Hollywood's biggest stars have come out in support of Israel amid their ongoing conflict in the Middle East -- but there are hardly any backing Palestine ... at least not publicly.

The A-list crowd has been pouring out with social media tributes all weekend -- speaking on the violent clash ... and denouncing the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. Some of those celebs who've voiced their solidarity with Israel include Gal Gadot, Madonna, Ashley Tisdale, Scooter Braun, Mark Hamill, Amy Schumer, Natalie Portman, Kris Jenner, Jamie Lee Curtis and more.

While a lot of these famous folks are posting simple "We Stand With Israel" messages -- others are offering a bit more of a nuanced take ... saying it's reasonable to both disagree with Israel's treatment of Palestinians AND disavow the unhinged violence on Israeli citizens.

That's a sentiment that's been widely embraced by people of late ... and we've been seeing that reflected in streets all over the U.S. -- with many Americans waving Palestinian flags and screaming "Free Palestine." As far as Hollywood's concerned though ... not very many are taking that firm of a stance on the issue -- save for a select few like Mia Khalifa, etc.

There's 2 people, specifically, a lot of celebs are waiting to hear from ... and that would be Gigi and Bella Hadid, both of whom have remained silent -- this despite the fact they've been very vocal supporters of Palestine over the years, and sympathetic to their cause.

It's interesting ... the fact they haven't spoken up seems to have ruffled feathers in H'wood, with actress Sara Foster apparently calling them out -- but without naming names.

She writes, "Watching Palestinian influencers on here refuse to denounce hamas, refuse to speak out against the barbaric treatment of children, refuse to hope for peace, all while living in the comfort of the US with zero intention of ever being in Palestine because they could never be openly gay or openly post their bikini pics is sadly not shocking. It's easy to be outspoken from the comfort of your warm democratic bed." Sure sounds Hadid-related.

Interestingly enough, some have speculated the Hadid connection may be why Kylie Jenner posted but then deleted her "Support Israel" Instagram this weekend. She's pals with them.

In any case, it's clearly a divisive issue ... but just about every public figure is sending their thoughts and prayers to the innocent people being thrust into the middle of this nightmare.

The life-and-death nature of reporting from the frontlines in Israel is playing out on TV ... as CNN's Clarissa Ward narrowly avoids Hamas rockets flying overhead.

Clarissa and her crew are right near a border crossing between Israel and Gaza, and as they were reporting Monday on a recent Hamas attack, they had to dive into a ditch to avoid the incoming artillery.

You can see and hear the shells whistle overhead and explode dangerously close to them.

They kept recording right through the strike, and eventually ended up live on CNN, describing the "massive barrage of rockets" aimed at their position.

Once the shelling stopped, she got out of the ditch and showed the roadway where Hamas had recently driven through ... firing on civilians, and then taking hostages and driving them back across the border into Gaza.

Former porn star-turned-influencer Mia Khalifa is catching heat online after voicing support for the people of Palestine on the heels of the deadly Hamas attacks that sparked the intensifying war with Israel.

Mia shared her controversial thoughts online over the weekend, as Israel declared a state of war after the Hamas attack ... saying a slew of things not in favor of the people of Israel.

She tweeted, "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," and, "I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books."

Mia, who is Lebanese, faced backlash for her comments against Israel, but she doubled down ... writing, "I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists."

She also claimed those who look at the incident and aren't siding with Palestinians are "on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time." Still, folks online are ripping into her stance.

As you know, the Hamas attack on Israel went down Saturday, with the death toll reportedly reaching 700 victims as of Monday amid the massive destruction.

Drake has a huge sales week on the horizon, but isn't ready to let bygones be bygones over Joe Budden's scathing critique of his new album, "For All the Dogs," and his boyish lifestyle!!!

Drake threw another shot Monday at JB, clowning him for having a bulletproof fedora case and his podcast career ... "I thank god for this life and not having to come to rushed conclusions on Best Buy podcast mics."

HitsDD is projecting Drake to have his biggest opening week since 2021 -- evidence fans weren't digging that dance album that much -- yet, he's still distracted by Budden enough to spend the weekend duking it out with him.

The Canadian rapper went out of his way to discredit Budden's podcast cohost/engineer Parks Vallely, essentially labeling him "cool as Mark Zuckerberg," to which Parks might have trumped Drake with his response -- revealing he actually worked on Drake's 2016 "Scorpion" album.

JB was basking in yet another level-up for his podcast in the wake of his Drake beef ... posting how his anti-"Dogs" episode was competing in the global news market against Israel vs. Hamas and Donald Trump. Hyperbole's also good ratings.

Whether fans hated it or loved it, the new album could be Drake's last offering for a while ... he says stomach issues have been holding him back for some time now.

