Kids

Dr. Drew Pinsky says children swept up in the war between Israel and Hamas are going to be dealing with the fallout for the rest of their lives, because it could very well rewire their brains.

The famous doc joined us for Thursday's "TMZ Live" to discuss the youngest hostages Hamas released this week to Israel. Although they seem okay, outwardly, Dr. Drew says, there's potential for tremendous internal damage involving the development of their brains.

As the trauma builds, Dr. Drew says most kids will start to shut down and dissociate ... and many will have their brains shattered and rewired, creating lasting psychological harm.

And, he adds this painful prognosis doesn't only apply to the hostages ... Drew says the ongoing conflict can have the same impact on children living in Gaza, surrounded by death and destruction.

Add in the fact some of these kids are coming off another traumatic experience during COVID shutdowns, and Dr. Drew explains why it's a toxic mix for youth.

El Dr. Drew dice que los niños barridos en la guerra en el Oriente Medio van a estar tratando con las consecuencias por el resto de sus vidas, porque el trauma va a recablear sus cerebros.

El famoso doc se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos por los niños en Gaza, ya que están rodeados de muerte y destrucción.

El Dr. Drew dice que el conflicto en curso tendrá un profundo impacto en los cerebros en desarrollo y no sólo para aquellos que fueron capturados y mantenidos como rehenes.

A medida que el trauma se acumula, el Dr. Drew dice que la mayoría de los niños comenzarán a cerrar y a disociar y muchos tendrán sus cerebros destrozados y recableados, creando un daño psicológico duradero.

Añadir en el hecho de que algunos de estos niños están saliendo de otra experiencia traumática durante el COVID y el Dr. Drew explica por qué esto es una mezcla tóxica para los jóvenes.

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra and his wife, Nikki, are calling it quits -- the couple just announced they are getting a divorce after a seven-year marriage.

The Spoelstras released a joint statement to the Miami Herald on Wednesday ... saying it was a difficult decision to call it quits.

"We are both grateful for our relationship and remain fully committed to co-parenting our children and continuing to make them our shared priority," they said.

"We appreciate everyone’s support as we move to the next stage of our lives and thank you for respecting our family’s privacy."

Spoelstra -- who became head coach for the Heat in 2008 -- met Nikki when she was a dancer for the Miami organization at 18 years old.

Erik proposed to Nikki during the summer of 2015 ... and they got married at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami a year later.

The couple have two sons, Santiago and Dante, together and recently had a daughter, Ruby, who was born in 2022.

Before this baby in her pajamas turned into a singing superstar with big blue eyes ... she was just a cool kid throwin' on her Donald Duck hat sideways and growing up in Santa Barbara, California.

She's mostly glitz and glam on her Instagram, but you must not forget it all started back in 2008 with just some cherry chapstick. She may be an American Idol but she'll only judge you based on your singing skills.

Need one more hint? She put on a stellar performance once ... complete with a viral dancing shark!

Antes de que esta bebé en pijama se convirtiera en una superestrella de la canción con grandes ojos azules, era solo una niña adorable que se ponía su gorro del Pato Donald de lado y crecía en Santa Bárbara, California.

En su Instagram es pura ostentación y glamour, pero no hay que olvidar que todo empezó en 2008 con un simple lápiz de labios de cereza. Puede que sea una American Idol, pero sólo te juzgará por tus dotes como cantante.

¿Necesitas otra pista? Una vez hizo una actuación estelar... ¡con un tiburón bailando!

Al Pacino no está recibiendo ninguna presión para casarse con la madre de su hijo, al menos no de parte de ella, porque Noor Alfallah nos dice que no es una gran fan de la institución del matrimonio.

Encontramos a la novia del legendario actor en Beverly Hills y le preguntó cómo van las cosas con Al.

Noor dice que lo ama, pero que no hay planes de matrimonio en los talones de tener un niño juntos. Ella explica que no es un tema para la pareja porque, "No soy el tipo de casarse".

TMZ publicó la historia, Al y Noor siguen juntos después de negociar un acuerdo de manutención y custodia de los hijos de su bebé, Roman, que le pide a Al más de $30k por mes.

Al es padre de nuevo a los 83 años, Noor está a punto de cumplir 30 y Roman acaba de nacer en junio, pero, según Noor, ninguno de esos números se suman al primer matrimonio de Pacino.

Al Pacino's getting zero pressure to get hitched to the mother of his infant son -- not from her, anyway -- because Noor Alfallah tells us she's just not big on the institution of marriage.

We got the legendary actor's girlfriend in Bevy Hills and asked how things are going with Al.

Noor says she loves him, but they're not discussing holy matrimony on the heels of having a baby boy together -- she explains it's not a hot topic for the couple because, "I'm not the marrying type."

TMZ broke the story ... Al and Noor are still together after hammering out a child support and child custody agreement for their baby boy, Roman, which calls for Al to fork over $30k per month.

Al's a father again at 83 years old, Noor is about to turn 30 and Roman was just born in June -- but, according to Noor, none of those numbers add up to Pacino's first marriage.

