HE'S GOT MY VOTE!!!
TMZ.com

Maitland Ward from "Boy Meets World" says she's in costar Ben Savage's corner as he makes his run for congress ... even if it might be an uphill battle for him.

We got the actress, who played Rachel on the hit show, in Bev Hills and she had nothing but positive things to say about Ben ... adding he's always been into politics, so his drive for a seat in the House of Representatives makes sense.

She does seem kinda doubtful about him getting a W, though ... admitting it's gonna be a very tough fight. However, she has some killer Cory Matthews-themed campaign ideas to give him a leg up on the competition!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As we reported, Ben filed paperwork this month expressing interest to run for CA's 30th district, which includes parts of Los Angeles and its northern cities.

The filing came after he unsuccessfully ran for West Hollywood City Council back in November.

Maitland, who's famously transitioned into the porn industry, was all for Ben's decision to join that race, but says he might not have had enough brand recognition that time around.

CORY MATTHEWS FOR CONGRESS

Here's the question no one's asking ... would Mr. Feeny vote for Cory?!

BBC Sports Porn Audio Blares During Broadcast ... 2 Girls, 1 FA Cup 😂

SEXY SOCCER
BBC One

The BBC's broadcast of an important soccer match got super sexual ... audio from what sounds like a pornographic movie started playing ... and now the network's apologizing.

It all happened during the buildup to Tuesday's FA Cup match between Wolves and Liverpool, when BBC broadcaster Gary Lineker was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a woman having an orgasm.

Gary was barely able to contain his laughter as he told the audience, "I wasn't expecting that noise," before asking a reporter at the game a couple questions.

In the moment, Gary openly wondered about the source of the porno audio, saying ... "Somebody's sending something on someone's phone, I think. I don't know whether you heard it at home."

Yes, yes we did, Gary ... we all heard it loud and clear.

During the match, Gary tweeted a photo of a cell phone with some adhesives and captioned the post, "Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. As sabotage goes it was quite amusing."

The BBC is already apologizing "to any viewers offended during the live coverage of the football this evening" ... and a network spokesperson says BBC is investigating.

Gary referenced the incident during the halftime show, calling Liverpool's opening goal "a screamer ... which was not the only one we've had tonight." 😭

Ron Jeremy Won't Stand Trial ... Due to Dementia

Ron Jeremy is reportedly unfit to stand trial for dozens of counts of sexual assault -- including  rape -- because prosecutors have found he's suffering from clinical memory loss.

According to the LA Times, the former porn star is believed to have severe dementia ... a diagnosis reached after consultations from medical experts enlisted by both the prosecution and the defense, respectively. The report also says there's no indication he's faking either.

Now that his condition has been confirmed ... the Times says, citing an L.A. County Deputy D.A., that Jeremy will be declared incompetent as early as Jan. 17 -- which essentially stops the proceedings against him, and will likely see him being sent to a state-run hospital.

The D.A. is apparently keeping the door open for future prosecution if RJ shows improvement, but as of now ... there's no sign of that happening any time soon.

Jeremy was hit with a 30-count indictment in 2021 that included allegations from 21 different women -- all claiming he'd forced himself on them in one way or another dating back decades. The alleged victims ranged in age from 15 to 51. He pled not guilty to all of it.

Jeremy's charges represent what some said was a long overdue reckoning in the adult film industry -- where lines could easily be blurred and teeter over into criminal behavior.

Of course, the alleged victims are upset by this latest decision ... calling it justice eluded.

San Jose Police Dept. Arrest Made Months After Teen Took His Own Life ... In 'Sextortion' Case

San Jose police have made an arrest months after a teenage boy took his life -- this after being extorted for money when he sent a nude photo to someone he thought was a teen girl.

SJPD announced Monday 25-year-old Jonathan Kassi was taken into custody in Los Angeles to face charges of extortion and attempted disorderly conduct ... related to posting a photograph or recording without consent.

The cops are saying Kassi is connected to the death of 17-year-old Ryan Last -- who died by suicide in May when someone he'd been chatting with online demanded he send them $5,000 upon receiving an intimate picture they'd solicited from him or else the pics would go public.

Ryan apparently believed he was communicating with a girl his age -- and when a photo was sent to him that person asked for a similar naked photo in return, which he sent.

Once the fraudster got the photo of Ryan ... he demanded money on the threat of releasing the picture publicly among his friends and family members. Ryan didn't have anywhere near $5,000 but he did pay $150. It was at this point Ryan panicked and died by suicide.

