Taylor Swift is becoming quite the trendsetter for football game attire ... 'cause the denim shorts she wore at Travis Kelce's latest football game are already sold out online.

As you know, Taylor was in a celeb-packed box at MetLife Stadium Sunday night in New Jersey ... wearing a pair of logo-lettering denim shorts by fashion label AREA.

The jorts were being sold on Farfetch for a whopping $1,213 but were 50% off the night of the game -- but it's all sold out as of Monday morning.

Shouldn't come as a total shock ... millions had their eyes on Taylor during the Chiefs vs. Jets game, with NBC's 'SNF' leaning hard on her viral craze that went down just a week before, and cutting to her a lot throughout the game.

This isn't the only Swift/Kelce clothing choice to run out -- as we reported, a fashion line added "1989" to the name of the jacket Travis wore last week when he was spotted walking out with Taylor, a reference to one of her albums.

That one sold out incredibly fast, too ... so it looks like the 2 will be picking their outfits wisely from now on -- either that, or brands will be reaching out like crazy to get them to put on their threads!

Do you think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will last long term? Vote below.

Donald Trump's business empire is on the line, with the potential for it all to come crumbling down ... as he appears in court for the first time for his $250 million civil fraud trial.

The former president arrived at Manhattan Supreme Court Monday morning as his trial kicked off ... something Trump's previously labeled as a "witch hunt" with the goal of diminishing his run for the presidency.

Trump was seated next to his attorneys Clifford Robert, Alina Habba, and Christopher Kise ... as attorney Kevin Wallace delivered opening statements on behalf of the Attorney General's office.

Wallace said Trump overvalued his statements from anywhere between $812 million and $2.2 billion ... claiming he knew they were false but used them to his advantage.

Monday's trial comes a year after being sued by NY Attorney General Letitia James -- claiming he misrepresented his net worth by billions of dollars. Trump's top execs and his sons Eric and Donald Jr. are also in the crosshairs for the alleged decade-long scheme.

Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last week that Trump and co. were liable for the fraud claims against them -- canceling the defendant's NY business certificates and ordering an independent receiver to oversee their dissolution.

In other words, James got a substantial win in court before the trial even kicked off.

Kim Kardashian y Tom Brady compartieron un divertido momento mientras hacían ofertas por una obra de arte muy cara ¡¡incluso coquetearon un poco!!

Según un testigo, Kim y Tom se presentaron a pujar por una pintura de George Condo en la Caridad de la Alianza de Reforma en Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey, el sábado por la noche

Nos dicen que Kim inició la puja en $500K y luego Tom hizo una oferta más alta antes de que entraran en una batalla campal.

Durante sus idas y venidas las celebridades se reían y se miraban, haciéndolo todo "superdivertido y coqueto", según dice nuestra fuente.

Cuando la puja alcanzó los 2 millones de dólares, los anfitriones del evento intervinieron y decidieron que ambos recibirían su propio cuadro de George Condo.

Cada uno pagó $2 millones por sus lienzos. Algo habitual en la vida de Kim y Tom.

Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady shared a fun-filled moment while bidding on a very pricey piece of art -- and the two even got a bit flirty!!

According to eyewitnesses... Kim and Tom showed up to bid on a George Condo painting at the Reform Alliance Charity in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Saturday night.

We're told Kim kicked off the bidding at $500K, and then Tom put in a higher bid before they got into a full-on bidding war.

During their back and forth, the celebs giggled and kept looking at each other, and it was all "super fun and flirty," our sources tell us.

When the bid reached $2 million, the event hosts stepped in and decided both would receive their own George Condo painting.

But there was a caveat ... Kim and Tom each had to pay $2 million for their canvases, which for them is just chump change.

Tom Brady gave hundreds of kids a day to remember Saturday, by not only hitting up a sports trading card event but also getting in on the action!

Brady was the surprise guest at the Fanatics and Topps Hobby Rip Night in Linwood, New Jersey.

There were some big stars front and center, including Travis Scott, Kevin Hart, who hosted the event, and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.

Fanatics is the biggest sports merchandizer in the game.

The Linwood store has a capacity of 100, but so many people showed hundreds more descended onto the parking lot.

Brady was all in, trading cards with fans and the kids went nuts. Fact is ... Brady owns tons of football cards.

Tom Brady hizo que cientos de niños pasaran un día inolvidable el sábado, no solo asistiendo a un evento de tarjetas coleccionables, sino también participando en todo momento.

Brady fue el invitado sorpresa en el Fanatics y Topps Hobby Rip Night en Linwood, Nueva Jersey.

