El número de comedia de Natasha Leggero se convirtió en un strip tease desnuda en el Hollywood Improv la semana pasada después de que se quitara la ropa y le mostrara sus tetas a la multitud.

Según Leggero y un video impactante obtenido por TMZ, así es como fue el espectáculo.

Natasha subió al escenario del Improv el miércoles por la noche después de que el cómico Bert Kreischer arrasara con su primera actuación de la noche, la cual que incluía arrancarse la camisa y contar chistes desnudo de cintura para arriba. Al público le encantó.

Así que a Leggero se le ocurrió la idea de copiar la actuación de Bert con el torso desnudo, ya que era un número muy difícil de seguir. Lo dijo así: "Si los chicos pueden hacerlo, ¿por qué no las chicas?". Buena observación, Natasha.

Pero Leggero mantuvo su plan en secreto porque quería seguir su instinto y no quería que nadie intentara disuadirla.

Después de que su amigo Bert triunfó en el escenario por segunda vez, presentó a Natasha para la siguiente vuelta, mientras desfilaba con la camiseta puesta.

Ahora, aquí es donde las cosas se pusieron realmente interesantes, ya que la cámara se encendió y comenzó a grabar.

Échale un vistazo, Natasha está haciendo un baile sexy delante de todos ya que son completamente ajenos a lo que está a punto de suceder. Primero se quita la chaqueta, luego los tirantes del mono y después la camiseta, dejando completamente al descubierto sus pechos desnudos.

Todo el lugar se vuelve loco, especialmente los tíos del público. De hecho, uno de ellos grita: "¡Santo cielo!".

Leggero se echa hacia atrás la chaqueta para cubrirse las tetas antes de sumergirse en su número cómico mientras el clip se corta.

El divertido show de Natasha fue parte del evento Comedy Rocks de Skyler Stone en el Improv, que también contó con varios otros comediantes de primera como David Spade y Tiffany Haddish.

Comedian Natasha Leggero Turns Comedy Act Into Naked Strip Show ... Caught On Video!!!

NATASHA IN THE NUDE
TMZ.com

Natasha Leggero's comedy act turned into a naked strip tease at the Hollywood Improv last week after she tore off her clothes and flashed her knockers to a packed crowd!

According to Leggero and a shocking video obtained by TMZ, here's how the X-rated show went down:

Natasha hit the stage at the Improv Wednesday night after funnyman Bert Kreischer crushed it with his first performance of the night, which included ripping off his shirt and telling jokes naked from the waist up. The audience loved it, eating up Bert's performance.

So, Leggero came up with the idea to copy Bert's bare-chested routine since he was such a hard act to follow. She put it this way, "If the boys can do it, why can't the girls?" Good point, Natasha!

But, Leggero kept her plan a secret because she wanted to go with her gut and didn't want anyone to try to talk her out of it.

After her friend Bert killed it on stage a second time, he introduced Natasha for her next go-around, as she paraded out in her overalls with her top on.

Now, this is where things got really interesting as the camera was turned on and started recording.

Check it out ... Natasha is doing a sexy dance in front of everyone as they are completely oblivious to what's about to happen. She first removes her jacket, then the straps to her overalls and then her shirt, completely exposing her bare breasts.

The whole place goes NUTS, especially the dudes in the audience. In fact, one guy screams, "Holy s—t!!"

Leggero throws back on her jacket to cover her boobs before diving into her comedy act as the clip cuts off.

Natasha's funny peep show was part of Skyler Stone's Comedy Rocks event at the Improv, which also featured several other A-list comedians, such as David Spade and Tiffany Haddish.

Safe to say Natasha was the runaway crowd favorite. Sorry Bert and all the rest!

Jacob Elordi bromea en 'SNL' sobre la escena de sexo En la tumba de "Saltburn"

Jacob Elordi tomó las riendas de 'SNL' el sábado por la noche y su monólogo, como era de esperar, comenzó con LA escena de sexo de "Saltburn".

SPOILER: El personaje de Jacob, Felix, muere y el personaje de Barry Keoghan tiene sexo en su tumba.

Jacob fue directo al grano: "Si viste la película, gracias. Si viste la película con tus padres, lo siento. Si viste la película con tu novia, de nada".

