Influencers

President Biden invited a bunch of Gen-Z influencers to the White House to watch his State of the Union address -- and one person in the mix has the inside scoop on how it went.

Tiffany Aliche -- an author and renowned financial expert -- came on "TMZ Live" Friday to break down what it was like Thursday evening at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. with all these young whipper-snappers and Tiktokers around ... 'cause there were a crap ton of them.

Aliche -- who's built a massive following on Instagram and TikTok educating people about money -- tells us that she was one of over 60 influencers who attended the highly publicized evening ... and that there was a mix of internet personalities in attendance.

So, no ... it wasn't just political influencers -- fashionistas were there, too, it seems.

The message was clear for those in attendance ... Biden and his staffers wanted to reach Gen Z -- with Tiffany recalling that POTUS praised the content creators as "critical" to his campaign since they have a massive reach. Out with the old, as they say!

On whether this influencer effort will sway young voters to vote for Biden this fall ... Tiffany isn't certain -- but she does think it helped with raising awareness.

As for the vetting process required ... Tiffany says she was surprised that she wasn't asked about her political preference before being invited. The only conditions ... respect the White House as a historical building and a military compound.

She didn't even have to post if she didn't want to -- which sat well with Tiffany.

Other influencers invited to the White House ahead of the State of the Union included strategist Keith Edwards, activist Aaron Parnas, and "The Real Friends of WeHo" star Joey Zauzig.

Jake Paul is taking on a true G.O.A.T. in his next boxing match ... 'cause the Problem Child is fighting Mike freakin' Tyson!!

The huge event was announced just minutes ago ... with the YouTuber-turned-fighter saying his bout against the 57-year-old former heavyweight champion will be the "biggest fight in history."

"It's crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson's undercard," 27-year-old Jake said on Thursday. "Now, less than four years later, I'm stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons."

The fight will air on Netflix ... and will take place July 20 at AT&T Stadium -- the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Jake (9-1) is fresh off two first-round knockout victories ... most recently easily defeating Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico this past weekend.

Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champ in history at just 20 years old, defeating Trevor Berbick in brutal fashion in 1986.

He's is widely regarded as one of the hardest-hitting and most-feared pugilists to ever put on a pair of gloves ... earning a 50-6 record. His last professional fight was in 2005 against Kevin McBride.

He's remained busy in recent years ... taking an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, a card that also featured Jake's fight against the ex-NBA star, which helped take his in-ring career to new heights.

Jake and Tyson have a bit of history -- they became friends over the years, and just two years ago, Mike said he would fight Paul for $1 billion.

Worth noting -- Jake weighed in at 199 pounds for the Bourland fight ... and Tyson is reportedly listed at 220.

Paul added ... "Whether you’re tuning in on Netflix or showing out in person, whether you're team Paul or team Tyson, or whether you’re a lifelong boxing fan or watching your first fight, you're not going to want to miss this event."

No word on whether this is a pro or exhibition bout ... but either way, they're promising fireworks.

Jake Paul is keeping his enemies closer -- the Problem Child has signed Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat to Most Valuable Promotions ... this after the two came face-to-face in a heated "confrontation" earlier this week.

32-year-old Goyat -- a three-time WBC Asia title holder -- has been calling out Paul for months ... and it all came to a head when he pulled up on the YouTube superstar in Puerto Rico ahead of his fight against Ryan Bourland.

The whole thing (which was obviously staged) showed both guys getting into a shoving match before being separated.

It turns out the clip was seemingly meant to hype up the big addition to the company -- its first international signee -- and on Friday, the news was made official.

Neeraj -- who's also an actor -- spoke about joining Paul's company ... saying, "I'm truly honored to be the newest member of the Most Valuable Promotions family. MVP has been making waves in the boxing world, particularly with its commitment to showcasing and uplifting women in the sport since 2021."

"In just 2.5 years, MVP has organized some of the world's most significant boxing events, and I'm excited to work with MVP to elevate the status of professional boxing in India and bring attention to boxers from India globally."