Horrified concertgoers dove into an underbrush to try and save their lives at the Israeli festival where Hamas terrorists slaughtered 260 innocent people.

Two attendees -- a man and a woman -- recorded the harrowing images with their cell phones and posted the footage on social media.

The clips show the two hiding in bushes and whispering messages to family and friends in case they don't make it out alive.

In the background, you hear artillery fire and bombs exploding during Saturday's bloodbath at the Supernova Festival.

Survivors stayed hunkered down for up to 5 hours until Israeli soldiers came in to bring them to safety.

The Palestinian militant group crashed through barriers separating Israel from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to carry out the sneak attack around dawn.

Gunmen rolled up in trucks to the venue where fans were listening to music all night and opened fire into the crowd, killing hundreds of people.

At the same time, Hamas launched surprise assaults in other parts of Israel, leaving more than 700 dead. Videos posted online show kidnappings and rockets blowing up buildings.

Los asistentes a un concierto tuvieron que esconderse entre los matorrales para salvar sus vidas en un festival israelí donde los terroristas de Hamás masacraron a 260 inocentes.

Dos asistentes —un hombre y una mujer— grabaron las angustiosas imágenes con sus teléfonos móviles y las publicaron en redes sociales.

En los clips se los ve a ambos escondidos entre los arbustos y susurrando mensajes a familiares y amigos en caso de no salir con vida.

De fondo, se oyen disparos de artillería y explosiones de bombas durante la devastación del sábado en el Festival Supernova.

Los supervivientes permanecieron agazapados hasta 5 horas hasta que los soldados israelíes entraron para ponerlos a salvo.

El grupo militante palestino atravesó las barreras que separan Israel de la Franja de Gaza, gobernada por Hamás, para llevar a cabo el ataque sorpresa hacia el amanecer.

Los hombres armados llegaron en camiones al lugar donde los aficionados habían estado escuchando música toda la noche y abrieron fuego contra la multitud, matando a cientos de personas.

Al mismo tiempo, Hamás lanzó ataques sorpresa en otras partes de Israel, dejando más de 700 muertos. Circulan videos en Internet que muestran secuestros y cohetes lanzados contra edificios.

Los terroristas desataron un ataque sorpresa en Israel este fin de semana que ha dejado decenas de muertos, marcando lo que seguramente será el comienzo de un prolongado derramamiento de sangre en Medio Oriente.

El grupo radical conocido como Hamás invadió el territorio israelí a lo largo de la Franja de Gaza y las zonas circundantes la madrugada del sábado. Esto, después de lanzar innumerables cohetes contra edificios civiles y causar estragos en las calles con convoyes armados.

Hay varios videos que capturan la brutalidad y el horror de lo que está sucediendo en el terreno de Israel, y la mayoría de ellos son demasiado gráficos para ser publicados.

Lo que podemos mostrar, sin embargo, son clips clave de israelíes al momento de ser tomados prisioneros, los que incluyen un montón de mujeres y niños que están siendo forcejeados por los miembros de Hamás y arrojados en la parte de trasera de camiones, donde luego son golpeados y maltratados.

Al momento de escribir estas líneas, el recuento oficial de muertos en el bando israelí era de más de 150 personas y sigue aumentando a medida que el gobierno busca entre los escombros. El Primer Ministro Benjamin Netanyahu dijo que Israel está "en guerra" tras la incursión de Hamás y ha prometido tomar represalias con todo lo que esté en sus manos para enviar un mensaje disuasorio.

Israel ya ha comenzado a hacer eso, disparando sus propios cohetes y destruyendo edificios donde se cree que hay afiliados de Hamás. Ataques aéreos también están ocurriendo.

Los enfrentamientos solo se han intensificado desde la embestida inicial. Los últimos informes dicen que una nueva ola de cohetes fue disparada desde la región de Gaza y se dirigen hacia el centro de Israel, incluyendo Tel Aviv. Estados Unidos ya está atento a las desagradables noticias.

Terrorists unleashed a surprise attack in Israel this weekend that has left scores of people dead -- marking what's sure to be the start of a prolonged bloodbath in the Middle East.

The radical group known as Hamas swarmed Israeli territory along the Gaza Strip and surrounding areas early Saturday morning -- this after launching countless rockets at civilian buildings and going around to wreak havoc on the streets thereafter in armed convoys.

There are several videos surfacing from Israel that capture the sheer brutality and horror of what's happening on the ground ... and most of them are far too graphic for publication.

What we can show, however, are key clips of Israelis being taken hostage in this hellish ordeal -- including lots of women and children who are being wrangled by Hamas members and thrown into the backs of their trucks ... getting tossed and thrashed and mistreated.

As of this writing, the official body count on Israel's side is upwards of 150 ... and it continues to soar as the government scours through the wreckage and aftermath. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel is "at war" following the Hamas incursion -- and promised to retaliate with everything in his power to send a message of deterrence.

