El apoyo de Tyler Perry para una anciana que lucha por conservar una propiedad de Carolina del Sur que su familia posee desde la época de la Guerra Civil, incluye una nueva casa con piscina.

Josephine Wright es la mujer de 93 años, que está enfrentada con un promotor de Hilton Head y su nieta Charise le dice a TMZ que Tyler se puso en contacto con la familia y le preguntó qué quería para su nueva casa, a lo que ella respondió, 5 dormitorios y una piscina.

Charise dice que Tyler estuvo de acuerdo y su equipo le envió los planos a Josephine, pero su abuela es muy particular y pidió algunos cambios menores, a los que él también accedió.

Como se puede ver en el plano, obtenido por TMZ, también hay una sala de juegos, comedor, oficina, sala de medios y un gran porche.

Nos han dicho que Tyler le está regalando una casa modular a Josephine, lo que significa que se construirá fuera del sitio y luego se trasladará a una parte separada de su propiedad, por lo que no tendrá que dejar la parcela de tierra que ha sido heredada por su familia durante generaciones.

Charise dice que parte de la actual casa de su abuela está construida sobre la sección de propiedad, que es objeto de disputa.

TMZ dio la noticia, Tyler compró la casa y los equipos de construcción se pondrán a trabajar en unas pocas semanas, una vez que todos los permisos estén listos.

Tyler prometió su apoyo a Josephine en julio después de enterarse de su difícil situación, y Charise nos dice que se puso en contacto con la familia a finales de agosto para poner en marcha el proyecto de su nuevo hogar.

En cuanto al enfrentamiento legal de Josephine con el desarrollador, se nos dice que ambas partes están todavía deliberando.

Charise nos dijo: "A mi abuela le gustaría dar las gracias a todas las personas que se fijaron en ella y no vieron a una pequeña dama frágil, sino a una gigante dispuesta a luchar para mantener lo que es legítimamente suyo. Ellá está muy agradecida, que Dios la bendiga".

Tyler Perry's lifeline for an elderly woman fighting to hang on to the South Carolina property her family's owned since the Civil War era includes a new home with a swimming pool.

Josephine Wright is the 93-year-old woman duking it out with a developer in Hilton Head and her granddaughter, Charise, tells TMZ ... Tyler got in touch with the family and asked Josephine what she wanted in a new home, and she told him 5 bedrooms plus a pool.

Charise says Tyler agreed and his team sent Josephine the blueprints. But, she says her grandma is very particular and asked for a few minor changes ... and he obliged.

As you can see in the blueprint, obtained by TMZ, there's also a game room, dining room, home office, media room and a big porch.

We're told Tyler is gifting Josephine a modular home ... meaning it will be built off-site and then moved to a separate part of her expansive property, so she won't have to leave the plot of land that's been passed down by her family for generations.

Charise says part of her grandma's current home is built on the section of property that is the subject of a bitter land dispute.

TMZ broke the story ... Tyler's buying the home and construction crews will get to work in a few weeks once all the permits are squared away.

Tyler pledged his support to Josephine back in July after learning of her plight ... and Charise tells us he reached out to the family in late August to get the ball rolling on the new home.

As for Josephine's legal showdown with the developer ... we're told both sides are still in deliberations.

Charise tells TMZ ... "My Grandmother would like to thank all the people all over the world who looked at her and didn't see a little fragile lady but a giant ready to fight to keep what's rightfully hers. She is humbled and so appreciative, God bless."

An accused con man came up with a bizarre, yet hilarious scheme to get out of paying his restaurant tabs ... he faked heart attacks on TWENTY occasions!!!!

The alleged scam artist, identified as Aidas J., took on a "typical Russian tourist" persona as he hit various eateries in Alicante, Spain, where he moved from his home in Lithuania, according to news reports. He would then go about swindling the establishments.

In his latest grift, Aidas sat down in El Buen Comer and ordered a seafood dish and two whiskies.

