Una nueva figura de cera de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tiene a los fans preguntándose en qué diablos estaba pensando el artista cuando hizo el trabajo, y muchos están usando sus redes sociales para expresar sus preocupaciones.

Esta es la cuestión, Dwayne ha sido hornado -o, tal vez no tanto- en una nueva figura de cera para el Museo Grevin de París, pero los fans del actor se han quedado bastante decepcionados por la forma en que se ve.

Algunos dicen que la idea de poner a Dwayne en un traje que grita "papá" fue una mala decisión, mientras que muchos otros aseguran que el tono de piel no es exacto... uno simplemente escribió: "Bro, es blanco".

Aparte de Mr. Clean y Pitbull, dos rostros con los que ha sido comparada esta nueva figura, hay otra persona con la que sus seguidores en X dicen que se parece más: Vin Diesel, su coprotagonista en las películas de "Fast & Furious".

Como ya les contamos, los dos han tenido problemas en el set en el pasado, que incluso llevaron a Dwayne a dejar la serie, por lo que algunos están augurando lo enojado que estará cuando se entere de que se parece más a Dom Toretto que a él mismo.

Lance Bass is not the Swifties' lord and savior -- something he made abundantly clear at Monday night's Chargers game ... in hilarious fashion, no less.

The *NSYNC star was among a handful of stars at SoFi stadium during MNF -- and as the broadcast was going and cutting to different people in the crowd ... they eventually landed on LB, who was sitting in a private suite with his crew.

It looks like he was ready for the close-up ... because he had a sign propped up when they eventually panned to him, and it read "NOT TAYLOR SWIFT." He was smiling and waving -- and everyone seemed to get a kick out of it ... including fellow patrons.

It's just the latest joke someone has cracked at the expense of the NFL ... and Taylor, too, if we're being honest. There's been wall-to-wall coverage of her relationship with Travis Kelce -- which has reached a fever pitch whenever she's shown up to one of his games in person.

Mind you ... she's attended 3 football games so far, and they've all been super high-profile.

There was Taylor's initial appearance in Kansas City, which was totally surreal -- but her 2nd outing in New Jersey (with a bunch of famous pals in tow) might've been just as crazy.

She ended up skipping Travis' third game -- when he and the Chiefs went to Minnesota to play the Vikings -- but she showed face yet again just last Thursday ... when she popped up in K.C. for his game against Russell Wilson and the Broncos.

For all of them, Taylor's been seen cheering and rooting ... and there's been a lot of camera time focused on her -- to the chagrin of a lot of football fans, as we've come to learn.

Lance Bass no es el señor y salvador de los Swifties, algo que dejó muy claro en el partido de los Chargers del lunes por la noche de manera bastante hilarante.

La estrella de *NSYNC fue una entre muchas estrellas que asistieron al estadio SoFi para ver el juego. Durante la emisión la cámara enfoca a diferentes personas de la multitud, hasta que finalmente aterrizó en Lance, que estaba sentado en una suite privada con su equipo.

Parece que estaba listo para el primer plano porque tenía un cartel preparado que decía: "NO TAYLOR SWIFT". Sonreía y saludaba y a todo el mundo pareció divertirle... incluso a otros clientes.

No ha sido la única broma que alguien ha hecho a costa de la NFL y Taylor. Ha habido una gran cobertura de su relación con Travis Kelce, la cual alcanza un pico de fiebre cada vez que aparece en uno de sus juegos en persona.

Ella ha asistido a tres partidos de fútbol hasta el momento y en todos ellos llamó bastante la atención.

Hubo una primera aparición de Taylor en Kansas City que fue totalmente surrealista, pero su segunda aparición en Nueva Jersey (con un montón de amigos famosos en el remolque) podría haber sido igual de loca.

Ella terminó saltándose el tercer partido de Travis, cuando él y los Chiefs fueron a Minnesota para jugar contra los Vikings. Sin embargo, ella apareció de nuevo el jueves pasado para el juego contra Russell Wilson y los Broncos.

En todos esos juegos Taylor ha sido vista animando y alentando y ha habido una gran cantidad de tiempo de cámara para ella. Esto a casuado cierto disgusto de un montón de aficionados al fútbol.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. is kissing "The Daily Show" goodbye ... leaving the program after, at one point, being considered to take the helm as host following Trevor Noah's departure.

Roy says in a statement Thursday he's "made the decision to move on" from a place where, according to him, he's "been able to pursue my comedic and political curiosities with some of the best writers, producers, crew and correspondents anyone could hope for."

He gives thanks to Trevor Noah -- the show's former host -- as well as Paramount and Comedy Central for letting him produce stand-up specials, host multiple podcasts, write a film, and shoot the pilot of a TV show.

