JOHN CENA NO ESTABA COMPLETAMENTE DESNUDO EN LOS OSCARS Pero casi...

John Cena se desnudó en los Oscar... pero ahora sabemos cuánta piel mostró realmente.

El luchador convertido en actor subió al escenario del Teatro Dolby en Hollywood, California, aparentemente desnudo; sin embargo, hay nuevas fotos que demuestran que estaba usando un tapado color piel, en otras palabras, su trasero estaba cubierto después de todo.

Como se puede ver en las nuevas fotos, John estaba totalmente imperturbable por la mínima vestimenta que tuvo que llevar, mientras sonreía fuera del escenario a la espera de que comenzara su segmento hilarante.

Incluso se le vio pidiendo silencio a algunas personas entre bastidores mientras solo llevaba unas sandalias Birkenstock y un impresionante reloj.

Hay que recordar que John no es ajeno a las actuaciones con poco o nada: es famoso por haber luchado sin camiseta y con pantalones cortos vaqueros durante la mayor parte de su carrera en la WWE.

En cuanto a cómo realizó su cambio rápido en el escenario para presentar la categoría de Mejor Vestuario... el video de arriba muestra a varios asistentes de producción de los Oscar cubriendo a John con telas mientras sonaba el montaje de los nominados.

No cabe duda de que el compromiso valió la pena. La aparición de John ha sido aplaudida como uno de los mejores momentos de la noche.

Otros momentos destacados de los Oscar de este año fue Emma Stone acercándose al micrófono durante la actuación de Ryan Gosling con "I'm Just Ken", el intercambio de palabras entre Jimmy Kimmel y Donald Trump en pleno espectáculo y el reencuentro en el escenario de los coprotagonistas de "Twins", Arnold Schwarzenegger y Danny DeVito.

Cabe preguntarse qué le habrá parecido todo esto a la ex de John, Nikki Garcia, quien también asistió a la alfombra roja de los Oscars.

John Cena Wasn't Completely Naked at Oscars ... But Just About!!!

John Cena stripped down to practically nothing to pull off a streaker bit at the Oscars ... but we now know just how much skin he really showed, and what was actually covered up.

The wrestler-turned-actor took to the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood, Calif. in nothing but nude-colored modesty wear to make it appear like he was really naked at the annual industry event. In other words, his junk/ass was covered up after all, so he wasn't totally naked.

As you can see from the new photos ... John was totally unfazed by the minimal amount he had to wear -- as he smiled offstage while waiting for his hilarious segment to begin.

He was even snapped shushing a few people behind the scenes while rocking only Birkenstock sandals and an impressive timepiece.

Remember, John is no stranger to performing in little to nothing -- he famously wrestled shirtless while rocking only denim jorts throughout most of his WWE career.

As for how he pulled off his onstage quick change to present the Best Costume Design category ... the video above shows several Oscars production assistants draping John in fabric as the nominee montage played.

And the commitment to the bit has certainly paid off -- JC's appearance has been applauded as one of the night's highlights.

Other notable moments at this year's Oscars include Emma Stone ripping her dress during Ryan Gosling's performance of "I'm Just Ken," Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump exchanging words mid-show, and "Twins" costars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito's reuniting onstage.

Ya gotta wonder how John's ex, Nikki Garcia, felt about the bit -- as she was also in attendance working the Oscars red carpet.

LAS ESTRELLAS APARECEN EN LAS FIESTAS POSTERIORES A LOS OSCAR

Los Oscar han terminado y todas las estrellas se han ido de fiesta por la ciudad, y el lugar de moda ha sido la fiesta de Vanity Fair, en la que se ha reunido todo el mundo.

La lista A de Hollywood acudió a la reunión anual de la revista después de los Oscar, lo cual se ha convertido en algo habitual durante la temporada de premios, y donde casi todo el mundo que estuvo en la ciudad pasó para tomarse fotos y codearse con otras celebridades después del espectáculo.

