11:35 AM PT -- Nashville PD has released the latest evidence they have of Riley Strain being seen on the night in question -- and it comes courtesy of none other than bodycam footage from a police officer.

NORMAL INTERACTION
Metro Nashville PD

In the body cam video -- which was rolling while the officer was checking out a burglary call on a vehicle -- you can see Officer Reginald Young interact with Riley who casually strolls right by him ... they even exchange a brief hello, and RS looks fairly normal and put together.

Nashville PD says this appears to be the last sighting of him on camera before he vanished.

A major clue has been uncovered in the disappearance of Riley Strain ... as authorities discovered the missing college student's bank card Sunday near a river in town.

According to Nashville Police, Riley's bank card was found on the embankment between Gay St. and the Cumberland River -- where surveillance video is said to have last captured Riley. No other update was issued ... except that the search for Riley continues.

RILEY ON THE RUN

This update comes after Nashville's Office of Emergency Management had the dive team search for Riley in the Cumberland River on Saturday. As the OEM put it to FOX17 ... the search plan included taking several boats along the riverfront where Riley was last seen.

Based on indicators from search K9s onboard, sonars were used to locate areas where divers could look more thoroughly. Saturday's search reportedly resulted in no conclusive findings. Additionally ... the outlet says police do not currently suspect foul play.

However, a local eyewitness claimed to FOX17 Riley was not alone after leaving Luke's 32 Bridge Friday evening. A homeless man detailed that he and his wife, who live by the riverbank, heard a commotion and allegedly saw Riley almost stumble into the river.

'very intoxicated'

He added ... "I never seen anybody stumble that hard before," while claiming RS looked very intoxicated.

The man claims he didn't explore the situation further, claiming someone was apparently already there with Riley, who assured him Riley was just drunk. No word on who that person might've been, or any description of them. The FOX17 report didn't elaborate either.

STUMBLING ON THE STREET

Remember ... the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission is currently investigating whether Riley was overserved at Luke Bryan's Nashville bar. While the establishment is cooperating with authorities, they defended themselves in a recent statement that they only served Riley one alcoholic drink (and two waters) before asking him to leave.

The country superstar himself also spoke out on Riley's disappearance, calling the whole thing scary and asking for prayers.

For anyone who may have reliable information on Riley's whereabouts, cops encourage you to call 615-742-7463.

Taylor & Travis Sleuths Suspect Bahamas Getaway ... Same Island as Joe?!?

Sleuths covering Taylor Swift's every move think she and Travis Kelce are on a getaway together -- and if they're at this specific spot ... she may be a couple's vacay repeater.

Here's the deal ... despite her best efforts, people are still tracking Taylor's private jets -- or trying to anyway -- and one particular group thinks they've got her latest flight pinned down ... specifically, for a trip down to the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

This group of people who track jets suggest she may have been on a flight Sunday from L.A. to North Eleuthera -- and the reason they might be on to something  ... some purported pics of T-Swift and TK surfaced online Monday, and it appears to show them in a tropical setting.

More accurately, the photos published by Deuxmoi appear to show Taylor and Travis walking along a dock -- although the publication doesn't offer any details on where this might be.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Luckily for us, we've done some digging -- and we think we got it figured out ... 'cause the dock they're on looks awfully similar to one that's just a hop and skip away from the main Eleuthera island ... namely, one featured at the Valentines Resort & Marina at Harbour Island.

Take a close look for yourself -- it's hard to say for certain ... but on its face, some of the characteristics seem to line up in appearance. So yeah, it's possible this is where they're at.

If true -- and we're not 100% sure it is at this point, although there are signs it might be -- then this is really interesting ... 'cause Taylor vacationed with her ex, Joe Alwyn, in Eleuthera as well once upon a time. In fact, it looks like she may be doing some of the same stuff.

Remember, in 2022 ... Taylor and Joe also jetted down to the Bahamas -- and they were staying in Eleuthera as well back then ... in none other than an airstream trailer owned by Lenny Kravitz. No word on whether she's shacking up there again with Trav ... hopefully not.

