Kim Kardashian tiene su médula oblonga representada en tercera dimensión, porque recibió un regalo inusual, una réplica de tamaño natural de su fideo.

La estrella de la realidad publicó un par de videos durante el fin de semana mostrando este regalo de Navidad que ella dice que recibió de una empresa llamada Prenuvo, que hace escáneres de cuerpo completo, y que recibió a Kim y algunos otros miembros de la familia para hacerse exámenes de rutina.

Parece que usaron las imágenes que obtuvieron de su cerebro y le enviaron un modelo 3D para las fiestas. Kim está bastante impresionada con el gesto.

Kim trabajó con Prenuvo a principios de año y animó a la gente a hacerse el escáner con la empresa, señalando que podría detectar algo que normalmente no se detecta. El único problema, para algunos, es que es caro, alrededor de $2.500 por exploración.

Puede que no sea algo que todo el mundo pueda permitirse, pero Kim parece estar agradecida de habérselo hecho.

Kim Kardashian has her medulla oblongata at the forefront of her mind for the holidays -- and the reason is she got a wacky gift ... a life-sized replica of her noodle!

The reality star posted a couple videos over the weekend showing off this Christmas present she says she received from a company called Prenuvo -- which does full-body scans, and which actually hosted Kim and some other family members to do a diagnostic screening.

Looks like they used the imaging they got of her brain, and sent her a 3D model of it for the holidays ... and from what we can tell, Kim's impressed with the thoughtful gesture.

Kim actually worked with Prenuvo earlier in the year, and encouraged people to plunk down for the company's scan ... noting it could detect something you might not normally catch. The only problem, for some, is that it's pricey -- about $2,500 per scan.

Might not be something everyone can afford, but Kim sure sounds thankful she got it done.

Si Chad Johnson tuviera un voto para decidir al jugador más valioso de la NFL, iría por Tyreek Hill. Chad le dijo a TMZ Sports que la lesión que sufrió el jugador el pasado lunes demostró que no hay nadie más valioso que él en la liga.

El Cheetah fue obstaculizado en la primera mitad del juego de los Miami "MNF" contra Tennessee después de que fuera arrastrado por un oponente, y mientras estaba siendo atendido por los entrenadores, la ofensiva normalmente explosiva de los Dolphins de repente pareció acabada.

Tua Tagovailoa recibió un montón de derribos y la buena racha que el equipo se había acostumbrado a ver se evaporó de la nada.

Johnson nos dice que nada de eso es una coincidencia y asegura que todo demostró que Tyreek es el que hace al equipo de los Dolphins de este año.

"Esta es la razón por la que es parte de la conversación sobre los jugadores más valiosos", dijo Johnson. "Sé que este reconocimiento es un premio para los mariscales de campo, pero lo que viste [el lunes] por la noche, durante dos trimestres con la ausencia de Tyreek, representa lo importante que es para ese equipo".

Aunque Hill, que ahora tiene 97 recepciones para 1.542 yardas y 12 TDs esta temporada, eventualmente regresó en la segunda mitad, los Dolphins cayeron ante los Titanes por 28-27.

Johnson cree que la lesión de Hill estará bien en el futuro, aunque el entrenador en jefe del equipo de Miami Mike McDaniel dijo el viernes que el receptor está puesto en duda para el partido de este fin de semana contra los Jets, mientras continúa recuperándose.

If Chad Johnson had an NFL MVP vote, he says it'd go to Tyreek Hill ... telling TMZ Sports the injury the wideout suffered this past Monday night showed there's just no one more valuable than him in the league.

The Cheetah was hindered in the first half of Miami's "MNF" game against Tennessee after he was dragged down by an opponent -- and while his leg was being tended to by trainers ... the Dolphins' normally explosive offense suddenly looked stale.

Tua Tagovailoa took a bunch of sacks -- and the long gains that the team had grown used to seeing evaporated out of nowhere.

Johnson tells us none of that is a coincidence ... saying it all showed Tyreek is the one who makes this year's Dolphins team.

"This is why he belongs in the MVP conversation," Johnson said. "I know the MVP is a quarterback award, but what you saw [Monday] night, for two quarters with the absence of Tyreek, is how important he is to that team."

