Bling!

La cabeza de George Washington tiene un precio... Porque un mechón original de su famoso cabello está disponible en el mercado.

El primer presidente de los Estados Unidos tenía un mechón de su pelo blanco, que había sido conservado durante siglos, y ahora está a la venta por $45,000.

El mechón de pelo de Washington está atado en una forma ovalada y atado por una caja de cristal, que está envuelto en perlas. También hay un grabado con sus iniciales 'GW' en la parte posterior de la caja.

El cabello fue regalado en su momento a la familia Derby, que mantenía una estrecha relación con George y su esposa Martha.

El pelo de Washington permaneció en la familia Derby durante varias generaciones, pasó de hijo a hijo, y ahora sale al mercado a través de Moments In Time.

Una carta fechada el 15 de agosto de 1873 también está incluida con el mechón del cabello y es parte de la correspondencia entre la familia Derby y otro coleccionista, en el que hablan de las cerraduras.

Recuerden, George Washington supuestamente no llevaba peluca, a diferencia de muchos de sus contemporáneos, y en realidad se empolvaba su propio peinado.

George Washington's got a price on his head ... because a lock of his famous hair is on the open market.

The first president of the United States had a lock of his white hair preserved for centuries ... and now it's up for sale for $45,000.

Washington's hair lock is tied up in an oval shape and bound by a glass case, which is wrapped in pearls. There's also an engraving with his initials 'GW' on the back of the case.

The lock was given to the Derby family back in the day, as the Derbys were close with both George and his wife, Martha.

Washington's hair remained in the Derby family for several generations ... it was handed down from son to son and now it's hitting the open market through Moments In Time.

A letter dated Aug. 15, 1873, is also included with Washington's hair ... it's correspondence between the Derbys and another collector, talking about the locks.

Remember ... GW supposedly didn't wear a wig, unlike many of his contemporaries, and actually powdered his own hairdo.

Jadakiss y The LOX han llevado el nombre de D-Block sobre sus hombros por años, pero ahora el cuello de J-to-the-MUAH llevará también ese peso, gracias a una enorme pieza de diamantes que se suma a su colección.

El famoso joyero Mazza NYC le dice a TMZ Hip Hop, que él y Jada estuvieron coordinando el concepto de su nueva cadena, intercambiando ideas entre sí hasta que llegaron a la receta perfecta.

Dice que crearon tres diseños diferentes antes de decidirse por el producto final con el que sorprendió al legendario rapero a principios de esta semana.

La cadena D-Block y el colgante costaron 200.000 dólares en total, con un peso de casi 1 kilo de oro entre ambas, ¡¡es como si estuviera caminando con un casco de fútbol a tiempo completo!!

El colgante luce más de 60 quilates de esmeralda y diamantes naturales de corte redondo, ligeramente visibles (VS).

La cadena está cargada con la misma calidad de diamantes, 70 quilates en total.

Kiss lleva años acudiendo a Mazza, al igual que otras estrellas del rap de la Costa Este, como Drake, Jim Jones, Dave East y Millyz.

Jadakiss and The LOX have carried the D-Block name on their shoulders for years, but now J-to-the-MUAH's neck will be carrying that weight ... thanks to a humongous new diamond-laced piece!!!

Celebrity jeweler Mazza NYC tells TMZ Hip Hop ... he and Jada coordinated his newest chain's concept by bouncing ideas off each other until they came up with the perfect bling recipe.

He says they created 3 different designs before settling on the bedazzled finished product which he surprised the legendary rapper with earlier this week.

The D-Block chain and pendant cost $200,000 total, with both weighing in at nearly 1 kilo of gold ... it's like he's walking around with a football helmet on full-time!!!

The pendant sports over 60 carats of emerald and round-cut natural diamonds at VS+ clarity.

The chain itself is also loaded with the same quality diamonds ... 70 cts in total.

Kiss has been going to Mazza for years, as have fellow East Coast rap stars Drake, Jim Jones, Dave East and Millyz.

Canelo Alvarez, days away from a historic boxing match against one of the best fighters in the world, has a message for anyone who thinks he's on the decline ... he's STILL the baddest man in the world and Jermell Charlo's going to find out Saturday in Las Vegas!

As you know (hey, it's a seriously big event!), 33-year-old Alvarez is taking on 33-year-old Charlo on Showtime PPV -- pitting two of the world's best against one another -- in a history-making scrap, and TMZ Sports is on the ground in Sin City.

See, it's the first time in the four-belt era that two reigning, undisputed world champions will step in the ring together and slug it out.

FYI, Canelo is the super middleweight (168 lbs.) champ ... the weight class where the bout will go down. Jermell, though taller and with a longer reach, typically fights at a lighter weight, junior middleweight (154 lbs.), where he's the active G.O.A.T.