NBC

El actor australiano, que dio el puntapié inicial al primer "SNL" del año, respondió a las preguntas del público/cast, incluida una en la que le preguntaron por esa escena "asquerosa" de su película. El pobre Jacob pensó que se refería a "Saltburn", pero en realidad se refería a "The Kissing Booth".

No hay rastro de Olivia Jade durante el show, pero fue vista en un afterparty. Los dos han estado saliendo desde finales de 2021 y alla estuvo allí durante los ensayos.

Jacob está de buena racha, aparte de "Saltburn" y "Kissing Booth", protagonizó "Priscilla" el año pasado. También protagoniza "He Went That Way", que fue lanzado a principios de este mes.

Jacob Elordi Host 'SNL' That 'Saltburn' Sex Scene on My Grave is Super Hot!!!

Jacob Elordi took over the reins at 'SNL' Saturday night, and his monologue predictably began with THAT "Saltburn" sex scene.

SPOILER -- Jacob's character, Felix, dies and Barry Keoghan's character has sex on his grave.

Jacob got straight to the point ... "If you saw the movie, thank you. If you saw the movie with your parents, I'm sorry. If you saw the movie with your girlfriend, you're welcome."

TAKE A WHIFF OF THIS!!!

The Aussie actor, who kicked off the first "SNL" of the year, took questions from the audience/cast, including one where he was asked about that "gross" scene in his movie. Poor Jacob thought it was about "Saltburn," but she was actually referring to "The Kissing Booth."

No sign of Olivia Jade during the show ... but she was spotted at an afterparty ... the two've been dating since the end of 2021. She was there during rehearsals.

Jacob's on quite the run ... aside from "Saltburn" and "Kissing Booth," he starred in "Priscilla" last year. He also stars in "He Went That Way," which was released earlier this month.

Beverly Johnson Hotel Drained Pool After I Swam ... Found Out Years Later

Beverly Johnson's opening up about racism she says she faced during her career ... but one moment's kinda new to her -- despite happening about 40 years ago.

The 71-year-old -- who became the first Black model on the cover of Vogue almost 50 years ago -- revealed she once went swimming at a hotel ... and they drained the pool after she hopped out.

Here's the deal ... BJ told Page Six she pulled up to Eileen Ford's 90th birthday party back in 2012 -- about two years before EF died -- and her friends were talking about the old days when someone asked if she remembered a certain hotel draining the pool back in the '80s.

Bev says she was shocked -- she had no idea that happened way back when ... and though she didn't know about it back then, she's sure it was racism. FYI, Johnson won't name the hotel ... saying she's not looking to get sued.

The mother-of-one added tons of stuff like that would happen to her in the modeling world just because of her skin color ... she didn't elaborate with Page Six, but her 2015 memoir 'The Face That Changed It All' and her 2020 op-ed about persistent racism in the industry both hit on other instances.

Another interesting part of the interview -- Beverly revealed model Lauren Hutton always went to bat for her when it came to modeling opportunities.

Johnson said LH would "go to photo shoots and say out loud, ‘Why isn’t Beverly on the cover of magazines? She is just as pretty,'" adding that Lauren was the "it girl" at the time, so her words meant something ... basically get you a friend like Lauren Hutton!

BTW ... Beverly's doing press to promote her new one-woman show coming to Off-Broadway titled "Beverly Johnson In Vogue." She seems pretty jazzed about it -- just look how excited she was when we caught up with her in NYC.

Meek Mill Asks How Africans Stream Music ... X Unites Against Him

Meek Mill must be feeling a lot like one of his songs right now ... because his day is "Going Bad" -- after he asked what seemed an innocent question on X.

The Philly-born rapper took to the social media network formerly known as Twitter Saturday morning where he asked his followers if he's big on other continents ... specifically Africa.

MM asked, "Do a lot of people play my music in South Africa I remember having on big show [there a] few years back … how do yall listen to our music in South Africa???? On what platform or in Nigeria?"

A seemingly innocuous question ... Meek's probably not super well-versed on how other countries and cultures consume music -- but the internet gave him no mercy and instead relentlessly roasted the man.

