Cam Newton is finally speaking out about his viral violent altercation at a 7v7 youth football tournament ... holding himself accountable and admitting things never should have turned physical.

The former NFL MVP addressed the elephant in the room on his '4th and 1' podcast on Friday ... and he backs up what Top Shelf Performance coaches TJ and Steph Brown said earlier this week -- it all stemmed from some trash talk.

Cam claims both sides exchanged triggering words prior to the scuffle ... but he's owning up to the fact he shouldn't have put himself in that position to begin with.

"There's no excuse," the former Panthers star said. "It's really not, 'cause it could've been a melee, more violence could've stemmed from that and it's just not called for. And on top of that, it's echoing something that's been permeating for years -- black people. Why it gotta be at a black event? You know what I'm saying? And I can easily play the victim and I'm not going to do that."

Cam understands the gravity of the situation ... and is thankful things did not get more serious.

Ultimately, Cam said he needs to use his platform to have a positive influence on the next wave of athletes.

"I have to use my power to empower the next generation," he added. "That's all I wanna do. I wanna use what I've been through as information to change the narrative because to be honest, these are a lot of children's way out of their situation."

"They don't have lawyers to look up to. They don't have counselors to look up to. They see street n****s, they see people who are rapping and they see athletes as people that they look up to."

As we previously reported, Cam and the Browns -- who used to coach with the QB -- got into the physical altercation during the 7v7 youth football tournament in Atlanta on Sunday.

A "Saturday Night Live" comedy trio is taking credit for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance -- but only if it goes the distance ... otherwise, they want nothing to do with it.

The topic of Traylor kickstarted when comics Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy -- who make up Please Don't Destroy on 'SNL' -- spilled the beans on working with Tay Tay.

They told host Mike Birbiglia on the 'Working It Out' podcast the star told them she had watched Travis' 'SNL' episode before they first met and she liked what she saw.

Ben added that Taylor told them she thought Travis seemed super funny in the clip ... saying that it was in that moment that they kinda, sorta brought them together.

However, Ben shared some serious reservations about taking credit for the Traylor romance -- only 'cause of Taylor's army of devoted fans, the Swifties.

He said that if things were to ever go south between the pair ... they'd be the ones getting roasted over the coals for it.

Travis, of course, got in on the action hosting 'SNL' in March 2023 -- about six months before he went public with Taylor. It's interesting ... they're saying this is when Travis first fell onto Taylor's radar -- but whether she was actually interested or not ... well, anyone's guess.

Travis also appeared in a pre-taped sketch written by Please Don't Destroy, where he played a hilarious self-defense instructor named Kurt Lightning ... so yeah, they have 'SNL' history.

Kelly Osbourne dice que una de las mayores peleas que tuvo con su novio tuvo que ver con el apellido de su hijo.

La famosa hija de Ozzy y Sharon Osbourne se abrió sobre la enorme discusión con su hombre, Sid Wilson, en "The Osbournes Podcast", diciéndole a sus padres que su pareja no quería que su hijo Sidney tuviera sus dos apellidos cuando nació en 2022.

Kelly dice que ella y Sid -con quien ha estado desde principios de 2022- no podían llegar a un acuerdo respecto a darle a su hijo los dos apellidos, y al final, parece que Kelly lo convenció, porque que Sidney es un Osbourne.

Dijo que ella y Sid siguien adelante, pero puede que nunca sea capaz de perdonar a Wilson por haber sido tan cerrado. Así que sí, el asunto dejó sus cicatrices.

Pero hay luz al final del túnel... Osbourne dijo que ella y Wilson han estado hablando mucho y asisten a terapia de pareja, y afirma que él está entendiendo su punto de vista.

Kelly añadió que la pareja planea cambiar el nombre de su hijo para incluir los apellidos de ambos, una decisión inteligente de acuerdo con sus padres, quienes señalaron lo beneficioso que será el apellido Osbourne para el futuro del niño.

Después de todo, un montón de gente en Hollywood utiliza sus conexiones familiares para reservar puestos de trabajo -incluyendo a Kelly, quien recientemente dijo que estaba orgullosa de su apellido".

Kelly le dijo a Rolling Stone en enero que estaba orgullosa de los logros de sus padres, y que no tenía ningún problema en ser asociada con ellos, aunque añadió que no cree que las oportunidades deban caer en su regazo debido a sus lazos familiares.