Both superstars hold the WBO, IBF, WBA, and WBC belts in their respective divisions.

Of course, Alvarez -- the biggest star in the sport and one of the most famous athletes on the planet -- has been a pro for almost two decades, and some people have actually suggested he's lost a step.

We asked Canelo what he'd say to those detractors.

"I feel fresh. I feel in my prime," Alvarez told us without hesitation before revealing he actually fought hurt during his scrap against John Ryder in May.

"I had a little injury on my hand [that was] slowing me down a little bit, but you will see Saturday night," Canelo said.

If Alvarez is victorious, as he clearly believes he will be, he'll become the first fighter in the four-belt era to successfully defend the straps three consecutive times.

But, Canelo isn't the only one with some skin in the game. If Charlo can win going up two divisions, he'll join a pretty legendary group of guys ... Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns and Roy Jones Jr.

How's that for company?! 😅

Alvarez vs. Charlo is just the latest massive fight to be made this year -- all delivered by Showtime Boxing -- joining super fights like Gervonta "Tank" Davis vs. Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence.

There are just three days until the superstar champs -- coming in with eight belts and 94 wins combined -- square off in the squared circle with history on the line.

Don't miss it ... pre-order the event on Showtime PPV!

Canelo Álvarez, a pocos días de un histórico combate de boxeo contra uno de los mejores del mundo, tiene un mensaje para cualquiera que piense que está en declive: ¡todavía es el hombre más rudo del mundo y Jermell Charlo va a descubrirlo el sábado en Las Vegas!

Como ustedes saben (hey, es un gran evento, en serio), Álvarez, de 33 años se enfrenta al también de 33, Charlo en Showtime PPV, en una pelea histórica que tendrá a dos de los mejores del mundo y que TMZ Sports cubrirá desde la ciudad del pecado.

O sea, es la primera vez en la era de los cuatro cinturones que dos campeones mundiales reinantes e indiscutibles subirán juntos al ring y se enfrentarán.

Para su información, Canelo es el campeón del peso supermedio (168 libras), la categoría de peso en la que se celebrará el combate. Jermell, aunque más alto y con mayor alcance, suele pelear en un peso más ligero, medio junior (154 libras), donde es el mejor de todos los tiempos.

Ambas superestrellas ostentan los cinturones de la OMB, la FIB, la AMB y el CMB en sus respectivas divisiones.

Por supuesto, Álvarez, la mayor estrella de este deporte y uno de los atletas más famosos del planeta, lleva casi dos décadas como profesional y algunos han sugerido que ha perdido un poco de ritmo.

Le preguntamos a Canelo qué tiene para decirle a esos detractores.

"Me siento fresco. Me siento en mi mejor momento", nos dijo Álvarez sin dudarlo antes de revelar que en realidad luchó lesionado durante su pelea contra John Ryder en mayo.

"Tuve una pequeña lesión en la mano que me retrasó un poco, pero ya lo verán el sábado por la noche", dijo Canelo.

Si Álvarez sale victorioso, como claramente cree que será, se convertirá en el primer boxeador en la era de los cuatro cinturones en defender con éxito los cinturones tres veces consecutivas.

Pero Canelo no es el único que se juega algo. Si Charlo puede ganar subiendo dos divisiones, se unirá a un grupo bastante legendario de hombres como Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns y Roy Jones Jr.

¡¿Qué tal esa compañía?! 😅

Álvarez vs. Charlo es solo una de las peleas masivas que se han realizado este año, y que ha mostrado Showtime Boxing. Se une a otros súper combates como Gervonta "Tank" Davis  vs. Ryan García y Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence.

Solo faltan tres días para que los campeones con ocho cinturones y 94 victorias combinadas, se enfrenten en el ring.

Aaron Gordon will never forget his iconic poster dunk over Landry Shamet now ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned the NBA star just got the moment memorialized with a crazy iced-out pendant!!!

Gordon's jeweler and good pal Buckz The Jeweler gifted the piece to the Denver Nuggets forward this week ... and it's awesome.

It features a mini Gordon in his No. 50 jersey soaring over a mini Shamet ... with 6.54 carats of VS1 diamonds draped over both characters.

The coolest part of the piece, though, is instead of Gordon dunkin' a basketball, he's holding the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy that he won just a couple months after the Christmas Day 2022 slam.

"This pendant took me and my team 504 hours to bring every last detail to life," Buckz told us. "I knew I had to capture that all-time great moment on a pendant."

Buckz says the piece would typically run his customers somewhere in the area of $20,000 ... but he handed it over to Gordon free of charge as a thank you for believing in him when he was an up-and-comer in the diamond biz.

Buckz tells us ... Gordon came to him for an 18K gold grill last year -- and he'll never forget how the hooper took the chance on him.

