Taylor Swift pospuso su segundo show en Brasil este fin de semana después de que un fan muriera el día anterior. Todo ello, en medio de temperaturas demasiado abrasadoras, que ella considera son muy peligrosas.

La estrella del pop anunció la decisión el sábado, no mucho de que se subiera al escenario del Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos de Río de Janeiro, donde actuó el viernes y una admiradora perdió la vida antes de la apertura del telón.

Taylor dice que está haciendo una pausa para su actuación de esta noche, la segunda de las tres paradas que tiene programadas en Brasil, y dice que la seguridad de sus fans es lo primero.

Ella dice: "Estoy escribiendo esto desde mi camerino en el estadio. Se ha tomado la decisión de posponer el espectáculo de esta noche debido a las temperaturas extremas de Río. La seguridad y el bienestar de mis fans, mis compañeros de actuación y equipo tiene que ser y siempre será lo primero".

No se sabe si la estrella del pop seguirá adelante con el show del domingo. Se espera que Río alcance una temperatura máxima de 84 grados (F), comparados con los 90 (F) de hoy. Ayer llegó a 88 con alta humedad.

Por supuesto, Taylor está siendo elogiada por esta decisión, ya que muchos se preguntaban cómo podría seguir adelante después de la tragedia de ayer viernes que también abordó con una sentida carta. Dijo que tenía el corazón roto, pero también que no hablaría de ello sobre el escenario.

El hecho de que procediera con su show y no abordara la muerte de su fan,  a pesar de que ya lo había hecho en línea, no le sentó bien a algunos y parece Taylor y su equipo se dieron cuenta, optando sabiamente por posponer.

Parece que incluso antes de que Taylor se enterara de la muerte del fan -que se ha especulado que fue por un golpe de calor de algún tipo- ya se sospechaba que algo andaba mal. Hay imágenes de ella en el show del viernes exigiendo que les dieran agua a los fans.

The last time we spoke to Bobby, he told us NE was "forever" and they take pride in everything they do ... looks like nothing's changed on that front!!!

The festivities kick off on February 28 with tickets going on sale Friday.

Kourtney Kardashian is a mommy once again -- she and her boo, Travis Barker, have welcomed a brand new bundle of joy after a scary rollercoaster of a pregnancy.

Kourtney gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles, sources confirm to TMZ.

TMZ broke the story -- there were strong signs KK had popped this week ... as Kylie and Travis were both spotted at Cedars-Sinai Thursday, and were possibly there earlier.

As we reported, Kourt first dropped the baby bombshell at Travis' Blink-182 concert in June ... showing off her baby bump at BMO Stadium in L.A. while holding a sign that says, "Travis, I'm Pregnant," a reference to the group's music video for "All the Small Things."

Things took a scary turn for the couple in early September when Kourtney needed emergency surgery to save the child's life. At the time, Travis was in Europe traveling with Blink-182, and he rushed back to be by Kourtney's side. Thankfully the surgery was successful.

Kourtney and Travis had a major Disney-themed baby shower for their kid not long after that health scare -- and all seemed to be well at the shindig ... with everyone celebrating. The big takeaway from that get-together, however, was the fact that the baby's name might've leaked. Remember, somebody threw up a tree ornament that referenced "Baby Rocky."

As it turns out ... that is their child's name -- Travis confirmed as much this past week ... saying their boy will be called Rocky Thirteen Barker. A little anticlimactic, but there you go!

The live concert pregnancy announcement came a little over a year after they got hitched at a Santa Barbara courthouse ... which was followed up with a massive wedding in Italy where they exchanged vows at Dolce & Gabbana's private villa before heading to a medieval castle for their reception.

Since the big announcement, the lovebirds have been looking happier than ever while waiting for the baby to come ... doing a couple of drummer-themed photoshoots with the bump on full display.

She also showed off her pregnancy glow on a Hawaiian beach in July during a tropical trip.

In case ya forgot, Kourtney's already a mother to 3 kids -- Mason, Penelope, and Reign, all of whom she shares with her ex, Scott Disick. Travis also shares Landon and Alabama with Shanna Moakler.

BTW, Kourtney shared her struggles with IVF in recent years, saying on her family's show that her experience with the process has been "awful."

Congrats!!!

¡Kourtney Kardashian es madre una vez más! La mayor de las Kardashians y Travis Barker acaban de darle la bienvenida a su pequeño, después de un embarazo que se sintió como una montaña rusa de miedo.

Kourtney dio a luz a un niño en Los Ángeles, según fuentes confirmadas por TMZ.