Kelly Osbourne says one of the biggest fights she had with her baby daddy all had to do with their kid's surname ... and it sounds like it's a fight she eventually backed down from.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's famous daughter opened up about the huge argument with her man, Sid Wilson, on "The Osbournes Podcast" ... telling her parents her partner didn't want their son Sidney to have both their last names when he was born in 2022.

Kelly says she and Sid -- who she's been with since early 2022 -- couldn't see eye to eye about giving their son two last names, and ultimately it appears Kelly capitulated ... 'cause she says Sidney isn't an Osbourne in name.

Osbourne said she and Sid are moving on ... but that she also may never truly be able to forgive Wilson for seemingly forcing this decision upon her. So yeah, harsh feelings linger.

There is light at the end of the name tunnel though ... Osbourne said she and Wilson have been talking a lot -- and attending couples therapy -- and she says he's seeing her side of things.

Kelly added that the couple plans on changing their son's name to include both of their last names ... a smart move according to her parents who pointed out how beneficial the Osbourne name will be for the kid's future.

After all ... lots of people in Hollywood use their famous family connections to book jobs -- including Kelly, who recently said she was proud to wear the "nepo baby" moniker.

Kelly told Rolling Stone back in January she was proud of her parents' accomplishments, and she had no issue being associated with them -- though she added she doesn't think opportunities should fall in her lap because of her family ties.

Elle Macpherson está llegando a los 60, pero la supermodelo nunca ha estado mejor, y parte de su secreto para mantenerse joven es ir a la cama desnuda.

Elle, que cumplirá 60 años en marzo, reveló algunos de sus consejos de belleza privados a medida que envejece durante una entrevista este viernes con la presentadora Amanda Wakeley en el podcast "Style DNA".

La modelo de pasarelas, conocida por sus espléndidas portadas en trajes de baño de Sports Illustrated en los 80, dijo que es imprescindible dormir al menos 8 horas cada noche, y en cueros.

Elle dijo: "Me voy a la cama con una sonrisa. Me voy a la cama con el corazón contento. Y un antifaz. ... Sin ropa. Mi piel".

Es bueno saberlo. Pero Elle no explicó por qué dormir así la mantiene joven y ágil.

También dijo que se mantiene alejada de la cafeína y que come su última comida a las 5 pm todos los días antes de relajarse con un chocolate caliente y luego dar por terminada la noche.

Elle se despierta con una alarma a las 5 AM cada mañana, sonríe y luego hace 25 minutos de meditación en la cama para preservar su mente, cuerpo y espíritu.

Luego se sube a su bicicleta y va a la playa, donde se da un chapuzón en el mar. Después de eso, Elle comienza sus ejercicios de yoga al amanecer, antes de hacer un poco más de natación y ciclismo, así como senderismo.

También va al sauna de infrarrojos, donde calienta su cuerpo con lámparas de calor en lugar de vapor. Por cierto, Elle, por si no lo sabías, fue apodada "El Cuerpo" en sus mejores tiempos como modelo.

También se da baños fríos para aliviar los músculos doloridos y reducir la inflamación después de un entrenamiento.

Elle Macpherson is pushing the "Big 6-OH" ... but the supermodel has never looked better, and part of her secret to staying youthful is going to bed buck naked!

Elle, who will turn 60 in March, revealed some of her private beauty tips as she ages during a Friday interview with host Amanda Wakeley on the podcast, 'Style DNA.'

The catwalker, known for her splashy 1980s Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers, said it's imperative to get at least 8 hours shuteye each night, and in the buff.

Elle said, "I go to bed with a smile. I go to bed with a happy heart. And an eye mask. ... No clothes. My skin."

Good to know. But Elle didn't explain why sleeping in the buff keeps her young and spry.

She also said she stays away from caffeine while eating her final meal each day at 5 p.m. before settling down with a hot chocolate and then calling it a night.

When Elle wakes up to an alarm at 5 AM every morning, she grins and then does 25 minutes of in-bed meditation to preserve her mind, body, and spirit.

Then she hops on her bicycle and rides to the beach, where she takes a dip in the ocean. After that, Elle starts her yoga exercises at sunrise, before moving on to some more swimming and cycling, as well as hiking.

She also treats herself to infrared saunas, warming her body using heat lamps instead of steam. By the way, Elle, if you didn't know, was dubbed "The Body" in her prime as a model.

Elle will go for a cold plunge as well to ease her sore muscles and decrease inflammation after a workout.

Sean Evans' ex, Melissa Stratton, says he dumped her once the world caught wind that he was dating a porn star -- something she says he was cool with at first ... but changed his mind later on.

