MY WRITERS WROTE IT

Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a dig at her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy during Sunday's Critics Choice Awards in L.A. for his much-criticized Golden Globes performance.

Chelsea was hosting the CCA event onstage at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar last evening when she gave Jo a shot as she served up jokes during her opening monologue.

The comedian set it up like this ... "Unfortunately, Martin Scorsese isn’t here tonight, but that’s not going to stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball." The crowd chuckled.

Then Chelsea hit the punch line ... "Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it."

Ouch, Jo! That must have hurt, especially from an ex! Jo, as you know, got roasted in the press and on social media after his jokes fell flat as host of the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month.

Jo's wisecracks about the film, "Barbie," were met with groans and, when he poked fun at Taylor Swift, she shot him an icy look.

Sensing he was going down in flames, Jo tried to blame his writers for his bad jokes, telling the GG audience, “Some [jokes] I wrote, some other people wrote. Yes, I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right?”

He added, “Slow down, I wrote some of these and they are the ones you are laughing at.”

Last week, Jo tried to clean up his remarks during an LA Times interview, admitting it was a "rookie move" to fault his writers.

Now we'll have to see if Jo responds to Chelsea's jab.

Stay tuned.

Jason Momoa Que no tenga una casa no significa que sea un sin techo...

Jason Momoa está aclarando su situación de vida después de sugerir recientemente que técnicamente podría ser una persona "sin hogar". Ahora está diciendo que simplemente no tiene una morada y que eso no es lo mismo.

El actor hizo nuevos comentarios sobre el tema en People Mag el jueves, después de hacer la sorprendente revelación a ET a principios de esta semana. Esto es, que no tiene "un hogar en este momento" y que está pasando gran parte de su vida en la carretera.

Ahora el actor está aclarando esa observación en una nueva entrevista, diciéndole a People: "Solo estoy sin casa. No soy un sin techo. Tengo una bonita caravana". Y añade: "Todo el mundo dice: 'Jason Momoa es una persona sin hogar'. Yo digo: 'Tranquilos. Tengo un puto saco de dormir'". Mmm... okay.

Jason Momoa también dice esto: "No he comprado una casa todavía y estoy emocionado de hacerlo algún día". Piensa que cuando finalmente compre una casa, la gente dirá... "Santo cielo, ahora tiene una almohada".

Si bien puede sonar un poco chocante escuchar que Jason, que es una estrella de la lista A, no tiene propiedad, él dice en esas entrevistas que está muy bien y que la razón radica en el hecho de que está muy ocupado con películas y otros proyectos.

En resumidas cuentas... que no tenga un techo propio es una decisión totalmente suya y no es por falta de medios. Al contrario, el tipo está absolutamente forrado y simplemente prefiere este estilo de vida en este momento.

Curiosamente, tiene una nueva docuserie a punto de estrenarse llamada "On the Roam" y narra exactamente eso: Jason Momoa recorriendo el país y reuniéndose con gente interesante.

Por supuesto, el telón de fondo de esta noticia es el hecho de que él y Lisa Bonet acaban de completar su divorcio la semana pasada. Es bueno saber que no tendrán que preocuparse por quién se queda con la casa... porque parece que no habrá ninguna que repartir. 😅

Como se suele decir, papa was a rolling stone.

Jason Momoa Look, I Just Don't Have a House RN ... Doesn't Mean I'm Homeless

Jason Momoa is clarifying his living situation after recently suggesting he might technically be "homeless" -- now saying he's simply without an abode ... noting it ain't the same thing.

The actor dished some fresh comments on the subject to People Mag Thursday -- this after making the startling revelation to ET earlier in the week ... namely, saying he didn't "have a home right now." He went on to note that he's largely living his life on the road right now.

Welp, he somewhat cleared up that remark in this new interview -- telling People ... "I'm just houseless. I'm not homeless. I have a nice trailer." He goes on to say, "Everyone's like, 'Jason Momoa's homeless.' I'm like, ‘Relax. I got a f***ing sleeping bag." Hmm ... okay.

JM also says this ... "I've never bought a house yet, so I'm excited to one day." He thinks when he does eventually purchase a pad, folks will say ... "Holy s***. He's got a pillow now."