After he knocked it all back, he tried to slip out the door without paying. But an eagle-eyed employee blocked him and demanded he pay the $36.80.

Aidas said he needed to get the money from his hotel room, but, when that excuse didn't fly, he pretended to be sick and slumped to the floor.

Of course, the staff was dubious and contacted the police. Responding officers immediately recognized Aidas as the notorious scammer whose been arrested numerous times for the same hijinks.

Aidas was arrested for the unpaid $36 bill and hauled off to the police station. Usually, he spends a few days in jail and then he's back out doing his thing.

Meryl Streep and her husband, Don Gummer, have been living separate lives for six years.

The Oscar-winning actress and her sculptor spouse "will always care for each other," even though "they have chosen lives apart,” according to a statement obtained by the New York Post. The couple has not filed for divorce, as far as we know.

Streep was spotted wearing her wedding band Monday as she attended the Princesa de Asturias Awards 2023 in Spain. But Gummer was not by her side and the last time they were seen together was at the 2018 Academy Awards.

In 1978, the two met through Streep's brother after her boyfriend, John Cazale, had died from lung cancer. The pair got married soon after, but in recent years, they have kept their relationship under the radar.

They own 3 beautiful, sprawling homes in Connecticut, NYC and Pasadena, California.

Meryl Streep y su marido, Don Gummer, llevan seis años viviendo vidas separadas.

La actriz ganadora del Oscar y su cónyuge, que es escultor, "siempre se cuidarán el uno al otro", aunque "han elegido tener vidas separadas", según un comunicado obtenido por el New York Post. La pareja no ha solicitado el divorcio, por lo que sabemos.

Streep fue vista llevando su anillo de boda el lunes, mientras asistía a los Premios Princesa de Asturias 2023 en España. Pero Gummer no estaba a su lado y la última vez que se les vio juntos fue en los Oscar de 2018.

En 1978, ambos se conocieron a través del hermano de Streep después de que su novio, John Cazale, muriera de cáncer de pulmón. La pareja se casó poco después, pero en los últimos años han mantenido su relación bajo el radar

Poseen tres hermosas y amplias casas en Connecticut, Nueva York y Pasadena, California.

Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson was robbed at gunpoint in Los Angeles on Friday morning ... and cops say they were told the brazen thieves made off with over $100K worth of jewelry.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports ... officers responded to calls of a robbery outside a Los Angeles area hotel just after midnight.

Cops were told two men approached the 29-year-old football player, pointed firearms at him ... and demanded he hand over his valuables -- which included a pricey watch.

Our sources say Robinson obliged ... and the thieves took off. Thankfully, the wideout is said to now be doing OK despite the circumstances.

Cops say they've launched an investigation into the matter ... though, so far, no arrests have been made.

Robinson began his career with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 and helped Patrick Mahomes win Super Bowl LIV in 2020. He joined the Rams this offseason -- but he's yet to record a catch through five games.

Angela Simmons allegedly abandoned ship from her penthouse without paying the bill ... and now a judge just hit her with a $48,704.40 default judgment.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Angela rented a flat in the Pembroke at Fort Lee Coop in Randolph, New Jersey in October 2019. The landlord claimed Angela started racking up huge late fees for not paying her rent in full in late 2020 ... and the tab eventually ballooned to more than $50K.

According to the legal docs, Angela failed to respond to the complaint ... and eventually the court entered a default judgment against her for $48K -- which includes late fees, unpaid rent, repairs, and more.

It's interesting ... shortly after the judgment, she kicked promotional efforts for her cake company into overdrive.

Angela's been dating Yo Gotti, who recently told us she's the one and only for him ... maybe he'll crack open his piggy bank to help foot the bill?

Megan Thee Stallion's no longer tethered to the 1501 Certified Ent. label she railed against for years -- and Trinidad James thinks the "Savage" rapper can become an even bigger act.