Por supuesto, no se puede culpar a nadie por querer asistir a esta fiesta de los Oscar: la alfombra roja y las letras gigantes son llamativas y todo el mundo va vestido de punta en blanco.

Las fotos de la ceremonia eran dignas de ver, pero una vez dentro, también hubo mucho que ver... con muchas estrellas cruzándose e intercambiando sonrisas. De hecho, los propios ganadores de los Oscar estaban presentes, al igual que los finalistas.

Algunas de las celebridades presentes fueron: Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Emily Blunt y John Krasinski, Margot Robbie, America Ferrera, Billie Eilish, Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez, Sydney Sweeney, Sofía Vergara, Lenny Kravitz y muchos otros.

A propósito, no fue la única celebración en la ciudad... Beyoncé y Jay-Z dieron otra fiesta en el Chateau Marmont que también estuvo repleta de estrellas. De hecho, es posible que la fiesta fuera doble.

Solo una pequeña muestra de las estrellas que acudieron a la fiesta de Jay y Bey son: los KarJenner, LeBron James, Kelly Rowland, Ciara y Russell Wilson, Chrissy Teigen y John Legend, Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, MGK y Megan Fox, Kerry Washington y muchos más.

Fue sin duda una noche para recordar, especialmente por algunas películas como "Oppenheimer", "Poor Things", "The Zone Of Interest" y un puñado de otras películas que realmente limpiaron y arrasaron.

"Barbie" se fue con las manos relativamente vacías, al igual que "Killers of the Flower Moon", pero eso no quiere decir que la gente no estuviera contenta en la ceremonia... porque lo estuvieron.

Échale un vistazo a todas las fotos que muestran lo que ocurrió entre bastidores. Una noche para recordar y mucho más.

Oscars 2024 Stars Show Up for Glitzy After-Parties ... Vanity Fair Place to Be!!!

The Oscars are over, and the stars all went out with a bang hitting up after-parties around town -- but the biggest hot spot was 100% Vanity Fair's shindig ... where it was a who's-who.

Hollywood's A-list crowd hit up the magazine's annual post-Oscars get-together -- which has become a staple during awards season, and where just about everyone who was in town swung by to have their photos taken and to hobnob with other celebs post-show.

Of course, ya can't blame anyone for wanting to hit up this Oscars bash -- the red carpet and giant lettering is eye-catching, to say the least, and everyone's dressed to the nines.

The pap shots were something to behold, but once people were inside and mingling -- there was a lot to see there as well ... with lots of different stars crossing paths and exchanging smiles. Indeed, Oscar winners themselves were on hand ... as were the runner-ups.

Some of the celebs on hand ... Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, Margot Robbie, America Ferrera, Billie Eilish, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, Sydney Sweeney, Sofía Vergara, Lenny Kravitz and lots of others.

FWIW, that wasn't the only game in town ... Beyoncé and Jay-Z threw another party at the Chateau Marmont -- and that bash was just as star-studded. In fact, there may have been some double dipping here.

Just a smidge of the stars who showed up for Jay and Bey's party -- the KarJenners, LeBron James, Kelly Rowland, Ciara and Russell Wilson, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, MGK and Megan Fox, Kerry Washington and more.

It was certainly a night to remember ... especially for some movies like "Oppenheimer," "Poor Things," "The Zone of Interest" and a handful of other flicks that truly cleaned up and swept.

"Barbie" left relatively empty-handed ... as did "Killers of the Flower Moon." That's not to say people weren't happy at the actual ceremony, though ... 'cause they absolutely were.

Peep all the photos showing the behind-the-scenes. A night to remember and then some!

RYAN GOSLING INTERPRETA "I'M JUST KEN" EN LOS OSCARS... ¡Con la ayuda de Slash!

"I'M JUST KEN"
ABC

Ryan Gosling hizo su gran número musical en los Oscars, subiéndose al escenario delante de todos sus compañeros y cantando la canción estrella de "Barbie", y lo hizo a lo grande.

