TERESA GIUDICE at BravoCon FIRES BACK AT FEISTY 'RHONJ' FAN ... Panel Erupts Into Chaos!!

FEUDING WITH A FAN

Teresa Giudice went full New Jersey alongside one of her 'RHONJ' costars after a fan poked the bear at BravoCon ... forcing them to tell this lady off in true trash reality TV fashion.

The 'Real Housewives' star was sharing the stage with Jennifer Aydin -- who's also on the show --- when someone in the audience asked them something out of pocket during a Q&A section Sunday in Vegas. The query wasn't very PG at all ... take a look for yourself.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

You can tell this rubbed Teresa and Jen the wrong way ... 'cause they both stood up and started mouthing off to the audience member, telling her they're good friends and that they have each other's backs -- and NOT each other's "ass*****" as this woman suggested.

That wasn't the only drama that unfolded during this panel ... later on, Teresa revealed where she stood in her relationship with her estranged brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa ... basically admitting that they were not on good terms.

BOOED AT BRAVOCON
Whitney Vasquez/RadarOnline

In a brutal swipe ... she added that her and Joe's parents were dead -- meaning, in her eyes, there's no reason to mend their relationship ... a response that got major boos.

One person she has kept in touch with, though ... her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, who now lives in the Bahamas after being deported from the States in 2019 for fraud. They're still tight, apparently.

Teresa went on to confirm her ex was doing great and that she'd be spending New Year's Eve with him in the Bahamas -- along with their daughters, of course ... as both she and Joe have respectively moved on to new significant others.

Teresa also expressed hopes for him to come back to the States because she believed he should not have gotten deported and "it wasn't fair what happened to him."

Long story short ... Teresa's time at BravoCon was about as rowdy as you'd expect.

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.

110323-tom-sandoval-booed-kal
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
TMZ.com

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.

READY FOR THE WORST
Everybody Loves Tom

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.

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

READY FOR THE WORST
Everybody Loves Tom

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.

BACK ON SET
BACKGRID

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.

Celine Dion Resurfaces after 3 1/2 Years at Hockey Game ... As She Battles Stiff-Person Syndrome

REMARKABLE RECOVERY
Montreal Canadiens

Celine Dion made an appearance Monday in Vegas ... and the images are remarkable, given what she's been going through.

Celine hit up a hockey game at the T-Mobile Arena between the Vegas Golden Knights and her hometown team, the Montreal Canadiens.

OUT AND ABOUT
TMZ.com

Although her team lost, everyone was in good spirits in the locker room afterward as Celine chatted up the team and seemed in great spirits.

As you know, she's been struggling with stiff-person syndrome, an extremely painful neurological disorder that triggers sometimes unbearable muscle spasms.

The video and photos are kind of astonishing ... there have been no photos of the singer for 3 1/2 years. She hasn't performed and has released almost all of her staff as she deals with her illness.

Celine's sons, René-Charles, and twins Nelson and Eddy were with her, and posed with a couple players.

IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE

Celine told the world late last year she was suffering from the disease and explained her music career was on hold until she could put her illness in check.

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

Celine Dion Reaparece tras 3 años y medio Mientras lucha contra el síndrome de persona rígida

110123_canadiens_mtl_kal 11/01/23
Extraordinaria recuperación
Montreal Canadiens

Celine Dion hizo una aparición el lunes en Las Vegas y las imágenes son notables, teniendo en cuenta lo que ha estado viviendo en el último tiempo.

Celine llegó a un partido de hockey en el T-Mobile Arena entre los Vegas Golden Knights y el equipo de su ciudad natal, los Canadiens de Montreal.

Aunque su equipo perdió, todo el mundo estuvo de buen humor en los vestuarios después del juego. Celine conversó con el equipo y parecía estar de muy buen humor.

Como ustedes saben, la cantante ha estado luchando con el síndrome de persona rígida, un trastorno neurológico extremadamente doloroso que desencadena espasmos musculares, a veces insoportables.

El video y las fotos son un poco sorprendentes. No ha habido registros fotográficos de la cantante en tres años y medio. Ella no ha actuado y ha liberado a casi todo su personal mientras se ocupa de su enfermedad.

Los hijos de Celine, René-Charles y los gemelos Nelson y Eddu también estuvieron con ella el lunes, y posaron con algunos jugadores.