TJ floated all the possibilities speaking to TMZ Hip Hop at LAX this week but predicts Meg will land all right. He says there's also a possibility momentum fizzles.

Thee Stallion is gearing up to resume her career Monday with a new release after telling fans she was entering a new journey, where she'll be paying out of her own pocket to give fans the good news.

TJ tells us having a solid team is crucial to making money in the music biz and the industry is especially shady when it comes to the needs of women.

Fat Joe suele llevar una vida de lujos a su alrededor, especialmente cuando se trata de sus ruedas. Recientemente, el rapero personalizó un Rolls-Royce Cullinan, por $750K, con un montón de características fuera de este mundo.

El Don ordenó este trabajo hace cuatro meses. Fue una compra improvisada después de que viera una versión de la amplia carrocería Rolls mientras estaba fuera en Dubai.

Nos dicen que Joe, tuvo una llamada de FaceTimed con Will Castro de Unique Whips en Speedvision, el segundo que vio el vehículo y le pidió que le construyera uno.

Will le dice a TMZ Hip Hop que el trabajo resultó ser un reto para el equipo. Joe exige lo mejor y los kits se hacen por encargo y se entregan desde Europa.

En total, desembolsó $100k para el cuerpo del carro y el equipo de Will añadió 24 "ruedas y neumáticos", lo que llevó más de un mes en ser construido.

Will hizo todo el trabajo de carrocería, pintura, etc. y le entregará el carro personalmente a Joe este fin de semana. El último modelo es el tercer Rolls-Royce SUV que Will y su equipo han hecho para el rapero. Solo el año pasado, le hizo un diseño en naranja y negro.

Fat Joe keeps a world of luxury around him, and that includes his wheels ... recently snagging a $750K custom Rolls-Royce Cullinan with a bunch of sick features.

The Don ordered the custom Rolls-Royce 4 months ago -- an impromptu purchase after he saw a version of the wide-body Rolls while he was out in Dubai.

We're told Joe FaceTimed Will Castro from Unique Whips on Speedvision the second he saw the vehicle, and asked Will to build him one.

Will tells TMZ Hip Hop the job proved to be challenging for the team ... Joe demands the absolute best and the kits are made to order and delivered from Europe.

Joe's dropped $100k for the car's body, and Will and his crew added 24” wheels and tires ... the whole thing took the team over a month to build.

Will did all the bodywork, paint, carbon work and will be self-delivering Joe his new car this weekend. The latest cartraption marks the 3rd Rolls-Royce SUV Will and the team has done for Joe ... just last year, they hooked him up with a sweet RR orange-and-black ensemble.

¡La piloto de carreras Christy Georges-Barnett convirtió $25 en más de un millón en una máquina de Las Vegas y su reacción al golpe de suerte no tiene precio!

La piloto de 63 años, que actualmente compite en USRA Dirt Mods y Super Trucks ganó el premio mayor a principios de esta semana en el famoso Caesars Palace de Las Vegas.

El hotel de lujo y casino compartió un video en TikTok de un transeúnte en el momento en que Barnett se puso eufórica a gritar: "Es un millón de dólares".

La multitud estaba completamente en shock. Luego, la cámara se acerca a la máquina para asegurarse de que el premio fuera de más de $1,18 millones.

Por cierto, Christy es una de las mejores corredoras y su carrera despegó después de que decidiera comprar una moto cross cuando tenía solo 20 años.

Desde entonces, ha sido cuatro veces campeona de Dirt Track Pro Stock, 4 veces campeona del Open Wheel Dirt Modified Track, 2 veces campeona del Flat Track de 3 ruedas (250cc), y la lista continúa.

Georges-Barnett es también la única mujer que ha ganado un título UMP Dirty National y la mujer más rápida en un NASCAR en Bonneville Salt Flats (208 MPH).

