Jonathan Majors London Police Getting Involved In Domestic Violence Case

New reports have surfaced as part of Jonathan Majors' domestic violence case, implicating he was involved in a similar incident last year -- this one happening in London.

The Manhattan D.A. prosecuting Majors for his 2023 arrest for alleged domestic violence in New York City has entered documents that come from across the pond ... involving an alleged incident with him and a woman 6 months before the NYC event.

The details surrounding the report are mostly unclear, but the alleged incident occurred last year at Molineux Stadium -- a soccer stadium in Wolverhampton, England. The actor was in England filming the latest season of "Loki," which is currently airing.

The D.A. says the London report includes medical records and treatment info for a woman connected to the alleged incident.

As we reported, Jonathan was arrested in March for misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment after allegedly slapping his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

He's denied the allegations repeatedly, and Jabbari -- who is from London -- is expected to be charged with assault after he filed a counter-complaint against her in June.

Jonathan Majors La policía de Londres se implica en caso de violencia doméstica

Nuevos informes han salido a la luz, en el marco del caso de violencia doméstica de Jonathan Majors, los que sugieren que este estuvo involucrado en un incidente similar el año pasado, en esta oportunidad en Londres.

La Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan, que está procesando a Majors por un arresto en 2023 por presunta violencia doméstica en la ciudad de Nueva York, ha ingresado documentos que vienen del otro lado del océano y que lo implican en un presunto incidente entre él y una mujer, seis meses antes del evento de Nueva York.

Los detalles que rodean al informe son en su mayoría poco claros, pero se sabe que el presunto incidente ocurrió el año pasado en Molineux Stadium, un estadio de fútbol en Wolverhampton, Inglaterra. El actor se encontraba en Inglaterra rodando la última temporada de "Loki", que actualmente está siendo emitida.

El fiscal dice que el informe de Londres incluye registros médicos e información sobre el tratamiento de una mujer relacionada con el presunto incidente.

Como informamos, Jonathan fue detenido en marzo por los delitos menores de asalto, acoso agravado, intento de asalto y acoso después de que supuestamente abofeteara a su ex novia, Grace Jabbari.

Él ha negado las acusaciones en repetidas ocasiones y es probable que Jabbari, que es de Londres, sea acusada de asalto después de que Majors presentara una contrademanda contra ella en junio.

Dennis Rodman Jordan, Pippen Will Settle Beef ... 'They're Gonna Work It Out'

SQUASHING THE BEEF
SplashNews.com

Scottie Pippen hates Michael Jordan's guts right now, but not all hope is lost for the legendary Bulls duo's friendship ... so says their former teammate, Dennis Rodman, who believes the two will eventually bury the hatchet.

It's no secret -- Pippen was pissed over the 'Last Dance' documentary that dropped back in 2020 ... claiming the Jordan-produced project glossed over his teammates' contributions to the Bulls dynasty and focused too much on #23.

Pippen has gone out of his way to throw verbal jabs at Jordan ever since ... calling him a "horrible player" before Scottie joined the team in 1987 and declaring LeBron James the G.O.A.T. in his eyes.

Rodman says the beef between the two is nothing like their dynamic during their playing days ... as he never saw them feuding during his time on the Bulls in the '90s.

"No, I never saw that before," Rodman claims. "I never saw them fight. Even after the season, I never saw that. They were always hanging out together, playing golf together, traveling together."

Things are totally different now, but the Worm seems to think the friendship is still salvageable.

"It's just a lot of things that's happened over the last couple of years. So, I think Scottie's a little bitter and Michael's more laid back and say, 'Okay, like whatever,' but they're gonna work it out."

Scottie and MJ's feud has taken an interesting turn recently as well ... with Pippen's ex-wife dating Jordan's son, Marcus.

As we previously reported, Michael said he didn't approve of the relationship back in July ... but Marcus later claimed his pops was joking.

Here's hoping the two guys can sit down and squash the beef for good.

Hollywood a Hamás ¡¡¡Liberen a todos los rehenes!!! Tráelos a casa, Biden

Toneladas de estrellas de Hollywood se están uniendo para presionar a Hamas para liberar a todos los rehenes tomados por el grupo terrorista en Gaza, y le están pidiendo al presidente Biden que ayude a que esto suceda.

Tiffany Haddish, Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, Chris Rock y Gwyneth Paltrow son solo algunos de los grandes nombres que han firmado una carta abierta a Biden, en la que piden que Hamás libere a todos los prisioneros.

La carta abierta forma parte de una nueva campaña de Hollywood, liderada por celebridades y ejecutivos judíos, llamada #NoHostageLeftBehind.

El número de ejecutivos que se ha unido a la campaña es realmente extraordinario y está claro que tiene buenas intenciones, pero lo que falta es cómo ella hará posible que los rehenes vuelvan casa... no es que esperemos que los famosos resuelvan eso.

