Un nuevo video al interior de una boda en Irak muestra la rapidez con que se propagaron las llamas, solo segundos antes de que un horrible incendio matara a más de 100 personas.

Los clips muestran a la feliz pareja bailando dentro del salón de bodas Al Haithem cerca del pueblo de Qaraqosh, también conocido como Al-Hamdaniya, el martes por la noche. A continuación se ve que una serie de bengalas estallan a su alrededor, provocando el incendio y sembrando el pánico entre los invitados.

Las flores que colgaban de un enorme soporte que estaba encima de la pareja parecieron actuar como combustible para el fuego, pues las llamas treparon casi de inmediato.

Después de que la mayoría hubiera evacuado la sala principal, unas enormes vigas, completamente en llamas, se estrellaron contra el suelo. Las imágenes posteriores al fatal incidente muestran la intensa destrucción causada en el edificio.

Aparentemente, los novios salieron con vida, pero Reuters afirma que se ha confirmado la muerte de 113 personas y que otras 150 sufrieron heridas. Al parecer, el Ministerio del Interior de Irak emitió órdenes de detención en contra de los propietarios del salón de bodas, uno de los cuales ya estaba esposado desde el jueves.

Los sobrevivientes del incendio afirman que el lugar no estaba equipado para un desastre como este y una mujer dijo a la salida: "Esto no era una boda. Esto fue un infierno", mientras lloraba y se golpeaba a sí misma tras perder en el incendio a su hija de 27 años y a sus tres nietos, uno de los cuales tenía solo 8 meses.

Jonathan Owens is firing back at a fan who said his wife, Simone Biles, was a complete jerk while out on a recent shopping trip ... saying the accusations are all a lie.

The fan claimed the unpleasant run-in with the gymnastics star happened several months ago at a makeup store she had been working at.

In a series of tweets, the woman said Biles was "so f***ing rude" ... and, at one point during the shopping spree, denied her coworker a picture with her daughter while at check out.

She claimed Biles said at the time, "Absolutely not. Your daughter is 4 she doesn't even know me." She also said the 26-year-old complained to the store manager about being watched while she was perusing through items.

"For months after," the woman wrote in one of her tweets, "every time I'd see new about her and they would call her sweet I just recall how mean she was for no reason. When she left we all were like 'what the f*** just happened.'"

But, Owens -- the Green Bay Packers defensive back who married Biles earlier this year -- called cap on the story in his own series of posts on X on Thursday ... saying Biles is the "sweetest person in the world."

"Spreading lies on the internet is crazy," he said. "It's okay for her to deny a picture. People don't understand sometimes you just want to shop in peace, if she stops and takes one picture people will just keep following her and won’t leave us alone."

"And another thing," he continued, "I've never heard her talk to someone like that, especially to someone who asked her for a picture, like why would you try to make her look like that."

"I’m not going for that, I don't play bout my baby."

Taylor Swift podría estar muy cerca de añadir otro miembro a su pandilla y esta tiene serios lazos con Travis Kelce y los Kansas City Chiefs.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que Taylor y la esposa del QB de los Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, Brittany Mahomes, realmente congeniaron el domingo por la noche en la fiesta privada de Kelce después del partido. Nuestras fuentes dicen que las dos charlaron un montón en la fiesta y que en un momento incluso se tomaron un shot juntas.

Incluso más, nos dicen que escucharon a Brittany y Taylor diciendo que querían mantenerse en contacto y que tienen planes para juntarse de nuevo en un futuro próximo.

Por supuesto, se supone que Taylor asistirá este domingo al partido de los Chiefs contra los New York Jets en el MetLife Stadium de Nueva Jersey, así que al menos se verán allí.

Además de Brittany, Taylor pasó un montón de tiempo con Travis en la fiesta y se puede ver cómo su brazo envuelve a la estrella de la NFL en una foto que obtuvimos del evento.

Brittany y el hermano de Patrick, Jackson, han sido las caras del equipo de Kansas City durante años (aparte de los atletas, por supuesto), por lo que ver a Taylor tomar el centro de atención ha sido sin duda un cambio.

Las redes sociales enloquecieron con la aparición de Taylor en el partido del domingo, cuando la vimos sentada en un palco privado junto a la madre de Travis, Donna. Brittany no estaba en ese palco, pero ya empezaron a aparecer memes que cuestionan si estaba o no celosa de la atención que recibió Taylor.

