Racing Legend Gil de Ferran Dead at 56 Suffers Heart Attack While Racing Son

Racing legend Gil de Ferran, who won the Indy 500 back in 2003, has died.

Gil was racing his son Luke at Florida's Concourse Club when he had a heart attack. According to another driver, Gil had pulled over because he wasn't feeling well and then the massive heart attack struck.

Efforts made to revive him were unsuccessful.

Gil raced for Team Penske, and the Chairman of the Penske Corp., said, "We are terribly saddened to hear about today’s tragic passing of Gil de Ferran. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Angela, Anna, Luke and the entire de Ferran family. Gil defined class as a driver and as a gentleman. As an IndyCar Champion and an Indianapolis 500 winner, Gil accomplished so much during his career, both on and off the track."

The Chairman went on ... “Gil was beloved by so many. He was a great friend to the Team Penske and IndyCar family, as well as the entire international motorsports community. Gil’s passing is a terrible loss and he will be deeply missed.”

Gil was an accomplished driver who also scored titles in 2000 and 2001.

And there's this distinction ... he holds the closed-course land speed record, clocking in at 241.428 mph.

Gil is survived by his wife, Angela, son Luke and daughter Anna.

He was 56.

RIP

Mark Wahlberg, Rhea Durham Fit to Be Admired!!!

Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham are living proof ... fitness is not a young person's game.

Mark and Rhea have been vacationing in Barbados, along with tons of other celebs.

They have 4 kids together, who came along for the vacay.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Rhea joked about the brood they brought along ... "What do 4 teenagers,1 college kid and one family friend have in common? A free vacation."

They know how to live, that's for sure.

Dak Prescott Gets Custom Air Forces From GF ... Merry Christmas To QB!!!

Dak Prescott's shoe closet got a major upgrade on Christmas thanks to his girlfriend -- 'cause she gifted him a custom pair of Air Force 1s ... that paid homage to their love for each other!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... Sarah Jane -- who's pregnant with the Dallas Cowboys superstar's baby -- reached out to Chesler Customs at the beginning of December to get the one-of-a-kind Nike kicks made for her man for the December holiday.

She asked for them to feature their favorite flower -- a rose -- and she wanted a matching pair for herself too.

The footwear artist was able to get it all done by the 25th -- and as you can see, they came out awesome.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Prescott's pair features a rose in black paint, while Sarah's shoes are adorned in pink ... and Chesler says it all took him about 10 hours to put together.

"It’s an unbelievable feeling for sure," Chesler said of making custom kicks for NFL's potential MVP. "I dreamed of moments like this when I first started customizing shoes. It’s definitely a dream come true!"

The 2x Pro Bowl signal-caller and Sarah -- who's worked in the hospitality industry -- have kept their relationship mostly under wraps ... but recently, they've started opening up about their love for each other on social media.

In fact, the two announced on Thanksgiving weekend that they're expecting their first child together very soon!!

Boosie Badazz Lose Pooh Shiesty Mask, Son ... Real Steppers Might Get Wrong Idea

Boosie Badazz is scolding his oldest child for constantly wearing a ski mask, or a "Pooh Shiesty" as it's known in the streets ... and it's based on concerns for his son's safety.

The Louisiana rapper's fatherly instincts kicked in during an IG livestream session after peeping his son Tootie Raw wearing the mask, for what Boosie claims, was "two days straight."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Boosie says he's from the old school and anyone wearing those masks back in the day was 100% guaranteed to be up to no good.

Pooh Shiesty, who's currently serving a 5-year prison sentence for gun conspiracy charges, popularized the masked-up look when he blew up back in 2020 ... but Boosie doesn't consider it a fashion statement.

He warned Tootie that the right kinda guys might get the wrong impression of him and his friends and they could potentially attack first ... because that's exactly what he would do.

Boosie echoed maturity like this when we spoke to him earlier this year alongside Freeway Rick Ross.

