A Minnesota man who apparently didn't know right from wrong now knows witch from witch ... because he's about to fess up that he stole Dorothy's ruby red slippers.

76-year-old Terry Jon Martin, who pled not guilty to stealing maybe the most iconic piece of movie memorabilia ever, is expected to change his plea to guilty Friday, because he had a crisis of conscience.

The shoes -- central to the plot of "The Wizard of Oz" -- were ensconced in the Judy Garland Museum in her hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, until 2005, when someone stole them. It was a big enough case for the FBI to jump in, and the feds recovered the shoes in 2018.

The case went unsolved until this year, when Martin was arrested and charged with theft of a major artwork.

Martin's attorney, Dane DeKrey, says his client -- who is in failing health -- has decided to come clean and confess, saying, "I think Terry is facing his own mortality and I think when people are reaching that point in their life, they cut through the pleasantries and talk turkey."

The shoes, which had magical qualities in the 1939 musical, were insured for $1 million, but valued at an estimated $3.5 mil.

6:08 PM PT -- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's mom, Donna, look thick as thieves ... because Taylor gave Donna one of her famous friendship bracelets.

Pretty ingenious way to get in tight with the family, right?!?

5:00 PM PT -- Taylor Swift is watching the game from Travis Kelce's suite ... sitting next to his mom, Donna.

It's the same suite Taylor was in the first time she watched Travis and the Chiefs play ... so we'll see if she's a good luck charm again, and it seems she's cool with Travis' mom, which is always important.

Taylor Swift is officially in the building, ready to watch Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in person for the third time in four weeks.

Swift just walked into Arrowhead Stadium, where Travis and company are set to take on Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos. Taylor walked through security with a giant smile on her face while wearing a red Chiefs jacket.

Taylor's had a wild 24 hours ... shutting down The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles Wednesday for the premiere of her "Eras Tour" movie.

Taylor posed for pics, chatted with fans and even spent some time with Beyoncé at the premiere. She hopped on a jet out of L.A. and arrived in Kansas City just a few hours ago for the big game.

As we reported, Travis' status was previously "questionable" for the game, as he was battling an ankle injury ... but he's officially gotten the green light.

Taylor previously attended Travis' Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears, then followed the team to New Jersey to watch them play the Jets in Week 4. She skipped out last weekend when the team was in Minnesota.

While Taylor and Kelce have been relatively quiet on their relationship status, we've heard from sources the two had been hanging out for months before she attended his first game.

We should note ... the Chiefs haven't lost since Taylor was first in attendance, so we'll see how this one plays out.

Taylor Swift's fans are passionate and entrepreneurial, already cashing in on their free goodies from her 'Eras Tour' film premiere by hawking little things like a popcorn tin and cup ... for a couple hundy!!!

The 2,200 Swifties lucky enough to have been invited to the worldwide debut of Taylor's movie Wednesday night in L.A., hopped on eBay the next day in hopes of pocketing some extra dough -- pawning off souvenirs they got at the theater.

For instance, that popcorn bucket Beyoncé and Taylor were eating out of when Bey made her surprise appearance -- not the actual one, but one like it -- could fetch a hefty profit.

These sellers are no joke, BTW ... some are asking up to $250 for 2 items -- adding a drink cup to go with the popcorn bucket. Most listings, though, are around $100 right now, and a couple of them even include the tote bag and poster fans also got.

Remember, they got all of this stuff for free -- so, any amount they get is a profit.

Here's the kicker, the bucket and cup aren't even exclusive to the big event -- in fact, they're the same ones the general public can buy at all AMC Theaters, where the flick is playing exclusively.

The tin only costs $19.89 at the theater -- a nod to her 2014 album title and its upcoming rerelease -- and the large cup is $11.99.

Los fans de Taylor Swift no han tardado mucho en intentar sacar beneficio de todos los objetos de valor obtenidos en el estreno de la película "The Eras Tour" ¡porque están cobrando cientos de dólares por una maldita lata de palomitas y una taza!

Los afortunados que fueron invitados al debut mundial de la película de Taylor en Los Ángeles el miércoles, fueron corriendo a eBay al día siguiente con la esperanza de ganar algo de dinero extra, vendiendo cosas como las latas  y tazas de refresco que recibieron cuando llegaron.

Ya sabes, el mismo que Beyoncé y Taylor estaban comiendo cuando Bey hizo su aparición sorpresa en la gran noche de Tay, en otras palabras, esto no es una lata ordinaria.