Check out the Meek Mill trend on Twitter to see what we're talking about ... the guy's getting mercilessly mocked over this tweet -- with many seemingly calling Meek out for insinuating Africa isn't technologically advanced.

Mill ain't letting the haters bother him though ... instead following up that tweet with another saying he's trying to figure out where his fans in Africa are located so he can put on a show for them.

Richard Simmons Dramatic Turnaround Over Pauly Shore Biopic Wishes Pauly 'Good Luck!'

RICHARD SENDS HIS BEST!!!
TMZ.com

Well, this is crazy ... just days after Richard Simmons seemed pissed Pauly Shore was doing an unauthorized biopic on his life, RS now seems to be giving the thumbs up to the project.

TMZ obtained this video from the Sundance Film Festival Friday night, where Pauly got onstage to introduce the short film that will eventually become the full movie version of Richard's life.

He began by telling the crowd Richard texted him earlier in the day, wishing him "good luck" with the screening. The audience gave its rousing approval.

It's a total about-face ... just a few days ago, Richard wrote on Facebook, "You may have heard they may be doing a movie about me with Pauly Shore. I have never given my permission for this movie. So don't believe everything you read."

To say he never gave his permission is as much as saying DON'T DO THIS!

Bueno, esto es una locura ... pocos días después de que Richard Simmons parecía enojado con Pauly Shore porque estaba haciendo una película biográfica de su vida, ahora parece estar dando su visto bueno al proyecto.

TMZ obtuvo este video del Festival de Cine de Sundance el viernes por la noche, donde Pauly se subió al escenario para presentar el cortometraje que con el tiempo se convertirá en la versión cinematográfica completa de la vida de Richard.

Comenzó diciéndole a la multitud que Richard le había enviado un mensaje de texto temprano en el día, deseándole "buena suerte" con la proyección. El público reaccionó con una entusiasta aprobación.

Hace solo unos días, Richard había escrito en Facebook: "Puede que hayan oído que van a hacer una película sobre mí con Pauly Shore. Nunca he dado mi permiso para esta película. Así que no se crean todo lo que leen".

Decir que nunca dio su permiso es igual que decir ¡NO HAGAS ESTO!

Si Pauly está compartiendo el mensaje de ayer en todo su contexto, puede ser que Richard tuvo un cambio de corazón.

'KING OF KONG' STAR BILLY MITCHELL RELIEVED GAMING RECORDS REINSTATED ... 'Don't Rewrite History!!'

'King of Kong' star Billy Mitchell is keeping score after Twin Galaxies reinstated his historical records ... after a multi-year dispute over cheating allegations.

You Can't Rewrite History
TMZ.com

Billy tells TMZ ... he's satisfied and relieved with the recent resolution in his defamation case against the video game database ... nearly 6 years after they suggested he fabricated his Donkey Kong record through an emulation software, banned him, and wiped his scores from their site.

He tells us when the investigation and claims began in 2018, his first order of business was going back to the arcade and beating all the scores, which he did.

For some people this wasn't good enough, so now that his name is cleared, he is going to get back to what he enjoys doing, which is playing games, breaking records, attending events, and being an ambassador for competitive gaming.

Billy's happy his history has finally been restored -- but doesn't get why people were trying to rewrite it in the first place ... especially 'cause Twin Galaxies ain't as relevant as it used to be, according to him.

"The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" was a 2007 documentary about competitive arcade gaming that followed Steve Wiebe attempting to take down Billy's high score record in Donkey Kong. Following the success of the documentary, he was told there was talk of a feature film with Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey being eyed as the lead.

As for now, Billy's taking the onslaught of movie offers his way seriously ... after putting them on the back burner while his defamation case raged on.

Billy's lead counsel, Anthony Ellrod tells TMZ... “This was an extremely hard fought case, and I am happy that the parties were ultimately able to resolve it. Cases like this where an individual’s credibility and veracity are at stake are very difficult to resolve short of trial. I credit the hard work of all parties and counsel in reaching a settlement.”

Billy's leveling up for the future now ... basically, he's saying, don't hate the player, hate the game!!

Kanye West Rocks Burzum Shirt ... Neo-Nazi Singer's Face Plastered

Kanye West seems to be embracing Nazi sentiments yet again -- this time wearing a shirt with the face of a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi who's very well known in the metal scene.