TMZ publicó la historia, había fuertes indicios de que Kourtney había dado a luz, como por ejemplo, que tanto Kylie como Travis fueron vistos en el hospital Cedars-Sinai el jueves, y posiblemente estaban desde allí antes.

Como informamos, Kourtney dio a conocer la noticia de su embarazo en el concierto de Blink-182 de Travis en junio, mostrando su panza en el estadio BMO en Los Ángeles mientras sostenía un cartel que decía: "Travis, estoy embarazada", una referencia al video musical de la canción "All the Small Things".

Las cosas se pusieron feas a principios de septiembre, cuando Kourtney tuvo que ser operada de urgencia para salvar la vida del niño. En ese momento, Travis estaba en Europa viajando con Blink-182, y se apresuró a regresar para estar al lado de Kourtney. Afortunadamente, la cirugía fue un éxito.

Kourtney y Travis tuvieron una gran fiesta temática de Disney para su hijo no mucho después de ese susto, y todo pareció ir muy bien en la fiesta, con todos celebrando.

La gran sorpresa de la reunión fue que el nombre del bebé se filtró, luego de que alguien dejara un adorno en unos de los árboles que decía "Baby Rocky". Resultó ser que ese era el nombre de su hijo. Travis lo confirmó la semana pasada, diciendo que el bebé se llamaría Rocky Trece Barker. ¡Un poco anticlimático, pero ahí lo tienes!

El anuncio del embarazo llegó un poco más de un año después de que la pareja se casara en un juzgado de Santa Bárbara, lo que fue seguido con una boda masiva en Italia, donde intercambiaron votos en la villa privada de Dolce & Gabbana antes de dirigirse a un castillo medieval para su recepción.

Desde el gran anuncio, los tortolitos se han visto más felices que nunca a la espera del bebé, haciendo un par de sesiones de fotos temáticas con la panza de Kourtney en plena exhibición.

Kourtney también mostró su embarazo en una playa de Hawai en julio durante un viaje tropical.

En caso de que se hayan olvidado, Kourtney ya es madre de 3 niños, Mason, Penelope y Reign, todos los cuales comparte con su ex, Scott Disick. Travis también comparte a Landon, Alabama y Atiana con Shanna Moakler.

Por cierto, Kourtney compartió sus luchas con la fecundación in vitro en los últimos años, diciendo en el programa de su familia que su experiencia con el proceso había sido "horrible."

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross allegedly roughed up his girlfriend, broke her stuff ... and then knifed her Mercedes during an altercation that led to his arrest last week.

The allegations are all spelled out in newly released court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports.

In the docs -- an affidavit -- prosecutors say cops told them the incident between Ross and his girlfriend happened in Johnson County, Kansas on Oct. 23 ... after the football player allegedly found out the woman had been cheating on him.

According to the documents, the woman told cops that after Ross viewed her phone ... he got in her face, pushed her, threw her to the floor, and then began throwing objects at her. The docs say the woman was seen with "a small scratch" on her hand following the incident.

Officials say the woman also told cops Ross broke several of her items during the confrontation, including jewelry, a cell phone, a laptop and her Mercedes key.

The docs also note that two neighbors say they witnessed Ross push the woman ... as well as "run a knife across" the woman's vehicle.

According to the docs, however, Ross told cops he had thrown the woman's stuff out the door after he found out she was cheating him. He allegedly admitted to breaking a computer -- though he claimed it was his. He denied breaking anything else that belonged to the woman, the docs state.

As we reported, Ross was ultimately arrested over the allegations and charged with one count of domestic battery with no priors as well as one count of criminal damage of less than $1,000. He pleaded not guilty to the charges at a hearing on Oct. 24. He's due to appear before a judge once again on Dec. 4.

As for his football career, he was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List on Oct. 27, which means he's not currently allowed to play in games or practice with the Chiefs ... though he can still attend meetings and get any necessary medical treatment while his criminal case plays out.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is not going to the moon, instead he appears headed for prison ... he's been found guilty on all counts against him in his federal cryptocurrency fraud case.

Federal law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... a jury in New York City convicted the disgraced "Crypto King" on all seven counts of fraud, money laundering and conspiracy ... the latest development in one of the largest financial fraud cases in U.S. history.

The jury verdict came back Thursday ... SBF was found guilty on two counts of wire fraud conspiracy, two counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering ... each carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence.

Sam was also convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit commodities fraud ... each carries a maximum 5-year prison sentence.