Estos vendedores no se andan con pequeñeces, algunos están pidiendo la suma de $250 por ambos artículos, pero la mayoría de los artículos están evaluados en $100  y un par de ellos incluyen la bolsa de mano y el cartel que también consiguieron de forma gratuita.

Aquí está el truco, el cubo y la taza ni siquiera eran exclusivos para el gran evento, de hecho, son los mismos que se pueden comprar en los cines AMC en todo el país donde la película.

La lata solo cuesta $19.89 en el teatro, un guiño a su título del álbum de 2014 y su próxima reedición y la taza grande es solo $11.99.

American actor and stuntman Kane Hodder was 33 when he was first cast to play Jason Vorhees -- the revenant zombie with a machete ... disguised with a hockey goalie mask for disguise at Crystal Lake -- in the horror/thrasher film "Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood" back in 1988.

Kane slayed his way through the dreary set with Lar Park Lincoln as the 17-year-old with psychokinetic powers who mistakenly freed Jason from being chained to bottom of the lake, Tina Shepard and Kevin Spirtas, who rented a cabin next to Tina's ... and also survives Jason's murder attempts.

Hodder portrayed this character four times in the 'Friday The 13th' franchise.

Jada Pinkett Smith is gushing about her love for Tupac Shakur again, but this time she's using language that feels like a slight against Will Smith -- the husband she hasn't really been with for 7 years.

The actress is set to release her tell-all memoir, and on Thursday, spoke to Christal Jordan for RollingOut ... and called the late rap icon her one true "soulmate," despite 19 years of marriage to the Fresh Prince.

Jada's reason for never getting romantically involved with Pac is simple, at least to her -- she claims they didn't have any chemistry.

Even more confounding, Jada told Christal ... Pac had proposed marriage to her -- she turned him down, but ya gotta wonder why he was asking someone to marry him if they had zero chemistry???

Jada did explain she feels a "soulmate" isn't about romance.

Earlier this week, the longtime Hollywood couple revealed they actually called it quits on their marriage in 2016 -- splitting up in every way, but legally -- leaving fans confused about why they kept up public appearances.

Not to mention, totally putting Will's Oscars slap on Chris Rock in a new light!

Jada's been unearthing her personal Pac memorabilia in the public eye for years -- which, for a lot of people, felt disrespectful to Will.

She claims all the questions will be answered when her book, "Worthy" drops on Oct. 17.

Warner Bros. is being sued by an angry mom who claims a 'Harry Potter' replica wand seriously injured her toddler's eye ... and she wants a huge check to cover the damages.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Jessica Perry says she bought a 'Potter' replica wand with a light-up pen function from a store and gave it to her kids ... only for it to end up impaling her 3-year-old's eye.

Jessica claims her older son was waving the wand around -- like wizards do in the movies and books -- when the metal writing portion of the pen ejected from the wand, flew across the room and pierced her younger son's eye.

In the docs, she says the pen ruptured his eyeball, nearly leaving him blind and forcing him to undergo a pair of eye surgeries.

She alleges the wand was defective, and Warner Bros. should have known about the risks ... because she says there's at least one online review describing a similar incident.

In the suit, Jessica claims her son had to use painful eyedrops which made him scream in agony ... and she says the eyepatch he had to wear frightened him so much, he could only sleep with his bedroom lights on.

She also says her little boy now has to guard against injuring his retina again ... which means for the rest of his life he can't play sports, roughhouse or have a normal life.

She's suing WB for several million dollars -- $8 mil in compensatory damages for her son's injuries and emotional distress, plus punitive damages.

Jada Pinkett Smith está hablando efusivamente sobre su amor por Tupac Shakur nuevamente, pero esta vez usando un lenguaje que se siente más como un desaire hacia Will Smith, el marido con quien realmente no ha estado durante 7 años.

La actriz está a punto de lanzar su libro de memorias, y este jueves habló con RollingOut, en donde llamó al fallecido icono del rap su verdadera "alma gemela", esto a pesar de que ha estado casada 19 años con el Fresh Prince.

La razón por la que Jada nunca se involucró románticamente con Pac es simple, según está confesando, no tenían ninguna química.

¡A primera vista suena como algo extraño de decir sobre su alma gemela!

A principios de esta semana, la longeva pareja de Hollywood reveló que en realidad habían puesto fin a su matrimonio en 2016 -separándose en todos los sentidos, menos legalmente-, dejando a los fans confundidos sobre por qué siguieron apareciendo en público.

Por no mencionar la bofetada de Will a Chris Rock en los Oscars, ¡que ahora tiene un nuevo significado!