What's interesting about this too ... the fact Joe was just in L.A. the other day, this while Travis and Taylor were in town. Seems to be a lot of flashbacks going on with her ex-BF.

FEELIN' DEJA VU
TMZ.com

One last thing that pretty much confirms these two are enjoying a little R&R -- this on the heels of his NFL season being over, and Taylor enjoying a break from her international tour.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor and Travis have had a vacation planned for a while -- although we didn't hear exactly where they were going. However, our sources say that after they went on this vacay -- which, for now, sure seems like it's happening right now -- they were due to come back to Los Angeles and continue hanging out/playing house.

Taylor and Travis have been shacking up together at her Bev Hills crib for the past couple weeks -- and while Taylor hasn't been spotted out ... Trav's been hitting the town a lot solo.

The guy's been cruising around with his buddies, and he even went to the Justin Timberlake show last week ahead of the debut of his new album ... where he got an *NSYNC reunion.

Anyhoo ... assuming these two are on the getaway we think they're on -- this would mark their first real trip together where it's completely non-work-related ... another step in their relationship ... and just more evidence that they're truly getting serious.

As for the Joe shadow hovering over the Bahamas ... hey, shake it off. New man, new memories! We've reached out to Taylor and Travis' camp ... so far, no word back.

Bruno Mars no tiene deudas millonarias por el juego MGM desmiente los rumores

Bruno Mars no le debe millones al casino del MGM, a pesar de los recientes informes... TMZ ha indagado.

Un representante de MGM Resorts International le dice a TMZ que el cantante no tiene la supuesta deuda de juego de $50 millones -a pesar de que algunos recientemente afirmaron lo contrario- en cambio, MGM salió en defensa de Bruno diciendo que todo es falso.

De hecho, están muy emocionados de colaborar con el ganador del Grammy de nuevo en el futuro.

Y añaden: "Estamos orgullosos de nuestra relación con Bruno Mars, uno de los artistas más emocionantes y dinámicos del mundo. Desde sus espectáculos en Dolby Live en Park MGM hasta el nuevo salón Pinky Ring en Bellagio, la marca de entretenimiento de Bruno atrae a visitantes de todo el mundo. La asociación entre MGM y Bruno es duradera y se basa en el respeto mutuo. Cualquier especulación de lo contrario es completamente falsa; él no tiene ninguna deuda con MGM. Juntos, estamos entusiasmados por seguir creando experiencias inolvidables para nuestros huéspedes".

Esta actualización se produce poco después de que un informe comenzó a circular la semana pasada, el que afirmó que MGM básicamente tenía una supuesta factura de juego de Bruno valorada en decenas de millones. Mientras que Bruno aún no ha abordado el rumor, MGM dejó claro que no hay nada turbio en su relación de negocios. Por cierto, Bruno tiene una residencia próximamente allí.

Bruno se abrió previamente con James Corden en 2016 sobre ser un tahúr antes de alcanzar la fama mundial. En una aparición de "Carpool Karaoke" en "The Late Late Show", explicó que solía jugar al póquer para ayudar a pagar su alquiler en Los Ángeles, así que al tipo sí le gusta apostar.

Dicho esto, puedes apostar a que el MGM y Bruno tienen un futuro brillante.

BIANCA CENSORI ROCKS FULLY SEE-THROUGH OUTFIT ... Hanging By A Thread!!

Bianca Censori has struck again with another mind-bogglingly racy outfit -- turning heads while pulling up to a Raising Cane's drive-thru in Burbank with her man Kanye West.

The Aussie bombshell doesn't hold back in this latest getup Sunday ... serving up some serious heat in a super sheer black ensemble with thin clear straps that were fighting for dear life trying to contain her assets.

Bianca's confidence in rocking her daring styles is iconic ... but even she knows when to draw the line 'cause she strategically placed her phone across her crotch to keep things R-rated -- as opposed to NC-17.

Of course, Kanye's outfit was nowhere near as shocking, but he did match his wife in an all-black look for the outing that saw them reunited after a brief break.

BTW, worth noting ... Ye is rocking Nike gloves here -- telling, considering his on-again-off-again feud with Adidas ... with whom he's currently on the outs as he's accused them of trying to make money off his Yeezy designs. What else is new though?