Celine le dijo al mundo que sufría la enfermedad a fines del año pasado y explicó que su carrera musical estaba en suspenso hasta que pudiera contener sus problemas de salud.

Ed Sheeran Crashes Chainsmokers' Vegas Show ... After Wrapping U.S. Tour

Ed Sheeran celebrated the end of his North American tour with a major cameo for none other than the Chainsmokers, who shared the spotlight ... and some of their drinks, it seems.

The singer wrapped the U.S. leg of his tour Saturday at Allegiant Stadium -- and once he was done with his own gig ... he scurried on over to XS Nightclub within the Wynn Las Vegas casino-resort, where Alex Pall and Drew Taggart were spinning records for fans.

103123_ed_sheeran_kal
CELEBRATING WITH CHAINSMOKERS

Ed popped in during their set ... and the EDM duo welcomed him with open arms and free booze!

We're told ES fully enjoyed himself alongside the Chainsmokers, guzzling champagne and dancing his heart out as the music played. Of course, he treated everyone to some of his own talents -- crooning a few of his hits like "Shape of You," "Perfect," and "Bad Habits."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It also sounds like he supplemented Halsey's vocals when the boys played their song 'Closer' ... which must've been quite something for anyone lucky enough to catch this show.

Yet another testament to Sin City's music appeal these days ... it's truly the place to be.

ED SHEERAN APARECE EN EL CONCIERTO DE CHAINSMOKERS EN LAS VEGAS Tras finalizar su gira por EE.UU.

Ed Sheeran celebró el final de su gira norteamericana con un gran cameo de nada menos que los Chainsmokers, quienes compartieron el centro de atención y algunas de sus bebidas.

El cantante terminó la parte estadounidense de su gira el sábado en el Estadio Allegiant, y una vez que terminó su concierto, se escabulló a XS Nightclub dentro del casino-resort Wynn Las Vegas, donde Alex Pall y Drew Taggart estaban pinchando discos para los fans.

103123_ed_sheeran_kal
celebrando con CHAINSMOKERS

Ed apareció durante su set y el dúo EDM le dio la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos y bebida gratis.

Nos han dicho que Ed se lo pasó en grande junto a los Chainsmokers, bebiendo espumante y bailando como un loco mientras sonaba la música. Por supuesto, deleitó a todos cantando algunos de sus éxitos como "Shape of You", "Perfect" y "Bad Habits".

También parece que complementó la voz de Halsey cuando los chicos tocaron su canción "Closer", que debe haber sido bastante para cualquiera que haya tenido la suerte de ver este espectáculo.

Otro testimonio más del atractivo musical de Sin City en estos días... es realmente el lugar donde hay que estar.

ADELE HOMENAJEA A MATTHEW PERRY EN UN CONCIERTO EN LAS VEGAS

recordando a MATTHEW PERRY

Matthew Perry fue el gran tema del sábado, y Adele no se quedó atrás, y le rindió homenaje a la estrella de "Friends" durante su show en Las Vegas.

Adele llamó al personaje de Perry, Chandler Bing, "probablemente el mejor personaje cómico de todos los tiempos".

TMZ publicó la historia, Perry fue encontrado muerto en su jacuzzi el sábado a causa de un presunto ahogamiento.

Adele continuó: "Siempre es tan impactante, especialmente alguien que no conoces y que te hizo reír y trajo tanta alegría a tu vida. Esto es lo que me parece tan extraño, nunca lo conocí en mi vida. Hay algo... te sientes tan triste, especialmente porque no sabes necesariamente lo que estaba pasando".

Adele, vestida para Halloween como Morticia Adams, dedicó "When We Were Young" a Perry.

Adele dijo: "Él era tan abierto respecto a sus luchas contra la adicción y la sobriedad... creo que fue increíblemente, increíblemente valiente".

Perry tenía 54 años.

REMEMBERING MATTHEW PERRY

Matthew Perry was all people were talking about Saturday, and Adele was among them ... paying tribute to the "Friends" star during her Vegas show.

Adele called Perry's character, Chandler Bing, "probably the best comedic character of all time."

TMZ broke the story ... Perry was found dead in his jacuzzi Saturday from a presumed drowning.

Adele went on ... "It is always so shocking, especially someone that made you laugh and who brought so much joy to your life that you don't know. This is what I find so strange, I never met him in my life. There is something, you feel so sad about it especially because you don't necessarily know what was going on."

Adele, dressed for Halloween as Morticia Adams, dedicated "When We Were Young" to Perry.

