Controversial S#!T

Billie Eilish seemed to speak some truth at the People's Choice Awards this weekend -- namely, openly wondering why a bunch of social media "stars" were among real A-listers.

The singer was filmed chatting with Kylie Minogue behind the scenes at the award show in L.A. Sunday -- and she could be heard pointing out that there was a crap-ton of TikTokers in the building ... something she didn't look to be a huge fan of.

Watch ... BE was sitting next to KM when she made the observation -- and once she realized she was being filmed, she tried to cover up how she felt about it, unsuccessfully.

Billie could be heard noting there were some TikTok heads "over there" ... she then grimaces, shakes her head and says something to the effect of "I don't need it." Now, in terms of who exactly Billie might've been referring to, there's only a handful of suspects.

There really weren't a lot of TikTok/social media personalities on hand at the show -- and they did seem to be more filled with actual Hollywood types (mainstream actors/musicians) than viral people. But, among those who have a huge following ... Tana Mongeau, Chris Olsen, Gigi Gorgeous, Alix Earle, James Charles and maybe a couple more here and there.

That's what makes her remarks so funny ... even with the small handful of TikTokers, it was still enough to rub Billie the wrong way -- and we gotta admit, she ain't really wrong here!

Fans of Matthew Perry slammed the BAFTA Awards over their perceived snub of the late actor, prompting the show's executives to respond to all the backlash.

The fury began Sunday night after the 2024 British Academy Film Awards aired a four-minute In Memoriam segment showing images of actors who passed away over the last year, including Carl Weathers, Tina Turner, Chaim Topol, Michael Gambon and Richard Roundtree.

As the photos flashed on screen, actress Hannah Waddingham performed onstage, singing a rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time."

It was a wonderful celebration of these famous and talented people ... the only problem was Perry was not among those honored.

His fans were upset, expressing their frustrations on the social media app, X.

One person fumed, “No mention of Matthew Perry in the #BAFTAs memorial?! Bad form."

Another wrote, "Hannah Waddingham's voice is so beautiful. It's a shame BAFTA left Matthew Perry off the list though."

A third grumbled, "No Matthew Perry in the #BAFTAs memorium?? Feels a tad disrespectful. Did they just forget?"

Other Perry supporters noted the actor was not just known for his role on the TV sitcom, "Friends," but he also had a long and successful movie career.

BAFTA senior execs responded to one angry X user, writing, “Matthew Perry will be remembered in this year’s TV Awards ceremony.” They also attached a link to Perry's tribute on the BAFTA website, highlighting his TV and film work.

TMZ broke the story ... Perry's assistant found his body last October floating in a hot tub at his L.A. area home. The coroner performed an autopsy, concluding Perry died from the "acute effects of ketamine," an anesthetic used to treat depression. Drowning was listed on the autopsy report as a secondary cause of death.

Bethenny Frankel's defending "Today" ... blasting Kelly Rowland for reportedly bailing on cohosting the show because her dressing room wasn't up to par.

Here's the deal ... Rowland was supposed to cohost the popular NBC morning show alongside Hoda Kotb Thursday after being interviewed about her new film "Mea Culpa" when she dropped out at the last minute.

Page Six says sources told them she left because her dressing room wasn't up to snuff. Rita Ora filled in, and the show went on just as planned ... but, Frankel couldn't help herself when she heard the news and filmed a TikTok about the whole situation.

BF started out by saying Kelly's right ... the dressing rooms are tiny, the catering's awful and the makeup area is communal -- before adding none of that matters.

Frankel called the show an "institution in entertainment" and said it's an honor to even be there alongside Hoda ... before ending by saying it was not the moment for "diva expectations."

BTW ... some fans online are pointing out Bethenny did something similar in the past -- posting her own video about the backstage area of "Today" ... though even in that clip Frankel reiterated how grateful she was just to be on the show.