Parece que Hollywood busca que la Casa Blanca que le dé una mano aquí. En la carta, las celebridades agradecen el liderazgo de Biden por traer a casa a dos rehenes estadounidenses el viernes, aunque dicen que su "alivio se ve atenuado por su abrumadora preocupación por las 220 personas inocentes, entre ellas 30 niños, que permanecen cautivos de los terroristas, amenazados de tortura y muerte".

Hamás también liberó a dos rehenes israelíes el lunes, pero sus cónyuges aún permanecen en cautiverio.

La carta concluye: "Todos queremos lo mismo: libertad para que israelíes y palestinos vivan uno al lado del otro en paz. Libertad de la violencia brutal propagada por Hamás. Y lo más urgente en este momento, la libertad de los rehenes. Instamos a todos a no descansar hasta que todos sean liberados".

Hollywood To Hamas Release All Hostages!!! Bring Them Home, Biden

Tons of Hollywood stars are banding together to pressure Hamas to release all hostages taken by the terrorist group in Gaza ... and they're asking President Biden to help make it happen.

Tiffany Haddish, Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, Chris Rock, and Gwyneth Paltrow are among the big names who signed an open letter to Biden, which calls on Hamas to set all prisoners free.

The open letter is part of a new campaign out of Hollywood, led by Jewish celebs and executives, called #NoHostageLeftBehind.

It's a truly extraordinary number of Hollywood honchos who have signed on, and it's clearly well-intentioned ... but what's clearly lacking is how the letter brings Hamas hostages home ... not that we're expecting celebs to figure that out.

HOLLYWOOD ADDRESSES HAMAS
TMZ.com

Seems Hollywood is looking to the White House for a hand here ... the letter also thanks Biden for his leadership in bringing home two American hostages Friday ... though the celebs say their "relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people, including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death."

Hamas also released two Israeli hostages on Monday, but their spouses still remain in captivity.

The letter concludes ... "We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace. Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this moment, freedom for the hostages. We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released."

Celebrity Halloween Costumes Who'd You Rather?!

Hollywood will have you seeing double when it comes to their Halloween costumes, but don't lose your focus when it comes to these festive photos ... take in these costume treats and vote for who'd you, rather?!

Zombie brides have always been a go-to costume choice, and Lele Pons and Kim Loaiza have never looked better in white, but which one would you rather walk down the aisle with?

Paris Hilton has hit the streets every year during spooky season and has spun up "Alice And Wonderland", Sexy Furby, and Burlesque Bunny, but which one has you saying, "That's Hot!?"

And, Noah Beck's looks always come to the rescue, while David Beckham remains fatherly, brave, and straight-up zaddy ... But which superhero is more incredible?

Jamie Lee Curtis 'Halloween' House Finds Buyer ... Sells in Time For Halloween!

The iconic home from "Halloween" where Jamie Lee Curtis' character once lived has a new owner ... making a killing in the sale just in time for the pinnacle night of spooky season.

The South Pasadena, CA home that served as a filming location for the 1978 horror flick has officially sold for $1.68 million -- it hit the market last month for $1.8M but hey, still not bad for a place with such a gory pedigree!

TMZ broke the story, the house where teenage Laurie Strode sat out front holding a pumpkin in the film has been turned into a 3-unit property, with the potential for the garage space to be converted into a 4th spot as an ADU (accessory dwelling unit).

The first unit is a large 1-bedroom suite with a large porch, the second has 3 beds and 1 bath, and the third is a 1-bed, 1-bath. In other words, the buyer's gonna be able to make some great rental income with the space.

The Strode home had been in the real owner's family their grandparents lived there -- building the second structure over the garage back in 1948.

Heidi Babcock and Andrea Marcum-Valentine of eXp Realty of Los Angeles held the listing.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS CASA DE "HALLOWEEN" ENCUENTRA COMPRADOR ¡Se vende a tiempo para las fiestas!

La icónica casa de "Halloween", donde el personaje de Jamie Lee Curtis vivió una vez ha encontrado un nuevo propietario, justo a tiempo para las fiestas.

¡El sur de Pasadena, California, casa que sirvió como lugar de rodaje de la película de terror de 1978 se ha vendido oficialmente por $1.68 millones de dólares. Llegó al mercado el mes pasado por $1.8 millones, pero bueno, no está mal para un lugar con una (falsa) historia sangrienta.

TMZ publicó la historia, la casa donde la adolescente Laurie Strode se enfrentó al mal, se convirtió en una propiedad de tres unidades, con el potencial para el espacio de garaje para ser convertido en un cuarto.

La primera unidad es una gran suite de un dormitorio, el segundo tiene tres camas y un baño, y el tercero es un 1/cama, 1/baño. En otras palabras, el comprador va a ser capaz de hacer algunos grandes ingresos de alquiler con el espacio.