We talked to the model/adult film actress Friday in L.A. just ahead of a podcast she was heading into at the No Jumper store -- more on that later -- and our photog chopped it up with her to get the story on what exactly happened between her and the "Hot Ones" host ... who's quite private.

According to Melissa ... things were going swimmingly between her and Sean for at least a couple months, and she says they were having a great time together as a new couple.

We even asked her about the Super Bowl -- where she was posting tons of pics of him that weekend -- and MS says they were actually going around introducing each other to friends at that point ... which makes the split all the more sucky, 'cause she says she liked him.

As for why things fell apart ... Melissa says her work in the porn biz was ultimately to blame -- and more specifically, how her being in that industry would affect his image.

The way she tells it ... he had a little bit of a flip-flop in opinion over whether he was actually okay with her past and current line of work. Melissa claims he was on board at the beginning -- but suggests that once their relationship fell into the public eye ... he got skittish, which she gets and has no hard feelings about.

Sean, of course, hasn't said crap about it all ... and his team hasn't gotten back to us either.

"The Joe Budden Podcast" argued Kanye West's rapping on his "Vultures 1" album left a lot to be desired ... but all the guest rappers stole the show in their opinion, especially Freddie Gibbs!!!

On episode 699 "TherapIsh," Joe Budden dinged Ye's performances on the entire project by calling his efforts "bad, bad rapping" ... but he and the 'JBP' crew were unanimously impressed with Freddie's contribution on the track "Back To Me."

They crowned Freddie's verse the best out of the bunch on the album but feel everyone pretty much did their thing lyrically 'cept for Ye ... at least his beats were on point!!!

Despite the mixed reviews, the album still has buzz in the streets. On Thursday, Freddie posted a vid of himself in Italy ahead of tonight's listening sesh inside the Milan Forum ... and the album still is sitting pretty at #1 on the Billboard Albums chart.

Bobbi Althoff says she and her estranged husband have settled their divorce just weeks after news of their filing broke -- and yes, it was pretty freaking fast.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Bobbi claims she and Cory Althoff have "reached a global marital settlement agreement" and have resolved any issues related to property rights.

BA asked for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, but there are no further details about the settlement in the docs. She also checked the box requesting they pay their own attorney's fees.

Remember ... Cory filed for divorce earlier this month after about four years of marriage.

They both cited irreconcilable differences, asked for joint legal and physical custody, and wanted to block the court's ability to award spousal support.

Seems like the exes are on the same page ... a somewhat rare sight in Hollywood divorces. But, it makes sense given the reasons we're hearing the couple decided to call it quits.

Sources told us Bobbi's fame didn't jibe with Cory's desire to live a more normal, low-key kinda life. We were also told the split had nothing to do with cheating allegations that blew up after Bobbi interviewed Drake while lying in bed together.

While their divorce isn't finalized -- a judge has yet to sign off -- it seems it's only a matter of time before it becomes official.

Bobbi Althoff dice que ella y su ex marido han resuelto su divorcio solo unas semanas después de que se supiera la noticia de su separación, y sí es curiosamente rápido.

Según documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Bobbi afirma que ella y Cory Althoff han "llegado a un acuerdo matrimonial global" y han resuelto todas las cuestiones relacionadas con los derechos de propiedad.

Bobbi pidió la custodia legal y física conjunta de los dos hijos de la pareja, aunque no hay más detalles sobre el acuerdo en los documentos. También marcó la casilla para solicitar que se paguen los honorarios de sus propios abogados.

Recuerden, Cory le pidió el divorcio a principios de este mes después de unos cuatro años de matrimonio.

Ambos citaron diferencias irreconciliables, pidieron la custodia legal y física conjunta y querían bloquear la capacidad del tribunal para conceder la manutención del cónyuge.

Parece que los ex están en sintonía, algo raro en los divorcios de Hollywood. Pero tiene sentido dadas las razones que la pareja ha dado para poner fin a todo.

Las fuentes nos dijeron que la fama de Bobbi no encajaba con el deseo de Cory de vivir una vida más normal y discreta. También nos dijeron que la separación no tenía nada que ver con los rumores de engaño que estallaron después de que Bobbi entrevistara a Drake mientras estaban juntos en la cama.

Aunque que su divorcio aún no está completo, un juez aún tiene que firmar, parece que es solo cuestión de tiempo para que se haga oficial.

Johnny Manziel says he withered from 210 pounds all the way down to 170 just months after his NFL career ended ... explaining his body morphed due to "a strict diet of blow."

