Heat exhaustion was the cause of death of a Brazilian fan at Taylor Swift's concert ... a forensic report confirms.

Ana Clara Benevides Machado passed out during Taylor's Rio de Janeiro concert Nov. 17 amid the city's oppressive heat -- 105 degrees -- and was pronounced dead hours later at the hospital.

Rio's Forensic Medical Institute now reveals heat exposure led to a "serious compromise of her lungs and sudden death" -- basically, in medical terms, she suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest.

The report notes she didn't have any preexisting conditions or substance abuse issues that could have contributed to her death.

Rio's public prosecutor has now opened a criminal investigation of her death ... saying in a statement Wednesday representatives of the concert's organizers, Time4Fun, will be called to testify following an in-depth analysis of the report.

Soon after the tragic incident unfolded at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos ... fans demanded the organizers supply more water at the following shows because they weren't allowed to take any into the venue themselves.

The company execs acknowledged their mistake shortly after ... saying they "did not economize in our efforts or resources to follow the best global practices in our industry to guarantee the comfort and safety of all."

La hermana de Nick y Aaron Carter, Bobbie Jean Carter, fue encontrada sin respuesta en un baño el día que murió, al igual que su difunto hermano Aaron.

La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Hillsborough le dice TMZ que los primeros auxilios fueron enviados a la casa de Bobbie en Tampa, Florida, el sábado por la mañana. Allí la encontraron y la llevaron a un hospital cercano, donde fue declarada muerta.

El sheriff dice que los oficiales se enteraron de que Bobbie Jean estaba en libertad condicional por posesión de cocaína cuando murió, pero sus compañeros de cuarto dijeron que no había consumido ningún estupefaciente desde que salió de la cárcel.

Más aún, nos dicen que los oficiales no encontraron ningún narcótico o equipamiento de drogas en el dormitorio de Bobbie Jean o en el baño, y que no había signos de crimen violento.

El sheriff dice que la muerte de Bobbie Jean está bajo investigación y que su causa oficial de muerte será determinada en última instancia por la Oficina del Médico Forense, a la espera de los resultados de toxicología.

Es bastante inquietante saber que Bobbie fue encontrada sin respuesta en un baño, al igual que le pasó a su hermano Aaron.

Recuerden, Aaron murió el año pasado después de ahogarse en su bañera. El informe de la autopsia dijo que el artista quedó incapacitado debido a los efectos de las píldoras de prescripción e inhalar antes de deslizarse bajo el agua y ahogarse.

Nick and Aaron Carter's sister, Bobbie Jean Carter, was found unresponsive in a bathroom the day she died ... just like her late brother Aaron.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... first responders were dispatched to Bobbie's Tampa, FL home Saturday morning, they found her and rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was declared dead.

The sheriff says deputies learned Bobbie Jean was on probation for cocaine possession when she died, but her roommates told police she had not used any narcotics since being released from prison.

What's more, we're told deputies did not find any narcotics or drug paraphernalia in Bobbie Jean's bedroom or bathroom ... and there were no signs of foul play.

The sheriff says Bobbie Jean's death is under investigation ... and her official cause of death will be ultimately determined by the Medical Examiner's Office, pending toxicology results.

It's pretty eerie to learn Bobbie was found unresponsive in a bathroom ... because the same thing happened with Aaron.

Remember ... Aaron died last year after drowning in his bathtub. The autopsy report said Aaron became incapacitated due to the effects of prescription pills and huffing before slipping under the water and drowning.

Peter Rosenberg's not buying Kanye West's apology for his antisemitic comments ... seconding our observation it reads like something outta an AI chatbot.

We got the radio DJ on "TMZ Live" Wednesday, where he notes Ye's remorse was so inauthentic compared to his usual impassioned messages ... it automatically let him know it was bogus.

In fact ... Peter focuses on the rapper's delayed album "Vultures" ... theorizing he was forced into conjuring up a blanket apology after record execs pressured him into it ... in exchange for clearing some tunes on his album.

