Tom Sandoval Big Time Boos at BravoCon Lala Kent Comes to His Defense!!!

Tom Sandoval got the pariah treatment at BravoCon over what happened with Ariana Madix -- and while he had many detractors, he did have one key defender ... Lala Kent.

The 'Vanderpump' panel is underway in Vegas Friday as part of the weekend-long convention -- and as we all expected ... the dude walked out onstage to a chorus of boos from the audience, although it sounds like it might've been more fun booing ... if that's even a thing.

VILLAIN OF THE DAY

Anyway, Tom took it in stride and powered through his questions ... despite the fact that some continued to playfully hiss and jeer as he talked. He's a villain -- and he owns it.

Now, in terms of seating arrangement -- sources on the ground tell TMZ TS and his ex, Ariana Madix, weren't really anywhere near each other while they were up there ... however, we're told that wasn't necessarily done as a result of any sort of request from either of 'em.

In other words ... the higher-ups at Bravo appear to have just plopped the two of them where they ended up by mere chance, probably assuming there's still bad blood over the cheating.

There's certainly unfinished business between AM and Tom -- which was previewed in a sneak peek at Season 11 ... showing Ariana freaking out at somebody, who many have presumed to be Tom. In one particular moment in the trailer, she says ... "Ruin my life, my home, and then fucking attempt to kill my fucking dog. My lawyer will be dealing with you!"

On its face, it would seem she's talking to Tom here ... but time will tell if that's true.

EXPECTING BOMBSHELLS

Anyway ... during the Q&A panel, our sources tell us Lala went to bat for him in front of everyone -- telling the crowd they oughta have some respect for Tom considering he showed up, and continues to put himself out there with his band despite the backlash.

Of course, what's interesting about that lies in what Lala was saying about Tom earlier this year -- including during the reunion, where she was one of the fiercest ones dragging him.

We also got her on camera around that same time ... and there, she called Tom a narcissist.

Now, however, she seems to have changed her tune -- and appears to kinda be in his corner here. The two of them have been tight on the show for years now, so perhaps all the outrage fatigue finally kicked in on her end ... as it has for so many others as well.

Feels like Scandoval might be losing its steam -- at least among the castmates, anyway.

BravoCon 2023 Rachel Leviss Wasn't Invited ... Won't Show Up for Panel

BravoCon 2023 is in full swing, and soon -- the cast of "Vanderpump Rules" will hit the stage to talk shop ... but don't expect to see Rachel Leviss, 'cause she never got a reach-out.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the beleaguered reality star -- who was at the center of Scandoval last season -- was not approached by Bravo brass to attend their convention in Vegas this weekend ... which seems to just further cement her future with the franchise.

We're told not only was RL not invited ... but that she still isn't on speaking terms with any of the current cast members -- including her old flame, Tom Sandoval ... who is attending.

There's been a lot of speculation on Rachel's future involvement with 'Vanderpump' post-Scandoval -- but remember ... Rachel passed on returning for the current season -- which, BTW, is going to premiere in January ... something that was just announced in Sin City.

With no Rachel in the foreseeable future ... it's probably safe to assume that she's over it, 'cause it wouldn't make much sense for her to come back next season to address it all -- people will have almost certainly moved on by then, and the thunder will be long gone.

Her absence from BravoCon also appears to line up with how she's been operating since stepping away from cameras to deal with her mental health ... and from what we can tell, Rachel's turning the page to a new chapter in her life, one that's out of the spotlight.

Rachel's been laying low in Arizona for a while now ... whereas the other 'VP' folks have been very much doing their jobs in L.A. -- including Tom, who's been out and about a lot.

Speaking of him ... he actually dished on how he was feeling ahead of BravoCon this past week, and as you can imagine -- the dude's nervous to share the stage with Ariana Madix.

They're all due to get in front of a crowd any moment now -- we'll see if he was right.

JIMMIE ALLEN Finally Sells Nashville Home ... For $1.75M

Jimmie Allen has officially sold his Nashville home ... five months after putting it on the market amid his marital dramas and bombshell rape allegation made against him.

According to property records, the country star sold his home in Brentwood -- a Nashville suburb -- for $1.75M. The sprawling 5-bed, 5-bath home was initially put on the market for $3M before quickly being slashed to $2.5M a week later.

While the recent selling price isn't a loss for the country crooner, he bought the home in 2020 for $1.5M, for the new owner ... it's a bargain. The modern farmhouse-inspired home sits on 1.5 acres of land with tons of great features, including expansive oversized windows.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Nonetheless, this looks like a fresh start for Jimmie, as it's been a challenging year for him. Earlier this year, we reported that he's countersuing a woman who is accusing him of sexually assaulting her and secretly filming the alleged encounter.