031824-man-blocking-kanye-bianca-kal
NO PEEKING!!!
BACKGRID

One last thing about this little outing of theirs in the Valley -- some dude tried blocking them off as paps fired away ... throwing up what appeared to be a jacket or blanket of some sort as he aggressively tried to obscure their view. No word on whether he's a hired security guard, or just some random Schmo who popped up out of nowhere. It's kinda giving the latter!

Anyway, it's clear Bianca isn't shying away from her typical style these days -- even with her folks in town ... or one of them at least.

As we reported ... BC was hanging with her mom, Alexandra, for the last few days ... hitting up Rolling Loud to catch Ye's performance and stopping by a San Fernando Valley cosmetics store. In the latter, the model went braless under a pink mini-dress -- but for the most part, it was practically conservative dressing on her part.

As you all know, the rapper has been openly flaunting his near-nude wife almost exclusively ... and he's been doing it since the start of 2023, hot on the heels of his Kim K split.

Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker I Hope Travis And Taylor Get Hitched ... Start A Family!!!

Travis Kelce's teammate is hoping his relationship with Taylor Swift results in love, marriage and a baby in a carriage ... 'cause Harrison Butker can't get enough of the tight end's girlfriend!!

The Chiefs kicker revealed his wishes for the two lovebirds in an interview with EWTN's "In Depth" recently ... when he was asked his thoughts on the pop superstar's presence at Kansas City games this season.

Butker admitted he was initially nervous to meet Swift at first (despite not really identifying as a Swiftie) ... but praised how down-to-earth the "Karma" crooner is in person.

He pointed out the feeling was mutual ... as Swift was mind-blown over the fact he's able to kick balls so far and accurately.

Butker pointed out he hung out with Swift for a bit at a New Year's Eve party ... and it was "a great experience" and he couldn't say enough good things about her.

As for Traylor's future, Butker is wishing nothing but long-term success for the power couple ...  saying "I hope they get married and start a family."

The comments are pretty interesting -- Butker has no issue putting that kinda pressure on Kelce, so maybe the guys have talked about the tight end's true feelings toward Swift and what his intentions are in the relationship.

Perhaps an engagement really is coming someday!!

RILEY STRAIN ENCUENTRAN SU TARJETA BANCARIA CERCA DEL RÍO La búsqueda continúa

ACTUALIZACIÓN

11:35 AM PT -- La policía de Nashville ha publicado las últimas pruebas que tienen de Riley siendo visto en la noche en cuestión, y vienen por cortesía de nada menos que las imágenes de la cámara corporal de un oficial de policía.

031824-riley-strain-bodycam-kal 3/8/24
nada sospechoso
Metro Nashville PD

En el video -que estaba rodando mientras el oficial estaba comprobando una llamada de robo de un vehículo- se puede ver al oficial Reginald Young interactuar con Riley que casualmente paseaba junto a él, incluso intercambian un breve hola, y Riley se ve bastante normal.

La policía de Nashville dice que este parece ser el último avistamiento de él en cámara antes de que desapareciera.

Se ha descubierto una pista importante en la desaparición de Riley Strain, ya que las autoridades descubrieron la tarjeta bancaria del estudiante universitario desaparecido el domingo cerca de un río de la ciudad.

Según la policía de Nashville, la tarjeta bancaria de Riley fue encontrada en el terraplén entre Gay St. y el río Cumberland, donde se dice que el video de vigilancia capturó por última vez a Riley. No se emitió ninguna otra actualización, excepto que la búsqueda de Riley continúa.

031324_riley_strain_running_kal 3/8/24
riley en movimiento

Esta actualización se produce luego de que la Oficina de Gestión de Emergencias de Nashville tuviera a un equipo de buceo buscando a Riley en el río Cumberland el sábado. La OEM le dijo a FOX17 que el plan de búsqueda incluye usar varios barcos a lo largo de la orilla del río, donde Riley fue visto por última vez.

Se utilizaron sonares para localizar áreas donde los buzos podrían buscar más a fondo, aunque la búsqueda al parecer no dio lugar a resultados concluyentes. Además, la policía no sospecha actualmente de un caso criminal.