Micah Abbey no solo la rompió en la nueva versión animada de este año "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mayhem Mutant", el joven de 16 años también ganó una fortuna al hacerlo.

Según su contrato de menores, obtenido por TMZ, la estrella adolescente estaba cobrando… ¡$5,000 por cada sesión de grabación para dar voz al personaje de Donatello, con un salario garantizado de ¡$50,000!

Según el contrato, Micah podría haber ganado mucho más con las bonificaciones, incluyendo otros $225,000 si la película hubiera alcanzado los $300 millones en la taquilla nacional.

Terminó recaudando alrededor de $118 millones en taquilla nacional, así que no hay bono para Micah.

A pesar de no alcanzar el gran objetivo de taquilla, la película, que también contó con la participación de John Cena, Seth Rogen y Rose Byrne, fue bien recibida por la mayoría de los fanáticos, quienes le dieron un 90% de calificación del público en Rotten Tomatoes.

Micah Abbey not only kicked butt in this year's animated reboot "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" ... but the 16-year-old also made big bucks doing so.

According to his minors contract, obtained by TMZ, the teen star was bringing in the dough ... earning $5,000 a day for each recording session to voice the role of Donatello, with a guaranteed payday of $50K!!!

According to the contract, Micah could've scored much more from bonuses, including another $225K if the movie had hit $300M at the domestic box office.

It ended up grossing around $118M domestically, so, no bonus round for Micah.

Despite not hitting the huge box office target, the movie -- which also starred John Cena, Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne -- was largely received as a treat for most fans, who've given it a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

En un trágico incidente en alta mar, un joven pasajero perdió la vida a bordo de un crucero de Royal Caribbean.

TMZ recibió informes de un testigo que relató que un chico de 16 años falleció luego de caer desde un balcón hasta la cubierta, el pasado sábado. El incidente ocurrió mientras el barco 'Allure of the Seas' se dirigía desde Port Canaveral en Florida hacia Nassau, Bahamas, a primera hora. No está claro si la caída fue accidental.

Nos informan que se realizaron esfuerzos exhaustivos para salvar su vida… con un anuncio instando a los pasajeros a donar sangre en la tienda médica.

Sin embargo, una fuente con conocimiento nos dice que el joven falleció más tarde en el hospital, no en el barco.

Las fotos que obtuvimos también muestran las secuelas de la escena devastadora… con cinta de precaución en el balcón y una carpa en la cubierta visible.

Tragedy struck on the high seas as a passenger tragically died aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

A passenger tells TMZ that a 16-year-old boy lost his life after falling from the balcony to the deck Saturday ... as the 'Allure of the Seas' vessel headed from Port Canaveral in Florida to Nassau, Bahamas, in the early hours. It’s unclear if the fall was accidental.

We're told extensive efforts were made to save his life ... with an announcement urging passengers to donate blood at the medical tent.

However, a source with knowledge tells us the boy passed away later at the hospital ... not on the ship.

Photos we obtained also show the aftermath of the devastating scene ... with caution tape on the balcony and a tent on the deck visible.

Dak Prescott couldn't be happier to have a baby girl on the way ... revealing he was hoping to welcome a daughter with his girlfriend, Sarah Jane Ramos -- and there's a special reason behind it.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback -- who went public with the huge news over the holiday weekend -- spoke with reporters about his growing family on Monday ... and he said he's absolutely stoked to become a papa.

"Super, super blessed to have that responsibility," Prescott said. "But, at the same time [to] have that opportunity to start a family and bring a child into this world. I know what my mom means to me and, in a sense, have that feeling in a different role is something I'm looking forward to."

Of course, Dak lost his mother, Peggy, to colon cancer in 2013 ... and has kept her memory alive throughout his journey to becoming an NFL star.

He also has multiple tattoos in her honor ... including a Pegasus on his right leg.

Dak also stated the couple has already picked out a name for the baby on the way ... but will remain tight-lipped until the due date in March.

Prescott also joked about his recent success on the field ... chalking it up to his newfound "dad strength."

Think your Thanksgiving weekend travels were bad? Odds are they weren't nearly as awful as the ones the Nicholls State football team just had to endure.

According to reps for the school, the entire squad -- plus a bunch of staff members -- were stranded at a tiny airport in Illinois for nearly 24 hours with limited food and water ... all this after it lost its FCS playoff game.

The 6-5 Colonels were in Carbondale, Ill. on Saturday for the first round of the FCS postseason ... and after they got blown out by Southern Illinois, 35-0, they headed to Veterans Airport in Marion to catch a ride home.

The problem, according to Colonels athletic director Jonathan Terrell, is due to various unforeseen circumstances ... everyone had to lay out on the airport floor for around 22 hours as they waited for a pilot and a plane.

Terrell was critical on X of the NCAA, which handled the team's travel plans.

"Student athlete welfare matters, NCAA," Terrell wrote. "Seven hours in an airport, no transportation, no food and out of water!!!!"