Hubo algunas grandes estrellas, incluyendo a Travis Scott, Kevin Hart (quien fue el anfitrión del evento) y el CEO de Fanatics Michael Rubin.

Fanatics es el mayor merchandiser de deportes en el negocio.

La tienda de Linwood tiene una capacidad para 100 personas, pero mucha más gente apareció en el estacionamiento.

Brady fue el centro de atención. Le regaló tarjetas con los fans y los niños se volvieron locos. El hecho es que Brady posee toneladas de tarjetas de fútbol.

La tienda de accesorios donde Britney Spears asegura que arrendó los famosos cuchillos de su baile está viendo un gran aumento en las ventas después de sus comentarios, y la ha ayudado a salir del agujero en que se encontraba.

El gerente de Hand Prop Room en Los Ángeles le dice a TMZ que el tráfico online y las llamadas a la tienda se han duplicado desde que Brit nombró su lugar el jueves en Instagram. Los arriendos de utilería, especialmente sus cuchillos, han subido un 50%.

Nos dicen que todo el mundo en el departamento de ventas ha estado recibiendo llamadas de la gente preguntando por la cantante y sus cuchillos, hasta el propio gerente ha estado al teléfono atendiendo el asunto.

El gerente dice que Britney es en parte la responsable de salvar el flujo de ingresos de la tienda, el que ha estado luchando durante la huelga de escritores y actores de este año.

Nos cuenta que la industria del entretenimiento suele ser el "pan de cada día" de la tienda, pero la falta de trabajo significa menos alquileres, lo que los ha llevado a una crisis financiera, de la cual Britney los ayudó a salir.

Él dice que el negocio ha estado escuchando solo canciones de Britney desde que ella se fue, ¡así que la promoción va en ambas direcciones!

Como informamos, Britney compartió un video bailando el lunes, en donde se balanceaba y hacía sonar dos cuchillos alrededor con una leyenda que decía: "No se preocupen NO son cuchillos reales !!!! Halloween es pronto".

La cabeza de George Washington tiene un precio... Porque un mechón original de su famoso cabello está disponible en el mercado.

El primer presidente de los Estados Unidos tenía un mechón de su pelo blanco, que había sido conservado durante siglos, y ahora está a la venta por $45,000.

El mechón de pelo de Washington está atado en una forma ovalada y atado por una caja de cristal, que está envuelto en perlas. También hay un grabado con sus iniciales 'GW' en la parte posterior de la caja.

El cabello fue regalado en su momento a la familia Derby, que mantenía una estrecha relación con George y su esposa Martha.

El pelo de Washington permaneció en la familia Derby durante varias generaciones, pasó de hijo a hijo, y ahora sale al mercado a través de Moments In Time.

Una carta fechada el 15 de agosto de 1873 también está incluida con el mechón del cabello y es parte de la correspondencia entre la familia Derby y otro coleccionista, en el que hablan de las cerraduras.

Recuerden, George Washington supuestamente no llevaba peluca, a diferencia de muchos de sus contemporáneos, y en realidad se empolvaba su propio peinado.

George Washington's got a price on his head ... because a lock of his famous hair is on the open market.

The first president of the United States had a lock of his white hair preserved for centuries ... and now it's up for sale for $45,000.

Washington's hair lock is tied up in an oval shape and bound by a glass case, which is wrapped in pearls. There's also an engraving with his initials 'GW' on the back of the case.

The lock was given to the Derby family back in the day, as the Derbys were close with both George and his wife, Martha.

Washington's hair remained in the Derby family for several generations ... it was handed down from son to son and now it's hitting the open market through Moments In Time.

A letter dated Aug. 15, 1873, is also included with Washington's hair ... it's correspondence between the Derbys and another collector, talking about the locks.

Remember ... GW supposedly didn't wear a wig, unlike many of his contemporaries, and actually powdered his own hairdo.

The prop shop where Britney Spears claims she rented her famous dancin' knives is seeing a big boost in sales after the shout-out ... and it's helped pull the store out of a financial hole.

The manager of Hand Prop Room in L.A. tells TMZ ... online traffic and calls to the shop have doubled since Brit name-dropped their spot Thursday on Instagram. Rental sales for their props, especially knives, have gone up 50%.

We're told everyone in the sales department has been getting calls from people asking about the singer and her knives -- the manager has been fielding tons of calls about Britney.

The manager says Britney is partially to thank for saving the store ... the place has been struggling during the writers' and actors' strikes this year.

The entertainment industry is the shop's bread and butter, but no work meant fewer rentals ... leading to a big financial struggle.

He says the store's been bumping her songs nonstop ever since her post -- so the promotion goes both ways!

