Reality TV

Taylor Hale, la primera mujer negra en ganar "Gran Hermano", dice que el espectáculo sin duda tiene un problema de racismo, pero cree que hay una manera más fácil de lidiarlo con ello que simplemente cancelándolo.

Hablamos con la ganadora del reality show, que se llevó a casa un premio en efectivo de 800 mil dólares el año pasado en Los Ángeles, sobre lo que ha sido un tema recurrente en Gran Hermano últimamente. Esto es, que los concursantes blancos siguen diciendo cosas problemáticas sobre sus compañeros negros, año tras año.

Taylor dice que definitivamente es consciente de esa tendencia, pero no cree que sea un problema exclusivo de la famosa serie de CBS. Por el contrario, piensa que simplemente representa un microcosmos de la sociedad estadounidense.

Curiosamente, Taylor Hale tampoco cree que el racismo y/o las microagresiones de las que fue víctima en varias ocasiones sean un pecado capital en sí mismos en el contexto de la serie. De hecho, Taylor dice que es una táctica estratégica que se podría utilizar para ganar.

Sin embargo, lo que realmente le molesta es cuando son criticados y ellos intentan negar su mal comportamiento. En su opinión, si la gente admitiera su mala conducta, como parte de la competencia, probablemente saldrían relativamente ilesos.

Es una idea fascinante ... Básicamente, Taylor suena bastante realista, señalando que el racismo existe absolutamente, pero también que las personas mostrando sus verdaderos colores en el show no son tanto el problema como Twitter quiere que lo sea.

Cada caso es distinto, por supuesto. A veces los concursantes dicen o hacen cosas que son realmente reprochables y cuando lo hacen, son expulsados lo antes posible. Taylor dice que Gran Hermano maneja todo esto bastante bien.

Taylor Hale -- the first Black woman to win "Big Brother" -- says the show certainly has a racism problem, but thinks there's an easier way to deal with it besides outright canceling.

We talked to the reality show winner, who took home an $800k cash prize last year, in L.A. about what she made of a recurring theme on 'BB' lately ... namely, white contestants continuing to say problematic things about fellow Black competitors year in and year out.

Taylor says she's definitely aware of that trend but doesn't think it's unique to the famous CBS series. On the contrary, she says it's simply a microcosm of American society.

Interestingly enough ... TH also doesn't think the racism and/or microaggressions -- of which she fell victim to on several occasions -- are a cardinal sin in and of themselves in the context of the show. In fact, Taylor says it's a strategic tactic that could be used to win.

What she does take issue with, however, is when people get called out for it ... only to try and deny any wrongdoing. In her eyes, if folks just owned their bad behavior and chalked it up to competition ... they'd probably come out on the other side relatively unscathed.

It's a fascinating take ... basically, Taylor sounds like a realist here -- noting that racism absolutely exists, but also pointing out that people showing their true biased colors in the course of the show isn't as big a deal as Twitter makes it out to be each season.

Case by case, of course ... sometimes contestants say/do things that are actually cancelable -- and when they do, they're booted ASAP. Taylor says 'BB' handles all this well enough.

Kim Kardashian sabe cómo atraer a una gran multitud, y sobre todo, a una lista de invitados aún más grande, ya que algunas de las celebridades de más alto perfil estuvieron presente en el gran evento de colaboración entre SKIMS y Swarovski.

El evento de Kim se llevó a cabo en Nueva York el martes, en la apertura de la nueva tienda de la marca de joyas en la Quinta Avenida, y la gran apertura se duplicó con la celebración de su reciente acuerdo con la marca de moda de Kim.

Kim llevaba un brillante y revelador top de cristal, con una falda a juego, que en la parte superior revelaba un par de boxeadores Swarovski x SKIMS. También apareció en un taxi brillante y personalizado con los logotipos de la marca, siguiendo con el tema de la noche.

Entre los famosos estuvieron Billy Porter, Lake Bell, La La Anthony, Ashley Graham, Jasmine Tookes, Teyana Taylor, Madelaine Petsch, Georgia May Jagger y muchos más.

