has to be the MVP."

Barbra Streisand's life didn't just inspire her hits -- it apparently led to others reaping the benefits of chart success ... including Aerosmith, which rode the coattails of her pillow talk.

According to Barb's new memoir, 'My Name is Barbra,' Steven Tyler and co. have her to thank for their hugely popular single "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" ... 'cause she says the inspiration from the song actually came from something her husband once told her in bed.

The way BS tells it ... she and her then-BF James Brolin were laying next to each other one night (sometime in the mid-'90s) not long after they'd first met/started hooking up.

She says they were staring at each other, when JB said ... "I don't want to fall asleep." She asked why and he replied, "'Cause I'll miss you.'" Barb adds ... "What a beautiful, poetic thing to say. And it captured a moment of complete bliss… physical, emotional, spiritual."

About a year after that, in 1997, Barbra says she was doing an interview with Barbara Walters on "20/20," during which she recounted that sweet moment ... something Diane Warren was also watching from home when this episode aired, so claims Barbra.

One thing led to another, and DW eventually wrote Aerosmith's first #1 hit in '98 ... which went on to be used in "Armageddon" and be nominated for an Oscar that year too.

After seeing how much success the song garnered, Barbra writes ... "It was so gratifying to see so many people responding to Jim's words. Well, no wonder… so did I!"

La vida de Barbra Streisand no solo inspiró sus grandes éxitos, al parecer también llevó a otros a cosechar beneficios en las listas musicales, incluyendo Aerosmith, quien se vio favorecido de una charla de almohada de Streisand.

Según el nuevo libro de memorias de Barb, 'My Name is Barbra', Steven Tyler y compañía tienen que agradecerle por su popular single "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" pues dice que la inspiración de la canción en realidad vino de algo que su marido le dijo alguna vez en la cama.

Según cuenta Barbra Streisand, ella y su entonces novio James Brolin estaban una noche tumbados uno al lado del otro (a mediados de los 90), poco después de que se conocieron y empezaron a salir.

Ella dice que estaban mirándose fijamente, cuando James dijo: "No quiero dormirme (I don't want to fall asleep)". Ella le preguntó por qué y él respondió: "'Porque te echaré de menos (Cause I'll miss you)". Barb añade: "Qué cosa tan hermosa y poética. Y capturó un momento de completa felicidad... física, emocional, espiritual".

Aproximadamente un año después de eso, en 1997, Barbra cuenta que estaba haciendo una entrevista con Barbara Walters en "20/20", donde contó el dulce momento, algo que Diane Warren también estaba viendo desde casa cuando se emitió este episodio, así lo afirma Barbra.

Una cosa llevó a la otra y Diane Warren finalmente escribió el primer éxito #1 de Aerosmith en el 98 que pasó a ser utilizado en "Armageddon" y a ser nominado a un Oscar ese mismo año también.

Después de ver el éxito que obtuvo la canción, Barbra escribe: "Fue tan gratificante ver a tanta gente respondiendo a las palabras de Jim. No me extraña, ¡para mí también fue así!".

Wynonna Judd's nerves are clearly settled -- the day after her CMA performance had fans worried about her health, she put on a great show in Texas ... with no apparent issues.

The country singer showed up and showed out for fans Thursday night at the Tobin Center in San Antonio as part of her "Back to Wy" tour.

The crowd seemed to love the show, and more importantly, she didn't seem to be giving anyone a reason to worry -- performing just like she usually does, although she did joke about forgetting some of the words at one point.

As we reported, the same couldn't be said for her performance at the Country Music Association Awards Wednesday night in Nashville ... remember, she joined Jelly Roll for his song, "Need A Favor," but then grabbed a hold of him, seemingly to stay upright.

Jelly made sure to stick by her side throughout their performance, fueling fans' belief something was wrong. After seeing the comments, Wynonna later posted a video chalking up her unsteadiness to nerves getting the best of her.