Sin embargo, un testigo local le dijo a FOX17 que Riley no estaba solo después de salir de Luke's 32 Bridge el viernes por la noche. Un hombre sin hogar detalló que él y su esposa -que viven junto a la orilla del río- escuchó una conmoción y supuestamente vio a Riley casi tropezar en el río.

031824_riley_strain_kal_v2 3/18/24
muy intoxicado
Fox17

Añadió: "Nunca he visto a nadie tropezar tan fuerte antes", mientras afirma que Riley parecía estar muy intoxicado.

El hombre afirma que no exploró la situación más allá, alegando que alguien aparentemente ya estaba allí con Riley, y aseguró que el joven solo estaba borracho. No se sabe quién podría haber sido esa persona, o cualquier descripción de ellos. El informe de FOX17 tampoco dio más detalles.

031324_riley_strain_kal 3/8/24
TROPEZANDO EN LA CALLE

Recordemos que la Comisión de Bebidas Alcohólicas de Tennessee está investigando actualmente si Riley bebió en exceso en el bar de Luke Bryan en Nashville. Mientras que el establecimiento está cooperando con las autoridades, se defendieron en un reciente comunicado afirmando que solo le sirvieron Riley una bebida alcohólica (y dos aguas) antes de pedirle que se fuera.

La superestrella del country también se pronunció sobre la desaparición de Riley, calificando todo el asunto de aterrador y pidiendo oraciones.

Para cualquiera que pueda tener información fiable sobre el paradero de Riley, la policía le anima a llamar al 615-742-7463.

Bruno Mars Doesn't Have $50M in Gambling Debt ... MGM Bats Down Story

Bruno Mars doesn't owe millions in gambling debt to MGM Resorts -- despite what a recent report claimed ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for MGM Resorts International tells TMZ ... the singer doesn't have a $50 million gambling tab on the books with them -- even though some recently alleged the opposite. Instead, MGM came to Bruno's defense ... calling the allegation he owes a massive sum completely false.

In fact, the Las Vegas hot spot is super excited to collaborate with the Grammy winner again in the future -- not exactly the tone someone would take with a dude who's got a fat bill.

They add ... "We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers. From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe. MGM and Bruno's partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests."

This update comes shortly after a report began circulating this past week that claimed MGM basically owned Bruno over an alleged gambling bill that was worth tens of millions. While Bruno has yet to address the gossip, MGM made it clear that there is nothing shady about their business relationship. BTW, Bruno's got an upcoming residency there at the resort.

Bruno previously opened up to James Corden in 2016 about being a card shark before hitting worldwide fame. In a "Carpool Karaoke" appearance on 'The Late Late Show,' he explained that he used to play poker to help pay his rent in L.A. ... so the dude does like to gamble.

Still, with that said ... MGM ain't about to send out the loan sharks -- he's good in their book.

Alicia Keys & Roc Nation Donate Big ... Help 12-Yr-Old Save Arts Program

Alicia Keys and Roc Nation came to the rescue of a 7th grader who's raising money for an NYC school's performing arts program ... and she's a lot closer to doing that now.

12-year-old Tennyson Artigliere got a huge boost from Alicia and co. to help out a GoFundMe she started in an attempt to keep the Professional Performing Arts School main program alive and kicking ... this amid budget cuts that threaten to close it for good.

The kid had a high goal of $102,000 -- which would help keep the Performing Arts Program open -- even if only for a little bit longer. Alicia -- who attended the school -- caught wind of the fundraiser, along with the rapper's entertainment company, and decided to intervene ... chipping in a whopping $60,000 toward her goal.

Alicia and Roc Nation's contribution adds to money they'd already raised ... around $50k.

Alicia and Roc Nation aren't stopping there -- as they have also vowed to help raise money for the program every year until the city is able to fund it themselves. Jeremy Allen White -- another alumni -- has also donated to the cause, pushing out the GFM link on his IG.

Tennyson couldn't be more grateful for the celebrity assistance, especially from such a notable alum like Alicia. Apparently, Tennyson's classmates couldn't believe it when she revealed that Alicia would be stepping in to save their performing arts program.