Incluso la coprotagonista de Kim en "American Horror Story", Emma Roberts, hizo una aparición, tomándose una noche libre para apoyar a su amiga.

SKIMS parece seguir subiendo y subiendo, a pesar de que ya parece dominar la industria de la moda. Recientemente, lanzó una línea solo para hombres y la compañía se convirtió en el socio oficial de ropa interior de la NBA.

Kim Kardashian knows how to draw a big crowd, and an even bigger guest list ... calling on some high-profile celebs to show up at her big collab between SKIMS and Swarovski.

KK's event went down in NYC Tuesday, at the opening of the jewelry company's new store on Fifth Ave ... and the grand opening doubled as a celebration of its recent team-up with Kim's fashion brand.

Kim wore a shiny -- and revealing -- crystal top, with a skirt to match ... which was on top of a pair of her Swarovski x SKIMS boxers. She also showed up in a sparkling, custom taxi with the brand's logos on it, sticking with the night's theme.

Kim certainly had backup star power ... Serena Williams, Jeremy Pope, Billy Porter, Lake Bell, La La Anthony, Ashley Graham, Jasmine Tookes, Teyana Taylor, Madelaine Petsch, Georgia May Jagger and more all pulled up to the big event.

Even Kim's "American Horror Story" costar, Emma Roberts, made an appearance -- taking a night off from being a scream queen to support her pal.

SKIMS seems to keep moving up and up, despite already appearing to dominate the fashion industry -- she recently launched a line just for men, and the company became the NBA's official underwear partner.

Los problemas de Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann parecen no terminar nunca. La policía recibió un llamado por un supuesto casi accidente entre el perro de la pareja y un niño.

De acuerdo con un informe, obtenido por TMZ, la policía recibió una llamada la semana pasada de una mujer que dijo que el perro de Kim y Kroy estaba fuera sin su correa, y la mujer afirmó que este no era el primer encuentro con el perro.

La persona que llamó dijo que el perro "casi atacó a sus hijos" el mes pasado, y le dijo a los oficiales que el perro los persiguió, pero afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido.

Teniendo en cuenta lo que supuestamente pasó, la persona que llamó dijo que ver al perro vagando sin correa era preocupante, ya que el perro es "super agresivo y poco confiable".

Los perros de Kim y Kroy  —Stone y Sinn— fueron el tema de discusión en un grupo de Facebook. Un padre preocupado dijo que un perro había tratado de "atacar" a su hijo mientras montaba un scooter.

La gente se unió y dijo: "Por lo general, el perro de la pareja está detrás de la puerta en el patio delantero, pero a veces su puerta de entrada está abierta".

A propósito, Sinn mordió a su hijo, Kash, allá por 2017 y casi lo deja ciego.

9:39 AM PT -- A source close to Kim Zolciak says the police never spoke to Kim and Kroy Biermann after the report was made, and the reporting person allegedly doesn't even live in the neighborhood.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are in the doghouse with law enforcement yet again ... after some pissed-off neighbors called the cops after one of the estranged couple's dogs nearly attacked a kid.

Alpharetta, GA cops got a call last week about the Biermann dog from a woman who said it was off its leash ... the woman claimed this wasn't the first problem with the dog.

The caller told dispatch the dog "almost attacked her kids" last month, telling officers the pooch chased them -- but thankfully, no one was injured.

Given what allegedly went down, the caller said seeing the dog roaming without a leash was concerning, telling dispatch the dog is "super aggressive and never confined."

Kim and Kroy's dogs -- Stone and Sinn -- were apparently the topic of discussion in a Facebook group as well -- with a conversation posted on IG account @Thegoodthebadandthefake6 concerned parent saying a dog had tried to "tackle and attack" their kid, who was riding a scooter.

Folks chimed in, pointing the finger at the estranged couple and saying -- "It may be [Kim and Kroy's] dog. He is usually behind the gate in the front yard, but sometimes their driveway gate is open."

BTW, Sinn bit their son, Kash, back in 2017 ... nearly blinding him.