Israel has already begun to do that ... firing its own rockets and destroying buildings that are believed to be affiliated with Hamas militants -- and there are aerial strikes happening as well.

The fighting has only escalated since the initial onslaught ... the latest reports say a new wave of rockets have been fired from the Gaza region and are headed toward central Israel, including Tel Aviv. The U.S. is already on its toes in the wake of all this ugly news.

La exesposa de Kevin McGrath, el pasajero del crucero Carnival que desapareció misteriosamente durante un viaje a las Bahamas, no cree que esté muerto. De hecho, nos dijo que su familia solo quiere que vuelva a casa sano y salvo.

Addison Thomas le dijo a TMZ que en el fondo siente que Kevin aún está vivo y en algún lugar, a pesar de que su paradero sigue siendo desconocido un mes después de que se cayera de la nave y desapareciera del mapa.

Aun así, Addison cree que todavía es difícil despertar cada mañana y no sabe dónde está Kevin, ya que no es propio de él que abandone a su familia y a sus hijos, nos dijo.

Addison dice que mantuvo una buena relación con Kevin después de su separación. Él siempre llamaba para saber sobre sus hijos, algo que se perdió desde su desaparición.

TMZ dio la noticia, Kevin estaba en libertad condicional cuando desapareció el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo. Estaba a bordo de un crucero que iba de Miami a las Bahamas, pero desapareció sin dejar rastro y provocando una búsqueda de la Guardia Costera que finalmente fue cancelada.

Kevin estaba en problemas legales después de ser declarado culpable de agresión con agravantes en Tennessee en 2022. Addison dijo que amenazó con matarla a ella y a sus hijos una noche, y terminó siendo condenado a 6 años de libertad condicional supervisada.

A pesar de ese incidente, Addison defiende a su ex, diciendo que no es un mal tipo y que además es un veterano que luchó por su país y ama a su familia.

The ex-wife of Kevin McGrath, the missing Carnival cruise passenger who mysteriously vanished during a Bahamas trip, doesn't think he's dead ... telling us his family just wants to see him come home safe.

Addison Thomas tells TMZ ... deep down she feels Kevin is still alive somewhere, even though his whereabouts remain unknown a month after he fell off the ship and the map.

Even so, Addison says it's still difficult waking up every morning wondering where Kevin is ... telling us it's not like him to abandon his family or his children.

Addison says she maintained a good relationship with Kevin after their split, telling us he would always call to check on their kids ... something they've been missing since his disappearance.

TMZ broke the story ... Kevin was on probation when he vanished over Labor Day weekend, disappearing from a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas without a trace and sparking a Coast Guard search that was ultimately called off.

Kevin was in legal trouble after pleading guilty to aggravated assault in Tennessee in September 2022 -- Kevin threatened her and their kids one night -- and he ended up getting sentenced to 6 years of supervised probation.

Despite that incident, Addison defends her ex, saying he's not a bad guy ... he's a veteran who fought for his country and loves his family.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. is kissing "The Daily Show" goodbye ... leaving the program after, at one point, being considered to take the helm as host following Trevor Noah's departure.

Roy says in a statement Thursday he's "made the decision to move on" from a place where, according to him, he's "been able to pursue my comedic and political curiosities with some of the best writers, producers, crew and correspondents anyone could hope for."

He gives thanks to Trevor Noah -- the show's former host -- as well as Paramount and Comedy Central for letting him produce stand-up specials, host multiple podcasts, write a film, and shoot the pilot of a TV show.

Roy ends, saying he's excited to "see what the future holds for me in the shifting sands of late night television, scripted comedy, and whatever else the comedy gods may have in store for me."

TMZ broke the story, Roy was in the running to replace Trevor last year -- as the South African comedian stepped down from his hosting gig after 7 years.

Sources told us Comedy Central execs saw Roy as someone who could easily be the new face of "TDS" -- not only is he one of the most memorable correspondents on the show, but the series has a history of promoting from within.

We were told the higher-ups at CC were worried about Roy leaving because of how in-demand he's become over the years ... but Roy told NPR the show never officially offered him the gig.

Severe road rage has a Philly biker behind bars this morning ... after he was caught on camera smashing the rear window of a woman's car as her 2 young kids were in the backseat.

Cops busted 26-year-old Cody Heron Wednesday night for a heinous attack on a driver Sunday night. Heron was part of a group of bikers riding through the city when they rolled up on Nikki Bullock's sedan.

Video of the incident shows Heron hop off his motorcycle, and stomp twice on the rear window of her car before he smashes right through it.

You can also see Heron was armed with a handgun, because it falls out of his waistband as he jumps off the car to get back on his bike. After a brief physical confrontation -- during which Heron headbutts Nikki with his helmet -- he and the other bikers flee the scene.