She added ... "We still talk about her legacy every single day."

So far, the GoFundMe has received over 600 donations ... and counting.

Stray Kids' Seungmin Throws First Pitch At MLB Seoul Series ... Right Down The Middle!!!

Seungmin Strikeout
X/@MLB

Stray Kids member Seungmin is way more than a K-pop superstar -- the vocalist proved he's got some serious skills on the mound as well ... throwing a perfect strike during the ceremonial first pitch at the MLB Seoul Series game!!

1/8 of the popular boy group was present for the Los Angeles Dodgers' exhibition game against Team Korea at Gocheok SkyDome on Monday ... but he wasn't just there to watch -- he also got to show off his arm prior to the start of the contest.

As it turns out, Seungmin's first love was baseball ... and he played the sport for years before switching over to music.

It's clear it wasn't his first rodeo ... 'cause the windup and follow through look super polished -- and his toss landed right down the middle of the plate.

Fittingly, SKZ's hit song, "LALALALA," was blaring over the PA system as he made his attempt.

Seungmin also shared a moment with Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly after the impressive outing ... posing for a pic and swapping his Team Korea hat for an LA cap.

But he eventually switched back to his original lid as he took his seat in the stands ... repping the home team as he enjoyed a beer and locked in on the action unfolding on the diamond.

The idol's pitch wasn't the only one to turn heads at the Seoul Series ... actress Jeon Jong-seo also appeared to be a fan favorite the day prior, even grabbing the attention of some Dodger players.

The Dodgers ended up taking the win on Monday, 5-2 ... and will now switch their focus to a two-game series against the San Diego Padres to start of the MLB season, which will also go down in Korea.

KANYE WEST EN ROLLING LOUD BRUTAL PELEA ENTRE EL PÚBLICO Presunta golpiza a mujer trans

031824-transgender-woman-mosh-pit-kanye-kal
un ataque brutal

La aparición de Kanye West en Rolling Loud parece haber provocado una pelea masiva que involucró a una supuesta mujer transgénero.

Estas imágenes del set de Ye del jueves están circulando, y muestran a una persona -supuestamente una mujer trans- entrando en una pelea con un chico, lo que rápidamente estalla en una pelea sin cuartel con otros asistentes. Efectivamente, se convierte en un violento mosh pit.

Se puede ver a esta persona recibiendo puñetazos en la cara que la dejan completamente ensangrentada y maltrecha. Y, sin embargo, el ataque continúa.

Hay gente mirando y animando y otros aparentemente intentando detener el caos. Otro grupo incluso parece animar a esta persona a seguir luchando, gritando "WorldStar".

A medida que la pelea continúa, esta persona sigue recibiendo más y más golpes. La sacuden y finalmente la tiran al suelo.

Como hemos dicho, los atacantes no se retiran, y siguen golpeando.

Al final... la pelea parece detenerse y todos se reúnen para bailar al ritmo de la música que Ye y compañía, e incluso la maltratada víctima parece dejarlo todo de lado y participa de la fiesta. Todo pasa de increíblemente violento a increíblemente musical.

Fea escena obviamente... y no está claro si se hizo algún arresto. El alcance de las lesiones de esta persona también se desconocen, pero como se puede imaginar, los comentarios hirientes abundan.

Kanye West at Rolling Loud Fans Get in Huge Brawl Alleged Trans Woman Beaten Up

031824-transgender-woman-mosh-pit-kanye-kal
BRUTAL BEATDOWN

Kanye West's appearance at Rolling Loud appears to have sparked a massive brawl that roped in an alleged transgender woman ... who took a serious beating.

This footage from Ye's set on Thursday is making the rounds, and it shows a person -- alleged to be a trans woman -- getting into a fight with a guy, which then blows up into an all-out melee with other concert attendees. Effectively, it turns into a violent mosh pit.

You can see this person taking fists to the face -- and the hits leave them completely bloodied and battered. And yet ... they keep coming back for more, holding their own.

There's a mix of bystanders watching and cheering it on ... and others who are seemingly trying to break it up. Another group even appears to push this person to continue fighting -- encouraging the chaos and shouting "WorldStar."