Bethenny's since taken down her video ... deleting it from her social media accounts, and she's taking a lot of heat online over calling out the former Destiny's Child star.

Unclear if Rowland's caught wind of Bethenny's comments ... she hasn't said anything about walking off "Today" as far as we can tell.

Lily Gladstone no está contenta con el nombre de los campeones del Super Bowl y dice que la mascota de los subcampeones no es mucho mejor.

La actriz y activista conversó en un panel del Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara el pasado fin de semana, justo antes de que los Chiefs derrotaran a los 49ers, y criticó el uso del tomahawk chop de sus aficionados, un gesto con la mano y el canto usado por fans de equipos que tienen mascotas nativas americanas.

Lily Gladstone dijo que el gesto es un recordatorio de lo que Hollywood ha hecho con los nativos americanos y señaló que el canto fue utilizado en los viejos westerns antes de que a los actores indígenas se les diera la oportunidad de interpretar papeles importantes.

Gladstone dijo que se molesta cuando la gente le dice que el canto se entiende como un signo de "honor", llamándolo otra forma de "mercantilización" de su pueblo.

Estos argumentos son bastante comunes entre los activistas, pero Lily también mencionó a los 49ers de San Francisco como otro ejemplo ofensivo.

Lily apuntó a los colonos -llamados 49ers- que fueron al Oeste en busca de oro, "un tiempo increíblemente brutal para los indios de California", por lo que un equipo de la NFL utilice ese apodo tampoco lo libra totalmente libre de culpa.

Por cierto, las protestas en contra del nombre de los Chiefs tienen lugar de vez en cuando. Hubo una justo antes de la victoria en el Super Bowl LVII del año pasado sobre los Philadelphia Eagles.

Otras franquicias deportivas profesionales, como los Guardianes de Cleveland en la MLB y los Comandantes de Washington, ya han cambiado sus nombres para hacer frente a la crítica, aunque sus nombres originales eran banderas rojas mucho más claras para los activistas.

Lily Gladstone's not happy with the Super Bowl champs' name ... and she says the NFL runner-ups' mascot ain't much better.

The actress and activist spoke during a Santa Barbara International Film Festival panel last weekend, before the Chiefs defeated the 49ers ... and ripped Chiefs fans' use of the tomahawk chop -- a hand gesture and chant used by fans of teams with Native American mascots.

LG said the gesture is a reminder of what Hollywood has done to Native Americans ... pointing out the chant was used in old Westerns before indigenous actors were given the opportunity to play major roles in the movie.

Gladstone said she gets upset when people say the chant is meant as a sign of "honor" ... calling it the "commodification" of her people as well.

These arguments are pretty common among activists and groups ... but, Lily also mentioned the San Francisco 49ers as another example of an offensive mascot.

Lily pointed out settlers -- called 49ers -- who went West looking for gold harkened "an incredibly brutal time for California Indians" ... so an NFL team using that moniker's not totally blameless either.

BTW ... protests against the Chiefs' name take place from time to time -- with one kicking off before their Super Bowl LVII victory last year over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Other pro sports franchises -- like the Cleveland Guardians in MLB and Washington Commanders -- have already changed their names in the face of criticism ... though their original names were pretty clear red flags for activists.

Beyoncé’s in the country music doghouse it seems ... at least if John Schneider’s to be believed -- ‘cause he said the star's like a dog takin’ a piss on the genre!

The former “Dukes of Hazzard” star sat down for an interview with right-wing One American News Network to discuss Bey’s recent foray into country music ... and he blasted the Queen for not leaving the genre well enough alone.

Check out the clip yourself ... Schneider says left-wing entertainers have to “make their mark just like a dog” -- basically, he sees entertainers trying to claim country music as their own.

While he’s probably best known for his work as an actor, Schneider does know a little bit about country music ... John’s actually released a bunch of albums with several reaching impressive heights on the country charts back in the ‘80s.

