El superproductor Southside cree que la afirmación de Jermaine Dupri de ser el pionero en "hacer llover (dinero)" en los clubes necesita un asterisco, ¡porque la Atlanta que él conoce ha estado disfrutando de este pasatiempo desde siempre!

Nos pusimos al día con el jefe de 808 Mafia en LAX y nos dice que estuvo en un club con Jermaine Dupri y Nelly, y ninguno de los dos pudo capear la tormenta de dinero que convocó. De hecho, dice que al final se quedaron sin nada.

Southside sí reconoció al rapero y dueño de So So Def como parte de la realeza en el reino de hacer tumbar los clubes de striptease, pero sugiere que lo adoptó de raperos más antiguos, como los padres de Southside, que no tenían estatus de celebridades, y no lo querían, debido a ciertos negocios en los que podrían haber estado involucrados.

Recientemente, JD participó como invitado en el programa de Apple Music de la estrella del R&B, Estelle, donde recordó haber convencido a las strippers de Magic City de que lanzar dinero al aire y recogerlo del suelo era algo bueno.

El ejecutivo musical también señaló su éxito de 1998, "Money Ain't a Thang", con Jay-Z, como el punto de partida en hacer llover billetes en los videos musicales, lo que está en sintonía con el punto de Southside.

George Clooney estaría haciendo las maletas y dejando el Lago Como, ya que se dice que se estaría deshaciendo de su villa frente al mar, luego de más de dos décadas allí.

El actor habría puesto a la venta su enorme casa italiana, según el medio italiano Oggi, que dice haber confirmado con un agente inmobiliario local que supuestamente está involucrado en la venta.

Yasemin Baysal, es citada en la nota diciendo: "Los rumores también habían circulado años atrás, pero esta vez son verdad", y continúa diciendo que una agencia de Milán se encargará de la mayor parte de la transacción, pero se niega a decir cuál exactamente.

Lo que sí ha revelado es que un cliente potencial está muy interesado en el piso de George. En cuanto a su precio, no parece haber una cifra exacta. Se estima que la villa de Clooney fue valorada en hasta 100 millones de dólares el año pasado, pero el agente de bienes raíces le dice a Oggi que una cifra más realista está en algún lugar entre los $75 y $85 millones.

De cualquier manera, es un buen margen de beneficio para George y su esposa, Amal. Clooney compró el lugar en 2002 por 10 millones de dólares a la famosa familia Heinz y lo ha tenido en su poder desde entonces. En cuanto a por qué se van, Oggi informa que a Amal no le gusta la zona, y supuestamente prefiere Provenza, que está en el sur de Francia.

Compraron otra finca allí hace no mucho tiempo y se mudaron también. No está en el agua como su mansión de Como, es más privada y está en el campo, en un viñedo. Durante años, la presencia de Clooney en Como ha atraído a un montón de prensa y ojos curiosos.

A primera vista, parece que los Clooneys quieren algo un poco más discreto y escondido, y sin duda lo han conseguido con su nueva compra.

George Clooney is apparently packing up his bags and leaving Lake Como in the dust -- the dude is said to be unloading his waterfront villa ... this after more than 2 decades there.

The actor is reportedly putting his massive Italian home on the market -- this according to Italian outlet Oggi ... which says it's confirmed with a local real estate agent purported to be involved in the sale.

This woman, Yasemin Baysal, is quoted as saying ... "The rumors were also going around in previous years, but this time it's true." She goes on to say that an agency in Milan will be handling the bulk of the transaction -- but refuses to say which one exactly.

What she does reveal, though, is that one potential client is very interested in GC's pad. As for how much it's going for -- there doesn't seem to be an exact price listed. Clooney's villa was estimated to be valued at as much as $100 million last year ... but the real estate agent tells Oggi that a more realistic ask is somewhere in the ballpark of $75-$85 mil.

Either way, it's a helluva profit margin for George and his wife, Amal. He bought the place way back in 2002 for a reported $10 million from the famed Heinz family ... and he's had it in his possession ever since. As for why they're bailing ... Oggi reports Amal doesn't like the area, and supposedly prefers Provence -- which is in the South of France.

They bought another estate there not too long ago and moved in as well. It's not on the water like their Como mansion is ... this one is super private, in the countryside, and sits on a vineyard. For years, Clooney's presence in Como has drawn a lot of press and eyeballs.

On its face, it would seem the Clooneys want something a little more low-key and tucked away, and they certainly got that with their new buy.

El icónico carro de Britney Spears, en el que siempre fue vista conduciendo durante 2007, está a la venta, lo que significa que alguien puede tener las llaves de uno de los carros más documentados de la celebridad en la historia.