But the dogs are obviously not Kim and Kroy's only problems ... as we reported, local cops have been called a couple of times to their home, and body cam footage from August showed how unpleasant things have gotten in their house recently.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are on their way home from the hospital nearly a week after she first went in to give birth.

Check out this photo of the couple leaving Cedars-Sinai in L.A. Tuesday -- with the Blink-182 drummer playing chauffeur to Kourtney. No clear shot of their little one, Rocky with them -- we're not sure if he's in the backseat or not.

In any case, it's a good sign that Kourtney's finally been discharged ... assuming she went in last Tuesday -- which jibes with them wanting a Halloween baby.

We saw Travis head back to Cedars Monday after arriving Friday. Remember, there were glimpses of other family members -- including Kylie -- visiting as recently as Thursday. We aren't certain about what day Kourtney popped ... but we confirmed the baby was born.

Kourtney and TB haven't publicly addressed the delivery of Rocky just yet, but he marks the first child Kourtney and Travis have had together ... of course, they each have children from previous relationships -- with Scott Disick and Shanna Moakler.

Their romance has been nothing short of eventful since they first hooked up ... and now, they're ready to begin a new chapter of their lives with a family of their own.

Lady Gaga tiene el mundo a sus pies en este momento, pero no está recibiendo ningún "aplauso" de una antigua compañera de universidad, Carly Waddell, quien afirma que el comportamiento de la cantante la "volvía loca".

Carly también es cantante, aunque es más conocida por sus famosas citas televisivas, y en el podcast de Jason Tartick "Trading Secrets" reveló que "no era fan" de Gaga cuando estudiaban en la Tisch School of the Arts de la Universidad de Nueva York.

De acuerdo con Carly, Gaga, que en ese entonces iba por su nombre real Stefani, hacía caso omiso de las normas de convivencia básicas de la hora del almuerzo, cantando "Wicked" a todo pulmón en el piano, mientras otros intentaban comer en paz, y eso pasaba ... todos los días.

Carly dijo: "Era la hora del recreo y nos veíamos obligados a escucharla", lo que le resultaba tan irritante que empezó a comer en el pasillo solo para huir del canto de Gaga.

Pero, ¿su talento para las artes escénicas la situaba por encima de los demás en clase? Carly dice que no, pero que con varios Grammys, un Oscar y muchos otros galardones en su haber, reconoce que Gaga está por encima de todos los demás AHORA.

Lady Gaga has the world at her feet now, but she's getting no "Applause" from a former college classmate -- Carly Waddell claims the singer's behavior would "drive her crazy."

"Bachelor" alum Carly is also a singer -- though she's more known for her TV dating conquests -- and while on ex-"Bachelor" star Jason Tartick's podcast, "Trading Secrets," she revealed she was "not a fan" of Gaga back when they were both attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

Case in point ... Carly said that Gaga -- who went by her real name, Stefani, back then -- would dismiss basic lunchtime etiquette, singing "Wicked" at the top of her lungs while on the piano as others tried to eat in peace ... every single day.

Carly said, "It was break time, and we were forced to listen to her" ... which she found so irritating, she started eating her lunch in the hallway just to flee Gaga's singing.

But did Gaga's flair for performing arts put her above everyone else in class? Carly says no ... but with Grammys, an Academy Award & many more accolades under her belt, she acknowledges that Gaga is NOW above everyone else.

Kroy Biermann's failure to respond to a repo case filed against him has finally reached its breaking point -- 'cause a judge just ruled he's gotta fork over his Rolls-Royce.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, the former NFLer had a default judgment entered against him over the luxury car ... which he'd been leasing since 2020. BMW alleged he'd recently ghosted them on payments ... and filed a lawsuit so it could repossess the sweet ride.

Now, after months of no reply from Kroy ... a judge has signed off in favor of BMW, ordering Kroy to surrender possession of the Rolls stat.

In the judge's order, KB is instructed to hand over the vehicle to law enforcement in Fulton County where he lives so BMW can reclaim it.