Taylor Swift might be inching closer to adding another member to her girl squad ... and she's got some serious ties to Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Taylor and Chiefs' QB Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany Mahomes, really hit it off Sunday night at Kelce's private post-game party. Our sources say the two chatted a ton at the bash ... and at one point even took a shot together.

What's more, we're told, Brittany and Taylor were overheard saying they wanted to stay in touch ... and have plans to meet up again in the near future.

Of course, Taylor's supposed to attend this Sunday's Chiefs game against The New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ... so they'll at least see each other at the game.

Brittany aside, Taylor also spent plenty of time with Travis at the party ... and could be seen with her arm draped around the NFL star in a photo we obtained from inside the event.

Brittany and Patrick's brother, Jackson, have been the faces of the KC team for years now (other than the athletes, of course) so to see Taylor take the spotlight has certainly been a shift in power.

Social media went wild during Taylor's appearance at Sunday's game when she sat in a private booth next to Travis' mom, Donna. Brittany wasn't in that box, but memes started popping up questioning whether or not she was jealous of the attention on Taylor.

2:10 PM PT -- Travis Kelce got wind of Mark Cuban's plea to Taylor Swift ... and fired back at the Mavs owner with a playful post on X.

"Just sign me to a ten day [contract!] 😎"

Mark Cuban has seen what Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce has done for the NFL, and he's hoping her influence can transition over to the NBA ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to hook her up with a Mavericks player!!

T. Swift's appearance at the Chiefs game on Sunday had a massive positive impact on Kansas City and the league as a whole ... resulting in massive television ratings and Kelce jersey sales.

The billionaire businessman and Mavs owner is now giving his two cents on the Swift/Kelce sitch ... and he tells us he's not only witnessing a budding romance -- he's also seeing dollar signs.

"Taylor Swift impacts the economy," the Shark Tank star said out in NYC on Thursday. "She adds value everywhere she goes."

"Literally every city she brings her tours to, you can see the economy get a bump out of it. The NFL's gotta be loving this."

Cuban sends a personal message to Swift ... saying he'd love to introduce her to a hooper so the Association can get in on the big biz, too -- that is if things with the Chiefs tight end fall flat.

"The Mavs -- we got a lot of really good-looking, young single guys. Come on!"

Mark Cuban ha visto lo que la relación de Taylor Swift con Travis Kelce ha hecho por la NFL y espera que su influencia pueda pasar a la NBA, diciéndole a TMZ Sports que quiere que salga con un jugador de los Mavericks.

La aparición de Swift en el juego de los Chiefs el domingo tuvo un impacto positivo masivo en Kansas City y la liga en su conjunto, lo que se vio reflejado en ratings masivos de televisión y ventas de camisetas de Kelce.

El multimillonario hombre de negocios y propietario de los Mavs ahora está apostando por este modelo de negocios y nos dice que no solo es testigo de un romance en ciernes, sino que también puede ver signos de dólar.

"Taylor Swift tiene un impacto en la economía", dijo la estrella de Shark Tank en Nueva York el jueves. "Ella añade valor donde quiera que vaya".

"Literalmente, en cada ciudad a la que lleva sus giras, puedes ver cómo la economía recibe un empujón gracias a ello. A la NFL le tiene que encantar".

Cuban le envía un mensaje personal a Swift, que básicamente dice que le encantaría presentarla a un jugador para que la Asociación pueda entrar en el gran negocio.

"Los Mavs... tenemos un montón de chicos solteros muy guapos y jóvenes. ¡Vamos!"

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are clearly two people comfortable with each other ... as Taylor draped her arm around the NFL stud's neck following his big team win Sunday.

Check out the pic, obtained by TMZ, showing Taylor very casually hanging on Travis as they spoke to Kelce's friends at a private party at Prime Social in Kansas City, Missouri.

Travis appears to be looking down, while Taylor engages in some conversation standing next to him.

As you can see, they were they were very comfortable holding court with TC's inner circle.

Travis reportedly rented out the rooftop restaurant/bar -- which is one of KC's trendiest spots -- to keep the party going with close friends, family and Chiefs teammates.