While it might sound a little shocking to hear that Jason -- who's a freaking A-lister -- doesn't own property ... he does point out in these interviews that he's doing just fine ... and that the reason lies in the fact that he's so damn busy with movies and other projects.

Bottom line ... him not having his own roof over his head is entirely his decision -- and it's not for a lack of means. On the contrary, the guy's absolutely loaded ... he just prefers this lifestyle at the moment.

Interestingly enough, he's got a new docuseries coming out called "On the Roam" ... and it chronicles exactly that -- JM traversing the country and meeting with interesting people.

Of course, the backdrop to this news is the fact that he and Lisa Bonet just finalized their divorce this past week. Good to know they won't have to worry about figuring out who gets the house ... 'cause it sounds like there just might not be one to divvy up. 😅

As they say ... papa was a rolling stone.

Anderson .Paak Solicita el divorcio de su esposa Jae Lin

Anderson .Paak se está divorciando y poniendo fin a un matrimonio largo y muy privado que parece haberse desmoronado muy de repente ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El cantante acaba de presentar los documentos legales para pedir la disolución del matrimonio con su esposa, Jae Lin, con quien ha estado casado durante mucho tiempo.

De hecho, a diferencia de lo que se pensaba, AP cita el 2010 como el año en que se casaron y no el 2011 como todos creían.

Ahora, en cuanto a su fecha de separación, parece que ni Anderson lo sabe, pues dejó en blanco esa casilla en el papeleo y simplemente escribió "TBD".

Sin embargo, no oculta el hecho de que quiere un divorcio directo, a diferencia de una separación legal, y nombra a sus dos hijos menores de edad como individuos con los que tendrá que negociar la custodia, y de buenas a primeras, parece dispuesto a compartir los deberes de crianza.

Anderson señala en su solicitud que él y Jae quieren tener la custodia legal y física conjunta de sus hijos, con un régimen de visitas para ambos. En términos de la división de sus bienes y propiedades, Anderson .Paak dice que él y su equipo legal todavía tienen que determinar quién es el dueño de qué.

Como hemos dicho, han sido pareja desde hace un tiempo y Anderson es bastante discreto con su vida privada, a pesar de que, profesionalmente, se ha disparado en los últimos años.

No había indicios de problemas en el horizonte, pero es evidente que algunas dificultades se estaban gestando tras bambalinas.

Anderson .Paak Files to Divorce Wife Jae Lin ... Wants to Share Custody

Anderson .Paak is getting divorced -- ending a lengthy and very private marriage that seems to have fallen apart very suddenly ... TMZ has learned.

The singer just filed legal docs asking for a dissolution of marriage from his wife, Jae Lin ... to whom he's been hitched for a long time. In fact, contrary to the year the public seems to have thought they tied the knot (2011) ... AP cites 2010 as the year they got married.

Now, as far as their separation date ... it doesn't sound like Anderson even knows when that was -- 'cause he leaves it blank here in the paperwork, and simply writes "TBD."

Still, he makes no bones about the fact that he wants a straight-up divorce -- as opposed to a legal separation -- and goes on to list their two minor children as individuals they'll need to hash out custody over ... and right off the bat, he seems willing to share parenting duties.

Anderson notes in his filing that he wants himself and Jae to have joint legal and physical custody of their kids ... with a visitation schedule for both of them. In terms of divvying up their assets/property ... AP says he and his legal team still need to ascertain who owns what.

Like we said, they've been a couple for a while now -- and Anderson's pretty low-key about his private life ... even though, professionally, he's been skyrocketing over the past few years.

There's been no indication that we can see there was trouble on the horizon, but clearly ... some issues were brewing behind the scenes.

Ryan Shazier Files For Divorce From Wife

Ryan Shazier is officially calling things off with Michelle Shazier ... filing for divorce from his longtime partner less than two months after she publicly accused him of cheating.

According to court records obtained by TMZ Sports, the former NFL star filed the docs on Wednesday.

No further details surrounding the matter were revealed, however, as a court has ordered the case to be sealed.

An attorney for Ryan declined to comment when we reached out on Thursday.

As we previously reported, Michelle went scorched earth on Ryan back in late November, claiming he sent raunchy texts to another woman.

The messages, she said, showed Ryan flirting ... before sending links to books filled with sexual content.