Joining MVP makes sense -- Goyat has been pro for more than a decade ... and also boasts a large social media following.

ScHoolboy Q is dropping his new album this Friday and the promotional landscape has changed since then ... but he's rejecting one of the biggest platforms of the moment, Bobbi Althoff's podcast!!!

Q scratched Bobbi off his list while fielding questions about his "Blue Lips" album, but also was able to nix another bucket list item for the project ... playing the album for Jay-Z!!!

Last week, the TDE rapper wished upon a star to have a chance to give Hov an exclusive preview, which he did on Monday when he and label president Punch took a trip to the Roc Nation offices.

Q claims Jay asked him to run it back after listening ... on March 1, both of their credibilities will be on the line. Hov did break out his Reebok S. Dot Carter sneakers for the occasion though ... so album must be a banger!!!

Natalie Portman está viendo cómo el cine está perdiendo popularidad entre los jóvenes, y parece que tiene sentimientos encontrados al respecto cuando se refiere a su responsable.

La actriz se sentó con Vanity Fair a principios de esta semana para una entrevista, donde se abrió sobre la gran influencia que están teniendo las estrellas de redes sociales en los niños en comparación con las estrellas de cine tradicionales, como ella misma.

Portman dice que el cine se siente "mucho más de nicho" por estos días y que si le preguntas a alguien de la generación de sus hijos -ella tiene un niño de 12 años y otro de 7- tienden a conocer mucho más YouTubers y personas virales que actores.

Ahora, Natalie no está diciendo que esto sea necesariamente algo malo. Señala que la libertad para realizar películas en una época en la que el comercio no es la principal preocupación, mientras transitas la delgada línea de no hacer proyectos demasiado elitistas, requiere tener a la audiencia en mente.

Además, Natalie dice que es genial que los niños de ciudades más remotas y pequeñas tengan acceso a grandes obras de arte en cualquier lugar, lo que ha llevado a que los actores tradicionales sean degradados, haciendo que Hollywood sea más inclusivo.

Esta liberación a la que Natalie se refiere en la industria del entretenimiento no está sentando bien a todo el mundo, sin embargo. Recuerden, Billie Eilish fue pillada hablando mal de los influencers invitados a los People's Choice Awards el pasado fin de semana.

Por si no lo saben, Eilish estaba hablando con Kylie Minogue y, aunque trató de susurrar, se podía oír claramente que se estaba quejando de la cantidad de TikTokers en el evento. Ella no parecía muy feliz por su participación.

Natalie Portman is seeing declining popularity of film with young people ... and it seems like she's got mixed feelings about it -- pointing out the double-edged sword of its downfall.

The actress sat down with Vanity Fair earlier this week for an interview, and she opened up about the increased influence of social media stars on kids when compared to traditional movie stars, like herself.

Portman says film feels "much more niche" these days -- and notes if you ask someone in her kids' generation -- she's got a 12-year-old and a 7-year-old -- they tend to know way more YouTubers and viral people as opposed to actors.

Now, Natalie's not saying this is necessarily a bad thing ... she points out the freedom in making movies in an era when commerce isn't the chief concern, while also walking the fine line of not making projects that are too elitist -- saying ya gotta keep the audience in mind.

Plus, Natalie says it's cool kids in more remote small towns now have access to great art anywhere, which has led to traditional gatekeepers being demoted -- making H'wood more inclusive.

This liberation Natalie's referring to in the entertainment industry isn't sitting well with everyone however ... remember, Billie Eilish got caught talking some smack about influencers being invited to the People's Choice Awards this past weekend.

ICYMI ... Eilish was talking to Kylie Minogue and -- despite trying to whisper -- she could clearly be heard complaining about the number of TikTokers at the event. She seemed none too happy at their involvement.