Los nervios de Wynonna Judd están claramente más asentados el día después de su actuación en los CMA, donde tuvo a los fans muy preocupados por su salud. Anoche dio un gran espectáculo en Texas y sin ningún problema aparente.

La cantante de country se presentó el jueves por la noche en el Tobin Center de San Antonio en el marco de su gira "Back to Wy".

El público parecía encantado con el espectáculo, y lo más importante, ella no dio ninguna señal que pudiera preocupar a alguien, actuando como lo hace normalmente. Aunque bromeó sobre olvidarse algunas de las palabras en un momento dado.

Como informamos, no se puede decir lo mismo de su actuación en los Premios de la Asociación de Música Country (CMA) el miércoles por la noche en Nashville. Recordemos, la cantante se unió a Jelly Roll para cantar la canción "Need A Favor" durante el show, y en un momento dado se agarró de él, al parecer para mantenerse en pie.

Jelly se aseguró de permanecer a su lado durante toda la actuación, alimentando la creencia de los fans de que algo andaba mal con ella. Después de ver los comentarios, Wynonna publicó un video en el que atribuía su inestabilidad a los nervios.

6:20 AM PT -- Wynonna Judd ha visto las críticas y la preocupación de sus fans y publicó de un video para hacerle frente a la situación. Le echa la culpa de todo el asunto a los nervios, diciendo que quería estar en su mejor momento para Jelly Roll. Wynonna dice que simplemente estaba aguantando y estará de vuelta en la carretera la noche del jueves para otro espectáculo.

Wynonna Judd se aferró a Jelly Roll durante su actuación la noche del miércoles en el Country Music Awards y sus fans están preocupados.

La leyenda de la música country subió al escenario con Jelly para cantar a dúo el tema de Jelly, "Need A Favor", en los Premios CMA 2023 en Nashville.

En un momento, Wynonna se acercó a Jelly y le agarró del brazo, dando la impresión de que necesitaba ayuda para mantenerse en pie. No está claro si Wynonna estaba sufriendo algún tipo de problema de salud, pero pudo terminar la canción y abandonar el escenario por su cuenta.

Aun así, sus fans expresaron su preocupación en redes sociales tras ver su inestable actuación. Recordemos que Wynonna perdió a su emblemática madre, Naomi, por suicidio en 2022, por lo que ha pasado por momentos difíciles últimamente.

Un fan escribió en X: "Apenas podía caminar. Estaba dando pasos de bebé".

Otro preguntó: "¿Soy el único preocupado por @Wynonna"?

Una tercera persona observó: "Algo está mal con ella. Espero que esté bien. Wynonna Judd se aferra a Jelly Roll para salvar su vida #CMAawards".

Y un cuarto dijo: "Fue muy bizarro. Me pregunto qué estará pasando. Apenas se movió una vez que se aferró a él".

Sin embargo, hubo buenas noticias, Jelly Roll se llevó a casa el trofeo a "Mejor Nuevo Artista".

¡Felicidades Jelly!

6:20 AM PT -- Wynonna Judd has clearly seen the criticism and worry from her fans, posting a video to address the performance -- she blames the whole thing on nerves, saying she wanted to be at her best for Jelly Roll. Wynonna says she was simply holding on for dear life ... and will be back on the road for another show.

Wynonna Judd clung to Jelly Roll during their performance Wednesday night at the Country Music Awards -- and now her fans are worried something is wrong with her.

The country music legend hit the stage with JR to sing a duet of Jelly's tune, "Need A Favor," at the 2023 CMA Awards in Nashville.

At one point, Wynonna walked over to Jelly and grabbed his arm, giving off the impression she needed help to stay on her feet. It's unclear if Wynonna was experiencing some type of health issue, but she was able to polish off the song and leave the stage on her own.

Still, her fans took to social media and voiced their concerns after watching her seemingly unsteady performance. Remember, Wynonna lost her iconic mother, Naomi, to suicide in 2022, so she's had a rough time lately.