It's unclear what Kroy's gonna do ... considering he hasn't uttered a peep in his defense in this case -- something tells us a tow truck might be pulling up to his crib in the near future ... and haul the car away.

Remember, BMW claimed Kroy had agreed to a 3-year lease with them -- from 2020 to 2023 -- and would pay $5,297.64/month ... for a total of $190k. However, the company alleged he'd stopped paying altogether -- with them saying the last sign of dough arrived in Sept. 2022.

Kroy's attorney spoke to us when this suit was first filed ... and the response was very much, it is what it is. Kroy acknowledges he's in dire financial straits right now amid his ongoing divorce with Kim Zolciak -- and it sounds like he's got bigger fish to fry besides a Rolls.

Their fancy house, for example, comes to mind ... with the bank moving towards foreclosure and Kim/Kroy trying to sell it off first in hopes of recouping some cash to handle the rest of their affairs.

With everything else going on in Kroy's life at the moment, he can afford to lose the Rolls.

El fracaso de Kroy Biermann en el caso de repo presentado en su contra finalmente ha llegado a su punto límite, porque un juez acaba de dictaminar que tiene que entregar su Rolls-Royce.

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, el ex NFL tenía una sentencia en rebeldía contra él sobre el carro de lujo que había estado alquilando desde 2020. BMW alegó que había problemas con los pagos y presentó una demanda para que pudiera recuperar el lujoso carro.

Ahora, luego de meses sin respuesta de Kroy, un juez ha firmado a favor de BMW, ordenando Kroy a entregar la posesión del Rolls.

En la orden del juez, Kroy tiene instrucciones de entregar el vehículo a las fuerzas del orden en el condado de Fulton, donde vive para que BMW pueda reclamarlo.

No está claro lo que va a hacer Kroy, teniendo en cuenta que no ha pronunciado ni pío en su defensa en este caso. Algo nos dice una grúa podría aparecer en un futuro próximo llevándose el preciado carro lejos de él.

Recuerde, BMW afirmó que Kroy había acordado un contrato de arrendamiento de tres años con ellos  —de 2020 a 2023— y pagaría 5.297.64 de dólares al mes, por un total de 190k. Sin embargo, la compañía alegó que había dejado de pagar por completo - con ellos diciendo que el último signo de la masa llegó en septiembre de 2022.

El abogado de Kroy habló con nosotros cuando esta demanda fue presentada por primera vez y la respuesta fue más bien en la onda "es lo que es". Kroy reconoce que está en graves apuros financieros en medio de su divorcio en curso con Kim Zolciak y suena como que tiene aún más cosas que proteger.

Su casa de lujo es un buen ejemplo... el banco se mueve hacia la ejecución hipotecaria, mientras Kim y Kroy se mueven para venderlo primero con la esperanza de recuperar algo de dinero y así resolver sus problemas financieros.

Con todo lo demás que está pasando en la vida de Kroy en este momento, puede permitirse el lujo de perder un Rolls.

Kim Kardashian had a busy trip to NYC, also stopping in at Odell Beckham Jr.'s 31st birthday bash ...  after TMZ confirmed they had started "hanging out" thanks to mutual friends.

Making her way to the party following the 2023 CFDA Awards, busy bee Kim stole the spotlight in her black, figure-hugging lace-up gown.

Kim was in good company, with other attendees such as Lil Baby, Saquon Barkley, Saweetie, Stefon Diggs, James Harden, Ashley Graham, Justine Skye and more.

We were previously told Kim and Odell have run in the same circle for years ... but it's only recently that the SKIMS queen fueled romance speculation with the NFL athlete.

It's not clear who KK and OBJ's mutual friends are ... but this isn't the first time she has shown up for Odell's personal extravaganzas. Last November, she rocked up to his milestone 30th at Mother Wolf in L.A., and both attended Michael Rubin's July 4th White Party earlier this year.

Kim has been single since she split from former 'SNL' star Pete Davidson in August 2022 following a whirlwind 9-month romance. Meanwhile, OBJ and his longtime GF, Lauren Wood, split early this year.