El actor acaba de terminar de interpretar "I'm Just Ken" durante la emisión del domingo y fue tan épico como todo el mundo esperaba. Ryan se vio totalmente comprometido y remeció los Oscars con su voz y ¡con la compañía de Slash!

En efecto, el rockero del sombrero de copa se unió a Ryan en el escenario para tocar la guitarra en directo, y se lució mientras el actor cantaba la canción favorita de los fans del mayor éxito de taquilla del año pasado.

Ryan incluso se acercó a la primera fila, donde Margot Robbie y Greta Gerwig le ayudaron a cantar la canción. Y sí, estaba completamente vestido de rosa para la ocasión.

Durante un tiempo, no estaba claro si Ryan realmente iba a hacer actuar en los Oscar, pero al final lo hizo y su coprotagonista Margot recientemente le aseguró a todos que estaba ansioso por hacerlo, a pesar de que se mostró un poco tímido durante toda la temporada de premios de este año.

Fue uno de los únicos momentos destacados de "Barbie"de la noche hasta el momento, Billie Eilish acaba de ganar Mejor Canción, para "What Was I Made For", pero las cosas han sido bastante tranquilas para el equipo detrás de la muñeca.

Veremos si "Barbie" termina recibiendo algo de amor a la Mejor Película, o si 1 Oscar es todo.

Ryan Gosling Performs 'I'm Just Ken' at Oscars ... With Assist from Slash!!!

I'M JUST KEN
ABC

Ryan Gosling did his big musical number at the Oscars  -- getting onstage in front of all his peers and belting out the 'Barbie' standout song ... and he did it guns (n' roses) blazing.

The actor just got done performing 'I'm Just Ken' during Sunday's broadcast -- and it was as epic as everyone expected ... with the Ry Guy fully committing to the bit ... and rocking the house with some killer vocals and even better backing musicians, including Slash!

Indeed ... the top hat-rockin' rocker joined Ryan onstage to play some live guitar, and he absolutely shredded as RG belted out the fan fave from the biggest blockbuster last year.

Ryan even came down to the front row -- where he had Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig help him sing the tune. And yes, he was fully decked out in all-pink wardrobe for the ditty.

For a little while, it was unclear whether Ryan was actually gonna do 'IJK' at the Oscars -- but in the end ... he finally signed on, and his costar Margot just recently reassured everyone he was itching to do it ... despite him kinda playing coy throughout this year's award season.

It was one of the only 'Barbie' highlights of the night thus far -- Billie Eilish just won Best Song, for 'What Was I Made For,' but it's been fairly quiet for the doll crew otherwise.

We'll see if 'Barbie' ends up getting some love for Best Picture ... or if 1 Oscar is it.

John Cena Quick Wardrobe Change Surfaces ... After Naked Oscars Moment

031024_john_cena-kal-v2
BEST NOT DRESSED
ABC

John Cena went from ass-naked to looking like a good old-fashioned Greek philosopher in record time at the Oscars -- and the wardrobe change was actually caught on camera.

The wrestler-turned-actor was on hand Sunday for a pretty cringe-worthy bit where he was supposed to run across the stage naked for the Best Costume Design category ... which ended with JC shuffling across the stage with the winner's envelope covering his privates.

The whole gag here was that John was in his birthday suit, and he was there to highlight the best costumes in movies -- something Jimmy Kimmel had to come and help him with.

Once the screen was overtaken with the nominee montage and it flashed back to Jimmy and John onstage -- the WWE star was suddenly in a toga-like getup ... and it happened fast.

As it turns out ... it was something people BTS had to rush out and assist with in a matter of seconds -- which was caught on camera by someone at Vulture. The room went dark at this moment -- which we didn't see in the broadcast -- and John sure looked nude.

Funny enough, he's actually the 2nd "naked" famous buff dude on TV this weekend -- Josh Brolin stripped down as well during his 'SNL' hosting gig, albeit leaving his undies on.