Beyoncé's used as the example here, but JS is speaking more broadly about pop stars flooding into country music ... and he seems none too pleased about the trend whatsoever.

Artists like Post Malone and Lana Del Rey are also reportedly dipping their toes into the country music pool ... but Bey’s new album’s gotta be the most-anticipated. Her new tracks “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” got dropped during the Super Bowl and signaled a whole new sound for the Beyhive to jam to.

BTW ... this isn't exactly a new phenomenon. Steven Tyler, Cyndi Lauper and Nelly are just a few big names who have put out country/country-adjacent albums in the past.

Now, if you’re wondering how Bey’s fans took Schenider’s comments ... they weren’t shy about venting their anger, calling his words “disgusting” and pointing out Beyonce’s from Texas -- so country’s kinda in her DNA!

Beyoncé se está metiendo en la boca del lobo de la música country, al menos para John Schneider, ¡quien dijo que la estrella es como un perro meando en el género!

La ex estrella de "Dukes of Hazzard" se sentó a conversar con la derechista One American News Network para discutir sobre la reciente incursión de Bey en la música country, y el hombre criticó a Queen B por no dejar el género en paz.

Echa un vistazo a este clip, Schneider dice que los artistas de izquierda tienen que "hacer su marca al igual que un perro", básicamente, ve a esos artistas tratando de reclamar la música country como propia.

Aunque probablemente es más conocido por su trabajo como actor, Schneider sabe algo de la música country. De hecho, ha publicado varios álbumes, algunos de los cuales alcanzaron cotas impresionantes en las listas de country en los años 80.

Beyoncé es utilizada como un ejemplo en este caso, pero John está hablando más en general sobre las estrellas del pop que se están sumergiendo en este género y él no parece estar en absoluto contento con la tendencia.

Dice que artistas como Post Malone y Lana Del Rey también están incursionando en la música country, aunque el álbum más esperado es el de Bey. Sus nuevas canciones "Texas Hold 'Em" y "16 Carriages" fueron lanzadas durante el Super Bowl y marcaron un nuevo sonido para la Beyhive.

Por cierto, este no es un fenómeno nuevo. Steven Tyler, Cyndi Lauper y Nelly son solo algunos grandes nombres que han publicado álbumes country en el pasado.

Ahora, si se están preguntando cómo se tomaron los fans de Beyoncé los comentarios de Schenider, estos no fueron tímidos al expresar su ira, calificando sus palabras de "repugnantes" y señalando que Bey es de Texas, por lo que el country está en su ADN.

Se podría pensar que Megan Fox es Vladimir Putin por la forma en que los ucranianos se enojaron con ella. Resulta que están molestos por un comentario autocrítico, y Megan piensa que todo el mundo debería relajarse.

Megan decidió responder al torrente de comentarios en redes sociales sobre una foto que ella y MGK se tomaron el domingo por la noche en Las Vegas con Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce. Los haters la hicieron estallar con afirmaciones de que había alterado quirúrgicamente su cara, a lo que ella respondió publicando un ángulo diferente e insistió en que no se veía tan diferente.

Ella bromeó en su pie de foto: "resulta que era solo una foto rápida tomada con el teléfono y  parezco una muñeca inflable ucraniana, cuando en realidad me veo una de esas muñecas de silicona súper caras de sexo real que solo se pueden obtener en Japón".

La broma de Megan no le gusto a miles de ucranianos, que han dejado comentarios como: "Soy de Ucrania... ¿Parezco una muñeca inflable?"... "Supongo que la xenofobia hacia los europeos del Este sigue siendo cosa de Hollywood" y "Ucrania está siendo aniquilada en una guerra no provocada. Por favor, podemos centrarnos en eso".

Megan ya que ha respondido a algunos de los comentarios y claramente quiere que la gente sepa que entiendieron todo mal. Escribió: "Dios mío, no es lo que quería decir. mujeres ucranianas son muy hot y en miimaginación lo son las muñecas inflabvles. Dejen que una chica haga una broma por el amor de Dios".