"Infidelity at its finest!" Michelle said in a caption on her post of the images of the messages. "I can't sit here and keep hiding anymore . You can have it. I deserve better. 🤍 This is Ryan… he’s a liar and a cheater!"

Ryan said in a statement to TMZ Sports at the time of the allegations, "Michelle and I have been living apart and are currently separated. As we work through what comes next for our family, I ask for privacy and prayers."

Michelle and Ryan -- who have raised two boys together -- met well before he suffered his catastrophic spine injury in 2017. They married in 2019.

Sam Asghari Postea una foto con Brad Pitt ... ¿trolea a Britney Spears?

Sam Asghari posó junto a nada más ni nada menos que Brad Pitt esta semana y la foto podría ser una indirecta a su ex Britney Spears, que históricamente ha estado encaprichada con la mega estrella de la lista A.

Sam publicó algunas fotos suyas junto a Brad Pitt en la exposición de arte del director de "Moneyball", Bennett Miller, en Beverly Hills el jueves por la noche, afirmando que obtuvo "un montón de buenos consejos sobre el cuidado de la piel del mismo hombre". La foto muestra a un Sam muy brillante, junto a un prístino Brad.

Por cierto, la galería de Bennett combina la inteligencia artificial con la historia de la fotografía y trabaja con un generador de imágenes DALL-E para hacer sus piezas. La razón por la que esto es importante es porque algunos han levantado una ceja de sospecha... preguntándose si realmente era el verdadero McCoy.

Algunas personas han dicho que la foto de Sam y Brad parece un poco retocada. No está claro si ese es el caso, pero definitivamente ese es el verdadero Brad Pitt. Hay otras fotos suyas circulando por Internet en este momento. Así que Sam no está aprovechándose.

Ahora, sobre el tema de Britney, ella ha admitido que Brad fue su primer amor con una celebridad y ha estado un poco obsesionada con él durante décadas, francamente, ¿quién no?

Cuando Sam y Britney se comprometieron en 2022, Sam se tropezó con una foto sin camisa de Brad en "Thelma & Louise" y enmarcada en su casa, a lo que Britney respondió: "The one and only". Él se lo tomó con humor y ha hecho bromas sobre Brad en línea también.

011224_sam_asghari_kal
10 veces mejor que ese tipo!!!

Brit también publicó -y luego borró- una foto de Brad Pitt joven en su Instagram el año pasado y dijo que lo hizo "porque se parece mucho a su tío". Interpreten eso como quieran. El caso es que... parece que Sam tuvo la oportunidad de conocer al hombre y la aprovechó.

Teniendo en cuenta que sabe mucho del amor de Britney por Brad, hay que preguntarse si estaba muy ansioso por publicar estas fotos, tal vez para restregárselo en la cara un poco después del divorcio. Quién sabe.

De todos modos, Brad todavía se ve muy bien, así que les dejamos una pequeña galería del hombre para disfrutar de sus formas de ensueño.

Que lo disfruten.

Sam Asghari Posts Picture With Brad Pitt ... Trolling 'Obsessed' Britney Spears?

Sam Asghari posed alongside none other than Brad Pitt this week -- and the snap could be a dig at his ex, Britney Spears ... who's historically been infatuated with the mega A-lister.

Sam posted some pics of himself and BP at "Moneyball" director Bennett Miller's art exhibit in Beverly Hills Thursday night -- claiming he got "a lot of great skin care tips with the man himself." The photo itself features a very glossy-looking Sam, next to a pristine Brad.

BTW, Bennett's gallery combines AI with the history of photography, working with a DALL•E image generator to make his exhibit pieces -- and the reason that's relevant is because some have raised an eyebrow on this photo ... wondering if it's actually the real McCoy.

Some folks have pointed out the fact that the snap of Sam and Brad looks a little touched up -- unclear if that's the case, but this is definitely the real BP ... other photos of him there are circulating online right now. So Sam isn't pulling a fast one.

Sam's rep, Brandon Cohen of BAC Talent, tells TMZ ... Sam was honored to be in the room of great talent and artists to support Bennett Miller. Sources at the event tell us Sam and Brad bonded over the acting business.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

Now, on the subject of Britney ... she's admitted in the past that Brad was her first celebrity crush ... and has been a bit obsessed with him for decades -- frankly, who hasn't, right?