Peter blasts Ye further ... telling us his message being written in Hebrew was both intentionally and unintentionally offensive ... as if American Jews could easily read the language without vowels.

Noting his years-long obsession with making offensive comments ... Peter says he doesn't think there'll ever be an apology from Ye that could make people forget the uproar he's caused.

As TMZ first noted ... an AI content detector said there was an 85% chance a computer wrote Kanye's apology.

Strong buzz words usually associated with chat phrases like "sincerely apologize," "It was not my intention to hurt," and "promoting unity" were used -- meaning there's a strong chance it didn't come from his heart.

Peter Rosenberg no se está comprando las disculpas de Kanye West por sus comentarios antisemitas y también cree que parece salida de un chatbot de inteligencia artificial.

Tuvimos al DJ en "TMZ Live" el miércoles, en donde señaló que el remordimiento de Ye sonaba poco auténtico en comparación con sus apasionados mensajes habituales, lo que automáticamente le hizo pensar que era falso.

De hecho, Peter se centra en su retrasado álbum "Vultures" y teoriza que el rapero se vio obligado a inventar una disculpa general después de que los ejecutivos discográficos lo presionaran a cambio de despejar algunas melodías en su álbum.

Peter arremete aún más contra Ye, diciendo que su mensaje fuera escrito en hebreo fue a la vez intencionalmente y no intencionalmente ofensivo, como si los judíos estadounidenses pudieran leer fácilmente el idioma sin vocales.

Considerando su obsesión de años haciendo comentarios ofensivos, Peter no cree que exista una disculpa que pueda hacer a la gente olvidar el alboroto que ha causado.

Como TMZ primero señaló, un detector de contenido AI descubrió que había un 85% de posibilidades de que un ordenador hubiera escrito la disculpa de Kanye.

Palabras de moda por lo general asociadas con frases de chat como "sinceramente arrepentido", "No era mi intención herir", y "promover la unidad" fueron utilizadas, lo que significa que hay una gran posibilidad de que no haya venido de su corazón.

Tom Smothers -- one half of the famous singing comedy team the "Smothers Brothers" -- has died.

In a statement released Wednesday, Dick Smothers announced his brother's passing, saying Tom died at home as a result of cancer.

Dick went on to say “Tom was not only the loving older brother that everyone would want in their life, he was a one-of-a-kind creative partner."

Continuing, Dick said, “I am forever grateful to have spent a lifetime together with him, on and off stage, for over 60 years."

Dick ended with, "Our relationship was like a good marriage – the longer we were together, the more we loved and respected one another. We were truly blessed.”

In the late '50s, early 1960s, Tom and Dick often appeared on TV variety shows and released popular albums of their stage performances. In 1967, they finally landed their own variety show, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," which instantly became one of the most hotly debated TV programs during the Vietnam War period.

The "Smothers Brothers" got canceled decades before cancellation became a thing. Tommy became super political when the show was in its second season, railing with satire against the Vietnam War. The Bros were especially critical of then-President Lyndon B. Johnson.

On one show Tommy looked straight into the camera and said, "Okay, all you guys in Vietnam, come on home."

During one episode, Harry Belafonte sang, "Don't Stop the Carnival," and the backdrop on stage were images of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, where then-Mayor Richard Daley ordered law enforcement to beat Vietnam protesters in the streets.

They took on other issues as well, but it was too hot for CBS. The network pulled the plug in 1969 at the end of season 3. People in the anti-war movement, along with free speech advocates, were outraged.

Tommy and Dick sued CBS for breach of contract and they eventually got $775,000. The 'SBCH' came back for a short-lived revival in 1988 but ended after one season

Think Dixie Chicks, but 40 years earlier.

Los fans de Taylor Swift están viendo entrelíneas, y más de lo habitual, porque Travis Kelce fue visto con un gran moretón rojo en el cuello que parece ser un gran chupón, ¡al menos para los Swifties!