You'd think Megan Fox is Vladimir Putin the way Ukrainians are comin' for her -- they're pissed off about a self-deprecating comment she made, but Megan thinks everyone just needs to lighten the hell up!

Megan decided to respond to the torrent of social media comments on a pic she and MGK took Sunday night in Vegas with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Haters blew her up with claims she'd surgically altered her face, so she fired back by posting a different angle of the foursome, and insisted she didn't look all that different.

She quipped in her caption, "turns out it was just a shadowy cell phone pic of me looking like a ukrainian blowup doll. when in REALITY i look one of those super expensive silicone real sex dolls you can only get in japan."

Welp ... Megan's "joke" didn't land with thousands of Ukrainians, who've left comments like, "Wtf? I'm from Ukrainian ...Am I looking like a blow up doll?" ... "I guess xenophobia towards Eastern European is still a thing in Hollywood" and "Ukraine is being annihilated in a war unprovoked. Pls can we just focus on that."

Megan's not taking the backlash quietly, as she's responded to a few of the comments, and clearly wants people to know they've got it all twisted -- she wrote, "dear god. that is NOT what i meant. ukrainian women are hot af and so in my imagination the blowup dolls would also be hot. let a girl make a joke for f***s sake."

Kanye West is firing back at Taylor Swift fans who are trying to block him from a top spot on the music charts ... telling them he's not an enemy, though not exactly a friend either.

Here's the deal ... Swifties are calling on other Swifties to buy and stream Beyoncé's new country music to block Kanye's new music from getting the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Kanye's seen the "SWIFTIE EMERGENCY" on social media and now he's firing back ... and making some interesting counterpoints.

Ye says Swifties shouldn't be coming after him because, in his mind, he's been far more helpful than harmful to Taylor's career. Kanye's views in Wednesday's post jibe with what he's rapped about before ... namely, "I made that b**** famous."

Of course, T-Swift and Kanye have beefed ever since he crashed her 2009 VMA win to say Beyoncé had a better music video ... although, Ye is of the belief the longstanding drama has actually elevated Taylor's profile.

Here, Kanye also points out he was on Taylor's side when Scooter Braun bought her master recordings of which her dad reportedly made $15 million from ... and he says TayTay and Beyoncé are actually big inspirations to all musicians, including himself.

Kanye name-dropping Taylor on his new "Vultures" album seems to have opened up some wounds ... but he says the album is actually super positive and fun.

Rachel Dolezal is without a job after she reportedly got canned from her teaching job in Arizona -- this after people learned she had an OnlyFans account ... which sparked outrage.

The ex-NAACP Washington chapter prez -- who was accused of pretending to be Black nearly a decade ago -- was let go from a gig she had with Catalina Foothills School District in Tucson ... where she was recently working as an after-school instructor.

According to News4 Tucson ... Dolezal now goes by a different name, Nkechi Diallo, and it sounds like the people there in Arizona didn't realize who she was.

More importantly -- the folks there didn't know she had run an OF ... something the rest of us were aware of dating back to 2022, when her racy pics got plastered online.

Anyway ... somebody blabbed to the media, and they went running to the school district -- and now, they're saying Rachel's no longer employed by them.

They told N4T, "We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo's Only Fans social media posts yesterday afternoon. Her posts are contrary to our district's "Use of Social Media by District Employees" policy (attached) and our staff ethics policy. She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District."

Remember, Dolezal had been embroiled in a major controversy back in 2014/2015 ... when people realized she was a white woman and not Black -- which she'd posed as for years.

That whole thing has come and gone -- but it seems that, lately, more people are up in arms about the fact she's posting skimpy pics online -- which seems to have bitten her here.

Rachel Dolezal se ha quedado sin trabajo tras ser despedida de su puesto de profesora en Arizona, después de que se descubriera que tenía una cuenta en OnlyFans, lo que desató la indignación.