Amid their investigation -- which ended up including the FBI -- law enforcement said they believed this was happening on a larger scale ... where crooks from overseas were tricking young people into sending compromising material, and then extorting them for quick cash.

The San Jose Crimes Against Children Task Force said they were looking into possible ties to a West African financial extortion scheme ... which could also connect to Southeast Asia.

The cops, thus far, have stopped short of explicitly connecting Kassi to any greater criminal enterprise -- but we're sure more info is due to be released as the process plays out. They're saying they suspect Kassi might've victimized other minors as well through multiple profiles.

The same day Kassi was arrested, the FBI and Dept. of Homeland Security issued a PSA about this phenomenon -- saying it was happening all across the country (mostly to boys) and that it had resulted in more than a dozen suicides. Scary stuff, to say the least.

Jesse James Wants Pregnant Wife Blocked from House ... During Divorce Proceeding

Jesse James' pregnant wife is persona non grata at the couple's former home ... at least according to Jesse, who wants a judge to block her from being allowed inside the residence.

Jesse filed his response to Bonnie Rotten's divorce petition, asking the judge permission to stay in his Austin, TX home and prevent Bonnie from entering ... at least while the divorce proceedings are ongoing.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jesse is also seeking the exclusive use and possession of any cars and motor vehicles that he owns.

As we've reported, Bonnie filed for divorce from Jesse earlier this week, but called things off just a day later, telling her followers she jumped the gun by putting Jesse on blast for allegedly cheating on her.

However, just a day later, she changed her mind ... filing for divorce once again after moving back in with Jesse.

Jesse James Pregnant Wife Files For Divorce Again ... Hours After Moving Back Home

Jesse James' wife Bonnie Rotten has changed her mind yet again, this time deciding she wants to file for divorce, only hours after announcing she was going to try to make things work with Jesse.

Bonnie filed for divorce Tuesday in Texas ... just one day after calling off her first filing -- and after she'd moved back in with Jesse.

You'll recall, the mommy-to-be took to Instagram Monday after it was reported she filed to divorce the mechanic. She backtracked on the move ... telling her followers, she jumped the gun by putting Jesse on blast for believing he was cheating on her.

She wrote, "The past week has been a pretty terrible week on all accounts ... I mistakenly posted my private business between my husband and I on social media."

She continued, "I love Jesse so much and was very hurt by what I saw when I went through his phone" ... saying she's working out the marriage "I believe in."

Well, now it seems she's no longer a believer.

We reached out to Bonnie's camp ... so far, no word back.

Jesse James Pregnant Wife Bonnie Rotten Calls Off Divorce ... Just One Day After Filing

Jesse James' wife Bonnie Rotten is apparently willing to give her marriage another shot ... because she's pulling the plug on their divorce just a day after filing.

Bonnie took to social media Monday, putting up a lengthy post about her decision ... saying, "The past week has been a pretty terrible week on all accounts" -- saying she made the mistake of posting her "private business" about Jesse online.

For those unaware, Bonnie's referring to her putting Jesse on blast for believing he was cheating on her -- and soon after, it was reported she filed to divorce the mechanic.

She confirms she did file, but says "the next day I filed a non suit to stop the divorce."

Bonnie continues, "I love Jesse so much and was very hurt by what I saw when I went through his phone" ... saying she's working out the marriage "I believe in."

She ends the post, saying she wants to be able to focus on her pregnancy "without the stress of the outside world making it more difficult."

Jon Kitna Testifies At Son's Child Porn Case Hearing ... UF QB Granted Bail

Jon Kitna was in a Florida court room on Thursday morning ... guaranteeing a judge that if his son was granted bail in his child pornography case, the former NFL star would make sure the 19-year-old returned for every required hearing going forward.

Jon wore a tie and a checkered suit for the proceedings -- which went down less than 24 hours after Jalen Kitna was arrested in Gainesville for possession of child porn -- and he ensured over and over again that he and his wife would follow every rule and regulation imposed on their son if he was released from custody Thursday.

Jon, along with his wife, emphatically told the judge that Jalen would live with them in Texas ... as long as the Florida Gators quarterback was out on pre-trial release.

The former Dallas Cowboys signal-caller's testimony apparently helped his son ... as the judge ultimately set the younger Kitna's bond at $80,000. In making the ruling, the judge ordered that Jalen must not use the Internet and must not have unsupervised contact with minors.

Jalen appeared very somber during the hearing ... at times burying his head in his hands. He said little, except for when acknowledging questions from the judge.

Court records show the teenager has been formally hit with five felony charges in the case.