He's planning on ways to steer the youth away from the same culture that got him incarcerated ... and his son is obviously not exempt from the guidelines.

Rihanna & Kyle Richards Meet For First Time on Aspen Shopping Spree ... A$AP And Mauricio Join Too

Rihanna's fangirling just scored her a new BFF ... and it's Kyle Richards!!!

The singer -- who's been open about loving 'Real Housewives' -- finally got to meet Kyle during a shopping trip Thursday in Aspen ... which turned into a stroke of good luck for both of 'em.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Rihanna was shopping at Kemo Sabe -- after hours in a private room, because that's how she rolls -- and that's when Kyle strolled in to do her VIP shopping.

When a store employee mentioned RiRi was there, Kyle asked if they could meet ... and we're told Rihanna excitedly responded, "F*** yes!!!"

After all, our source says the whole reason Rihanna was shopping at Kemo Sabe in the first place was because she'd seen Kyle go there on 'RHOBH.'

We're told Rihanna and Kyle hugged it out and had a fun conversation ... then Mauricio Umansky and their daughters came up and met RiRi and A$AP Rocky.

Both families ended up hanging out inside the store for close to an hour ... and Kyle gifted Rihanna an $895 turquoise beaver hat.

Rihanna and A$AP had their kids in tow too as they did some big-time shopping -- we're told they bought a ton of items, including hats, boots, belts, and buckles ... plus the brown cowboy hat she wore out of the store.

Aspen's full of celebs this time of year, but it's pretty incredible when they run into each other, and they're both such big fans of each other -- like Kyle and Rihanna -- and they're not afraid to show it.

Kyle and Mauricio spending time together with their daughters is also notable ... the estranged couple's been playing nice in Aspen following an awkward day on the slopes and Mauricio's wild partying.

Cardi B llegó al punto de no poder más con sus fans por sus opiniones sobre ella y Offset, ¡¡¡y no le importaron sus cuerdas vocales cuando les gritó a todo pulmón!!!

La última crisis de Cardi ocurrió de la nada este viernes, apenas unos días después de que ella y Offset parecieran haber arreglado las cosas tras ser vistos durante una salida en Nueva York y de disfrutar las fiestas de fin de año con sus hijos toda la semana.

Cardi dejó claro que ella y Offset no habían vuelto a estar juntos cuando fue anfitriona de un chat X, más que todo fue solo ella la que habló a grito pelado.

The latest Cardi meltdown happened Friday ... just days after Cardi and Offset appeared to have patched things up as they were spotted during a NYC outing without their children -- in addition to taking the kids on holiday extravaganzas all week.

Cardi insisted she and Offset had not gotten back together when she hosted an X chatroom ... mostly a one-sided shouting match.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE KIDS

The "Bongos" rapper vowed to unfollow all of her top fans while including her most classic threat ... to delete her social media accounts!!!

Cardi recently liked a post that highlighted how she and Offset were still broken up, but apparently, it fell on deaf ears.

Guess Who This Snowy Kid Turned Into!

Before this happy kid in her winterwear was showin' off her beauty and grace on the catwalk, she was just hittin' the snow with her sisters in St. Louis, cheering at her high school football games and heading off to New York University.

Getting her kick-start in the modeling world at just 13 years old, she's been showcasing her powerful walk around the world ever since. She also hosted the reality competition show "Project Runway," but when she's not on the clock ... she's a devoted momma to her two young kiddos.

Can you guess who she is?

Adivina en quién ¡se ha convertido este niño nevado!

Antes de que esta alegre niña luciera su belleza y su gracia en la pasarela, iba a la nieve con sus hermanas en St. Louis, animaba en los partidos de fútbol de su instituto y estudiaba en la Universidad de Nueva York.

Se inició en el mundo del modelaje con solo 13 años y desde entonces no ha dejado de exhibir su poderosa forma de caminar por todo el mundo. También fue presentadora del reality show "Project Runway", pero cuando no está trabajando, es una madre entregada a sus dos hijos pequeños.