The former Heisman Trophy winner opened up about his struggles following his Cleveland playing days during a recent, two-hour interview with Shannon Sharpe.

In the chat on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast ... Manziel admitted he was at nearly rock bottom once he had failed the Browns in 2015 at 23 years old -- so he turned to the Las Vegas party scene to pick him up.

Apparently, his trip to Sin City included a lot of cocaine ... something he says changed his figure into an unrecognizable one.

"At that point in time, man," Manziel said, "I would look in a mirror and I didn't see myself any different than when I was in Cleveland. Until I stepped on a scale at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, I didn't realize I had lost 40 pounds at all."

"I remember these pictures came out," he continued. "I was like, 'Damn. What am I doing? Ah, whatever, we'll figure that out later. Let's go again.'"

Manziel said in addition to coke, he was also using OxyContin and Percocets.

Johnny Football went on to lament other parts of his life in his talk with Sharpe -- including his strained relationship with LeBron James.

After Cleveland had drafted the Texas A&M QB, LeBron signed him to his agency ... and throughout his time with the Browns, Manziel said the NBA superstar tried to take him under his wing. But, while battling poor play and subsequent depression, he said he pushed the hooper away.

"LeBron would text me every week to come over to the house and watch a game or play poker with the boys and just tried to be there," Manziel said. "And I was so depressed for the first time in my life that even my biggest role model and inspiration in my life couldn't get me out of bed to come and hang out with him."

Manziel added that he still feels to this day he let the future basketball Hall of Famer down.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Meghan Markle has signed a new deal to produce a podcast series with Lemonada Media after the $20 million Spotify agreement failed last year.

Taylor Swift reportedly touched down in Melbourne, Australia to resume her tour, disappointing Kansas City fans who eagerly anticipated an appearance at the Chiefs' celebration parade.

Speaking of Taylor ... Kanye West is denying the rumor that Swift "kicked" him out of the Super Bowl after he bought tickets in front of her.

Plus, Todd and Julie Chrisley are prohibited from contacting each other on Valentines Day amid their lengthy prison stays! 😬

It's clear to Jason Kelce that his brother, Travis, is completely smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying this week that the two are "people in love."

The Chiefs tight end's big bro slipped the comment in during the latest episode of "New Heights" ... while talking about the massive party everyone had following Kansas City's Super Bowl win on Sunday in Las Vegas.

Travis and Jason were laughing about how the elder Kelce lost his mind after discovering a Chiefs-colored luchador mask on a dance floor ... before they started talking about how hysterical it looked on him while they were at XS Nightclub.

Travis brought up one scene from the party in particular ... when he was with Swift on the side of the stage while Jason was in the DJ booth with Marshmello, waving his arms around like a mad man.

Travis couldn't stop giggling about it -- and that's when Jason dropped the L-word into the convo.

"On this side," Jason said of the now viral video of the situation, "two people in love and enjoying the moment together -- panning to a complete Neanderthal who is no longer connected with modern-day society."

Travis didn't remotely attempt to deny any of it ... chuckling through it all.

Of course, Jason is confirming what we had already known ... as hot mics caught Travis telling Taylor following the AFC Championship Game last month, "I love you."

Menos de un año después de que Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry pusieran fin a su acuerdo de 20 millones de dólares con Spotify, la misma Meghan le está dando otra oportunidad a la industria de los podcast.

La duquesa de Sussex ha firmado un acuerdo con Lemonada Media, la compañía detrás de "Wiser Than Me con Julia Louis-Dreyfus", para una nueva serie de podcast, sin título aún.

Eso no es todo. "Archetypes", el antiguo podcast de Meghan Markle también viene con ella a su nueva casa, quienes distribuirán sus antiguos capítulos a través de todas sus redes para que puedan tener acceso a un público más amplio, además de su próximo show.

Meghan está entusiasmada con la asociación y dice que está orgullosa de continuar su amor por el podcasting. Añade: "Ser capaz de apoyar a una empresa fundada por mujeres con podcasts entretenidos y que inviten a la reflexión es una manera fantástica de dar inicio al 2024."

Y continuó: "Nuestro plan es reeditar Archetypes para que más gente pueda tener acceso a él, así como lanzar un nuevo y dinámico podcast, ambos muy avanzados. Estoy ansiosa por poder compartirlo pronto y encantada de unirme a la familia Lemonada".