Esta es la prueba A: El jugador de los Chiefs tenía una marca roja en el cuello, durante el partido de los Chiefs contra los Patriots el pasado fin de semana. Sí, algunos fans con ojos de águila aún están mirando las fotos del partido del 17 de diciembre cuando descubrieron lo que parecía ser la marca de amor de Taylor en su hombre.

Como se pueden imaginar, se están volviendo locos con el tema. Por supuesto, Taylor estaba en las gradas en el partido de los Chiefs/Pats con su padre Scott, que suele ser un fan de los Eagles, pero se puso la camiseta de los Chiefs para mostrar su apoyo.

Ahora, dejando a los Swifties a un lado -al menos por un momento, pandilla-, hay que decir que esa marca en el cuello de Travis podría ser fácilmente un pelo encarnado o una cicatriz de afeitado. Sí, somos los aguafiestas.

Sea lo que sea, el moretón de Travis parecía haber desaparecido para el partido de los Chiefs el día de Navidad contra los Raiders.

Taylor Swift's fans are seeing red -- more than usual -- because Travis Kelce was spotted with a big ol' red mark on his neck that's giving hickey in a big way ... at least to Swifties!

We present Exhibit A: The Chiefs' tight end was all red-neck'd, in a good way, during the Chiefs' game against the Patriots last weekend. Yes, some fans eagle-eyed fans were still looking at pics from the Dec. 17 game when they discovered what they think is Taylor's love mark on her man.

As you can imagine, they're going nuts over it. Of course, Taylor was in the stands at the Chiefs/Pats game with her dad, Scott -- who is usually an Eagles fan, but threw on some Chiefs garb to show support.

Now, Swifties aside -- just for a moment, gang -- and we have to say that mark on Trav's neck could easily be an ingrown hair or a shaving scar. Yes, we're the wet blanket.

Whatever it was ... the hickey-esque thingy seemed to be gone in time for the Chiefs game on Christmas day game against the Raiders.

Kourtney Kardashian dice que está en esa fase después de tener un niño donde nada parece encajar, así que está mostrando su traje de vacaciones después del parto y recibiendo muchos elogios.

Kourtney se abrió sobre su dilema el martes, el día después de Navidad, mostrando su atuendo de vacaciones, que consistía en un body, medias, un abrigo de piel y un montón de bling y según ella, el abrigo no fue elegido al azar.

El pie de foto dice: "Cuando nada en el armario encaja todavía y las tetas están llenas de leche, ponte un abrigo acogedor". La gente en los comentarios también la ha alabado -incluyendo a su hermana, Khloe, que escribió: "Cuando eres una chica mala y nada te importa".

Como informamos, Kourtney tuvo a su bebé, Rocky, el mes pasado, y esto viene después de que Kourtney y su pareja, Travis Barker, mostraran su pancita en algunas sesiones de fotos.

Ella también tenía su vientre de embarazo en plena exhibición en el concierto de Travis Blink-182, que dejó a todo el mundo saber que estaban esperando.

Como recordarás, Kourt y Travis mostraron un primer vistazo al bebé Rocky el viernes, ocultando la cara del niño, pero mostrando a la familia feliz acurrucándose con el pequeño.

Kourtney Kardashian says she's at that phase after havin' a kid where nothing seems to fit ... so she's showing off her holiday postpartum outfit, and get gettin' tons of praise for it.

KK opened up about her dilemma Tuesday, the day after Christmas ... showing off her holiday fit, which consisted of a bodysuit, tights, a fur coat, and a whole lotta bling -- and according to her, the coat wasn't picked out randomly.

The caption reads, "When not much in the closet fits yet and the boobs are filled with milk, throw on a cozy coat." Folks in the comments have been hyping her up, too -- including her sis, Khloe, who wrote, "When you’re a baddie no matter what."

As we reported, Kourtney had her baby, Rocky, last month ... and the bump was shown off quite a bit leading up to the big day, including in a racy photo shoot done for Travis' bday.

She also had her pregnancy belly on full display at Travis' Blink-182 concert, which let the whole world know they were expecting.