¿Adivinas quién es?

'GENERAL HOSPITAL' STAR STEVE BURTON SETTLES DIVORCE

"General Hospital" star Steve Burton has finalized his divorce ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge signed off the settlement reached by Steve and his now-ex-wife, Sheree Gustin, on Wednesday ... agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children, Jack and Brooklyn.

Steve's paying Sheree $12,500 per month for child support ... $10,000 for 9-year-old Brooklyn and $2,500 for 17-year-old Jack.

When Jack turns 18 at the end of March, Steve's child support obligations to him will go away ... but he’ll continue to fork over the $10K for Brooklyn until she turns 18.

Steve and Sheree also agreed to waive any and all rights to spousal support ... but he's going to pay her $50,000 in $ 2,500-per-month installments.

TMZ broke the story ... Steve filed for divorce in July 2022 after 23 years of marriage, only two months after he claimed Sheree was having a baby and he wasn't the father.

Now, they're officially moving on.

Paul Walker's Daughter Meadow Separates From Husband

Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow, has announced she and her husband are going their separate ways ... coming just a little over 2 years after they tied the knot.

25-year-old Meadow announced the breakup of her and Louis Thornton-Allan Wednesday night, saying online, "We have come to the agreement to amicably separate."

She says the split is "truly a united decision," adding, "We maintain mutual love and respect for one another." Meadow also called her post a "statement from the two of us."

The 2 were spotted shopping in NYC a couple weeks ago ... but it appears those days are behind them.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As we reported, Meadow and Louis got hitched in October 2021 on the sandy beaches of the Dominican Republic ... with Paul's friend and 'Fast and Furious' costar Vin Diesel -- who is Meadow's godfather -- walking her down the aisle.

As you'll recall, Meadow lost her father, Paul, in 2013 when he died in a tragic car crash ... so Vin showing up in his place was truly fitting ... given the racing franchise both Vin and Paul were stars in is built on family.

Their DR wedding came just a few months after announcing their engagement ... which was only a month after they went Instagram official as a couple. Her post doesn't mention a divorce, although that may be on the horizon.

DADDY DUTIES
TMZ.com

Shia LaBeouf was on daddy duty Christmas Eve ... spending some quality time with his daughter Isabel at Universal Studios Hollywood.

With the one-year-old strapped to his back in a baby carrier ... the actor stirred up more excitement running around following a meet and greet with The Grinch.

Fatherhood clearly suits Shia, who was filmed by onlookers grinning ear to ear ... and stopping to chat with people who recognized him.

Shia welcomed Isabel with actress Mia Goth last year ... revealing months later on Jon Bernthal's podcast, "Real Ones," his daughter makes him want to transform into a stand-up guy.

This comes after his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against LaBeouf in 2020 for assault and sexual battery.

The trial date is set for October 2024.

Shia LaBeouf estuvo en modo papá durante la víspera de Navidad, pasando tiempo de calidad con su hija Isabel en Universal Studios Hollywood.

Llevaba a su pequeña de un año sentada en la silla para bebés que tenía sujetada a su espalda. El actor despertó el interés de la gente cuando se le vio corriendo para saludar al Grinch.

La paternidad claramente le sienta bien a Shia, quien fue filmado por los espectadores sonriendo de oreja a oreja y matando dos pájaros de un tiro al detenerse a charlar con la gente que lo reconoció.

Shia le dio la bienvenida a Isabel con la actriz Mia Goth el año pasado, revelando meses más tarde en el podcast de Jon Bernthal, Real Ones, que su hija le hace querer transformarse en un mejor hombre.

Esto se produce después de que su exnovia FKA Twigs presentara una demanda contra LaBeouf en 2020 por agresión y agresión sexual.

La fecha del juicio está fijada para octubre de 2024.

La familia se divierte en Disney
TMZ.com

Kim Kardashian no está dejando que Kanye West sea el único padre que lleva a sus hijos a Disney, pues se llevó a Saint West al parque de diversiones solo un par de semanas después de que North West fuera con su papá.