Race car driver Christy Georges-Barnett turned $25 into more than a MILLION BUCKS at a Las Vegas slot machine ... and her reaction to the big hit was priceless!!

The 63-year-old -- who currently races USRA Dirt Mods and Super Trucks -- won the jackpot earlier this week at the famous Caesars Palace on the Vegas strip.

The luxury hotel and casino shared a bystander's TikTok video of the moment Barnett went hysterical ... showing her yelling, "It's a million dollars," at the slot machine.

The crowd was in complete shock ... and the camera zoomed in on the machine to make sure viewers could clearly see the winning pot was over $1.18 million.

BTW, Christy is one of the best female racers out there ... and her need for speed took off after she decided to buy a dirt bike when she was just 20 years old.

Since then, she's become a 4-time Dirt Track Pro Stock Track champ, a 4-time Open Wheel Dirt Modified Track champion, a 2-time 3-wheeler Flat Track champ (250cc), and the list goes on.

Georges-Barnett is also the only woman to win an UMP Dirty National title and the fastest woman in a NASCAR at Bonneville Salt Flats (208 MPH).

Her husband, Sherman Barnett, also races in stock cars, Super Trucks, Modifieds, Xmods and Late models ... so maybe they take the hunk of cash and get a nice whip!!

DJ Envy's ex-business partner Cesar Pina was arrested on fraud charges Wednesday ... but reports that federal officials raided the iHeartRadio offices and removed electronic equipment are not true ... this according to federal law enforcement sources.

Envy's lawyer Massimo D'Angelo tells TMZ Hip Hop ... the reports are yet another example of the "continued sensationalization" in the media to attach his client's name to this story ... even though he insists Envy is one of the victims, not a perpetrator, of the alleged fraud.

Law enforcement sources tell us the same, and a source iHeartMedia also confirmed to us that no equipment was removed from the building.

We're told the New Jersey Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI all had a part in investigating the case and officials were at the offices to alert Envy that Pina had been arrested.

Pina was charged with one count of wire fraud ... and pleaded not guilty before being released on a $1 million bond.

He's not allowed to leave the state and is restricted to electronic monitoring.

Brandon Miller -- the ex-Crimson Tide star who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft -- has been sued for wrongful death by the family of the woman who was killed in a shooting earlier this year near the University of Alabama.

The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, was filed in a federal court on Friday by Jamea Harris' mother, DeCarla Heard ... nearly 10 months after Harris was allegedly murdered by Miller's friend.

In the suit, Heard claims Miller played a significant role in her daughter's Jan. 14 death ... alleging Miller was the one who came to the location of the shooting with the firearm that Michael Davis then used to kill Harris.

Heard claims Miller, Davis and former Tide basketball player Darius Miles had all been together earlier in the night at a row of clubs in Tuscaloosa, when Miller left because a line to get into one of the bars was too long. She says Miles left his gun in Miller's ride before the basketball phenom took off.

A short time later, though, Heard says Davis and Miles left the bar ... and got into a dispute with Harris, her boyfriend and her cousin. She claims in the suit Miles then texted Miller, now a Charlotte Hornet, asking for his "joint" because "someone was 'fakin',' meaning using words in an aggressive manner with no intention or ability to back them up."

Heard says when Miller showed up minutes later, Miles then retrieved the gun from the hooper's ride, before he handed it off to Davis. She alleges Davis then approached Harris, her BF and her cousin in a car and fired off rounds -- striking Harris with at least one in the face, killing her.

Heard is seeking damages ... claiming Davis, Miles and Miller "should have known that bringing a dangerous weapon to a dispute and discharging said weapon would likely result in harm to those around them."

For his part, Miller's attorney said in February that Miller "never touched the gun, was not involved in its exchange to Mr. Davis in any way, and never knew that illegal activity involving the gun would occur." He was never charged with a crime.

As for Miles and Davis, both are facing capital murder charges over their alleged roles in Harris' death.