One fan wrote on X, "She could barely walk. She took baby steps."

Another one asked, "Am I the only one concerned for @Wynonna."

A third person observed, "Something is wrong with her. Hope she is ok. Wynonna Judd is holding on to Jelly Roll for dear life #CMAawards."

And a fourth freaked out, "It was seriously bizarre. I wonder what’s going on? She barely moved once she got a death grip on him."

In some good news from the show ... Jelly Roll took home the trophy for "Best New Artist."

Congrats, JR!!

It took just seconds for Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan to talk about Taylor Swift during the CMAs on Wednesday ... and, unfortunately for New York fans, the reference led to a hilarious crack about how terrible the Jets have been this year.

The NFL Hall of Famer and the country music star hosted the annual awards show ... and as part of their roles as anchors, the two gave an opener full of jokes.

Of course, that meant there was definitely a mention of Swift and her new relationship with Travis Kelce ... which then turned into a jab at the 4-4 Jets.

"Luke," Manning said into the mic onstage, "you know the difference between Taylor Swift and the New York Jets?"

"Uh, Taylor can sell out a stadium?" Bryan responded ... before Manning cracked, "You nailed it!"

The barb was met with a mix of laughs and groans -- before Manning chuckled, "I had you do that punchline, Luke, so I wouldn't get in trouble."

The duo's opener also included Peyton singing some country music classics ... as well as a quip about Eli Manning getting a face tattoo in honor of Jelly Roll.

Some of Hollywood's hottest stars flew east to the Big Apple to attend the so-called "Oscars of American Fashion" -- squeezing into their tight outfits that were just smokin'.

Kim Kardashian, Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore and Serena Williams all showed up for Monday night's annual Council of Fashion Designers of America's fashion awards at the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan.

KK was a real head-turner in her black, form-fitting leather dress with silver chains and a cross medallion around her neck.

Hathaway, who hosted the gala, sported a denim corset and full-length denim skirt with classy high heels -- topped off by Bulgari jewels.

Paltrow, Williams and Moore looked just as radiant. Gwyneth chose all-black attire with a stylish dress cut down the center ... Serena also wore all black and appeared ravishing. Moore took the silver route in her flashy gown.

As for the top honorees ... Gwyneth and her Goop brand snagged the CFDA Fashion Award for Innovation, while Serena won the CFDA Fashion Icon Award.

Other celebs also attended the ceremony including ... Martha Stewart, Mary J. Blige, Nina Dobrev, Karlie Kloss, Emma Chamberlain, Winnie Harlow, Nicky Hilton, Naomi Watts, La La Anthony, Lori Harvey and Shay Mitchell.

Algunas de las estrellas más populares de Hollywood volaron hasta la Gran Manzana este lunes para asistir a los llamados "Oscars de la moda americana" y ponerse sus ajustados atuendos, en los que lucieron simplemente seductoras.

Kim Kardashian, Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore y Serena Williams acudieron ayer por la noche a los premios anuales de la moda del Consejo de Diseñadores de Moda de América en el Museo de Historia Natural de Manhattan.

Kim realmente se robó todas las miradas con su vestido negro de cuero, cadenas de plata y una cruz alrededor de su cuello.

Hathaway, quien fue la anfitriona de la gala, lució un corsé vaquero y una falda vaquera con unos elegantes zapatos de tacón, rematados con joyas de Bulgari.

Paltrow, Williams y Moore estaban igual de radiantes. Gwyneth eligió un atuendo totalmente negro con un elegante vestido cortado en el centro. Serena también fue de negro y lucía deslumbrante. Moore optó por el color plata en su llamativo vestido.

En cuanto a los principales homenajeados, Gwyneth y su marca Goop ganaron el Premio CFDA a la Innovación, mientras que Serena ganó el Premio CFDA a Icono de la Moda.