Kim y Saint fueron a la Casa del Ratón para pasarlo bien el miércoles y TMZ obtuvo un video de ellos subiendo a algunas atracciones en Disney California Adventure Park.

Como se puede ver, Kim y Saint tenían los pies colgando en Silly Symphony Swings, girando alrededor y alrededor mientras sus sillas subían más y más alto.

Saint consiguió que sus zapatos Yeezy no salieran volando y a Kim no se le cayó el móvil. Hey, los dos son profesionales de Disney a estas alturas, al igual que Kanye y North.

Como les hemos contado, North estuvo en Disney con Kanye y su nueva esposa Bianca Censori a principios de este mes, cuando los vimos montando la Mansión Embrujada como una familia feliz.

Kim y Saint están en el otro parque de Disney en Anaheim, y chicos, también tenemos video de ellos haciendo cola para el Incredicoaster, con un par de amigos de Saint de companía.

Pero la gente que estaba allí dice que Kim, Saint y sus amigos se dieron la vuelta y salieron de la cola para la montaña rusa después de unos 10 minutos. Aunque no está claro si el paseo se cerró, uno de los niños no era lo suficientemente alto para entrar o alguien cambió de opinión acerca de subir a la montaña rusa.

En cualquier caso, los hijos de Kim y Kanye siguen disfrutando de sus días en Disney, y será interesante ver qué padre va con Chicago y Psalm.

Kim Kardashian My Turn For Disney Day With Saint ... After Kanye Goes With North

FAMILY FUN AT DISNEY
TMZ.com

Kim Kardashian is not letting Kanye West be the only parent taking their kids to Disneyland ... she's there with Saint West a couple weeks after North West went with her daddy.

Kim and Saint hit up the Mouse House for some Disney fun Wednesday, and TMZ obtained video of them going on some rides at Disney California Adventure Park.

As you can see, Kim and Saint were swept off their feet on Silly Symphony Swings ... twirling around and around as their chairs got higher and higher.

Saint managed to keep his Yeezy shoes from flying off and Kim didn't drop her phone. Hey, they're both Disney pros at this point ... just like Kanye and North.

As we reported ... North was at Disneyland with Kanye and his new wife Bianca Censori earlier this month, when we saw them riding Haunted Mansion as a big happy family.

Kim and Saint are at the other Disney park in Anaheim, and folks we also got video of them getting in line for the Incredicoaster ... with a couple of Saint's buddies in tow.

But, folks who were there say Kim, Saint and his friends turned around and got out of line for the roller coaster after about 10 minutes ... though it's unclear if the ride shut down, one of the kiddos wasn't tall enough or someone had a change of heart about going on the coaster.

In any event, Kim and Kanye's kids are still getting their Disney days in ... and it will be interesting to see which parent goes with Chicago and Psalm.

Cher Files For Conservatorship Over Son Elijah He's Not Competent to Manage His finances

Cher doesn't seem to trust her son Elijah to make sound financial decisions right now ... so the singer-songwriter has filed for a conservatorship to control access to his money.

In documents filed Wednesday, Cher claims her 47-year-old son is "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."

The documents state Elijah is entitled to regular payouts from a trust set up by his late father, legendary musician Gregg Allman, but Cher is concerned the money will immediately go toward drugs rather than basic living necessities.

The 77-year-old singer argues that she, as Elijah's mother, is in the best position to serve as conservator and also notes two of Elijah's siblings have nominated her to fill the role.

She also takes a dig at Elijah's estranged wife, Marieangela King, who she says is undermining Elijah's attempts at getting the mental health and substance abuse help he needs.

As we previously reported ... Marieangela accused Cher of kidnapping Elijah to force him into rehab last year, a claim Cher has unequivocally denied.

The court set a hearing date for March 6, 2024, to determine whether Cher will become conservator of his estate.