Kim Kardashian tuvo un ajetreado viaje a Nueva York. Además de sus otros compromisos, Kim se detuvo en el cumpleaños número 31 de Odell Beckham Jr., después de que TMZ confirmara que ambos comenzaron a "salir" gracias a algunos amigos en común.

Kim fue a su fiesta después de participar en los Premios CFDA 2023, donde la estrella de la televisión se robó las miradas con su ajustado vestido negro de encaje.

En el cumpleaños de Odell estuvo en compañía de algunos famosos de la lista A, como Lil Baby, Saquon Barkley, Saweetie, Stefon Diggs, James Harden, Ashley Graham, Justine Skye y más.

Nos habían dicho que Kim y Odell habían estado compartiendo en el mismo círculo por años, pero solo recientemente comenzaron las especulaciones de que la reina de SKIMS está teniendo un romance con el atleta de la NFL.

No está claro quiénes son esos amigos en común de Kim y Odell, pero esta no es la primera vez que aparece en las extravagancias personales de Odell. El pasado mes de noviembre (2022), estuvo en su cumpleaños 30 en el Mother Wolf en Los Ángeles y ambos asistieron a la fiesta de Michael Rubin por el 4 de julio a principios de este año.

Kim ha estado soltera desde que se separó de la ex estrella de 'SNL' Pete Davidson en agosto de 2022, después de un romance relámpago de 9 meses. Mientras que Odell y su novia desde hace mucho tiempo, Lauren Wood, se separaron a principios de este año.

Travis Barker se presentó en el Cedars-Sinai Medical Center en Los Ángeles el lunes, casi una semana después de que Kourtney diera a luz a su bebé.

Travis llegó en su Range Rover a última hora de la tarde, presumiblemente para visitar a Kourtney y a su bebé recién nacido, Rocky.

Como informamos, Travis y Kourtney querían tener a su bebé en Halloween, y según nuestras fuentes, el parto estaba previsto para la semana pasada, por lo que bien puede ser que Rocky haya nacido el martes pasado.

No hemos visto mucho de la prole Kardashian en el hospital durante la última semana. Kylie apareció el jueves pasado, pero aparte de ella no ha habido otros avistamientos.

Este es el tercer hijo de Travis de 47 años y es el cuarto de Kourtney de 44 años.

Travis Barker showed up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. Monday, nearly a week after Kourtney gave birth to their baby boy.

Travis rolled up in his Range Rover in the late afternoon, presumably to visit Kourtney and their newborn baby, Rocky.

As we reported, Travis and Kourtney wanted a Halloween baby ... and according to our sources, the baby was due last week so it may well be Rocky was born last Tuesday.

We have not seen much of the Kardashian brood at the hospital over the last week. Kylie showed up last Thursday, but other than her there have been no other sightings.

This is 47-year-old Travis' 3rd child and it's 44-year-old Kourtney's 4th.

Doc Antle is facing potential prison time -- 'cause the guy cut a deal with the feds in his criminal case ... pleading guilty to charges of sneaking around animals and conspiring to launder money.

The 'Tiger King' star pled guilty Monday to one count of a wildlife trafficking charge and another count of a conspiracy to launder money ... both of which carry a max penalty of 5 years behind bars, a fine up to $250k and 3 years of supervised release.

It remains to be seen what the judge will ultimately sentence him to ... hizzoner is gonna review a report from the U.S. Probation Office in making that determination.

As we reported ... this whole thing stems from a bust last summer, when FBI agents hauled Antle into custody after he'd been indicted. The indictment alleged Doc engaged in an elaborate scheme to traffic wildlife dating back many years.

Long story short ... prosecutors said Doc concealed financial transactions related to animal trafficking and profited from it over the years.

Among the allegations, prosecutors claimed Doc had directed the sale of some cheetah cubs, lion cubs, tigers and a chimp ... allegedly using bulk payments to hide the transactions and falsifying paperwork. The feds also claimed he tried using his nonprofit in these sales as a way to make them look like donations.
