Kanye West's day one advisor Consequence is demanding an apology ... but not for reasons you'd suspect.

On Thursday, Kanye released his $200 Yeezy Pods footwear and Cons showed his solidarity by posting the slipper sneakers but had to give his longtime friend a piece of his mind ... Cons is accusing Ye of throwing him and the team under the bus!!!

According to Cons, Kanye put him and the rest of the Ye's backers ... guys like Don C, John Monopoly, GLC ... in an awkward position when Ye claimed he was alone in his fight against the supposed Jewish powers that be.

Remember, Kanye flipped out during a Vegas listening session for his "Vultures" album a couple weeks back ... Hitler, Jesus Christ and Donald Trump were all swirled into a lengthy word vomit rant.

Cons' face must be stinging, because he's calling his omission a slap in the face!!!

What's more, Cons notes he's been riding with Kanye through thick and thin since 2002 and thinks if Ye can apologize to the Jewish people he offended, then he can muster up an apology to him ... in English!!!

The last time we spoke to Cons, he was doing damage control for Ye's ex-publicist who got herself indicted in Trump's election scandal.

Imagine Dragons está ayudando a la familia de un chico ucraniano de 15 años a reconstruir su casa, después de que el lugar fuera destruido por la guerra aún en curso en su país.

Sashko es el adolescente de Ucrania que aparece en el video musical de la canción "Crushed". El video y la canción se convirtieron en un gran éxito en gran parte debido a la historia de Sashko, que lo perdió todo a manos de las fuerzas rusas.

El hogar del niño fue completamente destruido durante la primavera de 2022. Poco después, el director de fotografía de Imagine Dragons, Ty Arnold, conoció a Sashko durante un viaje a Ucrania, se sintió conmovido por su historia y quiso dar a conocer al mundo los horrores que estaba enfrentando.

El video musical provocó donaciones masivas a UNITED24, una plataforma lanzada por el Presidente Zelensky para recoger donaciones para los ucranianos, con la que Imagine Dragons se asoció.

UNITED24 utilizó los fondos para pagar toda la restauración de la casa de Sashko y nos dicen que Ty entregó las llaves de la casa la semana pasada a Sashko y su madre.

Imagine Dragons is helping a 15-year-old Ukrainian boy's family get their home back together .... after the place was destroyed during the ongoing war in his country.

Sashko is the teenager from Ukraine who was featured in the music video for the band's song, "Crushed" ... the video and song became a huge hit in large part due to Sashko's story about losing everything at the hands of Russian forces.

The boy's home was completely obliterated in 2022. Shortly after the Imagine Dragons' Director of Photography Ty Arnold met Sashko during a trip to Ukraine and was moved by Sashko's story ... and wanted to let the world know about the horrors Sashko faced.

The music video sparked massive donations to UNITED24 -- a platform launched by President Zelensky to collect donations for Ukrainian's -- because Imagine Dragons teamed up with the organization.

Thanks to the Imagine Dragons video, UNITED24 found a private donor to rebuild Sashko's house.

UNITED24 used the funds to pay for the entire restoration of Sashko's house ... and we're told Ty handed over the keys to the rebuilt home last week to Sashko and his mother.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard ya no está tras las rejas y TMZ tiene el primer vistazo a su recogida de la cárcel. Se puede ver su marido con un equipo de cámaras documentando todos sus movimientos.

La famosa delincuente fue puesta en libertad condicional el jueves temprano, y cuando salió del Centro Correccional en Chillicothe, fue recibida por su marido, Ryan Scott Anderson.

Gypsy quería mantener a los medios de comunicación alejados de la prisión y se marchó en un carro, pero no rehúye a la cámara de Ryan. Después de todo, ella es el tema de un próximo documental de Lifetime.

Ryan, un profesor de Louisiana que se casó con Gypsy en la cárcel el año pasado, capturó a su esposa gozando de su libertad luego de pasar siete años tras rejas y luego él y el fotógrafo volvieron al hotel unas horas más tarde, sin Gypsy.

Como te dijimos por primera vez, la liberación de Gypsy era supersecreta, a los medios de comunicación y a los fans no se les permitió en las instalaciones y el estacionamiento estaba fuera de los límites también.

Sin embargo, Ryan y su fotógrafo tenían el ticket de oro, su carro se destacó en el estacionamiento vacío, y no solo por la matrícula personalizada "Hitman", un homenaje al famoso luchador de la WWE.