An iconic piece of art from Bob Ross' past is up for sale 4 decades after it was made ... and it ain't gonna come cheap.

Bob's painting is titled, "A Walk in the Woods," painted on the first episode of his hit show, "The Joy of Painting" -- where many first discovered his talent.

The piece has Bob's signature in the bottom corner and is listed on Modern Artifact for $9,850,000. People interested can make another offer if they'd like ... but we're assuming it'll sell in that ballpark, given its significance.

Fans of the show know it didn't take Bob long to craft the incredibly detailed oil painting -- his inaugural episode is only 28 minutes long -- but that just goes to show how talented he really was.

As you know, Bob's show debuted in 1983 with this painting, the show aired over 400 episodes on PBS and lasted until 1994, the year before he died due to complications from lymphoma.

His legacy is up there with some of the greats in the world of art, partially thanks to his internet fame long after his death so it's no doubt his first televised painting will make a killing.

Una obra de arte icónica del pasado de Bob Ross está a la venta 4 décadas después de que se hizo y no va a ser barata.

La pintura de Bob se titula, "Un paseo por el bosque", pintado en el primer episodio de su exitoso programa, "La alegría de la pintura" donde muchos descubrieron por primera vez su talento.

La pieza tiene la firma de Bob en la esquina inferior y está listada en Modern Artifact por 9.850.000 de dólares. Las personas interesadas pueden hacer otra oferta si lo desean.

Los fans de la serie saben que no le tomó mucho tiempo a Bob para elaborar la pintura al óleo increíblemente detallada. Su episodio inaugural es de sólo 28 minutos de duración y prueba lo talentoso que era Ross.

Como ustedes saben, el programa de Bob debutó en 1983 con esta pintura, el programa se emitió más de 400 episodios en PBS y duró hasta 1994, un año antes de su muerte debido a complicaciones de linfoma.

Su legado está a la altura de algunos de los grandes del mundo del arte, en parte gracias a su fama en Internet mucho después de su muerte, así que no cabe duda de que su primer cuadro televisado hará fortuna.

Bijou Phillips is showing more signs her divorce from Danny Masterson is more a legal matter, and less a personal one -- because she's still rocking her wedding band.

BP was still wearing her bling Tuesday in Los Olivos, CA ... stepping out of a real estate office the day after she filed papers to start the divorce process.

It's obviously interesting, wearing your ring the day after calling off your nearly 12-year marriage -- and it fuels speculation that the split is purely strategic.

BTW, Los Olivos is in Central California's Santa Ynez Valley, and Bijou and Danny own a home and farmland there.

As we reported, Bijou wrote a letter of support for her husband only weeks ago, ahead of his sentencing of 30 years to life ... pleading for the judge to give him a light sentence, saying he's a "life-saving" father who's always looked out for others.

She also was reportedly wailing in the courtroom when Masterson was found guilty in May, so her turning around and filing for divorce less than 2 weeks later came as a shock ... at least, on a personal level.

Bijou Phillips está dando pistas de que su divorcio con Danny Masterson es una cosa más legal, que personal, ya que todavía la hemos visto luciendo su anillo de bodas.

Este martes en Los Olivos, California, Bijou todavía llevaba su roca en el dedo, al menos cuando la vimos salir de su oficina de bienes raíces, un día después de presentar los papeles para iniciar el proceso de divorcio.

Obviamente es interesante que lleve su anillo un día después de acabar con su matrimonio de casi 12 años, y alimenta la especulación de que la separación es solo estratégica.

Por cierto, Los Olivos se encuentra en el Valle de Santa Ynez, en California Central, donde Bijou y Danny poseen una casa y tierras de cultivo.

Como informamos, Bijou escribió una carta de apoyo a su marido hace solo unas semanas, antes de que este recibiera su sentencia, en la que suplicaba al juez que le diera una sentencia leve, diciendo que es un padre protector, que siempre ha cuidado de los demás.

También se ha informado que Bijou estuvo llorando en la sala del tribunal cuando Masterson fue declarado culpable, por lo que su cambio de opinión y presentación de la demanda de divorcio solo 2 semanas más tarde fue un shock, al menos a nivel personal.

Paul Wall dice que no siempre fue fan de su pelo canoso durante sus días de juventud, pero que ahora está abrazando su nuevo estilo.

TMZ Hip Hop confirmó con el mismo H-Town Grillmaster después de que se hiciera viral gracias a un simple TikTok mostrando su barba grisácea.

Paul nos dice que es algo hereditario. Su abuelo era totalmente canoso desde adolescente. Paul incluso recuerda a Nelly y Ali señalando algunos de sus cabellos en el set de rodaje de video para "Grillz", en 20005, cuando él tenía 20 años. Ahora tiene 42 y está orgulloso de su aspecto.