Logan Paul is now a wrestling champion, 'cause the dude just won a major WWE event in Saudi Arabia... which saw him raise a gold belt in glory.

The YouTuber-turned-athlete competed Saturday in WWE's Crown Jewel over in Riyadh against Rey Mysterio ... and he ultimately emerged victorious from after taking a pummeling in the ring.

There was a lot of back and forth between and RM ... and a lot of body slams. In the end, Logan won by "punching" Rey after he jumped toward him from the ropes -- which knocked Rey out cold. The reason ... LP had quickly/stealthily thrown on a pair of brass knuckles.

Once Rey was down, Logan went to pin him ... and he successfully held him for 3 seconds.

It's a big moment for Logan, especially considering he's relatively new to the wrestling biz -- remember, he only officially joined in 2022 ... and now, he's already a straight-up champ. Of course, all this WWE stuff is completely preordained/staged ... so, impressive to a point.

Still, we're sure Logan's stoked about it ... 'cause him winning big now means he'll probably have a long, storied future in the promotion, assuming his body can hold up. All these storylines might be bogus -- but the damage pro wrestlers endure is most certainly real.

FWIW, there's also his boxing career that's running parallel to all this ... and there, too, he's finding quite a bit of success. Remember, he's fresh off a win against Dillon Danis.

Logan Paul es ahora un campeón de lucha libre, porque el tipo acaba de ganar un importante evento de la WWE en Arabia Saudita, donde lo vimos levantar un cinturón de oro en la gloria.

El YouTuber convertido en atleta compitió el sábado en el evento Crown Jewel en Riad contra Rey Mysterio, una de las batallas más atractivas del show, del cual salió victorioso después de recibir una paliza en el ring.

Hubo un montón de idas y venidas entre ambos luchadores, además de un montón de golpes. Al final, Logan ganó tras darle un "puñetazo" con una manopla a Mysterio después de que este saltara hacia él desde las cuerdas. Después de este golpe ilegal, Mysterio quedó noqueado.

Una vez que Rey quedó en la lona, Logan lo cubrió exitosamente en el suelo durante 3 segundos.

Es un gran momento para Logan, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que es relativamente nuevo en el negocio de la lucha libre. Recuerden, que el luchador se unió oficialmente en 2021 y ya es un campeón directo. Por supuesto, todo esto de la WWE está completamente preestablecido /escenificado, así que impresionante hasta cierto punto.

Aun así, estamos seguros de que Logan está muy emocionado porque ganar a lo grande significa que probablemente tendrá un futuro largo y lleno de historia en la promoción. Esto, suponiendo que su cuerpo lo aguanta. Todas estas historias pueden ser falsas, pero el daño que sufren los luchadores profesionales es ciertamente real.

Lo que es importante, Logan Paul también tiene una carrera de boxeo en paralelo, donde también está consiguiendo algunos logros. Recuerden que acaba de ganarle a Dillon Danis.

Some of the biggest names in music were honored at the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Friday night -- as a slew of artists put on memorable performances.

The 38th Annual star-studded event was held at the Barclays Center in NYC and, for the first time, was streamed live on Disney+ to highlight all of this year's winners.

To say the least, the list of inductees was impressive: Missy Elliott, Chaka Khan, Sheryl Crow, George Michael (posthumously), Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine, Kate Bush and The Spinners. Among the evening's entertainers were Rock icons Elton John and Jimmy Page.

Actress Laura Dern kicked off the ceremony, giving the first award to Crow while labeling her a “badass goddess.”

Crow then performed three of her hits, “If It Makes You Happy,” "Strong Enough" and "Everyday." Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks and Peter Frampton each jumped in separately to assist on the songs.

Chaka Khan also put on a mesmerizing show after accepting the "Musical Excellence Award" from R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan.

Chaka played 3 of her famous tunes, “I Feel You,” “Ain’t Nobody” and “I’m Every Woman." H.E.R., Sia and Common joined in to add their soulful voices.