Un video de N3on siendo detenido se ha vuelto viral en línea, pero TMZ ha descubierto qué fue lo que exactamente llevó a los oficiales del sheriff a detener a la estrella de redes sociales... y es increíble

N3on -que es un streamer y YouTuber popular entre los Gen-Z- apareció recientemente en un video que muestra a la joven estrella de internet de 19 años de edad con su séquito de siendo detenido por los oficiales en West Hollywood.

Echa un vistazo a la vid ... N3on abre la puerta y comienza a gritar preguntas a los policías acerca de por qué están esposando a su socio - antes de que los oficiales les dijeron que no se movieran y luego le ordenó a él ya sus amigos a poner las manos en los reposacabezas delante de ellos.

Un miembro del entorno de N3on se puede escuchar gritando desde fuera del coche ... un movimiento uno de los oficiales dijo que es "empeorar las cosas". Es dramático - y finalmente llegamos al fondo de lo que diablos pasó aquí ... y es bastante tonto, porque básicamente equivale a un error administrativo.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen ... N3on y su equipo fueron detenidos porque su vehículo fue aparentemente reportado como robado, que los lectores de placas en el coche de policía recogido en y marcado.

Se nos dice que los oficiales ordenaron N3on fuera del coche a punta de pistola como parte de una parada de coche delito grave - procedimiento operativo estándar - y fue entonces cuando N3on dijo a los oficiales que el coche había sido robado recientemente y luego recuperado por la policía de Los Ángeles. En otras palabras, fue robado y encontrado antes de que fueran conscientes de la actualización.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que los oficiales verificaron la historia de N3on y se enteraron de que el carro simplemente no había sido sacado del sistema. Nos han dicho que se lo explicaron a N3on -que, según nuestras fuentes, se mostró comprensivo- y lo dejaron en libertad sin más incidentes.

El video publicado por N3on parece confirmar esta versión, aunque, según nos han dicho, los agentes dejaron claro que su seguridad agravó la situación al interferir mientras intentaban hacer su trabajo. N3on hizo una broma al final, una que vamos a dejar que escuches por ti mismo.

A video of N3on getting pulled over has gone viral online ... but TMZ has learned what exactly led sheriff's deputies to stop the social media star mid-stream -- and it's wild.

N3on -- who's a streamer/YouTuber popular with the Gen-Z crowd -- was recently featured in a video posted to Kick ... which shows the internet-famous 19-year-old and his entourage getting stopped by deputies in West Hollywood.

Check out the vid ... N3on opens the door and starts shouting questions at the cops about why they're handcuffing his associate -- before officers told them not to move and then commanded him and his friends to put their hands on the headrests in front of them.

A member of N3on's entourage can be heard yelling from outside the car ... a move one of the officers said is "making it worse." It's dramatic -- and we finally got to the bottom of what the hell happened here ... and it's pretty silly, 'cause it basically amounts to a clerical error.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... N3on and his crew were pulled over because their vehicle was apparently reported stolen, which plate-readers in the cop car picked up on and flagged.

We're told Officers ordered N3on out of the car at gunpoint as part of a felony car stop -- standard operating procedure -- and that's when N3on told officers the car had recently been stolen and then recovered by LAPD. In other words, it was jacked and found before they were aware of the update.

Our sources tell us deputies verified N3on's story and found out the car just hadn't been taken out of the system. We're told they explained this to N3on -- who our sources say was understanding -- and released him without further incident.

Video N3on posted seems to confirm this account ... although, we're told officers made clear his security inflamed the sitch by interfering while they were trying to do their jobs. N3on cracked an NSFW joke at the end too -- one we'll let you listen to for yourself.

Jack Doherty ha sido demandado por agresión y lesiones por un hombre que afirma que Doherty y otro hombre le dieron una paliza en una fiesta unos días antes de Halloween.

Según nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, un hombre llamado Chase Gardella está demandando al YouTuber y guardaespaldas Kane Kongg -nombre real Justin Goslee- por un incidente que aparentemente fue capturado en un video que muestra a Kane golpeando a una persona directamente en la cara.