All told, SBF is facing up to 110 years behind bars.

Our sources say after the guilty verdict came down, Sam appeared despondent and sort of upset ... starting to tear up.

Following the weeks-long trial, all 12 jurors were in agreement on convicting SBF on each of the 7 charges.

As we reported ... Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas back on Dec. 12 before federal prosecutors in New York hit him with a slew of charges.

SBF was accused of taking billions of dollars in FTX customer deposits and using the money to fund investments, make political donations and buy luxury real estate.

FTX was once one of the world's biggest crypto exchanges, being valued at $30 billion before ultimately becoming insolvent and filing for bankruptcy.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis, el hombre presuntamente responsable del asesinato de Tupac Shakur hace más de 25 años, finalmente tuvo su día en la corte después de dos retrasos.

Keefe D estuvo presente y esposado el jueves por la mañana en un tribunal del Condado de Clark, en Las Vegas, para hacer frente a su cargo de asesinato, del cual se declaró no culpable después de que le designaran a un defensor público.

Como informamos, el sospechoso de 60 años de edad se presentó por primera vez en la corte a principios de octubre, pero su abogado nunca apareció retrasando la lectura de cargos un par de semanas. La segunda audiencia se retrasó por el mismo motivo.

Después de la audiencia inicial, el fiscal del distrito Steve Wolfson dijo que se esperaba que Keefe se declarara no culpable del cargo de asesinato con uso de un arma mortal.

Recuerden, Keefe D fue detenido a fines de septiembre y las imágenes captadas en cámara lo muestran bastante calmado mientras es llevado a la parte trasera del carro policial.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the man who's allegedly responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur over 25 years ago finally got his day in court after 2 delays.

Keefe D was present and in handcuffs Thursday morning at a Clark County courtroom in Las Vegas to face his murder charge ... he pled not guilty after being appointed a public defender.

As we reported, the 60-year-old suspect first showed up in court at the beginning of October, but his lawyer never appeared ... delaying the arraignment a couple of weeks. The second hearing was again delayed for the same issue.

After the initial hearing, Clark County D.A. Steve Wolfson said Keefe was expected to plead not guilty to the charge of murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

Remember, Keefe D was arrested near the end of September -- and the body cam footage of the arrest showed him acting pretty calmly while being put in the back of the cop car.

La muerte de Matthew Perry seguirá siendo un misterio por ahora, ya que las autoridades están esperando a que se realicen algunas pruebas clave antes de pronunciarse definitivamente sobre cómo murió.

La Oficina del Médico Forense del Condado de Los Angeles acaba de publicar sus conclusiones sobre una autopsia inicial del difunto actor de "Friends", y están aplazando su causa de la muerte a la espera de los resultados de toxicología y una mayor investigación, que podría tomar semanas para completarse.

Tampoco han informado el motivo de la muerte, aunque nuestras fuentes nos han dicho que no hay rastros de actividad sexual y no se encontraron narcóticos ilícitos en el lugar.

El único detalle destacable del informe de la autopsia es que se indica que murió en su domicilio y que el cuerpo está listo para ser entregado a la familia para su entierro o cremación. Una investigación sobre las circunstancias de su muerte está en marcha con la aplicación de la ley.

TMZ publicó la noticia, los primeros en responder se apresuraron a su propiedad por una llamada de paro cardíaco y Matthew fue encontrado sin respuesta en su bañera de hidromasaje, esto después de un aparente ahogamiento. La secuencia exacta de los acontecimientos no está clara, pero finalmente fue declarado muerto en el lugar.

Como informamos, Perry estuvo jugado al pickleball el sábado por la mañana durante un par de horas antes de volver a casa y enviar a su asistente a hacer un recado. Un rato después, el asistente regresó, descubrió a su jefe y luego llamó al 911.

No hace falta decir que el fallecimiento de Matthew envió ondas de choque en todo Hollywood. Teniendo en cuenta su historial con el abuso de sustancias, se ha especulado que podría estar en juego, pero hasta ahora, no hay ninguna indicación de que ese sea el caso.

Los profesionales médicos van a esperar para ver lo que estaba en su sistema en al momento de su muerte, mientras tanto, todos sus fans y seres queridos pueden recordarlo con cariño.

Matthew Perry's death will remain a mystery for now -- because officials are waiting for some key tests to be done before weighing in definitively on how he died.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office just published their findings on an initial autopsy of the late "Friends" actor -- and they're deferring his cause of death ... pending toxicology results and further investigation, which could take weeks to complete.