As we reported, Britney shared her alarming dance video Monday, swinging and clanking the blades around with a caption that read, "Don’t worry they are NOT real knives !!! Halloween is soon."

Jadakiss y The LOX han llevado el nombre de D-Block sobre sus hombros por años, pero ahora el cuello de J-to-the-MUAH llevará también ese peso, gracias a una enorme pieza de diamantes que se suma a su colección.

El famoso joyero Mazza NYC le dice a TMZ Hip Hop, que él y Jada estuvieron coordinando el concepto de su nueva cadena, intercambiando ideas entre sí hasta que llegaron a la receta perfecta.

Dice que crearon tres diseños diferentes antes de decidirse por el producto final con el que sorprendió al legendario rapero a principios de esta semana.

La cadena D-Block y el colgante costaron 200.000 dólares en total, con un peso de casi 1 kilo de oro entre ambas, ¡¡es como si estuviera caminando con un casco de fútbol a tiempo completo!!

El colgante luce más de 60 quilates de esmeralda y diamantes naturales de corte redondo, ligeramente visibles (VS).

La cadena está cargada con la misma calidad de diamantes, 70 quilates en total.

Kiss lleva años acudiendo a Mazza, al igual que otras estrellas del rap de la Costa Este, como Drake, Jim Jones, Dave East y Millyz.

Jadakiss and The LOX have carried the D-Block name on their shoulders for years, but now J-to-the-MUAH's neck will be carrying that weight ... thanks to a humongous new diamond-laced piece!!!

Celebrity jeweler Mazza NYC tells TMZ Hip Hop ... he and Jada coordinated his newest chain's concept by bouncing ideas off each other until they came up with the perfect bling recipe.

He says they created 3 different designs before settling on the bedazzled finished product which he surprised the legendary rapper with earlier this week.

The D-Block chain and pendant cost $200,000 total, with both weighing in at nearly 1 kilo of gold ... it's like he's walking around with a football helmet on full-time!!!

The pendant sports over 60 carats of emerald and round-cut natural diamonds at VS+ clarity.

The chain itself is also loaded with the same quality diamonds ... 70 cts in total.

Kiss has been going to Mazza for years, as have fellow East Coast rap stars Drake, Jim Jones, Dave East and Millyz.

A U.S. congressman pulled a fire alarm on Capitol Hill this weekend right before the House was set to vote on a spending bill in hopes of avoiding a government shutdown.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) copped to the apparent delay tactic Saturday ... with a rep from his office saying, "Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion."

Capitol Police released a photo to the public, which appears to show Bowman pulling down the lever inside the Cannon House Office Building -- adjacent the Capitol itself -- which obviously set off a siren in the building and evacuation to follow. He's now under investigation for the stunt ... and Republicans are slamming as unpatriotic.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he was appalled that Dems would resort to something like this ... accusing them as a party of trying to force the federal government into a freeze.

Now, as for the actual vote itself ... it eventually continued, and a bill proposed by House Republicans actually got enough votes to pass -- which will now get kicked over to the Senate. They gotta vote on it soon ... come midnight, the shutdown goes into effect.

The bill -- which was voted in as a bipartisan, 45-day stopgap -- has a lot of disaster relief funding in it ... but no extra cash for Ukraine, which is something Dems were seeking.

The White House says this House bill should do the trick for now, but they expect McCarthy to bring a separate bill "shortly" to address the Ukraine issue. Time will tell if he does.

Lil Tay spoke out for the first time this weekend since her alleged death went viral ... and she's pointing the finger at her dad for her years-long absence, accusing him of a lot.

The former child internet sensation -- who's now a teenager -- went live on IG Saturday, but not before she dropped a new song and video treatment minutes earlier. It's called "Sucker 4 Green," and it seems to be the official mark of her comeback into music.

The video features Tay singing/dancing in scantily-clad outfits and posing in front of a bunch of luxury cars while at a super nice house. She's going on about her love for money, etc.

As for the live chat itself ... it started out as mostly a performance, with Lil Tay hopping on different instruments and covering famous songs -- showing off her musical prowess. Eventually, she talked on camera ... and she was doing her typical foul-mouthed shtick.

Once she got past that ... Tay got serious and addressed the elephant in the room -- namely, where the heck she's been and why she's been making these accusations against her dad.

Long story short, LT claims her dad got involved in her life while she was getting famous several years ago -- and says he successfully gained custody of her for a good while ... a chapter in her life during which Tay alleges she was abused and mistreated by her father, Chris Hope, and his now wife. She alleges physical and mental abuse, among other things.