As we reported, Jalen has been suspended from the Florida football team following his arrest ... with the school saying in a statement, "These are extremely serious charges and the University of Florida and the UAA have zero tolerance for such behavior."

Jalen had played in four games for the Gators this season ... and was expected to start the team's bowl game later this month if Anthony Richardson opted out of it.

The 19-year-old was just booked into jail minutes ago -- at around 3:20 PM ET.

Kanye West Allegedly Showed Nude Kim Pics to Adidas Staffers

Kanye West paraded nude photos of Kim Kardashian around the Adidas offices to staffers ... this according to former employees themselves.

Some staffers who used to work at Adidas -- assigned to the Yeezy division -- told Rolling Stone Ye showed them graphic pics of his then-wife.

One employee says Kanye showed him an explicit picture of Kim during a 2018 job interview, with KW allegedly pulling out his phone and saying, "My wife just sent me this." He goes on to say the image was super revealing and personal.

Another staffer claims Kanye showed the Yeezy creative team an explicit video of Kim that same year. Another member of that team confirmed it, telling RS Kanye wasn't afraid to show off explicit material or talk about personal matters that should've been kept private.

Some of the staffers signed an open to higher-ups at Adidas, titled "The Truth About Yeezy: A Call to Action for Adidas Leadership," in which they accused the company of turning a blind eye to abhorrent behavior.

Ye showing off NSFW material isn't that far-fetched -- the guy was filmed showing off porn to an Adidas exec for an in-house doc that aired earlier this year. You can tell the dude is shocked and uncomfortable, but Kanye insists they keep watching from his device.

Since then, Kanye has admitted to an addiction to porn ... saying he'd beat it by turning to God and declaring he'd protect his children from the same vice that once consumed him.

Neither Kanye nor Kim have responded to the story.

Pervy Arizona Republican Puts The Brakes On His Campaign ... For Masturbating Near Preschool

A Republican candidate for an Arizona college governing board has slammed the brakes on his campaign after police allegedly caught him -- red-handed -- masturbating in his truck near a preschool.

Randy Kaufman announced Tuesday he was suspending his campaign for a seat on the Maricopa County Community College Governing Board -- two weeks after he was cited for public sexual indecency.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, Kaufman was seated in his Ford truck parked near Wirtzie’s Preschool and Child Care Center in Surprise, AZ, where kids were playing outside on Oct. 4.

Kaufman was allegedly watching interracial porn -- the cop put that description in the police report -- on his cell phone while masturbating with his pants down to his thighs.

A cop on routine patrol drove up and noticed Kaufman was parked in an unusual manner across three spaces, the report said. The officer went to investigate, catching Kaufman in the act.

Embarrassed, Kaufman quickly pulled up his pants and apologized to the officer, admitting that he "f---ed up."

Under police questioning, Kaufman allegedly said he was stressed out and had pulled into the parking lot to relieve his tension. When the officer noted kids were playing nearby, Kaufman said he was only in the area to buy something.

Kaufman was cited for public sexual indecency ... instead of being arrested. He was also ordered not to trespass on the premises.

ONLYFANS STAR COURTNEY TILLIA Offers Content Training Course ... Free for Teachers!!!

Courtney Tillia, a former educator who left that career to be an OnlyFans model, is jumping back into teaching ... but the subject's way different this time, and it might help other teachers get rich.

Courtney's offered up a training course to fans before -- the difference this time is she's making it absolutely free for any educators who want to follow in her footsteps and break into the OF game.

The hour-long training course, which usually costs $30 for non-teachers, covers all the bases ... from simple things like setting up your account, to more specific struggles like creating engaging content and a unique appeal.

TIME FOR A LESSON

She also focuses on dealing with fears, objections, and insecurities about starting an OF page ... of course, Courtney knows all about the stigma that comes with the gig.

Not only does her past as a teacher help with her class, but she's made quite a name for herself since her career switch. As we reported, Courtney's racked up more than $1 mil between her 3 accounts in a little more than 3 years.

She's gotten a bunch of support from fellow educators throughout her experience. Courtney says she gets DMs from folks who say they're considering quitting teaching -- not necessarily a great trend for society, but it's a reality until teachers are paid more.

New York Congressional Race I'm Promoting Sex Positivity ... Willing to Go Deep for Your Vote!!!

Manhattan congressional candidate Mike Itkis is letting it all hang out to win votes ... releasing a sex tape to show he's got the goods to go to Washington.

Itkis is locked in battle with the long-time incumbent, Rep. Jerry Nadler. The challenger is running on a sex-positive platform, so to prove he's not all talk, he posted a 13 min video of him doing the deed with porn star Nicole Sage. He posted the vid -- titled "Bucket List Bonanza" -- on a popular porn site.