Jimmie is also countersuing his former manager, who is accusing him of sexual abuse. He previously told us there's "no truth" to the allegation.

Meanwhile, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for Jimmie, as he and his wife Alexis are reportedly back together after briefly separating when he confessed to cheating on her. He's publicly apologized to his estranged wife for the affair and for being a poor example for their children.

TOM SANDOVAL NERVOUS TO SHARE BRAVOCON STAGE WITH EX ... 'Fans Will Be Loyal To Ariana'

Tom Sandoval is only hours away from taking the stage with his ex Ariana Madix at BravoCon 2023 ... months after the fallout from his affair with costar Rachel Leviss dominated headlines.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star got candid about this weekend's upcoming Vegas convention -- already (rightfully) predicting a hostile reception from fans who would show their loyalty to #TeamAriana.

Speaking to his pal and costar Tom Schwartz on his ironically-named podcast "Everybody Loves Tom," he added that he was feeling nervous about the impending event.

The former couple's reunion will undoubtedly be awkward ... not just for the exes but for their Bravo costars Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney and James Kennedy, who'll join them onstage for their scheduled panel on Friday.

Tom's affair was one of the biggest celebrity controversies of the year ... dubbed #Scandoval by horrified 'VR' fans after TMZ first broke the story.

Even Rachel -- who initially appeared to stand beside Tom during the repercussions -- has finally seen the light of day and walked away from him.

She recently sold a necklace and some sweatshirts with connections to the Sandoval, and will not appear on the next season of the show ... stepping away to focus on her mental health.

As for Ariana ... after the shock of her then-bf cheating on her, she has been thriving with plenty of biz deals her way.

KIM KARDASHIAN Kanye West renunció a su vida de lujos Por un departamento modesto...

vIVIENDO UNA VIDA SENCILLA
Hulu

Kim Kardashian dice que su ex Kanye West ha cambiado su cuna de lujo por un apartamento sin lujos, pero su hija North está totalmente de acuerdo con ello, animando a su famosa madre a vivir de la misma manera.

La CEO de SKIMS hizo la sorprendente afirmación mientras estaba sentada en un sofá con su hermana Kourtney en el último episodio de "The Kardashians", que se emitió el miércoles en Hulu.

Kim reveló que North visita a Kanye en su humilde morada y la chica de 10 años piensa que su papá es simplemente el mejor y lo tiene "todo resuelto".

Ella citó a North diciendo: "Él no tiene una niñera. No tiene un chef. No tiene seguridad. Vive en un apartamento".

Luego Kim le contó a Kourt, entonces North comenzó a llorar y le preguntó: "¿Por qué no tienes un apartamento? No puedo creer que no tengamos un departamento".

Como todo el mundo sabe, Kim vivió a todo lujo con Kanye durante años mientras estuvieron casados... y todavía lo hace.

Kanye, por otro lado, ha estado viviendo como un nómada, viajando por todo el planeta con su nueva esposa, Bianca Censori, después de que su divorcio finalizara el año pasado.

Entonces, ¿dónde está el misterioso departamento de Kanye? Nadie lo sabe con exactitud. Pero, en mayo, hubo rumores de que Kanye y Bianca se mudaron a un piso de $20K al mes en West Hollywood. Supuestamente, el edificio contaba con una piscina climatizada, una cafetería en la azotea y un cine privado.

Los mantendremos informado.

Kim Kardashian Kanye West Gave Up Life Of Luxury For Stripped Down Apartment

Kim Kardashian says her ex Kanye West has traded in his luxury crib for an apartment with no lavish amenities, but their daughter, North, is totally down with it, encouraging her famous mom to live the same way.

The SKIMS CEO made the shocking claim as she sat on a couch with sis Kourtney in the latest episode of "The Kardashians," which aired Wednesday on Hulu.

Kim revealed North visits Kanye at his humble abode and their 10-year-old thinks her dad's just the best and has it "all figured out."

She quoted North saying ... "He doesn't have a nanny. He doesn't have a chef. He doesn't have security. He lives in an apartment."

Kim then told Kourt ... North started crying and asked, "Why don't you have an apartment? I can't believe we don't have an apartment."

As everyone knows, Kim lived in deep luxury with Kanye for years while they were married -- and she still does.

Kanye, on the other hand, has been living like a nomad, traveling planet Earth with his new wife, Bianca Censori, after his divorce from Kim was finalized last year.