El aspecto maduro de Paul no ha dañado su reputación entre las generaciones más jóvenes, ya que aparece en una de las canciones más populares del año, "Johnny Dang", de That Mexican OT y Drake acaba de darle un saludo de felicitaciones delante de miles de personas durante su gira "It's All a Blur", ¡¡¡en Houston!!!

Paul realmente le da crédito a OT por resucitar su nombre en el universo del rap y presentarlo a una audiencia de 2023. Él dice que se siente mucho más confiado.

Drake afirmó en el concierto que se está mudando a Houston y seguramente se beneficiará de la buena energía de Paul. Él y su socio Johnny Dang le están ofreciendo a Drake un suministro de por vida de, ¡parrillas personalizadas!

Paul Wall says he wasn't always a fan of his gray hair during his days of youth, but now he's embracing the silver fox lifestyle.

TMZ Hip Hop checked in with the H-Town Grillmaster himself after he went viral thanks to a simple TikTok showing off his frosty beard.

Paul tells us it's hereditary -- his grandfather was fully gray as a teen and Paul even recalls Nelly and Ali pointing out strains of salt and pepper on the set of their 2005 video shoot for "Grillz" when he was in his early 20s. Now, he's 42 and proud of his appearance.

Paul's mature look hasn't hurt his rep with the younger generation ... he's featured on one of the hottest songs of the year in That Mexican OT's "Johnny Dang" and Drake just gave him a shoutout in front of thousands during his "It's All a Blur" tour date in Houston!!!

Paul actually credits OT for resurrecting his rap name and introducing him to a 2023 audience. He says he feels like he has a brand-new battery in his back as a result.

Drake claimed he's moving to Houston at the concert and will surely benefit from Paul's good energy ... he and his partner Johnny Dang are now offering Drake a lifetime supply of custom grills!!!

Karol G estaba destilando diamantes en los VMAs, todo el brillo de su atuendo costaba más de $2 millones, de acuerdo con el joyero que le dio las prendas para la gran noche.

El joyero Eric Mavani le dijo a TMZ que fue contratado para darle todo el bling que necesitaba a la estrella colombiana, que resultó ser MUCHO.

Eric cuenta que la cadena era de unos 90 de quilates, 30 diamantes en forma de pera de color rosa, y 60 diamantes blancos en forma de óvalo. Ese accesorio costaría alrededor de un millón.

Pero eso no es todo... también llevaba un anillo de corazón rosa de 10 quilates valorado en 900.000 dólares y pulseras de 40 quilates que costaban 250.000 dólares cada una. También llevaba unos pendientes de flores azules, blancas y rosas de 10 quilates y 75.000 dólares.

Se dice que el total ascendió a unos 2,5 millones de dólares... y todos esos quilates debieron de ser un amuleto de la suerte, porque se llevó a casa el premio a la mejor colaboración con Shakira.

Karol G was drippin' in diamonds at the VMAs ... all the bling combined was worth north of $2 mil ... according to the jeweler who gave her the goods for her big night.

Celebrity jeweler Eric Mavani tells TMZ ... he was hired to provide Karol with all the bling she needed for Tuesday night's event, which turned out to be A LOT.

Eric The Jeweler says her chain was 90 carats strong -- 30 pink pear-shaped diamonds, and 60 white oval-shaped diamonds. That accessory would set ya back a mil.

But, that's not all ... she also wore a 10-carat pink heart ring worth $900k and 40-carat bracelets costing $250k each. She had on some blue, white, and pink flower drop earrings that are 10 carats and worth $75k.

Were told the grand total was around $2.5M  ... and all those carats must've been a good-luck charm, because she took home the award for Best Collab with Shakira.

Cash Money Records legend B.G. is out of prison -- and his day one CEO Birdman was front and center Tuesday to greet him the moment he got out!!!

The Federal Bureau of Prisons' office tells TMZ Hip Hop the 42-year-old rapper (real name Christopher Dorsey) was successfully transferred to community confinement -- essentially a halfway house -- and is projected to be fully released from custody on July 11, 2024.

The veteran rapper was captured on Birdman's IG live as he embraced him and other friends outside the federal prison in Herlong, California ... where he'd been for the past 11 years.

B.G. was sentenced to 14 years in prison for firearm possession and obstruction of justice back in 2012, and while he's spent many birthdays behind bars ... including his 42nd this past Sunday, he vowed that will be his last in prison.

As a member of the original Hot Boys rap crew with Juvenile, Lil Wayne and Turk, B.G. released several projects with Cash Money, most notably 1999's "Chopper City In The Ghetto" ... which coined the timeless jewelry term "Bling Bling" on the lead single.