You'll recall, Kourt and Travis showed off a first look at baby Rocky on Friday -- hiding the kiddo's face, but showing the happy family cuddling up with the little one.

Despite their recent breakup, Cardi B and Offset were back together again with their kiddos for Christmas.

The estranged hip hop couple posted videos on their Instagram stories showing their fun soiree with their little ones – 5-year-old Kulture and 2-year-old Wave – as well as other children from their family.

Check out the cute clip ... the kids are mostly sitting on the floor ripping open their gifts with big, fat smiles on their faces near a Christmas tree.

From behind the camera, Offset, in part, films some of the footage, getting pretty excited as the tots examine their new toys.

In another video, Cardi is filming inside the huge mansion, taking us on a guided tour through her opulent dining room.

The family reunion comes after Cardi recently announced her separation from Offset after nearly six years of marriage.

Before that, the two unfollowed each other on their respective social media accounts amid rumors that Offset cheated on Cardi.

Kanye West se está disculpando -en hebreo- por sus desvaríos antisemitas y su apoyo a Hitler, esto después de que su nombre fue escrito en un aparente misil israelí que está siendo utilizado en la guerra contra Hamás.

El rapero escribió el martes un extenso comunicado en su reactivada cuenta de Instagram, mostrándose arrepentido por sus comentarios ofensivos hacia el pueblo judío durante el año pasado. Curiosamente, Kanye expresó su arrepentimiento en el idioma del judaísmo: el hebreo.

Esta es la traducción íntegra del mensaje de Kanye: "Pido sinceras disculpas a la comunidad judía por cualquier arrebato involuntario causado por mis palabras o acciones, no era mi intención herir o faltar al respeto y lamento profundamente cualquier dolor que pueda haber causado".

Kanye continuó: "Me comprometo a empezar conmigo mismo y a aprender de esta experiencia para garantizar una mayor sensibilidad y comprensión en el futuro. Su perdón es importante para mí y me comprometo a enmendar las cosas y promover la unidad".

Las palabras... bueno, suenan más corporativas que Kanye.

Su disculpa se produce después de que el luchador israelí de MMA Haim Gozali publicara una foto en X, mostrando un misil con el siguiente mensaje escrito en él: "Kanye West volando a Gaza Haim Gozali".

Por supuesto, Gozali se refería a la actual guerra entre Israel y Hamás en la Franja de Gaza. También escribió en el pie de foto: "@kanyewest no te gustamos los judíos. Así que a nosotros tampoco nos gustas".

Desde 2002, Kanye ha criticado repetidamente a los judíos en foros muy públicos.

En primer lugar, fue en las redes sociales y declaró que iba "a la muerte con 3 en la gente judía". Luego Kanye se sentó para una entrevista de televisión con Piers Morgan, diciendo que le deseaba mal a los judíos por intervenir en sus acuerdos musicales.

Pero no se detuvo ahí... Kanye apareció en "Infowars" presentado por el loco de la conspiración de extrema derecha Alex Jones, mientras proclamaba: "Veo cosas buenas sobre Hitler". Luego habló muy bien de los nazis, afirmando: "Ellos también hicieron cosas buenas. Tenemos que dejar de menospreciar a los nazis todo el tiempo".

A pesar de su reciente ruptura, Cardi B y Offset volvieron a estar juntos con sus hijos por Navidad.

La distanciada pareja de hip hop publicó videos en sus historias de Instagram mostrando su divertida velada con sus pequeños -Kulture, de 5 años, y Wave, de 2- así como con otros niños de su familia.

Échale un vistazo al lindo video... los niños están en su mayoría sentados en el suelo rasgando sus regalos con grandes y gordas sonrisas en sus rostros cerca de un árbol de Navidad.

Desde detrás de la cámara, Offset, filma algunas de las secuencias, emocionándose bastante mientras los chicos descubren sus nuevos juguetes.