El auto negro de Britney de 2006 es un Mercedes-Benz CLK350, y ha estado en exhibición en el Museo del Automóvil Volo en Illinois desde 2011. Pero ahora tiene un precio de $70k.

El deportivo descapotable fue conocido como el vehículo más peligroso de Los Ángeles en su momento, porque es el que Brit conducía en 2007 cuando su vida empezó a salirse de control.

Fue el año en que se saltó semáforos en rojo jugando al gato y al ratón con los paparazzi, dio innumerables paseos nocturnos y se dio a la fuga.

Aunque dista mucho de ser un coche único, el Benz de Britney se hizo casi tan reconocible como ella, ya que los paparazzi le tomaban cientos de fotografías a diario.

Esta oscura etapa de su vida llegó a su punto álgido en enero de 2008, cuando fue sacada de su casa en ambulancia y trasladada a un hospital. Más tarde ese mismo año sería puesta bajo tutela hasta 2021.

En otras palabras, este carro ha pasado por todo, que es exactamente la razón por la que está en un museo para que todos lo vean.

El Príncipe Harry, Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey y Ellen DeGeneres estuvieron en el evento de caridad de Kevin Costner, en honor a las instituciones que socorren a la gente, demostrando que la realeza de Hollywood está muy viva.

Las celebridades de la lista A asistieron el viernes al evento "One805 Live", en la finca Oceanside de Kevin en Santa Bárbara, para honrar a los policías locales y los bomberos por su servicio, particularmente durante la terrible tormenta de enero que causó evacuaciones en Montecito.

Todos estaban de muy buen humor cuando Kevin y Oprah pronunciaron sus discursos sobre los socorristas, los que orgullosamente estaban junto a ellas en el escenario.

Harry y Meghan también subieron al escenario mientras eran presentados como invitados especiales. En un momento dado, Harry entregó un premio honorífico a Kevin antes de que el ganador del Oscar iniciara su discurso.

Maroon 5 puso el broche de oro con su enérgica actuación ante una multitud.

Otros invitados notables del evento de recaudación, que consistía en unos 12.000 dólares por mesa, fueron los padres de Kate Perry.

The car Britney Spears drove during, perhaps, the most cataclysmic year of her life is now for sale ... meaning someone's getting the keys to one of the most photographed celeb vehicles of all time.

The iconic ride is Britney's black 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK350, and it's been on display at the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois since 2011 -- but now it has a price tag of $70k.

The sporty convertible was once known as the most dangerous vehicle on the streets of L.A., because it's the one Brit was driving in 2007 as her life started to spiral out of control.

That was the year she zoomed through red lights while playing cat-and-mouse with paparazzi, went for countless late night joyrides and also had an infamous hit-and-run.

While it's far from a unique car, Brit's Benz became almost as recognizable as her as paps snapped hundreds of shots of it on the daily.

This dark stage in her life came to a head in January of 2008 when she was removed from her house by ambulance, and taken to a hospital -- and later that year she would be placed under the conservatorship that remained in place until 2021.

In other words, this car's been through the wringer ... which is exactly why it's been parked in a museum for all to see.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres all dropped into Kevin Costner's charity event for first responders in California ... proving Hollywood Royalty is very much alive and well.

The A-List celebs descended on the "One805 Live" event at Kevin's Oceanside estate in Santa Barbara Friday to honor local cops and firefighters for their service, particularly during January's horrible storm that caused evacuations in Montecito.

Everyone was in great spirits as Kevin and Oprah delivered speeches about the first responders who proudly stood next to them onstage.

Harry and Meghan also walked out onstage as they were introduced as special guests. At one point, Harry gave an honorary award to Kevin before the Oscar-winning actor launched into his address.

Maroon 5 capped things off with their high-energy performance in front of a packed crowd.

Other notable guests for the $12,000 per-table fundraiser included Kate Perry's parents.

Deion Sanders deserves more money than Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and every other coach in college football ... at least, that's what Jeremy Bloom is saying -- telling TMZ Sports Prime should get a new contract worth around $16 million per year!!!

Bloom said the deal should be in place for at least the next 10 years too ... explaining it's paramount the Buffs get the updated contract in front of their head coach ASAP to avoid him leaving for more cash elsewhere.

"You've got to put that in front of him," the former Colorado superstar receiver said. "Because right now, the buyout is just too small. Any team can come together, get a bunch of boosters, buy him out and give him some long-term deal."

Bloom is so nervous about losing the Buffs leader ... he actually said he'd be willing to contribute $100,000 of his own cash to kick off the fundraising for CU's new pact with Prime.