So, where is Kanye's mysterious apartment? No one exactly knows. But, in May, there were rumors Kanye and Bianca moved into a $20K a month flat in West Hollywood. The building was supposedly tricked out with a heated pool, rooftop café and private cinema.

Emily Hampshire Apologizes For Johnny Depp Costume ... After Backlash Online

"Schitt's Creek" star Emily Hampshire is saying sorry for this year's Halloween costume, for which she's catching a lot of flak -- she dressed as Johnny Depp and her friend was Amber Heard.

ICYMI, Emily and her pal mimicked the infamous exes, pairing their outfits with a bottle of wine and even a fake poop -- referencing a low point in Johnny and Amber's trial, when they testified about feces being left in their bed.

The post has been scrubbed from Emily's Instagram and was replaced with a full-throated apology -- "I want to address what is one of the most thoughtless, insensitive, and ignorant things I've ever done" ...  referring to her costume.

She said she's "ashamed for putting something that awful out in the universe," and also condemned domestic abuse and promised she'll "do better" in the future.

Emily was met with some heat online after posting the costume, and some are now thanking her for her apology ... while others are claiming it just wasn't as offensive as she, and her critics, are making out to be.

People disagree. Shocking.

Marcus Jordan I Want Michael To Be My Best Man ... When I Marry Larsa Pippen

HEARING WEDDING BELLS
Pablo Torre Finds Out

Marcus Jordan is hoping his basketball G.O.A.T. father comes around to accept his relationship with Larsa Pippen ... revealing he wants Michael to be his best man when he gets married.

The Hall of Famer's son opened up about his future plans to get hitched to Scottie Pippen's ex-wife on the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast this week ... saying while it's still early on in the process, he knows who he wants by his side at the alter.

"Look, I was the best man at [Michael's] wedding and the best man at my brother's wedding, and so obviously we'll keep that tradition going," Marcus said. "It's my thoughts on it."

It's an interesting choice ... considering MJ famously said earlier this year he was not a fan of the coupling, but Marcus later insisted the Chicago Bulls legend was only joking -- claiming his father does, in fact, approve.

Regardless, Larsa said she was "traumatized" and "embarrassed" by MJ's comments ... saying she didn't find it funny at all.

Of course, the elephant in the room is the fact Marcus' pops and Larsa's ex don't see eye-to-eye anymore ... as Scottie has been public about feeling slighted and glossed over in Jordan's "Last Dance" documentary.

He hasn't shied away from dissing his former teammate ever since ... even stating LeBron James is the greatest NBA player of all time -- not MJ.

Worth noting -- it's unclear if Larcus are even engaged yet ... as the 32-year-old reiterated that their marriage plans are "in the works," but admitted they've had discussions about whether the nuptials will be televised.

Marcus did emphatically state the marriage will happen ... even saying there might be multiple weddings to satisfy the privacy and public interest in their relationship.

BRADLEY COOPER & IRINA SHAYK WEAR MATCHING Costumes ... Take Daughter Trick-or-Treating

Bradley Cooper and his ex-fiancée Irina Shayk can't show a more united front than this -- rocking his and hers costumes for their Halloween night candy run ... with their daughter Lea, of course.

Despite ending their romance 4 years earlier, the actor and supermodel have always come together to co-parent, and they took that up a notch Tuesday night in Manhattan as they both dressed as Rocket Raccoon ... Bradley's "Guardians of the Galaxy" character!

However, little Lea branched out on her own from mom and dad ... making the swift decision to transform into pop star Taylor Swift from her "22" era.

Just like T-Swift did in the video for her 2012 hit, the young Swiftie wore a black fedora, red lipstick, and a white tee with the lyrics, "Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew".

The family made their way through their upscale NYC neighborhood while each parent held Lea's hand as she collected goodies.

As we revealed last month, Irina is no longer dating Tom Brady ... with their brief relationship "fizzling out." The writing had been on the wall for a while as the attractive duo had been in separate cities for a while.

On the other hand, things still seem to be going well for Bradley and model Gigi Hadid ... with the pair being seen together on numerous low-key outings in the last month.

So, a romantic reconciliation doesn't seem to be in the cards for Bradley and Irina right now ... but still nice to see them happily together as a family.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

BRADLEY COOPER & IRINA SHAYK Llevan disfraces de Halloween a juego Para pedir dulces con su hija

Bradley Cooper y su ex-prometida Irina Shayk no pueden mostrar un frente más unido que este. Ayer, ambos estuvieron luciendo disfraces a juego para acompañar a su hija Lea en su carrera por conseguir la mayor cantidad de dulces en la noche de Halloween.