Perhaps the most unforgettable moment was when Willie Nelson was inducted and performed with several other icons -- Crow, Dave Matthews and Chris Stapleton. Nelson and Co. featured a few of his most recognizable songs, “Whiskey River," “Crazy” and “On the Road Again.”

As for George Michael, he, too, was honored in a big way. The late Wham! frontman was dubbed “one of the greatest singers of our time” by his former band member, Andrew Ridgeley.

Miguel, Adam Levine and Carrie Underwood brought down the house with their renditions of Michael's “Careless Whisper,” “Faith” and “One More Try.”

Kate Bush is being ushered into rock and roll history alongside some great artists who'll share the honor ... but they won't share the stage with her, 'cause she's bowing out.

The British singer-songwriter -- who was huge in the '80s, and who recently gained popularity again through "Stranger Things" -- is one of many who are set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Friday night in Brooklyn ... but she seems to be the only one who won't be there in person.

Kate posted a lengthy statement addressing her being included in this year's class, saying she's completely grateful and humbled ... noting her hit song, "Running Up That Hill," put her back in the spotlight again thanks to Netflix.

She writes, "Last year was such a surprisingly successful time for my track ['RUTH'] and I’m sure that a lot of you who’ve voted me in to the RRHOF also drove that track up the charts. Thank you!" Then, she hits everyone with somewhat unsurprising news.

KB adds, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the ceremony tonight, but for me the real honour is knowing that you felt I deserved it." Kate doesn't address why she's bailing -- but she does extend a lot of compliments to the other artists who'll be enshrined ... specifically pointing out Bernie Taupin, Elton John's writing partner, as one who's quite deserving.

The other inductees, aside from the above-mentioned ones, include ... Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners. As far as we can tell, they're all expected to show face ... but unfortunately, Kate's seat will be empty.

Of course, Kate does have a bit of a rep for being elusive/reclusive -- so the fact she's opting out here might not be a total shocker for longtime fans of hers. It's funny ... not even a fan fave like 'ST' could bring her out of her shell. Just goes to show -- Kate stays true!

Latto has a whole lot to celebrate after her track with Jung Kook broke a record for fastest to reach a billion streams on Spotify ... and she told us why she's HYPED about the big news.

We got Latto Wednesday at LAX and congratulated her on the huge accomplishment for "Seven" ... and the one word she used to sum up her reaction to it is "crazy."

Latto says the track's record-breaking success has made her really grateful. She choked up as she told us about recently losing a dear friend, and said she feels this Spotify record is a sign her late pal still has her back from the afterlife.

In terms of what's next, Latto is more than ready to collab with the BTS member on another hit -- saying she's even got something in the works that'd be perfect for Jung Kook.

She also gives a shoutout to his army of fans -- in the U.S. and abroad -- telling us they've been showing her nothing but love and support, and she's all for making them happy again.

Latto tiene mucho que celebrar después de que su canción con Jung Kook rompiera el récord de ser la más rápida en alcanzar los mil millones de streams en Spotify y nos contó lo que se siente vivir semejante éxito.

Nos encontramos a Latto el Miércoles en LAX y la felicitó por el enorme logro de "Seven" y la única palabra que utilizó para resumir su reacción a la misma es "loco".

Latto dice que el éxito de la canción la ha hecho sentirse muy agradecida. Se le heló la sangre al hablarnos de la reciente pérdida de un querido amigo y dijo que siente que este disco de Spotify es una señal de que su difunto amigo todavía la tiene de vuelta desde el más allá.

En cuanto a lo que está por venir, Latto está más que dispuesta a colaborar con el miembro de BTS en otro éxito, e incluso ha dicho que está preparando algo que sería perfecto para Jung Kook.

Ella también da un saludo a su ejército de fans en los EE.UU. y en el extranjero, diciéndonos que han estado mostrando nada más que amor y apoyo y ella esta con todas las ganas de hacerlos felices de nuevo.