Roy ends, saying he's excited to "see what the future holds for me in the shifting sands of late night television, scripted comedy, and whatever else the comedy gods may have in store for me."

TMZ broke the story, Roy was in the running to replace Trevor last year -- as the South African comedian stepped down from his hosting gig after 7 years.

Sources told us Comedy Central execs saw Roy as someone who could easily be the new face of "TDS" -- not only is he one of the most memorable correspondents on the show, but the series has a history of promoting from within.

We were told the higher-ups at CC were worried about Roy leaving because of how in-demand he's become over the years ... but Roy told NPR the show never officially offered him the gig.

Arnold Schwarzenegger está diciendo que las afirmaciones de Donald Trump sobre su peso son puras mentiras. Aunque no está seguro de la cifra exacta, la intuición de Arnold es que Trump se quedó corto por unas 100 libras.

El actor estuvo charlando con Jimmy Kimmel el lunes por la noche en su primer programa de vuelta tras la huelga de escritores, y dado que es un experto en el tema, entró de lleno en los registros de Trump de la cárcel en donde dice que pesa 215 libras.

Antes de adivinar, Arnold le dio a Trump algunos consejos con los que podría perder peso, lo que provocó una gran carcajada en la audiencia.

Luego Jimmy le preguntó nuevamente si los registros de la cárcel del condado de Fulton de Trump podrían ser exactos o no, a lo que Arnold respondió sarcásticamente diciendo que no cree que las 215 libras puedan ser verdad. Desde su perspectiva, Trump podría haber puesto un 2 cuando realmente quería decir un 3.

Como saben, Trump se entregó a las autoridades del condado de Fulton a fines de agosto tras ser acusado de presuntos esfuerzos por anular los resultados de las elecciones de Georgia en 2020.

Los registros revelaron que el tipo, de 77 años, medía 6'3 "y pesaba 215 libras.

En una noticia relacionada, Trump y su equipo legal hicieron un encargo de McDonald's este lunes, que llegó hasta un tribunal de Nueva York, donde se encuentra actualmente en juicio por su caso de fraude civil de $250 millones.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling BS on Donald Trump's reported weight ... and while he ain't sure what the former prez's exact poundage is, Arnold's eyeballs tell him Trump missed the mark by about 100 pounds.

The actor was chatting with Jimmy Kimmel Monday night on the host's first show back since the writers' strike ended ... and since he's all about fitness, Arnold weighed in on the topic of Trump's booking records claiming he's 215 pounds.

Before he took a guess, Arnold gave Trump some advice on how he could lose weight -- a decent one-liner about going for a jog which got a big laugh from the crowd.

Jimmy asks again if Trump's Fulton County jail records are accurate when it comes to his size ... and Arnold has some pretty sarcastic responses for the potential of 215 lbs being legit. In his eyes, Trump might've put a 2 when he really meant a 3.

As you know, Trump surrendered to Fulton County authorities at the end of August and was charged for his alleged efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.

The booking docs claimed the "Blond or Strawberry" haired 77-year-old was 6'3" and 215 lbs.

On a related note ... Trump and/or his legal team had bags of McDonald's delivered Monday to a NY court where he's currently on trial for his $250 million civil fraud case.

We're not sure if Arnold had that information when he guessed ... but we might wanna take another swing at it.

Jimmy Butler looked like he was about to ask if "people ever heard of closing the goddamn door" at Miami Heat media day ... going full emo with a haircut and piercings!!

The NBA superstar was back at it with his preseason antics on Monday ... showing up to the team facility rocking a look that would fit right in at the When We Were Young festival.

Of course, the 34-year-old All-Star has made it his thing to debut a shocking appearance for his official team photos prior to the season -- last year, he wore dreads for the occasion.

This time around, he went with the straightened hairdo ... even rocking lip and eyebrow piercings to complete the style.

"This is my emotional state," Butler told reporters. "I'm one with my emotions. So, this is what you get."

To really lean into it, The Used's "The Taste of Ink" played over the speakers as Butler posed next to teammates Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo for some snaps.

Last season, Butler explained he was trying out new looks to piss off the internet ... but this one seems to be getting a lot of approval from the emo hoops fans.

Kevin James is looking to cash in on his new internet meme fame ... by using the viral image to promote his standup comedy act.

The actor and comedian posted "The King of Queens" meme on his social media Wednesday, much to the internet's delight ... using it to plug his new tour.

You've probably seen the meme pop up on your feed recently ... an old promotional headshot Kevin did for his TV sitcom 'King of Queens' back in the '90s, where he shrugs with both hands in his pockets and displays a sheepish grin.

Folks have been using the old pic to make tons of hilarious memes ... and the show's stars are taking notice. Leah Remini says she "absolutely loves" all the memes, and now Kevin's piggybacking.