A pesar de que terminaron su romance hace 4 años, el actor y la supermodelo siempre se han unido para su rol de padres. Este martes por la noche en Manhattan, ambos se vistieron como Rocket Raccoon, el personaje de Bradley en "Guardianes de la Galaxia".

Sin embargo, la pequeña Lea decidió apartarse de mamá y papá, y prefirió transformarse en la estrella del pop Taylor Swift de su era "22".

Al igual que T-Swift en el video de su hit de 2012, la joven Swiftie llevaba un sombrero de fieltro negro, labial rojo y una camiseta blanca con la frase "Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew".

La familia anduvo paseando por su lujoso barrio en Nueva York, con cada uno de los padres tomando de la mano de Lea mientras ella recogía golosinas.

Como revelamos el mes pasado, Irina ya no está saliendo con Tom Brady. Su brevísima relación "se esfumó". El destino estaba escrito en piedra desde hace algún tiempo, ya que ambos habían estado viviendo en ciudades separadas.

Por otro lado, las cosas todavía parecen ir bien para Bradley y la modelo Gigi Hadid. La pareja ha sido vista en numerosas salidas de bajo perfil en el último mes.

Por lo tanto, una reconciliación romántica no parece estar en las posibilidades para Bradley e Irina en este momento, pero aún así es agradable verlos felizmente juntos como una familia.

RUNNIN' WITH ROCKY
TMZ.com

A$AP Rocky was more than willing to chat it up with TMZ Hip Hop during his daily workout, and although his workout is jogging at a swift pace ... he invited us to come along -- and, umm, we did our best!!! 😂

The superstar rapper ran our photog straight outta her shoes as he was jogging Monday afternoon in WeHo .... and belted out a hearty laugh when we asked him about Rihanna's desire to have a couple more kids.

Rocky and Rihanna just welcomed their 2nd child, Riot Rose, this past August and have their hands full ... juggling parenthood and their long-delayed projects!!!

Rocky tells us he's currently working on his next album, "Don't Be Dumb," in real-time and fans will be on the edge of their seats wondering if he'll respond to Drake's shots from his "For All the Dogs" album.

Champagne Papi referred to his sexy time with RiRi as "average," and made it clear he didn't envy Rocky's current situation.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

He didn't have much to add to that topic, but did recommend the perfect running shoes for our photog. Watch the clip ... we should definitely take the suggestion. 😉

"Don't Be Dumb" is still expected to drop this year, and we're having lunch on Rocky when it does!!!

A$AP Rocky estaba más que dispuesto a charlar con TMZ Hip Hop durante su entrenamiento diario, y aunque este consiste en trotar a paso rápido, nos invitó a acompañarlo y... mmm, ¡hicimos lo que pudimos! 😂

El rapero superestrella estaba trotando tranquilamente cuando lo encontramos y se echó a reír a carcajadas cuando le preguntamos sobre el deseo de Rihanna de tener un par de hijos más.

Rocky y Rihanna acaban de dar la bienvenida a su segundo hijo, Riot Rose, el pasado mes de agosto y están muy ocupados ¡haciendo malabares con la paternidad y sus proyectos largamente retrasados!

Rocky nos dice que actualmente está trabajando en su próximo álbum, "Don't Be Dumb", en tiempo real y los fans estarán en el borde de sus asientos preguntándose si va a responder a los disparos de Drake de su álbum "For All the Dogs".

Champagne Papi se refirió a su momento sexy con RiRi como "promedio", y dejó claro que no envidiaba la situación actual de Rocky.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

No tenía mucho que añadir a ese tema, pero sí recomendó las zapatillas de correr perfectas para nuestro fotógrafo. Mira el clip, definitivamente deberíamos tomar la sugerencia 😉.

Se espera que "Don't Be Dumb" salga a la venta este año, ¡y vamos a celebrar cuando lo haga!

Matthew Perry Ex prometida reacciona a su muerte... Alivio de que estés en paz

La ex-prometida de Matthew Perry está honrándolo con buenos recuerdos, pero también con algunas duras verdades solo unos días después de su repentino fallecimiento.

Molly Hurwitz, una agente literaria que estuvo con Matthew Perry entre 2018 y 2021, y brevemente comprometida durante ese último año, publicó una foto silueteada de él y agregó estar reflexionando sobre su relación "complicada".