La casa Strode ha estado en la familia del propietario real desde los abuelos de los vendedores vivían allí. La construcción de la segunda estructura sobre el garaje en 1948.

Heidi Babcock y Andrea Marcum-Valentine de eXp Realty de Los Ángeles celebraron por la casa. Atención al comprador: cuidado con el tipo de la máscara y el cuchillo.

LIL WAYNE Lo Siento Museo de Cera... ¡Lo intentaste Y FALLASTE!

102323_lil_wayne_kal
lil wax?

Lil Wayne está de acuerdo con la gente, la figura de cera que intentaron hacer a su semejanza no se parece mucho que digamos al rapero.

Una imagen de una estatua de Weezy F. Baby del Museo de Cera de Hollywood en Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, se volvió viral el lunes y las bromas al respecto no se hicieron esperar.

Acertaron con los tatuajes de Wayne, pero realmente no pudieron con su cara. Muchos pensaron que se parecía más a Toosii con rastas que al jefe de Young Money.

"Lo siento, museo de cera, pero esa mierda no soy yo. Lo intentaron y  les agradezco el esfuerzo", escribió Wayne a los conservadores en Tuiter.

No solo Wayne... tambien hubo mucha conversación respecto a la estatua de aspecto extraño de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a principios de esta semana.

La leyenda de Hollywood/WWE incluso le ofreció al museo, este en concreto situado en París, a ayudar personalmente a arreglar la corrección.

No se sabe si Wayne está dispuesto a hacer lo mismo, pero es mejor dejarle estas cosas a los profesionales del Madame Tussauds.

Lil Wayne Sorry Wax Museum, You Tried AND FAILED!!!

102323_lil_wayne_kal
WEIRD WAX

Lil Wayne agrees with the masses ... a wax figure with his likeness did a TERRIBLE job capturing his details.

An image of a Weezy F. Baby statue from the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN began to explode across social media Monday ... with many recognizing the figure intended to resemble Wayne, it was close but no cigar.

The figurine nailed the details of Wayne's tattoos but couldn't really nail his face. Many thought it looked more like Toosii with dreads than the Young Money boss.

"Sorry wax museum but dat shit ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort," Wayne wrote to the curators on Twitter.

Social media users were far less forgiving than Wayne -- equally merciless as the dragging they gave the weird-looking statue of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson earlier this week.

The Hollywood/WWE legend even offered to the museum, this particular one being located in Paris, personal hands-on help to fix the correction.

No telling if Wayne is down to do the same ... but these things are probably best left to the pros at Madame Tussauds at this point.

JENNIFER LOPEZ VENDE CASA DE BEL-AIR POR 34 MILLONES DE DÓLARES Última casa en solitario pre-Affleck

Jennifer López finalmente ha dejado su apartamento de soltera en California, cortando oficialmente los lazos con la última parte de su vida de soltera antes de casarse con Ben Affleck el año pasado.

Fuentes de bienes raíces le dicen a TMZ que J Lo recientemente vendió su mansión de Bel-Air por la suma de 34 millones de dólares. Ella hizo un buen negocio si tenemos en cuenta que la compró en 2016 por alrededor de 28 millones.

En todo caso no es la suma que ella hubiera querido, el precio de este lugar a principios de año fue de $42.5 millones de dólares, por lo que tuvo que conformarse un poco para deshacerse de él.

Aun así, nos dicen que la venta fue un récord para la zona así que todavía hay razones para celebrar.

La finca cuenta con una enorme casa principal, incluyendo nueve dormitorios, trece baños, una piscina infinita, sala de proyección de 30 asientos, un gimnasio, una casa de huéspedes, un anfiteatro extra de 100 asientos y mucho más.

Recordemos que Ben también se deshizo de su casa, justo cuando se casó con Jen.

Jen y Ben han abandonado sus respectivas propiedades individuales que poseían antes de casarse luego de comprado una enorme mansión en Beverly Hills que refleja su riqueza colectiva... la increíble suma de 60 millones de dólares.

El agente que tenía el listado de la casa en solitario de Jen era Brett Lawyer de Carolwood Estates.

Jennifer Lopez Sells Bel-Air House for $34 Million ... Last Solo Home Pre-Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has finally unloaded her bachelorette pad in Cali -- officially cutting ties with the last part of her single life -- before marrying Ben Affleck last year.

Real estate sources tell TMZ, J Lo recently sold her Bel-Air mansion for a cool $34 million -- this after first listing it back in February. She made a nice profit, especially when you consider she first bought it in 2016 for about $28 mil.

Of course, it's not nearly as much as she would've liked -- the price tag on this place earlier in the year was $42.5 mil, so she had to take a bit off the top to get rid of it.

Still, we're told the sale was a record for the area -- so there's still reason to celebrate.