In his post, Kevin says he's gearing up for his new "Double Hands In The Pocket" tour ... which he says is "sheepishly coming to a city near you."

Kevin James está tratando de sacar provecho de su nueva fama en Internet, usando el meme que lo hizo famoso para promover su acto de comedia.

El actor y comediante publicó el meme "El Rey de Queens" en sus redes sociales el miércoles, para deleite de Internet, todo para enchufarlos en su nueva gira.

Probablemente han visto el meme en su feed recientemente. Se trata de un viejo headshot promocional que hizo para su comedia de televisión 'Rey de Queens' en los años 90, donde se encoge de hombros con las dos manos en los bolsillos y muestra una sonrisa tímida.

La gente ha estado utilizando la vieja foto para hacer un montón de memes hilarantes y las estrellas de la serie están tomando nota. Leah Remini dice que ella "ama absolutamente" todos los memes y ahora el de Kevin.

En su post, dice que se está preparando para su nueva gira "Double Hands In The Pocket", la que se está acercando "tímidamente a una ciudad cerca de ti".

Taylor Swift is being used as punishment for Universal Studios guests looking for late-night scares past business hours -- as heard in this hilarious closing-time message from the park.

Check out this seemingly pre-recorded message that was blasted over the intercom during Sunday night's Halloween Horror Nights ... where folks traverse the massive theme park to hit haunted mazes and rides into the wee hours of the morning.

HHN officially shuts down at 2 AM, and based on this YouTube streamer's video ... it sounds like stragglers were hit with a warning for sticking around -- namely, loud Swiftie tunes!

Here's what a man could be heard saying, "The rides are closed, mazes are closed there is no reason to stay here any longer. You don’t have to go home but you can't stay here we only have 7 hours to get the park ready for tomorrow. Hit the bricks, take a hike gather your belongings and your drunk friends and go or we start playing Taylor Swift at full volume."

He delivers it in a humorous way, so this is obviously a gag. The interesting part is that this really sounds like a recording, and not just an employee riffing off the cuff. If true, even funnier.

Hasan Minhaj has been caught stretching the truth in a handful of stories he's told in his stand-up comedy -- and his response to this revelation is ... eh, it's not a big deal, guys.

The comic -- famous from 'The Daily Show' -- got called out in a New Yorker piece ... which got him to admit that he'd fabricated much of the details to several bits he'd done on stage over the years ... almost all of which played up racism and bigotry over his Muslim heritage.

One such anecdote that was embellished is about his daughter ... and how he had to rush her to the hospital after an envelope with white powder was sent to his house. As it turns out, all the daughter stuff was made up -- as he revealed when pressed by the New Yorker.

Other stories he exaggerated or flat-out lied about included one of him getting turned down for a school dance due to his race -- the woman in question says this wasn't the case in the slightest -- and another about how an FBI informant infiltrated his community mosque. In both instances, there appears to be little truth to the substance of the stories.

Minhaj said this to the New Yorker, "My comedy Arnold Palmer is seventy per cent emotional truth -- this happened -- and then thirty per cent hyperbole, exaggeration, fiction." After being pressed further by other media, he released a lengthier statement, which is interesting.

He says ... "All my standup stories are based on events that happened to me. Yes, I was rejected from going to prom because of my race. Yes, a letter with powder was sent to my apartment that almost harmed my daughter. Yes, I had an interaction with law enforcement during the war on terror. Yes, I had varicocele repair surgery, so we could get pregnant. Yes, I roasted Jared Kushner to his face. I use the tools of standup comedy -- hyperbole, changing names and locations, and compressing timelines to tell entertaining stories."

Offset has the perfect way to promote his new album, or at least that's how Cardi B feels about him live streaming for a full day ... because she says it's super easy to keep tabs on him!

Offset was in the middle of his 24-hour run online with YouTuber Kai Cenat Thursday night when Cardi decided to dial up her hubby and have a chat. When Offset put the call on speaker, she quickly chimed in, "You need to be streaming every single day for 24 hours, so I can know everything you're doing!"

Offset, Kai and a few other fellas in the room laughed it off, but, let's keep it real ... she meant that s**t!

They've had their issues in the past -- cheating accusations and Cardi briefly filing for divorce in 2020 -- but lately they can't keep their hands off each other. Earlier this week, they even faked a sex tape while backstage at the MTV VMAs. Good stuff!

The couple's clearly inspiring to some ... because Kai decided to make the most of having Cardi on the phone, and shot his shot. He nervously asked if Cardi's sister Hennessy was available.

Howie Mandel is clearly a fan of the TMZ Celebrity Tour -- his shirt says it all -- but he's figured out a way to streamline the operation to just 45 seconds!