While Hill -- who now has 97 catches for 1,542 yards and 12 TDs this season -- ultimately returned in the second half, the Dolphins fell to the Titans, 28-27.

Johnson said he anticipates Hill's injury will be fine moving forward -- although Miami head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday the receiver will be questionable for this weekend's game against the Jets as he continues to recover.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took a nasty spill at a concert in Los Angeles -- and the NBA legend ended up in the hospital with a broken hip, TMZ has learned.

His rep, Deborah Morales, tells us ... Kareem was attending the show Friday night -- but it was unclear who was performing and where. Anyway, the former Lakers star center accidentally fell to the floor, shattering his hip.

Paramedics quickly responded and transported Kareem to the hospital for treatment.  His condition was not disclosed.

Morales said Kareem was "deeply appreciative" of the support he received from the Los Angeles Fire Department on site and the "amazing medical team and doctors at UCLA Hospital who are taking great care of (him)."

Based on what his rep is saying, it sounds like Kareem is going to be OK.

Colin Burgess -- the original drummer for AC/DC -- has died, this according to the heavy metal band's Facebook page.

In a statement posted Friday night, the iconic group wrote, "Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess. He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin." His cause of death was not disclosed.

In 1973, Burgess became a member of AC/DC with sibling guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young, singer Dave Evans and bassist Larry Van Kriedt.

Burgess didn't last very long after AC/DC cut their first hit, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" and played their first gig at Chequers nightclub in Sydney, Australia.

Within a year, Burgess was given the boot after the band accused him of getting wasted on stage during a 1974 performance. The drummer tried to save his job by claiming someone had spiked his drink, but his excuse fell on deaf ears.

AC/DC replaced him with a number of other drummers, including longtime member Phil Rudd. The group even re-recorded "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" with Rudd on drums.

Burgess also played drums in a popular Australian rock band called The Masters Apprentices between 1968 to 1972. In 1988, he and the other members of the group were inducted into Australia's ARIA Hall Of Fame.

Burgess was 77.

Colin Burgess, el baterista original de AC/DC, ha muerto, según informa la página oficial de Facebook de la banda de heavy metal.

En un comunicado publicado el viernes por la noche, el emblemático grupo escribió: "Estamos muy triste por el fallecimiento de Colin Burgess. Fue nuestro primer baterista y un músico muy respetado. Felices recuerdos, rockea en paz Colin". Su causa de muerte no fue revelada.

En 1973, Burgess se convirtió en miembro de AC/DC junto a sus hermanos guitarristas Angus y Malcolm Young, el cantante Dave Evans y el bajista Larry Van Kriedt.

Burgess no duró mucho después de que AC/DC grabara su primer éxito, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" y diera su primer concierto en el club nocturno Chequers de Sydney en Australia.

Al cabo de un año, Burgess fue despedido después de que la banda lo acusara de emborracharse en el escenario durante una actuación en 1974. El baterista intentó salvar su puesto alegando que alguien le había echado algo en la bebida, pero su excusa no fue escuchada.

AC/DC lo sustituyó por otros bateristas, incluido Phil Rudd, miembro desde hacía mucho tiempo. El grupo incluso volvió a grabar "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" con Rudd en la batería.

Burgess también tocó la batería en una popular banda de rock australiana llamada The Masters Apprentices entre 1968 y 1972. En 1988, él y los demás miembros del grupo fueron incluidos en el ARIA Hall Of Fame de Australia.

Burgess tenía 77 años.

Mark Zuckerberg's torn ACL won't derail his MMA career ... the Meta founder just revealed he's got plans to continue fighting once his knee heals up.

The 39-year-old provided an update on his recovery on his Instagram on Friday -- just about six weeks after he went under the knife to fix his busted-up knee -- and he said everything is "going well so far."

He then added that he's got about nine months to get healthy enough to step back into an Octagon and resume his fighting dreams.

"I can already walk and bike," he said. "Working towards running for the next couple of months. Then full leg strength."

He added, "Taking the time to do this well and come back stronger."

Zuckerberg, of course, has taken his MMA career very seriously over the last few months -- winning gold and silver in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament earlier this year ... while also famously challenging Elon Musk to a scrap.

Zuck has trained with UFC stars Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski to get pointers on how to get better in the cage as well.