Rapper JPEGMAFIA posted a pic Friday showing him standing next to Ye ... with the latter flashing his new platinum "teeth" and JPEG just muggin'. Just a few days ago, JPEG was publicly griping that KW wasn't acknowledging his talents in the studio ... now, this.

On its face, it looks like he and Ye made peace and came together for this photo-op -- but the bigger takeaway is Yeezy's wardrobe here ... specifically, what he's wearing up top.

It's a band T-shirt for the Norwegian black metal group BURZUM, and a photo of their lead singer Varg Vikernes plastered right below. The problem ... Varg is a known antisemite, something that's been well-documented in his career, for which he's faced legal trouble too.

The question ... why the hell is Ye wearing a shirt with a known neo-Nazi on it???

Of course, Kanye himself has been embroiled in nonstop controversy over the past year and change as it pertains to antisemitism -- and while he has attempted to walk those statements back of late, here he is within the past day or so rockin' a freaking BURZUM shirt.

It's possible Ye doesn't know about Varg's neo-Nazi ties -- but frankly, it's way too much of a coincidence considering the timing of everything. There's also an album cover connection.

When Kanye revealed the cover art for his new album "Vultures" ... folks quickly noticed that it looked very similar to BURZUM's album cover art over the years -- like, down to a T almost.

Now, if Kanye is aware who Varg is and what his ugly history entails -- which many suspect to be the case -- it would certainly seem to lend more credence to the notion that his apology in Hebrew last month was ... well, kinda meaningless.

We already shed light on the fact that his mea culpa may well have been generated by AI -- and remember, we just reported that he was said to have recorded some lengthy new apology on camera quite recently ... which we're told was rambling and all over the place.

With this latest development ... we're not really sure Kanye where stands on all this. On its face, though ... it would appear not much has changed in terms of how he feels about Jews.

Kanye West Usa una camiseta con la cara de un neonazi confeso

Kanye West parece estar abrazando sus sentimientos nazis de nuevo, esta vez usando una camiseta con la cara de un autoproclamado neonazi muy conocido en la escena del metal.

El rapero JPEGMAFIA publicó el viernes una foto en la que aparece de pie junto a Ye, con este mostrando sus nuevos "dientes" de platino. Hace apenas unos días, JPEG se quejaba públicamente de que Kanye no estaba reconociendo su talento en el estudio y ahora esto.

Por sus caras, parece que él y Ye hicieron las paces y se reunieron para esta foto, pero lo más importante es el vestuario de Yeezy, específicamente lo que lleva en la parte superior.

Esta es una camiseta del grupo noruego de black metal BURZUM y una foto de su vocalista Varg Vikernes justo debajo. El problema es que Varg es un conocido antisemita, algo que ha sido bien documentado en su carrera y que le ha causado problemas legales también.

La pregunta es, ¿por qué demonios Ye lleva una camiseta con un conocido neonazi?

Por supuesto, el propio Kanye ha estado envuelto en la controversia sin parar durante el último año en lo que respecta al antisemitismo y sus cambios de opinión. Aunque ha tratado de retractarse de esas declaraciones en el último tiempo, aquí está de nuevo, usando una camiseta de BURZUM.

Es posible que Ye no sepa nada de los lazos neonazis de Varg, pero francamente, es demasiada coincidencia teniendo en cuenta el momento en que se produce todo esto. También hay una conexión con la portada del álbum.

Cuando Kanye reveló el arte de su nuevo álbum "Vultures", las personas rápidamente se dieron cuenta de que se parecía mucho al de la portada del álbum de BURZUM en los últimos años, quizás demasiado parecida.

Ahora, si Kanye es consciente de quién es Varg y su historia, que muchos sospechan es el caso, sin duda parece dar más credibilidad a la idea de que su disculpa en hebreo el mes pasado no tenía ningún sentido.

Ya hemos arrojado luz sobre el hecho de que su mea culpa bien pudo haber sido generado por IA y recuerden, acabamos de informar de que grabó una larga nueva disculpa en cámara hace muy poco, donde se dice que estaba divagando y todo eso.