Howie was arriving at the 'AGT' shoot Wednesday in Pasadena, with a shirt emblazoned with the logo for our 2-hour show on wheels.

A  photog asked why he was wearing the TMZ Tee ... and by the look on his face he was a bit incredulous. For Howie, it was obvious. The comedian launched into his tour guide schtick.

Enter a woman who happened to be passing by ... Howie wrangled her to take the tour, though imploring her to keep her distance ... he is, after all, a renowned germaphobe.

You gotta watch the vid ... stupid us, we've been using buses for 10 years -- very comfy we might add -- but Howie figured out a way for normies to take the tour in just seconds.

Cardi B y Offset no pudieron quitarse las manos de encima en los MTV VMAs, y decidieron grabar un video sexual, (al menos, falso), durante un descanso en el baño del recinto.

La pareja se besuqueó en un baño del evento el martes por la noche. Estaban completamente vestidos, pero fingiendo tener relaciones sexuales con Cardi inclinada y haciendo algunos sonidos salvajes, mientras grababa el momento para la posteridad.

Entre medio de sus quejidos, se escucha como si un amigo fuera del baño estuviera buscando un cargador de teléfono. ¡Cardi le dice a la mujer que entre a buscar el suyo! Offset era todo sonrisas mientras todo ocurría. Muy diferente de su amiga, quien entró de mala gana a la habitación y provocó risas en Cardi.

Si te estás preguntando qué los puso así.. No es que necesiten un motivo exactamente, pero vale la pena señalar que Cardi estaba usando el mismo atuendo que utilizó para su actuación de "Bongos" con Megan Thee Stallion. Podemos decir con seguridad, que Offset estaba hechizado con su atuendo también.

Por supuesto, hemos visto a la pareja ponerse cachonda antes. A finales de julio, vimos a Cardi perreando sobre él en Las Vegas, mientras disfrutaban de la piscina. Ella publicó el video el mismo día en que fue nombrada sospechosa en el caso del lanzamiento de un micrófono en uno de sus conciertos.

Por cierto, Cardi B era candidata a Mejor Hip Hop en los VMA por "Tomorrow 2", la colaboración que realizaron junto a GloRilla. Pero no ganaron.

Cardi B and Offset couldn't keep their hands off of each other at the MTV VMAs, and decided to make a sex tape -- a fake one, anyway -- during a bathroom break at the venue.

The couple got their bump n' grind on in a restroom at Tuesday night's event -- they were fully clothed, but pretending to have sex with Cardi bent over and making some pretty wild sounds ... as she recorded the moment for posterity.

Sounds like a friend outside the bathroom was looking for a phone charger, and through her moans ... Cardi tells the woman to come in and get hers! Offset was all smiles during the funny moment, while their pal reluctantly walked into the room, making Cardi laugh.

If you're wondering what got them in the mood -- they don't exactly need one, but it's worth noting Cardi was in the outfit she wore for her performance of "Bongos" with Megan Thee Stallion. Safe to assume ... Offset was feeling her 'fit!

Of course, we've seen the couple get nasty before -- she was twerking on him in Vegas at the end of July while enjoying their pool, and she posted that clip the same day she was named a suspect in the now-dropped microphone-throwing case.

BTW, Cardi was up for Best Hip Hop at the VMAs for "Tomorrow 2," her collab with GloRilla, but they didn't win.

We're sure she was feelin' like a winner in the bathroom, though!

With all of the big stars -- Taylor, Nicki, Selena and more -- do you think the MTV VMAs have gained credibility again? Vote below.

Diana Ross had no hesitations in joining Beyoncé onstage for some birthday fun ... and we're told the so-called shade Lionel Richie threw at Diana was simply a friend joking around.

Sources close to Diana tell TMZ ... the legendary singer was honored to sing "Happy Birthday" to Bey at her packed SoFi Stadium concert last week, adding she simply was returning the favor.

You might recall, Beyoncé jumped on the mic a few years ago to do the honors at Diana's 75th birthday bash ... so it was only fitting for Ms. Ross to be the one selected to grace the stage for Bey's bday concert.

As for Lionel's apparent anger over Diana's Bey-day serenade ... sources with direct knowledge tell us he was just joking around when he went off about it during one of his concerts.

If ya haven't seen it, Lionel said he's been trying for 3 decades to get Diana to sing their classic duet "Endless Love" live on stage, but she's shot him down every time.

He got a laugh from the crowd when he groused ... Diana opting to sing for Beyonce "pissed me off!"

Some folks online weren't sure if that was real rage or not, but we're told it certainly wasn't -- he's got lots of love for Diana and the 2 have a history of publicly jabbing at each other like that.