Hurwitz escribe: "A él le encantaría que el mundo esté hablando de lo talentoso que era. Y, realmente tenía mucho talento". Continúa diciendo que vería "Friends" con Matthew y que él estaría orgulloso de su trabajo, señalando ciertas escenas y dándose elogios.

Añade: "Pero obviamente, yo también conocí a ese hombre de una manera muy diferente. Aunque lo quería más de lo que podía comprender, era complicado y me causó un dolor como nunca había conocido. Nadie en mi vida adulta ha tenido un impacto más profundo en mí que Matthew Langford Perry. Tengo una enorme gratitud por eso, por todo lo que aprendí de nuestra relación".

Termina su post mencionando a Alcohólicos Anónimos como un recurso invaluable para las personas que luchan contra la adicción y dice: "Matty, siento alivio de que estés en paz".

Como dijimos, Molly y Matthew iban a casarse en 2021, pero su compromiso se esfumó después de poco más de 6 meses. En ese momento, Perry fue citado diciendo: "A veces las cosas simplemente no funcionan y esta es una de ellas. Le deseo lo mejor a Molly".

Molly es una de las pocas mujeres con las que se lo había relacionado públicamente. Antes había tenido relaciones con Lizzy Caplan, Julia Roberts y Gwyneth Paltrow. Nunca se casó.

Matthew Perry Ex-Fiancée Reacts to Death ... 'Relief You Are at Peace'

Matthew Perry's ex-fiancée is honoring him with fond memories -- but also, some hard truths ... this just days after his sudden passing.

Molly Hurwitz -- a literary manager who was with MP from 2018 to 2021, and briefly engaged during that last year -- posted a tribute to Matt by throwing up a silhouetted photo of him and adding a long caption ... reflecting on their "complicated" relationship.

She writes, "He would love that the world is talking about how talented he was. And, he really was very talented." Molly goes on to say she would watch "Friends" with Matthew and that he'd be proud of the work he did, pointing out certain scenes and giving himself kudos.

MH adds, "But, I obviously knew that man in a very different way, too. While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like I’d never known. No one in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry. I have tremendous gratitude for that, for everything I learned from our relationship."

She finishes her post by mentioning Alcoholics Anonymous as an invaluable resource for people struggling with addiction, and finally says ... "Matty, I feel relief that you are at peace."

Like we said ... Molly and Matthew were set to be married in '21, but their engagement fizzled out after just over 6 months. At the time, Perry was quoted as saying -- "Sometimes things just don't work out and this is one of them. I wish Molly the best."

Molly was one of just a handful of women he'd been linked to publicly ... before her, he'd been in relationships with Lizzy Caplan, Julia Roberts and Gwyneth Paltrow. He never married.

Lance Bass No odien a Justin... ¡¡¡Britney lo perdonó!!!

Lance Bass
"Todos tienen su propia opinión"
TMZ.com

Lance Bass dice que el odio a Justin Timberlake tiene que parar... porque si Britney Spears pudo perdonarlo, todo el mundo puede hacerlo.

Nos encontramos con el miembro de *NSYNC el jueves en LAX y nos dijo que se estaba preparando para leer las nuevas memorias de Britney, que está repleto de historias sobre su exnovio, Justin Timberlake.

Lance dice que la gente que va detrás de Justin por su rol en el aborto de Britney, las acusaciones de engaño y su eventual ruptura debería parar y ser más compasiva.

Aunque Lance cree que todo el mundo tiene derecho a tener su propia opinión sobre el cantante, piensa que las personas deberían tomar nota de la actitud de Britney y ser un poco más tolerante.

El libro de Britney ha sido un gran éxito, y Lance se alegra de que ella haya sido capaz de contar su versión de las cosas, bromeando que debería copiarle y conseguir que Michelle Williams realice la versión de audio de su propio libro de memorias, si alguna vez escribe uno.

Lance Bass Don't Hate On Justin ... Britney Forgives Him!!!

Lance Bass
"EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION"
TMZ.com

Lance Bass says the Justin Timberlake hate needs to stop ... because if Britney Spears can forgive him, so can everyone else.

We got the *NSYNC member Thursday at LAX and he told us he was getting set to read Britney's new memoir, which is chocked full of stories about her ex-boyfriend, JT.

Lance says folks coming after Justin for his role in Britney's abortion, the cheating allegations and their eventual breakup should back off and practice a little forgiveness.

While Lance says everyone is entitled to their own opinion about Justin, he says people should take a note from Britney and just cut the guy some slack.

Britney's book has been a smash hit ... and Lance is glad she's been able to tell her side of things, joking about copying her and getting Michelle Williams to do the audio version should he ever write a memoir.