El ex-NAACP Washington capítulo prez -que fue acusado de pretender ser afroamericano hace casi una década- fue dejado ir de un concierto que tenía con Catalina Foothills Distrito Escolar en Tuscon, donde recientemente estaba trabajando como instructora después de la escuela.

Según News4 Tuscon, Dolezal ahora va por un nombre diferente, Nkechi Diallo, y parece que la gente de Arizona no se dio cuenta de quién era.

Más importante aún, la gente del lugar no sabía que tenía un OnlyFans, algo que el resto de nosotros éramos conscientes desde 2022, cuando sus fotos subidas de tono aparecieron en línea.

De todos modos, alguien se contactó con los medios de comunicación y fue corriendo al distrito escolar, y ahora, están diciendo que Rachel ya no está empleada.

Le dijeron a N4T: "Nos enteramos de las publicaciones de la Sra. Nkechi Diallo en las redes sociales de OnlyFans ayer por la tarde. Sus publicaciones son contrarias a la política de nuestro distrito sobre el uso de redes sociales por los empleados del distrito (adjunta) y a nuestra política de ética del personal. Ya no es empleada del Distrito Escolar Catalina Foothills".

Recordemos que Dolezal se había visto envuelta en una gran controversia el 2014/2015 cuando la gente se dio cuenta de que era una mujer blanca y no afro, como venía afirmando hace años.

Rachel ha tenido sus idas y vueltas, pero parece que esta vez no se la van a dejar pasar.

Travis Kelce is addressing one of the Super Bowl's most viral moments -- when the superstar TE nearly knocked head coach Andy Reid flat on his ass -- publicly beating himself up for his actions, admitting it NEVER should've happened.

"It’s definitely unacceptable and I immediately wish I would have took it back," Trav told brother Jason on the newly released episode of their "New Heights" podcast.

Thankfully, there doesn't appear to be any hard feelings between coach and player ... T.K. says he had a conversation with Reid on the field soon after the incident, and they're cool. Winning the Super Bowl also doesn't hurt.

“I just love playing for the guy and unfortunately, sometimes my passion comes out where it looks like it’s negativity but I’m grateful that [Andy] knows that it’s all because I want to win [the Super Bowl] with him more than anything,” Travis added.

Jason, who used to play for Reid in Philadelphia, was also critical of his brother's actions.

"You crossed the line, I think we can both agree on it," JK said, with Travis ... "I did."

Jason added ... "Let's be honest, the yelling in his face too is over the top. I think there's better ways to handle this, retrospectively."

Of course, Travis and Andy go back to 2013 when both men arrived in Kansas City.

Not everyone seems willing to just brush off the exchange and move on ... including some fellow NFL stars like A.J. Brown, who claimed he "would've been kicked out of the league" if he pulled a Kelce.

Travis seems unbothered by the outside criticism.

"I don't give a s*** what anybody else says."

Inside the org, everything appears to be great ... in fact, Reid and Kelce are together at the parade as we type.

Travis Kelce está abordando uno de los momentos más comentados en el Super Bowl y fue cuando la superestrella de los Chiefs casi golpeó al entrenador Andy Reid en su trasero, admitiendo públicamente que eso NUNCA debería haber sucedido.

"Es definitivamente inaceptable y desearía haberme retractado inmediatamente", dijo Trav a su hermano Jason en el recién estrenado episodio de su podcast "New Heights".

Por suerte, no parece que haya rencores entre el entrenador y el jugador. Travis Kelce dice que tuvo una conversación con Reid en el campo poco después del incidente, y que están en buenos términos. Ganar el Super Bowl tampoco hace daño.

"Me encanta jugar para él y, por desgracia, a veces mi pasión aparece y da la impresión de que es algo negativo, pero estoy agradecido de que [Andy] sepa que todo es porque quiero ganar [el Super Bowl] con él más que nada", añadió Travis.