As the fight goes on ... this person continues to get more and more pummeled -- not only being punched constantly, but getting flipped over and thrown onto the ground a lot too.

Like we said ... they don't retreat, only continuing to come at the initial aggressor, a guy.

Eventually ... the fighting seems to come to a stop with everyone coming together to dance to the music Ye and co. were playing -- and even the battered victim here appears to let it all go and partakes in the festivities. It goes from incredibly violent to incredibly musical instantly.

Ugly scene obviously -- and it's unclear if any arrests were made. The extent of this person's injuries are also unknown ... but as you can imagine, the hurtful comments are flying.

Zendaya & Tom Holland Just Want To Dance With Somebody ... Singin' Whitney at Match

Zendaya and Tom Holland put on an impromptu performance during the BNP Paribas Open ... belting out Whitney Houston at a break in the action.

The lovely couple were sitting together at the tennis final Sunday when they were both seemingly overtaken by the music ... launching into their own renditions of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by the late, great artist.

You can't hear the pair singing, but just check out the clip ... the dynamic duo's clearly putting on quite the show for anyone looking their way. TH is even getting his body rockin' to the beat.

And, the end of the singing is just as good too ... with the couple sharing a joke during the last notes of the song -- not totally clear what they're laughing about, but they look adorable here, seemingly lost in their own world

The pair were dressed in their tennis best ... a good thing too, 'cause Zendaya headed down to the court after the match to take a snap with the women's champ Iga Swiatek.

What a day for Iga -- a trophy and a pic with Zendaya ... no wonder she's grinning from ear to ear!

BTW both Tom and Zendaya have their own affinities for the sport -- TH has been photographed at multiple tournaments, just like Zendaya ... who seems to like it so much she's starring in the movie "Challengers" based around the sport.

If Tom and Zendaya wanna dance with somebody though ... they really only need to look at one another. Happy singin', lovebirds!!!

Ray J Two Maybach SUVs Missing ... Police Investigating

Ray J's car collection is a couple rides light today ... 'cause he apparently he's missing two high-priced automobiles -- and we're told he's not getting a straight answer about their whereabouts.

Sources close to Ray J with direct knowledge tell us ... two of Ray's Maybach SUVs are currently missing after having been put on a enclosed car carrier to New York City Friday night.

We're told the cars were supposed to show up in New York today ... but apparently never did. Instead, our sources say the cars' have been tracked -- and, it seems the trackers are just sitting still in Reno, Nevada.

Sources tell us Ray's reached out to the shipping company in charge of moving the cars ... but they say he's not getting a straight answer on where exactly the Maybachs are right now.

Ray J's got the police involved we're told ... and -- though the cars are currently missing and not stolen as far as anyone knows -- police are investigating the matter.

We're also told Ray J -- who's out in NYC to launch his new original content steaming platform The Tronix Network -- will still be at all of the pre-organized events while figuring out next steps with the cars.

BTW Maybach SUVs ain't cheap -- with some reports saying cars like that can go for upwards of $200k ... so you can imagine Ray J's pretty keen on getting his vehicles back!

They call Reno "The Biggest Little City in the World" ... hopefully, that means police won't have too much trouble tracking down the missing Maybachs.

TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET LIBERANDO AL TROVADOR QUE LLEVA DENTRO Encarnando a Bob Dylan

Timothée Chalamet se mueve por la película biográfica de Bob Dylan como una "piedra rodante", encarnando al famoso cantautor en las primeras fotos del set.

El actor llegó a las calles de Nueva York para rodar escenas de la nueva película "A Complete Unknown" el domingo, y ya podmeos verlo interpretando al diez veces ganador del Grammy, con bufanda, gorra, mochila y guitarra incluida.

Timothée se ve un poco angustiado en estas fotos... tal vez es un momento emocional en la vida del legendario cantante, y sin duda, uno que Timmy está llevando a cabo de manera impecable.

También filmó una escena a principios del fin de semana, en la que aparece al lado de una calle con un café en la mano... una gran defensa contra cualquier noche fría en Nueva York.

Hay que reconocer que el actor tiene el físico para interpretar de manera convincente al mítico trovador.