Here's to the hunky old guys showing off what their mama gave them ... cheers.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Oscars Weekend Can't Stop, Won't Stop the Party ... Jenners, Hiltons, Bezos & Usher, Oh My!!!

Hollywood is emptying the tank ... partying almost nonstop before the Oscars begin, and the celebs are often running into the same faces at every stop on the circuit.

Check out the fame parade that went down at a Bev Hills house party on Saturday -- Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were there with their pals Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble ... while Andy Cohen, Rumer Willis, Tracee Ellis Ross, Nicky Hilton and Kathy Hilton also filed into the event.

Flip through the galleries, 'cause there were way more partygoers on hand than we can mention.

Later on, some of those same people made costume changes and headed to the Beverly Hills Hotel for Chanel's pre-Oscars event.

Newlyweds Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea rubbed elbows with the likes of Best Supporting Actor nominee Robert De Niro, Lily-Rose Depp and Kristen Stewart, Willem Dafoe, Sánchezos (Lauren & Jeff) again and Best Supporting Actress nominee America Ferrera.

And, after all that ... the party train was far from done.

Next stop ... the famed Chateau Marmont where Willem made another appearance on Saturday night, and other guests included "Foodgod" Jonathan Cheban, Lil Nas X, Alessandra Ambrosio, Billy Zane, Abigail Spencer and Jodie Turner-Smith.

If this all sounds exhausting it's only because it probably is -- it's the show (your face) part of showbiz, and it's a big part of what makes Hollywood go 'round.

Celebs won't even get to cross the finish line of this hobnobbing marathon when the Oscars ceremony ends -- 'cause then the afterparty fun begins!

VANESSA HUDGENS ¡MUESTRA SU PANCITA EN LOS OSCAR!

Vanessa Hudgens está embarazada y se lo hizo saber al mundo de la manera más grande posible, apareciendo en los Oscar con una gran barriguita de embarazada a cuestas.

La actriz es una de las anfitrionas en la alfombra roja el domingo en el Teatro Dolby de Hollywood, donde la ceremonia se llevará a cabo, y antes de que todas las estrellas llegaran a acaparar la atención, Vanessa se lució frente a los fotógrafos.

Vanessa dejó ver orgullosamente que está esperando un hijo, y es la primera vez que esto se hace público.

Por supuesto, esto es una gran noticia, ya que sería el primer hijo de Vanessa, y lo mismo para su marido, Cole Tucker. Recordemos que se casaron hace unos meses en México, y ahora van a tener un hijo juntos en un tiempo récord. No hay nada como el presente, ¿verdad?

Cole y Vanessa han estado juntos como pareja desde 2020 -después de que ella rompió con su novio de mucho tiempo, Austin Butler- con quien había estado durante muchos años.

Vanessa y Cole eran dos gotas de agua, ella dijo que sabía que él era el indicado de inmediato.

Mientras que ella está claramente feliz con su marido, el tema de su relación con Austin ha surgido bastante últimamente, especialmente con él siendo lanzado al estrellato a través de todas estas películas que ha estado en el último par de años, incluyendo "Elvis".

Vanessa acaba de decir la semana pasada que está feliz de que su ruptura con Austin la llevara a Cole, y Austin, mientras tanto, ha dicho que valoraba su tiempo con Vanessa y que todavía la respetaba y se preocupaba por ella.

Austin no tiene previsto estar en la ceremonia de los Oscars de hoy, aunque ha asistido a fiestas relacionadas con los Oscars este fin de semana.

Así que podría aparecer esta noche. Es imposible no preguntarse como se sentirá al respecto.

En fin... ¡¡¡felicidades!!!

Jimmy Kimmel Pokes Fun at SAG, Union Strikes ... During Oscars Monologue

031024_oscars_monologue-kal-V2
strike one, strike two ...
ABC

Jimmy Kimmel took some light-hearted shots during his opening Oscars monologue -- but the highlight was probably his reflection on the strikes last year ... for a variety of reasons.

The recurring host -- who was back for yet another gig this year -- kicked things off Sunday by actually running a little bit late ... but once he got going, he was ready to make some jabs and crack some jokes ... most of which landed fairly well with the star-studded crowd.