Jason, quien solía jugar para Reid en Filadelfia, también criticó las acciones de su hermano.

"Cruzaste la línea, creo que ambos podemos estar de acuerdo en ello", le dijo Jason Kelce,  a lo que Travis respondió: "Lo hice."

Jason añadió ... "Seamos honestos, gritarle en la cara también es exagerado. Creo que hay mejores maneras de manejar esto, retrospectivamente ".

Por supuesto, la relación de Travis y Andy se remonta al 2013, cuando ambos hombres llegaron al Kansas City.

No todos parecen dispuestos a simplemente dejar pasar el intercambio y seguir adelante, incluyendo algunos compañeros de la NFL como A.J. Brown, quien afirmó que él "habría sido expulsado de la liga" si empujaba a Kelce.

A Travis parecen no importarle las críticas externas.

"Me importa una m*** lo que digan los demás".

Dentro de la organización, todo parece estar muy bien. De hecho, Reid y Kelce están juntos en el desfile mientras escribimos.

Russell Brand está negando con vehemencia las acusaciones de que se emborrachó en un set de filmación y agredió sexualmente a una actriz. Dice que no hay manera de que sus afirmaciones sean ciertas, porque estaba sobrio.

En nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Russell se está defendiendo de una demanda que asegura que este expuso su pene frente a una mujer en el set de la película "Arthur" y luego la agredió sexualmente en un baño.

Russell afirma que no recuerda a la actriz que lo está demandando por el supuesto incidente de 2010, y que toda su demanda se basa en la falsa afirmación de que estaba intoxicado en el set.

Russell dice que solo estaba interpretando el papel de borracho en la película y que no había consumido drogas ni probado un sorbo de alcohol desde el 13 de diciembre de 2002, afirmando que llevaba 8 años sobrio en el momento de la supuesta agresión.

En los documentos presentados por su abogado Andrew Brettler, Russell dice que la mujer "es incapaz de distinguir la actuación de la realidad". Añade que su trabajo era "actuar como borracho y retratar a un borracho", pero que "no bebió ni un sorbo de alcohol ni consumió drogas en ningún momento durante la producción".

Como informamos, la denunciante, que está demandando como Jane Doe, afirma que antes de la supuesta agresión "parecía intoxicado, olía a alcohol y andaba con una botella de vodka en el set".

Russell dice que la botella de vodka era solo un accesorio para la película y que no contenía alcohol real.

La mujer afirma que Russell la siguió a un cuarto de baño donde la agredió sexualmente, aunque él dice que eso tampoco es cierto y alega que su memoria es "defectuosa".

Russell Brand is vehemently denying accusations he got drunk on a movie set and sexually assaulted an actress ... he says there's no way her claims are true, because he was sober.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Russell pushes back on a lawsuit alleging he exposed his penis to a woman on the set of the movie "Arthur," and then sexually assaulted her in a bathroom.

Russell claims he doesn't recall the actress who is suing him over the alleged 2010 incident, and he says her entire suit rests on the false claim he was intoxicated on set.

RB says he was just playing a drunk in the movie ... and he hasn't done drugs or had a sip of alcohol since Dec. 13, 2002 ... claiming he was 8 years sober at the time of the alleged assault.

In the docs, filed by his attorney Andrew Brettler, Russell says the woman "is unable to distinguish acting from reality." He says his job was to "act drunk and portray a drunk," but "he did not drink a sip of alcohol or consume any drugs at any time during production."

As we reported ... Russell's accuser, who is suing as a Jane Doe, claims prior to the alleged assault he "appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol, and was carrying a bottle of vodka on set."

Russell says the vodka bottle was just a prop for the film ... and contained no real booze.

The woman claims Russell followed her into a bathroom where he sexually assaulted her ... but he says that's not true either, claiming her memory is "faulty."