La vuelta a casa de Gypsy ha sido muy esperada, recordemos fue condenada a una década entre rejas en 2016 al ser declarada culpable del asesinato de su madre, Dee Dee Blanchard, quien fue acusada de obligar a Gypsy a fingir ser discapacitada durante años.

El entonces novio de Gypsy, Nick Godejohn, admitió haber asesinado a Dee Dee en 2015 para ayudar a Gypsy a escapar de las garras de su madre y todavía está cumpliendo cadena perpetua.

Como hemos informado, a Gypsy se concedió la libertad condicional en septiembre y su liberación del jueves llega tres años antes de su fecha de liberación original.

El caso de Gypsy capturó la atención de la nación y dio lugar a un documentalnb de HBO y una serie de Hulu, aunque su historia será contada ahora en sus propias palabras gracias al nuevo documental de tres partes, "Las confesiones de prisión de Gypsy Rose Blanchard". Por eso el equipo de cámara en esta oportunidad.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is no longer behind bars and TMZ has the first look at her prison pickup ... featuring her husband and a camera crew documenting her every move.

The famous felon was freed on parole early Thursday, and when she departed Chillicothe Correctional Center in Chillicothe, MO she was greeted by a familiar face ... her hubby, Ryan Scott Anderson.

Gypsy wanted to keep media away from the prison, and she left in a car ... but she's not shying away from Ryan's camera guy. After all, she's the subject of an upcoming Lifetime doc.

Ryan, a teacher from Louisiana who married Gypsy in prison last year, captured his wife's first taste of freedom after her 7 years behind bars ... and then he and the photog went back to their hotel a few hours later, without Gypsy.

As we first told you, Gypsy's release was super secretive ... media and fans weren't allowed on the premises, and the parking lot was off limits too.

Ryan and his photog had the golden ticket though ... his car stood out in the empty parking lot, and not just because of the personalized 'Hitman' license plate -- a tribute to the famous WWE wrestler.

Gypsy's homecoming has been eagerly anticipated ... remember, she was was sentenced to a decade behind bars back in 2016 being convicted in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard -- who was accused of forcing Gypsy to pretend to be disabled for years.

Gypsy's then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, admitted to murdering Dee Dee in 2015 to help GRB escape her mother's clutches -- and he's still serving a life sentence.

As we reported ... Gypsy was granted parole in September, and her release on Thursday comes 3 years before her original release date.

Gypsy's case captured the nation's attention and spawned an HBO doc and a Hulu series ... though her story will now be told in her own words thanks to the new 3-part doc, "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard." Hence the camera crew here.

Big Hit is downplaying the notion he's actively gangbanging after his viral freestyle said quite the opposite ... but he still wants fans to tackle life with the same tough-nosed approach!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Hit-Boy's father outside L.A. Fitness in Hollywood on Wednesday where he elaborated on his recent bangfest on wax.

Remember ... BH recently went nutty over Mobb Deep's "Get Away" instrumental, rhyming "bang" with every other word -- and he tells us the term is simply a macho expression that no longer motivates beef between Crips or Bloods ... at least in his eyes.

Bang on your job, bang on the schoolbooks, bang bang like Pops from "Boomerang" ... whatever you choose, do it to standard is Big Hit's motto here.

BH wasted no time dropping his debut "The Truth Is In My Eyes" -- where he managed to snag a Snoop Dogg feature -- and some friendly advice on how to stay jail-free.

The OG was released from prison this summer after serving a 9-year bid for gun possession, but he's scoffing at the folks who are telling him he's too old for this behavior.

Kanye West may just have launched the latest revolution in women's fashion ... his newly released Yeezy pods are piquing the interest of women who don't want to stand up in high heels all night!!!

On Thursday, Kanye officially dropped his sock-shoe hybrid on his official Yeezy.com website ... where they're going for $200 and appear to fold up for packing similar to a beach chair.

Ye has been Eurostepping in the pods for months alongside his wife Bianca Censori and the nifty kicks mark his first crack at footwear since parting ways with Adidas earlier this year ... leaving them with billions in unsold products.

Although the Yeezy Pods haven't attracted the same attention with sneakerheads as his classic Yeezy Boosts, they're currently spiking the interest of women hoping to not have to crab walk leaving the club after standing in high heels for hours!!!