Jimmy mentioned the fact that Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed this year -- chiding the audience who seemed to agree, since a lot of them are voters -- and he even poked fun at Robert Downey Jr. at one point ... referencing his previous drug use.

Jimmy referenced an old dog-themed movie RDJ was in -- and said if he was ever to remake it ... he know the perfect candidate ... highlighting the dog from 'Anatomy of a Fall.'

The guy hopscotched around in his monologue, but eventually landed on the SAG and WGA strikes -- which consumed much of entertainment in 2023 ... and which created a lengthy work stoppage in Hollywood as labor union honchos and studio execs negotiated new deals.

Jimmy sounded sincere in shouting out everyone who remained on picket lines through that difficult period -- but, of course, he eventually gave kudos in a funny, backhanded way.

Check it out ... Jimmy says the strikes taught everyone a good lesson about what they were made of -- namely, a lot of guts ... even though he said no one would ever be able to pick up a shovel. Jimmy also used a lot of colorful descriptors in patting everyone on the back.

You gotta see it to understand what we mean ... it was both graceful, and pretty insulting.

Jimmy ended on a high note, though, when he brought out a bunch of crew members who work behind the scenes ... saying he appreciated their support through the strikes. Looks like everyone else felt the same way -- 'cause all the production people got a standing O.

Pretty solid monologue all in all, and nothing too controversial either. We're off and runnin'!

'Harry Potter' Star Adult Super Fans Gotta Grow TF Up ... I Kinda Worry About Y'all!!!

031024_miriam_margolyes_kal
TIME TO GROW UP!!!
TVNZ 1

Miriam Margolyes says people who are still diehard 'Harry Potter' fans as fully functioning adults worry her a bit -- and she's got a clear message for them ... grow the hell up!

The actress -- who played Professor Pomona Sprout on two 'HP' films back when those were still a thing -- did a recent interview with New Zealand's 1 News, where she was plugging a new project of hers ... and she was quite candid on how she feels about this topic.

Check it out ... Miriam says people that are still obsessed with the 'Harry Potter' movies -- or, god forbid, the even older books -- concern her ... 'cause they're still acting like lil' kids.

She says she'll still get asked about 'Harry Potter' stuff to this day -- and goes on to say she's startled to hear people are doing whole ass 'HP'-themed events ... including weddings. Miriam jokes that she wonders what the first night of fun would be for 'HP' newlyweds.

As Miriam puts it, 'Harry Potter' is for children, and the adults still clinging to their childhood nostalgia need to get over it. MM hits the point home by definitively saying ... "It's over!"

Yes, it's a bit harsh -- but you can tell Miriam just doesn't understand the years-long fandom.

Something tells us she might have some thoughts on Disney adults too -- who are in their own league of Peter Pan-syndrome. As for Potter-heads, though ... time to break the spell.

Director Alexander Payne Accused of Ripping Off 'Luca' Writer ... For 'Holdovers' Story, Plot

The director of 'The Holdovers' is being accused of ripping off another Hollywood creative, who claims the guy hijacked his own years-old script in what he calls outright plagiarism.

Simon Stephenson -- whose story/writing credits include 'Luca,' 'Paddington 2' and other big hits -- levied a heavy plagiarism allegation against Alexander Payne earlier this year with none other than the WGA ... and his claims are just now coming to light publicly.

According to Variety -- which has reviewed and published emails from this whole ordeal -- Stephenson hit up some WGA honchos to complain that Payne's script/story for 'The Holdovers' was a "brazen" ripoff of a script he wrote back in 2013 called 'Frisco.'

Not only are the plots nearly identical, Stephenson alleges, but he goes on to claim there is "line-by-line" replication ... adding he has proof Payne reviewed his screenplay in years past.

Stephenson wrote in one of his emails to WGA, "I’ve been a working writer for 20 years -- in my native U.K. before I came to the U.S. -- and so I’m very aware that people can often have surprisingly similar ideas and sometimes a few elements can be ‘borrowed,’ etc."