Con este último desarrollo, no estamos realmente seguros de lo que piensa Kanye en todo esto. A primera vista, sin embargo, parece que no ha cambiado mucho en términos de cómo se siente acerca de los judíos.

Oklahoma State University Four Hit With Criminal Charges ... After Dead Longhorn Found At Fraternity

120123_longhorn_kal_v2 12/1/23
DISTURBING DISPLAY

Four people have been hit with criminal charges after officials allege they were responsible for hurling a dead longhorn onto the front yard of an Oklahoma State University fraternity house last month.

According to KOCO 5 News, three 19-year-olds and one 20-year-old were charged with misdemeanor unlawful disposal of a carcass in relation to the case.

You'll recall ... the steer was found on Dec. 1 at around 6:30 AM in front of the FarmHouse Fraternity in Stillwater, Okla. -- in what appeared to be some sort of twisted message sent to the Cowboys ahead of their Big 12 championship football game against the Texas Longhorns.

The body of the animal was discovered with its stomach cut open ... and on its side, someone had written "F*** FH."

At the time, OSU officials said they were "appalled at the disturbing display of animal cruelty" ... and promised to take "appropriate action" against the perpetrators following an investigation into the incident.

Authorities said in court documents obtained by KOCO 5 News that the four suspects were members of the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity looking to play a prank on the FarmHouse Fraternity with the steer.

Court records show all four pled not guilty to the charges earlier this week. Each is now due in court for another hearing on the matter in March.

Oklahoma State University Acusan a 4 personas de delitos penales Después de encontrar a un Longhorn muerto...

120123_longhorn_kal_v2 12/1/23
Inquietante incidente

Cuatro personas han sido acusadas con cargos criminales después de que las autoridades alegaran que son responsables de dejar a un longhorn muerto en el patio delantero de una casa de la fraternidad de la Universidad Estatal de Oklahoma el mes pasado.

Según KOCO 5 News, tres de ellos tienen 19 años y uno 20. Todos fueron acusados del delito menor de eliminación ilegal de un cadáver en relación con el caso.

Ustedes recordarán que un novillo fue encontrado el 1 de diciembre alrededor de las 6:30 AM en frente de la Fraternidad FarmHouse en Stillwater, Oklahoma, en lo que parecía ser una especie de mensaje retorcido para los Cowboys antes de su partido de fútbol del campeonato Big 12 contra los Longhorns de Texas.

El cuerpo del animal fue descubierto con el estómago abierto y a su lado alguien había escrito "F*** FH" (Que se jodan los FarmHouse).

En ese momento, los funcionarios de OSU dijeron que estaban "horrorizados por la perturbadora exhibición de crueldad animal" y prometieron que tomarían las "medidas apropiadas" contra los perpetradores después de una investigación sobre el incidente.

Las autoridades dijeron en documentos judiciales obtenidos por KOCO 5 News que los cuatro sospechosos eran miembros de la fraternidad Alpha Gamma Rho que querían jugarle una broma a la fraternidad FarmHouse con el buey.

Los registros judiciales muestran que los cuatro se declararon inocentes de los cargos a principios de esta semana. Cada uno de ellos deberá comparecer ante el tribunal para otra audiencia sobre el caso en marzo.

Troy Baker le pone voz a "Indiana Jones" en un nuevo videojuego Harrison queda fuera

Indiana Jones está de vuelta, pero Harrison Ford no se pondrá el sombrero... ¡ni siquiera en el mundo digital!

Bethesda Softworks publicó el jueves el tráiler de su próximo videojuego "Indiana Jones y el Gran Círculo", y los fans no pudieron evitar darse cuenta que Indy suena un poco diferente.

Y es que Ford, que interpretó el papel en todas las películas y series de televisión, no prestará su voz al proyecto, sino Troy Baker, quien es como el Harrison Ford del mundo de los videojuegos. Sí, es así de icónico.

Basta con echarle un vistazo a los créditos del tipo: "The Last of Us", "Mortal Kombat", "BioShock", "Halo 4", "Resident Evil" y "Call of Duty: Black Ops", ¡además de darle voz a Batman en una serie!