They're also not indicating the manner of death at this point ... although our sources have told us no foul play is suspected, and no illicit narcotics were found on the premises.

The only other notable detail from his autopsy report is that they note he died at his residence -- and that his body is now ready to be released to his family for burial/cremation. A probe into the circumstances of his death is underway with law enforcement.

TMZ broke the news ... first responders rushed to his property on a cardiac arrest call, and Matthew was found unresponsive in his hot tub ... this after an apparent drowning. The exact sequence of events is unclear, but he was eventually declared deceased on the scene.

Like we told you ... MP had played pickleball Saturday morning for a couple hours before returning home and sending his assistant on an errand. Sometime later, the assistant returned, discovered his boss ... and then called 911.

It goes without saying ... Matthew's passing sent shockwaves throughout Hollywood. Considering his history with substance abuse, there's been speculation that could be at play -- but so far, there's no indication that's in fact the case.

Medical professionals are going to wait to see what was in his system at the time of his death -- in the meantime, all his fans and loved ones can do is mourn.

No word yet on funeral plans ... but we imagine a major celebration of life is coming soon.

Robert Card, el hombre acusado de iniciar un tiroteo masivo en Maine, en el que murieron al menos a 18 personas y más de una docena salió herida, fue hallado sin vida y con una herida de bala autoinfligida.

El cuerpo de Card acaba de ser encontrado en el bosque en Maine y se espera que los funcionarios compartan más detalles en una conferencia de prensa programada para las 7 PM PT.

Como informamos, estaba en marcha una persecución para encontrar al hombre de 40 años, después de que abriera fuego en un bowling y un bar en Lewiston el miércoles por la noche. Algunas de las personas que estaban en el bowling eran parte de una liga de bolos juvenil.

El tiroteo del miércoles por la noche quedó registrado como uno de los 10 tiroteos masivos más mortíferos en la historia de Estados Unidos.

Una orden de refugio en el lugar estaba en efecto después del tiroteo masivo. La gobernadora de Maine, Janet Mills, había instado a los residentes a no acercarse a Card si lo veían. También se habían cerrado los colegios de la zona mientras continuaba el operativo.

Se informó que el reservista del Ejército de EE.UU., Robert Card era instructor de armas de fuego con 20 años de experiencia militar. Había trabajado como especialista en suministro de petróleo, sin despliegues de combate. Se había alistado en 2002.

Según varios medios de comunicación, el sospechoso había dicho que recientemente que escuchaba voces e incluso había amenazado con disparar a una base de la Guardia Nacional en Saco, Maine. También se informó de que fue internado en una institución mental este verano, pero fue puesto en libertad después de un par de semanas.

Robert Card -- the man accused of going on a shooting spree in Maine, killing at least 18 people and injuring over a dozen more -- has been found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Card's body was just found in the woods in Maine and officials are expected to share more details in a news conference scheduled for 7 PM PT.

As we reported, a manhunt was underway for 40-year-old Card after he opened fire at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, Maine Wednesday night ... with some of the people at the bowling alley being a part of a youth bowling league.

Wednesday night's shooting is now infamously cemented as one of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in American history.

A shelter-in-place order was in effect following the mass shooting, with Maine Governor Janet Mills urging residents not to approach Card if they saw him. Schools in the area were also shut down as the hunt continued.

The U.S. Army Reservist is reportedly a trained firearms instructor with 20 years of military experience, working as a petroleum supply specialist in the Reserve with no combat deployments -- enlisting in 2002.

According to multiple media outlets, he recently reported hearing voices and had even threatened to shoot up a National Guard Base in Saco, ME. He also was reportedly committed to a mental institution this summer but was released after a couple of weeks.

Northwestern State University has canceled its football team's season following a player's tragic death.

The school announced the move on Thursday ... just 14 days after junior safety Ronnie Caldwell was shot and killed near NSU's campus in Louisiana.

The university said in a statement "the mental health and wellbeing of its student-athletes" was the "primary reason" for the decision.

"While our instinct was to return to the field of play following [Caldwell's] death," NSU President Dr. Marcus Jones said, "we've since learned that the hurt on our team was too deep. Now it is in the best interest of our players, coaches, and staff to pause and to take this time to mourn, to heal, and to support Ronnie's family."

The team canceled its Oct. 14 game against Nicholls State immediately after Caldwell's death, but it suited up for its game against Southeastern Louisiana a week later. It lost the contest, 37-20, but players and coaches all honored Caldwell during the matchup.