Por su parte, la directora ejecutiva de Lemonada, Jessica Cordova Kramer, dice que es un honor que Meghan haya confiado en ellos para ayudar a democratizar el acceso a "Archetypes". También dice que están impresionados por su espíritu de colaboración, su visión y un profundo deseo de construir compasión y comunidad a través de este trabajo.

Se acordarán que en junio de 2023, el duque y la duquesa de Sussex (citando a su compañía de producción, Archewell Audio) y Spotify dijeron que "acordaban separarse mutuamente y estaban orgullosos de la serie que hicieron juntos."

Hubo diversos informes en cuanto a la razón exacta detrás de la separación. Algunos dijeron que M&H no pudieron generar suficiente contenido para pagar los $20M a Spotify.

Mientras tanto, la agencia de talentos de MM, WME, dijo que la razón fue porque ella estaba ocupada produciendo más podcasts para sus fans de "Archetypes" en una plataforma diferente. Esta última explicación ahora parece estar tomando forma.

Meg lanzó "Archetypes" en 2020 después de que, según los informes, firmara un acuerdo de varios años con Spotify para producir el programa en forma de audio.

Less than a year after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry called it quits on their $20M Spotify deal ... she herself is giving it another go in the podcast game.

The Duchess of Sussex has inked a deal with Lemonada Media -- the company behind "Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus" -- for a new, untitled podcast series.

That's not all ... MM's "Archetypes" is actually coming with her to her new podcast home -- Lemonada will be distributing her old pod to all other networks for access to a broader audience, in addition to her forthcoming show.

Meghan gushes about the partnership ... saying she's proud to continue her love for podcasting and adding, "Being able to support a female-founded company with a roster of thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024."

She continued, "Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast are well in the works. I'm so eager to be able to share it soon, and am overjoyed to be joining the Lemonada family."

On their end, Lemonada's CEO Jessica Cordova Kramer says their beyond honored Meghan has trusted them to help democratize access to "Archetypes." They also mention they're blown away by her collaborative spirit, clear vision, and a deep desire to build compassion and community through this work.

You'll recall ... in June 2023, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (citing their production company, Archewell Audio) and Spotify said in a joint statement they "mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."

There were varying reports as to the exact reason behind the partnership's end -- some said M&H failed to generate enough content for Spotify to payout their $20M payday.

Meanwhile, MM's talent agency WME said the reason was 'cause she was busy cranking out more podcasts for her "Archetypes" fans on a different platform -- the latter explanation now seems to be taking shape.

Meg launched "Archetypes" in 2020 after reportedly signing a multi-year deal with Spotify to produce the show in audio form.

Andrew Keegan está abordando los rumores de que era el líder de una secta, descartando la suposición como una noticia hecha para obtener clics. También dice que lo único que hizo fue fomentar una comunidad relajada para que la gente se reuniera.

La estrella de "10 cosas que odio de ti" hizo las declaraciones en "Pod Meets World", explicando que decidió iniciar un centro comunitario llamado Full Circle en 2014 para hacer cosas positivas después de sumergirse profundamente en la cultura de Venice Beach cuando se mudó al barrio cuando tenía 30 años.

Sin embargo, sus intenciones han sido malinterpretadas o eso es lo que Andrew Keegan está diciendo. Explica que se sorprendió cuando vio que había sido ungido como líder de un culto por los medios de entonces, después de que varios periodistas lo visitaran para ver qué actividades extracurriculares estaba haciendo en medio de su carrera como actor.

No mucho después, salió a la luz un sorprendente artículo de Vice titulado: "Una de las estrellas de "10 cosas que odio de ti" fundó una religión". En el artículo, el periodista afirmaba que Andrew era reconocido como el líder y la persona que tenía la "última palabra sobre todas las cosas", añadiendo que fueron recibidos por un hombre llamado Tercer Ojo y se toparon con un círculo íntimo de los miembros "iluminados".

Ahora Andrew dice que podría haberse preparado un poco mejor para lidiar con los medios de comunicación en ese entonces, pero es firme en decir que no fue el líder de ningún culto en el pasado. De hecho, dice que era todo lo contrario. La comunidad simplemente era un lugar para que las personas se reunieran y pasaran un buen rato.

No hace falta decir que Andrew todavía recuerda su tiempo en Full Circle con cariño, aunque dice que lo único que lamenta en retrospectiva es el nombre del grupo.

El actor reconoce que la comunidad podría haber dado lugar a algunas malas interpretaciones, a pesar de que su mensaje era bastante inocente, según él