Pero, Timothée no es el tipo de actor que se basa solo en la apariencia. Nos informan que ha estado tomando clases de guitarra durante un tiempo en preparación para el papel, mientras que también está listo para cantar como Dylan en la próxima película.

022724_hans_zimmer-kal 2/27/24
"Ellos saben lo que hacen"
TMZ.com

Sabemos que tiene talento para interpretar a Bob -basta con ver "Wonka" para comprobarlo- y la leyenda de la composición, Hans Zimmer, elogió las habilidades musicales de Chalamet. En nuestra opinión, todo un elogio.

Por cierto, hay que reconocer que Chalamet no se ha dormido en los laureles: "Dune: Parte Dos" ya está llegando al medio billón de dólares en la taquilla mundial y los críticos parecen amar la película también.

Sí, los "tiempos pueden estar cambiando", pero Timothée se mantiene en la cima de su juego.

Fat Joe Panel & Discussion w/ VP Harris ... Cannabis, Healthcare, Criminal Justice and More

Fat Joe's rubbing elbows with some of the top politicians in the country ... specifically Vice President Kamala Harris -- and he's sharing his solutions for some of the country's greatest issues, too.

The outspoken rapper met up with the VP on Friday afternoon and led a panel regarding criminal justice reform featuring Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and White House Director of the Office of Public Engagement Steve Benjamin.

The convo -- which featured a few other prominent criminal justice advocates and three recipients of marijuana-related pardons -- lasted about an hour and featured lots of personal anecdotes from those pardoned.

We're told Fat Joe expressed his gratitude for how his journey through hip hop had landed him in a close relationship with the vice president -- who he apparently met through his healthcare reform group Power To The Patients.

BTW ... we're told Joe actually sat down for a private conversation with Kamala where the two talked about healthcare price transparency and other issues close to Joe's heart.

Harris isn't the only exec who Joe's spoken to in recent days ... the Bronx-bred rapper also caught up with President Joe Biden himself -- following the Prez's SOTU address, which took some shots at Donald Trump.

Sources told us members of both parties wanted a piece of Fat Joe after he dapped up Biden ... with reps on both sides of the aisle rushing to the man for an autograph.

Fat Joe's been on the advocacy grind for a while now ... and we even talked to him about Power to the Patients on "TMZ Live" back in January.

It seems Joe's now sharing his opinion on all types of issues it seems ... and hey, maybe Kamala could use a running mate in 2028? 👀

Timothée Chalamet Releasing Inner Troubadour ... In Character as Bob Dylan

Timothée Chalamet's rockin' around the Bob Dylan biopic like a rolling stone ... embodying the famous singer-songwriter in the first pics from set.

The actor hit the streets of NYC to shoot scenes for the new flick "A Complete Unknown" Sunday, and he's already got the 10-time Grammy winner's style down -- scarf, cap and rucksack at the ready with a guitar tucked safely in his hand.

TC's lookin' a little distraught in these pics ... perhaps an emotional moment in the legendary crooner's life -- and, no doubt one Timmy's pulling off flawlessly.

He also filmed a scene earlier in the weekend -- appearing on the side of a street with a coffee in hand ... a great defense against any chilly night in New York.

One big takeaway from the new photos ... Chalamet's got the Dylan look down -- not totally a surprise given the similar features of the two megastars.

But, Timothée's not the kind of actor to bank on looks alone ... the dude's reportedly been taking guitar lessons for a while now in preparation for the role while he's also all set to sing as Dylan in the upcoming flick.

022724_hans_zimmer-kal 2/27/24
T AND Z KNOW THEIR STUFF !!!
TMZ.com

We know he's got the pipes to pull off a performance as BD -- just watch "Wonka" to see for yourself -- and composing legend Hans Zimmer even praised Chalamet's musical chops. Some damn high praise if you ask us.

BTW ... gotta give it up to Chalamet for not resting on his laurels -- "Dune: Part Two" is already coming up on a half-a-billion dollars at the global box office ... and critics seem to love the flick too.

Yes, the time may be a-changin' ... but it seems Timothée's staying right on top of his game.