The estate features a huge main house ... including 9 bedrooms, 13 baths, an infinity pool, 30-seat screening room, a gym, a guest house, an extra 100-seat amphitheater and more.

Remember, Ben also got rid of his own spot, right around the same time he married Jen.

Jen and Ben have moved on up from their respective individual properties they owned before getting hitched -- having purchased a massive mansion in Bev Hills that reflects their collective wealth ... a whopping $60 million.

The agent who held the listing on Jen's solo home was Brett Lawyer from Carolwood Estates.

DWAYNE 'THE ROCK' JOHNSON Está trabajando con el Museo de Cera de París Luego de que los trolls cuestionaran su figura

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson se está poniendo a trabajar en su nueva figura de cera, la misma que la gente asegura que no se parece en nada a él, y para eso se ha asociado con el equipo del museo de cera para hacer algunos cambios serios.

El actor respondió al ruido sobre su nueva figura el domingo, riéndose de lo ocurrido mientras le decía a sus fans que su equipo se iba a contactar con sus "amigos del Museo Grévin, en París, Francia" para hacer los cambios.

Obviamente, los usuarios de Internet no fueron los únicos en pensar que había diferencias entre la figura y la persona real. El mismo Johnson agregó que trabajará con el museo para arreglar "detalles importantes y mejoras - empezando por su color de piel 🤣".

Un portavoz del Museo Grévin le dice a TMZ que efectivamente están trabajando con Dwayne para corregir el error, añadiendo que van a "remediarlo lo más rápido posible y que le van a enviar nuevas fotos una vez que esté completado."

El portavoz del museo nos dice que la figura será arreglada durante la noche, por lo que permanecerá en exhibición por el momento. Asegura que su equipo no haya la hora de que Dwayne viaje a París para celebrar el nuevo aspecto de la figura con un poco de champán, ¡un movimiento con clase, Grévin!

Como ya informamos, los fans han estado comentando todos los defectos de la estatua de cera, desde el traje de padre que lleva hasta su tono de piel. ¡Algunos incluso pensaban que se parecía más a Vin Diesel!

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Working With Paris Wax Museum ... After Internet Trolls Questionable New Figure

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is getting to work on his new wax figure that people said looks nothin' like him ... by teaming up with the wax museum to make some serious changes.

The actor responded to the noise about his new figure on Sunday -- having a good laugh while telling his fans he's going to have his team reach out to "our friends at Grévin Museum, in Paris France" to make the changes.

Obviously, folks online weren't alone in thinking there were differences between the figure and the man himself ... he added he'll work with the museum to fix "important details and improvements -- starting with my skin color 🤣."

A spokesperson for the Grévin Museum tells TMZ they indeed are working with Dwayne to right the wrong ... adding they'll "remedy it as quickly as possible and send him new photos once completed."

The museum's spokesperson tells us the figure will be fixed during the night, so it'll stay on display for the time being ... noting their team can't wait for Dwayne to come to Paris to celebrate the new look with some champagne -- classy move, Grévin!

As we reported, fans have been chiming in with everything wrong with the wax statue -- from the dad outfit it's wearing to its light skin tone ... some even thought it looked more like Vin Diesel!

Ariana Grande Winin' & Dinin' w/ SpongeBob BF ... Date Night Full of PDA

Ariana Grande's marriage to Dalton Gomez is over and done with -- and now, she seems a bit more willing to step out with her Broadway boyfriend ... including a date night in NYC!

The singer hit the town Saturday night with Ethan Slater -- who stars opposite her in the upcoming 'Wicked' movie ... and whose big claim to fame thus far is playing the famed SpongeBob SquarePants live on stage (the theatre version, not from the TV show).

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ the two love birds appeared to be having a bite -- or drinks, more like -- at the MO Lounge within the luxurious Mandarin Oriental hotel in the heart of Manhattan.

As you can see in these photos we obtained ... they were off in the corner with their own private table, with their backs turned to just about everybody else ... and enjoying each other's company. And yes, we're told they were super flirty and touchy-feely.

Our sources tell us Ariana was actually the one who showed more affection here. Apparently, she kept getting up from where she was first sitting (across from ES) to come be directly by his side -- where she whispered sweet-nothings into his ear, and planted some smooches.

We're told they certainly seemed to be having a good old boozy time ... and sure, you can see they had at least a glass of wine each. In any case, our sources tell us they were there for a while ... for almost upwards of 2 hours, they were just perched there chatting.

DISNEY DATE NIGHT
TMZ.com

It's interesting we're seeing them not trying to hide as much as they were the last time they were hanging out in public -- remember, they did a Disneyworld trip out in FL last month.

That was before she and Dalton were officially single in the eyes of the law -- something that wrapped up a few weeks ago ... when she and her ex settled their divorce, without much drama. In the wake of them closing that book ... DG himself seems to have moved on.

Looks like everyone's turning the page.