For now, though, Deion will be working for roughly $6 million a year ... after he inked a 5-year, $29.5 million contract to coach the Buffs this offseason.

Sanders, though, has been adamant that he's planning to stay at CU for the long haul new deal or not ... saying he really likes it in Boulder, and it's quickly becoming his home.

But, Bloom ain't ready to buy all that just yet ... telling us, "That's what coaches say. They feel it in the moment, until someone new comes to them and says, 'We're going to bet the whole farm on you.'"

Elon Musk's Neuralink is on the verge of beginning human testing, and the technology that could potentially help people suffering from all sorts of neurologic disabilities ... there's also potential for massive danger.

Dr. Marcello Ienca, a professor of artificial intelligence, joined us on "TMZ Live" to explain how Neuralink can advance medicine by light years ... tackling brain disorders that affect hundreds of millions of people, and even quadriplegia.

Dr. Ienca says the first human test groups will be patients living with paralysis, and he breaks down how it almost literally rewires the brain to do activities it previously couldn't.

However, there's also an alarming aspect that feels like an episode of "Black Mirror" -- Dr. Ienca says the Neuralink chip in someone's brain means a computer technically has access to their thoughts -- and if the computer has it, there's potential for other people around you to get it.

Yeah, think about it .. your spouse, coworker, neighbor and/or friend knowing all your thoughts. 😬

Neuralink de Elon Musk está a punto de comenzar las pruebas en humanos, y la tecnología que potencialmente podría ayudar a las personas que sufren todo tipo de discapacidades neurológicas ... también tiene el potencial de ser un peligro masivo.

El Dr. Marcello Ienca, profesor de inteligencia artificial, se unió a "TMZ Live" para explicar cómo Neuralink puede hacer avanzar la medicina en años luz. Esto, al abordar los trastornos cerebrales que afectan a cientos de millones de personas, e incluso con tetraplejia.

El Dr. Ienca dice que los primeros grupos de prueba en humanos serán los pacientes que viven con parálisis, y desglosa cómo casi literalmente podría volver a cablear el cerebro para que realice actividades que antes no podía.

Sin embargo, también hay un aspecto alarmante que se siente como un episodio de "Black Mirror". Dr. Ienca dice que el chip Neuralink en el cerebro de una persona significa que un ordenador técnicamente tiene acceso a sus pensamientos, y si el equipo lo tiene, existe la posibilidad de que otras personas a su alrededor puedan conseguirlos también.

Sí, piénsalo... tu cónyuge, tu compañero de trabajo, un vecino y/o amigo al tanto de todos tus pensamientos. 😬

Singapore Airlines is getting the gas face from a couple of pissed passengers who say a 4-legged traveler's flatulence blew them out ... all the way from Paris to Singapore.

Gill and Warren Press say they ended up seated next to a dog, and its owner, during the 13-hour trek back in June.

It's a cute enough dog to look at, but the Presses say the pooch bombed on them for the whole flight ... farting so badly, they eventually surrendered their premium seats, and moved back to economy.

The couple says the gas was only half the battle, because they also had to contend with the pup -- which looks like a bulldog mix -- loudly snorting.

They were determined to get something for their troubles, and told Insider they went through several months of negotiations with Singapore Airlines before getting a $1,410 refund.

The Presses say they plan to donate the money to a guide dog org in their native New Zealand.

As for their future travels, they'd just appreciate a heads-up if they're seated next to an animal. Gil says, "I expect to see a baby. I expect young children. But, I don't expect a dog."

Gotta wonder what Singapore Airlines would pay if it were a gassy human.

We've all had those flights!

The Oakland Athletics didn't pull out many stops when it came to Miguel Cabrera's retirement gift -- they simply handed the future Hall of Famer an $80 bottle of wine ... and MLB fans everywhere have been clowning the org. over it ever since.

The gesture was supposed to be a sweet one ... as Cabrera's been landing gifts from teams throughout his final season in the Big Leagues this year -- but many have been calling the A's cheap over the present that they doled out on Thursday night.

After all, the team is worth over $1 billion ... and there's been a loud roar from social media users claiming it should have sprung for far more than some Cabernet Sauvignon.

Granted, the bottle was signed by the team ... but supporters of the Tigers star have noted other teams have gone far more above and beyond for Cabrera during his last season.

For example ... the New York Yankees gave the slugger his own custom subway sign of 161st Street and a $10k check for his foundation that aims to help young athletes by improving communities through sports and education.

The Los Angeles Dodgers got him his own Hollywood star ... while the Angels gifted him a custom surfboard -- since Cabrera is known to hit the waves here and there.