Cops finally tracked down Heron Wednesday night at a home where they also found his motorcycle, helmet and a 9mm handgun.

He was booked for possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, and multiple counts of aggravated assault.

Nikki says the whole thing started because Heron sideswiped her car while she was delivering for Uber Eats. She was arguing with him and other bikers, and says that's when Heron jumped off his bike and pounced on the window ... with her 5-year-old and 2-year-old kids just inches away.

El juez ha ordenado que el jugador de fútbol juvenil de 11 años acusado de disparar a dos de sus compañeros de equipo a principios de esta semana permanezca bajo custodia durante al menos los próximos 21 días.

El niño, que la policía dice que abrió fuego contra dos de 13 años de edad, después de una disputa en una práctica en el campo de fútbol Northwest Recreation Complex en Apopka, Florida, el lunes, estaba esperado detención domiciliaria, pero ahora se verá obligado a permanecer en detención de menores durante al menos las próximas 3 semanas.

Los reporteros en la audiencia en el Condado de Orange el miércoles por la mañana dijeron que el niño comenzó a llorar cuando se anunció el fallo.

Ahora se espera que esté bajo vigilancia de suicidio en el centro de detención, de acuerdo con WFTV 9.

En la audiencia, la tía de una de las presuntas víctimas del tiroteo subió al estrado y dijo que la familia del adolescente esperaba que el niño de 11 años de edad permanecería en detención

Un informe policial, obtenido por TMZ Sports, declaró que un testigo del tiroteo dijo que la disputa inicial ocurrió debido a una pelea "por una bolsa de papas fritas".

The 11-year-old youth football player accused of shooting two of his teammates earlier this week has been ordered by a judge to stay in custody for at least the next 21 days.

The boy, who cops say opened fire on two 13-year-olds following a dispute at a practice at the Northwest Recreation Complex football field in Apopka, Fla. on Monday, had hoped for home detainment ... but he will now be forced to stay in juvenile detention for at least the next 3 weeks.

Reporters at the hearing in Orange County on Wednesday morning said the child began crying when the ruling was announced.

He's now expected to be on suicide watch at the detention center ... according to WFTV 9.

At the hearing, an aunt for one of the alleged shooting victims took the stand and said the teen's family had hoped the 11-year-old would remain in detention.

A police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, stated a witness to the shooting said the initial dispute happened due to a quarrel "over a bag of chips."

An annual homecoming event at Morgan State University was marred by violence Tuesday after five people were shot and injured on campus -- and at least one gunman is still at large.

The bullets started flying in the evening after the crowning of Mister and Miss Morgan State, which happens every year at the historic Black college in Baltimore, Maryland, around this time.

Baltimore PD said officers were patrolling the grounds when they suddenly heard a burst of gunfire as attendees of the event were emptying out of an auditorium at the Murphy Arts Center to go to a coronation ball in another building nearby.

Cops warned there was an active shooter loose around the arts center and one of the dormitories -- and issued an order for everyone to shelter in place.

Moments later, officers responding to that area stumbled upon the shooting victims -- four men and one woman between the ages of 18 and 22.

The victims, four of whom were students, were rushed to a local hospital, where they were treated for non life-threatening injuries.

A SWAT team searched high and low for the gunman but came up empty-handed, as police officials noted there could be more than one assailant still on the run.

Cops also determined there was no longer an active shooter on campus and lifted the shelter in place order by early Wednesday morning.

Un evento anual de exalumnos en la Morgan State University se vio empañada por la violencia el martes, después de que cinco personas fueran baleadas y heridas en el campus. Al menos un tirador sigue en libertad.

Las balas comenzaron a escucharse tras la coronación de Mister y Miss Morgan State, que se celebra cada año por estas fechas en la histórica universidad de Baltimore (Maryland).

La policía de la ciudad dijo que los oficiales estaban patrullando los terrenos cuando escucharon una ráfaga de disparos y vieron a los asistentes vaciar el auditorio en Murphy Arts Center para dirigirse a otro baile en otro edificio cercano.

Los policías advirtieron que había un tirador activo suelto alrededor del centro de artes y uno de los dormitorios, y emitió una orden para que todos se refugiaran en su lugar.

Momentos después, los agentes que acudieron a la zona se toparon con las víctimas del tiroteo: cuatro hombres y una mujer de entre 18 y 22 años.

Las víctimas, cuatro de los cuales eran estudiantes, fueron trasladados a un hospital local, donde fueron tratados por lesiones que no ponen en peligro su vida.

Un equipo SWAT buscó por todas partes al autor de los disparos, pero no encontró nada. Los agentes de policía señalaron que podría haber más de un agresor en fuga.

También determinó que ya no había un ningún tirador activo en el campus y levantó la orden de refugio a primera hora de la mañana del miércoles.