He adds emphatically ... "This just isn’t that situation. The two screenplays are forensically identical and riddled with unique smoking guns throughout."

Stephenson was reportedly told his gripes were not a guild issue, and that he might need to consider a lawsuit to address his concerns -- no word on whether he's done that yet.

As for Payne -- who's not a writer on 'Holdovers,' but who says he heavily supervised the script-writing process -- he's publicly said his flick is loosely inspired by a 1935 French film.

We've reached out to Payne, 'Holdovers' script writer David Hemingson and the production and distribution companies attached to the film (an Oscar darling). So far, no word back.

FIN DE SEMANA DE LOS OSCARS ¡la fiesta no para!

Hollywood está de fiesta, y la cosa está muy animada momentos antes que empiecen los Oscars. Las celebridades se miran las caras y se encuentran entre las miles de fotos.

Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez estuvieron allí con sus amigos Kris Jenner y Corey Gamble, mientras que Andy Cohen, Rumer Willis, Tracee Ellis Ross, Nicky Hilton y Kathy Hilton también asistieron al evento.

Échale un vistazo a las galerías, porque hubo muchos más asistentes de los que pudimos mencionar.

Más tarde, algunas de esas mismas personas hicieron cambios de vestuario y se dirigieron al Hotel Beverly Hills para el evento pre-Oscars de Chanel.

Los recién casados Usher y Jennifer Goicoechea se codearon con personajes de la talla de Robert De Niro -nominado a Mejor Actor de Reparto- Lily-Rose Depp y Kristen Stewart, Willem Dafoe, Sánchezos (Lauren & Jeff) de nuevo y America Ferrera, nominada a Mejor Actriz de Reparto.

Y, después de todo eso, el tren de la fiesta estuvo lejos de terminar.

La siguiente parada fue el famoso Chateau Marmont, donde Willem hizo otra aparición en la noche del sábado, y otros invitados incluyeron Lil Nas X, Alessandra Ambrosio, Billy Zane, Abigail Spencer y Jodie Turner-Smith.

Si todo esto te parece agotador es porque probablemente lo sea: es la parte del mundo del espectáculo en la que hay que dar la cara, y es una gran parte de lo que hace girar a Hollywood.

Los famosos ni siquiera llegarán a cruzar la línea de meta de este maratón de codazos cuando termine la ceremonia de los Oscar, ¡porque entonces empieza la diversión después de la fiesta!

Vanessa Hudgens Preggo with First Child ... Shows Off Baby Bump at Oscars!!!

Vanessa Hudgens is pregnant, and she let the world know in the biggest way possible -- showing up to the Oscars ... with a big ol' baby bump in tow!

The actress is one of the hosts on the red carpet Sunday at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood -- where the ceremony will be going down later today -- and before all the stars arrived to take their own pictures ... Vanessa made sure to steal the spotlight with shots of her own.

She had a very good reason, too ... clearly, Vanessa is expecting a child -- and this is the first time anyone's hearing about it publicly. On its face, it seems she's fairly far along.

Of course, this is major news ... seeing how this would be VH's first child, and ditto for her husband, Cole Tucker. Remember, they just got married a few months ago down in Mexico ... and now, they're having a kid together in record time. No time like the present, right?!

Cole and Vanessa have been together as a couple since 2020 ... after she broke things off with her longtime boyfriend, Austin Butler -- with whom she'd been with for many years.

Vanessa and Cole were two peas in a pod ... she said she knew he was the one right away.

While she's clearly happy with her hubby ... the topic of her relationship with Austin has come up quite a bit lately -- especially with him being launched into superstardom through all these movies he's been in the past couple years, including 'Elvis.'

Vanessa just said last week she's happy her split with Austin led her to Cole -- and Austin, meanwhile, has said he valued his time with Vanessa ... and still respected/cared about her.