As for his bona fides ... Itkis is all about legalizing sex work, so that's how he rolls.

He told City & State, "If I would just talk about it, it wouldn’t demonstrate my commitment to the issue. And, the fact I actually did it was a huge learning experience, and it actually influenced items on my platform.”

The 53-year-old is running as a 3rd party independent ... kind of a cross between the Birthday Party and the Birthday Suit Party!

He says it's the first time he's ever had sex on camera ...  “I’m kind of a nerd who doesn’t like to be the center of attention if I can avoid it. But, I thought the issues I’m trying to address are so important… I wanted to have my issues talked about in some way.”

Politics ... it's a hard business.

Porn Star Adriana Chechik I Broke My back!!! Gnarly Landing in Shallow Foam Pit

101022-adriana-chechik-kal 10/8/22
DANGEROUS DIVE

Adult film star and Twitch streamer Adriana Chechik has a shattered back, but the injury didn't happen the way you think -- instead, she took a nasty jump into a foam pit -- one that reportedly wasn't deep enough to meet regulations.

Adriana was no match for the pit at TwitchCon in San Diego Saturday ... doing a victory leap off her platform after winning a foam jousting match against fellow streamer EdyBot.

The jump's pretty impressive, as seen from the convention's live stream ... but it's the landing that's rough -- she tries crawling out of the pit to no avail, which is when someone comes to her aid to find out what went down.

Adriana took to Twitter the next day, telling her fans, "Well, I broke my back in two places and am getting surgery to put a meter rod in for support today. Send your support."

Standard foam pits, used primarily for gymnastics, should have pit-liner foam, according to manufacturers -- this pit was reportedly less than 2 feet deep when AC had her accident.

She apparently wasn't the only one who got banged up in the pit -- someone else dislocated her knee, and tweeted ... "Be careful on this thing guys. I'm currently at the hospital seeing if I broke anything."

Feel better, Adriana -- taking 2 of these and calling in the morning won't cut it in this case.

I LOST EVERYTHING
TMZ.com

Tiffany Haddish says she's without a single job after being accused of molestation -- even though a lawsuit alleging that has been dismissed.

We got the comedian/actress Wednesday at LAX, and talked with her about Jane Doe dropping her claim TH and Aries Spears allegedly roped her and her brother into inappropriate sexual skits as children ... with an about-face statement to boot.

While it could certainly be viewed as Tiffany clearing her name, it doesn't seem she sees it that way -- because she tells our photog she's lost everything in the wake of this.

Another photog asked how she was feeling now that the saga is over ... and she said she was relieved -- noting her main concern here was the actual accuser herself, as well as her brother.

As for Aries ... Tiffany is clearly creating distance, saying she doesn't speak for him -- nor does she affiliate with him anymore.

The photog also asks if she's worried more people might come after her with allegations, and she seems defiant ... telling him if anyone does, whatever they might say is fake.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

You'll recall ... Tiffany and Aries were accused of including these kids in filmed sketches -- one in which Tiffany allegedly had the girl imitate fellatio on a sandwich and another in which her brother was allegedly the subject of a pedophile's fantasy, played by Aries.

Tiffany denied it at first, calling it a shakedown -- but later, she expressed regret for her role.

Tiffany Haddish & Aries Spears Child Molestation Suit Dismissed ... Jane Doe Speaks Out

Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears are no longer fighting a child molestation lawsuit against them ... because we've learned the Jane Doe who filed suit has now dismissed it for good.

Per new court docs, obtained by TMZ, the plaintiff asked the judge to dismiss the case with prejudice ... meaning it cannot be refiled again. You'll recall the case involved allegations the 2 comedians groomed and molested 2 children several years ago.

The woman who sued both of them has also issued a statement, saying ... "My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years – and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us. We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us."

The Jane Doe did not have anything to say about Aries in her remarks -- who was also accused of some pretty heinous stuff in the suit -- but he's also in the clear.

In the lawsuit, the alleged victim claimed both she and her younger brother were used by Tiffany and Aries to film scenes/skits that, when looking back, were wildly inappropriate -- and which Jane Doe suggested was meant to sexualize them.

Jane Doe alleged Tiffany had her film a scene where she simulated oral sex with a sandwich -- and also claimed her brother was used for a skit with Aries in which he was the subject of a pedophile's fantasy.

At first, Tiffany and Aries called the whole thing a shakedown, vowing to prove their innocence. However, TH later said she regretted being part of the sketch.