Some other notable mentions came from the Guardians, who gave Miggy a custom guitar; the Texas Rangers, who got him a custom saddle; and the Marlins, who hooked him up with cigars, a custom cigar box and his favorite rum.

Las hijas de David Foster no están dando tregua al gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, a quien acusan de intentar convertir a Cali en un estado socialista.

Las hermanas Erin y Sara criticaron a Newsom en su podcast, "El Primer Podcast del Mundo", diciendo que hay una razón por la que mucha gente quiere rescatar a su estado natal y es que están hartos de lidiar con toda la regulación, cortesía de Newsom.

Su crítica contra el gobernador se produjo después de que Erin revelara que se va a mudar del Estado de Oro a Nashville.

Eso no es todo. Las hijas de David se han quejado del gobernador Newsom por un proyecto de ley que Sara dice obligaría a las personas que se hayan mudado de California a seguir pagando impuestos en el Estado durante una década.

Para que conste, la propuesta de ley en cuestión, presentada por primera vez a principios de año, se centraría en las personas que ganan $30 millones o más al año, y las empresas lucrativas que decidan retirarse del Estado. La ley propuesta obligaría a pagar a las personas y empresas que amasan riquezas mientras residen en Cali, pero se mueven a otro lugar antes de liquidar esa riqueza.

David Foster's daughters ain't holding back on California's Governor, Gavin Newsom ... calling out the politician and grousing he's trying to turn Cali into a socialist state.

Sisters Erin and Sara skewered Newsom on their "The World's First Podcast," essentially saying there's a reason lots of people are bailing from their home state ... they're sick of jumping through regulatory hoops, courtesy of the Guv.

Their rant came after Erin revealed she was getting out of The Golden State and moving to Nashville.

That's not all .. David's kids rail on Gov. Newsom for a bill that Sara says would force people who move out of the State to continue to pay CA taxes for a decade.

For the record, the proposed exit law in question -- first introduced at the beginning of the year -- would target rich folks who make $30 million or more a year and lucrative businesses that leave the State. The proposed law would require people and businesses that amass paper wealth while residing in Cali but move before liquidating that wealth.

GoFundMe is putting a permanent kibosh on Rob Mercer, the World Series of Poker player who lied on the platform about having cancer, took tens of thousands of dollars in donations and then blew it in Vegas.

A spokesperson for GoFundMe tells TMZ ... those who chipped in for Rob's fundraiser earlier this year have been fully refunded, and he's been axed from using the site in the future.

We're told the company has zero tolerance for those who "exploit the generosity of our community," adding GoFundMe often cooperates with law enforcement investigations into those "formally accused of wrongdoing."

As we reported, Rob came clean this week about his big lie ... in which he created a GoFundMe to get enough cash to attend July's WSOP event in Las Vegas.

He claimed he had colon cancer and reportedly received between $30,000 and $50,000 from people supporting him. However, he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, he made it all up, and claimed it was a "spur-of-the-moment" decision.

Rob also told the outlet he thinks he actually has undiagnosed breast cancer but was embarrassed to say that, which is why he says he picked colon cancer instead.

The issue he's facing now ... if he really does have breast cancer, he won't be able to jump on GoFundMe and ask for help.

GoFundMe está negando permanente el uso de su plataforma a Rob Mercer, el jugador de la Serie Mundial de Poker que mintió acerca de tener cáncer y se quedó con decenas de miles de dólares en donaciones para ir a gastarse todo a Las Vegas.

Un portavoz de GoFundMe le dijo a TMZ que las personas que contribuyeron a la recaudación de Rob a principios de este año ya han sido reembolsados completamente y a él se le ha prohibido volver a usar el sitio en el futuro.

Se nos dice que la empresa tiene tolerancia cero para aquellos que "explotan la generosidad de su comunidad", y añaden que GoFundMe a menudo coopera con las investigaciones policiales contra aquellos "acusados formalmente de malas acciones."

Como informamos, Rob se sinceró esta semana de su gran mentira, que consitió en crear un GoFundMe para recaudar dinero que le permitiera asistir al evento principal de la Serie Mundial de Póker, de julio en Las Vegas.

Para lograrlo, le dijo a la comunidad que tenía cáncer de colon y, al parecer, recibió entre 30.000 y 50.000 dólares en apoyo. Sin embargo, según declaró al Las Vegas Review-Journal, se lo inventó todo, lo que hoy describe como una decisión "improvisada".

Rob también le dijo al medio que cree que tiene cáncer de mama sin diagnosticar, pero que le daba vergüenza decirlo. Por eso prefirió decir cáncer de colon en su lugar.

El problema es que si ahora realmente tiene cáncer de mama, no será capaz de correr a GoFundMe y pedir ayuda.