As we first told you, Travis and Taylor's first rendezvous didn't come Sunday at the game ... our sources say they've actually hung out several times, just in more intimate settings.

The photo marks the first time we've seen the two together outside of Arrowhead Stadium. Remember, Travis and Taylor walked out of the locker room area together Sunday and into his waiting convertible to leave Sunday's big win for the KC Chiefs.

Taylor's yet to say anything publicly about her situation with Kelce, but Travis spilled a bit Wednesday on his podcast "New Heights" ... calling T. Swift "pretty ballsy" for showing up to the game and hanging with his mom.

Lucky for Taylor, Travis caught a touchdown during the matchup -- something he does often -- but this one felt a little more special.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están muy cómodos el uno con el otro. Pudimos ver cómo Taylor cubrió su brazo alrededor del cuello del semental de la NFL después de la gran victoria del equipo el domingo.

Échale un vistazo a la foto obtenida por TMZ que muestra a Taylor muy casualmente colgando de Travis mientras hablaban con los amigos de Kelce en una fiesta privada en Prime Social en Kansas City, Missouri. Travis parece estar mirando hacia abajo, mientras que Taylor participa en una conversación de pie junto a él.

Como te contamos por primera vez, la primera cita de Travis y Taylor no fue el domingo en el partido, nuestras fuentes dicen que en realidad han salido varias veces, solo que en ambientes más íntimos.

La foto marca la primera vez que hemos visto a los dos juntos fuera del estadio Arrowhead. Recordemos que Travis y Taylor salieron juntos de la zona de vestuarios el domingo y entraron en el descapotable de él que les esperaba para abandonar la gran victoria del domingo.

Taylor aún no ha dicho nada públicamente sobre su situación con Kelce, pero Travis mencionó algo el miércoles en su podcast "New Heights", llamando a Swift "bastante atrevida" por aparecer en el juego y pasar el rato con su mamá.

Taylor Swift is really digging Travis Kelce ... because she's expected back at his next NFL game.

Sources confirm to TMZ … as of now, Taylor is expected to attend Sunday's game between Travis' Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

We're told Taylor's team is still working out security logistics with MetLife Stadium, where she played a huge concert earlier this summer on her "Eras" tour.

Taylor would be going back for seconds ... she went to the Chiefs game last Sunday, watching Travis score a touchdown from a private suite with his family. It was the first time she went to one of his games since they started hanging out, and the first time she met his parents.

The NFL schedule is lining up perfectly for Taylor and Travis ... his team is playing on the road against the Jets, across the river from New York City ... where Taylor owns a place.

TMZ broke the story ... Taylor and Travis got super cozy with one another after last Sunday's game, she was draping her arm around his neck while they chatted at the private party he set up.

As we first reported ... the singer and NFL stud have hung out several times before, but in more intimate settings than a football stadium.

Brittany Renner just opened up about her sex life to Shannon Sharpe in a big way ... revealing she's slept with 35 men -- a number that stunned the Pro Football Hall of Famer so much, he had to take a big swig of booze.

The "Basketball Wives" star made the remark while chatting with Sharpe on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast about Derek Jeter's dating life.

Renner said to Sharpe her roster of partners was very comparable to the Yankees legend's ... and then she told the former Denver Broncos star her body count.

Sharpe then reacted as if he had seen a ghost ... nearly spitting up his water -- before shooting some booze.

"Oh, lord!" the ex-NFLer said. "Anybody else need a shot of this?! We are in a bar, so help yourself!"

Renner took the intimate conversation even further moments later ... telling Sharpe she once caught a yeast infection after having sex with three men within 24 hours.

The deep convo didn't just stop there, though ... 'cause the two then dove into her relationship with her ex, NBA player P.J. Washington.

Renner explained she had been on birth control for a decade prior to getting with the Charlotte Hornets forward ... but she decided to go off of it to have a child with Washington because she thought he "was my guy."

"I thought I was doin' it right," she said.

Renner went on to say she's cool with Washington despite their split ... lauding his recent engagement to Alisah Chanel.

"I've sat down with his fiancée," Renner said. "We've had a four-hour conversation out for brunch."