Jada ha estado desenterrando sus recuerdos personales de Pac durante años, lo que para mucha gente se sentía como una falta de respeto hacia Will.

Ella asegura que todas las preguntas serán respondidas cuando su libro, "Worthy", salga a la venta el 17 de octubre.

Warner Bros. ha sido demandada por una madre furiosa que afirma que una réplica de la varita de "Harry Potter" hirió gravemente el ojo de su hijo y quiere un cheque enorme para cubrir los daños.

Según una nueva demanda, obtenida por TMZ, Jessica Perry dice que compró una réplica de la varita de "Harry Potter" con una función de bolígrafo luminoso en una tienda y se la dio a sus hijos, solo para que empalara el ojo de su hijo de 3 años.

La madre afirma que el hermano mayor del niño estaba agitando la varita alrededor —como los magos hacen en las películas y los libros— cuando la parte de metal de la pluma salió expulsada de la varita, voló a través de la habitación y perforó el ojo de su hijo.

En los documentos, la madre dice que la pluma rompió el globo ocular del niño, casi dejándolo ciego y obligándolo a someterse a un par de cirugías oculares.

La madre dice que la varita era defectuosa y Warner Bros. Debería haber sabido acerca de los riesgos, ya que existe más de una queja en redes sociales.

En la demanda, la madre afirma que tuvo que hacer uso de gotas para tratar los adoloridos ojos de su pequeño, quien lloraba de agonía. Ella dice que el parche en el ojo que tenía que usar lo asustó hasta el punto de que solo podía dormir con su habitación totalmente iluminada.

La madre dice que su hijo previamente sano ahora tiene que protegerse contra lesiones en la retina. Lo que significa que para el resto de su vida no podrá practicar deportes o tener una vida normal.

Ella va tras Warner por toneladas de dinero, buscando $8 millones en daños compensatorios por las lesiones de su hijo y la angustia emocional, y además quiere daños punitivos para castigar a la empresa.

Taylor Swift se subió al escenario del AMC Theater en The Grove el miércoles por la noche, en donde agradeció a sus fans por estar presentes en el estreno de su película y les dijo lo abrumada que se siente con el éxito fenomenal de su gira "Eras".

TMZ dio la noticia, 2.200 fans fueron invitados al estreno mundial de "The Eras Tour". Los 14 AMC estaban llenos hasta la bandera y las cosas se pusieron mucho mejores para ellos cuando Taylor subió al escenario.

La cantante dio un discurso de 3 minutos en los que agradeció a todos por asistir, saludó especialmente a su familia y a su banda, todos los cuales estaban presentes. También dijo que la banda se ha convertido en su familia, al igual que su mamá, papá y hermano.

Explicó además el proceso de selección de quienes obtuvieron entradas para el estreno mundial, diciendo que fueron "seleccionados y escogidos a mano", porque han mostrado algún tipo de apoyo adicional a esta gira.

Taylor dio varios discursos en los distintos teatros de The Grove, diciendo: "Siempre estoy buscando gente con elevados niveles de pasión, increíble sentido del humor en Internet y atención por los detalles. Estas cosas son muy importantes para mí".

El éxito de la película ha sido demencial. "Eras" ya batió todos los récords de venta anticipada de entradas en un solo día: 26 millones de dólares. Para cuando termine el fin de semana, se espera que la película recaude 115 millones de dólares.

Durante la proyección, Taylor estuvo cantando y bailando entre el público.

También estuvo allí con regalos, incluyendo palomitas de maíz, bebidas y dulces. Como era de esperar, los fans intercambiaron pulseras durante la velada.

Un montón de celebridades se presentaron, incluyendo a Adam Sandler, Beyoncé, Simu Liu, Mariska Hargitay, Flavor Flav, Maren Morris y Julia Garner.

Taylor Swift hopped onstage at the AMC Theater at The Grove Wednesday night, thanking her fans who showed up for the premiere of her movie, telling them how overwhelmed she is with the phenomenal success of her "Eras" tour.

TMZ broke the story ... 2,200 fans were invited to the world premiere of "The Eras Tour." All 14 AMCs were packed to the gills, and things got way better for them when Taylor took the stage.

She gave a 3-minute speech thanking folks for showing up, with a special shout-out to her family and her band, all of whom were present. She said the band has become family just like her mom, dad and brother.

She explained the process of selecting who got tickets for the world premiere ... saying they were "hand-selected and handpicked ... because you've shown some type of extra support for this tour."