Austin himself is not scheduled to be at today's Oscars ceremony -- although, he has been out and about for Oscars-related parties this weekend.

So, he might be around somewhere later tonight as well. Ya gotta wonder how he might feel about this big development.

Anyhoo ... congrats!!!

Pro-Palestine Protest Overtakes Streets of L.A. ... Ahead of Oscars Ceremony

MARCHING TOWARDS THE OSCARS
TMZ.com

As Hollywood's rich and famous trickle in for the Oscars this weekend -- a massive protest is going down just a stone's throw away ... with folks hitting the streets to speak on Palestine.

A huge demonstration is unfolding about a mile away from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood Sunday -- at none other than the Dome Entertainment Centre, in fact -- where hundreds of people gathered with signage, megaphones and Palestinian flags ... while up in arms.

Of course, this is a pro-Palestine protest -- one that's been organized by groups like Writers Against the War on Gaza LA, Film Workers for Palestine, SAG-AFTRA Members for Ceasefire and others ... with their main message being, "No awards during a genocide!"

Another tagline being used for this protest ... "While You're Watching Bombs Are Dropping."

It goes without saying ... these folks are protesting against the ongoing war in the Middle East -- this as Gaza continues to be under siege as Israel seeks to eradicate Hamas.

As you can see ... tensions were high here, as people chanted and made their voices heard ahead of the biggest night in Hollywood. The Oscars are just about an hour from starting.

POLICE PRESENCE
TMZ.com

Unfortunately for these demonstrators, they won't be getting much closer to the actual Oscars venue itself -- the Dolby Theater is blocked off by cops, who've set a wide perimeter ... and who are standing guard with their riot gear ready to go in case things escalate.

Meanwhile ... the stars are getting ready for the big show -- lots of red-carpet arrivals are happening right now ... and they don't seem too worried about the ruckus up the block.

We'll see how long the protesters stay out there ... and if they're able to be disruptors today.

MILLIE BOBBY BROWN DEFIENDE SU CAMBIO CONSTANTE DE ACENTO... "Refleja mi entorno"

031024_millie_bobby_brown_kal
acusaciones de fingir su acento

Millie Bobby Brown ha estado cambiando de acento últimamente, y en medio de algunas críticas, le dicie a los haters que se vayan a la mierda. La actriz sostiene que es camaleónica en cuanto a su forma de hablar.

La estrella de "Stranger Things" abordó recientemente esta cuestión cuando tuvo una conversación con el TikToker Max Balegde, mientras estaba promocionando su nueva película de Netflix, "Damsel", y donde se le preguntó directamente sobre su acento cambiando constantemente, aunque, en términos muy aduladores.

Max insiste en el tema, pero lo hace poniendose de parte de Millie. Dice que entiende perfectamente la idea de que el acento de una persona cambie dependiendo de dónde se encuentre.

Ese es el razonamiento que muchos de sus fans y simpatizantes han ofrecido en defensa de Millie después de que se hiciera viral una entrevista que le concedió a Jimmy Fallon hace casi dos semanas... en la que sonaba como una norteamericana a pesar de haber saltado a la fama con su característico acento británico.

Millie tomó las riendas de la conversación aquí y explicó por qué su acento cambia tan fácilmente -por cierto, durante esta conversación con Max, sonaba con su acento habitual casi exageradamente- básicamente dijo sí... mi acento cambia con mi entorno.

Dice que de niña se crió en distintos lugares, tanto al otro lado del charco como aquí en Estados Unidos, y ahora vive en Nueva York con su prometido, Jake Bongiovi... así que dice que últimamente ha adoptado más el acento americano.

Eso está muy bien, pero Millie también admite que cambia su acento dependiendo de con quién esté hablando, al parecer por cortesía y para encajar mejor. Lo cual es... interesante.

Algunos la han acusado de ser un poco falsa con todos los cambios de acento, pero ella está muy clara en su postura y los manda a todos a preocuparse por otras cosas. A fin de cuentas, tiene razón. 🤷🏽‍♂️