Recordemos que en octubre, Jack publicó un clip de una fiesta de Halloween en Los Ángeles, donde parecía que estaba involucrado en un altercado con varios invitados. En el clip, se puede ver a Kane golpear a alguien de pie junto al YouTuber Corinna Kopf, que luego cae en el camino de ladrillo debajo de él con fuerza.

Gardella afirma que estaba en esta fiesta de Halloween el 29 de octubre y estaba hablando con Jack y Kane alrededor de las 12:30 AM. Según los documentos, Jack dijo "Vamos a pelear. Nosotros dos contra ustedes dos, muy bien" -cosa que se alinea con el clip de YouTube- y momentos más tarde, Chase dice que Kongg le dio un puñetazo.

Chase dicie que no consintió en ser golpeado y sufrió lesiones en la cabeza, el cuello y la cara cuando cayó. Gardella afirma que Jack ha publicado varios videos en su cuenta de YouTube en los que sus guardaespaldas intimidan a las personas que reaccionan mal a sus bromas.

También afirma que Goslee ha tenido problemas legales por agresiones en el pasado - como recordarás, informamos de un supuesto incidente anterior en el que fue acusado de noquear a una mujer mientras trabajaba como seguridad para DaBaby.

El abogado de Chase -Greyson Goody- le dice a TMZ: "Esta fue una agresión repugnante y no provocada contra un hombre joven por un boxeador profesional en la dirección de su empleador influenciador de medios sociales. Chase se ocupaba de sus asuntos, disfrutando de una divertida fiesta de Halloween con amigos cuando fue brutalmente atacado por un hombre varias veces más grande que él. Este tipo de comportamiento por parte de Jack Doherty y sus compinches tiene que terminar. Chase sufrió lesiones graves que podrían arruinar su vida y su carrera".

Jack Doherty is being sued for assault and battery by a man who claims Doherty and another man beat him up at a party a few days before Halloween.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, a man named Chase Gardella is suing YouTuber and bodyguard Kane Kongg -- real name Justin Goslee -- for an incident that was apparently caught on video showing Kane punching a person squarely in the face.

Remember ... back in October, Jack posted a clip from David Dobrik's Halloween party in L.A. where it looked like he was involved in an altercation with several partygoers. In the clip, you see Kane punch someone standing by YouTuber Corinna Kopf, who then falls on the brick path underneath him hard.

Gardella claims he was at this Halloween party on October 29 and was talking to Jack and Kane at around 12:30 AM. According to the docs, Jack said "We’re gonna fight. Us two versus you two, alright go" -- which lines up with the YouTube clip — and moments later Chase says Kongg punched him.

Chase is saying he did not consent to being punched and suffered injuries to his head, neck and face when he fell. Gardella claims Jack has posted a number of vids to his YouTube account where his bodyguards intimidate people who react poorly to his pranks.

He also claims Goslee has been in legal trouble for assaults in the past -- you’ll recall, we reported an earlier alleged incident where he was accused of knocking out a woman while working security for DaBaby.

Chase's attorney Greyson Goody tells TMZ... “This was a disgusting, unprovoked assault on a young man by a professional boxer at the direction of his social media influencer employer. Chase was minding his own business, enjoying a fun Halloween Party with friends when he was brutally attacked by a man several times larger than him. This sort of behavior by Jack Doherty and his cronies needs to end. Chase suffered serious injuries that could de-rail his life and career.”

Bobbi Althoff has been trending all week for all the wrong reasons -- a video purporting to depict her in a sexual manner has been circulating ... but she's calling it out as fake as hell.

Here's the deal ... this clip has been floating around online for the past few days -- and anyone who's anyone can tell it's a straight-up deepfake ... superimposing what looks to be Bobbi's face onto a woman who's masturbating on a bed, all in front of a camera.

Some idiots on X have been feeding into and recirculating it as real -- claiming it was "Bobbi's nudes" -- but the influencer herself is pouring cold water on all that by speaking out.