Las reacciones de los fans son abrumadoramente positivas (no es una pequeña hazaña cuando se trata de la comunidad de jugadores.) A las personas que conocen el trabajo de Baker les encanta el casting y los que no todavía estaban impresionados por el trailer.

No se sabe exactamente por qué Harrison no volverá al papel. Podría ser por dinero —los videojuegos no tienen el mismo presupuesto que las grandes superproducciones— o podría ser que Han Solo está cumpliendo las promesas que hizo durante su gira de prensa para "Indiana Jones y el dial del destino"... es decir, que ha terminado con Indy y que está pasando a algo más grande y mejor.

Una cita que realmente lo dice todo, cuando se le preguntó si era agridulce dejar el personaje, Ford respondió: "No. Es hora de que crezca". Así que, definitivamente, parece un tipo que cuelga su viejo sombrero de arqueólogo.

Harrison tiene otros papeles en todo caso. Acaba de recibir una nominación al Critics Choice Award por su trabajo como el Dr. Paul Rhoades en "Shrinking" y tiene dos proyectos de Marvel en camino, el tipo está muy ocupado para una persona de 81 años.

"Indiana Jones y el Gran Círculo" saldrá este año en Xbox y PC, así que prepara tus látigos ¡porque esos artefactos pertenecen a un museo!

Pauly Shore I Know Richard's Mad About My Movie But I Honestly Mean Well!!!

BACKGRID

Richard Simmons made very clear this week that he doesn't approve of Pauly Shore making a movie about him/his life -- but Pauly thinks he'll win the guy over ... eventually.

The actor touched down at the Salt Lake City Int'l Airport Thursday, where he's in town for the Sundance Film Festival that's going down this weekend in neighboring Park City. Right off the bat, photogs on hand were ready to pepper him with questions about this film of his.

Of course, the big one being ... do you think it's right to proceed with this Richard Simmons biopic -- even though the man himself hasn't given his blessing ... explicitly so.

Check out Pauly's take here, 'cause he touches on a few different things. For starters, he thinks RS might be singing this tune today ... but could well be feeling completely different about it by tomorrow. More importantly, though, he thinks intention is everything with this.

From Pauly's view, he's not coming from a vindictive place -- and he vows to do Richard justice in his portrayal of him. He also says straight up ... build it, and they'll come!

Pauly goes on to explain that he genuinely believes once Richard can see this new short film of his -- on which the forthcoming biopic will be based -- RS will come around to seeing his things his way, basically suggesting the work will be good ... and it'll be done right by Rich.

Bottom line for Pauly here ... people love Richard, and they also love him -- and he says folks are itching to see both of them make a comeback in a big way.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED
The Zane Lowe Interview Series

Kid Cudi is telling all on his mended friendship with Kanye West ... and explaining exactly why he ended up forgiving the guy after an ugly falling out.

The rapper hopped on Apple Music's Zane Lowe podcast and got into the topic in depth -- explaining he and Ye are, in fact, cool now .... noting it's because Kanye sincerely apologized to him -- which is major, as he doesn't easily dish out mea culpas.

121523_kanye_cudi_kal 12/15/23
FRIENDSHIP REBORN

KC adds that working with someone shrouded in controversy is complicated ... but at the end of the day, he considers Kanye his brother -- and it's always siblings that hurt each other the most ... but he'll always have his family's back.

Plus, he says fans love the two of them working together ... and Cudi's well aware of that.

You'll recall ... Kanye and Cudi feuded through all of 2022 and most of 2023 -- Ye was fuming when Cudi remained pals with Pete Davidson as he dated his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

In return, Cudi labeled him a dinosaur in the music industry and swore he'd never work with him again. At the time, it certainly felt like things were over between them ... for good.

But, through much reflection, Cudi tells Zane here that he wouldn't be where he is today if it weren't for Kanye ... cause he championed him in his early career ... doing him huge favors such as paying for his "Day 'n' Nite" music video when he had no record deal.

He's also adamant that there's a good man underneath Ye's shocking behavior and abhorrent rants ... admitting he might not be able to bounce back from some stuff he's said, but he's praying for him.

Unclear if everyone agrees with Cudi about Kanye's underlying character ... but as far as he's concerned, their problems are water under a bridge.