When Sam and Britney were engaged back in 2022, Sam stumbled upon a framed, shirtless pic of Brad in "Thelma & Louise" inside their home ... to which Britney responded, "The one and only." He kinda poked fun at her about ... and he's made jokes about Brad online too.

011224_sam_asghari_kal
10X BETTER THAN THAT GUY!!!

Brit also posted -- then deleted -- a photo of young Brad Pitt on her Instagram last year, and said she shared it "because he looks so much like my uncle" ... so take that for what you will. The point is ... it looks like Sam got his opportunity to meet the dude and he took it.

Considering he very much knows about Britney's love for Brad ... you gotta wonder if he was extra eager to post these pics -- perhaps to rub it in her face a bit post-divorce. Who knows!

Anyway, Brad still looks great ... so here's a little look back at the guy and his dreamy ways.

Enjoy, y'all.

Kim and Kroy Bank Says It Has Right To Foreclose

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are still beefing with a bank over their Georgia mansion ... and now the bank says it has every right to foreclose on the place to collect the money it’s owed.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Truist Bank claims the couple defaulted on their mortgage … and now the bank has the right to foreclose on their mansion.

Kim and Kroy are going through a messy divorce, but they're still living inside the family residence ... remember, Kroy's got the primary bedroom and Kim has the nanny suite and basement.

Truist Bank says it's well aware of the divorce proceedings, but it claims that's not enough to block its foreclosure rights.

TMZ broke the story ... in October, Kim and Kroy asked a judge to stop the bank's foreclosure auction so they could sell it on their own ... and they've slashed the price on the estate to $5.5 million.

Truist Bank says it voluntarily delayed the auction in November ... but Kim and Kroy haven't been able to sell it themselves, and now the bank is apparently getting impatient and intends to exercise its foreclosure rights so it can collect on the debt.

Blac Chyna Ex-BF Exposes Tokyo Toni Thirsting For Her Sloppy Seconds!!!

Blac Chyna a.k.a. Angela White's mother Tokyo Toni is sneaking behind her back hoping to get into her daughter's ex-boyfriend's pants ... at least that's what these leaked DMs suggest.

Chyna and rapper Lil Twin Hector dated for a couple of years before breaking up in 2020 but on Thursday he confirmed his claims that Toni was sending him explicit DMs on Instagram -- by posting the explicit DMs on Instagram for all the world to see.

Very nasty work on display ... Toni initially hit up Twin, apparently threatening to take a flight just to beat up her daughter, which prompted Twin to send her a passionate message asking to fill her heart with love.

It turned out to be bait for a thirst trap ... Tokyo swore up and down Chyna was jealous of her natural body and then bared it all in the DMs in an attempt to arouse Twin.

The breaking point for Twin came when Tokyo sent him a clip of her while covered in blankets ... and pounding on her poom-poom.

Hector was so disgusted that he made a diss track/video titled "Ms Toni" and included the DMs as visual evidence.

Neither Chyna nor Toni have responded to the latest unfolding ... but is it really that surprising for mothers and daughters to have the same taste in men???

El exnovio de Blac Chyna expone DMs sexualmente explícitos de Tokyo Toni

La madre de Blac Chyna a.k.a. Angela White —Tokyo Toni—, se está escabullendo a sus espaldas con la esperanza de meterse en los pantalones del ex novio de su hija, al menos eso es lo que sugieren estos mensajes filtrados.

Chyna y el rapero Lil Twin Hector salieron durante un par de años antes de romper en 2020, pero el jueves se confirmaron las afirmaciones de que Toni le estaba enviando mensajes explícitos por Instagram... publicándolos para que todo el mundo los vea.

011124_tokyo_toni_kal 1/11/24
muy explícito

Es algo bastante subido de tono... al parecer, Toni amenazó a Twin con coger un vuelo solo para darle na lección a su hija, lo que provocó que Twin le enviara un apasionado mensaje pidiéndole que llenara su corazón de amor.

Resultó ser una trampa... Tokio juró una y otra vez que Chyna estaba celosa de su cuerpo natural y luego atacó con mensajes en un intento de excitar a Twin.

El punto de ruptura para Twin llegó cuando Tokio le envió un video de ella mientras estaba cubierta de mantas.