Adele echoed what people have been saying since news of Perry's death broke, saying ... "He was so open with his struggles with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave."

Perry was 54.

Christy Georges-Barnett Race Car Driver Reveals $1M+ Check ... After Huge Casino Win

WINNING BIG
TMZSports.com

Race car driver Christy Georges-Barnett is still finding it hard to believe she won over $1 million at a Las Vegas slot machine ... but, yes, she is indeed now rich -- and she's showing TMZ Sports the massive check that proves it!!

The 63-year-old -- who drives USRA Dirt Mods and Super Trucks -- revealed a copy of the payment ... just a couple days after she was seen on video winning the cash at Caesar's Palace earlier this month.

"I can't even describe it to you. I still don't believe it," Georges-Barnett said this week. "It was like the biggest shock of my life."

JACKPOT!!!
TikTok/@joelissac__

"I couldn't even say anything. All I could do was go around in circles like a dummy and just say, 'Oh, my God! I just hit a million dollars.'"

Georges-Barnett said the surreal moment happened around 11 PM at the Dragon Link machine in the high roller room ... where she had won several small prizes before hitting the big $1 million.

That's when casino officials came over to the machine to see if she wanted the dough in cash or a check.

"I want a check for a million dollars," she said. "I wanna be able to show that off."

Georges-Barnett tells us her plans for the $1 million are to help a few people out, put some toward her and her husband's Barnett Harley Davidson shop, and save the rest.

As for advice to slot lovers out there, Georges-Barnett says she has zero ... telling us her trick is simply to talk to the machines before they deliver jackpots.

"The biggest one that I've ever won before that was $50,000," Georges-Barnett said. "I've won a lot of $30,000s and $20,000s and stuff like that, but never nothing like this."

Lady Gaga Joins U2 At Las Vegas Sphere ... Singin' 'Shallow' Together

102623-lady-gaga-U2-kal
WORLDS COLLIDE
Instagram / @celioashcar

Lady Gaga just made her own special debut at the Sphere in Las Vegas ... performing her hit track from "A Star Is Born" during a surprise appearance at U2's show.

The singer joined Bono and co. at the one-of-a-kind venue Wednesday night to sing "Shallow" -- a true treat for the massive crowd.

Those in the audience even joined in, with LG and Bono giving the crowd a chance to belt out the chorus for the Oscar-winning track.

That's not all, though -- Gaga also performed with U2 for the band's 1988 song, "All I Want Is You" ... making fans go nuts once again.

This ain't the first time the 2 forces of music teamed up, BTW ... you'll recall, she made a surprise appearance in 2015 during U2's "Innocence + Experience Tour," jamming out to "Ordinary Love."

Gaga's recent Sphere pop-in comes on the heels of her jumping on stage with the Rolling Stones in New York last week ... not to mention her brief appearance on Bad Bunny's episode of "Saturday Night Live."

Gotta say, if U2 is tryin' to make surprise appearances a regular thing during their Sphere residency ... it's gonna be hard to top Gaga.

Lady Gaga Se une a U2 en la esfera de Las Vegas Cantan 'Shallow' juntos

Choque de mundos
Instagram / @celioashcar

Lady Gaga acaba de hacer su especial debut en la esfera de Las Vegas, interpretando su éxito de "A Star Is Born" durante una aparición sorpresa en el show de U2.

La cantante se unió a Bono y compañía en el extraordinario lugar la noche del miércoles para cantar "Shallow", un verdadero placer para la multitud.

Lady Gaga y Bono le ofrecieron a la multitud la oportunidad de corear el estribillo de la canción ganadora de un Oscar.

Pero eso no es todo: Gaga también actuó con U2 para la canción de 1988 de la banda, "All I Want Is You", haciendo que los fans se volvieran locos una vez más.

Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que las dos fuerzas de la música se unen, como recordarán la cantante hizo una aparición sorpresa en 2015 durante la gira "Innocence + Experience Tour" de la banda, improvisando con "Ordinary Love".

La reciente aparición de Gaga en la esfera viene tras su salto al escenario con los Rolling Stones en Nueva York la semana pasada, por no hablar de su breve aparición en el episodio de Bad Bunny en "Saturday Night Live".

Hay que decir que si U2 está tratando de hacer de las apariciones sorpresa algo habitual durante su residencia en The Sphere, va a ser difícil superar a Gaga.