Steve Kerr apparently sees no issues with the NBA's choice to hit Draymond Green with an indefinite ban this week ... saying Thursday his star player's recent behavior just needs to change.

The Warriors head coach opened up on the suspension that Adam Silver levied on his star player earlier this week -- and he made it clear, he's in favor of the lengthy timeout.

"The one who choked Rudy [Gobert], the one who took a wild flail at Jusuf [Nurkic], the one who punched Jordan [Poole] last year -- that's the guy who has to change," Kerr said.

"You look at the past year and what's happened," the coach continued, "it's clear he needs the opportunity to change."

Kerr explained to media members that for much of Green's career, he's not had issues with the power forward ... saying he believes most of Draymond's outbursts prior to 2022 included tolerable yelling at refs or innocuous ball throwing.

However, Kerr said the behavior he's displayed in the last year -- which most recently included taking a swipe at Jusuf Nurkic's face during an altercation in Tuesday night's Warriors vs. Suns game -- just cannot continue.

"To me, this is about more than basketball," Kerr said. "It's about helping Draymond. I think it's an opportunity for Draymond to step away and to make a change in his approach and his life."

A tragedy unfolded for fans of Brazilian gospel singer Pedro Henrique ... as he collapsed onstage in the middle of a performance and died.

The incident happened Wednesday night during a religious event in Brazil, where Pedro was performing a song when he suddenly fell to the floor unconscious ... and it's all on video.

Footage shows Pedro on the edge of the stage interacting with the crowd and singing the song "Vai Ser Tão Lindo" when he appears to lose his balance ... falling backward in front of his band and crashing to the ground.

Once Pedro collapsed onstage, folks rushed over to help him as the horrified crowd watched in shock.

Pedro was rushed from the concert venue to a nearby medical clinic, where he was pronounced dead ... and his record label, Todah Music, says he suffered a massive heart attack.

He was only 30.

"Botched" star Dr. Terry Dubrow is over the moon about Oprah opening up about using weight-loss medication ... 'cause, in his eyes, it's a move that could save lives.

Dr. Dubrow joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live," singing Oprah's praises for admitting she's used meds as part of her weight loss journey ... and telling us the trend of shaming folks for using medication like Ozempic needs to stop.

He says celebs have been hesitant to be as honest as Oprah was ... often attributing their weight loss to working out or hormones, but in the doc's eyes, it's time they felt comfortable to speak candidly.

Dr. Dubrow thinks a really popular celeb, like O, opening up the discussion could start a trend -- or at least a discussion -- that leads to the general public warming to the use of these meds to combat obesity.

As he points out, we wouldn't shame people who take insulin for diabetes ... so doing so for someone who needs it to lose weight is equally ridiculous.

As we reported, Oprah lost 40 lbs this year and told PEOPLE the medicine she was prescribed was a healthier alternative for her -- this after she realized her struggles with weight loss were less about willpower and more about the brain.

La estrella de "Botched", el Dr. Terry Dubrow, está encantado con la honestidad de Oprah al decir que usa medicamentos para bajar de peso, ya que desde su perspectiva, se trata de una medida que podría salvar vidas.

El Dr. Dubrow se unió a nosotros el jueves en "TMZ Live", para elogiar a Oprah por admitir que ha usado medicamentos como parte de su viaje para perder peso y nos dice que la tendencia de avergonzar a la gente por usar remedios como Ozempic tiene que parar.

Él dice que las celebridades han sido reacias a ser tan sinceras como Oprah y a menudo atribuyen su pérdida de peso a las hormonas o al ejercicio, pero en los ojos del doctor, es hora de que se sientan cómodas de hablar con franqueza.

El Dr. Dubrow cree que una celebridad tan popular como Oprah Winfrey podría iniciar una tendencia -o al menos un debate- que lleve al público en general a abrirse al uso de estos medicamentos para combatir la obesidad.

Como señala, no avergonzaríamos a las personas que toman insulina para la diabetes, por lo que hacerlo para alguien que lo necesita para perder peso es igual de ridículo.

Como informamos, Oprah perdió 40 libras este año (unos 18 kilos) y le dijo a la gente que el medicamento que le habían recetado era una alternativa más saludable para ella. Esto, después de que se diera cuenta de que sus luchas con la pérdida de peso tenían menos que ver con la fuerza de voluntad y más con el cerebro.