Fortunately for the team, Terrell said SIU and Southland Sports Commissioner Chris Grant were able to get them more water and food throughout Sunday.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are ready to live closer to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood ... our sources say they're eyeing a move to Los Angeles.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Meghan and Harry have been discussing a move to L.A. after deciding to no longer look for a home in Malibu.

We're told Meghan and Harry are taking interest in different L.A. neighborhoods, though they haven't toured any houses yet ... other than the $8 million plot of land in the 'Bu they checked out back in September, which they've decided to pass on.

Meghan and Harry live up the coast in Montecito, and a move to L.A. makes sense ... they've been attending lots of Hollywood events, and while Malibu is way closer than Montecito, they feel it's still too far from where they want to be.

Our sources say privacy and community are at the top of the list for Meghan and Harry ... which is one reason they soured on that estate in Malibu.

After TMZ broke the story of Meghan and Harry touring an estate off Pacific Coast Highway, we're told the property became a magnet for paparazzi and news coverage ... which created safety concerns for them and ultimately steered them away.

Meghan and Harry have lived in the Los Angeles area before ... and were able to fly under the radar at first.

You may recall ... Meghan and Harry lived in Tyler Perry's mansion in Beverly Ridge Estates for several weeks back in 2020, going mostly undetected ... and our sources say they want to move somewhere similar, where neighbors share concerns about privacy and security.

Meghan and Harry gushed over Tyler's place in their docuseries ... with Harry describing his time there as "bliss because no one knew we were there ... We were there for six weeks, and no one knew. My family still thought I was in Canada."

Eventually, the media caught on and figured out where Meghan and Harry were living, forcing Tyler to secure the property with a fence to stop paparazzi from snapping photos.

Tyler says he and his neighbors lived privately for years and had never seen anything like the media blitz over Meghan and Harry ... claiming once the word got out there were drones and helicopters flying over the home 24/7, and people sneaking onto the property and cutting holes in the chain link fence.

Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry están listos para vivir más cerca del brillo y el glamour de Hollywood ... nuestras fuentes dicen que están mirando un movimiento a Los Ángeles.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ ... Meghan y Harry han estado discutiendo una mudanza a Los Ángeles después de decidir no buscar más una casa en Malibú.

Nos dicen que Meghan y Harry están tomando interés en diferentes barrios de Los Ángeles, aunque no han visitado ninguna casa todavía ... aparte de la parcela de 8 millones de dólares en el 'Bu que revisaron en septiembre, que han decidido pasar.

Meghan y Harry viven en la costa de Montecito, y un movimiento a Los Ángeles tiene sentido ... que han estado asistiendo a una gran cantidad de eventos en Hollywood y mientras Malibú es mucho más cerca que Montecito, sienten que es todavía demasiado lejos de donde quieren estar.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la privacidad y la comunidad están en la parte superior de la lista de Meghan y Harry ... que es una de las razones por las que se agriaron en esa finca en Malibú.

Después de que TMZ publicó la historia de Meghan y Harry visitando una finca frente a la autopista Pacific Coast, nos dicen que la propiedad se convirtió en un imán para los paparazzi y la cobertura de noticias ... lo que creó preocupaciones de seguridad para ellos y, finalmente, los alejó.

Meghan y Harry han vivido en el área de Los Ángeles antes ... y fueron capaces de volar bajo el radar al principio.

Usted puede recordar ... Meghan y Harry vivieron en la mansión de Tyler Perry en Beverly Ridge Estates durante varias semanas en 2020, pasando casi desapercibidos ... y nuestras fuentes dicen que quieren mudarse a algún lugar similar, donde los vecinos comparten preocupaciones sobre la privacidad y la seguridad.

Meghan y Harry elogiaron el lugar de Tyler en su docuserie ... con Harry describiendo su tiempo allí como "felicidad porque nadie sabía que estábamos allí ... Estuvimos allí seis semanas y nadie lo sabía. Mi familia todavía pensaba que estaba en Canadá ".

Eventualmente, los medios se dieron cuenta y descubrieron dónde vivían Meghan y Harry, lo que obligó a Tyler a cubrir la propiedad con una valla en un esfuerzo por evitar que los paparazzi tomaran fotos.

Tyler dice que él y sus vecinos vivieron en privado durante años y nunca habían visto nada como el bombardeo mediático sobre Meghan y Harry ... afirmando que una vez que se corrió la voz había drones y helicópteros volando sobre la casa 24/7 y la gente a escondidas en la propiedad y cortar agujeros en la valla de tela metálica.

Before this blonde kiddo bundled up in her beanie and purple jacket turned into a singer and actress, she was just braving the winter weather in Bainbridge Island, Washington with her older sister and shining bright as a child star!

Her claim to fame was on Disney's "Liv and Maddie" where she starred for four seasons, and, now a brunette, she showcases all her glitz and beauty to her 48 million Instagram followers. In 2016, she played Amber Von Tussle on "Hairspray Live".

You may have seen her in the 'Marvel Rising' franchise.