She posted a screengrab of her name trending on X/Twitter -- which was apparently popping off in the "Rap" category -- and noted that what people had been losing their minds over was not, in fact, her ... but rather, just a computer image trying to pass as her.

Bobbi wrote, "Hate to disappoint you all, but the reason I'm trending is 100% not me & is definitely AI-generated." She also posted a video addressing it ... and stamped it down there too.

So, there you go ... Bobbi's saying it ain't her -- and if you're familiar with her brand ... you'd know she would NEVER record herself doing something like that. BA is a bit of a prude -- and she's also a mom ... so definitely not the type to be raunchy just 'cause.

Granted, she is single these days -- her husband recently filed for divorce -- but still ... this ain't the sort of thing Bobbi would post. It had "fake" written all over from the jump.

Funny enough ... Bobbi was probably hoping to be trending over her latest cringe-y interview -- this time, she talked to Wiz Khalifa ... and it's just as good as all her others. Unfortunately, pervs had her name going around for something super gross ... what else is new?

Bobbi Althoff ha sido tendencia toda la semana y no por las razones correctas. Ha estado circulando por estos días un video que pretende mostrarla de una manera sexual, pero ella está diciendo que eso es falso como el infierno.

Esta es la cuestión, el clip ha estado apareciendo en línea los últimos días, y cualquiera podría darse cuenta de que es un deepfake, esto es, la superposición de lo que parece ser la cara de Bobbi con una mujer que se masturba en una cama, todo delante de una cámara.

Algunos idiotas en X lo han hecho circular de nuevo como real, afirmando que son "desnudos de Bobbi", pero la propia influencer está echando agua fría sobre todo.

Ella publicó una captura de pantalla de su nombre en las tendencias de X / Twitter, al parecer en la categoría "Rap", y señaló que las personas que han estado perdiendo la cabeza, lo han hecho por las razones incorrectas, pues no es ella, sino más bien, solo una imagen computacional tratando de pasar por ella.

Bobbi escribió: "Odio decepcionarlos a todos, pero la razón por la que soy tendencia, en un 100% no soy yo, y está definitivamente generada por IA". Ella también publicó un video abordando todo el asunto, que compartió también.

Así que ahí lo tienen, Bobbi está diciendo que no es ella y si estás familiarizado con su marca sabrías que NUNCA se grabaría a sí misma haciendo algo así. Bobbi es un poco mojigata y también madre, así que definitivamente no del tipo obscena porque sí.

Por supuesto, ella está soltera por estos días. Su marido recientemente le pidió el divorcio, pero aun así, este no es el tipo de cosa que Bobbi publicaría. Todo en el video grita "falso".

Bastante divertido. Probablemente, Bobbi esperaba ser tendencia por su última entrevista. Esta vez, habló con Wiz Khalifa y es tan buena como todas las anteriores. Por desgracia, los pervertidos tenían su nombre dando vueltas por algo super bruto.

Un tipo cualquiera se coló en el escenario de los BAFTA, donde Christopher Nolan y otros responsables de "Oppenheimer" se encontraban tras una importante victoria, y los directores del evento están cabreados.

Este incómodo momento se produjo el domingo durante la gran gala de premios británica -básicamente los Oscar para el Reino Unido- cuando "Oppenheimer" ganó el premio a la Mejor Película y un grupo de miembros del reparto y el equipo subieron a aceptarlo.

Obviamente, Nolan subió al escenario, al igual que Cillian Murphy y otros productores de la película, pero hubo un rezagado que subió al escenario y definitivamente no era su sitio.

El tipo sobresalía simplemente de pie en silencio en la parte posterior del grupo y sin pestañear, manteniendo su compostura y manteniendo la fachada. Nadie dijo nada acerca de su presencia, incluyendo Cillian, que estaba justo a su lado.

El discurso de aceptación llegó y se fue, y este bromista en realidad no causó mucha escena en absoluto, pero eso no quiere decir que la gente BAFTAs no estaban enojados, porque estaban.