Ye's ready to resume his career after delivering his Hebrew-written apology to Jewish people for his infamous antisemitic outbursts.

Jennifer López subió la temperatura de la isla San Bartolomé, paseando por la playa y su arena blanca en un pequeñísimo bikini blanco.

La multi talentosa estrella desfiló su tonificado cuerpo, mientras disfrutraba de algunos rayos de sol, completando su look de vacaciones con un gran sombrero de paja, gafas de sol y una toalla de color rosa envuelta alrededor de sus caderas.

Con los auriculares conectados, J Lo estaba en modo descanso y vacaciones completamente, aprovechando al máximo su escapada festiva hacia el Caribe después de un año muy ocupado.

Las cosas se pondrán de nuevo en marcha en el Año Nuevo para Jen, especialmente con el lanzamiento en febrero de su nuevo documental, "This Is Me ... Now".

La película se centrará en su reavivado romance con Ben Affleck y su boda de 2022, así que parece que la pareja comenzará su camino promocional pronto.

Jennifer Lopez brought some serious heat to St. Barts ... strolling down the sandy white beach in a teeny white bikini top.

The multi-talented star paraded her toned bod while catching some rays ... completing the vacation look in a large straw hat, shades, and a pink towel wrapped around her hips.

With headphones plugged in, J Lo was in complete R&R mode ... clearly making the most of her festive Caribbean getaway following a busy year.

Things will kick off again in the New Year for Jen -- especially with the February release of her new doc, "This Is Me ... Now."

The film will focus on her rekindled romance with Ben Affleck and their 2022 nuptials ... so looks like the husband/wife duo will be hot on the promo trail soon.

Lance Bass tiene buenas noticias para los fanáticos de *NSYNC, diciendo que hay discusiones acerca de una reunión.

Lance dice que Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez y Chris Kirkpatrick están hablando de hacer un regreso y Lance espera darle a los fans de *NSYNC buenas noticias en algún momento.

El miembro de la boy band insinuó la posible reunión durante una reciente aparición en el programa de juegos en línea mensual —"Rent Free"— que se juega en la aplicación Bilt Rewards.

Pero cuando el fundador y CEO de Bilt Rewards —Ankur Jain— suplicó que su regreso fuera tan pronto como el 1 de enero, Lance  hizo una pausa diciendo: "Danos un poco más de tiempo".

Sin embargo, fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que todavía no hay conversaciones oficiales o planes para que *NSYNC se reúna a pesar de las palabras de Lance.

Nuestras fuentes añaden que no hay posibilidad de una gira, álbum o residencia próximamente.

A pesar de la incertidumbre, una reunión de *NSYNC sería un gran éxito, sobre todo después de la enorme recepción a su regreso a los VMA en septiembre.

Lance Bass is saying hi, hi, hi to an *NSYNC reunion ... he says there's discussions about getting the band back together.

Lance says Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick are talking about making a comeback ... and Lance is hoping to give *NSYNC fans good news at some point.

The boy band member hinted at the potential reunion during a recent appearance on the monthly online game show "Rent Free" which is played in the Bilt Rewards app.

But, when Bilt Rewards founder and CEO Ankur Jain pleaded for their return to be as early as January 1, Lance pumped the brakes ... saying, "Give us a little more time than that."

However, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ there are still no official talks or plans for *NSYNC to reunite ... despite what Lance is saying here.

Our sources add there's no possibility of a tour, album, or residency happening anytime soon either.

Despite the uncertainty, an *NYSNC reunion would be a huge hit ... especially after the enormous reception to their VMA comeback in September.

1:00 PM PT -- Just in case you didn't catch it first time, Trina is doubling down for all the "dusty crusty" types ... Beyoncé is her rap GOAT and there isn't a woman walking the earth who's gonna force her to change her opinion!!!

Trina is crowning Beyoncé as the best female rapper in Hip Hop's 50th year ... while acknowledging the "Renaissance" singer only raps in her spare time.

The bold pick came at this year's OneMusicFest in Atlanta when Trina credited Beyoncé for "opening the landscape" for female rapper's success in recent years.

Trina says Beyonce's rap alter-ego birthed inspiration for future female rappers around the globe and she gushed over Mrs. Carter's bars and rhymes.

Beyoncé has been known to bust a flow over the years ... she and her hubs Jay-Z released a joint album in 2018 and snagged a Grammy nomination for their single "Apeshit."