Taylor Swift was already at the "meet the parents" stage of her relationship with Travis Kelce ... and it turns out she's getting cool with his buddies, too -- 'cause Patrick Mahomes just revealed he got to chop it up with the singer at the tight end's postgame party on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was asked about Kelce's recent super VIP guest at Arrowhead Stadium after practice on Wednesday ... and while he initially said days ago he hadn't met Swift yet -- that has since changed following TK's shindig at Prime Social in K.C.

"Yeah, I met her," Mahomes told local reporters. "She's really cool, good people."

But Patrick wasn't super chatty about the subject ... echoing Kelce and saying he's going to keep it to talkin' football moving forward.

"But like Trav said, man, I'm going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving," the two-time MVP added.

As we previously reported, Swift and Kelce -- who hung out a few times in intimate settings before Sunday's game -- were a bit closer at the postgame party ... with TS putting her arm around the four-time first-team All-Pro's neck.

Taylor Swift ya estaba en la etapa de "conocer a los padres" en su relación con Travis Kelce y ahora resulta que está conociendo a sus amigos también, porque Patrick Mahomes acaba de revelar que pudo conversar con ella en la fiesta posterior al partido del domingo.

La superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs fue consultado sobre la reciente invitada súper VIP de Kelce en el estadio Arrowhead, después de la práctica del miércoles, y aunque hace algunos días contaba que aún no había conocido a Swift, eso ha cambiado desde entonces.

"Sí, la conocí", dijo Mahomes a los periodistas locales. "Es genial, buena persona".

Pero Patrick no fue súper hablador sobre el tema, haciendo eco de Kelce y diciendo que iba a dejarlo hasta ahí para hablar de fútbol en adelante.

"Pero como Trav dijo, voy a dejar que tengan su privacidad y solo mantenerlo en movimiento", agregó el dos veces MVP.

Como informamos anteriormente, Swift y Kelce, que salieron un par de veces en ambientes íntimos antes del partido del domingo, estaban un poco más cerca en la fiesta posterior al partido, con Taylor poniendo su brazo alrededor del cuello del cuatro veces All-Pro del primer equipo.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están a punto de vivir bajo el mismo techo de nuevo. Todo esto porque ella va camino de regreso a Georgia luego de algunos nuevos acontecimientos desagradables relacionados a su divorcio.

Fuentes directas nos comentaron que Kim estuvo volando de regreso a Atlanta el miércoles después de filmar para MTV "The Surreal Life" en Colombia durante las últimas semanas. Nos dicen que está en el aire ahora y que en cuestión de horas, va a estar de vuelta en casa con Kroy y sus hijos.

A pesar de esta situación tumultuosa, nuestras fuentes nos informan que el plan (por ahora), es que Kim y Kroy sigan cohabitando, ya que ninguno de ellos realmente tiene otro lugar donde ir por el momento. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta todo lo que ha pasado últimamente en su divorcio, podemos imaginar que el escenario está preparado para la acción.

Recordemos que Kroy ha reconocido abiertamente que están en apuros económicos.

Como hemos informado, Kroy ha estado apelando constantemente a un juez últimamente, pidiendo permiso para vender su mansión para que puedan empezar a pagar algunas deudas importantes. También ha argumentado que el dinero les ayudará a conseguir su propio camino y resolver el ambiente tóxico.

También nos dicen que Kim y Kroy podrían estar teniendo relaciones de nuevo, al menos eso es lo que creen las personas cercanas. Puede ser que la pasión todavía esté en el aire.

Kim insiste en que todo está bien entre ella y Kroy. Incluso pidió que su divorcio fuera desestimado, señalando que habían tenido relaciones sexuales recientemente y argumentando que eso demuestra que su relación sigue en pie. Kroy lo ha dejado de lado y planea seguir adelante.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are about to get under each other's skin under the same roof all over again -- 'cause she's on her way back to Georgia -- after some nasty new developments in their divorce.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kim is flying back to Atlanta Wednesday after filming for MTV's "The Surreal Life" in Colombia over the past couple weeks. We're told she's in the air now, and, within hours, is set to be back home with Kroy and their kids.

Despite this tumultuous sitch, our sources say that the plan -- for now, anyway -- is for Kim and Kroy to continue cohabiting ... as neither one of them really has anywhere else to go at this point. However, considering everything that's gone on of late in their divorce case ... you can imagine the stage is set for fireworks.