Un representante de la organización dijo: "Un bromista de los medios sociales fue retirado por la seguridad anoche después de unirse a los ganadores del premio final en el escenario - estamos tomando esto muy en serio, y no desean concederle ninguna publicidad al comentar más ".

No lo nombran, pero es bastante fácil de encontrar en línea - el tipo va por el nombre de Lizwani ... y él hace esta mierda con bastante frecuencia. Se ha colado en varias galas de premios en Gran Bretaña a lo largo de los años... y a menudo lo documenta en sus canales sociales.

A random dude crashed the stage at the BAFTAs -- where Christopher Nolan and other 'Oppenheimer' heads were after a major win -- and now ... the showrunners are pissed.

This awkward moment went down Sunday during the big British award show -- the Oscars, basically, for the UK -- and it happened right at the end of the show when 'Oppenheimer' won Best Film and a bunch of cast and crew members went up to accept.

CN obviously went up, as did Cillian Murphy and other producers for the film ... but there was one straggler who ran up onstage well after them -- and he definitely didn't belong.

The guy stood out like a sore thumb, just quietly standing in the back of the group and not batting an eyelash -- maintaining his composure and keeping up with the façade. Nobody said anything about him being there either ... including Cillian, who was right next to him.

The acceptance speech came and went, and this prankster didn't really cause much of a scene at all ... but that's not to say the BAFTAs people weren't angry, 'cause they were.

A rep for the org says ... "A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final award on stage -- we are taking this very seriously, and don’t wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further."

They don't name him, but he's pretty easy to find online -- dude goes by the name of Lizwani ... and he does this crap pretty often. He's slinked his way into a number of award shows in Britain over the years ... and often documents it on his social channels.

Oneya Johnson -- better known as the influencer behind the "Angry Reactions" social media account -- has been arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the 25-year-old viral star -- famous for his "angry reactions" -- was arrested on the evening of Monday, February 12 in Burbank, California after a woman called from a hotel to report an altercation.

Cops say Johnson and the woman got into a verbal argument that turned physical at one point. It's unclear exactly what may have happened between them -- but it was enough to land him in jail.

We're told the woman did not need medical attention, but Oneya was still booked on a felony domestic violence charge. He posted $50,000 bail and was released.

Oneya's risen to fame on social media in the past few years because of clips where he reacts angrily to other videos.

For example, Johnson will film himself watching people cook or perform other weird trends on social media -- for instance, in one clip a man eats a whole corn cob -- and he'll launch into intense rants or simply stare ahead with an angry expression.

It's all in good fun -- in these videos anyway -- and he's incredibly popular ... with Johnson having amassed more than 27 million followers on TikTok since first posting back in 2020.

Jake Paul will face off against another legit boxer in his next fight -- this time, he's going to duke it out with former Golden Gloves champion Ryan Bourland, his team announced Tuesday.

Jake (8-1) has been teasing his next opponent ever since he handled Andre August with a first-round knockout in December ... and has made it clear his goal is to become a world champion.

The Problem Child said in a statement the decision to go up against the 35-year-old Bourland (17-2) keeps him on the right path toward legitimacy -- and he's been training non-stop for his next opportunity.

"I've always said my goal is to become a world champion," Paul said of the fight. "I beat a pro boxer in December in the first round, someone who's been boxing their entire life, and what did I do next? I went straight back to camp to get ready to face my next opponent, a professional boxer who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do."

"It's a new year, it's an even better me, and I'm facing an even more experienced, seasoned boxer on Saturday, March 2 as co-main to the Puerto Rican GOAT, Amanda Serrano."

Bourland is on a three-fight winning streak ... but has not seen any action since 2022.

Jake added he's doing all this for the love of the sport -- NOT the fat paycheck that would come with it -- as he's going to donate his purse to his Boxing Bullies charity, which will help renovate gyms in Puerto Rico.