En otro video, Cardi está filmando dentro de la enorme mansión, llevándonos en una visita guiada a través de su opulento comedor.

La reunión familiar se produce después de que Cardi anunciara recientemente su separación de Offset después de casi seis años de matrimonio.

Antes de eso, los dos se dejaron de seguir en sus respectivas cuentas de redes sociales en medio de rumores de que Offset engañó a Cardi.

Kanye West is apologizing -- in Hebrew -- for his antisemitic rants and his support for Hitler, this after his name was scribbled on an apparent Israeli missile being used in the war against Hamas.

The rapper wrote a lengthy statement Tuesday in an effort to his reactivated Instagram account, showing contrition for his offensive remarks to the Jewish people over the past year. Interestingly, Kanye expressed his remorse in the language of Judaism: Hebrew.

This is the entire translation of Kanye's message, "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."

Kanye continued, "I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."

The words ... well, they sound more corporate than Kanye.

His apology comes after Israeli MMA fighter Haim Gozali posted a photo on X, showing a missile with the following message written on it: "Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali."

Of course, Gozali was referring to the current Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. He also wrote in the caption, "@kanyewest you don't like us jewish. So, we don't like you too."

Since 2022, Kanye has repeatedly ripped Jews in very public forums.

First, he went on social media and declared he was "going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE." Then Kanye sat for a TV interview with Piers Morgan, saying he wished harm on Jewish people for doing him wrong in their music deals.

But it didn't stop there ... Kanye appeared on "Infowars" hosted by far-right conspiracy nut Alex Jones, while proclaiming, "I see good things about Hitler." He then spoke highly of the Nazis, stating, "They did good things, too. We have to stop dissing the Nazis all the time."

NFL announcer Tony Romo may need some cue cards to remember the relationship status of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – 'cause he thinks they're married!!!

Here's what happened ... Romo was doing the play by play with fellow commentator, Jim Nantz, during the Kansas City Chiefs' 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day. Taylor was back in her VIP suite for the game at Arrowhead Stadium cheering on Travis – her boyfriend, of course, and the Chief's tight end.

But, Romo got it all twisted when Taylor's image flashed on the TV screen, accidentally calling her Travis' WIFE!!

Check out the video posted on Instagram ... Taylor, wearing a Santa hat with Travis' number "87" on it, stands up to root for her beefy lover on the field.

Romo then blows it, but soon catches himself and corrects his mistake, saying, “And his wife loves it, I mean, girlfriend.”

Nantz doesn't let Romo off the hook, pointing out, “You’ve been down this road before."

Unfortunately, Romo has. While calling the Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills last week -- Romo made the same boo-boo.

Once again, the camera panned on Taylor clapping in the audience when Romo said, "As you see, Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience." He caught his blunder there, too, quickly adding, "I'm sorry. Girlfriend!"

Another broadcaster quipped, "Not yet," while chuckling at Romo's gaffe.

Travis Kelce would be awwwweeeeesoooome in the squared-circle ... so says WWE Superstar The Miz, who tells TMZ Sports he'd love to see the Kansas City Chiefs superstar -- AND his brother, Jason -- take their talents to wrestling!!

Remember, we spoke with Travis back in April about possibly seeing him follow fellow tight end greats like Rob Gronkowski and George Kittle by getting into wrasslin' ... and he said he's already talked to Miz about making it happen.

Naturally, we had to ask Mike all about it when we caught up with him at LAX this week ... and while it doesn't sound like anything concrete just yet, it's clear he's put a lot of thought into it.

Miz -- who admitted he's blown up Travis' DMs over the subject -- said it would be perfect to see the Kelce bros team up for a special appearance at WrestleMania ... especially considering it'll be in Philadelphia, a city Jason is VERY familiar with.

Of course, Miz knows firsthand what it's like to go up against NFL stars -- he took on both Kittle and Pat McAfee at the same time at SoFi Stadium earlier this year.

Miz also feels like WWE could see a similar boost as Roger Goodell's org. if it happens ... thanks to the Taylor Swift effect.