It sounds like Naomi Osaka and Cordae have the whole parenthood thing figured out ... 'cause the tennis star says the two have made it easy by building "a really good foundation" for their baby girl.

Osaka and the "Gifted" rapper welcomed their daughter, Shai, in July ... and have been so private about raising their daughter, they don't even share photos of her on social media.

The 4-time Grand Slam singles champ briefly gave some inside info on her new role as a mother five months after giving birth ... and revealed Cordae -- who she started dating in 2019 -- is making parenting easy.

"We built a really good foundation," Osaka told InStyle this week. "I don't know if it's because he's just an easygoing guy, but I think we just respect each other's opinions. And if we disagree on something, we talk it out."

"At the end of the day, we both want what's best for Shai."

Osaka also said her pregnancy wasn't the smoothest journey -- the 26-year-old tested positive for a bacterial infection Group B streptococcus, which affects millions of expecting mothers every year.

The infection can lead to sepsis, meningitis, or stillbirth for babies ... and it made Osaka very anxious.

The death of Olympic track and field champ Tori Bowie, who was found dead as a result of childbirth complications about two months before Osaka's delivery date, had her scared as well.

"I was kind of starting to freak out a little bit," Osaka admitted. "There were so many things I wasn't aware of."

But, everything is going well now ... as Shai is a healthy baby girl, Cordae is being a great father, and Osaka -- who started back training in October -- is looking forward to the next Wimbledon and French Open.

Andre Braugher passed away following a battle with lung cancer, TMZ has confirmed.

Andre's rep tells us the Emmy-winning actor was diagnosed with the disease a few months earlier ... and he passed away Monday at age 61.

Andre was a beloved member of the TV community ... having starred in all 153 episodes of the police comedy series, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

His costar Terry Crews thanked Andre for his advice, kindness, and friendship in an emotional tribute after the tragic news emerged.

Andre was also known for his work on NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street" and comedy-drama "Men of a Certain Age" -- while his movie roles included "Frequency," "The Mist," and "City of Angels."

The Julliard alum bagged 2 Primetime Emmy Awards during his celebrated career -- and on the personal front, was husband to Ami Brabson and their 3 children.

Andre Braugher falleció tras una batalla contra el cáncer de pulmón, según ha confirmado TMZ.

El representante de Andre nos dice que el actor y ganador de un Emmy fue diagnosticado hace unos meses con la enfermedad y murió el lunes a los 61 años.

Andre era un miembro muy querido de la comunidad televisiva. El actor protagonizó los 153 episodios de la serie de comedia policial, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine".

Su coprotagonista Terry Crews agradeció a Andre por sus consejos, su amabilidad y su amistad en un emotivo homenaje tras conocer la trágica noticia.

Andre también era conocido por su trabajo en "Homicide: Life on the Street" y la comedia dramática "Men of a Certain Age". Algunos de sus papeles en el cine incluyeron películas como "Frequency", "The Mist" y "City of Angels".

El ex alumno de Julliard obtuvo dos premios Primetime Emmy durante su célebre carrera y en el terreno personal estuvo casado con Ami Brabson y tuvo 3 hijos.

Sydney Sweeney tuvo un adelanto de su próximo papel como Spider-Woman cuando una araña real la mordió en el set de otra película y las cámaras capturaron su reacción.

Normalmente, llamaríamos a esto un blooper común y corriente durante el rodaje de "Anyone But You" —que fue filmada en Australia— pero es difícil reírse cuando ves y oyes sus gritos.

Syd lo describió como un "grito del alma" cuando reveló el clip el miércoles por la noche en "The Tonight Show". Ella dice que se suponía que debía actuar como si la araña Huntsman entrenada la hubiera mordido, pero entonces realmente le dio un mordisco en la mano.

Como se puede ver, sus ojos están muy abiertos en pánico y grita a todo pulmón, mientras intenta convencer a los demás —entre ellos su coprotagonista Glen Powell— que en realidad está siendo mordida y no es una actuación.

Las arañas Huntsman están muy extendidas en Australia, y aunque sus picaduras son dolorosas, su veneno no daña a los humanos. Los médicos en el set de inmediato revisaron a Sydney y ella estaba bien.