She gave several speeches at the various theaters in The Grove, saying, "I’m always looking out for people with elevated levels of passion, incredible senses of humor on the internet, attention to detail. These things are very important to me."

The success of the flick is insane ... it's broken all records for single-day advance ticket sales -- $26 million. By the time the weekend is over, the film is expected to gross $115 million!

During the showing, Taylor was singing and dancing along in the audience.

Taylor was also there bearing gifts, including popcorn, free alcoholic drinks and candy. Fans predictably were furiously trading bracelets during the evening.

A bunch of celebs showed, including Adam Sandler, Beyoncé, Simu Liu, Mariska Hargitay, Flavor Flav, Maren Morris and Julia Garner.

Jeremy Allen White fue visto pasando un divertido día en la playa con sus hijas pequeñas. Esto después de aceptar la prueba de alcoholemia cada vez que pasa tiempo con ellas en medio de su divorcio.

La estrella de "The Bear" estaba realizando sus deberes de papá el miércoles, disfrutando de la arena de Malibú con sus hijas pequeñas, Ezer y Dolores.

Todos parecían estar divirtiéndose. Las pequeñas corrían cerca del agua y Jeremy tenía una sonrisa en su rostro mientras los veía jugar. Un momento bastante dulce que no llega mucho después de que se establecieran las reglas para que pudiera seguir viéndolas.

Como informamos, nuevos documentos obtenidos por TMZ mostraron que Jeremy accedió a la prueba de alcoholemia como parte de un acuerdo de custodia que tiene con su exesposa, Addison Timlin.

Nos informan que debe realizarse el test hasta 5 veces a la semana cuando tenga a las pequeñas bajo su cuidado. Y si llegan a encontrar cualquier tipo de bebida alcohólica, la custodia se dará por perdida. Los documentos dicen que Jeremy y Addison también acordaron compartir la custodia física conjunta sobre sus hijas.

Sin embargo, su tiempo de custodia viene con algunas advertencias, aparte de las pruebas, también tiene que asistir a AA (Alcohólicos Anónimos) una vez a la semana, así como a otras sesiones de terapia.

Jeremy Allen White was spotted having a fun day at the beach with his little kids ... this after agreeing to test for booze whenever he spends time with them amid his divorce.

The star of "The Bear" was on daddy duty on Wednesday, taking to the Malibu sand with his young daughters -- Ezer and Dolores.

They all seemed to be having fun ... the kiddos were running around near the water and JAW had a smile on his face watching them play. A pretty sweet moment -- one that came not long after rules were set in place so he could continue to see them.

As we reported, new docs obtained by TMZ showed Jeremy agreed to test for alcohol as part of a custody agreement he has with his estranged wife, Addison Timlin.

It said he would test up to 5 times a week when he has the little ones in his care -- and if any booze is found, that custody goes out the window. Docs said Jeremy and Addison also agreed to share joint physical custody over their kids.

His custodial time comes with some caveats, though ... apart from the testing, he also has to attend AA once a week as well as other therapy sessions.

Beyoncé is letting all the world know ... she's a "Swifty," too!!

Queen Bey made a surprise, unannounced appearance at Taylor Swift's now legendary premiere for her "Eras" tour concert film at The Grove in L.A. Wednesday night.

Taylor looked stunning in a $12,000 blue dress created by none other than Oscar de la Renta. And Beyoncé was the epitome of cool in her all-black bodysuit, chrome bustier and dark sunglasses.

Both superstars gave thousands of "Swifty" fans an even bigger treat -- posing together for photos on the red carpet in front of a wall of throwback images of Taylor and a huge ad for her movie.

Everyone then piled into the theater to watch the movie -- of course, Beyoncé and Taylor had a front-row seat and they proved it by posting an Instagram video of themselves sitting next to each other. Beyoncé playfully tossed popcorn on the ground as Taylor stuffed a kernel into her mouth.

In the caption, Taylor partly wrote, "I'm so glad I'll never know what my life would've been like without @beyone's influence. The way she's taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms."

TMZ first reported ... Taylor was planning to pop up at the premiere after questions swirled about whether she would attend. The music icon took selfies with 2,200 of her excited "Swifties," who were lucky enough to be handpicked to watch the movie with her.

What's more .. the security was totally insane at The Grove, which shut down for the first time in 2 decades for the event.

Hundreds of guards were posted outside the shopping center to keep an eye on things. Barricades were also set up all around the perimeter.

And everything went according to plan.

Don't forget ... Taylor moved the release date for the film from Friday to today. Get your tickets now, Swifties!!!