Héctor estaba tan disgustado que hizo un video titulado "Ms Toni" e incluyó los mensajes como evidencia visual.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Ni Chyna ni Toni han respondido, pero ¿es realmente tan sorprendente que madres e hijas tengan el mismo gusto en los hombres?

Lukas Gage está aclarando los comentarios que hizo sobre una aplicación de citas. Dice que no deben ser interpretados como un golpe a su ex marido, Chris Appleton.

Nos encontramos con la estrella de "White Lotus" el martes cerca del gimnasio DOGPOUND en West Hollywood y nuestro fotógrafo le preguntó si estaba faltándole el respeto a Chris con su indirecta sobre Raya, una red social privada basada en las membresías.

Recuerden, cuando nos encontramos con Lukas la semana pasada, después de que su perfil de Hinge acabara de aparecer, nos dijo que se fue con Hinge en vez de Raya porque estaba buscando a personas "reales" y no "influencers".

Algunos tomaron las palabras de Lukas como un dardo hacia su marido separado, ya que Chris es un estilista de celebridades.

Pero Lukas está conteniendo el ruido en ese frente, diciéndonos que no estaba criticando a Chris y que todo está bien con su ex.

Parece que Lukas está al tanto de los rumores y está aclarando las cosas.

La ex esposa de Kevin HartTorrei Hart— dice que no hay ninguna pelea entre su ex novio y Katt Williams, esto después de afirmar que saldría de gira con Katt después de unas palabras poco amables.

Torrei aclaró las cosas cuando la encontramos saliendo de la Hollywood Improv el martes por la noche, cerrando los rumores de mala sangre señalando que Kev es muy pacífico, tal como él mismo nos dijo más temprano el mismo día.

Es más, Torrei está segura de que no la sumaron a la gira de tres noches de Katt como una indirecta hacia Kevin, porque ella y Katt han estado cerca desde hace dos décadas, así que no puede haber sido una contratación al azar.

Recordemos que Kevin y Torrei se divorciaron en 2011, pero ella dice que todavía están muy unidos e incluso está dispuesta a hacer algunas giras con él, ¡aunque él tendría que hacer el trabajo pesado!

Kevin podría haber opinado bastante diferente teniendo en cuenta la bofetada que Katt le dio con sus dichos, diciendo en el pódcast de Shannon Sharpe que el comediante es solo una "planta" de la industria, entre otros insultos.

Kevin respondió a Katt en ese momento, diciéndole que tenía que sacar el odio de su pecho.

A menos que oigamos otra cosa de Katt sobre el asunto, parece que todo está bien entre la ex pareja, aunque hay que admitir que las circunstancias son algo sospechosas.

Shanna Moakler ain't sparing any of her exes ... blasting Oscar De La Hoya over how their relationship ended.

The former Miss USA claims she was blindsided after watching Oscar on TV attending the Latin Grammy Awards in L.A. with his now ex-wife Millie ... telling Bunnie XO's on her 'Dumb Blonde' Podcast he told her he was going to NYC for a work trip at the time.

She says a lawyer came to her Bel-Air mansion the next day ... ordering her to move out with their baby daughter, Atiana immediately.

Shanna adds Oscar told her he wasn't happy she sued him for child support when they met up IRL a month later ... warning if she sued him for palimony, he wouldn't see her or the baby until she was 16 cause he had more money than God.

Oscar was true to his word ... Shanna says he didn't see his daughter until she was around 16.

They dated for 3 years from 1997 -- even getting engaged in the process.

Kevin Hart's ex-wife, Torrei Hart, says there's no feud going on between her former boo and Katt Williams ... this after she said she'd be touring with Katt following unkind words.

Torrei cleared the air while leaving the Hollywood Improv Tuesday night, shutting down rumors of bad blood -- pointing out the fact that Kev's a lover, as the man himself told us earlier in the day.

What's more, Torrei's positive she wasn't brought onto Katt's 3-night tour as a dig to Kevin ... 'cause she and Katt have been close for 2 decades now, so this couldn't have been a random hire.

Remember, Kevin and Torrei got divorced back in 2011, but she says they're still tight ... and she's even down to do some touring with him, too -- but he'd have to do the heavy lifting!