Trina's praise of Beyoncé didn't end with her mic skills ... the Miami rapper mourned the end of the Renaissance Tour and stated everything from the rap girlies has been basic ever since.

Let's hope Beyoncé has a big 2024 planned so Trina doesn't feel the void in the female rap scene much longer!!!

Harry Styles is still lookin' Golden, even when the weather is crap ... 'cause he put his hot bod on full display while taking an ice-cold swim with his boo, Taylor Russell.

Harry and Taylor took a freezing cold dip in the Hampstead Heath swimming ponds, in a post recently uploaded on Instagram by a fan -- who we're sure was grinning from ear to ear.

The singer wasn't shying away from showing himself off ... rocking a beanie, underwear, what appears to be socks, and not much else -- we get why folks adore you, Harry.

As you know, Harry and Taylor have been linked since June when they were spotted on a date at a London art gallery ... and she was getting the VIP treatment at his Vienna concert the following month.

Since then, the 2 have been together quite a bit -- including when they got cozy at the press night for Taylor's play "The Effect" in London, as they chatted it up with folks like James Corden.

They also were spotted at U2's concert at Las Vegas' Sphere last month ... and as you'll recall, he was sporting a buzz cut -- which definitely shocked a few fans.

Harry Styles se sigue viendo guapísimo, incluso cuando el tiempo es una mierda porque puso su cuerpo en exhibición mientras tomaba un baño helado con su novia, Taylor Russell.

Harry y Taylor tomaron un baño helado en los estanques de natación de Hampstead Heath, de acuerdo a un post subido recientemente a Instagram por un fan, que estamos seguros que estaba sonriendo de oreja a oreja cuando vio a su estrella.

El cantante no se privó de mostrar su cuerpazo, luciendo solo un gorro, ropa interior, lo que parecen ser calcetines y no mucho más. Entendemos por qué la gente te adora, Harry.

Como ustedes saben, Harry y Taylor han sido vinculados desde junio, cuando fueron vistos en una galería de arte de Londres en una cita, y un mes después, la vimos recibiendo un tratamiento VIP en su concierto de Viena.

Desde entonces, los dos han pasado un montón de tiempo juntos, incluyendo cuando se pusieron cariñosos en la noche con la prensa para la obra de Taylor "The Effect" en Londres, mientras charlaban con gente como James Corden.

También fueron vistos en el concierto de U2 en Las Vegas Sphere el mes pasado, donde como se acordarán, Harry lució un corte rapado que sin duda sorprendió a algunos fans.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are in an increasingly serious relationship ... because TMZ has learned they are now living together.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Ariana and Ethan are living under the same roof in New York City. That said, we're told each maintains a separate residence, but they are together almost all of the time.

One source tells TMZ, aside from sharing a common interest in acting ... they "vibe together" and enjoy each other's company to the point they'd rather spend time together as a couple than galivante around town to fancy restaurants.

We're told Ariana will return to England early next year to finish filming "Wicked." It's unclear whether Ethan will go ... he has a commitment on Broadway where he stars in "Spamalot." Even if they are on separate continents while she finishes the film, we're told she'll only be in England for a short period of time.

We're told the plan will be status quo when Ariana returns to NYC, underscoring this relationship is serious.

Ariana Grande y Ethan Slater están en una relación cada vez más seria, porque TMZ ha indagado que ahora están viviendo juntos.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Ariana y Ethan están viviendo bajo el mismo techo en la ciudad de Nueva York. Dicho esto, nos dicen que cada uno de ellos mantiene una residencia separada, pero están juntos casi todo el tiempo.

Una fuente le dice a TMZ, que además de compartir su interés por la actuación, "vibran juntos" y disfrutan de la compañía del otro hasta el punto de que prefieren pasar tiempo juntos como pareja antes que callejear por la ciudad y sus restaurantes de lujo.

Nos han dicho que Ariana volverá a Inglaterra a principios del año que viene para terminar de rodar "Wicked". No está claro si Ethan irá también. Tiene un compromiso en Broadway como protagonista de "Spamalot". Incluso si están en continentes separados mientras ella termina la película, nos dicen que solo estaría en Inglaterra por un breve periodo de tiempo.

Nos dicen que el plan es que las cosas se mantengan iguales cuando Ariana regrese a Nueva York, subrayando que esta relación va en serio.