After airing a lot of allegations, Tay explained the death hoax ... which she claims was her father's doing -- not to mention a person she says has gone around claiming to be her ex-manager. Tay claims this person has been lying ... alleging they're in cahoots with her dad. She claims they wanted to fake her death as part of some sort of crypto scheme -- although the exact details of that aren't clear. Frankly, her diatribe was sorta all over the place.

The bottom line ... Tay says her mom has regained custody and that she's ready to move on and restart her career. LT fiercely defends her mother as her biggest supporter -- and, clearly, Tay herself is onboard with the game plan here ... namely, getting into showbiz.

Now, as far as where Tay's dad lands on all this ... he told us last week that her abuse claims were BS -- and strongly suggested legal action was coming toward whoever was putting his kid up to this. Sounds like there's some unsettled business between her parents.

Lil Tay habló por primera vez este fin de semana desde que su supuesta muerte se hizo viral, y está responsabilizando a su padre por su ausencia de años, acusándolo de mucho.

La sensación en Internet, que ahora es un adolescente, realizó un vivo video en directo por Instagram el sábado. Minutos antes dio a conocer una nueva canción y un video, la que se llama "Sucker 4 Green" y parece ser la  señal oficial de su regreso a la música.

En el video aparece Tay cantando y bailando con poca ropa y posando delante de un montón de carros de lujo en una casa muy bonita. Allí habla de su amor por el dinero, etc.

En cuanto al chat en directo, este comenzó como una actuación, con Lil Tay tocando diferentes instrumentos y versionando canciones famosas que demuestran su destreza musical. En cierto momento, habló hacia la cámara, con su estilo malhablado que la caracteriza.

Luego de eso, se puso seria y abordó el elefante en la habitación, es decir, la pregunta sobre dónde diablos ha estado todo este tiempo y por qué ha estado haciendo acusaciones en contra su padre.

En pocas palabras, Lil Tay afirma que su padre se involucró en su vida mientras se estaba haciendo famosa hace varios años, un capítulo de su vida durante el cual alega que fue abusada y maltratada por su padre, Chris Hope, y su actual esposa. Lil alega abuso físico y mental, entre otras cosas. Su padre había obtenido la custodia para cuidarla durante un buen tiempo.

Después de airear un montón de acusaciones, Tay se refirió al engaño sobre su muerte, que según ella fue cosa de su padre, por no hablar de una persona que según ella ha ido por ahí diciendo ser su ex-manager. Tay afirma que esta persona ha estado mintiendo, alegando que están confabulados con su padre. Afirma que querían fingir su muerte como parte de una especie de esquema criptográfico, aunque los detalles exactos no están claros. Francamente, su diatriba fue un poco por todas partes.

En conclusión, Tay dice que su madre ha recuperado la custodia y que está lista para seguir adelante y reiniciar su carrera. Defiende ferozmente a su madre como su mayor apoyo, y claramente, la propia Tay está muy bordo con el plan de entrar en el mundo del espectáculo.

Ahora, en cuanto al rol del padre de Tay en todo esto, él nos dijo la semana pasada que las denuncias de abuso eran mentira y sugirió fuertes acciones legales a quienquiera que esté poniendo a su hija en esta situación. Parece que hay algunos asuntos pendientes entre sus padres.

Taylor Swift's concert movie isn't even out yet, but it sounds like movie theater honchos are already gearing up for another one with a big name ... and that would be Beyoncé.

Deadline reports that Queen Bey is next in line for a documentary film that captures her "Renaissance" world tour -- and that a joint announcement is likely to occur as early as Sunday alongside AMC ... which is the movie theater house that'll partner with her for this.

As for a release date ... word is Dec. 1, and Deadline says they're choosing that to capitalize on the post-Thanksgiving weekend dead week and to have 2023 go out with a bang. At this point, it's unclear if this would only be a domestic release or an international one.

The outlet also says that the show(s) of hers that are going to be featured in the flick are likely to be her two Houston concerts last week ... which were supposedly filmed.

We haven't seen evidence of cameras set up at those shows, but there've been rumblings dating back to April that Bey would be doing something like this in her hometown.

Of course, this news comes on the heels of Taylor's "Eras" movie expanding to a worldwide release after a massive amount of demand from ticket-buyers here in North America. AMC has said it's already on pace to rake in at least $100 million during its opening weekend.

Considering how big of a fan base Beyoncé has ... it'll be interesting to see if they snap up as many tickets as the Swifties have so far. And in terms of AMC -- truly a smart move.

People aren't flocking to theaters for movies anymore like they used to ... but they might come running for filmed concerts of their favorite artists. So far, that's a winning formula.