Remember, Kroy has openly acknowledged they're in dire straits financially.

As we've reported .... Kroy has been consistently appealing to a judge lately, begging for permission to sell their mansion so they can start paying off some major debts. He's also argued that the money will help them get their own pad ... and resolve a toxic environment.

We're also told that Kim and Kroy could very well bang again ... at least that's how people close to them feel. Of course, whether they actually do it again is still up in the air.

Kim, for her part, has been insisting everything's fine between her and Kroy -- she even asked for their divorce to be dismissed, noting they'd had sex recently ... and arguing that it proves their relationship is still on. Kroy's brushed that aside and plans to move forward.

¡Travis Kelce se está abriendo sobre la única cosa de la que todo el mundo está hablando, su romance con Taylor Swift!

El ala cerrada de los Kansas City Chiefs se sentó para una entrevista con el podcast que comparte con su hermano Jason Kelce llamado "New Heights", durante el cual Travis admite que ya no tiene ninguna privacidad después de la cita del domingo con la estrella del pop.

Échale un vistazo al video, Jason arranca la conversación diciendo: "Hemos estado evitando este tema por respeto a tu vida personal... ahora tenemos que hablar de ello."

Travis responde: "Mi vida personal que no es tan personal. Me hice esto a mí mismo Jason, lo sé".

Jason pregunta: "Entonces Trav, ¿qué se siente que Taylor Swift finalmente te haya puesto en el mapa?".

Travis comienza a reírse antes de contar cómo su vida ha cambiado desde que Taylor entró en su vida. Él dice que ha estado viendo muchos más paparazzis con cámaras y acento británico fuera de su casa, tratando de echarle un vistazo.

Travis también dio elogios a Taylor por ser "bastante valiente" por aparecer en su partido de la NFL y pasar el rato con sus amigos y familiares en su suite personal.

Él dijo que ella "se veía increíble" y que todo el mundo la vio de una manera positiva, añadiendo que era un juego que nunca olvidará. Dijo que la imagen que más se le quedó grabada fue la de Taylor dándole golpes en el pecho y chocando los cinco con su madre.

También habló sobre el brazalete de la amistad de Taylor que llevaba puesto mientras que también afirmaba que quería "respetar la vida de ambos".

Pero Travis nunca se refirió a la pregunta más importante... ¿está saliendo con Taylor Swift?

TMZ publicó la noticia, Taylor y Travis han estado saliendo en privado los últimos meses y es bastante claro que hay algún tipo de relación. Como ya informamos, ella estuvo sentada en su regazo durante una fiesta después del partido del domingo.

Travis Kelce is opening up about the one thing everyone is talking about -- his romance with Taylor Swift!!!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end sat down for an interview with the podcast he shares with his brother Jason Kelce called "New Heights," during which Travis admits he no longer has any privacy after Sunday's rendezvous with the pop star.

Check out the video ... Jason kicks off the convo by saying, "We've been avoiding this subject out of respect for your personal life -- now we've got to talk about it."

Travis replies, “My personal life that is not so personal. I did this to myself Jason, I know this.”

Jason asks, “So Trav, how does it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map?"

Travis starts chuckling before launching into how his life has changed since Taylor came into it. He says he's been seeing a lot more camera-wielding paparazzi with British accents outside his home, trying to catch a glimpse of him.

Travis also gave kudos to Taylor for being "pretty ballsy" by showing up at his NFL game and hanging out with his friends and family in his personal suite.

He said she "looked amazing" and everyone saw her in a positive light, adding that it was a game he will never forget. He said the image that sticks out most in his mind was Taylor giving chest bumps and high fives to his mom.

He also mentioned the Taylor friendship bracelet he wore while also claiming he wanted to "respect both our lives."

But Travis never addressed the one burning question on people's minds -- is he dating Taylor Swift?

Taylor and Travis have been hanging out privately over the last few months and there's clearly some sort of relationship ... as we reported, she was sitting on his lap during a party after Sunday's game.

Of course, Travis has been the talk of the town --- and the world for that matter -- after Taylor swooped into Arrowhead Stadium to watch Kansas City trounce the Chicago Bears 41 to 10. After the game, Taylor and Travis were filmed fleeing the media circus in their getaway car -- and the rest is now history.