The team had four more games remaining on its schedule before Thursday's decision to forego the rest of the year was made.

Meanwhile, NSU head coach Brad Laird revealed he was resigning from his position after holding it for the past six years ... saying he was heartbroken over Caldwell's passing.

"Due to the loss of Ronnie and the emotional burden it has caused me, I don't feel I can give my all to these players or this program," Laird said. "Any coach will tell you that their players become like family, so the loss of Ronnie was like losing a son. I love this program and this university and I know it will persevere and move forward with the competitive spirit that is at the core of our DNA."

Caldwell had appeared in 11 games last season for NSU, but hadn't suited up this season due to a preseason injury.

Drake can now claim he's a King too -- à la Michael Jackson or Elvis -- because he's hit a milestone ... the Recording Industry Association of America says he's sold more single units than anyone. Ever. In history.

Mr. Morgan, Drake's OVO Sound President, made the surprise reveal amid Drizzy's 37th birthday celebrations ... the Canadian rapper is the first artist in RIAA history to surpass 200 million units, and he did it convincingly -- his tally now stands at 220 mil!!!

Some of the biggest wins on his leger include the 2011 album "Take Care," and 2013 smash hit "Started From the Bottom" ... as both inch toward diamond plaques at 8x platinum.

BTW ... RIAA single units include purchases of records, permanent downloads and streams -- all categories Drake regularly crushes with every new release. OIder acts like Elvis, The Beatles and even MJ sold millions upon millions of records ... but Drake tends to beat them by a country mile on digital downloads and streams.

Translation: It's good to be the King.

Another cool stat ... his alt-left dance album, "Honestly, Nevermind" officially cements that all his studio releases have sold at least one million units.

Two tracks from his new album, the J. Cole-featured, "First Person Shooter" and Yeat-featured, "IDGAF" currently sit in the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10 also.

With a catalog this prosperous, it's no wonder Drake is comfortable entering a hiatus from music soon ... to deal with the stomach issues he says are causing him grief.

6:11 AM PT -- We're told Jaidyn Alexis is signed to BuVision for a single through a joint venture with Columbia Records ... in other words, expect her biggest record yet.

Blueface's fiancée Jaidyn Alexis is now in a position to make her own splash in the music biz ... inking a record deal.

The newly engaged couple popped champagne Tuesday and toasted the immediate future -- Jaidyn signed a deal with Columbia Records.

The rookie rapper signed several pages of contracts with Blue by her side. A rep for the label also confirmed with TMZ Hip Hop the move was no publicity stunt.

Jaidyn just started hitting the booth this year but has remained dedicated to the craft.

Following BF's Vegas arrest last year, Jaidyn bailed him out and was ordered straight to the studio to get her skills up.

Her last string of music videos have amassed several million views each ... just the type of motion a record label like Columbia is looking for in this social media era.

BF's other baby mom, Chrisean Rock has been making waves herself on the indie circuit, most notably with her viral "Mr. Take Ya B*tch" collab with Lil Mabu.

Congrats to Jaidyn.

Georgetown women's basketball head coach Tasha Butts has tragically died following a battle with breast cancer, the school announced Monday.

She was just 41 years old.

In revealing the heartbreaking news, school president John J. DeGioia called her death "a devastating loss."

"She was extraordinary," DeGioia said. "Tasha was a person of character, determination, vision, and kindness. She will be deeply missed by our community and by so many people around the country who have been inspired by her life."

Butts starred on the court at Tennessee from 2000 to 2004 -- playing forward for Pat Summit ... before she was picked by the Minnesota Lynx in the second round of the 2004 WNBA Draft.

She eventually got into coaching following her one season in the league, beginning as an assistant with Duquesne in 2007. She later coached for LSU and UCLA, before landing a promotion to the associate head coach role at Georgia Tech in 2021.

She found a ton of success as the leader of the Yellow Jackets, this despite being diagnosed with breast cancer during the 2021 season ... and in April, she was named Georgetown's head coach.

She stepped away from the team last month, however, to continue her fight with cancer.

"When I met Tasha, I knew she was a winner on the court, and an incredible person whose drive, passion and determination was second to none," Georgetown AD Lee Reed said. "She exhibited these qualities both as a leader and in her fight against breast cancer. This is a difficult time for the entire Georgetown community, and we will come together to honor her memory."

The school announced Darnell Haney will be the interim head coach for this upcoming season. It also said Monday it and the Big East will continue to raise funds and breast cancer awareness through her "Tasha Tough" initiative.
